A proposal dubbed Root Reborn would reshape how Bittensor validators handle yield by reinvesting subnet proceeds instead of automatically selling them. Under the plan, validators would select baskets of subnets to support, resembling portfolio managers, while stakers could still convert returns back to TAO when they choose. The change would shift subnet economics by replacing persistent sell pressure with reinvestment flows.

Solana’s engineering team released new consensus research that challenges the traditional “leader handoff” design and explores an architecture that does not require each block to reference its immediate parent. In a 10-node test cluster spanning Asia, Europe, and North America, the team demonstrated 10ms slot times with block leaders rotating every 10ms despite cross-region delays exceeding 100ms. The work is positioned as research only and does not change the project’s direction for Constellation, but it shows a potential path to moving beyond the network-delay Δ constraint.

The Trump administration opted not to add Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, memory chipmaker ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), and 100 other companies to the U.S. Commerce Department’s Entity List, which targets entities deemed national security risks.

DeepSeek and CXMT had already cleared an interagency review for listing, but the additions were never published, according to reports.
