The token standard supported by Vana’s data: Crypto enthusiasts may have heard of the ERC-20 token standard, which provides guidelines to ensure that the tokens created on the Blockchain of the Ethereum Intelligent Contract are compatible and can interact with other tokens and applications in the network. A similar standard for tokens supported by the data, called VRC-20, has now emerged. Vana, a layer 1 blockchain compatible with EVM which helps users to monetize personal data by bringing it together in Datadaos for the formation of the AI model, introduced the new standard at the start of this week to stimulate confidence and transparency on the digital asset market to support data. The standard design of the VRC-20 includes specific criteria such as fixed rules of the offer, governance and liquidity while ensuring real access to data by linking tokens to the real use of data. In addition, it promotes continuous liquidity with awards that ensure market stability. “It is not speculation. It is a real financial data,” noted Vana on X. Vana launched her Mainnet in December, with Vana as her native cryptocurrency. Since then, the network has integrated more than 12 million data points via several dataadaos, reflecting a high demand for data belonging to users. Datadaos or data liquidity pools are decentralized markets that provide data on the chain as transferable digital tokens. DLPs are the place where the data is provided, tokenized and prepared for employment in applications such as the formation of the AI model. – Omkar Godbole Learn more.
Hashgraph aligns on the private Q3 channel: Hashgraph, the Blockchain Development Company focusing on the Hedera network (Hbar), is building a private and authorized blockchain for companies in highly regulated industries with plans to make its debut in the third quarter of 2025. Hashsphere, built with Hedera technology, aims to reject books Monday. Hashgraph seeks to provide services to asset managers, banks and payment providers in search of low -cost and low -cost interfrontal transactions with stall. While public blockchains offer security and transparency, companies in industries such as finance and payments are often faced with challenges of conformity, in particular with the knowledge of your customer (KYC) and anti-flowage requirements (AML). HashSphere addresses this by restricting access to verified participants, allowing companies to develop tokenized assets, services fueled by AI and other products based on blockchain while meeting regulatory standards. The network also incorporates the existing Hedera tools, including the token service for the management of digital assets and the consensus service for the recording of transactions with confidence horodatages. The platform is compatible with the Ethereum virtual machine (EVM), allowing developers to deploy decentralized applications using Solideity and other EVM languages. – Kris Sandor Learn more.
Asics to be more like servers: At first, there were only CPUs, then GPUs, for the exploitation of Bitcoin. Then came the powerful ASIC in 2013, and with him, the “Shoebox” form factor which has become emblematic of the Bitcoin mining industry. What comes next? ASIC manufacturers are more and more bet on a hydroelectric cooling server rack design to become a substantial part of the bitcoin extraction fleets, leaning on the “direct” cooling for new efficiency gains. Last September, Bitmain announced that its U3S21EX model developed in a partnership with Hut 8. Its U3 design means that a unit occupies three spaces in a traditional server rack. Microbt quickly followed with its Hydro M63 series, as is the hydroelectric unit of Bitdeer’s Sealmin A2. According to the costume, Auradine published her model of servers rack, the AH3880, in March. Its U2 design, which occupies two server locations, is a little smaller, but it contains more hashrate per unit of space at 600 TH / S (or 300 TH / S per location) against 860 TH / S of bitmain (286.66 TH / S per location). The advantage of a Rack Asic server is standardization. Bitcoin minors are walking more and more with the traditional data centers industry, and this industry could see 40% adoption of direct chip cooling by 2026, according to the developer of the Cyrus One data center. If minors adopt this conception, then theoretically, they can optimize their supply chains by converging on servers of servers that become best practices in the Big-Boy data center sector. – Colin Harper, BlockSpace Learn more.
The CEO of Chantyn Ben Fielding: Ten years ago, when he was still a young AI researcher starting his doctorate piece, Ben Fielding explored how the “swarms” of AI – clusters of many different models – could talk to each other and learn from each other, which could improve the collective whole. There was only one problem: he was handcuffed by the realities of this noisy machine under his office. And he knew he was overwhelmed by Google and other major technologies. Calculation constraints would always be a problemHe realized. The solution? Decentralized. Fielding co -founded Chansyn (with Harry Grieve) in 2020, or years before decentralized AI became fashionable. The project was initially known to build a decentralized calculation, but vision is in fact something wider: “the network for machine intelligence”. They build solutions from top to bottom of the technological battery. And now, a decade after the noisy Fielding office has bored its laboratory comrades, human’s first tools are in nature. GENSYN recently published his protocol “RL Swarms” (a descendant of the doctoral work of Fielding) and has just launched his testnet – which brings the blockchain in the fold. Fielding spoke with Jeff Wilser of AI swarms, how the blockchain sinks into the puzzle and explains why all the innovators – not just technology giants – “should have the right to build automatic learning technologies”. – Jeff Wilser Learn more.

- Web3 does not have a dedicated memory layer, which makes its current architecture ineffective and difficult to evolve. The coding of random linear network (RLNC) offers a solution by improving the propagation of data and storage efficiency in decentralized systems. The implementation of RLNC can meet the challenges of the scalability of web3 by optimizing access to memory and data without compromising decentralization, explains Muriel Médard, co-founder of Optimum.

- Ripple, a blockchain service focused on the company closely linked to the XRP LEDGER (XRP), said on Wednesday that it had integrated its stablecoin into the company’s cross -border payment system to stimulate adoption for Ripple USD (RUSD). Select Ripple Payments Customers, including cross -border payment providers, BKK Forex and Isend already use Stablecoin to improve their cash operations, said the company. Ripple plans to further extend the availability of the token token to payments customers. Rlusd reached a market capitalization of $ 2444 million, increasing by 87% in the month. – Kris Sandor reports.

- The American Securities and Exchange commission abandoned or paused on a dozen cases in progress (and lost one) since the American president Donald Trump took over the office a little over two months ago and appointed Commissioner Mark Uyeda as an acting president. Here is an overview of what remains in the dryer application file. – Reports of nik de.
