Blockchain
Blockchain is the underlying technology for almost all cryptocurrencies. It is a distributed ledger jointly maintained by decentralized nodes around the world. Blockchain is hailed as "the trust machine", enabling trustless peer-to-peer payments. Blockchain will become the infrastructure for the next generation of the Internet - Web 3.
As L2 fees decrease, more unique applications will choose to build on L2. The Cancun upgrade is an important milestone in Ethereum’s scalability journey, heralding a new era of increased activity on the L2 chain.
This article explores the potential and impact of the emerging EIP-4844 blob market, akin to the gas pricing mechanism of EIP-1559. The author introduces a solution for preconfirmed blob transactions and invites community participation in the experiment. The blob market could provide a better transaction experience for L2 users, a reliable packaging experience for rollups, and a stable future for the Ethereum roadmap. However, the broadcast and review of blob transactions may be influenced by timing games and censorship. By utilizing blob preconfirmation relays, the blob sidecar broadcasting delay issues on the Holesky testnet can be improved. This research offers a potential solution for the entire community.
This article delves into the intersection of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, also known as "Crypto x AI" or "Crypto + AI". The author suggests that integrating artificial intelligence agents into blockchain infrastructure could lead to the emergence of an internet of agents. The piece further discusses strategies to attain this, emphasizing on immediate use cases and applications. The author offers a functional definition for artificial intelligence agents, highlighting that these agents can vary in type. The cost of security for artificial intelligence and blockchain intersection is also explored, with the aim to reduce it. The article suggests new application areas such as content curation and artificial intelligence prediction markets. Ultimately, the emergence of an artificial intelligence agent economy could revolutionize the way artificial intelligence interacts, providing a more potent infrastructure across various sectors.
The crypto adage "price is news" reflects the impact of news on cryptocurrency prices. Asset pricing in the crypto space is mainly influenced by the community's perception of time, effort, and financial investment, which will lead to the formation of "publisher exchanges" in future crypto consumer applications. These exchanges will blur the lines between exchanges and publishers, achieving a merger of the two. Through cryptographic functions, consumer applications will become both publishers and exchanges, allowing users to issue and trade assets locally, thus monetizing user attention. Cryptographic primitives can strengthen information markets by extracting probabilistic outcomes from a vast amount of qualitative information. Tokens can coordinate actions in the real world and support the development of new enterprises. Cryptographic primitives unlock a new economy of attention, enabling like-minded individuals to exchange minutes for dollars.
AI has emerged as a significant catalyst for societal advancement, with the rise of large-scale AI models like ChatGPT fueling rapid growth in AI products and applications. The fusion of AI with Web3 stands out as a leading-edge technical trend, sparking the continuous emergence of related projects. This article delves into the potential and trajectory of AI+Web3 across the industry chain, encompassing Web3's empowerment of AI and the integration of AI technologies in Web3 applications. By enhancing data acquisition, preprocessing, and model validation, Web3 technology can amplify AI development and tackle challenges such as transparency, bias, and ethics. Currently, AI+Web3 applications are predominantly seen in sectors like gaming, social networking, data analytics, and financial prediction, with a competitive edge rooted in product and technical expertise accumulation.

Based on chain abstraction technology, MerlinChain enables BTC and other derivative assets to be cross-chained to Layer2, establishing an application protocol ecosystem and providing liquidity markets. Through the BTC-Connect platform of Particle Network, users can securely trade in their wallets, solving the problem of interaction between different chains.
Chain abstraction is a crucial direction for future development, aiming to allow users to enjoy the benefits of decentralization seamlessly. The CEO of Cycle Network believes that chain abstraction and self-custody will be future trends, making it easier for users to integrate into the decentralized world. With the development of rollup technology, layer2 and layer3 applications will see a significant explosion. Cycle Network hopes to address issues such as multi-chain deployment and cross-chain interaction, allowing the industry to return to an era where application development is the core. Cycle is a trustless omnichain ledger that utilizes ZK Rollup technology for fast multi-chain data movement and simplifies multi-chain ledger technology through an indexing mechanism.
Ethereum is a blockchain protocol known for its toolkit, smart contracts, and code-aligned ecosystem, heavily relying on ethers.js (a Javascript library) to provide the necessary potency for its developer-centric approach.
