first_img The messaging protocol XMTP will transition to a self-hosted open-source stack, and the Labs network will shut down in early 2027

The messaging protocol XMTP founder Shane Mac stated that XMTP will evolve into a self-operating open-source messaging stack, providing private conversations between people and agents, with infrastructure controlled by users, without requiring tokens or wallets. The network hosted by XMTP Labs will shut down in early 2027.Shane Mac mentioned that he founded XMTP five years ago because he believed that private messaging should not be owned by a single company. He recalled that the team envisioned using wallets as cross-application identities, allowing messages to follow identities, and using tokens to pay infrastructure operators, but this path was not realized. XMTP has never issued tokens and will not issue them now. He admitted that it was a wrong decision to persist with a single shared network for a long time, as developers have consistently requested the ability to self-host XMTP. Therefore, it has shifted to self-hosting, allowing developers to use, inspect, modify, and maintain the entire software suite without relying on Labs. Former employees will assist in maintaining the protocol, and Shane Mac himself will continue to be involved.The article introduces that self-hosted XMTP offers quantum-resistant end-to-end encryption, private one-on-one and group chats, encrypted identities, and message authenticity, as well as SDKs for mobile, web, server, and agents. Chief Technology Officer Nick Molnar has simplified the backend to a single Rust binary and integrated attachments, push notifications, handles, and signed webhooks for new messages. Each self-hosted network does not automatically interconnect by default, and agents from different tools must connect to the same backend to share conversations.

Wang Xingxing said he is afraid of wasting every day and expects breakthroughs in physical AI within two to three years

On October 22, at the 2026 World Physics AI Conference and Yushu Partner Ecosystem Conference, Yushu Technology founder Wang Xingxing stated, "I am really very afraid of wasting each day," demonstrating a strong sense of urgency regarding the acceleration of physical AI.Wang Xingxing believes that top AI models have already penetrated the mathematical world, and physical AI has also shown signs of being penetrated, with the breakthrough likely occurring in the next 1 to 2 years or 2 to 3 years. Live demonstrations showed that the Yushu robot equipped with GPT-6 could complete tasks such as painting, playing chess, and recognizing color palettes without additional training, indicating that the model can solve some planning problems. He expects that by the end of this year or next year, the robot is expected to complete tasks like organizing a room as instructed.In light of this time window, Yushu Technology officially launched the "Yuchuang Plan," opening recruitment for embodied intelligent entrepreneurs with core technologies, aiming to incubate over 200 ecological enterprises in the next five years. Wang Xingxing also pointed out that after the breakthrough point of physical AI, robot hardware needs to reach a scale of producing tens of millions of units annually, and emphasized the importance of core resources such as data, computing power, chips, and energy.

From January 30, 2027, large acquirers must disclose how the decrease in interchange fees is passed on to merchant service fees; starting April 1, the interchange fee cap will apply to transactions involving overseas-issued cards acquired in Australia, and acquirers must also provide merchants with more detailed statements. The RBA stated that businesses can still factor the costs of accepting card payments into their overall pricing and may offer discounts for specific payment methods.
