A recent study released by Messari mentioned that the Talus project aims to build a decentralized infrastructure specifically designed for AI agents, enabling visualization, trust, and incentive mechanisms. Its goal is to create a more democratic and efficient digital economy system, which may become the underlying support for the digital economy of the future.

The current funding rates on major exchanges and decentralized platforms are skewed toward shorts, indicating overall market caution. Changes in funding rates reflect the sentiment of both bulls and bears; 0.01% is the neutral line, while below 0.005% indicates that bears are dominant. Bulls should wait for clearer signals and manage their position costs cautiously.

Caldera launches the "On-Chain Expansion Plan," expanding the ERA token to more chains. It is now live on Arbitrum One and an ERA/USDC pool has been created on Uniswap. In the coming months, they plan to deploy ERA to mainstream environments and introduce more in-depth cross-chain liquidity solutions, demonstrating their ambitious vision.

On December 8 at 8:05 PM, a leading exchange will suspend Terra network deposits and withdrawals due to a network upgrade, which is expected to be completed around 9:05 PM. LUNA holders are advised to arrange their funds in advance to avoid any impact on transfer operations.

An investment institution with assets worth trillions has pointed out that the Bank of Japan may raise interest rates to control inflation. It expects further policy tightening at the December meeting and advises against allocating short-term Japanese government bonds, as rising interest rates will depress the prices of short-term bonds.

[BlockBeats] There’s been an interesting perspective circulating in the market recently.
The analysis team at JPMorgan has been closely watching Bitcoin’s price movements and identified a key point—the real market mover right now isn’t the miners toiling away, but rather the giant holder, Strategy, and every move it makes. Simply put, as long as this world’s largest Bitcoin hoarder doesn’t loosen its grip and start selling, the market can hold steady. But on the miners’ side? The pressure is immense, and they’re on the verge of not being able to hold on.
Managing Director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou and his team dug deeper and found two issues brewing simultaneously: network hashrate and mining difficulty have been dropping recently, and the news from Strategy’s side has been unpredictable.
Why is the hashrate falling? It’s a tug-of-war between two forces. On one side, there’s another tightening of restrictions on private mining domestically; on the other, high-cost miners around the globe have done the math...

[Crypto World] The founder of an AI music project who previously played the "fake death marketing" trick is at it again. This time, he dropped a manifesto written by AI and casually launched a new token on Solana called PLOI—short for "Physical Limits of Intelligence," which already sounds pretty mystical. The token's market cap shot up to $5.4 million at its peak, but quickly shrank to $1.1 million—a wild rollercoaster ride.
The manifesto's ideas are even more outlandish: it claims that AI and humans will eventually merge at the biological level—not that AI will get smarter and catch up to humans, but that both sides will "converge." Sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, but in the crypto context, it feels more like philosophical window dressing for a hype campaign.
This move isn't actually new. This guy previously pulled a fake death stunt with a coin called Legacoin. After the obituary got deleted, the token price crashed. While many traders are now more cautious, there are still some loyal followers—after all, his previous Ze

[Crypto World] The balance of the computing power war is quietly tipping. The self-developed chip project, once questioned as “just burning money on R&D,” has now become the lever to pry open a multi-billion dollar market—a certain tech giant’s TPU chip, with a price half that of traditional GPUs, is beginning to conquer cities and territories in the AI computing power arms race.
Hundreds of billions of dollars in orders pouring into this chip is no coincidence. When AI unicorns publicly released benchmark data, and when social media giants and Musk’s AI team all began seriously evaluating alternatives, the market realized: this isn’t just a price war, but a reshuffling of the underlying computing power architecture. Wall Street has already smelled blood—analysts have collectively raised target prices, predicting the company’s stock will soar over 70% this year, with its market cap heading straight for the $4 trillion club.
The CEO’s remarks at the latest earnings call were meaningful: “AI has already shifted from a concept to a real engine for revenue growth.” To put it plainly...

[Crypto World] SHIB's price has been pretty tangled this year, but there's been a lot of movement on the ecosystem side. Their marketing head, Lucie, has been speaking out frequently—SHI stablecoin is about to launch, and Shibarium is gearing up for a major upgrade. More importantly, SHIB has been added to Japan's green list, Coinbase has started 24/7 SHIB futures trading, and there's even talk of an ETF happening behind the scenes.
Speaking of price, SHIB is currently at $0.000008589. Someone did the math: if this thing could really hit $1 (which sounds far-fetched), a $10 investment now could theoretically turn into over $1.16 million. Of course, that assumption is based on a lot of "ifs," but it does show that the SHIB community still has a lot of imagination for the future.
Right now, these infrastructure developments—stablecoin, layer 2 network, regulatory channels—are indeed, bit by bit...

[Lianwen] Lighter, this crypto trading protocol, has been quite active lately.
Their platform now officially supports spot trading, making ETH the first native asset available for trading on Ethereum L2. Users can already deposit and transfer ETH, and the spot trading feature will be fully open this week, with more trading markets to be launched in the future.
It's worth noting that Lighter just secured $68 million in funding last month, led by Founders Fund and Ribbit Capital. With both capital and product in place, it's now up to the market to see how they perform.

[BlockBeats] Recently, a certain hardware wallet team made big news—they discovered a vulnerability in a widely used processor chip found in Android phones, which could allow attackers to exploit it. Simply put, if you only use a software wallet on your phone to store coins, and your device falls into the wrong hands, you could be in serious trouble.
This time, the problematic chip is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300, manufactured by TSMC. The security team used an aggressive method—they injected electromagnetic pulses into the chip using open-source tools, forcibly interfering with its boot program. As a result, they found that the chip's boot ROM had a flaw that could be precisely exploited to access runtime data. Even more impressively, they bypassed the chip's write protection mechanism, directly overwriting the return address, and ultimately managed to run their own code at EL3, the processor's highest privilege level. The entire attack process? It can be replicated in just a few minutes.
Although this doesn't affect the security of professional hardware wallets, it's quite...
