TAO is the native token of the Bittensor network, playing a central role in incentive distribution, network security, and value capture within a decentralized AI ecosystem. Through an inflationary issuance model, staking mechanisms, and subnet based incentives, TAO supports an economic system where AI models compete, are evaluated, and rewarded based on performance.

Zebec is a blockchain-based protocol designed for real-time payments and cash flow management. Its core mechanism combines streaming payments and continuous settlement, allowing funds to move continuously at the second level rather than relying on periodic batch processing.

A Bittensor Subnet functions as an independent AI task marketplace within the network. Each subnet builds its own incentive structure around specific use cases such as text generation, image recognition, or prediction. Through miners supplying models, validators assessing output quality, and dynamic TAO and Alpha token allocation, subnets enable the production and pricing of machine intelligence in a decentralized way.

Gate Exchange for AI provides access to centralized exchange trading systems, while Gate DEX for AI connects AI agents to on-chain decentralized finance environments. These two execution paths differ in transaction routing, custody structure, and operational control. Understanding how these execution architectures work helps explain how AI agents interact with centralized and decentralized financial infrastructure in modern crypto ecosystems.

The x402 protocol is a Web3 API payment standard designed for AI agents that addresses the challenge of paying for API services in automated environments. The protocol builds on the HTTP standard 402 Payment Required status code and combines it with blockchain based payment mechanisms, allowing programs to automatically complete payments and settlement when requesting API services. Through this design, x402 provides new infrastructure for machine to machine service transactions on the internet.

Monad is a high performance, low latency EVM compatible Layer1 blockchain designed to dramatically increase throughput and confirmation speed while preserving full Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility. Rather than relying on Layer2 scaling or modular designs, Monad fundamentally restructures both the execution and consensus layers. Through parallel transaction execution, an optimized BFT consensus mechanism, and an asynchronous block processing model, it delivers architectural level performance breakthroughs beyond traditional public chains.

A comprehensive analysis of the architecture and application scenarios of the Plasma blockchain, exploring how it leverages a native Bitcoin bridge, zero-fee stablecoin channels, and a customizable gas model to build the next-generation Layer 1 infrastructure tailored for global payments.

This article analyzes the breakthroughs in multimodal video generation technology (such as Byte's EX-4D, Google Veo, etc.) and discusses their profound impact on the creator economy and Web3 AI.

Prime Intellect is a decentralized peer-to-peer protocol designed to aggregate computing power from distributed global sources. By tackling the AI industry's computing resource bottleneck, it enables collaborative AI model development. This article explores Prime Intellect’s team background, funding, and core technologies, including its computing marketplace, decentralized training framework (IntelME), and synthetic data generation framework (GENE).

Explore how multidimensional EIP-1559 optimizes Ethereum's gas efficiency by separating resource costs, enhancing scalability, and improving network utilization.

The article delves into the heated debate within the Ethereum community regarding increasing the gas limit, analyzing its potential impact on transaction throughput, gas fees, network activity, DApp development, and Ethereum's "impossible trilemma." It reviews the history of proposals to raise the gas limit, discussing technical considerations such as block size, execution time, validator hardware requirements, and MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) revenue. The article also highlights the risks and opportunities that this change may bring.

This first article takes a look at based rollups—a proposed approach to building rollups that mitigates problems with classic rollups, such as sequencer centralization, liveness risks, and censorship resistance. We'll explore how based rollups work, what benefits they offer, and where the roadblocks to adoption of based rollups lie.

Project89 adopts a new way to design Agent Framework. This is a high-performance Agent Framework for game development. Compared with the currently used Agent Framework, it is more modular and has better performance.

Gate Research (2025.2.1-2025.2.7): On February 1, Uniswap CEO announced that the V4 version will provide lower gas fees for user swaps and increased LP profits. On February 4, Ethereum founder Vitalik indicated that the Pectra upgrade is scheduled for execution in March. On February 4, Movement launched a year-long Cornucopia liquidity enhancement program. On February 6, Syndicate integrated with Alchemy Rollup infrastructure and launched an accelerator program.

TEE technology creates a secure and isolated computing environment to resolve trust issues among communities, developers, and AI Agents. This article explores how Phala Network collaborates with top AI Agent projects to implement TEE in real-world use cases and plans to enhance its token economy to support more applications.
