Azuki co-founder 2PMFLOW responded to the community on social media regarding the occurrence of identical images in Elementals' map creation, stating that this situation is a technical malfunction. Due to the event logs of the data provider becoming outdated due to Ethereum block reorganization, the metadata of a few tokens were processed incorrectly.

Azuki will launch a new NFT series GreenBean, or airdrop to Azuki holders
According to an official announcement, Azuki will launch a new NFT series called GreenBean with a total of 10,000 pieces, which may be airdropped to Azuki holders. BlockBeats previously reported that wave, a veteran holder of BAYC and NFT collector, posted on social media that he noticed the deployment of a new contract called GreenBean by the deployer of the Elemental Beans contract one hour ago. By decompiling this contract, he discovered that the contract hard-coded a reference to the Azuki main contract, while also hard-coding MAX_SUPPLY as 10,000 and mentioning the implementation of copyright fees (implying tradability).The Azuki team is suspected to be modifying the metadata of the Elementals series, causing some NFT platforms to fail to display preview images properly. According to BlockBeats' investigation, the Elementals series is different from the previous Azuki series, as the metadata storage address is on a private cloud server. Currently, when querying the Elementals series contract, some tokenURIs cannot display query results. At the same time, some NFT preview images of the Elementals series cannot be displayed properly on platforms such as Blur.
In addition, some community members have found that the repair metadata uploaded by the team seems to be a file, which redirects to a download page when accessed.

According to DL News, as more and more Ethereum is staked to protect the network, the staking yield is decreasing. In the months following Ethereum's major upgrade in September last year, the staking yield fluctuated between 5% and 6%. Since then, the circulating Ethereum staked has jumped from 11% to nearly 20%. This month, its staking yield is hovering around 4.5% to 5%.
Some researchers predict that most of Ethereum will eventually be staked. Mike Silagadze, the founder of the staking protocol ether.fi, said that if this happens, the yield may drop to below 1%, which will force the protocol to find new ways to increase yield. James Butterfill, research director at CoinShares, said that by the end of this year, an estimated 25% of Ethereum will be staked, which is equivalent to a yield of around 3%. Darren Langley, CEO of Rocket Pool, said that Ethereum staking is considered one of the safest ways to earn rewards, even if the reward rate drops significantly.

The European Commission has released a digital euro bill to ensure privacy control and offline use.
According to CoinDesk, the European Commission announced on Wednesday a legislative plan to support the digital euro, stating that this will ensure that European citizens can make digital payments throughout the eurozone for free.
The law does not make the digital euro a reality, as it is up to the European Central Bank to decide whether to issue a CBDC. Officials believe that this state-supported digital currency provides functions that private payment methods do not always have - allowing payments between friends and having higher data protection standards.
The new legislative proposal aims to ensure that the digital euro can be used offline and provides a level of privacy equivalent to cash. It prohibits the "programming" of CBDC to limit the goods that can be purchased with it, although officials say it can still be used to support conditional payments, such as monthly payments for water and electricity bills, or more complex smart contracts.
