Colossus aims to build a permissionless credit card network powered by stablecoins.
True value comes only from systems that are decentralized and permissionless.
By leveraging the existing credit card infrastructure, @colossuspay enables instant settlement on Ethereum using stablecoins. No intermediaries or banks — just real-time, on-chain transactions.
Led by @josephdelong the project is still in its early stages but has the potential to become a cornerstone of decentralized payment systems.
The term “Visa 2.0” reflects the vision: creating a payment network with the reach of Visa but open and permissionless by design.

The new bridge forming between Web3 and AI is starting to stand out
The @ritualnet and @ritualfnd team is rapidly building the Ritual Chain ecosystem, focused on integrating blockchain with AI
It’s definitely worth keeping an eye on where this space is headed
As a freelancer my payments were constantly delayed Last year a friend paid me for a small job using a stablecoin The money arrived instantly no banks no hassle no exchange rate headaches Since then Ive been using it from time to time It didnt completely change my life but it made things a bit more organized and less stressful Sometimes a small convenience is all it takes

When I start evaluating a project, one of the most critical factors for me is the quality of its investor base and the strength of the team behind it.
Looking at @EspressoSys investor lineup, the presence of so many Tier 1 funds clearly shows the confidence the industry has in the project. Major players like @a16zcrypto @polychain @ElectricCapital and @cbventures investing millions demonstrates their belief in the team’s vision and technological approach. Securing a total of 64 million dollars at this scale is quite impressive considering the competitive landscape.
On top of that, raising 4 million dollars on KaitoAI Launchpad despite the tough vesting conditions proves how strong the community support is. Even with zero TGE allocation, a one year cliff, and another full year of vesting, the level of interest was still significant, which reinforces the trust placed in the project.
Espresso’s technical side is just as strong as its investor backing. The team consists of experienced professionals coming from major companies, focusing on solving some of the industry's toughest challenges such as optimizing cross-chain transactions and improving finality times. Their roadmap built around Espresso DA clearly shows the long term direction of the project.
For all these reasons, I believe Espresso has a promising future. The confidence from top tier investors, the technical talent of the team, and the fact that the product targets real industry needs make this project stand out in my eyes.

We’re in the final days of Scavenger Mine. Time to claim NIGHT before November 20, 2025 is running out fast.
The daily allocation now sits at approximately 47.6M NIGHT, a major increase from the previous 30M per day. This boost comes from the total pool being expanded from 626M to 1B NIGHT.
Participation is open to everyone. A computer is all you need, and no purchases are required. Start a session, take on the challenges, submit your solutions, and you’ll be included in the daily allocation snapshot. If you skip a day, you miss that day’s share.
This phase is the second stage of NIGHT distribution from Midnight Network @MidnightNtwrk , and the final 24 hours will move to browser only access starting November 19.
This is truly the last chance. Make sure you get in before this phase ends.

A significant development has been announced in the ZK research space. Tensorswitch is a new polynomial commitment scheme developed by the @EspressoSys team together with @benediktbuenz and Succinct and it brings simultaneous improvements in proving speed cost and proof size. This marks an important step forward for any system that relies on SNARKs
Until now ZK proofs have always required tradeoffs. More speed typically meant larger proofs while smaller proofs often came with higher verification cost or slower performance. This long standing limitation has been one of the main challenges in scaling ZK technology
Tensorswitch changes this balance. It increases prover performance while reducing proof size and lowering verification costs. Improving all three areas at the same time is a structural shift compared to existing approaches
Polynomial Commitment Schemes sit at the core of SNARKs which means the impact of this work reaches a wide range of applications. Teams building rollups privacy focused protocols or any ZK based infrastructure will see direct benefits from these improvements
The performance limits of ZK systems are being redrawn and Tensorswitch is set to play a meaningful role in this shift

Espresso is back in the spotlight and this time it’s redefining the foundation of rollups ☕
In this episode, @benafisch and @jillgun from @EspressoSys share their vision for a new base layer designed specifically for rollups This approach brings real interoperability and instant finality across chains, marking the beginning of a new era in blockchain
From fast finality architecture to seamless Ethereum alignment, the conversation shows how Espresso is not competing with existing ecosystems but strengthening them opening the way to a future where Web3 applications can connect instantly and work together effortlessly
A must watch discussion for anyone interested in the next evolution of blockchain infrastructure
LIVE NOW - Espresso: The Base Layer for Rollups | Ben Fisch & Jill Gunter
@benafisch and @jillgun from @EspressoSys join us to unpack how Espresso is building a new kind of base layer designed specifically for rollups.
We dive into:
- Why fast finality is the missing piece for cross-chain interoperability.
- How Espresso complements Ethereum rather than competes with it.
- What a world of truly composable, instant Web3 apps could look like.
Enjoy the episode!

A Colossus is rising 🗽
A big movement is underway.
The team redefining how money moves has joined forces with the team aiming to reinvent money itself, in collaboration with @colossuspay and @fraxfinance.
Colossus aims to enable instant stablecoin payments using existing credit card infrastructure, with no intermediaries or banks, potentially reducing credit card fees by up to 96.2%.
They plan to create a permissionless credit card network supported by stablecoins. True value comes only from decentralized, open systems.

I’m really excited about the big moves happening in the @CantonNetwork ecosystem.
I want to congratulate @chainlink on joining the Canton Network. Their industry-standard data and cross-chain infrastructure are going to play a crucial role in strengthening on-chain finance, and it’s great to see such developments unfold.
I also want to congratulate @ZeroHashX for joining the Canton Privacy Club. Their support for trading, tokenization, and validation will help institutions build real financial products while ensuring privacy and control are maintained, which is a huge step forward for the ecosystem.
It’s inspiring to witness these collaborations shaping the future of digital finance, and I’m looking forward to seeing the impact they’ll have.
Here’s what Chainlink Co-Founder @SergeyNazarov had to say about the collaboration 👇
Taking the stage at @blockworksDAS : London 2025 is @YuvalRooz Co-Founder & CEO of Digital Asset.
Yuval will share how RWAs, 24/7 settlement, and composability are unlocking real utility for institutions today — and I’ll definitely be tuning in. His vision for the future of digital finance is something I’m eager to hear and take notes on.
