We are looking forward to contributing to @UNDP's inaugural meeting of the Blockchain Advisory Group β a senior-level forum exploring responsible, scalable blockchain adoption for sustainable development. #BlockchainForDevelopment
π @UNDPβs Blockchain Advisory Group is now officially launched, opening a new structured space with senior leaders from across the blockchain ecosystem.
For us, this is part of a longer effort to move the blockchain for development conversation into a more responsible space.
π ICYMI: The next generation of financial infrastructure may not ask nodes to re-run transactions, it may ask them to verify cryptographic proofs instead.
Our latest deep dive explores Nexus and its approach to building a zkVM-powered Layer 1 for verifiable finance and AI.
As blockchain evolves beyond simple settlement, verifiability, performance, and composability are becoming core design principles.

Smart move by Starknet introducing dynamic L2 gas fees that adjust to network conditions. More predictable costs are exactly the kind of foundational infrastructure work that helps builders and users alike.
https://t.co/NjEe0T6zEx
Starknet v0.14.3 is coming to production this month.
Testnet: Jun 9
Mainnet: Jun 22
Whatβs inside:
> Dynamic L2 gas base fee adjustments based on $STRK price
> Faster block production
> Lower target L2 gas per block, while max block size remains unchanged
> RPC 0.8 deprecated
This version introduces some breaking changes, so we strongly advise all builders to read the official pre-release notes.

Unlocking idle BTC for productive use is one of the most meaningful infrastructure challenges in the space. Great to see @SuiNetwork pushing native Bitcoin finance forward with Hashi ahead of its testnet.
https://t.co/CPyCHOh74A
Introducing Hashi: a new era of Bitcoin finance on Sui.
Bitcoin's market cap exceeds $1 trillion. < 0.5% of it is used in DeFi.
Hashi is here to change that, with commitments from industry leaders including BitGo, Bullish, Erebor Bank, FalconX, Fordefi, Ledger, and more.
What happens when U.S. equities stop being limited by market hours and move on-chain?
The conversation around tokenized assets has been building for years β but we may be entering the phase where infrastructure becomes the deciding factor.
With Binance introducing access to 7,000+ U.S. stocks and ETFs for eligible non-U.S. users and previewing bStocks on BNB Chain, the conversation is shifting from *whether* tokenized securities will scale to *what powers them underneath*.
As real-world assets move on-chain, the requirements change:
β‘ High-throughput performance
π Global availability
π Reliability with automated failover
π Infrastructure built for institutional expectations
At InfStones, we believe infrastructure is the layer that determines whether tokenization becomes experimentation or financial transformation.
Read more about why the next battle for on-chain equities may not happen at the application layer, but at the infrastructure layer.

https://t.co/qt18xxBo75
Project Pangea is a major step toward real-time, compliant cross-border settlement, and it's a clear signal of where institutional infrastructure is heading. Congrats to Chainlink and the banking consortium on moving FX from T+2 toward T+0.
https://t.co/1yDitcL6kJ
Real-world assets moving onchain with around-the-clock settlement is exactly the kind of infrastructure shift we build for. Great to see tokenized equities like $MU finding deep liquidity on Solana.
https://t.co/6rqrDf5JIC
Issued by Backpack Securities, $MU is now live on @Solana with @sunrise.
Micron reports earnings on Wednesday after the closing bell. The results will be a major test of the AI memory boom, with $MU tradable 24/7 on Solana as markets react.
$MU is redeemable 1:1 for real shares and transferable to traditional brokerages.
Machine-readable credit ratings onchain is a genuine milestone for institutional RWA.
Great to see @solana proving that public networks can meet institutional-grade standards, the kind of infrastructure foundation the whole ecosystem benefits from.
BREAKING: For the first time, Moody's credit ratings are embedded and machine-readable at scale on Solana, the leading public network for institutional RWA.
One of the world's three major rating agencies, trusted across 40+ countries. Now, through @alpha_ledger, bringing credit intelligence onchain.
Starknet's v0.14.3 upgrade is a meaningful step for L2 usability, with dynamic gas pricing and faster block production improving the developer and user experience. Predictable fees are foundational infrastructure, and good to see them prioritized.
https://t.co/6pHZ0UzDFt
The vote on Starknet v0.14.3 is now live.
As a reminder, this upgrade brings:
- Dynamic L2 gas base fee adjustments based on the STRK price, for better fee predictability
- Faster block production
- A lower target L2 gas per block, while the max block size remains unchanged
- RPC v0.8 deprecation
This version introduces some breaking changes, so we strongly advise all builders to read the official pre-release notes.
The upgrade will be deployed on Testnet on June 22, and on Mainnet on July 6 (postponed from the date announced in the governance proposal).
All $STRK stakers are now invited to vote.

Chainlink Proof of Reserve is unlocking regulatory readiness for the worldβs largest onchain Korean won FX market.
Removing gas friction at the protocol level is exactly the kind of UX shift that moves stablecoin payments toward the mainstream. Good to see Sui make peer-to-peer transfers genuinely free.
https://t.co/JLoMGi4HSG
Privacy and auditability don't have to be a tradeoff. Confidential transfers that shield amounts while preserving compliance visibility are the kind of infrastructure that brings institutions onchain. Good to see Sui pushing this forward.
https://t.co/k57MWjBZQZ
π₯ LATEST: Sui co-founder Adeniyi Abiodun announces confidential transfers are coming to $Sui.
The feature shields transaction amounts while making unauthorized minting impossible by design.
π Can AI and finance truly operate in a trustless, verifiable way?
The emergence of Nexus zkVM and its vision for a Layer 1 purpose-built for verifiable finance is pushing the conversation beyond scalability and toward a new question: How do we cryptographically verify financial applications and AI-driven systems at scale?
In our latest article, we explore:

Binance's bStocks puts 7,000+ US stocks on-chain, settling on BNB Chain. Tokenized equities now inherit TradFi's reliability bar: high-availability nodes, automated failover, low-latency RPC. That backbone is where InfStones lives. https://t.co/DgpieQ2DCv
Congrats to @chainlink on powering the official FIFA World Cup 2026 prediction markets as the exclusive oracle via ADI Predictstreet. Automated, verifiable settlement at this scale is exactly the kind of trusted infrastructure Web3 was built for.
https://t.co/KxswfkchsL
The 2026 FIFA World Cupβ’ is projected to be the biggest sporting event in history, spanning 48 teams, 104 matches, and 16 host cities.
To mitigate the risks of slow manual resolution or market outcome disputes, ADI Predictstreet adopted the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) to automate market creation, resolution, and settlement.
Faster block times are the kind of performance work that quietly compounds.
Tightening vote pacing from 400ms to 300ms is exactly the consensus-layer optimization that high-throughput infrastructure is built to take advantage of.
MIP-12 - reduce Monad block times by decreasing the vote pacing from 400ms to 300ms - has been published by @category_xyz
The vote pacing determines the min block time. Reducing it allows the network to proceed faster if quorum has been achieved
The tech has already supported this improvement, but mainnet launched with an extra buffer. With this change and others, youβll see the network continue to harden and streamline
