Honest thoughts on @sizedotclub:
• charts lag and don’t update as smoothly as expected
• transactions take 3-5s to confirm, feels slow during active trading
• too many functions and buttons, the flow gets confusing
• mobile version still struggles, can’t properly view chart + countdown at the same time
What’s good:
• 15-minute timed rounds create real pressure and competition.
• $1 Alpha key is a smart low barrier.
> And the bigger idea of modernizing prop trading and putting it on @hyperliquidx is something new in the space.
solid concept, UX just needs more polish.
The comparison graph on the @sizedotclub’s Trial Report is one of the more honest design choices.
• It doesn’t just show your score.
• It places your run against the median of other completed Trials at the same level.
You see immediately whether you were ahead, behind, or simply average.
That context is more useful than an isolated number.
> Some people treat Preseason as a leaderboard race and focus on volume of scored runs
> Others move more slowly, spending extended time in Practice before committing a Key
> Both approaches are valid under the current rules
> Each style creates a different relationship with the product
The design does not force a single way of engaging.
It simply makes the consequences of each approach easier to see.

@PaperDegenX@paradex@edgeX_exchange@grvt_io@Backpack Just looked into @Sizedotclub and didn't realize the PreSeason was this big.
$1M+ in backed accounts, 500 winners, and the leaderboard is already live.
Free to enter too.
Definitely keeping an eye on this one.
Imagine finding a way to turn a prop challenge into a competitive game. That's basically what @sizedotclub is doing.
I went in expecting another:
“Hit X% profit without losing Y%.”
Instead, the PreSeason is built around XP and progression.
You have Trials.
Missions.
Referrals.
A live leaderboard.
And a pretty serious prize structure waiting at the top.
The weird part is how quickly you start caring about your rank.
I started at zero.
Did a few things.
Earned some XP.
Checked the leaderboard.
Then immediately thought:
“Okay, I need to beat that guy.”
😂
That's probably the strongest product insight I've had so far.
The trading mechanics are still developing and the platform is clearly early-stage.
But the competitive loop?
That already works.
And with 500 backed accounts up for grabs, I don't think the leaderboard is going to stay this quiet for long.

Sui adding post-quantum signatures isn't just preparing for a distant threat.
It's addressing a permanent blockchain problem.
Once an account transacts, its public key can remain visible forever.
Attackers don't need quantum computers today.
They can collect keys now and wait.
Before calling any blockchain quantum-safe, check:
• Signature standards
• Migration paths
• Wallet compatibility
• Transaction-size costs
• Protection for existing accounts
The threat may be in the future.
The exposed data is already here.

Google’s DeepMind reshuffle shows AI is also a talent race.
Demis Hassabis is stepping aside.
Jeff Dean is leaving.
Models can be rebuilt.
Research cultures cannot.
The next breakthrough needs more than compute.
It needs the right people in the room.
