Traders await Filecoin Virtual Machine upgrade

The network upgrade will allow smart contracts to run on the protocol and allow developers to build decentralized applications there. It will also introduce tokenized datasets, replication workers, and reputation systems that protect confidentiality based on trust. According to data from CoinMarketCap, during the day, the token rose 14% in the last 24 hours to $ 7.22.
Coinbase adds Uniswap and Aave to Base Blockchain
Coinbase is busy bringing decentralized finance apps Uniswap and Aave to Base, the US-listed exchange’s tier 2 network that launched last month. Coinbase’s Base layer 2 network was built using the Ethereum scaling protocol Optimism and uses Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency ETH for fees on the network. Someone familiar with the process said Uniswap will likely appear in Base in a few months.
Unstoppable Domains and Polygon (MATIC) launch ‘.polygon’ domain
Web3 domain provider Unstoppable Domains is working with Polygon (MATIC) to launch the ‘.polygon’ domain that can be used in decentralized applications on the Ethereum side-chain. With the new domain Unstoppable, users will be able to extend their Polygon (MATIC) based Web3 identity. Owners of .polygon domains will be able to use them to send crypto and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT), build Polygon (MATIC)-based websites, and access over 750 decentralized apps, games, and metaverses.

Shibarium-based PawSwap lost its Twitter account
PawSwap, a decentralized exchange project to be launched on Shiba Inu’s Shibarium network, lost its Twitter account after its Twitter support team was suspended. The PawSwap team claimed that the suspension came after reports from ‘attackers’. PawKishi, a pseudonymous PawSwap developer, spread these claims on Twitter while drawing public attention to the development. He claimed that attackers had mass-complained the exchange’s Twitter account (@PawShibarium) to take advantage of the suspension to defraud people.
The only reason the main Twitter page for PAW is reported by attackers is to create fear and use this as an opportunity for fraud. Until the official account comes back and we announce it, don’t be fooled by other accounts claiming to be PAW.
Sole reason the main Twitter page for paw was reported by attackers is to create fear and to use it as an opportunity to scam. Until the official account comes back and we announce, do not be tricked by any other accounts claiming to be $PAW
