api

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a communication interface between software applications that allows different systems or programs to interact and exchange data. In the field of blockchain and cryptocurrency, APIs are used to connect exchanges, wallets, blockchain nodes, and other services, providing real-time data access, trade execution, and account management functions. APIs are key tools for developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) and integrate blockchain services, facilitating interoperability and scalability within the ecosystem.

first_img Jensen Huang: neocloud demand is extremely high, but capital is insufficient

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated during an interview with CNBC reporter Arjun Kharpal at the GTC conference in Berlin on Thursday that the demand for neocloud is extremely high and its capabilities are extraordinary, but insufficient working capital is restricting growth. He mentioned that there is huge demand in multiple fields of artificial intelligence, and the capital demand far exceeds supply, a problem that will be resolved.Jensen Huang indicated that electricity is the main constraint on the expansion of artificial intelligence, with European electricity prices being higher. He believes that allocating scarce energy to companies like Nebius and Mistral is crucial for their growth. Investment can enter Europe, but local infrastructure must be established first; if European neocloud can build infrastructure locally, the artificial intelligence ecosystem and economy can start and remain in Europe. He added that the whole of Europe still needs more neocloud.NVIDIA is conducting media activities in Europe this month and has committed nearly $10 billion in investments to local companies, universities, and research institutions. Jensen Huang announced last week during his visit to London that the company has invested over $1 billion in five UK startups and is also investing in several French startups. He stated that NVIDIA is trying to kickstart the artificial intelligence economy in Europe, which has a wealth of technology, industrial experience, and research capabilities, and is ready to participate in and build a local artificial intelligence economy.

Meta Q3 Financial Report: Revenue grew by 26%, meeting expectations, while the billion-dollar legal expenses and AI capital expenditures pose a dual challenge

Meta announced its third-quarter 2026 performance early this morning Beijing time, with revenue of $64.601 billion, a year-on-year increase of 26%, exceeding market consensus expectations (approximately $63.3 to $63.7 billion). Net profit was $9.860 billion, a year-on-year increase of 264%, with a GAAP diluted earnings per share of $3.83.Operating profit decreased by 37% year-on-year to $12.988 billion, and the operating profit margin fell to about 20% (compared to about 40% in the same period last year), mainly due to a legal expense of $9.89 billion. This expense is related to the agreement reached with the attorneys general of various states in the U.S. regarding lawsuits related to youth mental health and social media, with a total payment cap of approximately $18.59 billion. Excluding this expense, operating profit was $22.88 billion, corresponding to an adjusted diluted earnings per share of approximately $7.40.The significant year-on-year growth in net profit was also influenced by the low base effect of the previous year's effective tax rate, which was as high as 87%; the effective tax rate for this quarter was 24%. Ad impressions increased by 10% year-on-year, and the average ad price rose by 14%. Family daily active people were approximately 3.64 billion, a year-on-year increase of 3%. Family of Apps revenue was approximately $64.16 billion, of which ad revenue was about $63.06 billion; Reality Labs revenue was approximately $443 million, with an operating loss of about $4.13 billion.Capital expenditures for the third quarter (including principal payments on finance leases) were approximately $34.9 billion, with free cash flow of negative $2.12 billion, and cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities at the end of the quarter were approximately $82.4 billion. The company expects fourth-quarter revenue to be between $73 billion and $76 billion. The full-year capital expenditure guidance has been narrowed to $135 billion to $145 billion, and the full-year expense guidance has been raised to $175 billion to $179 billion, mainly due to the inclusion of legal expenses; excluding this expense, full-year operating profit is still expected to be higher than in 2025. The company also expects Reality Labs operating losses in 2026 to be approximately $18 to $19 billion, with hopes of narrowing next year.According to Gate market data, possibly influenced by the earnings report information, META's stock price rose by 2.17% in after-hours trading.

X-Agent on-chain data is growing rapidly, x402 payments have surpassed 680,000 transactions

X-Agent's latest Dune data shows that as of October 20, the platform's related on-chain activities have reached 1,268,897 transactions, with the number of Agentic Wallets reaching 39,649. At the same time, a total of 680,285 x402 payments and 233,188 AI Activity Syncs have been generated.From the Dune trend data, X-Agent's on-chain activity saw significant growth in October, with Transactions rapidly increasing in volume for the month, and x402 Payments also experiencing notable growth recently. Compared to traditional AI products that mainly measure user numbers, conversation volume, and model invocation counts, what is more noteworthy in this data set is that AI Agents within the X-Agent ecosystem are gradually generating real, verifiable on-chain economic activities.Through the infrastructure of Agentic Wallet, x402 payments, and AI Activity Sync, Agents are evolving from mere information exchange tools to economic participants capable of executing tasks, using wallets, initiating payments, and generating on-chain records. This further validates the path of the Agent Economy that X-Agent is promoting: Build → Act → Pay → Verify. From "creating AI Agents" to "enabling Agents to truly execute and transact," X-Agent is attempting to connect Agent capabilities, on-chain execution, and payment settlement into a complete closed loop.As the scale of x402 payments and Agentic Wallet continues to grow, the Agent Economy is gradually transforming from a concept into real network activities that can be directly observed and measured by on-chain data.
