Odaily News: On October 1, the Ethereum Foundation and Open Anonymity Project launched zkAPI on the Ethereum mainnet. The system allows users to pre-deposit ETH, USDC, and other balances, separating billing identity from requests when paying for AI and other usage-based services.After depositing funds, users can authorize payments via zero-knowledge proofs and one-time API keys. Once the server verifies the payment proof, it generates a short-term key with a preset spending cap. AI service providers can receive prompts but will not learn the corresponding payment identity.zkAPI does not hide prompt content, and AI service providers can still read prompts and responses; stable IP addresses, timing patterns, and repetitive behavior may also link user identities. The project's code repository labels zkAPI as an experimental project. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily reports: Greenfield Capital, an early investor in Safe, has published an open letter stating that it has filed a regulatory complaint with the Swiss Federal Foundation Supervisory Authority (ESA) regarding the Safe Ecosystem Foundation. Greenfield Capital stated that it has never sold any SAFE tokens since investing in Safe in 2022, but the total assets held in Safe accounts have declined from approximately $6.6 billion at the beginning of 2024 to about $3 billion. Over the same period, total DeFi TVL grew by roughly 40% and stablecoin supply increased by 135%, while stablecoins within Safe grew by only 11%. The firm believes that Safe's share of the self-custody market is declining.Greenfield Capital stated that about a year ago, it was unable to form a reliable judgment based solely on information provided by the Safe team, so it conducted an independent review together with former employees, major users, ecosystem developers, and other investors, and concluded that the issues identified all ultimately related to governance. The firm had previously requested refreshing the foundation's board of directors with experienced and independent members, restructuring management and bringing in operators with experience scaling infrastructure businesses, and having the board lead a review of strategy, product, organizational structure, and tokenomics while setting quantifiable key performance indicators. Greenfield Capital said that since late 2025, it has made these requests to the foundation both directly and through legal counsel, but the foundation only established a strategy committee without decision-making authority and appointed people from existing circles to fill board vacancies, which ultimately led to the filing of the regulatory complaint with ESA. The firm emphasized that this action is not a lawsuit against individuals and that it does not intend to take over Safe; its concerns are limited solely to foundation governance and board composition. It remains positive about the work of the Safe Labs operating team and will continue to cooperate as an ecosystem participant and Safenet validator.

PPP prediction market tool monitoring shows that in the Polymarket "GPT Astra 6.1+ release date" prediction market, the probability that GPT Astra 6.1+ will be released before October 31 has risen to 46%, up 21% in 24 hours.According to the resolution rules, if OpenAI makes available to the public a GPT model with a version number of 6.1 or higher and with "Astra" included in its name or model identifier before the specified date, the corresponding market will resolve to "Yes." The model must actually be made available for public use; closed beta testing or placeholder names appearing only on the official website will not count, and resolution will primarily be based on official information from OpenAI.Join the PPP signal push community to stay one step ahead and seize the initiative.

Odaily News: When a token project fails to deliver tokens as agreed, investors need to review the signed agreements, attachments, amendments, and cover letters to confirm the legal entity bearing the obligation, the number of tokens or calculation method, delivery trigger events, vesting arrangements, and transfer restrictions.The projected launch date published by the project does not equate to a binding delivery deadline. When tokens have already been distributed to other participants, it is necessary to assess whether the delivery obligation has been triggered based on the agreement's definition of the token generation event, whether the investor has completed the prerequisites, and the project team's actual conduct.When a project requests an extension of the lock-up period, a reduction in allocation, a token swap, or a change in the responsible entity, investors should verify whether the contract authorization and amendment documents contain waiver of rights clauses. Investors may retain payment records, transaction hashes, wallet addresses, communication records, and project announcements, and review the notification, remediation, negotiation, arbitration, or litigation procedures.

According to research, Goldman Sachs' September 28, 2026 research report indicates that Goldman Sachs hosted an investor meeting with Palantir CFO Dave Glazer, maintaining a Neutral rating with a 12-month price target of $204, reflecting 7.6% upside. Approximately 97% of clients utilize AIP Evolve, with contracts typically spanning around three years, and clients often expand engagements roughly 18 months post-deployment. One major potential competitor withdrew from direct competition after evaluating this growth strategy. Goldman Sachs believes that Palantir's frontline deployment engineer (FDE) moat offers greater stickiness than standard FDE deployment. Competitive pressure mainly stems from internal enterprise IT, while model vendors and data platforms provide complementary positioning. The three vertical focus areas are: Financial Services, which will add a former AIG CEO; Semiconductors, partnering with NVIDIA; and Next-Gen Cloud, collaborating with Nebius. The $204 price target is based on a 60x multiple applied to free cash flow estimates for Q5 through Q8.

BlackRock stated in its report "The Machine-Native Economy" that AI and digital assets are accelerating their convergence: AI can enable machine-native intelligence, while digital assets can provide machine-native currency. As AI agents autonomously purchase services and initiate financial transactions, blockchain can provide machine-readable assets and programmable settlement infrastructure; stablecoins may be the first to become the primary transaction tool for agent-based commercial activity.BlackRock noted that as of September 2026, stablecoin circulating market capitalization exceeded $300 billion, with adjusted transaction volume surpassing $11 trillion in 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate of 80% from 2020 to 2025. In addition, compute usage rights could in the future be standardized and tokenized for transfer, collateralization, and programmable settlement, while compute futures may also support price discovery and risk hedging.
