This article delves into the rise of the intersection between artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrency, focusing on the rapid development of AI agents and their profound impact on the crypto market. It analyzes the origins, development, and classification of AI agents, and explores in detail the fusion of AI agents with Memecoin culture, as well as how this fusion has accelerated the rapid expansion of the AI agent field.

Against the background that Solana's new narrative is in urgent need of succession, Sonic, SOON, and Solayer of the SVM ecosystem are using differentiated technical paths to try to answer the ultimate industry proposition of "high concurrency, low latency, and cross-chain compatibility." This article will also dismantle the deep logic of this SVM arms race from the three dimensions of underlying architecture, ecological strategy, and market position.

Gate Research (2025.2.8-2025.2.14): On February 9, Etherscan launched an on-chain address credit scoring feature. On February 10, Bitcoin financial services company Fold expanded its partnership with Visa to launch a Bitcoin rewards card. On February 12, Plume partnered with Superstate to advance multi-chain RWA finance expansion. Sahara AI launched its Studio platform to accelerate decentralized AI development. On February 13, Plume Network partnered with Mercado Bitcoin to tokenize $40 million of Brazilian RWA assets.

This article examines Ethereum's Pectra upgrade (Prague/Electra) coming in March 2025. The upgrade introduces key changes: raising the maximum validator stake to 2048 ETH, enhancing execution and consensus layer interactions, adding BLS12-381 curve support, optimizing blob transactions, and enabling EOA account code settings. These changes will reshape staking distribution, validator operations, cross-chain functionality, and user experience.

Native Rollups advance Ethereum's Rollup-Centric roadmap by using the EXECUTE precompile to simplify governance and enhance security. Despite EVM implementation challenges, they improve the ecosystem's security and reduce fragmentation. Future GigaGas Rollups will further boost Ethereum's scalability and resilience.

Story Protocol's white paper outlines a vision where all types of intellectual property can exist on a "programmable ledger," allowing seamless collaboration, transactions, and automated revenue sharing through smart contracts.

BOB is creating a hybrid solution that lets users withdraw assets via Bitcoin transactions without relying on Ethereum. It uses Ethereum for data availability and Bitcoin for censorship resistance. Users store withdrawal data in Bitcoin’s Taproot outputs and complete transactions with a two-phase commit/reveal process.

In this article, we’ll examine how Rewards V2 improves upon the MVP, its core innovations, and the broader impact it has on enhancing decentralization and security within the EigenLayer ecosystem.

In our previous series, we explored based rollups, booster rollups and native rollups. In this article, we will examine gigagas rollups by looking at what they are trying to solve and how they work

This article provides an in-depth look at KAITO's veToken model, the way AI algorithms measure KOL (Key Opinion Leader) influence, and its unique systems for voting and staking. It highlights how KAITO achieves its goals by managing dissemination nodes and shaping public opinion.

The article delves into the heated debate within the Ethereum community regarding increasing the gas limit, analyzing its potential impact on transaction throughput, gas fees, network activity, DApp development, and Ethereum's "impossible trilemma." It reviews the history of proposals to raise the gas limit, discussing technical considerations such as block size, execution time, validator hardware requirements, and MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) revenue. The article also highlights the risks and opportunities that this change may bring.

This first article takes a look at based rollups—a proposed approach to building rollups that mitigates problems with classic rollups, such as sequencer centralization, liveness risks, and censorship resistance. We'll explore how based rollups work, what benefits they offer, and where the roadblocks to adoption of based rollups lie.

Project89 adopts a new way to design Agent Framework. This is a high-performance Agent Framework for game development. Compared with the currently used Agent Framework, it is more modular and has better performance.

Gate Research (2025.2.1-2025.2.7): On February 1, Uniswap CEO announced that the V4 version will provide lower gas fees for user swaps and increased LP profits. On February 4, Ethereum founder Vitalik indicated that the Pectra upgrade is scheduled for execution in March. On February 4, Movement launched a year-long Cornucopia liquidity enhancement program. On February 6, Syndicate integrated with Alchemy Rollup infrastructure and launched an accelerator program.

TEE technology creates a secure and isolated computing environment to resolve trust issues among communities, developers, and AI Agents. This article explores how Phala Network collaborates with top AI Agent projects to implement TEE in real-world use cases and plans to enhance its token economy to support more applications.
