Vitalik Buterin has outlined potential future models for on-chain mechanism design. According to BlockBeats, these models include mechanisms similar to prediction markets, which aim to maximize openness and accountability by allowing anyone to buy and sell, rewarding good decisions and penalizing bad ones. This approach is suitable for creating a 'decentralized execution layer.' Additionally, Buterin suggests decentralized, diverse, and non-tokenized preference settings, such as anonymous voting with MACI to prevent collusion, to maximize intrinsic motivation and avoid token holders gaining control. Prediction markets are considered the best primitive for achieving 'decentralized governance.'

Seth has officially launched a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain testnet that is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). According to Foresight News, this network is deployed across Google's global node network and achieves a single-chain transaction processing speed of 30,000 transactions per second (TPS). It supports linear scalability and dynamically elects 1,024 nodes every 10 minutes from a node pool to form a block production committee for collaborative block generation. On the ecosystem level, Seth enables billion-level AI smartphones and embodied robots (with proprietary factories) to connect as full nodes. It aims to create a silicon-based infrastructure focused on AI agents for AI-native applications.

Metal markets continued their sharp decline on Monday during the Asian trading session, following a downturn that began last Friday. According to Odaily, Pepperstone strategist Michael Brown noted that the current adjustment mirrors previous trends, characterized by rapid and excessive drops. He suggested that a 'dead cat bounce' might soon occur, indicating a temporary recovery. Despite the recent volatility, Brown maintains a bullish outlook for the long term, citing strong demand from central banks and retail sectors. Additionally, precious metals remain a preferred choice for investors seeking geopolitical hedges over the U.S. dollar or U.S. Treasury bonds. The focus now shifts to whether market bubbles have been sufficiently deflated and speculative positions cleared, allowing fundamentals to once again drive price movements.

Barclays interest rate strategists, in a research report, expect the U.S. Treasury to maintain its current issuance of interest-bearing bonds in the next quarter and throughout fiscal year 2026. Analyst Dhiraj Narula points out that this forecast is consistent with previous policy guidance, meaning that issuance has remained stable for two full years since the last increase in issuance between February and April 2024. Narula emphasizes in the report that the underlying fiscal situation in the U.S. remains severe. He notes, "A nearly $2 trillion annual deficit continues to put pressure on the U.S. Treasury in terms of debt issuance." While the current expectation is for the issuance to remain unchanged, Narula cautions that the U.S. Treasury stated last November that it had "begun to preliminarily consider the possibility of future increases" in auction sizes. Therefore, the upcoming quarterly refinancing announcement may reveal the latest developments in these expansion plans. (Jinshi)

Barclays Bank's interest rate strategist has projected that the U.S. Treasury will maintain the issuance size of interest-bearing bonds unchanged for the next quarter and throughout the 2026 fiscal year.
