Happy Monday, Ndaxers— Here’s what happened last week:
HBO's new documentary "Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery" claims that Canadian developer Peter Todd is the elusive creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. The documentary’s producer, Cullen Hobak, presents circumstantial evidence, including cryptic online posts and Todd’s involvement with Bitcoin’s early development, to support this assertion. However, Todd has denied these claims, and the broader cryptocurrency community remains skeptical. Researchers and analysts argue that key facts, such as Todd's timeline in the cryptography space and his involvement with the Replace-by-Fee proposal, contradict HBO's conclusions. crypto.news
Ripple Labs has filed a notice of cross-appeal in its ongoing legal case against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The notice, filed on Oct. 10 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, moves the dispute to the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. This cross-appeal follows the SEC’s appeal earlier in October, both seeking to address aspects of an August ruling. That decision ordered Ripple to pay a $125 million civil penalty for securities law violations, though the SEC initially sought a $2 billion fine. Ripple’s legal team aims to review potential legal and procedural errors in the decision. Further proceedings are expected as both parties present additional arguments. Cointelegraph
Uniswap Labs has introduced Unichain, a layer-2 blockchain designed to enhance transaction speed, reduce costs, and improve cross-chain interoperability. Currently in testnet, Unichain is part of Optimism’s Superchain and aims to provide near-instant transaction experiences with plans for block times under 250 milliseconds. The new network will allow access to liquidity from other chains within the Superchain and incorporates technologies like Rollup Boost from Flashbots to optimize transaction ordering and minimize harmful practices such as Maximum Extractable Value (MEV).

Cardano has facilitated the first legally enforceable smart contract in Argentina, following the country’s legalization of cryptocurrency for commercial contracts. The contract, signed by Cardano ambassadors Mauro Andreoli and Lucas Macchia, involves a loan of 10,000 ADA tokens with a 10% interest rate, payable in four months. The agreement, fully compliant with Argentine law, marks the first instance where local courts have jurisdiction to enforce payment in ADA. Andreoli stated that this milestone could set a precedent for broader recognition of smart contracts in Argentina, potentially streamlining processes for various legal agreements like rentals and purchase contracts.
