[Lumera Protocol @lumera]

Lumera is an infrastructure L1 for Web3. Decentralized storage, verification, and AI compute. one protocol, built for the ecosystem.

We've announced our first major integration: @Injective.

Injective builders can now store application data permanently on Cascade. Here's what that looks like in practice. 🧵

[Citadel.one @CitadelOne_]

Lately in crypto ↴

○ @injective hit a major institutional milestone as regulated INJ futures officially launched in the U.S. via a CFTC-licensed platform, placing INJ among a select group of digital assets accessible to institutions and U.S. users

○ @lumera integrated with Injective through IBC, enabling builders to access Cascade, Lumera’s decentralized storage layer. Developers can now store app data, NFT assets, metadata, and proofs using INJ or LUME

○ @NEARProtocol ecosystem introduced confidential withdrawals on https://t.co/TegthOHNid, allowing swaps across 35+ blockchains while keeping source wallet addresses private from public explorers

○ @berachain announced a listing on OKC Japan, with trading and deposits starting May 20, expanding access o one of Asia’s regulated crypto markets

○ @GenLayer partnered with Alt AI (infrastructure behind Alt LLM & 8004 Scan) to bring trust, identity, and verifiable AI judgment to autonomous on-chain agents

○ Origins partnered with @Conflux_Network to advance infrastructure for scalable coordination, verifiable computation, and secure execution for autonomous AI systems

@lumera @injective Something huge is coming, huh?

[Citadel.one @CitadelOne_]

In crypto, transaction fees are the engine that keeps everything running. But when fees get too high, they start hurting the blockchain’s usability and overall utility

𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝘀
○ Time your transactions
Transacting during off-peak hours can help reduce fees
○ Batch transactions
When possible, combine multiple actions into a single transaction to avoid paying separate base fees
○ Adjust wallet settings
Many wallets let you customize gas settings or choose a lower-priority transaction speed
○ Use L2 solutions and lower-cost networks

Everyone wants to use AI without worrying about data leaks or misuse. With @NEARProtocol AI Cloud and Private Chat, that’s becoming a reality

○ NEAR AI Cloud
As its core, NEAR AI Cloud is a secure environment for running AI models without exposing sensitive data. It delivers verifiable private inference via hardware-level protection, giving you access to advanced AI models while keeping every computation confidential

○ NEAR Private Chat
NEAR Private Chat brings the privacy-first infrastructure of NEAR AI Cloud directly to end users. It’s essentially a chat interface similar to mainstream AI chat tools, but built on top of NEAR’s verifiable, hardware-backed privacy architecture

That means when you chat:
1. Your conversations remain end-to-end encrypted
2. The inference happens inside a TEE, protected, isolated, and invisible to external parties
3. You can get a cryptographic proof that the computation ran securely

○ TL;DR
Today, many AI services require users to send sensitive data to third-party servers. Even when they claim “private mode,” there’s often no way to verify whether data stays private or is reused. In contrast, NEAR AI Cloud and Private Chat give you real control over your data by using Trusted Execution Environments, hardware-enforced security, and cryptographic verification
