@SharkPoolSol is hitting a huge target segment of major crypto adoption, and is doing so through a highly viable approach.

With their university initiative, they're giving real students the opportunity to not only learn about DeFi, but to genuinely experience it for themselves.

P.S. @NovaBlockchain ftw

This is so huge.

X published its algorithm on GitHub.

Not only do you now get to see the real code powering your feed, but also we’re going to see a massive buildout of this algorithm from the crypto snd broader X community.

Think about the efficiency and quality gains this system is going to get from all of these external builders.

Crypto integrations. Targeted advertising models. AI implementation. And so much more.

The open sourcing of the internet is critical for its continued development.

@m0xt_ The fact that crypto protocols are even competing with banks is insane.

This just shows how much the industry has matured to where we now see projects like Sky, which no financial analyst would even glance at a few years ago, to it now being a major player in the fintech space.

It feels to me like Ethereum is much more future-proofed than other assets, especially with the new framework rolled out.

The implementation of quantum resistant verification mechanisms seems to be the biggest hurdle, yet one that’s being actively solved.

But if you look at all the other requirements they’re already actionable:
- Ethereum continues to scale its TPS through zk, peerDAS, and tons of other ways
- account abstraction is adding even more programmability to wallets making them AI compatible
- $ETH staking queue is growing, more validators are popping up, and decentralization in the network is growing, making it even more censorship resistant

[Decentralized Future @_dcft_]

Ethereum is seeing insane weekly growth:

- continuously widening lead in stablecoins

- new network ATH of 57.8k TPS

- continued growth of dApp dominance

$ETH price underperformance shouldn’t be considered a sign of weakness.

All you need to do is look at onchain metrics to see that the chain is quietly starting to live up to its mission of being the world’s decentralized state machine.

[Decentralized Future @_dcft_]

The launch of ERC-8004 is going to solve a huge problem in AI: trust.

This is why I love decentralization as a service - you can literally build all of these trustless mechanisms that hold every entity onchain, even AI ones, accountable.

Imagine telling someone at ChatGPT or Grok, “hey we’re going to implement a proposal that lets all AI agents essentially maintain their own track record so anyone can go and verify that each agent is actually accurate and not operated by scammers” and then make this all publicly available.

No hidden registries, no gatekeeping, no manipulation.

This is truly how you build an agentic economy.

So you’re telling me that Trump is taking over Venezuela to

get to their oil

import it into US

drive gas prices down

weaken inflation

cause more rate cuts

pump crypto??

[Decentralized Future @_dcft_]

I’ve been doing a lot of research into decentralized digital IDs as an alternative to centralized systems.

Blockchain literally has the capability to revolutionize compliance and customer KYC.

Think about it - selective data exposure through ZK proofs, locally held private keys to personally sign each interaction, programmability for enhanced integration, and best of all, a distributed ledger system to prevent tampering and drastically limit the impact of hacks

The only thing left is for someone to build this…

[Decentralized Future @_dcft_]

Will 2026 be the year of the AI prediction markets?

You have the combination of historical data with the most advanced analytics tool ever.

It seems like we’ve corrupted prediction markets to only focus on gambling and have forgotten the notion that they can be used to tackle media bias and misinformation.

Why can’t these markets act as both a tool for information and a way to monetize your perceived edge?

If we continue to fall down the degenerate rabbit hole and avoid seeing the real value of these tools particularly in combination with AI predictive analytics, legacy media will slowly absorb this tool and make it seem obsolete.

[Decentralized Future @_dcft_]

Crazy work happening at @SynthdataCo

Everyone’s looking at AI as a form of automation for coding, writing, etc. but the idea that we can use it to game prediction markets is slowly being realized as well.

AI can (keyword, CAN) be very good at analyzing datasets and spotting unseen trends. With the gamification of our society currently occurring through every single sports betting/predictions app, it seems like this should be really taken advantage of.

Think about how much data we have on sports - AWS literally collects every single movement that occurs on a football field. Let AI sort through this data, find trends, and give you the best possible odds of winning.

Amazing but also a little scary

The PeerDAS implementation from the recent Ethereum update is huge for blockchain infrastructure.

The idea of sharding in blockchain revolves around each validator that’s running the network only having to view a small portion of the total incoming data instead of the entire dataset of txs.

Less data -> less processing power per validator required -> easier it is to run a node.

The goal is to have individuals/businesses that contribute to a blockchain to be able to run a node that’s as light as possible to reduce hardware requirements. This is a major step towards achieving that goal.

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

PeerDAS in Fusaka is significant because it literally is sharding.

Ethereum is coming to consensus on blocks without requiring any single node to see more than a tiny fraction of the data. And this is robust to 51% attacks - it's client-side probabilistic verification, not validator voting.

Sharding has been a dream for Ethereum since 2015 , and data availability sampling since 2017 ( https://t.co/Fa0jKFgObW ), and now we have it.

That said, there are three ways that the sharding in Fusaka is incomplete:

* We can process O(c^2) transactions (where c is the per-node compute) on L2s, but not on the ethereum L1. If we want to scaling to benefit the ethereum L1 as well, beyond what we can get by constant-factor upgrades like BAL and ePBS, we need mature ZK-EVMs.
* The proposer/builder bottleneck. Today, the builder needs to have the whole data and build the whole block. It would be amazing to have distributed block building.
* We don't have a sharded mempool. We still need that.

But even still, this is a fundamental step forward in blockchain design. The next two years will give us time to refine the PeerDAS mechanism, carefully increase its scale while we continue to ensure its stability, use it to scale L2s, and then when ZK-EVMs are mature, turn it inwards to scale ethereum L1 gas as well.

Big congrats to the Ethereum researchers and core devs who worked hard for years to make this happen.

@cbventures released a list of requested ideas that they’re actively looking to fund.

This includes:
- RWA perpetuals markets to bring more assets onchain
- Privacy infra on all levels of blockchain to protect onchain identities
- Proof of humanity to distinguish real users from AI and scams
- Smart contract AI auditing and generation to shorten launch times
- DePIN based data collection and encryption

The blockchain industry is growing at a rapid pace. We’re going to see a breakthrough of tools that will greatly enhance business efficiency at a scale never seen before.

Yeah macro doesn’t look too good buuuuttttt…

- regulatory clarity is (hopefully) right around the corner
- Solana ETFs are seeing consistent inflows
- onchain businesses still producing awesome products + revenue
- Aave, Uniswap, and others are cooking
- onchain yields are still flowing

Crypto is too risk on. The market likes certainty before diving into a risk on asset. Once the macro environment clears, we resume the generational wealth creation.

[Decentralized Future @_dcft_]

Hang on why did I just learn that @Zcash is cooking??

You have a chain operating on the same principles as Bitcoin and is an OG protocol that simultaneously uses ZK proofs to verify all transactions?

Imagine the benefit of this for businesses: entirely auditable and transparent but still enables private transactions for P2B payments. You can just flip between transparent and shielded mode.

And now with the Near Intents being enabled you can use $ZEC as a way to hide your transactions on other chains by breaking the link of addresses??

Wild.

[Decentralized Future @_dcft_]

Great analysis! I don’t think people realize how big this shift in DNS name conversion is though. This will (hopefully) create a world where onchain addresses all have actual names instead of being a random series of letters and numbers.

Like imagine trying to pay a business using crypto now where they don’t have an ENS name associated with their address. They can’t go ‘oh our address is 0xa7v9gh…’ they can only either a) give you a QR code to scan or b) send it to you directly.

If we have full DNS integration where you can just use your domain exactly as your wallet address that will dramatically help solve this issue. Businesses can say ‘oh send your payment to https://t.co/Bpp3MBNks0’ and anyone can just type it into their wallet and send money.

TLDR sending money via wallets should be as easy as finding a person’s Venmo and hopefully this will help solve that issue.

@MilkRoad Institutional adoption is great and all until you see them gobbling up the $btc supply lol

This dip increased institutional ownership of bitcoin from 20% up to 28% in a couple of weeks

[Decentralized Future @_dcft_]

@TheBlock__ Let’s BUIDL 🙏🙏🙏

[Decentralized Future @_dcft_]

I take this as a sign that the industry is maturing.

Firstly, imagine telling someone even like 3-4 years ago that stables would reach >300 billion in MC.

Second, stablecoin adoption requires further adoption + catalysts. We’ve really seen how stables as payment rails has played out so far. But relatively, still pretty small market.

We’re def headed in the right direction but unfortunately bureaucracy bars further entry. We need more compliance laws so businesses know what’s safe to build.

The case for stables is there already, it’s just a matter of how we shift from ‘early adopters’ to a ‘majority’ market.

[Decentralized Future @_dcft_]

Learned about @zama recently and 2 things really stood out to me:

1. Real use of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) to create secure transactions

2. Built as a security layer for existing chains rather than being its own

Not only are they using FHE, which processes transactions without decrypting them to lower risk of exposure, but it does so as an attachment rather than a separate system.

No fragmented liquidity effects or starting over with a new chain, you just implement it on top of the EVM chain you’re already using.

[Decentralized Future @_dcft_]

All of this time I thought I understood the path to Ethereum scalability. I was so wrong.

Ethereum researchers are literally building towards a future where not only do we see the chain scale immensely but it does so through proofs so succinct that you could run them from any local piece of hardware.

Imagine skipping every middleman (which there are already so few of in crypto) and literally being able to prove your transaction directly on your phone as soon as it’s placed.

That’s a future I want to build towards.

Amazing episode @Bankless and props to @ethereumfndn you guys are creating a better world for tomorrow 🙏🙏🙏
