The migration to post-quantum cryptography is becoming a race against time. Governments and enterprises are cataloging vulnerable systems, while blockchain networks are moving early because cryptographic failures could compromise assets, identity, and transaction history.

Great seeing @SiliconData’s @CarmenLi on South Park Commons’ Compute as an Asset Class panel in NYC last night. Among other things, she spoke about how GPU contracts give buyers certainty about what they’ll pay in a constantly changing market.

Fhenix launched mainnet, putting composable privacy into production. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/fhenix/status/21128889…
Fhenix mainnet is live. What started as an idea to bring FHE-powered confidentiality to blockchains is now production-ready infrastructure, for you to build with. CoFHE is now live on @arbitrum and @ethereum, bringing confidentiality to onchain assets without compromising composability.

Long-running AI agents repeatedly use the same documents, instructions, and history. We see an opportunity in reducing the cost of processing this information again and again.

Big day for the @ritualnet team as they launch mainnet. We’re excited to see what developers build when a smart contract can call an AI model, use the result, and schedule its next action without human intervention. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/ritualnet/status/21147…
Ritual mainnet is now live. AI works inside your companies. Ritual lets AI be one.

Congrats to @bobbinth and the team on launching partner mainnet. They've built around a conviction we share that private transactions and institutional compliance have to work in practice, on the same chain. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/0xMiden/status/2114705…
Miden is now live on partner mainnet

Computer-use agents are reshaping enterprise work beyond individual task automation. Greater software fluency enables AI systems to perform increasingly complex workflows independently.

AI agents are changing how enterprise software gets priced. We see an opportunity for products that charge for completed work, with quality and delivery costs determining whether the model holds up.

AI adoption in the UAE (73.3%) and Singapore (64.3%) shows how infrastructure, policy, and demand reinforce one another. Microsoft’s September 2026 Global AI Diffusion Report highlights these figures, which reflect coordinated investment in connectivity, talent, and AI tools.

Great to see continued momentum from the @ionet team.
1 trillion tokens processed. Yes, trillion. No inflated narratives. No billion-dollar budgets. No gigawatt campus. Just GPU capacity, switched on and put to work. Thank you to every builder who made it happen. The next trillion comes faster.

Great to see @Stable deepen their work on stablecoin infrastructure.
Bridging onchain settlement with real-world payment infrastructure is essential to making stablecoins more accessible and useful at scale. We're happy to contribute alongside industry partners to the upcoming whitepaper by @InterlaceMoney, exploring the next phase of stablecoin payments.
