Hello everyone!
We have just published a research paper that measures the real controlling factors of LLM inference inside ICP containers. In it, forward propagation runs entirely under the consensus mechanism rather than through off-chain workers, oracles, or proof systems.
Paper: On-Chain LLM Inference Based on Instruction Budget: Instruction Budget Cost Model, Triple-Lower-Bound Evidence, and Session Costs

To be honest, when I first received a collaboration invitation from the Wanxiang Blockchain Lab three years ago, my first reaction was: did they send it to the wrong person?
After all, back then, the IC Chinese community was still just a little nobody tucked away in the corner—quietly translating technical documents and occasionally chatting with everyone in the group about consensus mechanisms. And Shanghai Blockchain International Week? That was a “veteran” event that’s been running since 2015—every autumn it takes place in Shanghai, drawing more than 2,000 people from around the world, swarming in—developers carrying their laptop bags, investors clutching their business card holders, and entrepreneurs with that gleam in their eyes: “My project will change the world.” With an event of this caliber, they wanted to collaborate with me?

To be honest, at first I also wasn’t very clear about what zCloak is actually for.
It sounds like a privacy-focused blockchain project, right? Or like an AI one? And it’s deeply connected to Singapore too? Every time I read their official WeChat account, I feel like I’m following a drama with a very slow pace but lots of foreshadowing—episode by episode you think you’ve figured it out, and then in the next episode a whole new concept pops up.
But when I lined up these ten articles in chronological order, I suddenly realized—right from the beginning, they already knew what they were going to do. It’s just that the scope is so big that they needed to explain it slowly across ten articles.
So I整理了 these ten pieces and gave you a one-sentence summary of the core content for each. You don’t need to read all ten—just pick the parts that interest you and jump in.

On April 13, we reported that Liquidium’s active borrowing volume reached $100,000.
At the time, this meant that using Bitcoin as collateral on Liquidium, users actively borrowed $100,000 worth of USDT, bringing the total value locked by the entire protocol to nearly $1 million.
Today, July 27, Liquidium’s active borrowing volume has surpassed $1 million.
This means it grew by about 10x within 105 days. This number is important because it shows what changed between these two points in time.
Users continuously borrow and lenders continuously provide funds. With the launch of new collateral and a stablecoin market, the application becomes easier to use. The SDK has evolved from the conceptual stage into a real construction infrastructure. OISY wallet users can now directly access Liquidium-supported lending services from within the wallet.

The second quarter of 2026 is a busy one for ORIGYN. The team published new articles, attended two major industry events, and launched a new tool. OGY has not only gained recognition within the community, but also earned praise from outside the company. Below is the sequence of events, arranged in chronological order.
What does the ORIGYN Foundation do
This quarter begins with an article explaining the role of the ORIGYN Foundation. It clarifies the Foundation’s scope of responsibilities and how it fits into ORIGYN’s decision-making process, with the aim of providing clear answers to people rather than vague statements.

Friends, it’s that time again—weekly AI major events: “gossip + roasting.” I went through this stack of daily reports and it feels like the tech industry’s mental state this week is pretty worrying—more restless than I was before I clocked out on Friday. Come on, let’s pick a few items to put on the table.
1. OpenAI: “Saving lives” while “killing” them
OpenAI has been thoroughly split down the middle this week.
The good news is that they launched ChatGPT Health, which can connect to your Apple Health data and give you some “personalized health insights.” Sounds great, right? From now on, when you stay up late scrolling on your phone, the AI might gently say, “Hey, your heart rate is already almost keeping up with my reasoning speed—take a break, okay?”

OISY wallet users can now access the Liquidium lending and borrowing market directly from inside the wallet.
Users can provide supported collateral through the same interface, borrow stablecoins, receive borrowed funds at their OISY address, and monitor their positions.
During the initial phase of launch, OISY does not yet offer ICP lending and borrowing functionality, but plans to roll it out soon. Users should check Liquidium’s live market to confirm which asset types are currently available.
How to use Liquidium to get a loan in your OISY wallet
The OISY wallet now offers users a way to access the Liquidium lending and borrowing market directly from within the wallet.

Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for some tech news that’s “serious” yet also a bit “not so serious”? Today’s main character is—zCloak. Don’t be fooled by the name; it isn’t some spy gadget. Instead, it’s a hard-hitting player dedicated to helping you don an “Iron Privacy Shirt” in the AI era.
If the AI era makes you both excited and a little uneasy—like your little secrets are suddenly on display in front of AI as if you were standing there without clothes—then zCloak is here to give you a “one-click outfit.” Recently, zCloak made a big splash: it has upgraded everything from the inside out. You could say it has evolved from a “privacy-protection hero” into an “AI-economy trust gatekeeper.”
