Kalshi's application for a preliminary injunction in the Southern District of New York was rejected by the judge, and the case will now proceed to the motion for dismissal stage.
According to Foresight News , crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett tweeted that Judge Analisa Torres, who presided over the Ripple case, has once again become the focus of a major legal dispute. In the case of prediction market platform Kalshi in the Southern District of New York (SDNY), Judge Torres rejected Kalshi's application for a preliminary injunction, arguing that New York State betting laws apply to Kalshi's sports event contracts and that this law has not been superseded by the Commodity Exchange Act. This ruling means the case will enter the "motion to dismiss" stage. Legal experts have commented that this represents a major setback for Kalshi's lawsuit in the US financial center and could have a ripple effect on other related cases, particularly those in Connecticut and other SDNY jurisdictions.
Vitalik proposed an "ultra-compact chain" solution: validators submit STARK proofs daily, and state storage is compressed to 6 bytes.
On July 6th, PANews reported that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a proposal titled "The Extremely Lean Chain," demonstrating how to aggressively compress the state requirements of the Ethereum consensus chain within the context of a "Lean" upgrade. This proposal shifts responsibility to validators, who manage and periodically prove their state via ZK, eliminating the per-epoch processing burden and potentially supporting a scale of millions of validators. Core mechanisms include: removing validator public keys from the on-chain state, storing only deposit tree indexes; eliminating real-time reward and penalty processing, with validators generating daily STARKs to prove their participation and update their balances; and completely re-randomizing validator identities daily, achieving strong anonymity through ZK-STARK, with withdrawal addresses only exposed at the time of withdrawal and not publicly associated with deposits or on-chain activity.
In the past three days, the US has escorted only 70 merchant ships through the Strait of Hormuz, down from the pre-conflict daily average of 138.
According to data released on Odaily 5 by the US-led Joint Maritime Information Center, a total of 70 merchant ships escorted by the US passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the 72 hours from July 2 to 4, lower than the pre-conflict daily average of 138 ships. The announcement also showed that the daily number of US-coordinated escort vessels passing through the Strait continued to decline: 33 ships on July 2, 29 on July 3, and 18 on July 4. The Strait of Hormuz currently has two navigation channels: the southern channel closer to Oman and the northern channel controlled by Iran. The announcement assesses the overall threat level of the Strait of Hormuz as "high," stating that there remains a risk of mines in the strait waters, and mine clearance and survey operations are underway throughout the area. The announcement also notes that the ongoing interference with global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) throughout the strait will continue to pose a threat to the safety of ship navigation.
Sun Guoliang of Muxi Technology: Orders for some products are already booked until next year or even later; the MXC600 chip series has already been shipped in large quantities.
Mars Finance reported on July 8th that during the "Vibrant China Research Tour" in Shanghai, Sun Guoliang, Chief Product Officer and Senior Vice President of Muxi Technology, revealed that orders for some of the company's products are already booked into next year and beyond. The MXC600 chip series is the company's main product this year and is already shipping in large quantities. Regarding the contradiction in the market between "hardware shortages" and "concerns about computing power surplus," he believes that currently, general-purpose, easy-to-use, stable, and reliable computing power is scarce, even extremely difficult to obtain. The surplus computing power refers to computing power applicable to some non-general-purpose architectures, capable of running only previous-generation models or certain niche models, which constitutes a certain degree of overcapacity.
