According to PANews, Real Vision's Chief Cryptocurrency Analyst Jamie Coutts recently stated on the X platform that stablecoins are set to eliminate trillions of dollars in economic friction. This development is expected to enhance merchants' net profit margins, facilitate new economic value transfers, and increase the velocity of money circulation. Concurrently, decentralized finance (DeFi) is anticipated to significantly reduce credit costs. Internal data from the International Monetary Fund supports this trend. In the United States, blockchain providers are already offering home equity lines of credit with interest rates over 100 basis points lower than traditional credit options. Currently, outstanding loans in this sector amount to $11 billion. Coutts estimates that the potential global economic value unlocked by these innovations could reach $1 trillion annually.

According to Foresight News, Anza, a company focused on Solana's development, announced the introduction of a new block propagation protocol called Rotor as part of the Solana Alpenglow upgrade. This single-layer repeater system replaces the multi-hop Turbine protocol, aiming to accelerate and unify network block delivery. Rotor enhances the network by fragmenting blocks, encoding them into shards, and broadcasting them globally through repeaters. This process ensures that blocks can be reconstructed with just half of the shards, reducing latency and balancing bandwidth usage. The protocol significantly decreases propagation time and variability, allowing nearly all validators to receive blocks simultaneously, which improves throughput and reduces the risk of forks caused by slow delivery or network delays. For developers, Rotor facilitates smoother real-time decentralized application (DApp) operations. For validators, it minimizes missed slots, reduces bandwidth waste, and makes network load more predictable. Previously, Foresight News reported that Anza released a white paper introducing the Alpenglow protocol. This protocol aims to replace Solana's TowerBFT consensus mechanism and historical proof timestamp system with the Votor and Rotor components.
