Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recommended the Interfold project, stating, "More people should learn about Interfold, which is a general implementation of the MACI (Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure) concept that I have been advocating for nearly a decade. This project is essentially a privacy protocol optimized for scenarios such as voting and secret auctions, allowing more people to pay attention to and understand this technological advancement."Vitalik also mentioned that the core mechanisms of Interfold include generating threshold encryption keys, users submitting votes on-chain with ZKP qualifications, and performing arbitrary computations followed by threshold decryption in fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), which can achieve unconditional voter anonymity, Ethereum-level censorship resistance, and ZK over FHE ensuring result correctness, among other strong security guarantees. The current main limitation is the high cost of complex computations (such as multiplication), with only addition-based voting being mature. Optimizations such as slashing-based approaches are being advanced, with the long-term goal of achieving obfuscation techniques to eliminate M-of-N committee dependency.

The Flow Protocol launched its first Agent-driven token auction early this morning, attracting over $100,000 in bidding funds in just 9 minutes, ultimately accepting a bid of approximately $79,732.The auction is built on the Uniswap CCA (Continuous Clearing Auction) framework, specifically designed for AI Agents, allowing only AI Agents to participate in bidding, price discovery, and token issuance. After the auction concludes, the raised funds are automatically paired with FLOWS and injected into the Uniswap V4 liquidity pool, using the auction "clearing price" as the starting price, making FLOW immediately tradable, and becoming the first "Agentic Capital Markets" model project on Base. This mechanism upgrades the traditional Launchpad to be AI-native, allowing humans to enable Agents to participate automatically by building "skills," achieving decentralized and anti-sniping price discovery.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, Coinbase has added Aztec (AZTEC) to its listing roadmap, and the project team also announced the specific time for the TGE: February 12 at 3 PM (Beijing time). Aztec conducted a fully on-chain automated token auction last December, with 16,741 addresses participating in the auction sale.Ultimately, 15% of the tokens were sold, raising 19,388 ETH (59.13 million USD). This means an FDV of 490 million USD, with a cost of 0.0473 USD. After the auction, a liquidity pool was established on Uniswap with 4,234.6 ETH (12.91 million USD) and 273 million AZTEC. However, since the tokens cannot be transferred before the TGE, the pool has not been activated yet. Once the TGE synchronously activates this 26 million USD liquidity, AZTEC will become one of the altcoins with the best on-chain depth.

Currently, the CCA contract has been launched on Ethereum, Unichain, Arbitrum, and Base.

According to market news, the crypto privacy protocol Zama will launch an on-chain token sale with a fully diluted valuation (FDV) cap of $55 million through CoinList and its own auction application, using a sealed-bid Dutch auction structure to allocate 12% of its total supply of 11 billion tokens. This 12% token sale is divided into three parts.Before the main auction, a 2% community token sale will be held this week for Zama's NFT holders; from January 21 to January 24, an 8% sealed-bid Dutch auction will be conducted in collaboration with CoinList; and from January 27 to February 2, the final 2% will be sold at the auction clearing price. Although CoinList is the issuance partner for this main auction, the sale is not limited to that platform.Participants can also bid through Zama's own auction application. The main auction will take place on the Ethereum mainnet in the form of a sealed-bid Dutch auction. Bids will be executed from high to low, with the minimum price for token allocation being the clearing price that all successful bidders must pay. The reserve price for this auction is $0.005 per token, resulting in an FDV of $55 million based on Zama's total token supply.CoinList President Scott Keto stated that Zama's sale marks CoinList's first fully on-chain, non-custodial token sale. The Zama auction is also a practical application case of the protocol's fully homomorphic encryption technology, which allows for computations on encrypted data. Zama noted that while the auction is executed on-chain, the number of bids remains end-to-end encrypted, preventing participants from seeing each other's positions while maintaining on-chain auditability.

ZAMA co-founder Rand Hindi posted on the X platform that the ZAMA token auction date has been changed. The adjusted auction time is from January 21 to 24, and the token claim date is set for February 2.

The former co-founder of Scalar Capital, Linda Xie, who has joined the Farcaster team, announced on the X platform that the token issuance platform Clanker is currently exploring the next generation of token pre-sale solutions, Clanker Auctions. This pre-sale solution is expected to be designed based on the Uniswap CCA auction protocol and will add contracts related to liquidity, vesting, and more.It is reported that earlier this month, Clanker platform's first new token offering was targeted, and the community expressed that this pre-sale was a "disaster," as the pre-sale contract had an old version hard cap of only 20 ETH, with a certain whale acquiring 16 ETH (80%) of the share. Additionally, the lack of restrictions on the participation limit for individual wallets was also a major reason for the oligopoly in the pre-sale shares.
