Messari releases in-depth report on Starpower: Number of devices exceeds one million, team paper accepted by Nature Nanotechnology

ChainCatcher news, according to Messari's latest in-depth report, the energy DePIN project Starpower, supported by Solana Ventures, Alliance DAO, Framework Ventures, and others, has recently made significant progress.The report indicates that the number of devices connected to the Starpower network has surpassed one million. Its co-founder Dr. Jia and the team have had their research paper on nanostructured new energy accepted by the international top journal Nature Nanotechnology in March 2025, marking a substantial advancement in its technology development in the field of decentralized science (DeSci).It is reported that the three-phase "Proof" incentive mechanism proposed by Starpower is the core highlight of its system design. In the first phase, "Connection Proof," users only need to connect their devices to the network and stay online to receive rewards, aiming to rapidly expand the network scale. In the second phase, "Capacity Proof," the system begins to require devices to provide data on energy storage or generation capabilities, forming a real energy contribution curve. Finally, in the "Response Proof" phase, user devices must respond to real-time scheduling signals to earn STAR rewards. This mechanism design, which transitions from shallow participation to deep collaboration, makes Starpower one of the most sustainably incentivized representatives among current Web3 energy projects.

Yu Jianing: Web 3.0 is experiencing a "decentralization regression," and will evolve along the main line of "one horizontal and one vertical" in the future

ChainCatcher news, at the "Web3 Future Night" gala held during the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, Uweb founder and president Yu Jianing delivered a keynote speech on "Key Trends and Outlook for Web3.0 in 2025." He stated that the current Web3.0 is experiencing regression phenomena such as increased centralization, declining project quality, and weak capital inflows.He pointed out that from 2024 to 2030, Web3.0 digital assets will evolve along "two main lines": one is the market capitalization growth of individual assets driven by spot ETFs (vertical uplift), and the other is the expansion of asset pools driven by RWA tokenization (horizontal expansion). Compliance is key for mainstream institutions to enter the market.In addition, he also predicted that the Web3.0 industry will welcome nine major trends in 2025, including crypto-friendly policies driven by the Trump administration, widespread adoption of Bitcoin as a reserve asset, expansion of the RWA market, Hong Kong leading the compliance wave, explosive growth of Web3 AI Agent applications, continuous growth of the Meme ecosystem, Layer1/Layer2 reshaping on-chain logic, simplification of development experience through chain abstraction, and the Bitcoin ecosystem moving towards a new era of programmability and staking economy.

Forbes survey: More than one-third of the 50 Wall Street giants no longer support Trump's economic policies

ChainCatcher news, recently, Forbes contacted 50 top leaders on Wall Street, including billionaire investors, major institutional asset management firms, and the largest wealth advisors in the United States, to gauge their level of support for President Trump's economic strategy since taking office.These 50 respondents were selected for their significant influence. Among these Wall Street heavyweights—more than half of whom supported his economic policies when Trump returned to the White House in January—72% stated that the Trump team's economic plan is ineffective, and 66% do not support his economic policies. Among those who supported Trump just weeks ago, more than a third no longer back his economic policies, with the majority (54%) indicating that Trump has failed to implement his plans.Forbes also surveyed these Wall Street moguls on specific aspects of Trump's economic policies, asking them to rate them on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most favorable score. Their ratings were mostly poor. On the issue of tariffs, Trump received a score of 1.86 (out of 5), with 27 respondents giving the lowest rating. In terms of the stock market, his score was similarly dismal at 1.96 (25 respondents rated him a 1 out of 5), while the executive order targeting law firms was almost equally poor at 2.10—this is a direct attack on the rule of law that underpins the American free enterprise system. The ratings for cryptocurrency (2.0) and inflation (2.16) were also disappointing.
