Status Network announced that it will merge its gas-free and privacy L2 technology into the Linea ecosystem, becoming the native distribution layer for the latter, and will no longer launch an independent mainnet. This merger aims to unify the technical routes and liquidity of both parties, avoid ecological fragmentation, and allow Status to fully concentrate its resources on its core application, Status App.The official statement indicated that the previous pre-deposit treasury has now been closed, and the related assets will be fully migrated to the Linea mainnet. When the Linea mainnet opens for withdrawals, pre-deposit users will not only be able to withdraw their principal and accrued earnings but will also proportionally receive a total of 20 million SNT and 20 million LINEA as liquidity rewards. A detailed migration timeline and testnet developer migration guide will be officially announced next week.

Aster announced an update to its tokenomics and a restructuring of ecosystem emissions, replacing the previous monthly linear unlocking mechanism with a staking-only emission model.Previously, 78.4 million ASTER (approximately 1% of the maximum supply) were unlocked on a linear schedule each month; after the update, ecosystem tokens will only be released as staking rewards, currently at a rate of 450,000 ASTER per cycle (weekly), equivalent to a monthly release of 1.8 million to 2.25 million ASTER.Aster stated that since the TGE on September 17, 2025, all unlocked ecosystem and community tokens, aside from staking rewards, have remained untouched, and the relevant token holdings can be publicly verified through addresses starting with 0x0A55.

The Ethereum L2 project Linea tweeted that its cryptographic researcher Alexandre Belling announced on Ethproofs that Linea will transition to the RISC-V architecture. The main reason is that each Ethereum hard fork requires a complete rewrite of the constraint module, causing the team to struggle with complexity for a long time instead of pushing for cutting-edge performance. RISC-V only provides 32 registers and about 40 instructions. For the proof system, the tracking range is narrower, can be constructed in real-time, and the prover can immediately start processing proof fragments.In addition, RISC-V has a narrower execution trace and Type-1 compatibility, while retaining zkC (constraint native language), Vortex and Arcane (proof/aggregation stack), and formal verification. Linea stated that this move is highly consistent with the RISC-V roadmap being promoted by the Ethereum Foundation, and more technical details will be announced in a few weeks.

According to market news, the Linea team's main wallet transferred LINEA tokens worth $5.3 million to a new wallet. The transfer occurred about 10 minutes ago. According to historical records, similar transfer operations usually result in a gradual transfer of funds to exchanges.

Linea announced on the X platform that its token burn mechanism has officially been activated.From now on, the gas fees for each transaction on the Linea chain will proportionally burn ETH and LINEA tokens, thereby reducing the circulating supply and introducing a deflationary model. The official statement indicates that all gas fees will still be paid in ETH and deposited into a dedicated fee contract. After deducting infrastructure expenses, the remaining amount will be entirely used for burning: 20% will be directly burned in the form of ETH, and 80% will be converted into LINEA and burned on the Ethereum mainnet. Additionally, a real-time burn data tracking feature has been launched on-chain to enhance transparency and verifiability.

"If we can accelerate the global adoption of prediction markets like Polymarket and MYRIAD, we can bring collective intelligence and market forces into governance and decision-making at all levels of society. Before Futarchy can truly take hold, we need deep liquidity and widespread application of prediction markets. Once this goal is achieved, we can begin to replace the subjective and centralized control of platforms that have rent-seeking and de-platforming power, with more objective market-based decision-making involving a broader range of stakeholders."
