đź’ˇSomeone stole a Humanity key, used itto grab 298 million H tokens (some newly made, some from the project's own wallet), and sold them for about $27 million in eight hours. Most of the money is still sitting in their wallets. A step-by-step look at the
Cross-chain interoperability has become one of the most important layers of crypto infrastructure. Every day, billions of dollars move between chains through bridges, messaging protocols, token standards, and interoperability networks. Yet despite its growing importance, understanding how value moves across ecosystems remains surprisingly difficult. Today, in collaboration with LayerZero,
Key takeaways: * Blockchain data analytics used to require highly-specialized knowledge to navigate * MCP now changes complex data retrieval into natural conversation * SQL isn’t replaced by MCP, but MCP gives AI agents the ability to use SQL, APIs and other tools * MCP lowers the barrier to entry for all
đź’ˇWhat Is Allium MCP? Allium MCP is a standardized interface that allows AI agents to interact with blockchain data. In practice, this means that builders can create applications that analyze wallets, monitor DeFi positions, track stablecoin flows, and anything else they require with blockchain data. Most teams don't
Key takeaways: * Financial institutions can’t use natural language prompts alone to get reliable outputs * Prompts are not reproducible or auditable on their own * MCP acts as the “USB-C” for AI * Institutions need to use MCP with a structured data layer to get trusted outputs 💡What is MCP (Model
The CLARITY Act is closer than ever to passing into law. Just last week, the bill made it out of the Senate Banking Committee, a year after it was first introduced last May. Even with bipartisan discord, (and plenty of reservations still regarding the bill’s regulation of stablecoin yield
How you pick a supply denominator moves a crypto valuation more than most other assumptions. Using HYPE as the worked example. For HYPE, the same business value we estimate at $25.8B, divided across six candidate supply numbers, produces price targets from $26 (FDV) to $105 (circulating only) per token.
Dune is retiring the SIM API on August 1, 2026. If your app uses SIM for wallet balances, transaction history, or DeFi positions, you need a replacement before that date. Allium's Real-time API covers the same endpoints. 23 chains. Full data lineage on every response. Here'
Key takeaways: * A stablecoin supply number without methodology context is meaningless. * Allium breaks it down into: total supply, issuer-reported supply, and adjusted supply * Payment providers, DeFi protocols, stablecoin issuers all need different supply numbers for their own unique reasons * Allium provides the flexibility to get the exact number you
Key takeaways: * Compliance systems flag risk, but they rarely explain it * Passing a compliance check doesn’t mean understanding counterparty behavior * Intelligence systems turn activity into explainable patterns and decisions * Both layers depend entirely on the quality of the underlying data 💡What’s the difference between crypto compliance and crypto
Key takeaways: * Blockchain data needs a system with multiple layers to be compliant * Most companies are missing that data foundation unifying interpretation * Data without standardized interpretation can cause huge differences in a compliance stack * AI systems need normalized, standardized data to function without human interference * Crypto compliance data stacks now
Key takeaways: * APIs are simple and fast, but limited to predefined queries * SQL enables flexible, composable queries that align with how AI systems operate * Blockchain data is difficult to serve via APIs without heavy normalization and standardization across chains and protocols * Most meaningful blockchain metrics (balances, positions, flows) must be
