Builders keep building quietly… until it’s time to change the game 🔥

Fully onchain perps trading + strategy execution is exactly the kind of infrastructure this space needs.

Excited to see what @deltartrade is cooking with the @DecibelTrade builders code

[Deltar @deltartrade]

We've been building in stealth mode.

Today, we start talking.

Deltar; perps trading and strategy execution, fully onchain.

@blinktrade blink blink

[blink @blinktrade]

Crypto built global settlement before it built exchange-grade execution.

blink is built to close that gap.

Physical infrastructure.
Equalized access.
Tradfi-grade execution.
Blockchain settlement.

Today, blink comes out of stealth.

Upcoming Cedra Talks

This Friday, we’re hosting a special conversation with @DmytroMatviiv, CEO of @HackenProof, to discuss one of the biggest challenges in Web3 today: security from Day 0.

📅 May 22
⏰ 2 PM UTC
📍 Live on X

We’ll cover:
- Why most exploits happen
- The current state of Web3 security
- Recent exploits and what the industry should learn from them
- Bug bounties and white hat culture
- Security mistakes projects still continue to make
- What builders should prioritize from the very beginning

Join us live and bring your questions ⬇️

Community Call This Thursday 🎙

Join us on Discord on May 21st at 3 PM UTC for the next Cedra community call.

This time, we’re preparing something special together with @mangusta_io 👀

Everyone attending the call will get access to a secret word connected to a new Mangusta quest campaign.

Use it in the quest → unlock a reward → and become eligible for a unique NFT.

We’ll also talk ecosystem updates, community activities, and what’s coming next.

Don’t miss this one.

Early look at one of our Orc characters for @lastsalv

What makes this interesting is that we’re using a heavily modified MetaHuman workflow for a fantasy creature, something very few teams attempt since MetaHuman is built mainly for realistic humans.

To make this work, we had to do the following:
• Reconstruct and sculpt non-human anatomy
• Preserve realistic facial deformation & expressions
• Rework proportions/topology for Orc features
• Do extensive R&D before actual production
This is also one of the reasons development takes time. A huge amount of work happens behind the scenes before assets even enter full production.
The Orc is still only around 20% complete, but the realism and facial rig tests are already looking very promising. 🔥

The facial rig, deformation tests, and realism are already looking very promising for an Orc warrior, and there’s still a lot more polishing, detailing, hair work, skin work, armor integration, and optimization left.

Cedra Talks recap is now live ✨

Featuring @Diana_the_King, @baluson0x, and @yaro0x, this session explores Cedra’s mainnet plans, upcoming builder programs, ecosystem direction, and how the community can get involved and contribute👇

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

I like blockchain tech quite a bit because it extends open source to open source+state, a genuine/exciting innovation in computing paradigms. I'm just sad and struggle to get over it coming packaged with so much braindead bs (get rich quick pumps/dumps/scams/spams/memes etc.). Ew

[Avera @averafinance]

If you’ve used Avera this before, then you’re early.

Like… actually early.

So tell us:

What’s confusing?

What’s slow?

What would make this 10x better?

We’re building this with you. 👇

[Daniel @dankestrel]

@MankyDankyBanky crazy!!!

[Cedra @cedranetwork]

Let’s explore another core project in the Cedra ecosystem 👇

This is what capital efficiency actually looks like:

→ Pick a pair
→ Set your price range
→ Earn fees where volume exists

No dead liquidity. No guesswork.

Allocate your capital with precision.

[Gary Marcus @GaryMarcus]

Claude Code is not AGI, but it is the single biggest advance in AI since the LLM.

But the thing is, Claude Code is NOT a pure LLM. And it’s not pure deep learning. Not even close.

And that changes everything.

The source code leak proves it. Tucked away at its center is a 3,167 line kernel called print.ts.

print.ts is a pattern matching. And pattern matching is supposed to be the *strength* of LLMs.

But Anthropic figured out that if you really need to get your patterns right, you can’t trust a pure LLM. They are too probabilistic. And too erratic.

Instead, the way Anthropic built that kernel is straight out of classical symbolic AI. For example, it is in large part a big IF-THEN conditional, with 486 branch points and 12 levels of nesting — all inside a deterministic, symbolic loop that the real godfathers of AI, people like John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky and Herb Simon, would have instantly recognized.*

Putting things differently, Anthropic, when push came to shove, went exactly where I long said the field needed to go (and where @geoffreyhinton said we didn’t need to go): to Neurosymbolic AI.

That’s right, the biggest advance since the LLM was neurosymbolic. AlphaFold, AlphaEvolve, AlphaProof, and AlphaGeometry are all neurosymbolic, too; so is Code Interpreter; when you are calling code, you are asking symbolic AI do an important part of the work.

Claude Code isn’t better because of scaling.

It’s better because Anthropic accepted the importance of using classical AI techniques alongside neural networks — precisely marriage I have long advocated.

It’s *massive* vindication for me (go see my 2019 debate with Bengio for context, or to my 2001 book, The Algebraic Mind), but it still ain’t perfect, or even close.

What we really need to do to get trustworthy AI rather than the current unpredictable “jagged” mess, is to go in the knowledge-, reasoning-, and world-model driven direction I laid out in 2020, in an article called the Next Decade in AI, in which neurosymbolic AI is just the *starting point* in a longer journey.*

Read that article if you want to know what else we need to do next.

The first part has already come to pass. In time, other three will, too.

Meanwhile, the implications for the allocation of capital are pretty massive: smartly adding in bits of symbolic AI can do a lot more than scaling alone, and even Anthropic as now discovered (though they won’t say) scaling is no longer the essence of innovation.

The paradigm has changed.

—
*Claude Code is plainly neurosymbolic but the code part is a mess; as Ernie Davis and I argued in Rebooting AI in 2019, we also need major advances in software engineering. But that’s a story for another day.

[Daniel @dankestrel]

you can't scale a new ecosystem on lazy AMMs.

we are building @averafinance to be the highly efficient liquidity engine that @cedranetwork deserves.
