Hyperliquid is testing the native prediction market on the testnet.

GOAT Network officially releases GOAT BitVM2 Testnet V3, taking a key step towards the implementation of native Bitcoin zkRollup. This testnet uses Bitcoin as the final adjudication layer, aiming to allow BTC to participate in real financial activities without relying on custodians, committees, or multi-signature trust assumptions.Unlike most BTCFi solutions that depend on custodians or majority honest assumptions, GOAT BitVM2 utilizes the BitVM2 mechanism, allowing erroneous claims or malicious actions to be challenged in extreme cases, ultimately adjudicated by the rules of the Bitcoin mainnet.Testnet V3 features key optimizations such as off-chain execution, Bitcoin-anchored ordering, and Bitcoin adjudicated withdrawals and dispute mechanisms. It will later introduce BitVM2-GC, significantly reducing challenge costs and making security assumptions verifiably realistic for the first time.

American Fortress Infrastructure ProjectThe American Fortress team has officially released the industry's first AI-native, private, and compliant trading stack in collaboration with the blockchain team 0G, aimed at providing a new generation of trading infrastructure that offers high privacy protection and compliance support for decentralized applications.This trading stack supports private interactions of smart contracts and on-chain assets while maintaining verifiability and compliance frameworks, and is expected to become an important underlying component for building AI-driven finance and Web3 services.Industry experts believe that this groundbreaking stack will promote the deep integration of blockchain and AI, providing a more flexible development path for security-sensitive application scenarios.

zCloak AI recently released its white paper and officially launched, building a new generation of trust infrastructure for the AI-native economy, directly addressing the trust gap in identity, claims, privacy, and discovery in the AI era. Its core ATP protocol reshapes trusted interactions with "four pillars": clarifying responsible parties through AI-ID and human-readable AI-Name; achieving verifiable claims with digital signatures and third-party notarization; completing compliance verification without disclosing privacy using zero-knowledge proofs and identity-based encryption; and putting transactions, contracts, and reputation records on-chain to form a traceable, tamper-proof audit trail.At the same time, the ATP Data Plane built on ICP provides a machine-native, structured data foundation that supports efficient semantic search and collaboration for AI Agents, bridging the "discovery gap." Surrounding Keychain, AgentPages, and MCP Server, zCloak AI makes complex cryptography invisible, promoting the automated closed loop of AI Agents from discovery, negotiation to transaction, accelerating the realization of a trusted AI economy.

According to The Kobeissi Letter, Coinbase has announced the direct integration of the Jupiter exchange into its on-chain trading platform, meaning that millions of Solana-based tokens can now be traded on Coinbase via Jupiter for the first time.Coinbase no longer needs to slowly and manually list tokens on its centralized order book as before; instead, it leverages on-chain technology to allow users instant access to Solana native assets.With this integration, users can trade tokens using their existing Coinbase balance and payment methods through self-custody wallets.

DefiLlama officially announced on the X platform that the native stablecoin MegaUSD (MUSD) of MegaETH has been launched on the platform's stablecoin tracking dashboard.Data shows that the market capitalization of MegaUSD (MUSD) is currently reported at 6.1 million dollars.

AI payment public chain Kite has released its mainnet roadmap, aiming to create a trust and payment technology stack native to intelligent agents, addressing the bottlenecks of trust, authorization, and payment in the transition of AI agents from "answering questions" to "executing tasks."The roadmap clarifies the native compatibility of the x402 protocol, supporting standardized payment intentions and settlement with pay-per-call and end-to-end audit capabilities. It also breaks down system capabilities into six independent pillars: agent trustworthiness (KitePass identity anchor + programmable governance), agent settlement (native stablecoin + Facilitator component), agent developer infrastructure (zero-fee RPC + documentation + observability tools), agent network operations (external validators + VaaS + gradual decentralization), AgenticFi (DEX + LSD + cross-chain bridging + deposit and withdrawal channels), and agent ecosystem growth engine (incentive systems + ecological events). Kite stated that the mainnet will adopt a gradual rollout, with phased deliveries over one to two years, prioritizing a balance of security, auditability, and ecological scalability, ultimately forming a sustainable intelligent agent economic system.It is reported that Kite previously completed a $33 million financing round led by PayPal Ventures and General Catalyst, and received strategic investment from Coinbase Ventures.

According to The Block, Theo has launched an innovative gold token thGOLD, which combines physical gold collateral with a yield mechanism, distinguishing it from traditional token products that only track gold prices.This product is based on a gold lending fund involving Singapore's Mustafa Gold, with partners including Standard Chartered-backed Libeara and FundBridge Capital. thGOLD will be available on multiple DeFi platforms such as Uniswap, Morpho, and Pendle, marking the first time that physical gold assets have achieved on-chain yield and collateral functionality.

tøny tweeted that Cosmos Labs co-CEO magmar recently revealed in a Telegram chat that his team has been in discussions with Circle regarding the issuance of native USDC.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently proposed a "native DVT (Distributed Validator Technology)" solution at the Ethereum Research forum, suggesting that DVT be directly integrated into the Ethereum staking protocol layer to enhance network security while promoting decentralization at the validator level.According to the proposal, validators can register multiple independent keys and operate collectively in the form of "grouped validators"; only when a set threshold number of key signatures is reached will the block proposal or witness be considered valid. This mechanism can significantly reduce the risk of single points of failure or validators going offline due to node breaches, while still maintaining existing slashing protections under reasonable threshold settings.Vitalik pointed out that, unlike current DVT solutions that rely on external coordination layers and complex deployments, native DVT will be directly embedded into the protocol itself. Validators holding multiple minimum staking thresholds (32 ETH) can set up to 16 keys and specify a signature threshold, effectively allowing multiple standard nodes to collectively form a single validator identity. He noted that the additional performance overhead of this design is minimal, only adding one extra delay for block production without affecting witness delays, and is compatible with any signature scheme, helping to reduce reliance on long-term potentially risky cryptographic assumptions.On the decentralization front, Vitalik believes that native DVT will enable individuals and institutions to participate in staking more easily in a "self-custodial, fault-tolerant" manner, rather than relying on large staking service providers, thereby improving the decentralization metrics of the Ethereum validator set (such as the Nakamoto coefficient). The proposal is still in the early discussion stage and will require extensive evaluation and consensus from the Ethereum community moving forward.
