Walrus Memory Enables AI Agents to ‘Actually Learn About Us’: Mysten Labs Co-Founder
Agentic memory is “a mirror of ourselves,” says Kostas Chalkias, Co-Founder and Chief Cryptographer at Mysten Labs, original contributors to Walrus. In an ideal world, that memory should be portable, with AI agents coordinating and carrying context between apps and sessions—but to date they’ve been hamstrung by the limitations of memory. Developers building AI agents have been left to stitch together databases, vector stores, and runtime state, resulting in unreliable systems that struggle to co...

Sui Blames Last Week's Trio of Network Outages on Gas and Validator Bugs
Sui network developers shared the cause behind last week’s streak of outages, with three separate periods of downtime tallying over 15 hours over a turbulent 48-hour period between Thursday and Friday. Engineers traced the first two failures to crash bugs involving the interaction between gas charging logic and Sui release 1.72, which had introduced an address balances feature. The new functionality conflicted with existing gas calculation processes, causing validators to halt operations. The t...

How Alkimi is Fixing the ‘Opaque’ Online Advertising Model With AdFi
Decentralized blockchain infrastructure promises to break monopolies, do away with gatekeepers and render opaque processes transparent—and one industry where it’s sorely needed is online advertising, according to decentralized ad exchange Alkimi. “Intermediaries take fees of up to 40 to 80%, so if you are Nike and you want to put an ad on CNN, 40 to 80% of your dollar is lost,” according to the firm’s CEO Ben Putley. That means advertisers lose out on spending power, and publishers aren’t gettin...
