Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade shipped PeerDAS in December. Validators now custody just 12.5% of blob data while guaranteeing full availability. But we couldn't find a clear technical breakdown of how the security actually works.

Canton is gaining traction with major financial institutions. For auditors more familiar with EVM chains, DAML requires a different mental model entirely.

Here's what we've learned about authorization, privacy, and contract lifecycle on Canton.

The @informalinc engineering team continues to ship! Even after spinning out Malachite, @cyclesmoney and @hydromarkets this past year, they somehow managed to find time to build a new consensus framework to launch high-performance blockchains

[Aleksandar @oakenknight19]

High-performance? yup. EVM compatible? yeah. Deployed in minutes? hell yeah!

[Rez @RezMah]

Custom consensus layer -> Engine API -> Custom Reth will continue to proliferate as the architecture of choice for L1s. Nice work @informalinc

[Nikola @n_marcetic]

Those guys never sleeps

Don’t let others define what trust should look like. With Emerald, you can build your own network of trust, shaped by your rules and your needs. 💚
✔️ Easy to operate
✔️ High performance
✔️ EVM-compatible

[Informal Systems @informalinc]

Public blockchains lack the performance and control enterprises need. Private chains sacrifice transparency and trust.

Today we are introducing Emerald: An open-source framework for institutional networks of trust.

Launch your own high-performance, EVM compatible Emerald network in minutes.

How do you build a high-speed blockchain without letting validators steal each other's rewards?

MonadBFT from @monad solves the tail-forking problem that plagues pipelined consensus. 🧵

The audit report for @dYdX's Proposer Selection feature is now live. We reviewed their implementation that provides more control over which validators can propose blocks.

Introducing Arc, the home for stablecoin finance.

@Arc is an open Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built to drive the next chapter of financial innovation powered by stablecoins.

Designed to provide an enterprise-grade foundation for payments, FX, and capital markets, Arc delivers the performance, reliability, and liquidity builders need to meet global financial demands.

Arc features:
✅ USDC as native gas
✅ Built-in FX engine
✅ Deterministic sub-second finality
✅ Opt-in privacy
✅ Full Circle platform integration

Open, composable, and EVM-compatible, Arc is designed to interoperate seamlessly with the broader multichain ecosystem.

As part of our mission to advance blockchain infrastructure, we're excited to welcome the Malachite team and IP from @informalinc to Circle. Arc is built on Malachite’s high-performance consensus engine.

In line with our commitment to open-source development, the core software for Arc will be released under a permissive license, enabling the broader developer community to contribute, extend, and build on top.

Serving as foundational infrastructure for the internet, Arc will enable 24/7 global settlement that’s as seamless and native as messaging on the web.

Arc will enter private testnet in the coming weeks, with public testnet expected this fall.

A blockchain secured by $BTC is live. Congrats to the @babylonlabs_io team on the Genesis of their PoS chain!

[Informal Systems @informalinc]

Nillion is live, taking privacy to the next level!

Stake with Informal Systems and help us secure the chain 💪

Malachite consensus engine will enable decentralization without necessarily imposing a performance tradeoff - the decentralized network will be able to maintain sub-second finality and high throughput even with 100 validators as we see in our ongoing experiments & MVPs

We are truly excited for Starknet decentralization - not to speak of dual Bitcoin x Ethereum settlement model!

[Informal Systems @informalinc]

Huge news for Malachite!

@zooko and the @ShieldedLabs team have chosen our consensus engine Malachite for Crosslink, a @Zcash upgrade to hybrid PoW/PoS. We're excited to offer our full support for their implementation.

Story protocol is bringing one of the world's most valuable asset classes on-chain! Currently, IP is a multi-trillion dollar asset class hindered by a legal framework that ensnares assets, making IP inaccessible and mostly illiquid.

@storyprotocol solution: Tokenize ꧁IP꧂ on-chain in a three-layered architecture

Informal Systems is excited to be a main net validator providing high-quality infrastructure and support!

We're excited to announce our participation in @Lombard_Finance Security Consortium with other outstanding validators and technical contributors.

The future is bright for Bitcoin liquidity with Lombard!
