The math that secures blockchains is moving into AI. FlashProve uses a hash-based zkSNARK to prove which model wrote an answer. Still a research prototype: ~70-95x GPU overhead, 1,024-token limit. Early, but the right direction.

New Anthropic research: progress on provable inference for large language models.
Here, we introduce FlashProve. Building on established cryptographic techniques, FlashProve allows developers to verify whether a given response came from a given AI model. It’s substantially more efficient than prior open-source methods for doing so.
These proofs have a range of applications. They can, for instance, make it harder for attackers to hijack a chat, or enable safety evaluators to verify that the model they’re testing is the same one being served to customers.
For our full write-up, see here: anthropic.com/research/prova…
Further progress in provable inference will likely be an important part of improving trust in AI deployment. To that end, we're open-sourcing FlashProve’s code, here: github.com/anthropics/FlashP…
We’re grateful to our collaborators: Alessandro Chiesa, @GiacomoFenzi, @gwberg95, @miranda__christ, Rahul Dalal (rdalal.github.io) and Ben Mayer (@transmissions11).
Great to work with Binance wallet previously.
The Binance Alpha Box is now live!
This event uses the updated Alpha Box model, with the airdrop pool consisting of tokens from two projects: Yei Finance (CLO) and Bitlayer (BTR). Users holding at least 245 Binance Alpha points can claim one token airdrop on the Alpha Events page.
Upon claiming, users will be placed into different reward tiers and receive one of the following rewards: 467, 583, or 1666 CLO tokens; 560, 700, or 2000 BTR tokens. Rewards are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
If rewards are not fully distributed, the points threshold will automatically decrease by 5 points every 5 minutes.
Please note that claiming the airdrop will consume 15 Binance Alpha Points. Users must confirm their claim on the Alpha Events page within 24 hours; otherwise, it will be deemed that users have given up claiming the airdrop.
SEC Proposes First Crypto-Specific Offering Framework
The SEC just proposed Regulation Crypto Assets — the first purpose-built framework for crypto offerings in U.S. history.
Two new exemptions: up to $5M (startup) and $75M (fundraising). Plus a safe harbor from the "investment contract" label once decentralization is achieved.
A decade of regulation-by-enforcement may be ending. 60-day comment period is now open.

5/ Why this matters for BTCFi: Bitcoin's base layer has now demonstrated — again — extreme resistance to scope changes. Complex logic, data-heavy applications, and programmability continue to move to Layer 2 solutions. The L1/L2 division of labor isn't a design choice — it's what the network keeps choosing.
Bitlayer × YPT Group🤝: Realizing the Full Potential of Bitcoin Infrastructure
Following the successful listing of Bitlayer’s governance token $BTR on major global exchanges, the Bitlayer ecosystem is accelerating its move into real-world applications.
Today, we’re proud to announce a strategic partnership with YPT Group, opening a new era of Crypto Card payments for our community.
Key highlights of the partnership:
🚀 Infrastructure-level integration: YPT will integrate deeply with Bitlayer’s Bitcoin L2 infrastructure, leveraging high-performance Layer 2 rails to deliver low-cost, high-efficiency asset transfer and settlement.
💳 Global payment access: Users will be able to apply for Visa and Mastercard virtual cards provided by YPT, with direct top-ups in $USDT.
💎 From yield to spending: Users can convert protocol yield earned from holding $yBTC in the Bitlayer ecosystem, or profits generated from trading $BTR, into $USDT and top up their cards with ease.
🛍 Spend anywhere: From paying for subscriptions like ChatGPT and Netflix to shopping at millions of merchants worldwide, Bitlayer is making it possible to truly “Spend Crypto Like Fiat.”
Powered by the strong liquidity of $BTR and YPT’s payment network, Bitlayer is bringing Bitcoin-backed assets one step closer to becoming an everyday currency for real-world use. 🚀
