Simultaneously, the proposal will direct the .eth resolver to the ENSV2Resolver and update the Universal Resolver proxy to point to an intermediate proxy managed by the Security Council. Subsequently, ENS Labs will complete the final pre-migration synchronization and open registration via the v2 ETHRegistrar.

Odaily Report: Spencer Applebaum, General Partner and Co-Head of Venture Investments at Multicoin Capital, said that Multicoin Capital manages $2.7 billion in assets, will not follow institutions such as Paradigm in expanding its investment scope into AI and robotics, and will continue to focus on the digital asset sector. Regarding the "crypto + AI" concept, Applebaum said that some investors are looking for problems at the intersection of crypto and AI that do not actually exist. In response to the slowdown in capital deployment, he said that in 2023, most seed-round projects had post-money valuations of about $30 million and raised about $3 million, and that using a $422 million fund to invest in such rounds requires more time. In addition, the largest position of Multicoin Capital's hedge fund is the Hyperliquid-related token HYPE, all of which was purchased through the public market; the firm typically holds publicly traded assets for several years.
