You've been stuck in 2 broken games:
- prediction markets that cap you at $1
- launchpads that never resolve
🪻Enter 42, an event-launchpad:
✧ where outcomes are liquid tokens
✧ and markets settle on truth
where 1000x is structurally possible,
even when you're wrong🧵
K1 Research is stepping into 2026 with a refreshed logo and a renewed vision. This rebranding is more than a visual update. It reflects our commitment to smarter thinking, faster execution, and delivering more meaningful insights and opportunities to our clients and followers.
With a stronger focus on Korea and the broader APAC region, we’re gearing up to move further and faster together. You’ll be seeing this new logo more often from now on, and with it, a sharper K1 Research.
Let’s make 2026 a year of better thinking, stronger outcomes and growth!🚀
Reflecting on 2025, it was a year where crypto moved from speculative hype to institutional reality. With Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs and the U.S. establishing strategic reserves, we've witnessed the true maturation of digital assets.
At K1 Research, our greatest milestone this year wasn't just the metrics, but the unbreakable trust of the clients and community who built this journey with us. Together, we didn't just follow the market, but we defined it. We’re taking all the wins and lessons from 2025 and leveling up for what’s next. It's been an epic ride so far. 🙏
With 2026 being the Year of the Horse, we’re ready to help you "saddle up" for even bigger wins. No more "horsing around" with weak strategies—it’s time for a full-on gallop to the moon. Let’s make 2026 a legendary ride together! 🏇💨
🎄Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from Klein Labs
As 2025 comes to an end, we’d like to thank our liquidity partners, trading counterparties, and collaborators for navigating one of the most complex market environments together.
This past year tested execution, risk management, and conviction. Through volatility, fragmented liquidity, and shifting market structure, we’re grateful to have worked alongside partners who value discipline, transparency, and long-term alignment.
Looking ahead to 2026, we remain focused on building more resilient liquidity frameworks and deeper market infrastructure. A new year brings new opportunities—and we’re excited to continue scaling together.
Wishing everyone a restful holiday season and a strong start to 2026. ✨
BIG Shipping Announcement!
This is a pivotal moment in the history of Polygon.
The Rio upgrade, a payments-focused network rehaul, is live on Polygon PoS mainnet.
- Near instant finality
- Eliminates Reorgs from Polygon POS, single biggest devX and UX complaint is now resolved
- This enables POS chains to go to 5000 tps which we will gradually unleash in the network
- Optimises POS chain for payments-focused roadmap
- - lightweight nodes that lower the barrier of entry for network participant
How it works: Rio redesigns core architecture to make life easier for payments solution providers. By overhauling how blocks are created and verified, the upgrade sets the stage for Polygon PoS to reach ~5,000 transactions per second. It brings better reliability and near-instant finality, while also lowering costs to run nodes.
For validators, Rio deepens participation with a new block production model makes roles clearer and rewards fairer.
I’m excited to see the Rio upgrade live.
Kudos to the Polygon engineers for shipping - each step of Gigagas roadmap strengthens the rails for global payments.
