US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is convening leading contractors and representatives from Palantir and Anduril to enhance system interoperability and deepen AI integration. This is reported by Bloomberg. The initiative is called the Right to Integrate Hackathon. Driscoll conceived it after a trip to Germany, where he recognized a longstanding issue: army technologies often operate in isolation. System integration requires specialized engineering work, which slows operations and hinders the deployment of new tools. Driscoll met with representatives of the Ukrainian armed forces, who use an open architecture mechanism. This was a "moment of enlightenment," writes Bloomberg. “Nothing of this size and scale has ever been properly implemented in partnership with all these companies in any industry or context. Nowhere in the world,” the secretary stated. Open Systems Initially, the program will cover air defense systems, drones, and missiles. In the first phase, the army will have access to more than 50 types of weaponry; combat vehicles are likely to be involved as well. Participants in the Right to Integrate Hackathon include Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, RTX, Boeing, General Dynamics, L3Harris Technologies, Perennial Autonomy, Palantir, and Anduril. The latter's platform, Lattice, will serve as a "validator" of the project's viability. The initiative also aims to demonstrate a new approach to operations at the Pentagon during Donald Trump's presidency: the world's largest armed forces must adopt a startup mentality and accelerate changes that previously took years or decades. Driscoll has tasked the army's chief technology officer, Alex Miller, with inviting companies to Fort Carson, Colorado, and opening their systems for interoperability. The program is also intended to simplify the integration of AI into battlefield decision-making—while maintaining human oversight. In May, the Pentagon signed agreements with Nvidia, Microsoft, Reflection, and Amazon Web Services to apply advanced AI tools in classified military environments.

Cryptocurrency firm Blockchain.com has introduced SnapMarkets, a platform for predicting changes in the price of the leading cryptocurrency at 30-second intervals. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Introducing SnapMarkets. Where every second counts, every minute is money, and finding the truth faster means us all finding it more often.https://t.co/0cHrUtrKNE incubated by @blockchain, launched on @arbitrum pic.twitter.com/hpED56EDXy— SnapMarkets (@TheSnapMarkets) May 6, 2026 The minimum bet is $1 on the rise or fall of the asset. Developers describe the product as a "skill-based prediction market." In addition to trading functionality, the platform includes a chat, real-time price feed, and leaderboard. Unlike Polymarket or Kalshi, SnapMarkets focuses solely on bitcoin price predictions rather than elections or sports outcomes. Blockchain.com plans to expand the range of available markets over time. The launch coincides with a period of significant growth in the sector. According to Dune, in April, the total trading volume on prediction markets exceeded $29 billion. Source: Dune. Blockchain.com insists that SnapMarkets is not binary options. The company describes the service as a "simple and transparent way" to engage with price movements, rather than a traditional derivative instrument. Regulators in the US and Europe approach such products with caution. In 2018-2019, EU and UK authorities banned offering binary options to retail clients. In the US, such platforms are regulated by the CFTC. Due to regulatory restrictions, SnapMarkets is unavailable to residents of the US and UK. The service supports integration with Blockchain.com wallets and third-party DeFi applications. New users are automatically provided with a non-custodial wallet. Earlier, on May 2, developers of Hyperliquid activated the HIP-4 protocol on the HyperEVM mainnet. The main innovation was the introduction of prediction markets.
