“DA layers really differ across three dimensions: performance, programmability, and AI-native design — because on-chain AI can’t operate in a world measured in mere megabytes per second.” Sachi Takahara / 0699.eth catches up with Michael Heinrich (Ø,G), Founder of 0G Labs (Home of Infinite AI), to break down how 0G compares with Celestia, Avail, and EigenDA: why throughput needs to increase by orders of magnitude, how to move beyond the broadcast bottleneck, and why a decentralized storage network is essential for ultra-fast data ingestion and retrieval.

"Most people didn't see the real story of the GME saga. Robinhood had to post billions of dollars if they wanted to keep trading open." For Sei Labs co-founder Jay, an early Robinhood engineer, it exposed a deeper problem — markets were going global and digital, but settlement wasn't. Sei is the infrastructure built to close that gap. Real-time settlement, verifiable execution, scaling toward 200K TPS. Markets Move Faster on Sei.

Out of the Frying Pan, into the Fire A hapless pigeon looking for shelter from the rain meets a farm cat named Banana. Farm cats are used specifically for pest control, so while the following does apply to them, the concentration of domestic cats in cities is a much more destructive issue. It is estimated that domestic cats kill 1.3 billion prey animals every year, which is a modest estimate and a major problem for the natural balance of the ecosystem. Domestic cats are not native to North America (they are native to modern day Iraq Cyprus, and Syria) and are one of, if not the most damaging of any predatory invasive species on the continent. Most will have the benefit of an owner and protected shelter, so they are able to temporarily remove themselves from the food chain while they sleep - which is a huge advantage over everything else in that system. They are also most likely fed at home, so when they attack something it's usually out of instinct and not hunger - which helps along their "kill for fun" reputation.

Things we have seen this year: • PEPE speed running from zero to $1B market cap in like 4 weeks • People betting on hamster racing - related coin went to $30M marketcap over a weekend • A coin called HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu hit $0.2B marketcap - the ticker is BITCOIN • A well known scammer was sent $7M+ of ETH to his personal wallet as a pre sale for a memecoin • A memecoin about a bald founder to 80M marketcap in 24 hrs on a new L2 • An app that barely works has 100k users speculating on CT influencers whilst farming points that may or may not lead to an airdrop of value That's just off the top of my head. "We will never have another mania again." Completely disagree. This all happened in a bear market. I'm personally expecting stupidity and redacted behaviour to be much much bigger this cycle. Young people are completely priced out of traditional assets. There are just too many people out there that know the only way out is to gamble. Their time and labour goes on black. Can’t say it’s a particularly positive development, but it is what is. YOLO capitalism. Play the game accordingly.

President Trump is asked about the possibility of a government shutdown and says what every sane person is thinking. "We have a great economy going. Prices are down. We have virtually no inflation...We're respected by every nation in the world and you know what happened? The Democrats want to shut it down..They want to give billions, ultimately trillions of dollars to illegal migrants." He adds, "They also want to have open borders. They want to have men in women's sports. They want transgender for everybody. These people are crazy. If it has to shut down it will have to shut down. But they're the ones that are shutting down the government."

I get it - volatility makes people nervous. But my job isn’t to panic. My job is to deploy capital. Whether the market is up 700 points or down 700 points, I ask one question: What has actually changed? Most people react emotionally. That’s a mistake. In capital markets, you don’t have that luxury. You have to think strategically - where things are going, not where they are today. I’m not blind to the pain people are feeling. But if you want to win long term, you can’t “freak out.” You have to stay focused, stay disciplined and keep moving forward.

Jensen Huang: “To be CEO is a lifetime of sacrifice” “Most people think that [being CEO] is about leading, being in command, and being on top,” Nvidia founder Jensen Huang begins. “But none of that is true.” Jensen explains: “You’re in service of the company. You’re creating conditions for other people to do their life’s work. You’re inspiring through example. Most of the examples are making difficult decisions during very difficult times. It’s mostly about sacrifice. It’s also about strategy. And strategy is not just about choosing what to do. It’s about choosing what not to do — which is sacrifice.” He continues: “The determination, conviction, pain, and suffering that goes along with overcoming obstacles is all sacrifice. I’m not trying to talk anybody out of the profession — if you are to do it, it’s the greatest honor. But you have to realize that it’s not about fame and glory. It’s mostly about pain and suffering.” Video source: The Cambridge Union (2025)

Pi Network Updates📢 Overview of DAPP – Unlocking the Whys Behind the $314,159 Pi-Coin Valuation! 🎁Pi Network Launched A TON OF APPS | They Worth MILLIONS $💰 Here you go, Pi Network have the Pi Browser adding in a brand new button. It's to be exploring the testnet Pi apps and you could do it all on a single click. Now one of the biggest things about a lot of these crypto projects is they sometimes, not always, come out with these applications, but they're super scattered. Pi Token has 50 million people. They have the Chain Mall, where we could buy stuff in this digital Mall with your Pi Tokens, and guess what? It's actually very popular, a lot of Sellers, and a lot of Buyers, and they just added withdrawals. You got the Workforce, which is kind of like Upwork and Fiverr. And remember. 33 to 50 million Pi users with 10% of those already being fully registered. That is an enormous population that you don't see anywhere else, so you could actually explore a lot of these different testnet Pi apps. The utility is pretty massive; these applications already have a lot of people on them, and just the apps alone are worth a pretty penny. I like Pi because of all of these different applications linked to the coin, and this right here and the users and the really good tight-knit community is what makes this coin great. ✅That's why, Pi Network at a price of $314,159 has nothing that is impossible. "Small steps lead to big results" #PiNetwork

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

🇬🇧 LBC Radio’s James O’Brien on British PM Keir Starmer facing a major leadership crisis following the Labour Party’s disastrous performance in recent local elections: “Starmer was doomed from the start. Unless he tried to return the country to a place where the truth matters. To a place where facts prevail… It is not an affront to your freedom of speech to prevent you from calling for people to be burnt alive in their beds. It is not an affront to your freedom of speech to prevent you from lying through your teeth about other members of this population, or about observable scientific facts, or about what laws are in place in our capital city. These are libels against populations. It is not a restriction of your freedom of speech to punish you for lying, for provoking, for inciting. And Starmer blew it. He absolutely blew it. [And] I’m not puzzled. I know exactly how we ended up here. We are still operating in an ecosystem that has entirely corrupted truth. We are still lionizing people who brought this country to its knees. We are still promoting — whether it’s to the editorship of the Spectator or the House of Lords — people who are proven failures and proven liars. Why? Because they are complicit in the protection of wealth. And the way that you persuade people who haven’t got any wealth that they should be on that team as well is by fermenting the intoxication of racism, of misogyny, of homophobia. Give them someone to hate. Give them someone. And what did Starmer do? He joined in. What did [Home Minister] Shabana Mahmood do? She joined in. Didn’t make a stand against the two-minute hate that Orwell so presciently predicted. They didn’t make a stand against it. They joined in. Because the ecosystem in which a country can lose itself in the way that this country has done in the last ten years persists. It’s still in place. And what is the point of being prime minister if you’re not going to try to return your country to reality?” — Despite growing pressure from within his party, Starmer for now is publicly insisting he will not resign, and intends to "get on with governing."

"L2s were a failed experiment. App chains were a failed experiment outside of Hyperliquid." Logan Jastremski reveals why he hasn't thought about Ethereum since 2021: "L2s never made sense. A transaction is just bytes. An L2 compresses 5 bytes to 1 byte. If you want compression, why apply it to a low-throughput chain instead of a high-throughput one?" "Ethereum is mostly an artifact of people making money in the early days. From an institutional and product use case standpoint, it's largely dead. The most overvalued asset in the world."
