Introducing The Giga Roadmap.

Two updates from @AethirCloud ☁️
→ Aethir Claw is live — an easy-to-deploy AI agent platform running on Aethir's decentralized GPU cloud. Fully isolated VPS, root-level data sovereignty, and ATH/USDT/USDC payments natively supported.
→ Axe Compute (NASDAQ: $AGPU), the Aethir-aligned neocloud running an $ATH denominated Strategic Compute Reserve, signed a $260M enterprise contract last quarter — the largest in company history. Pipeline now sits above $4B.
Application layer and enterprise layer pulling on the same GPU supply.
This is the Beam ecosystem thesis at work.

Sei Network celebrates third birthday!
@SeiNetwork is now some three years old, the scalability-focused network having now processed more than 2.6 billion transactions since launch, per @chainspect_app.
At time of writing, the $SEI token holds a market cap of more than $400 million, still well below highs of nearly $2.8 billion seen in late 2024.
Plume is now the world’s first regulated onchain vault manager.
We’ve been granted a Digital Asset Business Licence by the Bermuda Monetary Authority, joining Circle, Coinbase, and Kraken under @BermudaMonetary supervision.
This brings us one step closer to our vision of Open Finance.
