Today, we are launching the Road to Devcon (RTD) Grants round to support the rise of new Ethereum events, grassroots communities, and educational initiatives across…

The Special Contribution Period for the KZG Ceremony ran 01-16 April 2023. This allowed participants to contribute in ways that may not have been possible in the Open Contribution period. While the Ceremony only needs a single honest participant to provide a secure output, Special Contributions provide additional assurances beyond a standard entropy contribution: computing over the entropy in an isolated environment (eg. on an airgapped machine, wiping and physically destroying hardware) means that it’s unlikely for a malicious entity to have extracted the entropy at any point.detailed documentation (explore links below) attached to real reputations are unlikely to all…

Key takeaways:XRP has averaged 25% declines in 2025 following overbought Stochastic RSI signals.A descending triangle breakdown could push XRP price toward $1.14, while an analyst sees a deeper drop to $0.60.Bullish analysts expect breakouts toward $3.20–$27.XRP (XRP) has averaged 25% price declines in 2025 during its daily Stochastic RSI unwinding from the overbought levels. A similar fractal is now playing out in July, raising the probability of correcting in the coming days or weeks.Previous XRP drops were between 12% and 45% Stochastic RSI measures momentum by comparing an asset’s RSI to its recent range.

Key takeaways:Onchain metrics suggest retail investors are asleep, but the ETFs’ AUM is growingRetail investors hold the majority of spot Bitcoin ETF shares — either directly or indirectly through investment advisers and hedge funds acting on their behalf.Direct retail investor demand may be dormant but not dead, especially outside the US, where self-custody remains essential.There’s a widespread assumption that Bitcoin (BTC) cannot move higher because retail investor demand is drying up. Onchain data seems to support this narrative: Small wallet activity is at a multi-year low. But is this really the full picture?Perhaps retail is still here, just not where…

Image Credits: Riot Games At the Mid-Season Invitational 2025, G2 Esports and Movistar KOI carried Europe’s pride onto the stage — but both ultimately found it daunting to keep up. For years, EMEA has been the West’s only region to reach international finals and the only one with both a Worlds and an MSI title to its name, a legacy built by teams like Fnatic and G2 Esports over the years. But this year’s Mid-Season Invitational showed just how quickly that title and those narratives can slip when the rest of the world keeps moving forward while EMEA focuses on…

Recent research indicates that LLMs, particularly smaller ones, frequently struggle with robust reasoning. They tend to perform well on familiar questions but falter when those same problems are slightly altered, such as changing names or numbers, or adding irrelevant but related information. This weakness, known as poor out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization, results in notable accuracy drops, even in simple math tasks. One promising solution is to create synthetic variations of reasoning problems, helping models learn to focus on the underlying logic rather than surface details. Strengthening reasoning in this manner is crucial for developing more general and reliable AI systems. Abstracting…
