Network NewsVana’s Data-Backed Token Standard: Crypto Enthusiasts Might Have Heard of the ERC-20 Token Standard, WHICH PROVIDES GUIDELINES TO ENSURE THAT TOKENS CREATED ON THE ETHEREUM SMART WWARTACT BLOCKCHAIN ARERACT and Applications with the Network. A Similar Standard for Data-Backed Tokens, Called VRC-20, HAS NOW EMERGED. Vana, an Evm-Comopatible Layer 1 Blockchain That Helps Users Monetize Personal Data by Bundling It Into Datadaos for Ai Model Training, IntroduCed The New Standard Trust. For Data-Backed Digital Assets. The VRC-20 Standard Design Includes Specific Criteria Such as Fixed Supple, Governance, and Liquidity Rules While Enzuring Real Data Access by Tying Tokens to Actonia Data. Additionally, IT Promtes Continuous Liquidity Through Rewards that Ensure Market Stability. “This isn’t Special. This is Real Financialization of Data,” Vana Noted on X. Vana Launched ITS Mainnet in December, with Vana asa Native Cryptocurrency. Since Ten, The Network Has Onboarded Over 12 Million Data Points Through Multiple Datadaos, Reflection Strong Demand for User-Ref. Datadaos or Data Liquidity Pools Are Decentralized Marketplaces that Bring Data On-Chain As Transferable Digital Tokens. DLPS are any data is Contributed, Tokenized and Made Ready for Use in Applications Such as Ai Model Training. – Omkar Godbole Read More.
Hashgraph Lines up Q3 Private Chain: Hashgraph, The Blockchain Development Firm Focussing on the Hedra (HBAR) Network, Is Building A Private, Permissioned Blockchain for Enterprises in Highly Regled InDustries Witch. Hashsphere, Built with Hedera’s Technology, AIIMS to Bridge Private and Public Distributed Ledgers, Ensuring Compliance with Regulations While Mainting Interperacy, The Component. Hashgraph is Looking to Provide Services to Asset Managers, Banks and Payment Providers Seek Secure, Low-Cost Cross-Border Transactions With Stables .while Publicity Transparency, Enterprises in Industries Like Finance and Payments of Face Compliance Challenges, Particularly with Know Your Customer (KyC) and Anti-Money Launding (Aml) req. Hashsphere Addresses this by restricting accounting to verified Participants, Enabling Firms to Develop Tokenized Assets, AI-Powered Service and Other Blockchain-Basotust. The Network ALSO INTEGRATES HEDERA’S EXISTING TOOLS, INCLUDING The TOKEN SERVICE FOR MANAGING DIGITAL Assets and the Consensus Service for Recorder Transactions Will Timestamp. The Platform is Compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), ALLOWING DELEPERS TO DEPLY DECENTRALIZED Applications USING SOLIDITY AND Other Evm Languages. – Kris Sandor Read More.
Asics to be more like servers: In the beginning, there was only cpus, then gpus, for bitcoin mining. Then Came The Mighty Asic in 2013, and with It, The “Shobox” Form Factor that have become imblematic of the bitcoin mining Industry. WHAT ComES NEXT? Asic manufacturars are increasingly betting on a hydro-conoled server rock design to become a substantant’s potion of bitcoin mining fleets, Leaning into the “Direct-to-to-Toc. Last September, Bitmain Announced ITS Model U3S21Exph Developed in a Partnership with Hut 8. ITS U3 Design Means that One Unit Takes Up Three Spaces in a Traditional Server Rack. Microbt Soon Followed with ITS M63 Hydro Series, As Did Bitdeer’s Sealminer A2 Hydro Unit. Following Suit, Auradine Released ITS Server Rack Model, The AH3880, This March. ITS U2 Design, Who Occupies Two Server Slots, Is A Bit Smaller, But It Packs More Hashrate Per Unit of Space at 600 Th/S (Or 300 Th/S per SLOT) Versus Bitmain The Benefit of A Server Rack Asic Lies in Standardization. Bitcoin Miners Are IncreASINGly Marching in Step with The Traditional Datacenter Industry, and that Industry Cold See 40% Adoptation of Direct Liquid-To-To-Tour Center. If miners adapt this design, then theoretically, they Optimize their Supple Chains by converging on server designs that beekoming Best Practice in the Big-Boy Data Center Sector. – Colin Harper, Blockspace Read More.
Gensyn CEO BEN FIELDING: Ten Years Ago, WHEN HE WAS STILL A JUNG AI RESEARCHER BEGINNING HIS PHD TRACK, BEN FIELDING Explored Hows “Swarms” of AI – Clusters Of Many Different WHICH MIGHT IMPROVE THE COLLECTIVE Whole. There Was Just One Problem: He Was Handcuffed by the Realities of that Noissy Machine Beneath His Desk. And He Knew He Was Outgunned By Google and Other Big Tech. Compute Constraints Wuld Always Be An Issuehe realized. The Solution? DECENTRALIZED AI. Fielding CO-FOUNDED GENSYN (Along with Harry Grieve) in 2020, or Years Before Decentralized AI Became Fashionable. The Project Was Initially Known for Building Decentralized Compute, But The Vision Is Actually Something Wider: “The Network for Machine Intelligence.” They’re Building Solutions Up and Down The Tech Stack. And now, A decade after fielding’s noisy desk Annoyed his Lab-Mates, The Early Tools of Gensyn Are Out in the Wild. Gensyn Recently Released ITS “RL SWARMS” PROTOCOL (A Descendant of Fielding’s Phd Work) and Just Launched ITS Testnet – Which Brings Brings Bringschain Into The Fold. Fielding Talked with Jeff Wilser About Ai Swarms, How Blockchain Snaps Into The Puzzle, and Shares WHY All Innovators – Not Just Tech Giants Technologies. ” – Jeff Wilser Read More.
