Grass launches airdrop check page, the first airdrop accounts for 10% of the total

On September 5, Grass announced the launch of the airdrop check page. The check page only reflects the allocation of Closed Alpha and Epochs 1-7, and does not include the ongoing Bonus Epoch or To Be Announced allocation. The total supply will be 1 billion GRASS tokens, of which 10% is reserved for the first airdrop. The detailed allocation is: Closed Alpha: 1.5%; Epochs 1-7: 7%; Bonus Epoch: 0.5%; To Be Announced: 1%. The community is full of resentment about this airdrop, and many people said that they were counter-robbed. Related reading: "Grass airdrop was launched but was "counter-robbed"?

It has been exactly 7 years since the Chinese government stopped ICO activities on September 4, 2017

On September 4, 2017, as many as seven Chinese government departments issued the "Notice on Preventing the Risks of Token Issuance and Financing", which stopped ICO and classified it as an illegal financial activity.

Arthur Hayes: Short-term bearish, Bitcoin is expected to fall below $50,000 this weekend, and short selling has been carried out

On September 4, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes pointed out that due to political pressure and election cycle factors, it is difficult for the government to significantly cut spending or increase taxes, which will cause the US economy to continue to hover under the dual pressure of inflation and growth. Faced with this situation, the Federal Reserve may no longer raise interest rates further, and the market itself may respond to high debt financing costs by adjusting interest rates. The 10-year US Treasury yield may climb to 5% again, triggering a new round of fluctuations in the financial market. The price of Bitcoin has become one of the most sensitive indicators of the liquidity status of the US dollar. Hayes believes that if interest rates rise again and market liquidity tightens, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may face a new round of price corrections. On September 6, Arthur Hayes said, "It is expected that Bitcoin will fall below $50,000 this weekend, and shorting is being carried out." Related reading: "Arthur Hayes: The Fed's policy shift may face a storm in the market in September"


Bitfinex report: Bitcoin bottom may be between $40,000 and $50,000

On September 2, Bitfinex released a report saying, "This month's Fed interest rate decision is expected to significantly affect Bitcoin's short-term volatility and long-term trend. A 25 basis point rate cut may mark the beginning of a typical easing cycle, which may lead to a long-term rise in Bitcoin prices. On the other hand, a larger rate cut of 50 basis points may cause a surge in Bitcoin's immediate price, but it may be followed by a correction as recession concerns intensify. We would remind that there may be a 15-20% drop when the rate cut occurs this month, and the bottom of Bitcoin may be between $40,000 and $50,000.


Non-farm data released, the Fed's mouthpiece said that the non-farm report is unclear, and it is still unknown whether the rate cut will be 25 or 50bp in September

On September 6, the seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls in the United States in August were 142,000, and the expected 160,000, the previous value was revised from 114,000 to 89,000. Nick Timiraos, the "Federal Reserve mouthpiece", said that the non-farm payrolls report is likely to provide a clear signal about the extent of the Fed's first rate cut, whether it is 25 basis points or 50 basis points, the market pricing will immediately rise to 90%. However, this non-farm payrolls report did not solve this problem well. At present, the market is pricing "half and half" for a 25 or 50 basis point rate cut.


Telegram founder Pavel Durov spoke out after being arrested and promised to improve platform supervision

On September 6, Telegram founder Pavel Durov spoke through Telegram after being arrested in France, not only condemning the reasons for his recent arrest, but also stating that the company is ready to withdraw from markets that are incompatible with its privacy and security principles. Pavel Durov further mentioned that Telegram has taken similar actions in multiple countries, such as Russia and Iran. He said, "If a country is dissatisfied with platforms such as Telegram, it should sue the service platform itself rather than its CEO. The claim that Telegram is some kind of anarchist paradise is absolutely untrue. We have direct channels of communication with non-governmental organizations to handle urgent regulatory requests more quickly. In addition, Telegram has deleted the "People Nearby" feature, which is used by less than 0.1% of Telegram users and has problems with robots and scammers. Telegram will launch "Nearby Businesses" to replace it.

Founder of Ordinals: Rocktoshi is not a co-founder of Ordinals, and he is notorious in the Ordinals ecosystem

On September 4, Rocktoshi posted a message claiming to be the co-founder of Ordinals. Ordinala wrote code with Casey and Raph in the early days. On September 6, Casey Rodarmor, the founder of Ordinals, responded that Rocktoshi (founder of Node Monkey) was not a co-founder of Ordinals. Casey founded a startup company, Ordinals Corporation, in February 2023. Rocktoshi was one of the four co-founders at the time, but the company only existed for three months. It was conceived and created after the development, launch and success of the protocol and had nothing to do with the protocol. Casey believed at the time that Rocktoshi was not worthy of reliance or trust, so he proposed a separation. But Rocktoshi still pestered Casey and asked him to pay $5 million in exchange for his equity in the company. Even after the company was dissolved, Rocktoshi had been sending threatening emails to Casey for months. There are many people in the Ordinals ecosystem who have dealt with Rocktoshi, and everyone says that he has had similar long experiences with Rocktoshi, namely being threatened, deceived, manipulated, and cheated.

《Core Circle Researcher Talks about ETH: It's Time to Redesign Ethereum's Roadmap|In-depth Interview》

This episode of the Bankless podcast features Max Resnick, a researcher at SMG (@specialmech). He has some different views on the Ethereum roadmap than the mainstream. Max believes that the Ethereum community is overly focused on Rollups and has neglected the improvement of L1, making it difficult for L1 to support the application needs of key areas such as DeFi. He calls for re-prioritizing the decentralization and performance optimization of Ethereum L1 instead of relying solely on L2, and believes that the Ethereum roadmap should be redesigned, and the most important thing to consider is to shorten the block time. During the discussion, Max also expressed his optimism about ZK technology and questioned the possibilities that the current L2 ecosystem development will produce.

Why did it fall all the way? After reading this article, it may give you some thoughts.


《Webx2024 Special Observation: Japan's Crypto Market Ready to Take Off》

At Webx2024 in Japan, the Crypto market showed a strong contrast. On the one hand, senior government officials support the development of Web3, while on the other hand, the industry remains conservative and slow. The launch of Sony Chain has aroused expectations, but the lack of innovative breakthroughs may hit the creativity of Japan's crypto industry. Japanese projects focus more on IP content, NFT, and GameFi. Although cultural barriers hinder their global expansion, the spirit of craftsmanship still drives the fine polishing of projects. When compared with the world, public criticism seems unfair. Japanese project parties are more willing to develop steadily and avoid excessive risks. Side events emphasize interpersonal connections and show the unique charm of the Japanese crypto community. Despite the sluggish market, with the arrival of a new cycle, Japan's blockchain industry is still full of hope.

《Arthur Hayes: The Fed's policy shift may face a storm in the market in September》

The Fed's rate hike policy has had a significant impact on assets such as the U.S. Treasury market, inflation, and Bitcoin. With the policy shift in August 2023 and the increase in government fiscal spending, market expectations have changed, leading to higher bond yields and stock market volatility. Bitcoin once benefited from the rise, but its price fell back amid tight liquidity. Uncertainty about future policies, especially the possibility that the Fed may cut interest rates and push up bond yields, has further exacerbated market instability and raised concerns about the fragility of the banking system. The crypto market may continue to fluctuate in September, and altcoins may fall further.


《Binance increases investment in AI, what projects are it betting on? 》

Recently, Binance Labs, the venture capital arm of Binance, has increased its investment in the field of AI, and its investment director Max Coniglio publicly stated that "AI and blockchain are a powerful combination." What is the appeal of AI+blockchain? The key point is that they can complement each other and overcome each other's weaknesses. On the one hand, AI can improve the user experience of blockchain and enhance the decentralized system. On the other hand, blockchain can ensure the authenticity of AI data, promote the collaboration of open source projects, and support the computing needs of AI. At the same time, the AI track is also a hot spot in this cycle. Therefore, this article takes stock of the AI projects invested by Binance Labs and the corresponding ways to participate.


《Ordinals founder dispute: BTC ecological bosses burst out that "Ishimoto Satoshi" fraud and profited millions》

When the market is low, the interest disputes in the crypto industry are often more obvious. This tearing war in the Bitcoin ecosystem has attracted widespread attention. Casey, the founder of Ordinals, publicly published an article accusing rocktoshi of not being a co-founder and exposing more details of the conflict between the two. Subsequently, many industry leaders such as Erin and Leo spoke out in support of Casey and exposed the negative information about rocktoshi. Although the truth has not yet been determined, this series of events shows that conflicts of interest are still a factor that cannot be ignored in the crypto industry.


《Fractal's FSIC and ASIC, are we buying "computing power" or "attention"? 》

With less than a week until the Fractal mainnet launch, the focus of the market has shifted from the new asset frenzy to the mining craze of "rushing to the first mine", especially the NFT projects related to mining - FSIC and ASIC. Both projects were slow to sell initially, but eventually sold out quickly. Mining for FSIC will start on the first day of the mainnet launch, while ASIC is expected to be delayed by a week. Although ASIC has higher computing power, the market reaction is still unclear. The price of FSIC has doubled in the secondary market, showing a strong liquidity premium.


《CFTC Commissioner Speaks for Uniswap, Questioning "Enforcement-style Regulation"》

On Wednesday, it was reported that a16z and USV were subpoenaed by a New York court regarding Uniswap regulation issues. Prior to this, the CFTC accused Uniswap Labs of providing illegal digital asset derivatives transactions. According to the detailed announcement of the CFTC, Uniswap Labs has actively cooperated with the investigation and only needs to pay a fine of $175,000. However, this penalty decision has aroused some objections. Commissioner Summer K. Mersinger issued a statement of objection to the settlement with Uniswap Labs last night. She said that the Commission’s "regulation through law enforcement" approach to DeFi protocols not only failed to provide clear regulatory guidance for the DeFi field, but also may inhibit innovation and expel responsible developers from the United States. This is why US institutions such as Coinbase have unanimously called for the formulation of clear regulatory rules.


《A day rises 10 times, developers earn $30,000 a day, what is EtherVista, which claims to be the "new standard for DEX"? |Web3 Today's Scam》

VISTA, a new token that was born only one day ago, has rapidly risen on the EtherVista platform, with an increase of more than ten times. As an emerging decentralized exchange on Ethereum, EtherVista challenges the traditional model of Uniswap. Its unique mechanism reduces the risk of short-term price speculation and encourages long-term investment by only charging ETH as transaction fees and distributing the proceeds to liquidity providers and token creators. The platform introduces the Euler sequence mechanism to ensure the distribution of profits to each liquidity provider, and through an innovative lock-up mechanism, developers are prevented from withdrawing liquidity prematurely. In addition, the EtherVista platform also integrates real-time chat functions and customized token information display, and is committed to creating a transparent and informative decentralized financial platform.


《"Anti-sniping" meme failed at the opening, SICK, which wanted to challenge Pump.fun, doesn't look good? |Web3 Today's Scam》

The meme coin SICK went online after several days of warm-up, but its claimed anti-sniping mechanism failed to take effect, causing snipers to profit at the opening moment. Only two minutes after the opening, SICK's market value was pushed up to 5 million US dollars by snipers, and reached a peak of 6.8 million US dollars within 20 minutes, but then quickly collapsed, and the market value fell by 60%. SICK officials explained that technical problems caused the anti-sniping function to not be triggered, but this failed to quell the community's dissatisfaction. Meme community users questioned the project's rules of play and reminded ordinary traders to be wary of the vision portrayed by the project.


《The worst competitor of Pump.fun, is Cardano meme launch platform Snek.fun a dead light on the track? |Web3 Today's Scam》

In the past week, meme coin issuance platforms on various chains have emerged in an endless stream, and all of them have run out of meme coins with good growth. At 10 o'clock last night, the first meme coin issuance platform Snek.fun on the Cardano ($ADA) chain was officially launched, and the meme community was passing on various cross-chain, line-reading and wallet tools. More than 20 hours have passed, how is Snek.fun starting?


Death of Neiro: Trading platforms are becoming the "national football referee" of the meme market|100x review》

On the evening of September 5, OKX and Binance successively launched NEIRO contracts, and the price of NEIRO exploded, with the highest increase of 6 times in two days. In an instant, the "two dogs" with the same market value, now have a market value of 25M and the other has jumped to 150M. After simply collecting the information of uppercase and lowercase Neiro, we can see the dramatic story of the two "conspiracy groups" behind it, as well as the consensus crisis that is emerging in the meme field.


《Web3 name change trend: Can rebranding bring new life? 》

Last week, MakerDAO officially changed its name to Sky Protocol, and will upgrade its tokens and stablecoins to SKY and Sky Dollar (USDS). This move has attracted many users' praise and complaints. Throughout the crypto cycle, project name changes, mergers, or token name changes are common. According to incomplete statistics from BlockBeats, there are more than 40 projects involving protocol, project or token name changes or mergers this year alone. Can "rebranding" really bring new life to the project? This article conducts an in-depth analysis of the phenomenon of Web3 name change.


《How to examine the fundamentals of crypto projects? 》

If the market is respectable and mean-reverting, then in the long run, the market will not weigh projects without fundamentals. Therefore, under the trend of further increase in Bitcoin concentration, the market will experience a wave of painful corrections to fundamentals, and both primary and secondary will return to fundamental investment. But it seems that in the crypto field, investors are not good at fundamental investment, and even talking about fundamentals seems to be a matter without consensus. Therefore, this article attempts to dismantle and propose a very interesting new perspective in the crypto field: "fundamental paradox".


《Solana's "network expansion", will it follow in the footsteps of Ethereum? |Featured Thread》

As the debate over Solana's shift from a single blockchain to modular expansion intensifies, the crypto community is facing a narrative battle. This article explores the challenges Solana may encounter, especially the potential fragmentation of liquidity and deterioration of user experience, which are reminiscent of the difficulties Ethereum faces in Layer 2 expansion. Will Solana lose its way, or will it continue to consolidate its position with the help of "network expansion"? At the same time, a new single-body expansion champion may emerge, and what does this mean for the entire crypto ecosystem?
