Resumen

The Casper Association has published "The Casper Manifest," a multi-year technical roadmap for Casper Network. Introduced at the Digital Finance Forum in Bermuda, the roadmap outlines nine coordinated initiatives designed to position the layer-1 blockchain as the infrastructure for regulated real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and the machine-to-machine economy. Key initiatives focus on: 1. **Developer Access:** Adding full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility alongside its existing WebAssembly (Wasm) execution layer. 2. **User Experience:** Implementing gasless transactions, batch operations, and smart accounts with biometric authentication. 3. **Institutional Compliance & Privacy:** Building compliant security tokens aligned with the ERC-3643 standard and a multi-phase roadmap for confidential transactions with built-in audit tools. 4. **Machine Economy:** Implementing the X402 open payment standard to enable AI agents and machines to make autonomous, programmatic micropayments. 5. **Token Infrastructure:** Creating a Native Token Registry to give all tokens protocol-level status with fixed, predictable costs. 6. **Quantum Safety:** Developing hybrid accounts with both classical and quantum-resistant keys. The first initiative, X402 micropayments, is expected within weeks. Subsequent releases through 2026 and 2027 will include EVM compatibility, compliant security tokens, the Native Token Registry, gasless transactions, and quantum-safe features. The goal is...

Nine protocol initiatives that target EVM compatibility, gasless transactions, compliant security tokens, transaction privacy, AI agent micropayments, and quantum-safe cryptography

The Casper Association today published the Casper Manifest, a multi-year technical roadmap designed to make Casper Network the infrastructure layer for regulated real-world asset tokenization and the emerging machine-to-machine economy.

The Manifest was introduced by Casper Association President & CTO Michael Steuer at the Digital Finance Forum in Bermuda, before an audience of leaders from Web3, traditional finance, and institutional finance.

Building on major protocol releases delivered since mid-2025, including Casper 2.0 with deterministic finality and a multi-VM execution layer, the Manifest sets out nine coordinated initiatives around one goal: making blockchain frictionless for users, trusted by institutions, and native for machines. The roadmap brings EVM compatibility to Casper’s WebAssembly foundation, advances gasless transactions and smart accounts for simpler user experiences, and expands the compliance, privacy, micropayment, native token, and quantum-safe infrastructure needed for real-world assets and autonomous systems to operate with greater predictability and less friction.

Building the Infrastructure for Regulated Assets and Autonomous Systems

The nine core initiatives outlined in the Casper Manifest are organized around the following areas:

Access for every developer. The largest blockchain developer ecosystem builds on Ethereum tooling – Solidity, MetaMask, and thousands of audited smart contract libraries. Casper is adding full Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility alongside its existing WebAssembly execution engines, so developers can bring their existing contracts, tools, and wallets to Casper without modification. A native token registry provides equal access to tokens from either side. One chain, two execution environments, zero fragmentation.

Blockchain that’s frictionless for the user. Someone else pays your transaction fees. Multiple steps collapse into a single action. You sign in with your fingerprint instead of managing cryptographic keys. The Casper Manifest delivers gasless transactions, batch operations, and smart accounts that enable biometric authentication – so using a blockchain application feels like using any other app.

Compliance and privacy as one system. Casper will be the first Layer 1 where regulatory compliance and transaction privacy are designed to work together. Compliant security tokens with on-chain identity verification, transfer restrictions, and jurisdictional controls – built in alignment with the ERC-3643 standard that already governs $28 billion in tokenized assets on chain. As a member of the ERC-3643 Association, Casper Association is helping to expand the standard. Alongside compliance, a multi-phase privacy roadmap delivers confidential transactions with fixed, predictable costs – and built-in tools for auditors and regulators to verify compliance without exposing transaction details to the public. Privacy and compliance as two sides of the same system, designed for the $16 trillion real-world asset tokenization market.

Native infrastructure for the machine economy. AI agents need to pay for services programmatically – per API call, per data query, per computation – without subscriptions, invoices, or human intermediaries. As a member of the X402 Foundation, Casper is implementing the X402 open payment standard, enabling machines to pay each other over HTTP in stablecoins and other fungible tokens, expecting to become the first WebAssembly-native Layer 1 with production X402 support. The same smart accounts and gasless infrastructure built for human users give AI agents scoped spending permissions and autonomous operation out of the box, providing best-in-class controls and compliance for AI agents.

Tokens as first-class citizens. User-created tokens on most blockchains are smart contracts that cost significantly more to operate than native currencies. Casper’s Native Token Registry elevates every token to protocol-level status with the same fixed, predictable costs as native transfers. One pricing model for all tokens. One infrastructure layer shared across WebAssembly, EVM and any other future execution environment on Casper Network. The backbone for everything from DeFi to compliant security tokens to private, confidential transfers.

Quantum-safe from the start. No major smart contract platform has shipped post-quantum transaction signing. Casper will, with hybrid accounts that carry both classical and quantum-resistant keys during a transition period. For institutions evaluating blockchain platforms for decade-long deployments, the answer to “what happens when quantum computers arrive” will be production code, not a research paper.

“Much of the industry is focused on either maximizing hype, or iterating on concepts that service the same existing, crypto-native use cases. Few are building the infrastructure that will onboard the next billion users, the next trillion dollars in tokenized assets, or the first billion machines,” said Michael Steuer, President and CTO of the Casper Association. “Executing the Casper Manifest means that developers can bring over their entire EVM stack. For users, blockchain should be invisible. One tap. Done. For institutions, Casper’s roadmap provides on-chain compliance, transaction privacy and quantum safety. And machines need payment rails that don’t require a human, while being bound to spending limits set by their owners on their smart accounts. That’s the future-proof infrastructure Casper is putting in place.”

Timeline

The nine initiatives do not ship all at once. The first, X402 micropayments, is expected to ship in the next few weeks. Later in 2026, Casper will ship EVM compatibility, networking hardening, and compliant security tokens. This will be followed by the Native Token Registry, Gasless transactions, batch operations, and smart accounts. Transaction privacy and quantum safety build on the earlier initiatives, through 2027. Formal protocol enhancement proposals for each initiative will be published.

¿Liberar 100 millones de dólares de liquidez? La nueva política de Pump.fun prueba la táctica de 'pump' de 5 minutos

**Pump.fun lanza el modo BOOST: una "tracción" de 5 minutos para memecoins en lanzamiento** El 21 de julio, la plataforma de lanzamiento de memecoins Pump.fun implementó el modo BOOST como su nuevo mecanismo estándar para nuevos tokens. El objetivo es abordar un problema persistente: aproximadamente el 20% de la liquidez se bloqueaba permanentemente y quedaba inutilizable ("liquidez muerta") cada vez que un token migraba de su curva de bonos a un pool de liquidez, lo que la plataforma estima en más de $100 millones en pérdidas anuales. El funcionamiento de BOOST es directo: en lugar de bloquear ese 20% de fondos (unos 17,6 SOL o 2516 USDC) en el pool de liquidez, la plataforma los utiliza para comprar el propio token durante los 5 minutos posteriores a su migración, utilizando un sistema de precio promedio ponderado en el tiempo (TWAP). Todos los tokens comprados son inmediatamente quemados, creando presión de compra a corto plazo y reduciendo la oferta circulante de forma permanente. La medida no añade liquidez nueva, sino que redirige la que antes se desperdiciaba. Su lógica subyacente es clara: mejorar la experiencia de los traders que buscan un "bombeo" inmediato tras el lanzamiento, con la esperanza de aumentar la retención de usuarios y el volumen de negociación sostenido en la plataforma. Esto, a su vez, podría impulsar los ingresos del protocolo de forma más orgánica. Sin embargo, surgen dudas. Algunos actores del mercado temen que esta presión de compra artificial pueda facilitar el lanzamiento de tokens de baja calidad y crear una ilusión fugaz de éxito. Advierten que, una vez finalizada la compra programada a los 5 minutos, los tokens podrían enfrentarse a caídas bruscas si encuentran fuertes órdenes de venta, intercambiando un riesgo de colapso posterior por un breve espectáculo inicial.

Acciones A malheridas injustamente: Resiliencia, expectativas y confianza

En julio, las acciones tecnológicas globales se debilitaron repentinamente, afectando a mercados como Corea del Sur, Estados Unidos y Japón, lo que también presionó a los sectores tecnológicos de A-shares, con caídas consecutivas en el índice STAR 50 y el índice ChiNext. Sin embargo, este ajuste refleja principalmente la transmisión de riesgos externos, como la reducción del apalancamiento en las acciones coreanas, y no un cambio en los fundamentos. El mercado tecnológico chino es más diversificado que el de Corea del Sur, con narrativas duales: la cadena de suministro global de IA y la sustitución de importaciones en infraestructura de computación nacional. Los datos de ganancias en sectores clave como módulos ópticos y cables de fibra óptica siguen siendo sólidos, respaldando la lógica subyacente de la industria. Ante la volatilidad, el "equipo nacional" (fondos estatales) ha intervenido activamente, con anuncios de inversiones y recompras por cientos de miles de millones de yuanes por parte de empresas estatales, aseguradoras y casas de bolsa. Esto estabiliza la liquidez y las expectativas del mercado, enviando una señal de soporte político. Históricamente, estas intervenciones han coincidido con niveles de piso en el mercado. Más allá de la tecnología, otros sectores claves muestran fortaleza interna. El consumo se beneficia de una inflación al alza (IPC estable por encima del 1%) y signos de recuperación en sectores como el licor, con mejoras en inventarios. Los ciclos, liderados por el aluminio, tienen perspectivas de aumento de precios debido al equilibrio ajustado entre oferta y demanda global, altas ganancias y bajas valoraciones. Los activos financieros, como la banca, ofrecen dividendos estables. En resumen, la corrección tecnológica es un evento impulsado por factores externos. Con la acción estabilizadora del "equipo nacional" y la resiliencia de múltiples sectores (consumo, ciclos, finanzas), que cuentan con fundamentos sólidos y potencial de recuperación, se espera que el mercado de A-shares recupere su estabilidad.

Aún no llega la computadora cuántica, pero ya es un problema el 1,1 millón de bitcoins de Satoshi Nakamoto

Un problema de 1,1 millones de bitcoins de Satoshi surge antes de que lleguen los ordenadores cuánticos. Una herramienta de prueba de conocimiento cero permite migrar fondos de carteras modernas antes de un ataque cuántico, en tan solo 243 ms. Sin embargo, los antiguos bitcoins extraídos antes de 2012, incluidos aproximadamente 1,1 millones de BTC pertenecientes a Satoshi Nakamoto almacenados en direcciones P2PK, no pueden ser rescatados con esta técnica. Estas direcciones antiguas carecen de una ruta de derivación jerárquica (HD), lo que las hace criptográficamente inaccesibles para la solución. Esto plantea un dilema político, no técnico, para la comunidad Bitcoin. Se discuten cuatro opciones, todas problemáticas: 1) No actuar y permitir el robo, desestabilizando el mercado; 2) Congelar coercitivamente los fondos (como sugiere la propuesta BIP-361), violando el principio de propiedad; 3) Limitar severamente los retiros de direcciones vulnerables para ralentizar una venta masiva; o 4) Redistribuir forzosamente los fondos "abandonados" mediante un hard fork, rompiendo la inmutabilidad del libro mayor. El mercado ya está reaccionando a esta incertidumbre de gobernanza. Instituciones como Jefferies han reducido su exposición a Bitcoin citando este riesgo, a pesar de que los ordenadores cuánticos prácticos aún no existen. El verdadero peligro inmediato no es el hardware cuántico, sino la crisis de fe dentro de la comunidad sobre cómo proteger el valor de Bitcoin sin traicionar sus principios fundamentales de propiedad y código inquebrantable.
