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.

Amazon Invests Additional $25 Billion in Anthropic, AI Infrastructure 'Arms Race' Escalates

Amazon announces an additional investment of up to $25 billion in Anthropic, with $5 billion delivered immediately and the remaining contingent on performance milestones. This follows a recent $50 billion investment in OpenAI, highlighting Amazon's strategy of backing leading AI labs. The deal includes a commitment from Anthropic to spend over $100 billion on AWS infrastructure over the next decade, securing up to 5 gigawatts of computing power to address growing demand and capacity constraints. Anthropic’s annualized revenue has surpassed $30 billion, but the company faces infrastructure strain due to rapid user growth. The investment will support scaling Claude’s capabilities using Amazon’s custom Trainium and Graviton chips. The move deepens integration between Anthropic and AWS, allowing Claude to be accessed natively within AWS services. Over 100,000 organizations already use Claude via Amazon Bedrock. This investment is part of a broader AI infrastructure race, with Amazon planning around $200 billion in capital expenditures this year, largely focused on expanding AI compute capacity.

A New CEO Who Has Worked Exclusively with Hardware for 25 Years Takes Over Apple, Valued at 4 Trillion

Apple, the world's most valuable tech firm, has appointed John Ternus as its new CEO, effective September 1, replacing Tim Cook who transitions to executive chairman. Ternus, a 51-year-old mechanical engineer with 25-year tenure at Apple, previously served as senior vice president of hardware engineering. Known for his low public profile and lack of social media presence, he played key roles in developing products like the iPad, AirPods, and led Apple’s transition from Intel to in-house silicon chips. Ternus takes over a company valued at $4 trillion, with Cook having multiplied Apple’s revenue and built a $100 billion services business. However, he inherits significant challenges: Apple’s AI efforts, including the delayed Siri revamp powered by Google’s Gemini, remain unproven, and the company is preparing to launch its first foldable iPhone amid supply constraints. While Ternus’s hardware expertise positions him well for product-driven innovation, his lack of software/AI experience raises questions about Apple’s competitiveness in the AI era. The company’s structure has been adjusted to support him, with Cook remaining in an advisory role. Ternus’s engineer-led approach—emphasizing humility and collaboration—may prove vital in navigating Apple’s next chapter.

Atkins' First Year at the Helm of the SEC: A Comprehensive Shift in Crypto Regulation

Paul Atkins marked his one-year anniversary as Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 21, 2025, overseeing a significant shift in the agency’s approach to cryptocurrency regulation. Under his leadership, the SEC dropped multiple enforcement actions against crypto firms, approved several crypto-linked ETFs, and issued guidance clarifying that most cryptocurrencies are not considered securities under federal law. The SEC also signed a memorandum with the CFTC to improve regulatory coordination. These actions reversed the aggressive enforcement stance of his predecessor, Gary Gensler, and aligned with Trump administration promises to support the crypto industry. However, Atkins has faced criticism from Democratic lawmakers, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, who raised concerns over potential conflicts of interest, particularly regarding dropped cases linked to Trump-affiliated companies. While regulatory clarity has improved, the SEC still awaits congressional action to formally define its jurisdiction over digital assets.

a16z: 5 Ways Blockchain Can Help AI Agent Infrastructure

Blockchain technology provides critical infrastructure for AI agents by addressing five key challenges: 1) Non-human identity: AI agents lack standardized, portable identity systems. Blockchain enables verifiable, cross-platform agent identities (like "Know Your Agent" frameworks) through cryptographic credentials and on-chain registries. 2) AI governance: When AI systems execute decisions, blockchain ensures transparency and prevents centralized control by recording actions on-chain and enabling auditable execution logs. 3) Payments: Stablecoins and crypto payments (e.g., x402, MPP) serve as default settlement layers for agent-to-agent commerce, enabling frictionless, programmable transactions for "headless" AI-native businesses. 4) Trust and verification: As AI scales, blockchain provides cryptographic proof of origin and auditable histories, making verification—not intelligence—the scarce resource. 5) User control: Crypto-native tools (e.g., delegation toolkits, intent-based architectures) allow users to set boundaries and maintain oversight over autonomous agents, minimizing blind trust. Together, blockchain and AI can create an economic infrastructure built on transparency, accountability, and user sovereignty.

You Bet on the News, the Pros Read the Rules: The True Cognitive Gap in Losing Money on Polymarket

The article explains that the key to profiting on Polymarket, a prediction market platform, lies not just predicting real-world events correctly, but in meticulously understanding the specific rules that govern how each market will be resolved. It illustrates this with examples, such as a market on Venezuela's 2026 leader, where the official rules defining "officially holds" the office overruled the intuitive answer of who was in practical control. Other examples include debates over the definition of a "token" or what constitutes an "agreement." The core argument is that a "reality vs. rules" gap creates pricing discrepancies that savvy traders ("车头" or "whales") exploit. The platform has a formal dispute resolution process managed by UMA token holders to settle ambiguous outcomes. This process involves proposal submission, a challenge window, a discussion period, and a final vote. However, the article highlights a critical flaw in this system compared to a traditional court: the lack of separation between the arbiters (UMA voters) and the interested parties (traders with financial stakes in the outcome). This conflict of interest undermines the discussion phase, leads to herd mentality, and results in opaque final decisions without explanatory rulings. Consequently, the system lacks a body of precedent, making it difficult for users to learn from past disputes. The ultimate takeaway is that success on Polymarket requires a lawyer-like scrutiny of the rules to identify and capitalize on the cognitive gap between how events appear and how they are contractually defined for settlement.
