The Solana development company Anza announced that it has officially recommended the mainnet validators upgrade to Agave 4. This upgrade introduces XDP for Turbine, QUIC-only TPU data access, a faster replay stage, and several SIMD features that will be activated during this cycle.Anza stated that production environment tests on large mainnet validators showed that XDP has reduced the Turbine retransmission delay from about 600 ms to approximately 0.8 ms, providing critical performance headroom for Solana's push towards 100 million CU blocks. Additionally, Agave 4 has completely removed UDP transaction access, making QUIC the only transaction submission method; PoH entry verification and Ed25519 signature verification have also been removed from the critical path and processed asynchronously to enhance replay stage performance.This round of upgrades will also gradually enable several SIMD features, including p-token (an SPL Token alternative that can free up about 13% of block capacity), Stake Program v5, SBPFv3 support, pre-funded account creation, and BLS12-381 syscall, among others.

According to Cointelegraph, a court in Texas, USA, dismissed a lawsuit filed by crypto developer Michael Lewellen.

According to a report by Cointelegraph, the latest working paper released by the European Central Bank on Tuesday shows that the growth of stablecoin usage is siphoning off funds from bank deposits, weakening the transmission of monetary policy to loans.The research indicates that the rising interest in stablecoins is associated with a significant decline in retail bank deposits and a decrease in corporate loans. When deposits decrease, banks may be forced to rely more on wholesale or market financing, which is typically more expensive and unstable. The European Central Bank points out that the extent of stablecoins' interference with the transmission channels of monetary policy depends on their adoption scale, design features, and regulatory approach. In particular, stablecoins denominated in foreign currencies may further weaken the link between domestic monetary policy and bank loans.

ChainCatcher news, according to the official announcement, MindNetwork has officially integrated Circle's CCTP cross-chain protocol. By combining its FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) cross-chain bridge with Chainlink's CCIP cross-chain interoperability protocol, it enables compliant privacy-protected native USDC cross-chain transfers.As the first introduction of FHE technology in CCTP, developers can achieve address and specific transaction privacy encryption on chains such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Polygon without changing Circle's infrastructure or existing deployments, thus providing new use cases for fields like DeFi and RWA.This feature is primarily suitable for institutional-level scenarios such as asset management, institutional settlement, and cross-chain fund scheduling, while also supporting the generation of ZK zero-knowledge proofs to meet compliance and auditing needs. An SDK has been opened, allowing developers to seamlessly integrate it into wallets, dApps, or cross-chain bridge applications for plug-and-play functionality.Mind Network is pioneering a Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) infrastructure resistant to quantum attacks, driving a fully encrypted internet through secure data and AI computation. Collaborating with industry leaders, it promotes the development of the zero-trust internet protocol HTTPZ, setting new standards for trusted AI and encrypted data processing in the Web3 and AI ecosystems.
