Democracy died today in Europe.
Chat Surveillance is coming.
The EU is a farce to sell the people the illusion of sovereignty.
But encryption does not care about undemocratic laws.
Even with supercomputers the size of continents, running for millions of years, powered by the total energy of the sun, the physical and mathematical rules of strong cryptography cannot be bent.
There is no amount of coercive force that can break mathematics and physics.
Privacy will win at the end.

Die erste (illegale) Abstimmung zur Chatkontrolle ist gerade durchgegangen - Donnerstag fällt im Plenum die endgültige Entscheidung, ob zukünftig ALLES, was Sie im Netz schreiben, gescannt wird…
Ich habe heute versucht, die Chatkontrolle zu stoppen.
Am Wochenende mussten Sibylle Berg und ich Parlamentspräsidentin Metsola schriftlich mitteilen, dass das Durchprügeln der Chatkontrolle im Eilverfahren leider gegen die Geschäftsordnung des EU-Parlaments verstößt. Während Metsola der interessierten Presse daraufhin (fälschlicherweise) mitteilte, dass das schon alles seine Richtigkeit habe, warten wir immer noch auf ihre Antwort.
Deshalb wollte ich es ihr heute bei der Eröffnungssitzung in Straßburg noch einmal erklären. Und musste erstaunt feststellen, dass die Präsidentin doch Regeln kennt: Exakt nach 60 Sekunden hat sie mir das Mikrophon abgestellt. (regelkonform, wird aber selten gemacht)
Dabei hätte ich noch einiges zu sagen gehabt: "Frau Präsidentin, Sie wachen nach Artikel 22 über dieses Regelwerk (mit der ausgedruckten Geschäftsordnung wedelnd) - erklären Sie den Eilantrag für unzulässig. Wir sind hier schließlich nicht auf Malta! Die aktuelle Fassung der Geschäftsordnung überreiche ich Ihnen gerne persönlich. In der MEP-Bar."
Wie es nun weitergeht? Morgen wird über das Eilverfahren abgestimmt, obwohl diese Abstimmung gar nicht stattfinden dürfte. Wenn der Antrag erfolgreich ist, kommt die Chatkontrolle Donnerstagmittag zur Abstimmung ins Plenum. Um sie noch zu stoppen, müssten 361 Abgeordnete - eine qualifizierte Mehrheit - DAGEGEN stimmen.
Die schlechte Nachricht: Donnerstag ist der letzte Tag vor der Sommerpause und viele MEPs dürften bereits auf dem Weg in den Urlaub sein. Ein Schelm, wer Böses denkt bei dieser Terminierung... Smiley!
Wenn die Chatkontrolle durchgeht, dürfen die Plattformen (also die US-Tech-Bros) wieder & weiterhin fröhlich & ganz legal Ihre Nachrichten scannen. Schreiben Sie also gefälligst etwas unterhaltsamer in den kommenden Wochen... ZwinkerSmiley!

NEWS: @Arcium announces Blackthorn, a confidential AI infrastructure that networks existing NVIDIA GPUs into an encrypted supercomputer, securing every prompt, file, model, and output end-to-end so data remains invisible to cloud providers, operators, and even Arcium.

Arcium and peaq bring confidential compute to robots
Any machine or machine fleet running peaqOS can compute over sensitive data without ever exposing it
→ peaqOS provides identity and coordination
→ @Arcium runs the computation confidentially
Arcium is now live on peaq's robotic.sh, on @solana

In 2024, Arcium acquired its largest enterprise competitor developing the most performant confidential AI protocol on the market
In 2025, Arcium was accepted into the NVIDIA Inception Program
AI has always been a core part of the vision.
Arcium Blackthorn™ will make it real.

black·thorn /ˈblakˌθôrn/ n.
A dense, thorny shrub (Prunus spinosa) planted for centuries across Celtic and Northern Europe as a living barrier around home and livestock. Self-rooting and thriving in poor ground, its thorns break off beneath the skin, leaving wounds that linger.

I’ll be in Seoul this week for Arcium Summer Seoul Edition!
Our last @Arcium Summit in Seoul a couple of weeks ago was one the best crypto event we’ve ever hosted!
Looking forward to seeing many friends from our Korean community and even more new faces this week!
🇰🇷☂️
세 번째 서울 밋업을 발표하게 되어 정말 기쁩니다

solana pretty quickly accelerating on all parts of the stack
already the fastest & cheapest blockchain + home to most retail onchain activity while solana eco teams keep shipping aggressively
believe privacy will continue to be popular narra
$ARX is one of the more interesting privacy bets coming to Solana.
@Arcium is building encrypted compute infrastructure, allowing apps to process sensitive data without exposing user balances, inputs, or transaction details.
Why ARX is worth watching:
• Arcium is positioned as Solana’s leading privacy protocol, with one of the most active encrypted compute networks globally.
• The network has routed over 5M transactions, averaging roughly 10,000 daily transactions, while recently reaching a new transaction high.
• Its C-SPL standard brings private balances and private transfer amounts to Solana tokens. This gives teams a path to build privacy-first payments, payroll, OTC trading, private funds, and compliant off-ramp products.
• C-SPL is already being integrated by privacy-focused off-ramps, showing early demand beyond a concept stage.
• Arcium acquired Inpher’s core team and technology. Inpher worked on private computation, partnered with NVIDIA, and previously raised $25M from JPMorgan.
• Arcium raised $14M from Coinbase Ventures, Jump, Greenfield, Toly, Mert, and others. Its last public sale implied a $200M FDV. Focus on my key word “jump”
• ARX launches with 21% circulating supply, with public-sale tokens representing only 2% of supply. There are no further unlocks for 12 months after TGE.
• Expected listings include Coinbase, Bybit, Binance Alpha, and Kraken.
The core thesis is simple.
Solana has speed and liquidity. Arcium adds confidential computation, allowing applications to use private data without turning into black boxes.
If encrypted balances, private transfers, and confidential onchain applications become a major category on Solana, ARX sits close to the infrastructure layer.
I wasn’t eligible but best believe will scoop a little at these levels I expect a short squeeze to play out in the coming days due to the fud

Today we launched Arcium Mainnet! ☂️
This is the beginning of the confidential revolution for AI and finance!
We're already the most-used confidential compute network in crypto, with over 1.6M confidential computations and 6M transactions on @solana.
We'll not just scale on-chain confidentiality to bring all of traditional finance on-chain, but fundamentally, the next frontier is capturing confidential AI.
The most secure, scalable and globally spanning <confidential> AI product on the market will be unveiled in the coming days together with our plan to revolutionize how AI is being used with Arcium.
The goal from here is colossal: make @Arcium the supercomputer that powers confidential AI and finance for the entire world!

fudders:
"solana can't do privacy"
arcium:
private PoW mining: @zinc_cash
private trading: @vanishTrade
private neobank: @stealf_finance
private prediction markets: @pythiamarkets
private AI: @SolRouterAI
private ICO: @craftsdev
private venture fundraising: @seedplex_io
private trading: @UmbraPrivacy
privacy has always been crypto’s most mispriced narrative.
every privacy chain bootstrapped users from zero.
xmr & zec sit at $6 to 7b fdv on ~200k users each.
@Arcium inherits solana’s ~170m users on day one, encrypted by default.
the asymmetry isn’t subtle.
