Vitalik posted on the X platform, stating that AI 2040 and its critics have incompatible worldviews regarding the speed and significance of AI progress. AI 2040 believes that unless strong measures are taken to completely prevent it, some form of superintelligence will emerge in various scenarios by 2040; critics argue that AI 2040 underestimates human coordination capabilities and threatens freedom, but do not view ASI itself as a risk of power concentration.He believes that if he were convinced that the current form of AI is just an ordinary technology, he would be closer to the critics' camp; if he were convinced that superintelligence would inevitably arrive by 2030, he would be closer to the AI 2040 camp. At the same time, due to significant uncertainty, he remains open to the idea of slowing down or pausing, and feels uncomfortable with the stance proposed by some large AI companies and intellectuals that "open source is detrimental, and the ideal outcome is to maintain global control dominance."Vitalik stated that an important reason he supports the d/acc platform is that directions such as formal verification, cryptography, secure and open hardware, pandemic resilience, defensive biotechnology, food and basic resource security, public cognitive systems, and non-concentrated power physical security are worth promoting under both worldviews. He also mentioned that the 2040 plan has increasingly supported open source and incorporated the idea of "mutual assured destruction of computational power," which is an improvement compared to allowing a few participants to selectively deprive their identified subjects of rights.There is no way to avoid trade-offs regarding whether to slow down or pause, and Vitalik believes that trigger conditions can be preset, allowing for a more open attitude towards slowing down or pausing when sufficient conditions are met within a specific timeframe.He also stated that if he were Elon Musk or Zuck, he would significantly transform Twitter into a platform that helps identify and facilitate such large win-win agreements, encouraging more people to participate in discussions, but he thinks this might also be naive. Currently, he does not see any non-naive ASI transition response plans, so he tends to show some tolerance towards those who are trying.

According to official news, Uniswap Labs has released a temperature check proposal, suggesting the activation of protocol fees in the v4 pool. This proposal follows the rapid governance process previously approved by UNIfication and will directly enter a five-day Snapshot voting period, followed by on-chain voting.Due to the Hook architecture of v4 making fee settings more complex than v2/v3, the proposal has designed the V4 Fee Controller system, which includes two core contracts: V4FeePolicy calculates the fees for any pool based on governance rules, and V4FeeAdapter is responsible for executing governance overrides and collecting fees into TokenJar. Fees are calculated hierarchically based on the family of the pool: first checking the specific trading pair rate set by governance, then the family default rate, and finally the global default rate.This proposal aims to activate fees for three types of pool families across 11 chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and BNB Chain: static rate pools without Hooks, CCA pools after continuous liquidation auctions, and aggregator Hook pools. The rates for aggregator Hook pools are adjusted by a 25x multiplier, with a default of 10 bp for non-Base chains (3 bp for stablecoin pairs) and a default of 3 bp for Base chains (1 bp for stablecoin pairs). All fees will flow into each chain's TokenJar, and the amount of UNI burned on L2 and Alt-L1 will be cross-chain bridged to the Ethereum mainnet and sent to the 0xdead address.The Snapshot voting window is from July 7 to July 12, and on-chain voting will start during the week of July 13. Since GovernorBravo limits each proposal to 10 actions, two on-chain votes will be submitted in parallel to cover all chains.

This year, a giant whale has achieved a cumulative profit of 6,389 ETH (approximately 11.34 million USD) through two ETH/BTC exchange rate trades, and today it initiated the third ETH/BTC exchange rate trade of the year, selling 4,695 ETH at an exchange rate of 0.0285, exchanging for 133.8 BTC.This giant whale bets that the ETH/BTC exchange rate will weaken subsequently, meaning that ETH will rise less compared to BTC or fall more.

After Marc Zeller, the founder of the Aave-Chan Initiative (ACI) and a contributor to Aave's ecosystem governance, announced the end of the ACI project, community users inquired whether he still held AAVE tokens or had sold them. In response, Marc Zeller stated that he had liquidated his AAVE holdings when he resigned from Chaos Labs (he may still hold a very small amount of "dust-level" tokens).Previously, Marc Zeller announced that the governance work of ACI, which lasted for more than three years, had concluded, and a new project is expected to be announced soon. During his participation in governance, the Aave protocol transformed from an annual deficit of about $35 million to an annual revenue of approximately $150 million, while the AAVE token increased about ninefold during the same period.

According to Marc Zeller, founder of the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI), the Aave DAO commissioned service provider ACI has officially ceased operations today, marking the end of this community-led governance platform after more than three years of operation.Reflecting on this, Marc Zeller noted that ACI was established during a low point for DeFi, with Aave's TVL shrinking to a quarter of its peak, and the protocol losing about $35 million annually. During its tenure, ACI helped Aave turn around its operational status to an annual revenue of $150 million, drove the AAVE price up by 9 times, and established a mature DAO governance and service network.Marc stated that the end of ACI is not the end of the journey, and new project plans will be announced soon.

INFINIT recently responded to the abnormal price fluctuations of the IN token, stating that the platform and the token have not been hacked or attacked, and all funds are secure. The project team tracked and found that a certain wallet transferred tokens from Bitget and Gate to a cross-chain address, using LayerZero to move from Ethereum to BNB Chain. Approximately 9 million tokens were destroyed on the Ethereum side, and 3 minutes later, an equivalent amount of tokens was minted on the BNB Chain side. Subsequently, the wallet conducted multiple sell transactions on Pancakeswap. INFINIT stated that this is a market integrity issue rather than a platform security issue, and the team has cooperated with relevant exchanges to pursue accountability.Coingecko data shows that the price of the IN token has dropped by 43.6% in the last 24 hours, currently reported at $0.06669.
