Recently, the Aster team provided feedback to RootData regarding some adjustments needed in the previously released token unlock data. After receiving the feedback, RootData verified the information against Aster's official documentation and several similar token unlock data platforms, finding no significant discrepancies between the previously recorded information and the publicly available documents at that time.Subsequently, RootData communicated further with the Aster official team and updated the on-site Aster token unlock data based on the latest confirmed information from the project team. Currently, some third-party token unlock data platforms have not yet synchronized this official document adjustment, making RootData one of the earlier platforms to complete the relevant data updates.This adjustment mainly involves two categories: Airdrop and Ecosystem & Community, with the specific changes as follows:1. Airdrop Category Adjustment: Split into "Founder's Airdrop" and "Governance Airdrop"Based on the latest confirmed information from Aster, RootData has re-split the original airdrop category into "Founder's Airdrop" and "Governance Airdrop."The previous official document indicated that after the Aster TGE, eligible participants would immediately receive 8.8% of the total allocation, with the remaining tokens in this category gradually released over the next 80 months, with specific release times potentially adjusted based on protocol governance.The latest official document adjustment states that the remaining ASTER tokens in this category will be reserved for airdrops, but the protocol governance body may adjust the relevant arrangements in the future.Therefore, RootData will no longer track the unlock data for the governance airdrop portion according to a fixed release cycle, and will instead dynamically update based on Aster's official announcements and governance decisions.2. Ecosystem & Community Category Adjustment: Split into Ecosystem & Community 1 and Ecosystem & Community 2Previously, the Aster Ecosystem & Community category (excluding the APX to ASTER conversion part) adopted a linear release model, planning to gradually unlock over 20 months. This model has been executed for 4 months (from October 2025 to January 2026), after which it will be adjusted to a reward distribution model based on staking mechanisms.According to Aster's current staking mechanism, the longer the user locks their tokens, the higher the loyalty reward APY they can receive. Since this allocation mechanism has shifted from a fixed linear release to a staking incentive model, RootData will no longer track the fixed unlock cycle for Ecosystem & Community 2 as originally planned, and will adjust based on the latest official announcements.It is reported that Aster completed its token TGE on September 17, 2025. Since its launch, Aster has made multiple adjustments to its token economic model, including extending the team token lock-up period by 12 months, adjusting the release method for ecosystem and community tokens, and redefining the governance arrangements for the remaining airdrop tokens.RootData stated that adjustments to the token economic model as the project develops and governance needs arise are common in the industry; the key is whether the project team can disclose relevant changes in a timely and transparent manner. RootData also encourages project teams to proactively submit token unlock plans and change information to help the community and users better understand token supply and release situations.

On October 13, Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated on social media platform X: Once China masters the manufacturing methods for a certain type of product, its ability to scale production often exceeds that of the rest of the world combined. He cited lithium batteries and solar energy as examples, claiming that China has demonstrated this characteristic in these fields. This statement was in response to a discussion about memory manufacturer Changxin Storage.The poster Melvin believes that Changxin is already a competitor that cannot be ignored, but whether new technology can stably achieve large-scale mass production still depends on yield, cost, and reliability. He also noted that memory demand is still growing, and an increase in production capacity does not mean that the market will immediately experience oversupply. Regarding memory, Musk mentioned that about three years ago, memory was still a low-margin commodity, with LPDDR5 and LPDDR6 designed according to common standards, and China seems to be rapidly solving related technical issues.Musk also pointed out that the new generation of high-bandwidth memory architecture is more difficult to tackle. Another challenge is placing a layer of SRAM beneath the logic chip and stacking RAM in three dimensions above it while addressing the heat dissipation issues of the logic chip. Phoenix Technology cited public information stating that on September 7, Changxin Storage announced that LPDDR6 has entered mass production and was first commercially used in the Xiaomi 18 Fold, with a capacity of 16 GB, compliant with JEDEC's LPDDR6 standard. Subsequently, Changxin announced that its fifth-generation DRAM process platform has achieved mass production and launched two LPDDR5X products based on this platform, aimed at smartphones and portable consumer electronics, with a single bare chip capacity increased by 50% compared to the previous generation of similar products.

On-chain analyst Murphy stated that as of October 11, the current cycle's new Bitcoin buyers (First Buyers, FB) have accumulated 4.27 million coins, returning to levels seen in mid-August 2023. Compared to before the market started in August this year, new buyers have increased their holdings by approximately 400,000 BTC over the past two months, accounting for about 2% of the total circulation, with an average monthly increase of about 200,000 coins.In contrast, from January to August 2023, new buyers accumulated approximately 340,000 BTC over about seven months. Murphy pointed out that the current BTC price is about 2.6 times that of the same period in 2023, indicating that the capital required for new buyers to increase their holdings this round is significantly higher than in the previous cycle, reflecting stronger new demand. Additionally, the market in September saw the emergence of new momentum buyers (Momentum Buyers, MB) for the first time since January this year, which are investors who continue to increase their positions above their own cost basis. Murphy believes that the appearance of such buyers helps to enhance market confidence and drive upward trends, whereas significant increases in momentum buyers are usually rare during bear market rebounds.

Meta Platforms has released the artificial intelligence model Muse Wonder, stating that after 14 months of intensive development, the new Muse model has reached the forefront of AI and represents a significant leap forward from its predecessor. It is claimed that this model possesses cutting-edge capabilities and can compete with leading models such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude in scenarios like code writing and handling financial or legal issues.Developers can currently access Muse Wonder through the Meta model API and Muse Code interface, and the model will soon provide underlying computational support for the subscription version of Meta's personal AI assistant, Muse. According to related reports from Financial Associated Press, the Muse Wonder series leads competitors in certain agent and software engineering evaluations. Zuckerberg expects that the development cycle for larger models will be shortened in the future and plans to achieve a return on AI investment through subscriptions, revenue sharing from commercial services, APIs, and enterprise services.
