πŸš€ Leading Mining Pools Join Psy Protocol Testnet for Performance Evaluation

According to Odaily, four prominent mining pools and computing power ecosystemsβ€”F2Pool, GrandCroix, DePIN X Capital, and Codestreamβ€”have officially joined the Psy Protocol public testnet. These entities will participate with real computing power in network operations, transaction verification, and zero-knowledge proof aggregation, providing foundational support for performance and security testing before the mainnet launch.

Psy Protocol's internal benchmarking has demonstrated the capability to process over a million transactions per second (TPS). The protocol architecture allows users to generate transaction proofs on local devices, while miners verify and recursively aggregate zero-knowledge proofs. This approach decouples the verification burden from transaction volume, enabling horizontal scaling as more users participate concurrently.

Psy Protocol is a smart contract platform based on proof of useful work. By allowing users to generate transaction proofs and aggregate zero-knowledge proofs on-chain, Psy empowers developers to build large-scale Web3 applications and supports the AI agent economy.

πŸš€ Hyperliquid Introduces Cross-Margin Feature on Testnet for Perpetual Contracts

Hyperliquid has announced the activation of the cross-margin feature for its HIP-3 permissionless perpetual contract market on the testnet. According to ChainCatcher, this feature is not yet available on the mainnet but qualifies for the mainnet-level bug bounty program.

To utilize cross-margin trading, the deployer of HIP-3 must first enable it for a specific asset. Under a unified account, all cross-margin perpetual contracts using the same collateral asset can share margin, even across multiple decentralized exchanges (DEXs). However, assets on different DEXs are protected up to their maintenance margin levels to prevent automatic liquidation due to significant price fluctuations on other DEXs.

This innovative 'protective cross-margin' system ensures solvency without compromising user experience. The cross-margin feature is not designed for DEX abstract interfaces, and related interfaces should not allow cross-margin trading through DEX abstraction. Users are advised to use unified accounts or combined margins to achieve the expected behavior of HIP-3 asset cross-margin.
