The Path of Trust in the Web3 World: From Immutable Code to Infinite Repeated Games
In the world of Web3, many people believe that "immutability" is the ultimate guarantee of trust. However, this is just the starting point for building trust, not the end.
For digital assets, the immutability of blockchain indeed provides a fundamental level of credibility. The fact that the total supply of Bitcoin is fixed at 21 million establishes a foundation of confidence for the entire blockchain ecosystem. Similarly, as long as ERC20 token balances, NFT ownership, and cross-chain transfers are recorded on the chain, they possess sufficient credibility, without the need to rely on human or emotional factors.
However, for business participants, financial institutions, protocol developers, and project parties, an immutable ledger is merely a basic function, a threshold for entering this field. What truly inspires trust is not just that it is "unchangeable," but more importantly, that it is "unexit-able."

Financial Regulation and Crypto Market Outlook
Changes in the macro environment

The Importance of Cross-Chain Protocol Security and the Shortcomings of LayerZero
The security issues of cross-chain protocols have received significant attention in recent years. Based on the loss amounts from security incidents that occurred across various blockchains over the past two years, the losses related to cross-chain protocol security incidents rank at the top. The importance and urgency of addressing security issues in cross-chain protocols even surpass the Ethereum scalability solutions. Interoperability between cross-chain protocols is an inherent requirement for connecting the Web3 ecosystem into a network. These protocols often receive substantial financing, and their total locked value (TVL) and transaction volumes are also increasing under the pressure of rigid demand. However, due to the general public's low recognition of these protocols, it is challenging to accurately assess their security levels.
Let's first take a look at a typical cross-chain product design architecture. During the communication process between Chain A and Chain B, specific operations are performed by the Relayer, while the Oracle is responsible for the Rel.

The MEME project is rebounding, with the new BC 404 protocol leading the wave of innovation.
Recently, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a slow rebound, with the MEME project standing out particularly. For investors, this is an important opportunity to seek potential projects and lay out future plans. In this round of the bull market, MEME has become a topic that cannot be ignored. Although part of the reason is that the high valuations of VC projects and unreasonable token allocations have forced funds to shift, the strong user base and consensus inherent in MEME are also key factors in its market favor.
Currently, the market mainly focuses on homogeneous MEME tokens, while there is relatively less attention on NFT forms of MEME. This is mainly due to the limitations in trading liquidity. However, in terms of value representation, MEME is widely circulated precisely because of the "small images," and NFT versions of MEME play an important role in the ecosystem, but they just lack a breakthrough opportunity.
In this context, ERC 404

New Landscape of DeFi Stablecoin Yields: Accelerated Adoption by Institutions, Mature Infrastructure
The yield landscape of DeFi stablecoins is undergoing profound changes. A more mature, resilient, and institution-friendly ecosystem is taking shape, marking a significant shift in the nature of on-chain yields. This report analyzes the key trends shaping on-chain stablecoin yields, including institutional adoption, infrastructure development, changes in user behavior, and the rise of yield stacking strategies.
Institutional Adoption of DeFi: A Quietly Rising Trend
Although the nominal yields of DeFi assets such as stablecoins have adjusted relative to traditional markets, institutional interest in on-chain infrastructure continues to grow steadily. Protocols like Aave, Morpho, and Euler are attracting attention and usage.
