OpenAI's ChatGPT Health allows users to upload personal medical data but loses HIPAA protections, raising privacy and legal risks. Experts warn that this could lead to data being queried or misused, and regulatory gaps enable tech companies to rapidly expand in gray areas. Users should be cautious when uploading data and follow the principle of minimalism.

Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero announced that Neynar will acquire the Farcaster app, protocol, and Clanker tech stack. The day before, Lens protocol management rights were transferred to Mask Network. The simultaneous handovers mark a new phase in on-chain social, with Vitalik strongly supporting the change, emphasizing the need for teams genuinely interested in social engagement rather than pursuing short-term speculation.

Summary BTC and ETH retraced and recovered from lows; risk-averse sentiment among funds increased, flowing into tokenized commodities, payments, and privacy-focused blue-chip sectors. Solayer established a $35 million ecosystem fund to accelerate the deployment of high-performance on-chain applications. Ondo expanded to Solana, adding tokenized stocks and ETF assets. Vitalik proposed a native Ethereum DVT solution; Mask Network took over the Lens protocol. Ark Invest's "Big Ideas 2026" report predicts that by 2030, the total crypto market cap will reach $28 trillion, with Bitcoin price around $762,000. Market Analysis Market Commentary BTC Market — Over the past week, BTC stabilized after a rapid decline, with the price

Decentralized social protocols Lens and Farcaster have successively changed managers, marking a shift in the industry from technical development to user operation. Mask Network took over Lens, emphasizing product development, while Neynar's takeover of Farcaster continues the ecosystem infrastructure. These changes reflect that decentralized social platforms require more professional product operations to achieve ecological prosperity. Although the market's response has been pessimistic, industry experts believe that the protocols still possess resilience.

Mask Network announces the takeover of the decentralized social protocol Lens Protocol, reflecting the development challenges of decentralized social projects. Lens, launched by Aave's founder, aims to challenge data monopolies, but has fewer active users than expected. Mask Network plans to enhance the decentralized social experience; however, the grand narrative of the entire field has been shattered by reality.

In a decisive move that signals a critical turning point for decentralized social media, Mask Network has assumed control of Lens Protocol, the ambitious SocialFi project originally launched by Aave founder Stani Kulechov. The transition, announced in late January 2026, marks a strategic shift away from building foundational "neutral infrastructure" toward a focused mission of creating "products people actually use." Despite early technical success, garnering over 110,000 profiles and hun

Mask Network fully takes over Lens Protocol launched by Aave founder Stani Kulechov in 2022. Lens has supported over 110,000 accounts and spawned hundreds of applications, but has always struggled to gain mainstream recognition. Mask Network explicitly states: "The next phase is not more protocols, but creating truly user-friendly products."

Cryptocurrency investors' communication on Twitter (now X) is being restricted, with Twitter reducing the exposure of crypto posts by nearly 70%, marking the end of the "Crypto Twitter" era. This change stems from a cleanup of false information and meaningless comments on the platform, and investors need to be cautious of anonymous information, shifting towards more credible real-name discussion platforms. The market is evolving towards a responsible industry model.

IDN Network observed that the failure of Web3 projects is often due to the breakdown of collaborative structures rather than technical issues. The key lies in establishing clear responsibility and decision-making mechanisms, avoiding reliance on "community consensus" or incentives to mask structural flaws. True sustainability comes from a well-defined collaboration framework and role definitions, while technology itself is merely the foundation for implementation.

Original Title: Bitcoin Miners Hunted After Stealing $1 Billion of Electricity From Malaysia Grid Original Authors: Ryan Weeks, Kok Leong Chan, Netty Idayu Ismail Original Source: Repost: Mars Finance In Malaysia’s hotspots for illegal cryptocurrency mining, the crackdown begins from the air. Drones hover over rows of shops and abandoned houses, searching for abnormal heat sources—the typical thermal signals of illegal mining rigs in operation. On the ground, police use handheld sensors to detect unusual electricity usage. Sometimes, the investigative methods are even more primitive: residents report strange bird calls, only for the police to discover that someone is deliberately playing nature sounds to mask the tightly sealed rooms.

In Malaysia, authorities are using drones, handheld sensors, and resident complaints to track illegal Bitcoin mining operations. These miners steal electricity, causing $1.1 billion in losses to the state-owned energy company. Illegal electricity theft for mining in Malaysia has resulted in losses of up to $1.1 billion in electricity costs over five years. According to Bloomberg, in Malaysia's hotspots for illegal cryptocurrency mining, the crackdown begins from the sky. Drones hover over rows of shops and abandoned houses, searching for abnormal heat sources. On the ground, police use handheld sensors to detect unusual electricity usage. Sometimes, the methods are more primitive—residents call the police after hearing strange bird sounds, only for officers to discover someone is playing nature sound effects to mask the roar of mining machines behind tightly closed doors. Together, these tools form a surveillance network targeting illegal Bitcoin miners. In the past five years, authorities have seized about 14,000 illegal mining operations.

Berachain ecosystem project Honeypot Finance announced in late October 2025 that it completed a new funding round valued at $35 million, led by Mask Network, with participation from CatcherVC, Credit Scend, and other institutions. Additionally, the official launch of the Pot Points Pre-TGE plan was announced, which builds a comprehensive community engagement and reward system supported by Snag Solutions technology. Users can earn Pot Points by completing weekly on-chain and social tasks, with the points directly determining their airdrop allocation ratio during future HPOT token Generation Events (TGE). The plan innovatively introduces a multi-layer referral system (direct referrals earn 10% points reward, indirect referrals earn 5%), social engagement rewards, and Discord role multipliers. It also stimulates community activity through weekly ranking competitions and mechanisms such as early access codes for perpetual trading platforms, providing a new paradigm for the cold start of decentralized exchange ecosystems.

Consensys, the Ethereum software company, plans to go public with JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs leading its IPO. A listing could occur by late 2025, amid increasing investor interest fueled by new MetaMask features and the MASK token.

The parent company of MetaMask, Consensys, plans to conduct an initial public offering (IPO) and has hired experienced firms JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs to assist with its planned public offering. MetaMask recently announced the launch of the MASK native Token, perpetual futures trading, and a new rewards system, and has forecasted the upcoming integration of prediction market features with Polymarket.

MetaMask airdrop rumors have resurfaced with the launch of a mysterious claim site, sparking excitement and skepticism in the Web3 community about a potential $MASK token distribution.

The most popular Wallet in the Ethereum ecosystem, MetaMask, has been very active recently. The registration of the new domain "claim.metamask.io" has sparked speculation about an Airdrop, while the wallet's functionality has seen a major upgrade—native support for multi-chain accounts and a 30-fold increase in asset loading speed. From its initial support for a single Ethereum to now covering Solana and planning to expand to Bitcoin, MetaMask is accelerating its full-chain wallet strategic layout. This article will delve into the possibility of the MASK Token Airdrop, the design of the rewards mechanism, and the technical path for its multi-chain expansion.

A newly discovered domain related to MetaMask has once again sparked speculation that the long-rumored MetaMask Airdrop may be on the horizon. A mysterious rewards website has emerged with a password-protected claim portal, fueling widespread belief. Traders on Polymarket currently estimate a 19% chance of a MASK Airdrop occurring before the end of the year, with the likelihood of an issuance in 2025 soaring to 35%.

After the discovery of the new MetaMask domain claim.metamask.io, the encryption community has sparked a wave of excitement about the "MASK Token Airdrop is about to start." With the launch of the MetaMask Rewards loyalty program, the strengthened incentive mechanism of Layer2 network Linea, and the latest hints from Consensys CEO Joe Lubin, MetaMask may be close to launching one of the largest DeFi Airdrops in history.

Q4 cryptocurrency Airdrop is heating up again, with opportunities skewed towards active users. Rainbow has confirmed \$RNBW will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2025, Monad has secured $244 million in funding and created 379 million Wallet Addresses, MetaMask confirms MASK Token will be launched "sooner than expected", and the founder of Base stated they are "exploring Base network Token".

Last Friday (October 10, 2025), due to former US President Trump threatening to impose a 100% tariff on China, global markets were shaken, and the crypto market experienced the "most severe liquidation" in history, with nearly $20 billion in positions being wiped out, and Bitcoin once falling by 17%. Although Trump later sent signals of easing tensions, leading to rebounds in US stock futures, crude oil, and crypto prices, the decline in Asian stock markets and the surge in options market volatility indicate that investors are skeptical about the durability of the "ceasefire." Analysts warn that this rebound may mask deeper liquidity and centralization risks in the crypto industry.

MetaMask announced a major announcement on October 8, launching multiple innovative strategies aimed at transforming from a simple Ethereum Wallet into a one-stop self-custody trading platform. Core initiatives include: collaboration with the decentralized perpetual exchange Hyperliquid to natively launch perpetual futures trading within the mobile application (MetaMask Perps); the first seasonal MetaMask rewards program (points system) to incentivize users' on-chain trading behavior; announcing exclusive integration with Polymarket later this year to enable prediction market functionality; and officially confirming the upcoming issuance of its own token (possibly MASK). This series of updates is seen as a challenge to the mainstream CEX-dominated derivation market and a comprehensive deepening of MetaMask's influence in the DeFi space.

MetaMask has launched a $30 million LINEA rewards program to enhance user engagement and promote genuine blockchain activity on its Layer-2 network. The initiative incentivizes verified participation, with rewards tied to on-chain actions, and hints at future governance with the MASK token.

MetaMask announced that it will launch a $30 million LINEA Token rewards program to encourage users to be active in its ecosystem. The program includes referral rewards and special benefits and may link to future MASK Tokens. Suspected Airdrop rules have been discovered within the community, but the official confirmation is yet to come, and users should remain cautious.

MetaMask will soon launch its native token "MASK" and has revealed the airdrop point calculation method from its GitHub code. Points can be accumulated through both spot and futures trading, and using the LINEA chain will earn double points, which will incentivize user participation. This move will further solidify MetaMask's position in the market.

MetaMask plans to launch a points rewards program in October, rewarding users for trading and staking. These points are expected to influence the future Airdrop distribution of the governance token $MASK . Users need to engage in diverse on-chain interactions to increase their chances of receiving the Airdrop and should be wary of fraud risks, as the official details of the Airdrop have not yet been made public.

The decentralized perpetual trading market is experiencing an unprecedented wave of growth and a reshaping of the competitive landscape. This article explores the phenomenon of power concentration under the surface decentralization of Perp DEX, revealing how capital manipulates the market and users through four mechanisms. (Background: PerpDEX reshuffling moment, how can Hyperliquid still play?) (Background supplement: CZ confirms Aster's connection with former Binance employees, YZi Labs holds shares, perpetual futures DEX track heats up) The core innovation of modern Perp DEX lies in the execution of smart contracts, on-chain transparency, and user self-custody. These technical advantages form the 'decentralized' defensive cloak; however, they often mask deeper power concentration. Power concentration trap: the hidden monopoly of economic models and governance structures. Although the project claims to be community-governed, the token distribution has been problematic from the start.

MetaMask is about to launch the token MASK, with a possible Fully Diluted Valuation reaching $12 billion, and it may even bring the largest Airdrop in history, distributing $2.4 billion to 140 million users. Despite past technical errors, strategies for user participation still suggest seizing the opportunity for pre-purchase and Liquidity Mining.

On September 19, 2025, Consensys CEO Joe Lubin confirmed the MetaMask token launch, stating the MASK token is on its way "sooner than you would expect." This revelation during a podcast interview has sparked excitement in the cryptocurrency community, as MetaMask, with over 30 million users, evolves toward decentralization.

Introduction The U.S. financial market in 2025 is at a fragile equilibrium, with Moody’s latest report revealing a dual tightening of corporate debt dilemmas and the commercial real estate (CRE) market. The risk of corporate debt default has reached an 11-month high, and the delinquency rate on commercial real estate loans has hit a historical peak, while the Federal Reserve's policy signals reflect concerns about deteriorating economic fundamentals. Especially under private equity support, companies are making every effort to avoid bankruptcy under the dual pressures of high interest rates and economic slowdown, using means such as distressed debt exchanges to delay price discovery. Meanwhile, banks are withdrawing from commercial real estate loans, adopting an "extend and pretend" strategy to maintain the book value of assets and mask potential losses. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller has proposed an interest rate cut in July 2025.

Ethena (ENA) continues to assert its strength as it outperforms most of the market in the last 24 hours, rising to the sky 19.6% to $0.7363, becoming the second strongest rising cryptocurrency, according to data from CoinMarketCap. The increasing influx of liquidity is igniting hopes for a significant breakthrough.

MASK trades near $1.21, supported by $1.18 and facing resistance at $1.24. Despite a 15.31% drop in trading volume and slight market cap decline, it shows strength against BTC and ETH. Traders monitor its potential to break resistance amid reduced activity.

Author: Mask A currency war without gunpowder is quietly unfolding on the blockchain. When coffee farmers in Kenya receive USDT payments from German buyers via their mobile phones, when residents in Argentina use dollar stablecoins to replace their plummeting local currency savings, and when citizens in Hong Kong exchange digital Hong Kong dollar stablecoins at compliant exchanges. At the same time, at the Xidan shopping mall in Beijing, Ms. Li used the "tap" function of digital RMB to purchase breakfast offline, without needing any network, with the safety of funds backed by national credit. - These scenarios reflect a profound transformation in the global monetary system, with stablecoins and central bank digital currencies as the two core forms of digital currency, reshaping the fundamental landscape of financial infrastructure. These two seemingly similar digital payment tools represent two paths for the transformation of the global monetary system: stablecoins led by private institutions and central bank digital currencies (CBDC) issued by sovereign states, both in terms of their technical form.

The leading Memecoin platform on Solana, Pumpfun, has intervened in the market, spending $2.3 million to repurchase PUMP tokens within 20 minutes, pushing the price to surge 13% instantly, and bringing the market capitalization back to $2 billion. This repurchase fund comes directly from the platform's transaction fee income, following the token's record fundraising of $1.32 billion. However, market skepticism continues to brew: reports indicate that PUMP still lacks governance rights, dividend earnings, and real application scenarios; monitoring shows that whales sold $12 million during the rebound; its fully diluted valuation of $59.7 billion is 28 times the actual market capitalization. Analysts warn that the repurchase cannot mask the fundamental flaws in the token's economic model.

Author: Mask At the Gulf Financial Regulation and Asset Digitalization Exchange held in Abu Dhabi, financial strategy expert Tian Bangde posed a thought-provoking question to regulatory officials from various countries: "Is the global finance ready to use a set of financial foundational protocols not set by the West?" Behind this issue is the third path being explored by the UAE through a "dual-track" monetary system—coordinated development of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and stablecoins. Meanwhile, in the skyscrapers of Central Hong Kong, the passage of the "Stablecoin Ordinance" by the Legislative Council signals the upcoming licensing system set to launch on August 1st, opening a new window for digital finance in Asia. Stablecoins are the "trading vessels" of the crypto world — as a measure of value and medium of payment on the blockchain, their core mission is to address the high volatility pain points of native cryptocurrencies. Currently, the mainstream models include fiat-backed (such as USDT, USDC), over-collateralized (

According to Deep Tide TechFlow news on July 15, an official announcement noted recent suspicious activities aimed at profiting from users providing liquidity for decentralized exchanges (DEX). Common risk signals include: abnormally high returns, rapid price fluctuations, or excessive promotion of trading activities and incentives. A common strategy is to attract users to provide liquidity through trading rebates or similar incentive mechanisms. These mechanisms can simulate a positive market environment and active trading, but often mask significant structural risks and the potential for sudden price reversals. Based on the above reasons, it is strongly recommended that users pay attention to the following matters: To liquidity pool (LP) providers: Before adding liquidity, please carefully evaluate the project's market cap, fully diluted valuation (FDV), and price fluctuation. Choose your liquidity range wisely, as providing liquidity comes with risks including impermanent loss.
