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.

North Korean Hackers Loot $500 Million in a Single Month, Becoming the Top Threat to Crypto Security

North Korean hackers, particularly the notorious Lazarus Group and its subgroup TraderTraitor, have stolen over $500 million from cryptocurrency DeFi platforms in less than three weeks, bringing their total theft for the year to over $700 million. Recent major attacks on Drift Protocol and KelpDAO, resulting in losses of approximately $286 million and $290 million respectively, highlight a strategic shift: instead of targeting core smart contracts, attackers are now exploiting vulnerabilities in peripheral infrastructure. For instance, the KelpDAO attack involved compromising downstream RPC infrastructure used by LayerZero's decentralized validation network (DVN), allowing manipulation without breaching core cryptography. This sophisticated approach mirrors advanced corporate cyber-espionage. Additionally, North Korea has systematically infiltrated the global crypto workforce, with an estimated 100 operatives using fake identities to gain employment at blockchain companies, enabling long-term access to sensitive systems and facilitating large-scale thefts. According to Chainalysis, North Korean-linked hackers stole a record $2 billion in 2025, accounting for 60% of all global crypto theft that year. Their total historical crypto theft has reached $6.75 billion. Post-theft, they employ specialized money laundering methods, heavily relying on Chinese OTC brokers and cross-chain mixing services rather than standard decentralized exchanges. Security experts, while acknowledging the increased sophistication, emphasize that many attacks still exploit fundamental weaknesses like poor access controls and centralized operational risks. Strengthening private key management, limiting privileged access, and enhancing coordination among exchanges, analysts, and law enforcement immediately after an attack are critical to improving defense and fund recovery chances. The industry's challenge now extends beyond secure smart contracts to safeguarding operational security at the infrastructure level.

Circle CEO's Seoul Visit: No Korean Won Stablecoin Issuance, But Met All Major Korean Banks

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire's recent activities in Seoul indicate a strategic shift for the company, moving away from issuing a Korean won-backed stablecoin and instead focusing on embedding itself as a key infrastructure provider within Korea’s financial and crypto ecosystem. Despite Korea accounting for nearly 30% of global crypto trading volume—with a market characterized by high retail participation and altcoin dominance—Circle has chosen not to compete for the role of stablecoin issuer. Instead, Allaire met with major Korean banks (including Shinhan, KB, and Woori), financial groups, leading exchanges (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone), and tech firms like Kakao. This approach reflects a broader industry transition: the core of stablecoin competition is shifting from issuance rights to systemic positioning. With Korean regulators still debating whether banks or tech companies should issue stablecoins, Circle is avoiding regulatory uncertainty by strengthening its role as a service and technology partner. The company is deepening integration with trading platforms, building connections, and promoting stablecoin infrastructure. This positions Circle to benefit regardless of which entity eventually issues a won stablecoin. Allaire also noted the potential for a Chinese yuan stablecoin in the next 3–5 years, underscoring a regional trend of stablecoins becoming more regulated and integrated with traditional finance. Ultimately, Circle’s strategy highlights that future influence in the stablecoin market will belong not necessarily to the issuers, but to the foundational infrastructure layers that enable cross-system transactions.

SpaceX Ties Up with Cursor: A High-Stakes AI Gambit of 'Lock First, Acquire Later'

SpaceX has secured an option to acquire AI programming company Cursor for $60 billion, with an alternative clause requiring a $10 billion collaboration fee if the acquisition does not proceed. This structure is not merely a potential acquisition but a strategic move to control core access points in the AI era. The deal is designed as a flexible, dual-path arrangement, allowing SpaceX to either fully acquire Cursor or maintain a binding partnership through high-cost collaboration. This "option-style" approach minimizes immediate regulatory and integration risks while ensuring long-term alignment between the two companies. At its core, the transaction exchanges critical AI-era resources: SpaceX provides its Colossus supercomputing cluster—one of the world’s most powerful AI training infrastructures—while Cursor contributes its AI-native developer environment and strong product adoption. This synergy connects compute power, models, and application layers, forming a closed-loop AI capability stack. Cursor, founded in 2022, has achieved rapid growth with over $1 billion in annual revenue and widespread enterprise adoption. Its value lies in transforming software development through AI agents capable of coding, debugging, and system design—positioning it as a gateway to future software production. For SpaceX, this move is part of a broader strategy to evolve from a aerospace company into an AI infrastructure empire, integrating xAI, supercomputing, and chip manufacturing. Controlling Cursor fills a gap in its developer tooling layer, strengthening its AI narrative ahead of a potential IPO. The deal reflects a shift in AI competition from model superiority to ecosystem and entry-point control. With programming tools as a key battleground, securing developer loyalty becomes crucial for dominating the software production landscape. Risks include questions around Cursor’s valuation, technical integration challenges, and potential regulatory scrutiny. Nevertheless, the deal underscores a strategic bet: controlling both compute and software development access may redefine power dynamics in the AI-driven future.

Ripple’s Tokenization Bet: Will XRP Price Explode As It Enters This Trillion-Dollar Industry?

Institutional capital is quietly moving onto the XRP Ledger (XRPL), with over $333 million in tokenized US Treasury products now live from firms like BlackRock-backed Ondo Finance, OpenEden, Guggenheim, and abrdn. This marks a significant shift for XRPL, traditionally known for payments, into the tokenized real-world asset sector. While still a tiny fraction of the $30+ trillion Treasury market, XRPL's tokenized assets grew 2,200% in 2025. Experts project the global tokenization market could reach $200 trillion. If XRPL captures a notable share as this market scales, it could have significant implications for the price of XRP.

Bitcoin Could Strengthen US National Security, Top Military Commander Says

US lawmakers advocate for domestic Bitcoin mining equipment production, citing national security risks from foreign hardware dependence. Admiral Samuel Paparo, commander of US Indo-Pacific Command, testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee that Bitcoin is a tool for "power projection" and cybersecurity. He emphasized Bitcoin's proof-of-work system as a costly deterrent against network attacks, aligning it with US national power instruments. This echoes earlier military perspectives, like US Space Force's Jason Lowery, who argued Bitcoin's utility beyond finance. The hearing also addressed cyber threats, including North Korea's crypto theft for weapons funding. While the US leads in Bitcoin holdings and mining, reliance on overseas-manufactured mining hardware remains a vulnerability.
