According to ChainCatcher, at the "Crypto 2026: From Cryptocurrency to Smart Economy" forum held in Hong Kong, Tencent Cloud industry architect Alan Nie delivered a keynote speech titled "Cloud + AI Dual Engines: Tencent Cloud Boosts New Web3 Growth". Alan Nie pointed out that Web3 companies are facing three main bottlenecks in global infrastructure, R&D efficiency, and business intelligence. Tencent Cloud drives deep integration of "Cloud + AI" dual engines, providing global low-latency infrastructure. Among these, the Singapore data center is the only global cloud provider offering four availability zones, the self-developed TDSQL-C database enables second-level elastic scaling, and Redis single-node performance exceeds 300,000+. For AI empowerment, Tencent Cloud has launched CodeBuddy (AI pair programmer) and WorkBuddy (personal AI assistant), which can automatically generate code, process office documents in batches, organize meeting minutes, and support multiple Agents working in parallel to execute complex tasks. In financial scenarios, the automated research report reproduction cycle has been reduced from three days to half a day; in on-chain data analysis scenarios, storage costs have dropped to 1/10 of the original, and query response times have reached the millisecond level. Alan Nie stated that Tencent Cloud is committed to helping Web3 companies build the next generation of smart economic infrastructure with the "Cloud + AI" dual engines.

In response to the approximately $290 million attack, Axelar pointed out that before the final forensic results are released, multi-layer protection for cross-chain bridges should be strengthened.
