Ethereum Foundation researcher proposes consensus layer upgrade "Beam Chain," referred to by the community as "Ethereum 3.0"
Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake proposed a new consensus layer upgrade "Beam Chain" at the Devcon conference, referred to by the community as "Ethereum 3.0." The proposal aims to achieve faster block times, lower validator staking requirements, "chain snarkifaction," and quantum-safe improvements. The core of Beam Chain lies in the introduction of technologies like zkVM, significantly enhancing the scalability of the Ethereum mainnet without relying on Layer 2 solutions.
Doug Colkitt, founder of Ambient Finance, stated that the localization of zkEVM could completely eliminate gas limits, allowing nodes to only verify snarks, theoretically achieving infinite scalability for L1. However, this proposal may lead to further centralization of block construction.
Drake emphasized that the final implementation of Beam Chain requires community consensus and called it his "most ambitious proposal to date." He previously resigned from his advisory position due to potential conflicts of interest with EigenLayer.
Satoshi Action Fund founder: Received calls from 5 countries regarding Bitcoin strategic reserves

It is reported that Porter has worked with state and national legislators in the US and supported several states in enacting the "Blockchain Basic Act." The Satoshi Action Fund is an organization that helps legislators formulate and implement Bitcoin policies.

Ethereum developers propose native token-related proposal EIP-7809
Ethereum developer Paul Berg has released a proposal regarding multiple native tokens on Ethereum, aiming to improve the user experience when transferring tokens, make native financial products easier to deploy, and enhance the innovative potential of Ethereum L2 applications.
The proposal, named EIP-7809, suggests adding a backward-compatible extension to the EVM, which, if approved through Ethereum's proposal approval process, would allow fungible tokens to operate with "native-like" properties.
ETH has been operating as Ethereum's native token, and almost all other Ethereum-based tokens are built on this network but do not possess most of the same "native" characteristics as ETH. This limits functionalities such as direct token transfers using opcodes and transferring multiple tokens in a single contract call. EIP-7809 introduces four new opcodes:
- MINT & BURN, allowing token supply management through minting and burning tokens;
- BALANCEOF for checking token balances;
- NTCALL for token transfers that require calling contracts;
- NTCREATE for creating contracts that include upfront token deposits.
Russian President Putin proposes establishing a digital asset platform within the BRICS alliance
Russian President Putin proposed establishing a digital asset platform within the BRICS nations during a speech at the Valdai Discussion Club, aiming to promote electronic payments and attract investment from developing markets through a unified digital asset system. This initiative aims to facilitate investment flows into emerging economies in South Asia, Africa, and Latin America and could provide new channels for capital in high-growth regions.
Putin emphasized the platform's potential to drive economic development in rapidly urbanizing areas. He highlighted the growth opportunities in these regions and noted that population growth, capital accumulation, and rising urbanization rates are factors supporting the platform's focus.
Putin discussed Russia's restrictions on dollar transactions due to sanctions and pointed out that Russia does not intend to completely abandon the dollar. Instead, he criticized the US policies limiting the use of the dollar in international markets and stated that alternatives like the proposed BRICS digital asset platform could reduce dependence on the traditional Western financial system.

Arthur Hayes' new article: "Quantitative Easing under 'Trumponomics' and Bitcoin's Path to a Million Dollars"
On December 31, 2024, what do you think the price of Bitcoin will be? Over $100,000 or below $100,000?
There is a famous saying in China: "It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat; as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat."
I will refer to the policies implemented after President Trump's election as "American capitalism with Chinese characteristics."
The elites ruling Pax Americana do not care whether the economic system is capitalism, socialism, or fascism; they only care whether the implemented policies help maintain their power. The US has not been purely capitalist since the early 19th century. Capitalism means that when the rich make wrong decisions, they lose money. This situation was prohibited with the establishment of the Federal Reserve System in 1913. With the privatization of profits and the socialization of losses impacting the nation, and the extreme class division created between the "deplorable" or "lower class" living in the interior and the noble, respected coastal elites, President Roosevelt had to correct the course by providing some crumbs to the poor through his "New Deal" policies. Just like now, expanding government relief to the underprivileged is not a policy welcomed by the so-called wealthy capitalists.

After breaking through $212, SOL's market cap once exceeded $100 billion.

Kimchi Premium: Key Characteristics and Reasons of the South Korean Crypto Market
The South Korean crypto market has garnered global attention due to its high trading volume and broad participation. In the first quarter of this year, the trading volume of cryptocurrencies in South Korea surpassed that of the US dollar.
This has led to the phenomenon known as "kimchi premium," which represents the price differences between global and South Korean exchanges and manifests in various forms.
The kimchi premium is the result of domestic investors buying heavily in a limited market environment. It serves as a meaningful indicator for understanding the South Korean market.
