Tokenized Com2026-10-10 12:00:00Tokenized commodities look past gold as lending models and energy products target broader marketsTokenized commodities are being pitched as more than digital wrappers for gold prices. Executives from Paxos Labs, Theo and Energy Substantiation told CoinDesk the next phase could link blockchain investors with businesses that need inventory financing, opening commodity markets that have typically been handled by large institutions. The market is still small and heavily concentrated in gold. CoinGecko data cited by CoinDesk shows tokenized commodities reached a $5.55 billion market capitalization at the end of March 2026, up from $1.43 billion at the start of 2025. Almost 90% of that growth came from gold-backed tokens issued by Paxos and Tether. Paxos Labs is focusing on lending through PAXGy, a token backed by PAX Gold whose reserves are deployed to institutional borrowers. Theo is using silver leases in its thSLVR product to pass income to holders while keeping silver price exposure. Energy Substantiation, meanwhile, has expanded its WTIC oil token from Ethereum to Solana and is developing natural gas and Brent-based tokens. The executives see a much larger addressable market ahead, but they also pointed to custody, transport, logistics and borrower default risk as barriers that still need to be managed.500
TypeScript2026-10-08 08:06:34Theo open-sources tsc-rs after Claude rebuilt the TypeScript 7 compiler in Rust in two weeksDeveloper Theo has open-sourced tsc-rs, a Rust port of Microsoft’s Go-based TypeScript 7 compiler that is meant to directly replace the official tsc. The project covers the compiler, type checker, and language server. Theo said he never read any of the generated code during the process, which lasted about five months. The first phase relied on Codex and several OpenAI models. That effort produced more than 1.3 million lines of Rust code, but compatibility stalled at roughly 84%. Based on API list pricing, the token cost for that stage exceeded $400,000. Theo later switched to Claude Opus 5.5, which discarded the earlier codebase and restarted the port from scratch. A runnable first version was produced in 10 hours, and the main work was completed within two weeks. Theo said the token usage for that phase worked out to about $24,000 at API pricing. Tests show tsc-rs has passed 181,711 tests ported from Go. Across 120 open-source projects, its checking results were broadly consistent with Microsoft’s Go version, with only a small number of known behavioral differences. Performance tests on 60 open-source projects also showed the Rust version’s type checking took about half as long on average as the Go version.660
