Strong evidence @themafinancial we can replace APs with agents and DeFI too. No more S&P500 depegging. More yield for everyone.
defi will save consumer crypto 4% yield on stablecoins > 0.01% savings account 1 click access to stocks > set up a whole account instant payments in any currency > waiting days + conversion fees make that easy = win

Introducing @YukonResearch A platform for open frontier research. Over the past 2 months, an open network of humans + AI has already: - Beat Google’s frontier quantum circuit result over 50% - Made Poolside’s open-weight model run 2.6x faster - Increased post-quantum Ethereum scaling by 3.5x - Boosted Lighter’s prover 9.5x faster Put a hard frontier science problem in front of many independent solvers, each bringing different models, harnesses, prompts and tacit knowledge. And let the best results compound. Accelerating the future of scientific progress together with AI. Bring us your hardest problem: yukon.org

imagine how public perception of the crypto industry would change if this was deployed as $150,000 of onchain public goods bounties for civic improvements across US cities

Cycles Pay is now officially running on @arc mainnet. This is the first application built on top of the Cycles protocol, a privacy-preserving clearing algorithm that finds loops of mutual debt and settles them without altering what each party is owed on net. Try it today at pay.cycles.money/ We already have a web app and a mobile app, and we’ve already added support for both businesses and individuals. Perhaps more importantly, it has a combination of features no one else in the industry has built yet: private stablecoin payments, earn vaults, invoicing, expense splitting and AI assistants. And we’re working on adding invoice financing, credit scores, balance lending, and rotating savings groups with the ultimate goal of becoming the first on-chain credit bureau to deliver credit scores based on real payment history and active payment obligations. @arc is the foundation. We chose it because it is designed for payments with USDC as gas, sub-second finality, and reliable global infrastructure.

Many years of hard work went into the Poseidon family of hashes, and they have provided great real-world value on Ethereum and elsewhere and will continue to do so for several years. They are the reason why it's fast to generate a client-side SNARK for a modern privacy-protocol. The fact that we have ultra-fast general-purpose STARKs (mid-three-digit overhead for basically any batched computation) and may well soon drop to double-digit or even lower is more amazing than anything that we had been hoping for in the early 2020s. Big congratulations to all involved in Poseidon, and all involved in STARKs. firefly.social/post/x/208790…

Everybody is asking me what @world_xyz is. Excited to finally reveal: World is an x402-based agentic modular, intent-centric settlement layer for trustless RWA tokenization that unifies cross-domain liquidity into a single composable state graph, delivering institutional-grade finality through a parallelized zkVM, restaked shared security, and MEV-internalizing solver with an omnichain, account-abstracted, permissionlessly verifiable execution environment

There are 2 (two) RIDICULOUSLY EASY ways to get to the @Pizza_DAO event in SEATTLE's amazing Beacon Hill Neighborhood. You can take the @SoundTransit Link light rail to the BEACON HILL or COLUMBIA CITY station. The world (fine seattle) famous Clockout Lounge and Stevie's are a short .3 mile / 8 minute walk or lime bike ride. If you have slightly more time you can walk through Jefferson Park (public golf course!) or explore the Cheasty greenspace
