Since February, I've designed and built the world's fastest RC airplane in my college dorm, and that’s not clickbait. Reaper has a 5kg carbon-fiber frame, 250N turbojet, and flies at 500mph. New to X and will be going through the whole build here in the coming days.

China’s humanoid race just went from factories to feelings.

@UBTECHRobotics launched U1 today, a full-size “hyper-bionic” humanoid companion.

The dance video really feels like the future is finally here.

🔵 1.60–1.85m human-scale bodies
🔵 88 DoF with emotional AI memory
🔵 13k+ orders before mass home delivery
🔵 Designed for companionship, education, and home interaction

This is not the robot maid moment.

It is the first big test of whether humanoids can sell emotion before labor.

Seems like UBTECH finally found a way out of the uncanny valley for hyper-bionic robots.

[The Rollup @therollupco]

Andy asks Kubi why market maker pricing beats Uniswap and Aerodrome's AMM model.

Kubi says it comes down to real time information:

"The most relevant price gets reflected at the top of the block. Everything that interacts with Ethereum after that has the freshest price available."

"Tighter quotes means routers and aggregators look onchain. And then you have the DeFi Lego money network effect."

"It's just a matter of making that liquidity available to everyone onchain. And you naturally have that in a permissionless blockchain ecosystem."

[Ethlabs @ethlabs_org]

Announcing Ethlabs: a non-profit R&D lab for Ethereum and ETH

Our mission is to make Ethereum the settlement layer of the global economy.

The internet became global because shared protocols created a common language between networks. Private systems remained useful, but bounded. Finance is approaching a similar moment. As value, assets, and markets become digital, the world needs shared settlement infrastructure.

Ethereum is uniquely positioned to become that shared base layer, the neutral foundation on which users, institutions, and agents can transact without intermediation.

What we believe:

• We believe credible neutrality matters. Ten years of uptime and the lowest counterparty risk. Ground that cannot be pulled away by any one country, institution, company, or person.

• We believe ETH matters. The most valuable, programmable store of value. A decade of broad distribution, deep liquidity in onchain markets, and maximally trustless asset on Ethereum.

• We believe DeFi matters. Markets, liquidity, credit, exchange, and coordination, open to anyone.

• We believe adoption matters. Principles do not change the world until people benefit from them.

We sit between two worlds: real usage from the builders at the frontier, and the protocol that has to support it. We work with users, applications, wallets, L2s, infrastructure teams, institutions, ETH holders, core devs and researchers, then turn what they actually need into protocol work, shared standards, infrastructure, and shipped products.

Ethlabs is independent but Ethereum is a shared project. We are one node in a much larger network of stewards. This is the multi-node future.

We have spent the better part of the past decade contributing to Ethereum core research and development.

We are opinionated and transparent. We move with urgency, learn in public, and course-correct when we’re wrong.

We are building a lean, talent-dense team for people who want to do the most important work of their careers: [email protected]

ETHGas 深度解析：將 Ethereum 區塊空間商品化，打造即時無 Gas 的未來 🚀⚡

- Ethereum 作為全球最去中心化、流動性最強且安全的結算層，長期以來卻受限於一個核心痛點：區塊空間分配的混亂與低效率。交易需在記憶池（mempool）中競爭，Gas 費用劇烈波動，確認時間約 12 秒，這些摩擦嚴重阻礙了 dApp 使用體驗、機構採用，以及下一億用戶的 onboarding。

- ETHGas 正透過一套完整的即時基礎設施層（realtime infrastructure layer），將這些挑戰轉化為結構化、可交易的資產類別，目標是實現「即時以太坊、隱形 Gas」（Instant Ethereum, Invisible Gas）✨。

它不僅是另一個協議，而是 Ethereum 區塊空間的金融市場奠基者，讓交易從混亂拍賣轉為可預測、即時且可預算的體驗。

一、核心使命與願景 🌟
ETHGas 的使命是推進 Ethereum 成為即時網路（realtime network），消除 Gas 費用帶來的摩擦，解鎖機構級採用，並讓下一億用戶順利上鏈。

他們的願景清晰：
⚡ 交易在毫秒級完成確認（官方展示約 5.3ms）。
💨 用戶享受 gasless（無 Gas 焦慮）體驗。
💎 驗證者與質押者獲得額外收益來源。
🛠️ dApp 能建構更快速、更黏著的產品。

這一切的核心，在於將 Ethereum 區塊空間商品化（blockspace commoditization）——把原本混亂、不可預測的區塊空間，拆解成原子化、可交易的商品。

二、核心創新一：
區塊空間市場（Blockspace Marketplace）🔄
📦 ETHGas 將區塊空間比喻為全球物流系統。

目前的 Ethereum 交易就像在假日寄送普通包裹——你把包裹丟進郵箱，只能祈禱它準時到達，沒有保證。

ETHGas 提供的 Blockspace Commitment（區塊空間承諾），則是升級為「頂級白手套優先空運服務」✈️：
包含保證（Inclusion Guarantee）：就像優先登機證，保證你的交易一定被包含在下一個區塊，不用在記憶池裡苦苦競爭。

執行保證（Execution Guarantee）：更進一步，不僅保證上飛機，還保證抵達後達成特定鏈上結果（例如特定 swap 結果或 NFT 競標成功）。

✅
整區塊承諾（Whole Block Commitment）：最頂級的選擇——你直接包下整架貨機，自行決定區塊內容、排序，甚至可以把多餘空間轉售給其他人。這給予前所未有的控制權與價值捕獲能力。🛫

透過這些承諾，參與者可提前購買未來區塊空間，結合預確認（pre-confirmations）與即時結算機制，讓交易從「希望」變成「保證」。這直接將確認時間從 12 秒縮短至毫秒級，速度提升超過 100 倍，同時大幅降低 MEV（礦工可提取價值）帶來的毒性套利窗口。

三、核心創新二：Open Gas 倡議與 Gas 返還機制 💰

🎁 - 對一般用戶而言，最直接的痛點是 Gas 費用。
ETHGas 的 Open Gas Initiative（開放 Gas 倡議）
讓 dApp / 協議可以贊助或補貼 Gas 費用。

- 運作方式類似咖啡店的會員制度☕： 你在一間合作 dApp 上交易時，照常支付 Gas。但背後由協議或 ETHGas 機制處理，最終你可以在 ETHGas 儀表板一次性領取來自多個協議的 Gas 返還（rebates），以 wETH 形式發放。這讓原本的「必要成本」轉化為「獎勵體驗」。

- 未來還將推出 Gas Hedging（Gas 對沖） 產品，讓 dApp 能鎖定固定 Gas 成本，把波動風險轉為可預測的營運支出。對用戶來說，就是「每次 latte 都只要固定價格，還能累積點數換免費飲料」的無感、愉快體驗。

這正是「隱形 Gas」的精髓：複雜的 Gas 市場在後台被完美管理，用戶只感受到流暢、即時、甚至帶有回饋的 Web3 體驗 ✨。

四、對生態各方的價值 👥📈

終端用戶：結束交易不確定性與 Gas 焦慮，獲得即時確認、預測性執行，以及 Gas 返還獎勵。🎉

dApp 與協議：打造更快速、更具黏著力的產品，實現 gasless onboarding，吸引並留住用戶。🚀

交易者與做市商：獲得精準執行能力與新的 alpha 來源，可交易區塊空間作為流動資產。💹

驗證者與質押者：在標準 staking 收益之外，獲得即時經濟層的新收益來源，同時為 Ethereum 的即時化貢獻力量。💎

五、$GWEI 治理代幣 🪙⚖️

$GWEI 是 ETHGas 協議的原生治理代幣，總供給量為 100 億枚。它讓持有者從被動使用者轉變為積極的生態管理者。

主要功能包括：
質押 $GWEI 獲得 veGWEI（投票託管代幣），享有提案、投票與委託權。

投票權重與質押時長正相關（commitment-based weighting）。

社群可透過治理決定協議參數、資金分配、升級與緊急行動。

支援委託機制，實現流動民主。

ETHGas 也透過 Genesis Harvest（創世收穫） 等社群活動，根據歷史 Gas 消耗（Proof of Pain）與社群參與度進行空投，強調真實用戶而非機器人或刷量行為。官方吉祥物 Gassy Jack 帶領社群走向 gasless 未來 🐡。

六、技術基礎、安全與生態進展 🛡️🌐

ETHGas 建構於 Ethereum 主網，透過 EigenLayer AVS（Actively Validated Service）提供安全保障，已累積超過 100 億美元 TVL（由全球驗證者的 restaked ETH 支持）。協議已通過 Sigma Prime 審計，重視用戶安全與 Ethereum 標準相容性。

生態進展快速：
多個知名協議加入 Open Gas Initiative（如 https://t.co/Vy5LHia8LW、Pendle 等）。

@ether_fi 30 億美元規模的區塊空間供給側支持。
社群已累積數十萬用戶，產生大量 Gas Reports，並持續推出 staking 激勵與活動。📊

七、結語：Ethereum 即時時代的開端 🌅
ETHGas 不是簡單的 Gas 追蹤器或另一個 Layer 2，而是 Ethereum 區塊空間的基礎金融市場。它把原本的摩擦點轉化為可交易資產，讓交易變得即時、可預測且幾乎無感。

隨著 2026 年被定位為「Realtime Ethereum 之年」，ETHGas 正加速推動 Ethereum 從「區塊為基礎」走向「毫秒級執行」，為機構級應用與大規模採用鋪路。

對開發者來說，這是建構下一代 dApp 的新基石；對用戶來說，這是真正接近中心化網路流暢度的 Web3 體驗；對整個生態來說，這可能是 Ethereum 邁向萬億級價值的關鍵基礎設施之一。

Doctors prescribe GUM CHEWING to restart your gut after surgery.

Not a drug. Not a supplement.

GUM. 81 studies. 9,072 patients.

Chewing activates the vagus nerve — the longest nerve in your body, running from your brain to your gut.

It controls stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and movement through your gut. When it stops firing, your digestion slows down.

The human jaw was built to chew for hours a day. You chew for minutes. Your vagus nerve is barely firing.

Mastic gum.

A tree resin from the Greek island of Chios. Used for 2,500 years. The first time you chew it, your jaw will be sore in five minutes. That’s how you know it’s working.

And it doesn’t just activate the vagus nerve — it kills H. pylori, the bacteria behind most stomach ulcers, reduces gut inflammation, strengthens your jaw, and fights bad bacteria in your mouth.

Your digestion didn’t break because of what you eat. It broke because of what you stopped chewing.

I chew it every day. Non-negotiable.

Myopia is something that affects most in the financial markets. Reading headlines all day and chasing trends, it's hard to see beyond what's immediately in front of you.

Having spent a week in NY, sitting down with a number of folks deeply entrenched at the intersection of TradFi x Ethereum, I couldn't be more bullish.

What comes up regularly in discussions is "they just don't know..." And indeed, they don't, but that's ok.

It feels like there may be 5..6 people in the industry who really know how things are going to play out from hereon.

Such a fascinating and exciting time to be in this space.
