ERC-7802 is a cross-chain standard that extends new features to existing ERC-20 tokens, enabling standardized cross-chain functionality through the ERC-7802 interface.

This article discusses the issue of "low float, high FDV" in the cryptocurrency sector and explains its distinction from traditional finance (TradFi). In cryptocurrency, FDV is based on the potential future token supply, unlike TradFi, which focuses on the actual shares issued. The core problem lies in the time-scheduled token release mechanism, which fails to align with market demand, leading to price declines and conflicts among stakeholders.

This article delves into the Pump.Science platform, an innovative project that combines cryptocurrency with scientific research. Its goal is to fund longevity experiments through community support and token economics. The article provides a detailed introduction to how Pump.Science operates, including the fundraising for experiments, community participation, and real-time tracking of scientific experiments.

I believe we're at a stage where the combination of crypto and AI agents needs to evolve beyond toy-like agents into productive ones. At this early stage, Virtuals Protocol stands as a project offering a clearer vision of "productive onchain AI agents."

Virtuals Protocol provides a framework for creating, owning, and scaling tokenized AI Agents. Our deep dive into Virtuals’ smart contracts revealed a sophisticated system for permissionless contributions and value creation.

In this article, we will go through the three key types of nodes that will shape the future of the Ethereum network: stateless nodes, stateful nodes, and full/archive nodes. We will examine how stateless nodes can enable trustless verification of new blocks using zero-knowledge proofs, how stateful nodes can provide quick and trustless access to the current state of Ethereum, and how full/archive nodes can store the entire chain history back to genesis.
