A federal court in Oakland has dismissed Elon Musk's lawsuit against Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, OpenAI, and Microsoft due to late filing, according to NBC News. The jury of nine found that the claims were barred by the statute of limitations. Deliberations took less than two hours. In the case, Musk claimed that OpenAI had abandoned its original non-profit mission and effectively transformed into a profit-driven entity. The defendants allegedly "stole a charitable organization" by creating a commercial division and allowing the leadership to personally profit. The timing of the lawsuit filing was crucial. OpenAI's defense argued that the alleged damages occurred before 2021. Different deadlines applied to various aspects: before August 5, 2021; before November 14, 2021; before August 5, 2022. The jury found the defendants' arguments convincing. The verdict was delivered during a separate hearing on potential compensation Musk might have received if he had won. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers also criticized the plaintiff's damage estimates. Musk's expert assessed the alleged wrongful gains of OpenAI and Microsoft at $78.8 billion to $135 billion. Rogers stated that the calculations were not linked to the facts established in the case. OpenAI's lawyers portrayed the case as an attempt to pressure a competitor. The company's lead attorney, Bill Savitt, called the lawsuit a "belated fabrication" and an attempt at sabotage. Following the decision, Microsoft welcomed the outcome and stated it would continue its partnership with Altman's company to advance AI systems. Musk responded differently: "For anyone who has closely followed the case, there is no doubt that Altman and Brockman indeed enriched themselves by stealing a charitable organization. The only question is when they did it." The entrepreneur announced his intention to appeal. The decision removes one of the main legal obstacles for OpenAI amid discussions of a potential IPO. Back in October 2025, the AI startup completed a restructuring, during which the company was split into a commercial corporation and a non-profit foundation.

By the end of the first quarter, the volume of real-world tokenized assets (RWA) on the Solana network increased by 43%, reaching $2.01 billion, according to a report by Messari. Three assets had the most significant impact on the segment: BlackRock BUIDL: capitalization doubled to $525.4 million following the integration of custodian Anchorage Digital; PRIME: increased by 124% to $361.2 million, supported by the Kamino protocol; ONyc: rose by 101%, reaching $145.4 million. Source: Messari. Analysts noted the diversification of the credit market. Deposits in PRIME on the Kamino and Jupiter Lend platforms accounted for 13% of the total volume. DeFi Segment and Application Revenue The total value locked in Solana fell by 22% to $6.16 billion. Messari attributed this to a 33% drop in the price of SOL (from $124.44 to $83.11), rather than a user exodus. Source: Messari. The blockchain's share of the overall DeFi market remained stable at 6.7%. The largest protocols were Kamino ($1.72 billion) and Jupiter ($1.69 billion). Application revenue for the quarter totaled $342.2 million. Pump.fun remained the leader with $124.7 million (+17%). The trading app Axiom ranked second with $42.4 million. Source: Messari. The report highlights the development of infrastructure for payments and AI agents. The x402 protocol was adopted by major providers, including Alchemy and QuickNode. User Behavior and Stablecoins Researchers observed an acceleration in trading: the average token holding time decreased from 81 to 57 seconds. Analysts linked this to the popularity of short-term trades in the meme coin segment. The volume of stablecoins on Solana reached $14.85 billion (third among blockchains): USDC: $7.83 billion (-21%); USDT: $2.89 billion (+34%); USD1: $883.5 million (+473% following inflows from Binance). Source: Messari. The main event of the quarter was the plan to implement the Alpenglow update in the Agave 4.1 release. It proposes replacing the Proof-of-History and Tower BFT mechanisms with Rotor and Votor. This is expected to reduce transaction finalization time from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds. The total number of coins locked in staking reached a historic high of 424.7 million SOL. Source: Messari. By the end of the quarter, corporate balances held 18.6 million SOL ($1.54 billion). In May, trading volume on decentralized exchanges on the Solana network fell to 94% relative to Ethereum's figures.

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) continues to see the departure of key personnel. On May 18th, researchers Carl Beek and Julian Ma announced their exit from the organization. Both decisions were voluntary. The developers penned farewell messages on X. Beek will leave the organization at the end of the month. He has worked at EF for seven years, contributing to the creation of the Ethereum Beacon Chain and improving network throughput and execution. “The strength of Ethereum lies and will always lie in the people behind it, striving to make it what it is. I am grateful for these years spent among you. What’s next: I’m not sure yet,” he wrote. Ma spent four years in the organization’s research and product department. He was involved in designing network economics and scaling. The developer co-authored a proposal to enhance privacy FOCIL and led the launch of the fast confirmation mechanism, which accelerates transfers between L1 and L2. “Why did I leave? For the first three years at EF, I was engaged in market design research. In the last year, I focused on product work and growth. I really enjoy this area and want to move further in this direction,” Ma explained his decision. The Disintegration of Ethereum Foundation Beek and Ma’s departures continue a series of resignations at EF. In recent months, several prominent ecosystem members have left the foundation. In early May, leading developers Barnabé Monnot and Tim Beiko left the Protocol team, while Alex Stokes took a creative break. Temporary managers have been appointed in their places. In April, team manager Josh Stark announced his departure. In February, Tomasz Stanczak resigned from his position as co-executive director, having served for less than a year.
