Loughborough University physicists have built a neuromorphic chip that processes AI tasks directly in hardware using brain-like connections — achieving 2,000x lower energy use. Here's what it means for DePIN, on-chain AI agents, and decentralised compute.
Google Quantum AI researchers showed in March 2026 that breaking Bitcoin and Ethereum's ECC encryption requires roughly 20 times fewer computing resources than earlier estimates, potentially exposing 6.9 million BTC in wallets with visible public keys.
