Last week, we attended Blockfest Africa (@NycanWeb3 @Liikeey), sponsored by @LitecoinVM , as part of its efforts to bring hard money and Web3 to the African market. We connected with builders, creators, industry leaders, and communities who share one goal: programming the silver. Great conversations, valuable connections, and a strong interest in what LitVM is building. Big thanks to @LitecoinVM for making this possible. Africa, we're just getting started Join the LitVM Africa community: t.me/LitVMAfrica

Tokenized finance is moving beyond the whitepaper. 🌍⛓️ Aviva Investors just launched a tokenized share class on the XRP Ledger. Source : fnlondon.com/articles/aviva-… As more financial assets move onchain, one question follows: what happens next? 🔮 Prediction markets bring a new lens to future outcomes. MidasPredict × LitVM — think beyond the asset.

For 2 days, @blockfestafrica brought together a room of founders, builders and investors who actually got to talk. Met a few builders in the hallway who shared what they’re building, got them to explore what’s possible on @LitecoinVM and shared some LitVM merch along the way. Always great to meet people from the crypto community IRL. #BlockfestAfrica2026

Faster transaction finality means more efficient lending and borrowing, quicker collateral management, and a smoother experience for users. Scalable infrastructure is essential for lending markets, where speed, reliability, and capital efficiency matter. A significant step forward for the LitVM ecosystem. ☕️
“We decided to integrate with Espresso because LitVM needs fast transaction finality. What’s new is the scale. Espresso’s capacity to handle one million transactions per second, all still finalized in under a second, means the base layer is the last thing we’ll worry about when Hard Money Web3 fam show up en masse.” — @circle_crypto, LitVM Co-Founder

The VIA Network is live on @LitecoinVM's LiteForge testnet. VIA connects 150+ chains using contract-to-contract messaging to move both tokens and data. This launch brings Bridged USDC to LitVM from CCTP-enabled testnets, backed 1:1 by USDC on Arbitrum. Apps building on LitVM can now access testnet USDC from CCTP-connected blockchains to build cross-chain applications.

VIA Labs: Supercharging LitVM’s Cross-Chain Layer 🔥 We’ve partnered with @VIA_Labs as an official cross-chain launch partner, bringing LitVM cross-chain messaging infrastructure and access to native $USDC. VIA connects 150+ chains via contract-to-contract messaging to move both tokens and data. As an official Circle partner, they implement Circle’s Bridged USDC Standard — with the VIA Router enabling direct USDC burns and mints across CCTP-connected networks. Lending markets, DEXs, yield vaults — any protocol on LitVM gets access to native USDC from day one. Not workarounds. Hard Money Web3 needs hard rails. VIA Labs delivers.

Espresso mainnet can now handle up to 1 million transactions per second. And finality stays under a second, even at that peak load. How we did it, and why it matters ↓
