🚀 Just wrapped up an incredible bootcamp about Liquid Network! Got to meet the legendary @adam3us from @blockstream, and my brain is buzzing with all the new knowledge on @Liquid_BTC. 🧠 Can't wait to build something cool on Liquid.
💡 Big thanks to @petertomato298 and @planb_network @PlanBTaiwanNode for putting this together! 🙌

Thanks to WDK, wallet integration into apps is effortless! 🚀

If a native Swift version comes in the future, it'd be even better.

[Blockstream @Blockstream]

Bitcoin adoption keeps growing. Each wave brings new users and new expectations.

We just shipped a new release of the Blockstream app, focused on advanced user flows. Making air-gapped hardware wallet custody and 2FA-enhanced security smoother while keeping everything fast, focused, and open source. 🧵⬇️

[Davide Crapis @DavideCrapis]

We’re starting a new AI Team at the Ethereum Foundation (the dAI Team).
Our mission: make Ethereum the preferred settlement and coordination layer for AIs and the machine economy.

The team will focus on two main areas:
- AI Economy on Ethereum = giving AI agents and robots ways to pay, coordinate, and follow rules without middlemen.
- Decentralized AI Stack = making sure the future of AI doesn’t rely only on a handful of entities but has open, verifiable censorship-resistant alternatives.

We believe Ethereum can be as useful for today’s AI developers as it will be for the sci-fi future. That’s why we’ll work closely with ecosystem projects to accelerate progress and push the boundaries of research and innovation at the intersection of AI and blockchains. Connecting two communities that have too often worked in parallel.

We’ll work side by side with both the Protocol and Ecosystem teams at the EF. Linking protocol improvements with the needs of AI builders, and funding innovative public goods that will make Ethereum the best home for AI.

Ethereum makes AI more trustworthy, and AI makes Ethereum more useful. The more intelligent agents transact, the more they need a neutral base layer for value and reputation. Ethereum benefits by becoming that layer and AI benefits by escaping lock-in to a few centralized platforms.

Acting with purpose and urgency, we’ll continue our recent work on ERC-8004—a standard for proving who an AI agent is and whether you can trust it— and continue to support new upgrades and standards. Inspired by the d/acc philosophy and Ethereum values, we’ll support projects that are leveraging Ethereum to build a more resilient and secure AI ecosystem where humans can flourish with AI.

Ethereum + AI is about making sure humans keep agency and AI can reach its potential. Neutral, verifiable, censorship-resistant infrastructure means AI works for the people, all of us.

The team starts with myself as lead, and we’re just getting started. Explore our job postings and resources below, and join us in building the future of decentralized AI on Ethereum.

Future software will likely be agent-to-agent, similar to APIs but better encapsulated, like human-to-human interactions, as LLMs endow them with intelligence.

Startup CEOs should not play the odds.

- The Hard thing About Hard things

[Paolo Ardoino 🤖 @paoloardoino]

WDK by Tether ( Wallet Development Kit https://t.co/3KIq9GGm71 ) will be the first self-custodial open-source wallet infrastructure to be fully unstoppable, 100% configurable, leveraging P2P swarms for syncing nodes and broadcasting transactions.

Rumble Wallet is building on this architecture @rumblevideo

WDKv2 is coming soon, with proper documentation, support and examples.

As a founder, there’s always a million things to do . It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose sight of what really matters.

That’s why I want to build an app to help me stay focused on the core — not just stay busy 🧘‍♂️.

Ideally, it would even come with an AI startup coach 🤖 to keep me on track each day.

(Though ironically, building this might be just another distraction… 🤪)

For founders, with founders 🚀.

Future websites will be built for AI to consume, while people only ever see the distilled summaries.

[Tanay Jaipuria @tanayj]

Cloudflare CEO @eastdakota on the end of the web:

Google a decade ago: 2 pages scraped for ~1 click
Google now: 6 pages scraped for 1 click
OpenAI: 250 pages scraped for 1 click
Anthropic: 6,000 pages scraped for 1 click

💡 DeepSeek is making waves in AI.

But how do distillation models help AI become faster & cheaper? I wrote about it here 👇

Excited to see what Hadron by Tether will bring to the table. A non-custodial platform with this level of innovation and compliance focus is definitely something to watch

[Paolo Ardoino 🤖 @paoloardoino]

Tether Investments invests in Quantoz, a company issuing 2 MiCAR-compliant European grassroots stablecoins (EURQ and USDQ), leveraging our new Hadron by Tether technology platform, for tokenizing any asset in the world, from stablecoins to equities, bonds, funds, real-estate and even loyalty points.

These two new stablecoins, invested also by a consortium of other industry leaders, including Kraken, are focusing on European boundaries, bringing efficiency and compliance to the next level.

Hadron by Tether is fully non-custodial and encompasses all the technology and know-how that Tether built over the last decade, in a single product.
Among its suite of controls, deep emphasis has been placed on providing the most comprehensive set of tools for compliance, Know-Your-Customer (KYC), Anti-Money-Laundering (AML), Know-Your-Transaction, Risk Management, and secondary market ecosystem monitoring

At Tether, we believe in the importance of building safe, transparent, compliant and resilient ecosystems that can bring positive change in different regions of the world.

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned.
