Voters should see the differences that exist in this campaign on the debate stage." Trump previously told reporters that he would "absolutely" debate Harris at least once before election day.

From zkSync to LayerZero: Witch Attacks Will Erode Projects, No One Wants to See a Fake Community

Next, we will explore how witch attacks can affect token issuance through two recent airdrop cases: zkSync and LayerZero.
How Do Telegram Mini-Games Make Money?
"The Ton ecosystem is on the eve of takeoff has been a joke for three years." This has been a common joke about the Ton chain, which was once among the top in crypto fundraising rankings but has been like a plane circling on the runway at the airport, never taking off.
But today seems to be a response to that joke, as mini-games on Telegram have entered a prosperous phase.
"There are at least over a hundred mini-games running on Telegram, and by the end of this month, over 2,000 games are in preparation to launch. I guess Telegram itself didn't expect this day, suddenly so many mini-games have flooded in," said Zong Yue (pseudonym) excitedly.
