ChainCatcher crypto trader Bonk Guy posted on the X platform in response to the recent controversy surrounding his purchase of EMBER and explained his investment logic. Bonk Guy stated that he first noticed the project when EMBER's market cap was about 3 million dollars but did not buy in. After observing for a day due to the rapid growth of platform data, he re-evaluated and bought in from a market cap of about 7 million dollars all the way up to a 20 million dollar market cap.Bonk Guy mentioned that EMBER is the main Launchpad based on Meteora, supporting the use of SOL, USDC, and over 150 tokenized stocks as paired assets for issuing tokens, and employs Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve technology, while also providing features such as token tax distribution, Daily Jackpots, and DAO governance.According to his disclosure, Ember recorded about 51.7 million dollars in trading volume and 561,000 dollars in fees within 3 days of launch, with a total of 2,041 tokens issued, over 41,800 unique wallet addresses, and 149,000 Solana transactions. Bonk Guy compared his purchase of Ember to his previous trade in PONS, stating that he first saw PONS when its market cap was below 1 million dollars, similarly ignoring it for a whole day, and then began buying in at around a 4 million dollar market cap. Rather than whether a popular token has already emerged, it is more important to observe the real usage data underlying the Launchpad.Additionally, Bonk Guy stated that both Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain have multiple successful Launchpads, and that Solana's meme trading ecosystem has developed over a longer period, so there is no reason to believe that Solana can ultimately only accommodate one successful Launchpad. He also mentioned that his trading decisions are not based on market consensus. Some of his past most successful trades often came from identifying opportunities before the market formed a consensus; by the time everyone recognizes it, the asymmetric upside potential is usually significantly reduced.Regarding the recent controversy, Bonk Guy stated that the claim "EMBER has over 50% of Bubblemaps address clusters" has been clarified by Bubblemaps; his previous statement that Ember "was launched by Meteora" is also inaccurate, with a more accurate description being that Ember is based on Meteora's related infrastructure, which is now included in the Meteora ecosystem page. Bonk Guy emphasized that he has no relationship with the Ember team, and EMBER is a personal trade for him.

GLM-5.3-Flash has become the most frequently used and popular model on the B.AI platform, with a cumulative token throughput exceeding 2.41 trillion.As the first native multimodal model in the GLM-5 series, GLM-5.3-Flash features a total of 320 billion parameters and 18 billion active parameters, employing a hybrid architecture that combines sparse and linear attention, supporting 1 million ultra-long contexts, while ensuring rapid response, powerful reasoning, and high cost-effectiveness.Starting today, developers can still call this model for free through the B.AI platform, covering diverse scenarios such as high-frequency APIs, code writing, complex agents, and ultra-long document processing.

The venture capital firm a16z crypto published an article stating that blockchain throughput has increased more than 100 times in five years, with some production systems now capable of processing tens of thousands of transactions per second. The article indicates that throughput alone cannot explain when transactions will settle; financial markets require predictability, including guarantees or censorship resistance, as well as ordering guarantees, to ensure transactions settle on time and operate under rules that participants can understand in advance.The article claims that resilience means no single operator controls access. a16z researchers introduced the concept of Strong Chain Quality, reserving block space to allow effective transactions to enter through multiple routes. Ordering rules must be clear, such as priority fees or venue rules, to avoid MEV and achieve fair price time priority. Additionally, privacy must be achieved through cryptography before execution, hiding intent until it is included in the final transaction, allowing the market to be auditable without real-time previews of unexecuted orders.

The AI Agent infrastructure platform B.AI announced that since the launch of the free activity, the platform's cumulative token throughput has exceeded 10.9 trillion, with a total of 89.56 million API calls, attracting over 239,000 new registered users, including more than 235,000 API developers.GLM-5.3-Flash (Ox Alpha), Qwen3.8-Flash, Tencent Hy3, and Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5 continue to be fully available for free, while DeepSeek-V4-Flash and Vision-Exp versions are now offered at a 50% discount.

The B.AI platform's single-day token throughput has reached 1.33 trillion, with daily API calls exceeding 10.86 million, and the growth flywheel is accelerating.Since the launch of the free event on August 17, the single-day throughput has increased by 289 times, with a cumulative token throughput surpassing 8.19 trillion, over 220,000 new API users, and a cumulative API call volume exceeding 62.58 million.A single-day stable throughput of over a trillion is not the end, but a new starting point—more and more developers are deploying core workloads on the B.AI platform, driving the platform into a new phase of large-scale expansion, from code generation to multi-agent scheduling. B.AI is continuously strengthening its underlying infrastructure capabilities, rapidly evolving towards a "global intelligent settlement layer."

The B.AI platform's daily token throughput has surpassed 1.1 trillion, achieving a 52,133-fold exponential growth compared to the 21.1M on the first day of its launch on April 9, completing a leap from millions to trillions in computing power architecture in less than 5 months.Since the launch of the free activity, the platform's daily throughput has increased by approximately 242 times, with a cumulative throughput of 6.86 trillion over 14 days and over 196,000 new API users. In the face of a continuous influx of massive high concurrency and heavy Agent workflows, the B.AI foundational infrastructure has demonstrated excellent stability—this steep growth curve is a testament to the trust that global developers have placed in the B.AI computing power infrastructure through real code and high-frequency API calls. B.AI will continue to build the world's preferred inclusive computing power and Agent financial foundation.

B.AI platform's daily token throughput has strongly broken through 1.11 trillion, officially entering the 1T+ super computing scheduling new era. Since the launch of the free event on August 17, the platform's daily throughput has increased by approximately 242 times, with a cumulative throughput of 6.86 trillion over 14 days and over 196,000 new API users.A series of record-breaking data confirms the underlying logic of B.AI's growth driven by "free openness + aggregation of top models"—by integrating domestic top models such as DeepSeek, GLM, and Qwen, it significantly lowers the entry barriers for AI applications, allowing real development needs to be fully released. As more and more developers choose to build AI applications here, the value and capacity of B.AI as a computing scheduling platform are continuously being validated and amplified.In the future, B.AI will continue to lower barriers and co-build a more efficient and open new era of AI computing power with global ecological partners.

On August 31, the B.AI platform announced that during its comprehensive free access event for its cutting-edge large models, the total token throughput across the platform has exceeded 57.4 trillion.Currently, the platform has gathered models such as GLM-5.3-Flash (Ox Alpha), Qwen3.8-Flash, DeepSeek-V4-Flash, DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp, Tencent Hy3, and Xiaomi MiMo-V2.5, all of which are freely available to users, covering scenarios such as code generation, ultra-long text processing, multimodal visual understanding, and agent workflow deployment.

HPQ.N fell more than 8% in pre-market trading due to a decline in shipment volume and profit margins in its personal computer division for the third quarter.

According to Nick Timiraos, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, known as the "Fed's megaphone," in his latest article, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh will face a core issue during his first major speech this week in Jackson Hole: whether the persistently high inflation in the United States is caused by one-time shocks such as tariffs and wars, or if the economy itself is still overheating.This judgment will directly determine the direction of interest rates and is currently the biggest divergence within the Federal Reserve. In the July meeting, three officials supported a rate hike, while other officials indicated the possibility of further tightening policies, but Walsh has not made a clear statement. Since taking office, he has deliberately reduced policy guidance, and now both the market and his Federal Reserve colleagues are waiting for him to systematically explain his judgment for the first time.The key to Walsh's term ultimately depends on how he explains why the previous policies failed to bring inflation back to 2%. If the policies of lowering interest rates and supporting employment over the past two years were fundamentally wrong because the labor market is actually stronger than the Federal Reserve judged, then Walsh needs to push for a reversal of interest rate cuts. However, this would conflict with the previous demands from Trump and Bessenet for further rate cuts.

One-stop AGI infrastructure platform B.AI released the latest ecological data: On August 25, the number of new API users reached 23,432 in a single day, with a total of 79,500 new API users during the period; the single-day token throughput exceeded 594.71 billion, with a total of 74.108 million calls during the period and a cumulative throughput of over 3 trillion tokens.Two core indicators simultaneously refreshed historical records. The continuous influx of developers and explosive growth in computing power demand confirm B.AI's exceptional stability and extreme cost-effectiveness in high concurrency and complex load scenarios. B.AI is committed to becoming the preferred inclusive computing infrastructure for global teams, accelerating the comprehensive implementation of AGI.

The Hyperliquid Policy Council (HPC) and TradeXYZ jointly submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), calling for the inclusion of energy perpetual contracts in the regulated U.S. market.The article mentions that in February this year, due to the Middle East conflict causing disruptions in crude oil exports and the U.S. futures market being closed, overseas market participants were able to manage risk exposure through crude oil-linked perpetual contracts on Hyperliquid. Approximately two-thirds of the price changes were completed on-chain during the first weekend of the conflict.In May this year, the CFTC approved the first batch of cryptocurrency-based perpetual contracts to be traded as futures in the U.S., and in June, it publicly solicited opinions on energy perpetual contracts. The comment letter suggests that the CFTC establish a technology-neutral framework to evaluate energy perpetual contracts and 24/7 trading, confirm that exchanges can operate around the clock, recognize stablecoins and tokenized collateral as eligible margin, and allow regulated markets to use on-chain infrastructure for execution, clearing, and settlement.

Gate Launchpool Phase 372 Aligned (ALIGN) event is ongoing, lasting until September 11 at 18:00 (UTC+8). Users staking USDT, GT, or ALIGN can share 10,000,000 ALIGN tokens.

The B.AI platform's daily computing power throughput has surpassed 59.078 billion tokens, achieving nearly an 8-fold explosive growth in just 8 days since August 18, continuously breaking historical peaks.From the hundred billion level to nearly 600 billion, the demand curve for B.AI's computing power continues to rise. The platform maintains stable operation amidst sustained high concurrency peaks and massive automated scheduling tasks, demonstrating extremely high system resilience and scheduling efficiency. Behind this steep growth curve is the global developers' high recognition of B.AI's exceptional cost-performance ratio and very low access threshold, which is accelerating the large-scale implementation of production-level AI Agents and automated workflows on the platform.At the same time, with the full launch of the MiMo series and the ongoing popularity of free model activities, the platform's ecosystem activity and developer stickiness are rising in tandem. B.AI will continue to deepen its focus on AI computing power and Agent financial infrastructure, providing more inclusive computing power supply and more stable infrastructure, fully accelerating the comprehensive implementation of AGI.
