Odaily News Backpack CEO Armani Ferrante recently expressed his views on the Bitget VOXEL token incident on the X platform. He pointed out that exchanges should exist as neutral third parties, and as long as the architecture is well designed, they should not bear trading risks themselves. However, most exchanges currently have structural defects, such as the integration of market makers and exchanges, or the highly opaque underlying architecture, which is similar to a "code black box". Once a problem occurs, it is difficult for the outside to trace the specific cause. Armani emphasized that the core of perpetual contract products is to ensure that the unrealized and realized profits and losses of both long and short parties are completely conserved, and any value leakage may become a systemic defect. To meet this challenge, Backpack innovatively adopted the "Real-Time Settlement" mechanism - completing the actual balance settlement every 10 seconds. This mechanism not only maximizes capital efficiency, but also effectively prevents systemic value leakage, ensuring that profits and losses are dynamically balanced between long and short parties, thereby better protecting user assets. In addition, Armani revealed that Backpack is also developing an exchange Proof of Reserves (POR) system based on Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP), and plans to upload daily verification results to the Solana network to further enhance the transparency of funds and systems.

Odaily News According to official news, B² Network announced the official launch of Mining Squared, a BTC mining pool and interest-earning platform, to promote the intelligent upgrade of the BTC ecosystem. Miners can access the mining pool with one click, subscribe to CeFi, DeFi or RWA interest-earning strategies, and conveniently open the BTC income growth path. Mining Squared will combine FPPS stable settlement and Layer2 + ZKP's secure asset management to break through the limitations of traditional mining pools such as single income and idle BTC assets, and provide miners with more efficient and flexible BTC value growth paths and financial products. B² Network believes that the core value of BTC lies not only in the security consensus built by computing power, but also in its long-term financial potential as a global asset. Mining Squared is an extension of this concept. By releasing BTC's profitability and liquidity value, it helps it transform from a passively held static asset into a financial instrument with stable output capabilities, accelerating BTC's evolution towards a new generation of financial infrastructure.

<p>Odaily News Untangled Finance and Moody’s Ratings have completed a proof-of-concept to move credit ratings on-chain by testing a system that allows decentralized access to Moody’s financial data. The proof-of-concept, conducted on the Polygon Amoy testnet, integrated Moody’s ratings into Untangled Finance’s risk oracle Credio. The system uses zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology to allow credit ratings to be securely issued, updated, and withdrawn on-chain while protecting proprietary information. This development could make risk assessment more transparent and efficient, allowing DeFi protocols and other blockchain-based applications to integrate real-time credit data without relying on centralized intermediaries.

<p>Odaily News ZKP technology startup Ligero has completed a $4 million seed round of financing, which was co-led by Galaxy Ventures and 1kx, with participation from Franklin Templeton, Nascent, Anagram, Robot Ventures, Digital Currency Group and ZKV. The company started this round of financing in March 2024 and ended in July 2024. The structure of the seed round of financing is a simple agreement for future equity (SAFE) with token warrants, with a valuation cap of $20 million. There are currently no plans to launch tokens.

<p>Odaily News DeFi asset management platform UFarm.Digital announced the completion of a $500,000 early seed round of financing. The platform was launched on the Arbitrum blockchain. The new funds will be used to build a privacy-centric privacy layer and support cross-chain. In addition, its roadmap disclosed that it will explore zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology for KYC verification. (businessinsider)<br/></p>

<p>Odaily News Vitalik posted on the X platform: “I support providing ETH holders with a gadget similar to anonymous broadcasting. If you confirm through ZKP that you hold N ETH, you can publish a message every (120 million/N) seconds. In this way, we can avoid social media volume distortion, but we can get the actual public voice representing the ETH holder community, and we can use our own technology.<br/> Hopefully, Farcaster or Lens Protocol can build smart contract-friendly logic so that the entire mechanism can be carried out on their platform without any intermediaries. Everyone wins.”</p>

<p>Odaily星球日报讯&nbsp;Phala Network 宣布其在以太坊上推出首个 Op-Succinct Layer 2 rollup 技术，为区块链可扩展性和隐私性树立了新标准。这项技术将 Optimistic Rollup 框架与零知识证明（ZKP）相结合，提供快速、经济高效且安全的 Layer 2 解决方案。通过利用 Succinct 的 SP1 zkVM，该 rollup 技术实现了第一类 zkEVM 兼容性，确保了与以太坊虚拟机（EVM）的完全等效性，同时将交易最终确认时间从七天大幅缩短至数小时。借助 Conduit 的 Rollups-as-a-Service 平台，Phala 能够快速部署 rollup 技术，避免了昂贵定制基础设施开发的需求。（Cointelegraph）<br/></p>

<p>Odaily星球日报讯&nbsp;零知识证明专家预测，2025 年 ZKP 技术将继续发展并得到采用。他们强调，证明性能和开发人员工具的改进将使该技术在隐私和可扩展性方面更加实用。虽然对该技术的发展方向存在共识，但专家们对未来一年 ZKP 持续增长和采用的因素看法不一。<br/>具体来说，Holonym 联合创始人 Nanak Nihal 预测 ZKP 证明性能将显著提高，这是使该技术在隐私和可扩展性方面实用的关键因素。Nihal 还预计 ZK 开发人员工具将变得更易于使用，从而吸引更多开发人员采用该技术。</p><p>Funtico 首席营销官 Den Manu 与 Nihal 有相同的看法。Manu 还表示，他预计 ZKP 将成为需要隐私和可扩展性的应用程序的“基石”。Nihal 预计 ZK 的客户端将在 2025 年变得“越来越实用”，而 Manu 预计 ZK 协议将在各个平台上广泛集成。</p><p>Funtico 首席营销官补充说，到 2025 年，多层区块链（L2）将严重依赖 ZK-rollups 来最大限度地减少网络负载。据其介绍，这显著提高了交易吞吐量，使区块链应用程序更高效、更易于访问。<br/></p><p>Matter Labs 副总裁兼业务开发主管 Omar Azhar 表示，他预计“核心技术本身将再提高 10 到 100 倍”。Azhar 解释说，这将大大降低生成交易 ZK 证明的成本。关于 ZKsync，他说自两年前推出以来，ZKsync 已经提高了 10 倍，Azhar 称：“预计这种情况将持续到 2025 年。随着 ZKvms 的成熟，我还希望我们不再仅仅局限于 ZKevms，例如即将推出的 ZKsync 新证明器，它将使开发人员能够使用其他语言（如 C++、Rust 等）进行构建。这将为不同类型的应用程序及其规模打开设计空间。”<br/></p><p>然而，Hello Labs 首席执行官 Sander Görtjes 认为，ZKP 作为安全执行的标志“仍将是一个新兴概念”。Görtjes 补充说，他的团队预计“将减少对技术突破的关注”，而更多地关注向公众宣传 ZKP 提供的独特优势。<br/>关于 ZK 协议在金融以外的用途，Görtjes 评估说，该技术能够证明小程序在特定数据上的正确执行，这对于实现医疗保健行业的机密交易至关重要。不过，同行专家 Azhar 断言，在建立大量利用 ZKP 的医疗保健机构之前，需要在“身份方面”取得进展。（Bitcoin.com）<br/></p>
