Among these, Payward ranked first for the month with a $200 million financing round.

The report suggests that against the backdrop of a recovering market, on-chain activity and capital liquidity are both increasing simultaneously. However, the security risks associated with cross-chain infrastructure and high-leverage protocols remain worthy of continued attention.

This proposal seeks to introduce an open-source, permissionless, and standardized data indexing service to the Fractal ecosystem. It further integrates the indexing service into the Fractal block reward system, transforming indexing infrastructure from a purely external service into an integral component of the network's incentive structure.Fractal Bitcoin stated that the goal of FIP-101 is not merely to launch an indexing tool but to establish a long-term sustainable, verifiable, and incentivized data infrastructure for the Fractal ecosystem. With the activation of index mining and non-custodial staking mechanisms, Fractal hopes to further reduce development costs for builders while providing clearer incentive pathways for infrastructure participants.
