Alibaba introduced its first wearable device → the Quark AI smart glasses. Named after the company’s virtual assistant, the glasses aim to be slimmer and more practical than competing models, with arms reportedly 40% thinner than the industry average.
Built on a Snapdragon AR1 chip and running both Android and RTOS, the device is designed to avoid common pitfalls of similar wearables, including bulky design, poor battery life, and limited functionality. Quark AI integrates seamlessly with Alibaba’s services: users can make payments via Alipay, compare prices on Taobao, and access real-time navigation through Amap.
Sales are expected to begin later this year, but no specific release date has been announced.

Pavel Durov revealed that the owner of the Telegram handle @crypto was recently offered $25 million for the username. Originally purchased for $350,000, its value has skyrocketed 70-fold.
Durov used the story to highlight a broader point: Telegram users truly own their digital assets. There are no intermediaries, and all transactions are protected by TON smart contracts.
"Telegram is the only major social platform that treats users as free people with unalienable rights — including the unbreakable right to own their digital identities and assets," Durov concluded.
