- 03:01Quai Network achieves multi-chain integration through Wormhole, with $QUAI/$QI supporting native cross-chain functionality.ChainCatcher News, according to official sources, Quai Network has officially integrated with Wormhole. Quai will leverage Wormhole's core messaging layer to enable seamless asset transfers from over 40 chains to its scalable PoW ecosystem, and will use Wormhole's NTT (Native Token Transfers) standard to deploy $QI and $QUAI natively across multiple chains. Quai is the world's first energy-based monetary system network, composed of sharded EVM-compatible blockchains and utilizing the innovative Proof-of-Entropy-Minima (PoEM) consensus, claiming to achieve 255,000 TPS without sacrificing decentralization. $QUAI serves as the native token, while $QI is a decentralized "energy dollar," aiming to provide a stable and low-fee environment for scenarios such as payments, DeFi, SocialFi, and NFT. Wormhole NTT (Native Token Transfers) is an open and composable multi-chain native token transfer standard that enables cross-chain token migration without relying on traditional cross-chain liquidity pools, preserving token metadata and supply characteristics, and reducing fees and operational complexity. This integration is expected to significantly enhance ecosystem interoperability: users will be able to use $QUAI and $QI directly on more mainstream chains, developers can build dApps with native tokens in a multi-chain environment, reducing the burden of bridging and liquidity management, and ecosystem applications will more easily integrate with existing wallets and infrastructure, thereby boosting Quai's usability and adoption, and expanding its influence across the entire crypto ecosystem.

The court will issue an injunction instructing Powell and the Board to allow Cook to continue serving as a board member during the litigation. However, Jia Cobb's preliminary ruling did not resolve the key issue of whether the Trump administration's claim that Cook was allegedly involved in mortgage fraud before taking office constitutes sufficient grounds for dismissal. The case is expected to eventually be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
