Helius CEO mert posted on platform X, stating that decentralization is essentially "coordination without a central authority." If the cost of coordination is close to zero, then it is effectively centralized; if the cost of coordination is infinitely high, then it technically cannot be called decentralized, as the system would not function properly.mert illustrated this point through a thought experiment: suppose there currently exists a highly decentralized blockchain with hundreds of thousands of nodes running from home, distributed mining power, and token supply. He then proposed another extreme hypothesis—if North Korea could transfer funds from wallet A to wallet B within time T, then this would be equivalent to that chain being able to simultaneously detonate nuclear weapons in most countries around the world.Finally, assuming that the blockchain could successfully freeze the funds in wallet A through a fork without causing mass casualties, would this blockchain still be considered decentralized? mert believes that although humanity can achieve coordination due to the shared incentive of "not dying," this does not mean that the chain is "unorganized." Decentralization is still fundamentally "coordination without a central authority."

The "AI × RWA: The Action Economy" themed side event hosted by the Hong Kong AI one-stop family health management platform XKONG has concluded. At the event, XKONG revealed its "decentralized health network" strategy: plans to deploy over 3,500 health service terminals in Hong Kong, creating a triadic health ecosystem consisting of AI diagnostic devices, the XKONG APP, and the AI health assistant KoKo. Each health behavior and interaction by users will be converted into Token rights for the use of platform AI services, forming a closed loop from "user behavior" to "AI consumption." XKONG stated that it will use Hong Kong as a model and enter more than 10 countries and regions globally by 2026.

ChainCatcher reported live that Fan Wenzhong, Executive Director of the Chinese Financial Society and former Chairman of Beijing Financial Holdings Group, delivered a keynote speech at the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival. He pointed out that we are currently at a historical turning point similar to the transition from pawnshops to modern banking, where AI is an advanced productive force in the physical world, and Web3 represents a new type of production relationship in the digital world. The integration of the two will give rise to a Decentralized Agent Economy (DAE).He analyzed that AI Agents have execution capabilities but lack independent identity, accounts, and trust mechanisms, while Web3 addresses these pain points through smart contracts, on-chain identities, and programmable currencies; conversely, AI Agents significantly lower the barriers to using Web3. He proposed that DAE has four major characteristics: agent sovereignty and 24/7 operation, high-frequency atomic exchanges, a collaboration mechanism based on technological trust rather than moral or legal frameworks, and the organizational evolution from companies to DAOs and then to Decentralized AI Companies (DACs).He warned that this transformation will impact the labor market, with white-collar workers being replaced before blue-collar workers. AI quantitative funds have already achieved returns far exceeding those of retail investors, and he suggested that the government proactively advance social security reforms. Finally, he recommended that Hong Kong develop a self-controllable high-performance public chain, pilot limited digital persona registrations, attract Web3+AI composite talents, establish a digital finance industry fund, and promote collaborative innovation between the Hong Kong dollar stablecoin and digital renminbi.

The decentralized AI economic protocol Mindra AI announced the completion of a new round of strategic financing, with participation from LandScape Capital, Harbor Digital Ventures, and Candaq Fintech Group.Mindra AI stated that the funds from this round will primarily be used to accelerate the development of its full-stack four-layer protocol, advancing the construction of the dynamic reasoning routing layer, Agent collaboration ecosystem, AI-Fi (computing power financialization), and the economic value flywheel, creating a decentralized "Intelligence Grid" to fundamentally address issues such as the centralized monopoly of AI reasoning infrastructure, algorithmic black boxes, and ecological fragility.It is reported that Mindra AI is a full-stack decentralized AI economic protocol that breaks the smart hegemony and reshapes AI production relations through dynamic reasoning routing, Agent cross-chain collaboration, and AI-Fi (computing power financialization).

On March 26, the European Central Bank published a working paper studying the governance concentration of four major DeFi protocols: Aave, MakerDAO, Ampleforth, and Uniswap.The paper, based on holding snapshot data from November 2022 and May 2023, found that although governance tokens are distributed across tens of thousands of addresses, the top 100 holders in each protocol control over 80% of the supply, and a large number of governance tokens can be linked to the protocols themselves or centralized and decentralized exchanges, with Binance being the largest identified centralized exchange holder among the four protocols.In terms of voting participation, the paper noted that actual voters are mainly representatives who obtain proxy voting rights from small holders. The top 20 voters in Ampleforth control 96% of the proxy voting rights, the top 10 voters in MakerDAO hold 66%, and the top 18 voters in Uniswap hold 52%. About one-third of the main voters cannot be publicly identified.The paper argues that these findings challenge the assumption of inherent decentralization in DAOs, making it more difficult to determine regulatory anchors under the EU MiCA framework. MiCA currently excludes "fully decentralized" services from its scope. The paper also points out that it is impossible to determine from public data whether the holdings associated with the protocols belong to founders, developers, or treasuries, nor can it be determined whether exchange wallets are voting on behalf of themselves or their clients. The paper represents the authors' views and does not represent the official position of the European Central Bank.

According to a report by Cointelegraph, a staff paper from the European Central Bank points out that the governance tokens of DeFi protocols are highly centralized, with about half or more of the holdings of governance tokens for Aave, MakerDAO, Ampleforth, and Uniswap related to the protocol itself or exchanges.The main voting participants are mostly delegated representatives, and in many cases, these representatives cannot be identified or associated with the token holders. The study questions whether DeFi DAOs have sufficient decentralization to be excluded from the MiCA regulatory framework and provides a reference for policymakers to include relevant entities in regulation.
