The German Federal Cartel Office has informed Amazon that its pricing policies for retailers violate rules related to the digital economy and fair competition. According to Jin10, the authority has seized 59 million euros (approximately 70 million dollars) in illegal profits from the company. The office noted that Amazon removes or does not recommend products deemed to be priced "too high," a practice that should only be used in special circumstances such as price gouging. Like other major U.S. tech companies, Amazon is facing increasing scrutiny from global regulatory bodies, including those in Germany and the European Union, due to its business practices and dominance in the e-commerce sector. Data from the Cartel Office indicates that about 60% of online retail sales in Germany are conducted through Amazon. This marks the first time the German antitrust regulator has exercised its power to confiscate profits related to misconduct by a tech company.

Jack Kong, CEO of Nano Labs, posted on X. Ethereum's roadmap is undergoing a significant transformation as Vitalik Buterin suggests that Layer 2 (L2) projects should explore alternative paths. The focus will shift towards expanding the Layer 1 (L1) network rather than relying on L2 solutions for scalability. This marks a fundamental change in Ethereum's ecosystem strategy, where L2 solutions were previously considered central to scaling efforts. The main network will now take on more responsibility for expansion. For existing L2 projects, this shift may necessitate repositioning or finding new value propositions. The allocation of resources and development priorities across the Ethereum ecosystem are expected to change as a result of this strategic adjustment.

A male suspect involved in the 1989 Sai Kung Lobster Bay murder case has been extradited to Hong Kong from Thailand after years of evading capture. According to RTHK, Hong Kong Police Commissioner Raymond Siu spoke to the media at the airport upon his return from Thailand, detailing the complexities of the case. The murder involved four men, one of whom had remained at large for years without any departure records, leading authorities to believe he left Hong Kong illegally. The suspect's changing appearance over the years added to the difficulties in tracking him down. Siu explained that Hong Kong police persisted in their investigation until intelligence indicated the suspect was hiding in Thailand. Hong Kong authorities then contacted Thai police, providing them with relevant information. Thai police successfully apprehended the suspect, who was found without identification and residing illegally in Thailand, leading to his deportation and extradition to Hong Kong. Fingerprint analysis confirmed the suspect's identity, and he admitted to being involved in the Sai Kung murder case upon arrest. Siu noted that this suspect had evaded capture for the longest period in history and expressed gratitude to Thai police for their assistance, emphasizing that the extradition would not have been possible without their cooperation. He also mentioned plans to enhance police collaboration and training between Hong Kong and Thailand. Additionally, Siu thanked Thai authorities for their help in a robbery case that occurred in Tsim Sha Tsui in June last year. A robber attempted to flee to Bangkok, but Thai police intercepted him upon arrival following notification from Hong Kong police, leading to his deportation. Siu highlighted ongoing exchanges with Thai police regarding their policing efforts and Hong Kong's smart policing initiatives, aiming for increased collaboration in the future.

Ukraine, the United States, and Russia are engaging in the second day of discussions. According to RTHK, Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council Secretary, Rustem Umerov, announced on social media that representatives from the three nations are meeting in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, for the second day of talks. He noted that the format remains the same as the previous day, consisting of trilateral consultations, group discussions, and subsequent coordination of positions. Umerov previously described the first day's talks as substantial and productive, focusing on concrete actions and practical solutions. The Ukrainian negotiating team is working under the clear directives of President Volodymyr Zelensky, aiming to achieve a just and lasting peace. The UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the initiation of this round of talks demonstrates the involved parties' continued commitment to resolving issues through diplomatic means. They expressed hope that this round of discussions would build on the foundation of the initial talks, further enhancing mutual understanding and advancing the political process.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has expressed concerns over the proliferation of new EVM chains that merely replicate existing architectures. According to Odaily, Buterin argues that many of these chains connect to Ethereum through optimistic bridges with a week's delay, akin to replicating Compound's governance. While this approach may seem convenient, it ultimately stifles innovation and leads the ecosystem into a dead end. The situation worsens if new chains do not connect to Ethereum's optimistic bridge, acting purely as alternative L1s. The ecosystem, Buterin suggests, requires projects that introduce new features such as privacy protection, application-specific efficiency, or ultra-low latency. Buterin emphasizes that the form of 'Ethereum connection' must align with actual functionality. For instance, prediction market applications can issue and settle markets on L1 and manage user accounts, but trade execution should occur on a Rollup or L2 system, with L1 verifying signatures and market status. Deep integration with L1 architecture should be prioritized over superficial bridging for recognition. Another type of 'application chain' could verify algorithm execution in government, social media, or gaming platforms, using technologies like STARK to ensure updates are authorized and executed according to pre-committed rules. Although not entirely Ethereum-based, these chains can offer algorithm transparency and minimize trust, enabling previously impossible economic activities. New projects should achieve two main objectives: first, genuinely innovate rather than merely replicate existing EVM chains; second, ensure that public relations align with actual functionality. The claimed level of connection to Ethereum should accurately reflect the project's technical and ecological dependencies, ensuring ecosystem interoperability and long-term value.

以太坊创始人 Vitalik Buterin 发文表示， “目前大量新建 EVM 链只是简单复制现有架构，或通过延迟一周的乐观桥连接以太坊，这种做法类似于在治理上重复复制 Compound，虽然 “舒适 ”，但长期耗尽了创新力，导致生态陷入死胡同。如果新链没有与以太坊的乐观桥连接（即纯粹的替代 L1），情况更糟，生态真正需要的是能带来新特性的项目，例如隐私保护、应用专用效率或超低延迟等。“以太坊连接 ”的形式必须与实际功能匹配。比如预测市场类应用可以在 L1 上发行和结算市场、管理用户账户，但交易执行发生在某个 Rollup 或 L2 类系统中，通过 L1 验证签名和市场状态。深度连接 L1 的架构应当是优先考虑，而非形式上的桥接以获取认可。另一类 “应用链 ”可以在政府、社交媒体或游戏平台上验证算法执行，通过 STARK 等技术保证更新经过授权并按预先承诺的规则执行，这类链虽然不完全是以太坊，但能提供算法透明度和最小化信任，促进原本不可能的经济活动。新项目应做到两点：第一，真正带来创新，不只是复制已有 EVM 链；第二，公关形象与实际功能匹配，项目声称与以太坊的连接程度应真实反映其技术和生态依赖，确保生态互操作性和长期价值。 ”
