At the "Crypto 2026: From Cryptocurrency to Smart Economy" themed forum held in Hong Kong, Tencent Cloud's industry architect Alan Nie delivered a keynote speech titled "Cloud + AI Dual Engine: Tencent Cloud Empowers New Growth in Web3."Alan Nie pointed out that Web3 enterprises face three major bottlenecks in global infrastructure, R&D efficiency, and business intelligence. Tencent Cloud deeply integrates the "Cloud + AI" dual engine to provide low-latency infrastructure covering the globe. Among them, the Singapore data center is the only cloud provider in the world that offers four availability zones, and the self-developed TDSQL-C database can achieve elastic scaling in seconds, with Redis single-node performance reaching over 300,000.In terms of AI empowerment, Tencent Cloud launched CodeBuddy (AI Pair Programmer) and WorkBuddy (Personal AI Assistant), which can automatically generate code, batch process office documents, organize meeting minutes, and support multi-agent parallel execution of complex tasks. In financial scenarios, the automation research report reproduction cycle has been shortened from three days to half a day; in on-chain data analysis scenarios, storage costs have been reduced to one-tenth of the original, with query responses reaching millisecond levels.Alan Nie stated that Tencent Cloud is committed to using the "Cloud + AI" dual engine to help Web3 enterprises build the next generation of smart economic infrastructure.

According to official news, the scalable blockchain network AO based on Arweave has announced the launch of the "Network Availability Staking Alpha (NASA)" testing program, which is a key step in its AO ecosystem aimed at enhancing the availability and reliability of decentralized data networks through a staking mechanism. The program is currently in the Alpha stage, and users can participate in network availability verification and earn rewards by providing data services for Arweave gateways and staking AO tokens.In the first pilot phase, AO introduces the "availability staking" mechanism, requiring node operators to stake 25 AO to participate in the network and compete for the speed and stability of responding to user requests. The system will allocate rewards from a monthly reward pool of 1000 AO based on the performance of nodes in data services. This mechanism relies on the next-generation HyperBEAM architecture, enabling higher levels of verifiability and trustlessness for gateway and routing services while significantly reducing operational costs.The project team stated that NASA aims to establish a stronger decentralized economic model for the entire permanent network infrastructure, paving the way for future expansion into areas such as computing scheduling, data indexing, and network services. Although the current reward scale is small and still in the testing phase, the program is seen as an important starting point for the AO-Core economic system and will gradually expand to more network infrastructure services in the future.
