🌟 @UNDP’s Blockchain Advisory Group is now officially launched, opening a new structured space with senior leaders from across the blockchain ecosystem. For us, this is part of a longer effort to move the blockchain for development conversation into a more responsible space.

The Optimum team is pleased to announce our first mainnet deployment, mump2p on Ethereum. With mump2p, data moves across all of Ethereum 2-3x faster, boosting validator performance and network health. $3.4B of Ethereum stake is already being boosted by mump2p, and we’re now opening up free access for all Ethereum node operators.

Preparing for what's next in blockchain security. 🔒 Post-quantum cryptography is now being tested on TRON's testnet as the network explores ways to address emerging quantum computing threats. Thanks to @BSCNews for the coverage.

Security is the defining requirement to unlock onchain markets.

Preparing for a post-quantum world The plan for Monad starts with protecting user funds by enabling accounts to upgrade to quantum-resistant authentication without changing their address Check out the full roadmap here: monad.xyz/blog/post-quantum-…

The cryptographic world computer: vitalik.eth.limo/general/202… My attempt to express in somewhat concise terms the true meaning of basically everything planned to happen to Ethereum starting from the fork after Hegota. It's really not just a blockchain anymore. It's a hybrid architecture that combines together blockchains and modern cryptography, to enable much more powerful properties. FOCIL, EIP-8288, Lean consensus, state management, formal verification, advanced mempool improvements (including privacy), and the longer-term specter of obfuscation all mentioned.
