Congratulations! Huge milestone. Any chain not building towards these numbers (or better) will soon see a massive users' and builders' outflow — migrating to those like Near, MultiversX (soon), Sui, Aptos, and Monad. Is the 1.2s finality also true for cross-shard txs?

🚀 NEW EPISODE 🚀 Scaling the Agentic Internet Friederike Ernst 🦉 chats with Bowen Wang, Head of Protocol @ Near One, about blockchain scaling, AI, and how NEAR Protocol sets the ground for AI-native apps & the agentic economy. ‘Attention Is All You Need’, co-wrote by Illia Polosukhin in 2017, laid the foundation for arguably one of the most consequential tech breakthroughs in our recent history. 1 year later, Illia founded Near AI, which later became NEAR Protocol. They were visionaries ahead of their time and, although AI took several more years before becoming a viable product, the experience of scaling databases would later prove valuable and applicable in blockchain world. As a result, NEAR Protocol is one of the first blockchains to implement execution layer sharding, asynchronous execution and stateless validation, bringing the finality time down to 1.2 seconds, with a block time of 0.6 seconds.

Ouroboros "short" Leios Protoyping simulation & visualisation work in progress demonstrated by Duncan Coutts. Full P2P network running Leios Visualisation. You can see 100 different nodes and messages flowing between them all, with representation of Input Blocks (Top left, Endorsement Blocks (20 seconds In these increment), Votes (20 seconds in these increment as the pipeline hits a vote stage) You can see the votes continue to burst at roughly 20 seconds, input blocks also increase, the smoothness of message flows to reduce these bursts is something Duncan details they are working on to improve as-well as resource usage. Input Blocks (IB) - These blocks contain the raw transaction data submitted by users to the blockchain. Endorsement Blocks (EB) - These blocks reference multiple Input Blocks and are used by nodes to validate and vote on the readiness of transactions for inclusion in the blockchain. Votes- Nodes cast votes to achieve consensus on the state of the ledger, enhancing the speed of transaction finality. I believe this is completely off-chain so does not incur transaction costs (Someone keep me honest please) Keep an eye on the diffusion latency chart, as Duncan mentions this is very important, this refers more to time taken for propagation of information across the network I believe. This was an extract from a larger demonstration, really exciting, massive credit to the team working on this. It's going to be extremely impactful to Cardano and I will share as much as I can about it, I really like seeing these visualisations especially during a prototyping stage. What I find interesting is that the visualisation vote count is so much it slows down the browser rendering. Great work! web3innovationnerds & Duncan Coutts what a demonstration that was., keep them coming!

After an incredibly successful week at Token2049, the highlight was undoubtedly presenting our SPIN whitepaper at the Bleeding Edge Summit! While still waiting for the official video, we would like to share a recording from the audience. With SPIN, we're introducing a revolutionary approach to building proof-of-stake blockchains. There is a well-known chicken and egg problem when it comes to launching a new proof-of-stake blockchain. You need high value at stake to achieve economic security, but at the same time, for achieving that, you already need to be secure. With SPIN, you can borrow security from well-established networks such as Polkadot or Ethereum. Unlike a Layer 2, which completely gives up chain sovereignty and frequently sacrifices scalability and throughput to satisfy Layer 1 validation protocols, SPIN maintains full sovereignty of the Fast Chain while still benefiting from the security of the Anchor Chain. Our SPIN protocol addresses this fundamental challenge by enabling a fast, sovereign chain to maintain and grow its economic security with its own validator network, while simultaneously leveraging an established anchor chain to provide a second layer of finality. With SPIN, we take an unlimited set of stakers, reduce it to a limited set of validators who can run very quickly, producing a consecutive sequence of blocks during their staker period. This design allows for blocks with very small block times, as low as 0.1 seconds and beyond. Our full SPIN whitepaper will be released soon.

Cross-chain infrastructure has a vocabulary problem. The word "Atomic" appears in bridge protocols, HTLC swaps and interoperability solutions of every kind. It's being used to describe mechanisms that deliver fundamentally different guarantees, and the industry isn't being precise enough about the difference. > Economic atomicity is what most bridges and cross-chain swaps deliver. The smart contract guarantees an all-or-nothing outcome at the application layer, but both legs still settle on separate chains through separate consensus mechanisms. The guarantee depends on both parties behaving rationally within timelock windows that are measured in hours. When a validator gets compromised, a chain reorgs, an attacker locks counterparty capital and simply waits, the smart contract can't protect against any of it. The window of exposure between two separate settlement events is where the damage happens. > Consensus-level atomicity is what Zenith delivers. Both legs of a transaction are processed within the same single consensus mechanism as one indivisible operation. There is no window and no timelock. The protocol itself guarantees that both legs commit together or neither does, regardless of what either party does or what the infrastructure beneath them does. For consumer applications that distinction is manageable, but for institutional finance moving real capital across chain boundaries, it's the difference between infrastructure you can depend on and infrastructure that works until something goes wrong. The EVM execution adds a few hundred milliseconds to Canton's native finality time, that's the entire overhead. Compared to timelock windows measured in hours, the latency difference alone changes what's possible to build. We wrote the full breakdown about two flavours of atomic that are worth understanding clearly before you build on either: Zth.

For the Sui Overflow 2026 hackathon, I built Talise. A gasless dollar account that sends money by name, settles in under a second, and keeps the amount private on-chain. This is what "money that moves like a message" actually looks like when you build it on the right rails. The core experience is simple by design. Sign in with Google/Apple, get a self-custodial wallet via zkLogin, claim your handle like sele@talise, and start sending. No seed phrase. No gas token. No 0x address to copy and verify. The complexity lives in the infrastructure. The user never sees it. [Kostas Kryptos] Sending is just a name. Type a handle, enter an amount, confirm. It arrives in under a second. Stablecoin transactions on Sui cost nothing, so what you type is exactly what arrives. No spread taken on the send. No fee waiting at the destination. Talise also has a built in privacy feature. The amount is hidden on-chain and the connection between sender and recipient is completely broken. Nobody watching the chain can see what moved or who it moved between. Real privacy, live on Sui mainnet today, not a line on a roadmap. Beyond the core send: claim links let you wrap dollars in a URL and drop it in any chat, no address needed to receive. Payment streaming lets you send a salary or a subscription by the second. Idle balances route automatically to on-chain lending so your dollars are never dead weight between payments. And cash-out to your local bank is live now in Nigeria, with more corridors coming. Every transaction is sponsored through a gas station so users never hold or spend a gas token. zkLogin, sponsored transactions, sub-second finality, and programmable transaction blocks are what made this possible. Sui is the only chain where this experience exists without compromise. Over 1,400 handles claimed on-chain. Every feature shipped and working in the live build. Testflight app: Talise. Money that moves like a message. Sui Community Official sarah 😾

Solana is rewriting its core. Episode 3 of TheCoordinate is about one of the most ambitious protocol upgrades in crypto right now: AlpenGlow, a redesign of Solana 's consensus + data propagation stack. I sat down with Roger Wattenhofer, Kobi and Quentin Kniep from Anza to break down: > what was structurally limited in TowerBFT + PoH? > how AlpenGlow works end-to-end: Rotor (erasure-coded dissemination via relays) + Voter (a dance of fast and slow paths) > why they are optimizing for a 20% Byzantine + 20% crash-fault model? > what changes for validators + RPCs when votes move off-chain (VAT/fee mechanics, different cost structure, and a smaller ledger footprint)? > what 100s-of-ms finality means in practice for MEV, remote validators, and upcoming multi-proposer designs? If you’re building or operating on Solana, this is one of those quiet-but-fundamental stack shifts and you may wanna listen to this episode to learn how this upgrade touches you. This is Episode 3 of TheCoordinate. Hope you enjoy it. ------------------------------------------------ Timestamps: 0:00 Intro: digital intelligence needs digital institutions 0:30 AlpenGlow overview + guests from Anza 1:24 Origin story: from “how to halt Solana” paper to building AlpenGlow 5:24 What was limited in TowerBFT/PoH: equivocation + why Turbine doesn’t fully solve it 7:48 The “20% Byzantine + 20% crash-fault” security model (and why) 10:39 The new stack: Rotor (propagation) + Voter (consensus) replaces PoH/gossip/tower 11:47 Rotor deep dive: blocks → slices → shreds + relays + erasure coding 22:03 Voter deep dive: yes/no voting, certificates, and skipping bad leaders fast 30:16 Fast vs slow path finality: 80% yes vs 2-round completion (and why both can win) 34:51 Validator economics + RPC implications: votes off-chain, VAT/fee, smaller ledger footprint 45:55 RPC/WebSocket implications: first-class participation vs second-hand data 47:21 Replacing “global clock” semantics for apps that relied on PoH time 49:20 Migration planning: testnets, coordination, and switching safely

Here's why $NEAR is a no-brainer in 2025 👇 Everybody loves NEAR Protocol and there is a reason for that (or many). Near is well-positioned to be one of the leading blockchain ecosystems this year. Let’s explore the “whys”. TIMESTAMPS Quick Bio – 00:00:15 Inflation Reduction Proposal – 00:00:43 Technically Speaking – 00:02:40 Near Intents – 00:03:37 Chain Signatures and AI – 00:04:39 Decentralization and DeFi – 00:05:59 I have my Near account since March 2023, but it has been inactive for a while, as I was focused on other stuff. However, the recent inflation halving proposal by HOT DAO (HOT Protocol 🔥) and LiNEAR (LiNEAR Protocol) brought my eyes back to the project and I really like what I’m seeing. So, here’s my first point. If this proposal passes, NEAR could lead the way in what appears to be a market trend of improving the tokenomics, as more and more experts realize holders have been overpaying for these networks' security, with a too high supply inflation. Solana tried something similar, but the proposal was rejected. In my opinion, validators voting favorably to that show a commitment to the chain for the long term. On the other hand, voting against it signals a short-term vision focused on milking the emissions as much as possible, at the ecosystem’s expense. The voting currently goes with 28% “YEA” votes, needing 66.76% to pass. Most of the validators who already cast their votes went with the yes. 2pilot, avb, openshards, qbit, sicmundus, fox, and intear are, so far, the only seven who voted “NAY”. This proposal has the vocal support of most influential figures in the Near ecosystem, including the Near Foundation (NEAR Foundation), led by Illia (root.near) (🇺🇦, ⋈), which makes me believe it will pass and show the power of the halving in getting the market’s attention and presenting a huge investment asymmetry for the native token right now. Is this everything I like about NEAR? Definitely not. This is just what got me looking at it again, just to discover a (very much) thriving ecosystem, full of interesting things happening at the same time. I’ll mention a few, but there is (much) more. Technically speaking, Near is a high-performance blockchain, with really low fees and one of the fastest finalities, with 600ms block time and approximately 1.8s finality. It also has my favorite architecture for internet-scale scalability, using sharding, while keeping a high decentralization standard. As a learning programmer, Near also has one of the best dev experiences (in my limited opinion). The documentation is clear, has a logical journey, presenting from the basic anatomy in details to more complex SDKs and tools. I’m also in love with the near-cli-rs. A command line interface program written in Rust for seamless interaction with the Near blockchain. Allowing wallet creation, chain query, sending transactions, staking, smart contract calls, and more. Near Intents. This was the second thing to get my attention, while studying the project again, and it sets a whole new standard for blockchain interactions, especially cross-chain. Basically, users can declare an intention (for example, swap Ethereum-USDT to Bitcoin) and a network of solvers, running on Near, will find the best path to accomplish this task. We recently saw an impressive 465k-worth swap happening in exactly this example, paying 0.55% of trading fees to thorswap.near and swapkit.near. According to a Dune Dashboard, the protocol accumulates nearly $400 million in volume since its launch not long ago, in November 2024. *obs.: half this volume was achieved in the last month. Massive! Near Intents is possible due to two other very interesting things: (i) Chain abstraction, and (ii) a solid AI infrastructure. Chain abstraction (via Chain Signatures) is a powerful interoperability feature, allowing Near to friendly connect different blockchains as if they were part of a single network. Users and devs benefit from wallet, address, fees, and cross-chain bridges abstractions - not even noticing they are interacting with multiple chains. One wallet that powers everything. Powered by Near. On AI, Near is just built differently. Not for the hype, but for the solution. The team has been looking for AI solutions much before the ChatGPT fever. Actually, they started as an AI company, pivoting to blockchain later. So, being one of the most promising networks for the growing AI economy was just the natural path to follow. There is an extensive and super complete research piece on that topic, recently published by Reflexivity Research (Reflexivity Research) on July 1st. It presents Near as an AI-optimized blockchain, covering AITP, Shade Agents, x402, Near Intents, and more. Definitely worth the reading. Wrapping up this content with one more aspect that really matters to me is how Near remains truthful to decentralization, data ownership, censorship-resistance and open-source primitives that have been increasingly abandoned by other key players. A simple example of that is how the Near Foundation decided to deprecate its public APIs, encouraging the surge of a more decentralized and competitive market of SaaS projects, with a highlight to Lava Network, that recently appeared in my timeline talking about that. DeFi is also huge on Near, leveraging all the previous properties I mentioned, creating a truly decentralized liquidity pool via Rhea Finance, connected with other chains like BTC, Ethereum, ZCash, and more. All that contributes to Near having the second-largest monthly active addresses, with nearly 50 million, only losing to Solana’s nearly 90 million. In the meantime, NEAR, the token, is not even at the 30rd position by market cap. Crazy stuff. To (finally) wrap it up, I also want to mention Near’s consensus decentralization. While having a low node-count, the network has a Nakamoto Coefficient of 11, which is not bad at all. Surely, there is still room for improvement, which is possible as becoming a validator is accessible staking and hardware-wise.
