PANews August 10 — Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has updated his 2023 roadmap against the current Strawmap, showing that Ethereum’s future development priorities have shifted significantly. First, he has moved quantum security sharply up to a top priority, including aggressive scaling and signature aggregation design under a post-quantum backdrop. Second, for the first time, strong privacy is set as a first-class goal, covering keyed nonces, recent state roots, privacy pools, and solutions such as “wormholes.” Third, leveraging AI-accelerated formal verification, the roadmap aims to “slim down” the specifications and introduces recursive STARKs as infrastructure in multiple places across the execution layer, consensus layer, and data layer. At the same time, new state types are introduced, along with native rollups, blobs, and gas futures, as well as a “post-EVM” design space aimed at new instruction sets such as leanISA and RISC-V.

The proposal has been posted on Snapshot, and voting will close on August 12 at 14:19 (UTC). The required quorum for implementation is 75,000 votes. Community members can vote on Snapshot to decide whether to support separating the Gnosis App from the GnosisDAO ecosystem.
The page display scheme is as follows: GnosisDAO will invest USD 1.5 million in cash and inject a product and IP valued at USD 1 million. Through a SAFE, it will obtain at least 25% equity under a post-money valuation of USD 10 million, while fully separating the Gnosis App from Gnosis Ltd’s annual budget of USD 3.1 million.

It will also continue to drive usage of on-chain and payment networks via Gnosis Pay and Gnosis Chain. The current snapshot voting results show that the yes votes account for approximately 66%.

Stablecoins are increasingly being used for everyday purchases in the form of debit cards.
Crypto payment cards are no longer a novel concept product. In fact, the total monthly spend in this sector has already surpassed $750 million. These crypto payment cards allow users to pay with cryptocurrencies directly at any offline or online merchant that supports traditional card networks. In the transaction backend, the crypto assets used by the user (the overwhelming majority of which are stablecoins) are converted into local fiat currency at the exact moment of checkout settlement. For the merchant receiving the payment, what they get is just a regular card transaction amount, with no awareness that crypto assets are being used behind the scenes.

PANews August 10 reports, citing Crowdfund Insider, that within the German government there is currently discussion as to whether to nominate the current governor of the German Federal Bank, Joachim Nagel, to serve as the next president of the European Central Bank (ECB) in case the current president, Christine Lagarde, may step down early. The news says that the finance minister, Lars Klingbeil, is inclined to support Nagel, but Prime Minister Friedrich Merz has not publicly stated his position yet. Nagel has served as governor of the German Federal Bank since 2022 and has repeatedly publicly criticized unbacked crypto assets, including Bitcoin, calling them "digital tulips." He opposes including Bitcoin in official foreign exchange reserves, and argues that external reserves should meet standards of safety, liquidity, and transparency. If he were to become the ECB president, observers expect him to continue taking a cautious approach toward stablecoins and crypto assets, and to further promote projects such as a "digital euro" to strengthen the euro area’s payment infrastructure and monetary sovereignty.

PANews August 10 news: On Monday, Hasett, director of the National Economic Council at the White House, said he hopes that Federal Reserve Governor Cook is correct in claiming he is not guilty. In an interview, Hasett said, “This is a matter for law enforcement agencies; I will not comment on the details of the allegations against Cook.” When asked whether he might take over if Cook were ultimately removed from his position, Hasett said, “No, I assure you that won’t happen.” Hasett also said that if he were in the Federal Reserve, he would choose to keep interest rates unchanged or cut them, because there are too many supply-side drivers. He noted that recent inflation reports show that prices are easing. Hasett also mentioned Federal Reserve Chair Walsh, saying, “Walsh is well known for being independent.”

PANews August 10 news: According to TechCrunch, materials startup Discovered Materials announced that it has completed a $9 million seed round, with investors including Lightspeed India Partners, Peak XV Partners, and angel investors such as Paul Graham, Gokul Rajaram, and Thariq Shihipar. The company was founded by Advaith Sridhar and Akash Ramdas. It uses a large-scale, Anthropic-based multi-agent system to generate candidate materials, and combines proprietary physics-based models for simulation-driven screening, focusing on semiconductor materials related to chip heating and heat dissipation. The team claims to have discovered several new materials whose performance can match mainstream chip materials. Next, it will apply for patents across GPU applications and process technology layers, and license them to chip manufacturers. Investors believe the current bottleneck lies in correctly filtering and synthesizing materials, rather than simply increasing the number of candidates.
