GPT-5 was rolled out in less than a week, highlighting how centralization can quickly make our "AI friends" disappear overnight (even Sam needs to create an apology announcement for that). I remain convinced that decentralized intelligence is the next evolution after finance. It’s not merely an alternative to centralized AI but the primary path forward. As @mtorygreen mentioned, this shift is inevitable. It's about scaling trillions of decisions in a borderless and permissionless manner, not just transferring money. If liberating the finance sector was the prologue, decentralized AI should be the ultimate goal we've been striving to achieve. h/t @arstechnica

The recent U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) figures have just been released, triggering over $1 billion in sudden market liquidations. The results exceeded expectations, significantly impacting the probability of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September, which has now dropped to 35% due to persistent inflation trends—though these may prove transitory. U.S. PPI figures: ➤ PPI MoM: +0.9% (Expected: 0.2%) ➤ PPI YoY: +3.3% (Expected: 2.5%) ➤ PPI Core MoM: +0.9% (Expected: 0.2%) ➤ PPI Core YoY: +3.7% (Expected: 3.0%) Current U.S. CPI figures: ➤ Inflation MoM: +0.2% ➤ Inflation YoY: +2.7% (Expected: 2.8%) ➤ Core Inflation MoM: +0.3% ➤ Core Inflation YoY: +3.1% (Expected: 3.0%) h/t figures @Investingcom

Silo is far from stopping. ⟶ @SonicLabs 400,000 $S investment ⟶ @avax Fresh grant Just imagine, what will be the next? 👀

Almost all DeFi yields are unsustainable. But what if we could change the game entirely and even create a new primitive? That's why today we are talking about @PeapodsFinance. Let's dive in 🫛

➥ Gud T.E.K = Turtle, Euler and Keyring We all love @turtledotxyz and I think we can agree that you want to get as much boost as you could. So let's see the @eulerfinance Prime Strategies and @KeyringNetwork Vault. — Euler Prime Strategies ➤ Depositing into the strategies grants you a 15% increase in $rEUL from the Turtle boost. ➤ You can also earn Turtle Points ⟶ $TURTLE ➤ To optimize the yield and points, consider using Euler's Multiply feature for loop-leveraging (up to ~180% APR) ➤ Since the strategies primarily involve stable pairs $USDC or $USDT, the risks are relatively low for high leverage. -- — Keyring zkVerified Vault ➤ The idea of zkVerified vault is that only verified participants can privately access optimized liquidity distribution through Keyring's zkVerified infrastructure and Keyring Extension, all anonymous without revealing the identity. ➤ The vault is built on @avax with 6,500 TPS and instant-finality ➤ $3M+ total incentives are allocated to this vault from various project such as Turtle, Keyring, Euler, Avalanche, @multiplifi, @merkl_xyz, @PythNetwork and many more.

RT @eli5_defi: One of the AI protocols I've been monitoring just went live on @KaitoAI. But what is @Everlyn_ai? ➤ A purpose-built Layer…

While you're celebrating $ETH's all-time high, the crypto world just witnessed a $6 billion network being dominated by a $300 million upstart. What happened: ➢ @_Qubic_ offered miners up to 3× @monero’s payouts. ➢ Massive miner shift → Qubic hit 52.72% hashrate (3 GH/s). ➢ Ran a “selfish mining” demo. ➢ Withdrew after showing it could dominate. ... Monero (XMR) ➠ privacy-first PoW coin mined mostly on CPUs. Qubic (QUBIC) ➠ AI + “useful proof-of-work” mining model. Qubic is a project focused on AI and "useful proof-of-work" (uPoW). Instead of just mining for rewards, Qubic uses mining power for AI tasks when it's not busy, and it mines other coins like Monero's $XMR to make money. They then sell the mined Monero to buy and "burn" (permanently remove) $QUBIC tokens, which can drive up QUBIC's price. Maybe more detailed on why Qubic attack affect Monero. Why did it happen? Higher payouts ⟶ Miners switch ⟶ Qubic > 51% ⟶ Selfish mining demo ⟶ Exposed decentralization risk Results: A 6-block reorg happened when Qubic mined 6 blocks in secret and dropped them all at once, replacing other miners’ blocks. No consensus takeover as it just part of experiment, but it showed how much power a single pool can have over the network. ... Now we can understand the implications of a 51% attack on the blockchain. It occurs through sophisticated strategies that lure miners, enabling attackers to dominate and control the hashrate. While Proof of Work (PoW) might be the most robust and secure economic model, its decentralization is only as strong as its miners. This situation illustrates how swiftly that balance can be disrupted through shift of incentives.
