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.

first_img Cognition acquires AI coding security company Corridor

On October 28, Jack Cable, co-founder of AI coding security company Corridor, and Ashwin Ramaswami published an article on the Cognition official website stating that Corridor will join Cognition and take Devin Security to the next stage. Cognition later stated on X that the company is acquiring Corridor. Cognition is the developer of AI software engineer Devin.Jack Cable and Ashwin Ramaswami wrote that Corridor was founded about two years ago with the mission of accelerating secure and autonomous software development, and it has now become a security layer for AI-native teams. The two stated that they will collaborate with Cognition President and early Corridor advisor Russell Kaplan, Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos, and Chief Technology Officer Steven Hao. They also mentioned that throughout their careers, they have discovered and fixed vulnerabilities in critical systems and believe that AI agents are now capable of executing end-to-end attack chains, necessitating new tools for defenders.Previously, Corridor announced in August 2025 the completion of a $5.4 million seed round led by Conviction, and in March 2026 announced the completion of a $25 million Series A round led by Felicis, with a valuation of $200 million, with participation from Conviction, Timeless, Lux Capital, Datadog, SV Angel, and others. Its product positioning is to embed security controls in the process of AI-generated code, rather than adding security measures after the code is written.

first_img 1kx Report: The share of blockchain revenue accounted for by listed companies has risen to 16%

The cryptocurrency investment firm 1kx released a report stating that publicly listed companies contributed 16% of the blockchain industry's revenue in 2026, more than doubling from 7% in 2022. The report compiled data from over 2,600 protocols and the financial reports of 104 publicly listed companies, with data up to the third quarter; revenue remains concentrated among a few enterprises, with the top six publicly listed companies accounting for about 50% to 60% of that group's revenue.1kx expects the total revenue of the blockchain industry to decline by 28% year-on-year in 2026 to approximately $100 billion, but the share of publicly listed companies continues to expand. Circle's listing in 2025 brought new trading listings, combined with revenue growth from existing companies, driving the share increase; the blockchain-related revenue of the top ten publicly listed companies in the study has doubled over the past three years. In the first half of 2026, Coinbase and Circle together generated approximately $3.3 billion in blockchain-related revenue, publicly listed Bitcoin mining companies around $2 billion, and traditional financial institutions such as JPMorgan, BlackRock, CME Group, Visa, and Robinhood collectively about $1.1 billion.The report also pointed out that revenue from broader economic activities in the third quarter surpassed blockchain infrastructure revenue for the first time, at approximately $5.3 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively. Categories such as tokenized assets, payments, and prediction markets grew by 58% year-on-year in the first half of 2026, with institutional adoption accounting for a total of 33% of the blockchain's total revenue in the third quarter, and an expected annual share of 30%. Data from RWA.xyz shows that the scale of tokenized real-world assets grew by about 51% over the past year, rising from $26.16 billion in October 2025 to $39.54 billion; tokenized stocks grew 471% during the same period to $3.77 billion.
