Met a few devs this weekend… They still didn’t know about Grok 4 Fast.. Grok 4 Fast is a game-changer: It has the Highest intelligence density ever - outperforms top models Ultra cost-effective: Up to 98% cheaper than alternatives Super-fast output = more productivity, less waiting It’s wild that this isn’t mainstream yet If you’re not using Grok 4 Fast, you’re burning both time and money Grok 4 Fast delivers GPT-5 (High) performance - for just 5% of the cost (95.7% cheaper)... Insane value Grok 4 Fast costs - Input tokens: 84% cheaper - Output tokens: 95% cheaper - Output speed: 150% faster GPT-5: $1.25/M input, $10/M output Grok 4 Fast: $0.20/M input, $0.50/M output Grok: 344 tokens/s GPT-5: ~138 tokens/s Let them know... If anything, Grok 4 Fast’s value is still under-appreciated














1/ The XRPL EVM Sidechain is live on mainnet: on.ripple.com/4eoPHjI After years of building with @Peersyst and the XRPL community, devs can now build, port, and deploy cross-chain and EVM-only dApps using XRP as gas, with a direct bridge to the XRPL. Get started 👇



Today, we’ve successfully launched Band Oracle v3 Testnet Phase 2 — our biggest upgrade yet. This release makes BandChain faster, more transparent, and more interoperable than ever. Let’s break down what’s new👇 What did we achieve? — 3x Faster blocktime from 3s —> 1s — 10x symbols cap expand from 100 —> 300 symbols — 10x Higher Throughputs: 40k to 400k TX/day — 3x Max TXs Support/ Day: 7.2M TXs —> 21.6M TXs 🌐 New Data Tunnel routes are LIVE We’re expanding Band’s oracle reach across the multi-chain world: —> @cosmos’s IBC-Hook: seamless interchain contract querying —> @routerprotocol: Bridging & EVM chains & Soon on @Solana —> @axelar: ongoing collab for cross-chain verified feeds Interoperability is no longer a wishlist — it’s real. 🛠️ Minor upgrades with major impact: — Cylinder CLI runs standalone — Signal times are now block-based (not machine time) — Auto-select TSS groups — Yoda now auto-bumps gas to avoid TX failure — Telemetry for BeginBlock/EndBlock durations It’s all about smoother ops for devs and validators. 🧪 What’s next? ✅ Recap + docs for Testnet Phase 2 ✅ More Data Tunnel stress testing ✅ Backend + validator-side optimizations 🚀 Mainnet Launch in Q3 2025 We’re almost there. Band Oracle v3 is becoming the go-to open data oracle for all ecosystems. Fast. Transparent. New standard for Multi-chain native. Thanks to the validators, devs, partners, and Band community for building this with us. Let’s keep going. Read the full announcement here: blog.bandprotocol.com/introducing-ba…
