Curve Launches LlamaLend V2 on Optimism
The DeFi protocol Curve Finance has deployed the second version of its lending platform, LlamaLend, on the L2 network Optimism. The initiative aims to scale infrastructure ahead of its launch on the Ethereum mainnet. Introducing Llamalend v2A new lending framework built around Curve liquidity— Use Curve LP tokens as collateral— Isolated market risk— Improved range-based liquidations powered by LLAMMA— Better market securityLaunching first on Optimism.https://t.co/6N74weKk0j pic.twitter.com/cO159UNE5A— Curve Finance (@CurveFinance) June 10, 2026 The launch was supported by the Optimism Foundation, which provided a grant of 250,000 OP (approximately $50,000). These funds will be used to stimulate liquidity and user activity over the next two months. In LlamaLend V2, developers have removed the mandatory use of the stablecoin crvUSD in lending pairs. Users can now create markets with almost any combination of assets. The protocol has also started accepting LP tokens from Curve and PT tokens from Pendle as collateral. Curve founder Mikhail Egorov noted that the update will simplify the platform's use for major players: "We tried to make the protocol more user-friendly. Users no longer need a PhD to use LlamaLend." An important change is the introduction of a market curator in the form of the LlamaRisk team. In the first version, anyone could create isolated pools, which, according to Egorov, added unnecessary complexity in risk assessment. Now, LlamaRisk will conduct qualitative assessments of collateral assets. At the launch stage on Optimism, a zero borrowing limit has been set—currently, users can only make deposits. The full launch of lending markets and the start of reward distribution are expected on June 16, following a seven-day Curve DAO vote. The deployment of LlamaLend V2 on the Ethereum mainnet is planned for the second half of 2026. Back in April, Egorov introduced a solution to the "bad" debt problem. He proposed turning deficit positions into tradable investment instruments.

Colt and Ciena Conduct Quantum-Resistant Communication Test
Colt Technology Services and Ciena completed a test data transmission using quantum-resistant encryption between New York and London. The traffic traveled over submarine and terrestrial lines spanning a total of 6900 km at a speed of 800 Gbps. Engineers utilized the Ciena WaveLogic 6 Extreme platform. The test confirmed that high-speed communication can be protected against future quantum threats without performance loss. Malicious actors intercept encrypted data with the intention of decrypting it later when powerful quantum computers become available. Experts estimate this could happen as early as 2030. According to surveys, 69% of organizations consider quantum computing a real threat to current encryption methods. The trial demonstrated that quantum-resistant protection is ready for deployment on one of the busiest transatlantic routes. Optical performance remained stable throughout the route. Following a series of successful tests, Colt is prepared to offer clients several protection models: post-quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution, and hybrid schemes. These services are aimed at fintech, healthcare, government agencies, and data center owners. In November 2024, Colt and Ciena had already conducted joint tests, transmitting data at 1.2 Tbps across the Atlantic. In June, OQC, JPMorgan Chase, and AMD announced the launch of a research partnership program in London based at the dedicated Quantum-AI data center.

K33 Analysts Identify $60,000 as Bitcoin Accumulation Zone
The leading cryptocurrency has dropped 28% over the month, falling from $82,000 to below $60,000. According to analysts at K33, more than 10 million BTC—over 50% of the total circulating supply—are now at a loss. A month ago, the share of "red" coins was only 30%. K33's Head of Research, Vetle Lunde, explained that a large percentage of old coins remain unmoved. The reason is either lost wallets or owners' reluctance to sell the asset. Thus, in previous bear cycles, the peak of the loss-making supply was in the 50-56% range. Source: K33. A similar pattern was observed in 2011, 2018, and 2022. Back then, Bitcoin reached its bottom within a month after breaking the 50% mark. However, this was preceded by a final drop of 15-26%. A year after this event, growth ranged from 69% to 359%. The current decline has brought the price back to the 200-week moving average. K33 considers this level a marker for the end of major bear cycles. The Relative Strength Index of Bitcoin has reached its lowest point since November 2018. Outflows from exchange-traded products averaged 4,108 BTC per day from May 7 to June 8. The Fear and Greed Index plummeted to 8. Lunde noted a shift in sentiment and a capital flow into AI stocks, Big Tech, and a potential IPO for SpaceX. Meanwhile, the current downturn is shorter and shallower than in past cycles, fitting the trend of decreasing volatility. Analysts confirmed their baseline forecast: the level around $60,000 serves as a cyclical bottom or a very attractive zone for long-term accumulation. On June 9, analysts from Wintermute pointed out a weak capital inflow into Bitcoin.

Scientists Develop Miniature Sensor for Machine Vision
An international team of scientists has unveiled a miniature photomemristor that mimics the adaptation of human vision to bright and dim light. The innovation could prove beneficial for machine vision systems in robots, drones, and cameras, according to a study in Nature Communications. The device addresses the issue faced by machine vision systems, which lose accuracy during sudden changes in brightness. This is critical for drones and robots, which need to simultaneously distinguish objects in dark areas and bright light sources like oncoming car headlights. The development is part of neuromorphic machine vision—a field where sensors not only capture images but also perform part of the signal processing. This approach is expected to reduce the load on computing systems and speed up reactions to changes in the frame. Event-based cameras tackle a similar challenge. They do not capture each frame entirely but instead record changes in brightness at individual pixels, offering low latency, a high dynamic range, and reduced data volume. However, such systems require specialized algorithms and currently have their limitations. The prototype is based on a miniature light-sensitive element approximately 0.5 mm in size. The key component of the system is a photomemristor made from TiO2 and PEDOT:PSS. Its operation relies on the materials' reaction to humidity: under low light, the structure absorbs more water, increasing conductivity and photosensitivity. In bright light, moisture dissipates, reducing sensitivity. In a demonstration setup, researchers used an array of 4 × 4 photomemristors and an artificial neural network. The system recognized letter patterns against backgrounds with varying brightness levels. According to the article, the accuracy was 91.3% under mixed lighting conditions, and the recognition process took 7.5 seconds. Back in May, scientists introduced Qumus—an autonomous AI system for experiments with quantum materials.
