The concept of combining blockchain, AI, and gaming is gaining traction, resulting in novel game designs and gameplay experiences. This thread details how games use AI agents for competitive gaming and token gathering for users. Upstreet AI offers a virtual world with user-deployable AI agents and procedural questing. Modulus Labs used the Leela chess engine in cooperative gameplay. The intersection of these three technologies opens an unexplored design space that will revolutionize gaming.
This article discusses a bug that led to nine slots missing in the bloXroute max profit relay system, using the incident to examine the role of relays and how enshrined proposer-builder separation fits into such scenarios. ePBS wouldn't have prevented the bug and in the worst cases, it could revert back to the existing trust model. The best-case scenario for ePBS facilitates faster and trustless proposer payment.
Eigenlayer’s recent traction has sparked a fresh debate over a phenomenon called rehypothecation. The Eigenlayer platform aims to help other applications leverage the security of Ethereum rather than having to bootstrap their own, raising concerns about altering Ethereum's consensus layer. This post makes the case for a collaboration between Eigenlayer and Rocket Pool, a decentralized Ethereum Proof of Stake pool, to mitigate any risk to the protocol.
The Bitcoin Power Law, a predictive model for mapping out Bitcoin's price trajectory was developed by former physics professor Giovanni Santostasi. The model suggests a consistent pattern of growth, projecting a price of $210,000 in January 2026 and a long-term price of $1 million by 2033. Critics warn about models like this that create unrealistic investor expectations as financial markets are inherently unpredictable.
