Hey Everyone, nice DevvX milestone this morning. I just ran a benchmarking test of 100,000 transactions, and it processed it at about 1000 transactions per second on the test shard. That's the right order of magnitude that I need. Then, if you need 1 million tps, you would spin up 1000 shards. I'll caveat that it was a local system running localstack for the simulation (though I expect I can do better on better AWS hardware) and was single validator, but there will be plenty of room to make improvements and optimizations from here as well. This is showing that the approach has the right overall types of concepts to work as I need. It's still early, but also still progressing quickly.
Altcoins that are in the process of dying.
Plan to exit these at all costs in the future:
ADA - dead since 2022
SOL - this was its last major cycle
ENA - VC scam
LINK - never had a use case
SUI - same story like SOL
CRO - CEX scam
UNI - same like LINK
ICP - huge rug
ASTER - pump and dump
ATOM - already dead, went to zero in 2025
Aptos - same like ENA
ARB - L2s don't need a token
JUP - no use case
IP - founder pump and dumped, then bailed
Tezos - dead since 2022
Plenty of others to add. Feel free to complete the list in the comments.
📉 $DEVVE is trading ~95% below its all-time high, with a market cap in the single-digit millions while still powering settlement-native infrastructure and CTS protocol design 🌐⚡🛡️
This means risk is priced in but optional upside remains once institutional adoption arrives.
Worth studying when fundamentals, not sentiment, should matter.
https://t.co/qmZdfyq8tf
A lot of confusion around $DEVVE comes from people expecting a retail-style “unlock schedule”. That’s not how this network was designed. DevvE uses a foundation-managed supply model, and the categories are about function, not hype. Let’s break it down properly 👇
At the centre is the Forevver Association 🏛️
They manage issuance, distribution, and long-term supply on behalf of the network. This is explicitly stated in the whitepaper and mirrors how institutional-grade networks operate.
Now the categories 👇
🧠 Ecosystem Growth & Incentives
This bucket exists to bootstrap real usage, not price action. It covers developer incentives, ecosystem participation, and adoption programs. Think builders, integrators, and contributors who make the network useful. There is no fixed cap here because ecosystems don’t grow on a timetable.
💧 Liquidity & Market Infrastructure
This is the most misunderstood category. Tokens here support liquidity caches, settlement flows, and market operations tied to DevvISE and DevvExchange. This is not “rewards farming”. It’s structural liquidity that allows atomic settlement, routing, and conversion without counterparty risk.
🤝 Strategic Partnerships & Alignment
Used for long-term partner alignment. When institutions, platforms, or infrastructure partners integrate deeply, tokens may be allocated to align incentives over multi-year horizons. This is standard in foundation models and avoids short-term speculation incentives.
⚙️ Network Operations & Sustainability
Covers protocol-level economics: shards, validators, privacy domains, upgrades, and long-term operational health. DevvX is designed for regulated, institutional environments, so this category ensures the network can operate and evolve without relying on transaction fee spikes.
📜 Initial Issuance (the 150M number people quote)
This was the initial issuance, not a hard cap. The whitepaper never defines a fixed maximum supply. That was an assumption made by the market, not a promise made by the protocol.
The key takeaway 🔑
$DEVVE is not an exchange token and not a retail emissions play. It is a network coordination asset that sits below DevvX, DevvExchange, and DevvISE. Supply is managed to support settlement, liquidity, and institutional adoption, not to satisfy a monthly unlock calendar.
This model only makes sense if you understand what Devv is building:
not an app
not a meme
but settlement-grade infrastructure 🧱⚡🛡️
That’s the framework. Everything else sits on top of it.
I’m hosting a $Devve community Space on Thursday 5 Feb at 8pm UK time to calmly walk through what’s actually happening across DevvX, DevvExchange, and the Devv Ecosystem Platform.
There’s been real confusion around funding, timelines, demos, and partners. Most of it comes from mixing separate products, separate companies, and separate regulatory paths into one story.
This Space is about untangling that properly, without hype or fear from a community perspective.
All views our my own and assumptions, perspectives and speculation on the missing pieces will be made.

🌐 Infrastructure
⚡ Settlement
🛡️ Regulation
🖥️ Reality
High throughput looks impressive on dashboards, but none of that matters if outcomes remain probabilistic.
Financial markets don’t accept “almost final.” They accept full finality. DevvE’s architecture reflects that reality by prioritizing certainty over headline metrics.
With our patented CTS tech, transactions are contingently signed & then validated in groups. This is an extremely compelling concept for a next gen blockchain.
Most chains are great at moving tokens.
Very few are built to settle a real trade.
That gap is where CTS lives. 🛡️⚡🖥️
CTS stands for Contingent Transaction Sets. Think of it as a protocol level settlement primitive where a trade is not a single transfer, it is a bundle of dependent legs that must all succeed together or the whole thing fails.
No partial fills turning into partial settlement.
No “we will reconcile later”.
No risky smart contract spaghetti trying to imitate clearing.
Execution becomes a single all or nothing outcome. ⚡🛡️
Why it matters 🌐🔹
Every real market trade is multi leg:
asset moves
cash moves
fees move
collateral updates
risk updates
finality must be explicit
CTS is designed to make that one atomic moment, not a sequence of promises.
Patent context 🔹🧠
WO2019067798 covers the CTS concept as a secure contingent transaction system, the core idea behind atomic multi leg settlement. It is the settlement engine, not an app feature.
How it shows up in the stack 🖥️🌐
DevvISE style liquidity routing can chain swaps across liquidity caches, but the user experience is still one transaction: you pay in asset A, merchant receives asset B, and all legs close together.
If any leg cannot close, nothing closes. 🛡️⚡
Zoom out 💡
Most “T0” in the industry is fast movement plus later guarantees. CTS is trying to delete the guarantee window itself. That is the difference between “quick” and “closed”.
$Devve does this 🫡
Across jurisdictions, regulation is converging.
Not on ideology, but on outcomes.
Clear ownership.
Auditability.
Settlement certainty.
Market integrity.
Systems that treat regulation as an afterthought struggle to adapt.
Systems that treat it as a design input scale naturally as rules tighten.
$Devve was designed with this trajectory in mind, not as a retrofit.
🛡️🌐💡
NYSE just announced 24/7 tokenized trading with T+0 settlement.
The only current chain capable is $DevvE so it looks to me like some competition just entered the arena.
Well well well, this is the moment people have been waiting for, whether they realise it yet or not.
Every major exchange announcing tokenisation, 24/7 trading and instant settlement is validating one thing loud and clear. That the old plumbing is finished. Markets are being rebuilt from the ground up.
But here’s the part most miss 👇
Trading is not the hard problem anymore.
Settlement is.
Finality is.
Risk dying instantly is.
That’s why the right partners (fricking massive ones) don’t start with press releases. They start with architecture. With systems that can handle real capital, real regulation, real scale.
When a Major TradFi institution builds a new digital asset trading venue (@DevvExchange) they don’t look for hype chains.
They look for settlement-native infrastructure that doesn’t break under stress.
That’s where DevvX sits as the layer under
Not bolted on.
Not retrofitted.
Built for the endgame.
The noise is just getting started.
The foundations were laid years ago.
Now the market is finally catching
The Biggest Crypto Mover in 2026
Written by the @Devve_Community
Markets do not move when ideas are invented.
They move when infrastructure becomes unavoidable.
Most people only recognise this after repricing. By then, opportunity has already shifted from curiosity to consensus.
$Devve sits precisely in that moment.
Not because it is speculative.
Not because it is new.
But because it solves a problem markets can no longer defer.
What has changed is not the idea of settlement.
What has changed is that assets are now moving on chain under regulation, and the old settlement machinery cannot follow them.
🔷🔷🔷
What $Devve Actually Is 📝
$Devve is not a blockchain competing for users, applications, or attention.
It is settlement infrastructure, purpose built for a world where assets move on chain at scale, under regulation, and without tolerance for failure.
$Devve operates below trading venues, above base ledgers, and alongside custody and banking systems, collapsing what were once multiple post trade layers into a single atomic action.
$Devve sits between:
• Trading venues and liquidity sources
• Custody and banking systems
• Public and private ledgers
Its purpose is simple to describe and exceptionally difficult to build:
• Ensure value moves atomically
• Ensure settlement is final
• Ensure compliance regardless of system count
This is not a product narrative.
It is market plumbing.
🔷🔷🔷
Why Settlement Is the Real Bottleneck 🍾
Modern markets already trade quickly.
What they do not do well is settle.
Today’s financial system still relies on:
• Sequential execution
• Delayed clearing
• Pre-funded capital
• Reconciliation layers
• Counterparty exposure
Tokenisation does not remove these weaknesses. In many cases, it exposes them.
Once assets move on chain, settlement risk becomes visible rather than hidden.
Visible risk is unacceptable to institutions.
$Devve exists because markets can no longer pretend settlement is someone else’s problem.
🔷🔷🔷
Atomic Settlement at Protocol Level ⚛️
Most blockchains move value linearly. One transaction updates one state.
That model breaks the moment markets require:
• Delivery versus payment
• Multi asset trades
• Cross venue routing
• Regulated custody
$Devve replaces linear execution with Contingent Transaction Sets, protected by patent WO2019067798.
“A Contingent Transaction Set allows multiple dependent actions to execute as one indivisible operation.”
• Every leg settles together
• Or nothing settles at all
• No partial execution
• No stranded assets
• No reconciliation
This is fundamentally different from smart contract based settlement, which relies on sequential execution, external state assumptions, and probabilistic finality.
Devve’s atomicity exists at protocol level, not application level.
That distinction is why $Devve can operate where others cannot.
🔷🔷🔷
Liquidity Without Fragmentation 💦
Liquidity fragmentation is the silent failure mode of tokenised markets.
Capital exists, but it is trapped:
• Inside venue silos
• Behind custody boundaries
• Constrained by regulation
$Devve solves this using multi use liquidity pools with built in consent, protected by patent WO2022125823 and implemented through DevvISE liquidity caches.
These are not DeFi yield pools.
They are capital efficiency engines, where the same liquidity can simultaneously support:
• Trading
• Atomic settlement
• Payments
• Collateral
• Intraday liquidity
Each use is explicitly authorised by the capital owner.
The protocol enforces it automatically.
This is how institutional capital moves on chain without losing control.
🔷🔷🔷
Custody Designed for Regulation 🏛️
Pure self custody fails regulatory reality.
Full custodial surrender fails institutional risk management.
$Devve resolves this with key recovery without loss of control, protected by patent WO2019067800.
“Assets remain under the owner’s authority, while governance defined recovery mechanisms exist when legally required.”
This aligns naturally with expectations around:
• Reversibility
• Accountability
• Audit-ability
Many of the requirements now being written into custody and settlement guidance were architectural assumptions in Devve’s design from the beginning.
$Devve did not retrofit compliance.
It anticipated it.
🔷🔷🔷
Deterministic Finality 🎬
Speed without finality is noise.
Finality without determinism is unusable.
Devve delivers deterministic settlement finality in seconds.
This finality is:
• Not probabilistic
• Not social
• Not subject to reorganisation
It represents the legal moment ownership changes.
That is why $Devve maps cleanly to regulated settlement frameworks across jurisdictions.
🔷🔷🔷
@DevvExchange: Where Value Routes 💰
DevvExchange is not a retail exchange.
It is a settlement and routing layer built in partnership with the global leader of exchange technology. A partnership that will shock the world.
• Price discovery can occur anywhere
• Liquidity can originate anywhere
• Custody can remain anywhere
In practice, this means a trade can be:
• Priced on one venue
• Funded by liquidity from another
• Custodied by a third party
• Settled atomically as a single legal event
No interim exposure exists between steps.
Value does not trade on DevvExchange.
It clears through it.
🔷🔷🔷
Converging Market Signals 🏪
When traditional exchanges discuss tokenised securities, regulated digital markets, and atomic delivery versus payment, they are describing architectures that already exist.
• Major exchanges have outlined regulated tokenised market strategies
• Large custodians emphasise settlement efficiency as a competitive advantage
This is not coincidence.
It is convergence.
$Devve sits precisely where these trajectories meet.
🔷🔷🔷
Real Banking Integration 🏦
This is not a sandbox system.
$Devve integrates with regulated banking partners including Delubac and Cie.
Institutional capital does not jump onto blockchains.
It moves through:
• Banks
• Custodians
• Compliance frameworks
$Devve was built for that path.
🔷🔷🔷
A Closed and Defensible System 🛡️
Devve’s patent portfolio forms a closed architecture:
• Atomic settlement through CTS
• Custody control via recoverable keys
• Capital efficiency via consent based liquidity
• Compliance via privacy and authentication primitives
Recreating this system would require not just code, but years of regulatory alignment, patent navigation, institutional trust building, and live settlement experience.
This is infrastructure designed to endure.
🔷🔷🔷
Why 2026 Is the Inflection Year 🥳
Markets reprice when three forces align:
• Technology that works
• Regulation that is clear
• Institutions that are incentivised
In 2026, all three converge.
• Tokenisation is no longer experimental
• Regulation is no longer theoretical
• Institutions are no longer piloting. They are positioning.
When settlement becomes the bottleneck, the infrastructure that removes it becomes unavoidable.
🔷🔷🔷
Price and Valuation Framework 💵
“How Settlement Volume Becomes Token Price”
Devve’s token is not priced on narrative momentum.
As $Devve is used operationally:
• Tokens stop circulating freely
• Tokens sit inside liquidity, lending, and settlement paths
• Effective supply is reduced
It is priced on:
• Throughput relevance
• Liquidity anchoring
• Velocity compression
🔷🔷🔷
The Quiet Truth 🤫
Most projects sell futures.
$Devve delivers inevitability.
• It is not trying to be seen
• It is being positioned
By the time $Devve feels obvious, the work will already be done and the price will no longer explain itself.
When settlement moves on chain at scale, value will not ask where to go.
It will route.
That is why $Devve is the biggest mover of 2026.
Love from @Devve_Community
See next post for illustrative frameworks which are not forecasts.
Happy New Year from DevvE.
Hope you had a fantastic break and a strong reset.
Holidays are done, 2026 is for building, shipping, and momentum. We are ready!
DeFi protocols optimise markets, not settlement.
$AAVE, $UNI, $CRV, $LDO, $RPL, $MORPHO sit on top of blockchains and inherit their settlement properties.
Pros
• Capital efficiency
• Liquidity innovation
• Permissionless access
Cons
• Smart-contract risk
• Oracle dependence
• No native atomic settlement across assets
These systems move value fast.
They don’t guarantee finality across legs, venues, or asset types.
$DEVVE doesn’t compete with DeFi.
It solves the missing layer beneath it.
Without deterministic settlement, DeFi scales risk.
With it, DeFi becomes institutional-grade.
🔥 $FIAS (The Money of AI) fuels and enhances the value of $DevvE (The Money of Money)
Why is this relationship "potentially" so powerful?
My thesis. NFA
The project’s own definitions already suggest it: $FIAS is the native token of the AI-driven economy and native digital assets (gaming, metaverse, AI agents, modular orchestration), while $DevvE is designed as the universal settlement layer and the financial backbone of the entire @DevveEcosystem.
In essence, $FIAS lives inside $DevvE, like content lives inside an extremely efficient and highly liquid container.
It’s not just a metaphor — it’s the actual architectural design.
Here are the key points, clearly structured:
1. Distinct but perfectly complementary roles ↔️
$FIAS
The intermediary token and micropayments fuel for the AI economy, gaming, metaverse, and native digital assets.
Currently on Ethereum, it will become native on DevvX (the ultra-fast, ultra-low-cost chain of the project).
It serves as the “transactional fuel” in modular and creative economies.
$DevvE
Primary Shared Digital Asset (SDA) of the ecosystem.
It functions as:
• Universal settlement & instant conversion layer
• Fee payment asset on DevvExchange (with discounts when paid directly in $DevvE)
• Liquidity backbone for RWAs, TradFi/DeFi bridges, lending, market making
• Main method for instant, low-risk conversions (e.g., BTC → stablecoin without slippage or counterparty risk)
2. The core innovation: DevvISE + Shared Digital Assets (SDA) ❤️
Both $DevvE and $FIAS are classified as Shared Digital Assets within the patented DevvISE system.
This means they can be contributed to:
Liquidity Caches (LCs) → on-chain reserves for market making and instant swaps
Liquidity Seas → higher-level pools that balance liquidity across multiple LCs
Contributors earn a share of the revenue generated from:
• Trading fees
• Instant payment fees
• Lending/borrowing fees
• Automated market making
$DevvE and $FIAS are the SDA tokens with the largest revenue-share streams across the entire ecosystem.
3. The virtuous flywheel (positive feedback loop) 🪁
Adoption of $FIAS grows in AI, gaming, and metaverse economies → generates high transaction volume
All this volume flows through DevvExchange → produces significant fees
Fees are redistributed to contributors of Liquidity Caches & Seas
(including holders and stakers of $DevvE and $FIAS)
$DevvE becomes increasingly indispensable as the universal settlement and liquidity asset → organic demand ↑
Higher capital efficiency: you can use $FIAS and $DevvE simultaneously for earning (from liquidity) + borrowing (without selling the assets)
Result? The more the AI economy (powered by $FIAS) takes off, the stronger $DevvE becomes as the indispensable financial infrastructure → mutual value creation and growth.
This analysis is based on my personal reasoning after studying the official whitepapers and documentation of the projects.
I strongly recommend reading directly for a complete and up-to-date understanding:

Always do your own research
#DevvE #RWA #Defi #Crypto #Blockchain #AI
Most people misunderstand $FIAS because they try to map it onto consumer AI products.
$FIAS is not an app.
It is not a chatbot.
It is not a single model.
$FIAS is AI infrastructure.
At its core, $FIAS introduces Arches
Composable, domain specific AI systems designed to perform one job extremely well.
Each Arche is purpose built
Clear scope
Clear inputs
Clear outputs
Clear accountability
This matters because serious systems do not scale with general intelligence.
They scale with specialised intelligence.
$FIAS is building the layer that lets AI behave like infrastructure rather than experiments.

🚨Breaking News! Ai platform launched on DevvX by $Fias
Most people think AI progress means bigger models.
That’s not where the real breakthrough is happening.
The future of AI isn’t one model that tries to do everything.
It’s thousands of specialised systems, each designed for a specific task, domain, or decision surface.
That’s what $FIAS is actually building.
$FIAS isn’t an AI app.
It isn’t a chatbot.
It isn’t “AI + token”.
It’s an AI infrastructure layer built around a concept called Arches.
An Arche is a purpose-built AI system.
Not general.
Not vague.
Not bloated.
Each Arche is designed to do one thing well, with:
• defined scope
• constrained logic
• auditable behaviour
• and the ability to interoperate with other Arches when needed
The demo video people have seen isn’t “the product”.
It’s the first Arche.
The architecture is designed to scale to thousands of Arches, each tailored to real world use cases where trust, control, and precision actually matter.
This is the key insight most people miss:
Linking to AI APIs is easy.
That’s not innovation anymore.
The hard problem is:
How do you structure AI systems so they can scale without becoming opaque, ungovernable, or dangerous?
$FIAS answers that by focusing on architecture, orchestration, and economic alignment, not raw model size.
The $FIAS token isn’t decorative.
It’s embedded into how the system operates.
It coordinates:
• access to Arches
• incentives for running and maintaining systems
• governance over which Arches are trusted or deprecated
• alignment between real usage and value creation
In other words, utility grows with actual system use, not narratives.
And this isn’t isolated.
$FIAS is built on DevvX, which means:
• deterministic infrastructure
• predictable execution
• and a clean link into the wider Devv ecosystem
$Devve handles settlement and finality.
$FIAS handles intelligence and execution.
Different layers.
Designed that way from the beginning.
The important takeaway:
AI doesn’t scale by getting bigger.
It scales by getting more specialised, more structured, and more composable.
$FIAS isn’t chasing today’s AI hype.
It’s building for the world where AI has to work reliably, repeatedly, and at scale.
That’s a very different game.
And it’s only just getting started.
