Odaily Planet Daily reports that Polymarket, an on-chain prediction market platform, has announced a major upgrade to its trading system over the next 2-3 weeks. This upgrade includes a redesigned trading engine, a new order book structure, and the introduction of the native stablecoin, Polymarket USD. The core of this upgrade is the launch of Polymarket CTF Exchange V2, which will optimize matching efficiency, reduce the operations required for order verification and matching, and lower gas costs. Simultaneously, the new order data structure will streamline the number of fields, improving overall execution efficiency. V2 will also introduce an upgraded Central Limit Order Book (CLOB), combining off-chain order books with on-chain execution mechanisms. At the asset level, Polymarket will launch Polymarket USD, backed 1:1 by USDC, gradually replacing the currently used cross-chain asset USDC.e. This adjustment aims to reduce users' security concerns regarding unofficial bridging assets. Furthermore, the platform will support the EIP-1271 standard, allowing smart contract wallets (such as multisignature wallets) to directly participate in transactions. During the upgrade, the existing order book will be cleared, and a short maintenance window will be implemented. Polymarket stated that this is its largest upgrade since launch, coming at a time of increasing user growth and intensified competition from platforms such as Kalshi, Coinbase, and Crypto.com.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that US President Trump, speaking to the media at the White House, stated that Tuesday (April 7th) was the final deadline, "unchangeable." Trump reiterated that "Iran cannot have nuclear weapons," stating that during his first term, he tore up the Iran nuclear deal and assassinated Qassem Soleimani, then commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, "thus preventing Israel from being wiped off the map." Trump insisted that he had achieved "regime change" in Iran, saying that the current Iranian leadership negotiating with the US is "more reasonable." However, he also said, "They (Iran) just won't admit defeat, but they will eventually give in—if they don't, they will have nothing." Trump also stated that if he had a choice, he would "take (Iran's) oil" because "oil is readily available, and they (Iran) can't do anything about it." Trump stated, "Unfortunately, the American people want us home—if it were up to me, I would take the oil, I would keep the oil for myself, I would make a lot of money." When asked by a reporter why the fighting continues despite repeated claims by the U.S. that Iranian military capabilities have been destroyed, Trump replied, "They (Iran) still have some missiles, some drones. They were lucky to shoot down one (U.S.) plane." (CCTV International News)

According to market sources, Chaos Labs, a major contributor to Aave DAO, has withdrawn from the protocol's work, becoming the latest significant service provider to leave the platform, following BGD Labs and the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI). Previously, BGD Labs and ACI had already announced their departures. ACI stated it would gradually end its work in the DAO due to disputes over governance power distribution and transparency; BGD Labs chose to leave due to disagreements over the protocol's development direction. This series of departures from core teams is seen as a manifestation of escalating internal governance conflicts within Aave DAO, raising widespread concerns about its decentralized governance structure and long-term stability.
