What are the early signs of a declining economy?
My answer:
1. Increase in infant mortality rate
2. Declining investment in education
3. Increasing social inequality

What countries are we observing those trends in?

[Julien Pageaud @JulienPageaud]

Venezuela, Yemen, Sudan, DR of Congo, Turkey, but not only….

3/3 - AI and blockchain are highly transformative technologies that are now rapidly impacting the productivity of all sectors.

[Julien Pageaud @JulienPageaud]

@DTAPCAP to continue on your comment
1/3 - 2024 is a year of elections in main developed countries with upcoming fiscal tightening. Many factors are contributing to maintain a [3-4]% inflation for the next decade while growth will remain globally challenged.

[Julien Pageaud @JulienPageaud]

2/3 - However, product cycles are not financial cycles. The Tech Giants and more broadly the tech companies are on a solid positive trend based on revenue growth.

[Julien Pageaud @JulienPageaud]

2/2 - The interoperability between each other is a key challenge and requirement for the development of interbank on-chain transactions.

[Julien Pageaud @JulienPageaud]

Interoperability in blockchain has been a major pain point solved with cross-chain bridges bringing points of vulnerability to the decentralised networks.

Polyhedra Network has been solving this issue with zero-knowledge proof for trustless and efficient cross-chain bridges.

[CoinDesk @CoinDesk]

Web3 infrastructure provider @PolyhedraZK closed a $20 million strategic funding round led by @polychain valuing the company at $1 billion. By @willcanny99.

1/2 - For an illustration of its major impact: banks have been developing permissioned networks to settle wholesale transactions reducing counterparty risks, operating costs and settlement times.

@DTAPCAP Music to my ears, Dan! See you soon in the US.

one reason why we need horizontal scalability:
so on-chain games can be fun

[HELIKA @Helika_AI]

Few know gaming analytics better than Helika's Chief Product Officer @lucasfulks 📈

And we had a chance to sit down with him at our Web3 Gaming Pizza & Beer night in Paris to chat about why analytics are key for gaming, and Helika's unique approach 🥂🇫🇷📽️

Look Ma, I Made a DEX Order on QED:
const cov = tokenB
.covenant(DEX_BOT)
.burnTo({to: this.userId, amount: 2000})

tokenA.burnWithCovenant(
{ actor: DEX_BOT, amount: 1000, covenant: cov }
);

[Psy Protocol @PsyProtocol]

QED #WordOfTheDay: Covenant

Covenants are used on QED for cross user interactions, token transfers, order books and more!

With covenants, smart contracts can require that an additional transaction is executed before a transaction chain proof can be submitted to the network.
