  3. #Binance # OKX #Bybit The agency model has long proven to be one of the most effective growth strategies. Especially in the fiercely competitive world of crypto exchanges, the “Exchange Ambassador Program” has evolved far beyond a simple marketing tactic — it has become a battle for ecosystem dominance. Whoever can attract more community leaders, content creators, and professional traders will gain control of the global user gateway. Over the past few years, from Binance, OKX, and SuperEx to Bybit, nearly every exchange has launched its own ambassador program. On the surface, they all offer “commissions, airdrops, and bonuses,” but underneath lies each platform’s distinct understanding of the Web3 growth model. In this article, we’ll take an in-depth look at the promotion mechanisms of major exchanges. If you want to become a crypto KOL or exchange ambassador, how should you choose the right platform? Why Are Exchanges Competing for “Ambassadors”? In the traditional Web2 world, platforms gained users through advertising and influencer marketing. But in Web3, ad performance is limited and trust is harder to build. Therefore, exchanges have begun to use token incentives + community co-building to reshape their growth logic. Becoming a “promotion ambassador” isn’t just about earning commissions — it’s about becoming an ecosystem node of the exchange, a decentralized growth interface that bridges users and platforms. For exchanges, ambassador programs create three key advantages: Rapid user acquisition: Leverage social trust networks for precise growth. Reduced marketing costs: Convert ad budgets into commission incentives. Co-built brand influence: Let real users speak for the brand instead of marketing teams. That explains why Binance, OKX, Bybit, Gate, and SuperEx have all doubled down on KOL programs between 2024–2025 — before the next bull market arrives, whoever controls the most “social nodes” will control the future flow of users. Analysis of Major Exchange Ambassador Programs: Who’s More Friendly? 1. Binance Affiliate Program — The Giant’s “Elite System” Binance’s ambassador program is one of the earliest in the industry. Its main advantages lie in brand credibility and stable commission structure, though it has high entry barriers. Commission rate: Up to 50% for spot, 40% for futures. Application criteria: Qualified creators/media outlets with active content channels (details not explicitly stated). Support system: Exclusive online/offline events, Blockchain Week participation, affiliate bootcamps, content co-creation. Drawbacks: Difficult to level up, long reward cycles, not beginner-friendly. Binance’s philosophy is clear: it doesn’t chase “quantity” but focuses on cultivating selected partners. Thus, it’s ideal for established content creators or large trading community leaders — but less accessible for new KOLs. 2. OKX Affiliate Program — Resource-Rich but Highly Competitive OKX upgraded its ambassador system in 2024, highlighting multi-tiered commissions and multilingual content support. Commission rate: Up to 50%. Benefits: Official event collaborations, co-branded activities, cashback promotions. Community support: Marketing materials and regional operation resources provided. Drawbacks: Oversaturated competition and uneven resource distribution. OKX is particularly strong at building regional influence, with localized KOL programs across Southeast Asia and Latin America. However, due to market saturation, many newcomers find it difficult to grow. The program leans toward commercial brand partnerships rather than long-term personal growth for independent KOLs. 3. Bybit Affiliate — High Commission but Complex Mechanism Bybit’s affiliate program is often dubbed the “King of High Commissions.” Its structure is flexible but also complex and demanding. Commission rate: Up to 50%. Bonus system: Rewards based on both trading volume and the number of invites. Drawbacks: Delayed commission updates and regional restrictions. Special perks: Extra rewards for community contributions (Spaces, events, memberships). Bybit’s commission structure is indeed generous, but it functions more like a professional agency system — requiring ambassadors to demonstrate recruiting ability and event management experience. For ordinary creators, it can be challenging to maintain performance over time. 4. SuperEx KOL Ambassador — A Web3-Era Growth Ecosystem While most exchanges still treat “promotion = user acquisition,” SuperEx has taken a fundamentally different approach — one rooted in ecosystem co-building. As the world’s first Web3-based exchange, SuperEx has embraced community autonomy, DAO governance, and user incentive models since its inception. Its Global KOL Ambassador Program is not just a commission channel — it’s an identity framework within the ecosystem. (1) After Becoming a SuperEx KOL Ambassador, You’ll Receive: High commission rates: Among the highest in the industry — up to 50%–70% of transaction fees. Community support: Professional traffic guidance, event planning, and content resources to expand your influence easily. Brand empowerment: Access to global offline events and co-branded merchandise — enhancing your community’s credibility and appeal. Simply put, KOL ambassadors aren’t just agents — they are the “seed promoters” and “community navigators” of SuperEx’s global expansion. (2) Requirements & Process to Join SuperEx KOL Ambassador Unlike traditional programs, SuperEx has clear selection criteria to ensure community quality and engagement: Basic requirements: Community-building experience: Ability to create and manage active crypto groups. Crypto knowledge: Understanding of digital assets and blockchain trends. Active participation: Willingness to maintain and engage community discussions. Additionally, you must meet at least one of the following: Social media KOL: 100+ followers on platforms like YouTube, Twitter, or Facebook. Community owner: 500+ members in Telegram, Discord, or similar platforms. Crypto community participant: Active in 5 or more crypto-related groups. Community management experience: Prior online/offline management background. Application steps: Submit the application form: Complete the KOL ambassador form and wait for official review. 👉 https://www.superex.com/agentSystem/agentForm Generate an invitation link: Once approved, you’ll receive a personal referral link to track user registrations. Start earning commissions: Whenever users register and trade via your link, you automatically earn rebates. The entire process is efficient and transparent, allowing ambassadors to monitor their performance and maximize long-term value. 5. Gate.io, KuCoin, Bitget, and Others — Flexible but Short-Term These mid-tier exchanges offer more flexible KOL programs with lower entry barriers, but their reward systems often follow a “high early bonus, low long-term reward” pattern. Pros: Quick approval and easy onboarding. Cons: Limited traffic support and weak sustainability. Typical model: Short-term events tied to airdrop campaigns. Such platforms are suitable for creators who want to experiment quickly, but not for those seeking sustainable growth, as they lack long-term resource support and brand accumulation mechanisms. Industry Insight: From “Referral” to “Community Autonomy” By 2025, the ambassador competition has entered its second phase — evolving from pure commission rivalry to ecosystem ownership competition. The most successful ambassador programs of the future will embody three key traits: Collaborative branding: Platforms and KOLs co-create content and events, not just promote. Multi-layered income: Integrating commissions, governance, NFT rights, and DAO dividends. On-chain identity: Every ambassador’s contribution recorded on-chain, forming verifiable reputation assets. Currently, only SuperEx has fully implemented a system designed around these three principles — providing ambassadors with a growth path, long-term incentives, and on-chain identity. This isn’t just marketing; it’s the prototype of the next-generation Web3 business model. Conclusion: Which Ambassador Program Is Worth Joining in 2025? If you are a crypto content creator, community leader, or professional trader seeking sustainable income and growth through your influence, ask yourself three questions: Does this platform support your long-term development? Is its revenue-sharing model transparent and fair? Does it allow you to truly participate in decision-making? For most people: Binance represents stability, OKX represents resources, Bybit represents flexibility. But if you seek growth, collaboration, and autonomy, the SuperEx Global Ambassador Program may be the answer — one that balances the present and the future.

  23. #PicoPrism #Ethereum In mid-October 2025, a new entrant called Brevis released its “Pico Prism” technology — and the ripple effects across the Ethereum ecosystem have been far from subtle. The announcement caught the attention of the Ethereum Foundation itself, with the official account tweeting:“This is a major step toward Ethereum’s future. ZK technologies like Pico Prism will enable Ethereum to scale to global demand while still remaining trustworthy and decentralized.” Prominent figures in the ecosystem, including Vitalik Buterin and core-developer Justin Drake, likewise lauded the achievement. But beyond the fanfare, what exactly is Pico Prism? Why is it being treated as a potential game-changer? And what are the caveats that merit a more measured view? This article unpacks the technology, its significance for Ethereum’s scalability roadmap, and the open questions that remain. What is Pico Prism? At its core, Pico Prism is a zero-knowledge proof (ZKP)-based system developed by Brevis, designed for “real-time proving” of Ethereum L1 blocks. According to Brevis: In benchmark testing of Ethereum blocks (rated at a 45 M gas limit), Pico Prism achieved 99.6% coverage of blocks proven in under 12 seconds.Specifically, 96.8% of blocks achieved under 10 seconds proving time — a key milestone tied to Ethereum’s roadmap. Average proving time reported was ~6.9 seconds (for 45 M gas blocks), compared with previous benchmarks (e.g., ~10.3 s) using older hardware/architectures. Cost and hardware improvements: while a prior system (Succinct SP1 Hypercube) needed ~160 RTX 4090 GPUs (~US$256 k hardware cost) per cluster, Pico Prism achieved similar or better throughput with just 64 RTX 5090 GPUs (~US$128 k hardware cost) — roughly a 50% cost reduction plus ~3.4× performance improvement when combining speed and cost. In concrete terms: rather than every validator re-executing every transaction in a block (the current model for Ethereum L1), Pico Prism’s model is: one prover generates a ZK proof for the block, and the rest of the network merely verifies that proof — vastly reducing computation for the verifying nodes. Key architectural improvements Multi-machine, multi-GPU pipeline: the proving process has been broken into stages (emulation → recursive proving) and off-loads compute-intensive work to GPUs, leaving setup tasks on CPUs. This modular design enables near-linear scaling across multiple servers. Use of consumer-grade hardware (RTX 5090) rather than costly data-centre-only infrastructure, thereby lowering barriers for validator infrastructure and promoting decentralisation. Why “real-time proving”? Ethereum block time currently sits around ~12 seconds. Real-time proving (RTP) means the proof for a given block is produced in less (or not much more) than that interval — ideally <10 sec — so that proof-based validation can keep up with block production speed. When validated quickly, validators no longer need to re-execute every transaction in the block; they just verify the proof. That has implications for throughput, node hardware requirements, decentralisation, and cost. Why does it matter for Ethereum’s scaling? Ethereum has long straddled the “scalability vs. decentralisation vs. security” trilemma. Its current model (on L1) means every validator must re-run every transaction in every block. As usage grows, this becomes a bottleneck: large block sizes increase hardware demands, limit validator participation (centralisation risk), and keep gas costs high. Pico Prism’s breakthrough is important for the following reasons: 1. Lowering validator hardware barrier → greater decentralisation If validators only need to verify a small ZK proof rather than re-execute entire blocks, their hardware requirements drop dramatically. Brevis argues that nodes could potentially run from much smaller hardware (even home-server or laptop class) rather than large rigs. A more decentralised validator set guards against centralised control and thus improves security/trust. 2. Raising throughput (TPS) potential By shifting from re-execution to proof verification, block production can scale. Ethereum’s roadmap suggests aiming toward ~10,000 TPS (transactions per second) on L1 (post major upgrades like Fusaka/EIP-7825 etc). Pico Prism is cited as one of the technology enablers. 3. Cost reduction & accessibility High gas fees on L1 are in part due to compute intensity and block size limits. If block validation becomes cheaper (via RTP), then higher throughput and lower fees become more feasible. Also the lowering of hardware cost for proving clusters (US$128k vs previous US$256k) makes broader infrastructure deployment economically viable. 4. Enabling richer dApps and ecosystem growth Greater base-layer capacity and lower costs open the door for more complex dApps: DeFi, gaming, real-world assets, cross-chain protocols. It also makes L1 more competitive relative to L2s or alternative chains. Vitalik’s remark underlines this: RTP/ZK integration like Pico Prism are “a major step toward scaling while maintaining trust/decentralisation”. Context: Where does this fit in Ethereum’s roadmap? The Ethereum Foundation’s July 2025 roadmap set explicit goals for real-time proving, ZK-EVM integration, and hardware/cost targets. Key targets included: ≥99 % block coverage under proving targets <10 sec proof time for “most” blocks Hardware cost for proving cluster <US$100 k Power consumption <10 kW (to make home validation feasible) Pico Prism, while not yet hitting all “ideal” targets, has significantly narrowed the gap (96.8% <10 s, cost ~US$128k). It demonstrates progress from research toward production-grade infrastructure. Justin Drake noted that upcoming upgrades (e.g., EIP-7825) will optimise L1 block structure to better support parallel proving/sub-blocks — making technologies like Pico Prism more effective. What are the potential limitations & open questions? While the numbers are compelling, a balanced analysis must consider caveats. 1. Proof-vs-production: Lab vs live The benchmark results (e.g., 6.9 seconds average proof time for 45 M gas blocks) are promising. But they are measured in controlled testing conditions (“ama 1,000 blocks sampled” etc) rather than under full live network conditions where block conditions vary, forks occur, network latency matters, and adversarial conditions apply. 2. Hardware centralisation risk Even though Pico Prism lowered GPU count/cost, it still requires 64 high-end GPUs (RTX 5090) for the benchmark cluster. That means some infrastructure cost and sophistication remains; whether many independent actors will deploy such clusters remains to be seen. If only a few entities can run proving clusters, we could face centralisation of proving capacity (even if verification remains decentralised). 3. Validator economics & incentives Transitioning many validators to “just verifying proofs” instead of full re-execution involves economic incentives, consensus protocol changes, software upgrades, and ecosystem alignment. If the incentives are misaligned (e.g., cheaper hardware but lower rewards) validators may delay adoption. 4. Security risk & trust assumptions ZK proof systems introduce new cryptographic assumptions and complexity. While proving entire Ethereum blocks via ZK is technically viable, the security of the proving system, resilience against bugs, ensuring soundness/completeness, and decentralised upgrading are non-trivial. The network must ensure the prover(s) cannot cheat or collude. 5. Interoperability & ecosystem integration Pico Prism is one piece. For Ethereum’s L1 to fully shift toward proof-based validation, other pieces must align: consensus layer changes, block size/gas re-thinking, client software, network upgrade coordination. Without holistic alignment, the benefit may be delayed. Implications for developers, validators & ecosystem participants For developers dApp builders can look forward to lower base-layer fees and higher throughput options. But they should also monitor how quickly real-time proving solutions like Pico Prism move from testing → production → full node support. Projects targeting L1 might see fewer scalability constraints, but still need to account for transition risk. For validators and infrastructure providers Hardware requirements may drop in the medium term (less need for full re-execution rigs). Opportunity for “light-node” or home-validation becomes more realistic — which could broaden participation and decentralisation. Providers of proving clusters (e.g., Brevis-type infra) may become new infrastructure players; risk of concentration needs monitoring. For ecosystem/governance The shift toward ZK-proof-based validation shifts the paradigm: trust moves from raw compute to cryptographic validity. Governance and audits must adapt. Upgrades like EIP-7825 and roadmap changes will need coordination across clients, protocols, and validators. The economic model of Ethereum (fees, gas, block size) may evolve — fees may drop, but block size/gas limit decisions become more critical. Summing up: Meaning, timing & what to watch Pico Prism is by no means a silver bullet — but it represents a meaningful advance in the push toward Ethereum’s next growth phase. Its achievement — near-10-second proof times, consumer-hardware clusters, cost reduction — crosses several “hard lines” in Ethereum’s scaling challenge. For participants — developers, validators, and investors alike — the takeaway is cautious optimism. The foundation for transformative change is taking shape, but execution, ecosystem alignment and decentralisation still need to be proven in real-world conditions. Real-time proving is not just a technical feat — it’s a critical enabler for Ethereum’s next chapter. Disclaimer: This article is for informational and educational purposes only.

  24. I ran into scaling headaches, especially with rotating proxies getting blocked mid-job. What made a big difference for me was switching to Custom Scrapers. They handle anti-bot detection better than most pre-packaged tools I tried and are easier to tweak for site structure changes. Saved me hours every week compared to patching random scripts myself.
