Over the past few years, three different teams, Codex, Nomos, and Waku, have been building essential pieces of decentralised technology. Each had its own identity, its own community, and its own product roadmap. But underneath the different projects was one shared goal: to create a social movement and decentralised technology stack to revitalise civil society.

Today, they push their mission forward and chart a new path. Codex, Nomos, and Waku are unifying under one brand and one mission: Logos.

This consolidation represents the next step in a movement that’s been steadily growing with over 200 active contributors, 26 repositories, and 18 community chapters around the world. This unification under the Logos brand creates a single coherent technology stack that can grow and integrate together. 

For years, each project carved its own path:

• Codex built censorship-resistant, durable storage.
• Nomos created a private Layer 1 for sovereign, resilient coordination.
• Waku delivered privacy-preserving, peer-to-peer messaging at scale.

Running separately created silos and confusion about exactly how these three protocols can work together to deliver truly decentralised applications. By uniting under Logos, these once-separate pieces now form one clear, integrated technology stack for building a free and open internet. 

The Logos ecosystem provides developers with a modular, plugin-based runtime for building decentralised applications. Now, developers can leverage whichever tools best suit their needs and be confident that they are private by default. 

Speaking on the unification of the Logos technology stack, Jarrad Hope, Co-Founder of Logos, said:

“Integration unlocks impact. By unifying the technology stack under the Logos identity, we provide builders and communities with a direct path to a private, sovereign digital life without compromise.”

This consolidation comes at a time where the individual protocols for storage, messaging, and consensus are mature enough to create an ecosystem that is greater than the sum of its parts. Looking ahead, they plan to ship a “batteries-included” toolset that will allow anyone to build and operate sovereign digital infrastructure from the ground up.

Features of the Logos toolset will include:

• Broad public accessibility on day one.
• A high-quality developer experience and clear documentation. 
• Early native applications, built for real use-cases. 
• Liquidity pathways and distribution channels that reach non‑specialists. 

The priority is to deliver a functional, privacy-preserving network people can use immediately. Logos is targeting a public testnet in 2026 and mainnet in 2027.

According to the team, Logos is more than a technology stack. They are a movement for builders, explorers, and dreamers. They are pioneering a new era of freedom, as their mission is to restore agency, trust, and civic power by giving people tools to explore and innovate using decentralised technology.

Those interested in joining the movement ahead of the mainnet launch will have the chance to run a node and earn rewards for being early adopters of the network. More information on the Logos node programme can be found at: Logos – take action

The consolidation under Logos is a strategic move to better fulfill the movement’s mission. Through the Logos technology stack, individuals, communities, markets, and institutions will be empowered to operate on a voluntary, privacy-preserving foundation, thereby safeguarding their civil liberties and digital freedom.

About Logos

Logos is a decentralised collective movement that fosters action through local grassroots organising. They build technology empowering people to create resilient, sovereign coordination systems. Logos provides tools for free association, free speech, and self-governance. Their movement is shaped by shared principles cultivated through local meetups, online action groups, and global digital freedom campaigns, all driven by those who join them.

Supra, the vertically integrated Layer 1 powering MultiVM smart contract execution with native oracles, dVRF, automation, and cross-chain communication, announced today the opening of applications for its MultiVM testnet during today’s keynote at Devconnect Buenos Aires, held as part of Multichain Day. The announcement was delivered by Jon Jones, Co-Founder and Chief Business Officer of Supra, during a session exploring the future of interoperability and next-generation Web3 infrastructure.

This launch marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of dApp development, as Supra aims to offer EVM developers, in addition to MoveVM developers, a powerful new foundation to build, test, and deploy high-performance applications that can scale across ecosystems without compromising on security, composability, or liquidity. SolanaVM support is underway and is expected to be deployed early next year, making Supra the first L1 ever to support multiple virtual machines and execution environments from a variety of ecosystems. 

“We built MultiVM because we believe developers should never have to choose between innovation and access,” said Jones. “Supra aims to give teams the ability to write smart contracts in the languages of multiple virtual machines and deploy them into a fully parallelized environment, while also accessing native automation and cross-chain services, all within one unified infrastructure.”

The Supra MultiVM architecture empowers dApp developers to write smart contracts in either Solidity or Move, with SolanaVM support underway, tapping into Supra’s native services such as their 600+ built-in Oracle price feeds, cross-chain communications, and automation capabilities. This eliminates long-standing constraints that have forced projects to remain locked into Ethereum-compatible environments, foregoing access to interoperate with applications from other growing ecosystems. 

By unifying these environments with shared blockspace and a converged execution model, Supra’s MultiVM is poised to redefine what is possible in the multi-chain era. Supra aims to become a decentralized global super computer, and their thesis is that any such infrastructure should be able to run programs from a variety of programming languages.

A core component of their MultiVM design is SupraEVM, the network’s native EVM-compatible implementation. Built from the ground up with performance in mind, SupraEVM incorporates SupraBTM, a hybrid parallel execution engine capable of deterministic, conflict-aware scheduling. This enables significantly higher throughput and lower latency compared to all EVM chains in the industry, but without requiring developers to modify existing Solidity contracts.

SupraBTM has recently been benchmarked as the fastest parallel EVM executor publicly tested to date. Independent analysis confirms that SupraBTM outperforms emerging EVM projects such as Monad in high-conflict DeFi workloads, while maintaining verifiable safety and deterministic finality. In a bold move to further validate this claim, Supra’s Co-Founder and CEO, Joshua Tobkin, launched a $1 million public bounty, offering a reward to any team capable of beating SupraBTM’s performance by 15% or more in open, reproducible benchmarks.

“Too often, developers are forced to compromise between ecosystems. EVM devs feel the constraints of legacy performance, while Move developers remain isolated from the liquidity-rich Ethereum economy,” said Tobkin. “With MultiVM, Supra is collapsing the walls between ecosystems. Our vision is to provide a scalable foundation that allows applications to transcend technical silos and reach users wherever they are. With SupraBTM, we’re also proving that high performance and verifiability can coexist without tradeoffs.”

MultiVM on a Supra Testnet: Now Open for Applications

In a significant step to attract the best EVM talent to the Supra ecosystem, Supra has today opened applications for a considerable grant program. The program invites EVM developers seeking early access to the MultiVM Testnet environment, purpose-built to simulate mainnet conditions, to submit their best ideas and applications.

Selected projects will have access to nearly all of Supra’s complete developer stack, including:

• Full MoveVM and EVM compatibility (no code changes required for Solidity contracts)
• Vertically integrated services such as native oracles, deterministic verifiable randomness (dVRF), and event-driven automation, all live or coming soon to the SupraEVM
• Unified RPC infrastructure supporting both Move and EVM environments
• Tooling compatibility with Hardhat, Foundry, and Supra’s native CLI/IDE
• Upcoming support for VM-to-VM communication and composable automation across environments

The EVM grant program has been allocated $250,000 to the best talent on offer, and is designed to support innovative EVM-native projects deploying on Supra’s infrastructure. The program will fund up to 10 development teams, with each team eligible for up to $25,000 in milestone-based grants.

Each selected project will work closely with the Supra developer relations team to define technical milestones, deploy contracts on MultiVM infrastructure, and prepare for eventual mainnet integration in early 2026.

This initiative follows a wave of recent infrastructure developments from Supra, including the launch of the DevWire Hub, a new resource portal offering tutorials, CLI tools, RPC documentation, and weekly updates for developers building in Supra’s ecosystem.

Supra’s MultiVM strategy also includes long-term support for additional VM integrations beyond EVM and Move, with SolanaVM currently in development. This approach reflects a broader vision of universal Web3 composability, where developers can launch applications once, then reach users on any network without friction or fragmentation.

Accessing Supra’s MultiVM Infrastructure

Developers building high-performance dApps in Solidity are now invited to apply for Supra’s MultiVM Testnet and associated grant program. The program offers early access to Supra’s next-generation infrastructure, engineering support, and funding for projects that demonstrate strong technical merit and alignment with Supra’s multi-chain vision. Interested development teams may apply directly via the official application portal.

Buenos Aires, Argentina, November 18th, 2025, Chainwire

Today, the Filecoin ecosystem launched Filecoin Onchain Cloud, a decentralized cloud platform offering verifiable storage, fast retrieval, and fully onchain programmable payments. Early integrations are from the ERC-8004 community, Ethereum Name Service (ENS), KYVE, Monad, Safe, Akave, Storacha, Geo Podcasts, and more. The launch was announced at DePIN Day Buenos Aires, hosted by Fluence.

Centralized Outages Expose Crypto’s Dependence

Recent outages at major cloud providers have taken Web3 offline, underscoring its reliance on centralized infrastructure. Filecoin Onchain Cloud offers a verifiable alternative for builders seeking open, resilient systems.

New pressures are also straining centralized stacks. AI systems produce data at massive scale, governments dictate where it can reside, and onchain AI agents now need different infrastructure.

A Foundation for Verifiable Infrastructure

Filecoin Onchain Cloud meets that demand by expanding the Filecoin network into a programmable layer for verifiable cloud services, enabling developers to compose storage, retrieval, and payment logic onchain.

“Filecoin Onchain Cloud brings onchain guarantees like verifiability, programmability, and openness to cloud-scale infra services,” says Molly Mackinlay, CEO, FilOz. “With storage, retrieval, and payments that are all fully composable and auditable onchain, all Web3 dApps, agents, and infra networks can be truly unstoppable. Filecoin Onchain Cloud provides the building blocks applications need for a Cambrian explosion of onchain services powered by the global network of Filecoin service providers. Builders deserve a cloud built on proofs, not promises!”

Filecoin Onchain Cloud emerges from years of collaboration across the Filecoin ecosystem, uniting hot storage proofs, composable smart contracts, and onchain payments.

Filecoin Pin, its first developer toolkit, persists IPFS content on Filecoin through simple, accessible tools.

At launch, Filecoin Onchain Cloud introduces core services that form the base of a decentralized cloud, accessible through the Synapse SDK. Warm Storage keeps data online with onchain proofs, Filecoin Pay automates usage-based payments, and Filecoin Beam supports measured, incentivized retrievals. Together, they let developers compose, monitor, and monetize data services.

Early Integrations

Developers and teams are already experimenting with early integrations:

ERC-8004 / Agent0

ERC-8004 builders use Filecoin Pin to store agent identities and metadata verifiably onchain. Agent0 extends this by pinning all agent data to Filecoin, enabling tamper-proof discovery without centralized catalogs.

“Agent ecosystems depend on verifiable metadata,” said Marc De Rossi, author of ERC-8004 and creator of Agent0. “By pinning agent identity and reputation data on Filecoin Onchain Cloud, we can ensure that discovery and interaction between agents happens on tamper-proof infrastructure. It’s a huge step toward an open standard for verifiable AI.”

Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and Safe

ENS, Safe, and Filecoin Onchain Cloud form an onchain stack for deploying and governing trustless frontends, with ENS for naming, Safe for multi-sig control, and Filecoin Onchain Cloud for persistent, verifiable storage.

“Using ENS to give names for content and apps on the decentralized web has been possible since 2018,” said Simon Schmid, Developer Relations Lead, ENS Labs. “With Filecoin Onchain Cloud it is now possible to properly incentivize storage and availability at scale in a decentralized way. Super excited to see all the pieces coming together with Safe leading as an example of how it’s done,” 

Monad

Through the Monad AI Blueprint program, developers can seamlessly deploy Filecoin Onchain Cloud storage endpoints and build AI systems that are fast, self-verifying, and wallet-controlled.

KYVE

KYVE uses Filecoin Onchain Cloud to durably store Celestia and Story Protocol chain data across decentralized providers. After starting in the Arweave ecosystem, they’re expanding to Filecoin for greater scale and faster validator syncing.

“At KYVE, our mission has always been to make blockchain data permanent, verified, and accessible to everyone,” said Fabian Riewe, Founder, KYVE. “By leveraging Filecoin’s Onchain Cloud, we’re taking the next step, scaling from terabytes to petabytes of decentralized storage. This collaboration brings us closer to a truly universal data infrastructure for Web3.” 

Akave Cloud

Akave Cloud is using Filecoin Onchain Cloud to extend verifiable storage from hot workloads into a decentralized backup and archiving tier built for AI, IoT, ML, and compliance data that demands durable, auditable, affordable storage. 

“By uniting Akave Cloud’s high-performance, verifiable S3-compatible infrastructure with Filecoin Onchain Cloud’s global decentralized storage network and services, users will gain more flexibility and have the ability to optimize for cost, speed, and durability within a seamless, unified system,” said Stefaan Vervaet, CEO, Akave.

Storacha

Storacha’s Forge offers IPFS-compatible warm storage with onchain proofs of data possession. It provides high-throughput, auditable storage secured by Filecoin Onchain Cloud’s verification and payment rails.

“Storacha Forge is a new Filecoin Onchain Cloud service making verifiable warm storage radically affordable,” said Alexander Kinstler, CEO of Storacha. “At $5.99 per terabyte, Storacha Forge is built for the petabyte-scale data behind AI and DePIN. By building on the Filecoin Onchain Cloud, we combine cryptographic integrity with unmatched economics.”

Geo Podcasts 

Geo Podcasts is built on the Geo knowledge-graph protocol and helps users discover top podcasts. By storing its podcast data, images, and knowledge-graph records on Filecoin Onchain Cloud, Geo Podcasts ensures all information is verifiable across applications.

“We want to make sure that all of Geo’s knowledge graph data is open and available to all,” said Yaniv Tal, Founder, Geo. “Filecoin Onchain Cloud gives users guarantees that their knowledge data will stay around, giving them even more confidence to contribute to the Geo knowledge commons.”

An Open Foundation

Filecoin Onchain Cloud lays the groundwork for a verifiable cloud ecosystem and ongoing collaboration with the developer community will continue to grow the stack.

“Launching Filecoin Onchain Cloud is a huge milestone for the Filecoin network,” said Marta Belcher, President and Chair of the Filecoin Foundation. “FOC unlocks critical capabilities that will accelerate the Filecoin network’s mission to build a more open, resilient, and verifiable internet.”

Filecoin Onchain Cloud is live on Filecoin testnet today, with mainnet launch planned for January 2026.

LITS Is the First and Only US Publicly Traded Company to Gain Institutional Exposure to LTC, Holding 929,548 LTC Tokens.

Lite Strategy, Inc. (NASDAQ: LITS) (“Lite Strategy” or “LITS”) today reported results for its first quarter ended September 30, 2025, and highlighted recent corporate events related to the Company’s digital asset treasury strategy as well as its pharmaceutical operations.

“Our first quarter was incredibly successful for LITS. We launched our digital treasury strategy, positioning ourselves as the leading public holder of LTC, and updated our corporate profile to reinforce our new focus,” Board Member Charlie Lee said. “We recently celebrated Litecoin’s 14th anniversary and its unblemished track record of reliability and uptime. LITS provides investors the only US publicly traded company to gain institutional exposure to Litecoin, both for portfolio diversification and long-term value.”

“Fiscal year 2026 will showcase the results of the transformative steps taken by Lite Strategy. Since the start of our strategic alternatives process in fiscal year 2025, we have prioritized maximizing the value of our assets for stockholders. Starting with the successful sale of our clinical asset, ME-344 (now known as WE-868), currently being developed for adults with obesity at Aardvark Therapeutics, and continuing through the close of our $100 million PIPE offering in July 2025 that kicked off our Litecoin digital asset treasury strategy in the first quarter of this fiscal year,” said Jay File, CEO, CFO.

First Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 and Recent Highlights

• Raised $100 million in aggregate gross proceeds, commencing the Company’s long-term strategic plan with Litecoin as a digital asset treasury reserve asset.
• Officially became the first U.S.-listed public company to adopt Litecoin as a primary reserve asset with the acquisition of 929,548 Litecoin (LTC) tokens, implementing a new strategy built on a digital asset infrastructure and long-term capital innovation.
• Entered into a strategic partnership with GSR, a leading crypto investment firm, to guide LITS’ digital asset treasury strategy, ensuring robust governance, execution, and market expertise.
• Brought on world-class board members, Charlie Lee, creator of Litecoin, and Joshua Riezman, U.S. Chief Strategy Officer at GSR.
• Rebranded from MEI Pharma to Lite Strategy, including changing the Company’s corporate name and NASDAQ Stock Market ticker from MEIP to LITS, and unveiling a new corporate logo and website. The rebranding underscores the Company’s commitment to building a long-term corporate strategy around LTC as its primary reserve asset.
• In October announced a $25 million share repurchase program, advancing LITS from the initial phase of Litecoin accumulation to active capital market operations and allowing LITS to leverage our nearly 1 million LTC treasury – a key differential from passive investment structures like exchange-traded funds.

“As we progress further into fiscal year 2026, we continue to evaluate our clinical assets including the commencement of pre-clinical studies with voruciclib in non-oncology disease indications for potential licensing to third parties, and pursuing licensing or sale opportunities with zandelisib,” said Jay File. “We will consider opportunities to deploy our recently announced $25 million stock buyback program until our discount to NAV is normalized. We look forward to executing on all our corporate objectives as we progress through fiscal year 2026.”

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $12.21 million in working capital with no outstanding debt.

Fort Worth, Texas, USA, November 17th, 2025, Chainwire

HyperPlay Labs Inc., a leader in crypto, software distribution, and wallet innovation, will this week announce the launch of CoinFello at DevConnect in Buenos Aires, Argentina. CoinFello is the world’s first AI agentic app for using and automating any smart contract protocol. CoinFello provides users with a simple chat interface that can understand on-chain context, execute user intents, and automate smart contract interactions, all in plain language.

CoinFello combines the user’s wallet with a user agent that anticipates user needs to make crypto easy, fun, and safe, making way for mainstream users to onboard into DeFi. 

Built on both EigenCloud and the MetaMask Smart Accounts Kit, developed by Consensys, CoinFello ensures that users remain in full custody of their funds while interacting with CoinFello’s advanced AI LLM. CoinFello receives a delegation from the user’s existing MetaMask wallet (or can create a new MetaMask wallet directly within the CoinFello app). 

CoinFello enables MetaMask users to leverage an intuitive, intent-based system, solving many of the greatest user experience problems preventing the mainstream adoption of crypto, such as discovery of DeFi protocols that best meet a user’s needs, abstracting away the complexities of dealing with gas, explaining what smart contracts do in plain language, and automating cross-chain transactions. For example, CoinFello users can prevent liquidations by asking their assistant to automatically reallocate funds in case of black swan events, such as those seen in October 2025, where $1.7B+ worth of liquidations happened on Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks alone. 

“Self-sovereign AI solves many of the fundamental user experience problems for interacting with dApps and DeFi protocols,” said jacobc.eth, Founder and CEO of CoinFello and previous Lead of Operations at MetaMask. “CoinFello represents the first time that self-custodial DeFi can be truly accessible to mainstream audiences. We’ve created a user agent that can protect user funds, solve protocol discoverability, and simplify UX. We’re aiming to minimize risks while maximizing accessibility.”

Also describing the partnership, Sreeram Kannan, Founder of EigenCloud and CEO of Eigen Labs, said, “We are excited to partner with the CoinFello team to deliver verifiable, deterministic, and self-sovereign AI for crypto users. This partnership ensures that users have AI agents they fully control, using the model the user signed up for, and with reliable and repeatable outputs that protect users against non-attributable manipulation in agents.”

At every layer of the crypto experience, CoinFello works to make things easier. CoinFello users can complete complex transactions without ever navigating to a website-based dapp. Instead, users tell their agent what they’d like to execute, and the agent interfaces with the relevant smart contracts directly on the user’s behalf. CoinFello presents users with the smart contract interaction (or automation) for approval ahead of executing it.

CoinFello is the first solution that is both fully self-sovereign and supports any smart contract interaction on any EVM chain. With a context-aware conversational AI interface, users can simply say, “Sell my meme coins to buy more ETH,” or “use the liquidity in my wallet to ensure my loan positions are not liquidated during market fluctuations,” and the application handles the rest, presenting the user with an overview of the action to be taken first. CoinFello abstracts away complexities like gas fees, chain selection, token swapping, and bridging, making smart contract interactions simple.

“We’re excited to be working with the CoinFello team as they bring agentic experiences to life with the MetaMask Smart Accounts Kit.” said Ryan McPeck Product Lead at Consensys for the MetaMask Smart Accounts Kit. “Together we imagine a future where AI agents can act safely on behalf of users through fine-grained and transitive permissions, empowering people to express exactly what they want to see happen on-chain.”

George Town, British Virgin Islands, November 17th, 2025, Chainwire

Aster, a decentralized perpetual exchange, is entering a phase of rapid expansion. Following the strong performance of Stage 3, the platform has rolled out the Stage 4 (Harvest) airdrop program and will launch the “Double Harvest” trading competition on November 17 with a total reward pool of $10 million. At the same time, Aster continues to scale its early-asset product Rocket Launch, expanding the pipeline of new token activities.

These incentive tracks run in parallel, enabling users to earn multiple rewards from the same trading activity, substantially increasing platform engagement and trading depth.

The Stage 4 reward pool represents 1.5% of the total $ASTER supply (approximately 120,000,000 $ASTER tokens), distributed evenly across six weekly Epochs. Running concurrently, the $10 million “Double Harvest” competition features five independent weekly leaderboards, allowing users to earn both airdrop rewards and competition rewards from identical trading behavior.

Rocket Launch Shows Strong Traction, Emerging as a Key Growth Engine

Beyond the airdrop and trading competition, Aster Rocket Launch continues to gain momentum. The product is designed to accelerate early-stage projects by driving liquidity and trading activity. Within its first month, the platform launched 5 new token campaigns, with a cumulative reward pool of more than $3 million.

This highlights the growing market demand for early-stage liquidity and ignition mechanisms. Rocket Launch is quickly becoming a gateway for new projects to attract initial liquidity and users, while simultaneously evolving into a major driver of Aster’s broader ecosystem growth.

Advancing Infrastructure: Building an On-Chain Order-Book Layer-1

Alongside short-term incentive programs, Aster is accelerating progress on its long-term infrastructure roadmap. During a recent official AMA, the team revealed active development of a high-performance, optionally private on-chain order-book Layer-1, designed to process order placement, matching, and cancellation directly at the protocol layer.

The goal is to recreate a CEX-like trading experience fully on-chain—combining transparency, self-custody, and privacy with high-speed execution. Internal testing and an initial public testnet are planned for late 2025, with mainnet launch targeted for Q1 2026.

On the product side, Aster will further expand $ASTER’s utility over the next two quarters, including staking, governance, fee discounts, VIP tier benefits, airdrop eligibility, and yield-enhanced integrations with DeFi protocols. The platform has also introduced gold and index perpetuals and plans to broaden its lineup of commodities and equity-related instruments, while deepening integrations with Trust Wallet, Safepal, Math Wallet, Lista DAO, and other ecosystem partners.

Expanding Global Presence and Industry Influence

Aster’s international visibility also continues to grow. CEO Leonard recently spoke at Binance Campus APAC in Korea, presenting the platform’s infrastructure plans to regional industry leaders. Aster is also set to participate in Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai this December, further strengthening its global footprint.

With multi-track incentives, an expanding product ecosystem, and ongoing investment in foundational infrastructure, Aster is shaping a steeper growth curve heading into 2026. The platform is advancing toward a hybrid model built on “on-chain order-book infrastructure + incentive-driven growth”, aiming to secure a larger share of the competitive decentralized trading market and build the next generation of decentralized trading infrastructure and global ecosystem.

About Aster

Supra, the first Layer-1 blockchain built for Automatic DeFi (AutoFi) via full vertical integration, is proud to announce an expansion of its SupraEVM Beta Bounty. CEO and Co-Founder Joshua Tobkin has committed up to $1 million worth of his own $SUPRA tokens as a personal bounty to any developer or research team that can demonstrate a faster, verifiably correct EVM-parallel execution engine than SupraBTM, the core execution engine powering SupraEVM.

The personal bounty, touted as the SupraEVM Speed Challenge, is offered in addition to an ongoing $40,000 USDC performance-based reward offered by the foundation. To date, no participating team has surpassed the benchmarks established by SupraBTM, which remains the top performer in public tests against all known EVM-parallel solutions, including Monad, one of the more optimized projects in the high-performance EVM space.

“I am betting $1 million of my own tokens that no one can beat Supra,” said Co-Founder and CEO Joshua Tobkin. “Supra is built on transparency. We claim to be the fastest, so we are aiming to prove it in public. And if someone can demonstrate a superior execution engine under clear conditions, I will honor that outcome directly.”

Addressing the Core Bottleneck in Blockchain Scalability

While consensus protocols, data availability layers, and oracle infrastructure have all seen significant improvements in recent years, transaction execution remains a limiting factor for scaling decentralized applications. Safe and deterministic parallel execution within the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is particularly challenging, yet essential for enabling low-latency DeFi, real-time games, and AI-driven autonomous agents.

SupraEVM, powered by SupraBTM (Block Transactional Memory), addresses this challenge with a conflict-specification aware architecture that reduces overhead, anticipates transaction collisions, and schedules execution based on statically analyzed dependency graphs.

Benchmark Results: Superior Performance Over Monad

SupraBTM has been benchmarked on 10,000 Ethereum mainnet blocks and tested head-to-head against Monad’s 2-Phase Execution (2PE) approach using identical commodity hardware (16-core AMD 4564P CPU with 192 GB RAM). 

Results showed SupraBTM delivering:

• 1.5 to 1.7 times higher throughput than Monad across various workloads
• ~4 to 7 times speedup over traditional sequential EVM execution
• Consistent performance under high-conflict conditions typical in DeFi and arbitrage use cases

The engine’s design avoids the need for speculative execution and frequent rollbacks, instead relying on a deterministic scheduling model that is adaptable across varying thread configurations.

“Supra was built from the ground up to integrate execution, consensus, and core infrastructure components into a cohesive framework,” said Jon Jones, CBO and Co-Founder at Supra. “The result is an architecture that not only delivers performance, but does so in a way that is reproducible and testable against any known parallel EVM engine available today.”

Challenge Guidelines and Structure

The $1 million token commitment is available to developers or research teams who can produce a faster EVM execution engine under defined test conditions. Entries must be open source, verifiable, and reproducible. 

The full criteria include:

• Processing at least 100,000 consecutive Ethereum mainnet blocks
• Executing on commodity hardware with no more than 16 CPU cores
• Achieving at least a 15 percent performance improvement across 4, 8, and 16 thread configurations
• Publishing benchmark results publicly and submitting to community and independent verification
• Code must be released under an open-source license and remain accessible for audit

Participants may choose to claim the reward directly, or engage further with Supra’s engineering organization to collaborate. Token rewards are from Tobkin’s personal allocation, unlocking in 2027 and vesting over two years. The prize is independent of Supra’s core operations or treasury.

“This challenge is focused on the core technical issue that continues to constrain the EVM,” Tobkin added. “The objective is to find or validate the most performant execution engine possible. If someone is able to build a better system than what we have achieved at Supra, the industry should recognize it and benefit from it.”

For full technical documentation, rules, and binaries for the SupraEVM Beta Bounty, users can visit the bounty’s dedicated docs page, with in-depth details of the $1M SupraEVM Speed Challenge available on its dedicated landing page. Supra’s technical team has provided a deep-dive benchmark report comparing SupraBTM and Monad available on their website, while developers interested in early SupraEVM access can join the waitlist here.

Singapore, Singapore, November 13th, 2025, Chainwire

From the fastest Layer 2 blockchain to the foundation of global onchain markets, RISE introduces a new standard for orderbooks on the EVM, fully onchain and synchronously composable.

RISE, the fastest Ethereum Layer 2, today announced a new strategic direction with the launch of RISE MarketCore and RISEx, as it continues its mission to become the global home for onchain markets. These new platforms establish a comprehensive ecosystem for onchain trading, transitioning RISE from a high-performance execution layer into the foundational engine for global onchain markets. This expansion is bolstered by the recent acquisition of BSX Labs, which contributes key technology to RISE’s new global markets offering.

Traditional financial markets, from equities to FX, all run on orderbooks. Until now, this market structure has been largely incompatible with blockchain technology due to latency and complexity. RISE’s performance advancements solve this, enabling orderbooks to operate entirely onchain for the first time. This development enables a level of deep liquidity, programmability, and composability never before possible in finance.

RISE is leveraging its high-performance L2 to launch a new orderbook infrastructure and perpetuals DEX, turning its leading performance edge into a programmable market structure, the core engine that powers global onchain trading.RISE MarketCore, built on RISE’s ultra-low latency EVM, provides an orderbook infrastructure with deep, shared liquidity that enables anyone to launch fully onchain spot and perpetual markets fast and permissionlessly; with future support planned for additional orderbook-based primitives such as options and prediction markets. It solves key challenges by offering native orderbook primitives, risk engines, and APIs directly at the base layer. Builders can plug into liquid books, founders can list their tokens permissionlessly, and asset issuers can launch their own markets or entire exchanges.

RISEx is the ecosystem’s flagship application, the first Integrated Perpetuals DEX, where DeFi co-exists with CEX-grade perpetuals. Built on the EVM, it delivers a premium trading experience with deep liquidity, tight spreads, and seamless execution. Every order, margin update, and settlement occurs synchronously onchain, providing both speed and composability while maintaining full transparency for traders and market makers.

“RISE was never just about building a faster blockchain. It’s about enabling a new market structure for the internet,” said Sam Battenally, CEO of RISE. “With RISE MarketCore and RISEx, we’re turning the chain itself into the global home for onchain markets, a programmable foundation where liquidity, risk, and innovation converge onchain. This is the infrastructure global finance will be built on: composable, transparent, and unstoppable.”

Overview of RISE Platform Functions

RISE’s evolution gives developers and institutions a programmable foundation for global market infrastructure.

Key capabilities include:

• Native Orderbook Infrastructure: Shared, composable books for both spot and perpetuals markets
• Programmable Instruments: SDKs and APIs for building custom products and market logic
• High-Performance EVM: Millisecond-class latency and high throughput that ensure seamless execution
• Flagship Exchange: RISEx bootstraps ecosystem liquidity and sets a new standard for onchain trading

Next Phase of RISE Platform Development

RISEx enters its closed mainnet this quarter, followed by a public mainnet launch in early 2026. RISE MarketCore will then open for the permissionless deployment of new spot and perps markets. The future roadmap includes expanding the Markets SDK to support options, structured products, and prediction markets, all running natively on RISE’s shared orderbook infrastructure.

About RISE

RISE is the Home for Global Markets, a high-performance Ethereum Layer 2 that powers programmable markets onchain. Built for CEX-grade performance and full EVM composability; RISE enables builders, traders, and institutions to create and connect to global orderbooks alongside a thriving DeFi ecosystem with ease. RISE is rearchitecting the financial stack for a transparent, composable, and unstoppable onchain economy.
