deBridge founder Alex Smirnov has urged validators on the Flow blockchain to stop processing transactions until the Flow Foundation devises a remediation plan for users impacted by its controversial rollback of the chain.The rollback was in response to the theft of $3.9 million on Dec. 27 when an attacker exploited a flaw in Flow’s execution layer and siphoned funds off the chain via multiple cross-chain bridges.deBridge is one of Flow’s main bridge providers and Smirnov called on Flow to clarify plans to address doubled balances for users who bridged out during the rollback window.Flow validators haven’t been able to heed…

This year also taught me that while government dashboards may boast of progress, the ground reality often tells a “cruel truth.” In Tripura, where official data shows over 86 per cent functional tap water coverage, I found tribal women still trekking through steep terrain to fetch water from mountain springs because the taps back home were never connected to a pipeline, or discharge contaminated water.My experiences only reinforced what I always believed. Environmental journalism cannot be outsourced to algorithms or government press releases. Content creation cannot replace ground-up reporting. As journalists, we must travel to these far-flung edges not just…

Take a look at the agenda for the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show if you want to see where agentic AI is headed. Said agenda is loaded up this year with keynotes and use cases from the manufacturing sector. While consumer-facing use cases get a lot of the headlines, the manufacturing sector could be the key for how the Prompt Economy will show up for B2B and internal workflow applications. A good example can be seen in an article published last week by Industrial Equipment News. The publication argues that agentic AI is pushing manufacturing into a new phase defined by adaptive,…

Pune: Industrialist Gautam Adani on Sunday said that AI (artificial intelligence) is no longer just a technology race, it is a contest for global domination, adding, “If Bharat does not build its own AI models and its own compute infrastructure and its own intelligence ecosystem, then our behaviours, preferences, markets and decisions will be extracted, trained upon and monetised by other nations.”He was speaking at the inauguration of Vidya Pratishthan’s Sharadchandra Pawar Artificial Intelligence Centre of Excellence in Baramati where NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, Baramati MP Supriya Sule, deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, his wife and Rajya Sabha MP…

US senator Bernie Sanders amplified his recent criticism of artificial intelligence on Sunday, explicitly linking the financial ambition of “the richest people in the world” to economic insecurity for millions of Americans – and calling for a potential moratorium on new datacenters.Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democratic party, said on CNN’s State of the Union that he was “fearful of a lot” when it came to AI. And the senator called it “the most consequential technology in the history of humanity” that will “transform” the US and the world in ways that had not been fully discussed.“If…

Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. The global tokenization market size reached approximately $1.24 trillion in 2025, a significant increase from $865.54 billion in 2024, with projections for multi-trillion-dollar growth by the end of the decade. This growth was primarily driven by regulatory clarity in key jurisdictions. This is Part Two of a four-part series where I evaluate key energy requirements to support the growth in AI-driven tokenization necessitating orbital cloud data centers. Part One: 2025 was the year of tokenization. Part Three…

The IoT is based on systems that monitor, adjust, and collect the interactions between the various connected devices. For example, if we have a smart thermostat at home, and it detects that the temperature is very low or very high, it sends the information through the internet to a server. The server processes the data, and from it, it can send automatic instructions (such as connecting the air conditioning if it is too warm) or send you phone notifications to let you know what is happening to let you decide. Therefore, in addition to the connected objects themselves, the Internet of Things…
