Resumo

Sei Labs, the developer behind the Sei blockchain, has partnered with Xiaomi to pre-install a crypto wallet and discovery app on all Xiaomi smartphones sold outside mainland China and the U.S. The app will allow users to sign in with Google or Xiaomi accounts and includes a secure MPC wallet, access to crypto applications, and support for P2P and merchant payments. The rollout will begin in Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. A $5 million fund will support mobile blockchain projects. The companies also plan to enable stablecoin payments for Xiaomi products, including phones and EVs, starting in Hong Kong and the EU by mid-2026. This move follows similar efforts by Solana Mobile, which has launched two Web3 smartphones, and Samsung’s integration of crypto features via Coinbase.

Sei Labs, the core development group behind the Sei blockchain, has reached a distribution deal with Xiaomi to pre-install a new crypto wallet and discovery app on all Xiaomi smartphones sold outside mainland China and the United States.

According to Thursday’s announcement, the app will let users sign in with their existing Google or Xiaomi IDs and will feature a multiparty computation wallet for security, access to popular crypto applications, and support for both peer-to-peer and merchant payments.

The rollout will start in Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia and Africa. Sei Labs is also creating a $5 million program aimed at funding mobile projects that bring blockchain features to consumer devices.

The companies plan to add stablecoin payments across Xiaomi’s retail and online channels, allowing customers to purchase devices, including phones and electric vehicles, using assets like USDC (USDC), which is supported by Sei. Early launches are targeted for Hong Kong and the EU by mid-2026, with broader expansion to follow.

Solana’s push into smartphones

Sei Labs isn’t the first Web3 project to target smartphones as a gateway for mainstream crypto adoption.

The Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of Solana Labs, announced its first smartphone, the Saga, in June 2022 before beginning shipments the following year. In late 2023, sales surged when a BONK airdrop tied to each device briefly made the phone worth more in tokens than its retail price.

In August 2024, Solana began shipping its second-generation Seeker phone to users in over 50 countries after receiving more than 150,000 preorders. The device includes broad hardware upgrades, a built-in crypto wallet, a decentralized app store and an updated seed-vault system.

On Dec. 3, Solana Mobile announced its plans to launch a native token, SKR, tied to its Seeker phone and broader mobile ecosystem in early 2026. The 10 billion-token supply will include large allocations for airdrops, growth incentives, liquidity and a community treasury, with portions also set aside for Solana Mobile and Solana Labs.

Samsung has also been expanding crypto features on its phones through a recent partnership with Coinbase. In October, the companies began allowing roughly 75 million US Galaxy users to buy crypto directly in Samsung Wallet, with plans to extend the integration to other markets.

Mathematicians Refute Open AI's Claim of Proving Connes Rigidity Conjecture Within 24 Hours: 'AI Proved Every Sentence Correct, but They Are No Longer About the Original Conjecture'

Mathematician Refutes OpenAI's Claim of Disproving Connes Rigidity Conjecture in 24 Hours OpenAI claimed its next-generation AI model solved 10 world-class problems, including disproving the Connes Rigidity Conjecture. The next day, mathematician J. L. Nielsen from the University of Kansas published a paper refuting the AI's counterexample. Nielsen meticulously reviewed OpenAI's publicly released 37,000 lines of Lean 4 code, mapping each object back to its mathematical origin. He identified two independent failure paths in the AI's argument. He concluded that one of the two groups constructed by the AI does not satisfy the required conditions (specifically ICC and Kazhdan's property (T)) necessary to serve as a valid counterexample to the original conjecture. This means the AI may have successfully proven something about its constructed objects, but that statement is not equivalent to disproving the Connes Rigidity Conjecture itself. The incident highlights a crucial limitation of formal verification tools like Lean. While Lean's kernel can verify the logical correctness of a proof's steps, it cannot verify whether the formal statement being proven correctly corresponds to the intended mathematical conjecture. Human oversight remains essential to ensure the alignment between the formalized problem and the original research question. This case exemplifies what researchers call "successfully proving the wrong statement." The Connes Rigidity Conjecture, concerning the uniqueness of group von Neumann algebras under certain conditions, remains an open problem.

No Network, There is Cash: Volume of Paper Money in Russia Sets New Record

The volume of cash in circulation in Russia saw a record monthly increase of 643.4 billion rubles in July 2026, a 43.1% acceleration compared to June. This marked the highest monthly growth since the start of the year, following a contraction in January. From February to July, the cumulative increase totaled 2.547 trillion rubles. The Bank of Russia attributes the heightened demand for cash to two main factors: public and business adaptation to tax changes, and mobile internet outages, which prompted citizens and companies to stockpile cash for payments independent of digital infrastructure. This trend began in spring and has accelerated. As of July 1, 2026, the total cash in circulation reached 21,283.6 billion rubles. However, cash's share of the broad money supply remains near historical lows at about 14.7%, meaning most money is still non-cash. The growth is directly linked to internet restrictions. Similar spikes occurred in April and May 2026, with May seeing a 31-year record. The period from February to July 2026 now shows an exceptional aggregate increase exceeding 2.5 trillion rubles. Analysts note a parallel to February 2022, when sanctions shock led to a record one-day cash withdrawal of 1.4 trillion rubles, driven by similar concerns over digital system reliability.

When Crypto Assets Become Mortgage Collateral: The Triangular Dilemma of Regulation, Cost, and Tokenized Equity

When Crypto Assets Become Mortgage Collateral: The Trilemma of Regulation, Cost, and Tokenized Rights Better, in partnership with Coinbase, has launched a mortgage solution allowing borrowers to pledge Bitcoin or USDC as collateral. This facilitates two loans: a primary, Fannie Mae-compliant mortgage and a separate private loan for the down payment, secured by the crypto assets and a second lien on the property. The product targets asset-rich but cash-poor buyers, with high collateral requirements (250% for Bitcoin, 125% for USDC) and no margin calls. The initiative has drawn significant regulatory scrutiny. Seven U.S. Senators, led by Dick Durbin and Elizabeth Warren, sent a letter to the FHFA urging a halt, arguing the high collateral ratio itself acknowledges crypto's risk and that combined loan costs could be 1.5 percentage points higher, potentially burdening taxpayers. Despite criticism and Bitcoin's price volatility, Better's CEO Vishal Garg plans to expand support to tokenized equities (e.g., Tesla, SpaceX) and envisions using retirement accounts to help family members buy homes. A core challenge for tokenized assets is clarifying the legal rights conferred by holding such tokens. To reduce costs, Better partnered with Framework Ventures, aiming to lower capital expenses by over 100 basis points and offer sub-5% rates. While the company posted a loss in Q1 2025, it reports strong demand, with a waitlist representing ~$250M in potential loans. Garg remains committed to the model, viewing it as a key channel for integrating digital assets into the banking system.

OpenAI Publishes 62-Page Core Manuscript: AI Cracks Ten 'Fields Medal-Level' Problems in a Row

OpenAI releases a 62-page core manuscript detailing how its AI model independently solved ten major, longstanding mathematical problems considered "Fields Medal-level." The breakthroughs, achieved at an estimated computational cost of only $2,000, include advancing a 46-year-old upper bound for high-dimensional sphere packing and explicitly constructing a non-sofic group—a 27-year-old open question. The manuscript, titled "How the Ideas Came Together," was authored autonomously by the AI (reportedly the next-generation model Astra). It reconstructs the reasoning process for each problem: identifying initial promising paths, obstacles encountered, pivotal shifts in perspective, and the final decisive insights. For sphere packing, the AI moved beyond traditional linear programming limits by employing Mellin transforms and harmonic measure to refine the density exponent. For the non-sofic group, the key was resolving a "crucial mismatch" between having many expansion graphs and needing one, via a controlled median-based function. OpenAI researcher Mo Bavarian reflects on the rapid progress from AI struggling with grade-school math to solving profound mathematical conjectures, calling this moment "more surreal than any before" and akin to the eve of a technological singularity.

Just Now, Claude Fable 5 Took First Place Again

Claude Fable 5 has achieved a staggering 64% success rate on the MirrorCode leaderboard, significantly outperforming competitors like GPT-5.6 Sol (approx. 21%). The benchmark tests models' ability to fully reverse-engineer and reimplement 15 medium-to-large software projects (e.g., Unix tools, compilers) in an isolated environment, requiring a perfect 100% pass rate on all tests. Notably, Fable 5's performance remained remarkably consistent at 61% when using the niche language Ada, compared to 64% with Go. Given that Python training data is roughly 230x more abundant than Ada, this minimal 3-point drop suggests the model has moved beyond simple code memorization and can reason about and construct complete software projects from fundamental principles. The MirrorCode benchmark is extremely rigorous, allowing up to 100 billion tokens and 7 days of continuous runtime per task to achieve 100% correctness, with one run costing $2600 over 19 days. The results indicate that state-of-the-art AI is transitioning from a tool for writing code snippets to an agent capable of autonomously completing entire, sizable software projects when given clear specifications and automated verification. This shift will make code increasingly inexpensive while elevating the value of those who can precisely define problems and validate outcomes.
