Draper has been sticking to his previous price prediction of $250,000 for Bitcoin, citing several factors that could push the price higher. He said that bitcoin could overtake the dollar "indefinitely", which he predicted last month. Draper added that in 10 years the dollar will cease to exist because Bitcoin will take its place.

PANews reported on May 8 that Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko released a proposal to "reconstruct the governance process of AllCoreDevs", aiming to optimize the functional decision-making mechanism in network upgrades. The proposal proposes to clarify the strategic direction of the "fork focus" (e.g., extensibility, developer experience, etc.) before each hard fork, and evaluate the feature proposal through a standardized template that requires a clear description of the technical value, risks, and community impact. The new process uses a two-stage review: early community discussion and later testnet validation, with only 1-2 core functions advanced for each layer of upgrade to avoid resource dispersion. For controversial cases such as EOF, it is stipulated that rejected proposals may not be resubmitted in other forms in the same cycle. The programme also proposes the establishment of a formal working group mechanism to conduct regular strategic reviews of long-term development projects. The reform aims to improve decision-making transparency, balance development efficiency and community consensus, and is expected to significantly improve Ethereum's upgrade governance model. raise

Gate.io News bot message, Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko released a new proposal aimed at restructuring the AllCoreDevs governance process. The proposal focuses on optimizing the selection mechanism for flagship features in network upgrades, specifically including clarifying fork priorities, limiting one flagship feature per layer, establishing a dual-phase community feedback mechanism for both early and testnet, and formally establishing a long-term upgrade working group. These measures aim to enhance decision-making transparency and governance legitimacy. Source: Wu Says

Naoris Protocol completed a $3 million strategic round of financing to develop blockchain security infrastructure against quantum computing threats. Its core products include a plug-and-play cybersecurity mesh architecture and a PoS Consensus Mechanism that meets international security standards. The company had previously completed a $11.5 million financing.

According to the Gate.io News bot, Tim Beiko summarized the 210th Ethereum execution layer core developer meeting (ACDE), which discussed several important topics. Regarding the EIP-7935 proposal, developers plan to increase the L1 gas limit before the launch of Fusaka. The current Gas Limit is 36M, and the proposal suggests raising it to XX0 M before Fusaka. Although the specific value is set by validators, it will be coordinated through EIP to adjust the default value for clients. The conference also established the configuration specification format for the BPO fork and discussed the EOF upgrade matters. A developer suggested replacing the EVM with RISC-V. Considering the uncertainty of the RISC-V solution, this proposal did not change Fusaka's decision on EOF, but the development team believes that EOF may not be a long-term execution environment. In addition, the client team plans to delete the history on the Sepolia test network in the coming weeks. Source: Wu Says

According to the Gate.io News bot, Tim Beiko, a core developer of Ethereum, proposed a structural adjustment plan for the AllCoreDevs (ACDE\ACDC) meeting. The plan suggests repositioning the AllCoreDevs meeting to focus on future upgrade planning as a platform, and transferring the specific implementation matters of the current fork to the existing testing calls (ACDT) mechanism for handling. Currently, the agenda of the AllCoreDevs meeting involves a wide range of topics, requiring developers to frequently shift their focus from long-term development planning to short-term technical debugging within the same meeting, which reduces the efficiency of the discussions. By separating responsibilities, the AllCoreDevs meeting will focus on strategic issues, while testing conference calls will be responsible for addressing specific tactical problems.
