"White-Haired Stock Guru" Serenity posted on X platform, pointing out that IBK Research released a report last month on the Boston Dynamics supply chain. The report indicates that Boston Dynamics plans to achieve an annual production capacity of 30,000 units only by 2028, while Chinese robot manufacturers are expected to reach a total production capacity of 100,000 units by the end of 2026. This may lead institutions to begin revaluing the humanoid robot sector.In terms of the competitive landscape, the U.S. camp includes Tesla, Figure, Apptronik, and Agility Robotics, while Boston Dynamics is controlled by South Korea's Hyundai Motor Group. Major Chinese players include Unitree Robotics, Fourier Intelligence, AGIBOT, UBTECH Robotics, and XPeng Robotics. European companies include Neura, Pal Robotics, Wandercraft, and Oversonic.Additionally, IBK Research estimates that Atlas shipments will reach 11,290 units by 2028, and will increase to 20,000, 30,000, 40,000, and 50,000 units respectively between 2029 and 2032. However, Serenity questioned this linear growth model, arguing that the actual volume ramp-up curve is more likely to follow an S-curve. Serenity predicts that shipments could reach 15,000 to 20,000 units by 2028, increase to 40,000 to 70,000 units by 2029, and further rise to 90,000 to 140,000 units by 2030.
According to a post by Vitalik Buterin (@VitalikButerin), Ethereum researchers recently held a meeting in Berlin to update the protocol's long-term development roadmap (strawmap.org). Vitalik pointed out that "Lean Ethereum" is not a single upgrade, but a series of improvements to be implemented in phases over the next three to four years. Its significance is comparable to "The Merge," almost covering the refactoring of every core module of the protocol. The main contents include: • Verification Mechanism: Introduce recursive STARKs to replace the existing direct re-execution method, becoming a first-class core component of the protocol • Quantum Safety: Priority significantly increased, all quantum-vulnerable components will be replaced, quantum-safe Blob design is already underway • Consensus Layer: Decouple availability chains and finality, achieve one to two rounds of finality, with better security and lower latency • State Layer: The existing dynamic state remains unchanged, but new types of state with stronger scalability will be added (such as UTXO storage, ring buffers, etc.). It is expected that by 2030, Ethereum will have 2TB of dynamic state + 100TB of new state. After migration of applications such as ERC20 and NFTs, gas fees can be reduced by more than 10 times • Privacy: Upgraded from an additional feature to a first-class goal, permeating designs such as Mempool and state trees • VM: In addition to EVM, leanISA or RISC-V will be introduced. The long-term goal is for the protocol layer to only directly

According to Zcash developer Sean Bowe (@ebfull) in a tweet, the Zcash Ironwood network upgrade has made significant progress: all consensus rule changes have been implemented and entered the audit phase, and relevant specifications (ZIPs) have been published and are close to final status; testnet activation is scheduled for July 4, and mainnet activation is expected to be completed around July 21. The team is concurrently conducting formal verification work to eliminate potential risks regarding supply integrity, and relevant results will be announced before mainnet activation. The only impact on the client side after the upgrade is the migration process for the legacy pool. Currently, sufficient hashrate has expressed support for the mainnet upgrade; while some wallets may not complete adaptation in time, the team stated they will not delay activation due to this, and ample alternative solutions and testnet time will be provided at that time.

Sui Chinese Official released a post-mortem of the mainnet outage, stating that on May 28 (Thursday) and May 29 (Friday), 2026, Pacific Time (UTC-7), the Sui mainnet experienced three network failures. The first two failures stemmed from a crash vulnerability caused by the interaction between the Gas charging logic and the recently released version 1.72 (which introduced the Address Balances feature). The fix for Thursday's incident was a temporary measure aimed at restoring network operations as quickly as possible while the Sui core team developed a long-term solution. The team was aware that this temporary fix had an extremely low probability of causing network failure but accepted this risk to expedite mainnet recovery. On Friday morning, another variant of this known issue was triggered, leading to another failure.The third failure occurred during the routine Epoch transition on Friday afternoon. When validators restarted nodes to deploy Friday morning's fix, a long-dormant defect in the Randomness State preservation was triggered, causing another network failure.Failure timeline: First: Started Thursday around 7:00 PT, recovered at 13:30 PT; Second: Started Friday around 5:00 PT, recovered at 8:30 PT; Third: Started Friday around 13:30 PT, recovered at 19:20 PT;Throughout the entire incident, user funds remained secure, and no confirmed transactions were reverted after network recovery.Currently, validators have fully fixed the original Gas Charging and Randomness State vulnerabilities, and network activity has returned to normal.
