Polish livestreamer Łatwogang has raised over $58 million for cancer research in a 9 day long marathon livestream. The previous Guinness World Record for most money raised in a single livestream was $19,485,634, and he raised triple that amount.
The Start In Block 2026 startup competition concluded last week, and it exceeded all expectations. From over 1,000 applications across every corner of the digital asset ecosystem, 12 finalists made it to the stage at the Carrousel du Louvre. Two days of pitching in front of the leading investors, institutional leaders, and the most demanding jury in European digital assets. The energy in that room during the competition was unlike anything we have seen in previous editions. Every finalist brought something real. But three companies stood above the rest: 🥇 First Place: @Manakoai, also the winner of the Bittensor track by @YumaGroup 🥈 Second Place: @TheRiskProtocol, also the winner of the DeFAI track by Spectrum Nodes 🥉 Third Place: @SundialProtocol, also the winner of the Institutional Adoption track by @Cardano_CF A special recognition to the other finalists: @404gen_, Synth, @Bitcast_network, @Neuron_World, Deploi, @CoinbaxHQ, @MasumiNetwork, @zettacapital00, and @libertum_token, each of whom brought a standard that made this one of the strongest cohorts in Start In Block history. None of this happens without the people who gave their time and expertise to make the competition credible. Thank you to our jury, Mykolas Majauskas - @Bybit_Official, Tomasz Kajetan Stańczak (@tkstanczak) -@Nethermind, Jessi Brooks - @RibbitCapital, Greg Schvey (@GSchvey) -@YumaGroup, Siam Kidd (@SiamKidd) - @dsvfund, Brett Sun (@sohkai) - @preludexyz, Matthew Felice Pace (@mfelicepace) - @SpectrumNodes, Pablo Campos - @Bit2Me, David Bchiri - @xrpl_commons, Samiz Bayan (@samizb) - @DraperDragon, Brian Wong (@brian_wong) - ASCII Ventures, and Ethan Pierce (@EthanPierse) - @BorderlessVC.

In March 2023, Claude had an estimated IQ of 64. Today, Claude Opus 4.6 scores 133 on the Mensa Norway test. GPT-5.2 Thinking hits 141. Gemini 3 Pro, 142. That's a jump from cognitively impaired to gifted in three years. No human population has ever improved that fast, the Flynn effect gives us ~3 IQ points per decade. AI just did 70 points in 36 months.
