The AI native oracle Cournot Protocol, invested by YZi Labs, has officially integrated with 42, an event market backed by institutions such as Dragonfly and Coinbase Ventures, becoming its official AI native oracle. Cournot will provide continuous monitoring, evidence endorsement assessment, and a transparent analysis workflow driven by Cournot's "reasoning proof" framework.As the event trading platform expands into sectors such as sports, politics, creator economy, and crypto-native events, building a market adjudication mechanism is becoming a core challenge in the infrastructure domain. Unlike traditional data feed oracles, Cournot continuously tracks external dynamics, aggregates multi-source evidence for cross-examination, and analyzes the settlement conditions of various markets, generating an auditable reasoning chain while outputting adjudication results.The recent integration of the prediction market Myriad Markets by Cournot reflects the macro trend of the industry migrating towards "AI-assisted settlement" infrastructure. Cournot's core capabilities will gradually expand from empowering prediction markets to areas such as Agentic Commerce, complex RWA, card games, and parametric insurance. More and more platforms are realizing that complex real-world outcomes are often not adjudicated by a single API or a price feed, which is precisely why they are beginning to seek new types of oracles.

Despite Elon Musk selling a portion of his shares through the IPO, he has not relinquished control over SpaceX. According to the company's prospectus, after the completion of the IPO, Musk will still hold 82.4% of the combined voting power of SpaceX, maintaining absolute dominance over significant company matters.SpaceX employs a dual-class share structure, where Class B shares have 10 votes per share, while Class A shares have only 1 vote per share. After the IPO, Musk will still hold the vast majority of Class B high-vote shares, thereby maintaining overwhelming control in board elections, merger transactions, and other major corporate decisions. Unlike many tech companies that see control gradually dispersed after going public, SpaceX will remain a publicly traded company that is highly controlled by Musk.

Unitas Labs announced that its yield-generating gold asset XGLD officially launched today. It is reported that this asset is backed 1:1 by Tether Gold (XAUt).The official statement indicates that XGLD aims to break the limitations of traditional gold with zero yield. Users can gain exposure to gold prices while continuously earning passive income through Unitas strategies, thereby further integrating gold assets into the DeFi ecosystem.

DeFi infrastructure Unitas Labs announced the launch of the interest-bearing gold asset xGLD, aimed at introducing gold exposure into its product matrix, marking Unitas's expansion from stablecoin infrastructure into more interest-bearing asset domains.It is reported that xGLD is issued on the Binance Smart Chain and is 100% backed by Tether Gold (XAUt), which represents physical gold. Whitelisted users can mint xGLD using USDT, and the protocol will then lend out the XAUt collateral at a loan-to-value ratio of 70% to generate stablecoins, which will be deployed into yield strategies, with the returns distributed to xGLD holders.In terms of operational mechanics, the minting fee for xGLD is 0%, and the redemption fee is 0.1%. Ordinary users can obtain this asset through USDT/xGLD swaps on BSC; during redemption, xGLD must be exchanged for XAUt, with a 7-day cooling period before XAUt can be claimed on Ethereum. In the future, this asset is planned to be further integrated as collateral into lending markets, liquidity pools, and other DeFi ecosystems. Additionally, Unitas plans to collaborate with Accountable and Primus to provide reserve proof dashboards and backup data support to ensure the transparency of the collateral.

Yuga Labs CEO Michael Figge posted on the X platform that the team will make some adjustments to ApeCoin. Yuga Labs and ApeCo previously adopted a parallel coordination model due to unclear regulations, resulting in lower efficiency.As the regulatory environment changes, the team has decided to simplify the structure and eliminate the independent ApeCo leader role. ApeCo leader Cam will depart, and the core technology and BD teams of ApeChain will work directly with Yuga Labs, while other members will also leave, with the transition to be completed by June 5.

Aave Labs has released an ARFC proposal, suggesting the establishment of a standardized technical asset listing framework for Aave V3, V4, and Aave Horizon, setting unified technical requirements for asset listing, parameter expansion, and ongoing monitoring. The framework covers core areas such as ERC20 compatibility, oracles, permission control, minting and burning logic, pause and blacklist mechanisms, upgradability, exchange rates and yield mechanisms, token architecture, cross-chain bridge risks, audit and security history, and external dependencies. This framework does not replace market risk analysis and governance judgment but provides a technical qualification baseline.The framework aims to address "hidden risks" such as unlimited issuance, weak upgrade permissions, inconsistent bridging supply, opaque redemption paths, and reliance on off-chain custody. These issues may directly threaten the protocol's solvency, liquidation systems, and collateral parameter security. The framework particularly emphasizes additional scrutiny for cross-chain assets, yield-bearing assets, and off-chain dependent assets such as RWAs, including bridge structures, off-chain legal arrangements, custody mechanisms, and supply integrity. Assets with significant technical flaws may face reduced borrowing limits, restricted collateral parameters, delayed launches, or even recommendations to deny access to the protocol in the future.

YZi Labs announced the launch of the YZi Labs Creator Program, aiming to build a curated network of creators covering Web3, AI, and cutting-edge technology fields, and to connect with the distribution channels of its over 300 portfolio companies.

According to The Block, Aztec Labs has acquired Obsidion, the company behind the open-source privacy identity verification tool ZKPassport. Its co-founders Michael Elliot and Theo Madzou, along with their team, will join Aztec Labs to continue developing ZKPassport and related applications.Aztec Labs is building the Ethereum privacy layer two network Aztec Network, which raised approximately $60 million worth of ETH through the AZTEC token sale last year, and previously secured about $125 million in venture capital.ZKPassport allows users to read passports or government documents via mobile NFC, generating cryptographic signatures locally for verifying age, nationality, and "real identity" without exposing full privacy. It has been used for ticketing at the Devconnect conference and for compliance identity verification in the Aztec community token sale. Aztec stated that it will continue to keep the ZKPassport protocol and iOS application open source.
