On April 1, Aztec Network, a privacy chain supported by a16z, officially launched AlphaNetwork, becoming the first Ethereum Layer 2 with a complete private smart contract execution environment, previously approved by community governance votes. Aztec integrates privacy at three levels: private data supports confidential transactions and RWA transfers; private identity allows selective disclosure to meet compliance requirements; and private computation conceals on-chain behavior, creating space for privacy-focused DeFi and gaming applications. Contracts are written in the Rust-style language Noir, with privacy logic executed on the user side to generate zero-knowledge proofs, settling approximately every 12 seconds on Ethereum. However, this launch comes with a significant warning, as Aztec disclosed known severe security vulnerabilities, with auditing still ongoing. The team advises users to only deposit funds they can afford to lose.

On April 1, Donut AI announced the launch of its proactive AI trading agent 'D0', which is now available for use on Telegram and the web. The project has previously received investments from institutions such as HSG, Bitkraft, Hack VC, Sky9, and Matrix Partners, and has the support of ecosystems like Solana, Jupiter, and Monad, with a waiting list exceeding 100,000 users. D0 is positioned as a fully autonomous trading terminal operating 24/7, equipped with market monitoring, signal capturing, and risk management capabilities. Users can express their trading intentions through natural language or voice, which D0 interprets to construct orders that are executed on-chain upon confirmation. Additionally, the agent supports personalized style modeling, continuously optimizing execution strategies based on users' risk tolerance, holding habits, and entry preferences. In terms of technical architecture, D0 is powered by D0 CLI, covering real-time data from nine mainstream public chains, supporting HyperLiquid perpetual contracts (229 assets), Polymarket prediction markets, and various DeFi protocols. On the security front, D0 employs a Turnkey non-custodial MPC hardware security module, ensuring complete isolation between the wallet backend and the agent, with the platform not accessing users' private keys.

On April 1, local time, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu delivered a video address stating that while Iran and its supported armed forces "still retain a limited ability to threaten Israel, they can no longer threaten Israel's existence." Netanyahu also mentioned that "in the past, Israel faced Iran alone, but now we are 'fighting alongside the United States'"—referring to what he described as an "unprecedented historic cooperation" between himself and U.S. President Trump, as well as between the U.S. military and the Israeli military. Additionally, Netanyahu stated that Israel is forming new alliances with some "important" countries in the region to address what he termed the "Iranian threat." However, he did not specify which countries were involved or provide further details. (CCTV International News)

According to 1M AI News, the AI lab PrismML, co-founded by Caltech mathematician Babak Hassibi, has emerged from stealth mode and released the open-source 1-bit Bonsai series of large language models. The flagship model, 1-bit Bonsai 8B, features 8.2 billion parameters and occupies only 1.15 GB of memory, which is approximately 14 times more compressed than comparable 16-bit models (around 16 GB). The weights are available for download under the Apache 2.0 license on HuggingFace, along with two smaller models: 4B (0.5 GB) and 1.7B (0.24 GB). Bonsai 8B is a true end-to-end 1-bit model: the embedding layer, attention layer, MLP layer, and output head all represent weights using only +1 or -1, without any high-precision patches. PrismML claims its inference and language understanding capabilities on standard benchmarks are comparable to those of 16-bit full-precision models. The core compression mathematics was developed by the team over several years at Caltech, with the intellectual property owned by Caltech, making PrismML the sole exclusive licensee. The model was trained using Google v4 TPU. Measured speeds include 136 tokens/s on an M4 Pro Mac, 440 tokens/s on an RTX 4090, and approximately 44 tokens/s on an iPhone 17 Pro Max, while standard 16-bit 8B models cannot be loaded onto any iPhone. Energy consumption is reduced by about 4-5 times compared to 16-bit models. PrismML notes that existing hardware is not designed for 1-bit inference, and the speed and energy advantages primarily come from reduced memory usage; if hardware specifically designed for 1-bit operations (requiring only addition and subtraction, without multiplication) emerges in the future, efficiency could improve by an order of magnitude. PrismML has completed $16.25 million in SAFE and seed round financing, with investors including Khosla Ventures, Cerberus Capital, and Caltech. Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, stated that this is 'not a minor iteration, but a significant technological breakthrough, a mathematical breakthrough, not just another small model.'

According to 1M AI News, Google is developing a screenless fitness band under the Fitbit brand, with plans to launch it this year. Insiders reveal that the device will offer basic features, with additional functionalities available through a paid subscription, similar to the subscription models of screenless fitness band Whoop and smart ring Oura. However, Google will charge separately for the hardware, while Whoop relies entirely on subscriptions. NBA Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry teased the device on social media on Tuesday, stating it will open a 'new relationship with health.' Google confirmed that Curry has been 'working with the team to create something special,' with more details to be announced 'soon.' The device features a gray fabric band with an orange lining, closely resembling the current screenless Whoop band. It will connect to the redesigned Fitbit app's AI health coach, a feature that launched in public preview last October, covering scenarios such as menstrual health, mental health, nutrition, and hydration tracking. With the addition of the Pixel Watch and traditional Fitbit product line, Google's wearable lineup will further expand. Google's entry comes as the screenless wearable market heats up. Whoop recently completed a $575 million Series G funding round at a valuation of $10.1 billion, with sports stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James investing personally, and the company plans to go public within two years; smart ring Oura was also valued at $11 billion last year.

According to The Daily Hodl, The CEO of payments giant Visa says that more regulation is needed for the crypto space to regain user confidence after the FTX collapse. In a new interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer, the outgoing Visa CEO Al Kelly says he hopes the downfall of FTX will speed up oversight of the crypto market. “I hope one good thing that comes out of this FTX disaster for their investors and their employees, is that we see an acceleration towards regulation and leaning into good, stablecoin regulation. Because I think that that is what’s necessary to build back confidence for people. And we’ll see over time.” Kelly says Visa is laying the groundwork to offer services involving digital assets as it anticipates a growing demand among business owners and consumers to use credit cards to make crypto transactions. “We are setting up for the reality of crypto potentially having a role in payments and money movement. You know, we don’t pick winners or losers. We ultimately let the consumer and the experience decide. But we’re creating on and off-ramps for crypto players, putting Visa cards in wallets, being able to convert the stablecoin to a fiat currency, and being able to use their Visa card to shop anywhere they want to shop. We’re even working on being able to settle with a merchant at the end of the day who wants to get settled in a stablecoin versus settled in a currency.”
