Welcome to the weekly web3 wrap up!

In news about the walled gardens of web2, Twitter has been rebranded to X (and took someone's username in the process).

In web3 DePIN news, a new AI image-generation model has been released and it was quickly deployed to the Akash network, as was Facebook's open-source LLM "Llama", Akash's GPU rental market is going live on mainnet soon, Livepeer has been added to TurboETH, and DePIN networks now have their own category on Coingecko!

In broader web3 news, Worldcoin has launched and lots of people are getting their eyeballs scanned to get their hands on some, despite Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin sharing concerns about its privacy.

And finally, in US policy news, four cryptocurrency focused bills have been voted out of committee and will be voted on by the whole house soon!
