Last night, ETHGas announced its token economic model and stated that the snapshot for token airdrop eligibility will be taken at 8:00 AM Beijing Time on January 19. Additionally, after the token goes live, Chapter Four: The Genesis Harvest event will commence.

Odaily Planet Daily provides an analysis of ETHGas, its token model, and an interactive tutorial just before the snapshot—simply "connect your wallet" to earn points and potentially qualify for the token airdrop.

ETHGas: A DeFi Project Born to Solve Ethereum's High Gas Fees and Network Congestion

Project Introduction

ETHGas is dedicated to building real-time infrastructure for Ethereum. By partnering with top-tier protocols, it aims to marketize block space, achieving the vision of "Instant Ethereum, Invisible Gas" through 3-millisecond pre-confirmation technology. The core purpose of ETHGas is to address the pain point of high mainnet Gas fees. It collaborates with protocols to partially or fully refund Gas fees to users, significantly reducing or even eliminating Gas costs when using these protocols.

ETHGas completed a $12 million seed round financing on December 17, 2025, led by Polychain Capital, with participation from Stake Capital, BlueYard Capital, Lafayette Macro Advisors, SIG DT, and Amber Group. The project had previously completed an undisclosed Pre-Seed round of approximately $5 million in mid-2024.

Token Model

The total supply of the ETHGas project's token, GWEI, is 10 billion. The allocation is as follows: Ecosystem 31%, Investors 27%, Team 22%, Community 10%, Foundation 8%, and Advisors 2% (specific unlocking details and other fine print were not disclosed).

Token Airdrop Details

According to the latest information from the official Discord, the platform's Beans points snapshot will be taken at 8:00 AM Beijing Time on January 19.

Additionally, interaction points obtained in Discord can be exchanged for Beans points. The snapshot for this is scheduled for 8:00 AM Beijing Time on January 15. Interaction points obtained on Discord on January 16 will be displayed in the user's personal panel on the platform. To ensure a smooth exchange of Discord interaction points, users need to create an account on the platform and link their Discord account by January 15.

Therefore, what needs to be done now is to update your Gas ID. The Gas ID records the user's on-chain Gas consumption, and it is recommended that existing users also reapply.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

STEP 1. Go to the interaction website (Link: https://www.ethgas.com/community/onboarding/) and bind your personal X account.

STEP 2. After entering the main page, click the avatar in the upper right corner to bind your personal Web3 wallet.

STEP 3. Go to the "Gas Report" section, follow the official Twitter, and select "Generate Gas Report" to generate your personal Gas report. It's currently very popular, so you may need to queue and wait.

STEP 4. Return to the main page to view social tasks and referral tasks. Complete the tasks to receive corresponding point rewards.

DRAM ETF Issuer: Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron All Surpass $1 Trillion, the AI Era of Memory Chips Has Only Just Begun

Authors: Dave Mazza, Thomas DiFazio | Source: Deep Tide TechFlow The article, written by Roundhill Investments (issuer of the DRAM ETF), responds to Morningstar's caution about investing in memory chip stocks. Morningstar warns of the sector's history of boom-bust cycles, a lack of economic moats, and potential momentum-driven overvaluation. Roundhill argues the current situation is structurally different due to AI. Key points in Roundhill's rebuttal include: * **Changed Demand & Supply Dynamics:** AI infrastructure, not consumer electronics, is now the primary growth driver for memory demand. New, strict long-term supply agreements with hyperscalers reflect the high capital intensity of advanced manufacturing. * **Existence of a Moat:** High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM), essential for AI, has extremely high manufacturing barriers. The market is dominated by Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron, with new entrants blocked by technological complexity and long lead times for equipment like ASML's EUV machines. * **Strong Fundamental Outlook:** Analyst consensus projects the three companies will rank among the world's most profitable by 2027, with combined profits of $704 billion on over $1 trillion in revenue. Their operating margins have already reached record highs. * **Valuation Re-rating:** Despite significant stock price gains, memory stocks trade at attractive valuations (e.g., a median NTM P/E of 8.37x for the DRAM ETF) relative to projected explosive EPS growth. Roundhill suggests historical valuation frameworks may no longer apply given the new profitability paradigm. Conclusion: Roundhill contends the rally is justified by fundamentals, marking a structural shift for the memory industry into a new era of sustained, AI-driven demand against constrained supply, rather than a repeat of past cycles.

EF's Epic Reorganization: 20% Layoffs, Budget Halved, Is Ethereum Gearing Up for a Leaner Future?

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has announced a major organizational restructuring, involving a 20% staff reduction (approx. 54 employees) and a division into functional clusters like Protocol, Access, User, Community, and Institutional layers. Co-founder Vitalik Buterin further revealed plans to cut the EF's budget by around 40% over the coming years, aiming to reduce its annual spending rate from about 15% to roughly 5% by 2030, transitioning to an endowment-driven model. This overhaul is seen as a long-overdue correction to the EF's ambiguous role. As Ethereum grew, the foundation faced persistent criticism over ETH sales, perceived lack of execution, and unclear strategy, often becoming a focal point for community frustration amid ETH's price stagnation. The reform aims to redefine the EF's boundaries, narrowing its focus to core protocol research, public goods funding, and ecosystem coordination, while offloading more applied development work to the broader market. Concurrently, ecosystem forces like the newly formed Ethlabs (founded by ex-EF researchers) and other independent groups are stepping in to fill the space, signaling a shift from a centralized model to a more distributed, collaborative ecosystem structure. The move was notably praised by Solana co-founder toly, who viewed a "leaner" EF as potentially more decisive and agile.

Dragonfly Partner Haseeb: The Fastest-Growing Companies of the Future May All Get Stuck at 149 Employees

Dragonfly partner Haseeb explores the distorted economics of AI model pricing, drawing parallels to tax policy. He notes that startups and small teams (under 150 users) enjoy heavily subsidized, fixed-price AI subscriptions (like Claude Code), where the marginal cost of an additional token is effectively zero. This creates a powerful incentive for them to maximize token usage ("token-maxxing") and innovate aggressively with AI automation. In contrast, large enterprises (over 150 users) are forced onto "Enterprise" plans, paying per-token API fees with high (~75%) markups. This acts like a steep "tax" on AI-powered labor, disincentivizing marginal automation and experimental use, and encouraging them to retain more human workers. Haseeb argues this pricing creates a "150-person cliff," a regulatory notch similar to labor laws in France that discourage firms from growing past 50 employees. He predicts the fastest-growing future companies may deliberately cap their headcount at 149 to avoid the punitive enterprise pricing. This would foster an "AI-first" management philosophy obsessed with automation and outsourcing to stay lean. While not intentionally designed, this bifurcated pricing could become one of the most influential de facto tax policies, shaping how AI replaces labor—not through mass layoffs at big firms, but through agile, AI-native startups outcompeting them.

How xBubble Breaks Through in the VC-Heavily-Backed OPC Economy

xBubble: Addressing the Structural Gap in the VC-Backed OPC Economy The concept of OPC (One Person Company) is evolving from a buzzword to a significant AI-driven market. While AI coding tools like Replit and Lovable have validated demand from non-technical users wanting to build applications, a key gap remains: the leap from creating a demo to running a stable, evolving business. These tools still require users to manage the development process, including technical judgments for integrations, modifications, and deployments—a major hurdle for OPCs. xBubble, by DAPPOS, tackles this by shifting from "Prompt-to-Code" to "SOP-to-Business." Instead of generating code from instructions, its core is a system of pre-organized SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) that translate business goals—like "sell World Cup merchandise"—into complete, executable workflows. This includes generating cohesive assets, pages, payment systems, and backend logic. The platform is augmented by a network of third-party service providers who handle infrastructure (hosting, domains, payment setup), acting like "on-site service engineers." Users can pay for these services directly with xBubble credits, simplifying onboarding. This ecosystem aims to deliver not just an app, but a complete, modifiable business launch path. xBubble targets a clear OPC segment: small commercial nodes (e.g., creators, merchants) with existing products, customers, or channels, but for whom a full tech team is unjustifiable. Its potential lies in SOPs accumulating expertise from real cases, improving reliability and reducing delivery costs over time. Additionally, its native support for crypto payments caters to global or digital-native OPCs. In summary, as AI democratizes software creation, xBubble's opportunity is to prove that "SOP-to-Business" provides more immediate value for launching a real, operational business than a powerful but unstructured AI coding tool.

Dragonfly Partner Haseeb: Why the Fastest-Growing Companies of the Future May All Stagnate at 149 Employees

Dragonfly partner Haseeb analyzes AI service pricing, particularly Anthropic's model, as a form of "tax policy" on AI labor. He observes a stark contrast: small companies (under ~150 users) benefit from low or zero marginal cost via flat-rate subscriptions, incentivizing them to maximize AI usage ("tokenmaxxing"). In contrast, large enterprises pay per-token API costs with high (e.g., 75%) markups, creating a disincentive for experimental or marginal automation. This pricing cliff at 150 users acts like a regulatory notch, potentially causing the fastest-growing AI-native companies to artificially cap their headcount to retain subsidized rates. Consequently, large-scale direct AI-for-human substitution within big corporations may not happen as expected; instead, job displacement may occur indirectly as lean, AI-heavy startups outcompete and erode their market share. The article concludes that token pricing, though not designed as such, functions as a powerful de facto tax policy shaping company structure and automation incentives.
