ChainCatcher news, SushiSwap announced the launch of the Memecoin launch platform Vesting Launch, which features a linear vesting function. Tokens will be gradually released to buyers who purchase within 24 hours after the token creation. This ensures that buyers have the exact same experience as early purchasers, preventing snipers and pump-and-dumpers from ruining promising tokens in the initial hours after creation. After 24 hours of the token going live, trading will be completely normal with no restrictions. When purchasing tokens, the tokens bought by users will be released linearly within the first 24 hours after the launch. If a user buys 100 tokens 12 hours after the launch, the balance will show 50 tokens, and the dashboard will display the full balance after vesting.SushiSwap stated: "The introduction of linear vesting is just the beginning of our goal to make memecoin trading more fun and sustainable. Countless promising tokens are sniped and dumped within minutes of their release, ruining their chances of gaining an audience. We are addressing this issue."Additionally, SushiSwap released a disclaimer: Trading on the launchpad carries certain risks, including the possibility of losing funds. Always conduct your own research and understand the market before trading. Sushi does not provide any financial or legal advice and does not endorse any specific tokens, so please trade cautiously.

ChainCatcher news, Bankless founder David Hoffman posted on the X platform stating: "The independent validator community is the ultimate line of defense for network security. The self-sovereignty of the network is related to its commitment to independent validators. Ignoring independent validators in 'good times' is a luxury (referring to the larger number of independent validators when the market is doing well), but in 'bad times' it will cost us (referring to the reduced number of independent validators when the market is doing poorly, which in turn affects the ecological network security)."

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared a summary of his fireside chat at the Home Staking Summit in Singapore on social media, discussing the real value of independent stakers (including small businesses and community stakers) to the network, and what transformations L1 can undertake to better support these stakers.Vitalik stated that independent stakers are both the "first line of defense" for the Ethereum network, providing censorship resistance, and the "last line of defense," protecting the network by preventing the final confirmation of erroneous chains at 67%. Independent stakers are typically not associated with large organizations, making them difficult to capture or coerce by regulators, thereby enhancing Ethereum's position as a trusted neutral block space.Vitalik proposed the possibility of increasing the required validator ratio (e.g., from 67% to 85%) to enhance network security. However, he also pointed out that this could bring new challenges, such as lowering the cost of attacks that prevent final confirmations. Additionally, Ethereum's network security strategy may need to be reassessed. Currently, 33% of staked ETH represents the highest attack cost for hijacking the blockchain. However, this status quo suggests that there may be an over-investment in defending against positive attacks above 33%, recommending a reallocation of resources to strengthen defenses against "above 66%" attacks.Vitalik emphasized the importance of increasing the number of independent stakers, making them a key component of the current final confirmation threshold, and explored measures that the Ethereum base layer (L1) could take to better support and encourage independent staking.
