Gate News bot message, Deutsche Telekom MMS has become a Nillion privacy-enhancing technology network (PetNet) node operator, being one of the first corporate participants in the initial multi-party computation cluster of PetNet. It is reported that PetNet is a decentralized network built specifically for secure, private data storage and blind computation. It utilizes multi-party computation (MPC) technology, allowing encrypted data to be processed without exposing the underlying information, thus providing a unique privacy-first data processing approach.

Odaily News Messari released a research report, which pointed out that the Decentralization confidential computing (DeCC) field is experiencing explosive rise, with projects in this field having accumulated over $1 billion in venture capital. This influx of capital reflects the industry's growing interest in DeCC technology, and teams are focusing on practical application integration and developer-oriented infrastructure construction. DeCC achieves private computation and state by introducing the ability to protect data privacy while maintaining the inherent transparency of public blockchains, without sacrificing decentralization features. This technology combines cryptographic tools such as Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), Multi-Party Computation (MPC), Garbled Circuits (GC), Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE), and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) with authentication to address critical vulnerabilities that data faces when used in traditional and blockchain systems.

PANews reported on May 9 that according to the Ika announcement, the economic mechanism of the core token IKA for the parallel multiparty computation (MPC) network, which will be launched on the Sui Blockchain, has been officially released. The initial total supply of IKA is 10 billion coins, of which more than 50% will be allocated to the community. The first round of Airdrop will distribute 600 million tokens upon the Mainnet launch. IKA will be used to pay network fees, node staking, security assurance, and decentralized governance, and will implement a dynamic market pricing mechanism based on the computation costs of different encryption operations. The complete allocation plan will be announced before the Mainnet launch.

PANews March 21 news, according to official news, the privacy-focused multi-party computing platform Stoffel MPC has completed a $1.6 million Pre-seed round of financing, led by Eterna Capital and Robot Ventures, with participation from several angel investors. According to the introduction, Stoffel is a platform designed to help developers build privacy-centric applications using multi-party computation (MPC) technology.

On December 19th, Jinshi data reported that Goldman Sachs stated that since the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of the Central Bank of the UK in November last year, the inflation data for the service industry has been slightly stronger than the MPC's prediction, while the latest wage rise data is significantly stronger than expected. However, the economic rise is lower than the MPC's expectations, and survey data shows a significant deterioration in recruitment willingness. Given the mixed performance of the data, we continue to expect that the Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank of the UK will maintain the Interest Rate at 4.75% with a vote of 8 to 1 at Thursday's meeting, and reiterate that the bank believes that taking gradual policy easing measures based on evolving evidence is appropriate.

Ika is a solution based on parallel MPC network, which does not require traditional bridge and can cross multiple chains such as BTC, Ethereum and Solana, providing support for Smart Contract development, achieving institutional-level scalability and security, aiming to be applied in ProgrammabilityBTC, DeFi interoperability, Decentralization custody, chain abstraction and secure AI fence, etc.

Analysis by Berenberg suggests that the market's confidence in the UK Central Bank maintaining a 5% interest rate may be somewhat excessive. While a rate cut is not the base case forecast, the bank expects three MPC members to vote in favor of a rate cut. Additionally, the UK Central Bank may take a more cautious approach to maintain overall portfolio stability. However, there may be risks in accelerating the pace of quantitative tightening.

Golden Finance reported that the full-chain revenue and Liquidityprotocol Solv Protocol announced a strategic cooperation with the institutional encryption asset hosting service provider Ceffu and BTCstakeprotocol Babylon.

(1) According to a report by the Financial Times (FT) on Thursday, Megan Greene, a member of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Bank of England, said that the market currently expects the Bank of England to cut interest rates earlier than the Fed this year, and the rate cut will be greater than that of the Fed, and she believes that it would be better for the UK to start easing policy later. (2) Green wrote in an opinion piece published in the newspaper: "After US CPI inflation was unexpectedly strong in March, the market is now expecting the Bank of England to cut interest rates earlier this year than the Fed, and by a larger margin." ” (3) In an article titled "Markets Must Stop Comparing the UK and the US", Green writes that persistent inflation poses a greater threat to the UK than to the US. (4) She said: "In my opinion, the UK should be some time away from cutting interest rates. ” (5) Money markets are pricing in a 56 basis point rate cut by the Bank of England this year, with a 52% chance of a first rate cut in June, according to the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG). This exceeded investors' expectations for a 44 basis point rate cut in the US, with the Fed's first rate cut expected in September. (6) Green said that the difference in labor supply between the two countries is also very obvious, and the inflation rate of the service sector in the United Kingdom is still much higher than that of the United States. "The overall participation rate in the UK labour market has not yet returned to pre-pandemic trends. In the U.S., participation rates are surpassing pre-pandemic trends. ” (7) The increase in inflation expectations has translated into higher wage growth, which by some measures is currently between 6-7% in the UK and 4-5.5% in the US. Green added, to see
