Odaily News Web3 wallet Bitget Wallet has officially integrated Solana Pay to provide global users with a "real-time, low-fee" crypto payment experience. Users can scan the Solana Pay QR code and use stablecoins such as USDC or Solana ecosystem tokens directly in their wallets to complete online and offline payments. This integration was achieved through cooperation with Venta, the payment infrastructure of the Solana ecosystem. This integration is an important part of Bitget Wallet's construction of the PayFi payment system. This function will also adapt to local QR code standards in Southeast Asia, Latin America and other places to accelerate the implementation of Web3 payments. Bitget Wallet will also appear as a major partner at the Solana Summit 2025 held from June 5 to 7, demonstrating relevant payment functions on site and participating in developer workshops and roundtable forums.

Odaily News According to the official announcement, BitMart will launch Lagrange (LA) at 20:00 (ET) on June 4, and the LA/USDT trading pair will be launched. Lagrange has built two core products: a decentralized zero-knowledge prover network (ZK Prover Network) and a zero-knowledge coprocessor (ZK Coprocessor). Lagrange's zero-knowledge prover network is the base layer, providing general proof generation capabilities for various use cases such as rollups, zero-knowledge coprocessing, and cross-chain messaging. The zero-knowledge coprocessor enables developers to prove custom SQL queries on on-chain data directly from smart contracts.

Odaily News According to TRON's official announcement, core developers have reached a preliminary consensus on the mainnet TRX reduction plan.

Odaily News XION, a wallet-free Layer 1 blockchain dedicated to promoting the mainstreaming of Web3, today officially released its flagship mobile development toolkit, Dave, which will open Web3 channels to more than 18 million mobile developers and 5.8 billion mobile users worldwide. Dave supports native iOS and Android. Developers can achieve on-chain identity authentication and interaction through a process similar to Google OAuth without docking wallets or jumping links, truly making blockchain "invisibly" integrated into mainstream apps. This innovation has greatly lowered the threshold for using Web3 applications and truly realized "making Web3 as easy to use as Web2." Burnt Banksy, founder of XION, said, "Mobile has long been a blind spot in the crypto industry, and this is precisely the main entry point for most Internet users. With Dave, developers will be able to create Web3 applications that are as intuitive as Web2, which is an important step in our vision of popularizing Web3." At the same time, XION will launch a developer hackathon competition centered on mobile terminals to encourage developers to use Dave to build truly feasible and user-friendly mobile applications. The competition will last for 6 to 8 weeks and will be open to all Web2 and Web3 developers, ushering in a true wave of popularization of Web3.

Odaily News Movemaker, the official Chinese community of Aptos, has joined hands with alcove, the Chinese developer community of Move, to launch the open source co-construction plan of "Aptos Move Security and General Basic Library", and provide the first round of funding of US$200,000. We sincerely invite ecological project parties, independent developers and security audit teams to jointly build the first standardized smart contract library on Aptos and create the "gold standard component library" of the Aptos development ecosystem. Although the Move language has natural advantages such as modularity and resource security, there are still common problems in the Aptos ecosystem, such as repeated development of basic functions, insufficient security audits, and low collaboration efficiency. This plan will focus on key directions such as access control, module upgrades, DeFi general modules and tool functions, and combine Move's strong type system with Aptos' parallel execution architecture to build a reusable, auditable and modular development base. The project will be funded by Movemaker and coordinated by alcove. It will be fully promoted through the GitHub PR process, Move Prover verification, security audits and bounty incentive mechanisms to create an open and transparent collaboration framework for all Aptos developers.
