Many DePIN projects are kind of funny. They claim to be a decentralized network, but in reality they rent a few data center racks. What runs on the machines and whether the data is being snooped on all depends on whatever the project team says.
In its latest episode, EchoHunt has added an incentive campaign with @Acurast. The prize pool is 200,000 $ACU—about 24,000 U. The first 150 participants get in. I took a quick look at Acurast, and it’s a bit different from most DePIN.
Put simply, Acurast pools idle smartphones worldwide and turns them into a verifiable, privacy-preserving serverless computing network.
Why phones? People often think phone compute power is weak—that’s comparing phones to data centers. What Acurast is doing is something data centers can’t:
Phones ship with a TEE security chip. Even fingerprint payments rely on it. Acurast runs the code inside this isolated zone. The phone owner can’t see the data, and whether the code was tampered with at the hardware level can be proven. After execution, it’s recorded on-chain. Trust doesn’t rely on data center “good character,” but on the chip.
Smartphones are distributed across 100+ countries, and millions of old phones get retired every year. Data centers are concentrated in big companies and cities, but phones are everywhere. For edge inference, content moderation, residential IPs—having geographic distribution is already an advantage.
The bar to join is also low. Install the main rig with a Processor Lite; flash an old Android device into an Acurast Core, plug it in, and run. The official says there are already 300,000+ phone nodes across 100+ countries.
Of course, don’t hype it too far. Phones can’t run large-model pretraining. The Laya model it runs is just lightweight classification/moderation/routing in about 0.2–1 seconds. It’s better to explain what it can do than to say “phones replace supercomputers.”
$ACU is the settlement layer for the whole network: developers pay for compute, nodes earn rewards. Even nodes that aren’t running compute can stake delegated compute to online nodes.

Have you noticed, most trading tools that tout “AI” end up feeling like they’re just playing with a conversational chatbot.
That’s exactly why I found Velvet Capital ( @Velvet_Capital ) so refreshing. It doesn’t indulge in those delusional ideas of “AI automatically making you money.” Instead, it’s truly building an efficiency amplifier for traders:
When you’re monitoring the charts, AI runs in the background to capture on-chain depth, liquidity shifts, and correlations related to positions. It puts BNB Chain, Solana, Hyperliquid—these chains—all into a single interface. For cross-chain liquidity that’s hard to spot with the naked eye, AI helps you compare it side-by-side in the background.
Even more hardcore: it doesn’t just slap a generic model on top. It trains its own cryptographic model using on-chain data. It even opens up an API so other developers can build tools on top of it.
You can tell how clear the team is about what the real difficulty in trading is from their early work on deploying AI agents on Virtuals: it’s never been “buying.” It’s information organization and risk control. When AI is truly stitched into the trading workflow, this is the kind of tool you actually want to use every day.

When you’re viewing charts, the AI works in the background to pick up on on-chain depth, liquidity anomalies, and correlations related to positions. It runs chains like BNB Chain, Solana, and Hyperliquid all in one interface, and for cross-chain liquidity that you can’t really see with the naked eye, the AI helps you make lateral comparisons in the background.
Even more hardcore: it doesn’t just slap a common model on top. It trains its own crypto model using on-chain data, and it even opened up an API so other developers can build tools on top of it.
You can tell the team is very clear about what the real hard part of trading is—it's never been “buying.” It’s information organization and risk control. When AI is actually integrated into the trading workflow, that’s the kind of tool you feel like using every day.
I noticed that many people who are into RWA are stuck in a misconception: they think that if it doesn’t offer a yield or isn’t linked to U.S. Treasuries, then it doesn’t count as RWA.
But the guys who play card games (Pokémon, One Piece TCG) and the collectors of trendy collectibles all know this: collectible RWA doesn’t need to rely on interest payments to tell a story. When people buy cards, they’re buying scarcity, aesthetics, and the shared consensus of their community. It naturally has a real pool of buyers and an added premium driven by emotion.
Renaiss ( @renaissxyz )’s logic is actually very straightforward: it’s not rushing to invent a new concept—instead, it simply patches up the existing offline collectibles market.
Before, people were afraid of counterfeits when buying cards, finding buyers when selling was hard, and valuations were based entirely on gut feeling. What Renaiss does is make the asset status clear, make price indices transparent, and expand the trading radius. It’s built for a group of real players who already exist—not for fabricating chips out of thin air and teaching everyone to trade.
As long as it can make real collectors feel that buying and selling is smoother and prices are more accurate, this whole system can keep running steadily.
Trading on-chain—there are really only three things that can reliably help you make money: information arrives faster than everyone else, analysis goes deeper than everyone else, and execution avoids unnecessary detours.
The core reason I look at Velvet Capital ([@Velvet_Capital]) is that it tries to put all three into a single entry point:
For information: you don’t have to constantly crawl dozens of TG groups—the smart money flow and cross-chain capital are directly aggregated; For analysis: an AI Copilot helps organize momentum and wallet behavior; For execution: it integrates multiple chains—BNB, Solana, Hyperliquid, and more—directly into one interface. In the background it automatically switches networks, saving you time and putting you ahead.
One more quick note on the airdrop: 2,710,049 $VELVET with a snapshot on August 10. You can see the Gem leaderboard by actual interactions and usage frequency.
In fact, the airdrop is just a lure to pull people in. After the snapshot resets to zero on August 10, whether this “information + analysis + execution” tool experience can truly help you earn more and lose less—that’s the real proof that keeps users.
U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett said that aliens have met with humans a long time ago, and the details have even been reported to previous presidents. I just want to ask: why would a species with technology several dimensions ahead choose to cooperate with humans? To them, humans are like ants, perhaps even less than that. Would you choose to establish diplomatic relations with ants? Do they think the scenery on Earth is nice, or do they find that the "traitors" among humans are easier to communicate with? The most ironic thing is that if this is true, humans are still arguing endlessly over territory and interests, which is simply an interstellar joke. Aliens: Stop fighting, I see you all look quite like consumables.
【Essentials】After writing the tweet, there are no accompanying images
30 seconds to create a piece: AI automatically generates tweet images with the "universal formula" 🧵
Many people end up with unsatisfactory images even after writing hundreds of keywords when generating AI images.
Stop just using vague terms like "cyberpunk" and "ultra HD". Let me teach you a simple and efficient universal formula that emphasizes "realism" and "narrative".
Specific breakdown (with examples): 1️⃣ Subject: Who? (For example: a programmer) 2️⃣ Context: Where and doing what? (Typing on the keyboard in an office at dawn) 3️⃣ Perspective: How does it look? (Close-up, cinematic) 4️⃣ Style: What does it look like? (Documentary photography, grainy, cool tones)
Splicing effect: "A programmer, typing on the keyboard in an office at dawn. Close-up, cinematic. Documentary photography, grainy, cool tones."
Practical application: Directly input this into AI.
💡 Prompt tweaking tips: The more specific the subject, the better (gender, age, expression). Using specific artistic forms (watercolor, oil painting, black and white photo) for style is much stronger than using "high definition".
The project was established in 2022 by a Chinese team, creating a one-stop observability platform for Web3. It has previously raised $6.4 million.
Today’s new issuance aims to raise 332.47 BNB (200,000 USD), with a new issuance price of 0.02 USD!
The pre-market price is already 0.1 USD, which is about 4-5 times potential! If 10 million ST (1%) is distributed to 20,000-30,000 people, each person could get around 30-40 USD. Don’t overthink the project right now; just take what you can!
The contracts are all deployed, and the Pre-TGE time is today from 16:00 to 18:00, with the opening time to be announced.

In unfamiliar fields, rapidly transforming from a "novice" to an "expert" relies not on physical strength, but on the path of cognitive breakthroughs.
Many people spend their lives "learning" but never truly "entering" the field. Here’s a top-tier strategic expert's 5-step fast-track framework:
1️⃣ Rapid Input: Reading 10 classic books is far more useful than skimming through 1000 pieces of fragmented information. 2️⃣ Benchmarking Experts: Observe how top performers dissect problems and use their "perfect answers" as a reference. 3️⃣ Practical Results: Theory is abstract; only tangible benefits and results constitute your moat. 4️⃣ Output-Driven Learning: If you can explain it to others clearly, then you truly understand it. 5️⃣ System Reconstruction: Weave fragmented knowledge into a network to form your own methodology.
Stop the low-level repetition, save this logic, and next time cross boundaries to get ahead.

Recently, the毛圈 has really changed; don’t use the old methods to compete anymore. Here are a few straightforward truths:
1. Recognize reality: Points system = Legal PUA The current project parties are very clever, using points to dangle you, tricking TVL and activity, and finally changing the rules as they see fit. Don't treat the project parties as philanthropists; they are here to harvest traffic to report to VC. If a project hasn't secured funding, has vague rules, and keeps making promises, it’s time to cut your losses.
2. Even zero investment has costs; your time is the most valuable Don’t think that not spending Gas means you’re not losing. Staring at Twitter every day, clicking junk links, and joining various DCs, remember, use your spare time to go for zero investment.
3. Quality accounts are the way out Rather than opening hundreds of low-tier accounts that can easily be taken down by a witch, it’s better to carefully nurture a few high-quality accounts with weight, real interactions, and retained funding. The current trend is AI checking for witches; operations that are too mechanical and funds that flow too orderly are just giving away free food.
Stay calm: Countering is normal; winning is like a lottery Today's airdrops are no longer a “hard work leads to wealth” track; they are more like high-difficulty games. It’s quite normal to invest without returns, so don’t let your mindset collapse. Airdrops are just a side job; never treat them as your only lifeline.
It’s 2026; less fantasy, more defense. Use products like a real user, not like a machine spamming data. #空投 #crypto #Web3 #反撸
In recent days, I've been digging into 0-investment projects everywhere and unexpectedly stumbled upon a 0-investment NFT project. As a result, I suddenly recalled the "domestic NFTs" that I spent real money on years ago at various companies and Alibaba's auctions... I specifically pulled them out to take a look, and to my shock, I actually collected 20 or 30 of them, all of which are top-tier "collector's editions" that can't be bought or sold! The project team either directly ran away or softly pulled a fast one. I am simply a lifelong die-hard fan of the domestic NFT industry, the number one loyal buyer, and a top-tier 'leek'. It's hard to put into words; this history of blood and tears could fill a book titled "How I Paid IQ Tax to Domestic NFT Project Teams with RMB"...
