New funding will support Beldex’s next phase of privacy infrastructure, developer tools, AI and security research, and ecosystem growth.
Seychelles — 20 August 2026, Beldex, a privacy focused blockchain ecosystem, has raised $8 million in a new funding round to accelerate the development of its privacy infrastructure for Web3 and AI.
The round includes participation from NTC, Nxgen, Digital Consensus Fund, and EAK Ventures, led by Sigma Capital.
The funding comes as Beldex expands beyond its established privacy ecosystem toward infrastructure that developers can use to build private and confidential applications. The company plans to invest across developer tooling, confidential applications, protocol security, AI infrastructure and ecosystem adoption.
Afanddy Bin Hushni, Chairman of Beldex said, “Privacy is becoming an infrastructure requirement, not a feature that can be added at the end. This funding gives us the capacity to move faster across the layers where sensitive information is created and exchanged, including transactions, communication, network activity, identity, and increasingly AI. Our focus is to turn that stack into practical infrastructure that developers, applications, and users can adopt without compromising usability.”
Building on a Live Privacy Ecosystem
Beldex has built a suite of privacy focused products around its Layer 1 network.
The ecosystem includes the Beldex Wallet for private transactions, BChat for encrypted messaging, BelNet for decentralized private networking, Beldex Browser for private browsing and Beldex Name Service (BNS) for human readable names across wallets, messaging and private web applications.
The next phase is focused on making these privacy capabilities easier for developers to use.
Part of the new funding will support the development of the Beldex Extension Wallet, SDKs, account based addresses and other developer tools designed to simplify how applications interact with the Beldex ecosystem.
Beldex is also working on confidential assets and an EVM compatible sidechain, with the aim of giving developers familiar with Ethereum tooling an environment for building applications with privacy capabilities.
Vineet Budki, Managing Director & CEO at Sigma Capital said, “What stood out to me about Beldex is its long-term conviction. While privacy was often treated as a niche, Beldex spent years building it into the infrastructure itself. AI agents and Web3 applications demand greater privacy today, and we believe Beldex is exceptionally well positioned for the next era of Web3. That conviction is why we chose to lead this round.”
Building Privacy Infrastructure for AI
A key focus of the new funding will be privacy infrastructure for AI. As autonomous agents increasingly handle payments, credentials, communications and personal data, Beldex is exploring how its privacy stack can protect these interactions.
Key areas include privacy-preserving agent identities through BNS, encrypted AI-powered communication via BChat, confidential payments, secure AI execution, and research into Fully Homomorphic Encryption and secure memory to protect sensitive data during processing.
Expanding Interoperability and Security
The funding will also support Beldex’s work on interoperability and network security.
The Beldex network supports cross-chain connectivity with Binance Smart Chain and plans to expand interoperability with other blockchain ecosystems. Beldex is also researching a TSS and DKG based cross chain architecture designed to distribute signing authority across multiple participants while also continuing research into quantum safe technologies for transactions and messaging as part of its longer term security roadmap.
Looking Ahead
Beldex will use the new funding to move several initiatives from research and development toward usable infrastructure.
Near term priorities include the Beldex Extension Wallet, SDKs, VRF consensus, account based addresses, confidential assets and an EVM compatible sidechain testnet.
Alongside these initiatives, the team will continue research and development across AI privacy infrastructure, FHE, private smart contracts, interoperability and quantum safe technologies.
The broader goal is to make privacy easier to build across transactions, communication, identity, applications and AI.

The wallet brings self-custody, multi-chain asset control, and agentic access together for users, autonomous agents, and Web4 applications.
SEATTLE, WA - August 13, 2026 - Lithosphere, the AI-native blockchain ecosystem built for Web4 and autonomous systems, today introduced Thanos Wallet as a self-custody multi-chain agentic crypto wallet designed for a blockchain environment increasingly shared by human users and autonomous agents. Thanos brings digital asset control, wallet ownership, decentralized application access, and multi-chain usability into a product category built around agentic participation rather than treating machine-driven activity as an add-on to a conventional wallet.
The product is positioned as a Web4 access layer where users can retain direct control of their assets while agentic applications and autonomous agents gain a wallet model suited to programmable interaction across decentralized environments. That distinction moves Thanos beyond basic storage and transaction signing. Its niche is the intersection of self-custody, multi-chain crypto access, and agentic infrastructure, creating a common wallet layer for people and software agents that need to interact with digital assets and onchain services across more than one network.
“The next phase of crypto infrastructure has to account for both human ownership and autonomous participation,” said J. King Kasr, Chief Scientist at KaJ Labs. “Thanos is built for that shift. It keeps self-custody at the center while extending wallet infrastructure toward multi-chain Web4 activity, autonomous agents, and agentic applications that need a dependable way to interact with decentralized systems.”
The Thanos rollout also strengthens Lithosphere’s user and agent access layer during the current LITHO Pre-TGE phase. By establishing a dedicated self-custody wallet before broader token and network participation, Lithosphere is connecting its agentic infrastructure strategy with a practical entry point for Web4 users, developers, autonomous agents, and applications preparing to operate across the ecosystem.

Managing token supply and building community trust usually comes down to one simple goal: showing commitment. Token locks are the infrastructure that makes that commitment verifiable, transparent, and automated. But not all locks work the same way. Streamflow supports three distinct lock types, each designed for different project needs and risk profiles.
The Three Lock Types That Secure Token Operations
When a project talks about locking tokens, they usually mean one of three mechanisms. Each solves a different problem and fits different parts of token operations.
Time Based Locks: Predictable, Simple, Auditable
The most straightforward lock type is time based. You set a date, lock tokens until that date arrives, and when the date passes, tokens unlock automatically. A team might time-lock tokens for six months, a year, or longer. Investors appreciate time-based locks because the rule is clear: the market knows exactly when supply changes happen.
Time-based locks are popular for team allocations, treasury funds, and liquidity provision. They reduce the risk of surprise supply shocks and make token release schedules transparent to anyone monitoring the blockchain. The simplicity also means fewer edge cases and easier community communication. No ambiguity about what triggers the unlock.
Price Based Locks: Dynamic Conditions for Market Reality
Price-based locks introduce a second variable: market performance. Instead of a fixed date, tokens unlock when a price target is hit or a performance metric is met. For example, a project might lock LP tokens until the token reaches a certain price, or lock team tokens with a condition that says unlock only if the market cap stays above a floor.
Price-based locks align incentives differently than time locks. They tie token availability to project success, not just calendar dates. This creates a shared risk profile: if the project struggles and the price target is not hit, tokens stay locked longer. It is a stronger signal of founder conviction and community alignment.
Liquidity Locks: Specialized Protection for Pool Safety
Liquidity locks are specifically designed for LP tokens. A project launches with a Raydium or Orca pool, deposits the liquidity, and locks the LP tokens to prove to the community that liquidity cannot be withdrawn. This prevents rug pulls and sudden liquidity removal that would damage the trading experience.
Liquidity locks typically combine time-based restrictions with transparency dashboards. The community can see on-chain that LP tokens are locked, for how long, and has proof that the team cannot suddenly drain liquidity. This type of lock has become table stakes for any serious Solana launch.
NFT Locks: Securing Digital Assets Beyond Tokens
NFT locks extend the same transparent, on-chain protection to digital collectibles and NFT collections. A project might lock founder NFTs, reserve a collection for future drops or lock partnership NFTs as proof of commitment. NFT locks work on the same principles as token locks: time based release, price based conditions, or locked indefinitely for permanent commitment. For projects building collections or using NFTs as governance or access tokens, Streamflow NFT locking provides the same audit trail and community proof that token locks deliver. The on-chain verification is identical: anyone can see what is locked, for how long, and confirm that the NFT assets cannot be moved until conditions are met.
How These Locks Work Together in Real Operations
Most projects do not use just one lock type. A typical structure might look like this: liquidity is locked with a time-based lock to prevent immediate withdrawal. Team tokens use a price-based lock so long-term incentives align with market performance. Treasury funds use a time-based lock to ensure predictable capital deployment.
The key insight is that each lock type serves a different stakeholder group. Investors want to see founder and team tokens locked. Traders want to see liquidity protected. Communities want to understand future supply dilution. Streamflow is a multi-lock model that lets projects address all three concerns simultaneously on a single platform.
Why Lock Type Matters: Trust Through Transparency
The choice of lock type signals something about a project is confidence and priorities. A project comfortable with long time-based locks demonstrates patience and long-term thinking. A project using price-based locks shows it believes in its own success metric. Liquidity locks are now expected, not optional.
All of Streamflow's lock types are backed by audited smart contracts. The on-chain proof is permanent and verifiable. Once a lock is created, anyone can inspect it, check the unlock conditions, and confirm that the project has skin in the game.
Beyond Token Locks: The Full Ecosystem
Token locks are one piece of comprehensive token operations. Streamflow positions locking as part of a broader infrastructure toolkit that includes vesting, staking, airdrops, and payouts.
Vesting complements locks by handling gradual release schedules. While locks are binary (locked until condition met, then fully unlocked), vesting is progressive. A typical setup might pair a time-based lock with a cliff and linear vesting schedule for team members. The lock provides an initial guarantee period. The vesting provides structured compensation over time.
Staking layers yield on top of locks. Many projects lock staking rewards while keeping principal locked. Staking through Streamflow takes minutes to set up and can be customized for any SPL token. Locked tokens can earn rewards simultaneously, giving stakeholders passive income while commitment is maintained.
Airdrops coordinate with locks to manage community distribution. A project might lock team and treasury allocations while running a public airdrop for the community. The contrast is intentional: locked allocations show founder commitment while airdrops reward early adopters. Streamflow handles both, so the narrative stays consistent.
Payouts automate recurring payments within the lock framework. Treasury payouts, contributor payments, and vendor settlements can all run as automated streams on Streamflow. These streams respect lock conditions, so treasury operations stay predictable even as locks approach their release dates.
The Operational Case for All in One Infrastructure
The reason teams choose Streamflow is not just the lock technology itself. It is the ability to run vesting, locks, staking, airdrops, and payouts from a single platform without integrating five different vendors. The data stays consistent. The workflows do not conflict. Community messaging is clearer when everything runs on the same infrastructure.
For projects launching on Solana, the typical workflow is: set up time-based or liquidity locks for launch day credibility, pair that with a vesting schedule for team and investor allocations, configure staking rewards for the community, run an airdrop for early adopters, and set up automated treasury payouts. All of this can be managed from one dashboard instead of a spreadsheet and multiple tools.
Token Locks in the Broader Context of Crypto Maturity
Token locking was once considered optional. Now it is expected. The market has moved toward preferring projects that demonstrate commitment through transparent, verifiable, on-chain locks. This shift reflects broader maturity in how crypto projects are evaluated.
For a new project, implementing proper token locks is one of the highest ROI credibility moves. It costs almost nothing to set up but signals professionalism, long-term thinking, and respect for community risk. When lock conditions are combined with clear communication and consistent project execution, the foundation for sustainable growth is in place.
