ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Borderless Capital partner Alvaro Garcia recently stated: "DePIN may be the only category in Web3 whose value comes from outside the crypto industry," and he believes this also allows DePIN projects to uniquely resist bear markets that may affect other crypto projects.In a recent interview at the mainnet conference, DePIN protocol Akash CEO Greg Osuri responded to this viewpoint. The protocol provides users with a decentralized marketplace to buy and sell computing power using AKT tokens and stated that regulators have already taken notice of the project's role."I spent a lot of time on Capitol Hill... I met with a key staff member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee... I introduced myself, and they said, 'We know Akash, it's the intersection of DePIN and artificial intelligence,'" Osuri said, calling the meeting "very productive."Osuri continued: "DePIN is more capable of attracting mainstream audiences than other crypto sectors. Currently, there is insufficient regulatory demand to ensure DePIN is not regulated like NFTs and DeFi, because when regulators study cryptocurrencies, they lump all industries together and regulate accordingly. So I think it's very important for us to separate the regulation of (DePIN and other cryptocurrencies) and ensure that legislators and regulators are informed. (Akash and InFlux) do not care about competition... as a way to demonstrate that we can achieve unity because we all care about the industry... Through this unity, I believe we can achieve regulatory clarity."

ChainCatcher news, Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform stating that he indeed believes there is a disparity issue. Twelve months ago, the discussion was about L1 "extracting rent" from L2, and now the situation is the opposite. We do not want to see a mixed economy where the tax rate jumps from 5% to 95%.If we can design the economics so that the fees for both L1 and L2 reliably accumulate far from zero (i.e., with lower variance in the ratio), many people would be more satisfied. We need to maintain an ecosystem that makes the Ethereum community feel like they are part of the same team, including aspects of technical interoperability, values/culture, and economics. EIP-7762, Base Rolls, and other forms of fee sharing are valuable starting points.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been criticized for allegedly violating the terms of the MIT License in its smart contracts. X user 0xCygaar (self-identified as an AbstractChain contributor) publicly accused the agency of not properly including the required license attribution when using the OpenZeppelin library (an open-source code resource). If confirmed, this omission could constitute a violation of copyright law, as the MIT License explicitly requires that any substantial use or modification of its code includes the original license. X users claim they have warned the FBI to "take necessary measures against the FBI."The MIT License governs the use of blockchain technology, particularly within the Ethereum ecosystem. It can be distributed, modified, and used for free as long as the original license terms are followed. A public inspection of the FBI's smart contract on Etherscan shows that the code is marked as "unlicensed," sparking varied reactions from the community. The implications of the alleged violation could be serious, as the MIT License, while generally considered developer-friendly, is legally binding, and if OpenZeppelin chooses to do so, it can take legal action by sending a cease-and-desist order requiring the FBI to rectify the violation or stop using the code. However, any formal lawsuit against the FBI would face challenges due to sovereign immunity.
