$BNB turns 9 today! On July 14, 2017, $BNB launched as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. It started out as a utility token for a young exchange, and nine years later it sits at the center of one of the most active onchain ecosystems in crypto. Here’s a quick breakdown of that journey: 2017 - Launched on Ethereum at $0.15 with a 200M total supply 2019 - Migrated to its own chain and became a native asset for the first time 2020 - Binance Smart Chain went live, bringing EVM smart contracts and making $BNB the gas of a fast-growing dApp ecosystem 2021 - The DeFi and GameFi boom put the chain at the center of onchain activity, and $BNB reached $690 2022 - Binance Smart Chain became BNB Chain, and BNB took on a new meaning: Build N Build 2023 - The stack expanded with opBNB for scale and BNB Greenfield for storage 2024 - Beacon Chain fusion brought staking, governance, and everything else onto one chain 2025 - Pascal, Lorentz, and Maxwell cut block times from 3s to 0.75s, DEX volume set records, and $BNB hit a new all-time high of $1,370 2026 (so far) · Blocks now land in 450ms with 650ms finality, roughly double the throughput the chain had in January Along the way, over 65M of the original 200M $BNB supply has been burned, on the road to a final supply of 100M. The H2 2026 roadmap keeps the focus where it has been all year: doubling mainnet throughput again, and building a next-generation L1 designed for 100K+ TPS with transactions confirmed in under 50ms. Nine years in, and $BNB has never been faster to use, cheaper to move, or scarcer to hold. Happy birthday, $BNB.

A summary of my fireside chat with vitalik.eth at the Home Staking Summit in Singapore last week if you weren't able to attend. *Disclaimer: This also includes some of my prior understanding and interpretation. Part 1 of 3: The importance of solo stakers Solo stakers serve as both the first and last line of defence for the Ethereum network. First line = Providing censorship resistance. Last line = Quorum-blocking set by preventing 67% finalisation of the wrong chain As a censorship resistant set, solo stakers are typically uncorrelated and unaligned with any organisations, making them a difficult target for regulatory capture or coercion. What this means is that, certain organisations can try to impose censorship on Ethereum but will likely only go as far as delaying these transactions. Full censorship will be extremely difficult because solo stakers exist on Ethereum (amongst other mechanisms). IMO this is a huge part on why ETH is the credibly neutral block space that serious money wants to settle on!😎 As a quorum-blocking set: Ethereum's social layer can organise a recovery from a 51% capture where the chain splits in 2 but finalising the wrong thing (i.e., 67% capture) will be very bad as the blockchain's past & future can be changed without direct slashing risks. One way to prevent finalisation capture is to increase the quorum threshold - e.g., from 67% to 75% or even 85%. At 85%, current numbers of identified solo stakers + unidentified stakers from hildobby 's dashboard will be sufficient. But on the other hand, will this decrease the cost of attack to prevent finalisation? - e.g., from >33% to just >15% of staked ETH? Not necessarily, as there are cheaper backdoor ways to mount this attack even today. Eg. Bribing core devs or key employees of large node operators, or even outrightly buying out the large node operators Hence, the 33% of staked ETH here represents the highest cost of attack to hold the chain hostage. If so, then we are currently overpaying to prevent >33% front door attack today, which means there is room to decrease the budget in favour of better security against ">66%" attacks. The analogy Vitalik uses is that if we imagine a house with 10cm thick bulletproof glass as windows but has a crappy wooden door, then we should reallocate resources to strengthening the weakest link. The other more ambitious but realistic method is to increase the number of solo stakers such that we become the quorum-blocking set of the current finalisation threshold. How do we achieve this? Stay tuned for Parts 2 and 3 for my discussion with Vitalik on Orbit SSF and Rainbow Staking!

A new week is here, but what makes it more fun is the amount of information you hop in on early enough. Here are some projects I’ve got my eyes on; 1) Brevis comes in first with verifiable computing solving issues of re-executing orders on the blockchain. Recently, team introduced the new pico prism; a state of the art zkVM for faster Ethereum proving in seconds. 2) Modular layer chains for better integration of RWAs are also not left out with integra. as the XP gathering has begun. Everything about integra stays under the carpet, but they are making big moves for RWAs on chain. 3) ⁠Cysic; the future of computefi has also been quiet lately. After the buzz around the cubes minted, I expected an update from them soonest. 4) Momentum finance has been the buzz all over CT the last few days after announcing the community round on Buidlpad Ⓜ️Ⓜ️T coming soon. A recent title deed nomination wave swept across MomentumⓂ️Ⓜ️T community members to reward those that have been supportive all along. 5) AI development and innovation are also not left out as Michael Heinrich (Ø,G) spearheads the entire 0G Labs (Home of Infinite AI) ecosystem to finality. It’s crazy enough if you think the second round of airdrop was all from the 0G team, they keep shipping new products daily. Only believe in them. 6) On the track to integrating AGIs, Sentient isn’t left out as well, as they’re recently on one of the biggest stages; NeurIPS Conference. The recent update showed that 4 of their papers were accepted across various categories. Screams bullish to be IMO. 7) In all of the TGEs and allocation announcements this year, Everlyn ranks one of the worst. They eventually came up with an option to refund subscription users (Who ever thought that was a good idea?😶). They need to realize that as a web2 company coming into web3, you need to understand the lingual here before engaging. These are basically the major updates on them all, but I’ll definitely add to them as I find more. Stay woke ANON.

🚨 THE BIGGEST BOTTLENECK IN AI ISN'T COMPUTING POWER ANYMORE IT'S MOVING DATA. Instead of laying new cables, Chinese researchers have upgraded existing fiber infrastructure by doing two things at once: Using three wavelength bands (C + L + S) instead of the usual two. Using four cores inside each fiber instead of one. Each core acts like an independent highway, and each band acts like an extra lane on that highway. Together, they’ve reportedly increased transmission capacity per core by nearly 50% and overall data throughput by up to 5×. This matters enormously for AI. Modern AI clusters move terabits of data per second between thousands of GPUs. The biggest bottleneck is often not the chips themselves, but moving data fast enough between them. If you can push 5× more data through the same physical cables, you can train bigger models faster and reduce network congestion. Why this is significant: • It shows multi-core + extended spectrum technology moving from labs into real-world commercial use • The system has already run over 35 km of existing telecom network • It could be especially useful for submarine cables and large-scale data center interconnects • China is also eyeing it for its “Eastern Data, Western Computing” project The deeper implication: We’re reaching the physical limits of how much data we can push through single-core fibers using traditional methods. By combining spatial multiplexing (multiple cores) with spectral multiplexing (more wavelength bands), engineers are finding new ways to keep scaling bandwidth without having to dig up the planet to lay new cables. This kind of breakthrough is quiet but foundational it’s the kind of infrastructure upgrade that will determine how fast AI and cloud computing can actually grow in the coming years. The future of data movement might not require more cables. It might just require smarter ones. How important do you think multi-core and multi-band fiber will be for keeping up with AI’s exploding data demands? Follow for more frontier networking, photonics, and infrastructure technology.

🇬🇧 STARMER BREAKS RULES: TIKTOK BANNED ON GOV’T PHONES, HE POSTS CLIP ANYWAY Starmer just took his first steps into the world of short-form video, launching a TikTok account with a rather cringe-but-charming clip of himself and wife Victoria turning on Downing Street’s Christmas lights. “Follow me,” urges Starmer, stepping out of the iconic black door - a moment that feels equal parts festive and awkwardly viral. Here’s the thing: TikTok remains banned on government devices, over fears about data security and Chinese ownership. That hasn’t stopped Starmer from opening an account or posting content. A No10 source shrugged it off: “We’re finding new ways to share our vision… from TikTok and Substack to traditional media.” The move comes ahead of a planned trip to Beijing in the New Year, as Britain tries to thread the needle between economic engagement and managing strategic competition with China. Starmer is clearly testing new channels to communicate directly with younger audiences - and maybe soften his public image after recent low approval ratings and unconventional media appearances, including a podcast with Towie star Pete Wicks. The optics are messy - a global leader engaging on a platform officially deemed a security risk at home... Expect this to spark a minor storm in Westminster. Many will frame it as symbolic naivety or security risk, while supporters may call it savvy modern outreach. The real test will come during the China trip: will Starmer’s TikTok persona help open doors in Beijing, or will it underscore the contradictions of promoting transparency on a platform flagged for data vulnerabilities? For now, Britain’s PM is playing global diplomacy and domestic image in parallel - TikTok as a launchpad, China as the proving ground. The next few weeks will show whether the stunt lands as clever engagement or a political faux pas. Source: Daily Mail

🚨🔥🇷🇸 SERBIA ON EDGE: NOVI PAZAR BLOCKED 🕌⚠️ PROTEST🔥🚨 Protests erupt in Sandžak as university dispute exposes deep cracks inside the state Novi Pazar was effectively brought to a standstill as students and citizens blocked Stefana Nemanje Street, escalating a conflict surrounding the State University of Novi Pazar into one of the most sensitive internal crises Serbia has faced in recent years. What started as a dispute over university governance and autonomy has now spilled decisively into the streets — and with it, long-suppressed questions of identity, trust, and cohesion inside the Serbian state. ⸻ The immediate cause of the protests lies in disagreements over management, appointments, and oversight at the state-funded university. Students and parts of the academic community argue that increased central control from Belgrade threatens institutional autonomy and weakens local influence over a key public institution. Yet the scale and speed of the mobilization make clear that this is not merely an academic issue. The university has become a symbol — and in Sandžak, symbols rarely remain confined to classrooms. ⸻ To understand why this confrontation resonates so strongly, one must understand the historical weight of Novi Pazar and the Sandžak region. Founded in the 15th century as a major Ottoman administrative and trade center, Novi Pazar developed for centuries outside the political and cultural core of the Serbian medieval and later national state. Sandžak itself takes its name from the Ottoman administrative system, reflecting its long history as a frontier zone between empires, religions, and identities. Unlike most of Serbia, Sandžak retained a strong Muslim — largely Bosniak — population, whose historical memory and social structures were shaped within a different civilizational framework. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and later Yugoslavia, the region became part of Serbia, but the sense of being fully integrated never entirely followed. For many locals, Novi Pazar represents more than geography. It represents continuity, recognition, and the ability to exist within Serbia without being absorbed into a narrative that does not fully reflect them. ⸻ This is why the university matters so deeply. It is one of the few major state institutions in Sandžak where local academics, students, and elites feel genuinely represented. Control over it is not perceived merely as bureaucratic authority, but as influence over the future — who teaches, who decides, and which perspectives are treated as normal rather than peripheral. Crucially, protesters are not claiming that Serbia is pursuing open anti-Muslim policies, nor that the university will become a site of ideological indoctrination. The fear is subtler, but no less powerful: that tighter centralization will gradually normalize a dominant national framework in which Sandžak’s identity becomes secondary, diluted, or reduced to regional color. ⸻ The moment protests moved from the campus to street blockades marked a turning point. Blocking major roads in Novi Pazar is not random disruption; it is a signal that institutional trust has eroded to the point where pressure politics replaces dialogue. When identity, history, and dignity become intertwined with administrative decisions, every move from the center is read symbolically. Silence becomes provocation. Reform becomes suspicion. ⸻ Serbia is not collapsing. There are no calls for secession, no parallel authorities, no territorial challenge. But what is unfolding in Novi Pazar reveals something more uncomfortable: fragile internal cohesion in a state that presents itself as unified and stable. States rarely weaken through sudden rupture. More often, they erode slowly — when regions feel unheard, when institutions lose legitimacy, and when identity becomes the language of protest. Novi Pazar is not an exception. It is a warning.

🏥 NEW: Israel points to broken European Hospital as it prepares to clear Gaza City hospitals Israeli Army Radio and the Times of Israel reported Saturday that the European Hospital in Khan Younis will serve as the replacement for all Gaza City hospitals as the army moves to seize the city — but Gaza’s Health Ministry says the facility is devastated and nowhere near ready to operate. In May this year, the hospital was hit by a heavy Israeli airstrike targeting a tunnel beneath the compound. The attack killed at least 28 people, caused massive damage to the facility (including roads and infrastructure), and led to the evacuation of its remaining patients. The Times of Israel described medical staff cleaning and clearing the compound today, after the IDF finally allowed access, and cited Israeli officials who said the UN and international aid groups are drawing up plans to restart the hospital “as an additional medical response” for the estimated one million Palestinians expected to be forcibly displaced. But Gaza’s Ministry of Health rejected that narrative, saying an initial assessment found massive damage to sewage, water, electricity, and oxygen systems, as well as to buildings and medical equipment. It warned that even if resources were provided immediately, it would take at least two months and $1.3 million just to restart the hospital at a minimal level, and six more months and another $3 million for full operation. The ministry stressed it will not evacuate any hospitals in Gaza governorate and renewed its demand for protection of health facilities and staff. Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director of Gaza’s al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, told Al-Araby TV that if Israel invades Gaza City, “we will face a new massacre,” warning that more than 2,000 patients remain trapped in city hospitals with nowhere safe to go.

🚨 NEWS FROM NASA In a bold and decisive move, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman just announced a $20 billion plan to build America’s permanent base on the Moon — and they’re doing it in just 7 years. Today, NASA officially confirmed it is cancelling plans for the Lunar Gateway — the small space station that was supposed to orbit the Moon as a waypoint for astronauts. Instead, those components and resources will be repurposed directly for the surface base, accelerating humanity’s return to sustained lunar presence. The goal is clear — move beyond short visits and flags-and-footprints missions. NASA wants a real, long-term foothold on the Moon: habitats, power systems, rovers, scientific labs, and infrastructure that can support crews for months at a time. This base will serve as the foundation for deeper space exploration, resource utilization (like mining lunar ice for fuel and water), and eventually — Mars. The $20 billion investment over the next seven years will reshape major parts of the Artemis program. It comes with real urgency too — China is pushing hard toward its own crewed Moon landing by 2030, and the U.S. is determined to lead, not follow. This isn’t just about science. · A permanent lunar base means:Testing technologies for Mars missions in a real off-world environment · Developing in-situ resource utilization (turning Moon dirt into rocket fuel and oxygen) · Opening the door to a true cislunar economy · Inspiring the next generation of engineers, scientists, and explorers Private industry will play a massive role, as always — with contractors already building key hardware now being redirected. This is the kind of ambitious, focused leadership the space program has needed. From the first boots on the Moon in 1969 to building a thriving outpost there by the early 2030s — what an incredible leap forward. Significanly, the Moon isn’t just a destination anymore: it’s becoming home base for humanity’s expansion into the Solar System.
