Today, we're upgrading Kaito staking. In 2025, it returned $1.64 for every $KAITO staked, a 136% annualized return, letting believers in the network share in the ecosystem's upside. We're introducing three improvements to how rewards reach stakers: 1. Expected 2x more allocation, as we're implementing an eligibility opt-in before allocation is determined. Last year the claim rate among stakers was around 50%, so under the new process all unallocated tokens are reallocated to active stakers before airdrop claims open. 2. Expected 2x more project participation rate. Previously, about half of projects dropped to Kaito stakers. This year we're waiving fees for pre-TGE token campaigns so all of them participate in the drops, making for a cleaner partnership and more rewards flowing to stakers. 3. Long-term stakers get disproportionately more rewards. Each drop now requires staking through the full campaign period. Some participants used to stake shortly before an airdrop, so under the new rule, if a campaign runs from mid-August to mid-November, rewards are distributed among stakers who held for the entire three-month period. All of this grows rewards for active participants who are long-term oriented. In the new year, we'll also be running more initiatives with community-bootstrapped experiments. Some of last year's biggest drops came from experimental projects such as Boop, and we'll continue putting our distribution behind community-bootstrapped teams building something new. The minimum requirement for most drops remains 5,000 sKAITO, with a 10% allocation multiplier for Yapybara NFT holders. This is to ensure the allocation is meaningful for participants in the ecosystem. Smaller stakers looking to participate in the upside can use our Pendle pool for YT-sKAITO. During Pendle pool rollovers, we'll run both pools in parallel so your position carries over without interruption.

The United States produced more uranium in one quarter this year than in the whole of 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 put together. The US Energy Information Administration published the number on Friday as a line in a data feed. 1,087,504 pounds against 941,136 for the four years. It is the highest quarter the agency has published since the first quarter of 2015, forty five quarters back. Six sites did it, across three states. White Mesa Mill in Utah, the last conventional uranium mill operating in the country, made 867,442. The other five pump the metal out of the ground in solution. Lost Creek 129,444. Alta Mesa 44,813. Willow Creek 32,195. Ross 9,302. Smith Ranch-Highland 4,308. Four of the six are in Wyoming. The agency did publish an analysis piece the same day, on uranium, under a named author. It is about calendar 2025 and it does not contain the number 1,087,504. There was no press release. The record quarter went out in the What's New feed. Set against demand it is small. American reactors bought 46.9 million pounds in 2025, so a record quarter is 2.3 percent of one year of purchases. Domestic material was 7 percent of deliveries. Canada supplied 32 percent and Kazakhstan 28. Half of 2026 has already produced 98.4 percent of everything the country made in all of 2025. The mines are coming back at a speed nobody scheduled, and 93 percent of the fuel still arrives from abroad.

California is returning 136 acres of Blues Beach and the Mendocino County bluffs to three Native American tribes. This transfer fulfills legislation signed in 2021 and returns ancestral lands to the rightful stewardship of local tribes while preserving public access.
