In this week's roundup, we discuss Bitcoin’s new highs and the lack of enthusiasm around it, the vibes at Solana’s Accelerate conference, and the sustainability of memecoin activity on Solana. We also dive into Succinct’s SP1 Hypercube and Real-Time Ethereum Proving. Finally, we unpack the Cetus exploit on Sui, and their response. Enjoy!
