Gate Research Institute: Web3 Events and Encryption Technology Development Follow-up (2025.1.4-2025.1.10)
Introduction
This report summarizes a series of important events that occurred in the blockchain and cryptocurrency fields from January 4, 2025, to January 10, 2025. These events not only demonstrate the activity level of the crypto market but also embody trends for future development. The research institute's weekly report last week: Gate Research Institute: AI Agent sector leads the year-end rally, Musk's name change drives related Memecoin surge's "Next week focus - Crypto calendar - Crypto events."
Summary
Key Events of Focus
1/6 Unichain mainnet plans to enable permissionless fault-proof functionality.
The Unichain mainnet will go live in early 2025[1]. Mainnet will support Permissionless Fault Proofs from day one to ensure that on-chain activity can be verified, further improving security and decentralization. Specifically, the roadmap includes:1. Testnet Phase: The Sepolia testnet is currently open and the infrastructure provider is testing it; 2. Mainnet Launch: Mainnet is scheduled to enable the unlicensed Proof of Fault feature on January 6, 2025, and will be fully available after the functional verification is completed; 3. Experimental testnet: After the mainnet is launched, the testing and development of new features will continue to be promoted. These include reducing the valid block time to 250 milliseconds through Flashblocks technology, and launching the Unichain validation network, inviting the community to participate in node verification testing.
1/7 Swarms will introduce features such as automatic generation and uploading.
Kye Gomez, the founder of Swarms, stated that the AI agent protocol Swarms market will launch several new features. These include automated generation and upload (seamless creation of agents, tools, and Swarms, directly uploaded to the market); paywall integration (listing agents at a certain price, thereby tokenizing them); token integration (buying and selling agents using Phantom through SWARMS tokens, streamlining transactions); Auto-Cloud (launching Swarm API in the cloud with just one prompt); agent quality rewards (token rewards for publishing high-quality agents); real-time chat and API (providing real-time interaction and API functionality for each agent, Swarms, tools, and prompts); usage tracking (monitoring real-time usage of agents with detailed tracking tools).
The new features of the Swarms market lower the application threshold for AI technology, allowing more non-professionals to easily access and use AI agents. This will accelerate the popularization and application of AI technology across various fields, promoting digital transformation and intelligent upgrading in all industries.
1/7 Bedrock launches uniBTC Berachain Vault
Bedrock has launched the uniBTC Berachain Vault, supporting a cross-chain reward mechanism aimed at bridging the Ethereum and Berachain ecosystems. Users can achieve automated yields, cross-chain asset management, and participate in the Boyco pre-deposit event of Berachain through this Vault.
The uniBTC Berachain Vault launched by Bedrock will bring users multiple benefits and conveniences. First, through the cross-chain reward mechanism, users can achieve seamless asset flow and management between Ethereum and Berachain, expanding investment channels and sources of income. Second, the four-tier revenue structure and multiple rewards (such as ETH mainnet rewards, Berachain rewards, etc.) provide users with rich income opportunities, increasing the attractiveness of investments. In addition, the setting of referral bonuses encourages interaction and promotion among users. The collaborative development of Bedrock and the Berachain ecosystem attracts more users to participate in the DeFi space, promoting innovation and development in cross-chain finance.
1/8 Aave V3 has been deployed to the Aptos testnet, marking the Aave protocol's first deployment on a non-EVM network.
According to official news, Aave has successfully deployed its third-generation protocol Aave V3 on the Aptos testnet, marking Aave's first deployment on a non-EVM chain. This deployment aims to conduct experiments and stress tests to ensure the stability of the protocol when it goes live on the mainnet. The Aptos network has seen significant growth since 2024, with TVL increasing from 100 million dollars to about 1.8 billion dollars, attracting a large number of DeFi projects.
The deployment of Aave v3 on the Aptos testnet marks a key step for Aave in multi-chain expansion, as well as a significant advancement in the protocol's technical upgrades. The Aptos platform, based on the Move language, features high throughput, low fees, and enhanced security, providing a suitable operating environment for Aave. Moreover, with the expansion of the Aptos ecosystem, the support for mainstream stablecoins like USDC and USDT further enriches Aave's collateral asset options. It is reported that the Aave team will collaborate with the Aptos community and on-chain security teams during the testing phase to ensure the protocol's security and prepare for mainnet deployment.
1/9 VitaDAO's new proposal suggests bridging VITA to the Solana network.
The decentralized autonomous organization VitaDAO, aimed at funding longevity research projects, announced on platform X that the proposal VDP-159 to cross-chain VITA to Solana has been published on Snapshot, where VITA tokens can be used for voting. The proposal aims to expand VITA to Solana by establishing the presence and liquidity of the token. As of January 2, the voting rate for this proposal has reached 99.81%, and the voting will end on January 9. If the proposal is successfully passed, Solana's high performance and low gas fees are expected to attract more users to participate in the VITA ecosystem, thereby expanding the community size.
Summary
From January 4, 2025, to January 10, 2025, significant events in the blockchain and cryptocurrency fields will occur, showcasing market vitality and industry trends. The Unichain mainnet plans to enable a permissionless fault-proof feature. A new proposal from VitaDAO suggests bridging VITA to the Solana network. The Swarms market will launch features such as automatic generation and uploading. Bedrock will launch the uniBTC Berachain Vault.
