Введение

Solana Mobile will launch its SKR token on January 21, with an airdrop allowing Solana Seeker smartphone users to claim up to 20% of the token supply. After launch, users can assign tokens to "Guardians" — including infrastructure platforms like Anza and Helius — to help secure the network, verify devices, and manage the decentralized app store, earning rewards in return. The Seeker, Solana's second blockchain phone, has already seen significant adoption with 9 million transactions and $2.6 billion in trading volume. The airdrop distribution will see 30% unlocked at launch, with two-thirds allocated to Seeker users and developers. Solana Mobile aims to challenge the mobile app duopoly of Apple and Google.

Solana Mobile has revealed its SKR token launch date, i.e., January 21, having Solana Seeker smartphone users in continuation to claim up to 20% of the token through an airdrop.

On January 7, Solana revealed that, after the token launch, users can secure their tokens to “Guardians” who will safeguard the Solana network while verifying devices and organising the decentralised app store.

Users will get rewards for assigning the tokens and will be capable of accessing multiple exclusive in-app features. The general manager of Solna Mobile, Emmett, said that SKR will provide all of the people who have gotten them, to an extent, the opportunity to influence the success of their platform, and, in this, the airdrop is the first step.

Talking about Seeker, it is the second blockchain-supported phone by Solana that focuses on taking decentralised apps, payments and token ownership directly to users. Solana Mobile terminated software and security support for its first phone, the Saga, followed by the launch of the Seeker in August.

The Token Allocation

Solana Seeker seems to have witnessed enormous success, processing 9 million transactions and accumulating $2.6 billion in trading volume over 265 decentralised apps from over 100,000 users.

Solana Mobile is planning to distort the mobile application duopoly influenced by Apple and Google. Hollyer claims that both the platforms have continued to constrain user choice and developer freedom from long ago.

The website of Solana Mobile mentions that around 30% of airdrops will be unlocked at the time of launch, having two-thirds of that allotted to Solana Seeker users and developers. Furthermore, around 2.7 billion SKR, which accounts for 27% of the total supply, will be unlocked at the time of the token generation event.

Guardians is also set to be launched at the SKR token launch; having Solana infrastructure platforms Anza, DoubleZero, Helius and Jito among the Guardians will assist in guiding the growth of Solana Seeker.

A Wave of Resistance Against AI Data Centers Sweeps the U.S., and the Most Vocal Are Not in Wealthy Areas

A nationwide movement against AI data center construction is gaining momentum across the US, from Vermont to California. New York's legislature recently passed a one-year moratorium, and Illinois has paused tax incentives for such projects. A new report, featuring exclusive data analysis from researcher Geoff Holtzman, challenges the narrative that opposition is led by wealthy "NIMBYs." Key findings reveal: 1) Resistance is highest in the poorest communities (19% protest rate) and lowest in the wealthiest (3.8%). 2) Proposed data centers facing community protests are over five times more likely to be canceled or paused (28.2% vs. 5.2%). 3) The higher cancellation rate in low-income areas is directly explained by their higher protest rates. A separate Heatmap poll shows 55% of Americans strongly oppose local data centers, with opposition strongest among Democrats, rural residents, and young adults (80% of 18-35 year olds). The analysis concludes that the anti-data center movement is largely driven by working-class communities and is proving effective at halting projects.

Yang Ge Gary: Agent Economy and AI Sub-Microeconomics

"Agent Economy and AI Submicroeconomics" by Gary Yang discusses the evolution of AI Agent economies, written from Singapore in June 2026. The author observes a significant "civilizational generational gap" in AI development, particularly highlighted by events in Silicon Valley. The article identifies a current bottleneck in the transition from Human-to-Agent (H2A) economies to true Agent-to-Agent (A2A) ecosystems. While AI Payment protocols are rapidly emerging, many implementations remain non-AI-native, focusing on traditional human decision-making models rather than leveraging autonomous Agent decision-making. A core thesis is the inevitable formation of an **Agent Economy**, defined as a system where autonomous AI Agents create, exchange, and capitalize value independently. This requires new infrastructure: **AI Protocols**, which are the foundational rules and standards for Agent interaction. The piece explores the relationship and current gap between AI Protocols and Crypto Protocols, suggesting political and regulatory factors from traditional finance are temporarily constraining development. However, a future fusion into a mature Digital Protocol system is deemed inevitable based on first principles. The author introduces **AI Agent Submicroeconomics**, contrasting it with human economics. Key differences include higher transaction frequency, lower value per transaction, efficiency-driven (not emotion-driven) decisions, task-oriented (not consumption-oriented) behavior, and near-zero organizational and communication costs. A biological analogy is drawn, comparing an Agent to a cell, its LLM to a nucleus, and its protocol stack to a cell membrane. The rise of **AIFi** (AI Finance) is presented as a natural consequence, where value originates from AI-native activities and is subsequently tokenized and financialized. This contrasts with DeFi/TradFi, where finance is the source of value. The concept of a **Financial Chip (FinChip)**—an autonomous AI Agent integrated with a crypto smart contract—is highlighted as key infrastructure for this new economy. The conclusion emphasizes that **AI-Native** thinking represents a paradigm shift distinct from "Internet+" upgrades. It requires reasoning from first principles, focusing on energy-value shortest paths and maximum efficiency, which presents a steep learning curve and significant challenge for all participants in this rapidly evolving field.

ViaBTC CEO Haipo Yang: Looking Back at the Decade, Re-understanding the Value of Crypto

In "A Decade in Retrospect: Re-evaluating the Value of Crypto," ViaBTC & CoinEx CEO Haipo Yang reflects on the cryptocurrency industry's evolution since founding ViaBTC in 2016. Initially a niche interest, Crypto has fundamentally transformed key financial infrastructures like market making, trading, settlement, and issuance through open protocols, as seen with Uniswap and GMX, and enabled efficient cross-border transfers via stablecoins. While acknowledging speculation's role in fueling innovation and liquidity, Yang warns it often overshadows real demand. He distinguishes between blockchain (a trust-minimizing technology), Web3 (an application model requiring genuine utility), and Crypto assets. The latter's value derives from block space as a commodity (e.g., gas fees) and "sovereign liquidity premium" (e.g., Bitcoin's censorship resistance), with most tokens lacking such dual support. Looking ahead, Yang argues the next decade's focus should shift from "open participation" to "sustainable participation," emphasizing reliable infrastructure. He predicts consolidation towards networks with strong security and liquidity (like Bitcoin and Ethereum), and sees DeFi becoming a specialized tool rather than a mass replacement for traditional finance. Crypto will integrate into traditional finance (e.g., via Bitcoin ETFs) but may sacrifice some decentralization for mainstream adoption. Real future demand may come from AI agents and machine economies needing permissionless settlement. Ultimately, Yang believes Crypto's enduring value lies not in hype or replacing everything, but in verifiably reducing trust costs, increasing efficiency, and providing stable, transparent services across market cycles.

Silicon Valley Moguls Gather for 'Werewolf' Reality Show, Billionaires Engage in Power Gameplay

Silicon Valley elites, including OpenAI's Sam Altman, Anduril's Palmer Luckey, and Signal's Moxie Marlinspike, gathered not for a tech discussion, but to film a reality show playing "Mafia" (the US version of Werewolf). The show, titled *MAFIA*, is produced by the legendary venture capital firm Founders Fund. Held at the historic Tosca Cafe in San Francisco, the game revealed participants' real-time decision-making and personalities under pressure. Altman applied analytical logic, Luckey's playful style made him an early target, and Marlinspike skillfully shifted the group's thinking. The session quickly devolved into a battle of intuition and accusation after Figma's Dylan Field was eliminated first. More than just entertainment, the show is seen as a public experiment and a rebellion against standard VC narratives. It demonstrates how Silicon Valley's new elite leverages "infotainment" to build influence. As traditional media wanes, figures like Founders Fund are taking control of content creation, understanding that narrative control and public performance are becoming crucial capital in the internet age. The strategic thinking, persuasive communication, and rapid decision-making displayed in the game mirror the very skills that drive their real-world success.

ChatGPT's "Dreaming" Feature: A Must-Have for All AIs

ChatGPT has introduced a major new "Dreaming" memory system, making its AI assistant more human-like by automatically learning and updating user preferences over time. Unlike the older "Saved memories" feature, which required explicit user commands to store information, the new system actively synthesizes useful details from past conversations—such as travel plans, work projects, or personal interests—and intelligently determines which facts remain relevant and which have become outdated. OpenAI reports significant performance improvements: accuracy in recalling facts rose from 41.5% with the old system to 82.8% with Dreaming V3, while adherence to user preferences increased from 31.4% to 71.3%. A key enhancement is the system's ability to keep information current over time, with accuracy jumping from 9.4% to 75.1%. Users can now view and edit a "Memory Summary" page, see sources that influenced responses, and control memory settings. While the feature initially rolls out to US Plus and Pro users, it will later expand globally and to free-tier users. This evolution marks a shift for ChatGPT from a general conversational model toward a persistent, personalized assistant that builds a long-term understanding of each user—raising both practical possibilities and deeper questions about privacy and the nature of AI-human relationships.
