Love seeing this.
Funny thing, USDC for all transactions was an idea inspired while working on @StationWallet
Still seeing echos of @terra_money 's positive impact. Can't wait to see where the @verona_dev team takes this next.
Back in 2025, we were one of the first L1s to enable USDC for all transactions + gas fees.
Fast forward to now, we’ve launched verUSD being Verona USD, the dollar of the @verona_dev network.
with over $100M in commitments from more than 20 institutions and partners.
Beyond being native to several major blockchains, more than $60M in signed, committed revenue is already set to flow through verUSD as payments.
This really is the biggest announcement yet. Welcome the first stablecoin for AI agents.

Assemblers were faster at writing binary than humans were.
Compilers were faster at writing assembly than humans were.
AIs are faster at writing compiled languages then humans are.
Deal with it. There's still plenty left for you to do.
Any protocol engineers (Cosmos SDK / Golang) looking to build some cool stuff?

The reason to be a single-issue voter on crypto is not to 'pump your bags'. It's b/c crypto is key to reducing government power of all types. Voting for a pro-crypto candidate is the most anti-authoritarian political act you can do without risking prison.
It's not to pump bags. Crypto is freedom/dissident technology. I truly believe it is one of the most important counterbalances to government power. Although govt oppression will only make it more valuable and more effective in the long run, as an advanced society the U.S. should be promoting crypto, VPNs, privacy tech etc. because this is the very freedom tech Iranians, Chinese, North Koreans and others can use to push back against evil dictatorships & increase peace & prosperity across the world. Instead, the Democrat elite view it as a threat to their own power and are choosing the routes of those evil dictatorships. Just examine the terms of service of any sort of freedom-oriented application--the list of excluded nation states typically reads Iran, N. Korea, Cuba, China, and the United States. It's appalling that we are on that list.

I think I just discovered the silver bullet to solving (most) React hydration error issues 👇
feels a bit illegal though 😂 and might be prone to layout shifts?

Just a hop, skip and a jump for @cosmoshub @asteroidxyz CFT-20 inscriptions straight into @enterprise_dao @astroport_fi and beyond. Multiple bridges in development too. Ya love to see it 💫 Nice work @biglabseu
👀 In the Twitter Space below (start at 28:00) @0x7183 drops a bombshell: Big Labs @biglabseu is building a bridge that can move CFT-20s like $ROIDS from @cosmoshub to @terra_money 🤯
@delphi_labs crew is working on one as well, so we could soon be living in a world with multiple Asteroids bridges...
Nothing makes me happier.
For Asteroid Protocol to hit escape velocity, it must have a thriving ecosystem of infra, apps, builders and creators. This announcement is proof that they're out there... and that we're about to enter an entirely new era of liquidity for $ROIDS and the nearly 5,000 other CFT20s
Once you can bridge CFT20s, after all, you can deposit them straight into liquidity pools on @astroport_fi and offer up token incentives to anyone who LPs in the pool. The game is changing before our eyes ☄️

1/ Upgrade proposal v2.10.2 is live on Commonwealth:
commonwealth.im/terra/discus…
v2.10.2 fixes a rewards distribution issue with the Alliance module, upgrades PFM, enables WasmVm 1.5 features, and removes legacy code.
Another great launch from the @StationWallet team.
Thank you to the heroes behind the scenes who work tirelessly to get these apps live. The devs, docs team, devops teams, comms, and management.
No drama. No politicking. Just shipping.
2 down, 1 to go. Mobile is next.

With CosmWasm, we in Cosmos have our own reasons to use rust. I have been seeing a bigger push to use rust for more services outside of smart contracts: indexers, collectors, etc.
For those of you that develop with TS & Rust in Cosmos, do how do you feel about these points?
Here’s a good one youtu.be/kOFWIvNowXo?si=luAq…
