Kodiak Finance Raises $2M | Luganodes Supports Stacks Network | Pyth Releases New Products | Cube.Exchange Secures $12M

Kodiak Finance, a trading platform native to Berachain, has raised $2 million in seed financing to support its scaling efforts. The funding will be used to increase the pace of scaling and continue delivering trading products.

Luganodes, a provider of blockchain infrastructure, has announced support for the Stacks network and will be a signer on the upcoming Nakamoto upgrade. This allows institutions to earn native BTC rewards while enjoying faster and cheaper transactions with Bitcoin security. Luganodes ranks among the top validators on Polygon, Polkadot, Sui, and Tron.

Pyth, a blockchain oracle project, is launching Pyth Entropy to enhance on-chain random number generation in Web3 verticals such as prediction markets and GameFi. This marks the first deployment of Pyth Entropy on a mainnet blockchain, ushering in a new era for decentralized applications. Pyth has also deployed Pyth Price Feeds on LightLink, an Ethereum layer-2 blockchain, enabling instant and gasless transactions for dApps and enterprises.

Cube.Exchange, a digital asset trading platform, has raised $12 million in a Series A funding round. The funds will be used to expand various areas of the business and obtain licenses. Cube.Exchange previously raised $9 million in a seed round.

The new upgrade allows ZK proofs to enhance runtime support for Solana. With encryption on SPL tokens, users can make private transactions without compromising on security. Solana [SOL] has finally adopted a new update to its validator client known as the Solana v1.16. In an article posted on 6 October, the project’s ultimate developer platform Helium, wrote a detailed explainer on what the latest upgrade is about. Realistic or not, here’s SOL’s market cap in ETH terms ZK-SNARKS to the rescue Before going into the attributes, Helius gave a step-by-step report of how the v1.16 was tested. According to the post, the upgrade was in development for ten good months with efforts by both volunteers and canary nodes. For context, a canary node involves the testing of a new feature with real users before it’s eventually deployed. Helius noted that the Solana v1.16 had been running on Testnet since 7 June. The development team, however, noted that there were some issues with the RPC nodes and a bit of security. But with the help of the canary node, Solana was able to call in Halborn a blockchain security solution firm to audit the upgrade before it went live on Mainnet Beta. Interestingly, the features of the new upgrade constituted some of the benefits users and validators have been hoping Solana integrates. First, Solana noted that the v1.16 upgrade allows for the effective implementation of Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge (ZK-SNARKS). Typically, ZK features are known to be linked with Ethereum [ETH] scaling solutions.  However, Solana’s decision to implement it was because of its mission to enhance runtime support for ZK computations. Hence, the report mentioned that, “These operations are standardized on Ethereum through EIP-196, EIP-197, and EIP-198. The introduction of alt_bn128 syscalls is a significant leap towards bridging the compatibility gap.” Indexing and more for validators Another feature introduced with the upgrade is confidential transfers which also need the Zero-Knowldege input. With Solana’s confidential transfers, users can improve privacy and encrypt transactions and balances of SPL tokens. SPL is an acronym for Solana Program Library. They are similar to Ethereum’s ERC-20 tokens. But what SPL tokens do is a bit different from ERC-20 tokens. Still, they follow a specific standard for creating and managing tokens on the Solana blockchain. For validators, the v1.16 upgrade automatically reduces the Random Access Memory Usage (RAM) for indexing accounts. Since the deployment of the upgrade, validators now run on 39 GB of RAM instead of the previous 120GB. This was also confirmed by Yanshu, a developer from Luganodes. 1/ We've been closely monitoring memory requirements for running @solana nodes & it's remarkable how they've dropped since the release of v1.16! 🚀 We recently upgraded our nodes to the latest v1.16.14, which comes with host of performance improvements & enhanced resiliency🧵👇 pic.twitter.com/D1B423y0Ey — Yanshu | Luganodes (@0xyanshu) September 28, 2023 At press time, data from Solana Beach showed that there were 1,993 validators on the blockchain. Also, 81.1% of the nodes were operating on v1.16.14 while 12.14% upgraded to v1.16.15. How much are 1,10,100 SOLs worth today? Source: Solana Beach Other features of the new upgrade include better resource allocation for deploying applications. Also, v.1.16 addresses introduced the Epoch Account Hash, which allows the Solana network to increase security by identifying corrupt data. While Solana admitted that the ZK integration was long overdue, it noted that it won’t rest on its oars. In concluding the report, its development arm noted that Solana could be working on releasing another upgrade in the next three months, and v1.17 could be next.

Go to Sleep 5

After the initial completion of the conjux endura ceremony, Anode refused to sleep without her arms wrapped around Lug. This was cute, if a bit suffocating for Lug. Typically, she would be able to wriggle out of Anode's grasp at some point in the night and sleep more comfortably. Later on, Anode was content to simply hold Lug's hand as they drifted into recharge.

After reviving Lug, Anode immediately went back to needing to keep Lug firmly in her grasp when resting.

“Anode, I can't move,” Lug smiled despite her annoyance.

“Last time I let you go, you died. I'm not letting that happen again.” Anode pulled Lug closer.

Lug wriggled, trying to get out of Anode's grasp. “This was cute at first, but seriously, let me go.”

It took little effort on Anode's part to keep her conjux in place. She kissed Lug's forehead, “I will keep you safe.”

“You're not keeping me safe! You're keeping me crushed!”

Anode nuzzled her cheek against Lug. “I love you.”

“I hate you.” Lug tried once more to get out of Anode's grasp before she ex-vented and gave up. “You're the worst.”

As always, Anode entered recharge before Lug. This let Lug escape her grasp and find a more comfortable position to lay in. She knew that she would only have to endure Anode being this clingy for a few more cycles. Soon enough, Anode would be content to hold hands while they slept.

But for now, Lug had to endure Anode clutching on to her with all her might.
