Successful Day 4 at DSC Europe 25 Our CEO, Srdjan Vukmirovic, joined Petar Atanasovski (Curvy) and Stanislav Ivanov (Newma) on the panel “The Promise of Web3 and Blockchain” – with great audience engagement and an insightful discussion. It was a strong mix of business and technical sessions. Some of the standout talks included: - “Agentification: The art of transforming manual processes into an orchestration of AI agents” – Debmalya Biswas (UBS) - “Rethinking Financial Talent: Integrating Code, Capital, and Creativity” – Branko Urosevic (Union University) Ethernal Darko Čapko Nemanja Nedic Data Science Conference #DSCEurope25 #Web3 #Blockchain #DataScience 

We have recently worked on a protocol we call Fast Tendermint, for people familiar with BFT consensus literature, "a la Fast Byzantine Consensus", https://lnkd.in/djVBcrjz. We believe that this version of Tendermint will be a very interesting choice for PoA setups needing low latency/high throughput. But this post is not about Fast Tendermint; it is about our approach in implementing Fast Tendermint in the Malachite. Namely, we have challenged ourselves to do this non-trivial protocol/implementation change to the Malachite codebase in less than a week's time, leveraging Quint and an LLM tool, and following a novel process/tolling we find super promising. TLDR: the experiment was successful and the results are very promising, and you can read more about it in the post below. But I want to share a few interesting points which came from this exercise that people might find useful. First, the strongest feedback and feeling from the team was that they are tired of "coding in English" and reading generated code, and that they want to write some real code and use proper tools for it 😀 Second, they have been frustrated by the nondeterministic output of the LLM (even in scenarios which from a human perspective seem very easy), and we have an internal joke that we are back to "it works on my machine" time; although it is actually more "it works in my session", but even that is not consistently the case 🙃 . Don't get me wrong, LLMs are amazing, and you can read in the post what the areas are where it really works great, but it is not a silver bullet (at least not yet), and this exercise has shown us areas where things can be improved and we can bring value. At Informal, we feel very strongly that English (natural language) is not the right tool to guide and constrain LLMs, and that Quint has a lot to offer in that context. And we are doubling down on this and developing more tools that will address issues we have observed and strengthen the good sides further as well. If you are working on distributed systems (consensus/blockchain/database systems) or other kinds of complex protocols or systems (trading systems, cryptographic and privacy protocols), etc., and you would like to explore ways Quint can bring value to your use cases, please reach out. We are offering free consultations where we demo what we currently have and are happy to explore your use cases. And don't forget that with Quint and LLMs you can be playing instead of reading, and that is definitely more fun 😉

Apex Fusion is built on a clear idea: blockchains move further when they work together. UTxO and EVM each bring something valuable, and connecting them creates real utility for everyone in the ecosystem. Decentralization is a big part of why this matters. It keeps networks open, resilient, and guided by the community, not by a single point of control. Interoperability is the next step in that direction, and Apex Fusion is how we make it happen.

Blockchain is No Longer Niche: The Multi-Billion Dollar Opportunity Forget small-scale experiments. The enterprise blockchain market is on a trajectory that every business leader needs to understand. This is a massive, high-growth sector that is redefining industries. 🔹 A Soaring Market: The global enterprise blockchain market was valued at $20.16 billion in 2024. It is projected to reach an incredible $393.42 billion by 2032, demonstrating a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43.65%. 🔹 Widespread Adoption: A significant 90% of surveyed businesses have already deployed blockchain in some capacity, and over 85% of executives believe it can enhance their business operations. 🔹 Massive Investment: Global spending on blockchain solutions is on a steep curve, forecasted to reach $19 billion by 2025. This indicates that companies are not just exploring the technology, they are making serious investments in it. The takeaway is clear: enterprise blockchain is not a passing trend. It is a fundamental shift in business infrastructure that is backed by unprecedented market growth and investment. #Blockchain #EnterpriseBlockchain #Web3 #Digital #FutureOfBusiness #TechInnovation #BlockchainAdoption

📃 Tech Deep Dive: CryptoCPU – Powering FHE & ZKPs for Confidential Computing Verifiable and confidential computation is no longer a futuristic concept — it's here, and it's advancing rapidly. These technologies are beginning to solve some of the key barriers preventing large enterprises and FinTech companies from embracing public blockchain infrastructure at scale. They might also enable many use cases in traditional industries such as privacy-preserving cloud computing and machine learning. At the core of this transformation are two powerful technologies: Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs). 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ejuTJ4gn Ponos Technology #FHE #ZeroKnowledge #ZK #ConfidentialComputing #Blockchain #Crypto #Privacy #HomomorphicEncryption #Web3 #Hardware
