In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival holiday has passed. As everyone refocuses on normal life, I bet many are still thinking about one thing—the update from the Old Four during this New Year holiday. Will they surprise us with a groundbreaking breakthrough? After all, this is what we've been hoping for, and who doesn't want to see real progress?
Honestly, after reading this update, many might feel a little disappointed because the most pressing real-world issues weren't mentioned at all. But I still advise everyone to be patient and read through this explanation because the Old Four spoke very frankly this time. They clearly outlined what they are doing now, what their next steps are, and where they will focus in the future. This is very important for our long-term perspective.
Thinking carefully, isn’t life the same way? We always hope for a “surprise drop,” hoping for everything to be perfect in one step. But most of the time, truly reliable things are never achieved overnight. Just like us—years have passed, some give up halfway, some persist. Ultimately, everyone is hoping for a long-term promise.
This time, the Old Four isn’t making big promises or blowing smoke. Instead, they are honestly talking about what they are working on, which makes people feel more confident—those who only talk about surprises and not about real work are the ones who leave people feeling uncertain.
Let’s highlight the key point: The Old Four is only telling the truth this time.
Now, I’ll explain the core content of what Dr. Ni and Dr. Fan said, in the simplest terms~
First, they celebrated the one-year anniversary of opening up, which basically means February 20 last year, when they officially entered the “Open Phase.” This was a major turning point in their development. They also reflected that over these six years, everyone involved has invested a lot of time and effort, all to make the system truly usable, not just to see a number.
Think about it—ordinary people, how many can stick with doing one thing for several years in their lifetime? It’s not easy. Some see it as a waste of time, others see it as silent accumulation. No matter what, those who persist have resilience.
Sometimes, persistence itself is more meaningful than the result—like life. Not all efforts yield immediate returns, but every bit of perseverance will eventually pay off at some point.
Core difference: How is it different from other tools?
Next, they emphasized a key point: It’s different from other crypto tools! How so?
First, it’s free with no barriers, and it can be used on mobile phones—no need for complicated large devices. Second, every pioneer must do K&C—proving you are a real person, not a bot. Third, and most importantly—no false promises, focusing on “usable” rather than “hype.”
They gave a very practical example: many current crypto tools only think about circulation, even if they have no real use. As long as people hype it up, they don’t care about anything else. But the Old Four don’t want to do that because it’s useless! Even if it circulates and is popular, if it can’t solve real-world practical problems, in the end, it’s just empty talk.
Key takeaway: What is the Old Four busy with now?
Some might ask, what exactly are the Old Four working on now? Can’t they just sit still? Don’t worry—they clearly summarized their current work into four concrete tasks:
First, K&C and migration. This is the top priority right now. Simply put: speed up verification, allow more people to complete K&C, lift restrictions, and support those who failed to migrate before to do so again, so everyone can truly participate in the ecosystem. Also, this quarter, they plan to distribute promised rewards to verifiers.
Second, helping developers build better tools. Basically, making it easier and more convenient for those who want to develop apps or tools within the ecosystem. For example, optimizing interaction settings so developers can create interactive features faster. This will make future barter and service exchanges smoother.
Third, developing artificial intelligence to simplify app development. AI is very popular now, and the Old Four want to leverage this trend—using AI assistance so that even those without complex technical skills can quickly create usable apps. This will increase the number of practical tools in the ecosystem.
Fourth, improving stability and supporting a high-quality, venture-backed super-ecosystem. On one hand, continue optimizing technology for more stable usage; on the other, support startups that are truly useful and solve real problems, helping them grow. This will help better integrate into the real world.
At this point, I can’t help but reflect: we always hope for “overnight success,” expecting a sudden surge. But what the Old Four are doing now is “laying the foundation.” Just like building a house—if the foundation isn’t solid, even a tall building will eventually collapse. Only with a firm foundation can the house be tall and stable.
The work they’re doing—K&C, development tools, venture screening—may seem slow, but it’s actually laying the groundwork for future “surprises.”
Hidden opportunity: Will K&C be a service in the future?
Another key point: K&C will become a service that can be used across various industries. Simply put, the Old Four’s own K&C system will not only be used internally but also opened up to other companies. However, they will never leak any data—only provide a “verification interface.”
This is very powerful because many large ecosystems currently can’t solve the “identity” problem—they either have limited coverage, high costs, or security issues.
The Old Four’s K&C covers the entire region and is secure. In the future, when opened to the market, verifiers can earn extra rewards, and more people will learn about this circle. For us pioneers, that’s a good thing.
Artificial intelligence—what does it have to do with us?
Finally, they discussed AI, saying they will focus on integrating AI in the future. Some might ask, what’s the relevance to us?
Simply put, more AI-related apps will be born within the ecosystem—like AI-assisted office tools, social apps, learning software, etc. These apps can directly use our digital assets to subscribe or upgrade memberships online.
Moreover, there are already over 350,000 nodes, which is a huge advantage—later, these resources can be used for distributed AI training, which is environmentally friendly and can solve some issues of centralized training. This is a long-term strategic direction.
Not expecting short-term surprises, just waiting for long-term reliability
By now, everyone should understand. This update didn’t bring the new heights or surprises we hoped for, but the Old Four revealed their “cards”: they are diligently laying the foundation, continuing to improve the ecosystem, develop tools, promote K&C, and focus on integrating AI in the future so the ecosystem can truly be usable.
Finally, I want to share some heartfelt words: Over these years, we’ve all faced difficulties—expectations, disappointments, persistence, confusion. That’s normal. But believe me, anything worth looking forward to takes time to accumulate; anything truly valuable requires steady effort.
We always hope for surprises, but they never come out of nowhere. They are hidden in every act of persistence, in every practical effort, in every silent night the Old Four work tirelessly, and in our own hearts—our initial resolve to never give up and stay patient.
The Spring Festival holiday is over. We should refocus on life and work, but also keep some patience—give the Old Four some time, and give ourselves some time. After all, good things take time, and reliable progress is worth waiting for. When the foundation is solid and the ecosystem is complete, the surprises we look forward to will arrive as scheduled.
