IOTA’s upcoming Rebased upgrade could be its most ambitious yet, replacing centralization with decentralization and unlocking smart contracts for a future-ready blockchain. On May 5, IOTA will activate Rebased, a protocol upgrade that marks the project’s most ambitious departure from its original architecture since its inception in 2015. More than just a technical milestone, Rebased appears to be a foundational pivot — one that replaces legacy components, modernizes the network stack, and reframes the network’s broader identity in the crypto landscape. Once branded as a “blockchain without blocks,” IOTA’s earlier value proposition hinged on the promise of a feeless, scalable network powered by the Tangle, a directed acyclic graph designed to process transactions in parallel rather than sequentially. But that promise came with its caveats: the project spent years shackled to a centralized Coordinator node that acted as a gatekeeper for transaction finality. Despite efforts like Coordicide, IOTA struggled to fully convince skeptics that it could deliver decentralization and developer traction at the same time. With Rebased, the developers want to change that narrative. What’s coming for IOTA The Rebased upgrade transitions IOTA to a delegated proof-of-stake model where validators are elected by token holders. With the Coordinator gone for good, network security and consensus now rest on a decentralized set of nodes, each accountable to the community. It’s the first time in IOTA’s history that the network will finalize transactions without any centralized fallback. Yet, consensus is just one layer of this overhaul. The real headline may be what’s now possible on top of IOTA’s new layer. Rebased introduces native smart contract capabilities through MoveVM, a virtual machine that runs the Move programming language originally developed by Meta for its failed Diem project. By choosing Move over Ethereum-style EVM compatibility, IOTA seems to betting on long-term sustainability over immediate compatibility.

This puts IOTA on a path to compete more directly with other layer-1 networks like Aptos (APT) or Sui (SUI), which also use Move. Transaction costs would remain near zero, while the protocol would still allow tipping validators to prioritize transactions, ensuring fair processing during sudden demand spikes that outpace gas price adjustments. “The protocol would still allow for tipping validators for prioritization, ensuring transactions can be processed fairly when demand spikes faster than the protocol can adjust gas prices.” IOTA Scalability, long touted but rarely successfully realized, also gets a practical upgrade. The Mysticeti consensus algorithm, introduced with Rebased, targets over 50,000 transactions per second with sub-second finality under normal conditions. Both Solana and IOTA’s Rebased network require similarly robust infrastructure for their validator nodes, including 24-core CPUs, 128 GB of RAM, 4 TB of storage, and 1 Gbps internet connections. What IOTA’s Rebased means for regular users For everyday users, the transition will be pretty noticeable. The Firefly wallet — once the primary interface for IOTA — will be deprecated. Users are expected to migrate to a new browser-based IOTA Wallet, designed to support the Rebased protocol natively. Moreover, the migration isn’t automatic: users must back up their Firefly wallets using stronghold files, mnemonics, or exported keys before the upgrade goes live. Anyone relying on Ledger hardware wallets will also need to manually install a new version of the IOTA Ledger app, especially since Ledger Nano S support is being sunsetted in Ledger Live. There’s also a long-awaited change in how IOTA holders interact with the network: staking. For the first time, token holders can lock up their assets to earn rewards, and more critically, to influence validator selection, introducing new economic alignment between the protocol and its participants, something IOTA has lacked until now. IOTA Rebased tokenomics | Source: IOTA The minimum staking requirement to become a validator would be set at 2 million IOTAs, with an initial cap of 150 validator seats. Validators can meet the minimum staking requirement through delegators’ stake contributions, allowing for flexibility in participation. Exchanges supporting IOTA will pause deposits and withdrawals during the upgrade window but are expected to resume shortly after the mainnet transition. Trading activity, however, should continue uninterrupted. For a project often criticized for over-promising and under-delivering, Rebased is a moment of redefinition. It turns IOTA into a decentralized, programmable, scalable layer-1 protocol with real developer tooling and economic incentives. It’s not a patch or optimization. It’s a clean break. The stakes are high: if successful, Rebased could finally turn IOTA into what it always aspired to be: a general-purpose decentralized network that competes on technical merit, not just white paper vision. And if not, the crypto space is less forgiving today than it was in 2017. Read more:IOTA announces network upgrade for more real-world adoption

First Digital Labs 发布了一份新的证明报告，确认其 FDUSD 稳定币得到了全力支持，尽管 Tron 创始人孙宇晨不断提出欺诈指控。 根据4月14日发布的报告，等值储备包括超过17.4亿美元的美国国债和6.03亿美元的隔夜回购协议，与First Digital USD（FDUSD）25.8亿枚代币的总供应量相当。其他资产包括跨多个司法管辖区的定期存款。 该公司重申，所有FDUSD储备均存放在破产隔离账户中，绝不会与公司资金混用。该公司补充称，迄今为止，已顺利赎回了价值超过10亿美元的FDUSD。 最新的 $FDUSD 证明报告现已在我们的网站上提供：https://t.co/IpSw33lpGQ在@FirstDigitalHQ，我们始终致力于财务透明度、问责制和客户资产保护。为了强化这一承诺，我们任命了两位信誉卓著的……— First Digital Labs (@FDLabsHQ) 2025 年 4 月 14 日 就在几天前，孙宇晨指控 First Digital Trust 挪用了近 5 亿美元的客户资金。据孙宇晨称，该公司与包括总部位于迪拜的 Aria DMCC 在内的合作伙伴网络一起，欺骗了该稳定币的发行人，将资金汇至一家无关实体。他声称，这笔资金通过欺诈性地址切换被转移，部分资金被存入了一个名为“玻璃门”的香港账户。 您可能还喜欢：“典型的孙宇晨抹黑行动”：First Digital 否认指控，并威胁采取法律行动 孙宇晨点名了几名涉嫌参与的人员，并将该骗局称为“重大国际金融欺诈”，并将其比作典型的加密钱包漏洞。他还主持了一场直播，并与香港监管机构会面，提交了证据。第一数字信托公司否认了所有指控，并向香港高等法院提起了诽谤诉讼。 该公司正试图阻止孙宇晨重复这些指控，并要求其撤回指控并赔偿损失。本月早些时候，这场争议导致 FDUSD 短暂失去挂钩，跌至 0.87 美元。截至撰写本文时，该稳定币的交易价格已回升至 0.99 美元。 FDUSD 由 FD121 Limited 发行，并由 First Digital Trust 监管，作为一款法币支持且受监管的稳定币，FDUSD 已获得广泛关注。目前，FDUSD 已在以太坊 (ETH)、BNB Chain (BNB)、Solana (SOL) 和 Sui (SUI) 平台上线。 随着法律纠纷的展开，First Digital Trust 表示将继续发布定期证明并与独立公司合作，以确保其储备的透明度。 阅读更多：报告：Synthetix 的 sUSD 因治理升级和激励机制丧失而脱钩

备受期待的白宫加密货币峰会失败了，因为散户投资者厌倦了与特朗普相关的事件，似乎预计市场会出现反弹，但这并没有发生。 分析人士表示，白宫加密货币峰会和美国战略比特币储备似乎未能满足散户投资者的高期望，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的相关活动并未引发市场反弹，令散户投资者感到沮丧。 https://twitter.com/Matrixport_EN/status/1899010242257859067/ In a March 10 post on X, analysts at Matrixport said retail investors aren’t showing much interest, with perpetual futures funding rates staying low in single digits. The current sentiment demonstrates “start contrast” compared to the high rates seen in April and December 2024, they added. “Even the momentum surrounding Trump’s inauguration was relatively muted-a clear signal that Bitcoin’s next leg higher will require a more significant catalyst.” Markus Thielen, independent analyst 你可能还喜欢：特朗普支持的世界自由金融投资组合的未实现损失达 1.1 亿美元 Bybit 与 Block Scholes 共同完成的分析报告还指出，虽然在特朗普宣布加密战略储备后某些加密货币的现货价格上涨，但融资利率保持稳定且并未达到极端水平，这清楚地表明市场“需要比特朗普的加密战略储备更强劲的提振”。 正如 crypto.news 之前指出的那样，峰会后比特币 (BTC) 和其他加密货币可能会下跌，因为峰会可能会遵循常见的“谣言买入，新闻卖出”策略。在这种方法中，投机者通常会在重大事件发生前购买资产，然后在事件发生后卖出。 一个很好的例子就是唐纳德·特朗普在 2024 年赢得美国总统大选，当时加密货币价格飙升，但在他 1 月就职后又失去了涨幅。同样，以太坊 (ETH) 的价格在去年 9 月现货交易所交易基金获批之前上涨，但随后下跌。 Read more:Trump spouts false economic claims ahead of crypto summit
