When Rayls opened its public mainnet on April 30, 2026, it did so with a roster that most blockchain projects spend years assembling. The Layer 1 chain, built by Parfin (core developer of Ralys), went live recently, and was preceded by Tether made a strategic investment in Parfin, the core developer of Rayls.

Morgan Kinexys deployment and a $1 billion partnership agreement with AmFi – all secured within the 18 months preceding launch. The institutional momentum behind the chain reflects a broader shift in how large financial…

But beneath this surface destruction, something interesting is brewing. Open interest jumped 10.28% to $62.1 million in just one day, signaling that major players are taking positions while retail traders flee. This divergence between price action and derivatives activity often precedes explosive…

A U.S. Senate that’s struggled to move crypto market structure legislation moved like lightning on Thursday to ban themselves from participating in prediction markets.Acting on a simple, 14-line resolution pushed by Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno, the Senate agreed unanimously to put a restriction between members and the increasingly popular, controversial betting platforms that have drawn scrutiny over insider-trading activity and fights over who has regulatory jurisdiction.“United States Senators have no business engaging in speculative activities like prediction markets while collecting a taxpayer-funded paycheck, period,” said Senator Moreno in a Thursday statement. “Serving in Congress should never be about finding…

MacCoss Lab, based at the University of Washington, has spent 17 years maintaining Skyline, an open-source software tool used for protein analysis. With over 700,000 lines of C# code and over 200,000 automated nightly tests, the codebase is a behemoth that has challenged generations of developers.

Skyline’s longevity means its codebase carries decades of accumulated technical debt. Developers rotating in and out often left partially completed projects or untouched code…
