According to HTX market data, OP rose more than 23% against the broader market, currently trading at $0.1211, with its market capitalization climbing to $524 million, hitting a near one-week high. On the news front, the Optimism Foundation submitted a governance proposal on October 29, proposing to return a portion of sequencer and priority fees to partners that drive key commercial activity on OP Mainnet in ETH. The rebate cap will not exceed the fees contributed by these partners, and OP tokens will not be used to avoid adding sell pressure. The remaining revenue will still support the existing Superchain buyback program. Additionally, Uniswap’s Unichain mainnet migration to the OP Enterprise window (its testnet was completed on October 13, with the mainnet originally scheduled for October 29) has Optimism taking over production operations and maintenance, further strengthening the Superchain ecosystem and its revenue contributions.

Beating AI News Flash: Anthropic adjusts Claude subscription plans. The $100/month Max 5x tier is renamed to Max, while the $200/month Max 20x tier is rebranded as Ultra, with prices remaining unchanged. The Ultra tier also eliminates its previous 5-hour short-term usage limit. Previously, users could be forced to wait hours to resume Claude access even if their weekly quota was unspent, due to excessive calls within a short window. Now, users can use the service in concentrated sessions without this restriction. The new policy is rolling out in batches to most existing Ultra subscribers. New accounts still have the 5-hour limit temporarily; they must undergo automatic system verification to prevent fraud and abuse, after which the limit will be lifted automatically, and users will receive an email alert. Notably, the total weekly quota has not increased. The original "20x" designation referred to the 5-hour quota being 20 times that of the Pro tier, not the weekly allowance. The Ultra tier still only offers 10 times the Pro tier’s weekly quota, and the Fable model has a separate weekly limit.

Binance released its second security incident update announcement early this morning, disclosing two key subsequent timelines. Issued at 3:33 AM (UTC+8) today, the announcement states that the exchange plans to conduct its first Proof of Reserves (PoR) snapshot within 12 hours of release, with results to be published by November 2. Meanwhile, its technical team aims to gradually restore withdrawal services in approximately 34 hours, subject to security check progress. Calculated from the announcement’s release time, Binance targets completing the first PoR snapshot by 15:33 today, and launching phased withdrawal restoration by 13:33 tomorrow. As of now, roughly 6 hours and 20 minutes remain until the scheduled PoR snapshot, and about 28 hours and 20 minutes until the targeted withdrawal restoration. Binance previously noted it has prepared over $6.34 billion in corporate funds: around $5 billion worth of affected token assets are already in place, covering ~80% of the stolen funds, while the remainder is being acquired via on-exchange and over-the-counter (OTC) channels. Separately, approximately $3 billion in affected assets have been frozen on-chain.
