ETHGas, a DeFi project focused on solving Ethereum's high gas fees and network congestion, has announced that the snapshot for its GWEI token airdrop will occur on January 19 at 8:00 AM Beijing Time. The project, which raised $12 million in a seed round led by Polychain Capital, aims to make Ethereum transactions faster and cheaper through partnerships with major protocols. The total supply of GWEI tokens is 10 billion, allocated to ecosystem, investors, team, community, foundation, and advisors. Users can earn Beans points by completing social and referral tasks on the platform. Discord interaction points will also be converted to Beans, with a snapshot on January 15. A step-by-step guide is provided: users need to bind their X account and Web3 wallet on the ETHGas website, generate a Gas Report, and complete tasks to accumulate points before the snapshot. Existing users are advised to renew their Gas ID to ensure eligibility.

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.

Google and Amazon Simultaneously Invest Heavily in a Competitor: The Most Absurd Business Logic of the AI Era Is Becoming Reality

In a span of four days, Amazon announced an additional $25 billion investment, and Google pledged up to $40 billion—both direct competitors pouring over $65 billion into the same AI startup, Anthropic. Rather than a typical venture capital move, this signals the latest escalation in the cloud wars. The core of the deal is not equity but compute pre-orders: Anthropic must spend the majority of these funds on AWS and Google Cloud services and chips, effectively locking in massive future compute consumption. This reflects a shift in cloud market dynamics—enterprises now choose cloud providers based on which hosts the best AI models, not just price or stability. With OpenAI deeply tied to Microsoft, Anthropic’s Claude has become the only viable strategic asset for Google and Amazon to remain competitive. Anthropic’s annualized revenue has surged to $30 billion, and it is expanding into verticals like biotech, positioning itself as a cross-industry AI infrastructure layer. However, this funding comes with constraints: Anthropic’s independence is challenged as it balances two rival investors, its safety-first narrative faces pressure from regulatory scrutiny, and its path to IPO introduces new financial pressures. Globally, this accelerates a "tri-polar" closed-loop structure in AI infrastructure, with Microsoft-OpenAI, Google-Anthropic, and Amazon-Anthropic forming exclusive model-cloud alliances. In contrast, China’s landscape differs—investments like Alibaba and Tencent backing open-source model firm DeepSeek reflect a more decoupled approach, though closed-source models from major cloud providers still dominate. The $65 billion bet is ultimately about securing a seat at the table in an AI-defined future—where missing the model layer means losing the cloud war.

Computing Power Constrained, Why Did DeepSeek-V4 Open Source?

DeepSeek-V4 has been released as a preview open-source model, featuring 1 million tokens of context length as a baseline capability—previously a premium feature locked behind enterprise paywalls by major overseas AI firms. The official announcement, however, openly acknowledges computational constraints, particularly limited service throughput for the high-end DeepSeek-V4-Pro version due to restricted high-end computing power. Rather than competing on pure scale, DeepSeek adopts a pragmatic approach that balances algorithmic innovation with hardware realities in China’s AI ecosystem. The V4-Pro model uses a highly sparse architecture with 1.6T total parameters but only activates 49B during inference. It performs strongly in agentic coding, knowledge-intensive tasks, and STEM reasoning, competing closely with top-tier closed models like Gemini Pro 3.1 and Claude Opus 4.6 in certain scenarios. A key strategic product is the Flash edition, with 284B total parameters but only 13B activated—making it cost-effective and accessible for mid- and low-tier hardware, including domestic AI chips from Huawei (Ascend), Cambricon, and Hygon. This design supports broader adoption across developers and SMEs while stimulating China's domestic semiconductor ecosystem. Despite facing talent outflow and intense competition in user traffic—with rivals like Doubao and Qianwen leading in monthly active users—DeepSeek has maintained technical momentum. The release also comes amid reports of a new funding round targeting a valuation exceeding $10 billion, potentially setting a new record in China’s LLM sector. Ultimately, DeepSeek-V4 represents a shift toward open yet realistic infrastructure development in the constrained compute landscape of Chinese AI, emphasizing engineering efficiency and domestic hardware compatibility over pure model scale.
