AMMs were a solid start, but now we’re seeing... a clear demand for CLOBs, especially for highly liquid assets. Why? --- CLOBs are significantly more capital efficient than AMMs. In this simulation, CLOBs required 80% less capital while providing: - Lower slippage across all trade sizes - Less leakage to arbitrageurs (aka market makers in CLOBs) - Improved price discovery compared to the xy=k curve used in AMMs So why did we start with AMMs? --- Ethereum L1 isn't a high-throughput chain. Early DeFi primitives were designed with Ethereum’s throughput constraints, which made running an on-chain order book impractical. What’s changed? --- We now have better infrastructure. High-throughput chains could facilitate more frequent quote updates, resulting in tighter spreads and allowing CLOBs to achieve even more capital efficiency. Thanks to enzo for the inputs.show more

Tharwa x MEV Capital: Building Liquidity with a $2B... DeFi Asset Manager We’re pleased to announce our partnership with MEV Capital, a DeFi-native asset manager with more than $1.3B in TVL and $500M in AUM. Their focus on liquidity deployment and structured risk management makes them a strong fit as thUSD continues to expand. In practice, this means deeper liquidity for thUSD and sthUSD, tighter spreads, and access to strategies that connect directly into our bonds and stablecoin markets. MEV Capital’s DeFi expertise has allowed them to efficiently manage close to $2B of digital assets across EVM chains and L1 networks such as Sui and Solana. Their presence across the UAE and Europe also matches where we’re building on the institutional side. The partnership begins with their first allocation into thUSD, setting the stage for liquidity programs and bond market integrations. Their privately run investment vehicles and curated permissionless vaults represent the first wave of capital we expect to see enter the Tharwa ecosystem. Partnerships like this are about alignment. Experienced managers paired with structured systems create liquidity that is stronger and yield that lasts. We’re glad to welcome MEV Capital as a strategic partner.

Many web3 launches were decided in the first few... days. Refundable IDOs provided a useful early safeguard for investors. But a strong team launching into a bad market could lose momentum immediately regardless of long-term potential. There are teams that were judged too soon. That’s why we built IMOs. Capital unlocks with milestones. Giving builders room to prove themselves, while holding them accountable over time. Less “did it pump?” More “did they build?”show more

Over the last few months, our engineering teams have... been heads down building a high throughput, low-latency blockchain coupled with an exchange replicable across different data centers. We’ve invested thousands of developer hours designing our data infrastructure stack from scratch. We designed our own streaming indexer to serve data to our frontend in real-time, and shipped optimized memory crates to push our general shared IPC to under 100 nanoseconds. This architecture enables us to colocate our sequencers with the key sources of price discovery across all asset classes: Tokyo for crypto, New Jersey for equities, Chicago for commodities. In turn, institutional market makers colocated with GTE bare metal racks will be able to post orders with minimal roundtrip latency, resulting in the tightest spreads and pristine liquidity. We call this GTE Turbo. By optimizing the entire stack from hardware, to the software, into the networking stack, we will build a world where anyone, anywhere, can trade anything, at anytime. lfGTEshow more

Announcing Undeads Marketplace We are pleased to announce that,... in collaboration with Superteam, we’ve created our own Collection Marketplace. It was designed to bring healthier market dynamics back to digital collectibles, which have recently become plagued by over-financialization. While some collections are pushing toward “fast, hyper liquid, order book based”, we believe that NFTs should be transacted more like art. -- Some of the best days of NFTs were several years back, on OpenSea, where you’d be browsing for pieces you actually vibe with. It was even more thrilling when floors were lava, and you’d be in a panicked rush to catch one you like before they sold. Friction was a feature. Our marketplace brings together legacy dynamics with new technology, which we believe creates the perfect climate for Solana collectibles to thrive. Focused on the collector experience, built on a cutting edge stack, and adding friction as a feature. No more points to farm or AMMs bleeding floors, but returning NFT trading to the way it's meant to be. -- Truly, we look forward to the many doors which will opened for Undeads and the broader Solana NFT ecosystem. You can expect Undeads to begin trading on our marketplace beta in Q4 2024.show more

To replace animal testing with AI, we need MASSIVE... human datasets. Today, we're thrilled to share Axiom's new data exploration tool, providing the ability to visually explore the world's largest primary human liver toxicity dataset. Built with Axiom's proprietary wetlab protocols, our dataset includes detailed liver toxicity profiles for over 100,000 distinct molecules. The key to this dataset is our ability to do high-throughput, multiplexed high-content screening with primary human liver cells. Traditionally, toxicity assays either sacrifice throughput or sacrifice biological relevance (using easy-to-grow immortalized cell lines instead of real human cells). We managed to combine throughput, physiological relevance, and multiplexing in one platform. The assays run in a high throughput format using automation, meaning thousands of compound-dose conditions can be tested in one experiment. We achieved this using pooled primary human hepatocytes, which are often fragile and expensive. By systemizing our automation and quality control processes, we were able to run over 120+ batches on the same donor pool with incredible reproducibility and consistency. We did this while integrating many readouts per well, whereas many existing toxicity assays only do a single readout. Our multiplexed approach provides far more data per experiment enabling us to measure 10-20 different toxicity phenotypes such as apoptosis, necrosis, mitochondrial fission, endoplasmic reticulum stress, stress granule formation, microtubules, and more all from a single well on a 384-well plate! The combination of scale, high content information, and data quality is exactly what is needed to train highly accurate AI models in biology. If you're interested, please explore the dataset in the comments below and let me know if you want to chat about the details!show more

We have sat on this video for a day... as we wanted absolutely no negative publicity for Jerry Rice or the tournament but this TMZ story has now come to light and we feel the need to set the record straight on what took place. We meant absolutely no disrespect to Jerry or the 49ers when asking this question as we have a profound respect for the great players that have played this game, especially (in our opinion) the greatest receiver of all time. The confrontation that followed was very unfortunate but we were not trying to elicit a negative reaction and there were no "smirks" as Mr. Rice suggested. We simply wanted the input of the greatest receiver in league's history about the Chiefs receiving corps and if it had improved enough to continue winning at a high level after an historically rough season for the group. We would be more than open to speaking with Jerry personally to clear the air on what happened and put it all behind us. Link to story including additional footage: TMZ TMZ_Sportsshow more

Seedance 2.0 - Advanced Workflows Series 14. Compositing and... Layering Some shots may have many characters that need specific movements. When we start adding characters, it becomes very difficult to achieve the exact animation, gesture, or movement we are looking of all of them in a single generation. In addition, the more characters are added, the more rigid Seedance 2.0 animations become in order to maintain consistency. This is especially visible in styles with squash and stretch and rubber hose animations, where the characters deform their body parts as if they were made of rubber, or in highly expressive movement animations in anime. For these cases, it is better to work on each animation separately and recompose it at the end into a video. Workflow + Prompts 👇show more

The final Epoch is now complete. DNA becomes fully... deflationary. 3 years ago, we bet on a revenue-share model before it was the meta. While the market was chasing high inflation tokens, we were building a sustainable system for the first truly on-chain DAO on Multiversᕽ. It was an experiment, and it is now battle-tested. The proof is on-chain. Over the last 4 epochs, the DAO generated enough revenue to buy back over 6m $DNA from the total supply. Even with EGLD dropping ~90% since our token fair-launch (with no raise, pre-mine, allocations, or hidden unlocks) $DNA sits at roughly the same USD price today as it did on Day 1. The DNA/EGLD pair has outperformed the market and remained healthy, proving the model works even in the toughest conditions. Now, the dynamic flips. Emissions have officially ended. We are entering a full deflationary cycle. No more DNA will be printed, but the DAO will keep buying. We expect the value of DNA to reflect this scarcity, while the power of your Subject X NFTs remains the key to accessing that value. What’s next? We switch our focus fully to strengthening the MultiversX ecosystem. We are here to build tools, products, and open-source tech that grow the chain. When EGLD grows, our products grow. When our products grow, the DAO earns more. When the DAO earns more, $DNA gets stronger. Thank you to everyone who made this journey possible. History is written. Now we continue building.show more

More Batteries vs. Submarines Now that the German TKMS... and the French Naval Group have massively adopted lithium-ion batteries, following the Japanese lead, this is consolidating as a major trend, just as I had predicted. The next stage will be solid-state batteries, and at that point, we'll essentially be discussing only speed and submerged endurance in comparison to nuclear submarines. Since solid-state batteries are lighter, they will allow for a greater number to be installed, freeing up space for more powerful propulsion systems. Naval Group has already sold a version of the Scorpène to Indonesia capable of remaining submerged for up to 80 days. That's with lithium-ion batteries. Imagine what this could exceed, more than double, with solid-state batteries. In practical terms, a more powerful engine combined with solid-state batteries in the proportions that Naval Group is now using in the Scorpène would provide three times the speed, meaning something like 10–15 knots at constant speed while maintaining around 50 days submerged. This would give a range of 40,000–50,000 km, requiring less than one hour on the surface for a fast recharge. For speeds above 25 knots, simply adding more batteries and a better engine would suffice, as the solid-state system has high power output. All this at 15–20% of the cost of a nuclear submarine. And if the choice is to power the batteries with a micro-reactor, it would cost 25–35% of a conventional nuclear one. Then someone will say: “But a nuclear sub can stay submerged for years.” That makes no difference at all, since even with around 60 days of endurance, the crew still needs to surface to resupply provisions. The big advantages remain: battery-powered subs are superior in silence, and speed can be addressed with larger battery packs.show more

At Uber a big problem for design teams and... engineering teams was design source of truth. No one knew what the app truly looked like, so weekly a bunch of designers would get into a meeting room and check that the engineers correctly implemented the figma designs that they made Now with coding agents throughput of changes has increased an order of magnitude and it has become impossible to manually keep up. Here we used the Revyl CLI to create a flow of every state in the Uber design, by navigating our mobile use agent on an cloud iOS simulator. This is something that would have taken a team of designers tens of hours to recreate manually; All done in less than an hour asynchronously with a simple prompt.

Everyone is waiting for the next big move in... crypto. Meanwhile, the market underneath is already changing. Institutional crypto products are becoming more sophisticated. 21shares is adding staking directly to its ETH and DOT ETF names, while BlackRock and Fidelity are also moving deeper into staked ETH products. That matters because institutional exposure is evolving beyond simply holding an asset and waiting for price appreciation. Yield is becoming part of the product. But the market itself still has the same weakness we’ve seen for years: leverage. XRP went from roughly $0.99 to $1.69 in five days before the reversal wiped out hundreds of millions in leveraged longs. BTC, ETH and SOL were pulled into the move too. So while the financial rails are getting better, positioning can still get reckless very quickly. And this isn’t limited to crypto-native assets. RWA adoption is expanding through networks like BNB Chain, putting more real-world assets in front of more users. Now the problem shifts from issuance to liquidity. More assets across more chains means more distribution, but without interoperability, liquidity can remain fragmented. Even gaming sits somewhere in this transition. The fight around GTA 6’s physical ownership model is a reminder that digital assets are increasingly becoming licenses, access rights and programmable products rather than things people physically own. That’s the bigger shift I’m watching. Crypto isn’t developing in isolation anymore. ETFs, RWAs, digital ownership, tokenized assets and onchain markets are all moving toward the same direction: more financial and economic activity becoming digitally accessible. The question isn’t whether this transition is happening. It’s whether the infrastructure can keep up once everyone stops waiting and starts participating.show more

📣 Puffer UniFi V2 testnet is now live! 🐡... The UniFi V2 testnet is officially live, and we’re inviting builders to explore the stack and join the next phase of Ethereum-native infrastructure. With the advancement of based rollup technology, UniFi offers a practical path forward to address Ethereum’s fragmentation and foster ecosystem growth. UniFi-OP enables Ethereum builders and users to avoid choosing a “winning” L2 or giving up revenue. Based sequencing keeps rollups, appchains, and general-purpose chains fully composable with Ethereum. Thanks to UniFi AVS, rollup owners can now share priority fees and MEV with validators. This upgrade was made possible in collaboration with Gattaca, , Automata Network, and Ethereum. ⚒️ What Builders Get • Governance‑optional rollups 🗳️ • Custom fee markets (subsidize, burn, or share) • KYC‑gated or fully permissionless chains 💆 What Users Feel • Sub‑10 ms confirmations ⚡ • One‑click exits to L1 (no 7‑day wait) • Seamless L1 interaction—AMMs, CLOBs, RWAs “just work” 📈 Economic Win‑Win Based sequencing ≠ giving up MEV and Priority fees. Rollup owners, gateways, and L1 proposers share MEV & congestion fees through @puffer_unifiAVS. Alignment without sacrifices. 🧩Pragmatic Composability How composable is UniFi V2? • L2 → L1 withdrawal supported • EIP‑7702 smart‑wallet standard baked in • Atomic withdrawals in the same block (no more 7 day wait) 🛡️Trust‑Minimized, Real‑Time Proving Real time proving is a must have to achieve composability and security that a rollup needs. We came up with a trust minimized pragmatic approach with TEEs for the first phase. In collaboration with Automata Network we now have: • Multi‑TEE provers (Intel TDX + AMD SEV) attest each block in less than 1s. • Hardware diversity = reduced trust assumptions. 🏎️UniFi AVS (Gateway Registry) For Preconfimrations (preconfs), we take advantage of delegated proposing to gateways to bring the speed. This service requires shared security. 🏗️Built on : • Validators opt in and delegate proposer rights. • They earn extra yield for serving preconfs. • Restaking validators solve the cold‑start problem. 💻 Preconf Phases • Centralized gateways at launch. • Progressive onboarding → many independent gateways for decentralization. • Proposer‑delegated based sequencing (speed). 🗺️Roadmap • ✅ Hybrid Based‑OP stack with TEE proving & fast gateways • 🔜 ZK proving • 🔜 Universal Registry Contract (URC) by ****@fabric_ethereum for slashing • 🔜 Commit boost Commit-Boost 📻 🕶️ 🦇🔊 integration • 🔜 Native L1 ↔ L2 ↔ L2 calls All upgrades are backward‑compatible and shipped incrementally. ⚔️Security Model at a Glance • Restaked ETH → slashable backing • Multi‑vendor TEEs → hardware redundancy • ZK fallback → cryptographic safety net No single point of failure. 🎯Metrics That Matter The KPI moves from TVL to transaction volume & speed. High‑frequency order‑flow is real revenue—and UniFi lets dApps capture it instead of donating it to someone else’s sequencer. 🧑‍💻Code & Collaboration UniFi V2 extends the open work by Gattaca on Gattaca‑OP. Dive into the repos and contribute. 📚TL;DR • Pragmatic composability with atomic withdrawals from the L2. • Trust‑minimized, real‑time proving • UniFi AVS bootstrapped by EigenLayer • Based rollups that share income 🪖Builders: stop choosing between UX, composability, and revenue.
