AI models lead a contest to lower estimated quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction costs
An open competition run by StarkWare, Yukon Research, and Eigen Labs reduced the estimated cost of building a quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction from about $320 to roughly $67. According to Decrypt, AI models topped the leaderboards. The reported improvement concerns estimates from the competition; actual transaction costs have not been established here.

Today's Pick
This revised second edition of The Complete Guide to ChatGPT & Copilot uses illustrations to explain basic operations, workplace uses, and points of caution. It is an introductory pick for readers who want to review generative AI basics after today’s AI news.
On-Chain Data
Ethereum chain TVL: $53.53B [Source: DefiLlama] (as of Sep 27, 2026 06:30 JST) TVL describes the value of assets deposited on a chain. It should be distinguished from game user counts or revenue.
Take
My reading is that these stories show three separate areas of progress, rather than a finished convergence of AI and Web3 games. EVE Frontier is preparing changes to how players move through and interact with its world. In a Bitcoin research competition, AI models helped lower an estimated cost for quantum-safe transactions. Google is making AI video generation more accessible. The next questions are how the game feels to play, whether the transaction approach proves practical, and what people make with the video tools.
