Odaily星球日報訊 以太坊共同創辦人 Vitalik Buterin 發布最新文章，介紹新型密碼學混淆技術 Diamond iO。該技術旨在解決傳統不可區分混淆方案效率極低的問題，使程式能夠在隱藏內部邏輯與關鍵資料的情況下運行。傳統 iO 技術具備隱私保護能力，但運行成本高昂，Diamond iO 透過採用更為激進的新型密碼學假設，將計算效率從「宇宙級耗時」提升至「行星級耗時」，距離實際應用更進一步。Diamond iO 基於屬性加密 ABE 與全同態加密 FHE 等技術構建，透過對程式進行加密，讓使用者可以執行加密後的程式並獲得正確輸出，卻無法查看其內部程式碼或隱藏金鑰。該方案引入了新的輸入編碼機制與條件解密方式，在保證程式邏輯隱藏的同時降低計算複雜度。其核心應用場景包括保護包含私鑰的程式、實現安全的軟體授權、建構無需信任的密碼學服務，以及支援更強隱私保護的區塊鏈與 AI 系統。
Diamond iO 目前仍處於早期研究階段，其安全性依賴於包括 All-Product LWE 與 Evasive LWE 在內的新型密碼學假設，尚需更多研究驗證。同時，該技術仍面臨計算開銷龐大、電路深度限制等效率挑戰。研究人員認為，透過最佳化底層雜湊函數、改進同態加密方案以及降低安全參數要求，未來 Diamond iO 有望成為推動實用化程式混淆技術發展的重要方向。
Odaily星球日報訊 加密投資基金 Translunar Crypto LP 創始人 Justin Ryan Schmidt 因逃稅案被美國法院判處 37 個月監禁。美國司法部表示，現年 46 歲的 Schmidt 於今年在美國德州奧斯汀聯邦法院認罪，他被指控在 2020 年至 2022 年間虛報收入，申報收入不足 5000 美元，但檢方稱其實際透過基金業務在 2019 年至 2022 年期間獲得超過 700 萬美元收入。據悉，Schmidt 於 2017 年創立 Translunar，主要投資區塊鏈初創企業，資金主要來自美國德州奧斯汀和科羅拉多州阿斯彭地區投資者。美國國稅局刑事調查部門於 2026 年 2 月 23 日將其逮捕，此後一直被拘押。（彭博社）

Odaily星球日報訊 Vida 在 X 平台發文表示，今日賣出近 700 萬美元看跌期權，其中大部分將在一個月後行權。其稱當前存儲板塊下跌至少在情緒面已接近極限，存儲股隱含波動率處於歷史最高百分位；AI 相關需求仍在持續，基本面未發生改變。對於賣出「很難成交的價格」而非貼近當前盤面的價格，Vida 表示其偏好風險較低和更穩定的收益，並以一個月後到期的 MU 660 看跌期權為例，稱當前賣出 15 張可立即獲得 4.7 萬美元利潤，若一個月後 MU 跌破 660 並觸發交割，其將以 100 萬美元買入。

Odaily Planet Daily News A Reuters poll showed that following gold's sharp retreat from its record high in January, analysts have lowered their gold price forecasts for the first time since late 2023. However, most still anticipate support from central bank buying and concerns over fiscal sustainability. The survey of 29 analysts and traders over the past three weeks yielded a median 2026 gold price forecast of $4,509 per ounce. This is down from $4,916 three months ago and marks the first downgrade in 11 quarters. The average price forecast for 2027 stands at $4,610, compared to $5,100 in the previous survey. Gold hit an all-time high of $5,595 per ounce in January. However, in the second quarter, the Iran war exacerbated energy inflation and pushed up rate hike expectations, leading to a sharp price decline—the worst quarterly performance since 2013. Since the outbreak of the conflict, spot gold has fallen by approximately 22%. (Jin Shi)
