Can Axie Infinity continue its 15% surge amid increasing network activity?

The number of active addresses on the Axie Infinity (AXS) network has nearly doubled in the past 24 hours. Is the sudden surge in trading activity, along with the concentration of supply in the hands of large investors, enough to sustain AXS's strong growth momentum? The explosion of address activity

Solana's ultra-low transaction fees comparison released: surpassing Base, BNB, and Polygon, becoming the preferred execution layer for high-frequency DeFi.

The latest on-chain fee comparison data shows that in mid-January 2026, among mainstream blockchain networks, Solana's median transaction fee ranks second lowest, only behind Avalanche, and is significantly lower than high-transaction-volume networks like Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, and Arbitrum. This result further highlights Solana's structural advantages in high throughput and low-cost execution layers. From a data structure perspective, Solana's fee curve has long been at the bottom of the logarithmic coordinate chart, indicating that its low fees are not a temporary phenomenon but are determined by its underlying architecture. The network's design, which features parallel execution and high TPS, allows it to absorb traffic spikes during increased transaction demand, unlike rollup-dependent networks that shift the pressure into higher per-transaction costs.

Ethereum L1-zkEVM debut imminent, EIP-8025 may reshape block validation efficiency and costs

Ethereum will undergo its most groundbreaking architectural upgrade since the "Merge." Today marks the official launch of the first L1-zkEVM Workshop, where a brand-new block verification system based on zero-knowledge proofs is being showcased for the first time. This solution is expected to enable faster block confirmation, reduce resource consumption, and significantly lower operational barriers. Ladislaus.eth, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, stated that this could be one of the most impactful upgrades in network history. The core of this roadmap is EIP-8025 "Optional Execution Proof," which allows some validators (zkAttesters) to confirm blocks through cryptographic proofs without re-executing each transaction. For existing nodes, this is an optional upgrade and will not be mandatory, but adopters will gain clear efficiency advantages.

Visa enables on-chain settlement of Ethereum stablecoins, with USDC annual trading volume exceeding $3.5 billion

February 10 News, global payments giant Visa has officially launched an on-chain settlement system based on the Ethereum network, using USDC as the settlement medium. The service was quietly launched in December 2025, but its on-chain annualized transaction volume has already exceeded $3.5 billion, marking an acceleration of the traditional financial system's migration to blockchain infrastructure. By transferring some cross-border and institutional payments on-chain, Visa provides corporate clients with 24/7 fund settlement capabilities, eliminating delays caused by banking hours and multiple intermediaries. The settlement cycle has been compressed from several days to just a few minutes, while also enhancing the traceability and transparency of fund flows. This change demonstrates that Ethereum is no longer just a smart contract platform but is evolving into a global settlement network.
