$IOTX IoTeX has created a grounded 'Physical AI' ecosystem!
Let's talk about the recent hot topics in the tech world! OpenAI just showcased the smooth interaction of GPT-4o, and Google immediately rolled out AI search to directly generate answers for you—tech giants are competing in brainpower, but in the corner, IoTeX, focused on the Internet of Things, has quietly brewed a major move in 'Physical AI'!
1. The 'Physical AI' ecosystem is officially announced!
◦ Ambitious: It aims to turn hundreds of millions of smart devices worldwide (your wristband, factory sensors, connected cars on the road), even including users like you and me, into AI's 'super senses' and real-time data engines!
◦ Open source! Decentralized! Following an open collaboration route, rejecting data black boxes, built on blockchain—sounds very 'Web3 native'.
2. Where the 'soul' lies: Realms (Smart Domains)
◦ This is the ace of 'Physical AI'! You can understand it as an ever-growing, self-improving AI knowledge brain.
◦ Data feeding: Massive real-world device perception data (such as traffic flow, blood sugar changes), sensor readings (environmental temperature, air), and even human feedback ('Is this prediction accurate?') continuously feeds into this brain—the key is that the data is verifiable on the blockchain!
◦ Intelligent output: This brain isn't just idle; it 'chews' on this data to provide immediately usable intelligent solutions for practical fields such as travel (predicting traffic jams), energy (optimizing the power grid), health (risk warnings), and robotics (optimizing actions)—real-time generation, real-time usability! #İOTX
$APT Aptos Labs and African payment giant Yellow Card have just officially announced: launching instant, zero-fee stablecoin transfer services in 20 African countries! USDT and USDC can be transferred freely, with gas fees completely waived, and settlements instant.
⚡️ How does the powerful combination of Aptos + Yellow Card work?
✅ Zero Gas instant transfers
Users deposit local fiat currency → automatically converted to USDT/USDC → settled instantly through the Aptos network. All gas fees are fully sponsored by partners (Sponsored Transactions), users pay nothing.
✅ Covering the essential market in 20 countries
Including dollar-scarce countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, etc., Yellow Card has obtained Africa's first stablecoin payment license, ensuring full compliance.
✅ Technology surpasses traditional chains
• Aptos's Move language: specifically designed for financial security, preventing hacker tampering with code
• Sub-second settlement: TPS peak of over 290,000, compared to traditional bank cross-border transfers, it’s like 5G against 2G
• Gas fee reimbursement mechanism: businesses can batch reimburse user transaction fees, allowing Web2 novices to enter the space painlessly. #apt
$usual Beat Traditional Banks! Usual's Roadmap Shakes the Scene: 100% Returns + BlackRock Fund Giveaway, Retail Investors Ecstatic?
Usual, this DeFi dark horse, is making big moves again! Just released the roadmap for 2025-2026, directly shouting the slogan “Take Down Traditional Banks” — all idle assets become the community treasury, with 100% returns for depositors! This operation has directly rubbed Tether and Circle to the ground, and even BlackRock has been brought in to work, a definite “Worker's Revolution.” Even more exciting, the roadmap hides a bunch of trump cards: ETH0 self-compounding accounts, BTC0 payments, DAO buyback bombs… What is this, a stablecoin protocol? Clearly, it’s a money printer for retail investors! #usual
67245951152 43149569760 Wormhole brings SOL to the Avalanche chain, what big moves are the three cross-chain giants planning? Wormhole officially announces the native landing of SOL on Avalanche! This is not just a simple cross-chain bridge, but allows Solana's beloved SOL to directly parachute into the Avalanche ecosystem with a full skill set, without missing out on DeFi mining or subnet customization features! This move has set the industry abuzz: the three cross-chain giants (Wormhole + Solana + Avalanche) are aiming to dominate the multi-chain universe?
$LPT Livepeer establishes a foundation, will decentralized video overturn YouTube? The Web3 video space is making big moves again! Livepeer (LPT), which gained attention through 'video mining', has just officially announced the establishment of the Livepeer Foundation—a completely neutral entity dedicated to promoting network growth, decentralized governance, and ecological coordination. This move directly targets 'DAO Autonomy 3.0', and with GrayScale and Tiger Global also betting on this track, it seems traditional streaming media might be in trouble. #Livepeer
$SNX Synthetix makes a big move! The sUSD peg defense battle escalates, can the doubled collateral ratio save the day?
Recently, the crypto world has truly been a scene of magical realism — on one hand, meme coins on the Solana blockchain are soaring, while on the other hand, the established DeFi protocol Synthetix is frantically wrestling with the decoupling crisis of its stablecoin sUSD. Just now, the official announcement has dropped a bombshell: starting June 2, the sUSD deposit ratio for SNX collateralizers will double from 10% to 20%, and those who do not meet the standard will have their debt relief benefits suspended!
Although fixing the peg is a top priority, Synthetix's ambitions go beyond that. The officials have stated that once stability is achieved, they will fully push forward with the operation of the 420 pool and perpetual contracts on the Ethereum mainnet. This move is clearly aimed at competing with dYdX and GMX for the derivatives market share! However, insiders are more concerned: how long can the “debt pool model” of sUSD hold up? After all, MakerDAO's DAI has long been engaging in RWA, and if Synthetix continues to stubbornly focus on pure crypto collateral, it might end up in a twist…
71709323305 41616621882 Synthetix has completely turned the table! Just announced a brand new staking mechanism, directly tossing "the inherited debt management of synthetic assets" into the trash, now even newbies can dive in with their eyes closed! What’s even crazier is that the 10 million SNX reward pool has directly smashed into the DeFi circle, and the opportunists registered overnight to prepare for the rush! Below, we will delve into whether this epic upgrade is truly worthwhile——
------
01 Three major weapons of the new mechanism, can even clumsy players get rich?
① Debt management has vanished
Previously, playing SNX staking required daily monitoring of the collateral ratio, fearing that a single fluctuation would turn you into a "negative asset" due to successive liquidations. Now the official has completely flipped the table: canceling debt position management + abolishing collateral ratio requirements, staking is as brainless as depositing in a money market fund! Finally, families no longer need to monitor the market while taking antihypertensive medication.
② Dual pools crazily distribute 10 million dollars
• Main pool 420: 5 million SNX rewards distributed based on staking duration, starting on May 28 (next week!), with a full 12 months lock-in turning it into an ATM mode.
• sUSD sub-pool: another 5 million SNX exclusively for stablecoin players, but you must be a "time assassin"—the principal is locked for 12 months, and if you run away midway, you will be left with nothing.
③ Exit mechanism plays with your heart
Want to withdraw early? You can! But you must accept a 7-day cooling-off period + the cruel rule of losing all rewards. The official is clearly pushing you to become a "Zen Holder"; will short-term speculators dare to arbitrage?
$JUP Jupiter's new lending protocol LTV skyrockets to 90%, is the Solana ecosystem trying to turn DeFi into Wall Street?
Jupiter is about to break the DeFi ceiling! Yesterday at the Solana Accelerate conference, the brand new lending protocol Jupiter Lend was announced, partnering with the well-established Ethereum protocol Fluid to make waves, directly raising the loan-to-value ratio (LTV) to 90%! Compared to the industry average of 75%, this move is simply handing out nuclear-powered leverage to retail investors!
What's even bolder is the introduction of a dynamic risk isolation mechanism, as if they're afraid you won't liquidate fast enough, right? (manual dog head emoji) Let's dive deep into whether this operation can help Solana break through Aave and Compound in the lending race! #jup
$YGG GG is going crazy! Established a publishing department to wildly release blockchain games, Pudgy Penguins + a 10 million dollar prize pool. The pioneer of play-to-earn YGG suddenly announced the establishment of a game publishing department YGG Play and launched its first blockchain game 'LOL Land' — this move is directly aimed at the 'crypto casino'!
Key points:
• Pudgy Penguins IP collaboration, exclusive first release of Abstract;
• 100,000 pre-registrations directly crashed the server, a prize pool of 10 million YGG tokens;
• Free players vs. paying high rollers, clearly targeting two types of people: laid-back players and high-stakes gamblers! #ygg
$TIA Celestia joins forces with Hyperlane modular blockchain. The top-tier Celestia made a big move early this morning—officially announcing the integration of the cross-chain giant Hyperlane as its 'official channel', directly sending the native token TIA to Ethereum, Solana, Base, and other major chains for a 'full-chain tour'! This move completely shatters 'interoperability'.
Who is Celestia? The OG of the modular track, relying on Data Availability Sampling (DAS) technology to make Rollups collectively shout 'daddy'; what about Hyperlane? The founding father of permissionless interoperability, crafting cross-chain bridges as if it were play. This official announcement effectively equips TIA with 'intercontinental missiles'—from now on, DeFi giants on Ethereum, meme enthusiasts on Solana, and yield farmers on Arbitrum can all one-click buy TIA for staking and mining! #TİA
$WLD World Chain strikes against USDC.e, is the cross-chain earthquake really to welcome the 'compliance tsunami'?
World Chain's move is too aggressive! They just announced that starting from May 22 at 8 AM, they will directly disable the official cross-bridge service between USDC.e on Ethereum and their own chain! This is forcing old users to convert all their assets to native USDC!
I heard this move is paving the way for a major upgrade of USDC, and in a few days they will start native cross-chain transactions on CCTP V2! But next door, Sui just broke records with its TVL, while World Chain is going the opposite direction with 'cross-chain disconnection'. What are they really up to? #wld
$ZK ZKsync is making a big move! Gas fees have been cut directly by 94%, is the Layer2 race about to change? ZKsync's recently announced v2.3 upgrade proposal has raised the standard for Layer2's 'champion' to a whole new dimension—verifying ZK proofs has seen gas fees plummet from 6.8 million to 370,000, a staggering drop of 94%! What does this mean? It's like going from first class on a plane to riding a shared bicycle, and the best part is you don’t even have to pedal!
Even more exciting is that this upgrade has also conveniently included elliptic curve operations (ECAdd, ECMul, ECPairing) directly into the circuits, cutting down the verification cost of ZK proofs to a fraction of the original! Coupled with the newly added ModExp precompiled feature, operations like RSA signatures and zero-knowledge proofs that were once high-barrier are now 'foolproof', ushering in an era of easy profits for developers! #zksync
$PENDLE Pendle joins forces with top institutions to make big moves, will stablecoin yields reach Mars?
Pendle has just officially announced a partnership with the leading DeFi institution in Asia, DeFiance Capital, locking in CP. This duo is set to take stablecoin yields to a quantum level—high returns while remaining as steady as a rock!
DeFiance Capital is not just any ordinary backer—they are the largest DeFi fund in Asia. Founder Arthur Cheong transformed a six-figure capital into a nine-figure empire, a legendary figure in the industry. #pendle
$STX Bitcoin L2 veteran is making moves! Stacks' new roadmap is wildly reshaping the ecosystem, is sBTC going to replace wBTC?
Stacks, which was criticized for being 'as slow as lightning,' has suddenly gone crazy! The new roadmap lays it all out — major economic model overhaul, DeFi crazily distributing funds, block speed surpassing SOL, and sBTC being completely decentralized… Is this an attempt to take advantage of the Bitcoin ETF and halving to flip the BTC Layer2 table? #stx
$SNX Synthetix Unleashes Million Dollar Daily Buyback to Rescue sUSD Peg Crisis Escalates Again: As one of the oldest stablecoins in the DeFi space, sUSD has recently gone through a "roller coaster market"—from a historic decoupling below $0.6 in April, to barely climbing back to $0.8 thanks to a 72% annualized staking pool, and then falling again to $0.93 yesterday (May 17th). This wave of "sit-ups" has completely bewildered the retail investors.
Latest Nuclear Weapon Activated: Just early this morning, Synthetix's official team suddenly dropped a bombshell—daily buybacks of $1 million in real cash for sUSD! This operation can be described as the "brutal aesthetics" in stablecoin market rescue, straightforward and direct, stepping in as a market maker, determined to pull the price back to $1. #snx
$AEVO Aevo makes a big move! The AGP-2 proposal has passed with overwhelming votes, and the monthly on-chain buyback plan is officially restarted!
Family! The Aevo community has just made a big move - the AGP-2 governance proposal has passed with overwhelming votes, and the monthly on-chain token buyback plan is officially restarted! This operation directly reignites the deflationary engine of $AEVO ! #aevo
$LDO Lido updates dual governance mechanism online, will stETH players no longer fear DAO malfeasance?
Dear family! Just now, the leading Lido has released an announcement that the dual governance mechanism is coming! Simply put: in the future, when we encounter controversial DAO proposals, we stETH holders can directly withdraw from the protocol, no longer having to worry about large LDO holders engaging in opaque operations! This move turns 'voting with your feet' into an on-chain native function, truly a 'emergency escape pod' for DeFi! #lido
$METIS Metis unleashes a major upgrade! Andromeda upgrade is coming on May 14th, is the ultimate form of L2 decentralization being born?
Metis has just announced the launch of the Andromeda upgrade on May 14th, this move directly raises the L2 decentralization standard to the ceiling! As the first phase of the ReGenesis plan, this upgrade brings two powerful tools: fraud proof + data on the mainnet, combined with the already legendary decentralized sorter, Metis aims to become the 'decentralization terminator' of the L2 track! #metis
$EIGEN EigenLayer is making big moves! Punished funds will no longer be destroyed, AVS players are ecstatic? The leading EigenLayer has just released an update — the redistribution mechanism is coming! In simple terms: in the future, funds that are confiscated from AVS (Active Verification Service) will no longer be directly destroyed but will be redistributed to ecosystem participants. This operation turns 'punishment' into an 'incentive tool', truly a crypto version of 'turning waste into gold'! #eigen
$OP OP Superchain Lightning Upgrade! Pectra's hardcore features go live in 48 hours, Base/Unichain full-chain carnival!
Optimism has truly taken it to new heights this time - just two days after the Ethereum Pectra mainnet went live, OP Stack has seamlessly integrated its core features into the Superchain through the Isthmus hard fork! This move has propelled ecosystems like Base and the OP mainnet into the stratosphere!
Why is this upgrade considered a game changer?
1. 48-hour rapid synchronization On May 7, Ethereum activated Pectra, and by May 9, OP completed the hard fork adaptation, becoming the first L2 ecosystem to fully embrace Pectra. Compared to other chains that often experience delays of several weeks, OP's technical execution is a groundbreaking achievement!
2. Comprehensive chain coverage without blind spots The upgrade sweeps across Base (Coinbase's beloved child), the OP mainnet, Unichain (the national chain of South Korea), Soneium (the Sony ecosystem chain), and other OP Stack members, which means:
◦ User cross-chain interaction fees drop by another 30% (double the Blob capacity bonus)
◦ Stakers can manage a super node with 2048 ETH at the click of a button (supported by EIP-7251)
◦ Account abstraction makes wallets operate seamlessly like WeChat Pay
3. The ambition of the Superchain This upgrade holds hidden secrets - a combination of decentralized orderers and batch transactions allows Superchain to handle an average of 50 million transactions per day (Coinbase's financial report reveals that Base captures 70% of the traffic), directly challenging Solana! #op
