A 1 GW AI data center costs around $50 Billion to build. Roughly 45% of that can go to NVIDIA GPUs alone. That’s more than $20 billion in GPUs for a single data center. Let that sink in for a moment.

Archaeology day! 🏺💾 Found this old RAM Magazine in my childhood room, a Greek computer and technology magazine from March 1998. Windows 98 Beta 3. Pentium II motherboards. Linux “the revolutionary.” And apparently CD ROMs were already dead because DVD ROM had arrived. 😄 Also, OCR was a niche concept back then! 28 years later, I still get the same excitement when something new appears and I need to figure out how it works. Some things age better than the hardware. 💾

#SuiOverflow26 is getting very close to its final chapter. We have now spent a lot of time reviewing what builders submitted, and there are some genuinely exciting teams coming out of this year’s hackathon. There is also more coming for the people behind these projects beyond the winners announcement itself. And one more thing I’m particularly happy about: we are making sure strong student participation gets the recognition it deserves too. More very soon. 👀

Hashi has made quite a splash since launching on testnet! 🌊 You can experiment with it and have your agent run a few examples using the TypeScript SDK: mystenlabs.github.io/hashi/d…
Three weeks after launching Hashi Testnet, traction is building: 📥 1.1M+ deposits processed 📤 165K+ withdrawals 🔒 More than 50% of all Bitcoin Signet transactions in the last two weeks came from Hashi test activity

Reportedly working on affordable Quantum 2FA Sui cards. What happened to Coldcard will NEVER happen to my people, but I need to step up with personal time (dear wife, please excuse me) Last year, with help from some friends, I leased a dedicated factory in a secret location to build quantum-safe wallets at scale. Target: < $10 per quantum card key and < 1-2secs per NFC quantum signature. Crypto users shouldn’t be the victims. I won’t allow it. And yeah, I might even sponsor them for the very poor. Everyone deserves top-tier protection hygiene. We shouldn’t be reacting to the quantum or bad randomness threat. We should lead it. And hopefully, one day, even the banks will be using our tech, as you all know me… I’m devoted 🫡 to crypto!

We talk a lot about AI agents becoming economic actors. But for that to work, an agent needs more than an API. It needs to be able to hold assets, sign transactions, make small payments, invoke services, and verify the result, all programmatically. That is where blockchains get interesting for agents. @SuiNetwork in particular has a useful combination here: programmable assets, low latency execution, predictable fees, and a model that maps quite naturally to objects and services. The interesting question now is what agents will start paying each other for.

The agentic side of Sui is becoming more interesting. Agents should be able to discover a service, understand the price, pay for access, and continue execution without account setup, subscriptions, or manual checkout flows. That is why experiments around x402, MPP, and gasless USDC payments on Sui matter. The flow is simple: API request → payment required → prepare and sign payment → call again with the signature → backend verifies → returns the actual payload. The primitive is simple, but the design space around agent-to-service payments is very large. I’ve been playing with a small demo here: x402-invocation-demo.vercel.… #Sui #AIagents #x402 #Web3

Overflow 2026 is approaching the finish line, and soon we'll be celebrating this year's winners. While recognition is important, the real journey begins after the hackathon. Turning a prototype into a successful product requires much more than great engineering. It requires execution, continuous iteration, user feedback, and a sustainable path to growth. That's where I see the role of Builder Growth. We want to support the teams that have both the ambition and the capability to go the distance, helping them transform promising ideas into products that create real value. Winning a hackathon is an important milestone. Building a successful product is the finish line.

Update from the Hashi Testnet trenches: Sui devs are hitting the testnet hard, and we love to see it. A temporary withdraw limit increase was put in place to ease demand. But we realized there's so much that we're building in an "overdrive" mode to manage volumes going forward.

An explainer of the Yen - Dollar situation with the help of ChatGpt The key point is that buying US Treasury bonds does not directly protect the yen. The protection comes from what Japan does with those bonds when the yen is under pressure. Here is the chain. 1. Japan has large dollar reserves Japan has accumulated about $1.2 trillion in US Treasuries over decades because of its trade surplus and foreign exchange reserve management. 2. The yen weakens Suppose USD/JPY rises from 140 to 180. The Bank of Japan or Japan's Ministry of Finance may decide this decline is too rapid. 3. Japan needs dollars to intervene To strengthen the yen, Japan enters the foreign exchange market and: Sells US dollars. Buys Japanese yen. Buying yen increases demand for the currency, which tends to raise its value. 4. Where do those dollars come from? They already own many dollars in the form of US Treasury bonds. They have two choices: Sell some Treasury bonds for cash dollars. Borrow dollars against those Treasuries through facilities such as the Fed's FIMA Repo Facility. 5. Why does the US care? If Japan sells tens of billions of Treasuries: Treasury supply in the market increases. Bond prices tend to fall. Bond yields rise. Higher Treasury yields feed into higher mortgage rates, business borrowing costs, and other interest rates in the US. So the US prefers Japan not to dump large amounts of Treasuries all at once. An analogy Imagine Japan owns a large apartment building worth €1 billion. When it urgently needs cash, it can either: Sell apartments, which pushes property prices down. Borrow against the building instead. The building itself is not protecting Japan's currency. It is simply the asset Japan can use to obtain cash for intervention. Why would the US buy yen? If the US Treasury buys yen, it reduces the amount of intervention Japan must finance by selling Treasuries. In theory, that helps stabilize both: the yen exchange rate, and the US Treasury market. That is why a sharp fall in the yen can become a concern for US financial stability, even though it is a Japanese currency.
🦔The US Treasury bought Japanese yen on Friday for the first time since 2011. But it didn't sell dollars to do it. The NY Fed sold euros and bought yen on behalf of the Treasury through Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, according to the Financial Times. A Reuters photographer caught Treasury Secretary Bessent's notepad at a Camp David cabinet meeting. It read "To Do Buy Japanese Yen $5-10 bil." Japan spent $58.97 billion in a single day to defend its currency, the largest intervention in its history. In January, Bessent refused to help. My Take Japan holds $1.19 trillion in US Treasury bonds, the largest foreign holder on earth. When the yen falls this far, Japan sells those bonds to raise dollars and defend its currency. Every bond Japan sells adds supply to the US bond market and pushes yields higher. The 30-year yield hit 5.23% this week, highest since 2007. Your mortgage, car loan, and credit card APR all follow Treasury yields. The US sold euros to buy yen because if it sold dollars instead, that would weaken the dollar, which goes against US policy. So the euro took the hit and Europe didn't get a vote. Bessent refused to touch the yen six months ago. Friday he bought it with euros through Goldman and Morgan Stanley. Japan also has access to the Fed's FIMA Repo Facility, which lets it borrow dollars against its Treasury holdings instead of outright sales. That could keep over a trillion in US bonds off the open market and hold yields where they are. Japan and the US may announce a joint currency policy as early as next week. A currency crisis in Tokyo just became a US fiscal priority because the chain from a weak yen to a higher American mortgage payment runs straight through the Treasury bond market. Hedgie🤗

I've seen quite a few discussions in the @SuiDevelopers community about the updated #Overflow2026 judging criteria, so I wanted to share some context. Engineering excellence remains the foundation. It always will. But building a successful product takes more than great code. We should ask questions like: • Is the technology innovative and well engineered? • Is the team capable of executing on its vision? • Is there a credible path from prototype to users? • Can this become a sustainable product or business? None of these dimensions alone are enough. The most impactful products are usually built when all four come together.
