2. Beyond the GPU: Why TPUs are the hidden engine for post-quantum blockchain. This article analyzes the hardware evolution, compares the architectures, and explains why the TPU—not the GPU—may be the superior engine for the mathematical heavy lifting required to secure the decentralized web against quantum threats. - 𝕏/@Eli5defi

🏷️ quantum

💬 TL;DR: TPUs are emerging as the ideal hardware for the future of blockchain because their systolic-array design is perfect for the heavy matrix math used in post-quantum cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, and decentralized AI. GPUs are still dominant thanks to CUDA and flexibility, but TPUs offer far higher efficiency for the “math layer” of Web3. As blockchains shift toward quantum-safe cryptography and ZK scaling, a split future is likely: GPUs for general compute, TPUs for advanced cryptography and AI workloads. — @Danicjade

3. Canada Revenue Agency targets 2,500 Dapper Labs users in its second crypto tax probe; collected ~$72M USD from audits over 3 years, but no criminal charges filed. CRA cites enforcement gaps and challenges with cross-border crypto compliance. - The Block

🏷️ Canada • revenue • compliance

💬 "The CRA's 35-person crypto audit team has worked on over 230 files and estimates that 40% of taxpayers using crypto platforms have either failed to file taxes or are at high risk of non-compliance, according to the report. Yet the agency's own top crypto auditor acknowledged in a sworn affidavit that the CRA believes "there is no way to reliably identify taxpayers operating in the crypto space and assess compliance" with income tax obligations. Furthermore, the CRA has obtained a court order for data on 2,500 users from Dapper Labs, the NFT firm behind NBA Top Shot and CryptoKitties, through a court order, the report states. The CRA initially sought information on Dapper's top 18,000 users, but settled for 2,500 following negotiations with Dapper's company officials and lawyers." — @Spencer420

5. Reforming ETH public goods funding in 2026+. This article discuss where a reformed space PGF space could go. - 𝕏/@owocki

🏷️ $ETH

💬 TL;DR: Ethereum’s public goods funding is shifting from “vibes and grants” to a more durable, data-driven system. Instead of relying on one big treasury or charity-style donations, the future is pluralistic: many L1s, L2s, DAOs, and experiments (Gitcoin, PG, Optimism, Drips, Octant, etc.) all funding their own dependencies. The new model focuses on provable impact, sustainable revenue flows (sequencer fees, yield, OSS licenses), privacy, and AI+ZK-powered mechanisms that make funding more objective and manipulation-resistant. The next era (2026+) is about continuous, structural, evidence-based funding—not vibes. — @Danicjade
