What a great one at Tatler Malaysia!

@BSCNews @PiCoreTeam Protocol 23 to protocol 26 by June 22. Five milestones in ten weeks on a live mainnet with 18M verified users underneath it, the pace this quarter is different from anything @PiCoreTeam has shipped before!!

PI MAINNET COMPLETES PROTOCOL 22 UPGRADE, PROTOCOL 23 SMART CONTRACTS DUE MAY 11 The Pi Network mainnet has successfully upgraded to Protocol 22, per @PiCoreTeam. Node operators with non-compliant systems were disconnected after the April 27 hard deadline. Protocol 22 is the foundation for Protocol 23, scheduled for May 11, which introduces full smart contract functionality on Pi Mainnet for the first time. The upgrade window now extends through Protocol 26 by June 22, packing five major milestones into a 10-week run. Roughly 10 billion pi-network:native has migrated to Mainnet so far, with around 6 billion still locked. Active node count sits at approximately 421,000 against an 18 million KYC-verified user base. Co-founders Nicolas Kokkalis and Chengdiao Fan will be present at Consensus 2026 in Miami next week.

@PiCoreTeam Opening the smart contract code to public audit before mainnet is exactly the kind of transparency that separates projects that are confident in what they built from ones that are not..

To open the Testnet subscription smart contract to technical review and community feedback, Pi has released the second Pi Request for Comment (PiRC2). Developers are encouraged to try integrating subscriptions in their own apps, review the subscription contract design, and test for bugs or edge cases, if any. github.com/PiNetwork/PiRC…

@PiCoreTeam The "without doxing yourself" part is where most solutions fall apart tbh. Governments want ID checks, platforms want data. Pi figured out how to do neither and still know you are real. That is the hard version of the problem and they solved it, period...

Pi is tackling one of the most urgent problems in the AI era: proving real human identity online. Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis will speak on a panel at Consensus 2026 on Thursday, May 7, from 10:15-10:45 AM EDT at the Convergence Stage. The session, “How to Prove You're Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself),” explores how the internet’s trust model is breaking as AI systems become capable of creating bots that can generate profiles and interact like real users. At the core of the discussion is a simple challenge: how do you verify a real human online without exposing private identity data? Want to know how? Join us in Miami on May 7th! See you there!

@PiCoreTeam Just the word subscriptions being the first smart contract tells you everything about who this is being built for tbh

Pi’s first smart contract capability is now live on Testnet: subscriptions! This fosters real, recurring, utility-driven use cases. Think e-commerce, streaming, online tools, and more, powered on-chain. Read more in the Pi mining app.

@Aptos @AptosLabs @sherryxiao @Cointelegraph The Aptos community understands what this unlocks and voted accordingly, it's the ecosystem recognising what serious adoption actually requires imo 👏👏👏

Your salary. Your treasury moves. Your trades. All public onchain—until now. Confidential APT uses zero-knowledge proofs to encrypt balances & transfer amounts while keeping identities verifiable. Fully opt-in. @AptosLabs' @sherryxiao for @Cointelegraph: cointelegraph.com/news/aptos-say…

@Aptos @okx Aptos at 30ms block times and sub cent fees is exactly the base layer you want under autonomous agent commerce, period!

The agent economy just got payment rails. Open protocol. Machine-speed settlement. Agent-to-agent commerce with escrow and dispute resolution. Learn more about @okx's Aptos-ready Agent Payments Protocol 👇

x402 gave agents a way to pay. APP gives them a way to do business. @okx just published the Agent Payments Protocol (APP)—the first open standard for agent-to-agent commerce. Escrow, settlement, disputes. Built for every chain. Aptos is proud to be a day-one partner!

@Aptos Imo "not a testnet not a demo" is doing the most work in this post. A lot of chains are still essentially running glorified testnets in production. Three years of mainnet at this uptime is a completely different conversation fr

The Global Trading Engine. ~30ms block times with instant finality. 5B+ transactions processed. 99.99% uptime since 2022. Gas under $0.001 per transaction—all burned. 274M+ transactions in March. Block space to spare. Not a testnet. Not a demo. Mainnet. Every day. Aptos.

@DecibelTrade @borntobry @MessariCrypto Imo the transparency angle is what makes Decibel actually interesting for institutions, not just fast, fully auditable, both matter 💯

"When we talk about being fully onchain and transparent, we mean it." - @borntobry with @MessariCrypto On Decibel, everything is onchain, from order books to the matching engine. Every trade, every transaction, is fully visible and verifiable for the user to see.

@Aptos Ofc institutions aren't building payroll onchain when anyone with a block explorer can read the salary sheet this removes that blocker completely 100%

Imagine every ATM printed your full bank statement on the receipt. That's onchain without confidentiality. Just use Confidential APT.

@diamante_io Quietly, Instantly, Permanently, that sequence is what makes this different from every other security threat blockchain has ever faced, I mean despite the big hacks we have seen, it's just like that tbh

Quantum computing doesn’t hack systems. It makes their security irrelevant. Most people imagine cyberattacks as breaches. Forced entry. Exploits. Quantum is different. It doesn’t need to break into your wallet. It doesn’t need to bypass security. It simply changes the math that security is built on. When that happens, what was once considered “unbreakable” becomes readable. Quietly. Instantly. Permanently. This is why quantum matters. Not because it creates new attacks, but because it invalidates existing defenses. Diamante was built with that shift in mind. Post-quantum security from genesis, designed so your assets don’t rely on assumptions that can expire. Because the future won’t break your security. It will outgrow it.

@diamante_io The gap between when a risk becomes real and when it becomes visible is exactly where @diamante_io was built to operate

The real risk isn’t visible. That’s why it gets ignored.

@diamante_io I mean the consensus requirement alone should terrify anyone betting on a legacy chain upgrading in time

In most industries, being late costs opportunity. In blockchain, it could cost everything. Security upgrades aren’t instant. They require coordination, consensus, migration, and time. And time is exactly what quantum removes from the equation. Diamante eliminates that risk entirely by starting where others are trying to get to. Because in a race against technological progress, late isn’t just inconvenient, it’s dangerous.

@diamante_io The entire history of infrastructure security is a graveyard of systems that looked completely fine until the specific condition they were never built for finally showed up aka QUANTUM

Nothing looks broken. That’s what makes it dangerous.

@diamante_io The coordination problem is what people underestimate BTC has been trying to agree on relatively simple upgrades for years. Now imagine that same process running against a quantum timeline that does not wait for mailing list debates to resolve 🤯🤯

If your blockchain needs an upgrade to survive, it was never built to last.

The part people miss is that the encryption protecting your wallet right now was never designed to be permanently unbreakable. It was designed to be impractical to break at current computing speeds. Quantum does not find a vulnerability. It just removes the impracticality. That is a completely different problem requiring a completely different architecture and @diamante_io is one of the very few projects that understood that distinction before building.

Most systems aren’t built to be unbreakable. They’re built to be “hard enough” to break. That works… until it doesn’t. For decades, encryption has relied on one idea: that breaking it would take too long to matter. Quantum computing changes that equation completely. What once took thousands of years could eventually take minutes. Diamante isn’t built on “secure enough.” It’s built on the assumption that technology will catch up, and that security needs to outlast it.

@multibank_io Silly anolodgy but the gold token in that hand has been through more regulatory frameworks than most exchanges have employees lol 5 continents worth of compliance and it fits in one palm

What makes ⬡ mb io different? 👀 Honestly? It starts with who's behind it. MultiBank Group. 20+ years in institutional finance. $35B daily trading volume. 18+ regulatory licenses worldwide. Most exchanges are built on hype. This one is built on a track record. 🔑

@multibank_io Interesting that the exchanges offering similar numbers are the ones nobody can find in two years. The ones still here in two years are the ones that were regulated before they made the offer

64,000 tokens allocated and counting. ⏳ 2 days left to lock $MBG and earn 420.69% interest. After that? Gone. Don't miss this one. 🔑 Available in select jurisdictions only. T&Cs apply.

@multibank_io Interesting that the exchanges built on compliance and institutional infrastructure were quietly right about the direction this was heading while everyone else was debating whether it was real

Fed Chair nominee, Kevin Warsh, just said crypto is already integrated into the US financial system. 👀 Crypto isn't "the future". It's already here. ⤵️

@multibank_io @Zak_MBG Interesting that the exchanges making the most noise about Africa adoption are doing it from X mb.io sent the CEO to Kumasi

MultiBank Group and ⬡ mb io are proud to sponsor the World-Meets-in-Ghana Executive Dinner Ball. 🌍 Honouring His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, as a Pillar of Peace on his 27th coronation anniversary. Our CEO @Zak_MBG will be in attendance 📍 Manhyia Palace, Kumasi 📅 April 24 Proud to stand alongside history in the making. 🤝

@ChainEconomist1 @Aptos Imo selective disclosure via view keys is actually the most interesting part, institutions can stay compliant without exposing everything by default, which represents an operational requirement for serious finance and Aptos just made it native 👏👏👏

@Aptos Payroll on-chain has been a non starter because nobody wants salaries visible on a block explorer. confidential APT removes that blocker without removing accountability. The use cases that open up from that are actually pretty significant, just think about it...

It's here. The governance proposal for Confidential APT is now LIVE! Encrypted balances. Encrypted amounts. Identities stay onchain. Entirely opt-in.
