Just tried a CyberCab ride here in Austin Texas 🤩 Super smooth experience. The style is just unmatched especially vs Waymo which I tried last year.
Hope it’s not gonna take years until this is possible in Germany. Come on EU 🤞 https://t.co/ZJsmmELnxw

2 billion tokens in the last 7 days.
Not through one model. Through 45, from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Moonshot, Zhipu and more, routed one question at a time to whichever model is best for it.
That's what a many-model world looks like in practice. No subscriptions, no markup, one key, pay per token in card or USDC via X402.

During the same month, a product manager asked Google's Gemini CLI to reorganize a folder.
A command silently failed, the agent assumed it worked, and overwrote every file but one.

Moments That Defined Sui's August 2026
Post-quantum keys, regulated securities rails, and deep dives into Sui’s security work. Here are the moments that mattered in August: Making Sui quantum ready (Aug 6) Sui is adding two NIST-standardized post-quantum signature schemes: ML-DSA-65 as a native scheme for everyday accounts, and hash-based SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s inside Move contracts for high-value vaults. Existing accounts move to a quantum-safe key derived from the recovery phrase they already hold. Why it matters: Most migration plans ask every user to move their money to a new address, which is the moment things get lost. Not on Sui. Read more: https://www.sui.io/blog/making-sui-quantum-ready
Hadron by Tether goes live on Sui (Aug 13) @hadron_tether launched on Sui, giving institutions the rails to issue tokenized equities, bonds, and commodities, with sub-400ms finality and an object model built for real asset logic. Why it matters: Issuance is the step before every other step. Before an asset can be traded, lent against, or settled, somebody has to be able to bring it onchain inside a compliance framework. That capability now sits on Sui.
Hashi testnet keeps stacking numbers (Aug 10 and 22) Three weeks after launch, Hashi testnet had processed 1.1M deposits and 165K withdrawals, and more than 50% of all Bitcoin Signet transactions over the prior two weeks resulted from Hashi test activity. By August 28, deposits passed 2.2M. Mainnet imminent. Why it matters: Roughly $1T of Bitcoin sits idle in cold storage. Hashi keeps native $BTC on the Bitcoin network and lets formally verified Sui contracts orchestrate it as programmable collateral. With Testnet volume at this level, imagine what Hashi mainnet numbers will be like.
Security on Sui (Aug 17 to 21) @suidevelopers started the discussion: Whatever you build inherits the security properties of the stack you build on. The language decides what mistakes are possible. The protocol decides what it enforces for you. The reviews decide what you get to see.
What you inherit on Sui: Move's bytecode has no indirect-call instruction, so the hook most reentrancy exploits rely on does not exist. Every call target is statically bound and verifier-checked before it runs. Ownership is enforced at the protocol level through object metadata, so unauthorized modification is structurally impossible instead of a check a developer has to remember to write. August 18: From the cryptographer's desk. Mysten Labs Chief Cryptographer @kostascrypto published the reasoning behind both post-quantum schemes: the external cryptographers, wallet providers, HSM vendors and financial authorities who pushed back, the benchmarks, and the one migration path Sui is deliberately not shipping yet.
August 19: Can an LLM find a vulnerability a human auditor missed? @reginaldojsf hosted an X Space with @b1ackd0g, @hrkrshnn and @bbarwik on where AI actually helps in an audit: what it reliably catches, what it walks straight past, and how to fold it into a review pipeline without drowning your researchers in false positives. Why it matters: Humans took two years to review one code scheme and call it safe. An AI model halved its key strength in 60 hours. Quantum risk is not waiting for human timelines, and AI will find the cracks first.
Securitize and Neuberger bring high-yield credit onchain (Aug 18) Sui's first integration with @Securitize went live. The High Income Tokenized Fund (HINC) brings high-yield bonds, CLOs and leveraged loans onchain, subadvised by @neubergerberman, with daily subscriptions and BNY Mellon custody. @EmberProtocol launched $HIGH on Sui the following day as tokenized access to the same strategy. Why it matters: Most tokenized funds stop at treasuries and money markets. This is credit risk, actively managed, in a wrapper qualified investors can hold. Read more: https://www.sui.io/blog/securitize-neuberger-launch-tokenized-fund-across-sui Aftermath Perpetuals V2 ships (August 20) 15 markets on day one, entirely onchain: $BTC, $ETH, $SUI, $NVDA, $TSLA, $GOOGL, gold, silver, WTI crude, the S&P 500 and more. Twelve weeks of rebuild, two public audit reports by @osec_io and @Certora. Three days after launch, afLP crossed $2M TVL. Why it matters: Equities and commodities trading against the same engine as crypto, with both audits in the open before anyone deposited.
tZERO brings regulated securities infrastructure to Sui (Aug 25) Tokenizing an asset is step one. It still has to be issued, held, transferred, traded and settled inside a regulatory framework. @tZERO is bringing 7+ years of regulated digital securities infrastructure to Sui, built for exactly that. Why it matters: Institutional adoption needs infrastructure that reaches both ways, into the blockchain and into existing regulation. Read more: https://www.sui.io/blog/tzero-sui-institutional-digital-securities-infra Sui Overflow 2026 winners announced (Aug 27) 747 projects from 58 countries over six weeks, and 26 teams came out on top: 16 track winners across the Agentic Web, DeFi & Payments, @WalrusProtocol and @DeepBookonSui, plus 10 University Award recipients. @Sup_Wallet took the Agentic Web track with a self-custodial wallet an AI agent can trade and settle from inside limits you set once. Quay won DeFi & Payments with a merchant terminal that takes any token through the QR code a shop already has and pays out in $USDsui. Why it matters: The pattern across all four tracks was the same. Teams stopped building things for people to click and started building things for software to call. Read more: https://www.sui.io/blog/sui-overflow-2026-winners Sui Basecamp 2026 opens its lineup and puts the TPS record on the line (Aug 27 onwards) Speakers announced for Sui Basecamp 2026 in Singapore on October 7-8 with @token2049: @RaoulGMI, @EmanAbio, @HilmarVeigar, @jenzhuscott, @RichardSocher, @BrianQuintenz, @kostascrypto, @amoufarek, @CryptoMichNL, and more. On July 4, Sui hit 6,086,766 TPS on a livestream. On October 7, @kostascrypto will run it again on the main stage, verified live by @CertiK. Why it matters: This year's conversation is all about AI and the infrastructure the agentic economy actually needs. We’re inviting some of the most prominent voices to the Sui Basecamp stage to share their latest thoughts. Plus, Kostas and team will set a new record, live and verified. Join us at sui.io/basecamp. Read more: https://www.sui.io/blog/the-agentic-economy-takes-sui-basecamp-2026-singapore
Also this month: @ikadotxyz shipped Squid Mode, which gives an AI agent a wallet without giving it your keys, with policy enforced outside the agent and every signature split across independent validators. @0xbeepit released the Customizable Agent. Write your strategy into a prompt or a skills.md file and deploy an agent that reads the market your way. @navi_protocol introduced NAVI Prime, with independently curated lending markets, each carrying its own risk framework. @SlushWallet opened USDC pre-deposits that auto-migrated to @AftermathFi afLP on day one. Buyback Update: The Foundation has bought back 533.4K SUI year to date against $433.9M of stablecoin float, funded by yield rather than per-transaction fees. Nine moments, one direction. July showed how fast Sui goes. August showed what happens when you open the hood and let people look. Sui Basecamp 2026 in Singapore is where both get tested on stage.
