Bitcoin mining company TeraWulf announced its Q1 financial report, showing that its high-performance computing (HPC) business has for the first time surpassed Bitcoin mining revenue, marking a critical stage in the company's transformation towards AI and cloud computing infrastructure.The company's total revenue for Q1 was $34 million, roughly flat compared to the same period last year. Among this, HPC leasing revenue reached $21 million, surpassing the less than $13 million from digital asset mining for the first time, becoming the main source of income. The financial report also indicated that the company's net loss widened to $427.6 million, mainly due to the impact of non-cash warrant revaluation. However, CFO Patrick Fleury emphasized that the company is transitioning from "volatile mining revenue" to "stable long-term computing power contract revenue." Currently, TeraWulf has 60 MW of HPC capacity generating revenue at its Lake Mariner data center in New York and plans to continue expanding within the year. At the same time, the company is transforming part of its mining infrastructure into AI/HPC computing resources to support massive computing power demands. This trend is spreading throughout the industry, with Bitcoin mining companies like Riot Platforms also expanding their revenue structure through data centers and AI contracts, gradually transforming into "computing power infrastructure companies."

The decentralized exchange aggregator Jupiter announced the launch of the Token Verification API (VRFD), allowing Launchpads, DEXs, and AI agents to directly integrate verification functions into the token creation process, achieving programmatic verification.The API uses a three-step process: developers create and sign a transaction to burn 1,000 JUP on Solana, then submit the verification request along with the token metadata update. This transaction does not require Gas fees, and developers do not need to hold SOL to pay transaction fees; they only need to hold at least 1,000 JUP in their wallet to submit. Jupiter is positioning VRFD as the standard infrastructure for all projects on Solana.

Cysic officially announced the open-source Graph-First zkVM proof framework Venus. Venus is built on top of ZisK, abandoning the traditional HAL model that treats the proof process as a series of isolated backend functions, and encoding the entire ZK proof process into a global computation graph, decoupling logic from hardware execution.Tests show that Venus improves end-to-end proof time by over 9% compared to the existing ZisK 0.16.1, significantly reduces CPU-GPU synchronization overhead, and is compatible with GPU, FPGA, and even ASIC.Cysic has been listed as an integration partner of Ethproofs and will directly operate as an Ethereum zkEVM node. The ZisK zkVM that Venus is based on uses a custom instruction set and is one of the five major zkVMs explicitly listed as candidates in the official discussion of the Ethereum EIP-8025 upgrade, allowing Cysic to directly enter the core track of the Ethereum L1 proof market.

According to a report by Jinshi Data, "Fed mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos stated that the surge in energy prices has made the already tricky power transition at the Federal Reserve even more difficult.This process was already quite complex. Kevin Walsh's appointment has been stalled due to a Department of Justice investigation and obstruction from Tillis. Additionally, unlike previous Federal Reserve chairs since Volcker, Walsh has committed to a complete break from his predecessor's policies rather than continuing them.Currently, the market expects a 50-50 chance of interest rate hikes and cuts this year, which could put Walsh in a dilemma: on one hand, there is the president who nominated him, and on the other, the committee he is about to lead.In 2008, after a period of aggressive rate cuts, oil prices suddenly surged. At that time, Walsh strongly pointed out that the inflation risk "is the main risk" and suggested that the Fed's next move should be to raise interest rates. However, Trump's expectations were exactly the opposite.

"Fed mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos indicated that the Federal Reserve may be more inclined to remain silent this week. However, predictions force them to outline a path.Two former Fed chairs told me that they hope to avoid predicting interest rate cuts in the short term. Whether current officials will take the same stance has become the central focus of this meeting, as both hawks and doves may cling to their positions by pointing to the same shock.
