Implementation, not exploration. That was the message from Zurich this year π
As Presenting Partner of CV Summit 2026, @FranklnTempletn was at the heart of that conversation. Christopher Perkins took the Anchor Stage with a keynote on how regulatory clarity is driving institutional adoption, and why tokenisation is becoming a fiduciary consideration rather than a choice. Emilio Anting then moderated a discussion on the rails, liquidity, and market structure behind the next phase of digital assets.
A huge thank you to the @FranklnTempletn team for returning as our Presenting Partner. Your support, and the institutional depth you brought to every session you were part of, helped make this year's summit one to remember.
We can't wait to welcome you back! π

Even the best agents get tool calls wrong.
What helps them recover?
Our previous study showed why a convincing answer isnβt enough. We took 60 failed runs and tried three recovery methods on them. Hereβs what we learned.

We spent 9 weeks testing agent reliability during software tool use.
Nearly 60% of claims accepted as correct could not be backed by evidence from recorded tool calls.
The answer looked right. The evidence wasn't. π§΅
Replying to @ChronicleLabs
@ChronicleLabs Proof of Asset layer brings continuous verification to loan positions and collateral across our warehouse facility with @grovedotfinance, enabling real-time risk monitoring instead of periodic reporting.

Taking in the views of Cape Town! πΈ πΏπ¦
The @StellarOrg x @CV_Labs Accelerator stepped away from the classroom over the weekend to explore the natural beauty South Africa has to offer.
The CV Labs / CV VC team and the selected cohort climbed Lion's Head for scenic views of Cape Town, saw penguins at Boulder's Beach, visited the stunning wine region of Franschhoek, and ventured to the most south-western point of Africa.
With week two now in full swing, it's back to building the future of finance on Stellar, with workshops focused on navigating the legal landscape, what stablecoins can offer, and how to fundraise in the world of AI.
