Odaily reported that F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun explained on X platform the reasons for his decision to take the Starship for its first crewed Mars flyby. He stated that with the debut of Starship V3, humanity is one step closer to becoming a "multi-planetary species." During Fram2 training, aside from Dragon spacecraft-related content, one of the most discussed topics among the team was "how to reliably perform a landing and return on Phobos."

Although three months ago Musk announced that SpaceX would shift its focus more toward the Moon and believes that with the development of AI data centers, space commercialization might eventually find a viable path, Wang stressed that the goal should be Mars, not the Moon. He is not currently confident that humanity will truly land on Mars within this generation's lifetime, so he hopes to personally drive this process forward.

Wang Chun added that by purchasing a Mars flyby mission, he aims to give SpaceX a reason to "not forget Mars," and emphasized that "the Mars plan should not be postponed for the next generation." Although this mission will not attempt to land on Phobos, all great explorations begin with the first step. "I hope this mission can prove to the public that Mars is not just a point of light in a telescope, but a real world that humans can reach, visit, and return from safely."

Odaily Planet Daily News: SkyBridge Capital, founded by Anthony Scaramucci, saw its flagship fund, the SkyBridge Opportunity Fund, record its second consecutive quarterly loss, primarily dragged down by significant volatility in cryptocurrency-related assets. According to disclosed data, the fund, which manages approximately $1.3 billion in assets, fell 12.9% in the first quarter of 2026. Currently, about 64% of the fund's holdings are tied to cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Although it saw a modest rebound of 0.45% in March, it was not enough to offset the losses incurred earlier in the quarter. (Bloomberg)

Odaily Odaily News: A recent report released by Gate Research Institute, titled "Research and Backtesting Analysis of BTC Trading Framework Based on Multi-Agent LLM," points out that compared to a single LLM directly generating trading signals, the Multi-Agent LLM architecture more closely mirrors the research and investment process of real financial institutions. By leveraging collaboration and debate among analysts, researchers, traders, and risk control teams, it enhances the transparency and risk control capabilities of trading decisions. The research, based on the TradingAgents framework, constructs an AI trading system applicable to the crypto scenario for the BTC market, introducing multiple agent roles such as technical analysis, news analysis, sentiment analysis, and macro/on-chain analysis.

Using BTC/USDT 1-hour data, the study conducted historical backtesting of the TradingAgents-BTC strategy. The results show that the strategy achieved a total return of +20.25% during the testing period, significantly outperforming the Buy & Hold strategy's -7.89% over the same period. Furthermore, its maximum drawdown was controlled at -17.41%, lower than the Buy & Hold's -27.06%. The research suggests that during periods of consolidation and decline, the multi-agent framework can reduce some risk exposure through Sell/Underweight and Flat states, and re-enter long positions during market rebounds, thereby improving overall risk-adjusted returns.

The report indicates that the Multi-Agent LLM framework shows certain application potential in crypto trading scenarios. However, the current backtesting period covers only about three months, and 1-hour level trading may still be affected by transaction fees, slippage, and signal latency. Future work requires further validation of the strategy's stability and generalization capabilities over longer historical periods, different market conditions, and across a wider range of asset classes.

Odaily reports that a Uniswap governance proposal aims to extend the infrastructure for collecting and burning protocol fees to BNB Chain and Polygon, while also completing the fee activation process on Celo that was not executed due to a configuration error.

The proposal includes setting the V2 protocol fee recipient address on BNB Chain, Polygon, and Celo to TokenJar, and designating the V3 Factory owner on the relevant chains as V3OpenFeeAdapter. Additionally, on Celo, the feeToSetter role and ownership of V4 PoolManager will be transferred to CrossChainAccount. According to the proposal, fees from each chain will be aggregated into the corresponding TokenJar, after which UNI will be bridged back to the Ethereum mainnet and sent to a burn address.

Odaily Odaily reported that police in São Paulo, Brazil, conducted operations in Jundiaí and Louveira, seizing approximately 1,400 Bitcoin mining devices operating in persistent violation of regulations.

Odaily reported that recently, Liu Feng, former founder of ChainNews, and Dan Romero, former Farcaster founder and Tempo team member, engaged in a series of discussions on topics such as payments, cryptocurrency, and AI Agents. During the conversation, Dan Romero addressed some key questions raised by both Liu Feng and the public. The highlights are as follows:

1. The reason for the shift from idealistic socialfi products to public chains dominated by large enterprises: "The crypto landscape has changed. Now we have stablecoins and crypto (more native) as two distinct things." Tempo and Playbook's goal is: "Starting with payment services, collaborating with large, established companies to help them conduct on-chain payments and advance their own business development. Then, by integrating DeFi applications, we will launch yield-generating products that end users actually need."

2. "Tempo has no meme coins or anything similar, which is a good thing for a conservative bank. Tempo has other characteristics: compliance and privacy. This might not be as exciting for crypto natives, but it is very attractive to banks."

3. Regarding core use cases for payments: "Platform-based marketplaces and cross-border payments are two clear stablecoin use cases."

4. Micropayment-driven agent-to-agent payments are worth anticipating; stablecoin-based micropayments will usher in a new spring. Regarding payments between agents: "Traditional payment methods are too costly to use at scale. This level of granularity and speed can only be achieved through cryptocurrencies and streaming payments."

5. "I deeply respect Ethereum's adherence to cypherpunk principles regarding decentralization. I really like their new mission; it's good for the world. But the reality is that businesses don't care about these things; they care about whether it can solve real problems." "If Tempo can attract 1 million businesses and 1 billion consumers, it won't be a bad thing for either cryptocurrency or Ethereum."

6. Regarding Tempo's decentralization process: Hoping to achieve it within two years. "We are not a bunch of suit-wearing outsiders; we truly understand the space. We know how important decentralization is, but at the same time, we are very pragmatic. I guarantee that we will actually drive application adoption."

7. Regarding the Machine Payment Protocol (MPP) and the X402 protocol, AI Agents don't care about the differences between them. The key to satisfying them is the elimination of human intervention.

8. Tempo's Asian market lead is now in place and will be operating out of Singapore.

Odaily reported that Stripe officially announced on the X platform the launch of its new Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) feature. Users can now complete AI Agent payment-related setup and integration simply by sending a prompt to the AI Agent. Companies such as @zincdotcom, @agentscoretrust, and @ondbai have already begun accepting machine payments from AI agents via the MPP and x402 protocols.

It is reported that this feature significantly lowers the barrier for autonomous payment integration of AI Agents, transforming the process from requiring manual code writing in the past to "getting it done with just one prompt."
