ChainCatcher news, according to market news, Uniswap DAO is voting on a proposal to recover about 12.5 million UNI (about $42 million) previously lent to representatives and the foundation, and the relevant voting will end on May 8, with about 53% support, 46% abstentions, and very few votes against. Between 2022 and 2023, DAOs lent these governance tokens to increase governance participation. Uniswap Labs stated that the current governance activity has increased significantly, with an average voting participation of approximately 75,000 votes, and the relevant mechanisms have achieved the expected results. The recall also aims to address the incentive mismatch – some delegates still have greater voting power despite their lack of economic exposure. At the same time, the move is seen as a response to questions about the degree of decentralization of governance. In addition, the Uniswap ecosystem has recently promoted reforms including fee mechanisms, token buybacks and burns, and governance structure optimization to further enhance governance transparency and decentralization.

ChainCatcher news, algorithm development company MicroAlgo Inc. announced the launch of a blockchain architecture based on quantum technology to improve transaction security and transparency by integrating recurrent quantum secure channel (QSC) and quantum key distribution (QKD). The architecture adopts a four-layer design, including a quantum communication layer, a blockchain core layer, a smart contract layer, and an application layer. Among them, QKD is used to achieve highly secure key generation and distribution, while quantum encryption protects transaction data from theft and tampering, and has the ability to resist quantum computing attacks. In addition, the system strengthens long-term security through periodic key rotation and quantum signature mechanisms, combined with distributed ledgers and consensus mechanisms, to ensure that data cannot be tampered with and transactions are verifiable, achieving a balance between security and transparency. However, the company also pointed out that there are still challenges in the maturity and commercialization of quantum technology, and it will still take time to implement it on a large scale.
