CDR Hackathon has officially closed… and judging has begun!
64 projects total and I’m going through them all TODAY
Thanks for making this so difficult, having a blast reviewing everyone’s hard work
Numo just passed 400,000 training data contributions.
all the while operating in early access, near zero marketing and the mobile app hasn't even launched yet 🔥
gnumo
seven days ago we launched Numo with @psdnai.
a billion people speak hindi, bengali, tamil, telugu. less than 0.1% of voice ai training data is in any of them (like in microsoft's VibeVoice latest model).
nobody was fixing this big training gap, so we started collecting thousands of hours from contributors all over india.
week one stats:
> 210,000+ contributions
> 18,000+ contributors
> contributions growing about 40% day over day
every contribution registered as IP.
every contributor rewarded.
every second of audio licensed at the moment it's create on story.
Vietnamese launched just hours ago and we already have thousands of contributions!
here's a some fun facts about why we are focusing on Vietnamese:
+ Vietnamese has six tones across three regional dialect systems: Northern, Central, Southern, with big differences in tone systems, vocabulary, and pronunciation
+ Central Vietnamese is the most different and it’s the most challenging dialect, even for other Vietnamese speakers
+ Most voice AI is trained on Northern Vietnamese which misses roughly half of how the country actually speaks
thanks to Numo's collection efforts AI models will be able to upskill on conversational nuances and be more realistic.
we're also not stopping at voice. we'll start rolling out other forms of tasks soon, always focused on long tail, hard to scrape real world data the models can't easily scrape from the internet.
175 projects submitted. Only 10 made the cut.
Real products with real value, built for an increasingly surreal world.
Join us for Surreal World Assets Demo Day. Tomorrow, Dec 18, 12pm ET.
Today, AI is a black box. No record of the training data that goes in, the code that runs, or who gets paid.
With @eigencloud, we're advancing a framework to make every layer of the AI stack verifiable by default:
▸ Provenance
▸ Execution
▸ Settlement
More on this ↴
AI becomes trustworthy when you can verify everything:
- where the data came from
- how the model was trained
- which model ran your prompt
That's the stack we’re building.

Programmable IP 🤝 programmable Privacy.
Introducing Confidential Data Rails (CDR), a general purpose framework for programming with confidential data onchain.
Here's some example use-cases CDR enables:
- IP: every IP asset can now have confidential data attached, with programmable access control based on onchain conditions, like owning a license (i.e. IP Vault)
- AI: CDR can encrypt and verify delivery of confidential data into a trusted execution environment (TEE) for fully verifiable models, ensuring end to end chain of custody guarantees.
- Secrets: API keys can be encrypted and access can be time-limited, revoked, or updated at the protocol level.
- DeFi: confidential data can be used as collateral, like the reference files of an IP asset, or assets from other chains, even a Bitcoin or Solana private key!
Here's where it gets interesting, it can even be used recursively: you could use CDR to securely and verifiably generate a mpc bitcoin wallet without leaking the private key, that is then encrypted through CDR again to be used as collateral once the wallet is funded.
CDR will also enable protocol level crosschain interop and even off-chain web2 interop, thanks to its core underlying principle of dynamic key generation.
This is just the beginning!
Recently, @Zenswap_io beta (powered by @OneAnalog ) was released. So what's Zenswap? Zenswap is the best UX cross-chain liquidity layer: one function call lets your dApp swap any native asset from one chain to any other. Here’s how it's a game changer for both institutional and retail users 🧵:
Did you know? Analog’s Head of BD, @ericwang1215 , is about to run the same playbook that scaled Polkadot to a $50B + FDV, this time however, for @Zenswap_io + @Firestarter_fun .🧵
Hyperliquid turned genuine fee flow into a $7.5 B airdrop almost overnight.
@Firestarter_fun and @OneAnalog are wiring up the same flywheel, but the fuel is rent checks, hotel resorts, T-bill coupons, solar farms, and box-office revenue, not speculative points.
Missed HYPE? Don’t miss the rerun. $ANLOG sits where the cash flow lands. 🫡

A top-tier Hollywood studio just asked if we can tokenize a chunk of their next blockbuster starring an A-list superstar.
In the last month alone we’ve fielded RWA tokenization requests for IP, securities, real estate, fine art and now Hollywood’s at the door.
@Firestarter_fun + @OneAnalog are about to turn movie tickets into $ANLOG cash-flows.
Retail, pay attention: Hollywood is coming... 🎬🔥🐦🔥

Once upon a time, Stanford & Waterloo alumni, ex-Polkadot senior engineers & researchers, Chainlink product directors, Enjin-network builders, YC alumni, VCs, and even computer-science professors joined forces to all build under one roof at @OneAnalog . Mix that DNA and magic happens. Can’t wait to show you soon what we’ve been cooking. 🧑🍳🔥 $ANLOG
