$LIGHT is killing it on the market—today was a banger, going from $40M (FDV) --> $120M (FDV)

What really stands out is how the team’s engaging with the community—for me, that’s a huge green FLAG🔥

Its been a while since I’ve seen this kind of vibe. Big props to @peacefuldecay and @heavendex —this is legit serious stuff. Lets keep climbing those peaks on🫂

The growth in holders and volume shows that the project’s riding a massive wave of hype 💵🛒
--------------------------------------------------------
Also check out the stats for $LIGHT and @heavendex
over the past few days—where else do you see this kind of action in a market like this? It’s all thanks to the team’s hard work and the community’s support

✅Total volume all-time already at $60M
✅Total revenue of $600k
✅Created over 6,500 tokens on the platform
✅Bought back $1M worth of tokens and burned them
✅Nearly 7k holders

The sharp price spike to ~$0.125 came with explosive volume growth in the main @RaydiumProtocol

🔮7,200+ transactions in 24 hours
🔮Buyer and seller balance almost even ($3.7M vs $3.4M in volume)

This feels like organic activity with some hype mixed in (not a full-on bot pump, where you’d usually see >90% of trades from bots)

--------------------------------------------------------
The $LIGHT community is starting to take over Twitter with its activity, and I think we might soon be among the top leaders on @KaitoAI

We are gaining momentum fast thanks to the created tokens and community support. Some tokens are being made with a logo similar to @heavendex, which gives us a boost as the $LIGHT token — I'm still holding the bag!

Quantum Computing ❌ Bitcoin: Not "The End", but here's what you need to know!

1/ What happened

Google Quantum AI just published a new whitepaper yesterday with a finding that reframes the timeline:

Under 500,000 physical qubits – roughly 20x fewer than the "millions" cited in 2019 estimates – could be enough to break elliptic curve cryptography (ECC/secp256k1), the signature scheme protecting both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Estimated attack window: ~9 minutes per exposed public key, with a ~41% success rate against in-flight transactions – comparable to Bitcoin's 10-minute average block time.

Assets currently at risk: ~6.9M $BTC with already-exposed public keys, including 2.3M+ BTC that hasn't moved in years.

Google's projected danger milestone: 2029. No machine at this scale exists today, but the progress curve just got revised sharply upward.

2/ Insights you need to know

This is a peer-reviewed paper, published publicly, and Google is explicitly calling on the crypto industry to act now.

Worth noting: quantum computers powerful enough to break Bitcoin would also break banking infrastructure, government comms, email encryption – essentially the entire internet's security layer.
Yet Google focused their paper specifically on crypto. Make of that what you will.

The risk isn't distributed evenly either:
→ Regular holders still have time to migrate to quantum-resistant wallets once BIP-360 and PQC standards are finalized
→ Highest risk: wallets with lost private keys, deceased owners with no successors, and Satoshi's ~1M BTC – if those coins don't move when the upgrade path opens, that's probably the most reliable signal we'll ever get about whether Satoshi is still alive

One more detail worth flagging: Bitcoin's Taproot upgrade, which makes public keys visible by default, inadvertently expands the pool of vulnerable wallets.

3/ How I saw CT reacted

Initial reaction was pure FUD. Then key voices like CZ weighed in and sentiment shifted toward something more measured.

The nuanced read that came through: even with an upgrade path available, executing it in a decentralized system is genuinely hard.

→ Algorithm debates could lead to contentious forks
→ New cryptographic code introduces new attack surface
→ Self-custody users have to migrate manually – no one does it for them

The coordination problem is harder than the cryptography problem.

On the market side: quantum-resistant tokens pumped hard, some up 50%+ 👀

4/ My take

After reading through everything, I'm staying neutral on the drama: this is long-term risk management, not a short-term shock.

The good news is the ecosystem isn't standing still:
– BIP-360 already has a testnet running – quantum-resistant signature upgrade that reduces public key exposure on-chain
– Ethereum has been preparing for this earlier and more systematically
– Quality projects in the PQC category are still building: @QRLedger (the purest post-quantum native chain) and @Starknet (inherently quantum-resistant through STARK proofs)

Quantum computing wasn't designed to break Bitcoin. It was designed to solve problems classical machines can't handle.

But every major compute shift in history has forced a corresponding security upgrade, this is no different.

So here's what I'm actually doing, starting today:

→ Avoid address reuse – minimize how long public keys stay exposed on-chain
→ Track BIP-360 progress and broader PQC proposals closely
→ Allocate a small position into quality quantum-resistant projects – QRL and Starknet are the two on my watchlist

We're building a new financial system. For it to last, it has to survive the quantum era.

Whoever prepares early holds the edge!

@Margexcom At times like these, you can try to leave Easter eggs for participants to make them want to watch

Perhaps you can come up with something along these lines

[The Steyler @TheSteyler]

@Margexcom $ZEC is seeing heavier sell pressure after FUD about developers leaving the project

For now, Wave C targets are around the $200 area — we’ll reassess from there

Once daily divs start showing up and it’s time for a reversal, the FUD will flip into hopium as usual 🙂

$APT actually has a pretty clean structure — looks similar on both low TF and higher TF. Classic setup, honestly

Ofc, risks are still there, but based on the chart/post, it looks like a push to $2, then a retest, and if it holds — confirmation. Am ш reading this right?

[avery.apt 🇺🇸 @AveryChing]

It’s been >15 years since the launch of Bitcoin, and the market is more focused than ever on real products solving real problems for real people. Real-world adoption has early signs of success and will grow exponentially in the coming years.

In the past years since Aptos mainnet launch in 2022, we’ve built best-in-class infrastructure - the most scalable, fastest, and cost-effective blockchain ever created. We created products like Aptos Keyless to enable smooth Internet adoption and Geomi to accelerate builders. We made powerful strategic partnerships with builders to drive scale and adoption.

During these same years, we also rushed and messed up the airdrop. We focused on the wrong metrics, like TVL. Alongside many incredibly valuable strategic partnerships, we also made some bad business arrangements that didn’t deliver value to the ecosystem we were expecting. We have learned much from these mistakes, made significant leadership changes and have done a lot of clean up this year. Difficult, out of the spotlight hard work, but necessary. These necessary changes laid the groundwork and strengthened our ability to execute much more in the future.

My passion has always been the mission: unlocking financial freedom and financial equality. Historically, we’ve been conditioned to think of global equality in terms of the legal system and human rights. It’s not enough. Perhaps, the 1776 Declaration of Independence says it best that we are all “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” True global equality requires inclusive access to the world’s financial systems, from capital markets and money movement to wealth-management tools and stable stores of value. More powerful financial tools for everyone.

It can be odd to think of fair and equitable global trading as a societal accomplishment, but the opportunities are not equal today. IPOs and private funding have limited access. Many other investment strategies have limited access, especially globally. A global trading engine can be built on a highly-customized and decentralized technology stack. It can be accessible to all with all the rules and operations codified. It can offer fair features not found in any centralized market today - such as protection against front-running, sandwich attacks, and hidden costs. Trading tools like delta-neutral strategies can be available for anyone to deploy and understand. No more hidden agendas and a level playing field. Ultimately, everyone having the same access to financial markets, global currencies, investment opportunities, and more is going to change this world for the better. We’ll look back at this time as the path to how we unlocked financial freedom.

Our thesis-driven bets toward our mission are as follows:
* Equitable and advanced global markets: Decibel, incubated by Aptos Labs, is the first fully decentralized exchange that will match the Binance/Coinbase speed and ease of use. At the same time, Decibel is innovating with new trading primitives, user protections, assets, and markets. With a successful Testnet underway, Decibel is accelerating toward a Q1 Mainnet and will iterate on the product quickly.
* Next-gen cloud, data & AI: Shelby is the first hot decentralized storage protocol. It solves the data lifecycle challenge (i.e., hot, warm, cold) for AI use cases, creator use cases, and enterprise cloud infrastructure. Not only cheaper due to reduced egress fees when compared to traditional cloud infra, Shelby is cloud failure resistant, programmable, yet with full creator control.
* Aptos Internet expansion with Namespaces: Namespaces offers turnkey, tailor-made blockchain infrastructure built on Aptos’ proven tech stack for any bring any enterprise or institution to bring its users into crypto and expand the Aptos ecosystem, similar to the way the Internet was built. The new Archon architecture fully enables fast and reliable connectivity for namespaces internally and across them.

While it is still early for these products and protocols, the response from investors, partners, and the community has been strong and validating. Building the product vision, not just a tech narrative, is what sets Aptos apart. Our strategy is to deliver utility that drives organic revenue in every product and sustains the mission. This is a significant change to the previous years in how we have operated and we’ve been realigning and rebuilding for nearly a year now. The Aptos Foundation is working with us on how to best allocate resources to support these changes.

The market continues to evolve rapidly and APT isn’t reflecting the fundamentals, ecosystem growth or progress in the mission. I continue to hold every token that was granted to me as a co-founder because I believe it's the right thing to do to serve this mission. Not many founders can say that more than 3 years post token launch. Mission not yet accomplished. And while we’ve done a lot of learning from and cleaning up past mistakes, we will look at every option to ensure our mission will be sustainable and successful.

Looking back, we’ve learned from our mistakes, rebuilt, aligned, and are now executing on thesis-driven bets toward the mission. Our world-class team has never been as focused and effective as it is today. The world needs financial freedom and equality more than ever, especially in a world where AI is creating more information asymmetry and inequality. Let’s level the playing field for the future generations of humanity.

What's next after x402, the gap between technology & cognition, and open source this week.

First cut.

[dant1k @dant1kk]

Waiting for the launch of $grokipedia
This week.
Ilon promised a release in a week last Monday
When the announcement was delayed

Graphically I like how we at the last postponement, abruptly took out all the non-believers and left the believers the true $grokipedia fans

Expecting strong momentum on Monday's announcement

[Defiant L’s @DefiantLs]

Elon Musk’s xAI will launch Grokipedia this week, a new platform powered by Grok, with the goal of offering an alternative to Wikipedia which has been known for left-wing bias.

Grokipedia will provide true and unbiased information without any manipulation.

[Defiant L’s @DefiantLs]

Elon Musk announces Grokipedia V0.1 comes out on Monday 🔥

Grokipedia will be super-smart, open-source encyclopedia powered by AI to deliver clear, unbiased facts

Wikipedia is a thing of the past.

[dant1k @dant1kk]

$Grokipedia the moment when lies cease to work

@grok is not creating an encyclopedia. It is creating an antivirus against misinformation.
Every word is checked, every fact is verified.
When AI begins to see the truth, the world will no longer be able to lie

According to information from @elonmusk , the launch should start tomorrow

I decided to support and buy the project token. It is not yet officially associated with it, but the developer @DefiantLs is Elon himself.
I think they know each other and have interacted more than once in X

I want to test the product with truthful information
