ELabs accuses Aethir project of unilaterally changing lock-up rules and deceiving node users
The Asia-Pacific growth accelerator ELabs issued an apology statement on the X platform regarding the Aethir project, expressing their deep understanding that the Aethir project has raised a lot of funds and has a strong background. After a month of unsuccessful private communication, they demanded that Aethir give users more rights before investing, and only made it public when the issue remained unresolved. The key points of the statement are as follows:
Promised to break even in 4 months before investment, but changed the rules to break even in 4 years after investment. Can Aethir really survive for 4 years?
Suspicion: Why is the new coin ATH not on the new coin list on OKX?
- Issuing coins, selling nodes, selling physical mining machines, unilaterally changing rules, causing all investment users to lose money: fundraising ($9 million) + nodes ($94.5 million) + mining machines ($6 million) + coin issuance + Web2 income
- Deceiving node users, arbitrarily modifying token rules. We deeply regret that we have not been able to allow our investors who do not trust us to profit. This is the most painful part for us.
- Playing word games, the money for airdrop shares became very little when officially launched. As a cooperating institution, we did not charge any marketing fees, but instead lost $500,000 to purchase nodes.
- Fighting for user rights, threatened when discussing compensation plans. We suggested airdropping compensation to Chinese node users and rewarding bloggers who participated in promotion, but Aethir threatened to discredit us on official Twitter.
Regarding the ATH airdrop results:
The airdrop ratio deployment strategy and market performance have disappointed node holders, causing unbearable suffering for node users.
Before TGE, we did not know that the airdrop ratio had changed. After TGE, node users have to break even in four years.
Simple task interaction can get airdrops, but node users received 30u only after fighting for it.
Aethir believes that we are making trouble without reason, and some bloggers accuse us of colluding with the project party to cut leeks.

Vitalik's EIP-7732 proposal aims to increase Ethereum's operating speed
Ethereum developers have introduced a new Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) EIP-7732, aimed at completely reforming the block validation process and speeding up the blockchain.
The proposal makes significant changes to block validation to enhance the security and performance of the blockchain by dividing the process into consensus and execution.
EIP-7732 responds to the increasing efficiency demands of the Ethereum blockchain and follows Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's push for faster transaction confirmation times. The core element of EIP-7732 is its established proposer-builder separation (EPBS), which divides block creation into the processes of consensus proposer and execution proposer.
Nigeria plans to establish AI and blockchain research centers nationwide
According to Cointelegraph, the Nigerian government, through the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), has announced plans to establish research centers in six geopolitical zones of the country, focusing on key areas including the Internet of Things, blockchain technology, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and robotics.
In addition to funding research, NITDA aims to support Nigerian startups in developing products using these emerging technologies. The agency plans to create innovation sandboxes to help startups develop use cases, establish businesses, and bring products to market.
According to CoinDesk, Presto Labs research director Peter Chung wrote in a report that concerns about the selling pressure resulting from Mt.Gox bankruptcy redemption causing a drop in Bitcoin prices are unfounded, but this may be a bearish situation for Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
The report stated, "Our analysis shows that the selling pressure on BCH will be four times greater than BTC: 24% of BCH's daily trading volume vs. 6% of BTC's daily trading volume." He pointed out that BCH's daily trading volume is one-fifth of BTC's.
Chung stated in an interview that the expected selling of BTC will be limited because anyone wanting to exit can sell their claims in the bankruptcy claims market. Over the past decade, due to active bidding by the claims fund, weak creditors have had many opportunities to exit. Therefore, it can be safely assumed that the current group of creditors consists of staunch BTC bulls. Traders will view BCH as an airdrop and immediately sell it, as the BCH fork occurred three years after the Mt. Gox bankruptcy. Unless there is funding rate risk, going long on BTC perpetual contracts and shorting BCH perpetual contracts is the most effective market-neutral way to express this view. Those wishing to lock in funding rates can explore other methods, such as shorting short-term futures or borrowing BCH in the spot market.
According to The Paper, recently, two Chinese nationals were kidnapped and torn tickets in the Philippines, and the police from three countries are investigating. Currently, the families are still waiting for the autopsy results and the progress of the investigation. The media learned from multiple sources that the two victims were in the medical equipment industry, belonging to different companies. One was a Chinese citizen, and the other was a Chinese-American. They were kidnapped after arriving in the Philippines and were found dead on June 24.
Ms. Yang, the family member of the Chinese-American, stated that the kidnappers had demanded 15 million RMB and converted it into USDT cryptocurrency to be sent to a designated account. Her family did not pay the ransom. The family of Mr. Xia also received similar demands for money and paid a ransom of 3 million RMB.
Upon inspection, the X account suspected to be the well-known actress Fan Bingbing has deleted related tweets about "personal comic IP projects."
Earlier news stated that the suspected Fan Bingbing X account announced the launch of a personal comic IP project, collaborating with several people in the coin circle.
According to Caixin, NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun reduced his company's stock by approximately $169 million in June, marking the largest monthly reduction.
Russia considers permanently legalizing stablecoins for cross-border payments
According to "The Messenger" citing the Russian Central Bank on July 3, the Russian government is considering formally legalizing stablecoins for international transactions to simplify cross-border payments for Russian companies.
According to the report, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (CBR) is actively discussing proposals to allow the use of these crypto assets, which are pegged to stable currencies such as the US dollar or gold, to make them less volatile than other cryptocurrencies.
CBR Deputy Chairman Alexey Guznov confirmed this move, emphasizing the main focus on regulating the entire transaction chain, from transferring these assets to Russia to accumulating and using them for cross-border payments. Guznov stated that this could be established as a permanent regulation rather than a temporary experiment. While stablecoins have similarities with digital financial assets (DFA) and cryptocurrencies, fine-tuning the regulatory framework is crucial due to their unique characteristics and widespread use.
According to the report, stablecoins are considered a promising tool for international settlements, especially in transactions with BRICS countries (including Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa).
South African regulatory agency investigates 30 cases of unlicensed cryptocurrency operations
The Enforcement Division of the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa has established a unit responsible for investigating individuals or entities operating cryptocurrency financial services without proper licenses. Currently, 30 cases are under review.
The FSCA aims to protect the public and maintain industry fairness by taking decisive action against illegal crypto businesses. The regulatory agency will also publish the results of its investigations and issue warnings if unregistered crypto businesses are found. Before classifying crypto assets as financial products on October 19, 2022, the FSCA provided a grace period until November 30, 2023, to submit license applications.
"What are some exciting articles to read in the past 24 hours"
At recent online and offline Chinese-language conferences on TON, a familiar figure, Vivi, the head of research at the TON Foundation, was always seen skillfully solving various problems encountered by users and developers on TON, and was affectionately dubbed the "human database of the TON ecosystem" by the community.
With a technical background and previous service for well-known public chains, Vivi, in an interview with ChainCatcher, mentioned joining TON over a year ago when TON was still being ignored, and there was not a complete set of Chinese developer documentation available in the Chinese community. She personally wrote multiple developer documents.
In the over a year since joining TON, Vivi has completed the transition from behind-the-scenes to the forefront of her career and has witnessed the TON ecosystem go from being ignored to being bustling with activity.
After direct contact with thousands of developers, Vivi proposed a differentiated product guideline to help developers who want to build projects on TON: "If others don't have it, I have it; if others have it, I am better; if others are better, I am cheaper; if others are cheaper, I leave."
Recently, ChainCatcher had a conversation with Vivi, the head of research at the TON Foundation, discussing the foundation's ecological strategy, the relationship between TG and TON, and how developers can build explosive applications.

FOMC Meeting Minutes Suggest No Rush to Cut Rates, BTC Tests $59,500 in the Early Morning
