PANews reported on November 4th that Vitalik Buterin tweeted that the modexp precompilation is extremely unfriendly to ZK-EVM, with worst-case computational overhead reaching 50 times the average block size. He called for an EIP to replace it with equivalent EVM code, even if it requires higher gas. He admitted that as the designer of modexp, he was "ashamed to admit defeat" and pointed out that its extremely low usage and increased risk of consensus failure should not sacrifice the efficiency of the entire Ethereum ecosystem for the needs of a very small number of people.PANews reported on November 4th that Vitalik Buterin tweeted that the modexp precompilation is extremely unfriendly to ZK-EVM, with worst-case computational overhead reaching 50 times the average block size.

Antalpha: Gold RWA is the best paradigm for the digital reconstruction of real-world assets.
PANews reported on November 5th that George Zhou, Managing Director of Antalpha, stated at the Finternet 2025 Asia Digital Finance Summit, supported by the OSL Group, that Gold RWA is the most promising and recognized direction in the RWA field, and will inevitably become the best paradigm for the digital reconstruction of value storage and transfer. Zhou stated that traditional methods of holding and trading gold have shortcomings. For example, physical gold cannot generate interest and is difficult to liquidate; ETFs have holding costs but are difficult to deliver; and paper gold cannot be exchanged for physical gold and its price fluctuates significantly. In contrast, Gold RWA uses blockchain as its underlying technology, combined with the digital division and verifiable transfer of physical gold, thereby enabling the upgrade of gold from offline to on-chain and from bills to digital certificates.
