European officials say Alexei Navalny was poisoned in prison with a rare toxin. The allegations, resurfacing prominently at the Munich Security Conference, directly blame the Kremlin and intensify diplomatic tensions. Moscow denies involvement.

In 2026, investigations don’t happen in smoky backrooms. They happen in front of screens, inside datasets, across encrypted networks. Power leaves digital fingerprints. Our job is to find them.

AI in medicine isn’t dangerous because it makes mistakes. It’s dangerous because it can make confident mistakes. When a model invents a diagnosis that sounds plausible, the risk isn’t just error — it’s misplaced trust. Augmentation is powerful. Replacement without accountability isn’t.

Ethereum quietly rewriting a core blockchain assumption. If L1 validation moves from re-execution to zero-knowledge proofs, running a validator becomes about cryptographic trust, not raw compute. That’s a real shift for decentralization.

t’s understandable for small states to worry about security guarantees, given recent history. But real stability won’t come from shifting military dependencies. Deterrence may buy time, yet peace requires diplomacy, regional confidence-building, and reducing the conditions make war seem inevitable.

Reducing oracles to “price feeds” is like reducing the internet to email. Weather data, RWAs, events, randomness, AI inputs — all of them need trust-minimized data pipelines.

One reason Band Protocol stayed relevant across cycles: They treated oracles as infrastructure, not a marketing feature. Boring systems tend to last the longest.

The next big Web3 breakthrough won’t be a new chain. It’ll be a new way to verify, route, and price data. Everything else builds on top of that. Agree or disagree?

Morgan McSweeney, Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, said Mandelson has “damaged our party, our country and trust in politics itself.”

Data availability is useless without data integrity. That’s why oracle networks like Band Protocol focus less on hype and more on who produces data, how it’s verified, and how failures are handled. Infra isn’t exciting — until it breaks. hunter.membit.ai?code=BEFLQCEF

One underrated truth in Web3: Blockchains are trust machines, but they’re blind without data. Oracles aren’t just “price feeds” — they’re the bridge that decides whether DeFi, RWAs and AI-on-chain can scale safely. Garbage data = broken trust. Verified data = real adoption.

Everyone talks about AI agents on-chain. Few talk about the real bottleneck: verifiable data. If AI is making decisions with unverified inputs, decentralization becomes cosmetic. The next cycle won’t be about faster chains — it’ll be about who controls and verifies data.
