ChainCatcher news, according to Beincrypto, scammers have taken advantage of the hype surrounding the TRUMP token released by Trump last week, sending fake coins to wallets associated with the TRUMP team and its creators, leading cryptocurrency traders closely monitoring these wallets to mistakenly purchase these worthless tokens. They believed that the Trump meme coin team intended to buy these tokens and had insider information. The scammers anticipated this behavior and profited from it.According to data from Global Ledger, four scam tokens related to Trump have generated at least $857.5 million in revenue. These tokens—JMilei, MELON, WTRUMP, and PUTIN—have been cashed out on multiple major exchanges. Further investigation revealed that the PUTIN, KING, and BUFFET tokens are associated with the same deposit wallet on Binance. These wallets have collectively withdrawn $91.3 million. This pattern suggests that the same entity or group may have created and cashed out these tokens.

ChainCatcher news, the privacy-preserving computing network Nillion officially stated on platform X that Nillion is not another AI token, but the infrastructure required for all AI agents to handle private data. Pioneers in the AI agent field (Virtuals, Capx, Ritual) have chosen Nillion as their privacy solution.Without good data, AI agents will be at a loss. But no one is willing to expose their valuable data. Practical agents need access to more than just Twitter information; role agents should be able to share private thoughts and memories with each other. Nillion is dedicated to solving this problem. Blind computation will allow AI agents to store and process encrypted data without needing to decrypt it.Currently:Over 40,000 users are using the AI Lingo integration;3 leading AI platforms are in the process of integration;Although the mainnet has not yet launched, its ecosystem is growing rapidly.AI agents need access to private data to scale. This is why Virtuals, Capx, and Rituals have invested development resources into privacy infrastructure earlier than other companies.Previous news, the privacy-preserving computing network Nillion's mainnet will launch this February, with total funding exceeding $50 million.

ChainCatcher message, in order to give back to the support of N3 Edge V1 users and to allow more users to participate in the pre-mining activities of the N3 computing power testnet, Network3 officially opens the function channel for exchanging N3E points for N3C testnet tokens.

ChainCatcher news, according to Fortune, a study from the University of Kent's School of Computing indicates that if Bitcoin wants to effectively guard against the threats posed by quantum computing, it will need a protocol update, which would result in the cryptocurrency being offline for 76 days. The study also more practically points out that Bitcoin could allocate 25% of its servers for the protocol update while allowing users to continue mining and trading at a slower pace. However, in that scenario, the downtime would extend to 305 days, or 10 months.Carlos Perez-Delgado, a lecturer at the University of Kent, stated that he could not provide an exact figure for the downtime costs, but it could be staggering. According to data from the Ponemon Institute, the cost of downtime for businesses can reach up to $500,000 per hour. If Bitcoin were to be offline for 76 days (which the study considers the best-case scenario), the update costs could reach $912 million.In an interview, Perez-Delgado said, "Even if your technology is down for just a few minutes or a few hours, it can be very, very expensive. What we show in the paper is that for Bitcoin or any Bitcoin-like system, updates can take days, weeks, or even months." However, Perez-Delgado believes that given the emerging and "forthcoming" quantum technologies that could easily break the encryption codes protecting vast amounts of online data, such slow and costly actions are necessary.Perez-Delgado is not trying to be alarmist. IBM predicts that within this decade, we are unlikely to have sufficiently large quantum computers to threaten current forms of encryption, so until then, the threat to cryptography remains hypothetical. But Perez-Delgado warns that if quantum computers do pose a threat, all tech companies must take proactive measures.

ChainCatcher message, regarding the recent market attention on the quantum computer chip Willow and the freezing of Satoshi Nakamoto's private key, Slow Mist founder Yu Xian quoted crypto researcher Jeffrey Scholz's tweet: "The current dozens of quantum gates are still millions of gates away from being able to crack Bitcoin private keys. Increasing this number of quantum gates is not easy, and the noise and error rates will also increase, ultimately resulting in a quickly produced waste in the real world... Let's worry about Satoshi's private key in a few decades."
