A third party has also staked 1,363 ETH on Goldshell Stake. Intchains noted it’s pursuing a multi-platform strategy to maximize returns and diversify risk. Strategically, the firm is advancing an AI-empowered operational overhaul, focusing on chip/product development, market sales, and end-to-end business operations. The goal is to rebuild processes with automation and intelligent tools to boost decision-making efficiency. On cost control: Intchains cut its workforce by ~20% early in 2026 and plans to trim it further to a cumulative ~35%, targeting annual labor cost savings of ~20 million RMB. The adjustments stem from organizational streamlining and replacing repetitive manual tasks with technology. Management emphasized focusing on core mining machine technology and Ethereum asset strategies, leveraging AI to lift R&D and operational efficiency. The company plans to launch a new-generation mining machine in H2 2026 (subject to market conditions).

Cobo Showcases Agent Transaction 'Contractual Execution' Solution: Completing Multi-step Operations in One Authorization, Balancing Autonomy and Security

April 21 — At the "Decoding Web 4.0: When AI Agents Take Over On-Chain Governance" event, Cobo showcased its AI agent-focused "Contractual Execution" mechanism in a live demo session, highlighting how the tool works in real-world transaction scenarios. Built on four core components — intent, execution path, constraint rules, and completion conditions — the mechanism structurally defines each transaction, letting AI agents act autonomously within pre-set parameters. For basic use cases like token swaps, users only need to approve the contract one time. Once greenlit, AI agents execute transactions automatically within set constraints. When a transaction completes, the contract terminates and switches to a pending trigger state to avoid long-term permission risk exposure. For complex use cases like cross-chain bridges, AI agents can plan paths autonomously (including choosing bridges, executing routes, and more) and package the full execution plan into a set of contracts for use

Ripple Releases XRPL Quantum Roadmap, Aiming for Full Transition by 2028

On April 21, Ripple unveiled its XRPL Quantum-Secure Roadmap—an initiative to fortify the XRP Ledger (XRPL) against future quantum threats, with full readiness targeted by 2028. The roadmap outlines four key stages: 1. **Post-Quantum Recovery (Q-Day Preparedness)**: Focuses on establishing contingency plans to safeguard funds if classical cryptographic standards are decrypted. 2. **H1 2026**: Proactive planning and testing to assess quantum risks, plus collaboration with Project Eleven to validate NIST-recommended algorithms. 3. **H2 2026**: Integration of post-quantum signature schemes into Devnet, alongside exploration of privacy primitives. 4. **2028 Target**: Propose ecosystem amendments to enable a full transition to native post-quantum cryptography. Ripple noted that XRPL’s built-in key rotation and seed-derived key generation capabilities already lay the groundwork for this migration—positioning it with a protocol edge over networks like Ethereum when addressing qu
