Odaily reports that Bonk Guy posted on X platform stating that the Robinhood Chain ecosystem still has potential for further development after experiencing a rare on-chain 70% to 90% correction, and that Robinhood is currently soliciting feedback from ecosystem participants and signaling active support for ecosystem development and the launch of more projects. Additionally, market rumors suggest that Robinhood may establish an ecosystem fund exceeding $100 million, but this has not yet been confirmed.

Bonk Guy believes that even if the fund size falls short of $100 million, when combined with Robinhood's continued support, project launches, and community engagement, it could still significantly drive ecosystem growth. Many investors missed the previous two rallies of the Robinhood Chain ecosystem, and may no longer stand on the sidelines in the next market cycle. Unless the market never sees another bull run, it is difficult to understand certain bearish logic within the community.

Odaily News: Sentient Foundation has announced the launch of the open evaluation benchmark Fingerprinting Leaderboard and the open-source toolkit mlprints, designed to evaluate AI model fingerprinting techniques and their robustness against adversarial attacks.

Previously, research published by Sentient Labs at SaTML 2026 showed that ten existing model fingerprinting techniques, including its Perinucleus method, could all potentially be bypassed when facing complex adaptive attacks. The benchmark aims to verify the embedding effectiveness and removal resistance of model fingerprints through open testing, helping developers retain proof of ownership while opening up model weights.

In the future, the benchmark aims to deeply bind model fingerprints to the model's own capabilities, such that any attempt to remove the fingerprint would simultaneously degrade the model's own capabilities.

Odaily News: AI cloud computing service provider CoreWeave's unsecured bonds maturing in 2032 fell below 80% of face value on Wednesday, with yields exceeding 15%, reaching levels typically seen as distressed debt. After Chamath Palihapitiya mentioned this yield on social media, Musk responded with "Yikes." CoreWeave's stock price fell as much as 17% on Wednesday, and its credit default swap (CDS) prices also rose to historic highs, reflecting that the market is pricing in a more than 50% probability of default over the next five years.

Analyst Gil Luria warned that CoreWeave relies on high-cost debt to expand its data centers, and if the AI financing boom cools, the company could face debt repayment pressure, with its stock price potentially even going to zero in extreme cases. If the company borrows at a 9% interest rate while its return on investment is only 5%, it could continue to destroy value even as its business scale continues to expand.
