Binance has announced that its platform, Binance Alpha, will launch Dill on September 19th. Eligible users can redeem airdrops with Alpha Points through the Alpha Events page once trading is open. [Project Background] Dill ($DL) is a Layer 1 mainnet established in 2024, co-founded by Ted and investors. The project is positioned as a highly scalable EVM-compatible chain capable of supporting up to 800,000 transactions per second. Based on a two-layer consensus mechanism, it plans to mobilize over one million validators to ensure network security. The team believes that only through scaled infrastructure and rigorous economic design can the large-scale adoption of decentralized applications be truly promoted. This is also why Dill emphasizes "alignment of user, developer, and network benefits" when designing token economics and ecosystems. [Funding Status] Dill completed a Pre-Seed funding round in July 2024, marking the project's first public fundraising since its inception. According to public information, this round was led by Find Satoshi Lab and attracted participation from multiple institutions and well-known angel investors, including Modular Capital, Pendle co-founder TN Lee, Manta co-founder Victor Ji, and well-known crypto industry investors Santiago Roel Santos and Saku, among others.

There is an interesting new idea around privacy that just landed on my desk. As I read it, the main arguments of the FAIR whitepaper revolve around addressing the fundamental flaws of current blockchain technology and introducing a new solution to overcome them.Core Problems with Existing BlockchainsThe paper identifies three major issues that prevent blockchains like Ethereum from reaching their full potential:MEV is a critical flaw that allows malicious actors to profit by reordering, censoring, or manipulating transactions. This creates unfair markets and erodes user trust, siphoning over $1 billion annually.The public nature of transactions makes it impossible for sophisticated financial strategies, AI agents, and enterprises to operate securely, as visibility leads to vulnerability.Existing networks often treat privacy and MEV as afterthoughts, compromising decentralization and limiting innovation. This has trapped trillions of dollars in potential capital off-chain.FAIR's Solution: The Proof of Encryption (PoE) BlockchainFAIR proposes a new Layer 1 blockchain built on Proof of Encryption (PoE) to solve these problems. PoE is a consensus-level innovation that ensures transactions are fully encrypted before they are finalized and are only decrypted after they are immutably committed to the blockchain. This is achieved through the BITE (Blockchain Integrated Threshold Encryption) protocol.Key features of this approach include: 🛑 MEV-Resistance: By encrypting transaction data and recipient addresses, PoE makes it impossible for "MEV searchers" to front-run or censor transactions based on their content. The "commit-then-reveal" two-phase execution model ensures fairness by finalizing the transaction before its content is revealed.🤫 Built-in Privacy: PoE provides end-to-end encryption, ensuring that transaction details are inaccessible to validators or other network participants until after they are committed to the chain. This enables privacy-preserving smart contracts and secure, confidential operations for businesses and AI agents.👨‍❤️‍👨 Seamless Integration: FAIR is EVM-compatible and utilizes an advanced C++ EVM to handle encrypted transactions. The encryption process is designed to be transparent to existing wallets and developer tools, requiring no changes to standard Ethereum-based workflows.The whitepaper argues that by embedding privacy and fairness directly into its core consensus layer, FAIR unlocks a new era of on-chain activity. This includes:🔗 MEV-Free Financial Coordination: Enables new DeFi strategies like encrypted limit orders, confidential tokens, and on-chain banking without the risk of front-running or strategy leakage.🤖 Agentic AI Infrastructure: Provides a secure environment for autonomous AI agents to operate and coordinate without revealing their internal logic or strategies.📫 Encrypted Enterprise Coordination: Allows businesses to securely run processes like payroll, supply chain logistics, and compliance checks on a public blockchain while maintaining data privacy and confidentiality.📰 Well I do think addressing these problems is crucial, but the approach fair is taking doesn’t seem complete to me. There are a number of issues in Ethereum that even this solution does not address. Happy to learn more though.

🚨 New Proof of Vision out today: In this 28th PoV episode, we had @jlldavies, Co-founder and CEO of @PascalClearing Pascal is a universal clearing layer for DeFi, built to solve the sector’s chronic overcollateralization and lack of portfolio margining. Beyond a single app, Pascal provides the shared infrastructure that nets exposures, offsets risk, and enforces transparent collateral logic, unlocking capital efficiency, enabling RWAs and derivatives, and giving protocols, DAOs, and traders the same clearing power that underpins TradFi markets. In this episode, we explore James’ journey from TradFi trading and high-frequency systems into crypto, and how Pascal Protocol is building a universal clearing layer to unlock capital efficiency in DeFi. We dive into what clearing really means, why it matters, and how Pascal’s approach enables portfolio margining, more efficient use of collateral, new products including RWAs and more. Have a listen 👇 ⏲ Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 03:08 - James Background 07:44 - What is Clearing and why is it important? 09:53 - What inefficiencies exist without a clearing layer on exchanges? 13:44 - Clearing Helps Traders 15:36 Monetization & Jetstream go-to-market 20:00 - With Which of the Two Main Exchange Models Does Pascal Work? 23:45 - Which Market Makers Interested in Pascal 27:15 - Which Chain Does Pascal Uses? 31:10 - Why did they choose EVM vs SVM? 34:00 - How can Pascal help bring RWAs on-chain and manage liquidations? 38:00 - Pascal and decentralization 40:43 - Pascal Token TGE, utility and more

How do we get the next billion people onchain? @santiagoroel’s answer: instead of waiting for new Web3 apps, acquire traditional businesses and make them more efficient with blockchain. @inversion_cap’s vision needs sovereign blockspace, high throughput & EVM compatibility making Avalanche where capital connects with adoption at scale.

Tech Talk Pills 💊 DeFi on Solana is maturing fast, but most devs still build on Ethereum. Starting from zero keeps most dApps stuck under the EVM L2 ceiling, never breaking into internet capital markets. Neon changes that: EVM compatibility, straight into Solana’s high-performance base layer. No extra steps. Code in Solidity, deploy on Solana. @OpenBitLab explains:

Is the New Public Chain with Millions of TPS a True Dark Horse or a Marketing Bubble? On September 2nd, the high-performance L1 public chain Somnia announced the launch of its mainnet, claiming to have completed 10 billion transactions on the testnet, and simultaneously launched its native token SOMI, which was listed on major exchanges such as Binance and Bybit upon launch. Behind it is the British unicorn Improbable, as well as the indirect endorsement of capital such as SoftBank and a16z. However, the dazzling capital halo contrasts sharply with the community's doubts. Somnia's core narrative is "million-level TPS". Its technology relies on two major designs: multi-stream consensus mechanism (splitting transactions into parallel data chains, and then quickly confirming them by the consensus chain) and accelerated sequential execution (compiling EVM bytecode into high-performance local machine code). In theory, it can alleviate parallel conflicts and achieve extremely high throughput. However, the actual data is far lower than advertised: Chainspect recorded a peak TPS of only about 25,000 on the testnet, which is still high-performance, but far from the million TPS. In the testnet's 10 billion transactions, a considerable part is also concentrated in individual applications, such as the game Chunked, which alone contributed 250.00 million transactions. On the first day of its launch, Somnia's performance was not impressive. There were only 68,000 active users, and about 256,000 transactions in 24 hours, far below its claimed capabilities. The total supply of SOMI tokens is 1.00 billion, with an initial circulation of 160.00 million, and a deflationary mechanism of 50% Gas burn is designed. However, the price quickly fell from a high of $0.66 USD at launch to $0.42 USD, and is currently hovering around $0.48 USD, with a total market value of approximately $480.00 million USD. More troublesome is that Somnia "crashed" during the airdrop phase. Many early users who participated in tasks, completed KYC, and even paid fees were disqualified, and the Chinese community was particularly dissatisfied. Even if you get an airdrop, only 20% is unlocked at TGE, and the remaining 80% still needs to complete complex tasks to be released. As a result, official social platforms are full of doubts, and community sentiment has deteriorated sharply. In terms of capital and resources, Somnia does not lack momentum. Improbable has pledged $270.00 million USD in funding support for it, and there are already more than 70 projects in the early stage of the ecosystem, mainly concentrated in the chain game direction, and a $10.00 million USD grant program has been launched. However, in the industry context where high-performance narratives have gradually become aesthetically fatigued, it is difficult to maintain attention only by relying on technical parameters if there is a lack of blockbuster applications. Somnia may be the "next fastest public chain" or another capital-driven marketing bubble. Whether its future can run out depends on three points: whether the technology can be realized in real scenarios, whether the community rift can be repaired, and whether it can incubate applications that truly attract users.

Bitcoin programmable project Hemi announces completion of $15.00M financing, led by YZi Labs, etc.

Bitcoin programmable layer project Hemi completes $15.00M financing round, led by YZi Labs, etc. According to The Block, Bitcoin programmable layer project Hemi has completed a new round of financing of $15.00M, led by YZi Labs, Republic Digital and HyperChain Capital, with participation from Breyer Capital, Big Brain Holdings. The project's total financing has reached $30.00M and will be used to advance the development of a network that integrates Bitcoin security with Ethereum smart contract functionality. This round of financing will support its ecological expansion and subsequent token generation activities. The core of the Hemi stack is the Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM), which is designed to embed complete BTC nodes into the EVM, enabling operations such as lending and asset portfolio management on the Bitcoin network through cross-chain "tunnels" and proof-of-consensus mechanisms. Co-founder Jeff Garzik (early BTC core developer) said that Bitcoin does not need to be reconstructed, but needs supporting tools to unlock its potential. The project claims to have over 100,000 verified users and 400,000 community members, and has integrated or cooperated with more than 70 projects such as Sushi, LayerZero, and MetaMask.

Ripple’s Master Plan: Finance, But On-ChainWelcome to another episode of Web3: Markets Gone Wild.- Just as Senator Lummis is predicting a Bitcoin boom, a whale decided to offload 24,000 BTC, triggering a flash crash. Don’t worry, they’re still holding $17B worth of Bitcoin (diamond hands? paper hands? you decide).- Meanwhile, XRP reclaimed $3 (August 24) and officially broke into the top 100 global assets by market cap. Not bad for a coin CT declared “dead” about 17 times this year.But the real story? Ripple’s been cooking something bigger than price action.Ripple Is Building a “Full-Stack Financial Services Firm”Crypto expert Omar (Dragonfly Capital) says Ripple has quietly evolved into a full-stack financial services company. Instead of just pushing payments, Ripple is now weaving together:- Credit (via Gemini partnership)- Stablecoins (RLUSD integration)- Payments and settlement infrastructure (Rail acquisition)- Brokerage services (Hidden Road deal)In other words: Ripple wants to be the everything app for finance, with XRP at the centre.The Gemini Credit DealFresh disclosures in Gemini’s IPO filing revealed Ripple struck a credit deal worth up to $150M:- Gemini can request loans of at least $5M each (up to $75M initially).- Once that cap is hit, loans can also be made in Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin.- Ceiling? $150M total.This puts Ripple in the position of not just moving money, but actually lending it out at scale.Ripple’s $200M Shopping SpreeRipple’s been on a shopping spree:- $200M acquisition of Rail: Expands real-world payment settlement for XRP & RLUSD.- Hidden Road brokerage deal: Gives Ripple prime broker services in crypto trading.- XRPL EVM integration: Expands tokenization, lending, and DeFi access for institutions.Together, all this is creating a TradFi-style financial stack, but on-chain.Where This Leaves XRP- Analysts (Ali Charts) are already speculating a run toward $3.60.- Ripple’s aggressive moves in credit, settlement, and stablecoins are making XRP harder to ignore as a real infrastructure play, not just a speculative token.- CT loves to clown on XRP, but the receipts show Ripple’s slowly building itself into a crypto-powered financial conglomerate.That’s today’s scoop. Bookmark it, pin it, or save it, because the next time someone tells you XRP has “no use case,” you’ll have the receipts.

📊 Ethereum reserve companies and spot ETFs now hold 2.95% and 5.13% of total supply, exceeding 8% combined. The largest $ETH holder, BMNR, has an average purchase price of $4,311.00 and is sitting on $304.00M in unrealized gains.Circle revealed details of ARC, a stablecoin Layer1 blockchain that will use USDC as its native gas token, launch a public testnet this fall, and be EVM-compatible, aiming to power enterprise-grade stablecoin payments, FX, and capital markets applications.Qubic, via its “Useful Proof of Work” (uPoW) mechanism, briefly controlled 52.72% of Monero’s hashrate (~3.01 GH/s) on Aug 12. The Monero community has launched resistance efforts, while Qubic claims it was a technical demonstration, not a malicious attack.

The stablecoin war has been upgraded from on-chain payment tools to enterprise-level financial infrastructure. This summer, giants such as Tether, Circle, and Stripe have entered the arena to build chains, attempting to reshape the underlying architecture of payment, settlement, and compliance networks with dedicated L1s. On its earnings call, Circle announced the launch of its stablecoin-native L1, Arc, which focuses on high performance, strong compliance, and EVM compatibility, positioning itself as a "global financial operating system" that supports cross-border payments, on-chain credit, capital market settlement, and other scenarios. Arc adopts a consortium chain design with regulated institutions as validators, sub-second finality, USDC and other stablecoins can be directly used as Gas, and it has a built-in foreign exchange engine and optional privacy features. The mainnet Beta is expected to launch in 2026. Tether has already taken the lead, launching two stablecoin chains, Stable and Plasma. Stable is also EVM-compatible, uses USDT as Gas, and offers zero-fee P2P transfers, making it more suitable for retail and micro-payments; Arc, on the other hand, is backed by Circle's compliance and transparent reserves, making it more suitable for multi-currency, cross-border capital flows. The two differ in terms of fees, target markets, compliance, and profit models. Another potential disruptor is Stripe. It is working with Paradigm to develop a payment-oriented L1 called Tempo and has acquired stablecoin infrastructure company Bridge and crypto wallet developer Privy for $1.10B, building a full-stack on-chain payment system from issuance and custody to settlement. The rise of stablecoin-specific chains means that issuers no longer rely entirely on general-purpose public chains such as Ethereum and Tron, but instead tailor the underlying network to meet the needs of payment, clearing, and regulation. However, self-developed L1s face heavy pressure from security, cold start of the ecosystem, and compliance, resulting in high costs and high risks; L2s based on mature public chains may become another efficient and low-risk path. The battle for stablecoin public chains has only just begun.

🚀 Circle’s Going Full-Stack with Stablecoins Fresh off a $1.2B IPO, Circle (the USDC folks) just unveiled Arc — an EVM-compatible Layer 1 built just for stablecoin finance. 💵 Here’s the twist: Arc uses USDC as the gas token. This means sub-second settlements, optional privacy, and built-in FX are all tuned for capital markets & cross-border payments. Why this matters: • ⚡ Payments infra: Stablecoin-native chain could slash costs & latency vs. ETH mainnet. • 🏦 Compliance-first: Optimized for regulated, enterprise use • 📈 Growth fuel: USDC supply is up 90% YoY to $65B — Arc could lock in that momentum. Stablecoins aren’t hitching rides on blockchains — they’re getting their own highways. What’s your take on this? 🧐
