[Aptos @Aptos]

From scaling supercomputers to scaling Facebook to scaling Aptos.

One thread runs through them: making distributed systems work at massive scale—the backbone of today's AI systems.

🌊BRAT Joins the Splash!

New season. New faces. Same chaos. 💥
@bratonsui partnership characters are joining the battle in Suuiplash!

Get ready to make a splash! 💦

[Aptos @Aptos]

Reliability wins.

Aptos pairs sub-second finality and sub-25ms block times with production-grade infrastructure — enough for demanding use cases, and to let systems like @shelbyserves build on top with confidence.

[Sui @SuiNetwork]

Bitcoin is back in every timeline, but it is still sitting idle in cold storage.

Hashi makes native $BTC programmable collateral on Sui, while the Bitcoin stays on its own chain.

2M+ deposits on testnet. Mainnet next.

Crypto gives people a way out.

Many countries suffer from high inflation, or volatile currencies. The only way most residents used to be able to escape was to move, or hoard cash.

Now stablecoins let them hold stronger global fiat currencies, like USD, far far easier, from anywhere in the world.

[Aptos @Aptos]

One unified experience for fully onchain trading, where equity, commodity, and crypto perps collide.

Aptos Foundation's @ASHAWONN joins @useTria and @DecibelTrade to unpack what that shift means for traders, why it matters that every trade is settled onchain on Aptos, and more.

Chainlink: The standard at the center of onchain finance

[Sui @SuiNetwork]

Three weeks after launching Hashi Testnet, traction is building:

📥 1.1M+ deposits processed
📤 165K+ withdrawals
🔒 More than 50% of all Bitcoin Signet transactions in the last two weeks came from Hashi test activity

[LayerZero @LayerZero_Core]

In 2026, 87% of cross-chain transfer volume has used the OFT standard to-date.

While it is the most widely-used token standard, the OFT standard is not a "one-size-fits-all" solution.

Asset issuers come to us in three different situations:

1. Starting "from scratch" with no assets on any chains
2. Wanting to expand an existing asset to many chains
3. Wanting to issue a suite of many assets on many chains

The OFT standard offers the customization and controls to meet these needs ↓

[Sui @SuiNetwork]

Rival companies rarely cooperate willingly. They won't show each other their prices.

So how do you run a live market where competitors have to coordinate in seconds?

A new Sui Spheres prototype does it with agents. Five energy companies, one grid, no trust required.
