Surveillance and analytics company Palantir recently posted what it called a “brief” 22-point summary of CEO Alexander Karp’s book “The Technological Republic.” Written by Karp and Palantir’s head of corporate affairs Nicholas Zamiska, “The Technological Republic” was published last year and described by its authors as “the beginnings of the articulation of the theory” behind Palantir’s work. (One critic said it was “not a book at all, but a piece of corporate sales material.”) The company’s ideological bent has come under more scrutiny since then, as tech industry figures have debated Palantir’s work with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and…

Google Quantum AI released a paper that sent ripples through the blockchain world. The research confirms something notable: Algorand is among the most advanced chains when it comes to post-quantum security. According to the findings, Algorand has had PQ‑secure state proofs since 2022. The first live post‑quantum transaction on Algorand took place in 2025. To date, the network has processed over 140,000 quantum‑resistant transactions on mainnet. All of this is built directly into the protocol (no roadmap promises, no future opt‑in). It’s been running for 3.5 years. That’s a big achievement. Algorand deserves credit for being ahead of the curve.…
