The Cosmos ecosystem has activated 100M compute unit (CU) blocks on mainnet, following the SIMD-0286 technical proposal. The upgrade raises the per-block compute ceiling from 60M to 100M, representing a 66% increase. It is expected to improve on-chain transaction throughput, execution efficiency for complex smart contracts, and overall scalability. The change is also described as strengthening the network utility case and developer adoption interest for M, a core infrastructure token in the Cosmos ecosystem.

The post contrasts traditional card payments with the XRP Ledger’s settlement model. It says card networks can authorize a swipe in about 2 seconds, but the funds typically settle in 1 to 3 days. By contrast, it claims the XRP Ledger combines approval and final settlement into a single step that completes irreversibly in 3 to 5 seconds.

Western Digital (WDC) fell exactly 6.90% to $519.80 on July 24, 2026 as investors reset risk across the volatile data-center storage trade without a same-session company warning. Read the daily analysis of Western Digital's storage-demand outlook, momentum risk and key technical levels.

XRP Ledger developers are rushing to address multiple critical issues in xrpld v3.2.0, including performance regressions and node synchronization failures. Some operators say nodes running the release are falling behind mainnet consensus, while downgrading to v3.1.3 appears to restore normal performance. Other reports indicate certain Windows 10 nodes remain stuck in a “connected” state and fail to sync. Fixes are slated to be deployed via the fixCleanup3_2_0 protocol amendment on July 29, according to Coingape.

Solana has released a network-upgrade roadmap covering the Alpenglow upgrade, the p-token mechanism, support for larger transaction sizes, and an optimization toward 200ms slot times. The changes are intended to boost throughput, cut latency and strengthen network resilience. All items listed are confirmed directions for mainnet evolution rather than conceptual ideas or testnet proposals, and are positioned as core protocol-layer iterations. The upgrades are designed to directly improve on-chain execution efficiency and underlying economic-model capabilities, reinforcing the infrastructure value of the SOL token and the ecosystem’s appeal.

Dell Technologies (DELL) rose 9.32% to $441.80 on July 22, 2026 as Super Micro Computer's sharply higher margin outlook strengthened confidence in AI server demand and pricing. Read the daily analysis of Dell's AI infrastructure outlook, momentum risk and key technical levels.
