Solid $TIG spaces as usual.
A second mining pool goes open source next week. Anyone can spin one up.
Oxford and MIT experts signing on as challenge owners.

Annnnd a proof-of-work case for AI safety I haven't seen anywhere else.
@binance just shipped x402 on BNB Chain, live with @travalacom hotel bookings.
When the biggest exchange adopts an HTTP status code, x402 stops being a narrative. It’s the standard.
One integration, many chains. That’s what the PayAI Facilitator is for.
"Bitcoin can be cracked in 9 mins" and related headlines are going virial.
Don't worry - it's mainly FUD and marketing hype - your keys are safe :)
The real headline: "Google just said it has a better quantum attack on Bitcoin-style cryptography, refused to publish the actual algorithm"
Here's a breakdown:
Google dropped a paper that says the attack on Bitcoin-style cryptography may need a much smaller future quantum machine than people thought.
Main claims your hearing:
"They found an algorithm to break eliptic cruve cryptography"
Wrong - they used the Shor’s algorithm - which we have known since 1990s that it can, in principle, break many forms cryptography
So why did Shor not already break everything?
Because knowing an algorithm exists is not the same as having a machine that can run it at useful scale.
You still need a quantum computer that is large enough, stable enough, and error-corrected enough to run it.
What is new is Google saying the quantum computer needed to do this may be much smaller than many people thought.
How much smaller?
Google’s own headline framing is nearly a 20 fold reduction over prior estimates under its superconducting assumptions.
That does not mean they built the machine.
They designed / compiled the attack circuits AND estimated the resources.
"They only need 1,200 qubits now"
Misleading.
Google is talking about logical qubits and NOT physical qubits
A physical qubit is a raw hardware qubit, the actual fragile thing sitting in the machine.
A logical qubit is a more reliable qubit built out of many physical qubits plus error correction.
Why does that matter?
So when Google says about 1,200 to 1,450 qubits, it means ~ 500,000 physical qubits.
Public hardware today is more like ~100 to ~1,200 physical qubits, or only dozens of logical qubits
"Bitcoin can be cracked in 9 mins"
Google is not saying Bitcoin can be cracked today in 9 minutes.
Google is saying that on a future very advanced superconducting quantum computer, the attack might take about 18 to 23 minutes if you do the whole thing from scratch.
Then it says that if the attacker does the first half of the work in advance, and waits for a target public key to appear, the remaining part could take about 9 to 12 minutes.
So "9 minutes" is a future-machine estimate in a best-case attack setup.
The big deal is not "Google discovered quantum computers can break crypto."
We knew that already.
The big deal is that Google says the future machine needed may be a lot smaller than previous estimates suggested. The paper calls it close to a 20-fold reduction under its assumptions.
JUST IN: Batch payments are live for @x402 on Solana via @PayAINetwork and @BlockRunAI
An agent opens a payment channel, makes as many payments as it needs, and settles once onchain using x402.

I gave y'all $XRP before it did 8x.
I gave y'all $BNB before it did 7x.
I gave y'all $TON before it did 10x.
I gave y'all $ONDO before it did 2x.
I am giving y'all $Bkn / @Brickken at 0.1$.
Last time I mentioned we saw a new ATH.
See y'all at 0.8$

Imagine telling a scientist in 1990 that in 2026 the most reliable funding for open research would come from a token on a blockchain.
OpenAI raised $110B and open sourced... nothing. $TAO runs 129 subnets anyone can fork. $TIG publishes every winning algorithm.
The open networks took the talent. Tracking @tigfoundation here, really promising
Just a reminder, be careful who your quant is. 😅
If you’ve been shorting with her since $58K, you didn’t catch the liquidity grab.
You were the liquidity grab for this marvelous bull run. 🚀
What's hilarious about $TIG is that people aren't even sidelined...
No one realizes what it even is yet.
This is a 100x play when the flywheel full works.
Algorithms run the world. TIG has created a market to monitize them.
This idea is huge and completely peerless.
This is what I don't think people understand..
$TIG is looking to achieve something with licensing that's not been done before
They are attempting to fundamentally change how algorithmic innovation is monetised
An open, global marketplace.. where anyone can discover a better algorithm, prove its value and potentially earn ongoing royalties when businesses and others license it
Imagine thousands of humans and AI agents continuously competing to solve the world's hardest computational problems.. with the resulting breakthroughs becoming commercially valuable assets
Its creating an entirely new economy around algorithms
People just do not understand how massive or important this is..
When licensing goes live.. $TIG is going to valhalla
$TIG
$BKN The best lowcap Rwa project in this space. 660million tokenised, 150+ clients. Profitable business with nearly 1 million dollar in buyback this year. To put it in perspective, its performed better than $btc $eth $sol this bear market. Broke out a major multi year downtrend.
