Odaily Planet Daily News: Se Yong Park, co-founder of crypto trading app fomo, announced on the X platform that the company has completed its first funding round, with 140 angel investors participating. The cap table now lists over 200 angel investors.
He stated that early-stage founders almost always misunderstand the dynamic between the company and its angel investors, and should instead view angel investors as call options on the product's success. Even if the cap table includes tech CEOs, celebrities, and athletes, the likelihood of them providing early-stage help is close to zero. As the company scales and builds a product that angel investors genuinely want to use and are proud to share, more and more people will naturally recommend the product to others.
Odaily reported that sources revealed US House Speaker Johnson plans to meet with Republican mega-donor Elon Musk in Texas on Friday. The meeting comes as Johnson campaigns for Republican candidates across Texas ahead of the midterm elections. It is also the latest sign that Republican leaders want Musk to make substantial contributions to help the party retain control of Congress.
Sources said Musk's schedule remains subject to change, and the meeting could be adjusted at the last minute. According to reports, the tech billionaire is considering investing at least $100 million through his super PAC "America PAC" to support Republicans in this year's midterm elections, though where the funds will ultimately be directed remains unclear. Two of the sources said some Republicans believe Musk is considering channeling part of the funds into key House Republican battleground districts. (Politico)

Odaily News According to official sources, the voting phase for Solana's "double deflation" proposal has concluded, with a voter participation rate of 60.69%. Among the votes, 67% were in favor, 25.16% opposed, and 7.84% abstained, with the approval rate meeting the required 2/3 supermajority threshold for passage.

Among the votes, 53.9% were in favor, 18.92% opposed, and 27.18% abstained, with the approval rate failing to meet the required 2/3 supermajority threshold. This proposal sought to introduce a resource-based transaction fee mechanism, charging fees according to the network resources occupied by transactions, which was expected to increase SOL's daily burn rate from the current approximately 650 tokens to between 7,500 and 9,000 tokens.

Odaily News - Coinbase has disclosed the architecture and application of its internal AI system "CEEcil." This system is not a simple chatbot but is designed as an AI agent that functions like a "team member." It can be mentioned in Slack, and possesses long-term memory, proactive follow-up, and judgment capabilities.
CEEcil retains team context through a three-tier memory mechanism: in the background, it continuously extracts information such as decisions, blocked items, and owners from authorized channels; each night, it consolidates short-term observations into long-term summaries; and when answering questions, it retrieves historical memories, recent conversations, and real-time data on demand. The system also adopts a tiered model architecture, where simple queries are prioritized for processing via APIs or knowledge bases, and only complex, multi-step tasks are delegated to more powerful AI models, thereby reducing cost and latency.
In practical applications, CEEcil can proactively join relevant Slack discussions, send emoji reactions, and automatically follow up when issues go unaddressed. Coinbase states that the system also once refused to submit operational documents containing customer identity information to Git, suggesting the use of redacted versions or compliant storage methods instead—demonstrating a certain level of security judgment.
Architecturally, CEEcil consists of a Go service and an AI agent runtime, and connects to tools such as memory retrieval, knowledge bases, real-time queries, and Slack via MCP. Coinbase also has set up a real-time "kill switch," call limits and spending caps, audit mechanisms, and requires human review and merging of the code it generates.
Coinbase says CEEcil is now able to help teams handle production incidents and answer expert knowledge that previously would have required waiting hours to obtain. In the future, the company hopes to expand this model into multiple AI agents tailored to specific teams, enabling AI not only to "answer questions" but also to continuously remember, proactively participate, and complete actual work.
