In this week's issue of The Protocol newsletter: - Vana launches token standard - Hashgraph to debut private blockchain - ASICs will look more like servers - An interview with Gensyn’s Ben Fielding Compiled by Ben Schiller #technews #cryptotech #technology

Ben Fielding co-founded Gensyn (along with Harry Grieve) in 2020, or years before Decentralized AI became fashionable. The project was initially known for building decentralized compute – and I’ve spoken with Fielding about this for CoinDesk and on panel after panel at conferences – but the vision is actually something wider: “The network for machine intelligence.” They’re building solutions up and down the tech stack. And now, a decade after Fielding’s noisy desk annoyed his lab-mates, the early tools of Gensyn are out in the wild. Gensyn recently released its “RL Swarms” protocol (a descendant of Fielding’s PhD work) and just launched its Testnet — which brings blockchain into the fold. In this conversation leading up to the AI Summit, at Consensus in Toronto, Fielding gives a primer on AI Swarms, explains how blockchain snaps into the puzzle, and shares why all innovators -- not just tech giants — “should have the right to build machine learning technologies.” Interview with Jeff Wilser. https://trib.al/so00KpN

“For investors who lack access to deep crypto knowledge, broad-based crypto indices offer a streamlined way to gain broad market exposure without the complexities of token selection. Just as ETF investors use index-based funds to gain equity exposure without stock-picking, a diversified crypto index allows for systematic, passive participation in digital asset growth,” said Dovile Silenskyte.

“Proper wallet-based accounting not only keeps you compliant but also prevents surprises if the IRS decides to dig into your transaction history,” says Saim Akif. #Taxes #CryptoTaxes #Accounting
