Regulatory issues; 2. If the Ethereum Foundation stakes on its own, it effectively forces us to take a stance on any future controversial hard forks.Regulatory issues have decreased compared to before, but there are still problems with the Ethereum Foundation staking on its own. There are definitely ways to minimize this, and we have been exploring these methods recently."

ChainCatcher news, according to DLNews, Solana co-founder Stephen Akridge is accused of hiding millions of dollars in staking rewards during his "bitter" divorce from ex-wife Elisa Rossi. Rossi has filed a lawsuit in California state court seeking the withheld staking rewards. The couple's marriage lasted nearly a decade, during which they accumulated significant wealth, primarily from Akridge's founding role at Solana Labs.According to the lawsuit, Rossi claims the divorce process was "long and contentious." As part of the divorce agreement, she was entitled to a share of the profits from SOL tokens, but Akridge did not hand over the staking rewards, resulting in her losing "millions of dollars."

ChainCatcher news, Grayscale Investments and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) submitted the 19b-4 filing for a Solana ETF to the U.S. SEC yesterday. With Grayscale's involvement, the only major crypto ETF issuers that have not yet applied for a Solana ETF are BlackRock, Fidelity, ProShares, and Ark. Notably, none of these proposed Solana ETFs will provide staking rewards to investors.This is not voluntary. Solana ETF issuers followed the precedent set by Ethereum ETFs, excluding staking rewards to comply with SEC guidelines. The details of the dialogue between Ethereum ETF issuers and the SEC remain unclear. However, the SEC seems concerned that staking rewards could be classified as securities, as well as the potential forfeiture risks associated with staking ETH.Therefore, when they began applying for the Solana ETF, these institutions opted out of staking from the start. Nevertheless, the issuers have repeatedly insisted that despite the lack of staking rewards, gaining compliant exposure to Solana directly in brokerage accounts makes these products still attractive.However, for Solana, the opportunity cost of forgoing staking is much higher than for Ethereum. According to the Ethereum Foundation, the current staking annual yield for Ethereum is 3.4%. According to data from 21.co, the average staking annual yield for Solana over the past week is 11.4%. The staking rewards for SOL are not always that high, but even in the relatively sluggish month of August, its yield exceeded 8%.

ChainCatcher reported live from the "DeInsight 2024" annual summit held during Devcon in Bangkok, where Gaia's Global Marketing Director Andrew Harrison delivered a keynote speech titled "Who Do You Want to Control Artificial Intelligence?"Andrew Harrison stated that AI is currently highly concentrated in the hands of a few companies, leading to issues of censorship, bias, privacy, and intellectual property. Decentralization can empower users to control their data, ensure privacy, and address the problems brought about by centralized AI. Gaia proposed a decentralized AI network that supports open-source or open AI models, generates revenue through API services, and supports decentralized governance and economic models, ensuring the privacy and autonomy of user data.Recently, Gaia launched the "Gaia Domain," providing a unique identifier for AI systems and agents. This domain system is built on the ENS protocol infrastructure, compatible with both Web2 and Web3, and supports governance and staking rewards, further promoting the development of a decentralized ecosystem.In addition, it was mentioned that Gaia has recently established partnerships with ENS and vana to collaboratively build the future of DeAI.

Investors and community members have complained about the lack of transparency in the supply of EigenLayer tokens. The total supply of EIGEN is fixed at 1.68 billion, with a circulating supply of 186 million, an FDV of 5.8 billion dollars, and a market cap (excluding uncirculated tokens) of 650 million dollars. Many of the questions raised by community members stem from a portion of these locked tokens, which belong to early investors who purchased them in heavily discounted funding rounds.Investors who bought in EigenLayer's 14.4 million dollar seed round, 50 million dollar Series A round, and the latest 100 million dollar funding in February can now stake their locked tokens for rewards. Currently, a total of 130 million EIGEN tokens have been staked. Many believe these are part of the claimed tokens, but in reality, 70 million of those tokens belong to this small group of early investors. EigenLayer investor TardFiWhale.eth wrote on X that the project recently updated its documentation, stating that "Staking by Eigen Labs investors is unrestricted," and that rewards are not subject to lock-up restrictions.
