$IOTX
IoTeX released its 2025 development roadmap on February 1, 2025, focusing on four new ecological drivers driven by DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure network) and AI:
1. Physically-aware AI enabled by DePIN
IoTeX has launched QuickSilver, an open source framework that combines large language models (LLMs) with DePIN network data to create high-level AI applications, and plans to launch the QuickSilver testnet in the first quarter of 2025. Developers will be able to use QuickSilver to connect the existing DePIN world with the emerging AI world to create new "perceptual AI applications". In addition, IoTeX has partnered with Eliza Labs to combine DePIN infrastructure with ElizaOS, enabling AI agents to leverage real-time data and services from the DePIN network and control physical devices in a decentralized environment.
2. Made in the USA and Strategic Expansion
Founded in Silicon Valley in 2017, IoTeX is actively working with leading US institutions and platforms, including Grayscale, Coinbase, Kraken, and Robinhood, as well as payment giants PayPal and Venmo. At the same time, IoTeX has joined the Blockchain Association, an important organization in the crypto industry in Washington, DC.
3. Establishing a DePIN+AI Strategic Reserve
IoTeX will create an initial BTC-based DePIN+AI asset strategic reserve for IOTX holders. The reserve will serve as a "vault" for long-term high-quality tokens and assets to safeguard the interests of IOTX holders.
4. Community First
IoTeX will launch a comprehensive community empowerment program, coupled with a DAO-based governance model, to allow the community to directly participate in the development of IoTeX.
Through these initiatives, IoTeX aims to further promote the integration of DePIN and AI technologies and provide more powerful decentralized applications and services to users around the world.

$UNI
Hayden Adams' post mentioned that Uniswap V4 conducted a test approximately 12 hours after its launch, involving the exchange of $1,000 worth of ETH for USDT. In this test, Uniswap's on-chain routing suggested completing a multi-hop token swap from ETH to USDC and then to USDT through two V4 pools, with a total TVL (Total Value Locked) of $400,000. Although the TVL of the single liquidity pool ETH/USDT in version 3 was around $150 million, version 4 is starting to show its pure gas efficiency advantages due to its native ETH tokens and multi-loop route, resulting in lower transaction costs.
Additionally, Hayden Adams mentioned that IMO (possibly some mechanism or feature) will be one of the biggest catalysts for V4's growth, as lower gas costs, better exchange rates, and more LP (liquidity provider) profits are expected. This indicates that Uniswap V4 has made significant optimizations in trading efficiency and cost control, bringing greater benefits to users and liquidity providers.

$UNI
Uniswap v4 has officially launched, marking the latest version of the Uniswap protocol, which has undergone nine independent audits to ensure its safety and stability. This version introduces several innovative features, including 'hooks' contracts that allow developers to customize pool behavior at different stages of a trade, enabling dynamic fees, on-chain limit orders, and optimized liquidity provider earnings, among other functionalities. Additionally, Uniswap v4 supports multiple blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, OP Mainnet, Base, BNB Chain, Blast, World Chain, Avalanche, and Zora Network.
The core highlights of Uniswap v4 include:
1. Singleton Pool Architecture: All pools are deployed within the same smart contract, significantly reducing the gas costs associated with creating new pools and executing swaps.
2. Hooks Functionality: Developers can execute custom logic during events such as pool deployment, liquidity provision and withdrawal, and swaps via smart contracts.
3. Flash Accounting System: Through EIP-1153 transient storage, users can link multiple operations (such as swaps and adding liquidity) into a single transaction, further reducing gas costs.
This version also offers lower trading costs, with new pool creation fees reduced by 99.99% compared to previous versions, and supports ETH trading pairs, resulting in significant gas fee savings. Furthermore, all code for Uniswap v4 has been made public, welcoming community contributions and audits.

$LDO
The liquid staking protocol Lido has announced that its Community Staking Module (CSM) is now fully permissionless and open to everyone.

Additionally, early adopters can still enjoy a discounted collateral for the first validator, which is 1.5 ETH. This initiative significantly lowers the barriers to participating in Ethereum staking, allowing more users to engage in staking and earn rewards at a lower cost.
