During a live AMA interview hosted by CoinMarketCap, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han discussed the development direction of digital finance, the product positioning of Gate Money, and the accelerated integration of digital assets with traditional finance.Dr. Han stated, "The future of digital finance lies not only in providing more asset choices but also in connecting assets, funds, and payments, allowing users to manage assets, transfer funds, and meet daily payment needs more conveniently within one ecosystem." Upholding the core concept of "One Gate, Everything Money," Gate Money integrates services such as digital assets, fiat currency, stocks, ETFs, gold, bank accounts, payments, and asset management into a single account, covering scenarios like asset holding, receiving payments, transferring, exchanging, paying, and earning. Users in eligible regions can also open an e-banking account with the same name and use the Gate Card for online and offline consumption with fiat or digital assets, further bridging asset allocation and daily payment scenarios.Regarding the accelerated integration of digital assets and traditional finance, Dr. Han also explored the roles of stablecoins and asset tokenization in cross-border capital flow, on-chain settlement, and financial service innovation. As user demands extend from single transactions to investment management, fund transfers, and daily consumption scenarios, Gate will continue to expand the asset categories, payment methods, and service capabilities of Gate Money, enriching the application of digital assets in diverse financial scenarios and providing users with a more integrated financial service experience.

Sui co-founder and Chief Product Officer Adeniyi Abiodun wrote in a review: Several years ago, when the team began to build an L1, the venture capital firms and institutions they contacted suggested that they fork EVM to avoid the difficulties of self-development and to quickly launch another version of a similar product before continuing to advance.Abiodun stated that the team rejected this suggestion because they had a clear judgment on the direction of industry development and believed that replicating a flawed design was not advisable. Therefore, Sui was built from scratch, taking on the corresponding risks and time costs. He mentioned that the current trend aligns with the team's initial judgment, and among the batch of application scenarios people hope to build today, Sui is the only viable option, making the next few years very interesting.

This is the first production-ready version of Safenet that can generate fees, previously approved for funding and launch by SafeDAO through the SEP 56 proposal. The network separates transaction verification from transaction authorization, providing transaction security verification for smart accounts like Safe multi-signature wallets.Safenet consists of three types of roles: Sentinel, responsible for checking transactions and staking USDC bonds, can earn verification fees paid in USDC; Validator, who secures the proof layer by staking SAFE, can earn SAFE rewards; Delegator can delegate SAFE to Validators and participate in staking rewards. Safenet Guard is responsible for executing proof results on-chain, with relevant protocol parameters governed by SafeDAO.The current Sentinel pool includes OpenCover, IntentGuard, BlockSec, and Candide, while the Validator pool includes Gnosis, Greenfield, Core Contributors, and Safe Labs. Safenet will subsequently integrate transaction verification into Safe Wallet, displaying verification results during the transaction review process and supporting access for other wallets built on Safe smart accounts.
