Popular Interaction Roundup: Abstract's New Badge Quest; Noise Beta Now Live (April 2nd) This article highlights three key Web3 projects currently offering interactive opportunities: 1. **Abstract**: A consumer-focused Ethereum L2 developed by Pudgy Penguins' parent company, Igloo Inc. It utilizes ZK technology (like ZKsync) for low-cost, high-speed transactions. Users can participate in "The Flash Trader" event by visiting the rewards portal and completing a swap. The event ends in approximately 6.5 days. 2. **Noise**: An attention market platform where users can trade "long" or "short" contracts on internet trends, brands, or ideas based on social data (e.g., X platform热度). Its Beta version launched on April 1st. Access requires connecting a wallet and a $5 payment to start trading trends. 3. **Miden**: A privacy-focused Ethereum L2 scaling solution using a zero-knowledge rollup. It emphasizes privacy and high throughput by executing transactions locally and submitting only proofs to the chain. Users can interact by installing its specific wallet and completing 11 detailed testnet tasks on its playground. All projects represent significant sectors: consumer L2s, prediction/attention markets, and privacy-centric scaling solutions.

ARO Network Raises $5M in Strategic Round to Build “The Agentic Edge”

ARO Network, a pioneer of "The Agentic Edge" for the autonomous AI era, has raised $5 million in a strategic funding round co-led by NoLimit Holdings and an undisclosed leading Asian data center operator. The funding supports ARO's vision to make AI agents more personalized, privacy-preserving, and accessible. The network decentralizes AI by placing agents directly in users' homes, utilizing local resources to create personal digital extensions. This approach aims to overcome limitations of centralized cloud systems. ARO has over 1.18 million active nodes and has launched Testnet Sprint 2, offering a simplified user experience. CEO Randy emphasized ARO's mission to put autonomous, secure AI directly into users' hands, ensuring private, uncensored operation with low latency. The partnership with a major Asian data center will provide enterprise-level infrastructure across APAC.

Arbitrum Sepolia stalls for hours as Nitro issue halts block production

Arbitrum's Sepolia testnet experienced a partial outage, halting block production for several hours due to a suspected issue in its core Nitro infrastructure. The team identified a potential block divergence—where nodes disagree on the chain state—and temporarily paused operations to prevent inconsistencies. No new transactions were processed for 3–4 hours, effectively stalling the network. Developers were advised to pause time-sensitive testing and use alternative environments. The team emphasized that no user funds were at risk, as the issue was confined to the testnet. A new Nitro release is expected to resolve the divergence and restore normal operations.

Robinhood Layer-2 goes live as its crypto revenue drops 38%

Robinhood has launched a public testnet for its Ethereum-based Layer-2 blockchain, Robinhood Chain, built on Arbitrum. The announcement was made at Consensus Hong Kong, marking the first public rollout since its initial reveal last year. The testnet offers developers access to documentation and compatibility with standard Ethereum tools, with infrastructure partners like Alchemy and LayerZero already building on it. Despite reporting record Q4 net revenue of $1.28 billion—a 27% year-over-year increase—the figure fell short of Wall Street expectations. Crypto revenue declined by 38% to $221 million, though crypto trading still saw a 3% quarterly volume increase to $82.4 billion. Net income dropped 34% to $605 million, though earnings per share slightly exceeded forecasts. For the full year 2025, Robinhood posted record net revenue of $4.5 billion, up 52% from 2024, with annual net income rising 35% to $1.9 billion. Revenue from prediction markets and futures surged 375% year-on-year to $147 million, surpassing equity-trading revenue for the first time. Following the earnings report, HOOD’s stock price declined.

Hyperliquid Tests Outcome Trading as Prediction Markets Heat Up

Hyperliquid is expanding into prediction markets with a new product called outcome trading, designed to offer event-based contracts without leverage or liquidation risks. This initiative, proposed under HIP-4, uses fully collateralized contracts structured within fixed ranges to support prediction markets and bounded options-style trading. The feature, currently in testnet, will rely on objective settlement sources and be denominated in USDH. The move comes as prediction markets gain regulatory attention, with the CFTC preparing new rules. Competitors like Polymarket have already attracted significant activity, and recent regulatory approvals are reshaping the competitive landscape among major crypto platforms.

Seed Round Funding of $8 Million: How Does Bulk Trade Dare to Charge into the Red Ocean of Perp DEX?

Bulk Trade, a Perp DEX built on Solana, has raised $8 million in a seed round led by 6th Man Ventures and Robot Ventures, with participation from Wintermute, Chapter One, and angel investors including Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko. The platform differentiates itself by customizing Solana’s validator client architecture to achieve high-speed, CEX-like matching performance while maintaining decentralized settlement. Its core innovation, Bulk-Agave, is a fork of Jito-agave with a dedicated plugin called Bulk Tile that handles order matching and liquidation logic efficiently. Orders are split into fragments and propagated via UDP to minimize latency and packet loss. Matching occurs every 20 milliseconds in structured “ticks” to ensure fairness and prevent front-running. The system also includes self-trade prevention and supports USDC margined perpetual contracts with a central limit order book. Bulk claims advantages in speed (20ms updates vs. 400ms on typical Solana DEXs), real liquidity (orders remain until cancelled), and cost efficiency (no gas fees for orders, batch processing). It emphasizes self-custody, avoiding cross-chain or sequencer risks. Currently in private testnet, Bulk Trade aims to combine near-CEX performance with decentralized security, positioning itself as a high-performance contender in the competitive Perp DEX landscape.
