Ученые собрали $100 тыс. на изучение сурков через OnlyFans и мемкоин

Американские ученые, которые с помощью платформы OnlyFans пытались собрать средства на исследования сурков, смогли получить около $100 тыс. от созданного в честь их проекта мемкоина, пишет Guardian.

Исследования биологов, ведущиеся уже 60 лет, оказались под угрозой закрытия из-за сокращения финансирования администрацией президента США Дональда Трампа, передает издание. Для привлечения средств в июне ученые завели на платформе OnlyFans аккаунт OnlyMarms (marms, сокращение от marmots — сурки).

Через этот канал им удалось собрать только $6 тыс., однако кто-то неизвестный создал в сети Solana мемкоин OnlyMarms и пожертвовал все комиссионные сборы от торговли токеном на исследования биологов. Таким образом, проект привлек более $100 тыс., что продлевает его работу еще на один год.

«Последние две недели были просто сумасшедшими, это было невероятно, и я рад, что исследования могут продолжаться еще год. Меня совершенно поражает, что эта интернет-культура, о которой я почти ничего не знаю, собрала столько денег. Это одновременно и удивительно, и шокирующе», — сказал исследователь из Оттавского университета, один из руководителей проекта, Жюльен Мартэн.

Он рассказал, что сначала принял это за мошенничество. Также Мартэн признал, что, хотя средства от OnlyFans и мемкоина пока позволят проекту дальше изучать сурков, это не является адекватной заменой стандартному государственному финансированию.

«Конечно, нам повезло, и нам может повезти еще больше, если мемкоин покажет еще лучшие результаты, но я понимаю, что это не для всех. Для нас это сработало, потому что мы были первыми», — сказал он.

Beyond APR: After Staking, Who Really Owns Your ETH?

Beyond APR: Who Actually Controls Your ETH After Staking? The article challenges the common focus on Annual Percentage Rate (APR) when choosing ETH staking services. It argues that as staking yields converge, the more critical question is who controls the staked assets. The core of non-custodial staking lies in Ethereum's key separation design. A validator uses two keys: a **Signing Key** (for online consensus tasks) and a **Withdrawal Credential** (the ultimate control over funds). Service providers can manage the Signing Key to run the validator but cannot access the staked ETH. The user retains the Withdrawal Credential, which can be kept offline. Post-EIP-7002, users can even force a validator exit directly from their wallet if a service provider disappears. Four roles are involved: 1. **User:** Retains ultimate fund control via the Withdrawal Credential. 2. **Wallet:** Acts as an interface for managing permissions, not an asset owner. 3. **Node Service Provider:** Manages validator operation (Signing Key), carrying risks related to performance and slashing, but not fund theft. 4. **Ethereum Protocol:** Governs the immutable rules for activation, exit, and withdrawal. The piece contrasts this with Liquid Staking like Lido. Users receive a liquid token (e.g., stETH) representing a claim on pooled staked ETH, enabling DeFi composability. However, they do not control individual validator withdrawal credentials; redemption relies on the protocol's withdrawal queue. This trades direct control for liquidity and lower entry barriers. The conclusion is pragmatic: Liquid staking suits users with smaller amounts or high liquidity needs. For long-term holders with 32+ ETH, where yield differentials are minimal, the security model and direct control of a non-custodial, native stake become paramount. The essential question shifts from "What's the APR?" to "Who holds the keys to my staked ETH?"

Riemann Hypothesis Pushed to 99.55% of Theoretical Boundary: Meta-Architecture AI Reshapes Its 'Brain' Through Thinking

When we marvel at large language models writing poems or coding, scientists face a more challenging question: how can AI tackle complex, long-term scientific problems that require months or years of sustained, uncertain reasoning? Traditional AI approaches use a fixed architecture—like forcing a mathematician, physicist, and engineer to share the same brain. While versatile, such a system often lacks specialization for specific, complex tasks. Recently, an international academic team introduced the Eureka framework, a groundbreaking solution. Instead of a fixed brain, Eureka allows AI to dynamically grow task-specific architectures during problem-solving—creating the optimal dedicated brain for each challenge. In rigorous testing, Eureka completed all 170 complex recursive long-horizon tasks, generating 3,948 verifiable certificates without a single instance of erroneous self-approval or false completion. Eureka demonstrated remarkable adaptability across two distinct scientific challenges: 1. Advancing the Riemann Hypothesis: For this mathematical milestone, Eureka constructed a specialized agent that expanded the scope of a key proof path—local Weil quadratic form positivity—from a ≤ 1/4 to a ≤ 69/200 (0.345). This reaches 99.55% of the theoretical first barrier, representing a significant, verifiable step forward. 2. Reconstructing Physical Theory: In exploring quantum processes and spacetime theory, Eureka generated a theory-discovery agent. It produced five progressive structural findings, rigorously proving that behavioral equivalence does not imply essential equivalence—providing a stricter standard for comparing physical theories. Why Fixed Architectures Fall Short: Predefined AI structures—whether single- or multi-agent—are efficient for known problems but struggle with the long-term uncertainty and structural variability of scientific discovery. They face issues like architecture mismatch and planning failures when early assumptions are invalidated. The Eureka Approach: A Meta-Architecture for Self-Evolution Eureka integrates task execution and brain shaping. Its workflow includes: - Dynamic task compilation into a flexible "obligation graph." - Identifying "architectural hotspots" where specific tools, memory, or collaboration patterns are repeatedly needed. - "Architectural promotion": compiling dedicated "macro-agents" with their own memory, tools, verification standards, and workflows to handle specialized subproblems. - Controlled self-evolution: upgrading macro-agents only when benefits clearly outweigh costs. Results and Outlook: Eureka reduced core contextual overhead by 57.8% and avoided 65.38% of redundant computations. In concurrent testing with 16,000 tasks, it ensured perfect consistency with sequential execution, eliminating data conflicts. This approach paves the way for AI in high-difficulty scientific domains—accelerating mathematical research, aiding theoretical physics discovery, and managing large-scale engineering problems like chip design or drug development. Eureka represents a paradigm shift: future AI capability may depend less on model scale and more on dynamic, task-aware brain shaping.

Want to Buy a Dog? Buy NVIDIA First: Are Equity Memes the Engine of This Bull Market?

The article explores the emergence of "stock-meme" coins on the Robinhood Chain, a new trend where meme tokens like Artificial Inu are paired directly with tokenized stocks like Nvidia (NVDA). This mechanism forces trading activity for otherwise static tokenized equities. The narrative suggests this fusion could be a catalyst for the next crypto bull market, akin to how ETFs brought traditional finance capital last cycle. However, the model faces critical challenges. A case study involving HIMS stock tokens revealed a 460% premium over the real stock price on a weekend, exposing a fundamental flaw: token supply is controlled by a single authorized participant who can only mint new tokens when the underlying stock market is open. This leaves the 24/7 crypto market vulnerable to disconnection from real-world pricing and liquidity. Data analysis shows frenetic but shallow activity: 61% of wallets are one-day users, bots generate over half the trading volume, and median transaction sizes are small. While tokenized stock holders increased 155% in 30 days, regulatory uncertainty and geographic restrictions (blocking US, Canada, UK users) limit new capital inflow. The article concludes that while "stock-memes" can ignite short-term hype, their sustainability as a "bull market engine" depends on attracting genuine external capital rather than just recycling existing crypto funds.
