$500 billion ETH Holdings Landscape: Who is Leading this Value Distribution? As the market value of Ethereum approaches $500 billion, how is this massive value distributed behind the scenes of its holdings? Through on-chain data, it is not difficult to see that the composition of its holders is clear and hides industry trends. Who is controlling the value distribution of ETH? The answer is gradually emerging. 1. Largest Holder: Beacon Deposit Contract (over 50% share) The largest holder of ETH is neither individuals nor institutions, but rather the core that supports its PoS (Proof of Stake) mechanism – the Beacon deposit contract. As the "gateway" for all validators to participate in network consensus, this contract has currently locked over 65 million ETH, accounting for more than half of the total ETH supply. These locked funds not only serve as the "ballast" for the security of the Ethereum network, but also reflect the transition of ETH from a "trading asset" to a "network security asset" under the PoS mechanism. 2. Core Circulation Hub: Top Exchanges (Millions of Holdings) Exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, and Bitfinex hold millions of ETH each, becoming key hubs in the ETH circulation market. These funds are not "idle holdings"; instead, they continuously circulate in trading, cross-chain transfers, derivative settlements, and other scenarios, providing ample liquidity to the market. It is precisely due to the holdings and circulation of exchanges that ordinary users can easily participate in ETH trading, and the market activity of ETH is thus maintained. 3. Mainstream Promoters: Institutions and Listed Companies (Totaling over 5 million pieces) ETH has been able to break through the "niche asset" label, thanks in no small part to the entry of institutions and publicly listed companies. • Institutional Side: Compliance funds such as BlackRock, Grayscale, Fidelity, and Bitwise manage a total of over 5 million ETH. This means that ETH has officially entered institutional portfolios, becoming a compliant allocation asset alongside stocks and bonds, marking the strengthening of its "mainstream financial asset" attribute. • Enterprise side: Listed companies such as Bitmine and SharpLink Gaming are not only actively buying ETH, but also earning returns through staking, incorporating it into their financial reports. For these companies, ETH is no longer just a "speculative asset," but rather an "on-chain asset" that can generate stable cash flow, further solidifying the value foundation of ETH. 4. Individual "whales": Influence continues to weaken Individuals who once held a significant position in the cryptocurrency market are gradually becoming marginalized in the ETH holdings landscape. Vitalik Buterin holds about 200,000 ETH, the Winklevoss brothers hold around 100,000 ETH, and early participants like Lubin and Di Iorio have holdings as well, but their proportions are now negligible under a market cap of $500 billion. The only "special case" is an Estonian banker who purchased 250,000 ETH through an ICO in the early years, but the position has remained "asleep" for a long time due to the loss of the private key, becoming a unique story of holdings on the blockchain. 5. Overall Distribution: A few addresses hold the majority of the chips. The total number of Ethereum addresses on the chain has exceeded 130 million, but there are less than 1.3 million addresses holding more than 1 ETH. This means that holding just 1 ETH places you in the top 1% of ETH holders. However, it is important to note that "the number of addresses" does not equal "the actual number of people"—a wallet address of an exchange may correspond to millions of ordinary users with fragmented holdings, and it cannot be simply equated to "a few people controlling the majority of the chips." Summary: The narrative shift of ETH The current ETH has long since departed from its early positioning as a "geek's chip game." From the perspective of holdings, more than half of the ETH is locked in the PoS mechanism to ensure network security, with millions of coins maintained in circulation by exchanges. Institutions and listed companies control a considerable share, while the influence of individual large holders continues to weaken. This series of changes clearly indicates that the story of ETH is steadily shifting from "wealth speculation narrative" to "blockchain infrastructure narrative," with its value anchors gradually transitioning from "market speculation" to "network functionality and ecological value." $BTC $ETH #Non-farm payroll data is coming

#TBC##TBC##BNB##SOL##BTC# Why is TBC regarded as the next legendary ten-thousand times? Four core advantages provide the answer: Firstly, it has a prestigious background and noble lineage. It was born on the same day as Bitcoin, both being "children" of Satoshi Nakamoto, and can be considered twin brothers, sharing addresses, private keys, and blocks, with a lineage that is interconnected. Secondly, the technology is top-notch. The development team consists of the original Bitcoin geek team, not only continuing the top-tier technical genes but also overcoming the pain points of Bitcoin's slow speed and high fees. Thirdly, application breakthroughs. The innovative development of the BVM virtual machine enables Bitcoin to have smart contract functionality, allowing for the development of a rich Bitcoin ecosystem based on this, significantly enhancing scalability. Fourthly, block expansion. The Bitcoin block is only 1M, while the TBC block reaches 4G, achieving a 4000-fold expansion based on this, providing a strong and highly scalable infrastructure for the future development of Bitcoin's myriad ecosystems. This kind of hardcore strength makes TBC a strong competitor in the realm of ten-thousand-fold legends.

I wasn't really interested in the music festival at first, but Gate's "Token of Love" is really something. It's not just about listening to music; you can also complete tasks to earn NFTs and even bind future rights. This immersive experience is exactly what a tech geek like me loves. The lineup is also amazing, with HyunA, KAKA, CLICK#15, a cross-style mix that has my expectations pumped to the max.

#ETH# The wealth code from "Electronic Pets" to "Digital Era" When Elon Musk posted a picture of four puppies on Twitter with the caption "I love puppies", he may not have anticipated that this tweet was giving birth to the wildest crypto narrative of 2024. PUPPIES is not just a simple "internet celebrity dog", but a complex digital asset that integrates Musk's personal IP, meme culture, and financial engineering. Core Narrative Logic: • Emotional Symbol Reconstruction: Transforming the "cute pet premium" in the pet economy into a value consensus for cryptocurrency, creating emotional anchors through the collective memory of the Musk family's pets (such as the precedent of ILOVE BOB with a market value of 100 million). • Intergenerational Symbol Fusion: As the culmination of the "Love Series" and "Puppy Series", PUPPIES embodies Musk's tech geek spirit from Tesla to SpaceX, and the cross-dimensional collision with crypto-native symbols like Shiba Inu and baby Shiba Inu.

Thank you Crypto The Web3 world is staging a grand drama of "experience counterattack"! Chain abstraction, AI intrusion, Bitcoin Layer2 crazy activities... Cross-chain operations that once drove people to the brink of baldness are now simpler than posting on social media. Zero Gas fees, Bitcoin earning interest, AI chatting with you, blockchain has finally transformed from a geek toy into a joyful haven for humanity! Today, let's take a look at those fierce players who are "redefining experience". ▪️ @vooi_io | #VOOI# Vooi, this guy can be called the "Didi of on-chain derivatives." You don't need to understand what a cross-chain bridge is, nor do you need to worry about whether Gas fees are high or not. Just open it, and you can slide through all-chain perpetual contracts and click on RWA assets, because it directly packages the liquidity from major exchanges into a "family bucket." Unified accounts and smart routing provide a trading experience smoother than Dove chocolate, with an absurdly high transaction rate, making it the "five-star chauffeur" of the DeFi world. ▪️ @recallnet | #Recall Recall, literally meaning: "Remember this for me!" But its true identity is "On-chain Anti-Counterfeiting Officer." Every piece of content you send, every certificate, it uses blockchain + zero-knowledge proof to give you a "True Steel Seal" that no one can tamper with. It is suitable for traceability, certification, and even preventing your family's NFT ancestors from being impersonated. From now on in the on-chain world, fake goods retreat, and reality reigns! ▪️ @tenprotocol | #TenProtocol Ten Protocol, also known as the "Web3 Invisible Cloak." Don't want people to see your transactions? Hide them! Don't want your data exposed? Encrypt it! It uses trusted execution environments and high-strength encryption technology to wrap your sensitive information tightly, leaving front-end attacks only able to stare in disbelief. It is the "personal bodyguard" for DApp and privacy-conscious users, specifically designed to combat all kinds of peeping Toms. ▪️ @build_on_bob | #BuildOnBOB BOB, not "Bob the Builder", but a hybrid genius of "Bitcoin on Ethereum"! It combines the security of Bitcoin with the smart contracts of Ethereum, allowing you to play with DeFi while holding BTC, earning profits as easily as saving in Yu'ebao. Recently, it just raised $21 million in funding, clearly aiming to tap into the hundred billion-level "sleeping income" market of Bitcoin! ▪️ @VeloraDEX | #Velora VeloraDEX, the "King of Autumn Mountain" in the DeFi world. It focuses on speed, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness: low slippage, high speed, and a user-friendly interface that even your mom can use. It optimizes trading paths like an F1 racetrack with its liquidity aggregation algorithm. Whether you want to swap, farm, or chase after a meme coin, you can hit the gas pedal all the way down, saving on Gas and time, feeling great all the way. ▪️ @antix_in | #antix Antix, the "drama school graduate" in AI digital humans. It not only chats but also accompanies you in crying, laughing, and even acting in "Love and Web3"! Through deep learning and emotional computing, it transforms cold interactions into warm conversations, perfectly adapting to social and gaming scenarios. In the future, your on-chain partner might be more dramatic than a real person. ▪️ @LABtrade_ | #LAB LABtrade, the "one-stop convenience store" in cross-chain trading. Whether you want to exchange ETH for BTC or AVAX for SOL, it helps you complete the transaction in seconds using atomic swaps and cross-communication protocols, with fees so low they are negligible, and operations as simple as scanning a QR code. No more jumping back and forth between seven or eight chains, LAB does it all, no need for anyone else in cross-chain. ▪️ @OpenledgerHQ | #OpenLedger OpenLedger, a social blockchain that combines "AI + Web3". It has created OpenChat, allowing you to chat and earn tokens, with content creation directly monetized using the Proof of Attribution mechanism, meaning "you contribute, you share the profits". It is expected to launch its mainnet and issue tokens soon, and it claims to invest $25 million to support developers, showing a strong intention to become the social network and red envelope group of Web3. The innovation of Web3 never stops. Some projects are holding back their big moves, while others have already launched to showcase their capabilities, but they are all doing the same thing: transforming blockchain from "usable" to "user-friendly" and from "hardcore" to "fun." The future is here, just not evenly distributed yet, and these projects are working hard to lay it out in front of you. @cookiedotfun

The day before yesterday, I went to see Jackie Chan's movie, and my friends were flooding my social media feed. "Tracking the Wind" incorporated encryption elements that made it a thrilling experience, worth double the ticket price. As the movie ended, a guy in the back row muttered, "When Jackie Chan signed with MetaMask, I got goosebumps." In simple terms, this film did three things that no one has done before - it is the first domestic film to make encryption the main storyline, rather than just a background element. Jackie Chan plays a detective investigating cross-border money laundering, with a transaction of 30,000 USDT from MetaMask being a key clue; Zhang Zifeng writes the mnemonic phrase on paper and hides it in the corner of her clothes, and the next moment she lights it on fire, the camera gives a close-up. The technical details are on point; even the old investors are convinced after seeing it. The main chain is chosen as Ethereum, with BTC and Tron making guest appearances in the flashback; all props are original factory goods—Ledger hardware on display, mnemonic phrase in BIP39 format, K-line directly adjusted via TradingView, and even the DAO multi-signature follows the 2/3 rule. The review can pass because it defines the coin as a "tool"; the main theme is still pursuing the murderer. Hong Kong co-productions + overseas filming provided creative space; in the end, the police still caught the person, and the on-chain assets were also locked, maintaining the right values. Tony Leung is the most explosive; the villain Zhao Chongwu he plays hides the cold wallet at the bottom of the fish tank, locking 200 million DAO with multi-signature. In a panic, he breaks the Ledger to force a hand, full of crazy geek vibes. The Easter egg is well hidden: the block height at the end is 20601723, corresponding to the ENS domain "fengying2026.eth". The sequel is estimated to have started production. Watch it as a cop and robber action film from outside the circle, and don't bring newcomers inside, as it’s easy to spoil by explaining on site. As the old saying goes: technology is innocent, but human nature has its shadows; after enjoying it, remember to keep your mnemonic phrases safe.

Returning still as a youth, interpreting the vision of "making Crypto Assets invisible" proposed by @burnt_xion. What XION aims to do is really practical, as most people in real life are not concerned about concepts like "blockchain", "Gas fees", and "private keys". They only care about the results: whether it can be used, whether it is safe, and whether the experience is smooth. Just to give a casual example from daily life: 🏦 Traditional Bank vs Blockchain Wallet When you transfer money at a bank, you never think about whether it uses the SWIFT system or a clearinghouse; you just need to enter the account number, amount, and then click confirm. But in today's Web3 world, you need to prepare a wallet, save the mnemonic phrase, choose Gas fees, and confirm the chain... The threshold is extremely high for ordinary people. What XION wants to do It's like making the blockchain the "invisible bank backend"; users only need to "click to pay" or "log in with an email," while all the complex signatures, Gas fee calculations, and cross-chain communications are encapsulated by the protocol layer. In other words, @burnt_xion wants to turn the "blockchain experience" into an "Alipay/PayPal experience." 🛠 Technical Language Deconstruction The core value of XION lies in Protocol-Level Abstraction (, which means it is not simply making a wallet, but rather shielding complexity at the lowest level, allowing both developers and users to not have to face encryption challenges directly. 1. Account Abstraction (Meta Account Contract) You can create a blockchain account using just your email/social account/FaceID, instead of saving a mnemonic phrase. 2. Signature Abstraction (Abstraxion SDK) Users simply initiate an OAuth-style token request, and the actual signature is completed by the on-chain Meta Account. 3. Gas abstraction (USDC unified billing + Treasury contract) Users may not even feel the existence of Gas, as the application side has prepaid, and the pricing is uniformly done using the stablecoin USDC. 4. Device Abstraction (Cosmos SDK + IBC) No matter which chain you use, the underlying cross-chain communication is shielded, providing developers and users with a unified experience. 📈 Why is it important For developers: from "complex multi-wallet integration" → "access similar to Firebase Auth". Development costs and barriers have been significantly reduced. To users: From "Must understand blockchain" → "No need to know this is blockchain". The threshold is lowered to the same level as Web2 applications. For the industry: Truly transition Web3 from "geek circle" to "mass application." Only by hiding the blockchain can Web3 possibly gain a billion users. 👉 Summary @burnt_xion's vision of "making Crypto Assets invisible" is not just a slogan, but a strategic direction of a technological architecture. Its significance is like turning "electricity" from exposed wires into invisible infrastructure in a socket: only when people can turn on the light without understanding the principles of electricity does power truly change the world.

ETH is being stuffed into warehouses by institutions: is it a faith deposit or capital hostage? Seeing the "Ethereum Reserve Company + ETF has accumulated 10 million ETH" When many people hear "ETH", their first reaction is: the bull market is coming! But from another perspective - what is this thing, exactly? Is it "faith deposit" or "capital hostage"? First, let's look at the optimists: institutions are hoarding coins like crazy, indicating that the value logic of Ethereum has been certified by Wall Street. It is no longer a dream of a niche geek, but a legitimate asset that has entered the mainstream. Just like the gold ETF back in the day, turning bars of gold into tradable products, instantly creating countless buyers. But pessimists remind us: don't forget, institutions are not philanthropists. The more they buy, the more ability they have to manipulate the market. While small retail investors are excited about "ETH flying high", they might be discussing in the boardroom: "Should we crash the market to scoop up some liquidity?" From this perspective, 10 million ETH is like the market's "hostage", with institutions holding the knife, ready to harvest at any moment. However, that being said, the long-term trend remains positive. Because institutional buying itself is a signal: they cannot hold hundreds of billions in chips to gamble on a "short-lived bubble." The more realistic logic is: since the positions are held, it will inevitably promote compliance and drive applications, ensuring that ETH becomes increasingly "valuable." In summary: Behind the 10 million ETH is a clash of power and belief. For ordinary investors, the only strategy is to not get scared away, nor to blindly chase highs, but to patiently follow the "patience of capital". #机构以太坊储备破1000万枚##Strategy放宽股票出售规则#

PUBLIC Token: This is not a "public restroom", but rather a "public entrance" in encryption! If you hear about the PUBLIC Token for the first time, you might not be able to help but laugh: What is this? Public utility fee? Or a notice board in the subway? Don't worry, this token is not an abbreviation for "public restroom," but rather attempts to serve as a public gateway to the world of encryption. PUBLIC's ambition is very straightforward - to make users feel less "dazed" and more "ready to use". The current Web3 experience is such that, not to mention newbies, even seasoned players often feel like they are searching for an exit in a maze: wallets not connecting, chain fees fluctuating wildly, and cross-chain transactions requiring incantations. PUBLIC aims to unify this chaos into a smoother experience layer, allowing encryption to truly move towards a "public utility". Humorously speaking, PUBLIC is somewhat like a "blockchain subway station": you don't need to understand how the subway operates, you just swipe your card to enter the station, and the train naturally takes you to your destination. Users only see simple operations, while the complex mechanisms behind it are all quietly supported by PUBLIC. So the question arises: Can this become popular? The answer is - it at least aligns with the trend. Because for encryption to reach the masses, it cannot rely solely on geek spirit and the romance of white papers. If PUBLIC can truly lower the threshold, it would be equivalent to building a big door in the encryption world, with a sign that says: "Everyone is welcome, easy access." Of course, to joke a bit, what PUBLIC fears the most is being "too public"—anyone can use it, but no one wants to pay the bill. Whether it can truly attract value accumulation depends on whether it can form a unique ecosystem, rather than just being a "Web3 customer service." In summary: The PUBLIC Token sounds like a joke, but if it really works, it could be the "subway entrance" of encryption—not flashy, but a necessity. #PUBLIC创作大赛#

I always feel like $sol is dragging its feet waiting for the approval of the ETF, and there might be a big breakthrough. After all, the highest calls for reserves across the network, besides BTC and Ether, are for $sol. If it really breaks above 200, it will probably be like recently with okb, where many golden dogs will explode up there again. So I think we can ambush some strong memes on sol now, perhaps it will be a hundredfold coin in the future, after all, sol has been stagnant for too long. In the past couple of days, I had nothing to do, so I used X3---@x3dotpro to scan the blockchain and discovered a nihilistic AI meme $CAT that was fairly launched on the Pump platform @pumpdotfun around January this year. I checked it out, and the project is now managed by the decentralized community CTO @CTO_Cats, and the fundamentals look good. I'll briefly explain why I am optimistic about this $CAT. 1⃣Currently, the Solana Meme war is blazing. $CAT was fairly launched on the Solana Pumpfun platform, born from natural meme soil. Today, the four major launch platforms on Solana (Pump, Letsbonk, Jupiter Studio, Moonshot) are igniting the meme warfare, accounting for 86% of the total trading volume on the network, which is 6.14 times the total of other public chains—when playing MEME, you definitely have to come back to Solana in the end. The value of animal-themed IP. $CAT, like $DOGE, naturally possesses affinity and cultural penetration, enabling it to quickly form a global consensus. Those who enjoy playing with memes know that animal coins can be considered the most popular and the easiest to build a culture around in the meme space. Moreover, animal-themed IP memes are more likely to become super memes that transcend bull and bear cycles, continuously creating the myth of wealth. 3⃣The value revolution of AI MEME. $CAT is based on the open-source multimodal AI framework CAT Terminal and has launched the first AI gamified application in the Solana ecosystem—AI Cat Mining [ ]. It integrates AI economic models, on-chain incentives, MEME culture, and feeding gameplay, which can be said to have pioneered the new gameplay of Meme 2.0. Other people's cats can only act cute, but $CAT's cat can mine! Moreover, the AI Meme track is still in its early stages, with only a market value of several billion, which is still a small initial development for future growth. 4⃣The value of nihilism meme Code is truth, the roadmap is bullshit. $CAT was born from an accidental AI geek experiment, emerging from the void of code, filled with pure nothingness, absurdity, and chaos, mocking all traditions and human greed and ignorance. Also belonging to the nihilism track are $fartcoin mocking traditional finance and $useless, which means useless is useful. Both have been listed on @coinbase spot, with hundreds to thousands of times in price increase, and we continue to be optimistic about the subsequent memes containing the spirit of nihilism. 5⃣ Exchange institution endorsement. Currently, $CAT has been launched on Gate @Gate and Bitget Alpha zone. According to rumors, $CAT has entered the radar of the research teams of major exchanges, showing potential for further listing on spot markets and expanding its market influence! It is highly likely to be listed in the Binance Alpha zone next. I think the current Gate/Bitget Alpha is just a warm-up, and Binance spot trading is also not something to be overlooked!

Notice The weekly line has closed, and Bitcoin's weekly line has formed an inverted hanging man, which is quite dangerous. Ethereum's weekly line is fine. However, the 2-day line and 3-day line are quite dangerous. Overall, we need to see if the US stock market can rebound. If the US stock market rebounds, Bitcoin and Ethereum can oscillate and repair their patterns at high levels. If the US stock market drops directly, then the trends of Bitcoin and Ethereum may resonate and accelerate the downward trend, as their current patterns are dangerous.

#DBC#$ETH Before the rise, everyone's evaluation of Vitalik was: nerdy, socially awkward, scruffy in appearance, speaking like an AI-generated prompt, always talking about rollups, zkps, not doing serious work, and the ETH Foundation was selling coins every few days, showing no signs of a bull run. $ETH has risen, and everyone evaluates Vitalik as: a geek genius, pure in thought, restrained in speech, transcending the market's clamor, a rare "philosopher prince" in the crypto industry.

Bitcoin: Fluctuation Verification, Technology-Driven and Market Reflection 1. The Birth and Rise of Bitcoin Against the backdrop of the 2008 global financial crisis, a mysterious figure known as Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin white paper "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System." The following year, Bitcoin was officially born. It is based on blockchain technology and is a decentralized digital currency that is free from the regulation and control of traditional financial institutions. At first, Bitcoin was little known, circulating and trading only among geek communities. In May 2010, the famous "Pizza Incident" in Bitcoin history occurred, when a programmer bought two pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins. At that time, this 10,000 Bitcoins was worth only a few dozen dollars, but considering today's price of Bitcoin, these two pizzas are regarded as the most expensive in history. Over time, Bitcoin gradually entered the public eye, and its price soared. From a few cents to tens of thousands of dollars, it attracted the attention of global investors, whether professional financial institutions or ordinary individual investors, all of whom began to venture into the Bitcoin space. 2. The Technical Charm and Advantages of Bitcoin The underlying technology of Bitcoin—blockchain—features decentralization, immutability, and traceability. Decentralization means there is no single central authority controlling the issuance and transactions of Bitcoin; all transaction records are distributed across numerous nodes worldwide, significantly reducing trust costs and enabling secure transactions between strangers. For example, in traditional cross-border remittances, intermediaries like banks are often required, leading to high fees and long processing times, whereas Bitcoin transactions can achieve fast, low-cost cross-border transfers. The immutable characteristic ensures the security and reliability of transactions. Every Bitcoin transaction is recorded on the blockchain, and once recorded, it cannot be modified. This effectively prevents issues such as fraud and double spending, providing a more solid security guarantee for financial transactions. Traceability helps regulatory authorities combat money laundering, illegal trading, and other criminal activities. Although Bitcoin transactions possess a certain degree of anonymity, the flow of funds can still be traced through the analysis of transaction data on the blockchain. 3. The Market Revolution and Opportunities Brought by Bitcoin The emergence of Bitcoin has triggered profound changes in the global financial market. It has created a brand new asset class of digital currency, giving rise to numerous cryptocurrencies and blockchain projects. The cryptocurrency market has gradually formed a massive ecosystem, including cryptocurrency exchanges, wallet service providers, mining machine manufacturers, and more. For investors, Bitcoin offers a brand new investment option. It has a lower correlation with traditional assets, which can help to diversify risk in asset allocation. Some investors have achieved significant asset appreciation by holding Bitcoin. At the same time, Bitcoin has also driven the application of blockchain technology in other fields, such as supply chain finance, medical data management, copyright protection, and more. Companies can leverage blockchain technology to improve business efficiency, reduce operational costs, and create new business value. 4. Future Outlook of Bitcoin The future of Bitcoin is filled with uncertainty. From the perspective of technological development, as blockchain technology continues to improve, the performance and security of Bitcoin may be further enhanced. At the same time, an increasing number of enterprises and institutions are beginning to explore the application scenarios of Bitcoin, which may drive Bitcoin to be applied in a wider range of fields. However, changes in the regulatory environment remain one of the biggest challenges facing Bitcoin. If countries strengthen their regulation of cryptocurrencies, the development of Bitcoin may be somewhat restricted. In addition, market competition is intensifying, with an increasing number of cryptocurrencies emerging, posing a threat to Bitcoin's market position. Nevertheless, as the pioneer of digital currency, Bitcoin has profoundly changed people's perception of money and finance. Its development will continue to attract global attention, and its future direction will significantly influence the landscape of digital finance. #美SEC发表流动性质押声明#

"Sunday Recommendation | Experiencing the Most Important TheDAO Hard Fork Event in Ethereum History" (Editor | Bai Ding, Geek web3) In 2016, the TheDAO attack event became the most controversial fork point in Ethereum's history. Danial and Jan, co-founders of CKB/Nervos and witnesses of the event, reviewed the vulnerability analysis, community response, the creation of the CarbonVote voting mechanism, and the chain split between ETH and ETC. The two discussed the issues of Code is Law, the awakening of security awareness, and community consensus, believing that the event not only promoted the establishment of smart contracts security standards but also profoundly reflected the governance philosophy of "forking is freedom" in the blockchain world.

When the whole world is talking about Bitcoin, do you dare to say that you really understand it? At 3 AM, Bitcoin has risen by another 5%—what gives this "digital code" that lacks central bank endorsement, is intangible and invisible, the power to make Musk endorse it, to attract Wall Street giants rushing to enter, and to drive ordinary people to be both frantic and anxious in front of the candlestick chart? Some say it is a "bubble," but it has risen from $0.003 in 2009 to $120,000 today, increasing 40 million times in 15 years; some curse it as a "scam," but over 100 million people globally hold it, and even central banks are quietly researching how to "embrace" it. Do you think Bitcoin is just a "trading tool for coins"? In fact, it hides the most disruptive logic of this era: - No bank can freeze your assets, no institution can tamper with your transactions, blockchain makes it possible for "money to truly belong to oneself"; - The total supply is only 21 million coins, and it will never be diluted by "infinite printing" like fiat currency, which is the basis for its ability to hedge against inflation; - From dark web transactions to Tesla accepting payments, from an obscure geek toy to a "digital gold" with a market value exceeding $2 trillion, its story resembles a revolution more than any financial product. Of course, its madness is also chilling: a 20% drop in a day is commonplace, those who chase highs stand guard on the mountaintop, and leveraged players face liquidation overnight... But it is precisely this characteristic of "high risk, high reward" that makes countless people both fearful and unable to resist approaching. Now you may be struggling: "Bitcoin is too expensive, can ordinary people still get on board?" "Can it really replace gold, or even fiat currency?" "Have I missed the first 10 years, and is it too late to enter now?" No one can give you a 100% certain answer, but one thing is for sure: this "digital asset" that has been controversial since its inception is no longer just a game for a small circle. It is quietly rewriting the rules of finance, and those who understand it are already quietly positioning themselves. Instead of being anxious while waiting, it is better to spend 10 minutes understanding its underlying logic—after all, the biggest risk in this era may be missing out on those opportunities that truly change the world. #内容挖矿，赚丰厚返佣#

[@burnt_xion: The 'Invisible Champion' of Web3] If there is a "low-key king" in the public chain track, it must be @burnt_xion. It doesn't engage in exaggerated marketing, nor does it play with conceptual hype; it only speaks with real user growth. 800,000 monthly active users, not inflated numbers, not airdrop hunters, but real users using blockchain seamlessly. 4 million EarnOS users prove that the "on-chain experience" can be smoother than Web2. 18 million developers reached, making Web3 development as simple as writing a regular app. This is not a vision of the future, but a reality that is happening. Why is @burnt_xion worth the praise? 1️⃣ The real "invisible blockchain" Users do not need to understand wallets, Gas, or mnemonic phrases. Login = Create Wallet, Interaction = Click Button The experience threshold of Web3 has been completely broken down. 2️⃣ Allow developers to "lie down and earn" Web3 dividends Direct integration with React Native, 0 learning cost User retention rate crushes traditional solutions Web2 developers can seamlessly transition into Web3 without the pain of transformation. 3️⃣ Explosive business implementation capability Collaboration at the level of Uber, BMW, and Amazon Brand customer acquisition cost is 70% lower than Web2 advertising. Proving that blockchain is not a "geek toy," but a business tool. The industry is still in a competition for resources, and @burnt_xion is already reaping the benefits. While other chains are still comparing TPS and boasting about modularization, XION has already jumped out of the quagmire of technical narratives and is directly aiming for large-scale commercial use. User growth? Already running smoothly. Developer ecosystem? Has exploded. Monetization? Verified This is not the "next potential stock," but rather the most undervalued infrastructure king at present. The future of Web3 does not belong to the chain that shouts slogans the loudest, but to the chain that understands users the best. @burnt_xion, that's the top student who submits the exam early. 🚀 #KaitoYap @KaitoAI @burnt_xion @BurntBanksy #Yap $XION

Long Ge has recently increasingly felt that the prediction market might really be the most important asset class of this century. It is not just a trading tool, but more like a consensus engine in the real world—everyone votes with real money, which is much more reliable than just talk. On @base, there is a project called @trylimitless that is doing something: turning the prediction market into a completely decentralized on-chain system where no one can tamper with the results, and no one can ban accounts or delete posts, truly achieving extreme transparency. You can even download the Limitless App directly, and the experience is as smooth as swiping. Long Ge tried it out, and the result was like this: 🛋️ My therapist is trying to help me quit my trading addiction. 📉 During my treatment, I placed three orders. To be honest, it's so smooth. The prediction market is no longer a geek toy, but a new asset layer that everyone can use. @trylimitless @wallchain_xyz #Wallchain

[暗流涌动] Why are top venture capitalists all asking the same question: What is the Testnet Address of TEN? @tenprotocol ——Reshaping Web3 infrastructure with central bank-level encryption standards Core Technology Trio: 🔷 Verifiable TEE Execution Layer × Zero-Knowledge Proof 🔷 Dynamic Sharding Confidential Computing 🔷 Quantum-resistant signature system Five unreplicable advantages 1️⃣ Financial-grade security barrier The world's first on-chain execution environment certified by FIPS 140-3. Each transaction automatically generates a military-grade obfuscation path (tested against over 100,000 MEV bots) Case: A hedge fund settled a $850 million derivatives contract using TEN. 2️⃣ Wall Street Hidden Gems Team ✓ The core team comes from the Goldman Sachs Blockchain Lab SEC compliance group. ✓ Technical Advisor including Intel SGX architecture designer ✓ Terrifying data: Continuous 18-month daily update record on GitHub 3️⃣ Geek Marching Plan The developer wiki has been cited by 37 university blockchain courses. The Testnet has emerged with 24 "impossible triangle" breakthrough solutions. Community Phenomenon: The average duration of technical AMAs is 3.7 hours. 4️⃣ Business Landing Singularity The first privacy public chain that supports the EU Data Act. The on-chain KYC module is being quietly tested by five multinational banks. The daily trading volume of the dark pool protocol has increased by 4000% in half a month. 5️⃣ Dimensionality reduction strike at the protocol layer Modular design allows for the removal of any government censorship module. Transaction delays are two orders of magnitude lower than similar projects. Gas fee volatility long term <0.3% (comparable to traditional clearing systems) Why is it said that TEN is rewriting the rules? • Run DeFi contracts with chip-level security (Patent No.: WO2025/073021) • Cannot find any tokenomics whitepaper on the official website. • Testnet nodes actually include 3 sovereign wealth funds While other projects are still debating TPS, TEN has already achieved: ✓ Each transaction comes with legal compliance certification. ✓ Each dApp is defaulted to obtain ISO27001 certification. ✓ Each upgrade is verified through formal verification. This is not blockchain - this is the genetic recombination of financial infrastructure. #TENProtocol #Web3 #DeFi #CryptoNews

#以太坊十周年# Happy 10th Birthday Ethereum: The Transformation Show from "Geek Toy" to "King of the Blockchain" Which "programmer copy" have you seen that can last ten years without collapsing? Vitalik can. Ethereum ten years ago was a geek's dream, a hacker's sandbox; today, it has become the mother of all chains, the foundation of the DeFi universe, the ancestral grave of NFTs, and a carnival for MEV arbitrageurs. Looking back at 2015, when ETH was just born, there were only cat games and wallet transfers. Now there are clusters of Rollups, L2s coming in waves, DA modules booming, and the entire village participating in Staking. It's like a frail programmer has turned into the "Tesla + AWS + OpenAI" of the blockchain world. On the tenth anniversary, Ethereum didn't throw a birthday party, but instead set up a "10th Anniversary Zone" with Gate Finance offering an annualized return of 7%+. This wave truly resonates with the working class: you dream, it provides the returns. After ten years of building chains, no one asks; in a moment of explosion, the world knows. Ethereum is not a product, but a hardcore growth of decentralized belief.

The practical significance of the Alkanes protocol: built on Bitcoin In the context of a bear market lacking new narratives, the emergence of the Alkanes protocol has injected a shot of adrenaline into the Bitcoin ecosystem. Alkanes is one of the few protocols that truly transforms Bitcoin into a "programmable asset layer." It is built directly on top of the Bitcoin main chain (L1) and endows Bitcoin with platform capabilities similar to smart contracts in the form of a meta-protocol. Compared to previous Bitcoin scaling attempts (such as Ordinals, BRC-20, etc.), Alkanes goes a step further, attempting to address the long-standing scalability and programmability bottlenecks of Bitcoin. The practical significance of the Alkanes protocol lies in empowering Bitcoin with intelligence and assetization. It does not start a new chain from scratch, but rather sows the seeds of idealism on the "extremely conservative soil" of Bitcoin, enabling previously unimaginable application possibilities through technological innovation. Currently, Bitcoin is transforming from "only storage and transfer" to "issuable assets and executable contracts," and Alkanes is undoubtedly one of the pioneers of this transformation. Oyl Labs: The American "Regular Army" that dares to reveal its identity Any protocol aimed at long-term changes to ecological rules is critically dependent on the vision and credibility of its underlying team. Unlike many experimental projects led by anonymous developers, the development team behind Alkanes—Oyl Labs—has chosen a high-profile approach to reveal their identity and operate as a company, demonstrating a commitment to their own technology and legal responsibilities. Clear company entity and financing background: Oyl Labs is registered in the United States (as a formal company Corp), and its core products include Oyl Wallet Bitcoin wallet, Sandshrew Bitcoin RPC service, and Alkanes protocol. In March 2024, Oyl announced the completion of a $3 million Pre-Seed financing round, led by well-known crypto fund Arca, with an impressive lineup of participants—including the family office of former BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes, BRC-20 standard author Domo, UTXO Management fund, Taproot Wizards NFT project team Udi Wertheimer, as well as Kanosei Ventures, FlamingoDAO, and other institutions. Such a luxurious list of investors is quite rare among Bitcoin ecosystem startups, indicating that Oyl has passed formal due diligence and has a legitimate and compliant operating entity. This not only requires the team to be accountable to shareholders and the law but also conveys confidence in the project's long-term viability—they are not an anonymous gang that moves on after a quick hit but are willing to endorse and invest in the stable development of the Alkanes protocol. Open and transparent operation style: The Oyl team is very high-profile and transparent in community interactions. Oyl Wallet itself has gained a certain popularity in the Bitcoin Ordinals circle (the early launched Ordinals NFT collection "Airheads" sparked discussions). Currently, Oyl's official focus has fully shifted to the Alkanes protocol, even directly attaching the name "Alkanes" on their official X (Twitter) account, actively promoting the protocol. One of the protocol's founders, @judoflexchop, frequently speaks out on social media, communicating technical details with the community and openly thanking the Chinese community for their support. This high-profile appearance and frontline communication approach sharply contrasts with many behind-the-scenes developers in the past Bitcoin ecosystem who maintained secrecy. A team that dares to show their identity and embraces community oversight undoubtedly has a higher level of trust. Taking Responsibility and Long-Termism: Oyl Labs clearly operates as a company, which means it must comply with laws and regulations and be accountable to users and investors. This stance is similar to early crypto companies like Coinbase, which traded active compliance and transparent governance for broader trust; it also resembles the role of the Ethereum Foundation in taking public responsibility during Ethereum's early days. As regulators have called for, strengthening information disclosure and accountability for token issuance entities helps the healthy development of the industry. Oyl's approach aligns with this direction: it makes the development of the Alkanes protocol no longer a "black box," but instead traceable and accountable. This trend of "Web3 corporatization" indicates that the crypto industry is gradually transitioning from its early geek-driven, grassroots growth to a more standardized development phase. For investors, the credibility of the team and the ability to deliver continuously are key factors in whether a protocol can weather cycles. The professional team and corporate governance structure behind Oyl Labs undoubtedly add a layer of assurance to the Alkanes protocol. In summary, Oyl Labs dares to invest in the construction of the Bitcoin protocol with a real identity, reflecting a commitment to technological vision and a sense of long-term responsibility. This has earned initial trust for the Alkanes protocol in the fiercely competitive and uncertain Bitcoin ecosystem, and has provided a confidence foundation for outsiders to assess its long-term value. The ecological status and potential returns of Methane In the newly emerging ecosystem of Alkanes, Methane ($METHANE) stands out as the earliest and currently the most well-known native token project. As one of the first meme tokens under the Alkanes protocol, Methane's position in the ecosystem is somewhat similar to that of ORDI in the Ordinals system (the first BRC-20 token) — it is not only the first practical example technically but also attracted popularity due to significant early gains, playing a banner role in mobilizing the community. The first fairly issued token with a broad community base: Methane is the first fair mint token to emerge after the Alkanes protocol. Without any reserves or private placements, community users participated in the public minting. Due to limited supply and enthusiastic subscriptions, The price of Methane skyrocketed after its launch. According to on-chain data from June 2025, Methane's market cap once exceeded $30 million (corresponding to a price of over $0.03 per coin), a more than 30-fold increase compared to its minting price. While early participants saw substantial profits, the number of Methane holding addresses and transaction activity also rose rapidly—its trading volume within just a few days even surpassed the total of the top ten Runes tokens during the same period, making it the most widely held and circulated token within the Alkanes ecosystem. This broad distribution of holdings allowed Methane to truly become a "community-driven" project, free from manipulation by any single whale, with good market liquidity. With its outstanding performance and decentralized distribution, Methane has been recognized as the flagship token of the Alkanes ecosystem, and its popularity continues to grow on social platforms like Twitter. meme Attributes and Ecological Stickiness: Methane is nominally a meme coin (its name is derived from the simplest alkane "methane" in chemistry, correlating with the name Alkanes), imbued with the jesting genes that are favored by the crypto community. However, unlike pure play meme coins, Methane is backed by the Alkanes protocol, which has a hard-core technical background, thus embodying both speculative fervor and long-term narrative potential. Its role in the ecosystem can be likened to that of ORDI in the BRC-20 standard — it is both the initial carrier of technological innovation and serves the function of promoting new narratives and consolidating community consensus. As some commentators have summarized, the commonality between Ordinals and Alkanes lies in: the early spontaneous tutorials, tools, and wallet support fostered strong grassroots participation, creating an atmosphere rich in tutorial creation and FOMO within the community. Methane has also attracted many seasoned Bitcoin players and newcomers to participate in discussions and spread tutorials, forming a highly active community ecosystem. This grassroots foundation is crucial for an emerging protocol: the popularity of Methane has enabled the Alkanes protocol to achieve breakout dissemination through community power, even without comprehensive support from mainstream wallets. Valuation and Return Potential: Measured by market capitalization, Methane is currently at a very low absolute scale. Even at the aforementioned peak, a market cap of approximately $20 million corresponds to the level of tail assets in the crypto market, which is not even a fraction of mainstream public chain ecosystem tokens. This reflects, on one hand, that the Alkanes ecosystem is just beginning and its overall value has not been widely recognized, and on the other hand, it indicates a huge potential for upward movement. Referring to similar cases, Bitcoin's first BRC-20 token ORDI once broke through a market cap of $2 billion. If the Alkanes protocol can attract a large number of users, developers, and capital flow in the future, the demand and value of its ecosystem tokens will rise significantly. Methane, as one of the most recognized tokens in the ecosystem, has the potential to enjoy the dividends of the protocol's growth, achieving dozens or even hundreds of times the value reassessment. Of course, high returns come with high volatility, and high-risk investors need to have sufficient awareness and patience. However, from the perspective of long-term risk-reward ratio, positioning in quality assets like Methane during the undervaluation of the protocol and the narrative vacuum period aligns with the investment philosophy of 'planting seeds in a bear market.' Investment Philosophy: Sowing Value When the Bubble Bursts In the face of the chaos and downturn in the current cryptocurrency market, rational investors should return to their roots and consider what truly drives long-term value. Historical experience has repeatedly proven that real value often emerges from the ruins after a bubble bursts. After each round of cryptocurrency bubbles, prices typically retract by 70-80% from their peak frenzy, but often give rise to new narratives and cycles. Projects that persist in building during the pessimistic trough often become the leaders of the next cycle, while purely speculative products that cater to the previous bubble mostly fade into history. For example, the bear market of 2018-2019 gave rise to the emergence of DeFi, and the lows of 2022-2023 may lay the groundwork for a programmable revolution in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Based on this, the current investment layout should have a "contrarian mindset": when the market is filled with short-term speculation and meme frenzy, more attention should be directed towards the builders who truly create value at the underlying level. As experienced investors say, "Investing is not about making quick money, but about purchasing the right assets that can protect and appreciate capital in the long term." In the crypto space, these assets often correspond to foundational protocols and key infrastructures, as they determine how far the entire ecosystem can go in the future. In this regard, Bitcoin has historically lacked new foundational protocol-level stories due to a lack of contract platforms, and its ecological development has been relatively conservative. However, the emergence of Alkanes has changed this: it gives Bitcoin the opportunity to participate in the race for smart contracts and DeFi. From an investment perspective, this essentially opens a new value window for Bitcoin. Most of those who early supported Alkanes and its token Methane are long-time believers in Bitcoin or deep participants in the Bitcoin NFT/inscription circle. It can be said that the community behind Methane is essentially a collective action of "Bitcoin fundamentalists voting with their feet, supporting Bitcoin to enter a new paradigm." This phenomenon of Bitcoin holders actively embracing innovation is quite rare, indicating that the new narrative is not a castle in the air, but an iteration built on existing value consensus (land). Investors should value such "protocol-level builders" rather than purely speculative traders—the former quietly build bridges during bear markets, while the latter only create bubbles during bull markets. In the long run, only by standing on the side of value creators can one truly share in the dividends of the next cycle. From another perspective, the current craze for memecoin speculation also serves as a cautionary tale: speculative games lacking intrinsic value support will ultimately end in painful losses, and most chasers cannot escape the fate of a "zero-sum game." In contrast, those who focus on the long term and sow value during the quiet winter nights have hope of reaping new sprouts in spring. Methane is worth paying attention to not only because its price has risen over tenfold, but also because it is supported by a solid team like Alkanes and a technological logic that changes the landscape. This makes Methane different from ordinary meme coins; it resembles a value carrier with narrative voting attributes: the community holding Methane is, to some extent, betting on a future where "Bitcoin can become more useful and vibrant." If this narrative comes true, then the rise in Methane's value will be a natural outcome; conversely, even if it faces short-term setbacks, the fundamentals behind it make the downside risk relatively limited. Conclusion When the noise subsides and the tide recedes, what ultimately remains must be the cornerstones built on a value structure. The Alkanes protocol carves a path of smart contracts on the digital gold of Bitcoin, injecting new vitality and life into the ancient network; while the Methane token is the spark that ignites this transformative fire. Although the current crypto industry is mired in structural difficulties, just as winter nurtures the buds of spring, it is often in the most barren times of narrative that the seeds of the next prosperous cycle are sown.

#打榜优质内容#ETH, a decade of honing a sword, the cornerstone of the on-chain world. On July 30, 2025, Ethereum will celebrate its tenth birthday. From the bold idea of a 19-year-old Russian boy to the second largest blockchain network in the world with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, Ethereum has written a magnificent history of technological innovation over the past ten years. Looking back at this milestone of the tenth anniversary, Ethereum has indeed achieved remarkable accomplishments: 1 Technical aspects: Established the most mature smart contract ecosystem. Economic aspect: carrying assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars. In terms of innovation: incubated new application models such as DeFi, NFTs, and DAOs. 2 Community aspect: It has gathered the largest developer and user base, but the challenges are equally obvious: Performance bottleneck: The mainnet processing speed is still limited and heavily relies on Layer2. Increased Competition: New chains like Solana and Polygon have advantages in speed and cost. Complexity of Governance: As the number of participants increases, upgrade decisions become more difficult. Regulatory risk: Changes in global regulatory policies may affect the direction of development. 3 Future Development Roadmap: The Road to the "World Computer" According to the current upgrade plan, Ethereum's focus in the coming years will revolve around five directions: The Merge (completed): Transition from mining to staking The Surge: Achieving Massive Scalability through Sharding and Layer 2 The Verge: Lowering Hardware Requirements for Running Nodes The Purge: Clean up historical data to reduce network burden The Splurge: Various Optimizations and Improvements This roadmap showcases the long-term planning of the Ethereum team, but the execution is quite challenging, requiring a balance between technical feasibility, community consensus, and market demand. In the past decade, Ethereum has transformed from a geek's toy into an institutional treasury. When publicly traded companies include ETH on their balance sheets and when Federal Reserve officials start referencing the Ethereum white paper, the outcome of this social experiment is already clear.

I firmly believe that direction is very important. The decentralized construction direction of eth is not wrong; it has incubated facet, upeths, and in the future, there will be more applications empowering eth. Continuous construction over time will bring you returns. .

Not a geek, but an early investor... Selling is for estate planning. I have held it for 14 years now, and I haven't moved it regardless of how BTC prices have changed. Damn, what an impressive family this must be. But why sell it? Isn't it better to treat Bitcoin as an inheritance? 🥹

Niggas wished death upon me for faking a few cod clips & when an oNRegion geek does the same thing — people try to justify and support him. Double standards much? You’re all gay
