On January 22nd, Horizen announced the adoption of the ZenIP 42407 proposal and released a new distribution plan for ZEN tokens. This update aims to optimize the block reward distribution of ZEN and strengthen the security of Proof of Stake (PoS). The new distribution plan will shift a larger proportion of ZEN emissions to the Horizen Foundation and DAO Vault to support long-term ecological development. According to the new allocation structure, ZEN's block reward allocation has been significantly adjusted.   40% of the rewards will be used for Collateral Rewards, which means an increase in the proportion of Super Nodes and EON Forger rewards. -32.5% of the reward will be directly allocated to the Horizen Foundation to support the continuous operation and development of the platform. 27.5% of the reward will be allocated to the DAO vault to enhance decentralized governance and community decision-making. -10% of the rewards will be allocated to Super Nodes, increasing the proportion of rewards originally belonging to EON Forger from 10% to 40%.   In addition, the distribution of these funds will no longer be through real-time distribution of block rewards, but through gradual unlocking. This adjustment indicates that Horizen will pay more attention to the security of PoS while promoting the long-term development of the ecosystem, and further optimize the token economy model. This update not only brings stronger financial support to ZEN, but also makes investors look forward to the future development of Horizen.

On January 23rd, Plume Network announced an important partnership with Rome Protocol and OpenTrade to further promote the liquidity and interoperability of real-world assets (RWA) among multiple blockchain networks.   The collaboration between Plume and Rome will unlock cross-chain connectivity and easily achieve RWA token interoperability between the Solana, Ethereum, and Plume ecosystems. Through Rome's infrastructure, Plume will achieve more efficient transaction processing and use Rome's shared sorter to enhance transaction processing capabilities. This move will greatly enhance the scalability of the Plume ecosystem and make it an important player in cross-chain asset transfer.   Meanwhile, Plume has also partnered with OpenTrade to bring US Treasury bond yields to its platform. Through integration with NestCredit, Plume users will be able to earn stable returns from US Treasury bonds through ERC-4626 compliant Vaults. This new development will combine traditional institutional returns with DeFi composability, further expanding the application scenarios of the Plume ecosystem.   These strategic collaborations of Plume mark its deep cultivation in the field of blockchain finance, promoting the innovative combination of real-world assets and traditional financial tools, and bringing more diversified investment opportunities to users. These collaborations will become a key driving force for the future development of the Plume ecosystem.
