Jason, product manager of OKX Planet Community, stated at the OKX New Year's Eve dinner that the OKX Planet Community has launched its public beta. This marks OKX's first comprehensive foray into community products, aiming to create a crypto community integrating information access, trading opportunity sharing, active creators, and a deep community. The community product encompasses four content platforms: public domain creation, public domain persona display, live streaming interaction, and private domain communities. It provides continuous exposure and traffic conversion for creators and users through a recommendation page. Regarding incentives, Planet Community advocates for dynamic calculation based on key factors such as community user value, effective interaction between content consumers and creators, and community user engagement time. Jason emphasized that the community has a competitive weekly cash prize pool; the higher the community user stickiness and the more active the trading on OKX, the higher the incentives for creators. In the long term, Planet Community will gradually integrate with the OKX platform in terms of product, information, benefits, and ecosystem. For example, it will promote new community and trading features through X Layer. The goal in the short term is to focus on rapid iteration, expanding community operations and features, and improving user experience, ensuring that every user becomes an important part of the community's growth.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that crypto wallet Rainbow announced on the X platform that it will launch a CCA mechanism auction on Uniswap on February 2nd. Anyone can participate in the auction, and 100% of the proceeds will automatically become on-chain liquidity for RNBW. More details will be announced later.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Zakk Wang, product manager of OKX Wallet, stated at the OKX New Year's Eve dinner event that X Layer is a crucial cornerstone for OKX's continued progress in Web3 and must fulfill its historical responsibility. The construction of X Layer will proceed in three phases: The first phase focuses on solidifying the underlying technology to ensure high performance, stability, and low cost over a prolonged period, with transaction gas being virtually free and TPS and block generation speeds maintained at high levels. The second phase involves infrastructure, DeFi, and asset development. While introducing Uniswap, priority will be given to building a stable and robust Swap and DeFi system, continuously improving on-chain TVL, supporting high-frequency and common use cases such as staking, avoiding ecosystem homogenization, and improving payment infrastructure, including card and X402 capabilities. All related construction will revolve around X Layer. Currently, the overall project has progressed to the third phase, where OKX will begin implementing the previously announced incentive funds, starting with an X Layer hackathon for the community and universities to promote the implementation of more projects that truly contribute to industry development.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Ethereum Foundation has announced the formation of a dedicated Post-Quantum (PQ) team, led by Thomas Coratger and supported by leanVM cryptographer Emile, elevating QS security to a top strategic priority. Researcher Justin Drake stated that Ethereum is shifting from a long-term back-end research phase to active engineering implementation, including launching a bi-weekly QS transaction developer conference and running a multi-client QS consensus test network. The Ethereum Foundation is also increasing funding and community investment, planning to launch two cryptography awards, each worth $1 million, and hosting multiple QS-related community events and educational programs in 2026. The Ethereum Foundation emphasizes that while the quantum threat remains a medium- to long-term risk, blockchains need to plan ahead to ensure wallet security and smooth network upgrades.
