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.

Exploring Physical World AGI with "Visual Reasoning", ElorianAI Raises $55 Million

ElorianAI, co-founded by ex-Google AI expert Andrew Dai and former AI specialist Yinfei Yang, has raised $55 million in early funding to develop next-generation AI systems with advanced visual reasoning capabilities. While current large models excel in text-based tasks like programming and math, they perform poorly in visual reasoning—even top models like Gemini only match a 3-year-old’s ability in basic visual benchmarks. The key limitation lies in the architecture of current vision-language models (VLMs), which first convert visual inputs into text before reasoning, losing critical spatial and structural information. ElorianAI aims to build a native multimodal model that processes and reasons directly in visual space, enabling deeper understanding of physical relationships, constraints, and environments. The company plans to release a state-of-the-art visual reasoning model by 2026, with potential applications in robotics, disaster management, engineering, healthcare, and AI hardware. By using high-quality, diverse, and synthetically generated data, ElorianAI intends to create models that don’t just perceive but truly understand and reason about the physical world—bringing us closer to visual AGI.

This Time, OpenAI Eliminated 90% of Human Designers

OpenAI's latest release, GPT-Image 2, marks a paradigm shift in AI-generated imagery, moving beyond aesthetic quality to logical reasoning and contextual understanding. The model introduces a "thinking mode," where it performs background reasoning—such as mathematical calculations and geographic knowledge—before generating images. This enables highly accurate and context-aware outputs, like a livestream overlay showing precise distance metrics or a brand-aligned poster design. The model excels in rendering Chinese text with remarkable accuracy and aesthetic quality, a significant improvement over previous versions. It supports multi-turn conversational editing via the new Responses API, allowing iterative refinements similar to chatting with a large language model. While GPT-Image 2 demonstrates unprecedented capabilities in commercial applications like marketing material and illustration—potentially displacing many human designers due to its cost efficiency—it still has limitations. Minor artifacts in fine text details persist, and complex prompts can cause extended processing times. Additionally, the technology raises ethical concerns around deepfakes and digital trust. Overall, GPT-Image 2 transitions AI image generation from a novelty to a powerful production-ready tool, redefining industry standards and pushing the boundary of what’s possible in visual AI.

20 Billion Valuation, Alibaba and Tencent Competing to Invest, Whose Money Will Liang Wenfeng Take?

DeepSeek, an AI startup founded by Liang Wenfeng, is reportedly in talks with Alibaba and Tencent for an external funding round that could value the company at over $20 billion. This marks a significant shift, as DeepSeek had previously relied solely on funding from its parent company,幻方量化 (Huanfang Quantitative), and had resisted external investment. The potential valuation would place DeepSeek among the top-tier AI model companies in China, comparable to competitors like MoonDark (valued at ~$18 billion) and ahead of recently listed firms like MiniMax and Zhipu. The funding—which could range from $600 million (for a 3% stake) to $2 billion (for 10%)—is seen as a move to secure resources for model development, retain talent, and support infrastructure needs, particularly as competition in inference models and AI agents intensifies. Both Alibaba and Tencent are eager to invest, not only for financial returns but also to integrate DeepSeek into their broader AI ecosystems. However, DeepSeek’s leadership is cautious about maintaining independence and may prefer financial investors over strategic ones to avoid being locked into a specific tech ecosystem. Alternative options, such as state-backed funds, offer longer-term capital and policy support but may come with slower decision-making and potential constraints on global expansion. With competing AI firms accelerating their IPO plans, DeepSeek’s window for securing optimal terms may be narrowing. The final decision will reflect a trade-off between capital, resources, and strategic independence.

After Losing 97% of Its Market Value, iQiyi Attempts to Use AI to Forcefully Extend Its Lifespan

After losing 97% of its market value since its 2018 peak, iQiyi is aggressively pivoting to AI in a desperate attempt to survive. At its 2026 World Conference, CEO Gong Yu announced an "AI Artist Library" with over 100 virtual performers and a new AIGC platform, "NaDou Pro," promising faster production and lower costs. This shift comes as the company faces severe financial distress: its market cap sits near delisting thresholds at $1.36 billion, with significant losses, declining membership revenue, and depleted cash flow. The AI strategy has sparked controversy. Top actors have issued legal threats against unauthorized digital replicas, while in Hengdian, over 134,000 background actors are seeing their already scarce job opportunities vanish as AI replaces them for background roles. iQiyi's move represents a fundamental shift from being a high-cost content buyer to a landlord" to becoming a "platform capitalist" that transfers production risk to creators. This contrasts with competitors like Douyin (TikTok's Chinese counterpart), which is investing heavily in *real* actor-led short dramas, betting that authentic human connection retains users better than AI-generated content. The article draws a parallel to the 1920s transition to "talkies," which made cinema musicians obsolete but ultimately enriched the art form. In contrast, iQiyi's AI drive is framed not as an artistic evolution but as a cost-cutting measure that could degrade storytelling, replacing genuine human emotion with algorithmically calculated stimulation and potentially numbing audiences' capacity for empathy. The core question remains: can a company focused solely on financial survival preserve the art of storytelling?

Only a 50% Chance of Passing This Year, Can the CLARITY Bill Succeed Before the Midterm Elections?

The CLARITY Act, which passed the House in July 2025 with strong bipartisan support (294-134), faces a critical juncture in the Senate. The Senate Banking Committee is expected to hold a markup soon, but key issues remain unresolved, including stablecoin yield provisions, DeFi regulations, and securing full Republican committee support. Other contentious points involve the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), ethics amendments for government officials, and SEC-related matters. The legislative calendar is tight, with limited time before the midterm elections. If the committee markup is delayed beyond mid-May, the chances of passage in 2026 drop significantly. Senator Cynthia Lummis has warned that failure this year could delay comprehensive crypto market structure legislation until 2030 or later. Galaxy estimates the probability of the CLARITY Act becoming law in 2026 is only about 50%. The bill provides crucial regulatory clarity by defining jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and CFTC, establishing a path for decentralization, and bringing digital commodity intermediaries under federal regulation. Its passage is seen as vital before potential power shifts in the next Congress, which could bring less favorable leadership to key committees. The timeline is compressed, and the bill must compete for floor time with other priorities like Iran authorization and DHS appropriations. Key hurdles include finalizing the stablecoin yield compromise text, addressing law enforcement concerns about BRCA, and navigating political dynamics around SEC nominations. The outcome of the Banking Committee markup and the level of bipartisan support will be critical indicators of its future success.
