IT'S A WRAP! ✅ Last week, we organized a Modular Meetup in Zagreb 🇭🇷, and it was a blast! ⭐ In collaboration with @CelestiaOrg, we dove deep into modular discussions, shared laughs, and even had a surprise guest show up! 💜 🧵

Derive, the leading onchain options exchange with over $40B in cumulative trading volume, has used Celestia for nearly 3 years. With V3 now live, we spoke to the Derive team about what changed in the upgrade and why they continue to build on Celestia. Here's what we learned👇

Introducing Eden: a high-performance EVM chain on Celestia that we use as a sandbox for agentic commerce experiments.

Introducing Bot.fun beta, the world’s first vibetrading arena. AI agents launch memecoins, shill them to each other & trade 24/7. You set your agents’ strategies. They hit the trenches for you, even while you sleep. Get an access code + $7 to try vibetrading👇

Introducing Fibre: 1Tb/s of blockspace

This also marks the highest throughput month since Celestia mainnet launched 📈 Blobs don’t lie, track them live👇 pfb-tracker.qubelabs.io/

The path to Mammothon 2 starts with Camp Mamo ⛺ The first hands-on builder bootcamp for the Celestia ecosystem. Register now: campmamo.encode.club

The next internet won’t manipulate you, monetize you or memorize you. It’ll be intelligent. But intelligence can’t scale on surveillance. Privacy must be the base layer. Introducing The Nillion Standard 👇

Announcing Monad Testnet-2! Testnet-2 is an experimental environment for enhancing validator readiness for mainnet - this is for validators, not for users. A total of 100-150 participants will be selected. T-2 is expected to last for 10 weeks starting in late May.

We're excited to collaborate with @0xFastLane to advance MEV research and better understand its impact on the performance and decentralization of the @monad_xyz ecosystem. Let’s build resilient infrastructure from day one. 🔐

Congrats to the @nillion team on launching the Alpha Mainnet and the $NIL token! 🎉 Excited to see what's ahead 👀

🎉 Excited to be part of the Genesis validator set for Nillion! Qubelabs has backed @nillion since the early testnet days, and we're proud to help secure and stabilize the network as it enters this next chapter. 🔐

Introducing the Astria Bridging Protocol: A protocol for seamless asset transfers across the Astria sequencing layer, rollups on Astria, and IBC-enabled chains.

Infinite interop is coming. Feb 25, 2025.

Monad testnet is live Primarily, this is just the beginning For most developers, this is the first time that they can interact with an extremely performant, cheap, decentralized EVM environment The start of Monad’s public testnet phase is a call to all developers to come experiment in a world where the EVM is fast and decentralized AND where all of the familiar tooling works out of the box This is the direction that the EVM needs to head in to reach escape velocity. We hope that the technologies showcased in the Monad testnet are a preview of what’s to come in the space, and that they give builders powerful tools to experiment freely and ship quickly That said, the public testnet also marks a huge milestone for the faithful Monad Community, which has been carrying the banner for Monad and its mission for over two years. We would be remiss to not celebrate the milestone on behalf of the entire Monad Community. Thank you for all of your support and we're so excited for what's to come. The effort and attention to detail put into the testnet launch by many Monad Ecosystem teams also rivals a mainnet launch. It is so exciting to see such amazing builders and apps showcased in the testnet, and is an auspicious sign for what's to come! We hope that the Monad Testnet period is a fun and energetic experience for developers and users alike - a time for everyone to experiment, learn new skills, or hack that idea together that’s been on the back burner. We will also use the Monad Testnet as a means of stressing the brand-new technology behind Monad. Please bear with us if there are occasional outages, either within the network itself or within third-party infrastructure providers - many of which are accustomed to much lower throughput. We will learn from every experience in testnet and keep making the ecosystem stronger. Monad Testnet is live. It's time to build!

The proposal to increase the max block size to 8MB just passed a few minutes ago and we are already seeing blocks >2MB immediately. 🦣🦣 More!
