Imagine combining the mechanics of a prediction market with the look and feel of a professional crypto trading platform. Instead of simply guessing whether Bitcoin goes up or down, you forecast where its price will be at a specific time using event contracts. Trade probabilities. Forecast the future.

When you hear “multi vendor multisig” it sounds really difficult and scary. It’s doesn’t have to be. You get this out of the box with Casa with one hardware wallet, and if you were already using that HWW you will find the UX easy. HWW + phone + Casa. No KYC, easy app.

In our latest research work, we tackle the tricky challenge of verifying attestation of Lightning channel balances! As Lightning continues to grow in volume and institutional adoption, it will be increasingly desirable for companies to be able to cryptographically attest to the Bitcoin they have in Lightning channels for auditors, proving solvency, credit, and lending. Offchain payment channels are unable to be verified onchain via regular digital signatures, however they do have native APIs that report balances. Running Lightning nodes in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), creates strong guarantees of the integrity of the software being run, which can be combined with proofs of delivery (zkTLS, etc), resulting in a strong layered approach to generating and verifying attestations. arxiv.org/abs/2512.12095

We test onboarding open source repo's to Hive regularly and the latest felt like magic (react-grab.com). Paste in a github URL and get: - code is parsed into a graph database - test coverage analyzed - agent friendly documentation created - scan for exposed secrets - an agent spins up your app on VMs - PRs for missing tests appear Hive will make managing a product fun again.

1/ ⚡️ The Lightning Network is key to Bitcoin’s scalability, but traditional metrics like capacity & node count only scratch the surface. There’s a better way to measure network health: Max Flow.

So excited to announce @Strata_BTC We believe verifiable compute (ZKPs) unlocks the next phase of bitcoin: trust-minimized, accessible financial apps that expand the utility of BTC. It's an absolute privilege getting to work with world-class cryptographers, protocol engineers, and builders at @AlpenLabs who are determined to bring this vision to life through Strata.
Endgame money. Refocusing our industry. With Strata, we begin the endgame in forging money that frees us from the remaining grip of financial hegemony that fills our lives. ZK + Bitcoin is this next evolution of money together with the platform that brings it to life. 1/

⚡️⚡️⚡️ Payment channel networks like Lightning are architecturally our best shot at moving the velocity and fluidity of money significantly closer to that of information (the internet). There is only one payment channel network (Lightning) in production today...
I feel like a large amount of GDP is locked up because it is difficult for person A to very conveniently pay 5 cents to person B. Current high fixed costs per transaction force each of them to be of high enough amounts, which results in business models with purchase bundles, subscriptions, ad-based, etc., instead of simply pay-as-you-go. As an example, I'd like my computer to auto-pay 5 cents to the article/blog that I just read but I can't, and I think we're worse for it. In a capitalist system, transactions between entities are the gradient signal of the economy. Because our pipes don't support low magnitude terms in the sums, the gradients are not flowing properly through the system. I'm not familiar enough with payments to have an idea of specific solutions, but I expect we'd see a lot of positive 2nd / 3rd order effects if the gradients were allowed to flow properly, frictionlessly and with much higher resolution.
