💥Gavin Wood: in my mind Easticl scaling can be a significant factor in unlocking Polkadot’s tokenomics. Right now, each of the ~45 parachains gets 1 core, demand = supply = price trends toward zero. But that’s about to flip. Chains like Mythical Games, peaq, and Unique Network are ready...

@playmythical @peaq I would be interested in seeing some modeling of how much $DOT this would actually burn at current rollup tx levels

@playmythical @peaq Elastic scaling is the unlock Polkadot's been waiting for. Once parachains can pay for multiple cores, DOT shifts from sunk cost to active utility. Demand gets real. Tokenomics get dynamic. And the value loop finally closes.

@playmythical @peaq Elastic Scaling is an economic unlock. Real demand for real utility. Polkadot finally getting a demand-driven flywheel.

@playmythical @peaq Elastic scaling isn't just about throughput - it's about efficiency. When parachains can dynamically share cores based on demand, we move from fixed allocation to market-driven resource optimization. That's real scaling.

@web3kasper @playmythical @peaq Elastic scaling could definitely reshape tokenomics. It's all about optimizing resource allocation efficiently.

How will Polkadot unlock the DOT tokenomics by creating more demand for the DOT token? With the next evolution of Polkadot parachains - multi-core elastic scaling. Here is what it enables: Make your chain run faster, do more transactions and just pay for the extra cores (in DOT) when you need them! Gavin Wood says that multi-core elastic scaling will unlock DOT tokenomics by increasing the DOT demand from parachains that want to pay more for better performance Currently, the main issue is that there are only 45 parachains, and only one core per parachain. "But there are chains out that would love to pay more money - more DOT - and have more cores to make their chain run faster. We know this because we are talking to them"

Polkadot ran a major stress test, Spammening, in December 2024 to prove its infra can handle extreme txn loads in a live environment with real economic stakes. The result was 143K TPS, using just 23% of the network’s capacity. But the elephant in the room—does anyone outside of Polkadot even care. TPS is a tricky metric, especially today. Polkadot is a heterogeneous sharded blockchain and was used to be referred as layer 0. Essentially designed to orchestrate multiple chains in parallel, not maximize base layer txns. Therefore fundamentally it isn’t built for single-chain TPS races, but for very high throughput across multiple chains. So Polkadot’s TPS doesn’t compare neatly to monolithic chains, and that led to it staying out of TPS-focused optics in the past. As a result, it’s often misunderstood or seen as slow by this metric. And today, Polkadot has shifted from a chain-centric approach to a blockspace-centric one. It’s no longer about chains but about blockspace and cores—operating much like your multi-core computer. Aka, a chain can eat multiple cores if it needs more throughput. This is called Elastic scaling. With JAM and Elastic scaling, blocks can actually be split into chunks and validated in parallel, allowing the network’s parallel processing to directly impact single-state throughput. Reminder that this Elastic scaling is already live on Kusama and will be coming to Polkadot next quarter. Now, Justin Bons and @0xBreadguy argue that any sharded system can claim millions of TPS, but that doesn’t mean anything as it doesn’t happen within a single state—not equivalent to atomic composability. So, for this time, I’m tossing it to the gigabrains. Do they have a point, or is there more to consider. Shawn Tabrizi Gavin Wood rphmeier

Something must be done about the cost of rent crisis in America American lives in the Midwest, where prices are supposed to be reasonable He got an eviction notice on his apartment, it’s $1,800 per month He makes minimum wage, it’s only $7.25 an hour… “What is wrong with Wisconsin prices? Why have they all of a sudden surged? The Midwest was supposed to be a place of peace, of stability. You could get a freaking house here for like under $200K, and now prices have gone through the roof. This is absurd. What is going on?” He has to reply on tips to pay his rent, and after bills he has nothing left Let’s look into Midwest rent price data Average 1-bedroom rent: Around $1,300 statewide, but $1,800+ is common in Milwaukee and other larger cities People priced out of California, New York, Illinois and more are moving to the Midwest for “affordability,” increasing demand Places like Milwaukee are now at a 94% occupancy rate, the fact that there are no units available has skyrocketed prices But another big reason… Corporate landlords and private equity have bought up tons of properties We can’t continue like this

🎬 $dTAO Creates The Perfect AI Market EXPLAINED 🌊 Curious about the upcoming Bittensor and $TAO changes? Let's dig into it in this Video. The Core of it 🎯 What Changed: • $TAO emission tied to activity • 7,200 blocks per day • No inflation when demand high • PERFECT BALANCE! Think of it like a smart thermostat: - Too hot? Emissions stop - Too cold? Chain buys - Just right? Natural growth Before, $TAO was emitted at a fixed rate, no matter what. Whether people were staking or not, $TAO was just spilling out. It was kind of like leaving the faucet running all day. Sure, it worked, but it wasn’t efficient or sustainable. Now? It’s different. $TAO emissions are tied to actual demand. Picture a thermostat: If the market’s overheated (lots of $TAO being staked), emissions stop. Why print more $TAO if everyone’s already piling in? If things cool down (not enough $TAO being staked), the chain “buys back” to keep everything balanced. And when it’s just right? The system runs naturally, letting markets do their thing. It’s a self-regulating system. No one’s forcing anything. It’s pure market dynamics Market 🔥 Previous System: - Fixed emissions - Manual controls - Price limitations - ARTIFICIAL LIMITS! New Reality: • Market controls flow • Natural price discovery • Organic growth • PURE ECONOMICS! The old system was like having a boss micro-managing everything kind of like manual controls, price caps, artificial rules. It worked but felt clunky. Now, the market decides: $TAO flows when it’s needed, not when it’s not. Prices? Found naturally, based on real supply and demand. Growth? Pure and organic. This isn’t just a minor upgrade, it’s a complete shift. No more training wheels. This is the economy running on its own. The Number Game 📊 Key Metrics: - 7,200 blocks daily - $1B subnet value(based on year and current prices) - 300 days no inflation - REAL DEMAND! When demand > 7,200 $TAO daily: • Emissions pause • Value increases • Scarcity grows • NATURAL PRESSURE! Here’s how it works, practically speaking: 7,200 blocks/day: That’s how often the chain checks what’s happening. No inflation when more than 7,200 $TAO is staked daily. $1B market cap? That could mean no $TAO emissions for almost a year. Think about it: If demand for $TAO stays high, the system stops flooding the market with new tokens. Instead, it tightens the supply, making $TAO scarcer and more valuable. Less supply = more pressure = higher prices. Growth Engine 🚀 This Creates: 1. Perfect Staking: - Stake more = Less inflation - More value = More growth - More utility = Higher demand 2. Perfect Balance: • Market sets prices • Activity drives value • Growth controls supply This isn’t just about numbers—it’s about balance. dTAO makes everything self-correcting. Too much demand? TAO emissions pause, creating scarcity. Too little demand? The system buys back TAO to stabilize things. It’s like nature. Balance happens automatically, and the system adapts without anyone interfering. The AI Evolution 🧠 For Subnets: - Unlimited growth potential - Natural selection - Value-based competition - PURE INNOVATION! For AI Agents: • Build freely • Compete naturally • Evolve constantly • INFINITE POTENTIAL! Now let’s zoom out. This isn’t just about TAO prices going up or down—it’s about AI evolution: Subnets (specialized networks) can now grow without limits. AI agents (the brains running these networks) compete freely, innovate faster, and constantly improve. It’s survival of the fittest, but in the digital world. The best subnets win, the most useful AI agents thrive, and everyone benefits from the results. No bottlenecks, no gatekeeping, just pure growth. 🎬 Watch Now: YouTube TikTok:

📌 Pi Network & GCV – The Global Consensus Value 1. What is GCV? GCV (Global Consensus Value) is the price level that the global Pi Network community agrees to adopt when exchanging goods and services using Pi. This is not a value dictated by exchanges, but rather a community-driven value built on collective trust and demand. 2. How it differs from free market prices Exchange Price: Fluctuates according to supply and demand, often influenced by speculation. GCV: Stable, designed to protect real users’ value and avoid manipulation by “whales.” If the traditional crypto market is like a turbulent ocean, GCV acts as a safe harbor where transactions are grounded in trust and mutual agreement. 3. Why is GCV important for Pi? Protects labor value: Every Pi mined represents time and effort invested by its user. Builds a stable economic foundation: Makes it easier for businesses and individuals to price products and services. Encourages commercial adoption: Stable pricing motivates merchants to accept Pi without fear of volatility. 4. Real-world application of GCV Many Pi communities around the world (including Vietnam) already use GCV in Pi markets and trading groups. For example: 1 Pi = 314.159 VND (a symbolic number linked to the mathematical π). Some groups use 1 Pi = 100 USD for high-value goods. The key point: this price is community-agreed, not exchange-listed. 5. Challenges & Prospects Challenges: If GCV is set too high compared to market prices, it can create a gap and reduce liquidity. Prospects: Widespread adoption of GCV could make it the “reference price” for Pi commerce, building a trust-based, decentralized economy. 💡 Conclusion: Pi Network is taking a different path from most crypto projects – instead of fully relying on volatile market prices, it trusts in value created by the community. GCV serves as the “compass,” guiding Pi away from excessive fluctuations and towards building an early, stable economy. If the community continues to uphold this consensus and use GCV in real-world transactions, Pi could potentially become the first stable digital currency driven by global consensus.

The value of the work we're doing at Optimum is encapsulated quite well by the phrase "speed is money". In modern markets there are real economic advantages to latency reduction. This is nothing new. Wall Street firms have long been optimizing on latency, primarily through colocation and top of the line hardware. However, when it comes to decentralized systems, expensive hardware and geographic concentration are antithetical to their purpose. Therefore we should optimize decentralized network latency through software, which I'm thrilled about because it's exactly what I've spent the better part of the past 2 decades working on with Random Linear Network Coding. Now let’s talk about networking economics, the relationship between speed and money. First, it's important to note that users will only pay for low latency if it can be consistently guaranteed. Second, you can only make that latency guarantee for a certain number of users. This is a universal law of networking. We can model this relationship on a delay curve, shown below. The delay curve is determined by the utilization rate of the network, meaning how much traffic is flowing through the network divided by the network's throughput. As you approach a level of traffic equal to the available throughput, latency trends infinitely higher. On this delay curve we can impose some utility thresholds. These thresholds are the levels of latency which are important to different groups of users because of how that latency guarantee improves their economic outcomes. Finding the point on the curve where each threshold intersects will tell us what level of traffic we can guarantee that level of latency for. Essentially, there exists a finite supply of speed on a network and the highest utility users of that speed are willing to pay more for it. I like to think of this similarly to expedited shipping options on Amazon. This is why we say speed is money, and why we can create a Latency Marketplace. The only way to increase the supply of speed is to fundamentally increase network throughput. This is what we work on at Optimum by using Random Linear Network Coding. The same relationship between traffic and throughput still applies, but now the delay curve is shifted out further to the right. Now more traffic can be processed at the same latency, or the same traffic can be processed at a lower latency. More speed available to the network. More value unlocked for the network’s users. Crucially, that value is no longer only reserved for those who can afford to sit closest to the machine. Expanding the supply of speed widens who can reach each latency threshold, keeping the network's advantage decentralized rather than concentrated in the hands of a few. When nodes join Optimum and participate, they reap the benefits, but they also add to the capacity. Rather than vying against each other in a zero-sum game, nodes help themselves and others.

As you approach a level of traffic equal to the available throughput, latency trends infinitely higher. On this delay curve we can impose some utility thresholds. These thresholds are the levels of latency which are important to different groups of users because of how that latency guarantee improves their economic outcomes. Finding the point on the curve where each threshold intersects will tell us what level of traffic we can guarantee that level of latency for. Essentially, there exists a finite supply of speed on a network and the highest utility users of that speed are willing to pay more for it. I like to think of this similarly to expedited shipping options on Amazon. This is why we say speed is money, and why we can create a Latency Marketplace. The only way to increase the supply of speed is to fundamentally increase network throughput. This is what we work on at Optimum by using Random Linear Network Coding. The same relationship between traffic and throughput still applies, but now the delay curve is shifted out further to the right. Now more traffic can be processed at the same latency, or the same traffic can be processed at a lower latency. More speed available to the network. More value unlocked for the network’s users. Crucially, that value is no longer only reserved for those who can afford to sit closest to the machine. Expanding the supply of speed widens who can reach each latency threshold, keeping the network's advantage decentralized rather than concentrated in the hands of a few. When nodes join Optimum and participate, they reap the benefits, but they also add to the capacity. Rather than vying against each other in a zero-sum game, nodes help themselves and others.

Those of us focused on this work understand that some officials don’t want us all voting. They want the people who agree with them voting. I mentioned on rolandsmartin that @syritarsteib, @emilewashington, @wcsnowden and I went to St. James Parish to talk with Black folks about their power. It’s not wrong for Black people to want to see our tax dollars working for our communities. When the lack of Black leadership makes that deficit worse, uplifting Black leadership isn’t racist — it’s survival and wisdom. Right now, people from THIS state are trying to dismantle the Voting Rights Act. To act like race isn’t a factor is a lie. If we want a thriving future, we must use our critical mass, and demand real outcomes in return for our support. We pay into a system — and it should pay back into our communities. We are not hopeless or powerless, we are misinformed, uninformed, or disengaged. All of which can be addressed. When people ask what can we do, start talking to people and asking deeper questions to ensure they understand their power.

Mel Stride doesn’t live in the real world. He dodges the first point put to him, that more drilling in the north sea can’t help us this winter or even next - because it could take around five years to get anything new out. Instead he answers a different point - that global markets set the price of our North Sea oil and gas - so making more here can't lower our energy bills. His point about indirect benefits is all well and good, but as above - that’s coming in maybe five years time - if at all. And bear in mind our North Sea has been in decline for 30 years and has just ten years capacity left. It’s 90% depleted already - a new report last weeks says 93% - either way it’s all but gone and we don't set the price of it anyway. It’s a massive distraction from the real job - energy market reform to disconnect us from global oil pricing, which actually sets the price of our green energy too. A mad mechanism that Mel’s party passed legislation for - to enable them to break it - and then failed to follow through on. Oh and his argument that we need to make oil here not buy from abroad, shows he knows nothing - Rosebank, that massive tax payer funded project currently not going ahead, is Norwegian owned and none - NONE, of the oil it might produce would land in Britain. That’s the reality of our North Sea oil and gas. And our total embrace of global commodity markets - which serve only big business interests.

.Dylan Patel lays out how we know the hard upper bound on how much compute can be produced annually by 2030: around 200 GW/year. That’s a crazy number (there’s about 20 GW of AI deployed in the world right now), but it’s nowhere near enough to satisfy Sam/Elon/Dario/Demis’s ambitions. Lots of things in the supply chain can be scaled up over 4 years, including things that other people think are bottlenecks, like datacenter power or fab clean room space. But the thing that’s inflexible over that timeline is the number of EUV tools. Dylan forecasts that production of ASML’s EUV tools will scale from 60 per year now to about 100 per year by the end of the decade - which means something like 700 total machines running in 2030. For a fab to make a GW worth of the Rubin chips that NVIDIA is deploying later this year, it needs to make 55,000 3nm wafers, 6,000 5nm wafers, and 170,000 memory wafers. Each 3nm wafers needs about 20 EUV passes, so about 1.1 million passes per GW. Adding on 5nm and memory, you need two million passes. Each tool can do 75 passes per hour, so with 90% uptime that’s around 600k passes per year - so a single machine can make less than a third of a GW in a year. So in 2030, we have 700 total machines, each making 0.3ish GW a year, which means we can produce 200 GW of compute a year. That’s a lot. But Sam Altman wants a gigawatt a week by the end of the decade. Anthropic and Google will be wanting about the same. And Elon wants to be putting 100 GW in space every year. Any one of these players could maybe get what they need, but not all of them.

Real loss. Real ownership. A foundation for players to build something lasting. Most Web3 games have tried to build charts. EVE Frontier is trying to build a society. A deep dive in partnership with Eve 👇 While others focused on short-term spikes - tokens, NFTs, airdrops. EVE Frontier is doing something different. It’s designing for a world where players can build systems, not just stats. Where the game isn’t extractive, but participatory. Where the goal isn’t daily active users - it’s long-term cultural depth. It’s still early, we know. But the structures they’re putting in place - decay-based economies, programmable contracts, player-led factions is the first real attempt we’ve seen at empowering a player base to build something that lasts. This isn’t a product trying to ride a meta. It’s a sandbox built for people who want to shape it. It isn’t devs stepping back. It’s devs empowering. Most games, especially in Web3, still revolve around a core assumption: Devs build the rails. Players ride them. Maybe profit. Maybe not. EVE Frontier takes a different stance. It’s not about stepping back and letting chaos reign. It’s about giving players systems they can actually own, and rules the developers themselves can’t override. That includes: • Onchain logic that governs decay, movement, and scarcity • Smart contracts powering missions and structures • No admin privileges to undo outcomes or patch over losses These mechanics don’t guarantee a good society, but they create the conditions for one to emerge. Ships decay. And that’s a good thing. One of the smartest, and boldest design decisions in EVE Frontier is this: ships decay unless they’re used or maintained. That might sound like a UX nightmare to the average gamer. But it’s actually one of the most important economic choices in any persistent virtual world. In his Substack essay “Land Value Tax in Online Games”, Lars Doucet breaks down how speculative, permanent assets like land often ruin virtual economies: • Whales hoard early and flip for profit • New players can’t access core systems • UGC drops because participation gets gated • Black markets emerge • And eventually, user growth slows to a crawl The same thing can happen with ships, which are essentially land with engines in EVE. They’re the core unit of value, movement, warfare, and trade. So what’s Frontier’s answer? Decay. Not as a punishment, but as a form of soft taxation. If you’re not using your assets, they degrade. This keeps ships circulating. It creates demand for production. And it ensures that value in the economy flows toward active players, not idle speculators. It also means: • No hoarding meta • Lower barrier to entry for new players • Real incentives to engage, repair, resupply, trade In other words: decay drives motion. Not just in the economy, but in the culture. Frontier isn’t play-to-earn. It’s play-to-matter. Most Web3 games still chase extractive loops. Frontier is one of the few trying to build something that’s sustainable and self-directed. The economy has sinks. The rules are transparent. And most importantly, the world can outlive its creators. Because the goal isn’t to farm tokens. It’s to be part of something that remembers you for how you played, what you built, and who you built with. EVE Frontier isn’t trying to replicate EVE Online. It’s trying to extend its promise into a world where the rules aren’t just mechanical, but enforceable. Where loss is serious. Where systems belong to the players. And where you can’t buy your way to legacy, you have to earn it. It’s early. There’s still a lot to prove. But for the first time in a long time, someone is designing a crypto game where ownership isn’t the reward. It’s the responsibility.

"The fuel everyone thinks is abundant is not." Matthew's letter shows storage capacity grew 7% since 2010 while demand grew 54%, with another 39% coming by 2030. He forecasts an unprecedented gas shortage starting in 2028, and explains why the market won't see it coming: "Natural gas is well supplied today, '26 and '27, and the result is that nobody is investing in gas. EQT is shutting in natural gas right now because they think it'll be more valuable later. The things that we can see real time to figure out if the market is onto this tightness — no one's onto it. It's perpetuating this view that most Americans have, which is there's plenty of natural gas, because for 15 years it's all we've been told. There's a complacency that's developed, and we think that complacency is gonna take us right up to the point where it's too late. Gas has lulled everybody to sleep. In '28, the curve is flat because people believe the gas is abundant. That's despite all these AI compute announcements. We start to draw meaningfully in the middle of '28 on the gas system like we've never drawn before. By 2029, we drop below all known historical storage evidence. Prices have gone to $6 or $8 or $10, but those have been transitory. What we're talking about are structural drivers of demand against a known possible production of gas, and they don't match up. The deficit gets really convex and unbounded."

🚨Prof. Steve Hanke: ‘Oil futures market have got it WRONG, oil prices will SKYROCKET by early August.’ ‘I think basically the markets just got things wrong…the futures market is just not anticipating things correctly because what’s going on with oil is that you have all this oil bottled up and not being delivered. And as a result of that, the demand for oil internationally is greater than the supply that’s coming into the market right now. And that gap between demand and supply is being filled by running inventories down. So inventories of oil are going down, down, and hitting almost rock-bottom levels in some countries. For most countries on average, I think by the end of July or early August we’ll hit very low, critical levels of oil inventories. And when that happens, the price will zoom up again, and you’ll find out that those people who purchased futures contracts for delivery in August, for example, will make out like bandits because they will have purchased the thing for August delivery today at a price that will be lower than I think the price will be in August when they actually have to deliver.’ —Steve Hanke, Professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University, joins us for the SEASON PREMIERE of Going Underground on Saturday Don’t miss it, follow our Rumble channel, link below in the replies👇

She's right and wrong. Yes most women 'settle' and marry the best they can get, which often isn't her first, second or third choice. But the guy she 'settles' for IS in fact the best she can do. Everything trades for fair market value on the sexual marketplace. Women like this are delusional. The pressure IS real. Women are on a timeline, their value does go down after their early 20s because women are beauty and purity objects to men. Men are success objects to women, which is why men peak in their late 30s But everyone lies to women and tells them they can do better, or that they should wait for a better man, as if there is an army of them out there to be found. Top shelf men are rare, but few tell women the truth, and fewer women are worthy of them. I guarantee no married man in history every said "I'm glad my wife fucked 50 guys, and found herself before I married her at 35." Women that want families would be wise to ignore the advice of women like this, and prioritize finding a good man when her value is highest in her early 20s. I'll say it again, nobody hates women more, than other women.

I guarantee no married man in history every said "I'm glad my wife fucked 50 guys, and found herself before I married her at 35." Women that want families would be wise to ignore the advice of women like this, and prioritize finding a good man when her value is highest in her early 20s. I'll say it again, nobody hates women more, than other women.

Marc Andreessen: “I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices.” “We spend a lot of time working with our companies on pricing,” a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen explains. “It’s really this magical art and science that a lot of companies don’t take seriously enough.” Marc continues: “A core principle of pricing is that you don’t want to price by cost if you can avoid it. You want to price by value. Especially when you’re selling to businesses, you want to price as a percentage of the business value you’re creating.” He gives the example of building an AI that can do the job of a programmer, a lawyer, or a radiologist: “Can you price by value and get a percentage of what otherwise would’ve literally been a person? Or equivalently can you price by marginal productivity? If you can take a human doctor and make them much more productive because you give them AI, can you price as a percentage of the productivity uplift?” Marc argues that high prices are under-appreciated by founders: “The naive view on pricing is the lower the pricing, the better it is for the customer. The more sophisticated way of looking at it is that higher prices are often good for the customer because the higher price means the vendor can make the product better, faster. Companies with higher prices and higher margins can actually invest more in R&D and make the product better. Most people who buy things aren’t just looking for the cheapest price. They want something that’s going to work really well.” Marc also emphasizes this point in an interview in Elad Gil’s High Growth Handbook: “What I hear from companies is, ‘Oh, we have an awesome moat, and we’re still going to price our product cheap, because we think that’s somehow going to maximize our business.’ I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices. I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices. First of all, raising prices is a great way to flesh out whether you actually do have a moat. If you do have a moat, the customers will still buy, because they have to. The definition of a moat is the ability to charge more. And so number one, it’s just a good way to flesh out that topic and really expose it to sunlight. And then number two, companies that charge more can better fund both their distribution efforts and their ongoing R&D efforts. Charging more is a key lever to be able to grow. And the companies that charge more therefore tend to grow faster. That’s counterintuitive to a lot of engineers. A lot of engineers think there’s a one-dimensional relationship between price and value. They have this mental model of commerce like they’re selling rice or something. It’s like, “My product is magical and nobody can replicate it, and I need to price it like it’s a commodity.” No, you don’t. In fact, quite the opposite. If you price it high, then you can fund a much more expensive sales and marketing effort, which means you’re much more likely to win the market, which means you’re much more likely to be able afford to do all the R&D and acquisitions you’re going to want to do. And so we always try to snap people into a two-dimensional mindset, where higher prices equals faster growth.” Source: a16z (Jan 2026)

Everyone talks about how Web3 will change the world. But the truth is: if you can’t make it work with the systems that already run the world TODAY, it doesn’t matter. Sometimes it feels like we "own" the Multiversᕽ blockchain. Not because we control it, but because every time we start researching a new module or flow, a new chain upgrade lands at the right moment, unlocking the exact functionality we need to build that idea. At Vero, we believe blockchain should stay invisible to the user. The real magic happens when it works silently in the background, even with old Web2 hardware, the kind that’s still required by law. In Romania, for example, every onsite sale needs a fiscal receipt. No exceptions. At the start of the year, we built a way for each point of sale to issue blockchain-connected fiscal receipts. But that meant one printer per station: expensive, inefficient, hard to scale. Now, after months of working, we’ve fixed that. Multiple POS stations, all connected to Web3, can now print on a single fiscal printer. Each receipt includes a unique station ID, a transaction hash, and is fully compliant with tax regulations. And we didn't stop there. We also built a full merchant module that handles both card and cash payments. VeroPay is now running as a SaaS infrastructure for any merchant, in any industry. With the latest MultiversX chain upgrades, this module is 100% live on mainnet. This is what we focus on at VeroPay: Not building DeFi tools that maybe 1% of Web3 users will ever try, but making sure blockchain works today, with the infrastructure that 99% of businesses already use. Maybe in 5 to 10 years everything will be on-chain, and that future is coming. But until then, the winning move is connecting invisible Web3 to the regulated Web2 systems already in place. That’s where real adoption begins. PS: Next up, we're working on a flow to export reports from explorer directly into major bookkeeping software format 👀

Demand a Federal Investigation into Gavin Newsom “Gavin Newsom just got caught funneling taxpayer money through a maze of non profits and for profit companies, all tied to his wife. Let me walk you through this masterpiece of corruption California allocates $128 billion for education. That money is supposed to go to schools, you know, teachers, classrooms, kids. But instead, massive chunks get rooted to educational support NGOs. Those are non governmental organizations. And one of those NGOs is run by Jennifer Siebel Newsom. That's Gavin Newsom's wife. But wait, it gets better. That NGO then sends money to a for profit company also tied to Jennifer Siebel Newsom. See, here's how it works. - So taxpayer dollars are allocated to schools. - But they get funneled into NGOs like the one that Gavin Newsom's wife is in charge of - And they use the money to pay for high value employee salaries - What gets left over gets funneled into other NGOs to that his wife is also connected to - What gets left over from that gets funneled into for profit businesses that again, are connected to his wife It’s like watching money do gymnastics. And this isn’t speculation—it’s tracked on a chart, clear as day. This is money laundering, this is racketeering, the kind of scam you’d expect from a cartel or the President of Venezuela, not from a governor in the United States of America. And yet the media remains silent, no headlines, no investigations, no outrage. Because Gavin isn’t just some sleazy politician; he’s the left’s golden boy for the 2028 presidential election, their clean-cut tyrant in a tailored suit. Can you imagine if DeSantis or Abbott did this? CNN would be hosting a three-day special, The View would be sobbing live on TV, and subpoenas would be flying left and right. But when it’s Gavin, it’s nothing, and somehow nobody gets arrested. This isn’t fighting for the people or equity; this is theft, plain and simple. Every single Californian got played. And if Democrats cared about corruption, they’d be leading the investigation. But they won’t. So we will”
