Is it just me, or is this NYTimes article deeply misleading? AI-driven ETH result has theoretical importance but little if any immediate practical importance. Maybe it foreshadows later breakthroughs. But it doesn't "[blow] up a key tenet of [comp sci]". nytimes.com/2026/11/06/sci…

Cross River is building with @Offchain Enterprise Services

Very excited to support their business as one of the biggest banking as a service companies out there.

Our team will be working very closely with theirs for the build out of a proprietary tokenization engine, all with settlement to @Arbitrum and wallet infra powered by @ZeroDev

The programmable economy is growing, and Offchain promises to be at the center of it.

Fast Feed + PGA, now live on @Arbitrum, accelerates two halves of the same loop:

Observe → Decide → Bid → Execute

Fast Feed streams ordering + tx data during block construction, before the completed feed publishes (Observe -> Decide). PGA, priority gas auctions determines ordering (priority fee, two rounds per 250ms block), (Bid -> Execute).

Important notes:

Fast Feed can't frontrun. By the time a tx is published, the sequencer has already fixed its position. Think of FF as low latency observation, not insertion.

PGA, similar to timeboost previously, only allows backrunning (not frontrunning or sandwiching) since the mempool is still private.

Excited to finally see this in action on mainnet.

Having taught @smehmood when he was younger, I can attest that he is not a "random engineer." Not surprised to see him building something big.

Does money buy success in MLB? 2026 statistics suggest that payroll explains only 3% of the variance in teams' winning percentage.
