Onyx宣布推出专为金融机构设计的Layer1区块链Goliath,将提供“与Visa等网络相当的交易速度”。据悉,Visa每秒可处理24,000笔交易。Goliath将使用权益证明(PoS)共识机制来支持高速交易。根据公告,该项目建立在XCN Ledger之上。Onyxcoin已经在Onyx生态系统中将其作为Layer-3汇总解决方案使用。Goliath将作为独立的Layer-1区块链运营,但仍将与现有的金融网络保持互操作性。 此外,Onyx还为该项目制定了关键里程碑。测试网将于2025年第三季度部署,而主网则将于2026年初发布。与此同时,Onyx还在为其Layer-3 XCN Ledger推出积分计划。参与者将从基础区块链向Onyx桥接如WETH、USDT、CBTC和USDC等资产,并获得奖励。虽然Goliath将引入一个新的区块链层,但XCN将继续留在以太坊上。该代币将通过桥接至新网络,以保持与DeFi平台的兼容性。 (PANews)
Odaily Planet Daily News: Placeholder's partners discussed the current cryptocurrency market sentiment, stating that although the market sentiment is sluggish and many people choose to give up due to fear, this is precisely the opportunity for investors. He emphasized that in the history of cryptocurrencies, there have always been people predicting that prices will continue to fall at the bottom, and there are also people worried about chain crashes during forks. At this moment, the market is facing a challenge, but staying calm and patient is the key to coping. He believes that the current situation is a mid-term correction in a bull market, rather than a cyclical peak, and the correction of Bitcoin will not change this view. He suggested that selling at the moment is not a good choice as it may cause you to miss out on opportunities during the upward trend. If there is surplus funds, one can increase holdings appropriately when the market becomes attractive. He also mentioned that although the stock market may still fluctuate, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, as the "war horses" in the financial market, will be most directly affected by policies. Therefore, do not exit the market out of fear or try to make overly smart decisions, otherwise you may miss opportunities when the market rebounds. Finally, he believes that the current moment is exciting for blockchain, which is gradually gaining international recognition and many powerful teams are driving the deep development of this technology.
Placeholder partner Chris Burniske tweeted that the current market sentiment is sluggish, and many people are choosing to sell at low points, but he believes this is an opportunity rather than an end. He believes that this may only be a pullback in the bull market, rather than the peak of this bull market. Even though Bitcoin may continue to decline, selling now may not be a good choice as it could easily miss out on subsequent gains. He suggested that investors stay calm and if they don't know how to operate, they can choose not to look at price fluctuations; If you still have funds on hand, you can consider buying in batches when the market looks very attractive or the sentiment is most pessimistic. He reminded us not to trust those who always trade perfectly, holding potential assets for the long term is the key. Burniske also mentioned that the rise and fall speed of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency assets is the fastest in the financial market. If there is greater volatility in the stock market, policies may intervene, and the cryptocurrency market will be the most sensitive to this reaction. He encourages investors not to miss opportunities due to fear or frequent operations, and is confident in the future of the blockchain industry, believing that institutional entry and technological applications are accelerating.

THORChain, a decentralized protocol enabling users to swap cryptocurrencies across various blockchains, has seen what can be described as an unwanted windfall after the Bybit hack.The protocol processed $4.66 billion in swaps in the week ended March 2, the highest tally on record, according to data source DefiLlama. The tally exceeded the $1 billion mark on Sunday alone.See all newslettersThe surge in activity follows the hack of the crypto exchange Bybit on Feb. 22, which saw the North Korean malicious entity walk away with $1.4 billion in ether. Per observers, the entity used THORChain to swap and launder funds, resulting in a record activity on the platform."Starting from the initial Bybit Exploiter wallet, funds were sent across a further stretching net of wallets. With each 'hop' further from the main wallet, there was an increasing amount of intermediary wallets and the value transfers became smaller and smaller," blockchain analytics firm Nansen said in a report shared with CoinDesk."From hop 2, the hacker started interacting with third-party entities to start swapping and laundering the funds. Entities with the most inflow volume from the hack include THORChain, Paraswap, Mantle, OK DEX and DODO," Nansen added.CoinDesk reached out to THORChain for a comment on the matter.Per onchain analyst EmberCN, hackers have laundered the entire ETH balance in ten days, generating record revenue for THORChain."Hackers have laundered all 499,000 ETH ($1.39 billion) stolen from Bybit, a process that took 10 days. The ETH price has fallen by 23% in the process (from $2,780 to $2,130 today). THORChain, the main channel used by hackers to launder money, also earned $5.9 billion in transaction volume and $5.5 million in handling fees due to hackers' money laundering," EmberCN said on X.
