Today, OP Mainnet's transaction ordering changes for the first time.

For years, the sequencer has had one ordering rule: highest priority gas fee wins. Starting now, there's another option.

Here's what's live, what's changing, and what isn't 🧵

Full ElastOS World Computer v1.0.0 walkthrough. This is the foundation for a new digital economy.

Personal cloud and compute,
Decentralized login,
Decentralized storage,
Decentralized finance and rights (+ smart wallet),
DID Reputation plus DePin DHT networking,
Private AI + API w/Coinbase Wallet Agentkit,
ClawdBot social connectivity,
and so much more!

This represents a step towards a soverign world where you have a digital home you own, rather than renting from a corporate cloud where you own nothing.

What comes next are tokenised markets and @Elacityofficial Internet of Wealth dDRM layer (media markers, dApp store, AI Agent economy). So many months of work, thankyou to everyone from Rong Chen, the Elastos DAO, Anders, Irzhy, Aina, Everlasting, Ahmed, and all partners and community who support myself and team and this milestone.

If you can take the time to watch the walkthrough to understand al the features and logic, it's worth while, otherwise, go test it out for yourself. Its all open-source too! Link incoming...p

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

Elastos halving has successfully taken place! The next is in 2029. Inflation continues to halve until the total supply of 28.22M $ELA is realized in 2105.

The fundamentals are stronger than ever:
• Market Cap: ~$28M
• Security: Over $6B/year via Bitcoin Merge-Mining (60% / 450.00 EH/s today)
• BTCFi: $BTCD stablecoin with >$10M minted
• Tech: ElastOS internet & operational DAO

🚨 Massive security upgrade: The PGP friendchain is leveraging BeL2 for their Bitcoin-backed dollar and tapping into the Elastos network to use the same nodes merged-mining with Bitcoin to guarantee protocol safety.

To secure this premium protection, a new opt-in staking model is coming. 70% of PGP gas fees will flow directly to the $ELA BPoS nodes and stakers guarding the network. This means Bitcoin-backed security for PGP and new real yield for ELA.

Be sure to join the Elastos Telegram and follow the weekly blog updates (links in comments). With many milestones ahead, $ELA remains one of the most interesting Layer 1s since 2018.

在旧金山和郭二宝一起，会见了比特币核心组（BitcoinCore）的关键人物，大家很快达成共识，我们要高举中本聪原教旨主义比特币大旗，坚持去中心化金融推动人类的自由文明尤其是AI智能体经济的未来发展，坚持推进在哈佛创新中心孵化的比特币上的稳定币BTCD。我们决定成立Bitcoin Core中文社区。

今天继续讨论ELA作市计划。Chandler Guo首先关心BTCD治理代币，我介绍双代币模型：ELA+PGA，ELA带来比特币一半算力，通过BPOS质押能获得70%gas分红。PGA是公链代币。SUI上的数据，每铸造100M BTCD每年gas收入14M。Chandler认为这是很好的股票估值模型，ELA又上了Coinbase，将来很机会在美国搞DAT上市。

[Elastos @ElastosInfo]

With just a $30 million market cap and roughly $6+ billion per year in Bitcoin Proof-of-Work security at today’s market rates, ELA is a BTC-secured digital commodity that’s been around since 2018, with a fascinating past grounded in Satoshi’s merge-mining vision.

See Satoshi’s 2010 Bitcoin Forum posts about merge-mining in the replies below.

🔥 Second $ELA halving is getting closer, block by block

We’ve launched a live countdown and a clear knowledge base so you can track every block and understand the full halving schedule.

Elastos 🤝 @PGProtocol

We’re pleased to announce a partnership with the PG Protocol Dubai Foundation

Through the support of the Foundation and Elastos DAO, we will provide infrastructure and technical guidance to strengthen the collaboration ⚡

We are glad to welcome people to explore the innovative features of the newly launched ECO Chain, where this partnership will contribute to a growing and diverse ecosystem 🌱.

[teller.eth @useteller]

1/ DeFi meets Web 3.0 in a big way:

$ELA from @ElastosInfo is now available as collateral on Teller.

This is an intersection where blockchain, peer-to-peer networking, and decentralized storage meet. 🧵

[Elastos @ElastosInfo]

150,000 transactions on ECO Chain in just under 10 days, and we’re just getting started 🔥

[Elastos Web3 (🐘,🔔) @ElastosWeb3]

I'll have to admit, I don't personally understand how massive this can be. The first non-custodial #BTCFi protocol $BTCD uses $ELA as the gas which has been merge mined with Bitcoin since 2018. I keep watching the Bitcoin staking and minting numbers in complete disbelief. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

"I have seen the horrific video of a beautiful, young Ukrainian refugee, who came to America to escape the vicious War in Ukraine, and was innocently riding the Metro in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she was brutally ambushed by a mentally deranged lunatic. The perpetrator was a well known career criminal, who had been previously arrested and released on CASHLESS BAIL in January, a total of 14 TIMES. What the hell was he doing riding the train, and walking the streets? Criminals like this need to be LOCKED UP." -@POTUS

[Sash @sash__mit]

When meeting with Sunny in Beijing, he said great liquidity is coming to ELA, and he was right.

BeL2 infra is being adopted by a large eastern ecosystem who are delivering a new Bitcoin-backed stablecoin. Our Elastos DAO-approved a new BTCFi blockchain and TVL is rising fast.

Welldone to all, the hard work is paying off, Satoshis vision is being realised, digital gold backed money, powered by merged-mined Queen ELA.

[Elastos @ElastosInfo]

Builders keep building. ECO Chain is live, Elacity infrastructure has been upgraded, and the WCI mission extends deep into Beijing and Shanghai... and more! All in one week! 🚀

$ELA moves like this! 🔥

@ElastosInfo Finally. Great stuff from the team.
