ChainCatcher news, Virtuals Protocol core contributor EtherMage announced on platform X that a fix contract has been deployed. When providing tax flow incentives to all creators, we must upgrade the contract to regard creators as the appropriate developers for their respective agents.This way, agents can hold staked agent tokens, which are responsible for maintaining the liquidity of the pool. A permanent fix is applied by extending the maturity period to ensure liquidity is locked for 10 years.

Not many people have the opportunity to work closely with her, but I have. My success in Ethereum has always been tied to her support and guidance.Even if you wish to see changes in the Ethereum Foundation, even if your criticisms are well-founded, please look forward and help build a positive future. Please put away the weapons that harm."

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, with the release of CPI and PPI data this week, economists can now predict the crucial core PCE inflation data for December very accurately------the Fed's preferred inflation indicator.Predictions coming in this morning indicate that the core PCE price increase in December will be below 0.2%: early forecasts range from Morgan Stanley's 0.16% to Pantheon Macroeconomics' 0.19%. These figures will keep the core PCE inflation annual rate at 2.8%, unchanged from November. However, the trends for 3-month and 6-month will move in the right direction.Analyst Sam Tombs from Pantheon Macroeconomics stated, "We still believe that core PCE inflation will decline slightly over the next two months, which supports the FOMC's easing policy at the end of March."

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, the U.S. December seasonally adjusted core CPI year-on-year recorded 3.2%, the lowest since August 2024, while the market expected it to remain at 3.3%.

He pointed out that if he had to choose between "increasing Blob targets from 3 to 6" and "other improvements in Pectra," he would prioritize the former.Vitalik also mentioned priority suggestions for projects like Fusaka and G*, believing that Blob expansion remains crucial, but also emphasized the importance of improvements to the L1 layer EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine), particularly the transition from EOF to full AA through EIP-7701, as well as the introduction of the SIMD+EVMMAX instruction set and a moderate increase in Gas limits.Vitalik also stated that "peerdas" exploration is underway and suggested trying a more ambitious version to further drive Ethereum's technological innovation and optimization.
