🚀 Web3 Foundation to Participate in Polkadot Treasury Proposal Voting

According to PANews, the Web3 Foundation (W3F) has announced its decision to selectively engage in voting on treasury proposals within the Polkadot OpenGov system. This move is intended to enhance due diligence and transparency in treasury governance as the number and scale of proposals increase.

The foundation's primary objectives include safeguarding treasury funds by opposing proposals with unclear milestones or value, boosting community confidence through clear and consistent voting standards, and acting as a counterbalance to short-term or opportunistic proposals.

W3F has committed to maintaining complete transparency by publicly explaining the rationale behind each vote. The foundation will avoid voting on proposals where conflicts of interest exist and will generally wait for initial community feedback before casting votes. Additionally, its "Decentralized Voices" initiative, which delegates voting power to community members, will continue to operate concurrently.

🚀 Jupiter Announces Major Structural Changes to JUP Ecosystem

According to PANews, Jupiter has unveiled significant structural adjustments to the JUP ecosystem. The decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) will shift towards high-impact governance, resulting in a reduction of proposals and the elimination of working groups. Additionally, the redemption period for JUP will be shortened from 30 days to 7 days.

The DAO will conduct a separate vote to decide whether to destroy the 121 million JUP currently held by Litterbox Trust, which constitutes approximately 3.8% of the circulating supply. Following this, another vote will be held to determine the management of future revenues.

🚀 Vitalik Buterin Discusses Privacy Applications in Cryptography

According to Foresight News, a post by c-node suggests that technologies such as MPC, tFHE, and TEEs can create privacy applications that zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs cannot achieve, although with weaker privacy strength. It is recommended that applications like payments, transfers, and voting prioritize using pure ZK.

Vitalik Buterin responded by stating that ZK alone cannot provide coercion resistance in scenarios like voting. He emphasized the need to combine ZK with trusted parties, MPC, FHE, or TEE to achieve this feature. Buterin suggested that a layered architecture using ZK and FHE can enhance system security, ensuring that even if FHE is compromised, all privacy attributes except coercion resistance are retained. He speculated that this situation might apply to nearly all cryptographic applications beyond zero-knowledge proofs.

🚀 Ethereum Developers Enhance Privacy with Zero-Knowledge Protocol

According to ChainCatcher, Ethereum developers are refining a zero-knowledge protocol aimed at enhancing privacy for on-chain interactions. The initiative begins with a system akin to a 'Secret Santa' matching process, which could evolve into a broader private collaboration tool.

Solidity engineer Artem Chystiakov revisited this research in a post on the Ethereum community forum, highlighting work he initially published on arXiv in January. The concept seeks to replicate the anonymous gift exchange game on Ethereum, where participants are randomly paired without knowing who is gifting whom. Implementing this on a transparent blockchain requires addressing longstanding issues related to randomness, privacy, and resistance to Sybil attacks.

Chystiakov noted the core challenge: "Everything on Ethereum is visible to everyone." The blockchain lacks true randomness, and the system must prevent users from registering multiple times or assigning gifts to themselves. The proposed protocol employs zero-knowledge proofs to verify the sender-receiver relationship without revealing identities. It also uses transaction relayers to submit operations, preventing a single wallet from being linked to specific actions. This type of zero-knowledge layer could be applied to anonymous voting, DAO governance, whistleblower channels, and private airdrops or token distributions that avoid disclosing recipient information.

🚀 Ethereum Co-Founder Suggests Two-Layer Governance System to Enhance Decentralization

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has introduced a new two-layer governance system that integrates anonymous voting with prediction markets. According to NS3.AI, this proposal seeks to mitigate governance attacks and reduce collusion risks. This marks a notable shift from Buterin's 2024 position, which opposed anonymity in crypto governance. The proposed framework aims to distinguish accountability from preference-setting, providing alternatives to conventional token-based governance to enhance decentralization and decision-making within the ecosystem.

🚀 Japanese House of Representatives Election Commences

Voting has begun for the Japanese House of Representatives election, with 1,284 candidates vying for 465 seats. According to RTHK, these seats include 289 from single-member districts and 176 from proportional representation. In single-member districts, voters directly cast their votes for candidates, with the highest vote-getter winning the seat. In proportional representation districts, voters cast their votes for political parties, and seats are allocated to parties based on the proportion of votes received.

The focus of public attention is whether the ruling coalition, composed of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Japan Restoration Party, will secure a majority of the seats in this election. The House of Representatives was officially dissolved on the 23rd of last month, marking the shortest period between dissolution and voting since the end of World War II, with only 16 days separating the two events.

🚀 Vitalik Proposes AI Integration to Enhance DAO Governance Participation

Vitalik has suggested incorporating personal AI large language models (LLM) into decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governance to address the issue of low participation rates. According to ChainCatcher, the average voting participation in DAOs currently ranges from 15% to 25%, which may lead to power concentration and poses a risk of governance attacks.

🚀 Aave DAO Votes on $42 Million Proposal Amid Controversy

Aave DAO is currently voting on a significant proposal to allocate up to $42 million to Aave Labs, with $25 million earmarked for ongoing product development and $17.5 million for milestone bonuses. According to ChainCatcher, as of Friday evening, the proposal had a narrow lead with 52% support, and the voting is set to conclude on Saturday.

The proposal has sparked debate due to Aave Labs' initial plan to limit the development of version 3 (v3) and force users to migrate to the yet-to-be-launched version 4 (v4). This plan faced strong opposition, leading the main contractor, Bored Ghosts Developing, to announce it would not renew its contract, criticizing the proposal as nearly absurd. In response, Aave Labs has made concessions, promising not to enforce the migration and to continue supporting v3.

Critics, represented by Marc Zeller, argue that the requested funds are excessive, accounting for 31% of the DAO's reserves, and have called for the proposal to be split into multiple separate votes. However, Aave Labs is pushing for a single comprehensive vote. Currently, Aave v3 holds deposits exceeding $26.3 billion, representing over 97% of the protocol's total deposits.
