OpenAI and the US Department of Defense Sign Cooperation Agreement

OpenAI founder Sam Altman posted on X that tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in its secure network. Throughout the communication process, the Department of War demonstrated a strong commitment to security and a desire to achieve optimal results through cooperation. AI security and universal benefit are at the core of our mission. Our two most important security principles are: prohibiting mass surveillance within the country and ensuring that the use of force is carried out with human responsibility—this includes autonomous weapons systems. The Department of War endorses these principles and has incorporated them into its laws and policies, which we have also included in this agreement. We will also build technical safeguards to ensure the models function as intended, which is also a requirement of the Department of War. We will deploy FDE (Functional Safety/Deployment Assurance Element) to support model operation and ensure security, and will only deploy it in cloud networks. We are requesting the War Department to open the same terms to all AI companies, which we believe is a condition that all institutions should be willing to accept. We have clearly expressed our strong desire for the situation to de-escalate, shifting from legal and administrative action to rational and reasonable negotiation. We will, as always, do our utmost to serve all humanity. The world is complex, chaotic, and sometimes even dangerous.

3. Uniswap Fee Switch to be Expanded to Eight Chains, Burning UNI to Receive Protocol Rewards

Uniswap token holders began voting this Thursday on a major proposal to activate the protocol fee switch on two protocol versions across eight Layer 2 blockchains, including Base, Arbitrum, and OPMainnet. Once activated, at least one-sixth of the fees collected by liquidity providers on the relevant chains will be transferred to token pools for investors who burn an equivalent amount of UNI tokens, expected to more than double existing returns. The fee switch has been available on the Ethereum mainnet v2 and some v3 liquidity pools since last December, generating a cumulative $3.3 million in revenue to date. Since 2026, Base has surpassed Ethereum to become Uniswap's largest fee-generating chain, generating $55 million in fees. Boosted by the proposal news, UNI has risen 9% over the past seven days, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum, which have declined during the same period. The final vote will end on March 4th.

4. Aave Controversy Continues: Labs Concessions Against Mandatory Migration to v3, $42 Million Funding Proposal Leads in Voting

AaveDAO is voting on a major proposal that would allocate up to $42 million to Aave Labs, including $25 million for continued product development and $17.5 million in milestone bonuses. As of Friday evening, the "support" vote held a narrow 52% lead, and voting will end on Saturday. The controversy centers on Aave Labs' original plan to curtail the development of v3 and force users to migrate to the yet-to-be-released v4 version. This move sparked strong backlash, with prime contractor Bored Ghosts Developing announcing it would not renew its contract and criticizing the proposal as almost absurd. This week, Aave Labs conceded, promising not to force migration, and v3 will continue to operate.
