Arbitrum: Activate the Elara upgrade to provide optional compliance screening and priority fee functions for the dedicated chain

Comparatively, according to The Defiant, Arbitrum activated the ARBos 61 Elara upgrade on August 20, adding optional protocol-level transaction screening, priority fee support, and alternative data availability interfaces to the dedicated chain, and adjusted Arbitrum One's basic fee management and expanded Stylus contract capacity. The compliance screening function is disabled by default. Chain owners are required to actively configure an external compliance service provider (such as TRM Labs or Chainalysis) and set rules to double execute through simulated transactions and on-chain protection mechanisms. The priority fee function is also disabled by default and requires the chain owner to enable it through pre-compilation. Priority fee collection on Arbitrum One still requires a separate DAO vote. Elara also introduced the BaseFEeManager contract, which allows Offchain Labs to adjust the base fee within 0.01 to 0.1 gwei approved by the DAO, which is valid for two years. Stylus contract code size limit increased from 24KB to 96KB, not applicable to Solidity contracts.

Arbitrum promotes ZK settlement, and L1 withdrawals are expected to be shortened from days to hours

Comparing news, the Arbitrum development team said that zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs are being introduced into the Arbitrum platform to achieve a multi-proof settlement model. Through ZK certification, the settlement time for the Arbitrum block to Ethereum L1 is expected to be shortened from a few days to a few hours. While improving the capital efficiency of users, cross-chain bridges, and protocols, security is maintained through multiple proof mechanisms. The relevant capabilities target Arbitrum One and dedicated chains based on the Arbitrum platform, and Offchain will submit an upgrade proposal to the DAO in the future. Current developments include: it is possible to run the same state transition function as optimistically in SP1 zKVM to generate ZK proofs for real mainnet blocks; Stylus' WASM contract can be proven along with Solidity contracts; the team launched an independent Rust validator to make ZK certification a first-class model in parallel with standard verification; the BoLD settlement protocol already supports acceptance of ZK proofs and endorsements by the Quick Confirmation Committee. The original controversial game is still a fallback path, forming ZK proofs, proof committees and fraud Multi-proof architecture to prove collaboration. The team says it's continuing pressure drop to prove the cost and gradually incorporate the relevant code into Nitro's main production path. The next focus includes further optimizing certification and moving to Ret-based execution, completing L1 message inbox attestation, and connecting ZK settlement capabilities to node configurations so that each chain can be enabled as needed.

Don't bet 100 times more, just look for “cash bulls”: What other projects are worth investing in in a bear market?

Source: Odailey Planet Daily Author: Asher Original title: Don't guess 100 times the coin, only bet on “cash cow”: What other projects in the bear market are worth investing in? The bear market only buys the most profitable items on each track, and the bull market then goes after short-term hot spots. Core point of view: In the context of the downturn in the crypto market, this article has selected four issued projects, Pump.fun, Hyperliquid, Uniswap, and Chainlink. They have shown profitability through a bear market with stable agreement revenue, providing a more realistic reference target for long-term investment. Key elements: 1.pump.fun's revenue in the past 30 days was 41.53 million US dollars, with a cumulative total of about 256 million US dollars in the first 7 months. The revenue depends on the popularity of Meme transactions on the Solana chain, but the average monthly cash flow capacity of tens of millions of dollars is outstanding. 2. Hyperliquid's cumulative revenue for the first 7 months was about US$352 million, surpassing Pump.fun. In June, it reached a new high of 60 million US dollars during the year. The revenue mainly comes from perpetual contracts and spot transaction fees. 3. Hyperliquid uses approximately 99% of the agreement fee to repurchase and destroy HYPE tokens, forming a simple investment logic of “profitable and continuous repurchase”. 4. Uniswap has earned 5.6 million US dollars in the past 30 days. It is the most profitable DEX. It accumulated about US$28.4 million in the first 7 months, benefiting from the official opening of the agreement fee after the implementation of the Unification proposal and its use for UNi's destruction. 5. Chainlink's revenue in the past 30 days was 4.57 million US dollars. The monthly revenue was stable in the range of 4.4 million to 5.8 million US dollars. The revenue came from service fees such as oracles and cross-chain services, and the cumulative transaction value facilitated reached 32.18 trillion US dollars. Since this year, the crypto market has continued to be sluggish. There aren't no hot spots on the chain; every once in a while, there are a few burgeoning memes, but these quotes often focus on new coins that have just been issued and hardly give the market time to fully study. Once the story ebbed down, prices quickly dropped back down. Most players who got on the bus halfway ended up losing money and making little money. Since blindly guessing the next 100 times the coin makes little sense. A more realistic investment logic is: if you are preparing to invest slowly in a bear market and wait for the next round of the bull market to return, what other projects are worth buying now? Compared to simply reading the story, a more direct screening criterion is whether the project itself still makes money or not. If a platform can still earn millions or even tens of millions of dollars in revenue every month in the crypto bear market, it at least indicates that users and demand are still there, and the project also has a stronger ability to cross the cycle. This type of platform token won't necessarily be the altcoin with the most exaggerated rise in the next round of the bull market. So, since this year, what other coin issuing projects have continued to make money? (The revenue data for the project in this article comes from Tokenomist and DeFilLama. The revenue caliber is uniformly adopted, that is, the actual revenue of the agreement after deducting distribution to supply-side participants such as LPs.) Pump.fun: The “shovel seller” on the meme circuit earns money from round after round of coin issuance boom. Apart from the two major stablecoin issuers Tether and Circle, Pump.fun is one of the most profitable crypto native projects in the past 30 days, with a revenue of 41.53 million US dollars. Looking at monthly data, Pump.fun's revenue from January to July was 51 million US dollars, 40 million US dollars, 38.1 million US dollars, 32.4 million US dollars, 32.4 million US dollars, 34.4 million US dollars, 26.6 million US dollars, and 33.7 million US dollars, respectively, with cumulative revenue of about 256 million US dollars for the first 7 months. Pump.fun's revenue peak was high at the beginning of the year, then the overall decline was evident in April and June, and there was some recovery in May and July. The core of Pump.fun's revenue comes from continuous trading of SGD on the platform. Currently, users are free to create tokens themselves, but trading during the Bonding Curve phase requires transaction fees. According to Pump.fun's latest rate, Bonding Curve's total fee rate is 1.25% per transaction, of which 0.95% goes to the agreement and 0.30% is distributed to token creators. Additionally, when tokens graduate from Pump.fun and enter PumpSwap, a graduation fee of 0.015 SOL will be charged. Pump.fun's revenue still depends on Solana's on-chain meme activity. When the on-chain market is lukewarm, revenue drops significantly, and recovers quickly when popularity picks up. But from the perspective of a bear market, it can be at 7...

Offchain Labs Co-Founder: Arbitrum's Decisions Have Been Questioned, and the Industry Is Aligning in Its Direction

Comparing news, Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder tweeted that Arbitrum has always been ahead of the times in many ways. The team strongly advocated interactive proof design (controversial at the time, now an optimistic Rollup standard); chose to establish a business when the business model was still highly controversial; focused on DeFi when most people didn't understand perpetual contracts and many people abandoned DeFi; and launched a dedicated blockchain when the industry generally thought no more chains were needed. Every time they have faced a rebound, but now the industry is aligning themselves in the direction they started from day one: building a robust and high-performance financial infrastructure. Goldfeder is proud that the Offchain team delivered world-class products extremely quickly, and said they will continue to deliver, even if most people don't currently understand the need, and the industry will soon understand.
