And that's a wrap on 2025/26. From founding the lab to teaching our first course, competing at ETHGlobal and Colosseum, and building across two chains. This was just the beginning.
The next year is shaping up to be even bigger. New course, new deploys, new collabs. Let's go 🚀

New academic year starts in a few weeks so before that, here's everything we built, shipped, and learned over the past 12 months 👇
Wrapping this audit (actually two audits 😅) in such a tight schedule was demanding — but we made it! 🎉
Huge thanks to @CODESPECT for the excellent approach: always available, fast to react, helpful, and full of valuable suggestions.
And thanks to all researchers who contributed during the public audit phase. 🙌
🛡️ SpecSiege (audit contest) is a wrap.

As a university, we aim to be actively involved in developing and sharing knowledge about cutting-edge technologies. We also like to bring them into real-world use. Being part of the @TACEO_IO node operators is an honor for us and gives us the opportunity to contribute to advancing this technology while tackling complex challenges along the way!
The TACEO Network is live!
A private execution layer for digital rails. The cryptographic infrastructure behind it already secures personal data for nearly 18 million people.
A big thanks to @unofficialtool from @SolanaCZE and @jecikpo from @CODESPECT, who shared their experience in the field and demonstrated how AI can be effectively used in modern project development.
This week, @rezabfil from Flashbots, @TU_Muenchen, and @SpaceComputerIO delivered a talk on Trusted Execution Environments to our students in the Blockchain Course. It was a great presentation packed with valuable insights. We appreciate you sharing your knowledge, Filip!
