🇨🇦 Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that he would temporarily suspend a federal gas tax until early September. The move is expected to slash the cost of a liter of gasoline by 10 Canadian cents and the price of a liter of diesel by 4 Canadian cents.

The prime minister said that his government was also investing in ways to boost oil and gas production to shield Canadians from these types of shocks in the future.

🤑 Compliance-Ready Privacy on Stellar

Stellar has become a fundamental network for payments, stablecoins, and financial applications. That raises a sharper question: what does the next layer of infrastructure need to look like if real-world payments are going to move on-chain at scale? 🤔

➡️ For Arcane Finance, the answer is clear. Payments need privacy and compliance in the same system, and Stellar is one of the strongest places to build it. 🧱

🔐 How Arcane Brings Compliance-Ready Privacy to Stellar?

Arcane adds a shared privacy and compliance layer with built-in support for disclosure, auditability, and reporting on top of Stellar that enables applications to run private financial flows without building custom infrastructure from scratch.

🛡 Applications can integrate the layer through Arcane’s SDKs and APIs, using a turnkey solution instead of developing bespoke privacy and reporting systems in-house.

At the core is a non-custodial compliance-ready ZK shielded pool where assets move privately between users and applications, combined with a structured audit layer that records encrypted transaction events. 🔄

Arcane also supports role-based disclosure, allowing users, operators, auditors, and regulators to access scoped information under defined conditions. 📊⚡️Reporting is generated on demand and limited by role, time window, and data scope, and the product includes an interface for auditors to generate financial reports for regulators and investigate cases when required.

Arcane’s focus is straightforward:
➡️bring compliance-ready privacy to Stellar in a form applications can actually integrate and use
➡️with configurable controls
➡️that support cleaner entry into the pool
➡️private execution by default
➡️reporting or investigation when needed.

👍 Nvidia unveils Ising, world’s first AI models tackling quantum barriers

NVIDIA has launched a new family of open AI models aimed at solving two of the biggest challenges in quantum computing: calibration and error correction. Called Ising, the models are designed to help researchers and enterprises build more stable and scalable quantum systems by improving how quantum processors are tuned and how errors are detected and corrected in real time.

The models integrate with its CUDA-Q platform and NVQLink hardware interconnect, allowing real-time interaction between quantum processors and classical GPUs. NVIDIA says its Ising models deliver up to 2.5 times faster performance and 3 times higher accuracy in quantum error correction compared to traditional approaches, marking a step toward more reliable quantum hardware.
