[Charms @charmsai]

Millions spend hours with AI characters.

But characters forget, creators don't earn, and the best experiences sit behind paywalls.

We raised $1.5M to build the character economy with @lattice_fund, @cbventures' Base Ecosystem Fund, @JME_Ventures; bootstrapped by @worldcoinfnd.

[Jess | founder CEO @blockusgg @theweb3jess]

Console belongs on the blockchain.

Our gaming worlds started with console - Mario on Nintendo, PlayStation, we played, built and dreamed. It came even before personal computers. It was the first digital world for most of us, before the internet came along.

Console belongs on the blockchain. What we make, earn, progress, and generate deserves to live in a permanent digital space, creating a permanent memory book to look back on, during all phases of our lives.

Gaming is and will always be the first use case for adoption - such is the case for "computers", the internet, and GPUs. Such will be the case for the blockchain.

I cannot wait for the future to become reality.

[Shah Ramezani @ShahRamezani]

1/ We recently wrote a piece that’s stuck with me.

It’s about the hidden evolution of money - from bearer bonds to stablecoins - and how every generation has tried to fix the same tradeoff:
- Move fast. Or be safe.
- Rarely both.

[Chen Zituo @CZituo]

Excited to back the real innovation. @ambient_xyz

[ambient.xyz @ambient_xyz]

To followup on the news article released earlier this week, the @Ambient_xyz team is proud to announce the completion of our combined $7.3mil fundraise led by @a16zcrypto CSX, @Delphi_Ventures, and @AmberGroup_io.

Ambient is an AI-infused L1, relying upon its novel Proof of Logits mechanism to power a single massive model (600B+ params). Miners run inference and earn both fees and rewards for their compute, thus making it a potential replacement to Bitcoin. With its new consensus mechanism, Ambient can verify that untrusted miners are actually running the model—at just 0.1% overhead. With this breakthrough proof model, it unlocks a new level of trust in the high-stakes fields of finance, defense, law, health, and robotics.

In addition to our lead backers, Ambient’s fundraise also included participation from: @superscrypt, @bigbrainvc, @proofgp, @rubikvc, @aethircloud, @0xPrismatic, @fede_intern, @kelxyz_, @alexgolding_, @toly, @rajgokal, and other incredible founders and leaders, listed below.

This fundraise will be used to accelerate development towards our vision of building a network backed and secured by machine intelligence productivity, and we are looking forward to sharing more information about our upcoming testnet and miner programs.

[Illia (root.near) (🇺🇦, ⋈) @ilblackdragon]

Blink and it’s final: NEAR blocks are now 600ms, with 1.2 second finality. That’s 10x faster finality than Solana. 600x faster than ETH and L2s. Without the need for more expensive hardware.

This is a major upgrade that truly sets a new performance standard for blockchains. Now you don’t have to choose between a fast chain and a secure chain: NEAR is both.

Fast blocks and fast deterministic finality means virtually no wait time for blocks to become irreversible. Better UX, stronger reliability, and greater confidence for real-world apps & enterprise use cases.

Build user experiences where multi-step transactions can finalize in seconds. Reduce wait times and complexity around tx confirmations, reorgs, and network delays.

In a Chain-Abstracted world where agentic interfaces will further abstract blockchains away from users, it’s an easy choice of where to build: just build on @NEARProtocol. It’s secure, super-scalable, truly multichain, and really really fast. I’m proud of the Protocol team for continuing to ship the best tech in Web3!
