ChainCatcher news, the on-chain AI infrastructure Autonomys Network has officially launched the first phase of its mainnet, allowing users to directly stake storage resources through the Space Acres desktop application to help secure the network. It also plans to collaborate with cutting-edge projects in fields such as AI, DePIN, infrastructure, and DApps to expand the influence and functionality of the AI3.0 ecosystem. At the same time, Autonomys Network has released its first white paper titled "Autonomys: Foundation Layer for AI3.0," which comprehensively outlines its technology, vision, and the potential for building decentralized AI infrastructure.In addition, Autonomys Network has simultaneously launched the "Space Race" competition, aimed at encouraging participants to contribute storage and computing resources to establish a decentralized consensus mechanism for the network. When the community reaches the target amount of storage staking, the mainnet rewards will be activated, and participants can earn AI3 tokens.

ChainCatcher news, Autonomys Network research head Chen Feng confirmed attendance at the "DeInsight 2024" annual summit to be held on November 11 in Bangkok during Devcon. Autonomys is a decentralized AI (deAI) vertical stack that includes distributed storage, distributed computing, and a suite of decentralized applications (dApps). This vertical stack not only enhances the capabilities of AI applications but also ensures they operate within a secure and decentralized framework.The "DeInsight 2024" annual summit will take place on November 11 at Hotel Nikko Bangkok in Bangkok. This summit is co-hosted by ChainCatcher and RootData, with SoSo Value as a co-organizer, aiming to bring together elites in the Web3 field to exchange insights on the industry, and is expected to attract over 1,000 industry elites.In addition, the conference will unveil the RootData List 2024, which objectively selects influential individuals or organizations in the industry from a data perspective.

ChainCatcher news, the TRON-based DeFi platform SUN.io has announced the launch of SUN DAO. This strategic initiative aims to strengthen the decentralized governance and community autonomy of SUN.io.At the core of SUN DAO is the reliance on its protocol features and the SUN token to ensure security. These features include community participation, incentives, self-regulation, and policy management, managed through on-chain proposals. With the introduction of SUN DAO, SUN.io will transition to a fully decentralized governance model, allowing community members to actively participate in the platform's voting and decision-making processes.

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that Layer 2 and sharding are often described as two opposing strategies for blockchain scalability in public discussions. However, when you delve into the underlying technology, a puzzle emerges: the actual scaling methods are completely the same. Both have some form of data sharding, both have fraud proofs or ZK-SNARK proofs, and both have methods to solve cross {rollup, shard} communication. The main difference lies in who is responsible for building and updating these components, and how much autonomy they possess.A Layer 2-centric ecosystem technically realizes sharding very effectively, but it is a sharding that can create its own rules. This is very powerful and can inspire a great deal of creativity and independent innovation. However, it also presents key challenges, especially in terms of coordination. For a Layer 2-centric ecosystem like Ethereum to succeed, it needs to understand these challenges and address them head-on to gain as many advantages as possible from a Layer 1-centric ecosystem while getting as close as possible to having the best features of both.
