In the context of increasingly fierce competition among public chains, Aptos is steadily moving towards its strategic positioning as a "global transaction engine" through technological innovation and ecological expansion. Since breaking through a total locked value (TVL) of 1 billion USD for the first time last November, Aptos reached 1.03 billion USD by the end of March. In addition, the market value of stablecoins also surpassed 1 billion USD for the first time on March 24, with a year-on-year growth of over ten times, demonstrating strong ecological attractiveness and capital bearing capacity.
Against this backdrop, Aptos has not only achieved continuous iterations at the technical level but has also made several breakthroughs in ecological construction: Aave has completed its first non-EVM environment testnet deployment, and the activity in DeFi has significantly increased. To meet the rapidly growing transaction demands, the Aptos team continues to promote Zaptos and Shardin.

Bitcoin surged to $95,490, and the market is holding its breath for Trump's first hundred days in office speech. In the past week, investors have withdrawn over $4 billion in BTC from the exchange, releasing a strong bullish signal.
Trump's policy combination, including the potential establishment of a Bitcoin strategic reserve and the revival of tariff threats, is creating a situation where opportunities and risks coexist. As the stock market faces pressure, Bitcoin is benefiting from the growing demand for safe-haven assets.
On-chain data shows that the exchange's Bitcoin reserves have sharply declined. If market momentum and supply tightening continue, the conditions for breaking through the $100,000 mark are maturing.
Strong rebound on Monday
Bitcoin ( BTC ) rebounded strongly to $95,490 on Monday, coinciding with the market preparing for Trump's hundred-day speech. As the announcement of the cryptocurrency special policy approaches, investors are starting to adjust their positions—on-chain data has begun to show signs.

The year 2024 is a milestone year for the Web3 industry. The market capitalization of Crypto and the adoption of industry infrastructure have both reached unprecedented heights, while at the same time, criminal enterprises have begun to utilize Crypto infrastructure more to optimize their operations or create new criminal paradigms. This report statistically analyzes and discloses the scale of major types of encryption crimes, clarifying the impact of compliance facilities on the scale of criminal enterprises, and calls for the industry and government to pay attention to the harm caused by encryption crime.

Considering that risky activities mainly occur in the Ethereum and TRON networks, Bitrace will use illegal entities in these two networks for receiving and transmitting.

I learned that the analysis of the dilemmas regarding MCP is quite on point, hitting the nail on the head, revealing that the implementation of MCP is a long and arduous journey, and it is not that easy. Let me extend on this:
1) The tool explosion problem is real: the MCP protocol standard has led to an overflow of connectable tools, making it difficult for LLMs to effectively select and use so many tools. No AI can simultaneously master all professional fields; this is not a problem that can be solved by parameter quantity.
2) Document Description Gap: There is still a significant gap between technical documents and AI understanding. Most API documentation is written for humans, not for AI, and lacks semantic descriptions.
3) The Achilles' heel of the dual-interface architecture: MCP, as the middleware between the LLM and the data source, has to handle upstream requests and transform downstream data, which presents an inherent deficiency in this architecture design. When the data source explodes, it is almost impossible to have a unified processing logic.
4) The return structures vary widely: the lack of standardization leads to

Not long ago, the decentralized AI data layer Pundi AI completed its transformation through token swaps and brand upgrades, attracting market attention. As the hype around Web3 AI Agents gradually wanes, this established payment project has demonstrated its determination to break through the transformation and its firm belief in the long-term development of AI.
Recently, PANews interviewed Danny, a core contributor of Pundi AI, who reviewed his entrepreneurial journey from payments to AI, and shared the team's technical solutions, insights into the Southeast Asian Web3 industry, and profound thoughts on the VC model and AI development. From Indonesia's QR code payment experiment to now breaking the global AI data bottleneck, the story of Pundi AI is both a microcosm of technological iteration and a vivid portrayal of innovative exploration in Southeast Asia's Web3.
Indonesia starts its entrepreneurial journey, from QR code payments to
