🤖 Los Alamos tests NVIDIA Vera CPUs for supercomputers targeting 12x faster performance

Los Alamos National Laboratory has taken another step toward its next generation of supercomputing after receiving the first NVIDIA Vera CPU server for an early test deployment, giving researchers their first opportunity to evaluate hardware that will eventually power the Mission and Vision systems.

The delivery marks the beginning of a broader testing phase before the two flagship supercomputers enter service later this decade. Engineers at Los Alamos will use the test platform to validate software, optimize scientific codes, and measure performance on real laboratory workloads before full-scale deployment.

🤑 BitGo to Offer Institutional Custody and Off-Exchange Settlement of USDM1, the World’s First Natively Issued Onchain Sovereign Bond

BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association, an OCC-regulated digital asset trust bank and subsidiary of BitGo Holdings, Inc., announced that it will provide institutional-grade qualified custody and off-exchange settlement services for USDM1, the world's first natively issued onchain secured sovereign bond. 🎉

➡️ Institutional clients will be able to hold a dual-recourse, dollar-denominated sovereign bond, backed 1:1 by US Treasuries, in segregated, regulated custody on the BitGo platform and utilize it for collateral and settlement on connected venues through BitGo's Go Network Off-Exchange Settlement (“OES”) solution.

➡️Issued natively onchain by the Republic of the Marshall Islands, USDM1 is a USD-denominated secured sovereign bond structured in the style of a fully collateralized Brady bond under NY law. It is designed to accrue value daily, and mint and redemption activity is executed against live signed price quotes that reflect the instrument’s accrued value.

❗️Available to institutions on Stellar, Ethereum and Solana, USDM1 can be held through BitGo's qualified custody platform in regulated cold storage with segregated accounts, institutional controls, and offline key management.

🔜 Through the Go Network, eligible clients can deploy USDM1 to connected venues 24/7 with T+0 settlement, without transferring assets on-exchange. This model is designed to minimize intraday exposure and settlement risk, reduce pre-funding requirements, and improve capital efficiency across institutional trading and financing workflows.

"USDM1 is a different kind of asset - sovereign collateral with Treasury backing, built to fit how institutions already operate," said Mike Belshe, CEO and Co-founder of BitGo. "Making it available for custody at BitGo means institutions will be able to access USDM1 within the same custody and settlement infrastructure they already rely on."

The Republic of the Marshall Islands has deployed USDM1 in the world's first nationwide Universal Basic Income program, which distributes funds quarterly across more than 1,200 islands for the next 20 years. Additionally, USDM1 is in active use with financial institutions as a treasury instrument. 🚀

🔥 Breaking News You Won't See on the News

Most weeks, the crypto market follows the same pattern: prices move, headlines repeat, and debates continue.

But every once in a while, several announcements land close together, and they stop looking like separate news items. When major organizations keep choosing the same infrastructure, it's worth asking why. 🤔

🚀 This video explores the latest developments and the bigger picture behind them.

🤑 Bitcoin’s quantum problem gets a recovery tool

A new zero-knowledge proof system from Project Eleven offers a practical way to recover bitcoin locked under BIP-361’s proposed freeze of quantum-vulnerable coins, including Satoshi Nakamoto’s holdings.

📌 BIP-361, published in April by Jameson Lopp and five co-authors, would block new deposits to vulnerable addresses after three years and freeze whatever remained after five, stranding coins in more than a third of bitcoin's supply, including the roughly 1.1 million BTC attributed to pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto.

⬇️Project Eleven and Jim Posen, lead developer of the Binius proof system, built a zero-knowledge proof around it.

🟠The scheme exploits the fact that quantum computers can break elliptic curve signatures but not the one-way hashing used in modern wallet key derivation, allowing only true owners with seed material to prove control.

🟠The user proves they know the key material sitting above their address in the wallet's derivation tree, that it derives the address in question, and binds the proof to a specific message, so the same proof can authorize the migration transaction. None of the key material is disclosed.

Project Eleven's runs in 910 milliseconds on the CPU alone, counting circuit construction, proof generation and self-checking, which it puts at 16 times faster. Excluding the one-time setup, which a real prover would build once and reuse, the gap widens to roughly 60 times. 🚀

❗️Benchmarks show Project Eleven’s prototype is dramatically faster than prior work, but it remains unaudited, incomplete, and would require contentious changes to blockchain rules before it could protect any live coins.
