Pi Squared Launches VSL Devnet, Ushering In a New Era of Fast Verifiability
Pi Squared unlocks fast verifiable AI execution, mirrored blockchains & cross-chain composability via the Verifiable Settlement Layer (VSL) Pi Squared, the most advanced verifiable payment system and settlement layer for AI and crypto, has announced the launch of the VSL Devnet - a major milestone in building a verifiability-first foundation for decentralized computing. The VSL Devnet is the first live environment for developers to interact with Pi Squared's Verifiable Settlement Layer (VSL), a decentralized network designed to enable transparent, programmable, and provable execution across domains. It offers a new programming and composability standard for blockchain, AI, and multichain applications, empowering developers to build with verifiability from the start. Enabling instant and custom-assets payments, parallel and verifiable settlement with full dev tooling support, the VSL Core Infrastructure powers a wide range of applications. These include, but are not limited to: Multichain Interoperability: Secure, cross-chain asset movement integrated with Wormhole's Native Token Transfers (NTT) framework, showcasing a secure interoperability platform powering multichain apps and bridges. Blockchain Mirroring: Live mirroring of Ethereum and Bitcoin state for composable multichain development. AI + Trusted Execution Environments: Confidential and verifiable AI agent execution via TEE attestations. Each demo is live and available to explore, offering early adopters an opportunity to build the next generation of apps that cross trust boundaries. Having raised $12.5 million in seed funding last year, Pi Squared is conducting an additional strategic raise, which will accelerate its mission to fix what today's blockchain infrastructure can't: fragmentation and trust. With Pi Squared's fast payments and verifiable cross-chain settlement layer, apps, agents, and protocols can finally interact across ecosystems – fast, provably, and seamlessly. Pi Squared Founder and CEO Grigore Rosu is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and a former NASA engineer, where he developed the K Framework - an open-source 'Rosetta Stone' for programming language semantics, which is now being utilized by Pi Squared to bring the next million developers to Web3. 'With Web3 still siloed across chains and ecosystems, we want to chart a new path forward, in which correctness, performance and trust are embedded from the start. The Pi Squared VSL Devnet marks a major milestone toward that future, providing a first glimpse at a verifiability-first platform that can unify chains, languages and applications through fast, secure, and programmable infrastructure,' said Grigore Roșu, Founder and CEO of Pi Squared. 'Together with Pi Squared, we share a vision for seamless, secure multichain interoperability, enabling scalable, verifiable computation and asset movement across decentralized ecosystems, while empowering developers to build trustless applications that span multiple blockchains and execution environments. VSL serves as a foundation for this future vision to take shape,' said Dan Reecer, Co-founder of Wormhole Foundation. Over the next few months, Pi Squared will be extending the VSL network's capabilities by expanding its decentralized programming capabilities, increasing performance, improving validator coordination, and refining the network workflow. The platform is also actively working on features like signature aggregation and multi-client support to make integration seamless across both AI pipelines and blockchain networks. Pi Squared is now inviting infrastructure builders, AI developers, and protocol designers to get involved to test, build, and shape the next era of verifiable, decentralized computing. Ways to Get Involved: Devnet access is available for those interested in exploring live demos, testing applications, and experiencing VSL in action. Additional information and the request form can be found here Integration opportunities with Pi² are open through this form. The team reviews submitted forms and provides follow-up for potential partners. Ongoing updates, demo highlights, and developer-focused content are regularly shared via Pi Squared on X. About Pi Squared Pi Squared is solving the fragmentation and trust limitations of today's blockchain infrastructure by enabling fast, verifiable, cross-chain computation and settlement, so apps, agents, and protocols can interact across ecosystems without relying on bridges, centralized parties, or unprovable logic. It's the missing trust layer for a modular, interoperable, and enterprise-ready Web3. Contact Founder Lorcan Byrne

After 24 Years, Tom Colicchio Changes the Menu at His Iconic Restaurant
Plus, three new places to eat at Grand Central – and more intel Jun 24, 2025, 2:51 PM UTC Ahead of the Flatiron restaurant's 25th anniversary next year, Craft (43 East 19th Street, at Park Avenue South) is segueing from a family-style menu to a la carte starting today, says chef and owner Tom Colicchio. The Bravo Top Chef judge who oversees his restaurant, along with nearby Vallata, says when he opened over two decades ago, he was still the chef at Gramercy Tavern. And unlike many restaurants at the time, his tastes were veering toward very simple, pared-down, seasonal dishes diners would share at the table. But lately, he has been a bit restless when it comes to the Craft menu. And he has paid attention to two things: One, he wants to be more creative. Two, post-pandemic, 'fewer people are sharing,' he says. He wants to be more responsive to customers in terms of changes in how they want to dine. In addition to a la carte, the menu will include a daily tasting option. First course picks include fluke crudo along with dishes like ricotta agnolotti with peas, favas, and morels. For mains, there's a rabbit mortadella main course, along with items like roasted cod with razor clams and sea beans. He says a through line is that he's still focused on seasonal ingredients. Chef de cuisine Grayson Altenberg is steering the kitchen, while beverage director Cheron Cowan oversees the bar and wine selection. Prices are still a work in progress. A trio of new restaurants is opening in Grand Central (89 East 42nd Street, at Park Avenue). A Penn Station mainstay for 20 years, Tracks Raw Bar & Grill is bringing its oysters and railroad memorabilia to the new Grand Central Madison terminal this summer. Palladino's Steak & Seafood is also closer to opening. The space comes from former NYPD officer-turned-Texas restaurateur Joseph Palladino and chef Sam Hazen, with design by Rockwell Group. And San Wei, a noodle and bubble tea shop with surprising pastrami in Elmhurst, will offer a menu of hand-pulled noodles and boba later this season. Momofuku Noodle Bar in the East Village (171 First Avenue, at East 11th Street) is launching a dinner series called Noodle Nights, kicking off next month. The series of one-night collaborations pairs chef Pablo Vidal with neighborhood spots from Richard Ho of Ho Foods on July 15; Eric Sze of 886 on September 17; and Trigg Brown of Win Son on October 14 (there's no event in August). Each night features a bun, noodle bowl, and a wild card dish created by the guest chef and Vidal. Tickets for the first event are live on OpenTable.

Byreal Signals Dawn of Onchain Capital Markets with Bold Debut at Solana APEX
At one of the most anticipated fireside sessions of Solana APEX, three industry heavyweights—Solana Foundation President Lily Liu, Bybit Co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou, and Byreal Founder Emily Bao—came together to deliver more than just a product launch. They delivered a vision: one where real assets finally flow seamlessly across centralized and decentralized financial systems. The crowd packed into the room, and the mood was electric. The conversation wasn't just about Byreal—it was about what the future of DeFi should look like. 'Onchain capital markets for traditional assets are closer than we think,' said Lily Liu, opening with a sweeping vision of Solana's next chapter. She laid out Solana's ambition to become the premier ecosystem for capital—supporting everything from memecoins to money market funds, and with an eye firmly on real-world assets (RWAs). Liu emphasized the trillion-dollar opportunity: a future where tokenized equities like those planned in the upcoming xStocks project could give global investors exposure to public markets (outside the U.S.), all built natively onchain. Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit, reinforced this convergence, sharing how Bybit is aggressively bridging TradFi and Web3. 'It is no longer CEX versus DEX. Now it's CEX plus DEX,' Zhou declared. He pointed to Bybit's new MiCAR license in Europe, enabling direct crypto access via bank accounts, and the expansion of TradFi instruments like indices, forex, and stock CFDs on Bybit's platform. But most crucially, he spotlighted Byreal—a project incubated by Bybit to meet the growing need for deep, programmable, onchain liquidity. At the heart of the fireside was Byreal's founder, Emily Bao, who took the mic with equal parts clarity and conviction. 'A great exchange doesn't just facilitate transactions—it reveals value.' She dissected the current state of DeFi, calling out the distortion created by overhyped projects and mismatched valuations from the last bull run. She positioned Byreal as a permissioned DEX on Solana, curating highly-demanded assets and providing real trading infrastructure for real users. 'We're not here to compete for market share. We're here to bridge fragmented liquidity and help high-potential projects grow. We want traders to discover the next great asset early—and with conviction.' Byreal, she explained, is designed to sit at the intersection of CeFi depth and DeFi access. Its smart routing engine will unify fragmented order books and bring institutional-grade execution to the onchain world. Byreal's public beta drops June 30. Launching first on Solana. Byreal is the ultimate liquidity layer built for real assets, delivering unmatched liquidity for users. It integrates DEX, Launch, and Vault into a unified smart routing architecture, forming a full-cycle growth engine that supports asset discovery, trading, and yield generation across multiple ecosystems. Launching first on Solana. Contact Founder Emily Bao Byreal
