KYVE's Beta program has officially started.
The first phase involves testing State-Sync integration on the KSYNC tool, with 30 participants already selected.
The focus of this phase is to test how node operators can bootstrap their nodes to any supported height in minutes. Participants need to successfully run protocol nodes and test State-Sync functionality.

Arweave has announced an update to version 2.7.
Version 2.7 includes merkle tree rebase, improved node memory usage, and some minor improvements to the core protocol.
In particular, the merkle tree rebase can create more efficient bundling formats, enhancing censorship resistance, as bundling services can now run on machines with very low hardware requirements.

Irys (formerly Bundlr) has launched a set of upgraded tools.
The updated toolkit supports the Irys SDK and query package, featuring UI components for managing node balances, uploading files, and performing gassless uploads.
They have also introduced the Whistleblower client, which monitors transactions uploaded to Irys and verifiably confirms transactions' finality and seeding on Arweave in a trustworthy manner.
Additionally, the Irys Explorer tool has been released for transaction inspection and analysis.
Finally, they have proposed Irys Improvement Proposals (IIPs) to encourage community participation in the platform's development.

decent.land introduces VACP - Verifiable Atomic Computing Paradigm.
VACP is an architectural model that combines lazy evaluation, verifiable computing, and data availability, aiming to address the scalability challenges of Web3.
VACP's implementation requires a set of rules and an initial state to be uploaded to the DA layer, along with a trusted third party to manage state and interactions.
VACP employs off-chain computation but can be honestly checked by end-users or any relevant party to ensure transparency and trust.
