Long term thinking over hype
Unfortunately, due to current market conditions, the airdrop won’t be possible at this time. We know how much effort went into this, but we have to make the right decisions for the long-term sustainability of Somnia. More details below 👇

Happy new month It’s a new quarter in 2026, welcome to Q2. May what happened to me in Q1 not repeat itself I will make money this month, and plenty of it I know opportunities will still show up in this space. My advice to you is don’t give up. Show up every day so you can grab them early I hope you are positioned in @quipnetwork Quip Network is building the world’s shared quantum computer, a quantum base layer that lets anyone access real quantum processors, run complex jobs like AI training, optimization, arbitrage, and more, and even get paid for writing quantum smart contracts But that’s not all While quantum computers threaten to break traditional crypto encryption Quip is already defending the ecosystem with seamless post quantum security, protecting wallets, contracts, and entire networks today without waiting for slow chain upgrades It’s the ultimate combo, defensive armor and offensive quantum power From qubit accelerated apps to quantum resistant vaults, Quip is turning sci fi into on chain reality The quantum supremacy countdown is ticking. Are you positioned for it?
Most people are still sleeping on quantum-proof crypto, but Quip Network is already building for it. @quipnetwork is combining decentralized compute with post-quantum security to help protect wallets, data, and digital assets from future quantum threats. The interesting part is that it’s not just about security alone. They’re also building a shared compute layer that can power serious workloads across Web3. So while others are focused on today’s problems, Quip is preparing for tomorrow’s biggest risk. Still early, still building, but the narrative is strong. If quantum becomes real faster than most expect, this could easily become one of the most important sectors in crypto. Quip Network is a project worth watching early.

SOMNIA UNWRAPPED RECAP: SCALING THE FUTURE OF SOMNIA TLDR: - Peter Lipka is officially Somnia's new CEO. - Somnia is becoming an Agentic L1 where AI agents are the primary users. - Somnia SS5 will end in Early Q2. 🔸Peter Lipka — From Computer Scientist to Master Scaler - @lippylipka and @0xPaulThomas both studied at Imperial College London and later worked together at Goldman Sachs. Peter left finance because the slow, bureaucratic environment did not match his fast-execution style. - In 2012, He co-founded @Improbableio with @RJFWhite and @HermanNarula, starting with a small team in Herman's house in London. Paul joined shortly after.. The team was building an “everything game”, a fully simulated virtual world that could support tens of thousands of concurrent users in real time. - The early days were extremely intense. They ran so many powerful machines for heavy simulations that the house’s power outlets literally exploded multiple times.. Yet this hands-on, high-pressure environment allowed the team to test, fail, and iterate at incredible speed. - The team realized the real value was not the game itself, but the underlying distributed systems technology for massive real-time scale. They pivoted and turned Improbable into a platform company serving gaming, defense, and large-scale simulations. - The company grew to 1,000+ employees, raised $500M from A16z, SoftBank Vision Fund and opened global offices. Funfact: Improbable’s very first revenue didn’t come from technology, it came from real estate. The team managed to lease a massive 127,000 sq ft office in Farringdon, paying only the service charge, then cleverly sublet portions to two other companies. This resourceful move turned their workspace into their first source of income and perfectly illustrates the scrappy, creative mindset the early team brought to every challenge. 🔸 Peter’s Scaling Philosophy From this journey, Peter developed clear leadership rules that he will bring to @Somnia_Network: - Absolute transparency, never hide problems - Zero lying, because trust is everything - Improvement over comfort, always choose the harder but better path He believes the foundation of any high-performance organization is trust. “Hire the right people, align values, and the rest follows.” 🔸Why Somnia Needed This Exact Leader - Paul openly admitted his strength is 0-to-1: creating the vision, building the first product, and growing the early community. Scaling large organizations with complex operations, big teams, and serious capital is not his main strength. - That is exactly why he brought Peter in. Paul will now focus 100% on product vision, roadmap, go-to-market, and community. Peter takes full responsibility for execution, hiring, structure, and professional scaling. - After years in high-level leadership and advisory roles, Peter was clear: he didn’t want to be just a board member or consultant. He wanted to get his hands dirty again as a full-time builder. That’s why he joined Somnia as CEO — to roll up his sleeves, execute, and scale the company from the inside. 🔸 Somnia — Built from Real Technical Pain - Somnia was not started because “blockchain is hot.” It was created to solve a concrete problem: the team needed a Layer 1 with giga-scale gas to put not just NFTs, but entire game logic and real-time metaverse state on-chain — something no existing chain could handle. - This makes Somnia an infrastructure-first project, designed for performance and real utility from day one. 🔸 Season 5 Ending — A Clear Transition - Paul confirmed Season 5 will end in early Q2. The seasonal quest system has successfully handled onboarding and engagement. The next phase shifts to product deployment, AI, DEX, and prediction markets. 🔸 The AI Shift: Scaling Is Now About Leverage, Not Headcount - Peter highlighted that AI is changing everything. Scaling no longer means adding more people — it means leverage. Smaller teams can now deliver much bigger results. - The biggest change ahead: AI agents will become the primary “users” of blockchain systems. Product design will move from human interfaces to structured, machine-readable data. Somnia is being built with this future in mind, bringing true permissionless and decentralized principles to AI. 🔸 Three Core Verticals Somnia Is Expanding Into - Agentic Layer 1 — A permissionless chain where AI agents can act, transact, and verify everything on-chain. - High-performance DEX — Matching centralized exchange speed while staying fully decentralized. - Prediction Markets 2.0 — Using AI + on-chain execution for reliable, deterministic resolution. Peter pointed out a key weakness in today’s prediction markets (Polymarket, UMA, etc.): resolutions are often decided by “crypto bros on Discord” with tiny incentives, making them unreliable and unsuitable for serious institutional use. Somnia’s approach fixes this by combining AI with on-chain execution to deliver transparent, dispute-free, and smart-contract-like finality. All three point to one unified vision: an agentic blockchain where autonomous agents handle financial decisions, contracts, and economic activity transparently — without intermediaries. 🔸Conclusion: A Calculated Bet on the Agent Economy - Somnia is not just building a faster blockchain. It is betting that the main participants in digital economies will soon shift from humans to AI agents. - With Paul driving vision and Peter leading execution, Somnia is entering its most professional and ambitious scaling chapter yet. The agentic future is getting closer.
The @foruai Rep Leaderboard Campaign has finally come to an end, but my journey as an ambassador continues. We keep showing up for the project, no matter what. AI is quickly becoming part of everyday digital life. At the same time, communities are turning into real economic forces, and digital identity and reputation are starting to matter more than ever. $FORU brings all of this together through its AI reputation economy, combining AI agents, verifiable identity, portable reputation, and real rewards powered by its token utility. If this vision plays out, everyday users will finally be able to own, build, and monetise their reputation in a growing AI-powered ecosystem.
Building something real takes a strong vision and the right people. Today, we are proud to welcome Peter Lipka @LippyLipka as CEO, Harry Lang as CMO, and Kevin Zia as COO. Together with founder @0xPaulThomas, this leadership brings the depth and experience to execute on Somnia's bold vision.
Canton just made Validator Economics about real usage ⚙️ CIP-0096 is phasing out liveness rewards entirely, 70% of validator rewards were tied to pure liveness. What changed and why: → Liveness rewards were designed to incentivize infrastructure operation, but over time they could be earned without driving real network activity. → The reduction happens in four on-chain votes, stepping down from $3.33 to $2.50 to $0.60 to $0, voted through by Super Validators on DevNet, TestNet, and MainNet → Other validator reward mechanics remain unchanged. This is specifically about liveness rewards, not the full reward model The network bootstrapped with liveness incentives to get infrastructure online. Use cases are live, validators are onboarding, and those incentives are no longer needed. Active participation is now the only way to earn!
