We just placed 2nd place at HackCanton by @NODERS_TEAM, and we're just getting started.
We're excited to introduce Swap Monster, an on-chain OTC marketplace on @CantonNetwork, built for institutions and large holders to trade privately, on-chain, without moving the market.
Swap Monster lets you post private RFQs, select your counterparties, compare quotes, and settle atomically on Cantonβno custodian, no order book, no market exposure.
Just direct, peer-to-peer trading on the same ledger your assets already live on.
Onboarding opens soon. If you're a validator, fund, protocol, or a large trader who wants early access, DM us.
Consensus 2026 - that's a wrap π΄
Kicked things off at the Digital Asset Yield Summit.
Highly curated room, sharp conversations on where yield infrastructure is heading.
Thanks for having us @StakingRewards.
As Node Monster prepares to go live on @solana, we spent time with key partners building across the ecosystem, exploring how our validator infrastructure fits into what they're building.
Was also great reconnecting with our existing partners.
We're expanding our validator support across more networks and continuing to build alongside our partners.
Wrapped Episode #2 of The Validator Voice ποΈ
Thanks to @SpaceComputerIO, @RaylsLabs and @InfStones for joining us π€
- SpaceComputer is building the first blockchain running in literal orbit; satellite-based confidential compute.
- Rayls is building a blockchain for banks and financial institutions with native compliance.
Both agreed on one thing: geographic decentralization and security are non-negotiable.
That's exactly why bare-metal data centers and geographic distribution are crucial, and how we, and operators like InfStones, contribute to our partners.
Until the next episode!

The Validator Voice episode #2 is taking place tomorrow! ποΈ
We're bringing in two of the most interesting infrastructure projects being built right now and a top operator to discuss what they are building and what their plans are ahead.

Consensus Miami is coming next week!
As we continue to expand our validator operations across multiple chains, we're always looking to collaborate with:
- Networks seeking reliable infrastructure partners
- Institutions managing digital assets treasuries
- Yield allocators optimizing staking strategies
- Projects seek a reliable RPC node provider
If you're building a staking product, launching a network, or need validators for your portfolio - let's talk.
DM @SeanAnalysis or find us on the floor π€
#Consensus2026
Just wrapped Episode 1 of The Validator Voice with @InfStones, @Meria_Finance, and @GlobalStake.
The consensus was clear:
β Institutions won't come in at scale without regulatory clarity
β Being a validator isn't plug-and-play. The infrastructure, the security stack, the operational discipline β it's a serious technical undertaking that most can't manage alone
β Who you work with matters. Knowing what infrastructure your validator is running isn't optional; it's the whole game
Thanks to @ParkerPoor, @0x_Tm7, and @ThePhunky1 for keeping it real.
This is exactly the conversation the space needs.
Episode 2 coming soon, stay tuned! ποΈ

The momentum in the RWA infrastructure ecosystem is heating up, and we are proud to be part of it.
Happy to see our partners @ETHGasOfficial and @ether_fi in a $3 billion deal to advance institutional blockspace markets on Ethereum.
This partnership positions both protocols at the forefront of institutional DeFi infrastructure.
π’ @ethereum ecosystem developments
- @gnosis_ launches Ethereum Economic Zone framework with partners via @etheconomiczone
- Privacy breakthroughs advance across the ecosystem
- AI agents development accelerates
- Institutional infrastructure rails continue expanding
Major progress across multiple fronts
From privacy breakthroughs to AI agents and institutional rails, the Ethereum ecosystem keeps shipping.
Here are 22 things the ecosystem delivered over the past few weeks.
0/ @gnosis_ and partners introduced The Ethereum Economic Zone (@etheconomiczone), a framework to unify the L1 and L2s into a more composable system with better interoperability.
1/ @aztecnetwork Alpha went live, a feature-complete privacy stack built natively on Ethereum.
2/ @aave V4 was released with a new hub-and-spoke architecture with support for over 20 assets across three initial liquidity hubs.
3/ @PrivacyEthereum released Social Recovery SDK, a wallet recovery model where trusted guardians can help restore access if the owner loses their private key, replacing seed-phrase backups with programmable onchain policy.
4/ Post-quantum wallets launched on @Starknet. A path to quantum resistance without address changes or hard forks.
5/ The @ethereumfndn's Board released the EF Mandate. This document, which was first intended for EF members, reaffirms the promise of Ethereum, and the role of EF within this ecosystem.
6/ Private transfers are live on @Scroll_ZKP. You can now send funds privately onchain, advancing default user protections and confidentiality.
7/ @base introduced Batches Cohort 003. 12 teams were selected from 1,100+ building across AI, DeFi, payments, and prediction markets, pushing forward OnchainApps.
8/ @ethereumfndn launched pq.ethereum (dot) org. Supporting coordination and research in post-quantum cryptography. Two breakthrough papers progressing research on PQ, with input from Ethereum researchers, were also released.
9/ Stablecoins on Ethereum hit a new ATH. Supply surpasses $180B, up 150% in 3 years, with ~60% market share globally, reinforcing Ethereumβs role in stablecoins and DeFi.
10/ @Morpho launched Morpho Agents (beta), allowing users to integrate lending into apps via natural language using AI agents and accelerating the convergence of DeFi and AI.
11/ @thedaofund deployed $1M+ via an Ethereum Security quadratic funding round hosted by @Giveth, funding work to strengthen security across the ecosystem.
12/ Deposit time from L1 to L2s and exchanges can now be as low as 13 seconds due to the new Fast Confirmation Rule (FCR). This new industry standard can be adopted by the ecosystem over the next few months.
13/ @hinkal_protocol launched Hinkal Pay, end-to-end confidential payments where sender, receiver, and amounts remain private.
14/ @peerxyz launched Peer Verify, allowing users to prove their identity, in a privacy-preserving way via ZK proofs.
15/ @ensdomains integrated with PayPal, allowing users to send funds cross-border using ENS names instead of addresses.
16/ @AskVenice shipped verifiable end-to-end encrypted AI, introducing privacy systems that can be externally audited and proven.
17/ @safe released Safenet (beta), a pre-execution security layer for Safe wallets that runs before transactions execute onchain.
18/ @SiloFinance launched Silo V3 for safer lending markets in DeFi. The team rebuilt core assumption behind lending so collateral does not need to be sold to keep markets solvent.
19/ @coinbase announced x402, an initiative to establish the x402 protocol as a universal standard for AI-driven payments, is moving under the Linux Foundation to ensure vendor-neutral, community-governed oversight of the protocol.
20/ @zksync introduced The Cari Network, a new platform to bring tokenized deposits onchain, developed alongside five regional banks and powered by ZKsyncβs Prividium.
21/ @EthCC completed their 9th annual event in Cannes with attendees from across the industry. @ETHGlobal hit a milestone with their 300th event following ETHCC, continuing to support builders across the global ecosystem.
