TON Foundation plans to launch Bitcoin cross-chain bridge service TON Teleport BTC
The TON Foundation plans to launch the Bitcoin cross-chain bridge TON Teleport BTC, which is reportedly a trustless bridging service designed to facilitate secure Bitcoin transfers between networks linked to Telegram. The TON Foundation said that the bridge service is designed to enable Bitcoin holders to participate in decentralized financial (DeFi) activities on TON while keeping their original assets safe.
Anatoliy Makosov, technical director of TON, said: All transactions are executed through smart contracts and verified by TON blockchain validators. Storing and using Bitcoin on TON is as safe as on the Bitcoin network itself, but at a lower cost and more convenient.
Aethir suspends token swap with io.net and launches $50 million community reward program
According to official news, Aethir announced the suspension of the $50 million token exchange plan previously agreed with io.net. The Aethir Foundation decided to launch the Aethir Community Rewards Program to distribute the $50 million worth of ATH tokens originally allocated for exchange to loyal and active participants in the Aethir network to recognize the valuable contributions of the Aethir community and further motivate people to continue to participate in the Aethir ecosystem.
The plan is allocated as follows:
(1) Checker Node License Holder Rewards. $20 million worth of ATH tokens will be distributed to Checker Node License holders, all of whom are eligible to receive a minimum number of ATHs; bonuses will be given to those who have staked at least 2,500 ATHs per Checker License and those who have staked since the TGE. Aethir will take snapshots every day to determine eligibility, with the last snapshot to be taken on July 23, 2024.
(2) ATH-AI Staking Pool Yield Enhancement: The remaining $30 million worth of ATH tokens will be allocated to the ATH-AI Staking Pool within 24 weeks to increase returns and support the development of artificial intelligence applications on the Aethir network.
Aethir claims that the $50 million community rewards program is an important milestone towards the decentralized future of cloud computing and will accelerate the growth and development of the Aethir ecosystem by reallocating resources originally used for the io.net token exchange.

Vitalik Buterin: Against making political voting choices based on whether or not you support crypto
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has expressed his opposition to making political voting choices based on whether or not to support cryptocurrencies. Supporting a politician should be based on their entire platform and views, not just because they support cryptocurrencies.
Vitalik wrote in the article that the cryptocurrency field is increasingly active in politics and supports political parties and candidates almost entirely based on whether they are willing to be tolerant and friendly to cryptocurrencies. But decisions made in this way are likely to go against the values that originally brought you into the crypto field. In the crypto field, people tend to focus too much on the centrality of money and the freedom to hold and spend money (which can also be tokens). Bitcoin is seen as an extension of the spirit of libertarianism in the field of Internet payments.
Vitalik believes that freedom is important, and decentralized networks are good at protecting freedom. Money is an important area where such networks can be applied – but it is only one of several important areas. And being cryptocurrency-friendly now does not mean it will still be cryptocurrency-friendly five years later.

In response to the communitys controversy over the transparency and fairness of airdrops, Sanctum founder FP Lee said in a post on X: This is the last time I will issue a response to airdrops. I know that many deposit users are disappointed, especially compared to those who get airdrops through non-deposit methods, they get a much smaller share of tokens and feel that they have been treated unfairly… I can deeply feel your pain, and I want to express my sincere gratitude to all those who silently support us. It is our great honor that you are willing to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in our protocol…
FP Lee added: “There is absolutely no internal allocation of the airdrop. We don’t know most of the users who have obtained Earnestness, but they have invested tens or even hundreds of hours in Sanctum for free.”
