AVS stands for Active Validation Services, a term that essentially describes any network requiring its own validation system (e.g., oracles, DA, cross-chain bridges, etc.), which can be understood as projects using restaking services. By comparing Eigenlayer, Symbioticfi, and Karak Network, we can see more mature solutions and development potential, illustrating how AVS and restaking technologies eliminate the burden of building underlying trust networks, allowing projects to focus on developing new features and better decentralization.

The ZK coprocessor can be regarded as an off-chain computing plug-in derived from the modular concept. Its function is similar to the GPU in our traditional computers that shares graphics computing tasks for the CPU, that is, a processor that shares computing tasks in specific scenarios. . Under this design architecture, heavy data and complex calculation logic tasks that public chains are not good at can be calculated through the ZK coprocessor. The chain only needs to receive the returned calculation results, and its correctness is determined by ZK proof guarantees, and ultimately enables trusted off-chain calculations of complex tasks.

Movement aims to integrate the Move language into the EVM ecosystem to address long-standing security issues without relying on L2 solutions. MOVE reduces blockchain transaction storage space and computation costs through an optimization technique called "modular packing," which bundles multiple smart contracts into a single module to lower storage and indexing costs, and increases execution speed by reducing the steps needed to execute bytecode.

Fuel is the fastest execution layer in modular blockchains, offering maximum security and the highest flexible throughput for decentralized applications. As an execution layer, it can be flexibly configured to work with other blockchain layers such as Ethereum and Celestia. This modular and multi-blockchain configuration enhances its flexibility and scalability.

This article highlights the crucial role of token economics in crypto investing. Without a solid understanding of token economics, achieving successful investments is challenging. Key factors include total and circulating supply, allocation details, lock-up/unlock periods, release schedules, and market demand.

Although the Rollup L2 ecosystem faces challenges such as adjusting revenue models and attracting users, it has made significant progress in reducing Ethereum transaction costs and improving efficiency. By using the Sequencer as a cash flow entry point, fees are charged for Rollup transactions to cover the costs generated by L1 and L2, and to generate additional profits.

Whether in terms of price performance or ecosystem development, the competition between Ethereum and Solana often becomes a focal point of attention. Ethereum, as the early origin of MEME, has gained a higher market share and recognition due to its stronger capital and user base. Additionally, the diversification of MEME types on Ethereum more easily meets the needs of different players. On the other hand, MEMEs on Solana are adept at quickly leveraging trends to capture traffic, while also demonstrating stronger price explosiveness and capital attraction.

The performance of the TON game ecosystem has been rising steadily. Driven by various TON growth plans, relatively simple HTML5 games, lowest development costs, and a large number of potential players, TON has established itself as an extremely attractive choice. Click-and-click games fundamentally do not have the conditions to achieve valuable user monetization, while hybrid, general and hard-core games combine the necessary low-friction acquisition rate and deep potential revenue streams. Find the right balance between providing enough social competition and entertainment value.

Prodia is an artificial intelligence (AI) platform specializing in image and music generation through its API. The company developed the Stable Diffusion API tool, featuring various models that convert text into high-quality images, including SD1.5, SDXL, and SD3, each offering different resolutions and functionalities. Prodia's infrastructure boasts over 10,000 GPUs, capable of processing image generation requests in just 2 seconds. Since its inception, Prodia has generated over 400 million images. As an emerging force in the AI field, Prodia is expanding with its innovative distributed computing technology and powerful generative capabilities, but the rapid iteration of technology and dynamic market changes mean that Prodia must remain flexible and forward-thinking to address future uncertainties.

For early-stage protocols, Express Relay offers an accelerated deployment solution, enabling new protocols to seamlessly connect to established top searcher networks to fulfill their liquidation needs. For searchers, Express Relay aggregates liquidation and other valuable transaction opportunities from multiple DeFi protocols in one place. Searchers can compete for all these opportunities without having to write custom code for each protocol's interface. By reducing integration costs, Express Relay allows searchers to operate more efficiently, resolving the issue of sourcing liquidators.

ETH holders have staked over $111 billion worth of ETH, accounting for 28% of the total supply. The amount of staked ETH is also referred to as Ethereum's "security budget" because stakers could face network penalties for double-spending attacks and other violations of protocol rules. In return for maintaining Ethereum's security, stakers earn rewards through protocol issuance, priority fees, and maximum extractable value. Users can easily stake ETH through liquid staking pools without sacrificing asset liquidity, leading to a higher demand for staking than Ethereum developers anticipated. This article will outline the staking situation on Ethereum, including the types of stakers, risks and rewards associated with staking, and predictions for staking rates. It will also provide insights into proposals by developers to adjust network issuance in response to high staking demand.

Intent-based approaches have changed the way transactions work by focusing on users' ultimate goals or intents rather than the specific steps to achieve them. Although intent-based bridging technology can enhance user experience, the lack of solvers can lead to centralized solutions. Additionally, the absence of solvers introduces centralization issues, such as single points of failure, censorship risks, and the potential for increased costs.

Contracts, simply put, are restrictions on how tokens can be transferred, allowing users to specify the distribution of UTXOs through contracts. Many scaling solutions, such as the Lightning Network, are based on this principle, demonstrating that Bitcoin's scaling solutions heavily rely on introspection and contracts. In the crypto world, the most common method is commitment, often achieved through hashing. To prove that we meet the transfer requirements, a signature mechanism is needed for verification. Thus, contracts involve many adjustments related to hashing and signatures.
