🚢 An ecosystem of founders who ship every week Opshuns Now a twitter up @opshunsx API is now live for production. Still getting everything together to work nicely first on Monad mainnet before enabling the UI I realize I need to write a whitepaper for this @murkfinance Big week for partnerships and making private DeFi easier to use on Monad. Curvance collaboration announced: we are excited to share our collaboration with Curvance: Cross-chain deposits: we integrated Relay so funds from compatible EVM chains and Solana can go directly into Murk on Monad, without a separate bridge-then-deposit flow. Currently in team testing. Smoother deposit experience: clearer source selection, better wallet compatibility,… (@jet_ner) @kamalbuilds posted the thesis for Ava @zerohustletunez This week I filled in the Lender profile on DeltaV so the copilot has the real product, not a blank page. What is actually live: the app on Monad. Connect wallet (browser or WalletConnect), pick a listed NFT or a custom token, lock it in the pool, borrow USDC. Terms in the app are 30% LTV, 7 days, 3% fee. Supply USDC is wired. MERA passkey vault path is in the frontend so the NFT can sit in a passkey account instead of only the connected wallet. @getbagapp Launching API today. Few beta testers have tested it. overall strong activation numbers but need to improve retention. talking to existing users to improve retention. @usepayAi Shipped this week: ✨ Shipped Split marketing, app, and docs across three hosts Serve docs with no extra cost 🔧 Fixes Stop serving the private surface on public hosts WRAITH update — Sep 23: Simple mode. A wallet for people who have never used crypto, and it is now the default. Everything we have shipped so far (confidential balances, quantum-resistant payments, the Reliquary, tokenized stocks, NEAR Intents, the agent) was reachable, but only if you already knew what you were looking for. Six tabs, a 30-card Trade grid, network selectors, HD account indexes. That works for people who already use crypto. Everyone else closes the app. So we built a second… (@dagentx_) Pop-Up Ventures ported new, audited contracts from ARC to MONAD. @deltav_xyz Made the DeltaV site 10x faster than it was before (@bhajipav) Policy Wallets Shipped mvp @mybucks_online New Template Added! We have added a dedicated "Congratulations" card template to p2p.gifts to expand user's experience. @PingMe_xyz Week 26 update: The PingBusiness development team is busy working on new functionalities. A new smart contract has been completed and deployed on Monad testnet. The rest of the system are currently being built and tested. On the business side, we continue to onboard new merchants on our platform @empowertours EmpowerTours update, 21 September 2026 A short window, and the reason belongs at the top rather than buried. The previous update posted at 00:28 UTC today, from the Sunday fallback leg of our own scheduler, because the Monday run for that week never happened. This is the Monday run, sixteen hours later. So this covers sixteen hours, not a week. There is more in it than sixteen hours ought to hold, because almost all of it happened overnight. @LeverUp_xyz LeverUp Weekly Update: Sep 14–20 Product Launched the bStocks bridge with HOODB and BNCB support. Users can now bridge supported tokens between BSC and Monad at a 1:1 ratio in both directions. @SolarDePin Weekly Update: Infrastructure & Core: Continued optimizing our energy-aware orchestration pipeline, linking real-time solar generation metrics directly to AI compute allocation. Events & Deployment: Finalized and submitted the "Solarchik" integration framework for the MunichTech EXPO track, packaging our agentic system for remote evaluation.Integrations: Improved telemetry data collection to handle fluctuating load balancing across green energy nodes more reliably. @SpringX_Finance SpringX 15 th week recap from Sept 14th to Sept 18th: - SpringX has concluded the AUSD lockup on Sept 18th. It's bootstrapped AUSD deposits which are currently at the suppliers' disposal. When the AUSD vault arrives at the $10,000 milestone, the lockup will be applied to it again. @facto_to Another wrap on the week of 9/14! Past Week’s Progress: 1. Completed the one-click deposit demo and shared it with Daniel. 2. Addressed all questions from DCS’s product team. 3. Delivered the codebase to Zerodrift for review. 4. Drafted a new GTM strategy with three integration entry points: deposits, automatic deposits, and spending. The core goal is to get Facto integrated into payment channels, starting with the use case each partner is ready to adopt. 5. Connected with Ruvo, a Brazilian… (@dreambig_peter)

Check out our latest cryptography paper, Batched and Weighted Threshold Encryption with Silent Setup. Building on BTX, this scheme supports many desirable properties of an encrypted mempool: ⚡ Weighted decryption (ideal for Proof-of-Stake blockchains) ⚡ Silent setup (key generation no longer requires interaction between parties) ⚡ Batch and index independence (more user friendly and fewer constraints on decryption) We’re excited about the future of encrypted mempools!

1/ WHY DO SOME ROUTES TOUCH WRAPPED TOKENS? Native MON and wrapped MON are not always the same object in a pool. Sometimes the best liquidity sits behind a wrap/unwrap. Monorail will use that step if it pays you more 👇🏼

Crypto gives developers superpowers - seamless payment acceptance and instant network effects. And while AI has made crypto development easier, one of the pain points is still at the data layer - fundamentally, your agent still needs data from transactions, logs, etc. Right now the query patterns are messy and incur a ton of waste. As one simple example, you might need data from logs, but you need one field from the transaction itself, so you pull a lot of data for both, filter them client-side, and join them. MIP-16 is @category_xyz and @monad 's attempt to address longstanding problems in the RPC data interface by adding a new `eth_query` family of methods that allow for - Filtering - Relations (joins) - Field selection (only request what you need) - Better pagination Filtering: The eth_getLogs method supports log filtering, but there is no way to filter transactions or traces. To query all transactions sent to a specific address, the user must fetch entire blocks and filter client-side Relations: There is no way to join related objects in a single request. To fetch a set of logs and related transaction inputs, the user must make N+1 RPC requests (one to fetch logs, then one per unique transaction) Field selection: Every RPC method returns a fixed object schema. Users that only need block number and timestamp have no choice but to fetch large unrelated fields like logsBloom, only to immediately discard them Pagination: The eth_getLogs pagination design causes frequent timeouts and client-side workarounds. The RPC methods for blocks, transactions, and traces don't support range queries at all We're excited to propose and ship this. We believe in repeatedly and iteratively giving developers better tools. Excellent effort from @typedarray @kyscott18 @andrthesnek and Jay Miller to make this happen
