The true future of decentralized computing lies not in raw speed, but in abundant block space, where Web3 runs the world’s indispensable decentralized supercomputer. Opinion by: Shawn Tabrizi, engineering lead at Parity In pursuit of adoption, many Web3 builders are hyperfocused on a simple, seductive metric: transactions per second (TPS). Protocols have trumpeted numbers rivaling traditional payment rails, convinced that sheer speed is the holy grail to convert billions of users and major enterprises. While this is intuitively appealing, it is insufficient. Adoption, and its prerequisite utility, is ultimately about capacity, not speed. While TPS is undeniably important, the real arms race is not about the fastest race car but about robust, efficient, flexible and infinitely scalable mass transit systems. Financial applications often need speed, but compute-based applications require abundant, usable block space. This is the vision of Web3 as the world’s indispensable decentralized supercomputer.

School teachers across Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa will soon require a licence to continue teaching, as part of the government’s efforts to ensure high educational standards, the province’s Department of Elementary and Secondary Education said on Tuesday. Last year, Sindh became the first province to introduce a teaching licence test under its teaching licence policy — introduced in 2023 — in a bid to ensure a higher calibre of educators in schools. According to a notification issued by the department, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, “only registered and licensed teachers will be authorised to teach at schools”, for which the education department will set up a regulatory body. The regulatory body will be responsible for issuing licences, as well as renewing them based on the teachers’ performance, the notification said. The establishment of the licensing regulatory body aims to “improve the quality of education”, enhance student learning outcomes, by ensuring that only “licensed and professionally qualifie...

Can tokenized stocks from centralized issuers like Robinhood or Kraken ever be truly decentralized? Experts are divided. Crypto is supposed to be about freedom permissionless networks, immutable ownership, assets that no government or intermediary can arbitrarily revoke. At least, that was Satoshis dream a vision that has admittedly faded over time as reality butted in. Amid all the other dying idealism, along came stock tokens, shiny digital wrappers for traditional equities such as Tesla, Apple and Amazon. Suddenly, the crypto space found itself dressed up in Wall Streets regulatory straitjacket. Stock tokens, as currently structured, such as Kraken’s, Robinhood’s and in the future, Coinbase’s are about as decentralized as a Goldman Sachs board meeting. Theyre digital and tokenized, but users must pass KYC to acquire them; they can only move between whitelisted addresses, and issuers can freeze or revoke them at will. In short, they arent really crypto at all. Theyre securities in a digital costume, playing...

Pakistan captain Salman Agha and his Indian counterpart Suryakumar Yadav will not tell their teammates to temper aggression when the arch-rivals clash in a geopolitically-charged men’s Asia Cup contest in Dubai on Sunday. It will be the first cricket match between the sides since four days of military conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbours in May this year. While players from both sides have shared cordial relations over the years despite geopolitical realities, both captains were asked if they would instruct their players to dial down their aggression, considering the larger context. “You don’t need to say anything to any player because every individual is different,” a relaxed-looking Salman said at the captains’ pre-tournament media interaction in Dubai on Tuesday. “If someone wants to be aggressive in the field, they are more than welcome to do that. “When it comes to fast bowlers, they are always aggressive and you can’t stop them because that’s what keeps them going. “So from my side, there is no...
