We're not done shilling London events:
The day before Breakpoint doors open, in the same building: BlockZero, a community-led validator summit run by @ChainflowPOS and friends.
Small, high-signal, built around what it actually takes to run the network. Validators, request your seat.

Our new research moves us closer to letting anyone help secure BTC deposited on Alpen.
We survey permissionless challenging on Bitcoin & introduce polynomial soldering: a more scalable, efficient component for challenging the validity of proofs.

This is why infrastructure analysis on Solana matters. "Onchain" doesn't mean "decentralized."
We support projects with credible paths to decentralization. It's not about where you start, it's about whether you have a transparent plan to get there.

We don't run every blockchain that will have us. We run the ones whose incentive design we'd defend in public.
An independent, self-funded operator has one thing a venture-backed one doesn't: no reason to support a network it wouldn't recommend to a delegator. 🌞
