Last we heard, Exoshock was initially targeting a Fall 2025 launch, although developer POLARITYONE was admittedly only a two-person team at the time. It’s had a number of open betas and playable demos, which has helped shape the game to what it is today. Exoshock is a hybrid game, where VR and PC players are able to play together in the same game, offering up firefights in…

Overview of the Current Web3 Gaming Market Despite a rise in the acceptance of digital collectibles, the Web3 gaming industry is witnessing a major drop in funding and wallet activities following a boom in early 2025. Analysts caution potential investors to thoroughly evaluate the sustainability of user engagement before making any financial commitments. The market for Web3 applications, particularly in sports and gaming, is undergoing a significant consolidation phase after a period of speculative excess.

Westpac’s crypto-payment policy, effective Dec. 1, sets a cumulative monthly allowance of A$10,000 across a customer’s relevant accounts and payment methods.The bank’s payment policy lists online banking, the Westpac App, credit cards and debit cards among the channels where the limit may apply.

The policy’s cumulative design means a customer’s payments across those relevant products contribute to…

Today we are releasing Lattice Jolt, a new version of our open source zkVM (zero knowledge virtual machine). The architecture is the same one that already made Jolt the fastest and simplest zkVM available. What changes with this new version is the cryptography underneath it, which now rests on lattices instead of elliptic curves. This one change does three things at once: It makes Jolt post-quantum. It makes the prover and verifier 2x-3x faster. It gives Jolt the shortest proofs of any post-quantum zkVM: under 100 KB today, with a path to further reductions. Proofs get posted on-chain and sent over…
