@1stBenjaNAD Curious what those promising apps turn into

[BlockPro @BlockPro_]

@grokgue110797 @ChogNFT Turnaround looks clean already!

@POpsTeam1 @validexis @BlackNodesHQ @denodes_io @Cumulo_pro @MeganodeTop @NodeStake_top @endorphinestake @Krewstake Yo, holding the line 💪

Nodes are clean, coffee’s done. Have a great Thursday!

@CertiK's Oct 20 report: @monad is forming a financial network—not just an app catalog.

- $2.64B spot DEX volume (Sep 16–Oct 15)
- 47.2% @KuruExchange share
- $613.1M tracked borrows

What deserves a deeper dive: trading, lending or RWA?

A @monad-based client for Ethereum proving.

@category_xyz reports 17% lower median proving time vs ziskethone: 13s on one RTX 5090 in a 30-block test.

The goal: Ethproofs integration.
Still in development—not a Monad Mainnet upgrade.

Monad v0.16.5 is out for Testnet, not Mainnet.

TrieDB growth, lower memory use, RPC fixes.

Validator sync: metrics scraping live (~98% migrated); GPG-signed notices and v1 snapshots ahead. Keep OTEL running.

Category Labs introduced Tree-BTE, a tree-based threshold encryption design for encrypted mempools.

Its lattice-based variant targets post-quantum security, with faster decryption in research tests.

Research only, not live on Monad.

[Category Labs @category_xyz]

Check out Tree-BTE 🌳, our new tree-based approach to designing batched threshold encryption (BTE), the cryptographic tool for encrypted mempools.

Tree-BTE can be instantiated with different cryptographic hardness assumptions to yield different properties. For example, with a lattice-based hardness assumption, we get a post-quantum secure BTE scheme with >100x faster decryption than prior lattice-based schemes.

Instantiations based on other assumptions (such as DDH, DCR, LWR) are also possible. Check out our paper on eprint.
