Big news from the White House today—fresh peace and mineral agreements just got inked between the U.S., Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Why does this matter for our space? The DRC controls a massive chunk of the world's cobalt reserves, a critical material for batteries and tech infrastructure. If supply chains stabilize in that region, we could see ripple effects on hardware costs for mining operations and data centers powering blockchain networks. Peace deals rarely happen in a vacuum. Mineral rights often mean new investment flows, potentially from institutional players looking to secure resources for the next decade of tech expansion. Keep an eye on how this plays out—geopolitics and supply chains are quietly shaping the infrastructure costs we all deal with.

A stable cobalt supply means lower hardware costs, which is great news for all of us miners.

Cobalt prices are about to take off, and institutions have been eyeing the DRC for a while now. Our hardware costs are probably going to have to go down... or we're about to get squeezed.

Cobalt mines have stabilized, so on-chain hardware costs have dropped as well? That logic is a bit far-fetched.

If cobalt mines stabilize, will on-chain gas fees drop? That logic is a bit far-fetched.
