Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has highlighted an experiment where artificial intelligence was used to prototype the blockchain's roadmap up to 2030 in just a few weeks. According to Cointelegraph, Buterin expressed his admiration for the experiment, noting its potential lessons for developers. He shared on X that AI is significantly speeding up coding processes, suggesting that the Ethereum roadmap might be completed sooner and with higher security standards than anticipated. Vibe coding, a method where AI generates application code, has gained traction as AI models have improved in coding capabilities. However, there are concerns about the security of AI-generated code. Buterin acknowledged the "massive caveats" of using AI, pointing out that the rapid coding process could lead to critical bugs and incomplete versions of certain features. Despite these challenges, he emphasized the importance of the trend towards faster and more secure development. Buterin advised that the focus should not solely be on speed but also on enhancing security. He proposed that developers should balance the gains from AI by improving test cases, formally verifying code, and creating multiple implementations. He expressed optimism about the potential for bug-free code, which has long been considered an idealistic goal, to become a reality and eventually a standard expectation. Buterin has been actively discussing the Ethereum Foundation's recently released roadmap, known as "Strawmap," which outlines planned upgrades for the next four years. He has also proposed making Ethereum quantum-resistant and mentioned that account abstraction, or smart accounts, could be realized within a year.

According to the announcement from Binance, the platform is set to expand its trading options by introducing the KATUSDT perpetual contract on Binance Futures. The pre-market trading for this contract will commence on 2026-03-02 at 05:00 (UTC), offering traders up to 5x leverage. The underlying asset for this contract is Katana Network (KAT), a blockchain designed specifically for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. The total and maximum supply of KAT is 10,000,000,000 tokens, with the settlement asset being USDT. The tick size for trading is set at 0.00001, and the minimum trade amount is 1 KAT, with a minimum notional value of 5 USDT. The mark price during the pre-market trading period will be calculated as the average of the last 10 seconds of trade prices, updated every second. A ±1% price cap will be imposed on the mark price, limiting price changes within this range during each second interval. This cap applies during both the pre-market trading and the transition period to standard perpetual futures contracts. The transition period will see the mark price gradually converge to the standard calculation, which uses the median of Price 1, Price 2, and Contract Price. The duration of this transition is subject to price volatility and the availability of a stable index price. Trading functions remain unaffected during this period, and open orders and positions will not be canceled. Regarding funding rates, the pre-market trading period will feature a capped funding rate of +0.005% per interval, with settlements occurring every four hours. After the pre-market trading ends, the funding rate will adhere to standard rules, with a maximum and minimum rate of +2.00% and -2.00%, respectively. Binance reserves the right to adjust the interest rate based on market conditions. The leverage and margin tiers for the contract range from 5x leverage for positions up to 5,000 USDT, with a maintenance margin rate of 10.00%, to 1x leverage for positions between 80,000 and 200,000 USDT, with a maintenance margin rate of 50.00%. Multi-Assets Mode is supported, allowing users to trade across multiple margin assets, subject to applicable haircuts. The KATUSDT perpetual contract will be available for Futures Copy Trading within 24 hours of launch. Binance may adjust contract specifications based on market risk conditions, including funding fees, tick size, maximum leverage, and margin requirements.
