The Open AGI Summit, a leading open source AI conference, will convene in Denver on February 19, 2025, for a full day of programming addressing one of technology's defining questions: should Artificial General Intelligence be controlled by a handful of corporations, or built openly by the researchers, engineers, and communities who believe intelligence should be accessible to everyone?
Presented by Sentient, the summit will bring together researchers, founders, and builders working across AI and crypto to explore how decentralized intelligence can be developed transparently, ethically, and without centralized control.
The explosive rise of autonomous AI agents, from OpenClaw's 150,000+ GitHub stars to fully onchain agents executing transactions and governance, has made one thing clear: the future of AI is agentic, and it's being built in the open. This year's summit will explore why Web3 infrastructure, including decentralized compute, tokenized incentives, verifiable execution, and open-source frameworks, is not just complementary but essential to building AI agents that are trustworthy, composable, and owned by their communities rather than corporations.

“Closed AI represents the greatest heist of public knowledge in all of human history. As AGI becomes more powerful, the risk is that a handful of corporations, countries or even individuals control the intelligence that shapes our economies, our institutions, and our daily lives. The Open AGI Summit brings together the researchers, engineers, and builders who believe there is another path, one where intelligence is built in the open, governed transparently, and aligned with the public interest rather than concentrated power.”

— Himanshu Tyagi, Co Founder, Sentient

The Seventh Edition
The Denver event marks the seventh Open AGI Summit. Since launching in Denver in 2024, the summit has grown into a global series with editions in Brussels, Bangkok, Cannes, and Buenos Aires. This seventh edition represents the third time the community has gathered in Denver, returning to where the movement began.
The summit will serve as a meeting point for those shaping the future of AI, blockchain, and open infrastructure, with programming designed to encourage collaboration across ecosystems.

Program Highlights
The event will feature presentations and panels from leaders at Coinbase, Consensys, MetaMask, Base, Billions, Ethereum Foundation, Zama, and Aztec, alongside keynotes from Prisma X, Gensyn, and Sentient Labs. Sessions will cover AI agents, DeFi AI, privacy-preserving systems, open source model training, and governance at scale.

Previous editions have featured Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of the Ethereum Foundation, and Balaji Srinivasan, former CTO at Coinbase and GP at a16z.

A Global Movement for Open AGI
The Open AGI Summit is part of a broader movement committed to ensuring AGI remains open, accessible, and aligned with public interest rather than concentrated corporate power. As the debate over AI governance intensifies and regulatory frameworks take shape worldwide, the summit provides a forum for those building alternatives to closed, corporate-controlled AI development.

MEXC, the fastest-growing global cryptocurrency exchange redefining a user-first approach to digital assets through true zero-fee trading, marking the ninth phase of its ongoing collaboration with Ondo Finance. All 17 pairs are available to trade with zero fees for the first 30 days, extending MEXC's industry-leading commitment to cost-free access across its growing suite of real-world assets.
The new pairs bring a further wave of tokenized U.S. equities to MEXC's platform, including names spanning technology, healthcare, and financial markets. All tokens are ERC-20 issued on Ethereum, denominated in USDT, and supported by MEXC's proprietary market-making technology to ensure deep liquidity and tight spreads from day one. The pairs go live across three batches between 13:00 and 14:00 UTC on February 13, with full listing details available at MEXC New Listing page.
This ninth batch builds on the momentum established since MEXC's inaugural tokenized stock launch in September 2025, and further expands what is already one of the largest zero-fee gateways to traditional markets in crypto. Combined with previous rollouts, MEXC's tokenized stock offering now spans an extensive range of blue-chip equities and institutional-grade assets, giving its 40 million users diversified exposure to traditional markets directly within its ecosystem.

Tokenized stocks are no longer an experiment at the edges of crypto. They are becoming a natural extension of how users diversify their portfolios, hedge risk, and build real wealth in a digital world. With each new rollout alongside Ondo Finance, we are bringing familiar assets into a faster, more open financial system. The 30-day zero-fee launch reflects our direction to remove friction, expand choice, and give anyone, anywhere access to opportunities that were once reserved for a few.
said Vugar Usi, Chief Operating Officer of MEXC.

Renaiss, a BNB Chain–based infrastructure project for real-world collectible RWAs, has completed a 24-hour beta test of Gacha V2, its “infinite pool” gacha module, recording over $700,000 in single-day trading volume during the test window.
The Gacha V2 beta followed multiple rapid sellouts of Gacha V1 limited pack drops.
While Gacha V2 introduces an “infinite pool” experience at the application layer, the team noted that the milestone is ultimately driven by its underlying infrastructure — built to convert physical collectibles into verifiably stored, authenticated, and tradable on-chain assets.
During the beta, 7,117 PSA-certified Pokémon cards were drawn through Gacha V2, with the highest single-card value exceeding $2,500.

Renaiss launched on BNB Chain three months ago and is currently in Open Beta. To date, the platform reports over $3 million in cumulative trading volume and more than 160,000 registered users.

The Infrastructure Behind On-Chain Collectibles
Renaiss describes Gacha V2 as an application-layer module built on top of its broader infrastructure stack for physical collectible RWAs.

Assets brought on-chain through Renaiss are authenticated via third-party certification and onboarded through a trust-minimized mechanism powered by its Vault Operating System (VOS). The underlying physical collectibles are securely stored with professional custodians across multiple regions, forming a distributed network of ecosystem nodes that includes professional card shops and vault operators worldwide.

This architecture allows users to trade and eventually redeem assets in an environment where provenance, custody, and asset status are verifiable on-chain rather than dependent on platform trust.
“Gacha V2 is an application-layer stress test of real demand,” the team said. “The deeper signal is that collectors and ecosystem partners engage when custody, verification, and settlement infrastructure are robust.”
The full version of Gacha V2 is expected to launch in Q1 2026.

Phemex, a user-first crypto exchange, announced the launch of Phemex TradFi, a new futures trading offering that allows users to access traditional financial assets, including stocks and precious metals, on a 24/7 basis. Futures linked to commodities, foreign exchange, and global indices will be introduced in subsequent phases.
The launch marks Phemex's entry into multi-market derivatives, enabling traders to manage exposure to both crypto and traditional assets within a single, USDT-settled futures framework. To support early adoption, Phemex is introducing a 0-Fee TradFi Futures Carnival, offering three months of zero trading fees, starting from February 6, on stock futures alongside a $100,000 incentive pool aimed at structured and risk-aware participation, and a first-trade protection mechanism that reimburses eligible users with trading bonus if their initial TradFi futures trade results in a loss.
Unlike spot markets that are constrained by exchange hours, TradFi futures continue price discovery outside standard trading sessions. By bringing this derivative structure into a crypto-native environment, Phemex allows users to respond to global macro events as they unfold, whether during nights, weekends, or market closures—without switching platforms or settlement systems.
Phemex TradFi is designed for traders seeking simplicity and continuity across markets. Users can trade crypto and traditional futures side by side, benefit from transparent maker-taker pricing rather than spread-based execution, and apply strategy-driven tools to manage risk more systematically. Copy trading support for TradFi futures is also planned, extending Phemex's strategy trading ecosystem into traditional markets.
“As markets become more connected and operate beyond fixed sessions, platforms need to evolve with them” commented Federico Variola, CEO of Phemex. “Our goal with Phemex TradFi is not to replicate traditional markets, but to rethink how they are accessed — bringing continuous availability, unified settlement, and risk-aware tools into a single trading environment that reflects how traders actually operate today.”
The introduction of TradFi futures signals Phemex's evolution from a crypto-native exchange into a broader derivatives platform built for always-on global markets. As additional asset classes roll out, Phemex aims to offer traders a more integrated, resilient, and forward-looking way to navigate both digital and traditional finance.
About Phemex
Founded in 2019, Phemex is a user-first crypto exchange trusted by over 10 million traders worldwide. The platform offers spot and derivatives trading, copy trading, and wealth management products designed to prioritize user experience, transparency, and innovation. With a forward-thinking approach and a commitment to user empowerment, Phemex delivers reliable tools, inclusive access, and evolving opportunities for traders at every level to grow and succeed.

Kea Neobanking Group Heads to Consensus 2026 to Bridge the East-West Gap with its "Human-Touch" Banking Model

Kea, the neobanking group redefining business finance through its "human-touch" model, today announced a major strategic expansion into the Asian market. Debuting at Consensus 2026, Kea aims to dismantle the barriers that have left a $2.5 trillion Trade Finance Gap in the region, leaving innovative SMEs underserved by traditional financial institutions.
As global banking becomes increasingly automated, a dangerous "compliance vacuum" has emerged. Innovative companies in Asia frequently face "algorithmic exclusion"—where rigid, AI-only compliance systems freeze legitimate cross-border transactions without context or recourse. Kea’s arrival marks a shift back to Human Intelligence (HI) as a premium service.
Solving the SME Crisis
Traditional banks often reject small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and tech scale-ups due to perceived high risks and low margins. This risk-aversion has created a multi-trillion dollar gap in trade finance. Kea solves this by providing:
Contextual Compliance: Unlike "Black Box" AI, Kea’s human experts review complex cases, ensuring that innovative business models aren't blocked by outdated algorithms.Fast-Track Onboarding: Reducing the months-long wait times at traditional banks to typically several days for corporate accounts.The Asia-Global Corridor: Seamless integration of multi-currency IBANs and stablecoin liquidity to facilitate real-time trade between Asia and the rest of the world.

The $2.5 trillion trade finance gap isn't a tech failure; it's an empathy failure. Traditional banks are too scared to touch SMEs, and digital banks are too automated to understand them. At Kea, we use tech to move money, but we use humans to build trust. We’re going to Consensus to show Asia’s founders that they finally have a partner who speaks their language.
says Mark Berkovich, CEO at Kea.

Kea will be showcasing its hybrid model at Consensus 2026, offering exclusive previews of its localized Asian payment rails for institutional partners and high-growth founders.
About Kea
Kea is a global neobanking group built for the modern economy. By blending a proprietary high-performance core with a dedicated "Human-Touch" service layer, Kea provides the infrastructure for businesses to scale across borders without the friction of legacy banking or the coldness of pure automation.

As Bitcoin trades below $69,000 following its October 2025 peak of $126,000, MEXC Chief Operating Officer Vugar Usi outlined why retail-focused exchanges are gaining ground in an increasingly institutionalized market during last week's CoinGecko Meetup #33. Leading MEXC, the fastest-growing global cryptocurrency exchange redefining a user-first approach to digital assets through true zero-fee trading, Usi charted a strategic path forward that leverages retail strength in uncertain times.

The smartest investors aren't just getting rich or poor on paper with the market's swings. They're the ones who know how to lock in profits, take some money off the table, and go do something fulfilling with it. There's always a good opportunity to buy and a great opportunity to sell.
Usi told the virtual audience

While acknowledging 2025's volatility—from the Bybit hack to October's historic 10.10 liquidation event—Usi identified two fundamental market shifts: crypto's mainstream acceptance by regulators and financial institutions, and the evolution of exchanges into "super apps" offering everything from trading to payments. These shifts, he argues, create unique advantages for retail-first platforms like MEXC.

The numbers tell the story. Unlike major exchanges where 80% of volume comes from institutions, over 90% of MEXC's 40 million users are retail traders. This positioning, combined with zero-fee trading across 3,000+ listings, tokenized equities, and precious metals, places MEXC in what Usi describes as "a very sweet spot" between entry-level platforms and decentralized exchanges. 
"Making sure that someone actually trusts in you and trades with you is the actual sign of success," Usi said. "It's not about how many users there are, it's about the trading volumes."
For 2026, MEXC will continue strengthening user protection measures following last year's Guardian Fund launch while maintaining its zero-fee model across spot markets, derivatives, and tokenized assets—a strategy Usi believes will define the coming consolidation era. Despite current market conditions, Usi maintains long-term conviction in Bitcoin and strategic opportunities for traders entering at current levels.

Infinite Possibilities has announced plans to launch iPDex, a multi-chain decentralized exchange aggregator designed around on-chain activity rather than inflationary incentives. The project is also preparing to introduce its IP Membership NFT, which will provide early access to ecosystem features ahead of the platform’s broader rollout.
iPDex is designed to route swaps across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and Base. According to the team, the platform’s architecture focuses on aligning token issuance and reward distribution with verified trading activity, rather than relying on passive staking or liquidity provision models commonly used in decentralized finance.
As part of the launch, Infinite Possibilities plans to introduce IP, a utility token intended to support platform functionality and participation mechanisms across the ecosystem. Token distribution is designed to be linked to on-chain activity recorded through iPDex, with supply growth tied to platform usage rather than predefined emissions schedules.
IP Membership program
Ahead of the public launch of iPDex, Infinite Possibilities will open access to its IP Membership NFT program. The membership is designed to provide participants with early access to platform features, participation tracking, and ecosystem engagement mechanisms during the initial phase of development.
Membership participation involves a contribution denominated in USD equivalent, with participation levels tracked through an internal, non-transferable metric used to measure verified activity within the ecosystem. Following the membership phase, eligible participants may receive IP tokens based on recorded participation, subject to the program’s published terms and conditions.
The company notes that the membership program is intended to support early ecosystem development and community engagement, rather than serve as a speculative investment product.
Platform development focus
Infinite Possibilities states that iPDex is being developed with an emphasis on protocol-managed liquidity, automated execution mechanisms, and cross-chain trading infrastructure. The project aims to reduce reliance on user-supplied liquidity while enabling participation through on-chain activity and platform usage.
Additional ecosystem tools, including market data and analytics products, are planned as part of the broader Infinite Possibilities roadmap.
Looking ahead
The iPDex platform and IP Membership NFT program are expected to launch soon. Further details regarding participation mechanics, eligibility requirements, and platform features will be released through Infinite Possibilities’ official channels.

Griffin AI Announces Partnership with OpenAI and Receives Usage Milestone Trophy Recognizing 20+ Billion Tokens Processed

User engagement with GriffinAI agents accelerates with 57% month-over-month growth in prompt-driven activity, reinforcing Griffin AI’s position among the most active OpenAI model users in the crypto sector
6 February 2026— Griffin AI, the AI agent builder for DeFi, today announced its partnership with OpenAI and confirmed it has received a milestone trophy from OpenAI recognizing Griffin AI’s continued high-volume usage of OpenAI models.
Founder Oliver Feldmeier shared the milestone publicly during a recent AMA on X, noting that Griffin AI first received recognition after surpassing 10 billion tokens consumed via OpenAI’s platform, and has now received a second trophy after passing another 10 billion tokens—a sign of accelerating adoption and platform engagement.

Oliver Feldmeier, Founder of Griffin AI said:

In times like these, during the extreme market turmoil in the bear market phase, what counts is that users keep using our agents — and premium usage is paid in our native GAIN token. That organic demand, driven by real utility of our agents, is what matters beyond short-term market movements. This isn’t just a vanity metric. It’s evidence that real users are actively engaging with our agents—triggering prompts, running workflows, and using the platform at meaningful scale.

Customer growth and engagement momentum
Griffin AI has seen steady growth in user adoption and a material increase in usage intensity on the platform. In recent months, prompt-driven activity triggering Griffin AI agents grew by 57% month-over-month, reflecting a sharp rise in engagement as users increasingly rely on AI agents to support crypto research, decision support, and workflow automation.
While much of today’s activity occurs within the platform—prior to being fully observable on-chain—Griffin AI views these engagement metrics as an early indicator of product-market fit for agent-led experiences in crypto.
Why this matters
This recognition from OpenAI reinforces Griffin AI’s focus on scaling reliable, production-grade AI agent experiences for crypto users. The token milestone trophies serve as external validation that Griffin AI is operating at top-tier usage levels—positioning the company among the most active OpenAI model consumers in the crypto space.
Key milestones highlighted:

Axblade is a high-performance,Hybrid finance protocol built for the open economy. The protocol is designed to unify real-world assets and on-chain liquidity within a single, compliant financial system, enabling capital to be issued, composed, and deployed natively on-chain with settlement-grade reliability.

At its core, Axblade aims to address one of the fundamental limitations of today’s on-chain finance: the fragmentation between speculative on-chain activity and stable, real-world value. By bringing real-world assets into a programmable on-chain environment, Axblade transforms traditionally static assets into composable financial primitives, allowing capital to flow more efficiently across use cases while remaining transparent and verifiable.
Axblade is built with performance, scalability, and compliance in mind. Its architecture supports high-throughput on-chain activity while integrating compliance at the protocol level, enabling data to be verifiable without unnecessary exposure. This approach is intended to support global participation and cross-border finance, while meeting the structural requirements of real-world asset integration.
The protocol’s long-term vision is to serve as foundational infrastructure for on-chain finance—bridging off-chain value and on-chain liquidity, and providing a scalable base layer for the next phase of decentralized financial systems.

 BitMart, a global cryptocurrency trading platform, today shared an update on the global adoption of its flagship crypto payment product, BitMart Card, which now serves users across more than 115 countries and regions worldwide. The milestone reflects the growing role of crypto payments in everyday spending, as BitMart simultaneously rolls out its 2026 upgraded benefits framework, offering up to 5.5% cashback and more than $300 in annual rewards to enhance real-world crypto usage.

Real-World Usage Drives Expansion Beyond Short-Term Marketing
Unlike some crypto payment products that rely on short-term promotions or remain limited to specific regions, BitMart Card’s global footprint has been built through sustained, real-world consumer demand. The card is now widely used across a range of everyday spending scenarios, including dining, online shopping, high-frequency daily expenses, and cross-border payments.
BitMart noted that the formation of stable usage patterns across multiple markets highlights increasing acceptance of crypto payments globally, as users seek practical, reliable ways to spend digital assets beyond trading environments.
From Experimental Tool to Everyday Financial Infrastructure
In the early stages of crypto payment adoption, many products were largely experimental, with limited use cases and frequency. As infrastructure has matured, crypto payment tools are increasingly evolving toward everyday financial utilities.
The usage trajectory of BitMart Card reflects this shift. Crypto assets are no longer confined to on-platform balances, but are increasingly being used directly for real-world consumption. Whether for seamless payments during international travel or instant settlement in daily transactions, demand for stable, long-term crypto payment solutions is on being met through BitMart Card.
2026 Benefits Upgrade Focuses on Long-Term Value
As both user adoption and usage frequency continue to grow, BitMart has introduced a 2026 upgraded benefits structure for BitMart Card, designed to emphasize long-term value rather than short-term incentives.
According to the company, key highlights of the updated benefits framework include:
Up to 5.5% cashback across a wide range of everyday spending categoriesMore than $300 in annual cumulative rewards, combining welcome benefits and ongoing usage incentives for both new and existing usersAdditional benefits such as free ATM withdrawal allowances, tiered cashback structures, and long-term reward programs integrated with the BitMart ecosystem, aligning payment activity with broader asset participation
A BitMart spokesperson said the upgrade reflects a systematic optimization based on long-term user behavior, aimed at supporting the normalization of crypto payments in everyday consumption through sustainable incentives.
Third-Party Recognition Highlights Product Competitiveness
Amid intensifying competition in the crypto payments sector, BitMart Card has also received independent third-party recognition. The card recently ranked among the top global crypto cards evaluated by CryptoCardHub, an industry review platform that assessed 86 crypto card products worldwide. The recognition reflects the card’s practical usability, accessibility, and overall value proposition in real-world payment scenarios.
According to CryptoCardHub’s assessment, BitMart Card’s performance is driven by its focus on everyday spending convenience, automatic crypto-to-fiat conversion at the point of payment, and its integration with Visa’s global merchant network. This recognition underscores BitMart’s continued efforts to advance the mainstream adoption of digital assets through functional payment infrastructure.
Payment Capabilities Emerge as a New Competitive Frontier
As crypto trading infrastructure becomes increasingly standardized, industry competition is shifting toward real-world application and payment usability. Market observers widely view the ability to deliver consistent, reliable payment experiences across regions as a key differentiator in the next phase of platform competition.
BitMart emphasized that expanding BitMart Card to 115+ countries and regions represents a critical step in integrating crypto assets into the real economy. The company said this foundation not only strengthens its position in crypto payments, but also supports future expansion into broader payment scenarios and financial services.

EverValue (EVA) has announced the launch of Burn Vault Boost on February 6. This update to its existing on-chain backing and burn framework is designed to modify how BTC backing is applied across a portion of the token supply.
The Burn Vault Boost introduces an additional on-chain vault that operates alongside EverValue’s existing Burn Vault Core. Rather than distributing BTC backing uniformly across the entire token supply, the new mechanism applies backing to a defined subset of tokens, with the aim of increasing the sensitivity of the reference burn value to BTC deposits over time.
Background: Burn Vault framework
At the core of the EverValue protocol is a system of smart contracts referred to as the Burn Vault. These contracts hold wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC) and calculate a BTC-denominated reference burn value per token based on available backing and the number of tokens eligible for redemption. This value is visible on-chain and functions as a protocol-defined reference metric rather than a traded market price.
The original Burn Vault Core continues to back the full circulating supply of EVA. According to EverValue, the Core currently holds BTC reserves generated through the project’s operational activities, including Bitcoin mining, while the token supply itself remains fixed.
Introducing the Burn Vault Boost
The Burn Vault Boost operates as a separate vault that applies BTC backing to a smaller, predefined portion of the total token supply. By changing how backing is distributed within the protocol, the Boost alters the rate at which the reference burn value for that subset adjusts when BTC is added to the vault.
EverValue states that the Boost is designed to complement the existing Burn Vault Core rather than replace it. Burns executed through the Boost reduce the overall token supply, which continues to be reflected across the broader system.
Operational characteristics
The Burn Vault Boost is implemented entirely on-chain through smart contractsBacking levels, eligible token counts, and reference burn values are publicly verifiableParticipation does not require user action beyond holding tokensThe mechanism does not alter exchange pricing or guarantee market outcomes

The Burn Vault Boost has undergone a security audit conducted by CertiK, according to EverValue.

About EverValue
EverValue is an on-chain protocol that integrates Bitcoin mining operations with a fixed-supply token model and on-chain backing and burn mechanics. The protocol maintains a BTC-denominated reference burn framework designed to provide transparency into backing dynamics, with the Burn Vault Boost representing an additional configuration layer within this system.

MEXC, the fastest-growing global cryptocurrency exchange, redefining a user-first approach to digital assets through true zero-fee trading, today reported a 65% surge in January spot trading volume of newly listed tokens, as infrastructure projects—AI agents, zero-knowledge networks, and decentralized physical systems—captured the majority of sustained capital flows.
January's 176 token listings drove spot trading volume in newly listed tokens up 65% and attracted 19% more active traders. The top performers averaged up to 2,408% peak gains. 

Solana memes still dominate headlines. PENGUIN's 17,330% rally proves cultural momentum remains undefeated. Yet beneath the noise, Ethereum is quietly building: decentralized AI frameworks, zero-knowledge infrastructure, compliant stablecoins, DePIN networks. On Base, autonomous agents like CLAWD now deploy smart contracts independently. HeyElsa lets users trade and manage assets through plain conversation.

The market is bifurcating in real time. Capital chases short-term explosions while simultaneously positioning for technological inevitability. Three narratives are converging: AI agents achieving genuine autonomy on-chain, privacy infrastructure unlocking computational breakthroughs, and decentralized physical networks bridging crypto to real-world utility.
MEXC's structured programs delivered exceptional edge. Launchpad's SKR hit 596% with over $1.1M in subscriptions. The new Trading Pool mechanism generated $346M volume while rewarding participants with 279% average APR—proof that high conviction and high returns aren't mutually exclusive.

About MEXC
Founded in 2018, MEXC is committed to being "Your Easiest Way to Crypto." Serving over 40 million users across 170+ countries, MEXC is known for its broad selection of trending tokens, everyday airdrop opportunities, and low trading fees.

Safe infrastructure processed $600B in 2025 — 43% of all-time volume — as Ethereum Foundation, Ledger, Circle, and Bitpanda adopt it.

The Safe Ecosystem Foundation, steward of the smart account protocol securing over $60 billion in digital assets, has reported more than $10 million in project-wide annualized revenue, up from approximately $2 million at the end of 2024.

The figures were disclosed by Lukas Schor, Co-founder of Safe project and President of Safe Ecosystem Foundation, in a community forum post reflecting on 2025 and outlining the project's 2026 outlook. Notably, the growth was achieved without token subsidies or incentive programs. Comparing Safe Project's self-reported revenue with public revenue figures tracked by Token Terminal would place Safe among the top 40 crypto projects globally by revenue.
"We are one of the very few token projects in the industry that shows long-term sustainable adoption and significant revenues that do not rely on token subsidies or purely speculative use-cases," Schor wrote.
While the project is not yet profitable, the milestone enables accelerated investment in growth and ecosystem initiatives without dependency on market conditions or external fundraising
2026: Token Utility and the Path to $100M
Safe outlined targets to reach break-even and double revenue in 2026, with longer-term ambitions to reach $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 2030.
Central to the 2026 roadmap is a dual approach to managing both supply and demand for SAFE tokens. On the demand side, Safe{Research} is developing a protocol that will significantly enhance the utility of the SAFE token, turning it from a mostly governance token into a full-fledged network token. The protocol is expected to be announced in 2026.
"Safe Labs, Safe Foundation, and Safe Research are aligned on delivering clear, valuable token utility that strengthens the ecosystem and aligns with Safe's core mission of secure self-custody." "The direction is clear: SAFE stops being something you hold. It becomes something the network needs. 2026 will show what this looks like in production."
The $600 Billion Year
Safe processed $600 billion in transaction volume during 2025, representing 43% of the protocol's entire lifetime volume in a single year. Users deployed 18.3 million new smart accounts, averaging one new account every 1.7 seconds, while the network handled 326 million transactions.
Activity concentrated on Layer 2 networks, with 98% of new deployments occurring outside Ethereum mainnet. Base emerged as the leading retail chain, flipping Polygon and Arbitrum. Gnosis became what Safe described as "the automation engine, where AI agents live." Ethereum remained the vault: lower volume, but securing the billions.
Institutional Convergence
The revenue milestone coincided with a wave of institutional adoption, with major players independently choosing the same infrastructure.
In October, the Ethereum Foundation completed migration of its entire treasury, over 160,000 ETH valued at approximately $650 million, to Safe. The move followed months of testing, with the Foundation citing alignment with "battle-tested, immutable, audited, permissionless protocols."
Hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger launched its enterprise multisig product built on Safe smart contracts. "We are not reinventing the wheel; we are strengthening it," Ledger stated. European exchange Bitpanda, serving nearly 7 million users, shipped a self-custodial wallet powered by Safe. Circle entered a strategic partnership for USDC treasury management, with $2.5 billion in USDC currently held across Safe accounts.
Safe Labs, the commercial subsidiary led by CEO Rahul Rumalla, also launched Safe Shield at Devconnect Buenos Aires, a security layer for enterprise users powered by Hypernative, targeting approximately 5,000 teams managing over $10 million in assets. 
Looking Ahead
Community response to the disclosure was positive. "The new integrated setup seems right for the current state of the industry and project," wrote delegate LuukDAO. "$10M in revenue is promising and a surprise," added community member adamhurwitz.eth. 
"We are fundamentally long-term builders," Schor wrote, "committed to creating enduring value."
