The collaboration which was introduced through the official social channels of Echobit introduces XDGAI into the Echobit ecosystem as a whitelist partner. It embodies an increased overlapping of decentralized finance, blockchain-based compute networks and AI technologies that are intended to work on the global scale.

Building Decentralized AI Beyond Centralized Monopolies

XDGAI is an AI platform with a decentralized structure merging blockchain infrastructure, federated learning, cross-modal artificial intelligence. The main rationale of the project is to construct an international intelligent compute network, which functions without a single point of control and tackles the issues of data ownership, privacy, and monopolization in the contemporary AI environment.

XDGAI is expected to achieve this by attempting to use decentralized compute nodes and token incentives to train and infer AI models on a distributed network of participants. This architecture enables contributors to contribute computing resources while ensuring privacy-preserving data practices, which is increasingly becoming a requirement as AI is being adopted faster across industries.

Key Components of the XDGAI Ecosystem

One of the key aspects of the design of XDGAI is its Neuronal Economic System (NES), a token-based incentive system that compensates nodes of decentralized compute power and intelligence to the network. 

Federated learning techniques are also implemented in XDGAI, so that the training of AI does not require that the raw data is centralized. This is useful in keeping sensitive information secure, yet enables collaborative learning to be used by models to enhance them. Also, this platform is aimed at cross-modal AI, support systems that could process and combine various data types, like text, images, and other modalities, in a single decentralized system.

Why the Partnership Matters for Echobit

In the case of Echobit Exchange, its collaboration with XDGAI makes it clear that the company is committed to the development of the projects that will help spread the utility of blockchain beyond trading and speculation. Being a worldwide crypto exchange with derivatives trading activities in most of the leading digital currencies, Echobit has been becoming more associated with infrastructure-oriented efforts in fields like AI, decentralized computing, and Web4 development.

Onboarding XDGAI as a whitelist partner, Echobit will give the project better ecosystem exposure and enhance its own identity as a platform that is enabling innovation at the cross-point between blockchain and emerging technologies. Both the partnership and the larger market trends are indicative of exchanges seeking to enter into a partnership with AI-native Web3 projects providing real-world utility.

Advancing the Future of Open, Decentralized AI

Both Echobit and XDGAI underline that the collaboration is based on the common idea of decentralized AI development. With the increasing focus on centralized AI control, data silos, and limited accessibility to compute resources, decentralized solutions are becoming increasingly popular in the Web3 ecosystem.

The partnership is expected to help in the expansion of a self-evolutionary AI ecosystem, in which actors will be able to donate assets, maintain data sovereignty, and gain economic advantages by being part of a network. The collaboration aims to increase the process of decentralized intelligence adoption and experimentation through integrating Echobit exchange infrastructure with the decentralized AI of XDGAI.

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, February 9th, 2026, Chainwire

ORQO Group, an institutional asset manager and technology platform operating at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain, announced that its fintech platform, Soil, has introduced a Single Asset Vault (SAV) on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This streamlines how institutions aggregate capital and manage on-chain lending activity, positioning Soil as an early institutional adopter of the forthcoming XLS-66 amendment.

Institutional fundraising and loan management are often fragmented across banks, custodians, and internal systems, resulting in manual reconciliation, delayed risk assessment, and operational bottlenecks. SAV is designed to address these obstacles by aggregating capital into a unified on-chain structure, thus creating a single source of truth for deployed assets and loan performance.

Through SAV, institutional lenders can pool capital denominated in RLUSD directly on the XRPL, enabling near-instant settlement and predictable transaction costs. By consolidating fundraising into a single asset on one ledger, the vault structure reduces operational friction once capital deployment begins.

“We are on the verge of Web3 supporting real, high volume institutional workflows, not just technical primitives,” said Nick Motz, CEO of ORQO Group and CIO of Soil. “By recording loan activity directly on-ledger while maintaining off-chain underwriting and risk controls, we are significantly reducing operational overhead and safeguarding institutional standards.”

The SAV operates in conjunction with the XRPL Lending Protocol to record and enforce core loan lifecycle events on-ledger, including loan creation, interest accrual, and repayment tracking. Credit underwriting, borrower assessment, and risk management remain off-chain, consistent with institutional lending practices. Accounting and reporting are derived directly from the ledger, enabling continuous visibility into loan balances, due dates, and exposure without reliance on manual spreadsheets.

Soil’s implementation follows a compliant hybrid model designed for regulated participation. Single Asset Vaults can be permissioned using domain-level controls, allowing identity verification, KYC and KYB processes, and wallet screening to remain in place while settlement and accounting occur on-chain. This structure allows institutions to benefit from blockchain efficiency without adopting anonymous or automated DeFi lending models.

Using permissioned SAVs and fixed-term lending rules, Soil aggregates RLUSD from institutional lenders such as family offices and fund managers. The pooled capital is deployed into institutional strategies including money market funds and private credit, with a target yield range of approximately 8% APR. The XLS-66 amendment is pending mainnet activation, but Soil has already begun building on XRPL, with a planned demonstration of fund flows.

Soil’s Single Asset Vault is a foundational product step toward automated, scalable on-chain asset management. For the XRPL ecosystem, this provides a concrete use case of how native lending primitives can support compliant, institutional-grade credit markets.

About Soil

Soil is a blockchain-based lending protocol that bridges the gap between traditional finance and the crypto world, reshaping corporate debt and fixed-income investments. It is a debt marketplace where established companies can obtain financing, and crypto investors can lend their stablecoins to earn yield derived from Real World Assets that exist off-chain. Soil makes money by taking a percentage of the interest paid by borrowers to lenders and fees earned from facilitating their connection.

A trader on the Polymarket platform has recently made over $10 million in total profits by placing accurate bets on various events on the decentralized betting network, a move that has further raised concerns about insider trading on prediction markets.

Polymarket is a decentralized prediction market that allows users to place bets on the outcome of events such as sports, economics, politics, etc., and as a result, earn money if their predictions are right. Polymarket is currently the largest prediction market in the DeFi landscape, with a $369.69 million in TVL, according to data from DeFiLlama. Kalshi, OPINION, Probable, and Predict.fun are the second, third, fourth, and fifth largest prediction markets in that respective order in terms of TVL as per DeFiLlama metrics.

Let's meet a top Polymarket trader named “kch123.”He has made over $11M in total profits.During the 2026 #SuperBowlLX , he placed 5 bets.All 5 bets won, making $1.8M in just one day.Here are his profits:• $986,792 from Spread: Seahawks (-4.5)• $298,946 from Seahawks… pic.twitter.com/LpgEWRcLQT

— Lookonchain (@lookonchain) February 9, 2026

Trader Gains Through Strategic Betting

Today, market analyst Lookonchain spotted a prominent trader recognized as “kch123,” who has achieved significant profits on the Polymarket platform. According to the on-chain metrics, Lookonchain identified that the kch123 trader recently made over $11 million in total profits through betting on different events on Polymarket.  

Lookonchain’s data analysis indicates that the trader placed five bets during the 2026 Super Bowl game that occurred on February 8, 2026. Fortunately, he won all five bets, making $1.8 million in just one day. Based on the snapchat of his profits during that day, the kch123 trader earned $986,792 from a spread bet on the Seahawks (-4.5). He also earned $298,946 from Seahawks vs. Patriots. He further earned $235,343 from Will the Seattle Seahawks win Super Bowl 2026. Moreover, he earned $220,760 from Spread: Seahawks (-5.5), and also earned $62,507 from Will the New England Patriots win Super Bowl 2026.

With the latest earnings, the kch123 trader has ended up making over $11 million in profit from all his well-trend trades on Polymarket.

While the trader’s high betting success rate may point out that this is not a stroke of luck, there is no evidence of an insider trading deal. Recently, the crypto community aired divided opinions regarding the operations of prediction markets. Some crypto users feel that prediction markets are engaging in insider trading, revealing hidden information to some participants to produce more accurate forecasts at the expense of others.

Polymarket Captures Top Prediction Market Position

Amid the controversy, the past, Polymarket denounced claims of market manipulation, as it captured attention with large-scale bets on the 2024 US presidential election. The market cited no evidence of such malpractices in relation to betting activity.

Meanwhile, Polymarket has emerged as the leading prediction market, after it generated $1.08 million in trading fee revenue over the past week, as per the latest metrics from Dune Analytics. The record places it as the leader of the prediction market sector, ahead of its rivals. 

Its closed competitors include OPINION and Limitless Exchange, which secured the second and third positions after generating trading fees worth $878,000 and $147,000 last week, respectively.   

Ethereum scaling has entered a new phase: it’s become not only a battle for TVL or transaction speed; it’s now an all-out war for mind share. Growing social interaction has become an early sign for both the health of a project and the expected expansion of its network as the Web3 space evolves.

On February 9, 2026, Phoenix Group published data highlighting a major shift in how Layer-2 projects move into and out of the top tier. The findings show that some projects are gaining traction with the crypto community far faster than others.

Linea and Starknet – The New Titans of Engagement

Based on recent social activity metrics, Linea now leads in community engagement. Recently, they showed the largest number of engaged posts at 3,1000 and total user interaction over a 24-hour period more than 3,500,000. The growth is due largely to Linea’s incentive programs and the presence of many high-performance dApps within the Linea network, which will continue to promote frequent user interactions.

Coming in second place was Starknet (STRK) with 2600 engaged posts, and while their total interaction count of 328100 is less than Linea’s; they had a high volume of unique posts indicating a decentralized and vocal base of contributors. Starknet has recently shifted their efforts toward optimizing smart contracts built in Cairo thereby accelerating their developer base and resulting in a strong social media presence.

The Rise of “Social-First” Scaling Solutions

Celo (CELO) has recently shifted to Ethereum L-2, which is quite a shock for a new project in such high demand. Celo’s 2.6 million interactions exceed those seen by Starknet, proving that Celo’s first model and commitment to providing real-world use cases can attract users. This is in line with a larger movement toward creating usable products rather than using terms from a technical point of view.

Likewise, ZKsync and Stacks continue to have a base of support that is stable. Stacks in particular has drawn significant attention from users seeking to add smart contract capabilities to the Bitcoin network. This concept continues to generate high engagement rates whenever there is notable price movement in the market.

Evolving Dynamics – From POL to ARB

This research analyzed the activity level of the major blockchain platforms. The two leaders, Polygon (POL) and Arbitrum (ARB), have maintained relatively constant activity rates over time but are competing against newer, more popular platforms.

With 80.3K interactions with users, Arbitrum’s level of engagement is less than that of the top platforms; however, it is considered the backbone of the DeFi industry as an active participant. The development of the community is typically on an institutional and technical focus, which may not produce a large amount of viral interaction in the short-term but will retain users for extended periods.

Conclusion

Social engagement is a critical benchmark of success for any blockchain project. Among the newest rankings of projects, for instance, Celo is on the rise (fast) while Starknet and Linea are in competition. Investors and developers can use these metrics to help predict which direction the community will grow in. As there are more projects in the L-2 space than ever before (crowded), having a strong social signal will be equally important compared to the actual technology.

Imagine walking into a bar and proving you are over 21 without showing your ID, birthdate, or address. You simply present a “cryptographic tick” that guarantees you are of legal age, and the bouncer knows it is true without learning anything else about you. This concept is Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP), the foundation of a new blockchain project currently in its presale phase. The ZKP ecosystem uses this technology to verify truth without revealing the secret.

While centralized giants extract value from data without compensation, ZKP offers a decentralized alternative where you maintain ownership. This initiative represents a shift toward a privacy-first economy, positioning itself as a major infrastructure play for 2026.

The Privacy Paradox Solved

The core technology powering this ecosystem relies on advanced cryptography known as zk-SNARKs. In simple terms, this technology allows one party to prove they possess specific information without ever showing that information to the verifier. This solves a massive problem in the digital world where verifying data usually means exposing it to potential breaches. For example, current systems often require you to upload full documents just to prove one small fact, which leaves your personal records vulnerable to theft. 

The ZKP project changes this dynamic entirely. By using the BLS12-381 elliptic curve, the network provides approximately 128-bit security, which is comparable to the standards used by governments and financial institutions. This security level ensures that your private data remains in your control while still being useful and verifiable to the outside world. It effectively eliminates the trade-off between utility and privacy that has defined the internet for decades.

The Data Marketplace Innovation

The ZKP Ecosystem applies this cryptographic technology to the trillion-dollar data market through a decentralized platform. For the first time, individuals can sell valuable insights from their medical or financial history to large companies without ever exposing their actual private records. The system works by allowing buyers to verify the quality and accuracy of the data using zk-SNARKs before they pay for it.

Key features of this marketplace include:

Data Sovereignty: Users tokenize their data assets and retain full ownership rather than handing rights over to a platform.

Tiered Access: Providers set specific access levels, ranging from free metadata previews to full dataset access, controlling exactly what buyers can see.

Fair Compensation: Unlike traditional models where platforms take all the profit, this system allows users to keep 80% of the revenue generated from their data sales.

This structure creates a fair economy where contributors are finally rewarded for the value they generate.

Building the Infrastructure

The ZKP project is not just software; it is a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) that relies on real hardware contributions. The network runs on a hybrid consensus model that combines Proof of Intelligence (PoI) and Proof of Space (PoSp). This means validators earn rewards for performing useful AI computations or providing storage space, rather than wasting energy on random mathematical puzzles.

 To make this accessible, the project introduced Proof Pods, which are purpose-built tablet devices that generate the necessary zero-knowledge proofs. These devices consume only about 10 watts of power, offering a 99% reduction in energy usage compared to traditional Bitcoin mining. By distributing these devices, the project ensures the network remains secure and decentralized while offering participants a way to earn daily rewards in ZKP coins. This hardware-based approach creates a robust physical foundation for the privacy network, ensuring stability and consistent performance as the ecosystem expands.

The Presale Opportunity

Privacy is shaping up to be the dominant narrative for 2026, and the ZKP project positions itself as the “toll booth” token for this new economy. The project is currently in Stage 2 of its presale auction, a critical phase for early adopters looking to enter before the mainnet launch. During this stage, 190 million ZKP coins are released daily, distributed proportionally based on the contribution amount relative to the total daily purchases.

This fair distribution model prevents large buyers from monopolizing the supply early on. Experts are calling this the “Freedom Trade” because it invests in an asset class that monetizes privacy protection rather than data exploitation. With the mainnet launch projected for 2027-2028, joining the presale now offers a strategic entry point into the infrastructure that could power the next generation of secure AI. This offers a rare chance to own the foundation of future privacy.

Conclusion

The ZKP project offers a practical solution to the data privacy crisis by combining zero-knowledge cryptography with a fair economic model. By allowing users to prove facts without revealing secrets, it creates a secure environment for the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and data commerce. 

The presale represents a unique moment to support a system where individuals finally get paid for the value they create. As the project moves through its roadmap toward a 2026 public testnet, it stands as a strong contender in the shift toward a decentralized future. This is more than just a new token; it is a vital mechanism for reclaiming control over your own digital identity.

Pundi AI has partnered with ZenO to revolutionize training in Physical AI systems. With more information from the real world and from first person human experience to power robotics and autonomous machines as we move into the age of Artificial Intelligence being able to learn from something other than just text & code, the collaboration will combine ZenO’s datasets with an on-chain record of where that data came from, to create a marketplace for acquiring realistic, verifiable data that connects digital intelligence (AI) and real-world physical environments.

The Missing Link – Why Physical AI Needs Reality

To enable robots to function anywhere other than a laboratory, they need to be able to comprehend human movement, the space around those movements, and how to make decisions by considering context. Most used datasets are missing an essential component – the “first-person” viewpoint of the world. This is important information if we want to build robots that can function as humans do in a city with crowds or manipulate very fragile items as humans do.

This cooperation uses real-world human experiences to build machine-readable workload data sets. “Physical AI needs to directly experience the world,” the release said. Wearable technologies like smart glasses will be used to collect sensory-based data from the user’s eyes and hearing as a living entity. Ego-centric data is best for training autonomous systems since it reflects how biological entities and autonomous systems experience their environments.

Ensuring Data Integrity Through On-chain Provenance

A prominent aspect of this partnership is the focus on on-chain provenance. As AI hallucinations and deepfakes become commonplace, the integrity of the training data is critical. With data provenance being recorded on a blockchain, Pundi AI creates a system in which the data in their marketplace can be confirmed, tracked and immutable.

By decentralizing how we manage data, developers can trace back the source and history of the datasets they buy and therefore will be less likely to train models for robotics on data that has been altered or biased. The result is safer and more reliable autonomous AI. This also fits into a wider trend of using blockchain to secure supply chains across different areas in the Web3 world, including sports data integration and creative assets.

Empowering the Pundi AI Data Marketplace

As an upcoming AI-to-earn market, the Pundi AI Data Marketplace will act as a central source of real-world data, enabling AI training providers to reward users for their contributions. This will allow Pundi AI to build a more democratic model of AI development and its broader use.

ZenO will enhance the usefulness of the marketplace by providing an additional avenue for data acquisition via “Physical AI” datasets, as opposed to relying only on digital means. McKinsey estimates that there will be an explosive increase in demand for high-quality, specialized datasets created by physical automation as generative AI moves toward physical automation.

MiCAR compliance is not a mere formal regulatory box of XPIN. Since the project is located at the crossroads of Web3, telecommunications, and real-world connectivity via data, regulatory certainty is an essential part of its future success. The infrastructure-based model of XPIN, comprising the eSIM-based data services, physical network nodes, and decentralized incentives mechanisms, places the company in a category where compliance has a direct influence on operational continuity and user trust.

Why MiCAR Compliance Matters for XPIN

In contrast to the purely on-chain protocols, the ecosystem of XPIN is highly interconnected with infrastructure and global data services. This is a hybrid model that brings in some unusual regulations, especially when working with users in different jurisdictions. The active compliance with MiCAR shows that XPIN is concerned with transparency, governance, and protection of users in controlled markets.

MiCAR compliance means that the token design, disclosures, and operational procedures of XPIN are up to the requirements of crypto-asset projects that will ensure interaction with real physical infrastructure and the mainstream market. This alignment helps the XPIN to deal more confidently with regulated financial parties and infrastructure partners whilst complying as it expands its network.

Compliance as Core Infrastructure, Not a Marketing Tool

Since its inception, the platform has embraced the compliance-first philosophy. Instead of looking at regulation as an added element, the project has introduced regulatory scalability to the ecosystem design. Long-term compliance is considered in the network participation rules, incentive structure, and integrations of partners.

Having MiCAR compliance instituted, XPIN now has an opportunity to work more closely with controlled wallet providers, payment networks, and centralized platforms demanding a well-defined regulatory guarantee. This basis also creates the opportunity to collaborate with enterprise-grade infrastructure providers with a higher emphasis on jurisdictional clarity and risk management.

This approach is becoming a necessity and not a choice in DePIN projects that are dependent on physical assets and real-world services.

Entering the Next Phase of Regulated DePIN Expansion

After reaching the stage of MiCAR compliance, XPIN is on a new step, which is controlled market development and the maturity of the ecosystem. The project, according to publicly announced advances, has intentions to maximize its global connectivity platform, comprising the implementation of more eSIM services and physical infrastructure hubs.

XPIN is also seeking to enhance integrations with compliant Web3 platforms to enhance accessibility to mainstream users and remain aligned with regulations. Simultaneously, its project is also strengthening its governance and transparency structures to make sure that the network development is aligned with the emerging regulatory demands.

This approach is indicative of the wider vision of the platform that DePIN networks need to place greater emphasis on long-term value creation, durability, and real utility, as opposed to short-term speculation.

Strengthening Global Presence and Market Credibility

Simultaneously with its advancement in regulation, XPIN has recently made some integrations with LINE NEXT and the KAIA ecosystem, which reinforces its strategic presence in the Asian market. These integrations will enable the introduction of the XPIN decentralized connectivity services in the mainstream user context, and they offer a strong platform on which to grow in the future.

With regulators further distinguishing between infrastructure-providing Web3 projects and token models, MiCAR compliance, as developed by the platform, solidifies its stance as a platform that is designed to operate in a long-term and cross-jurisdictional manner. The project does not consider regulation as a bottleneck, but rather as a scaffolding layer that facilitates trust and collaboration, and extensive ecosystem development.

Having acquired MiCAR compliance, XPIN makes a significant move to become a regulated and scalable connectivity layer in the global Web3 economy.

dForce (DF) could be set for a massive jump, according to a revelation disclosed today by market analyst PumpDumbAlert.

dForce Breaking Technical Pattern

Today, while most assets in the larger cryptocurrency market are down, dForce has remained up. To give a picture of the wider virtual currency market today, Bitcoin and Ethereum currently trade their prices at $69,652 and $2,043, down 1.25% and 3.40% over the past 24 hours, respectively, showing the ongoing crypto market difficulty. However, dForce today experienced an impressive 14.07% rise from its late January and early February lows, reaching a high of $0.003492 today. According to market monitoring by the analyst, this surge was fueled by a bullish divergence seen on the 4-hour timeframe, as indicated in the charts above.

Despite its ongoing downtrend, the price of dForce remains above a trendline (support level) that it has been maintaining over the past two months. Despite increasing its price to the $0.003492 level noted today, dForce has been down 63.0% and 71.1% over the past week and month, respectively, showing a downward momentum. However, after witnessing a weekly low of $0.00225, the altcoin has reacted strongly, suggesting that buyers have returned in action with strength in the support zone.

The analyst identified that the range between $0.0029 and $0.0035 as a strategic zone for accumulation. The confluence between reclaiming the trendline and the formation of an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern reinforces buying pressure at the zone. DF currently trades at $0.00354; it has already reclaimed its move above this zone, a rise that comes after several weeks of sideways consolidation driven by a sharp correction.

Besides that, the analyst identified a major technical structure, recognized as a classic inverse head-and-shoulder pattern, forming on the DF weekly chart. The setup signals a bullish reversal move, expecting the cryptocurrency to continue pushing upwards, possibly towards the $0.01062 target, a 200% rise from the current price.

The current price of dForce is $0.003660. Why DF Surge Is On Horizon

Furthermore, today, dForce experienced an 81.12% increase in its trading volume, another indicator pointing out bullish developments surrounding the DeFi project. This shows strong user enthusiasm in the DeFi protocol. This surge in trading volume is a testimony to dForce’s robust fundamentals and rising adoption in DeFi, indicating it is a hidden gem awaiting to explode.

Introduction

Change and evolution are inherent in everything in the world, and blockchain technology is no exception. Since its advent and application for digital assets in 2009, it has grown rapidly until today, in 2026, the number of aspirant institutions and entities that want to adopt it is constantly rising. Understanding of how blockchains get upgraded is essential not only for traders and investors but also for every user. Two fundamental mechanisms through which blockchains change are hard forks and soft forks. This article is meant to enlighten the readers about what these two terms really imply.

Hard Forks and Soft Forks Explained

A hard fork can be defined as a backward-incompatible change in a blockchain network, which permanently divides the network into two separate versions if the whole network does not adopt the newer chain. Backward incompatibility implies that the older software will no longer be able to understand the newer changes.

Contrarily, a soft fork is a backward-compatible minor change that is meant to upgrade the network and alter the rules, but does not split the network. After a soft fork, nodes continue validating transactions as before, without having to migrate.

Fork and Its Significance

You will understand the concept of hard and soft fork better if you grasp what a fork is. There are two kinds of rules on a blockchain: protocol-level rules and smart contracts that operate on the protocol-level rules. A fork is the change in the first kind of rules that govern smart contracts. This changes the rules that nodes use to validate transactions. The reason behind such a change is that the community decides to bring improvement in security and performance of the blockchain.

As life changes, the requirements to live it also change, and so does the economy. This broader change necessitates a change in the sub-fields, like DeFi. Blockchains undergo forking so that they can be kept abreast of the changing requirements of the world. Similarly, new requirements put new demand upon the chains. Old rules grow obsolete and new ones become all the more imperative.

Hard Forks: How They Work and Why They Matter

A hard fork is a non-backward-compatible upgrade that splits the blockchain into two separate networks. If the network as a whole does not adopt an upgraded version of the software, the blockchain divides into two independent versions with distinct transaction histories. A hard fork always requires a mass upgrade and collective network consensus. Such an upgrade causes radical changes at the protocol level. The user will have coins on both chains after the split due to shared history. But it does not mean that the user will enjoy double value. The market will reprice the assets after the split, so the price of total assets remains the same.

The impetus for a hard fork comes from disagreement among community members as to the nature of upgrades, or from developers’ desire to implement major changes that are not compatible with the existing rules. For instance, any change in the maximum supply of a token or the underlying consensus mechanism requires a hard fork.

You may draw the conclusion that a hard fork is always contentious, as it results from disagreement in the community. However, this is not always the case. A community may unanimously decide in favour of an overhaul, and the network may not split. Splitting occurs only when the members form two groups.

Prominent Hard Fork Examples

In 2017, there arose contention regarding the block size on the Bitcoin chain. One group wanted a bigger block size so that it could accommodate more transaction data, but another group was not in favour of the proposition. Consequently, a split happened, and the outcome was the emergence of two distinct chains titled Bitcoin ($BTC) and Bitcoin Cash ($BCH), each of which still maintains the same history before the forking happened.

Ethereum Classic emerged on the map of the crypto market when hackers exploited a vulnerability on the Ethereum chain in 2016 and stole $ETH worth millions of dollars. The developers implemented a hard fork to revamp the chain, but many opposed the change, and the parallel chain came to be called Ethereum Classic ($ETC).

Soft Forks: Minor Changes Without Network Split

Soft forks are less disturbing for a blockchain network as they are backward-compatible. It happens because the upgraded software consists of rules that are stricter versions of the old rules, rather than being contradictions. As a result, validating nodes keep on recognizing new blocks even if they opt not to upgrade their software. This form of forking is preferred when a gradual overhaul is required. But experts agree that soft forks are limited in scope because of their incapability of introducing fundamental changes.

Examples of Soft Forks

One of the best-known soft forks in blockchain history is Bitcoin’s Segregated Witness, or SegWit, which was introduced in 2017. SegWit removed signature data from transactions and improved efficiency and scalability without splitting the chain. Because it was backward compatible, old nodes continued to validate blocks correctly while new nodes enforced the updated rules.

Other soft forks have focused on security enhancements and minor protocol optimizations. For example, changes to signature formats or tightening certain validation requirements are typical use cases for soft forks in many blockchain systems.

How Forks Affect Investors and Users

Despite one being contentious and the other being limited, both kinds of forks have little to no effect on the trading experience of the users. History is witness to the fact that whenever a hard fork occurred, the holders received an equal amount of tokens on the new chain. The amount correlated to the value of tokens instead of just the number. For example, someone holding bitcoin before the Bitcoin Cash fork received an equal amount of Bitcoin Cash tokens after the split.

However, one thing that the investors must consider, especially when they hold the assets on exchanges, is that not all exchanges will list the new chain straightaway. On the other hand, soft forks rarely impact token balances directly because they do not create new coins or split the chain. Their primary effect is on how transactions are validated and how the network functions.

Conclusion

Hard forks and soft forks are essential tools that allow blockchains to evolve, adapt, and remain secure in a changing digital environment. While hard forks introduce major upgrades and may lead to network splits, soft forks enable gradual improvements without disrupting continuity. For users and investors, understanding these mechanisms helps in making informed decisions and navigating changes with confidence. Ultimately, both types of forks reflect the dynamic and community-driven nature of blockchain technology.

The digital currency market is currently experiencing extreme volatility, but experienced traders and experts see signals that point to the possibility of a larger opportunity in the future. In a recent technical analysis by famous analyst Ali Martinez, Ethereum’s had a historical buy signal based on its price below the $1,959 where the currency touched the 0.80 MVRV Pricing Band which has historically been a precursor for large bullish reversal opportunities.

Understanding the MVRV Pricing Band Signal

The MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio serves as a standard for assessing over- and under-valued assets using the on-chain analysis method to evaluate how far an asset deviates from its fair value; thus, providing guidance regarding the price of an asset. The bands created from the pricing ratios assigned to each MVRV are believed to provide dynamic levels of support and resistance.

When the current market price of Ethereum falls below roughly $0.80 of its price at the time of MVRV calculation, there is strong evidence that Ethereum is in an extremely deep undervalued zone. In this scenario, the vast majority of Ethereum holders tend to show a substantial lack of realized losses.

Martinez notes that this band has been the “generational bottom” for Ethereum, as the last three times it broke below this price level, it indicated the end of a bearish trend and the beginning of a new accumulation phase. As Ethereum is currently retesting this price area, long-term investors are looking at $1,959 as a necessary point for trend reversal.

Institutional Appetite and Network Growth

Although there are positive technical signals, Ethereum has shown to be strong regarding its fundamentals. Regardless of the daily price fluctuations, Ethereum continues to strengthen overall through the continued growth of layer-2 scaling solutions and the introduction of decentralized applications into traditional industries. The merging of both worlds means that Blockchain technology and crypto currency will form a major trend for both market cycles and for an entirely new way of living.

As more people use Ethereum for gaming, fitness, and social interaction, underlying demand for ETH as gas will continue to increase. This growing usage helps support the formation of technical “bottom” indicators in price.

Historical Context and the Path Forward

The Uncertainties of the Present are Frequently Related to Previous Experiences. Using Data from Glassnode’s On-chain Activity, One Can Define the 0.80 Level of the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) as The Point of Maximum Capitulation. According to historical tendencies, when prices reach these new lower ranges, it is often the final shakeout before a new bull market begins (for example, in early 2022 or late 2023).

The current price fall under $1,959 could be antecedent of future price movements up into higher MVRV ranges (2.4 and 1.0 bands), which are presently $5,878 and $2,449 respectively. Traders’ main emphasis is on whether ETH will recover $2,000 psychological resistance and confirm the historical signal with the ultimate bullish target being red band of 3.2 at $7,837.

Conclusion

Ethereum’s current price action has put it at an important point of technical price action. Despite the messy broader economy, the MVRV Pricing Band offers a solid, data-backed case for long-term optimism. Current Ethereum prices are touching levels that have historically ignited major rallies. This is changing the common “sell the news” reaction into a growing “buy the dip” mentality among investors. As always, combining a technical analysis of the market and a fundamental analysis of ETH will provide investors with the best way to navigate the volatility ahead.

InterLink Develops Quantum-Resistant Blockchain with Cutting-Edge Security Framework

While quantum computing poses massive risks to the blockchain sector, InterLink has made a crucial decision. With its quantum-resistant blockchain, it will advance the security defense system to counter this issue while also driving technical progress. Thus, the platform is raising its status as an infrastructure-level blockchain to endure impending computational breakthroughs. At present, AI is advancing the supercomputing power development, raising potential concerns around encryption methods.

Traditionally, these encryption methods were deemed unbreakable. Nonetheless, this idea has finally become obsolete. In this scenario, the digital assets having vulnerability against quantum-based attacks would find it difficult to operate as a dependable store of value. Keeping this in view, InterLink considers such a compromised cryptographic basis to be a key factor in undermining trust. Therefore, to resolve this risk, the platform has officially started gathering a dedicated research group, including top cryptographers.

The respective team will be focused on the establishment and implementation of quantum-resistant mechanisms within the token infrastructure of InterLink. By creating an alignment between the platform’s research and the NIST-level security standards, this initiative is set to meet the top global benchmarks when it comes to cryptographic resilience. Hence, the firm sees quantum resistance as a core requirement for digital assets in the long term rather than just an optional feature.

Reinforcing Blockchain Security to Protect Digital Value in Future

According to InterLink, unlike diverse blockchain initiatives that just react to the threats after they occur, its new initiative will act early against quantum computing’s likely threats. The project is currently examining post-quantum cryptography during the private mainnet’s development, guaranteeing the security integration from the start. Ultimately, this indicates InterLink’s commitment to protecting digital value in the future in the face of critical threats.
