Xu Zhengyu: Hong Kong is now actively building an international science and technology innovation center, and investors are very interested in blockchain and other aspects

Mr. Edward Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said in a recent interview that with the emergence of three major trends in diversified asset allocation, digital economy, and green transformation in the international capital market, Hong Kong, as an international financial center, must continue to reform and innovate in order to seize new opportunities. Europe is particularly interested in Hong Kong's policies, especially in recent policies on innovative technology, including regulating legal tender, regulating some off-exchange virtual asset transactions, and developing directions for virtual assets.

Hong Kong is now actively building an international science and technology innovation center, especially in biotechnology, including blockchain, which is of great interest to investors. The situation of family offices settling in Hong Kong is relatively ideal, and there are now about 140 families willing or have already set up family offices in Hong Kong. The task given by the Chief Executive of Hong Kong is to have 200 new family offices established before 2025.

  • Vitalik: If we try to ban transactions with gas fees higher than 50, a large number of junk chains will appear

    Max Resnick, the research director of SMG, posted on social media that MEV is fundamentally about control. The proposer can control which transactions are included in the block and in what order they are included. In other words, MEV is about censorship and reordering. The good news is that this problem can be solved. The first step is to address censorship resistance by setting up multiple parallel proposers. The second step is to solve the reordering problem. Once there is a multi-proposer architecture, proposers can reach consensus on a set of unordered transactions, and the execution layer is responsible for sorting them using deterministic rules.
