February 24 News, Roam Network released its latest Litepaper, introducing its "Digital Terrain Map" system aimed at telecom operators and physical artificial intelligence. The system uses smartphones as a continuous measurement layer to track signal quality, latency, blind spots, and handovers in real-time. It has already collected over 3.7 billion connection measurement data points from 127,000 devices across 187 countries/regions worldwide, with approximately 10,000 to 14,000 users contributing each month. Roam's Digital Terrain Map is considered an upgraded version of traditional road testing, offering low cost, data-rich insights, and timely updates to provide telecom operators with real-time network optimization references.

February 24 News, the Ethereum Foundation has officially launched its vault staking program, with the first batch of approximately 70,000 ETH already staked. The staking rewards generated will be directly funneled back into the Foundation's vault.

In terms of technical architecture, the Foundation has chosen the open-source distributed signer Dirk and verification coordinator software Vouch as a combined solution. Dirk deploys signing nodes across different regions to reduce single points of failure and enhance system resilience; Vouch supports a hybrid configuration of multiple beacon clients and execution clients to mitigate potential network risks caused by client centralization. Additionally, its validator infrastructure adopts a minority client strategy and combines custodial resources with self-built hardware deployments across multiple jurisdictions to improve decentralization and operational stability.
