ChainCatcher news, according to Solana co-founder toly's tweet, multiple L2s are meaningless. If a single L2 can handle parallel execution, then it can exhaust all blobspace and run every use case. More importantly, there are not infinite useful smart contracts; there are only 6 important main smart contracts.In response, Ethereum community member @ryanberckmans commented that there is not only a lack of imagination for future L2s but also a lack of understanding of current L2s. Toly's post implying "only 6 main smart contracts are important" should become one of the proudest, most absurd, and most mundane predictions in cryptocurrency history. This will be proven time and again in the years to come. 1confirmation founder Nick Tomaino retweeted in agreement with this viewpoint.

ChainCatcher News: The number of initial jobless claims in the U.S. fell to an eight-month low last week, and the number of continuing claims also dropped to a three-month low of 1.844 million. This reflects a relatively small scale of layoffs in the U.S. labor market, which still maintains surprising resilience. Currently, the number of initial jobless claims is low, consistent with pre-pandemic levels, and aligns with the employment market, where companies are generally reluctant to lay off workers.

ChainCatcher news, Celsius Network filed an appeal on December 31, contesting Judge John Dorsey's decision to dismiss its $2 billion defamation claim against FTX. The appeal is currently set for consideration in the district court, marking the latest development in the ongoing legal battle between the two struggling cryptocurrency companies.This appeal stems from Celsius's claim that defamatory statements made by FTX executives, employees, and affiliates negatively impacted its company's reputation and financial health, accelerating its bankruptcy in July 2022. Celsius argues that FTX's public statements undermined customer confidence in its services, leading to a rush of withdrawals and ultimately pushing the platform toward bankruptcy.According to court documents, Celsius initially filed a $2 billion claim, citing that FTX insiders spread "unverified and disparaging statements." However, FTX rejected the claim, arguing that Celsius's assertions lacked sufficient evidence and did not fall within the scope of bankruptcy claims.In December, more than a year after the initial claim, Celsius amended its application, reducing the claim amount to $444 million. The amended claim shifted focus to priority transfers, asserting that certain payments made before FTX's bankruptcy should be recovered. However, Judge Dorsey dismissed both the original and amended lawsuits on procedural grounds.
