Project Collaborations & Integrations
Adot announced a cooperation with CerboAI to jointly promote the development of decentralized data networks.
CerboAI is a decentralized AGI network designed to support the model training process on network data and distributed inference architecture.
RedStone announced support for the $ETH+ price feed service through the core and classic models of the Ethereum mainnet.
$ETH+ is a basket of LST assets backed by rETH, wstETH, etc., issued by the Reserve protocol.
The Reserve protocol allows anyone to quickly create a token that is backed 1:1 by a collection of other tokens. It distributes revenue to RToken holders and 5% to RSR stakers, leveraging RSR stakers for over-collateralization and governance.
RTokens simplifies Ethereum staking by offering a diverse basket of LST, allowing users to earn rewards without meeting the minimum requirement of staking 32 ETH individually.

Only Areweave published a blog post - "The Trilemma of Arweave and Blockchain".
The article believes that Arweave has launched a PoA (Proof of Access) network focused on security and decentralization, plus the addition of existing facilities in the ecosystem. As a result, scalability is no longer a problem, leading to the belief that Arweave has solved the blockchain trilemma.
ArConnect publishes a blog post - "Using ArConnect to Store NFTs/Collectibles".
Arweave provides a disruptive approach to NFT storage, ensuring the accessibility of digital assets. Unlike traditional blockchains, Arweave’s permaweb guarantees the secure and censorship-resistant storage of NFT data.
