GetBlock Magazine - Что произошло? Команда протокола алгоритмического стейблкоина UXD на базе блокчейна Solana предложила закрыть проект, в голосовании может участвовать сообщество управляющей им децентрализованной автономной организации (DAO), состоящее из держателей нативных токенов UXP. Разработчики назвали это решение «непростым», поскольку «в прошлом UXD успешно преодолел ряд вызовов, был стабилен и интегрирован в ведущие DeFi-протоколы на Solana». На пике общая заблокированная стоимость (TVL) проекта достигала 40 млн долларов.

Голосование на форуме сообщества

Что еще известно? В рамках сворачивания команда вернет многомиллионный страховой фонд держателям токенов и инвесторам — ожидается, что этот процесс займет до двух лет. Владельцы токенов смогут проголосовать за условия сворачивания, в том числе за способ распределения или уничтожения еще нераспределенных токенов UXP на 10 млн долларов.

UXP был запущен в результате токенсейла на 57 млн долларов, в котором приняли участие 3676 инвесторов. На фоне новости о закрытии проекта курс актива за сутки вырос на 40% и достиг $0,016, что стало максимумом с декабря прошлого года.

Участники DAO смогут проголосовать в течение следующих шести дней. В настоящий момент в пользу решения о закрытии отдано 100% голосов.

Команда объяснила, что приостановила работу над протоколом из-за недостатка ликвидности и интереса, добавив, что продукт «не дает достаточных преимуществ по сравнению с централизованными стабильными монетами».

После предложения о закрытии UXD утратил привязку к доллару США и торгуется по $0,995. Рыночная капитализация актива составляет 7,4 млн долларов. Для сравнения, капитализация крупнейших централизованных стейблкоинов — USDT от Tether и USDC от Circle — приближается к 117 и 35 млрд долларов соответственно.

В рамках своей первоначальной стратегии поддержания привязки протокол UXD использовал децентрализованные биржи (DEX) Drift Protocol и Mango Markets. В результате эксплойта последней в октябре 2022 года UXD потерял 20 млн долларов, и выпуск стейблкоинов был временно остановлен.

UXD в настоящее время поддерживается пулом Credix Fintech, который содержит ряд неликвидных инвестиций, что усложняет процесс погашения стабильной монеты. Команда заявила, что выпустит достаточное количество UXD, чтобы держатели могли обменять свои средства в USDC, хотя на полную ликвидацию резервов уйдут месяцы.

Одновременно держатели UXP могут вывести средства из страхового фонда в течение шестимесячного этапа конвертации токенов.

Запущенный в 2021 году протокол UXD в рамках посевного раунда финансирования привлек 3 млн долларов под руководством Multicoin Capital и при поддержке ныне обанкротившейся Alameda Research, а также CMS Holdings, Solana Foundation и сооснователей Solana Анатолия Яковенко и Раджа Гокала.

With 2 Million Monthly Active Users and $16.5 Million in Total Funding, the Star DeFi Project Zapper Has Finally Fallen

Once a leading DeFi portfolio tracker, Zapper is shutting down on August 3rd, 2026, after nearly seven years of operation. Despite achieving significant scale—with 2 million monthly active users and over $13 billion in processed transaction volume—the project was unable to find a sustainable business model. Founded in 2019 and backed by $16.5 million in funding from investors like Framework Ventures and Mark Cuban, Zapper initially gained popularity by allowing users to track assets across multiple blockchains and DeFi protocols. Its signature "Zap" feature simplified complex multi-step operations. The platform also pioneered an early points system based on on-chain activity. However, as a primarily free tool, Zapper struggled to monetize its large user base. Its revenue from DEX aggregation fees was insufficient against high infrastructure costs for maintaining multi-chain data. Subsequent attempts to pivot, including a social app and an ambitious protocol with a planned token, failed to gain traction in a cooling market. CEO Seb Audet stated the team explored various options but concluded an orderly shutdown was the best path forward. Zapper's closure highlights the challenge for pure utility products in DeFi to bridge the gap between user growth and financial sustainability.

37.7°C Heatwave Paralyzes Cambridge University AI Supercomputer, 350 Research Projects Halted

Cambridge University's national AI supercomputer, "Dawn," was forced offline for over a week due to a record-breaking June heatwave in the UK, where temperatures reached 37.7°C. This failure of the cooling system halted more than 350 critical research projects reliant on the £300 million machine, which features 1024 Intel GPUs and liquid cooling. Impacted work included climate change modeling, Parkinson's disease drug screening, and AI-powered cancer vaccine research, highlighting the vulnerability of essential infrastructure to extreme weather. The incident mirrors similar heat-related outages at Google and Oracle data centers in the UK in 2022. Experts point to a growing challenge: as AI chips become more powerful and generate significantly more heat, data center cooling systems—often designed for historical climate norms—are increasingly struggling against the rising temperatures driven by climate change itself.

Bitcoin Has Yet to Hit Bottom, While Exchange AscendEX Has Already "Run Away"

On July 6, 2026, cryptocurrency exchange AscendEX officially announced it is ceasing operations, with a complete shutdown scheduled for July 1, 2026. The platform cited the full implementation of the EU's MiCA regulation alongside market, financial, and operational challenges. Users can no longer perform most functions, with accounts limited to withdrawal purposes only. Prior to the announcement, on-chain investigator ZachXBT had issued warnings about significant withdrawal delays and a severe lack of high-liquidity assets (like ETH, USDT, SOL) in AscendEX's public hot wallets. Following the news, ZachXBT confirmed that the exchange lacks sufficient liquid assets to process multiple verified seven-figure withdrawal requests. AscendEX acknowledged that all withdrawals now require manual review, with no guarantees on processing times. Chain analysis via Arkham Intelligence shows the platform's marked wallets hold minimal readily accessible funds, with most recent activity being small withdrawals. One highlighted wallet reportedly contains only $13.46 million in altcoins. AscendEX, formerly known as BitMax, launched in 2018 and raised $50 million in a 2021 funding round. However, it suffered a major security breach in December 2021, losing approximately $77.7 million from hot wallets. The exchange compensated users but never fully recovered. The current crisis underscores the inherent risks of centralized exchanges, where poor liquidity management, regulatory pressure, and bear market conditions can trigger a collapse. The event is seen as part of a broader industry shakeout, highlighting the importance for users to prioritize non-custodial wallets or exchanges with transparent proof-of-reserves.

Sevenfold Oversubscription, Can SK Hynix Save the Semiconductor Industry This Time?

SK Hynix's planned US ADR listing is drawing intense interest, with its offering reportedly oversubscribed by over seven times, potentially making it the largest foreign listing in US history. The fundraising of approximately $24.5 billion is intended for expanding its Korean production capacity, including advanced packaging and EUV equipment. This massive demand from long-term funds and prominent institutions like Baillie Gifford and Situational Awareness Partners (led by noted investor Leopold Aschenbrenner) presents a stark contrast to the recent downturn in the broader semiconductor sector. The sector has faced a significant correction, with SK Hynix's own stock falling nearly 30% from its June high. This sell-off was triggered by concerns that major tech giants might slow their AI infrastructure spending, following signals like Meta's reported plan to sell surplus computing capacity. The strong ADR appetite suggests long-term investors still believe in the AI investment cycle's fundamentals, viewing the recent decline more as a valuation reset than a demand collapse. Some market speculation even suggests the pre-IPO price drop could be strategic, setting the stage for a stronger post-listing performance. While SK Hynix's successful listing may act as a short-term positive catalyst for market sentiment, the article argues the true signal for a sustained semiconductor recovery will come from upcoming earnings reports of tech giants like Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon. Their future capital expenditure plans will be crucial in determining whether the AI-driven growth cycle can continue.

Breaking News: Musk Delivers the Most Powerful Grok 4.5, Slashes Price of Top-tier Opus Intelligence Drastically

**Elon Musk Launches Grok 4.5: A Cost-Effective, High-Performance AI Rival** SpaceXAI, in collaboration with Cursor, has released Grok 4.5, its new flagship AI model designed specifically for coding and agentic tasks. Trained on tens of thousands of NVIDIA GB300 GPUs using massive, high-quality data filtered from trillions of Cursor developer interactions, the model emphasizes "per-token intelligence." In benchmark performance, Grok 4.5 is highly competitive. It scores 64.7% on SWE Bench Pro (surpassing GPT-5.5's 58.6% and Opus 4.7's 64.3%), 83.3% on Terminal Bench 2.1 (nearly matching GPT-5.5), and 62.0% on DeepSWE 1.0 (beating Opus 4.8). Overall, it ranks fourth in AAAI official tests and first in the Harvey legal agent benchmark. The model's key advantage is its combination of speed, efficiency, and low cost. It generates responses at 80 tokens per second and, crucially, uses far fewer tokens to complete tasks—4.2 times fewer than Opus 4.8 on SWE Bench Pro. It is priced at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens, significantly undercutting competitors. Musk stated it is "roughly equivalent to Opus 4.7, but much faster." Early user tests show Grok 4.5 can generate functional code for applications like 3D solar system simulators and basic games from simple prompts, though some note it still lags behind top models in certain creative tasks. Musk has hinted at a major update next month, leveraging real-world engineering data from his companies, with an even larger 2-trillion parameter version reportedly in development. Grok 4.5 positions itself not as the absolute strongest model, but as a highly efficient and affordable alternative in the top tier.
