Citrini analyst jukan posted on X platform, stating that Korean media reports indicate China's CXMT is currently testing a bonded DRAM trial production line in Hefei, aiming to achieve high-performance DRAM without using EUV lithography. Bonded DRAM is a technology in which memory cell arrays and peripheral circuits are manufactured on separate wafers and subsequently bonded together. This method allows for the production of ultra-high-density DRAM using only multi-patterned deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography, without the need for EUV equipment.Samsung Electronics is developing its own bonded DRAM under the "B1b" project, and SK hynix is also advancing similar technology. Korean media warns that there are assessments suggesting CXMT may currently hold a lead over its Korean competitors in both the technology itself and the pace of its development.

Ethereum Research Forum researcher Pierre proposes a faster, aggregatable, and quantum-resistant privacy pool scheme. The scheme ports a Tornado Cash-like privacy pool onto the hash-based SNARK system Flock, which may offer post-quantum security, and adopts SHA-256. It replaces large circuits with small “single-pass” compression circuits.
Aptos officially announced the launch of a brand-new execution engine, MonoMove, describing it as the largest scalability upgrade in the history of the Aptos network, aimed at improving the execution efficiency and security of on-chain financial transactions. According to test data published by Aptos Labs, in tests that replayed real mainnet transactions from Decibel, MonoMove delivered a significant improvement in execution speed compared to the existing Move virtual machine. Specifically, collateral withdrawals were accelerated by up to 55x, vault requests by up to 40x, perpetual market requests by up to 38x, and order submissions by up to 22x. Furthermore, internal benchmark tests simulating complex financial workflows demonstrated an end-to-end throughput increase of up to 11x. MonoMove is currently being integrated into the Aptos execution engine, with full feature development expected to be completed by the end of 2026. Deployment on the mainnet is planned for 2027, pending approval via governance voting. All aforementioned performance metrics are derived from test environments and do not yet reflect actual mainnet operational results.
