This broke my mental model of game dev 💀... 2.5 hours → fully playable ‘Worms’ clone. Built with Hermes agent by Nous Research Here’s what made that speed possible: Hermes used ‘Persistent Shell’ mode, which ensured it didn't forget its current folder or active tools. This allowed it to work smoothly, without the distraction of constantly having to recall where it left off last time. To optimize the workflow, the agent moved beyond linear execution and parallelized the workload. It spawned isolated subagents while executing multiple independent tool calls via ThreadPoolExecutor. Like, one subagent wrote Python RPC scripts for the projectile physics while another utilized vision tools for character sprites. When the complex terrain logic required debugging, the agent used filesystem checkpoints and the /rollback command to instantly return to a stable state. To fix UI bugs, it attached to a live Chrome instance via CDP (/browser connect), fixing rendering issues in real-time. The agent’s built-in learning loop was active from the very beginning. By the time the game was finished, this continuous process allowed the agent to autonomously convert the physics logic into a custom skill. This logic is now a permanent plugin file in the agent's plugin architecture, making the physics engine a native capability that the agent can reuse for future projects.

⛽ HERE'S THE PART NOBODY EXPLAINS TO YOU ABOUT... GAS PRICES! Trump is right: Oil companies are playing both ends against the middle! A gas station owner does not set his own fuel cost. He buys his gasoline wholesale from a refiner or distributor, often locked into a supply contract with a major oil company brand. That wholesale price is set upstream. By the refiners. By the majors. Not by the guy running the register. So why is wholesale still high when crude is sitting at $68 a barrel. The industry's answer is inventory lag. Refiners are still selling fuel made from oil they bought weeks ago at higher prices. Chevron's own CFO has said publicly that lower crude prices take time to work through the supply chain before drivers see real savings. Fine. But here is the question that breaks that excuse wide open. If stations are selling old inventory bought at yesterday's price, why does the pump price jump the second crude spikes, before that expensive new oil has even been delivered. You cannot have it both ways. Slow to fall because of old cheap inventory, but instant to rise before the new expensive inventory even arrives. The real answer is something called replacement cost pricing. Retailers price gas based on what it will cost to refill the tank tomorrow, not what they paid for the gas sitting in the ground today. That is why prices jump like lightning when crude rises. But somehow that same forward looking logic disappears the moment crude falls. Suddenly everybody remembers the inventory they are still working through. That is not a supply chain mystery. That is a choice. Economists call the pattern rockets and feathers. Prices shoot up like rockets the second crude spikes. They drift down like feathers when crude falls. The same companies pricing forward on the way up are mysteriously pricing backward on the way down. Trump named the companies directly. ExxonMobil. Chevron. Shell. BP. He said it plainly in the Oval Office, that they are the ones not passing along the savings they should already be passing along. California gets singled out too. Gas there averages over five dollars a gallon, with state taxes piling on top of everything else. This is not Trump bullying small business. This is Trump asking the companies holding the lever why the logic only runs in one direction. Lower oil should mean lower gas, with the same speed it took to raise it.show more

THE IMMIGRANT KUKI OCCUPIED CHURACHANDPUR DISTRICT OF MANIPUR VALLEY... HAS GONE ROGUE AGAIN. The Superintendent of Police office has been overpowered by an armed Kuki mob, numbering around 400, which not only threatened the SP but also vandalized the office. Additionally, the armed Kuki mob disgracefully pulled down the national flag, constituting a serious act of anti-nationalism. Recently, their leader, Mr. Paolienlal Haokip Paolienlal Haokip, mentioned "AFGHANISTANIZATION" in Imphal, yet it seems to be unfolding in his own constituencies where Chin-Kuki Narco-Terrorists have allegedly been bred for decades. The shared clips depict the Kukis engaging in violent acts, undermining their claim to being intelligent and decent groups. Instead, their actions portray them as deceitful and treacherous, not adhering to the principles of law-abiding citizens. The Press statement from a NOT SO INDIGENOUS tribal forum further reveals a concerning attitude and character, reflecting their logic and reasoning behind the ongoing violence in CCpur. It's crucial to remember that a similar cycle of violence occurred in the same place nine months ago starting on April 29, 2023, followed by incidents on May 3. A serious critic and caution should be exercised in addressing and resolving this alarming situation.

This week is already so hot. 🔥 Massive release... from Decart : Lucy 2.0 a World Editing Model running at 1080p, 30FPS in realtime. This is truly exciting, the era of real-time generative reality is here. We are moving from watching AI video to living inside AI video. A breakthrough model capable of transforming the visual world in real-time. Moving beyond offline rendering, Lucy 2.0 delivers high-fidelity 1080p video generation with near-zero latency. Lucy 2.0 literally "redraws" the entire world pixel-by-pixel, while you are watching it. e.g. If you want to be an anime character, it doesn't just put a mask on you. It turns your skin into anime skin, your hair into anime hair, and the lighting in your room into anime lighting. Lucy 2.0 is also trained to stop the generated video from slowly falling apart over time, so the same stream can run much longer without faces and details drifting. So why is this a "Massive Deal"? Traditional AI video-generation model takes a prompt, you wait 10–20 minutes, and the computer "bakes" a video for you. You couldn't touch it or change it while it was happening. But Lucy 2.0 works like a mirror. It happens in real-time (30 frames per second). There is no waiting. You move your hand, the AI character moves its hand instantly. The craziest part isn't the visuals; it's the physics. Usually, AI hallucinations are glitchy—hands merge into faces, walls melt. Lucy 2.0 understands how the world works without being told. It knows that if you take off a helmet, there is hair underneath. It knows that if you splash water, droplets fly. It learned "physics" just by watching millions of videos. The physical behavior you see emerges from learned visual dynamics, not from engineered geometry or explicit physics engines. Their official technical report explicitly states that the model does not use traditional 3D engines, depth maps, or wireframes. It is a "pure diffusion model."show more

LinkedIn wrapped is here! And it's made with Rive... Stoked to be invited by BUCK to join the project. I wasn’t actually animating the thing though I had more of a technical assignment and we had quite a few things to solve. There is 9 chapters total (but not everyone sees all the chapters or even all the slides in given chapter) in 3 languages, the data being sent to Rive is raw so we had to cover for many variables: - A progress bar aware what chapters are included for given user - A progress bar checking what slides are included for and logging their duration time to progress bar - A custom slider solution (the default Rive slider is not enough if you turn contents on and off) - A State Machine logic aware of chapters or slides skipped from playback - A custom slider behavior for when there is auto-slide (instant) and tap-slide (slide animation) - A custom text-length tracker for to dynamically change font-size for long strings - A custom screen ratio tracker to scale down the UI for small screens - Handling dynamically handle big numbers (10,000 becomes 10k etc.) - Handling translations (3 languages) - Super complex behaviour for when if some data-point is missing we don’t leave a blank space, but it is being replaced with other data point instead (so some user se A-B-C, but some will see only B-C as if A never existed without leaving blank space) - Rage click prevention Amazing experience, thanks for having me. People at BUCK are absolutely goated, kudos to everyone who was helping me and to everyone who was actually doing the animations, stunning. Is it the biggest Rive exposure yet? Maybe Riveshow more

As always everyone is blind staring at the progress... of LLMs for coding and chat But meanwhile the new SOTA video model Seedance 2.5 has been slowly rolling out and it's really quite exceptional It's made by ByteDance (TikTok) who of course have lots of training data With just a few reference pics, it can get quite close to how you look IRL and you can do quite professional video shots with just a prompt I'd say it's the first video model that's now at the level of image models with the level of character likeness, cracking that in image models also took about 3 years (2022-2025) Generating 15 seconds takes about 4 minutes I put it live now on Photo AI, you can use it under [ Make video ] from the sidebar with just a prompt and your model selected! So you don't need to take an AI photo first and then turn that into a video! Saves lots of time :D It's more expensive than but I kept the credits the same (30 for 1 video) It also works inside the new video editor and you can make changes in your video with [ Magic edit ] in both the main app and the video editor Also a message for my server guy Daniel Lockyer (it can do voice too and you can even submit a voice sample of yourself, but I didn't here)show more

Some heroes score goals. Legends stop them. Created in... the iconic Captain Tsubasa manga-inspired style and brought to life with Seedance 2.0 on PixVerse Genzo Wakabayashi (若林源三), the No. 1 goalkeeper, standing between Brazil and glory in a World Youth Championship final. One free kick. One prediction. One impossible save. Prompt: Create a 15-second cinematic anime sports sequence in a manga-to-motion 2.5D hybrid style. Maintain strict character continuity: an original elite Japanese goalkeeper archetype (short black hair under a red cap, white-and-blue national kit, red gloves, calm analytical expression, elite reaction timing). No real-world character replication. STYLE: Ink-drawn manga panels transitioning into cinematic animation. Halftone shading, bold speed lines, impact freeze frames, floodlit night stadium, strong depth-of-field. Emphasis on reading play → positioning → anticipation → save execution → aftermath control. FORMAT: 16:9 · 15 seconds · 6 cuts · no UI, no overlays, no watermark 🔊 CORE SOUND RULE Commentary must explain decision-making, not just describe action. Audio must reinforce “anticipation → execution → outcome denial.” 🎞️ SHOT BREAKDOWN (REWRITTEN FOR CLEAR SAVE LOGIC) SHOT 1 (0:00–0:02.5) — “FREE KICK THREAT” VISUAL: Wide manga stadium. Free kick position clearly dangerous. Wall set. Keeper already slightly adjusting position. COMMENTARY (calm): “Saigo no furikku… koko ga shoubu da.” SOUND: Stadium low hum Distant wind Subtle tension drone SHOT 2 (0:02.5–0:05) — “READING THE SHOT” VISUAL: Keeper on line. BUT important change: he subtly shifts one step BEFORE the kick. Close-up: eyes tracking attacker + wall alignment + goal corner prediction. 0.3s anime flash shows: predicted ball curve line in his vision (overlay style manga effect) COMMENTARY (focused): “Wakabayashi… yomi kitta.” (“He has read it.”) SOUND: Heartbeat becomes clearer Soft “analysis cue” rising tone Crowd almost silent SHOT 3 (0:05–0:07) — “SHOT IS STRUCK (PREDICTED)” VISUAL: Boot hits ball. 0.4s manga impact frame. BUT keeper already moving weight BEFORE ball fully leaves foot. Key change: he is not reacting late — he is already launching. COMMENTARY (sharp): “Utta—!! …yoso doori!” (“Shot—!! Just as expected!”) SOUND: Sharp kick crack Whoosh begins immediately (keeper movement starts early) Crowd inhale SHOT 4 (0:07–0:10.5) — “ANTICIPATION SAVE (KEY HERO MOMENT)” VISUAL (IMPORTANT): Instead of last-second dive, show: Keeper already mid-air BEFORE ball reaches top corner path He intercepts trajectory early Hand meets ball at highest predicted point, not desperate reach Add split-second anime overlay: predicted curve line collapsing as ball is redirected COMMENTARY (explosive): “Yonda!! WAKABAYASHI TOMETA—!!” (“He read it!! Wakabayashi stops it!!”) SOUND: Deep bass surge Air rush from full dive CLEAN impact “THOOM” Immediate crowd explosion (clear denial reaction) SHOT 5 (0:10.5–0:13) — “CONTROL OF MOMENT” VISUAL: Keeper lands cleanly, already looking at ball going away from danger zone (important: show ball SAFE, not near goal).

You Can't Vibe-Code Trust Avishai Abrahami, Co-Founder & CEO... of Wix , interviewed by Harry Stebbings (kevin andres) Summary: Wix trades at a $2.8B market cap on $2.1B of revenue while the market ascribes roughly zero value to a business throwing off $400M a year in free cash flow. Wix CEO Avishai Abrahami's argument is that the market can't yet price what AI actually threatens: the moat is trust and business logic, and neither gets vibe-coded away. His response is to own the disruptor (Base44), train his own narrow models, and stay committed through a storm he insists always arrives on a random Wednesday. 1. Trust is the moat. The real value of Salesforce is trust: JP Morgan and huge banks let it hold all their customer data, and the CRM itself is a small part of that. "What other platform will JP Morgan trust for their customers' data? None." That trust took years to build and can't be reconstructed by an agent scraping a database, so the companies whose value lives in trust survive the SaaS apocalypse while the ones reduced to piping get commoditized. 2. The business-logic wall. "You're not going to vibe-code Shopify no matter how good you are. The business logic is too hard." Wix tested this directly: they asked a team of professional developers to build the operating logic for a single hairdresser in Base44, gave up after a week, brought in a stronger team, and still failed two weeks later. Complex operational software is far harder than a demo suggests, which is why the pizza shop and the hairdresser stay Wix customers rather than build their own stack. 3. Own the disruptor. Wix bought Base44, a one-person company, for $80M, and it now does over $150M in ARR, roughly double what they paid. Abrahami frames the future as three buckets: owners who never want to build, owners who vibe-code everything themselves, and a mix in the middle over the next five or six years. Rather than bet on which wins, Wix owns the tool customers would defect to, so a customer who switches platforms still switches to Wix. 4. Trading on someone else's news. "Today we are trading on other companies' news. We're not trading on Wix news. We're trading on what OpenAI or Anthropic or Google are saying." Base44 alone, valued on vibe-coding peer multiples, should be worth around $8B, which means the market assigns less than zero to Wix's core. Abrahami's response is to detach: he doesn't wake up checking whether the stock moved 20%, because the only thing he can influence is the business. 5. The narrow model. Wix fine-tuned and combined its own models and now matches top-tier frontier quality on Base44 tasks at far lower cost. The logic: they sit on a huge stream of training data from watching what users try and where they fail, so a model built for Base44 can skip what frontier models carry, like knowledge of Chinese poetry, and go deep on what someone means when they say "build me a task manager to tell my boyfriend where he's wrong." A narrow target is easier to hit than a frontier model, and Wix already runs a trained model on website generation that's faster, cheaper, and makes fewer errors, retrained weekly on a live feedback loop. 6. Quality before cost. When Harry cites Chamath's claim that open source runs 14-16x cheaper, Abrahami pushes back: that holds for small tasks, but for something as complex as Base44 the savings land at 5-10%, and his own model runs 1-30% cheaper than frontier, not the order of magnitude people assume. More to the point, this is the wrong time to chase cost: "20% more quality, 20% less cost, I'll go for the quality." It's a brand-new market that's just starting, and the job now is to make the product better. 7. The but is very big. "We all give too much credit for AI. It's amazing, it's incredible, it's super powerful, but the but is pretty big." He asked Claude to write a safety protocol and got six mandatory gates, then pushed back on each one and watched the model cave until only one survived, downgrading the rest from "must test" to "might want to look at later." We over-trust these systems, and that reflex, treating a Reddit post as equivalent to research published in Nature, is where the danger lives. 8. Customer support still breaks. Wix has 3,500 people and its single biggest department is customer support, serving 192 countries. They tried hard not to build their own AI support agent, tested many off-the-shelf products, and concluded flatly: "It doesn't work. We tried, we tried again, it didn't work." The gap between hyped AI support startups and what actually ships in production is the tell that the technology is earlier than the marketing, maybe five years from being different. 9. Buybacks as dividends. Wix had $1.5B sitting in the bank it couldn't put into a major acquisition because it was focused on the new product and Base44, so it bought back stock at a low price, with admittedly terrible short-term timing. Abrahami is unbothered: "The big question is where it's going to be in three years, not what happened in the last three months." He argues buybacks are a fantastic, underused tool, essentially a dividend to every shareholder, and companies should lean on them to balance stock-based compensation instead of endlessly diluting. 10. Execution, not finance. A low stock price makes M&A currency less valuable, but Abrahami says that's not his real constraint. Base44 was a one-person company; Wix had to build an entire company around it, staffing it with people pulled from the core. "I don't know how to do another one of those at the same time and have the same quality." The bottleneck on the next acquisition is execution capacity, not the balance sheet. 11. Chosen to be here. The one thing money buys beyond food security is freedom, and the deepest form of that freedom is knowing you're here by choice. "I'm here because I've chosen to be here. Nobody made me." He could move to Costa Rica or dance carnival in Brazil, and choosing to stay and run a public company through a crashing stock is where he finds his power. Money also made him more impatient and a bit lazier, and more rational because he's no longer deciding from fear. 12. The random Wednesday. Resilience starts with accepting the storm will come, because we assume that if yesterday was easy tomorrow will be too, and reality doesn't move in gentle slopes. "The worst thing that happens is probably some random thing on some random Wednesday. It's not something you get a lot of warning for." His anchor, borrowed from Babylon 5, is that you get there when you get there and the weapons you have are the weapons you have, so the only real question is whether you're doing the best you can with what you control.show more

I would like to explain the latest batch of... viral videos I'm working on to the bemused brainrot-curious reader who is not familiar with "the culture". Why are these characters, mixed with this song, going viral? It's all about connecting infinite referential mirrors. What makes this video interesting are not its individual parts but the signifier links it draws. Let's look at the individual parts: ONE: The song is a Brazilian funk or "pancadão" song called MC Lan e MC WM - Sua Amiga Vou Pegar, these days part of what's broadly referred as Brazilian phonk or just phonk (not to be confused with the original phonk, a Memphis-derived genre from the early 2010s built around chopped Three 6 Mafia samples, cowbells and lo-fi tape hiss and etc. The Brazilian version comes an entirely different lineage and got its name adapted from “funk” to “phonk” exclusively because the names sounded similar. It has a similarly menacing posture but swaps the rap cadence for funk's 4/4 with kicks on 1 and 3 rhythm and a much heavier, distorted 808 synth sound). Phonk is often used for its exaggerated reverb feeling bass lines to signify power, style or simply "aura", which you can take as a shorthand for poise, coolness, being de-bon-air and a general detached positive feeling of high status. Aura. Because most users cannot understand the Portuguese lyrics (which are often quite vulgar and sexual), the singing takes the characteristic of a chant, something to be appreciated entirely for its sound, texture and gravitas. The vocals are just another instrument where you can appreciate the menace and swagger of the delivery directly without the cognitive friction of meaning. Non-Portuguese-speaking audiences are not missing anything they were supposed to get, they get “the vibe” that matters, which is not lyrical. These songs are often paired with (male) characters that are taken to display these traits like American Psycho's Patrick Bateman (yes, yes I know that’s the opposite of what you should feel about the character), Peaky Blinder's Thomas Shelby and a menagerie of anime characters like Satoru Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen), Yujiro Hanma (Baki) and Goku and, really, any male character that is just a little bit cool. TWO: The man in the suit is a minor Family Guy character called Tom Tucker. The reference comes from a scene where Meg sees him walking through her school and says "It's Tom Tucker from the news!” We then cut to her POV, where he is walking in slow motion with soft romantic music swelling and birds chirping, the whole love-at-first-sight trope. Then a camera crew member off-screen yells "hurry up Mr. Tucker," and we get to see he is not walking in slow motion because Meg is infatuated, he is just walking that slowly in real life. Only the music and the birds were in her head. The gag is built on the viewer recognizing the romantic-slow-motion trope, briefly accepting it as the scene's reality, and then being shown that we (and Meg) projected the trope onto what is actually just a man walking very slowly. HA! The original gag is already about projection: a neutral image (slow walk) being assigned an external meaning (romance) by a viewer's pattern-recognition. This is what makes the edit-culture appropriation work so well. The clip got stripped of its context, paired with phonk and text overlays (AURA or “Me and the boys going to detention”), and retroactively assigned a new meaning, only this time it’s the cinematic nonchalant walk, the slow deliberate gait that signifies a man who knows he's the most important thing in the frame (ta la any 1980s Schwazerneggerian action movie hero walking away from an explosion without looking back, every yakuza boss entering a room, every western gunslinger approaching the duel). The edit is ostensibly projecting a trope onto a neutral image. The first projection was romance; the second projection is aura. Family Guy clips and gifs are easy to access and repost, which makes it a readily available and easy to use building block. The show has, through sheer volume of output and over two decades of YouTube and cable TV saturation, become a kind of public-domain visual library, a default vocabulary that any editor can pull from knowing the audience will recognize the source without having to be told, and we can just keep loading meaning onto it. THREE: The character in the background is Tom, from Tom and Jerry, doing a pose made famous by an iShowSpeed fan who encountered him during a livestream. By quickly and correctly identifying Speed by his full legal name ("Darren Jason Watkins Jr"), she showcased herself to be a true fan, which he responded to with his characteristic exaggerated reactions. The pose the girl hit, with the knowing look to the camera, produced a perfect “aura moment” complete commitment, zero irony, the unshakeable conviction that what she was doing was the coolest possible thing to do. As a result, the clip then got endlessly edited with "aura 🥶🥶🥶" captions to canonize it. Aura, in this lexicon, is not granted by the universe; it is summoned by the person's own belief that they have it and by displaying the correct attitude. Tom is also dressed as the previously mentioned Thomas Shelby from Peaky Blinders, which is itself a double signifier. The name match (“Thomas”, get it?) and the suit-and-flat-cap costume turn the cartoon cat into a stand-in for the perhaps most used "high-aura" male character of the past decade, the brooding gangster patriarch whose every cigarette drag has been set to phonk, cinematic scores and electronic music a thousand times over. On top of that, he is made entirely out of chrome, a popular trope of asking ChatGPT (one of the few AI tools people have easy and broad access to) to render things out of very high quality materials to indicate "rarity" or "status" like diamonds, platinum and etc. A sign that itself descends from a longer lineage of in-game cosmetic rarity tiers (League of Legends, MMOs, various skin economy freemium game, the Fortnite battle pass, the Pokémon shiny, dacha games and etc) where material finish is the visual shorthand of value. So "chrome" or "platinum" Tom on top of all previous signifiers signals a “maximized” or “maxxd” version. The image is suppose to invoke the superlative highest possible tier, rarest-drop, legendary-rarity version of aura, the way a kid in a playground would describe their dad as not just strong but the strongest in the world. FOUR: Finally, the background black hole calls back to the original Tom image, where he is surrounded by the universe itself, having ascended. The character has transcended the diegetic frame of his own cartoon and now exists at a cosmological scale, with the black hole standing in for the kind of unmotivated, vibes-based "cosmic" imagery that has become the default background for any video trying to signify that something Big is happening (the same visual motif that has powered comic book characters, anime transformations, video game power ups and anything wants to feel grandiose or “epic” without specifying what about). The black hole means significance in the abstract. At this point I think you understand the mechanism at play here. None of these references resolve to a stable meaning on their own. Tom Tucker is “cool” only in the very short context in which his image served as a substrate; he was convenient footage to pair with a song, and the absurdity of doing an "aura edit" on such a minor, strange character scene makes it all funnier and easier to share. Tom-the-cat is doing the aura pose > the aura pose comes from the iShowSpeed girl > the iShowSpeed girl was cool because she correctly played her part in an established bit of a large streamer with the correct timing and theatrical flair > the bit was cool because it was a shared convention unified by a popular central streamer figure > the convention existed because phonk edits had already trained this exact scenario to be read as confidence-plus-detachment as aura > the chrome finish points to AI image generation quirks > the AI image generation style can be mapped to gaming visual rarity shorthands; the gaming rarity tiers point to a much older logic of precious-metal-as-status. Each step on the referential chain is propped by the one behind it, and the one behind it is propped up by the one behind that, so on and so forth. There is no natural endpoint, the entire structure functions more akin to a network than a linked list. If you stop at any single point and ask "but why is particular signifier cool or funny or interesting”, the answer is always "because of the thing behind it.” It’s hyper-citation, Here, what matters is the structure of the whole rather than the content. This is structure is what I mean by infinite referential mirrors. The rate at which a concept is referencing, remixing and calling back to another is what’s interesting. In other words, It’s the velocity that matters. The chain of recognitions, each "I get that reference," and the cumulative effect of getting six references stacked on top of each other a short span of time gives you the feeling that you are participating in something dense and alive, because it allows you to recognize the shared meme ecosystem of the platform that you are participating in, even if only a glimpse of it. You are inside the culture rather than outside it. The brainrot-curious reader who watches this video and feels nothing, has “failed” to understand the joke because they are outside the hall of mirrors I am describing. You can only get the magic if you step in and start counting the reflections: the song, the suit, the cat, the chrome, the black hole, the transitions the video uses. You are looking at connected parts of this network of symbols and at the speed at which one image hands you off to the next. The entire thirteen-second clip is functioning as a single compressed referential payload that decompresses in the viewer's head into a small private essay exactly like this one. The video allows you to recognize yourself as someone capable of decoding it, and that recognition is the reward. That’s why media like this goes viral.show more

Tried Minimax H3 on DomoAI official Prompt Here’s a... production-ready prompt rewritten for **the girl in your image**, with a **different graphic language** and **different typography**. Her look stays locked to the picture. Structure stays 13 cuts / 16:9 / 24fps. --- **PROMPT** Create an explosive, motion-graphics-driven character reveal trailer in 16:9, exactly 13 distinct cuts, 24fps, total 15.00s. CHARACTER (lock this design; never redesign): Anime streetwear girl from the reference still. Twin high buns of vivid mint-teal hair with long flowing tails and warm orange/gold streaks. Messy side-swept bangs. Large orange over-ear headphones with mint accents and a small logo plate. Sharp amber-orange eyes, one eye winking. Playful open-mouth grin. Oversized color-block windbreaker: navy body, vivid orange sleeves, white ribbed cuffs, silver zippers, circular teal tech buttons, a teal utility pocket on the sleeve. Orange cropped turtleneck under the open jacket. Light-wash ripped denim shorts, thick orange belt with a silver buckle. Navy thigh-high socks with orange ribbed cuffs and an orange X stitch on the left shin. Chunky white sneakers with orange details. Preserve exact face, proportions, hairstyle, outfit, materials, accessories and colors in every frame. This film is 80% bold graphic design in motion and 20% character action. Graphic language is **retro OS chrome + music-player UI**, not ice/frost/barcode-lock. Use slamming window frames, title bars, close/minimize widgets, equalizer bars, waveforms, progress ticks, folder tiles, cursor arrows, CRT scanlines, pixel shatter, vinyl-ring stamps, music-note particles, media-player transport icons. Palette: mint teal, vivid orange, navy, cream-white, silver. Style: premium AAA motion-graphics title sequence × streetwear campaign film × Windows-era media player. Every graphic element moves fast and snaps hard on the beat. CUT 01 | 0.00–1.00s — Pure graphics: a mint title-bar slams onto a cream field, an orange CLOSE widget punches the corner, two navy window borders wipe in. Tiny equalizer ticks and a progress strip flicker. The letters **P** then **LAY** punch in one after another with heavy impact shake. CUT 02 | 1.00–2.00s — The **A** becomes a headphone cup: extreme close-up of her amber eye inside the orange earcup, glancing up; RGB split flash, then the cup shatters into flat mint/orange tiles. CUT 03 | 2.00–3.10s — Navy frame with enormous cream **PLAY**. She sprints in from frame left and power-slides across the baseline of the type, speed lines and orange streaks trailing, shards of the letters kicked up like sparks. Whip-pan out. CUT 04 | 3.10–4.00s — A giant retro media-player waveform explodes across the frame as a thick mint-and-orange audio spectrum bends into a tunnel. She bursts through the center of the waveform at full speed, briefly breaking into three stroboscopic motion trails behind her. Each trail leaves behind chunky navy equalizer blocks that rise and collapse to the beat. The camera rapidly pushes through the waveform tunnel with her, while huge vertical text **TRACK 01** scrolls continuously in the background. The waveform suddenly compresses into a single horizontal line and snaps shut behind her on the final beat. CUT 05 | 4.00–5.10s — She leaps through a giant rotating ring of typography reading **MAX VOLUME**. Camera tracks her mid-air spin in slow motion as the letters scatter, then snap-zoom on her wink. CUT 06 | 5.10–6.00s — Hard cut: cream editorial card, huge navy **DROP** with an orange slash. She vaults over the word itself, palm planted on the D, legs whipping across frame; the word compresses like a spring under her hand and rebounds. CUT 07 | 6.00–7.00s — Mint field with a navy diagonal window-bar. She back-flips along the bar in three stroboscopic ghost frames, each ghost tinted mint, orange, or navy. Giant outlined text **LOOP** rotates 180 degrees in sync with her rotation. CUT 08 | 7.00–8.00s — Kinetic type barrage: the words **LOUD / WILD / TEAL / HEAT** slam in one per beat with shutter flashes and camera shake, while she slides on her knees across the foreground, jacket flaring, music-note particles bursting from her sneakers. CUT 09 | 8.00–9.00s — Navy frame, giant cream wireframe window-grid tilting in 3D. She runs up the grid like a wall, kicks off, and hangs in the air as everything freezes. An orange circular stamp locks around her pose like a media-player target, with transport icons and EQ ticks. CUT 10 | 9.00–10.10s — Freeze releases into a burst: she dives toward camera through layered flat-color window panes that shatter one by one like glass shutters, each pane revealing a bigger letter of **P-L-A-Y**. Foreground wipe with her sneaker. CUT 11 | 10.10–11.10s — Rapid-fire poster montage: four full-screen graphic posters of her in different action poses (mid-flip, sliding, landing, headphones-up wink) snap past with hard cuts. Each has a different bold layout, oversized numbers **01–04**, equalizer strips and slashes. CUT 12 | 11.10–13.00s — Hero moment on a clean cream cyclorama: she lands a final backflip dead center in slow motion, straightens with one hand on her headphones, and a shockwave of concentric mint rings, wind streaks and shattered typography blasts outward from her landing. Brief iconic freeze on her wink, overexpose to white. CUT 13 | 13.00–15.00s — Final identity card: enormous navy **PLAY** dominates a pale cream field with translucent mint rings, technical arcs, scanlines, and a rough orange circular emblem containing a ghosted headphone / waveform motif. She stands relaxed overlapping the letters, wind rippling her jacket. One last orange pulse sweeps through the typography and a window-chrome flash punctuates the end. Editing: extremely aggressive rhythm — hard cuts on every beat, graphic matches, whip pans, snap zooms, stroboscopic freezes, foreground wipes, RGB splits, shutter flashes, impact shakes and speed ramps. Every cut must feel compositionally different. Typography is always fully readable before the character overlaps it. No weapons, no combat, no fire. All energy comes from motion design, wind, glass, UI chrome and her parkour-style athleticism. BGM: hard-hitting electronic / drum-heavy future bass with aggressive drops, risers, sub hits and glitch fills locked to every cut. Sneaker impacts, whooshes, glass shatters, window-slam hits and typography slams are rhythmic sound-design elements. Peak at CUT 12 and end with a cold electronic logo stinger. Premium AAA quality, anime-inspired cinematic rendering, stylish and explosive, strong graphic-design identity, consistent character design, exactly 13 cuts. #DomoAI #DomoAICPPshow more

In 2025, demand for blockchain applications with genuine real-world... utility has collided with a technical barrier that leaves developers questioning what they can realistically build. Anyone building things like tokenized assets, supply chains, AI agents, or prediction markets still juggle a mess of middleware, and somehow end up spending more time stitching than innovating. How so? Every: - Bridges to move assets, - oracles to fetch data, - indexers to make that data searchable, - relayers and bots to keep everything on schedule— is necessary, but each layer also adds cost, latency, and new risks. The end result is an application that’s expensive to run, fragile under stress, and slower than the Web2 software it’s trying to replace. This is the problem Rialo says it wants to solve. Built by Subzero Labs and backed by $20 million from investors like Pantera Capital and Coinbase Ventures 🛡️, Rialo’s pitch is simple: instead of accepting the middleware tower as an unavoidable cost of doing business, compress it into the base chain itself. But Rialo doesn’t describe itself as another Layer 1, its very name, Rialo Isn’t a Layer One, makes that clear. The team frames it instead as a unified real-world network: a protocol rebuilt from the ground up with the assumption that external connectivity is not an afterthought but a core design principle. To understand what this means, consider how today’s dApps are typically assembled. A typical RWA dApp stack involves: - Oracle providers (Chainlink, Pyth, Band) for asset pricing and event settlement - Bridges (Wormhole, Multichain, custodians) for cross-chain asset movement - Indexers (The Graph, Aleph, Stacks API) for querying and preprocessing chain data - Schedulers/relayers for automated tasks and monitoring - Web2 integrations via cloud services, centralized APIs, and off-chain pipelines Each of these steps adds another vendor, another trust boundary, and another operational layer to monitor. By the time the application is live, it resembles a patchwork of loosely coupled services, each carrying its own risks. You don’t have to look far for proof: - Base went dark for 29-43 minutes in August 2025 when its sequencer misfired, freezing every DeFi app on it. - A few months earlier, an AWS outage rippled through Binance and KuCoin, stalling withdrawals because even “decentralized” systems leaned on centralized middleware. - When Infura has faltered, Ethereum dApps have gone offline in sync, not because Ethereum broke, but because the middleware holding it together did. What should feel like building an application instead feels like maintaining a fragile machine. Rialo architecture embeds the primitives that normally live in middleware directly into the protocol. Smart contracts on Rialo can: - be event-driven, able to respond not just to blockchain state changes but also to external events through built-in webhook and API triggers. - fetch data from the web natively, without relying on external oracles or relayers. - include privacy and identity management—KYC hooks and two-factor authentication, at the protocol level rather than as add-ons. - handle cross-chain communication without wrapped assets or third-party bridges. - run on a virtual machine that is compatible with ecosystems like Solana but extended with RISC-V to support modern programming concepts such as async/await and event loops. If these features work as intended, the implications are significant. Today, much of a team’s energy goes into building and maintaining infrastructure: fullnodes, indexers, monitoring scripts, oracle integrations, relayer logic, bridge infrastructure. Each requires engineering headcount and ongoing maintenance. With Rialo, much of this is absorbed by the protocol, freeing developers to concentrate on business logic. Projects can deliver production-grade dApps with smaller, leaner groups focused directly on product design and execution. Operational costs also shrink: indexing and oracle services can run into thousands of dollars a month; collapsing those into built-in functions reduces recurring expenses while simplifying onboarding for new developers. But folding middleware into the chain doesn’t erase complexity, it reshapes it. Some of the problems to be encountered include: - Scale and complexity: Rialo’s validators won’t just be securing transactions; they’ll also be securing APIs, cross-chain data, and scheduled triggers. Any failure in one subsystem could ripple across the entire network. - Performance vs. decentralization: Richer indexing, scheduling, and data ingress could make nodes heavier to run, narrowing who can realistically participate as a validator. That risks reducing the decentralization blockchains depend on for resilience. - Governance pressures: Disputes or failures involving real-world data feeds, external APIs, or cross-chain actions will arise more often, requiring not just technical fixes but robust social infrastructure, clear rules for voting, transparent arbitration, and mechanisms for community trust. Without them, Rialo risks re-centralizing decision-making around a handful of operators. Where, then, does this model make the most sense? That would be in sectors where external connectivity is indispensable and middleware bloat has consistently been a blocker: - Real-world assets: settling tokenized securities or commodities against off-chain events. - Supply chains: triggering a payment the moment a shipment clears customs, without relying on a third-party oracle. - Agent systems: AI agents interacting with real-world APIs and on-chain contracts simultaneously. - Real-time markets: prediction markets or insurance contracts that must resolve immediately against external data. For purely on-chain domains like DeFi primitives or NFTs, where composability matters more than external triggers, the advantages may be less pronounced. This shift is familiar to anyone who remembers the rise of Web2 platform services. Just as Heroku and Firebase abstracted away server maintenance so developers could focus on building products, Rialo is betting that a unified real-world network can let blockchain developers do the same. Adoption will ultimately depend on: - whether its protocol primitives mature quickly, - whether the ecosystem builds out SDKs and tooling that make them usable, - whether compliance features can adapt to changing regulations, - and whether governance proves resilient under adversarial conditions. The first applications will be the test case. If they show that Rialo can replace a fragile patchwork of middleware with a secure, auditable, and cost-effective base layer, it could set a new standard for real-world connectivity in blockchains. If not, it risks simply moving complexity from one part of the stack to another. But at a minimum, Rialo has forced the question: should real-world connectivity in blockchains continue to depend on layers of external vendors, or should it be built into the chain itself? That’s the question Rialo has put on the table — and it’s why I got interested in Rialo .show more

This is not about politicians and arguing about Democrats... and Republicans. When you see a politician flat out lying, pushing all the things most of America hates and always going against President Trump and constantly attacking him, they are not opposing policies. They are not arguing what they think are common sense polices as a rebuttal against him. These government officials can’t do anything else besides attack Trump. They have no policies. They are controlled. They hate America. They hate Humanity. Paid off. Blackmailed. AIPAC and Arab Lobby All influenced by GLOBALIST AGENDAS They sold out. They betrayed their county. Many are lifetime criminals. They cannot change their minds. The cannot improve, flex or bend. They had to stay seated at the State Of The Union. The had no choice. Many have handlers. Many have dirty secrets. Most are liars and thieves. Their allegiance lies to who pays them or who holds the videos of them doing the unthinkable. Our most sacred and important positions, in the world’s greatest country, have become a theater of evil. Secret handshakes. Side deals. Arrogance. Ego. The damage they caused. The deaths they caused. The manipulation. The lies. The selfishness. The greed. The Treason. The Sedition. Making laws that directly affect us all. The danger they put us in. For all of these years. Eroding our sovereignty, one law at a time. They made a mockery of America. No class. No character. No values. No morals. It’s almost all of them. So when you see their military tribunals, do not wonder why. Top to bottom positions in states as well. We will see them. We will know exactly what they did. We have to in order to heal as a nation. We still have so much more to get through but we are definitely in the final phase. It’s going to be the BEST July 4th we have ever had. 🇺🇸🙏 ON WE GO IN FAITH. ✝️ On we go with understanding.

We have released Seedance 2.0. Due to the 2500-character... limit, please translate the following prompts into Chinese before use. [Technical Specs] Generate a 10-second, 16:9, 720p cinematic video. Smooth continuous camera motion with no cuts. The overall pacing is fast and tightly compressed, with rapid escalation from start to finish. Audio evolves quickly from a high-performance engine idle into intricate mechanical shifting and clicks, culminating in a soft electronic chime and the distinct sound of a "mwah" blowing kiss. [Global Constraints] Only the evolving mechanical character appears; no other humans or characters. All transformations must follow physical logic and maintain structural continuity. No object should pass through or intersect with other solid objects. Every robotic component must originate from visible parts of the Porsche 911 (doors, hood, wheels, chassis) through unfolding, splitting, or reconfiguration. [Scene Setup — 0:00–0:01] A sleek, metallic silver Porsche 911 sits on a rain-slicked futuristic city street at night, neon lights reflecting off its polished surface. The camera starts at a low-angle front-quarter view and begins a fast, smooth tracking-arc towards the side. [Rapid Transformation Initiation — 0:01–0:03] Transformation triggers instantly. The car’s suspension drops, and the frame begins to fracture into a complex grid of panels. The doors swing open and begin to segment into articulated arm structures. The front hood splits down the center, folding inward to reveal a glowing internal core. The headlights flicker and start to reorient as the "eyes." [Accelerated Feminine Reconfiguration — 0:03–0:07] The mechanical action is dense, overlapping, and fluid, emphasizing graceful but powerful motion. Lower Body: The rear wheels and wheel arches split and rotate downward, reassembling into slender, high-heeled mechanical legs. Torso: The roof and rear engine cover slide and compress, forming a sleek, curvaceous hourglass torso that retains the car’s aerodynamic lines. Arms & Hands: The side mirrors and door panels unfold into delicate but strong hands and fingers. Head: The front bumper and emblem area segment and rise, folding into a feminine-shaped head with a sleek metallic "helmet" visor. [Logical Transformation Constraints — No Spontaneous Appearance] The robot’s "skin" is composed of the car's outer silver panels. The internal frame and wiring emerge from the engine and undercarriage. No parts appear out of thin air; every joint is a reconfigured automotive component. [Transformation Completion — 0:07–0:08.5] The robot stands tall and elegant. The silver panels lock into place with a satisfying "click," revealing glowing blue LED accents in the seams. The silhouette is clearly feminine, humanoid, and sophisticated, reflecting the premium design of the original vehicle. [Final Hero Ending — 0:08.5–0:10] As the robot stabilizes, the camera performs a rapid, smooth zoom-in (Dolly-In) directly to her face. The robot tilts its head slightly, and the optic sensors (eyes) brighten. It brings its mechanical hand to its metallic lips and performs a graceful blowing kiss (fly-kiss) gesture toward the camera. The video ends with a close-up of the face, capturing the reflection of neon lights in its visor just as the kiss is released. [Cinematography Notes] Continuous Motion: No cuts or fades; the camera must transition from the car-tracking shot to the face-zoom seamlessly. Material Consistency: The robot must maintain the exact metallic silver paint, texture, and reflections of the Porsche. Energy: The transformation should feel high-energy and "force-driven," while the final gesture is soft and charismatic.show more

Yesterday at Brown University ICERM's workshop on “Agentic Scientific... Computing and Scientific Machine Learning” I spoke about “Adaptive Swarms Across Scales”, making the case for scientific AI as systems that can create representations, stress them, fracture them, and enlarge the category in which future representations live. The category here is a composable and breakable working universe of science: data, hypotheses, simulations, measurements, tools, failures, figures, papers, provenance, and the transformations that connect them. Discovery happens when those transformations become executable, inspectable, composable, and capable of changing the world model they operate within. Atomistic modeling gives one category - states, forces, trajectories, observables, boundary conditions, conservation laws. Neural surrogates learn fast morphisms inside or between such categories. But discovery is higher-order: it changes which objects and morphisms are available in the first place: what variables exist, what operations are allowed, what evidence counts, what scale is active, what invariant is being preserved, and what kind of explanation the system is even capable of forming. This is scientific method as adaptive architecture: compression, stress, fracture, recomposition. Fracture matters here because it makes the logic physical: a non-commuting diagram realized in matter. The imposed load, material hierarchy, defect field, and assumed continuum description no longer map cleanly into the observed outcome. The crack is the obstruction and it identifies where the old morphism failed and where a new representation must be introduced. The physical crack and the categorical obstruction are the same event viewed in different substrates. ScienceClaw × Infinite is a machine for constructing and transforming a category of scientific artifacts. Each artifact is typed. Each operation has lineage. Each failed branch remains in the category as reusable structure. The “paper” is no longer the terminal object of science; it is one projection of a larger compositional trace, and it can be generated at any time for consumption by a human or an AI. With that the unit of scientific labor is changing. For most of the twentieth century the unit was the result (a measurement, a theorem, a synthesized molecule). It is now becoming the algorithm that produces results, and after that, the substrate of discovery itself. The static PDF is the wrong terminal object for this regime, and the role of the scientist with it. We now design algorithms that build algorithms, and eventually substrates in which such algorithms compose themselves. At that point, the scientist is no longer outside the discovery system. The scientist becomes one of the representations the system can transform. In that sense, the systems will eventually do science to us, and that is the structural consequence of the principle they are built on.show more

Fast food deserves fast production too. This KFC-style commercial... was built with Nano Banana 2 + Seedance on Creatify AI Prompt: [16:9 Cinematic Aspect Ratio | 15 Seconds | Ultra-Realistic, High-Production Ad Film] IMPORTANT CHARACTER CONSISTENCY NOTE: Only ONE single consistent character appears throughout the entire video the same uploaded reference woman in every single frame, from 0s to 15s. Do not duplicate her, do not generate a second version of her, and do not let her face, body proportions, or identity shift or morph at any point. Her facial features, face shape, skin tone, and eye color must remain exactly identical in every frame. WARDROBE & CONTINUITY LOCK: She wears a mustard-yellow knotted crop top, high-waisted denim jeans, and a light beige apron tied around her waist, sleeves slightly rolled up, hair tied in a loose bun with a few loose strands. The apron stays tied on for the entire video it must NOT disappear, change position, untie, or reappear differently in any shot. Her hairstyle, clothing, and accessories must remain 100% consistent from the first frame to the last, with no sudden changes in outfit, hair, or styling between cuts. NO GLITCH / NO ANOMALY RULE: The video must have zero visual glitches, no flickering artifacts on her body or face, no extra limbs, no duplicated objects, no morphing hands, no random object teleportation, and no unnatural warping during transitions. All elements must stay spatially consistent and appear/disappear only through natural, intentional actions never abruptly or without cause. VOICE & DELIVERY NOTE: She speaks in a natural British (Received Pronunciation / soft London) accent throughout. Her voice should carry real emotional texture not flat or robotic with natural breath, subtle vocal fry when tired, and a genuine laugh, not a scripted one. Pitch and volume should rise and fall based on her emotional state in each moment: 0–3s line ("I still have so much left to do..."): Low volume, low pitch, tired sigh-like tone, trailing off slightly at the end sounds drained and flat, almost muttered to herself. 3–5s line ("Okay, one bite won't hurt."): Slightly hushed, playful, a small guilty smile in her voice, pitch lifts a touch on "won't hurt" like she's convincing herself. 5–7s (no dialogue): Only a sharp, involuntary inhale/gasp sound as she bites breathy, high-pitched micro reaction, almost startled. 7–11s line ("Wait... did that seriously just happen?"): Voice rises in pitch and pace, breathless with disbelief, volume increasing toward the end of the sentence, genuine excitement creeping in. 11–15s line ("This isn't just chicken. This is cheat-day magic."): Confident, warm, higher energy and volume than any previous line, a light laugh embedded before she speaks, ending on an upbeat, slightly playful high note for "magic" full smile audible in the voice. PRODUCT NOTE (Bucket Appearance): The KFC packaging is a medium-sized cylindrical paper bucket, wider at the top than the base. It is white with two bold vertical red stripes on opposite sides. Centered on the front is the classic black-line illustration of Colonel Sanders' face bald head, glasses, thick mustache, and beard with a black bow tie beneath it, and the word "KFC" printed in bold black uppercase letters below the illustration. The bucket has a slightly textured, matte paper-cup finish with a rolled/folded rim at the top edge. It is filled generously with golden-brown, deep-fried crispy chicken pieces piled slightly above the rim, with visible crispy, ridged breading texture and light steam rising from it. This exact bucket design, color, size, and branding must remain identical and consistent in every single shot throughout the video. 0–3s: A bright, airy kitchen on a sunny morning white marble countertops, open wooden shelves stacked with jars, a large window above the sink letting in soft natural light, and fresh vegetables scattered across a cutting board. The young woman stands at the counter, visibly tired, chopping vegetables slowly for a salad, occasionally pausing to rub her wrist, surrounded by unwashed dishes, a grocery list stuck to the fridge, and a timer ticking on the oven for something else she's cooking. She mutters under her breath (per voice note above), "I still have so much left to do..." 3–5s: A knock at the door she wipes her hands on her apron (apron remains tied throughout), walks over, and returns holding the KFC bucket exactly as described above, light steam rising from the freshly delivered chicken. She sets it on the counter beside her half-made salad, lifts a golden, crispy fried chicken leg piece toward the camera. She grins and says softly (per voice note above), "Okay, one bite won't hurt." 5–7s: Extreme macro slow-motion shot as she bites into the crispy skin the crunch detonates with deep, cinematic intensity. The impact sends a burst of energy through the kitchen: the curtains above the sink billow outward, the vegetable peels and grocery list flutter into the air, the oven light flickers, and golden light particles swirl around her. Her hair sways loose from its bun in the sudden gust as time seems to hold still for a beat. Her outfit and apron remain exactly as before. Only her sharp inhale/gasp sound (per voice note above) no spoken dialogue. 7–11s: The energy settles into a vibrant, glowing atmosphere. The kitchen comes alive on its own vegetables chop themselves into neat piles, the salad bowl assembles itself, the oven timer stops with a satisfying ding as the dish inside finishes perfectly, and dishes stack themselves clean in the rack. She watches, stunned, and says (per voice note above), "Wait... did that seriously just happen?" Bold animated text sweeps across the bottom third of the frame: "Kitchen: Sorted." She remains the same single character in the same outfit throughout. 11–15s: She laughs, looks at the chicken leg piece in disbelief, then confidently raises the same KFC bucket toward the camera. The camera pushes in with bright, glossy cinematic lighting as she smiles wide and says (per voice note above), "This isn't just chicken. This is cheat-day magic." The scene ends on the same KFC bucket glowing in warm sunlight, with the logo appearing top-center and the tagline sliding in from the side: "KFC One Crunch. Zero Effort."show more

As we prepare to launch several projects, we're eager... to provide a general update to our community. We are steadily approaching our end goal, thanks to the daily progress we're making toward our vision. Achieving our objectives will bring about a significant transformation in cross-chain interoperability and the flow of liquidity within protocols. This will address crucial challenges and drive mass adoption. Our future-focused approach and effective team collaboration keep us moving forward in an organized manner. Let’s delve deeper into the state of development of our current products and upcoming projects. Tao Bridge Starting with the Tao Bridge, which enables the #Bittensor community to unlock DeFi opportunities with their $TAO via a highly efficient blockchain like #MultiversX, known for its security, speed, and affordability. We deeply admire #Bittensor and believe a project like that is crucial for the future of not just the crypto space but also humanity, as it addresses the major challenges AI faces today: centralization, siloed and isolated work, which pose risks and hinder the technology's potential. We are committed to the vision of subnets and dynamic $TAO, convinced that this ecosystem is as groundbreaking as #Ethereum or #Bitcoin. We will continue to support #Bittensor wherever possible, and our bridge will also expand to other chains with Hatom V2. The TAO Bridge, deployed on and accessible through will launch on the Mainnet in 14 days, on March 27th. You can follow the countdown on the lending page at Given that our main priorities are security and stability, this period will be primarily focused on quality assurance to ensure a flawless Mainnet launch. The launch will also introduce TAO Liquid Staking at along with the integration of both $wTAO and $swTAO on the lending page. This allows #Bittensor users to leverage liquid stake, employ short or long strategies, among other DeFi strategies, or simply access stablecoin liquidity while maintaining exposure to their $TAO. Up to $1M will be distributed as additional incentives on top of the supply APYs at the launch of the $wTAO and $swTAO money markets, with $200K allocated for the first month specifically for bootstrapping. Initially, 70% of rewards will go to liquidity providers, and 30% to those using $HTM to boost their lending positions. This changes to a 50-50 split in the second month, and by the third month, all incentives are directed through the Booster. This approach encourages early participation and sustained engagement with $HTM. Introducing $TAO to #MultiversX will result in the creation of Liquidity Pools (LPs) on both AshSwap 🔥 and xExchange ⚡. These LPs will be incentivized by both entities, and Hatom will distribute extra rewards at launch. The goal is to make #MultiversX a one-stop hub for $TAO holders. Upon stabilizing the volumes, there will also be plans to integrate it on AshPerp 🔥. Furthermore, with the release of $USH, users will have the ability to mint it while retaining exposure to their $TAO. The TAO Bridge and TAO Liquid Staking smart contracts have been audited by Runtime Vеrification and @arda_project, while penetration testing and DevSecOps have been performed on our infrastructure by CertiK.

With Booster V2, the system now considers the overall position, eliminating the need for manual rebalancing. Gas Fee Reduction: Booster V2 implements optimizations that result in reduced gas fees, making transactions more cost-effective for users. Incorporation of Governance: Users staking $HTM tokens gain voting rights directly within the Booster, allowing them to participate in governance decisions while maintaining their staked positions. (Note: Only $HTM tokens are considered for governance; LP tokens are not included.) Enhanced Boosting Mechanism: The Booster V2 enables LP Tokens to boost positions within the Booster, leveraging trading fees from swaps and farm incentives while boosting lending positions. Smart Contract Completion: The Booster smart contract has been completed and audited by @arda_project, ensuring security and reliability. Frontend Implementation: The frontend design for Booster V2 has been successfully implemented, providing users with an intuitive interface. Collaboration with xExchange: Exploration is ongoing for collaboration with xExchange ⚡ to enable LP creation, farming, and meta-staking within the Booster. Upon finalization of testing, we will launch the Booster V2 on the devnet to gather community feedback and begin preparations for the mainnet release. Soul Before delving into Soul Labs's developments, it's essential to summarize its core functionality briefly: Soul Labs seamlessly connects different lending protocols and blockchains, facilitating lending and borrowing across platforms like Aave, Compound Labs, and Hatom Labs, consolidating liquidity and users' borrowing capabilities. Utilizing LayerZero Labs and other messaging layers for cross-chain communication, Soul Labs bypasses asset bridging or synthetics, unlocking novel DeFi strategies and solidifying its position as the ultimate solution for cross-lending dilemmas. Soul V1 will be permissionless, holding censorship-resistant features, incorporating multiple redundancy mechanisms, and providing support for various DApps. We're thrilled to announce that, following the launch of the Tao Bridge in 2-3 weeks, we will introduce the Soul Labs website. This platform has been meticulously crafted over 250 days to not only provide a comprehensive overview of our vision but also to offer an engaging and captivating experience that promises to be memorable. Regarding the app, significant progress has been made on the V1 protocol, including: Smart Contract Development and Testing: • Completion of the initial phase of smart contract development. • Conducting advanced testing to ensure the system's robustness. • Establishment of a fully functional proof of concept. Successful deployment and testing on the #Goerli (#Ethereum Testnet) and #Mumbai (#Polygon Testnet), leveraging LayerZero Labs for seamless operation. Feature Enhancement and Protocol Optimization: • Enhanced testing procedures to bolster system resilience. • Integration of advanced features and significant code refactoring for optimization. • Incorporation of various communication methods, including LayerZero Labs, Formerly Axelar, now at @axelar, Chainlink CCIP), and wormholecrypto, into Soul Labs framework, enhancing its resilience and flexibility. This allows Soul Labs to maintain operation through alternative protocols if the primary one is temporarily paused. Website Development and Documentation: • Nearing the completion of the v1 app, with final touches being applied. • The preparation of comprehensive V1 documentation and the Yellow Paper, available upon Soul Labs's public launch, offering detailed insights into the platform's infrastructure and capabilities. USH Recognizing the critical need for stable liquidity within the ecosystem, we have positioned ourselves at the forefront of providing a solution by introducing $USH, the first native, decentralized, and over-collateralized stablecoin on #MultiversX. As market conditions have improved, we have observed a growing demand for stablecoins in the ecosystem, evidenced by the utilization rate in the Lending Protocol spiking to over 90% several times in recent months. Therefore, our goal is to tackle the current challenges faced by users by creating a robust product that will not only help them hedge against market volatility but also open up better opportunities to trade the markets and generate yield. We're happy to unveil the $USH website, now live with a sleek and intuitive user interface, designed for ease of use, which ensures that interacting with the protocol is straightforward and accessible for all. You can access it now through this link: For the technical side, we’re advancing steadily and we’ve accomplished the following milestones: Lending Protocol Facilitator: • Coded the first version to support multiple discount factors for different collaterals. • Implemented tracking of borrowing effectiveness to enable earnings forecasting for the module and support minting processes. Isolated Pools Facilitator: • Coded the first version of Isolated Pools Facilitator. • Use of $EGLD or $sEGLD as collateral, with positions stored always in $EGLD to benefit the protocol through Liquid Staking and lending interest. • Virtual account implementation for converting $sEGLD earnings into $USH, functioning like liquidation where users deposit $USH for a higher amount of $HsELGD. Staking Module • Coded the first version of the Staking Module that allows users to stake and unstake without any restrictions. We're currently focusing our efforts on the following tasks: • Implementation of HTM Booster in the discount model in the Lending Protocol. • Implementation of different depeg strategies and brainstorming further potential “soft” depeg mechanisms. • Research and implementation of rewards model for Staking Module. • Research and implementation of Boosted Vaults Facilitator. • Review and stress-test the first version of the code. Upon launch, $USH will be integrated into various protocols and AMMs across the ecosystem, further increasing both its utility and liquidity. The opportunities will be vast, enabling users to engage in a wide range of activities such as yield farming, staking, and arbitrage, all while leveraging a stable and reliable asset.
