INFINIT Opening DApp Creation to All With First-Ever DeFi Abstraction Layer (19 Aug)
Bangkok, Thailand, August 19th, 2024, Chainwire
INFINIT, the first-of-its-kind DeFi abstraction layer, today announces that it will soon open dApp creation to all, allowing anyone to build and customize DeFi applications in a matter of minutes. INFINIT is a DeFi infrastructure that abstracts away complexities to launch and scale decentralized finance applications across any integrated chain. Like pump.fun before it, INFINIT enables anyone to enter the arena and build their own financial dApps.
Supported by prominent investors including Electric Capital and Mirana Ventures, among others, INFINIT’s platform will allow experienced and novice developers to create customized DeFi protocols within minutes, without the need for complex coding languages like Solidity or Rust. By leveraging TypeScript, developers will be able to easily integrate new functionalities to existing applications or launch entirely new customized DeFi applications in a few clicks. In its later phase, non-developers will also be able to launch and scale DeFi protocols directly from INFINIT’s user-friendly interface, where coding will not be required at all.
INFINIT has already facilitated over $630M in TVL across 12 protocols. Key successes include Ethena Labs and INIT Capital, which achieved $270M in TVL within four months of launch.
"INFINIT has driven our USDe trading volume and liquidity provisioning on both Mantle and Blast from day one,” said Guy Young, Founder at Ethena Labs. “INFINIT's support has enabled us to rapidly expand into new ecosystems and set a strong foundation for future scalability."
The rapid growth of Layer 1s, Layer 2s, and Roll-ups hasn't been matched with an influx of high-quality dApps, which are required for a thriving DeFi ecosystem. Builders face significant setbacks due to niche skill requirements that create a high barrier to entry and lead to forking and increased risk of exploitation. INFINIT addresses these pain points by providing a robust, modular infrastructure that lowers the barrier to entry, reduces vulnerabilities, and enables rapid market entry and scaling for DeFi protocols. Additionally, INFINIT provides an infrastructure for any chain to easily integrate and immediately accelerate the growth of its entire DeFi vertical.
"We created INFINIT to revolutionize how DeFi protocols are launched and scaled by abstracting away the complexities," said Tascha Punyaneramitdee, Founder and Core Contributor at INFINIT. "We are committed to becoming the backbone infrastructure for DeFi developers to build the projects that onboard the next million developers and users to DeFi.”
INFINIT supports the entire lifecycle of building a DeFi project, catering to developers at 2 project phases: Launch and Scale. In the Launch phase, INFINIT provides all the building blocks necessary to launch new DeFi protocols with customized features in minutes. This phase supports projects from stages 0 to 1, allowing developers to quickly create new products, from money markets to yield strategy protocols and beyond. In the Scale phase, INFINIT facilitates the seamless addition of new features or functionalities to existing protocols within minutes. For instance, developers can expand product functionality by integrating new DeFi strategies like leveraged yield farming.

Holonym Foundation Emerges With $5.5 Million Seed Funding to Provide Global Digital Personhood Wi...
Delaware, United States, August 16th, 2024, Chainwire
Led by Finality Capital and Paper Ventures, with participation from Arrington Capital, Draper Dragon, Lightshift, and others.
Holonym Foundation, an organization building the next generation of digital identity security for the decentralized web, is announcing the completion of a successful $5.5 million seed funding round. The funding round was led by Finality Capital and Paper Ventures, with significant participation from Draper Dragon, Arrington Capital, Lightshift, Zero Knowledge Ventures, Zero DAO, and other prominent funds.
Shady El Damaty, Co-Founder of Holonym, said: "We’re building core person-first principles into the technology we ship out to the world. Our goal is to build a global open-source layer that upgrades the abilities of each citizen with basic access to a digital identity using cryptography to prove their personhood."
“We can’t have self-sovereign control of our monetary assets without self-sovereign identity. The Holonym foundation is building critical middleware and applications that will make Web3 users the envy of Web2 users by giving them the power to own, govern, and selectively share their data with strong privacy and security guarantees. Holonym will be part of the solution to usher in the next trillion dollars of assets into blockchain.’’, said Kamal Mokeddem, GP of Finality Capital.
Cryptographic keys, or private keys, run the web and secure every digital interaction on the internet. But what if private keys could be built differently and in a more sophisticated way? Human Keys completely change how private keys are derived. Instead of creating private keys from random phrases, Human Keys make humans into keys. This new framing shifts ownership of digital assets from the holder of a random seed, to the human that can uniquely prove their biometrics. Human Keys make the ownership layers of the internet built on top more consumer-friendly, decentralized, and secure.
Human Keys encompass three protocols built by the Holonym Foundation, all having security and robust data privacy systems as core principles:
Mishti Network, a breakthrough threshold entropy network that computes an Oblivious Pseudorandom Function (OPRF) on biometric data.
This allows humans to derive random secure keys that are hard to steal, and it unlocks private homomorphic computation on encrypted data, allowing untrusted third-parties to authenticate users without ever seeing the underlying data.
This is an Actively Validated Service (AVS) on Eigenlayer with crypto economic mechanisms that leverage the economic security of the Ethereum network.
Zeronym, a zero knowledge identity protocol, leverages Human Keys to allow anyone in the world to secretly prove facts about their identity.
Over 125,000 pseudonymous Zeronym users around the world have already unlocked these rights, proving their unique personhood, residency, and other attributes to curate a rich digital reputation that they alone own and control.
Silk, a simple and elegant wallet user interface for interacting with crypto protocols.
Human Keys are made usable in the real world by the everyday internet user with Silk.
Silk provides advanced security tools to protect users from hackers, scams, and malware on the decentralized web.
Nanak Nihal Singh Khalsa, Co-Founder of Holonym said: ’’Humanity is not just biometrics, e.g. your face. It is about what you have, what you know and what you are: your property, your memory, and your body. On the current centralized web, we are giving free ownership to our data. Web3 must be the space where we provide robust data ownership and secure sharing of personhood, so that nobody can own your data except you.’’
By granting every human in the world a secure key that only they can hold and control, the Holonym Foundation moves towards global digital inclusion, precisely at a time when advancements in artificial intelligence are poised to leave so many behind.
Shady El Damaty, co-founder of Holonym, says this is just the start for the Holonym Foundation. “Human Keys will redefine how citizens interact with the internet by limiting the overreach of power and hardening individual rights with resilient decentralized protocols built on Zeronym and Mishti Network.”
Holonym Foundation is focused on applied cryptography innovation that delivers solutions for real-world problems.
About Holonym Foundation
The Holonym Foundation’s mission is the proliferation of Human Keys to make security and privacy more usable in zero trust environments. Holonym Foundation has developed infrastructure to allow anyone, anywhere, to create Human Keys with Mishti Network, easily use them with Silk and privately prove facts about their identity with Zeronym.
Holonym Foundation Products
Mishti Network. A threshold network for zero trust Human Key derivation. Create high entropy Human Keys from private biometrics, passwords, security questions, or other human-memorable data. Mishti also powers Zeronym’s programmable privacy for on-chain private banking, payments, and other real world regulated industries.
Silk. The human-friendly wallet for instant onboarding. Use Human Keys with zero trust protocols to save, send payments, access global internet finance protocols and manage your private data. Silk is a protected self-custody wallet that can be recovered without trusted guardians.
Zeronym. Proof of personhood and private identity. Fast client-side privacy for identity verification, supporting digital credentials from 180 countries. Use Human Keys to prove any fact privately without revealing any information in zero knowledge. Business can utilize Zeronym for privacy-preserving KYC/AML with programmable privacy for on-going monitoring.

Mosaic Chain Secures 73rd Parachain Slot on Polkadot (15 Aug)
Budapest, Hungary, August 15th, 2024, Chainwire
Mosaic Chain has successfully secured a parachain slot on the Polkadot Relay Chain, marking a significant milestone in its journey towards the mainnet launch.
By winning the 73rd parachain auction, Mosaic Chain will be connected to Polkadot for approximately 96 weeks, from July 3, 2024, to May 8, 2026. During this period, the Polkadot Relay Chain will provide full economic security and trustless interoperability for Mosaic Chain through XCM.
The auction was won with a simplified version of the Mosaic Chain runtime, known as a placeholder runtime, which will be continuously upgraded as development progresses. Mosaic Chain is also preparing to launch its testnet soon, where it will beta-test new functionalities, including an NFT-based Consensus Mechanism. The testnet will allow for the refinement of features before these are implemented on the mainnet.
Additionally, Mosaic Chain plans to launch ‘Mosaic Alpha V2’, its first decentralized application (dApp), which will offer decentralized portfolio management through Token Baskets, incorporating tokens from Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain and Polkadot ecosystems.
"When designing the Mosaic Alpha platform, extensive research revealed the lack of an ideal home for DeFi apps. Universal blockchains like Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain, while suitable for various applications, often fall short for finance due to competition for transaction processing capacity, leading to potential delays and increased costs. Recognizing the need for a more reliable solution, Mosaic Chain was developed specifically for financial service providers in both Traditional Finance and Web3. This blockchain aims to create an optimal environment for financial projects to flourish and bridge the gap between the two worlds," said Attila Vidákovics, CEO at Mosaic Chain.
Built with the Substrate blockchain builder framework, Mosaic Chain will support advanced functionalities such as decentralized on-chain governance, trustless interoperability, forkless runtime upgrades, and light-client support.
About Mosaic Chain
Mosaic Chain is dedicated to advancing the capabilities and interoperability of decentralized networks. Through their innovative approach and robust development framework, they aim to provide a secure, scalable, and versatile platform for developers and users alike.

"When designing the Mosaic Alpha platform, extensive research revealed the lack of an ideal home for DeFi apps. Universal blockchains like Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain, while suitable for various applications, often fall short for finance due to competition for transaction processing capacity, leading to potential delays and increased costs. Recognizing the need for a more reliable solution, Mosaic Chain was developed specifically for financial service providers in both Traditional Finance and Web3. This blockchain aims to create an optimal environment for financial projects to flourish and bridge the gap between the two worlds," said Attila Vidákovics, CEO at Mosaic Chain.
Built with the Substrate blockchain builder framework, Mosaic Chain will support advanced functionalities such as decentralized on-chain governance, trustless interoperability, forkless runtime upgrades, and light-client support.

Cellula Introduces Programmable Incentive Layer to Gamify Asset Issuance (15 Aug)
hongkong, china, August 15th, 2024, Chainwire
In a groundbreaking move to address the challenges of equitable asset distribution and decentralization in the cryptocurrency space, Cellula has unveiled its innovative programmable incentive layer built on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem. At the core of Cellula's innovation is its virtual Proof-of-Work (vPOW) consensus mechanism, which combines principles from Conway's Game of Life, Variable Rate GDAs Algorithm, and Game Theory to revolutionize the way digital assets are distributed and liquidity is allocated.
The crypto industry has long grappled with the issue of "whales" - a small group of individuals or entities that accumulate a disproportionate share of assets, leading to market manipulation, reduced decentralization, and limited participation opportunities for smaller investors. Additionally, traditional asset distribution methods, such as pre-mining, have further concentrated ownership, undermining the fairness and accessibility of these ecosystems.
"We have grown weary of the war between the witches and the hunters," said the Cellula team. "Cellula seeks to address these dual challenges by reintroducing the BTC Proof-of-Work mechanism to EVM-compatible networks, pioneering asset distribution and liquidity allocation guidance through virtual Proof of Work (vPOW)."
Cellula's vPOW mechanism empowers "BitLife" entities with unique hashrates, enabling them to engage in a gamified mining process that generates dynamic incentives. This revolutionary approach is powered by Cellula's trifecta of innovative algorithms: Conway's Game of Life for mining, Variable Rate GDAs (VRGDA) for pricing, and the Analysoor protocol for fair distribution and liquidity guidance.
Mining Algorithm - Conway's Game of Life - Genetic Code Of On-Chain Digital Life: Conway's Game of Life underpins Cellula's on-chain entities, "BitLife," which evolve dynamically, reflecting natural life cycles and enabling complex AI development within the blockchain. This gamified mining process encourages participants to develop more optimal strategies to potentially earn additional block rewards, fostering a competitive environment that ensures only committed resources are rewarded.
Pricing Algorithm - Variable Rate GDAs - A Dynamic Pricing for NFT Distributions: VRGDA adjusts asset prices based on demand, increasing when sales are high and decreasing when they lag, ensuring balanced distribution even in illiquid markets. This dynamic pricing model helps to prevent the concentration of assets in the hands of a few, promoting wider participation and a more equitable distribution.
Consensus Algorithm - Analysoor - Fair Asset Distribution And Liquidity Guidance: Analysoor is a Fair Launch protocol on Solana that uses block hashes for a random number generator to distribute NFTs and tokens fairly. Unlike traditional models, it avoids high GAS fees and bidding wars by offering fixed-cost "block lottery tickets" for participation. Each ticket's block hash determines winners transparently, preventing bots and ensuring equal opportunities for all users, regardless of financial power. Transaction fees from the lottery are used to inject liquidity into new assets, promoting ecosystem growth. Integrating Analysoor with vPOW also provides fairer asset distribution and better liquidity allocation guidance.
"Cellula's vPOW mechanism is truly a game-changer," explained the Cellula team. "By seamlessly integrating these cutting-edge technologies, we have created a programmable incentive layer that is poised to reshape the future of decentralized finance and on-chain participation."
One of the key features that sets Cellula apart is its permissionless nature. The vPOW mechanism allows any participant (miner) in the network to potentially earn rewards by minting and charging Bitlife, without the need for a central authority to allocate resources. This approach ensures a more open and transparent asset distribution process, fostering greater decentralization and accessibility.
Transparency is also a cornerstone of Cellula's design. All algorithms and asset distribution processes are recorded on-chain, enabling anyone the ability to verify and review the process, thereby increasing the system's transparency and credibility.
"Cellula is poised to usher in a new era of on-chain participation and value creation," said the Cellula team. "By seamlessly integrating these innovative technologies, we are redefining the way assets are distributed and liquidity is allocated, paving the way for a more equitable and decentralized crypto ecosystem."
With its comprehensive approach to addressing the challenges of asset distribution and decentralization, Cellula is set to revolutionize the way the crypto industry approaches these critical issues. As the project continues to evolve and expand its reach, it remains a beacon of hope for a future where fair and transparent asset distribution is the norm, not the exception.

Avatar.One Helps Over 120K Active Users Battle the Loneliness Epidemic With 3D AI Companions (14 ...
Road Town, British Virgin Islands, August 14th, 2024, Chainwire
Matrix.One, the decentralized protocol accelerating the development of human-like AI characters, is thrilled to announce that their flagship product, Avatar.One, has surpassed 120,000 monthly active users worldwide since it launched earlier this year, with many of the users spending over three hours chatting with their personalized AI companions. Built on Solana, with more than 100,000 connected Solana wallets, Avatar.One enables users to easily create their ideal 3D AI companion to help fight the loneliness epidemic worldwide.
Avatar.One’s avatar maker allows users to define the AI companion’s personality, choosing from hundreds of thousands of variations, and even giving it a live AI-generated voice. Users get to chat unfiltered with their characters, flirt, receive selfies and videos, and create memories together. They can even further develop the AI character’s personality by adding memories.
Last year, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared loneliness a “global public health concern” that could be as bad for people’s health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Among the older adults, loneliness is associated with a 50% higher risk of developing dementia and a 30% increased risk of stroke.
According to a Harvard University survey, 61% of Americans aged 18 - 24 experience severe loneliness. Another Harvard study conducted this year suggests that interaction with AI companions reduces loneliness on par with interacting with another human. Further studies have also revealed AI Companions can assist in social and emotional skill development.
Mark Studholme, Co-Founder of Avatar.One and Matrix One, said, “I envision a future where every living person can own an AI character they define. These AI characters can help them with daily tasks, whether that be reminding you of your mom’s birthday, watching Netflix with you on the couch, or even paying your taxes.”
The loneliness epidemic is a significant problem. But with the rise in AI technology and its rate of development, it’s possible to build a future where everyone has a full-time 3D companion to help with everything from conversation to advice on cooking, reminders about important events, submitting taxes, financial management, and more. The quality of the chat experience is constantly improving and better able to emulate real human interactions as AI models get more refined.
Avatar.One is powered by Matrix One’s custom built decentralized protocol, which boasts a character studio, avatar maker, and a vast library of LLMs. From this technology, 3D AI characters can be integrated with game engines such as Unreal, Unity and Three.js. Matrix One allows fully animated AI powered characters to be delivered across many different mediums including web, mobile, VR, AR and more. As a result, all avatars are downloadable for use in over 200 games and applications.
Avatar.One prioritizes user safety and privacy. All interactions and user data are stored in an encrypted database using SSH and kept confidential, never to be shared with third parties. It also uses passwordless authentication to ensure that a user’s password cannot be stolen.
The user growth milestone comes as Matrix.One prepares for its upcoming token generation event (TGE) on Polkastarter, Seedify and ChainGPT in the weeks before the token’s listing on centralized exchanges. The $MATRIX token enables participation and transaction within the Matrix One network, allowing users to access, create, and interact with AI characters, besides giving holders governance rights.
Avatar.One is available to anyone above the age of 18 who feels AI companions can alleviate their loneliness. The platform plans to make on-chain characters available soon, allowing users to fully own their character and interaction history.

Matrix.One, the decentralized protocol accelerating the development of human-like AI characters, is thrilled to announce that their flagship product, Avatar.One, has surpassed 120,000 monthly active users worldwide since it launched earlier this year, with many of the users spending over three hours chatting with their personalized AI companions. Built on Solana, with more than 100,000 connected Solana wallets, Avatar.One enables users to easily create their ideal 3D AI companion to help fight the loneliness epidemic worldwide.
Avatar.One’s avatar maker allows users to define the AI companion’s personality, choosing from hundreds of thousands of variations, and even giving it a live AI-generated voice. Users get to chat unfiltered with their characters, flirt, receive selfies and videos, and create memories together. They can even further develop the AI character’s personality by adding memories.
Last year, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared loneliness a “global public health concern” that could be as bad for people’s health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Among the older adults, loneliness is associated with a 50% higher risk of developing dementia and a 30% increased risk of stroke.
According to a Harvard University survey, 61% of Americans aged 18 - 24 experience severe loneliness. Another Harvard study conducted this year suggests that interaction with AI companions reduces loneliness on par with interacting with another human. Further studies have also revealed AI Companions can assist in social and emotional skill development.
Mark Studholme, Co-Founder of Avatar.One and Matrix One, said, “I envision a future where every living person can own an AI character they define. These AI characters can help them with daily tasks, whether that be reminding you of your mom’s birthday, watching Netflix with you on the couch, or even paying your taxes.”
The loneliness epidemic is a significant problem. But with the rise in AI technology and its rate of development, it’s possible to build a future where everyone has a full-time 3D companion to help with everything from conversation to advice on cooking, reminders about important events, submitting taxes, financial management, and more. The quality of the chat experience is constantly improving and better able to emulate real human interactions as AI models get more refined.
Avatar.One is powered by Matrix One’s custom built decentralized protocol, which boasts a character studio, avatar maker, and a vast library of LLMs. From this technology, 3D AI characters can be integrated with game engines such as Unreal, Unity and Three.js. Matrix One allows fully animated AI powered characters to be delivered across many different mediums including web, mobile, VR, AR and more. As a result, all avatars are downloadable for use in over 200 games and applications.
Avatar.One prioritizes user safety and privacy. All interactions and user data are stored in an encrypted database using SSH and kept confidential, never to be shared with third parties. It also uses passwordless authentication to ensure that a user’s password cannot be stolen.

Floki Announces Major Ad Campaign for Valhalla in the English Premier League for 2024-25 Season (...
Miami, Florida, August 13th, 2024, Chainwire
Floki is proud to announce that Valhalla, Floki's groundbreaking PlayToEarn MMORPG, will be at the forefront of a high-profile advertising campaign throughout the 2024-25 season of the English Premier League (EPL).
Leveraging LED perimeter boards during live games, this campaign will deliver massive global exposure and enhance the brand’s credibility.
The English Premier League is the most popular sporting league globally, attracting more viewers than both the UEFA Champions League and the Bundesliga combined. For the 2022-23 season, the EPL boasted a cumulative audience of 3.23 billion.
Broadcasting to 712 million households across 190 countries, the league reaches 2.01 billion viewers of live match programming over the season and 1.22 billion viewers of highlight shows and other non-live content, according to data sourced from Nielsen.
Premier League clubs also have a staggering following on social media, with over half a billion total followers. Leading the way, Facebook has 240 million followers, Instagram has 157 million, TikTok has 56 million, X has 123 million, and YouTube has 28 million.
Valhalla’s LED perimeter board ads will be strategically placed to maximize visibility. The full TV-facing ad system ensures that the ads are prominently visible during broadcasts. Creative flexibility allows for dynamically tailored ad content. Branding will be visible inside the event itself, providing in-program exposure.
The ads will ensure multichannel coverage, making them visible across various devices and platforms, including broadcast, social media, mobile, and online. There are no virtual overlays to interfere with the ads in the Premier League, ensuring uninterrupted visibility. Additionally, minimal ad avoidance makes the ads almost unavoidable for viewers.
According to the team, each minute of LED ad delivery results in an astounding 156 minutes of global on-screen visibility.
The ad campaign will cover 100 minutes of ad time throughout the season and will be globally broadcast to ensure extensive reach. At least 40% of the advertising inventory will be shown during matches featuring the league’s top clubs.
The extensive campaign is projected to reach a massive global audience. In total, it is expected to reach over 200 million people, with about 1.2 billion impressions and a total on-screen duration of nearly 440 hours. In Europe, the campaign is projected to generate around 81 million impressions with an on-screen duration of approximately 181 hours.
In Asia & Oceania, about 47 million impressions are expected with an on-screen duration of nearly 168 hours. In Africa, the campaign is projected to achieve around 48 million impressions and an on-screen duration of almost 34 hours.
This campaign will be featured on some of the biggest broadcasters in the world, including Sky Sports, TNT, Amazon Prime, BBC (highlights), NBC Sports (including Peacock), USA Network, Telemundo, FuboTV, Optus Sports, Star Sports, Disney+ Hotstar, beIN Sports, Supersport, Sky Deutschland, Canal+, DAZN, Sky Italia, Astro, Now TV, and Truevisions.

Valhalla is a spin on the classic Creature-Collection adventure set in a vibrant, lively, MMORPG open-world inspired by Norse mythology. Players interact with a diverse set of eccentric creatures called Veras, discovering, taming, training, and trading them. Alone or as a clan, players partake in a dynamic, player-driven economy to rise in community ranks and achieve tactical supremacy on the hexagonal-grid battlefield.

World Mobile Accelerates U.S. Network Growth With Second Batch of AirNode Sales (13 Aug)
London, United Kingdom, August 13th, 2024, Chainwire
The DePIN network releases over 700 AirNodes in Northern Nevada and California, enhancing rewards for AirNode operators and connectivity for underserved communities.
World Mobile, a leader in decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), today launched the second batch of AirNode sales, marking a significant expansion of its U.S. wireless network and reinforcing its commitment to connecting underserved communities.
This new launch includes the deployment of over 700 AirNodes across Northern Nevada and California, to be distributed through global sales across multiple drops. The introduction of Batch Two follows the rapid sellout of Batch One earlier this year, which saw a complete uptake in fewer than 36 hours. World Mobile’s AirNodes, which are decentralized wireless network nodes, provide both cellular and fixed wireless internet connectivity, particularly to areas where traditional services fall short.
AirNodes offer a unique opportunity for anyone to purchase and operate a DePIN node. AirNode Operators are rewarded based on the subscriber usage of the wireless services provided by their AirNode. In June, the average rewards payment for Operators exceeded $400, highlighting the impact of participation in the network.
“The launch of Batch Two is a testament to our unwavering commitment to revolutionizing global connectivity," said Micky Watkins, CEO of World Mobile Group. "We're enabling communities to take control of their own networks, ensuring they not only gain access to reliable wireless connectivity, but also benefit economically through rewards. This initiative underscores our belief that connectivity should be both accessible and rewarding for everyone involved."
Batch Two introduces two new AirNode models—the Apex and Link AirNodes. Together, these models provide cutting-edge fixed wireless internet access to subscribers while simultaneously enhancing World Mobile's cellular network capabilities. The Apex AirNode is priced at $15,999, and the Link AirNode at $749 ($699 for those on the Early Access Whitelist).
As World Mobile's network continues to expand, it recently surpassed 100,000 daily active users globally, representing a 400 percent growth over the last year. This achievement positions World Mobile as the largest decentralized wireless network by unique users, with the network’s operations supported by World Mobile Token (WMT). All network transactions, including calls, data, and wallet transactions, will be compensated in WMT, ensuring that operators and stakers remain incentivized and engaged in driving ecosystem growth.
About World Mobile Group
World Mobile Group is democratizing global connectivity through its blockchain-based decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN).

Kelp DAO Launches ‘Gain Vault’ With First Integrated L2 Access (13 Aug)
Dubai, UAE, August 13th, 2024, Chainwire
Kelp DAO, a liquid restaking platform is launching the ‘Kelp Gain Vaults’ Program. The program enhances earning potential of airdrops and rewards for restakers and users, being the first project giving access to multiple Layer 2 airdrops in a single, diversified strategy.
Kelp Gain allows users to benefit from streamlined access to diverse rewards strategies through a single click. The program will initially feature the Airdrop Gain Vault, a specialized vault that simplifies participation in airdrop opportunities across various L2 protocols, without managing individual positions.
The vaults leverage smart contracts to manage asset deployments and maximize airdrops and rewards. Users deposit assets into the vault and receive a synthetic token in return. These assets are then allocated to curated reward opportunities, with periodic adjustments made by the vault’s strategy manager to optimize returns and mitigate risks. This approach provides comprehensive access to L2 airdrops and also utilizes the composability of DeFi with synthetic token.
"The Kelp Gain Vault is a leap forward in user experience, reward optimization and leveraging DeFi composability," said Amitej G, Co-founder of Kelp DAO. "By focusing on targeted strategies and integrating with both L2 protocols and mainnet DeFi yields, we are providing users with a comprehensive, automated solution to maximize rewards potential. This collaboration with our range of partners ensures users benefit from streamlined access to high-growth opportunities with minimal effort."
The Airdrop Gain Vault lets users deposit assets like ETH or rsETH, which are then bridged to partner L2s to enhance airdrop potential. The vault also integrates with mainnet DeFi yields, allowing users to engage in multiple DeFi strategies via a single synthetic token, agETH. Additionally, users can further enhance yields with the synthetic reward bearing token that can be deployed on Pendle and other DeFi protocols for earning fixed yields, and speculating on airdrops by earning multi-fold points.
The vault is being launched in partnership with August, an institutional grade platform for crypto, developing the smart contract infrastructure, and Tulipa Capital acting as the lead strategy partner for the Airdrop Gain Vault, with L2/ DeFi partners including Linea, Karak, Scroll, Pendle, Across, LZ, Pendle, Spectra, Lyra and several DEXs. The launch of Kelp Gain marks an industry wide progression toward automated reward management and investment strategies.

About Kelp DAO:
Kelp DAO is one of the leading liquid restaking protocols—having crossed $1 billion in TVL in June 2024—with 250k+ ETH under management across 45,000 restakers. Their liquid restaked token (LRT) was the first to hit the Ethereum mainnet and pioneered liquid restaking with liquid staking tokens. Currently, Kelp DAO facilitates liquid restaking for native ETH and LSTs alike across Ethereum mainnet and 8 L2 networks.

Aleph Zero Launches Its EVM-Layer on Mainnet (12 Aug)
Zug, Switzerland, August 12th, 2024, Chainwire
Aleph Zero launches its ultra-fast Ethereum-compatible layer-2, expanding its privacy tools and new apps compatible with the world’s biggest web3 ecosystem.
Aleph Zero — a blockchain ecosystem engineered for speed, data confidentiality, and ease of development — today announced the mainnet launch of its new EVM-compatible Layer-2 solution. This significant milestone marks Aleph Zero's expansion into the Ethereum ecosystem, which will expedite the development and broaden the reach of its zkOS privacy-enhancing solutions.
The Aleph Zero EVM Layer-2 is built in partnership with Gelato, a leading Rollup-as-a-Service provider, and leverages Arbitrum Orbit technology. This combination results in an exceptionally fast and efficient blockchain, boasting a block time of up to 250 milliseconds with near-instant transaction finality. The network is capable of processing thousands of transactions per second, positioning it as one of the fastest EVM-compatible chains available.
“Aleph Zero EVM uses Arbitrum Orbits’ advanced web3 scaling stack–with the most performant developer tooling–to create the most advanced privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure on the market. Privacy will become a major narrative in 2024 and beyond, as more mainstream use cases emerge.” — Luis Schliesske, Founder of Gelato
The Layer-2 solution will utilize Aleph Zero's existing Substrate-based WASM Layer-1 blockchain as its Data Availability layer. This architecture ensures a robust and decentralized foundation for the new EVM environment, benefiting from Aleph Zero's established network of over 190 validator nodes.
AZERO, the ecosystem token, will be used on the Layer-2 to power all gas transactions similarly to how it’s being used now on the Layer-1.
zkOS Features Coming to Aleph Zero’s EVM-Layer in Q4
zkOS is Aleph Zero's new comprehensive privacy framework designed to make integrating confidentiality features into blockchain applications more accessible and user-friendly. This aligns with Aleph Zero's vision of making privacy-enhancing technologies easier to use, with the optimization benchmarks showing the system’s ability of proving ZK proofs in less than a second on consumer devices.
zkOS consolidates Aleph Zero's privacy products into a single, developer-friendly toolkit that doesn't require deep cryptographic knowledge to implement. zkOS aims to solve existing challenges in on-chain privacy, such as poor user experience, long proving times, and limited multisig capabilities. By optimizing zero-knowledge proof generation to under a second on consumer devices, zkOS strives to make privacy features more practical and economically beneficial for both new and existing applications across multiple blockchain ecosystems.
“EVM, with its user base and well-developed tooling, allows us to expedite the development of zkOS privacy framework and bring it to the second-largest market in crypto beyond Bitcoin. This is a perfect addition to our Layer-1 and adds optionality for developers and users alike.” – said Adam Gagol, Co-founder of Aleph Zero.
The first use cases already building on Aleph Zero EVM include:
pieces.market – a luxury Real-World Asset (RWA) marketplace.
Syncra – a DAO-as-a-Service platform with private voting features.
Upcade – an web3 gaming hub.
Rarible – the NFT marketplace.
DRKVRS – a web3 multiplayer RPG game.
idOS – a privacy-enhanced decentralized identity operating system.
Tubbly – a walk-to-earn game.
Introducing vib3s
vib3s, another use case on the Aleph Zero EVM, is set to enable the sports and entertainment industries to deepen their customer and fanbase relationships with the power of Web3.
This whitelabel service allows organizations to quickly introduce innovative apps that boost retention and loyalty within their user base, with an easy-to-deploy product that can be customized towards the needs of any organization.
Among the key features, users will find the newsfeed, an embedded crypto wallet, on-chain loyalty points system, thematic games for fan engagement, branded card payments, loyalty points cashback, among others. An important part of the app is its privacy-respecting nature that makes it compliant with the GDPR laws.
vib3s is powered by the Aleph Zero blockchain and the Upcade gaming hub, as well as solutions from Holyheld, Thirdweb, idOS, and others.
The project will launch its first implementation this month, targeting a large-scale entertainment use case in Europe.
For more information about Aleph Zero, users can visit https://alephzero.org.

Introducing vib3s
vib3s, another use case on the Aleph Zero EVM, is set to enable the sports and entertainment industries to deepen their customer and fanbase relationships with the power of Web3.
This whitelabel service allows organizations to quickly introduce innovative apps that boost retention and loyalty within their user base, with an easy-to-deploy product that can be customized towards the needs of any organization.
Among the key features, users will find the newsfeed, an embedded crypto wallet, on-chain loyalty points system, thematic games for fan engagement, branded card payments, loyalty points cashback, among others. An important part of the app is its privacy-respecting nature that makes it compliant with the GDPR laws.
vib3s is powered by the Aleph Zero blockchain and the Upcade gaming hub, as well as solutions from Holyheld, Thirdweb, idOS, and others.
The project will launch its first implementation this month, targeting a large-scale entertainment use case in Europe.
