Odaily Planet Daily News Solana founder Toly said this morning when talking about the role of the Solana Foundation in ecological development: "Someone must launch a product first, and then the foundation can promote it."

Even if funding or investment is provided, there must be a product and someone willing to use it so that the ecology can accelerate development. ”

Google Antigravity 2.0 removes the IDE and transforms it into a standalone workbench
According to CoinWorld.com, Google officially released Antigravity 2.0, removing the traditional IDE interface, and separating the agent manager originally bound to the editor as a desktop application, with full support for macOS, Windows and Linux. The new version replaces the original workspace with a project concept, allowing a project to span multiple local folders and configure read and write permissions for each folder individually. When handling complex tasks, the master agent can now dynamically call multiple sub-agents for parallel processing, avoiding the fact that a single master context is stuffed with invalid logs. At the same time, long-term tasks such as compilation and testing are all pushed into the background to be executed asynchronously. The timed wake-up mechanism was introduced to the desktop for the first time, and users can now use the /schedule command to set a one-time timer or cron period, allowing the agent to automatically wake up to execute scripts or patrol code at a fixed point. The new slash command directly delineates the fault tolerance boundary of Google's agent autonomy at this stage. With the independence of desktop applications, Google simultaneously launched the supporting CLI, SDK and API, and announced that the original Gemini CLI personal toolchain will be fully migrated to Antigravity CLI in the future.

Grafana: The investigation found that recent security incidents have not affected customers' production systems or operations
According to ChainCatcher, open-source data visualization tool Grafana released the latest progress on its investigation into the security incident on May 16. The investigation found that the incident was limited to Grafana Labs' GitHub environment, including public and private source code as well as internal GitHub repositories, and did not affect customer production systems, operations, or the Grafana Cloud platform. In addition to the source code, the downloaded content also includes some warehouses used by teams for collaboration and storing internal operational information and business details, involving business contact names and email addresses, rather than data from production systems or cloud platforms. Grafana Labs has made it clear that the codebase has been downloaded but not tampered with, and currently customers and open-source users do not need to take any action. The incident originated from the TanStack npm supply chain attack carried out through the Mini Shai-Hulud campaign. Grafana Labs detected malicious activity on May 11 and initiated an emergency response, but the missing credential allowed the attacker to gain access. After receiving a ransom demand on May 16, the company decided not to pay it, and has rotated automated credentials, implemented enhanced monitoring, audited all commits since May 11, and significantly strengthened GitHub security configurations. The company has notified federal law enforcement that the investigation is still ongoing.

Galaxy Securities: The synergy between green power and computing power is expected to achieve mutual benefit and win-win outcomes
According to Bijie.com, a Galaxy Securities research report states that the rapid growth in computing power demand is driving up electricity consumption. China's data center electricity consumption increased from 130 billion kWh in 2022 to 196 billion kWh in 2025, raising its share of total social electricity consumption from 1.5% to 1.9%. Looking ahead, it is estimated that by 2030, data center electricity consumption will exceed 700 billion kWh, accounting for more than 5% of total social electricity consumption. The synergy between green power and computing power is expected to achieve mutual benefit and win-win outcomes. Computational-electricity collaboration is included in the "15th Five-Year Plan," and policy encourages the use of green electricity. In data centers, using green electricity not only meets policy requirements but also aims to reduce electricity costs. This is partly due to green electricity's lower cost and price advantage compared to thermal power, and partly due to the introduction of direct green power connection policies. For power generation companies, new energy may be the most beneficial category under the trend of computational-power synergy. Power companies are planning to coordinate computing and electricity, and industry trends are gradually taking shape. Currently, several power companies have begun laying out computing-power collaboration strategies, which can be divided into two categories: one is directly entering the data center track to create a second growth curve; the other is building supporting power projects for data centers, which is an expansion of the profit model of existing power generation business.

Bank of England Deputy Governor: Tokenization can reduce costs, accelerate settlements, and promote competition
According to ChainCatcher and Cointelegraph, Bank of England Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden stated that tokenization can reduce settlement costs, speed up processes, and promote competition, provided trust and interoperability are ensured. Breeden emphasized that even amid private sector innovations such as tokenized deposits and regulated stablecoins, central bank money will remain the cornerstone of the monetary system. She stated that the Bank of England is working with industry, government, and regulators to build a framework that supports innovation without undermining financial stability. Breeden said that in addition to traditional bank deposits, people should also be able to use tokenized deposits, regulated stablecoins, and retail central bank digital currencies for payments. More competition in technology and business models will reduce user costs and improve functionality. On Monday, the Bank of England also proposed extending the operating hours of its core settlement infrastructure to nearly 7x24 hours to support cross-border payments and securities settlement.

K33: This round of Bitcoin bear market is different, with unusually pessimistic traders limiting the downside
According to ChainCatcher and CoinDesk, K33 Research stated in a report that this round of Bitcoin bear market is different, with unusually pessimistic traders limiting downside potential. Bitcoin traders remain on the defensive, reducing the risk of leverage-driven crashes. Research Director Vetle Lunde pointed out that the current slow bottoming has not reproduced the rapid reversal seen after bear market rebounds in previous cycles; instead, derivatives data points to extreme pessimism. Bitcoin's 30-day average funding rate has been negative for 81 consecutive days, approaching its longest historical record. The annualized basis of CME Bitcoin futures has dropped below 2.5%, indicating an extremely cautious level. However, Bitcoin derivatives open interest remains elevated, and further price weakness could trigger volatility. K33 maintains its fundamental judgment, believing that Bitcoin's drop to $60,000 in February could be the largest pullback of this round.
