According to official sources, Nibiru has completed the code development and security audit for the Nibiru EVM upgrade. The Nibiru EVM upgrade, also known as Nibiru V2, is a "pure incremental" enhancement that makes Nibiru an equivalent execution engine to EVM. This upgrade makes it easier for Ethereum based application development teams to build on Nibiru and use widely used tools such as MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet. It is reported that this security audit focuses on Nibiru's core L1 logic. The team conducted a consultative security audit with Zenith in October 2024, and Code4Rena customized a dedicated audit team for the project to work on specific code repositories and requirements. After addressing potential security issues identified during the audit, the team sponsored a competitive audit conducted by Code4Rena in November 2024. This audit will expand its scope to include Nibiru's Ethereum JSON-RPC, Core L1, and Nibiru EVM. In the ecosystem update in January 2025, the team also mentioned several products to be launched on Nibiru V2, including Oku's Uniswap V3 deployment, Astrovault's cross chain value capture DEX, token based private credit and treasury bond, and cross chain USDC. In addition, based on the upgrade of Nibiru EVM, the team has released the preliminary stage of the "Nibiru Lagrange Point" roadmap, aiming to further enhance Nibiru's scalability, decentralization, and user experience. The Nibiru Lagrange points include: FunToken mechanism: a unified mechanism for EVM and non EVM tokens, without relying on third-party cross chain bridges; Pipeline aware reordering execution (PARK): improving throughput; Optimized validator dynamics in NibiruBFT: including Boneh Lynn Shacham (BLS) signature and novel grouping algorithm to reduce overhead and accelerate block time; Mempool Lanes: Implement orderly transaction flow.
Odaily Planet Daily News: The Brazilian National Data Protection Agency (ANPD) recently ordered Tools for Humanity (TFH), the company behind the biometric technology of the World ID project, to cease providing services to Brazilians from January 25th. Previously, the organization began investigating the World ID project after it was launched in Brazil in November last year. ANPD's law enforcement department reported that providing cryptocurrency as compensation may undermine the effectiveness of users' consent to collect sensitive biometric data, and is concerned that financial incentives may affect people's decisions, especially for vulnerable groups. It also expressed concerns about the sensitivity of biometric data, the irreversibility of data collection, and the inability to delete collected biometric data once provided. (Cointelegraph)
BlockBeats news, on January 27th, according to Bloomberg, US stock index futures plummeted in Asian morning trading on Monday due to concerns that China's DeepSeek artificial intelligence model may disrupt the technology market. As of 10:12 am Hong Kong time, S&P 500 futures fell 1% at one point, and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 1.9% at one point. DeepSeek released an upgraded version of its artificial intelligence model last week, stating that it is comparable to OpenAI's technology. Last weekend, there were reports that the product ran on chips with lower performance and lower costs, which raised doubts about the dominant position of American technology companies such as Nvidia. Nirgunan Tiruchelvam, consumer and Internet director of Aletheia Capital, said that DeepSeek products "seriously violate the argument that" Silicon Valley's investment of huge capital and operating expenses is the most appropriate way to respond to the trend of AI ". It makes people doubt the large amount of resources invested in AI."
