Pons founder and lead developer Ozzy said claims circulating in the market that Pons allows tax rates to be changed after launch are inaccurate. According to Foresight News, he said some trading terminals route buys and sells to high-tax pools, even when Pons’ Uniswap V4-initialized pool has sufficient liquidity and a 0% tax rate, with only a 1% hook fee and all trades publicly disclosed. Ozzy said that when malicious actors launch a vamp, or vampire attack, against the pool by creating another pool for the same token with a higher tax rate to divert trading volume, terminals may show a higher tax rate. He said the figure can fluctuate depending on routing configuration errors and which pool a terminal selects, and does not mean the official pool’s tax rate was changed after issuance. Ozzy said he has asked the relevant terminals to fix the issue, saying it harms users and creates unnecessary FUD.

OpenAI said an internal AI system generated a proof for the Navier-Stokes equations, claiming it constructed a case in which a three-dimensional incompressible fluid develops a singularity in finite time. According to Sina Finance, the proof also includes a Lean formalization, but it has not yet undergone long-term peer review or received formal recognition from the Clay Mathematics Institute. The paper, titled "Finite Time Blowup for Navier-Stokes," follows the finite-time singularity path. OpenAI said the AI system built a fluid that starts from rest and is acted on by a smooth external force, with its velocity becoming unbounded in finite time while the total energy remains finite. OpenAI said about 10,000 parallel AI agents took part in the proof search over 88 hours, exchanging nearly 5 million messages. Another model then spent about 17 hours formalizing the result into a Lean proof, and OpenAI researchers estimated the computing cost at several million dollars. The company said the work was prompted after it learned that other researchers might have made related progress. It also said the Navier-Stokes proof was completed independently by its internal system, while acknowledging that its research direction was inspired by related rumors and that it could not fully rule out user data having been used in de-identified form to improve the model. OpenAI said it does not plan to claim the $1 million prize. It added that even if the proof passes independent review, the main significance would be in AI development, as the model moves from retrieving and organizing existing knowledge toward solving open problems, long-horizon collaboration, and formal verification.

The onshore yuan closed at 6.7079 per dollar, up 29 pips from the previous 4:30 PM close and its strongest level since July 11, 2022, according to ETNet. It traded between 6.7067 and 6.7099 during the session. The offshore yuan was up 6 pips at 6.7062. The daily midpoint was set at 6.7769, up 35 pips from the previous trading day and its highest since February 8, 2023, but about 730 pips weaker than market expectations. Market participants said a firmer yen and a softer dollar supported the yuan, while elevated oil prices and expectations for a September Federal Reserve rate hike could limit further dollar weakness. A foreign bank trader said yuan volatility remained low and the current trend was likely to continue until Thursday's U.S. inflation data.

According to the BBC, President Adama Barrow urged The Gambia's citizens to stay calm over prolonged power cuts and said the country was not alone in facing an electricity crisis affecting parts of West Africa. He said a new 24-megawatt generating unit was being installed at the Brikama power station and would be commissioned by the end of next month, while a contract had also been awarded for a 50MW solar power plant in Soma. Police used tear gas to disperse protesters in Banjul and surrounding areas on Monday night after residents took to the streets over blackouts that they said had sometimes lasted up to 48 hours. Barrow said the outages were a national security issue and an emergency, acknowledged shortcomings in planning, generation and maintenance, and warned against damaging public infrastructure. Nawec chief Gallo Saidy said reduced electricity imports from the regional grid and lower rainfall had contributed to the shortages.
