The security of smart contracts is crucial, and vulnerability protection directly affects the credibility of the blockchain ecosystem. With the rapid development of DeFi, NFT, and other sectors, various attack methods are continuously emerging, requiring higher security protection technologies. For smart contracts, measures such as secure coding standards, static analysis tools, comprehensive testing, and third-party audits should be implemented to enhance security. Additionally, establishing real-time monitoring and emergency response mechanisms is also necessary to ensure timely handling of potential risks. Industry stakeholders should collaborate to develop security standards and promote technological innovation, which will continuously strengthen the security of smart contracts.

Bitcoin mined its 20 millionth coin on March 10, indicating that 95.2% of its supply has been mined. Since its launch in 2009, Bitcoin has experienced significant price increases and market expansion. In the next 114 years, only 1 million BTC will remain mineable, and mining rewards will rely more on transaction fees. This milestone marks the beginning of a new phase for Bitcoin, with its "digital gold" attributes becoming even more prominent.

Mining one Bitcoin costs $87,000. When sold, the market only pays you $67,000.
For each coin mined, the net loss is $20,000. It’s not just losing on fees or electricity fluctuations; it’s a solid loss—losing $20,000 for every Bitcoin produced. This is the reality as of March 2026. Data from Glassnode and MacroMicro both point to the same conclusion: Bitcoin mining, at current prices, is a money-losing business.
But miners are not just sitting around waiting to die. They’ve made a choice that the entire market didn’t expect—they’re stopping mining and selling electricity to AI.
To be precise, it’s not “stopping mining,” but rather emptying the Bitcoin treasury and pouring all funds into AI data centers, relegating mining to a side business.
Since October 2025, Bitcoin

Historical turning points often do not begin with grand declarations but are hidden within a few lines of code and the fervor of everyday life.
Let's rewind the clock to the recent North Square of Tencent Building in Shenzhen. Amid the early spring chill, a hundreds-meter-long line composed of people of different ages and social classes formed a surreal and tense scene in the tech world of 2026. They held various computing devices, waiting for engineers to assist in deploying an open-source autonomous AI agent project called OpenClaw. Because its software icon is a bright red lobster, the public has become accustomed to calling it the Lobster with a very street-smart nickname.
This is not merely a tech geek celebration. From the solemn quotes by Academy of Engineering academicians during the Two Sessions to whispered conversations about digital employees on the streets and alleys, the Lobster phenomenon has broken through social barriers and evolved into a global wave, especially

Newly appointed President of the Korea Development Institute, Kim Se-Jeol, pointed out that fiscal policy should be approached with caution, especially when economic uncertainty affects vulnerable groups. He is concerned about the potential impact of Middle East conflicts on the Korean economy, believing that the long-term growth rate has entered a low point. Past stimulus policies failed to effectively address the issues and instead led to household debt and a real estate bubble. He proposed the need for innovative ideas, such as a nationwide creativity registration system, to promote economic development.
