    From Downtober to Bullish November? November Crypto Forescast, Solana's ETF Moment, DAT Hype & the Great Consolidation - State of the Trenches

    Welcome to State of the Trenches, Episode 1: "November Forecast." We kick off this new weekly series with a deep dive into what's really moving crypto markets as we head into the final stretch of 2025. Is November shaping up to be a bullish rebound after "Downtober"? We break down Solana's historic leap onto Wall Street with Bitwise's record-setting Solana Staking ETF (BSOL), Grayscale's GSOL approval, and Western Union's move to build stablecoin payments on Solana. We also unpack the hype around NEAR's so-called Digital Asset Treasury (and why it's not the same as a true ETF), plus Blockworks' pivot from news to data, the broader wave of industry consolidation with M&A activities surging, and why Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are the only assets truly leading this cycle. Expect real-talk market insights, skepticism where it's due, and an outlook ahead of Devconnect Buenos Aires. No hopium, no fluff: just what's happening in the trenches.

    Can Modular Blockchains Be Profitable? - Celestia Revival Plan

    Celestia, with its ticker $TIA, pioneered the modular blockchain thesis, separating consensus from execution and redefining how blockchains scale. Two years after its mainnet launch, how is the modular vision holding up, and can modular blockchains actually become profitable? What is a revival plan for $TIA?  In this first Finality interview, Viet, Head of Developer Relations at Celestia Labs, joins Juri Maibaum to discuss the economics, adoption, and challenges of building sustainable modular infrastructure. Together, they unpack: How Celestia has evolved since its 2023 launch The lessons from the airdrop era and early hype What it takes to attract real builders and users The economics of modular ecosystems and validator incentives How Celestia plans to scale, grow, and stay relevant in 2026 If you care about the economics of decentralized infrastructure, from modular rollups to validator profitability, this episode is for you.

  4. Frens Validator → Finality: How We Built a $70M Validator & Why We're Evolving

    Frens Validator → Finality: How We Built a $70M Validator & Why We're Evolving

    Frens Validator is now Finality. After building one of the leading retail validators and staking integrations in the space, we decided to pivot. Earlier this year, Frens Validator was acquired by Swyke, which is why we are taking on a new path. We continue to run our own nodes, but with a crisper focus on research and media to explore the business and economics of decentralized networks. Over nearly four years in the Cosmos trenches, we've seen it all! Networks launched and died, incentives evolved, and communities transformed. It became clear to us that for decentralization to remain a relevant aspect in this industry, it needs sound economic rethinking. This is the core of Finality!  Follow Finality: https://x.com/finality_res - - - - DISCLAIMER All information presented in this podcast is meant for informational purposes only and should not be treated as financial, legal, or tax advice.
