ENI and Audiera have announced a partnership to build an agent-native economy on $BNB Chain. The idea is straightforward but uncommon: AI agents stop being tools that humans use and start being participants with their own economic identities, wallets, and stakes in what they create. Through the Audiera platform, powered by the $BEAT token, AI agents can own wallets, earn and spend on-chain, compete in rhythm-based experiences, and create and monetize content without human intermediation at every step. @ENI__Official 🤝 @Audiera_web3 The future isn’t human vs AI, it’s human + agent economies.With Audiera, AI agents evolve from tools into economic…
Ethereum’s top 1,000 wallets could lose 20.5M ETH in 9 days without a quantum-resistant upgrade
The top 1,000 wealthiest wallets on the Ethereum ($ETH) network could be systematically drained in 9 days by an attacker equipped with a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, according to new research. The research published on March 31 by the Google Quantum AI team found that the majority of Ethereum accounts have already initiated at least one transaction, thereby making their public keys visible and their funds quantum-vulnerable. Together, the top vulnerable Ethereum accounts hold approximately 20.5 million $ETH, which is valued at about $4.27 billion at press time. Ethereum account vulnerability.

Price has made slightly higher lows, while the top side has stayed capped near the same resistance zone around $2,200. As a result, buyers have pushed $ETH up…
In brief Postquant Labs launched Quip Network, a blockchain testnet that allows mining with quantum computers or traditional hardware. The system replaces Bitcoin-style hashing with optimization problems based on the Ising model. The company says the network could also track quantum progress toward breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography. A startup working with quantum computing company D-Wave says it has built a new kind of crypto mining testnet that replaces Bitcoin-style hashing with optimization problems that quantum systems may solve more efficiently. On Thursday, Postquant Labs launched what it described as the first publicly available quantum-classical blockchain testnet. The network, called Quip Network,…
Tokenization has become one of crypto’s favorite buzzwords, but Grayscale head of research Zach Pandl said investors should think about it less as a single trade and more as a long roadmap with different winners at different stages. Speaking at EthCC conference in Cannes, France, Pandl said that the trend is still in its infancy. Tokenized assets — the process of using blockchain rails to settle, transfer and record ownership of all kinds of financial assets such as bonds, funds and equities — is rapidly growing. However, currently at $27 billion, it still represents roughly 0.01%, a tiny fraction, of…

The drop occurred amid growing uneasiness in the market due to the back-and-forth attacks between the U.S. and Iran. A ripple effect of it was the blockade at the Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime corridor…
