The Meme Research Institute team under the AscendEX (formerly BitMax) platform screened out high-quality memes for online listing based on on-chain data and project background, and the platform's Memecoin initial launch rate reached 80%.

Ethereum core developer Péter Szilágyi shared insights on developer motivations. He said that people have a fundamental misunderstanding of builders. Szilágyi pointed out that most developers start coding before considering monetary rewards, and they do so because creating things is fun, challenging, and stimulating. He emphasized that while money can buy developers' time, it cannot buy their passion. Szilágyi believes that in addition to time investment, passion is also needed to accomplish great work.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) said that more than 40 financial companies will explore the use of tokenization in wholesale cross-border payments through the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Project Agorá. These financial companies were selected after the BIS publicly called for participants in May. The project has now entered the design phase. The BIS said on its website that the project is based on its concept of a unified ledger and "will study how to seamlessly integrate tokenized commercial bank deposits with tokenized wholesale central bank money into a programmable core financial platform."

Vitalik Buterin refuted Ethereum team leader Péter Szilágyi’s claim that the research team is fully accepting of the idea of ​​centralizing everything as long as it can be verified: “I just attended the EF research workshop last week, and I can confirm that this is wrong. We had various discussions on minimizing centralization. This included: * A deep analysis of multi-proposers to see if the builder role can be eliminated entirely; * Maximizing the power of inclusion lists (FOCIL); * Ideas on fork choice depending on transaction inclusion; * Analysis of the Orbit SSF and ideas on accelerating the deployment of the Orbit mechanism, which may reduce the minimum deposit size by more than 10 times before we do the SSF; * Distributed block construction for PeerDAS; * Networking analysis and bandwidth optimization for PeerDAS and fullDAS; * Ways to make recovery from 51% attacks more partially automated and less dependent on the ‘social layer’; * Ensuring inclusion lists fully work for (i) blobs and (ii) native account abstractions (e.g. EIP-7560) transactions. ” Earlier today, Ethereum team leader (Team Lead) Péter Szilágyi expressed concerns about the direction of Ethereum development on social media. His views involve the Ethereum PeerDAS proposal, which proposes to increase the size of Ethereum blobs to 32 MB. Szilágyi believes that the PeerDAS upgrade will hinder home stakers (usually those with simpler computing power settings) from participating in the Ethereum network, which goes against the spirit of decentralization. Szilágyi wrote on X: "Ethereum researchers are "murdering" home stakers in front of everyone. This is not what I expected when I joined Ethereum. Now I am happy to prove that this is not the case, but I feel that Ethereum is losing its main line. The research team seems to have fully accepted the idea of ​​centralizing everything as long as it can be verified. This is a joke: decentralized verification but centralized control. "

According to Odaily, the Innovation Hub of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has launched Project Agorá. This initiative is a collaboration with seven central banks and aims to transform cross-border payments through tokenization technology. The project utilizes wholesale central bank digital currency (wCBDC) and tokenized deposits to execute payments on a unified ledger, simplifying the compliance process. Tokenization enables atomic settlement, meaning payments are reflected simultaneously in all banks' balances. This technology also simplifies Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures. In addition to Project Agorá, BIS is experimenting with shared protocols in Project Mandala, offering 'proof of compliance' and suggesting the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to establish AML monitoring models. BIS emphasizes that the next generation of correspondent banking should be inclusive, accessible, and capable of capturing network effects. This project is a significant step towards achieving these goals, and it is expected to bring about considerable changes in the banking sector.

Péter Szilágyi, team leader of the Ethereum Foundation, debated with Dankrad Feist, the proposer of Danksharding and a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, on MEV and its extension. He said that MEV was an attack on Ethereum, but Ethereum did not fight it, but shared the benefits with enough people to keep most people silent; in addition, liquidity staking was an attack on Ethereum, and instead of solving it, many cascading staking solutions were promoted, allowing everyone to choose their own "poison"; state growth is a problem, and Ethereum is developing stateless verification so that people who "stake their money" are satisfied.

The Bank for International Settlements announced on Wednesday that a global central bank group is advancing a tokenized commercial bank deposit project called Agorá, which aims to build a trusted solution that uses smart contracts and programmability to integrate tokenized commercial bank deposits with central bank funds. Currently, the project brings together seven central banks from the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Switzerland, New York and Europe. (CoinDesk)
