- 13:17Virtuals Protocol Upgrades Genesis Launch ModelAccording to Jinse Finance, Virtuals Protocol recently announced on the X platform that it has upgraded its Genesis launch model. The upgrade aims to balance demand and fairness by introducing a three-tier staking system (21K, 42K, 100K $VIRTUAL), allowing users to participate in top AI projects at appropriate valuations. The new model allocates 7% of the token supply to the community, 6% to the liquidity pool, and airdrops 2% to veVIRTUAL holders, with a total allocation of 15%. This new distribution model will establish structural value from Day 1 and attract higher-quality builders and projects to the Virtuals ecosystem. Virtuals Protocol stated that this upgrade stems from the original intention of Genesis, launched 123 days ago—to provide users with early access to world-class AI projects at fair valuations. However, this vision has faced challenges from the monopoly of Web2 venture capital. By promoting open coordination instead of closed decision-making, Genesis aims to break down privilege barriers and enable genuine contributors to participate.
- 13:09Concordium Launches Zero-Knowledge Proof Age Verification App to Address New Mandatory ID Checks in the UKChainCatcher reports, according to Cointelegraph, that blockchain protocol Concordium has launched a mobile age verification app based on zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-proofs), supporting both iOS and Android systems. After paying $0.01 to create an encrypted digital identity, users can prove attributes such as age, nationality, and date of birth to third-party services without disclosing their actual information to the service provider. The launch of this app coincides with the UK's new regulation, which mandates age verification for access to adult content starting August 1, sparking privacy protection debates. The UK communications regulator Ofcom's guidelines allow for reusable digital identity wallet solutions that comply with data protection standards, and Concordium stated it is in discussions with Ofcom regarding compliance. Google Wallet integrated zero-knowledge proof technology for age verification in April, indicating that this technology is gradually being adopted in non-crypto scenarios.
