He expressed confidence that advances in neural language models and new training data will close the gap.

๐ Monad Foundation Offers Subsidies for Secure Signing Devices
#MonadFoundation #Subsidy #SecureSigning #Cryptocurrency #Blockchain #Multisig #VaultManagement #Cybersecurity #KYC #ProtocolSecurity
Monad Foundation has announced plans to subsidize the cost of dedicated signing laptops for teams whose protocols achieve or exceed a total value locked (TVL) of $2.5 million. According to Foresight News, these laptops are intended for use in multi-signature operations, vault management, and other critical tasks. Eligible teams can apply to the Monad Foundation for this subsidy, which may require additional security training and standard KYC procedures. Monad emphasizes that these signing devices must not be used for everyday activities such as web browsing, coding, or meetings.
Previously, Monad co-founder Keone Hon advised protocol teams to immediately adopt dedicated signing computers for multi-signature operations instead of using regular computers. He highlighted the vulnerability of everyday computers to hacking, which could compromise the signing process even when connected to a hardware wallet, posing significant security risks. The Monad Foundation may introduce incentives to encourage teams to adopt this secure method in the future.#MonadFoundation #Subsidy #SecureSigning #Cryptocurrency #Blockchain #Multisig #VaultManagement #Cybersecurity #KYC #ProtocolSecurity

๐ Unusual Oil Market Activity Precedes U.S.-Iran Ceasefire Announcement
#OilMarket #USIran #Ceasefire #TradingAnomalies #OilFutures #MarketManipulation #SEC #CFTC #BrentCrude #EnergyNews
On April 9, unusual trading activity occurred in the oil market just hours before U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement with Iran. According to BlockBeats, at 19:45 GMT on Tuesday, investors unexpectedly sold 8,600 lots of Brent and U.S. oil futures during a non-active trading period, amounting to approximately $950 million.
Less than three hours later, Trump officially announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran. This news caused oil futures to plummet by about 15% at Wednesday's opening, falling below the $100 mark. The strategic short positions resulted in significant profits within hours. This incident is not isolated; on March 23, similar unusual trading occurred 15 minutes before Trump announced a delay in striking Iranian energy facilities, leading to a 15% drop in oil prices. Since the escalation of U.S.-Iran tensions, daily oil trading volumes have doubled to millions of lots.
Congressman Ritchie Torres has formally requested the SEC and CFTC to investigate these "suspicious" trades. Torres emphasized the need to examine the accounts involved due to the trades' speed, scale, and structure. Currently, CME and SEC have declined to comment, while CFTC previously stated it is "monitoring" market anomalies.#OilMarket #USIran #Ceasefire #TradingAnomalies #OilFutures #MarketManipulation #SEC #CFTC #BrentCrude #EnergyNews

Mizuho Securities economists have indicated that despite the significant upward pressure on oil prices due to the Middle East conflict, government subsidies are expected to largely offset the impact on Japan's energy costs. According to Jin10, the economists noted that the effects on commodities, particularly food, will gradually become apparent, with inflation in these categories anticipated to peak between the spring and summer of 2027, implying a lag of four to six quarters. They further stated that due to the expected time required for securing the safety of the Strait of Hormuz and the full normalization of transportation, crude oil prices are likely to remain high in the short term.#Japan #EnergyCosts #MiddleEastConflict #OilPrices #GovernmentSubsidies #Inflation #Commodities #StraitOfHormuz #CrudeOil #EconomicImpact #MizuhoSecurities
