Theo báo cáo của CoinDesk, nhà điều hành viễn thông VIVA ở Mỹ Latinh đã trở thành nhà điều hành đầu tiên triển khai mạng Iris. Iris là một mạng lưới thanh toán viễn thông dựa trên Avalanche, được thành lập bởi cựu đối tác blockchain của IBM, Jules Miller, giúp các nhà điều hành kết nối hệ thống danh tính, thanh toán và phân phối với dịch vụ tài chính mà không cần thay thế hệ thống viễn thông hiện có. VIVA đã hoạt động tại Bolivia hơn 25 năm và gần đây đã mở rộng sang thị trường Mexico.VIVA sử dụng stablecoin đô la USDi do công ty cơ sở hạ tầng stablecoin Agora phát hành để thực hiện thanh toán giao dịch, và có thể giữ dự trữ hoạt động đủ điều kiện bằng đô la thay vì tiền tệ địa phương. Iris hoạt động trên Avalanche Layer 1 chuyên dụng để kiểm soát các yêu cầu về thanh toán, hoạt động và tuân thủ. Khi Iris ra mắt, đã nhận được cam kết tài trợ 43 triệu đô la từ Balesia Group, một văn phòng gia đình có hoạt động viễn thông tại châu Mỹ.Giám đốc thương mại của Ava Labs, John Nahas, cho biết sự mở rộng ban đầu của Iris sẽ tập trung vào Mỹ Latinh cũng như một số thị trường châu Phi và châu Á. Ông đề cập rằng sản phẩm ứng dụng siêu mà VIVA sử dụng đã giúp giảm tỷ lệ rời bỏ của người dùng di động trả trước xuống 33% và tăng giá trị vòng đời người dùng lên 35%. Hiện tại, Iris đang thương thảo với nhiều nhà điều hành viễn thông toàn cầu hơn để tăng cường thêm nhiều nhà điều hành và dịch vụ.

According to Cointelegraph, Bernstein stated that the previous pullback of Bitcoin has to some extent reflected the market's concerns about the risks of quantum computing, believing that this threat is "real but manageable," and is not yet an imminent systemic risk.Although research, including that from Google, suggests that future quantum computers could potentially crack commonly used blockchain encryption algorithms quickly under extreme conditions, advancements in zero-knowledge proofs and post-quantum cryptography have formed a hedge to some extent.Bernstein believes that Bitcoin developers still have about 3 to 5 years to advance the post-quantum upgrade path and mentioned the current BIP-360 proposal, which could reduce some quantum exposure risks through a soft fork. Additionally, institutional investors (including ETF issuers and corporate holders) are expected to play an active role in promoting consensus for the upgrade.However, industry opinions point out that the main challenge of the post-quantum upgrade lies in user migration and consensus formation, rather than the technical implementation itself.
