BlockBeats News, February 11th, XION officially announced its recent article introducing its new infrastructure and use cases. XION announced the official launch of the DKIM module and ZK module, becoming the first blockchain to store the DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) directly on-chain, and also the first consumer-grade L1 public chain to implement zero-knowledge proof at the protocol level. XION pointed out that existing email validation solutions (including projects like zkEmail) rely on centralized DNS servers to obtain encryption keys. When email service providers rotate keys, the old validation becomes invalid, and there is no historical record to check. XION's DKIM module permanently stores these keys in the on-chain state, completely eliminating reliance on centralized DNS infrastructure. Its ZK module achieves zero-knowledge proof verification at the protocol level, with efficiency 10 times that of smart contract solutions. The two work together, allowing users to prove any information in the email without exposing the email itself. XION stated that currently about 61% of employees witnessing misconduct remain silent because the traditional choices are often to be "anonymous but ignored" or to "speak out but risk unemployment." With the above infrastructure, XION has implemented various use cases, including: Anonymous reporting and workplace evaluation (proving work identity without revealing personal information) Wallet recovery without seed phrases (email as a backup key) Purchase behavior and certificate verification (without excessive sharing of personal information) Trustless ticket resale and insurance claims, etc. The launch already supports Gmail and Apple Mail, covering approximately 3.8 billion email users globally (accounting for over 90% of the global email market). Currently, XION's platform has over 800,000 monthly active users, with over 150 brands such as Uber, Amazon, BMW, etc., integrated. The official statement describes this as a verification infrastructure built for the existing internet, allowing "verification of anything, leaking zero information."

Data shows that Total's Q4 adjusted net profit was $3.8 billion, down 13% from $4.4 billion in the same period last year and below analysts' consensus expectation of $3.9 billion.
