Galxe decided to build its own Layer 1 blockchain platform, Gravity, while Render chose to migrate its token from Ethereum’s RNDR to Solana, renaming it to RENDER. Despite these changes, the two have significant differences in their strategies and implementation methods. Galxe’s rebranding involves not only a technological breakthrough but also an enhancement of ecosystem control and user experience. In contrast, Render Network's rebranding combines token migration with a brand refresh, leveraging Solana's high performance and low latency to improve the efficiency of its rendering services and user experience.

Compared to centralized exchanges, many decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have complex user interfaces and cumbersome operation processes. For users without a technical background, using a DEX may present a higher barrier. Existing limitations include performance bottlenecks, cost and scalability issues, fragmented liquidity, and suboptimal user experience. From a technical perspective, the Vessel protocol can be seen as a state machine consisting of user states (accounts, orders, balances, etc.) and system states (timestamps, price oracles, etc.). Through the cooperation of three components—sorter, prover, and smart contracts—these tasks are carried out sequentially. The ZK system also supports cross-chain operations, making asset transfers and transactions between different blockchain networks more secure and efficient.

How are messages defined and handled in the AO and Nostr networks? What are their network architectures for message transmission, and how do they integrate with other protocols? What are their respective roles, primary applications, and development trends? This article provides an in-depth comparison of the AO and Nostr protocols, focusing on how their structural designs impact functionality, with a detailed analysis of these questions.

As the demand for privacy protection grows, TEE technology has once again become a focal point. TEE provides a secure execution environment independent of the main system, protecting sensitive data and code. Multiple blockchain projects, such as Flashbots, Taiko, and Scroll, are exploring TEE applications to achieve private transactions, decentralized block building, and multi-proof systems. While TEE offers advantages in security and privacy, it still faces centralization risks. In the future, it may need to be compatible with more hardware vendors and set node ratios to reduce reliance on a single supplier, thereby further enhancing decentralization.
