Analysis of New Technologies and Trends in the Web3 Industry

This article will provide a focused analysis and interpretation of important new technologies, protocols, and products that have recently emerged in the Web3 industry, helping readers quickly grasp the core changes and assess potential trends from three perspectives: industry background, technical principles, and potential impacts.

New Block Building Platform on Solana

This is a platform that implements "block construction" on Solana, similar to the separation of block builders and validators in Ethereum's PBS(, aiming to standardize transaction ordering, resist MEV, and prevent centralization risks.

The platform is led by Jito, the largest trading auction platform in the Solana ecosystem, and is supported by several mainstream projects including Triton One, SOL Strategies, and Figment. This is a joint initiative by the Solana official team and ecosystem projects, with the following background:

1. Responding to the rising pressure of "native order book chains" like Hyperliquid
2. Break through the limitations of Solana's linear block generation and optimize various DeFi scenarios
3. Aligning with the industry's pursuit of "verifiable fairness"

The core of the system is to use the TEE) trusted execution environment( to sort transactions in the entire block, combined with customizable sorting rule plugins, to deliver the sorted block to validators in one go. This can bring some practical application advantages, such as:

• Allow oracles to fix price updates at the top of the block
• DEX can filter out trades with a high failure probability.

The system can coexist with the existing Solana block generation process. Although the lineup is strong and the narrative is appealing, it still faces challenges in becoming mainstream:

• TEE has high costs and limited performance, making it difficult to meet Solana's high throughput requirements.
• Without continuous economic incentives, it is difficult to maintain positive returns.
• The risk of system downtime is high, which may lead to large-scale transaction losses.

Overall, this is more suitable as a "deterministic assurance tool for critical blocks" rather than a round-the-clock high throughput system. However, its advantages in oracle sequencing, failure-free payment, and other aspects may still attract market makers and institutional users.

New Solutions for Programmable Capabilities Driven by BTC

This is a "BTC-driven, EVM-executed" dual-chain shadow system scheduled to be activated on September 2, 2025. Users can write "instructions" on BTC through inscription or commit-reveal, and then run a modified version of the EVM in the indexer to execute the corresponding deployment and invocation operations. The system does not charge gas fees at the EVM layer, but instead incorporates transaction fees into BTC transactions.

This proposal was initiated by a certain platform that emerged during the BTC inscription era, continuing the idea of BRC-20: to increase programmability as much as possible without changing the BTC consensus. It reflects the exploration of enhancing programmability/L2 in the BTC ecosystem in recent years, but there is still a significant gap between development progress and market expectations.

The core mechanism of the system includes:

• Run EVM logic in the indexer, rather than on the BTC chain or on a standalone chain.
• By hashing the BTC address, it is mapped to a "virtual EVM address"
• Users operate the system by encoding instructions on BTC, similar to the asset control logic of BRC-20.

Although the plan continues the momentum of the previous protocol in naming, it has no direct connection to the original BRC-20. It is worth noting that there are currently no observed restrictions on call depth/steps for protection, which may pose security risks.

Overall, these explorations reflect the desire of various parties to share the consensus value of BTC. However, an excessive pursuit of programmability may not align with the essential advantages of BTC. The scarcity and simplicity of BTC are precisely the key to its value.

New Proposal for Ethereum's Multi-Dimensional Fee Market

This is a proposal led by the founder of Ethereum, aimed at addressing the "transaction fee split" issue that arose after the implementation of EIP-4844. The proposal introduces a new transaction type that uses a "total price cap + multi-resource price vector" approach to bundle the quotes of all resources, achieving a unified semantic bidding.

The background of the proposal includes:

1. The current fee system is fragmented, with different resources ) such as blob, calldata, and execution ( each having their own pricing.
2. L2 developers face the dilemma of multi-dimensional fee settings.
3. User experience is negatively impacted by multiple pricing systems.

The core design of the new transaction type is to introduce a single max_fee parameter, replacing the multiple max_fee_per_gas on different fields. During the execution process of the EVM, this fee will be dynamically allocated across different resources.

This direction aligns with Ethereum's L2 development strategy and helps simplify future L2/L3 fee processing. However, it also brings higher complexity, involving changes in various aspects such as block headers, RLP encoding, and limitations, requiring adaptation across the entire chain, particularly by wallets ).

Therefore, this proposal is difficult to implement in the short term and may require waiting for 1-2 large hard forks before there is a chance for implementation. However, the relevant economic considerations are worth in-depth study.
