This section provides a theoretical justification for WormHole’s strong performance by analyzing its behavior on Chung-Lu random graphs—models known for their power-law degree distributions common in real-world social networks. Drawing on existing theorems, the analysis shows that under specific degree and diameter conditions, WormHole maintains sublinear complexity and consistent accuracy, explaining its scalability and efficiency in practice.This section provides a theoretical justification for WormHole’s strong performance by analyzing its behavior on Chung-Lu random graphs—models known for their power-law degree distributions common in real-world social networks.

4 THEORETICAL ANALYSIS

It is a relatively standard observation that many social networks exhibit, at least approximately, a power-law degree distribution (see, e.g., [9] and the many references within). The Chung-Lu model [41] is a commonly studied random graph model which admits such degree distribution.

\ In this section we provide a proof-of-concept for the correctness of WormHole on Chung-Lu random graphs, aiming to explain the good performance in practice through the study of a popular theoretical model. We sometimes only include proof sketches instead of full proofs, in the interest of saving space.

4.1 Preliminaries

\ Theorem 4.1 (Theorem 4 in [16]). Suppose a power law random graph with exponent 2<𝛽 <3, average degree 𝑑 strictly greater than 1, and maximum degree 𝑑𝑚𝑎𝑥 > log𝑛/log log𝑛. Then almost surely the diameter is Θ(log𝑛), the diameter of the CCL core is 𝑂(loglog𝑛) and almost all vertices are within distance𝑂(loglog𝑛) to CCL.

\ **Claim 4.2 (**Fact 2 in [15]). With probability at least 1−1/𝑛, for all vertices𝑣 ∈𝑉 such that𝑤(𝑣) ≥10logn

\

\ and for all vertices with𝑤(𝑣) ≤10log𝑛, 𝑑 (𝑣) ≤20log𝑛.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.
