DOE is investing to accelerate fault‑tolerant quantum computing through Quantum Genesis. While networks like Stellar are investing to absorb that shock by moving to quantum‑resistant cryptography on roughly the same timeline. QPP aims to have all Stellar accounts able to add quantum‑safe signers by end of 2027, with enterprise wallets starting as early as 2026. So is Stellar aligning its migration window with the expected inflection point in real‑world quantum capability? 🤔

⚡️🤑 Matrixdock Gold XAUm is now live on Stellar, bringing institutional-grade physically-backed gold to the network

Matrixdock, Asia's leading Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization platform, today announced the expansion of its flagship tokenized gold product, XAUm, to the Stellar network, extending institutional-grade access to physical gold through Stellar. 🎉

❗️Backed 1:1 by 99.99% pure LBMA-accredited gold, audited by Bureau Veritas, and redeemable for physical gold, XAUm bridges the trust of gold to a broader blockchain ecosystem.

XAUm has grown to rank among the top 4 tokenized gold products globally and Asia's largest, with over 88,000 unique on-chain addresses and 730,000 lifetime transactions across its ecosystem.

“Bringing XAUm to Stellar gives institutions and treasuries access to an asset that strengthens the network's foundation for real-world finance,” said Raja Chakravorti, Stellar Development Foundation Chief Business Officer.

Another step in building the reserve layer for on-chain finance. Physical integrity. Digital utility. 🚀

🇺🇸 $500 million AI jobs push launches with bipartisan backing

A bipartisan group launched Thursday with $500 million in funding from tech and other interests to help American workers adapt to AI — marking one of the largest private efforts yet to address growing public anxiety about the technology’s potential to trigger widespread job losses.

The effort is led by two former governors, Democrat Gina Raimondo and Republican Eric Holcomb. Named RAISE US, the nonprofit will work with corporate donors including Anthropic, OpenAI, Amazon, Microsoft, Bank of America, General Motors and pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly to design and implement programs to retrain workers for new roles, as a way to deter layoffs.

🤖 IBM Debuts World’s First Sub-1 Nanometer Chip Technology

IBM today unveiled a major semiconductor breakthrough with the introduction of the world’s first sub-1 nanometer (nm) chip technology, featuring a revolutionary transistor architecture at the 0.7 nm, or 7 angstrom node. The achievement marks a landmark moment for an industry facing the physical limits of traditional chip scaling. Semiconductors play critical roles in everything from computing, to appliances, to communication devices, transportation systems, and critical infrastructure.

IBM’s new sub-1 nm chip packs nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail, nearly twice the density of IBM’s 2 nm chip, unveiled in 2021. Enabled by a series of structural and material innovations, including IBM’s groundbreaking three-dimensional nanostack architecture, the technology demonstrates how continued gains in performance and efficiency remain possible even as chip features approach atomic dimensions.
