The Ethereum Foundation stated that the Open Intents Framework aims to serve as a shared infrastructure for cross-chain intents, providing a modular open framework for deploying, discovering, and executing intents for the ecosystem.At the same time, LI FI announced the launch of LI FI Intents, a full-stack execution engine for same-chain and cross-chain transfers, which competes for quotes and completes order execution through a professional Solver network. LI FI documentation shows that its Intent/Solver Marketplace is one of the official foundations of the Open Intents Framework, and the Ethereum Foundation claims that the framework is entering a phase of large-scale adoption.

The cross-chain liquidity aggregation protocol LI.FI announced the launch of LI.FI Intents, a modular full-stack execution engine that competes for order execution through a network of specialized solvers, built on the reference contract of the Open Intents Framework.The Open Intents Framework is a public goods initiative led by the Ethereum Foundation, with contributions from over 30 teams including LI.FI, OpenZeppelin, Wonderland, Uniswap Labs, Hyperlane, and others. LI.FI Intents is a large-scale implementation of OIF in a production environment, providing stablecoin payments, access to real-world assets, and compliant on-chain liquidity for enterprises.LI.FI stated that historically, the intent stack has been too rigid, forcing all applications to adopt a single execution model. Teams had to build from scratch to solve multiple issues such as order expression, solver networks, cross-chain settlement, and fill validation. OIF empowers teams with the freedom to choose and customize through modular components, reducing the time to build intent applications from months to days.The Ethereum Foundation commented, "The Open Intents Framework is designed as a shared infrastructure for intents, a modular and open framework for the ecosystem to collaboratively build intent applications. This framework takes the next step: achieving large-scale adoption."

NEAR Intents announces an upgrade to its cross-chain exchange functionality, allowing users to directly exchange over 100 types of tokens for Zcash (ZEC) through a single transaction process.This upgrade is based on NEAR's intent-based infrastructure, abstracting complex backend routing logic to simplify the user experience for cross-chain interactions. By integrating Zcash into a broader exchange ecosystem, NEAR Intents targets users who wish to consolidate multiple token holdings into a single privacy-enhanced asset without needing to switch between multiple protocols or cross-chain bridges. This move demonstrates NEAR's ongoing commitment to advancing cross-chain interoperability through its Intents protocol.

According to a report by CCTV International News, U.S. Vice President Pence stated in an interview regarding the Iran issue that the United States has no intention of staying in Iran and will withdraw quickly after handling current affairs. He added that there is every reason to believe that the U.S. has completed all military objectives. The ongoing military action is due to President Trump wanting to ensure that Iran completely loses its ability to threaten the United States.Regarding the current rise in domestic oil prices in the U.S., Pence stated that this is an extremely brief market reaction to the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict, and that oil prices will fall back after the U.S. withdraws from Iran.

According to CNN, a jury in California largely supported the claims of Twitter (now rebranded as X) shareholders on Friday, who accused billionaire Musk of making false statements before acquiring the social media company for $44 billion in 2022 and intentionally driving down the company's stock price. However, the jury did not find that Musk was involved in an overall scheme to defraud investors.This ruling concludes a civil class action lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed by a group of Twitter shareholders in October 2022—just weeks before Musk officially took over the company. During the weeks-long trial, Musk was forced to testify in his defense. Musk initially agreed to acquire Twitter in April 2022 but attempted to back out of the deal in the following months, ultimately completing the acquisition.According to estimates from the plaintiffs' attorneys, the jury's awarded damages are expected to be around $2.5 billion, with the exact amount depending on the final number of people who apply to join the class action. Musk's lawyers stated that Musk plans to appeal the ruling. His law firm, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, noted that Musk has successfully appealed in other unrelated cases in Texas and Delaware recently.

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that he has no intention of leaving his position at the Federal Reserve until the U.S. Department of Justice's investigation is "completely concluded with transparency and finality."Reports indicate that Chairman Powell's term will end on May 15, but his term as a governor will continue until early 2028, theoretically allowing him to remain in office. Powell stated that he would decide whether to continue serving based on what is "most beneficial for the institution and the public."This statement may affect the pace of personnel adjustments to the Federal Reserve under the Trump administration. Currently, Trump has appointed several governors, and if Powell were to leave, it could further expand his influence at the Federal Reserve.

Mastercard and Google jointly released the open standard framework Verifiable Intent, designed specifically for the "agent commerce" scenario where AI agents autonomously complete shopping transactions. This framework utilizes cryptographic technology to create tamper-proof authorization records when AI agents execute transactions on behalf of users, integrating identity, intent, and actions into a single privacy-protecting audit trail, addressing the issue where merchants and issuing institutions cannot confirm whether consumers truly authorized a transaction when AI agents place orders autonomously.The framework employs selective disclosure technology to ensure that parties only receive necessary information and integrates widely adopted industry standards such as those from the FIDO Alliance and EMVCo. Mastercard stated that Verifiable Intent will be integrated into its Agent Pay API in the coming months.Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency camp is also actively positioning itself. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong pointed out that while AI agents cannot open bank accounts, they can hold cryptocurrency wallets, indicating that blockchain infrastructure may be more suited to the future of the AI agent economy.

According to Cointelegraph, PsiQuantum has launched the construction of a fault-tolerant quantum computing facility in Chicago, aiming for 1 million quantum bits, using a photonic quantum computing approach that leverages mature semiconductor, fiber optic, and cooling technologies for scalability. The construction is progressing rapidly, with 500 tons of steel structure erected in just a few days. The first phase is expected to be partially completed around 2027, with the ultimate goal of becoming operational around 2028.The facility's computing power is equivalent to hundreds of billions of traditional computers, primarily serving the next generation of AI supercomputing. The crypto community is currently focused on its potential ability to crack Bitcoin. PsiQuantum co-founder Terry Rudolph has explicitly stated that there is no intention to use quantum computing to attack Bitcoin, and the company's scale makes it impossible to conduct such activities secretly. Recently, discussions about quantum threats have intensified, and the Bitcoin community is already discussing a hard fork as a response. Currently, the world's largest quantum computer has only 6,100 qubits, far from reaching the practical threshold, posing limited short-term threats to Bitcoin.

FTX founder SBF posted on X platform and @Trump, stating that the "Cryptocurrency Market Structure Bill" (the CLARITY Act) will become an important milestone in the history of cryptocurrency development and a significant achievement for President Trump. "I once actively promoted a similar bill aimed at freeing cryptocurrency from the control of former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, but Gensler helped Biden's Justice Department send me to prison."Imprisoned SBF is launching a futile campaign for a presidential pardon in the United States. Trump pardoned SBF's cellmate, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, on December 2 last year. Since then, SBF has frequently tweeted his support for Trump's policies, trying to curry favor with Trump in hopes of a pardon or sentence reduction. In fact, SBF's family has been publicly lobbying Trump since early 2025 and actively arranging meetings with his allies. However, earlier today, a White House spokesperson made it clear that Trump has no intention of pardoning SBF.Note: SBF is still in prison, and this message is being forwarded by a friend who has access to SBF's account.
