Wayfinder (PROMOT), an AI interaction protocol launched by Parallel, has opened the staking window for PRIME and will distribute 40% of the total supply of PROMOT to all PRIME staking users. Users participating in the staking can currently choose a staking period of at least 21 days and up to three years to obtain different reward multiples.
On-chain data shows that as of the time of writing, approximately 4.9 million PRIME have been staked.
According to official news, io.net (IO) announced the details of token economics: the maximum supply of IO is fixed at 800 million, the initial supply is 500 million IO, and the remaining 300 million tokens will be issued and paid as rewards to suppliers and their pledgers every hour. Rewards are distributed to suppliers and their pledgers on an hourly basis for 20 years.
The rewards follow a deflationary model, starting at 8% in the first year and decreasing by 1.02% per month (about 12% per year) until the 800 million IO cap is reached. IO uses a programmatic token destruction system, where the revenue generated by io.net from the IOG network is used to purchase and destroy IO. The IO destruction mechanism adjusts the number of IOs to be destroyed based on the price of the IO.
The initial supply of io.net at the time of its creation was 500 million IOs, of which 50% was allocated to the community, 12.5% to seed investors, 10.2% to Series A investors, 11.3% to core contributors, and 16% to RD and the ecosystem.
The transfer restriction period for IO allocated to investors is three years, with the transfer restriction starting at the end of the 13th month and being lifted in 24 equal parts from the IO until the 36th month from the first distribution date; the transfer period for IO allocated to io.net employees is four years. The transfer restriction starts at the end of the 13th month and is lifted in 36 equal parts from the IO until the 48th month from the first distribution date.

Hayden Adams, founder of Uniswap, posted on the X platform: “I have no problem with meme coins or celebrity coins – I think meme attention is valuable and it’s cool to create a market for it. That being said, the fundamental purpose and value of this technology goes far beyond financial games. And the best builders in this field are driven by positive social change. Iggy could have responded positively and donated the profits to social causes or other aspects. Instead, she (using the meme chart) showed contempt for the best builder in the entire field (Vitalik), which proved his point right.”
Standard Chartered: Bitcoin could reach $100,000 before US election
Bitcoins price could rise to $100,000 before the U.S. presidential election in November, according to analysts at Standard Chartered Bank.
Geoffrey Kendrick, head of foreign exchange and digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank, said on Thursday: As the US election approaches, I expect Bitcoin to reach $100,000, and if Trump wins, it will reach $150,000 by the end of the year. The Biden administration recently showed pragmatism in approving an Ethereum spot ETF, but then Biden vetoed the effort to repeal SAB 121. So Trump is still friendlier than Biden.
The analyst mentioned tomorrow’s non-farm payrolls data, noting that if the data is “friendly,” he expects Bitcoin’s price to hit a new all-time high this weekend and would pave the way for Bitcoin to “rise to $80,000 by the end of June.”
Kendrick added that he is sticking with his year-end price forecast for Bitcoin at $150,000 and $200,000 by the end of 2025. (The Block)
JPMorgan: US cryptocurrency regulation is targeting CBDCs and non-compliant stablecoins
JPMorgan Chase said that the US crypto regulatory measures have been strengthened in recent months, and the stablecoin bill is very likely to be approved before the presidential election. Once passed, it will pose a threat to Tethers dominance. The US House of Representatives passed a bill last month prohibiting the Federal Reserve from issuing central bank digital currencies. After that, the central bank is less likely to issue digital currencies. Emerging regulatory measures seem to oppose US banks participation in cryptocurrencies, non-compliant stablecoins such as Tether, and the classification of all tokens other than Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as securities.

Security incidents
Yang Qichao, a college student born in the 2000s, issued the Dogcoin BFF on BNBChain. Because he withdrew liquidity and caused others to lose 50,000 USDT, he was found guilty of fraud at the first instance by the Peoples Court of Nanyang High-tech Industrial Development Zone in Henan Province and sentenced to four years and six months in prison and a fine of 30,000 yuan.
On May 20, 2024, the case was heard at the second instance in the Nanyang Intermediate Peoples Court. Yang Qichaos defense lawyer still defended his innocence, believing that the virtual currency issued by the defendant Yang Qichao in this case has a unique and unalterable contract address, and there is no so-called fake currency. The defendant and the reporter are both senior players in the currency circle and have a clear understanding of the risks of speculating in virtual currency. In addition, the platform allows liquidity to be added or withdrawn at any time, and the defendants behavior does not violate the platform rules. The BFF coins held by the victim appreciated due to increased liquidity after the incident. If the transaction can be exchanged for more USDT coins than before, the victim will not suffer any losses.
Yang Qichao, born in 2000, was a senior student about to graduate from a Zhejiang university before the incident. In early May 2022, he paid attention to a community autonomous organization called District Future DAO, which was conducting preliminary publicity and preheating for the issuance of decentralized virtual tokens. He created a token BFF with the same English name as District Future, adding 300,000 BSC-USD and 630,000 BFF liquidity.
At the same second when Yang Qichao added liquidity, Luo spent 50,000 USDT to exchange for 85,316.72 BFFs. Just 24 seconds later, Yang Qichao withdrew the liquidity of BFF, resulting in Luo only exchanging 21.6 USDT for 81,043 BFFs. When tracing the source, Luo found Yang Qichao through a common WeChat friend. Luo asked Yang Qichao to refund his losses, but was rejected.
On May 3, 2022, Luo reported to the police that he had been defrauded of more than 300,000 yuan (converted to 50,000 USDT) by investing in virtual currency. Soon, the police filed a criminal case on suspicion of fraud and arrested Yang Qichao in Hangzhou, Zhejiang in November of that year. (The Paper)

Related: Promoting data capitalization: INTO reconstructs the big data value ecosystem
For a long time, in the algorithm black box of Internet giants and in the data islands of centralized platforms, every click and every browse we make has become a tool for giant companies to realize their profits. However, users who create data value find it difficult to share the data dividend. This unequal data production relationship has become a problem in the digital age. Web3 uses encryption technology to reconstruct the trust foundation of the digital world and promotes the redistribution of digital power through decentralization. In the Web3 world, data is a new type of means of production, and its ownership should belong to the users who generate the data.
