GREAT DWEBATE: It was entertaining enough to tune into Tuesday night's U.S. presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. But it was nearly as rollicking just monitoring the action on prediction-betting site Polymarket and all the memecoins popping up on the token launchpad Pump.fun. Over the course of the debate, the Polymarket odds clearly drifted toward the conclusion that Harris was winning the tête-à-tête. "Trump just getting destroyed," the crypto-friendly money manager and former Trump White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci wrote on X roughly 40 minutes into the face-off, attaching a Polymarket screenshot.

精彩辯論：收看周二晚上前總統唐納德·特朗普和副總統卡馬拉·哈里斯之間的美國總統辯論非常有趣。但僅僅監控預測博彩網站 Polymarket 上的行為以及代幣啟動平台 Pump.fun 上彈出的所有 memecoin 就幾乎同樣令人興奮。在辯論過程中，Polymarket 的賠率明顯傾向於哈里斯在面對面的辯論中獲勝的結論。 「川普只是被摧毀了，」對加密貨幣友好的資金經理、前川普白宮通訊主管 Anthony Scaramucci 在對峙大約 40 分鐘後在 X 上寫道，並附上了 Polymarket 的截圖。

But there were also plenty of side bets at stake – and scads of memecoins launched including DWEBATE, DOMALA TRUMPIS, PEPEDENTIAL DEBATES and WW3, which sprung up to satirize the entire spectacle, or to document some of the more memorable zingers. (Many of the memecoin names were not remotely safe for a PG-rated blockchain tech newsletter.) Some Polymarket wagers paid off handsomely when Trump claimed – falsely, according to the Wall Street Journal – that migrants are "eating the dogs" in Springfield, Ohio. (That also sparked a few new memecoins, including EATING DOGS AND CATS.)

但也有很多附帶賭注——推出了大量模因幣，包括 DWEBATE、DOMALA TRUMPIS、PEPEDENTIAL DEBATES 和 WW3，它們的出現是為了諷刺整個場面，或者記錄一些更令人難忘的搞笑內容。 （對於PG 級的區塊鏈技術時事通訊來說，許多memecoin 的名字都不太安全。）當川普聲稱——據《華爾街日報》報道是錯誤的——移民正在斯普林菲爾德「吃狗」時，一些Polymarket 的賭注獲得了豐厚的回報。俄亥俄州。 （這也引發了一些新的迷因幣，包括吃狗和貓。）

Anyone coming to the debate hungry for a crypto policy discussion went home hungry, for what it's worth: There wasn't a single mention of Bitcoin or digital assets. That didn't stop crypto twitterati from sounding off.

任何渴望參加這場加密貨幣政策討論的人都飢腸轆轆地回家了，因為它的價值在於：沒有提到比特幣或數位資產。但這並沒有阻止加密推特的熱議。

The Ethereum Foundation, the main non-profit organization supporting the Ethereum blockchain, is set to release an updated financial report “soon,” according to a top official who also revealed that the organization's main Ethereum wallet currently holds about $650 million. Justin Drake, a prominent researcher at the Ethereum Foundation (EF), wrote during a typed ask-me-anything – on an Ethereum subreddit under the handle "bobthesponge1" – that the EF spends roughly $100 million per year and currently has roughly a 10-year runway, depending on the price of ether (ETH), the blockchain’s native token. The last time the EF released insights on its financial holdings was in March 2022, at which point the EF treasury reported a balance of about $1.6 billion. That included $1.3 billion of ETH and about $11 million of "other crypto."

據一位高級官員透露，支持以太坊區塊鏈的主要非營利組織以太坊基金會將「很快」發布更新的財務報告，他還透露該組織的主要以太坊錢包目前持有約6.5 億美元。以太坊基金會 (EF) 的著名研究員賈斯汀·德雷克 (Justin Drake) 在以太坊 Reddit 子版塊「bobthesponge1」上打字提問時寫道，EF 每年花費約 1 億美元，目前大約有 10 個項目。 - 年跑道，取決於區塊鏈原生代幣以太幣(ETH) 的價格。 EF 上次發布對其金融資產的見解是在 2022 年 3 月，當時 EF 財政部報告的餘額約為 16 億美元。其中包括 13 億美元的 ETH 和約 1,100 萬美元的「其他加密貨幣」。

Friend.Tech, the Web3 social network that turned heads as a crypto sensation when it launched last year on Coinbase's Ethereum layer-2 network, Base, shared on Sept. 8 that it was transferring the ownership of its smart contracts to an Ethereum null address, permanently removing developers' control over them.

Friend.Tech 是一個 Web3 社交網絡，去年在 Coinbase 的以太坊第 2 層網絡 Base 上推出時，引起了人們的關注，該網絡於 9 月 8 日宣布將其智能合約的所有權轉移到以太坊空地址，永久消除開發人員對它們的控制。

Among the rapidly growing ranks of layer-2 blockchains built atop Ethereum, the U.S. crypto exchange Coinbase's own version, Base, hardly stands out as a technological pioneer. The entire project was built and launched last year using code borrowed from another team – Optimism, with its OP Stack framework for easily spinning up new layer-2 networks.

在以太坊之上構建的快速增長的第 2 層區塊鏈中，美國加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 自己的版本 Base 很難成為技術先驅。整個專案是在去年使用從另一個團隊 Optimism 借來的程式碼建置和啟動的，其 OP Stack 框架可以輕鬆建立新的第 2 層網路。

That's partly why it's so remarkable that Base has shot to the No. 2 spot on the key industry leaderboard L2Beat, with an 18% market share of 74 active layer-2 networks. Top-ranked Arbitrum's Arbitrum One dominates with a 40% share, but Base has shot past older, competing projects from teams with hard-fought reputations for cutting-edge development, including Starknet, Polygon, even Optimism itself.

這就是 Base 在主要產業排行榜 L2Beat 上躍居第二位、在 74 個活躍二層網路中佔據 18% 市場份額的部分原因。排名第一的 Arbitrum 的 Arbitrum One 佔據了 40% 的份額，但 Base 已經超越了那些在尖端開發方面享有盛譽的團隊的較舊的競爭項目，包括 Starknet、Polygon，甚至 Optimism 本身。
