Cryptocurrency firm Circle has also been in contact with Meta. Matt Cavin, who joined Circle in March and previously worked at blockchain gaming company Immutable, has been in talks for “strategic partnerships” with major tech firms, including Meta. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg openly admitted the failure of the Diem project at the Stripe conference he attended this week. In a conversation with Stripe founder John Collison on stage, Zuckerberg said, “That business is dead,” and added that it is not always advantageous to be early adopters of technological trends, but even if they are late, they are successful in getting back into the race. *This is not investment advice.

The widespread adoption of on-chain financial applications still faces an invisible barrier: the lack of transaction order certainty. Under a single leader architecture, nodes can delay, censor, or even front-run user transactions, thus completely distorting the game among market makers, bidders, an...
