Exciting news! We are testing new KOIN and VHP contracts that have been upgraded to the KCS-4 standard and we need your help. Upgrading the main net contracts to KCS-4 will help make Koinos more secure and smart wallet friendly. Since these are new system contracts it's critical that they be thoroughly tested, but don't worry we've made it easier than ever to help test.

This is true. I have only been integrating AI into my workflow for a few more months. But even this week, with Opus 4.6, I can see the difference. I used to have to create a new agent after one compaction. Perhaps I could get away with 2. Now I am going 3, 4, even 5 without seeing major hallucinations. I can have the agent pivot and not get distracted. And I am not working on easy code. This is stuff that would be challenging for a Senior Engineer. Claude is fixing a bug in a day that would probably take me at least a week. It still isn't perfect. Good old human creativity has still saved the day on more than one occasion, but Claude is freaky good.

I've been working with @KoinosVandeberg on a high performance DLT prototype getting some seriously impressive results. This performance profile demonstrates vertical scaling capabilities: more cores = more TPS. How do we balance decentralization and node requirements?

The crypto industry needs standards when benchmarking different networks. Take the recent test of Qubic that resulted in 15.5M TPS. The CertiK report reveals they sent transactions containing transfers to multiple receivers. 16.5M receivers, in fact. Each recipient is counted as a transaction for the purpose of the test. Why does that matter? In a simple transfer the majority of the execution time is spent validating a signature. With this construction, Qubic needs only one signature per 16.5 "transaction". Furthermore, a decent implementation of a multi recipient transfer would not write back the sender balance until the end of the operation. This exacerbates the problem because each "transaction" is doing an average of one database read and write instead of the expected two. We have to do better than this. This industry is supposed to be about decentralization and transparency, yet we are willing to lie just to make a headline. CertiK should redo the test with this definition of a transaction. A uniquely authorized transaction that successfully transfers the least unit of measure from unique party A to unique party B. I guarantee you that Qubic's throughput will still be impressive. I'll bet money they will still be faster than Solana's theoretical max of 65k TPS. But they will be well below 1M peak TPS.

how to know it's a really cool library with no users

This is telling. I know of several influencers not wanting to connect their X account out of gear of being scammed. Yet they have no problem asking you to connect your wallet. So where is their value? It is in their followers. It is YOU! Don't be somebody else's exit liquidity. @KoinosNetwork was fair launched with no VCs.
