Brothers, go to the ALPHA POINTS section, and you will see this item. It is a new feature; enter the expanded area of the search functions, and you will find it. The new calculation method is as follows: calculated by day Method 1: based on hold token or USD on the exchange or wallet: 100u -> 999u = 1 point 1000u to 9999u = 2 points 10000u to 99999u = 3 points 100000u and above = 4 points Method 2: calculate the amount of purchases on alpha. Only purchases are counted, okay. This will be calculated based on a multiplier. Increasing with each time 2u = 1 point 4u = 2 points 8u = 3 points 16u = 4 points ... In my opinion, one should purchase between 130u and 260u. You guys should study to accumulate points in preparation for the upcoming IDO events
Core Ethereum developers are considering quadrupling the layer 1 gas limit as a key feature for the next hard fork after Pectra, called Fusaka.
The developers are proposing to test increasing Ethereum's gas limit to 150 million with the Fusaka hard fork, according to Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 9678, introduced on April 23 by Sophia Gold, a developer on the protocol support team at the Ethereum Foundation.
During the recent All Core Devs Execution (ACDE) meeting, there were discussions to make the gas limit increase a "core feature" of Fusaka, core Ethereum developer Tim Beiko said in the meeting summary on April 24.
"To align with client defaults and prioritize this, we have drafted an EIP. It is somewhat unusual, but not without precedent (see EIP-7840). We plan to merge it early next week and officially SFI it at the next ACDE," Beiko said.
"As we continue this work, we hope to identify the changes needed in the protocol to support a higher gas limit. This implies adding more EIPs to Fusaka, although the scope of the fork is ultimately limited."

Galaxy Digital, the cryptocurrency investment firm founded by Mike Novogratz, has begun to shift its investment focus from Ethereum to Solana. This move reflects the growing interest in Solana, a blockchain platform known for its fast transaction speeds and low fees.
Solana has attracted attention due to its scalability and high performance, prompting many investors and blockchain projects to consider moving to this platform. Galaxy Digital sees potential in supporting projects built on Solana, particularly in the fields of decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFT).
This shift in investment also reflects the trend of diversifying the portfolios of major companies in the cryptocurrency industry, aiming to capitalize on new opportunities and mitigate risks associated with reliance on a single platform. $BTC

Canada launches Solana spot ETF fund with staking on April 16 According to CFN, Canada will become the first country in the world to launch spot Solana (SOL) ETFs with integrated staking features on April 16. This is an important step in bridging traditional finance and blockchain technology.
Details about the new Solana ETF fund
These ETF funds will allow investors to gain direct exposure to Solana (SOL) without having to manage wallets or lock assets themselves. Notably, the integrated staking feature will provide passive yields for investors, something that current Bitcoin or Ethereum ETFs do not offer.
Implications for the market
The approval of the Solana spot ETF with staking in Canada not only expands investment options for the public but also reflects the increasing acceptance of digital assets by regulatory authorities. This move may encourage other countries to consider similar investment products in the future. #AirdropStepByStep
Fed Governor Waller sees tariff-induced inflation as 'temporary'
Federal Reserve (Fed) Governor Christopher Waller said on Monday that he expects the impact of the tariffs proposed by former President Donald Trump on prices to be 'temporary', using a term that previously led to criticism of the central bank during a prior inflationary period. "I can hear the boos of dissent that this is certainly a mistake, considering what happened in 2021 and 2022. But just because it didn't work once doesn't mean you shouldn't think that way again," Waller said in a policy speech in St. Louis, where he compared his view on inflation to the controversial football tactic called 'tush push.'
President Donald Trump announced that he will unveil new tariffs on imported semiconductors this week. This is seen as the next step in a trade policy aimed at protecting the domestic industry and reducing dependence on foreign supply. According to Trump, the tariffs will be designed to encourage domestic semiconductor production and help American businesses compete better in the global market.
However, he also emphasized that there will be flexibility for some companies in the industry. This could mean that certain businesses may be exempt or benefit from lower tariffs if they meet specific conditions, such as having plans to invest in manufacturing in the U.S. or playing a crucial role in the strategic technology supply chain.
This announcement comes amid rising trade tensions and technological competition between the U.S. and other countries, particularly China. Observers note that Trump's decision will have a significant impact on the global semiconductor industry #AẢidropFinderGuide
