Buck today announced a major update to its core yield-bearing token, increasing its annual yield to 10% and introducing a series of upgrades designed to simplify the holding experience for users. The changes will go live on February 12th and apply to the existing token, not a newly issued asset.

The update increases Buck’s yield from 7% to 10%, positioning it among the highest-yielding options in the decentralized finance market. In addition, Buck has removed its prior claim reward mechanism requirement, replacing it with automatic rewards distributed directly to the holder’s wallet. 

“This is a monumental step forward for the Buck ecosystem,” said Travis VanderZanden, CEO of Buck Labs. “The 10% yield and automatic yield distribution are not just features, they are a commitment to our holders’ future financial freedom. We’re aggressively positioning Buck to be the leader of the new SavingsCoin category, providing an unmatched value proposition that redefines digital asset holding.”

Previously, token holders were required to manually claim their yield through the app.  With this update, all holders receive rewards automatically, removing friction and reducing the operational complexity often associated with yield-generating tokens. The new structure is designed to make passive income more accessible without requiring active management The changes come as competition within decentralized finance continues to intensify, with users increasingly prioritizing sustainable yield models and straightforward user experiences. Buck’s latest update reflects a broader industry shift toward simplifying onchain financial products, increased yield, while maintaining transparent and predictable mechanics.

The upgraded token and its features will be available starting Feb 12. Additional details on the updated yield mechanics and token structure are available on Buck’s website.

WaaP is the evolution of Wallet-as-a-Service, and it’s now available on Sui. Devs can now easily onboard users without seed phrases, no backend lock-in, and cryptographic guarantees powered by Ika.

Today, human.tech, the leading privacy-first infrastructure suite, announces the integration of Wallet-as-a-Protocol (WaaP) onto Sui, a high-performance blockchain delivering the full stack for a new global economy. WaaP gives Sui developers a new tool to expand user onboarding to one of crypto’s most exciting L1s as its first fully decentralized wallet execution layer.

WaaP enables developers to embed self-custodial wallets directly into applications using familiar login methods, such as email, phone, Google, or Face ID, while providing cryptographic guarantees that no third party can access user funds. Unlike traditional Wallet-as-a-Service providers, WaaP operates as a protocol infrastructure that is free for developers to use without vendor lock-in. 

The Problem WaaP Solves

Embedded wallets have become essential for onboarding mainstream users to crypto applications. However, most solutions create hidden tradeoffs: developers inherit weak security models, users lose true ownership, and applications become dependent on vendor infrastructure that can change terms, raise prices, or shut down.

WaaP eliminates these tradeoffs. The protocol runs on Ika, a censorship-resistant coordination layer built on Sui, where transaction policies are enforced by smart contracts rather than server logic. This architecture delivers the UX of managed wallets with the security properties of hardware wallets.

The result: users get seedless, social login wallets. Developers get embeddable infrastructure with no custody liability. WaaP funnels the demand for truly secure self-custody and easy onboarding into demand for Sui blockspace, catalyzing a network-effect flywheel.

WaaP uses two-party computation to split signing authority between the user's device and WaaPs infrastructure. Neither party can move funds alone. Policy controls, such as spend limits, contract allowlists, or approval thresholds, are enforced cryptographically on the Sui network during signing, no longer requiring a backend service.

Real Adoption, Real Ecosystems

human.tech's infrastructure already serves nearly 3 million verified users across its ecosystem, with over 43 million credentials issued and more than $500 million in protected value. The integration brings this proven infrastructure to Sui's ecosystem, ranked in the top 15 chains by total value locked and the top 8 by DEX volume..

“Sui developers can now offer seamless, seedless self-custody without taking on the risks of traditional wallet services,” said Shady El Damaty, Holonym Foundation CEO. "With Ika's decentralized security layer native to Sui, there's no tradeoff between user experience and true ownership. This is what embedded wallets should have been from the start."

Looking Ahead

WaaP on Sui sets the foundation for next-generation wallet capabilities, including programmable accounts and delegated execution for automated workflows. As AI agents increasingly operate on-chain, the same architecture that protects users today will enable safe, scoped delegation tomorrow—agents that act within defined boundaries while humans retain ultimate authority.

“Using an embedded wallet shouldn’t require giving up ownership,” said Evan Cheng, Co-Founder and CEO of Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui. “With WaaP built on Ika and native to Sui, developers and users both get a brand new way to access Sui. This is a win for the ecosystem.” 

WaaP is available now for Sui developers. Documentation and integration guides are available at docs.waap.xyz.

Tel Aviv, Israel, February 12th, 2026, Chainwire

Playnance has expanded Be The Boss, its global partner program, through PlayW3, the Web3 social gaming platform built and operated by Playnance. The program enables individuals to launch a fully branded, fully operational Social Casino platform within minutes, with no technical setup or onboarding required. For a symbolic $1 entry, partners receive a live platform under a unique subdomain, capable of generating daily on-chain earnings and payouts through PlayW3’s infrastructure, operating on a 50/50 revshare model which is among the highest in the industry, with daily automated on-chain payments sent directly to partners’ wallets.

More broadly, the $1 entry point reflects a growing shift in the digital economy, where platform infrastructure and distribution are no longer reserved for those with significant capital, technical resources, or development teams. Instead, digital business ownership becomes immediate, operational, and globally accessible from day one.

Unlike affiliate or referral-based models, Be The Boss provides real platform ownership rather than traffic monetization alone. Each partner, referred to as a “Boss,” operates a complete Social Casino experience powered end-to-end by Playnance’s proprietary blockchain infrastructure. Once activated, platforms go live immediately, allowing partners to focus on community growth, engagement, and distribution.

Each Boss platform also acts as a decentralized distribution node for the PlayW3 ecosystem, introducing new communities, audiences, and localized user bases into the network. As more Bosses launch and grow their platforms, the ecosystem expands organically through community-led reach rather than centralized marketing alone.

Each platform includes access to over 10,000 on-chain social casino games, alongside social prediction markets, sports-based social events, crash-style games, interactive financial markets, cash tournaments, jackpots, and built-in bonuses and retention mechanics. All technology, player support, on-chain settlement, and payouts are handled directly by Playnance via PlayW3, ensuring transparency and operational simplicity.

The Be The Boss program is already live and operating globally, with more than 2000 partners already joined and actively running platforms, and over $1.9 million paid out to Bosses to date. A $250 million partner pool has been allocated to support long-term earnings as the network expands, with each new platform strengthening network-wide reach and engagement.

Pini Peter, CEO of Playnance, said: “We believe access to digital opportunity should not be limited by capital or technical barriers. Be The Boss was built to make platform ownership accessible and practical, allowing creators and communities to operate real digital businesses from day one. What’s important is that this model is already live, operating at scale, and driven by engagement rather than hype.”

At the core of the ecosystem is G Coin, the utility token powering platform activity, rewards, and daily on-chain earnings distribution. As more Boss platforms go live and onboard new communities, activity across PlayW3 increases — driving greater usage of G Coin across gameplay, participation mechanics, and rewards. This creates a compounding economic loop where partner growth expands distribution, increased user activity drives token demand through real usage, and token-powered rewards further reinforce engagement across the network.

About Playnance

Playnance is a Web3 infrastructure and consumer platform company founded in 2020. The company develops and operates live, non-custodial, on-chain platforms designed to enable mainstream users to interact with blockchain systems through familiar Web2 experiences. Playnance focuses on reducing friction between user behavior and on-chain execution by operating consumer products at scale.

Human API has exited stealth and unveiled its solution for streamlining human-agent coordination. The first-of-its-kind platform enables AI agents to designate tasks directly to humans for efficient project management.

Developed by Eclipse, the team behind the fastest Ethereum L2 powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), Human API supplies the core infrastructure that enables AI agents to coordinate with humans directly. In doing so it solves the “last mile” challenge whereby agents are unable to undertake real-world interactions. 

To complete economically useful tasks, agents must rely on human contributions such as judgment and work that requires physical presence. Human API effectively bridges this gap, allowing agents and humans to collaborate and extending the capabilities of what can be achieved with AI.

The Human API platform functions as an agent-native coordination and execution layer. After creating an account, human contributors can browse tasks, accept assignments, and complete prompted work such as audio recordings. Submissions move through a review process and approved work is paid out via Stripe Connect. For AI agents and companies, this creates a direct, programmatic pathway to high-quality, human-generated data at scale.

As AI agents grow more capable, they increasingly encounter tasks that are trivial for humans but difficult or uneconomical for machines. These include high-context work such as interpreting spoken language or capturing nuanced audio. Human API addresses this by supporting an agent-native workflow where AI agents can request human input directly, rather than operating through systems designed exclusively for human users or centralized vendors.

While in stealth mode, Human API contributed to a studio-quality audio dataset for a leading frontier AI lab, demonstrating the platform’s ability to produce high-fidelity speech data incorporating subtle accents and linguistic nuance. While Human API’s initial business model will focus on licensing audio data to AI labs, the platform will expand into additional data types and task categories, including computer-usage data and work that requires real-world execution such as logistics.

The platform has raised $65 million to date from investors including Placeholder, Hack, Polychain, DBA, and Delphi Ventures. The funding supports Human API’s broader mission to migrate from human-centric systems that treat AI agents as second-class participants toward an agent-native environment where humans are integrated as economically rewarded collaborators.

Through formalizing how agents and humans work together, Human API will provide a core input in AI development. In doing so, it creates a new marketplace where human skills that remain difficult to automate can be monetized globally while giving AI companies access to the high-quality data they need to thrive.

About Human API

Human API is the first platform built for AI agents to coordinate directly with humans. Designed with an agent-native, agent-first request-for-data flow, Human API enables agents to source high-quality human input at scale, while allowing contributors around the world to earn fast payouts for tasks that are easy for humans but challenging for AI.

Over 100 million users can now fund their TON Wallet using crypto from the most popular blockchains – no additional bridges, swaps or manual conversions required.

Wallet in Telegram today announced the launch of cross-chain deposits in its self-custodial TON Wallet, enabling users to fund their wallets with crypto from the most popular blockchains. Powered by MoonPay, the integration manages cross-chain transfers behind the scenes, ensuring a smooth deposit experience in TON Wallet.

With this launch, more than 100 million users can transfer their stablecoins from other chains to TON without friction or losing value. TON Wallet users can now deposit USDC or USDT from Ethereum, Solana, TRON, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Base – converted at a 1:1 rate to USDT (TON) – directly in Wallet in Telegram. This removes the need to already hold TON-native assets, opening the ecosystem to users across the broader crypto landscape. As part of the integration, users will soon be able to withdraw USDT on TON to USDT or USDC on popular blockchains with a fee and deposit BTC, ETH, and SOL, which are automatically converted into Toncoin.

This Launch Introduces the Following Functionality

Stablecoin deposits from leading blockchains, allowing users to deposit USDC or USDT with automatic 1:1 conversion into USDT (TON)

Stablecoin withdrawals from USDT (TON) to USDT or USDC on other major blockchains, processed at a 1:1 rate, subject to applicable network and service fees. Will be available soon.

Crypto deposits from BTC, ETH, and SOL, which are automatically converted into Toncoin upon arrival in TON Wallet

Removing Barriers to Web3 Adoption on Telegram

Funding a self-custodial wallet has traditionally been a complex, multi-step process. Through its collaboration with MoonPay, Wallet in Telegram removes this friction by introducing a single, seamless deposit flow that works across blockchains and assets. As a result, cross-chain transfers are now as simple as custodial ones, significantly streamlining onboarding into TON Ecosystem – while preserving value by minimizing unnecessary conversion losses and fees.

“One of the biggest challenges in crypto adoption is the first step – getting users funded and ready to participate. Until now, using TON Wallet meant already having assets on TON, which created unnecessary friction and limited access to the broader ecosystem. Now, we’re removing that barrier entirely. Users can bring their funds directly into TON Wallet from other networks, without unnecessary conversions, exchanges or lock-ins,” said Andrew Rogozov, Founder and CEO of The Open Platform and Wallet in Telegram. “Our goal is simple: make entering, and exiting, TON ecosystem as seamless as using a custodial wallet, while preserving the freedom and control of self-custody.”

Powered by MoonPay Deposits and built on MoonPay’s infrastructure, the solution supports the end-to-end flow, from deposit detection to final asset delivery, and is integrated natively into partner environments

“Users shouldn’t have to buy new assets or navigate complex steps just to fund an account,” said Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO of MoonPay. “We simplify the process by letting people use the crypto they already have while we handle the technicalities behind the scenes, making it easier to move value across the ecosystem and access a broader range of applications.”

Funding a TON Wallet now takes just a few steps

The Deposit section includes two options: Stablecoins (for 1:1 stablecoin deposits) and Other Crypto (for converting BTC, ETH, or SOL to TON).

After selecting the token and the originating network, a deposit address is generated automatically.

The deposit address can be copied or accessed via QR code.

This address is entered on the withdrawal page of the external wallet or exchange.

The transfer amount must meet the minimum deposit requirement.

Once the details are verified, the transfer is confirmed on the sending platform.

Funds arrive in the user’s selected asset, fully compatible with TON ecosystem and Telegram’s growing network of decentralized applications.

Built for Scale, Native to Telegram

The new deposit experience is available exclusively in the self-custodial TON Wallet, part of Wallet in Telegram’s dual-wallet setup, and is fully integrated into the Telegram interface. By abstracting away cross-chain complexity, Wallet in Telegram makes it easier for users to participate in DeFi, gaming, payments, and on-chain apps – without needing deep crypto expertise.

This launch marks a major step toward making Telegram the most accessible Web3 gateway in the world, combining mass-market distribution with self-custody and open blockchain infrastructure.

About Wallet in Telegram

Wallet in Telegram is a digital asset solution natively embedded into Telegram’s interface. Backed by The Open Platform, Wallet in Telegram has gained 150M+ registered users to date and continues to grow. The company offers a dual-wallet experience with Crypto Wallet (a multi-chain wallet for trading and sending crypto to contacts) and TON Wallet (a self-custodial wallet with access to TON ecosystem of apps and TON-based digital assets).

Ault Capital Group today announced the public testnet launch of Ault Blockchain, a Layer 1 network designed for trading, settlement, and institutional-grade onchain infrastructure. This launch marks the first public release of the protocol and opens access to developers, infrastructure operators, and early network participants.

Ault Blockchain is built as a Cosmos-based Layer 1 with full Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility, enabling Ethereum-native smart contracts and tooling to run without modification. The network is governed by Ault DAO, which oversees protocol rules, economic parameters, and long-term upgrades through onchain governance.

The public testnet provides a live environment for evaluating core network functionality, validator performance, and infrastructure design. This early access seeks community engagement and feedback by contributors who add value to the network's development and stability. 

In contrast to typical launch models, Ault Blockchain will not conduct a public token sale. Instead, the native AULT token will be distributed exclusively through a protocol-controlled emissions schedule tied to measurable network participation, including consensus security and licensed infrastructure operations rather than speculative activity.

Milton “Todd” Ault III, founder and executive chairman of Ault Capital Group, said: “Ault Blockchain was built the opposite way most networks are built. We started with real financial use cases and then designed the blockchain to support them. Participation is based on defined roles and verifiable work, not speculation, with transparent economics that are meant to support long-term network health from day one.”

The network launch is supported by a group of established infrastructure and development partners. B-Harvest serves as Ault Blockchain’s primary development partner, contributing to protocol engineering and core network architecture. Xangle focuses on development of Ault’s official explorers and relevant hubs.QuickNode provides RPC infrastructure to support network access and reliability. Finally Protofire supports Safe-related tooling across EVM environments. 

Ault Blockchain introduces a licensed participation framework for infrastructure operators. Licensed Mining Nodes are authorized to perform defined off-chain services, beginning with cryptographic randomness at launch. In parallel, Proof-of-Stake validators and delegators secure network consensus and collect transaction fees under transparent, DAO-governed economics. After launch, the core team will shift its focus to the core team’s roadmap including spot trading on decentralized exchanges, lending services, perps trading, and other advanced workloads are being explored and may deploy over time as the network evolves. 

Ault Blockchain’s testnet launch follows the completion of an initial protocol security audit and precedes further validator onboarding and ecosystem testing. Ault Blockchain’s mainnet launch will occur after additional testing milestones are met. At genesis, the chain will launch with its core protocol modules, EVM compatibility, an initial validator set, and onchain governance in place, marking a new era for institutional finance.

To learn more about Ault Blockchain, visit https://Aultblockchain.com and read project documentation to view the testnet scanner go to the following link . https://ault-evm-testnet.explorer.xangle.io/home

Gibraltar, British Overseas Territories, February 11th, 2026, Chainwire

Aurora Labs has announced the release of the Intents Widget, a new integration layer designed to make NEAR Intents easily accessible inside third-party applications. Alongside the widget, Aurora Labs is introducing Intents Widget Studio, a browser-based configurator that allows teams to set up and deploy the widget, providing a plug-and-play experience for developers.

NEAR Intents is already used in production by wallets and trading applications, processing approximately $2.5 billion in monthly volume. Until now, integrating Intents directly into an application required bespoke frontend and backend work. The Intents Widget addresses this gap by providing a ready-made UI and configuration layer that abstracts routing, wallet flows, and cross-chain execution.

With the Intents Widget, applications can allow users to connect their wallet and fund actions from any supported chain or token in a single flow, without relying on manual bridges or multi-step swap processes. The widget uses the same NEAR Intents infrastructure currently operating at scale, while significantly reducing integration time for builders.

The accompanying Intents Widget Studio enables non-technical users to configure the widget directly in the browser. Teams can select supported chains and assets, define default routes, customize the interface, add partner fees, and generate production-ready embed code. Developers can then complete the integration using API keys or opt for API-only flows for advanced customization.

For teams that require deeper control, Aurora Labs has released full technical documentation covering API-level integrations, custom routing, execution logic, and post-swap workflows. This allows projects to start with the widget and progressively move toward more tailored implementations as needed.

The Intents Widget is designed to support a range of production use cases, including:

Universal Top-Up flows for wallets, allowing users to fund balances across chains without leaving the app

Frictionless Onboarding for trading and derivatives platforms, enabling instant cross-chain collateral funding

Rather than introducing a new bridge, wallet, or trading venue, the Intents Widget positions NEAR Intents as a neutral execution and liquidity access layer that can be embedded across ecosystems. By lowering the barrier to adoption, Aurora Labs aims to encourage broader use of intent-based execution while reducing user friction at the moment of funding.

In addition, Aurora Labs has released a Claude Code skill to help developers get started with the Intents Swap Widget in a minute. With the Claude skill, teams can install, set up, and configure the intents widget. This further reduces integration friction and accelerates time to production for builders adopting NEAR Intents.

The Intents Widget and Widget Studio are now available at https://intents.aurora.dev, with documentation accessible at https://aurora-labs.gitbook.io/intents-swap-widget/.

About Aurora

Aurora Protocol is the underlying technology that empowers builders to launch, scale, and go multichain. With its infrastructure, builders can deploy their EVM-compatible blockchains on NEAR Protocol, gaining instant scalability, speed, and security without the heavy infrastructure overhead. The protocol is governed by Aurora DAO, responsible for the $AURORA utility token, the body responsible for voting on key strategic proposals, treasury allocation, and future protocol upgrades. Aurora Labs is the development company that builds, maintains and updates the Aurora Protocol, implementing the decisions made by the DAO.

Abu Dhabi, UAE, February 10th, 2026, Chainwire

As trade, employment, and digital payment flows continue to accelerate, OSN, a global on-chain FX settlement infrastructure provider, today announced the activation of its Philippines payment corridor, delivering enterprise-grade access to the conversion of fiat to stablecoin FX settlement for businesses operating across emerging and major financial markets. The new corridor offers transaction fees of up to 50% lower than those of leading payment platforms.

With this launch, OSN strengthens its position as a cross-market liquidity bridge, connecting the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America to the Philippine financial system in a compliant manner without the cost and latency of legacy correspondent banking. The corridor enables seamless bi-directional fund flows between any forms of stablecoins and fiat currencies, including but not limited to USD, AED, EUR, PHP, serving businesses with payment flows originating from the UAE, Asia, the United States, Argentina and Mexico.

“High-volume corridors like UAE–Philippines are where modern payment rails deliver the greatest impact,” said Lawrence Chu, Co-Founder of OSN. “OSN focuses on building infrastructure that helps businesses scale confidently across these markets.”

The UAE employs close to 900,000 Filipinos across skilled and professional sectors, including information technology and business process management (IT & BPM), healthcare, construction, tourism, retail, and education. This scale of employment drives recurring cross-border flows, from enterprise payroll and contractor payments to services exports and supplier settlements, creating sustained demand for reliable, high-volume PHP liquidity originating from the Middle East.

The launch is further supported by the Philippines–UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which is expected to expand bilateral trade and services activity and deepen long-term payment volumes between the two markets. Faster settlement and materially lower FX costs directly improve operating margins for businesses moving funds into the Philippines.

Abdulla Al Dhaheri, CEO of The Blockchain Center Abu Dhabi, also expressed strong support for this blockchain-based settlement initiative, “as trade, employment, and services flows between the UAE and the Philippines continue to expand, blockchain-enabled payment infrastructure can play a vital role in improving efficiency, transparency, and settlement speed.

Napa Valley, California, February 9th, 2026, Chainwire

Hosted by H2H, Affinidi, LF Decentralized Trust and the Advanced AI Society, the Summit focuses on technologies that assure humans remain in control of AI

Amid growing predictions about our lives and businesses being managed by autonomous AI agents, a timely convening of leaders who are building and using these technologies aims to ensure they remain accountable to provably human authority.

Anyone responsible for deploying AI agents, authorizing their use, shaping the rules they operate under, or considering the mounting compliance and legal risks associated with them should attend Human-Authorized: The Summit on Human Agency in Napa Valley, California on February 23, 2026.

In exploring and experimenting with cutting-edge trust and identity solutions that give people and businesses access control over their data under privacy-preserving conditions, attendees will discover how enterprises, boards, regulators, and individuals can take steps to ensure safe deployment of AI tools. They’ll discuss how to address vital questions that must be answered before allowing AI agents to move money, access sensitive data, coordinate work, and make decisions:

How can we distinguish between machines and people online?

Who or what does an agent represent?

What is that agent authorized to do?

Who is accountable for its actions?

Hosted by H2H and its event partners – Affinidi, Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust and the Advanced AI Society – Human-Authorized: The Summit on Human Agency is grounded in a shared conviction among its hosts: that agentic AI will only scale responsibly if human intent, authority, and accountability are embedded directly into how autonomous systems operate. This requires a new privacy-prioritized trust infrastructure that allows people and organizations to delegate power to AI agents without surrendering control.

“The great leaps in innovation promised by agentic AI will never be realized if we can’t trust that our AI agents are truly operating on our behalf and that we have full, provable authority over their workflows and our data. We need a human anchor for agent delegation that’s based on safe, reliable proofs of personhood and on verified trust relationships with other people and organizations,” said Michael Casey, cofounder of H2H and Chair of the Advanced AI Society. “We’re honored to be working with the smartest minds solving this problem and are excited to explore, discuss and showcase their solutions at this unique event.”

Exposed to a top-notch lineup of speakers, summit attendees will learn how this approach’s benefits extend far beyond mitigating security risks as it gives rise to a new “intention economy” in which people and businesses can unlock AI’s immense potential with their data, under their control, on their terms.

The Summit will showcase a prototype “H2H Connect” event app, built by Affinidi under a framework developed by the First Person Project, which is founded on technologies and standards openly developed under LF Decentralized Trust. With the app in hand, attendees will be encouraged to experiment with new, privacy-preserving approaches to managing the professional relationships they forge at the event.

"This summit's timing is critical," said Glenn Gore, CEO of Affinidi. “Individuals and every major enterprise are deploying agentic AI, but securing and maintaining privacy hasn't kept pace.

That's why this collaboration with H2H, LF Decentralized Trust, and the Advanced AI Society matters. As the technology provider, we're excited to demonstrate what’s possible. The H2H Connect app shows the breadth of this opportunity: people connecting securely without platform intermediaries, verifying identities without surveillance, and maintaining control over their data as it travels with them. When that same infrastructure extends to AI agents, granting them delegated authority, we can verify and trust that we can audit them, unlocking an entirely new AI economy. Enterprises innovate confidently. Individuals retain control. Developers build without creating new vulnerabilities. AI stops being a trade-off between capability and accountability; it becomes an accelerant for both. That's the internet of trust we're building toward.”

The one-day, invite-only event will occur right before the annual Linux Foundation Member Summit, at a moment when industry attention is focused on interoperability standards for agentic AI, including the work underway by the Agentic AI Foundation, a new Linux Foundation project spearheaded by the AI industry.

“As AI agents become autonomous, open source and open standards are critical if identity, delegation, and accountability are to be transparent, auditable, and interoperable,” said Daniela Barbosa, General Manager of Decentralized Technologies at the Linux Foundation and Executive Director of LF Decentralized Trust. “With its neutral governance, open codebases, and a global ecosystem, the LF Decentralized Trust community and technologies are contributing vital decentralized trust infrastructures that give enterprises and regulators confidence in the age of AI. This event spotlights the challenges and opportunities and will serve as a catalyst for innovation and adoption of critical foundations for responsible agentic AI.”

Attendees drawn from the fields of AI, finance, enterprise data, open-source standards and digital identity will hear from a lineup of leading thinkers in identity, AI and digital society that includes:

Bestselling author Clay Shirky

Linux Foundation executive director Jim Zemlin

Privacy expert Michelle Dennedy

Author, comedian, host of “Life with Machines” podcast Baratunde Thurston

Blockchain inventor Scott Stornetta

Yubico founder and SIROS Chair Stina Ehrensvard

Affinidi CEO and former AWS Chief Architect Glenn Gore

Lawyer and digital rights advocate Wendy Seltzer

Erik Reppel, the author of Coinbase’s x402 payments protocol.

Investing Yachts today introduced its real-world asset (RWA) yacht charter model, a blockchain-based approach designed to tokenize exposure to potential double-digit revenue generated by luxury yacht charter operations via their upcoming $YATE token. Being their ultimate goal to democratize access to all private equity sectors.

Positioning itself at the intersection of yachting and on-chain finance, Investing Yachts is built to remove traditional barriers associated with yacht investing—such as high minimum capital requirements, illiquidity, and operational complexity—by offering a token-based structure intended to be tradable on markets and supported by a managed charter fleet.

How the model is designed to work

At the core of the Investing Yachts model, the $YATE ecosystem connects charter activity to tokenholder incentives through a rules-based framework:

Charter profit distribution: Up to 65% of annual net charter profits is intended to be distributed to tokenholders who lock $YATE into protocol “vaults,” with different lock periods associated with different maximum shares of the profit pool.

Buyback & burn: A defined portion of net profits, 10%, is earmarked for buying back tokens and burning them, aiming to reduce circulating supply over time.

Asset-tied issuance: New tokens are being minted in connection with acquiring additional yachts or other real-world assets, using a NAV-based issuance framework designed to align token supply with the underlying asset base and charter activity.

$YATE Token Pre-Sale

Investing Yachts states that the $YATE pre-sale is scheduled to open on February 25, 2026, with the goal of expanding community participation ahead of broader exchange availability.

As described on the website and in the whitepaper documentation, the pre-sale pricing is structured as follows:

Initial price: 0.10 USDT per $YATE

Dynamic increase: +0.75% price increase every 24 hours

Duration: 9 months

Target post–pre-sale listing price: 1.00 USDT

The documentation also outlines vesting terms for pre-sale tokens, as well as other mechanisms aligned to provide sustainable growth stability for the project, rewarding long-term holders and early adopters.

Broker Network and Market Positioning

The global yacht charter and yachting services market represents a multi-billion-dollar industry, traditionally limited to a small group of high-capital participants. Investing Yachts aims to use its RWA structure to broaden access by enabling community participation through $YATE, bringing a token-based framework to a segment that has historically remained offline and illiquid.

Investing Yachts has established relationships with experienced yacht brokers and industry intermediaries to support fleet sourcing and charter deployment. These connections are intended to strengthen the project’s ability to identify acquisition opportunities, negotiate terms, and access vessels aligned with demand in key charter regions. 

Community and updates

Investing Yachts is publishing updates via social channels and encourages supporters to follow the project for pre-sale announcements, documentation updates, and roadmap progress:

Tel Aviv, Israel, February 6th, 2026, Chainwire

Fhenix, a pioneering developer of encrypted smart contracts with fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), has achieved a new milestone for blockchain privacy with the development of its cutting-edge Decomposed BFV technology. It’s a groundbreaking new cryptographic technique that’s poised to transform the performance and scalability of exact FHE schemes and enable robust, high-throughput privacy-preserving computation for real-world applications. 

FHE makes it possible to perform computations on encrypted data without ever having to decrypt it. It has tremendous promise for data privacy, potentially enabling the secure processing and analysis of sensitive information. However, FHE has yet to live up to this promise, for the technology has always been constrained by a key performance bottleneck – namely, the catastrophic scaling of computational costs and noise when performing arithmetic on large numbers. 

The scaling challenge of FHE is especially acute in exact schemes such as BFV and BGV, which are essential for computing financial logic due to the requirement of perfect precision. As plaintext integers grow, noise management costs escalate rapidly, rendering real-world, high-volume applications impractical. 

Accelerated computational throughput

Fhenix’s DBFV represents a paradigm shift for encrypted arithmetic. By decomposing single, large plaintext data into smaller, independently-managed BFV ciphertexts or “limbs” during the encryption process, DBFV dramatically improves the throughput and scaling behavior of FHE.

For years, running exact FHE on larger integers simply wasn’t viable. While the mathematics were sound, developers would quickly crash into a performance wall when running real-world production workloads. The excessive bootstrapping costs made it impractical for any application.  

By enhancing the noise management process, DBFV supports the use of deeper circuits before costly bootstrapping is required. It manages noise more efficiently across multiple “limbs,” expanding the useful depth of computation. While some operations, such as multiplication, become slightly more expensive compared to standard BFV, DBFV’s avoidance of frequent bootstrapping significantly reduces the overall computational cost of noise remediation. For the first time, it enables the cost-effective computation of sustained encrypted workloads, making FHE viable for decentralized finance protocols and enterprise-grade blockchain solutions. 

DBFV will support the development of a new generation of FHE applications that require speed and precision, including financial logic, stateful applications and high-volume data aggregation. 

Fhenix intends to integrate DBFV as a foundational element of its infrastructure later this year, weaponizing pure cryptography to eliminate a bottleneck that many thought could never be overcome. It will redefine how precision, noise and circuit depth interact, making FHE a deployable reality and paving the way for developers to build complex, privacy-preserving financial applications without sacrificing performance on precision. 

About Fhenix

Fhenix is a research and development company pioneering encrypted smart contracts with fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). Starting with a laser focus on Private DeFi, Fhenix is building the infrastructure to bring FHE everywhere - empowering developers, institutions, and users to create and use financial applications without sacrificing confidentiality or composability.

ai.com, a new AI platform founded by Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com, today announced the launch of its Autonomous AI agent offering for consumers. With a few clicks, anyone can now generate a private, personal AI agent that doesn't just answer questions, but actually operates on the user's behalf - organizing work, sending messages, executing actions across apps, building projects, and more. The key differentiating feature is the agent's ability to autonomously build out missing features and capabilities to complete real-world tasks. Such improvements will subsequently be shared across millions of agents on the network, massively increasing the utility of each agent for ai.com users.

With ai.com, users will soon be able to deploy their agent to do a range of actions on behalf of their user, like trade stocks, automate workflows, organize and execute daily tasks with their calendar, or even update their online dating profile - all while remaining private, permission-based, and fully under the user's control. All user agents operate in a dedicated secure environment where data is segregated and encrypted with user-specific keys and agents are restricted to their user's capability limits.

Marszalek built Crypto.com from the ground up to become one of the largest global crypto platforms in the world with over 150 million retail users, the industry's leader in licenses, registrations and certifications, and the world's leading USD-supporting crypto exchange. With ai.com, Marszalek is working to mainstream AI agents and AGI in the same way he led mass consumer adoption of cryptocurrency. Marszalek will lead both ai.com and Crypto.com as CEO.

Since acquiring the ai.com domain in 2025, a transaction believed to be the single largest domain purchase in history, Marszalek has been steadily building out its AI-dedicated offering and team. ai.com will officially launch its new agentic AI product on February 8, 2026 alongside its commercial broadcast premiere during Super Bowl LX on NBC.

"We are at a fundamental shift in AI's evolution as we rapidly move beyond basic chats to AI agents actually getting things done for humans," said Kris Marszalek, Founder and CEO of ai.com. "Our vision is a decentralized network of billions of agents who self-improve and share these improvements with each other, vastly and rapidly expanding agentic capabilities and accelerating the advent of AGI."

While agentic AI's have typically required specific hardware, high technical capabilities, and complex operating protocols, ai.com's offering is truly a first-of-its-kind to provide consumers a best-in-class agentic AI experience with no complexity and no technical knowledge required - all seamlessly through their ai.com profile.

Founded in 2020, Playnance spent several years developing and operating its technology and consumer platforms without public exposure. The company’s products are built to let users participate in on-chain systems without needing to understand blockchain mechanics, using familiar Web2 interfaces such as standard account creation and login flows, while the underlying blockchain functionality runs seamlessly in the background.

Playnance reports that its live platforms currently process approximately 1.5 million on-chain transactions per day and serve more than 10,000 daily active users. According to the company, a majority of these users originate from Web2 environments and onboard without using traditional crypto-native tools such as external wallets or manual key management, indicating sustained on-chain activity from non-crypto-native audiences.

The ecosystem is powered by G Coin, the utility token that powers every transaction across the Playnance ecosystem. Like BNB for exchanges, G Coin serves as the operational engine behind a high-volume digital entertainment ecosystem - powering every bet, trade, prediction, and spin.

As ecosystem activity grows, G Coin usage increases accordingly, directly aligning the token with real demand from users. Currently under pre-sale mode and available on the Playnance official website. The company operates several consumer-facing platforms that serve as proof points for this approach, including PlayW3, Up vs Down and more. These platforms run on shared on-chain infrastructure and wallet systems, enabling users to move across products without repeating onboarding processes. All user activity is executed and recorded on-chain while remaining non-custodial.

“Our focus was on building systems that people could use without needing to understand blockchain mechanics,” said Pini Peter, CEO of Playnance. “We prioritized live operation and user behavior over public announcements, and this is the first time we are formally introducing the company after reaching scale.”

Playnance’s infrastructure is designed to support high-volume consumer activity and continuous on-chain execution, reflecting a broader trend in the industry toward practical applications of blockchain technology beyond early adopter audiences. The company states that it plans to continue expanding its ecosystem based on observed user behavior and platform performance rather than speculative adoption models.
