Monad’s security team ran the same AI model over the same codebase 4 different ways. 26 real bugs between them.
None of the 4 found all of them, and one high-severity bug only showed up in one run. Worth the read, if you use AI for audits. The latest @monad pulse is out on Substack:

When we launched chainSOL, we decided not to charge our commission on top of the pool fee. Holders already pay for liquidity, and charging twice for the same stake didn’t sit right.
So we return it every epoch, on-chain.

Did you know @ChainflowPOS was a genesis operator on Akash?
Quick question for delegators: do you know how your validator voted on the last proposal?
Most people don’t. That’s normal.
But the stake they used was yours.
If their record doesn’t match what you care about, vote yourself or move. 🌞

Sui ran a fire drill on its new address-freeze mechanism last week. The @SuiNetwork team froze an address it controls, checked it worked, and unfroze it. Also, @DeepBookonSui just passed $20B in volume, with 15+ Sui apps trading on the same order book 👇

Our new research moves us closer to letting anyone help secure BTC deposited on Alpen.
We survey permissionless challenging on Bitcoin & introduce polynomial soldering: a more scalable, efficient component for challenging the validity of proofs.

P.S. If you stake with us, you don’t need to do anything. Your stake and rewards carry over as normal.
Alpenglow activates at the start of epoch 1064 this Wednesday 🌞
Sui cut non-refundable storage fees by 99% this week.
Aftermath says quoting now costs 60-70% less in gas. For an onchain order book, that’s the cost of market makers placing and cancelling orders all day.
