ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on social media that, in my opinion, synchronous atomic composability is overrated.For example, think about some specific cross-L2 things you are doing or envisioning that could be more seamless.For me, the two most important things are:I have coins on Optimism, and I want to pay Bob, but Bob is only on Arbitrum.I have coins on Taiko, and I want to use a dapp on Polygon, so I need to send to Polygon to use that dapp.These are not fancy problems that can be solved just by addressing the synchronization issue. These user experience issues can be resolved in the following ways:(i) Widely adopt ERC-3770, making the chain part of the address, thus making the address once again a self-contained "how you pay me" identifier;(ii) Cross-L2 exchange protocols (like ERC-7683), allowing for programmatic cross-chain sending without getting tangled up in which specific intermediaries to trust and which APIs to connect;(iii) Wallet integration, so that you can simply put the recipient's ERC-3770 address into a text box to complete the cross-chain sending, just like you do for a regular send now.

ChainCatcher news, the open-source AI research organization Nous Research announced on social media the establishment of a subnet on the decentralized AI network project Bittensor (TAO), aiming to provide a new evaluation system for open-source models.Nous Research stated that traditional benchmarking heavily relies on public datasets, which are easily exploited and often lead to scores that appear high but obscure the true capabilities of the models, misleading developers into meaningless score chasing.It is reported that the Cortex subnet is a dynamic source of fresh synthetic data continuously generated by GPT-4, allowing the use of fresh and unpredictable high-quality data to test models and ensuring a fair and accurate consensus on which model most closely reflects GPT-4's performance. This new system aims to celebrate and reward the creators of truly user-needs-satisfying public open-source models through Bittensor's built-in incentive structure.

ChainCatcher news, Polkadot's official article reviews the development status of 2023 and plans to implement asynchronous support, flexible Coretime, and minimal Relay in 2024. In the first quarter of next year, the cross-chain bridge Snowbridge will be deployed between Polkadot and Ethereum.

ChainCatcher news, according to PolkaWorld, Parity developer Robert Klotzner updated the latest progress on parachain consensus in the Polkadot forum.Main points include: the on-demand relay chain functionality, known as coretime, has been launched on Rococo; asynchronous support has been deployed to the Rococo testnet; "Agile Coretime" is expected to be introduced on Coretime by the end of this year; and "Agile Coretime" will be implemented on Kusama/Polkadot in Q1/Q2 of 2024.It is worth mentioning that the deployment of asynchronous support to the Rococo testnet means that parachains can have larger blocks (in terms of execution time), while also allowing them to reduce block time from 12 seconds to 6 seconds. This also reduces latency and doubles throughput.

ChainCatcher news, Layer1 public chain ZetaChain has released the white paper version 1.0. The white paper states that ZetaChain aims to provide a public L1 blockchain with built-in interoperability that can connect with any chain (even non-smart contract chains like Bitcoin). Omnichain smart contracts can access and manage assets and data on the connected network from a single point of logic, hosted on ZetaChain's ZetaEVM (zEVM) module, which supports all EVM functionalities and interactions, as well as calls to contracts on zEVM from external chains.Additionally, developers can build applications on ZetaChain using either synchronous (Omnichain smart contracts) and asynchronous (cross-chain messaging) architectures or a combination of both.

Chain Catcher news, Polkadot co-founder Rob Habermeier announced the latest roadmap for Polkadot on the official blog, which includes the deployment of asynchronous support features on Kusama by the end of the year, followed by deployment on the mainnet. This feature can reduce the block time of parachains to 6 seconds, increase the available space per block by 5-10 times, and allow parachain blocks to be "reused" if they do not enter the relay chain on the first attempt. This update is expected to bring the total TPS capacity of the network to between 100,000 and 1,000,000 without affecting the security guarantees made by the network.In addition, Polkadot plans to launch the parachain threads feature in the first or second quarter of 2023, which allows parachains to temporarily participate in Polkadot's security, launching blockchains without participating in auctions and renting dedicated parachain slots. In mid-October 2022, Weights V2 was put into use, introducing the concept of multidimensional weights, which not only measures execution time but also the amount of state accessed by specific operations. A new governance system is set to be deployed on Kusama in early Q4 of this year, embodying the ability of the Polkadot chain's governance mechanism to self-upgrade. There are plans to launch a dispute reduction feature for the staking module by the end of the year, where validators submitting invalid parachain blocks will have their entire token share slashed.
