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.

ChainCatcher news, Bitget Research Chief Analyst Ryan Lee pointed out that due to uncertainties in tariff policies and rising U.S. Treasury yields, the volatility in the crypto market has intensified. BTC is expected to fluctuate in the range of $68,000 to $85,000 in the short term, while ETH is facing a test of support at $1,550. If it falls below this level, it could trigger approximately $480 million in liquidations.From a structural perspective, most miners use ASIC devices for mining, which have a relatively low cost per unit of computing power. The average mining cost for BTC is around $60,000 to $65,000, forming an important bottom support area for the price. Meanwhile, ETH's on-chain activity remains sluggish, with Gas fees staying low, reflecting weakened user participation and an overall fragile market sentiment.Against the backdrop of ongoing macro headwinds affecting risk assets, the short-term trend of the crypto market will depend on how investors interpret policy changes and the global liquidity environment. The coming weeks may become a key observation period for changes in market direction.
