Here's another cool fact about Ritual: Their team has been publishing serious AI research, including work on speculative decoding to speed up LLMs and inconsistencies in large model behavior—stuff that's top-tier academic level.
They're driving real AI breakthroughs. 💚@ritualnet
Ritual's strength lies in creating a fair, open, and sustainable ecosystem where the best AI models and services can evolve without being captured by the interests of a single corporation — and where everyone can participate in their governance and use.

Paradigm holds 19M HYPE ($800M+) with a $16.46 avg entry.
They just consolidated everything to new wallets right before the SONN shareholder vote.
The question: is this their exit liquidity or are they doubling down on Hyperliquid?
Let me explain the setup:
SONN is a failed (revenue was $18,626 in fiscal year 2024) biotech company trading on NASDAQ. In July 2025, they announced an $888M merger to become "Hyperliquid Strategies" - basically a publicly traded HYPE accumulation vehicle.
The plan:
- Get ~16.89M HYPE tokens from contributors ($744M)
- Raise $305M cash
- Buy $265M+ more HYPE
- Ticker changes to PURR
Become one of the largest public HYPE holders in America.
Here's the genius (or the concern):
On-chain, you see every token sale immediately. Paradigm dumps HYPE? Everyone knows.
But stock sales? Much harder to track. Paradigm could contribute HYPE, get PURR shares, then quietly dump on American retail through traditional markets.
The perfect exit disguised as institutional adoption.
Or... they're actually committed.
Maybe Paradigm sees this as the bridge between TradFi and DeFi. A way to bring massive retail capital into HYPE through regulated markets while they maintain long-term exposure.
November 18: shareholders vote on the merger.
If approved, SONN becomes PURR and starts accumulating HYPE. If Paradigm contributes their stack, they'll hold major equity in a publicly traded crypto company.
What they do with those shares determines HYPE's 2026.
This is the most interesting game theory setup in DeFi right now.
Paradigm sitting on $400M+ profit, a public company desperate to pivot into crypto, and perfect exit liquidity disguised as institutional adoption.
OR
A genuine long-term commitment. To eventually House All Finance.
We'll find out soon enough.
Smart contracts today can only access and interact with what already exists onchain.
They can't query APIs, fetch real-time data from the Internet or generally access and interact with Web2 applications.
But with Ritual they can, using ❖ Network Calls ❖
Had a call with a prominent TON ecosystem builder who's jumping ship to Hyperliquid.
He's frustrated with TON's reality: ALL dapps combined generate just $15-20K daily fees (verified on DefiLlama). Projects are bleeding out.
Now he's exploring HyperEVM. Asked about grants and foundation money but… plot twist: we don't have any. No insider deals. No handouts.
You want funding? Build something so compelling that HYPE whales (rich from the airdrop) throw money at you.
Get ready for some wild new experiments on HyperEVM. Will keep you posted when he ships 👀
The future isn't tokenized slop.
It's infrastructure that supercharges entirely new types of onchain applications.
Thoughts from @redphone + @sanlsrni 🎧👇
Researchers create benchmarks that decide AI model worth, yet capture 0 value from their work.
Evault uses Ritual's TEE infra for ❖ verifiable evaluations ❖ where creators monetize their expertise.

Bitcoin gave us sovereign money.
Ethereum made it programmable.
Solana made it scale.
And now Ritual makes it infinite.
Here’s why it’s the last blockchain you'll ever need ↓
“At Stable, we are building a Stablechain to close the gap between scale and usability,” shared our CEO @mehler in @dynamic_xyz’s Stablecoin Playbook 2025, which highlights Stable’s approach to building dedicated payment rails.
In a few years there will be no difference between on- and offchain.
The question isn't if this happens — it's who builds the infrastructure to make it possible.
Join @sanlsrni and @redphone as they explore how Ritual unlocks this future.
