1/9 Telos Quantum Testnet update: preparing for a post-quantum future.
We've been testing ways to upgrade account security, keep existing addresses and understand the performance costs.
We're comparing options, not committing to a final design.
1/7 Meet Tungsten. The next generation of Telos Privacy is in development.
STARK proofs. No trusted setup ceremony. Formal verification as a foundation. Lower fees as a priority.
Built on experience. Built to grow.
This is exactly the kind of adoption we want to see.
Telos is the hub for Alcor’s new bridge, using our Lightspeed Finality technology to connect networks like Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon and WAX.
Great to see our technology being put to work.
If your network is shutting down, you shouldn’t have to walk away from everything you’ve built.
To the users, developers and communities looking for a lasting home: reach out. We’d love to understand what you need and explore how we can help you move to Telos.
You deserve a decentralized network built for the long haul, and a community that welcomes you.
You’ve put too much into building your future to have someone else switch it off. Let’s keep building it together. 💜
26 networks have shut down since October 2025.
Builders and users shouldn’t have to wonder whether the network they trust will exist tomorrow.
We thought that was the whole point.
Telos remains decentralized. No individual or team can simply decide to pull the plug. Our network’s future is in the hands of our community.
Over the past year, we’ve actively removed almost all of our expensive dependencies, putting self-reliance and longevity first. Every dependency we remove gives us more control over our future.
We’re here to give people the confidence to build something that lasts.
Our conviction is stronger than ever. The work continues, and we have some big announcements coming.
Telos is built different.
Telos is inevitable.
Telos is unstoppable.
It’s a wrap from OpenAI DevDay in SF 📸
We went with a goal in mind: bring recursive self-improvement to Telos.
AI should be able to help us find what needs improving, build and test changes, learn from the results, and get better at that whole process over time. Across our software, tooling and how we support builders.
A few announcements felt particularly relevant:
🤖 Dots — agents that can keep working on ongoing tasks. Lots of potential for turning feedback and ideas into work ready for our team to review.
☁️ Codex in the cloud — development environments where agents can keep building and testing while your laptop is closed. You can check in and steer the work from your phone.
⚡ Ultrafast — up to 8× faster token generation in Codex. When you’re repeatedly building, testing and refining, that speed starts to matter.
🔌 Sign in with ChatGPT + expanded plugins — opens up interesting possibilities for connecting Telos tools to people’s existing AI workflows.
Just as valuable were the people we met. It was great to compare notes with other builders, share what we’re working towards at Telos and make connections we can keep building on after the event.
There’s still work to do to put this together. But the ability for a small team and its community to build, maintain and improve an entire ecosystem is changing quickly.
We want Telos to make the most of that.

And there’s some bigger news behind this… 🥷
One thing before I start: everything in this post is public information from my own docket. None of it is new, and I'm not revealing anything you can't already find in the court filings yourself.
The retrial just got pushed to April 26, 2027. The order came down today (Dkt. 300). My acquittal motion is still sitting there, undecided. I honestly don't know when this ends.
Prosecutors are supposed to protect American interests and go after people who broke the law. A jury deadlocked on the two most serious counts against me. And still SDNY won't stop, because this case was never just about me. It's about setting an example.
Don't take my word for it. Tara La Morte, the chief of SDNY's Illicit Finance and Money Laundering Unit, said it herself at a New York City Bar Association event (Law360, Feb. 23, 2024; filed on my docket as Doc. 25-2):
"We want the industry to take notice."
"What we're trying to do is sort of bring the industry into compliance, and I think Tornado Cash is an example of that."
An example. Out of a developer who wrote code.
At that same event, her deputy praised the government's blockchain-tracing partner, Chainalysis.
Here is what they didn't tell the audience. All of it is from the public docket in my case.
According to the trial transcripts, Chainalysis was running its OWN Tornado Cash relayer, and earning fees on the transactions flowing through it.
- Chainalysis's own lawyers admitted to "a relayer node that Chainalysis operated"; my subpoena sought documents on Tornado Cash relayer(s) "used from March to August 2022." (Dkt. 211)
- In open court, the prosecutor said it plainly: "I think the parties agree as to that part of the testimony, that the Chainalysis relayer earned fees." Same hearing: "there's zero evidence that the defendant was in any way aware that Chainalysis was running a relayer." (Dkt. 259, July 25, 2025)
So the company that helped trace my "criminal" transactions was itself profiting from Tornado Cash transactions, while I was prosecuted over software I helped create.
And when my lawyers subpoenaed them to testify?
- Chainalysis moved to quash. (Dkt. 211)
- The government backed them: "Your Honor, we agree with the position outlined in the motion." (Dkt. 255)
- The night before, prosecutors called Chainalysis's counsel. The judge asked point-blank: "Did you let them know that they were potentially subject to investigation or prosecution?" The answer: "We have discussed at a high level some of the issues surrounding the relayer with Chainalysis." (Dkt. 259)
- The Chainalysis witness took the Fifth. My lawyers learned about that call only afterward, from Chainalysis's own lawyer. (Dkt. 263)
The jury never heard any of it.
This spring, at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas, something happened that I still can't quite believe. The Acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, and the FBI Director, Kash Patel, sat on a panel called "Code is Free Speech."
Think about that. The two top law enforcement officials in the country. Blanche told thousands of developers: if you're a coder and you're not the one committing the crime, "you are not going to be investigated and not going to be charged." He said the last administration's crypto cases were "outrageous attacks on the industry." Patel praised "the Chainalysises of the world" as FBI partners.
And when the moderator pointed at the elephant in the room, my case, Tornado Cash, Roman Storm, the Acting Attorney General called it a "lingering case" they are "continuing to deal with."
So here is my hypothetical question. If code is free speech, why am I still being prosecuted for writing it? And if the Chainalysises of the world are the partners, the same Chainalysis that ran its own Tornado Cash relayer and earned fees from Tornado Cash users, while I never did, why is it off the hook?
They made an example out of a developer for writing code. Their own vendor ran the same infrastructure, pocketed the fees, and got a phone call instead of a prosecution.
