ChainCatcher news, according to official information, Aethir is officially advancing decentralized governance, gradually transitioning to a decentralized governance model in multiple stages. The specific roadmap is divided into four stages: development phase, community education, beta testing, and full launch.The core component of the Aethir governance model is the establishment of a governance committee. This committee will play a key role in facilitating discussions, guiding the decision-making process, and ensuring that proposals align with Aethir's mission and goals. It includes three main groups: computing power providers, validators, and ATH stakers.In addition, key areas of governance include product development and direction, network parameters and policies, ecosystem partner expansion, token economics, staking rewards, and more.

ChainCatcher news, Li Rongbin, founding partner of SevenX Ventures, stated during the "User-Centric: Exploring New Opportunities for Web3 Applications" Space organized by RootData that over the past year, projects supported by venture capital (VC) have become increasingly unpopular, with many cryptocurrencies listed on centralized exchanges performing poorly, and the crypto market has returned to the on-chain era.He pointed out that this is a constantly swinging process, involving not only centralization and decentralization but also the pursuit of meaning and utility. For example, Ethereum was once the leader in the single-chain era, but the market has now evolved into a multi-chain competitive landscape. Throughout this process, Ethereum has experienced multiple ups and downs.Overall, the crypto market resembles a pendulum that is constantly swinging, with market trends changing dynamically.

ChainCatcher message, Vitalik responded to comments about "the level of governance in Zuzalu, Apecoin governance forum, and Arbitrum DAO" by stating: "Technically, any currency is permissioned: you need to obtain permission from an existing holder to become a holder.This indicates that there is actually a continuous trade-off between the permission levels of Apecoin and ZuVillage, and we can imagine a structure in between: becoming a member requires obtaining permission from multiple existing members, but it is still very open.For example, you can imagine a mechanism in the style of secondary financing, weighted by existing member points, to accumulate membership points. This is what I hope to see in OP Citizen House, Zuzalu community, and other DAOs that are experimenting. Formalizing and measuring membership is upstream of any formal governance, and it would be really cool if there were more ways to achieve highly decentralized and permissionless formal membership, but not just through token holding."

ChainCatcher news, UniSat CEO Lorenzo posted on the X platform that over the past year, the decentralization of BRC-20 has been higher than expected. Currently, the community's various views on UniSat's so-called influence in the BRC-20 ecosystem can be temporarily set aside, focusing solely on the technical development and impact of BRC-20. As an index service provider, UniSat's actual impact on the BRC-20 standard can be considered negligible.Over the past year, UniSat's understanding of this has gradually changed, investing a lot of effort to advance the standard through proposals and iterations. However, as observed over the past 12 months, it has proven that UniSat's progress in standardization has been both slow and challenging.

ChainCatcher news, Token2049 launched the Decentralized Artificial Intelligence Society (DAIS), aimed at promoting safe and beneficial artificial intelligence by facilitating collaboration between cryptocurrency and other organizations working within the emerging decentralized artificial intelligence ecosystem.With the support of founding members CETI Al, Filecoin Foundation, Bloq, Hypercycle, Morpheus, Hemi, Odyssey, and Lumerin, the nonprofit DAIS will help the industry unite to overcome barriers in capital, engineering, policy, and public education, in order to better compete with centralized models in the AI arms race. DAIS believes that artificial intelligence must be open and decentralized to serve humanity, rather than the interests of a few tech giants.
