Rhythm X Zhihu Hong Kong Event Recruitment Skills, Register Now for a Chance to Showcase Live
Six months ago, "How to Write Good Prompts" was the hottest topic in the group. Now, this question is clearly outdated. Replacing prompts is Skills.
The most apparent turning point, of course, was the emergence of OpenClaw.
Even though it could be said to be a copy, not an original of the agent, it truly brought the concept of the agent into the public eye, closer to the kind of AI you've seen in movies: has personality, can remember things, can plan, can truly get things done for you, not just answer your questions.
In the past, when everyone used AI, essentially they were using a very smart search engine—you ask, it answers, the next round starts again. The agent extended this line. It will actively advance tasks, detour obstacles, move on to the next step after completing one. The first time you see it actually handle a complete thing, you will have a strange feeling: this thing is really helping me get things done.
Then everyone started to think: how to make it more capable.
This is the real reason Skills took off. Not because Skills themselves are so novel, but because the agent made people seriously think about this issue for the first time. What Skills are doing is equipping the agent with specialized capabilities.
Why are Skills so important now?
An agent without Skills is like a smart but uneducated newbie. You ask him to do financial analysis, he will think, but his actions are slow, error-prone, many steps require you to guide him step by step. Skills are like him having learned the complete process of this field in advance—coming in, he can hit the ground running, without needing you to correct him repeatedly.
Now the most widely spread Skills in the community are concentrated in several directions: workflow automation, integrating operations that used to bounce back and forth between multiple tools into a chain that the agent can run on its own; injecting rules into professional domains, ensuring that the agent does not play arbitrarily when performing tasks with high accuracy requirements such as legal, medical, and financial tasks; personalization adaptation, tuning the agent to your most preferred way of working, remembering your preferences, language style, judgment criteria; of course, there is also a category of Skills related to money matters, such as trading.
The arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket, ordinary people cannot understand the odds, nor do they have time to watch trends and calculate spreads. But an agent equipped with specialized Skills can: monitor in real-time, identify deviations, decide whether to enter, the entire process does not require you to have any background knowledge of predicting the market.
The same goes for quantitative trading. In the past, this was the domain of investment banks and hedge funds, requiring writing strategy code, integrating with APIs, and monitoring backtest data. Now, someone has packaged the entire process into Skills, which can be installed on an agent to begin executing strategies on exchanges. The barrier to entry has shifted from "knowing programming and understanding finance" to "knowing how to install Skills."
This shift is not about making people lazy but about pushing the boundaries of capability outward.
Behind these demands is a common logic: people are starting to seriously regard the agent as a long-term collaborative partner rather than a disposable tool.
So, do you have any novel ideas that you would like to turn into your own agent's skill?
In the past, you had ideas, identified a market gap, but couldn't execute. You couldn't code, didn't have time to learn, outsourcing was expensive and slow, so that idea ended up rotting in your notes. Now things are different. Using vibe coding, you can directly mold your idea into a Skill—without building a website, without creating an app, without needing servers, without maintaining a team.
The underlying logic of this is: an agent will be a must-have for everyone. Your created Skills don't need you to acquire customers yourself; they naturally run on every agent that people are already using. The market is there, the channel is there, you just need to build something that others haven't.
Previously, between "I have a great idea" and "I have a working product," there was a technical team. Now, this distance has been compressed into a single weekend.
To showcase more good skills, BlockBeats and Zhihu partnered to host an event in Hong Kong on April 21 with the theme "Decrypting Web 4.0: When AI Agents Take Over On-chain Permissions."

Foreign selling in the South Korean stock market accelerates, with cumulative net sales reportedly reaching $75 billion this year
On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading
In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.
As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.
The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy TradingFor elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.
To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.
The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.
By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.
Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× LeverageIn a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.
Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.
This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.
A Mature Foundation for GrowthThe synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
