first_img On-chain lending company Birch Hill announces core team appointments

On-chain lending company Birch Hill announced on its official account the appointment of Jonathan Thomas as the head of curation. Brad Schlagel, Alex Cornwell, and Ian Plosker joined from the on-chain treasury platform Yearn, responsible for the on-chain lending strategy Birch Hill Absolute Value, while Traver Normandi joined from the on-chain lending risk management company Gauntlet, responsible for business development.According to Birch Hill's announcement, Schlagel previously led the development of Yearn v3 and is currently the portfolio manager and head of strategy architecture; Plosker is the portfolio manager and head of platform engineering; Cornwell was previously responsible for Yearn's business development and is now the head of capital formation. Thomas has worked with the Yearn team on strategies based on the Yearn v3 treasury standard and is now responsible for treasury curation. Normandi previously worked at Gauntlet in institutional business development.Birch Hill is a financial services company headquartered in New York that evaluates, builds, and distributes credit on public chains, and serves as the official curator for the lending protocol Morpho. The company announced on October 28 that it has completed a $4 million seed round of financing, led by Multicoin Capital, with participation from ParaFi Capital, Castle Island Ventures, and Nascent, bringing total funding to $6.5 million. The company stated in a follow-up post that it will further introduce tokenized credit securities oABS and Birch Hill Absolute Value.

first_img Blockchain Space Company Gattaca released the Ethereum consensus client Silver

The blockchain infrastructure company Gattaca announced the launch of the open-source Ethereum consensus client Silver. The company operates the Ethereum block builder Titan Builder and the relay Titan Relay. Gattaca stated that Silver was built from scratch, aiming to support shorter time slots and post-quantum security while maintaining decentralization, censorship resistance, privacy, and security. Currently, Silver is in the alpha stage, with audits and final testing yet to be completed.Gattaca claims that Silver's state transition function has a p99 latency of less than 10 milliseconds, approximately 10 times faster than other clients. During the mainnet window from October 17 to 20, 2026, Silver, Prysm, Lighthouse, and Grandine processed the same 20,300 canonical blocks. The median block processing latency for Silver was 6.5 milliseconds, with a p99 of 9.5 milliseconds, and the slowest block in the sample was 17.8 milliseconds; the second-lowest median was 33.5 milliseconds, and the second-lowest p99 was 91 milliseconds. All four clients operated as supernodes, subscribing to all 64 proof subnets and hosting all 128 data columns, with the executing client being ethrex v29.0.1.The above comparison used consensus processing metrics available for each client, excluding execution client processing time. Silver is based on Gattaca's Flux framework, using six threads bound to CPU cores for parallel processing, and comes with a low-latency peer-to-peer network, state hash library, formally verified BLS and KZG cryptographic libraries, and a node cluster for penalty protection. In another comparison, supernodes needed to verify about 32 times the proofs and about 16 times the KZG unit proofs relative to the default configuration, with block processing latency and resident memory still within a similar range.
