Fusaka will fix this.
But also, safety first is of the utmost importance for Fusaka. The core feature, PeerDAS, is trying to do something pretty unprecedented: have a live blockchain that does not require any single node to download the full data.
The way PeerDAS works is that each node only asks for a small number of "chunks", as a way of probabilistically verifying that more than 50% of chunks are available. If more than 50% of chunks are available, then the node theoretically can download those chunks, and use erasure coding to recover the rest.
In the first version, there are two cases where the full data of a block still needs to exist in one place: (i) initial broadcasting, (ii) reconstruction, in case a publisher publishes 50% <= p < 100% of a block. But these roles are untrusted: we only need one honest actor to do them, if there are also 100 dishonest actors the protocol simply bypasses them. And different nodes can perform this task for different blocks. In the future, cell-level messaging and distributed block building will allow even these two functions to be distributed.
This is all new technology, and the core devs are wise to be super cautious on testing, even after they have been working on this for years. This is also why the blob count will increase conservatively at first, and then become more aggressive over time. But it is the key to L2 scaling (and eventually L1 scaling, once the L1 gas limit goes high enough that we have to put L1 exec data into blobs)
Saylor hinting at possible BTC sales in 2026 is wild to hear… but honestly? A guy who stacked this hard doesn't fold easy. Probably just managing expectations. Still long-term bullish on $MSTR. Who's watching this closely? #Bitcoin
We are trained to go bigger, more money, more crypto, more AI agents, more friends, more projects, more plans, more everything, and less happy.
Happy people have a small circle of friends and simple routines.
my dog just yeted my laptop off the desk while i was mid-trade and somehow i still ended up green😭 he's either bad luck or my new good luck charm i can't decide
Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan’s talk at Consensus 2026 was centred on a simple but important challenge:
The frequent misalignment between token design and real product innovation.
Her presentation, “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility,” explored how tokens can be treated as tools that can support user acquisition, product engagement, and long-term utility.
One implementation of this approach is Pi Launchpad, Pi’s design for ecosystem tokens and launch mechanisms that aims to help products acquire real users who can engage, provide feedback, and use those tokens within actual product experiences.
As AI makes it easier to build applications, the limiting factor is no longer creation.
It is distribution and usage.
Pi’s approach combines blockchain infrastructure, innovative token and launch mechanisms, identity verification, and a large engaged network of real users to address that gap directly.
Enjoy the full talk & leave your thoughts on Pi’s approach to tokens and launch mechanisms!

Agree with @RyanSAdams that a deep bench of leaders and developers are ready to ensure $ETH remains the future settlement layer of finance and AI
- to me, much of bearish sentiment reflects the disdain and despair seen at the nadir of crypto winter (finger pointing at the lows)
Blockchain is arguably the only way agentic AI interacts in commerce. And blockchain vastly improves the profit profile of the financial system
