In January 2025, the market capitalization of the blockchain gaming market dropped by 19.3% to $22.3 billion, with on-chain transaction activity sluggish and competition among social platforms intensifying. Despite the overall strong performance of the crypto market, platform cooperation and user experience have become the focal points of attention, with investment activity continuing to decline, raising only $31.2 million.

6/ 🔸 Tokens Launched 1.76M new tokens launched - 2x as much as Base (858K) and 17x that of Ethereum (30K). Solana is the go‑to chain for innovation.

In the Web3 era, on-chain structure visualization is becoming a new trend in the field of security. This innovative approach no longer relies on traditional centralized auditing models but empowers every ordinary user with risk control capabilities. Through a tool called Intel Desk, community members are able to collaboratively track anomalies in project structures, timely identifying potential manipulation behaviors. The application of this collective intelligence not only enhances the efficiency of risk identification but also provides participants with opportunities to earn rewards. This "investigation as mining" mechanism may become the future paradigm of on-chain collaboration. Currently, there is a token that is seen as the fuel for this collaborative network structure, priced at approximately $0.075. Analysts believe that if this collaborative economic model is accepted by the mainstream market, the token could experience significant growth. This community-driven risk control approach is challenging traditional centralized auditing models. It not only enhances the transparency of risk management but also strengthens the security of the entire ecosystem. As this model becomes more popular, we may see more innovative applications based on community wisdom emerge in the Web3 space. In the future, the security of blockchain will no longer rely solely on a few specialized institutions, but will be maintained by the entire community. This decentralized risk control model not only aligns with the core principles of Web3 but also provides new possibilities for building a safer and more transparent digital economic environment.

The trend of ZKification of Ethereum and potential changes in economic models Ethereum is gradually introducing zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology, which not only helps with network scalability and privacy protection but may also have a profound impact on its economic model. With the application of ZK technology in the consensus layer and data layer, Ethereum's performance is expected to improve significantly. However, generating zero-knowledge proofs is a computation-intensive process that requires specialized hardware acceleration. This hardware dependency raises an interesting possibility: ZK mining could become a new type of proof-of-work (PoW) mechanism. This new type of mining model may coexist with the existing Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism, forming a hybrid consensus model. In this model, stakers can not only earn traditional PoS rewards by staking ETH but also receive additional rewards by operating ZK proof generation nodes. This approach not only enhances network security but also provides more for participants.

As the competition for BTC staking and anchored assets intensifies, Lombard Finance stands out in the BTC LST field, achieving rapid rise through ecological strategies and collaborations with other protocols. Pendle and SatLayer are also actively positioning themselves, while the market's trust issues regarding BTC anchored assets still need to be addressed, and all parties are vying for WBTC market share.
