Unity Nodes (unitynodes.eth)

Lumera is launching a major update this week - release 1.8.5 is going live on mainnet, and together with it SuperNodes finally appear and Cascade opens SuperNodes are not validators but rather service nodes that handle tasks regular nodes simply can’t manage. They are responsible for the work of three modules: - Cascade (permanent storage) - Sense (content verification with AI) - Inference (AI computations directly on the blockchain) The most interesting part for operators is that they receive almost all revenue from these services - 98% of the fees, and this depends on how actively the network is used Along with the launch of SuperNodes, Cascade also opens. Now on mainnet you can store data indefinitely - you upload it once and that’s it, nothing else is required.

Story has introduced Confidential Data Rails (CDR) - and it feels like a serious step forward in how private data can exist on a blockchain In short, CDR allows encrypted files to become programmable - each file carries its own rules, access conditions, and only unlocks when those conditions are met The idea emerged while working on IP Vaults At first, Story was solving the problem of securely delivering encrypted IP data to licensees, but it quickly became clear that the challenge was much broader A new infrastructure layer was needed - and that’s how CDR was born

Celestia provides data availability through its own PoS blockchain called celestia-app This chain doesn’t do smart contracts; it just puts out data, so rollups can use it It runs on celestia-core, which is like a changed-up version of the Tendermint system. Here’s what Celestia did differently with Tendermint: • They put in a way to fix data even if some nodes lose pieces of it • They switched out regular Merkle trees for Namespaced Merkle Trees, so each rollup grabs only its stuff instead of the entire block Celestia-core works with celestia-app using ABCI++, which handles Celestia’s Proof-of-Stake stuff and how it's managed But here’s the main thing: celestia-app doesn’t check or run application data It just makes sure the data is there for anyone who wants it Rollups handle running things, and Celestia makes sure data is open This means no fighting for block space, cheaper scaling, and easier checking because of DAS

Through a groundbreaking partnership, @linera and Soundness Labs, are bringing the world’s first fully decentralized verification layer for Zero-Knowledge proofs - compatible with multiple ZK systems. So what does that mean in practice? Verifying proofs is now not only faster but also cheaper. @linera brings in its microchain architecture - every user or app can run its own lightweight blockchain. That means almost unlimited scaling and real-time performance for dApps and zkApps. Soundness Labs on the other hand, adds support for multiple ZK systems (SP1, Ligero, Groth16, Risc0, Noir, STARK and more), plus stronger economic security with restaking and a decentralized validator network. On top of that, their attestations work across several ecosystems - Ethereum, Sui, Linera, and beyond.

Blockchains try to scale by making blocks bigger or faster - but this leads to higher latency, centralization risks & heavy hardware needs. @linera takes another path: It scales through unlimited microchains - lightweight parallel chains validated by the same set of validators. • Each user/app can have its own chain • New chains created instantly, no limit • All share the same security • No need for extra validators • Finality in <0.5s Instead of pushing blockchains harder, @linera expands capacity elastically - making Web3 apps faster, safer & truly scalable.

How do you turn intellectual property into real income? Story has the answer: Royalty Module - enables automated revenue sharing across IP Assets (IPAs). Each asset has a Royalty Vault with 100 Royalty Tokens, each representing 1% of the asset’s total revenue. Two base models exist: • LAP (Liquid Absolute Percentage) → all derivatives share with the parent IP. • LRP (Liquid Relative Percentage) → only direct derivatives share with the parent IP. But real-world cases often need more flexibility. That’s where External Royalty Policy comes in. This is a custom smart contract defining unique rules such as: • Dynamic percentages • Revenue thresholds • Priority payback for investors. For Example - Investor puts $1M into a pharma product. The first $1M profit goes entirely to them. Afterwards, profits are split 70% to the scientist and 30% to the investor. Story turns IP into real financial assets and unlocks new flexibility for both creators and investors.
