NX8 is built on the @LayerZero_Labs OFT standard from day one. That means true multichain compatibility, not a bridge added later. NX8 starts on Solana and extends to Ethereum and beyond.

"Bitcoin wastes energy!" In Finland, Bitcoin mining is actually replacing oil and gas heating. I investigated these secretive projects... and I was amazed. Not only do miners warm these snowy towns but they also balance the energy grid 🤯 Watch and see for yourself:

21 million coins, shifting hands over 16 years. Pay attention.

At QIP Riga, we sat down with Quantum teams from Google Quantum AI, Alice & Bob, IBM, academics from ETH Zurich, MIT and many more. Full episodes coming soon

Great example of where AI agents and crypto fit together! I felt similar excitement years ago when Bitcoin lightning went live. Unfortunately it faded out. Maybe now the AI agent hype can rejuvenate this. Machines and AI agents making micropayments for calling and API endpoint.

For years, investors have been playing a high-stakes game of roulette. They’ve been betting on which "Ethereum Killer" might dethrone the king or which lightning-fast blockchain will dominate global finance. But as we step into 2026, the landscape is more intricate. Blockchains have carved out their own empires: - Tron rules stablecoin payments - Solana powers high-frequency retail trading - Ethereum is the cornerstone for institutional settlement, and - Bitcoin reigns as the new gold. The future is about owning the backbone of the entire crypto economy, not chasing a single-concentrated winner. And with that NX8, the recently unveiled tokenized index from @nansen_ai and @opendelta_, serving as the "S&P 500" for the Layer-1. — ► What is NX8? NX8 is a tokenized index product that gives investors exposure to eight of the most critical Layer-1 blockchains in a single token. But unlike a generic "Top 10" crypto fund that blindly buys whatever has the highest market cap (often including dead "zombie" chains), NX8 is what Nansen calls an "opinionated" index. It is constructed based on onchain fundamentals, actual user adoption, transaction volume, and developer activity, rather than just hype. It acknowledges a specific thesis: that we live in a multi-chain world where different networks specialize in different verticals, from DeFi and gaming to RWAs. It also built with institutional-grade infrastructure: → Issued and operated by @opendelta_ → Informed by Nansen's 500M+ labeled addresses → Index methodology by @gmci_ and @wintermute_t → Institutional custody via @Anchorage & @Hex_Trust @FordefiHQ → Real-time asset verification by @AccountableData → Launched on @solana and built using @LayerZero_Core's Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard — ► The "Opinionated" Eight: A Curated Basket The index tracks eight foundational networks that have proven their utility over multiple market cycles. Nansen’s selection methodology weeds out vaporware, focusing on chains with "sustained traction." The current composition covers every major vertical of the on-chain economy: ❶ Bitcoin / $BTC : The digital gold standard and base layer for value storage. ❷ @Ethereum / $ETH: The economic hub for smart contracts and institutional DeFi. ❸ @Solana / $SOL: The execution layer for high-throughput trading and mass consumer apps. ❹ @BNBChain / $BNB: A powerhouse for retail users, gaming, and exchange integration. ❺ @trondao / $TRX: The dominant rail for global stablecoin settlements (specifically USDT). ❻ @HyperliquidX / $HYPE: The specialist chain for high-performance onchain derivatives. ❼ @Avax / $AVAX: A leader in asset tokenization and app-specific subnets. ❽ @Suinetwork / $SUI: The next-gen parallel processing chain focused on gaming and social scalability. NX8 stands out because it's productive, not just a passive product. In TradFi, index funds miss dividends unless reinvested. In crypto, raw tokens miss staking rewards unless you handle validators yourself. NX8 addresses this by integrating native staking. — Automatic Yield: Tokens like ETH, SOL, and AVAX are staked via Nansen validators. — Zero Leverage: Rewards come from network consensus, not risky loans. — Net-of-Fee: Rewards automatically boost token value. This makes NX8 a yield-bearing asset, capturing the crypto economy's "risk-free rate" without managing multiple wallets and staking setups. Bottom line, NX8 is highly adaptable, you can trade on Solana DEXs now like @orca_so, with future potential as Ethereum DeFi collateral. — ► Why This Matters Now The launch of NX8 signals a shift from "speculation" to "allocation." As the crypto market matures, retail and institutional investors alike are looking for ways to capture the sector's growth without the volatility of picking individual coins. By combining diversification, automated yield, and professional data analysis into a single liquid token, NX8 offers a robust solution for the long-term believer in blockchain technology. It stops asking "Which chain will win?" and starts answering, "How do I own the market?" — cc @ASvanevik
