Odaily Planet Daily reports that the SOON Foundation has launched its governance system today, allowing SOON holders to participate in voting and decision-making. At the same time, the Foundation announced a proposal to permanently burn 30 million SOON tokens (accounting for 3% of the total supply) in response to recent market volatility. Of these, approximately 7.7 million unclaimed airdrop tokens will be burned first, while the remaining 22.3 million will be repurchased from centralized exchanges and then burned. In addition, the SOON Foundation will hold a community AMA next Wednesday to provide detailed information about the token buyback plan, and is currently developing an on-chain buyback product to further enhance on-chain liquidity.

According to a report by Jinse Finance, citing internal records reviewed by the U.S. news outlet Politico and sources familiar with the matter, at least eight of the original core staff members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have already left the government. Over the past six months, anyone wishing to access the sixth floor of the U.S. General Services Administration headquarters—the core office area of the DOGE led by Musk—had to pass a check by an armed guard, and only those whose names appeared on a pre-approved list were allowed entry. Now, the guard has been withdrawn, and the sign next to the elevator that once read "Authorized Personnel Only" has also disappeared. Compared to the high-profile employee dismissals in the early months, DOGE's current focus has shifted. Recent work includes removing redundant government websites and phone lines, canceling unused software licenses, and collaborating with the National Weather Service to upgrade the nationwide weather broadcast system. In addition, DOGE is developing a new project called AI.gov, aimed at accelerating government innovation through artificial intelligence. (Jin10)
