According to a message posted by Aave founder Stani Kulechov on X, Aave V4 is being gradually launched in phases, introducing a brand new dual-layer isolation market architecture. This architecture separates collateral into independent Hubs, with each Hub further divided into Spokes, implementing selective cap control for liquidity sharing between the Spokes within each Hub.The initial market structure is organized around three Hubs: Prime, Core, and Plus, with more Hubs expected to be launched in subsequent phases. This architecture achieves more refined collateral isolation and liquidity supply management compared to Aave's previous market design. The phased launch allows Aave to progressively deploy V4 while continuously monitoring performance and risk parameters under the new market structure before a full launch.

Messari's latest Pulse report provides an in-depth analysis of the early implementation progress of the Bitget AI trading system. The report points out that Bitget has built a four-layer AI product architecture that includes GetAgent (market analysis), GetClaw (autonomous execution), Agent Hub (developer access), and Gracy AI (strategy interaction). Data shows that Gracy AI attracted over 460,000 users just 11 days after its launch, generating more than 2.6 million replies and achieving an exposure of 390 million; GetAgent has surpassed 450,000 registered users, achieving over 100 million exposures during its early invitation testing phase and accumulating more than 25,000 waiting users.Messari emphasizes the infrastructure capabilities of Agent Hub in the report, noting that Bitget is currently the only trading platform that supports a complete calling system for MCP Server, REST/WebSocket API, Skills, and CLI. Currently, Agent Hub has integrated 5 analytical AI Skills and over 15 data tools, covering macro, technical, sentiment, and intelligence analysis comprehensively. The execution layer, GetClaw, builds a risk control defense line through sub-account isolation, sandbox drills, and funding limits, and has now integrated with Telegram, with plans to expand to Discord and app platforms in the future.Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that AI is becoming a core component of modern trading infrastructure, and early data indicates that users increasingly expect a complete integration of analysis, execution, and strategy within a single platform. Bitget is committed to lowering the professional trading threshold through AI technology, providing institutional-level trading experiences and decision support for 150 million users worldwide.

In response to the recent Kelp DAO cross-chain bridge attack, Ondo Finance stated on the X platform that Ondo Bridge is currently operating safely, with no financial losses or abnormal events.Ondo Bridge is also built on LayerZero and employs a customized security architecture consisting of four independent decentralized verification networks (DVN), namely FCAT, LayerZero Labs, Canary, and Ondo's self-developed verifier. Even if a single DVN encounters issues, the security of the transfers can still be guaranteed.

Aave founder Stani Kulechov tweeted that Aave respects Chaos Labs' decision to withdraw from its risk management role and thanks them for their contributions over the past years. The smart contracts, asset listings, and network deployments of the Aave protocol are not affected, and both parties will maintain close cooperation during the withdrawal process.Aave currently employs a dual-layer economic risk management model, jointly managed by Chaos Labs and LlamaRisk. Given the scale of the Aave protocol, it will continue to maintain the dual-layer model in the future and additionally add a technical risk layer managed by Aave Labs. Aave Labs will work closely with LlamaRisk to ensure that risk coverage remains uninterrupted during the transition and to support LlamaRisk in increasing its budget and team size.

Cybersecurity company CUJO AI has officially launched a network-layer cryptocurrency investment fraud detection capability designed for network service providers (NSP), which can identify fraudulent activities that bypass application layer and platform layer protections. CUJO AI stated that modern cryptocurrency investment scams often rely on rotating domain names, wallet interactions, and social engineering tactics, making it difficult for a single platform to grasp the full picture; the network layer is a key location where such threats are concentrated.According to Chainalysis data, global losses from cryptocurrency-related scams and fraud are estimated to reach $17 billion by 2025, with the majority of victims being ordinary users rather than institutional traders.

According to the official announcement, the globally leading digital asset trading platform Gate has announced a partnership with the Ethereum Layer2 network Abstract and the DeFi protocol Aborean Finance deployed on that chain, launching a liquidity incentive campaign called "Gate Abstract Incentive Carnival" aimed at the Abstract ecosystem. This program revolves around the GTBTC/GUSD liquidity pool, integrating transaction fee sharing, $ABX governance token rewards, and ecological XP incentive mechanisms, constructing a multi-layered revenue structure of "transaction fees + tokens + ecological points" to strengthen the platform's capabilities in on-chain liquidity and multi-chain collaboration.According to the rules, users can obtain LP certificates and share transaction fees after adding liquidity on Gate. If they choose to stake in Aborean, they can receive governance token rewards; during the event, they can also earn double XP and exclusive badges from the Abstract ecosystem. This collaboration precisely matches wallet binding and on-chain incentives, enhancing reward transparency and verifiability, and under the backdrop of the maturation of account abstraction and Layer2 infrastructure, it forms a new exploration direction in multi-chain collaboration and on-chain incentive mechanism design.

The digital asset trading platform Gate officially launched Gate for AI, introducing the industry's first unified AI entry point that integrates five major capabilities—CEX, DEX, wallets, real-time information, and on-chain data—under the same interface system.Gate for AI adopts a dual-layer capability structure. In this architecture, MCP provides standardized basic interfaces, covering functions such as market data, account information, trade execution, and on-chain data queries, enabling AI to quickly access and utilize platform capabilities; Skills encapsulates higher-level strategy modules based on this, such as market scanning, position range assessment, and risk analysis, helping AI make more complex trading decisions.In addition, Gate for AI supports multi-platform calls, lowering the usage threshold and catering to users with different needs. This release marks the upgrade of the exchange's capabilities from interface products to directly callable AI infrastructure, pushing digital asset trading into the era of Agent-native.

Vitalik Buterin proposed the main patterns for the future of on-chain mechanism design: mechanisms similar to prediction markets that maximize openness and accountability (anyone can buy and sell, good decisions make money, bad decisions lose money), suitable for being a "decentralized execution layer"; decentralized, diversified, non-tokenized preference settings (anonymous voting, preferably MACI to prevent collusion), maximizing intrinsic motivation space, avoiding token holders from monopolizing control. Prediction markets are the best primitive for achieving "decentralized governance."

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, market analyst Omkar Godbole stated that the Bitcoin market is exhibiting a unique "iceberg" phenomenon: while the surface market shows a seller-dominated trend, deep buying power is continuously accumulating. At the quote level (0%) and within the 1% depth range, trades dominated by market makers show significant selling pressure; however, in the deeper price range of 2% to 5%, the number of buy orders exceeds sell orders and continues to grow, indicating that off-exchange funds are positioning at lower price levels.Order Book Depth data shows that the market has the capacity to absorb large orders at stable prices. Currently, Bitcoin is quoted at $94,000, and the market is closely watching the upcoming U.S. non-farm payroll data for guidance on the trend of risk assets.
