This is a builder-focussed release with major updates to the powerful toolkit behind most Stellar apps using JS/TS.
Smart contracts now feel like ordinary code. Reading a value from a contract used to take four steps; now it's one line. Wallets can show users exactly what they're approving, instead of an unreadable blob.
SDK's foundation is rebuilt: type-checked end to end

Genius Group Limited, a leading AI-powered education group, announced a capital plan to fund its board-approved dual treasury targeting $800 million AI Treasury and $827 million Bitcoin Treasury with a target of $2 billion in total assets by FY2031.
The Company intends to leverage its $1.2 billion shelf registration, declared effective by the SEC on July 18, 2025 to issue a publicly registered Perpetual Preferred Security (PPS) to fund its dual treasury in an accretive manner, maximizing Net Asset Value per Ordinary Share (NAVPS), with no dilution to ordinary shareholders with issuance of PPS.
The Company's ambition for its PPS is to provide yield-focused investors with an attractive risk-adjusted income opportunity to participate in the dual future growth of AI equities and Bitcoin, underpinned by the Company's profitable operations educating and upskilling students to prepare them for the future.

Lab-made DNA can store memory like a flash drive
August 24, 2026
The new device combines synthetic DNA and a semiconductor to create an efficient memory resistor, or 'memristor.'
Our DNA stores a remarkable amount of information. A single gram contains about 215 million gigabytes of data on everything from our eye color to the shape of our feet. Now, scientists are harnessing this storage power to make a low-power memory device.
The technology combines synthetic DNA and a semiconductor to create a memory resistor, or “memristor.” It can store and process information in the same place. According to the team, the device uses 100 times less power while storing more than traditional tools like flash drives. The memristor is described in a study published in the the journal Advanced Functional Materials.

President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to create a Presidential Commission to begin the process of establishing a new federal academy that will prepare the next generation of Americans to advance our Nation’s interests in space.
Space is a critical domain for American national security, economic growth, scientific discovery, and technological innovation. American superiority in space depends not only on our technology, but on the strength, skill, and character of the Americans who explore, secure, and build the industries critical to it.

Chris's journey started in 2011, when a friend who was “seriously into shares” told him that Bitcoin was going to be a “massive thing,” and eventually convinced him to invest. He “cautiously” bought £1,500 worth of the cryptocurrency, and “within weeks it was creeping up,” Chris remembers.
Chris, who wants to remain anonymous, lost access to his digital wallet containing about £4,000 worth of Bitcoin when the trading platform Intersango went bust in 2014. At the time, the site had more than 5,000 accounts.
After several failed attempts to make contact with the company over the years, Chris resigned himself to having lost the cryptocurrency. But earlier this year he made one more attempt, enlisting the help of lawyers to prove he owned dozens of the "lost" Bitcoin; within months, the coins were returned to him - and are now worth around £3.3 million.

Evernorth Holdings, Inc. announced that the SEC has declared its S-4 registration statement effective, allowing progress toward a public listing.
Evernorth is a digital asset treasury company designed as a regulated vehicle for public market investors seeking exposure to XRP. It aims to actively deploy capital into XRP-based infrastructure and execute treasury strategies to grow its XRP-per-share.
"We plan to enter public markets as blockchain utility continues to grow, and we believe institutional finance will increasingly be built on-chain," — said Evernorth Founder and CEO Asheesh Birla. "Evernorth is designed to accelerate XRP's role in that work."
Evernorth said the SPAC merger is expected to close in late Q3 or early Q4 of this year, subject to shareholder approval. Its investors include Ripple, Arrington Capital, SBI Group, Pantera Capital, Kraken, and GSR, among others.

OpenAI said it will end its partnership with Cursor after the AI-coding agent’s acquisition by SpaceX. In a separate post on its website, OpenAI said it has informed Cursor that it will wind down their contract with a proposed shutoff date of Nov. 12.
"We know that the people most affected by this decision are the developers who rely on OpenAI models in Cursor. We care about their experience in this transition and we’re ready to go above and beyond to support them," — OpenAI said.

Ripple has outlined a four-stage plan to prepare the XRP Ledger for quantum computers that could eventually expose the private keys protecting digital assets.
“The goal is not to wait until quantum computing becomes an immediate threat,” — Ayo Akinyele, senior director of engineering at Ripple, said. “It is to make sure critical financial infrastructure can evolve well before that point without disrupting the systems, assets and users that depend on it.”
The XRP Ledger already allows users to replace the keys controlling an account without changing the account itself, a feature Ripple says could make a future migration easier. The network’s independent validators would still have to coordinate any wider change to the rules governing transactions.
“That upgrade will go well beyond swapping out one cryptographic algorithm for another,” — Akinyele said. “It will require more agile infrastructure, stronger key management, clearer upgrade paths and systems that can evolve without disrupting the financial activity they support.”🚀
The move comes as Bitcoin and Ethereum developers work on ways to replace the digital signatures their networks use today before quantum computers can break them.

A $4.3 billion space telescope is set to lift off from Florida early on Sunday, Aug. 30, as NASA embarks on the next stage of its quest to unlock the secrets of the universe. Roman also contains a specialized instrument known as a coronagraph that blocks glare from stars and makes it easier to photograph planets around them in detail.
“Roman will pair a large field of view with crisp infrared vision to scan vast, deep swaths of sky. This flagship mission is designed to help astronomers explore dark matter, dark energy, and planets outside our solar system.”

Xbox has unveiled its long-rumored new disc-to-digital service, which will let players who own physical copies of games claim digital entitlements, playing them as if they own digital copies. In an announcement, Microsoft confirmed support will include digital benefits such as Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
"Players have spent decades building their XBOX libraries. Some games were purchased on disc. Some were purchased digitally. Many span multiple generations of hardware," — the company said. "Our goal is to make it easier for those libraries to move forward with players."
Xbox Insiders can test the feature from August 31.

The companies said they will combine Dunamu's digital asset technology with Visa's global payments network to explore new services in stablecoin-based payments, cross-border remittances, and AI-driven finance.
On the AI side, Dunamu and Visa will jointly explore agentic commerce as a focus area, in which an AI agent searches for goods or services and completes purchase and payments on a user's behalf.
"The spread of AI, stablecoins and tokenization is a key trend that will change how finance and commerce operate," — Dunamu CEO Oh Kyung-seok said. "Through cooperation with Visa, we will connect digital assets with existing finance and create new global financial experiences that users can feel."🤝

Ripple has begun an intensive, AI-only security review of Lending Protocol V1.1 for the XRP Ledger. The review is being conducted through the Sherlock Audit Engine. The Audit Engine combines leading AI auditors and frontier models equipped with specialized security skills. The system adapts the review process to the scope, complexity, and depth required by the protocol under examination.
Sherlock stated that Ripple is among the teams putting AI-only security review into practice, with attention directed toward rigor, coverage, and real-world results. The firm indicated that a full account of the review would be provided once the process is complete.
The Ripple review occurs amid broader activity involving AI systems in cryptocurrency platforms and protocols.
