Odaily Planet Daily News The IPFS ecosystem development team Shipyard announced that, due to Protocol Labs' decision not to renew funding, Shipyard will cease IPFS-related engineering, maintenance, and infrastructure operations as of September 30. After the shutdown, core projects maintained by Shipyard, such as Kubo, Helia, and IPFS Desktop, will no longer have dedicated maintainers. The future of public infrastructure like ipfs.io and dweb.link, as well as IPFS bootstrap nodes, will be decided by Protocol Labs. Shipyard stated that it will assist with the transition before the end of September.

Odaily News: NOXA posted on platform X, stating that its platform domain experienced a brief outage due to an issue with Cloudflare, with the IP address suspected to be blocked. The team is investigating the specific cause and confirmed it is developing a decentralized solution that will host the interface on IPFS via an ENS domain.

Odaily News Vitalik.eth posted on platform X, stating that @eth_limo personnel warned that the eth.limo domain registrar has been attacked. Please do not visit http://vitalik.eth.limo or other http://eth.limo pages until normal operation is confirmed. His blog can be accessed directly via IPFS.

Odaily News Vitalik posted on the X platform, stating that the vision for Web3 in 2014 was to build a permissionless, decentralized application ecosystem. Although this vision was once overshadowed by various "meta" and "narratives," its core technologies are becoming increasingly powerful. Ethereum has now implemented PoS and is scaling, with ZK-EVMs and PeerDAS effectively realizing the "sharding" vision. The data layer protocol Whisper has evolved into Waku and supports applications like Status. IPFS excels in decentralized file retrieval.Vitalik believes that all prerequisites for Web3's original vision are now in place, and it's time to build for decentralization. He cited Fileverse as an example, calling it a model of the right approach, as the application utilizes Ethereum and Gnosis Chain to handle names and accounts. He concluded by saying that the decentralization renaissance is coming.

Odaily News Filecoin Foundation and Lockheed Martin Space announced that they have successfully used a version of the Interstellar File System (IPFS) to achieve data transmission in space. The test was conducted on a satellite orbiting the Earth. Marta Belcher, president of the Filecoin Foundation, said that IPFS can effectively reduce the latency of space data transmission by addressing content and obtaining data from the most recent copy. In addition, the distributed architecture of IPFS helps to deal with data corruption caused by radiation and ensures data integrity through cryptographic verification, which is critical for data reliability in space environments.

Odaily News According to the official announcement, BitMart will launch NKN (NKN) at 12:00 (ET on May 16), and the NKN/USDT trading pair will be opened. Nkn (New Network) is a new network infrastructure and ecosystem driven by blockchain technology, which is open, decentralized and community-shared. Nkn encourages users to share excess network bandwidth, assists equipment service providers to effectively configure network resources, and encourages individuals and enterprises to deploy more nodes to join the network and provide data transmission services to other nodes, thereby obtaining economic returns. Nkn's goal is to use blockchain technology to create new opportunities for network transmission and solve the problems of resource allocation, transmission efficiency and value transmission in the current network. Following the computing power of the Ethereum blockchain and the storage capacity of the Filecoin/IPFS blockchain, Nkn has become a public chain infrastructure that has blockchainized another core element of information technology - network transmission resources. Its technological innovation lies in dynamic routing, network relay proof, highly scalable consensus mechanism and resource sharing incentives. The Nkn token is the original token in the Nkn ecosystem economy, which is used to encourage network resource sharing and effectively utilize excess network bandwidth.

Odaily News The multi-signature wallet Safe announced on the X platform that the joint security investigation with Mandiant (now part of Google Cloud) has made key progress and confirmed that the February 21 attack was carried out by the North Korean hacker group TraderTraitor (UNC4899), which has previously launched attacks on the crypto industry many times. The hacker gained critical access by invading the computer of the Safe{Wallet} developer and hijacking the AWS session token to bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA). Safe said that although the attack caused some impact, the smart contract was not damaged, the system has been fully reset, and more stringent security measures have been implemented, including: •Infrastructure reset: Regenerate all credentials, reset the cluster, update keys and secrets, and redeploy container images. •External access restrictions: Temporarily block external access to trading services, allow only internal communication, and strengthen firewall rules. •Malicious transaction detection upgrade: Cooperate with Blockaid to strengthen transaction monitoring and add risk markers for Safe account master control upgrades. • Real-time monitoring enhancements: Improve logging and threat detection capabilities to enable faster response to security incidents. • Pending transaction cleanup: Clear all pending transactions in the database to prevent potential security risks. •Optimize UI and security verification tools: Introduce Safe Utils as a third-party transaction verification tool, and plan to provide a Safe{Wallet} version that is completely hosted on IPFS.

Odaily News Crypto KOL @arndxt_xo published the following analysis on the topic of "Is the NFT market dead?": BAYC's floor price once exceeded 150 ETH, but now it has fallen sharply to 11 ETH, a 90% drop in US dollar terms. Not only BAYC, the entire NFT market has basically died: daily trading volume once reached $100-200 million (sometimes even $1 billion), but now it only hovers around $5 million. The reasons why the NFT market faces the current situation are as follows: - Unsustainable use cases: The initial hype around digital art and collectibles could not maintain momentum. Although innovative, many projects lack long-term utility beyond speculation; - Liquidity crisis: The shrinking broader crypto market has hit NFTs particularly hard. As capital flows decrease, the illiquidity of NFTs has become a major liability; - Narrative shift: Market attention has shifted away from NFTs. Current trends show that people are turning to Meme coins and other narratives; - Technical limitations: Many NFTs do not store actual content on the chain, but rely on URLs or IPFS hashes. This raises concerns about long-term viability and true ownership; - Market saturation: The influx of low-quality projects and "cash grab" behavior dilutes the market space, making it more difficult for high-quality projects to stand out. Looking ahead, while the current situation is bleak, there are still some potential catalysts for recovery: - Atomic NFT: By integrating files and metadata on the chain, some key technical problems can be solved; - Utility-focused projects: NFTs that provide real utility rather than speculation may gain attention; - Integration with DeFi: NFT mortgages or fragmentation can improve liquidity; - Games and metaverse applications: These areas can bring more sustainable use cases for NFTs. It believes that NFT is a great idea, but it cannot be sustained without a lot of innovation around PFP. If the project uses new ERC NFT standards such as ERC404, it may eventually gain adoption and breakthroughs with good support or promotion. "I do hope to see the return of NFT."
