The post Philippines Bets on Sui’s Move Language as Education System Struggles With Basics appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new blockchain builder program in the Philippines is helping train young developers in a remote province to write blockchain code and ship projects on-chain. Students from Puerto Princesa, the capital city of Palawan, a long, sparsely populated island province isolated to west of the Philippines, spent weeks learning something entirely new to them: Move, an open-source smart contract language originally developed from Meta’s Diem project, now adapted by its former developers who went on to build Sui and Aptos. Dubbed the Sui Builder Program, the initiative offers a skills-based and results-oriented path that stands in contrast to economies of escape many young Filipinos have turned to as systemic disparities widen and formal opportunities narrow. “What this opportunity has brought us changed our mindset [that] we should be thinking more, dreaming big,”  Nicholo dela Rosa, a third-year computer science student at Palawan State University, said onstage Friday at YGG Play Summit, the largest player-focused Web3 gaming event held annually in Manila. His team, The Scouts, won a hackathon as part of the program to create Campfire, an on-chain app that digitizes certificates and community assets while letting users earn badges for event participation. His co-developer, JK Rabanal, described it as a “gamified Luma on Sui,” referring to an app popular among crypto industry events. Asked why Move makes a good starting point for new developers in places far from major tech hubs, James Wing, who leads AAA gaming partnerships at Mysten Labs, developers of the Sui blockchain, told Decrypt the programming language “allows for object oriented models” that are a “more natural architecture to learn and build on for real world use cases.” The initiative was supported by the Philippine government’s national agency for information and communications technology through its regional office for Palawan. It opened training hubs and provided…

The post Tensor TNSR Price Surges 152% as Solana NFT Rally Brews appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tensor TNSR has stunned traders with a sudden triple-digit move, reshaping sentiment around Solana’s NFT trading niche almost overnight. Why did Tensor (TNSR) surge more than 152%? Tensor (TNSR), the governance token for the fast-growing Solana NFT trading platform, rocketed more than 152% from $0.1201 to an intraday high of $0.3027. This explosive move sent TNSR to its highest level since mid-September, reversing weeks of bearish mood and reigniting interest in Solana’s broader NFT ecosystem. However, the rally was not driven by new product launches or major partnership announcements. Instead, a mix of whale accumulation, a clean technical breakout, and aggressive derivatives positioning powered the move. That said, the gap between price action and on-chain usage highlights how speculation is still outpacing fundamentals in Solana’s NFT sector. How did whale accumulation ignite the TNSR rally? The initial trigger was clear TNSR whale accumulation. A newly created wallet snapped up more than $3.7 million worth of Tensor at roughly $0.08 per token, accumulating over 16.5 million TNSR in a short window. In a relatively thin Solana NFT token market, this order size was enough to jolt liquidity and sentiment almost instantly. Moreover, the aggressive buying stood out because the Solana-based marketplace operates in a low-liquidity environment, where few large buyers are active. With daily NFT trading volumes around $20,000, a multi-million-dollar purchase can reshape order books within minutes and trigger algorithmic and retail follow-through. Many traders interpreted the wallet’s behavior as a vote of confidence, despite the absence of fresh fundamental catalysts. That lack of news flow meant the market was already primed for a reaction. In such conditions, a single large buyer can become a narrative anchor, especially when the token sits near technical inflection points. This episode again underlined how sensitive the Solana NFT marketplace environment remains to concentrated…
