DFBA is a novel model for order matching that is fairer than FIFO. However, no perps exchange supports it... until now.
Exciting to see @fogo becoming the first venue where this new model will go live.
Take a look at this thread to learn more π
Excited to announce that Firstset is the first @Fogo node operator joining @TheHUB
We strongly believe small sets of colocated validators are the best and most pragmatic answer to how we bring TradFi-like execution onchain, today.
By colocating our nodes in their bare-metal infrastructure, we will be delivering institutional-grade low-latency performance, TradFi-grade spreads and deterministic execution, which will ultimately bring more markets, liquidity and traders onchain.
AI agents are making deals, coding, arguing onchain but who settles disputes when they disagree?
Introducing Testnet Bradbury.
Our validators don't just verify transactions, they reason about them with real LLM inference onchain.
We're not like the others.
We've started using Claude Code to automate validator upgrades (with human supervision).
Opus 4.5 is the first model we have found to be capable of completing upgrades without the need for human intervention.
Congratulations to @fogo on their token launch today.
Make sure to stake it on @BrasaFinance, Fogo's leading LST built on top of our open source work on the Fogo Stake Pool.
Fogo welcomes @robotventures as an investor, led by Robert Leshner of @superstateinc and Tarun Chitra of @gauntlet_xyz
In response to this and several upcoming integrations, the $FOGO tokenomics have changed.
Details in the updated tokenomics blog below:
Stake Pools are the lifeblood of Solanaβs validator base which help support the networkβs decentralization.
Really good resource to learn more about them!
If our math is correct, this won't really make much of an impact on Ethereum's economics.
With 5B blob gas used daily by L2s on average, we see how even 1 Gwei blob gas would result in only 5 ETH burned.
Blob gas price mooning after the Fusaka upgrade, thanks to EIP-7918.
It went from 1 wei on average cost per blob gas to currently 0.014 Gwei, representing a 14,000,000x increase.

In other words, it took only 2 months for Solana validator count to drop 13%.
Unsurprising since staking APY is nearly half what it was at the beginning of this year, SOL price near yearly lows and @SolanaFndn reducing their validator subsidies at the worst possible time.
A new all-time low for total @solana validators. Sadly, Layer33 has already been affected, as one of our own had to close down shop today.
We need to work faster to strengthen independent validators and keep our home decentralized. 33 π
Fogo launching the pragmatic way. Starting with USDC transfers, without the need to hold the chain's native gas token.
This is possible thanks to Fogo Sessions, their account abstraction framework which sponsors transactions by default.
Mainnet genesis has occurred. USDC transfers are open.
In the quiet corners of the ether (not that one), a spark was lit.
Infrastructure and validators have been onboarding behind the scenes in preparation.
Not because itβs easy, but because itβs hard π§΅
Congratulations to @monad on the huge milestone of launching Mainnet today.
We are proud to be supporting Monad alongside @Kairos_Res and @parsec_finance
