The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (H.R. 5045), introduced by Representatives Emmer and Soto on August 17, 2021, marks a pivotal advancement for blockchain technology. This legislation seeks to carve out a safe harbor for blockchain developers and service providers who do not control digital currencies, shielding them from the licensing and registration mandates typically reserved for financial institutions.

Core Elements of the Act​

• Safe Harbor Provision: Targets blockchain entities without control over digital currencies, exempting them from being classified as money transmitters or financial institutions, thus freeing them from burdensome regulatory requirements.
• Intellectual Property and State Law Respect: Maintains the act's non-interference with intellectual property laws and upholds the ability of states to enforce compatible regulations.
• Clear Definitions: Establishes precise definitions for "blockchain network," "developer," "service," "control," and "digital currency," clarifying the act's scope and applicability.

Impact on the Blockchain Sector​

The act is a significant stride towards regulatory clarity for the blockchain industry, fostering an environment conducive to innovation while ensuring necessary consumer protections. By delineating non-controlling from controlling entities, it focuses regulatory efforts where they're most needed, promoting a secure and flourishing blockchain ecosystem.

Forward Look​

The Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act represents a critical step in acknowledging and supporting blockchain technology's growth within a suitable regulatory framework. It's a move towards empowering innovation in the blockchain space, setting a precedent for future legislative efforts in this rapidly evolving field.

As the CEO of a startup in the web3 domain, I'm often intrigued by emerging tech trends. The rapid ascent of bot platforms, particularly in the context of blockchain and decentralized finance, has caught my attention.

The New Wave: Telegram Bots in Web3​

With the growth of Unibot, robot concepts are becoming a new area of competition. The landscape now features hundreds of bot-centric and micro-innovative projects. Telegram, a must-have social application in the crypto circle, boasts a staggering 800 million monthly active users. These numbers become even more fascinating when you consider how Telegram Bots are simplifying crypto interactions. Within the platform, bots can handle a variety of tasks, from decentralized finance (DeFi) and miner extractable value (MEV) protection to data analytics, whale tracking, and even community gaming governance. The appeal lies in their accessibility, convenience, and wide-ranging applications.

However, rapid growth often brings skepticism and worries. Concerns about the security vulnerabilities of Telegram Bots and the maturity of the technology have begun to surface.

Unibot: The Phenomenon​

Launched in June, Unibot took just two months to achieve a phenomenal status, spawning hundreds of imitative projects. It hit a peak market cap of over $200 million, although it later faced stiff competition from "Banana Gun", leading to a considerable market share decline. Despite this drop, its current market value stands around $60 million, keeping Unibot as the leading figure in the bot arena.

Unibot Features:

• New project tracking
• Copy-trading capabilities
• Limit orders
• Token tracking and precision sniping within Telegram
• Speedier than conventional decentralized exchanges, outpacing platforms like Uniswap.

Revenue Model:

1. Service Fee: Unibot charges a 1% service fee. 40% of this is allocated to $UNIBOT Token holders, with the remaining going toward team operations.
2. $UNIBOT Token Tax: The token imposes a 5% tax. 1% of the transaction volume is shared with $UNIBOT holders.

In its prime, daily revenue reached beyond 300 ETH. Despite challenging market conditions, Unibot has performed impressively, garnering approximately 15,000 users and generating around 8,200 ETH (approx. $13 million) in total revenue within three months.

Banana Gun: The Challenger​

Banana Gun, a recent entrant, has managed to challenge Unibot's dominance. With features similar to Unibot, it has garnered a user base comparable in size, but with slightly more active members. Notably, it's proving to be more effective in its "sniping" capabilities. Banana Gun's recent pre-sale raised 800 ETH, and they faced some liquidity withdrawal issues due to contract tax complications.

The Broader Bot Ecosystem​

Other bots in the market focus on various niche aspects, such as:

• Analyzing contract details for potential red flags, like liquidity pool locks, contract access renunciations, and "rug pull" possibilities.
• Tracking the actions of high-performing wallet addresses.
• Monitoring newly launched project tokens for potential early investment opportunities.

Why Are Bots Gaining Traction?​

1. Their integration with Telegram, one of the most widely-used applications in the industry, provides a natural congregation of traffic.
2. The essence of buying and selling remains a fundamental need in finance. The functionalities of these bots revolve around trading, and ultimately, profitability is their selling point.

In conclusion, the world of web3 bots is evolving rapidly. As decentralized technologies mature, bots will undoubtedly play a significant role in the way we interact with and leverage the capabilities of the blockchain. As a stakeholder in this space, I'm excited to be a part of this journey and look forward to the innovations that lie ahead.

1. A requirement for an intermediate tier between the Free and Pro plans.
2. A desire for a more flexible 'pay-as-you-go' option.
3. An opportunity for us to accommodate more requests through a more efficient infrastructure.

Based on these insights, we're excited to announce the introduction of a pay-as-you-go feature using Compute Unit Credit (CUC), and to share details about modifications to our pricing plans.

Understanding Compute Units and Compute Unit Credit​

A Compute Unit (CU) serves as a standard measurement that quantifies the computational expense incurred during an API call. It's akin to how AWS charges for compute usage. The computational cost varies depending on the intensity of the queries – some are lightweight and fast (e.g., eth_blockNumber) while others can be more demanding (e.g., large eth_getLogs queries). The cost in CU for each request across different products can be found in our API marketplace.

Compute Unit Credits (CUC) are like credit card rewards on our platform to serve as royalty points. Those points are identical to compute units. Developers could spend CUC on our platform to get extra quotas for API calls.

Implementing Pay-As-You-Go with CUC​

We'll set up a reward account for each customer. Customers can load this account with CUC, which will then be consumed as per their API usage.

• For the Free tier, we ensure a minimum balance of 0.3 CUC at the start of each month.
• For the paid tiers (Basic, Pro, Enterprise 50), we will credit the account on each subscription or renewal.

We do not allow customer to withdraw CUC for now.

The credits on BlockEden.xyz will be reconciled daily and also each time a withdrawal or deposit is made. BlockEden.xyz maintains the rights to the Compute Units (CU) on our platform, along with the authority to clarify the application of the API and the usage of credits.

Pricing Plan Modifications​

Below are the changes to our pricing plans. The original pricing structure was as follows:

In response to customer feedback, we've made the following adjustments:

1. The "Enterprise 500" tier has been discontinued, and a "Basic" tier has been introduced to offer indie developers more flexibility.
2. Rate limits have been increased five-fold for almost all plans.

Here is our updated pricing structure:
