We're excited to be supporting and working with Tycho Onnasch and the rest of the Zest team as they scale out Bitcoin lending, built atop Stacks. The progress they've made in the time we've known each other, and the way they've handled themselves is exemplary 👏 We're big believers in Bitcoin's inflection point from an idle store of value to a programmable settlement layer and Zest amplifies the potential network effects around BTC as a dynamic asset.

A great way to finish off TOKEN2049 in Dubai; engaging conversations with new and old friends alike. The energy was electric this week and it’s safe to say there’s a really impressive level of human talent already in and making moves across. The team ends the week incredibly excited by our mission and we’ll see you all soon!

In this article, we deep dive into the challenges we have observed with current distributed systems such as Ethereum and Cosmos. More particularly, the challenges that come with the current modular scaling approach, further we discuss other approaches to achieve more optimal results from first principle thinking, meaning speed, cost and liquidity flows. Solana has come a long way, but we believe there is room for great innovation in this space to enable new use cases and applications! https://lnkd.in/eFWHwp9q

As we witness AI surpass human judgment and intelligence, the challenge we face is not just technological but deeply philosophical: how do we align the agents of intelligence with our human values, ethics, and establish trust? We propose the use of cryptographic verification and game-theoretic equilibrium to construct secure trust systems for AI models to get closer in solving the alignment problem between AI and the sovereign human individual.
