Do You Know Why Stellar Was Chosen By DTCC? Many reasons… but “Soroban” smart contracts made stellar 100x more powerful and most people still don’t get it. Imagine Stellar was already the fastest, cheapest way to send money anywhere. Now picture this: Soroban is Stellar’s new “smart contract” superpower. • Soroban smart contracts is like giving Stellar a super-smart brain written in Rust (a pro language) that turns into WebAssembly (super efficient code). It runs programs on the blockchain that can: • Automatically handle money (like lending, trading, or creating tokens) • Finish in 3-5 seconds • Cost basically nothing (~$0.00001 per transaction) • Handle tons of stuff at the same time without clogging up No gas fees drama. No waiting hours. Just smooth, real-world usable magic. Soroban turns Stellar from “great for payments” into a full DeFi beast that can scale to billions of people. This is just the beginning. Utility season is incoming🔥

"As you realized, there was no money lost. And this is by design." Kostas Chalkias (Kostas Kryptos) is co-founder and Chief Cryptographer of Mysten Labs, the team behind Sui. When the network halted, he was in the war room. This is his breakdown of what actually happened. "The ideal option is to halt, compared to just losing money if something else happens." We cover: — Why halting the network was a deliberate design choice, not a failure — What was really going on behind the scenes while crypto Twitter panicked — The global war room: 50+ people across Europe and the US working through the night — Why a decentralized network recovers differently than one company flipping a switch — "Move fast and break things", why the Facebook motto is exactly wrong for money — Why Kostas believes most other blockchains wouldn't have recovered in days — Where the line sits between an honest edge case and a broken system — What the outage proved about how Sui is actually built Thanks to Kostas for coming on New Era Finance Podcast. Highlights: 00:00 — Intro 00:43 — What Happened During The Outage 03:45 — Why Halting Was The Right Call 05:30 — Inside The War Room 08:00 — Why Decentralized Recovery Takes Longer 11:00 — The Lessons That Made Sui Stronger 14:30 — Why AI Agents Are The Real Users Of Crypto 19:00 — Free Stablecoin Payments vs Bank Fees 23:00 — Own And Monetize Your Own Data 27:00 — Why A Fast Layer-1 Changes Everything

Wait — the bank froze your life savings? Debanking exposed... Imagine waking up one day to find your bank account frozen. No warning. No explanation. No recourse. This is not a thought experiment. It’s a real situation. And it’s happened not just to crypto companies and their founders, but to ordinary people who are just trying to live their lives. That includes our guest today, who learned firsthand what it means to be “debanked.” In this episode, we talk about the unseen algorithms that monitor people’s accounts, the ramifications of the Bank Secrecy Act, and how crypto and decentralized finance may offer a much-needed check — and safety net — against the opaque systems of traditional finance. Full episode: Timestamps: (0:00) Introduction (2:03) The Problem of Debanking (5:58) Debanking: A Personal Story (7:33) Understanding the Bank Secrecy Act (11:53) The Information Vacuum (16:55) The Impact on Crypto Companies (20:07) Addressing Skeptics (22:07) Banks: Good vs. Bad (27:35) The Scariest Moment (36:17) “Operation Chokepoint 2.0” (38:08) History of the Bank Secrecy Act (44:04) Security Theater (45:31) What Would You Change?

🎙️1/ I enjoyed speaking with 0xkaiserkarel.union from Union where we discussed the current state of blockchain infrastructure and the pain developers go through to build cross-chain apps and how Union aims to solve those exact problems. Enjoy. Summary Karel Kubat, CEO of Union, lays out a bold vision for a decentralized coordination layer that can unlock true interoperability in crypto. He breaks down why bridging is still broken, why ZK is more than hype, and why Bitcoin needs to be more than digital gold. From security risks to UX gaps to regulatory pressure, this conversation covers the hard problems and how Union is solving them. Takeaways – Union is building a decentralized coordination layer to connect ecosystems without sacrificing sovereignty – Interoperability is not a feature, it’s the future, especially for assets like Bitcoin – ZK tech offers powerful efficiency and trust guarantees for cross-chain operations – Union’s mainnet beta is focused on bootstrapping use cases in the Bitcoin ecosystem – Bitcoin in DeFi isn’t optional, it’s the next unlock for serious liquidity – Real-world asset (RWA) integration is a priority for Union’s long-term roadmap – Bridge security remains a major attack surface and demands a new approach – UX in cross-chain bridging is still painful, Union wants to fix that – Go-to-market strategy targets underserved, long-tail assets and app developers – Regulatory shifts will shape product and protocol design going forward Chapters (00:00) Introduction to Union and Its Vision (02:43) The Importance of Interoperability in Blockchain (05:30) Union’s Unique Approach to ZK Technology (08:15) Building Bridges: Union’s Role in the Bitcoin Ecosystem (10:58) Unlocking Bitcoin’s Potential in DeFi (13:40) Real-World Asset Integration and Future Plans (16:33) Security and Trust in Blockchain Bridges (19:24) User Experience and the Future of Bridging (22:07) Union’s Go-to-Market Strategy and Community Engagement (24:42) The Role of Regulation in Union’s Future (27:27) Conclusion and Future Outlook (33:18) The role of Super Apps like Infinex that Abstracts Bridging and other painful processes

The accounting services industry has historically been 1) underserved by technology and 2) constrained by capacity, not demand. Founders Arush Jain, Pranav Pillai, and Vinay Kasat saw this as an opportunity. They brought together their backgrounds in private equity M&A, forward-deployed software engineering, and growth operations. In doing so, they created Modus to partner with auditors ready for the next generation of firms that have the right to grow. Through co-creating and tightly iterating on powerful, scalable workflows with frontline auditors, Modus freed up tens of thousands of hours in their first platform partner that they have already sold into. The co-founders joined Justin M.

The accounting services industry has historically been 1) underserved by technology and 2) constrained by capacity, not demand. Founders Arush Jain, Pranav Pillai, and Vinay Kasat saw this as an opportunity. They brought together their backgrounds in private equity M&A, forward-deployed software engineering, and growth operations. In doing so, they created Modus to partner with auditors ready for the next generation of firms that have the right to grow. Through co-creating and tightly iterating on powerful, scalable workflows with frontline auditors, Modus freed up tens of thousands of hours in their first platform partner that they have already sold into. The co-founders joined Justin M. Overdorff and Amish Desai this week on The Investment Memo, where they go into more detail about our partnership, their vision for innovating in the industry, and how their past career experiences prepared them for this journey. 0:00 Welcome, Arush Jain, Vinay Kasat, & Pranav Pillai! 2:40 Why Audit Is a Massive Opportunity 3:17 The Core Problem Auditors Face Today 4:10 The “Audit in 2 Weeks” Vision 5:04 Proving the Model Works Without an Audit Background 5:53 Why Audit Software Has Failed Before 6:25 Reinventing Audits from the Ground Up 7:25 Inside 7 AI Workflows & 40% Time Savings 9:03 Palantir’s Influence on Their Strategy 10:00 Embedding Engineers Inside Audit Firms 11:12 Turning Time Savings into Growth 12:25 Improving Audit Quality with AI 14:01 Where Audit Errors Actually Happen 16:24 The First Acquisition Journey 17:50 Early Results: Growth & Efficiency Gains 19:05 The “This Works” Moment 20:18 From Friends to Co-Founders 22:34 Hiring in the Age of AI 24:08 Advisors Behind Modus 25:41 Choosing the Right Investors 26:55 The Future of AI in Audit 28:03 What Excites the Founders Most 28:48 Advice for Founders
