According to BlockBeats, on September 10th, Anza, the core development team of Solana, posted on the X platform that the mainnet Beta trading V1 will be activated starting at epoch 1035, which is expected to be around 1:20 UTC on September 15th.

The ecosystem team stated that more time is needed to test and integrate V1 support; V1 is currently available on the development network for integration testing. Compute budgets in V1 are set through new transaction configurations. Compute budget instructions are still available in traditional and V0 transactions, but will not take effect in V1; application developers should check the impact of these changes on their applications even if they do not plan to send V1 transactions.

According to a report by Beating AI, citing sources familiar with the matter, DreamWorks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg is launching an AI video company with former OpenAI Sora head Bill Peebles and former Dropbox CFO Sujay Jaswa. The new company will train its own video models to directly serve filmmakers and is currently in talks with investors including a16z for funding. The company name and funding amount have not yet been disclosed.

Peebles was the core technical lead at Sora and one of the authors of the Diffusion Transformer (DiT) paper. He left OpenAI shortly after the company shut down the Sora consumer app and API this year. At the time of his departure, he publicly stated that such exploratory research needed to allow space to deviate from the company's main product roadmap.

Katzenberg has already bet on AI video this year. In May, his company WndrCo participated in a $59 million funding round for real-time AI video company Reactor. This time, he's going a step further from being an investor, directly forming a company with the former head of Sora and training the models himself.

This is Katzenberg's most radical video startup since Quibi. Quibi raised $1.75 billion but quickly went bankrupt after launching in 2020. Six years later, he's back in video, but this time he's switched from a short video platform to an AI model for filmmakers.

According to BlockBeats, on September 10th, the on-chain rally driven by the Robinhood Chain this week has temporarily cooled down, with major cryptocurrencies experiencing pullbacks. Therefore, the market is pinning its hopes for the next rally on Arc Chain, which launches on September 16th.

Because Arc's stablecoin issuer Circle's open blockchain network primarily targets institutional users, there is considerable disagreement in the market regarding whether Arc will strongly support the crypto-native meme coin culture.

Prior to this, several crypto-native platforms had already announced that they would launch support for the Arc Chain as soon as possible, including NFT trading platform Opensea and meme coin platform fomo. Circle co-founder Jeremy Allaire also responded positively to fomo's launch announcement, which can be seen as a potential indication of support for the crypto-native community. Whether Arc can successfully take over the on-chain momentum after its launch remains to be seen and will require market validation.
