This work makes a humanoid robot do simple parkour moves by looking with a depth camera and choosing the right move on the fly. The big deal is that it turns lots of small human moves into long, real-time robot behavior, without hand-coding every transition or retraining for each new course. A humanoid robot is usually good at steady walking, but it often fails when it has to do fast moves like jumping up, vaulting, or rolling, and then keep going to the next obstacle. The hard part is that you cannot easily collect training data for every possible obstacle shape, distance, and mistake, so robots end up learning a few moves that only work in a narrow setup. This work starts from short clips of real human parkour moves, like stepping over, vaulting, climbing, and rolling. It uses motion matching, which is basically a smart “pick the next clip that fits best right now” search, to stitch those short clips into a long, smooth plan that looks like a human doing a whole course. Then it trains a controller with reinforcement learning (RL), which means the robot learns by trial and error to copy that plan while staying balanced and not falling. After training separate expert controllers for different moves, it compresses them into 1 controller that uses only onboard depth sensing and a simple “go this fast in this direction” command. In real tests on a Unitree G1 humanoid, it can clear multiple obstacles in a row, adapt when obstacles get moved, and climb a wall up to 1.25m.

How Did Sei Network Carve Out a Niche in the Crowded Layer-1 Market? Sei Network (Sei) originally positioned itself around trading, building infrastructure designed for fast and efficient onchain markets. But the network later expanded that strategy with Sei V2, making a major shift toward a parallelized EVM. (1) Sei V2 introduced optimistic parallel execution, allowing independent transactions to be processed at the same time instead of handling everything sequentially. (2) The upgrade brought Ethereum EVM compatibility, so developers could bring existing Solidity contracts and familiar tools without rewriting their applications. In 2026, Sei went further and became fully EVM-only, retiring its Cosmos and CosmWasm stack under SIP-3. (3) Sei also built SeiDB and its Twin-Turbo architecture to improve state management, block propagation, and transaction finality. (4) The combination gave Sei a distinct pitch: Ethereum compatibility with the speed and throughput associated with high-performance chains. (5) Sei then doubled down on finance, creating a network focused on trading, stable coins, tokenized assets, payments, and other use cases requiring instant settlement. (6) The next major step is completing Sei Giga. Its new execution (Ares) and storage (Eidos) engines went live in August 2026, with Autobahn multi-proposer consensus still to come. The updated whitepaper targets 200,000+ TPS with sub-250ms finality. So Sei's story is not simply about being another fast Layer-1. It is about combining a pure EVM stack with parallel execution and infrastructure designed for high-volume financial applications.

Bot powered by AI turned a deposit into a x4600. $50 → $230K on Polymarket in just two months. Right now, everyone on Polymarket is talking about this bot. And honestly, for a reason. The results it’s showing are way beyond what most people would consider realistic. The bot is fully focused on esports. Mainly League of Legends and Dota 2. And that actually makes sense. Esports are games. Games follow patterns, scenarios, logic. Much easier for a bot and AI to read than messy real-world events. So how does this even work? > The bot constantly monitors live esports broadcasts. > It does it insanely fast. Faster than the Polymarket market itself can react. The moment a kill happens, a team fight breaks out, or any key in-game event occurs, the bot instantly spots a mispricing. Sometimes just a few cents. But it gets there seconds before the market adjusts. That edge is enough. It profits purely from the spread. Yeah, it sounds almost too simple. I wouldn’t have believed it either. Not in real life. Not until I saw the bot’s actual Polymarket account with my own eyes. According to the profile: > I spent a long time thinking about how to make money the same way. For now, I decided to start by copy trading this bot. The key here is speed. You need a service that reacts just as fast. At the moment, Polycule is doing that job for me. I can recommend it. In 14 days, I made $2,800. > Just copy this bot. Exactly like I did. Copy trading is alive. So what do you think. Are Polymarket bots the future, or is this just another short-term hype wave?

🚨 ⚡ Breaking: I’m proud to share that has raised $82 million in Series B funding to build the first truly global #crypto #payments #network – one that makes crypto as easy, seamless, and universal to use as fiat. Most of the investments were closed with PayPal USD (#PYUSD) stablecoin. This round, led by Paradigm (Charlie Noyes & Matt Huang) with participation from Consensys.eth , QuantumLight, Yolo Investments, Evolution VC, Hike Ventures, Opportuna and AltaIR Capital, that brings our total funding to over $120 million. Regulatory clarity is taking shape, institutions are leaning in, and #stablecoins are booming. The industry has gotten everything it could have asked for – and then some. Crypto finally has its shot at mainstream adoption. The industry is ready, the technology is ready and we believe #Payments are the unlock. 💡 What is Mesh and How it solves the crypto payments challenges? Mesh is building the #network that connects #wallets, #exchanges, Payment Service Providers (PSPs), and businesses as one cohesive operating system. Users can pay with any asset they hold – BTC, ETH, SOL – while merchants settle in the hashtag#stablecoin of their choice: PYUSD, RLUSD, USDC. It’s seamless, instant, and works everywhere. Just like it should. It’s the foundational infrastructure for a #borderless, open financial system. A system where payments aren’t confined by geography, banking hours, or asset types. One network that works across #TradFi and #crypto. Our technology already powers payments, deposits, and transfers across 300+ wallets, exchanges, and platforms. We reach over 400 million users in 100+ countries. With this capital, we’re expanding globally to making crypto payments as easy as using a credit card. Thank you to everyone on the Mesh team and all of our investors and advisors for their brilliance, hard work, and inspiration. This milestone would not have been possible without their continued support and trust in our vision. We look forward to entering this next phase of growth together. And we are hiring! DM me to build the future together. #Crypto #Payments #Stablecoins #Fundraise #Mesh

What is the XDC Network? XDC Network (XDC Network) is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 built around payments, trade finance, tokenization, and enterprise blockchain use cases. Put simply, XDC is trying to bring blockchain infrastructure closer to traditional financial markets. The network launched its mainnet in 2019 and uses XinFin Delegated Proof of Stake, known as XDPoS. So, what makes XDC different from other Layer 1 networks? (1) It focuses heavily on financial infrastructure. XDC was designed with global trade and financial applications in mind. That includes trade finance, cross-border payments, real-world asset tokenization, and decentralized finance. Businesses can tokenize assets such as invoices, bonds, commodities, and other financial instruments on the network. (XDC Network Docs) (2) It is compatible with Ethereum. XDC is EVM-compatible, meaning developers can use familiar Ethereum tools and Solidity smart contracts. That makes it easier for existing Ethereum applications to migrate or expand onto XDC. The network also supports token standards such as XRC20, XRC721, and XRC1155. In Jan 2026, XDC did its Cancun hard fork, syncing with Ethereum's own upgrade and bringing EIP-1559 fee burns on-chain. (3) XDC is built for fast and inexpensive transactions. The network targets roughly two-second block times and supports more than 2,000 transactions per second. Transaction costs are also designed to remain extremely low, making high-volume financial activity more practical. That combination is particularly important for applications handling large numbers of transactions. But speed alone is not what XDC is betting on. Its bigger pitch is whether blockchain can become useful infrastructure for financial institutions and global commerce. So, how does XDC secure the network? XDC uses XDPoS 2.0, which combines delegated proof of stake with Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus. Token holders participate by supporting masternode candidates, while elected masternodes help validate transactions and produce blocks. XDPoS 2.0 also uses the HotStuff consensus protocol and adds forensic monitoring for malicious validator activity. The upgrade went live on mainnet in September 2024. It introduced three-block finality, with transactions reaching finality roughly six seconds after block inclusion. Worth noting, financial applications generally need predictable settlement rather than transactions that can remain uncertain for long periods. Then there is another important part of the XDC architecture: Subnets. XDC Subnets allow organizations to operate permissioned blockchain networks while connecting them to the broader XDC ecosystem. Companies can maintain greater control over governance, privacy, and infrastructure without abandoning interoperability with XDC. That structure is particularly relevant for institutions that cannot put sensitive commercial information directly onto a public blockchain. A company could therefore operate a private environment while using XDC Mainnet for checkpointing and broader interoperability. This creates a bridge between private enterprise infrastructure and public blockchain networks. Rather than competing purely for retail users, XDC trying to position itself as financial infrastructure for tokenized assets, trade finance, payments, and institutional markets.
