[florentina57 | 🌎 ValidAndina 🏔️ @validandina]

Dear nominators, thank you for your continued support 🤩

Please be advised that both active "🌎 ValidAndina 🏔️" @kusamanetwork nodes will now be located in Bogota, Colombia instead of 1 in Lima and 1 in Bogota. 1/4

[florentina57 | 🌎 ValidAndina 🏔️ @validandina]

Dear nominators, thank you for your trust and support.
Today is the last day "🌎 ValidAndina 🏔️ LIM 🇵🇪 DOT" will be in the active set.
If you would like to continue supporting ValidAndina nodes in LATAM, please consider nominating "🌎 ValidAndina 🏔️ BOG 🇨🇴 DOT" instead. 1/3

Most developer experiences begin with friction:
Install this. Configure that. Read the docs.

At Web3 Summit 2026, Playground . dot starts differently.

Start with a working app. Modify it. Experiment. Deploy your own version in ~30 mins.

Decentralized hosting. Data. Domains. Private accounts by default.

Parity engineers will be on hand to guide and help, but the idea is that even a total novice could deploy a fully decentralized app.

Build. Deploy. Vote. Climb the leaderboard.

[Pala Labs @pala_labs]

In 2010, Steve Jobs argued that privacy means people understand what they're signing up for.

In 2026, that standard feels almost revolutionary.

Most users don't know:
• What data is collected
• How long it's stored
• Who receives it
• How AI systems use it

The internet normalized invisible data collection.
AI risks normalizing invisible data processing.

Transparency isn't created through longer privacy policies.

It comes from giving people clear information and meaningful choices about how their data is used.

Privacy isn't just about protecting data.
It's about enabling informed consent.

[Parity Technologies @paritytech]

Bulletin Chain is a specialized storage chain in the Polkadot ecosystem.

Data is submitted via authorized extrinsics, indexed with Blake2b-256 hashes, and retrievable by content hash from IPFS or directly from the node.

Storage expires after the retention period. Renew it if you need it. Let it go if you don't.

Store static sites, media assets, and application data with built-in availability and censorship resistance.

Not everything needs to live on-chain forever.

[Nova Spektr @NovaSpektr]

Updates to the Signing Path feature and more are here in the new Nova Spektr v2.10.1!

This latest update improves Multisig operations, wallet deletion flows, ensures that draft transactions have their account balances validated before submission, and a whole bunch more.

[Parity Technologies @paritytech]

Full nodes verify every state transition and store the entire chain history. That's significant overhead for most applications.

Polkadot's light clients verify state using only cryptographic proofs and block headers.

A mobile wallet built with PAPI and smoldot verifies account state through Merkle proofs against block headers. Verification happens inside the app itself. No third-party node. No infrastructure to run or trust.

• Works across multiple chains simultaneously.
• Runs inside the application itself.
• Minimizes trust by default.

Secure blockchain access without the overhead.

Rachel-Rose O’Leary (@lunar_mining) gets to the heart of it.

It’s about replacing architectures of control with infrastructure for privacy, resilience, and civic agency.

[Zodl (fka Zashi) @zodl_app]

Attention Zodl users: Orchard-related transactions are temporarily unavailable while Zcash miners complete the network upgrade. Please expect limited Zodl functionality.

The following features are currently unavailable:
• Swaps to and from ZEC
• Sending Orchard shielded funds
• Receiving Orchard shielded funds
• Shielding transparent funds

You can still receive funds to your Zcash Transparent Address and Zcash Shielded Address via Sapling.

Your funds remain safe. Your privacy is unaffected. No action is required.

We expect normal operation to resume once the upgrade is complete at approximately 23:00 EDT.

Questions? DM @zodl_support or [email protected]

There are rooms where the conversation moves faster than anywhere else. The Louvre salon at @ProofofTalk is one of them.

Tomorrow, Parity's VP of Engineering @pierreaubert sits down with @ChiZhangData, @provenauthority, and @StuartHaber to ask the hard questions:

How do we prove who is actually behind every interaction when AI agents start acting, transacting, and communicating on behalf of people?

Personhood, Provenance, and Verification in the Agentic Age.

[Polkadot @Polkadot]

AI agents are only as good as the context they can access.

With Polkadot’s official MCP server, builders can connect AI tools directly to trusted ecosystem documentation and build with accurate, up-to-date knowledge.

[Web3Privacy Now @web3privacy]

We have a dream that multidisciplinary people from different fields will come together via the Neo-Cypherpunk Summit in Berlin 🇩🇪

1 day of incredible 70 thinkers from @torproject to @ethereumfndn 📢

1000 individuals curious about anti-Big Tech, democracy, open-source software, privacy, and freedom ✊

Diverse subjects from encrypted messengers to politics of Gen AI, across solidarity movements & decentralised socials.

We have a dream, and we are making it real: https://t.co/8BeXwwEctF

In 2014, Gavin Wood wrote the blueprint for a web where people own their digital lives. Not platforms. Not governments. People.

Parts of the space lost sight of that.

This June, Parity CEO @gavofyork returns to Web3 Summit to share his vision for the next decade of a free internet.

See you in Berlin.

I built a staging area for OpenGov referenda to prove a point:

Anyone can improve the user experience of Polkadot with smart contracts.
You don't have to be a core developer or insider, no gate-keeping. 1/8

[Web3 Philosopher @seunlanlege]

Hyperbridge V2 is online, chugging along slowly. Fully decentralized, reborn as an interoperability hyperstructure.

Pallet-sudo is gone, provers are incentivised by the treasury, collator selection is based on reputation tokens & protocol changes are downstream from governance

[Parity Technologies @paritytech]

Most blockchains ask validators to see everything.
ELVES changes that.

The research team at @Web3foundation built ELVES so that a random subset of validators can verify each block, rather than the full set, unless needed. Each validator does less work, but the network as a whole does more.

Smaller validation surface.
More throughput per set.
Same security. Higher throughput.

The result is a system that scales without asking every validator to carry the full load.

Pierre Aubert, our VP of Engineering (@pierreaubert), is speaking at @proofoftalk this June.

Taking place at the magical Louvre, Paris, where 2,500 leaders will convene. There are no ‘pay to speak’ ops at Proof of Talk; every voice in that room earned its place.

Pierre has spent his career building systems that actually work at CERN, Google, and now Parity. The focus now is on turning blockchain infra into something people can use without complexity.

If you're lucky enough to have secured your ticket, make sure not to miss this one.

[Bifrost - Staking Yield Layer @Bifrost]

Bifrost has submitted Ref #268 to begin the repayment process for @Polkadot Treasury Proposal #1020.

Over the past 12 months, the 1,000,000 DOT liquidity loan generated 53,185.39 DOT in interest, achieving a blended APR of 5.318%.

Bifrost is now withdrawing from the DOT-vDOT LP, unstaking vDOT, and returning the interest to the Polkadot Treasury.

The loan helped deepen vDOT liquidity, expand DOT staking utility across DeFi, and support broader adoption across the Polkadot ecosystem.

This is exactly how treasury-backed capital should work: productive, transparent, and accountable to the community.
