  The Rise of the Forward Deployed Engineer

  Forward deployed engineer postings are up 729% year over year. The interesting word in the title is not deployed. It is forward: the work arrives before the customer asks for it.

  Verafy Harness Is an AI Validator Anyone Can Run

  Verafy Harness wraps one AI model in everything a validator does, for Verafy Chain, a concept chain where contracts are written in words and there is no token. Five labs' models have already sealed a block together.

  Actually Smart Contracts: rules in English, enforced by an AI jury

  Write a rule the way you'd say it. A jury of AI models from different labs enforces it on Solana, and the contract acts only when enough of them agree.

  Five Models Forecast the 2026 Midterms

  Verafy Forecast puts every 2026 Senate race and House district to a panel of five AI models, and shows where they disagree instead of averaging it away.
