Temple has raised $5M to build the first privacy focused technical stack to trade capital markets on @CantonNetwork. Read our full announcement here: templedigitalgroup.com/news/…

I want to start talking about why I founded @monkeytilt . I’ve been a gambler my whole life. I like most trad games (poker, dice, BJ) but I also enjoy risk taking/spec in general via stocks, crypto, venture, RE and collectibles (both phys and dig). Also, for as long as I could afford it (and maybe even a little before), I have been a connoisseur of luxury goods and services. More on all of this later.

🚨 Big news from Gaia Labs! We’ve raised $20M across Seed and Series A to scale decentralized AI infrastructure and we’re launching the first AI-native smartphone designed for user-owned intelligence. Gaia is building the backbone of a decentralized AI economy where inference is verifiable, agents are sovereign, and value flows directly to users, not platforms. This funding accelerates: ⚙️ Expansion of Gaia’s open inference network (700K+ active nodes, 17T inferences) 📱 Launch of the Gaia AI Phone: on-device models, local agents, full data control 🧰 A new open-source toolkit for LLMs, agents, and devs 🌉 Cross-chain infrastructure to power AI across blockchains and data ecosystems We’re grateful to our lead investors ByteTrade/SIG, Mirana/Mantle, and to visionary partners including Outlier Ventures, NGC, Taisu Ventures, Consensys Mesh, and more for believing in this movement. The Gaia AI Phone, built on Galaxy S25 Edge hardware, runs decentralized AI inference locally without cloud dependency or data extraction: your agents controlled by your hardware. If AI is the next computing layer, we’re building the network and the interface. Learn more here: gaianet.ai/blog/gaia-labs-ra…

This milestone is simply for the community and all the backers! Back to building....

A quick update regarding the @sophon node sale It's come to my attention that a lot of folks were weary of the node sale and questioning the technical legitimacy of what we were doing, and thus of the overall project. My fault for not explaining this better in our docs - I highlighted this in my previous post but let's go over things again. The last thing I would want is for folks to feel confused and shy away from what I think is going to be a pretty dope platform. We've been moving super fast and although these things were super obvious to us it's clear we could've done a better job at making it as obvious for our community. What am I really buying when buying a “node”? So far 121'000 nodes have been purchased; obviously that does not mean there will be 121'000 validators on Sophon 🙃 You would be buying an ERC-721 token, which will allow you to: - Earn Sophon tokens 20% of the total token supply will be emitted to node license holders over the first 36 months after Sophon mainnet launches - Participate in the validation of the Sophon network When Sophon launches as an L2 validium rollup using the @zksync codebase, there will be a single centralised sequencer (as is the case in the L2 space currently). Node license holders will be able to delegate their licenses to the node operator and earn their share of network fees. These holders will also be able to participate in the functioning of Sophon, for instance by indexing the chain or by running a light node with the DA layer we use. In the future, if and when the Matter Labs team will decentralise their consensus, node licenses will be required to operate the network - whether in a PoA or PoS setup. So no, Sophon doesn’t need 200k nodes to operate, you don’t need to actively run a node; you can simply delegate and reap the rewards for it. Furthermore, the node licenses that are unsold and unused when the sale ends won't come into circulation and will be burned. Conclusion It's vital for me to make it super clear that Sophon is being built as a community-focused entertainment chain. Early adopters that form the core community are the most important part of any project, and my goal is to provide value to them. The funds raised are not for the runway - we raised $10m from top investors for this. Instead funds will sit in the Sophon Foundation where they will be earmarked for the development of the ecosystem, including through grants and other incentives We will use this money to build cool shit, innovate, fund projects and make strategic partnerships - always with the goal of delivering value to our core community. As a crypto-native user myself, I know exactly what it means to risk funds on a new project and the value of transparency from the founder. There are so many cool things we will announce over the coming weeks and months that I can't wait to share. I hope this post clarifies any doubts on Sophon or the node sale. Happy to answer questions in the comments and no I cannot comment on "wen zks token🤣" End of tweet ✊

🟩 A Fully Aligned Round: $20M Series A Round🟩 Aligned Layer is pleased to announce a $20M fundraise led by Hack @hack_vc, with support from @daofive, @l2iterative, @NomadCapital_io, @FinalityCap, @symbolicvc, @theta_bv, @J17Crypto, @EVG_Ventures, @decimafund, GM Ventures, @ProtagonistXYZ, and other strategic partners and angels. We want to specially thank @alpackaP, @ed_roman, and @0xRodney from @hack_vc for their support. Read the full announcement: blog.yetanothercompany.xyz/a… What? Aligned Layer, thanks to @eigencloud, enables Ethereum to become a better, faster, and much cheaper settlement layer for validity and ZK proofs. We verify proofs cheaply and quickly, and post their results in Ethereum and any DA layer that the developer wants. We provide developers with new options to focus on building the best products possible for the users. Why? Until recently, it was difficult for engineers to prove their code. They had to write circuits to generate proofs. A few months ago, it became possible for Rust developers to easily prove their code. Dozens of companies are working on accelerating the speed at which proofs are generated. As an industry we are also close on having hardware acceleration to quickly generate proofs close to real time. In the near future, proof generation won’t be the biggest bottleneck but on-chain proof verification costs. Applications that use validity and ZK proofs can’t be implemented in Ethereum due to the high costs of verification. We actually created Aligned Layer because we wanted to implement some of these applications and it was not possible to do so. Also, it’s currently impossible to verify some proving systems on Ethereum due to its high costs or due to how the EVM works. We believe that by reducing barriers and friction for newcomers, decreasing the proving time, and lowering the costs of on-chain verification, we will unlock unprecedented levels of exploration and innovation within the space. How? We verify these proofs, post the results in Ethereum and any DA layer. We provide the developer with an SDK to check the results of our verification of proofs in any smart contract. This is only possible thanks to being an Eigen Layer AVS that runs different ZK and validity proofs verifiers written directly in Rust and Go without any VM in a decentralized network. In addition we will also have an aggregation layer that will aggregate all proofs that then will be verified by Ethereum. Read the draft white paper here: whitepaper.alignedlayer.com Check out the code here: github.com/yetanotherco/alig… When? We already have a first simple testnet working with Cosmos SDK. We are migrating to an Eigen Layer testnet in the upcoming weeks. We are working hard to deliver mainnet as soon as possible. We are also working on showing different examples of what can be built on top of Aligned Layer. In the next few weeks, we will also be sharing the partnerships we are launching and the angels that are supporting us in our mission.
