 the Solana Foundation has initiated the SIMD-0215 proposal, which adds a new hash called "Accounts Lattice Hash". It uses homomorphic hashing to maintain the hash of the entire account state, which can be updated quickly and securely. This allows for (1) each block to contain the hash of all accounts, not just the accounts changed in that block, and (2) the removal of Epoch Accounts Hash. If adopted, it will replace Epoch Account Hash with a lattice-based approach, enabling efficient and real-time updates to the account state without reprocessing all accounts.

10x Research posted on X platform recently, emphasizing that MicroStrategy's valuation has been too high in the past few weeks. Investors are severely overpaying for indirect exposure to Bitcoin, rather than using it as a true leveraged investment in Bitcoin. Despite acquiring a large amount of Bitcoin, the stock's performance has been poor, indicating that investors are no longer willing to purchase Bitcoin through MicroStrategy at an implied price of $200,000 or higher, but can buy it directly at a lower price. This indicates that stock investors are no longer willing to support MicroStrategy with inflated NAV. This shift highlights investors' increasingly rational attitude, who previously accepted MicroStrategy as an unofficial term for "Bitcoin leveraged investment".
