Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), posted on X that the combination of OpenClaw and Pi is one of the top ten software breakthroughs of all time.It is reported that Pi (full name Pi Coding Agent) is a minimalist AI coding agent developed by Mario Zechner (@badlogicgames) at the end of 2025, and it is the core "kernel" of OpenClaw. It provides only four tools for LLM (language learners) — reading, writing, editing, and bash — along with a concise prompt for iteratively building, running, and fixing code autonomously. There are no bloated features.Peter Steinberger, founder of OpenClaw, retweeted the post.

The Ethereum Foundation has announced the launch of Project Odin, aimed at helping key infrastructure teams establish diverse and sustainable funding sources through a structured support mechanism, reducing reliance on a single funding channel.Project Odin is initiated by ecosystem participants and is positioned as a 12-month structured support program. Its core mechanism is to equip selected teams with embedded strategic advisors who will engage early in sustainable planning, covering funding pathway research, business model validation, partnership expansion, and execution. This will help teams establish at least one repeatable "revenue-like" funding source, such as support contracts, service agreements, or training collaborations. It is reported that the first pilot team for this program is the Foundation for Verified Software.

OpenAI today announced the launch of GPT-5.2-Codex, based on GPT-5.2.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that the Ethereum blockchain needs to better explain its features to users in order to achieve true "trustlessness," which is a common challenge faced by all blockchain protocols. "Trustlessness" means that the protocol can operate without developer oversight, automatically executing rules solely through code. However, if the protocol is too complex for only a few people to participate in its operation, then in practice, others still have to trust that group.Ethereum itself already possesses trustless characteristics, as transactions and smart contracts are executed by open-source code and a decentralized network of validators. Buterin pointed out in a tweet on X on Wednesday that the network still needs to enhance user understanding. "An important but underrated form of trustlessness is increasing the number of people who can truly understand the entire protocol from top to bottom. Ethereum needs to do better in this regard by simplifying the protocol." When asked about the feasibility of this idea in balancing technical features with user understanding, Buterin stated, "We should be willing to reduce some features at times."

ChainCatcher message, odin.fun co-founder responds on platform X to the previous theft news:Today, we discovered a significant vulnerability in our latest liquidity AMM (Automated Market Maker) update. Some malicious users (mainly associated with criminal gangs within China) exploited this vulnerability to steal a large amount of BTC from the platform.We are still assessing the exact amount of BTC lost, but as of now, our company's funds are insufficient to cover the losses. The remaining funds on the platform are secure.We have hired a top security/audit team to conduct a comprehensive audit of our code, which may take a week. Once the audit is completed, ODIN•FUN will resume operations.Legally, we have contacted U.S. law enforcement and are working with OKX and Coin Security, who have also reached out to relevant authorities in China. Their quick response has surprised us. We have identified several groups profiting from this vulnerability and will pursue them in China and file lawsuits domestically (especially considering the amount of evidence we have, including their wallet activities).For those holding the stolen BTC:You have a very short time to return the funds, or it will be too late. This is not a negotiation. You have one chance to mitigate the consequences and avoid prosecution. Most of you have already been identified, and we will definitely invest as much time and resources as possible to recover the stolen funds.We are formulating specific plans to compensate all affected users. We have some ideas, and if you like odin.fun, we believe you will appreciate what we are doing. Specific details will be announced immediately after they are finalized.You can trust that we will do everything we can to ensure everyone's safety. We are here to stay and do not intend to leave. This incident will not erase the friendship we have built together, nor will it hinder our progress.We believe the future of Bitcoin DeFi is bright, and we hope you will join us in moving forward. The power of words is limited; we will win back your trust through actions.Despite the setbacks, odin.fun's growth rate still surpasses any other Bitcoin DeFi platform.
