πŸš€ Web3 Technology to Enhance Asset Tokenization and Economic Growth

According to Odaily, on the afternoon of September 5, 2024, at the Web3 sub-forum of the InclusionΒ·Bund Conference, Yan Ying, Chief Scientist of Ant Digital, discussed the maturation and popularization of Web3 technology. She highlighted that as Web3 technology advances, physical world assets, data, and objects will be tokenized and seamlessly integrated with the digital world. This tokenization is expected to make transactions more efficient, accelerate asset circulation, and stimulate new economic growth.

Yan Ying identified two major challenges in asset tokenization: verifying the authenticity of assets and controlling risks associated with asset transfers. She emphasized that these challenges should be addressed through technological solutions. She stated, 'Extreme performance and security are the eternal pursuits of Web3 technology.' In the context of large-scale on-chain asset issuance, technology must both solidify the foundation for 'large-scale issuance' and address the challenge of ensuring the 'security and authenticity' of assets.

To this end, AntChain has built a trusted digital-physical twin technology and a large-scale blockchain open architecture, supporting transaction performance of up to 100,000 transactions per second (TPS), second-level transaction on-chain time, and petabyte-level data ledger storage and processing capabilities. Additionally, AntChain has established a full-trust closed loop both on-chain and off-chain, ensuring trust extension through secure and verifiable foundational technology. With AI-assisted contract auditing tools, AntChain provides efficient, accurate, and comprehensive contract security services.

πŸš€ MicrovisionChain To Implement Key Upgrades In The Next Six Months

According to Odaily, MicrovisionChain (MVC), a Bitcoin sidechain, is set to implement significant technological advancements over the next six months. Xiaohui Liu, the head of MVC's technology department and founder of sCrypt, announced the upcoming initiatives on X. These initiatives include the full activation of the OP_CAT opcode, SegWit integration, and research into merged mining.

The first initiative involves the complete activation of the OP_CAT opcode. As a Bitcoin sidechain, MVC will utilize this opcode to support Layer-1 smart contracts, enabling developers to build Turing-complete decentralized applications (DApps) within the UTXO model. This functionality will position MVC as a real-time testing platform for future Bitcoin features.

The second initiative is the integration of SegWit. The introduction of SegWit is expected to enhance transaction processing efficiency, reduce transaction fees, and optimize smart contract execution. This will ensure higher transaction throughput and improved security.

The third initiative focuses on research into merged mining. By leveraging Bitcoin's network security and computational power through merged mining, MVC aims to strengthen its decentralized security model and attract more miners to participate.

πŸš€ Lightning Network Value Correlates With Bitcoin Price

According to Cointelegraph, the value of the Lightning Network is directly linked to the price of Bitcoin, as highlighted in a recent research report. The report emphasizes that the key metric for evaluating the Lightning Network's true value is its maximum transaction capacity, known as max flow. This metric indicates that as Bitcoin's price increases, the Lightning Network's value scales accordingly. Jesse Shrader, CEO and co-founder of Amboss Technologies, explained that the network is currently optimized for micropayments, but as Bitcoin's price rises, the infrastructure scales to handle larger payments with high performance, making them act like micropayments.

Shrader likened this to the transition from dial-up internet to broadband due to Bitcoin's price appreciation. The report from Amboss Technologies, which builds Lightning Network infrastructure, suggests that traditional metrics like node and channel count are insufficient for measuring the network's scalability. Instead, max flow provides a better assessment of payment reliability and the network's overall performance. By measuring the success probability of transactions, max flow helps identify liquidity distribution and potential bottlenecks, ultimately enhancing the network's efficiency.

The growing capacity of the Lightning Network, as indicated by the max flow metric, could attract more institutional participation. Shrader noted that as channel capacity increases and liquidity is better distributed, institutions may find the Lightning Network more appealing for onchain transactions. This increased capacity could lead to reduced costs and easier transactions for institutions, as larger payments can be routed with lower fees and fewer onchain transactions. According to DefiLlama data, the Lightning Network currently holds over $346 million in total value locked, making it the third-largest protocol built on the Bitcoin network.

πŸš€ WeBank Applies For Blockchain Node Consensus Patent

According to PANews, the State Intellectual Property Office has revealed that Shenzhen Qianhai WeBank Co., Ltd. has filed a patent application for a method, device, equipment, and medium related to node consensus in blockchain systems. The patent, published under the number CN 119172383 A, was submitted on September 2024.

The patent abstract outlines a method within a blockchain system where each node locally stores a transaction chain list corresponding to each node. In this method, any batch package within a node's transaction chain list is created based on the voting information of each node meeting preset requirements for the previous batch package. This allows the consensus main node to accurately identify the last batch package that meets the preset requirements as the target batch package from the locally stored transaction chain lists. Only the target batch package of each node's transaction chain list is packaged into a consensus message package, eliminating the need to package all transactions. This approach enhances packaging efficiency and broadcasts the consensus message package, enabling the consensus secondary nodes within the blockchain system to reach consensus on the target batch package contained in the consensus message package without requiring consensus on each transaction. This further improves the efficiency of node consensus in the blockchain system.
