Odaily News: U.S. President Trump has been trying to expand his influence over monetary policy by removing Federal Reserve officials and making room for his own appointees. So far, his efforts have been constrained by both the courts and political resistance in the Senate. However, this contest is far from over, and there could still be up to four windows that may reshape the Fed's personnel landscape:
1. The Cook dismissal case: Trump has not given up;
2. Powell staying put: 2028 is the definitive window;
3. Jefferson's fate: a potential ripple effect;
4. The Atlanta Fed president candidate: could become a breakthrough point.
Although Trump has not been able to quickly overhaul the Federal Reserve, the Cook dismissal case, Powell's term, Jefferson's fate, and the Atlanta Fed president appointment still leave four potential leverage points for him to expand his influence. The real key is not just "who gets into the Fed," but how these personnel changes will ultimately alter the voting structure of the rate-setting committee.
Odaily News: MiniMax's revenue structure is undergoing rapid changes. Based on the latest ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) structure, the To B business share has reached approximately 80%, while the To C business share accounts for about 20%. Compared with the same period last year, when the To B share was roughly 30% and To C was about 70%, the pace of model adoption by enterprises and developers is clearly accelerating.
MiniMax stated that with the continued upgrades to the M2 series and the successive launches of M3 and H3, model intelligence and inference throughput have improved in tandem, and the demand for model calls from enterprises and developers is becoming a new revenue driver for MiniMax. (Jin Shi)
Odaily News, according to a 21Shares report, Solana is advancing two governance proposals, SIMD-550 and SIMD-553, which could significantly reshape the economic model for SOL holders over the next two years.
SIMD-550 proposes increasing Solana's annual inflation decay rate from 15% to 30%, allowing it to reach the terminal inflation rate of 1.5% more quickly, with nominal staking yields expected to drop to approximately 2.25% within three years. SIMD-553, which was approved and merged on July 20, will introduce a burn fee for compute unit requests, increasing daily SOL burn volume from roughly 600–800 tokens to approximately 7,500–9,000 tokens.
The report suggests that while declining staking income will directly impact validator and staker earnings, lower issuance combined with higher burn rates could improve SOL's long-term supply-demand structure, potentially driving some capital toward Solana's on-chain DeFi ecosystem.
Odaily reported that MINIMAX-W (00100.HK) disclosed the R&D directions for MiniMax M3.1 and MiniMax M3Pro during its interim results conference call on the evening of August 26. The parameter scale of M3Pro is expected to increase to approximately 3T, with further expansion in reinforcement learning and long-horizon task training to enhance the model's generalization capability and intelligence ceiling. MiniMax founder and CEO Yan Junjie stated that the next phase will continue to advance the coordinated improvement of model intelligence, inference efficiency, and infrastructure capabilities, accelerating the R&D and release cycle of the M-series and H-series models.

Odaily星球日报讯 以太坊研究人员提出一项新提案，计划重构用于验证者加入网络的存款合约（Deposit Contract），为未来抵御量子计算攻击做好准备。
该提案旨在升级以太坊验证者注册机制，通过增加密码学算法切换功能，使网络未来能够支持抗量子签名方案。目前，以太坊验证者使用 BLS 签名验证交易，而该方案依赖的椭圆曲线密码学理论上可能受到运行 Shor 算法的量子计算机攻击。
存款合约是用户质押 ETH 成为验证者的入口。目前约有 4240 万枚 ETH 处于质押状态，价值约 1040 亿美元，这些资产均由现有 BLS 验证密钥保护。研究人员表示，由于当前合约对 BLS 密钥尺寸进行了硬编码，即使未来社区确定新的抗量子签名标准，以太坊也无法直接支持。
目前，该提案仍处于早期草案阶段，尚未正式编号，部分仓库维护者建议将其编号为 EIP-8394。若获得通过，新版本存款合约将允许不同密码学方案并存，并通过标签机制区分不同签名系统：BLS 签名标记为 0，未来其他抗量子方案可使用新的标记。（CoinDesk）
