domschiener Hey everyone, here is our official response to the MIT DCI email leak that had happened a few days ago. We invite MIT DCI to actively engage with us on this matter, and come to a conclusion ASAP so that we can all move forward from this event and focus on core protocol and the growing the IOTA ecosystem. https://blog.iota.org/official-statement-regarding-the-mit-dci-email-leaks-ea3cacd6699a

sashachupickif @everyone Starfish is live on IOTA Mainnet! Today we're making it Discord-official. Our new consensus mechanism, Starfish, has been live on mainnet since April 23rd, and after a week of smooth sailing we're ready to talk about it. The short version: the network now keeps moving even when some validators fall behind. No system-wide slowdowns, no waiting. Recovery happens in the background while everything else keeps going. It's a meaningful upgrade for anyone building on IOTA, and a big step for the kind of infrastructure global trade actually needs. We've been working on this for a while - excited to finally have it out in the wild. 📢 Main announcement on X → https://x.com/iota/status/2049111390309195907 📝 Full background on the blog → https://blog.iota.org/starfish-mainnet-release/ 🔬 Sebastian Mueller's technical breakdown thread on X → https://x.com/NaitsabesMue/status/2049119451144974402
