Monad is a highly scalable Layer 1 smart contract platform with a rapidly growing ecosystem. Currently, over 80 protocols and dApps are planning to build on it, with expectations to reach 150 to 200 by the time the mainnet launches. Key partners of Monad include LayerZero and Pyth Network, which will enhance its cross-chain interoperability and provide reliable pricing data. Monad's roadmap includes its establishment in February 2022, securing $19 million in funding by February 2023, releasing documentation in September of the same year, planning to launch a testnet in the second half of 2024, and aiming to start the mainnet by late 2024 or early 2025. Technologically, Monad combines parallel execution with EVM compatibility, positioning it to potentially compete with existing platforms like Solana in terms of technical performance. Although Solana leads in speed and scalability, Monad's EVM compatibility offers an additional advantage. Moreover, Monad's technology may enable it to surpass other platforms lik

Decentralized confidential cloud computing services ensure the decentralized nature of cloud computing and maintain data security and privacy, but more crucially, they also enable broader DePIN business logic. Using token incentives to reduce the cost of cloud computing services, anyone requiring low-latency and high-computational power services can opt to deploy on WeTEE, receiving a generic cloud computing solution comparable to traditional cloud services. Users and developers from any public blockchain ecosystem can utilise WeTEE's confidential cloud computing services, thereby helping WeTEE become a foundational infrastructure for AI+Crypto driven by the entire blockchain, directly capturing the value of computational demand across the network.

Vitalik Buterin provides a detailed introduction to Binius, a highly efficient proof system based on binary fields. The article first reviews the concepts of finite fields and arithmetization, explaining how SNARK and STARK proof systems work by converting program statements into polynomial equations. Vitalik points out that although Plonky2 has proven that using smaller 64-bit and 31-bit fields can significantly improve the efficiency of proof generation, Binius further enhances efficiency by operating directly on zeros and ones, taking advantage of the features of binary fields. Binius uses multivariate polynomials to represent computational traces and employs a series of mathematical tricks, including the concept of hypercubes and Reed-Solomon encoding, to construct proofs. Vitalik believes that the direct computational ability of binary fields and operations on bits are key to Binius's efficiency.
