🚀 Binance to Adjust Tick Sizes for USDⓈ-M Perpetual Futures Contracts According to the announcement from Binance, the exchange is set to adjust the tick size for several USDⓈ-M Perpetual Futures Contracts to enhance market liquidity and improve trading experiences. The adjustments will occur on specific dates, starting from April 13, 2026, at 06:30 (UTC). The trading pairs affected include BASEDUSDT, GTCUSDT, ENAUSDT, and ENAUSDC, with the tick size changing from 0.0001 to 0.00001. Further adjustments will follow on April 15 and April 16, 2026, impacting pairs such as GUAUSDT, SIRENUSDT, CHRUSDT, ALICEUSDT, DENTUSDT, OGNUSDT, and DYDXUSDT. The adjustment will not affect the trading operations of USDⓈ-M Futures, except for specific contracts like CHRUSDT, ALICEUSDT, DENTUSDT, OGNUSDT, and DYDXUSDT. During the adjustment period, trading functions for these contracts will be temporarily suspended. For instance, the USDⓈ-M CHRUSDT contract will be suspended from April 16, 2026, 06:30 (UTC) to 06:31 (UTC), while the ALICEUSDT contract will be suspended from 06:45 (UTC) to 07:46 (UTC). Similar suspensions will occur for DENTUSDT, OGNUSDT, and DYDXUSDT contracts. During these times, users will be unable to place new orders or modify existing ones, and the contract status will change from "TRADING" to "PENDING_TRADING." API users can query the latest status and tick size changes using GET /fapi/v1/exchangeInfo. Binance emphasizes that the tick size update will not affect existing orders, as orders placed before the update will still be matched with the original tick size. Users are advised to refer to the Trading Parameters for more details and adjust their trading strategies accordingly to avoid unnecessary impacts.

🚀 Security Concerns Arise Over LLM Agent API Routers On April 10, Solayer founder @Fried_rice highlighted on social media the growing reliance of large language model (LLM) agents on third-party API routers, which distribute tool call requests to multiple upstream providers. According to BlockBeats, these routers operate as application layer proxies and can access each JSON payload in plaintext during transmission. However, no provider currently enforces encryption integrity protection between the client and upstream models. A study tested 28 paid routers purchased from platforms like Taobao, Xianyu, and Shopify independent sites, along with 400 free routers collected from public communities. The findings revealed that one paid router and eight free routers were actively injecting malicious code. Additionally, two routers deployed adaptive evasion triggers, 17 accessed AWS Canary credentials owned by researchers, and one stole ETH from a private key held by researchers. Further poisoning studies demonstrated that seemingly harmless routers could also be exploited. A leaked OpenAI key was used to generate 100 million GPT-5.4 tokens and over seven Codex sessions. Weaker bait configurations resulted in 2 billion billing tokens, 99 credentials across 440 Codex sessions, and 401 sessions running autonomously in YOLO mode. The research team developed an experimental proxy named Mine, capable of executing all four types of attacks on four public proxy frameworks. They also verified three client defense strategies: fault lock strategy gating, response-side anomaly screening, and append-only transparent logging. #LLM#API#Security#CyberSecurity#Malware#DataBreach#Encryption#Proxy#AI#MachineLearning#ETH
