Osaka Pilot Puts Blockchain at the Centre of Export Factoring
SBI XDC Network APAC, printing and digital services group TOPPAN, and crypto infrastructure firm Ginco are jointly running a trade finance demonstration in Osaka, Japan. The project has received backing through Osaka Prefecture's FY2026 financial market formation subsidy, a government programme designed to encourage fintech and blockchain innovation within the region.
The demonstration focuses on export factoring, a financing method that allows businesses to unlock cash from outstanding trade receivables before a buyer pays. The pilot examines how recording trade transaction data and corporate identity information on the XDC Network can reduce friction in this process for local businesses, cutting down the document-heavy manual steps that slow cross-border deals.
SBI XDC Network APAC is a joint venture between SBI Holdings and TradeFinex Tech Ltd., the UAE-based company that operates the XDC Network. TOPPAN plays a particularly relevant role in the pilot given that its group company, TOPPAN Edge, became Japan's first Qualified vLEI Issuer (QVI) in the verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI) ecosystem in September 2025, giving it a key function in issuing verifiable digital corporate identity certificates for participants in the demonstration.
In international transactions and finance, it has previously been difficult to verify that a company actually exists and who its representatives are. The Osaka demonstration aims to address exactly that gap by anchoring corporate identity data to the blockchain.
Government Backing Reflects Osaka's Fintech Push
Beyond export factoring, the project also targets improvements to Know Your Business (KYB) verification, customer inquiry handling, and payment collection, three processes that remain largely manual for many smaller Japanese exporters.
The subsidy underpinning the project fits into a wider regional strategy. Osaka promotes financial innovation by providing subsidies and other assistance for the demonstration of pioneering financial services, in order to foster the formation of innovative financial products and markets. In March 2025, new goals were set for Phase 2, covering FY2026 to FY2030, including targets to attract 50 foreign financial companies, create 1,200 startups, and raise 160 billion yen. The SBI XDC and TOPPAN collaboration sits squarely within that agenda.
For the $XDC ecosystem, the Osaka pilot represents a concrete step toward institutional adoption in Japan, one of Asia's most significant trade finance markets.

Nasdaq-listed Hyperliquid Strategies ($PURR) has more than doubled its $HYPE token treasury, closing its fiscal year ended June 30 with 29.3 million tokens valued at roughly $1.9 billion. The results, released Thursday, sent PURR shares up as much as 18% in the session.
A Treasury Built on Equity Capital
The digital asset treasury firm ended June with 29.3 million HYPE tokens, up from an initial 12.5 million, after raising $647 million through its committed equity facility. Shares were issued at an average price of $8.70 each. Total assets reached $2.06 billion, including $149.9 million in cash and cash-like instruments and $1.904 billion in HYPE based on the token's June 30 price of $65.04.
The company reported $305.5 million in annual net income and no debt. Hyperliquid Strategies recorded $709.9 million in net unrealized HYPE gains, partly offset by a $169.2 million one-time loss tied to tokens contributed at the business combination and $183.5 million in deferred tax expense.
The company has since deployed $773.4 million to acquire about 16.5 million additional HYPE at an average cost of $46.77 and spent $27.8 million repurchasing PURR shares, leaving $132.6 million in cash as of Aug. 19.
Staking, Validators, and the Road Ahead
Substantially all of the company's HYPE tokens are staked and generating income. During the 12 months ended June 30, the company recorded $9.5 million in staking revenue and validator commissions. The company described its co-operated validator as Hyperliquid's third-largest when excluding wallets connected to the Hyper Foundation.
HYPE gained about 77% in the quarter ended June 30 while the broader digital asset market fell roughly 13%. Hyperliquid's share of global perpetual futures volume reached about 9.4%, while its decentralized perpetuals open-interest share stood near 63% as of Aug. 23.
"This was the year we built the platform," CEO David Schamis said. Stockholders' equity of approximately $1.9 billion was up over 150% from the prior quarter, driven by both the appreciation of HYPE and net capital raised from issuing equity.

A memecoin on BNB Chain called "My Girlfriend Jing Tian" surged more than 10,000% after TRON founder Justin Sun went public with an explosive account of a collapsed relationship with Chinese actress Jing Tian, setting off one of the more unusual celebrity-crypto crossover stories in recent memory.
The token briefly reached a market cap of around $7 million before retreating toward $2 million, a sharp but familiar arc for sentiment-driven memecoins that live and die on viral attention.
What Sun Claimed
TRON founder Justin Sun ignited a firestorm on Chinese social media after claiming an artificial intelligence chatbot advised him to end his relationship with prominent Chinese actress Jing Tian over a $50 million financial dispute and surrogacy plans. Sun published a lengthy post on social media titled "My Girlfriend Jing Tian," purportedly detailing his alleged relationship with the actress, from secretly admiring her in 2007 to eventually meeting, dating and discussing marriage, before the relationship broke down.
In a post he noted took over ten hours to write, Sun alleged the couple had reached the stage of discussing marriage, and that he had already paid a 30 million yuan dowry to Jing's parents while the pair had agreed to have a child via surrogacy. Sun further alleged that shortly before Jing was scheduled to undergo an egg retrieval procedure, the actress unexpectedly demanded an additional $50 million.
Faced with the ultimatum, Sun said he consulted Anthropic's AI chatbot Claude for guidance. Acting on the AI's recommendation, Sun rejected the financial demand, effectively ending the relationship.
Sun's attorney subsequently issued a statement confirming a civil lawsuit against Jing and her parents over a related property dispute, with the amount involved allegedly exceeding RMB 30 million (approximately $4.5 million), and the case formally accepted and filed by the court.
Jing Tian Pushes Back
Jing Tian has rejected Sun's account. Her studio issued a statement claiming that Sun is attempting to "use her reputation as leverage" and that all matters involving Sun will be handled by the court.
The story dominated Chinese social media, with multiple related hashtags occupying top trending spots on Weibo. Public reaction was heavily polarized, with some users mocking the role of a chatbot in ending a high-profile romance, while others criticized Sun for publicly disclosing intimate details about the couple's medical procedures, finances, and private plans.
The court case carries additional complications: surrogacy is strictly prohibited in China, meaning proceedings could create legal exposure for both parties if the matter goes to trial.
For crypto markets, the episode is another reminder of how celebrity drama can briefly ignite speculative trading on BNB Chain, where low-cap memecoins regularly spike on viral narratives before giving back most of their gains.

Dunamu, operator of South Korea's largest cryptocurrency exchange Upbit (@Official_Upbit), has partnered with global payments provider Visa to develop financial and payment services using stablecoins and artificial intelligence. The two companies unveiled a roadmap for the partnership at Visa's Global Market Support Center in San Francisco.
Stablecoins, Remittances, and AI Agents
Dunamu's digital asset technology will be combined with Visa's global payments network to explore stablecoin-based payment and remittance services in major markets. The companies are also exploring business models based on OUSD, an open-standard stablecoin, as well as new user experiences in payments and settlement. A key area of interest is the use of AI agents to handle everyday shopping and payment tasks, with both parties aiming to bring digital assets into closer alignment with traditional payment rails.
The partnership will be developed in stages, with a focus on stability, transparency, interoperability, and regulatory compliance. The phased approach reflects a broader push across South Korea's financial industry to build credible, regulated digital asset infrastructure.
Dunamu's Broader Stablecoin Push
"AI, stablecoins, and tokenization are key trends that will reshape how finance and commerce operate," said Dunamu CEO Oh Kyung-seok. "Through our partnership with Visa, we will connect digital assets with traditional finance and create new global financial experiences for users."
The Visa deal is not Dunamu's only recent push into digital finance. South Korea's Hana Bank acquired a 6.55% stake in Dunamu for roughly 1 trillion won ($670 million), a deal that came as South Korea advances a Digital Asset Basic Act and tighter security rules for crypto exchanges. Following the acquisition, Hana and Dunamu confirmed plans to collaborate on digital asset initiatives including won-pegged stablecoins, blockchain remittances, tokenized securities, and asset management.
Visa itself has been accelerating its stablecoin strategy in parallel. In April 2026, Visa announced it was adding five blockchains to its global stablecoin settlement pilot, with the program reaching a $7 billion annualized stablecoin settlement run rate, up 50% since the prior quarter. The Dunamu partnership extends that momentum into the South Korean market and adds an AI-driven dimension that few comparable deals have included so far.

Aave's fourth protocol version has hit a fresh deposit record, with total inflows reaching $806 million and rising 30% in the span of just one week.
A Sharp and Sustained Climb
The pace of growth has been striking. Deposits sat near $50 million at the time of V4's early May 2026 deployment before climbing through the $200 million to $300 million range between late June and July. From there, momentum accelerated sharply through August. V4 deposits crossed $500 million on Aug. 19 and $600 million two days later before surpassing $800 million within another six days. Aave founder Stani Kulechov confirmed the $600 million milestone publicly. The protocol has since pushed well past $800 million, setting a new all-time high.
The deposit figure includes funds across Ethereum and Layer 2 networks such as Base and Polygon, reflecting strong demand for stablecoin yields and accelerating migration from V3 to V4. Ethereum Core remained the largest V4 market with $378 million in deposits. Borrowing activity has also increased, with V4 recording $216 million in active loans.
EtherFi Cash Adds Weight to V4
EtherFi Cash on Optimism holds $257 million in V4 deposits, making it the second largest market on the protocol. A dedicated, EtherFi-operated Aave V4 instance is now live on OP Mainnet, powering Cash's credit backend. It replaces the in-house lending system that took Cash from zero to its current scale. EtherFi says Cash has more than 100,000 active cardholders and over 300,000 accounts, with EtherFi targeting $500 million in lending capacity by 2027.
Aave V3 continues to operate in parallel, carrying the bulk of the protocol's overall liquidity across chains. That structure gives the Aave DAO flexibility on the pace of migration, while V4 builds its own deposit base independently. The protocol's modular architecture and enhanced risk controls are attracting institutional interest in treasury management and digital credit lines, with audits nearing completion and governance votes on cross-chain liquidity pending.

A Lightning-Style Layer for Cardano
Cardano (@cardano) developers have unveiled a new state channel architecture called Cardano Lightning, designed to bring Bitcoin Lightning-style payments to the $ADA network. The system was presented in detail during an August 24 Cardano Community livestream featuring PolyCrypto software engineer Ilja von Hoessle, and is currently in pre-production deployment.
The concept draws directly from Bitcoin's Lightning Network, which uses off-chain payment channels to allow users to transact quickly and cheaply without recording every payment to the base layer. As von Hoessle described it, Lightning means you can be "secure but also very fast and pay few or zero fees." Cardano Lightning applies the same logic, but is built specifically for Cardano's extended UTXO (eUTXO) model rather than Bitcoin's architecture.
At its core, Cardano Lightning consists of bidirectional payment channels that allow two parties to send and receive payments directly. Either party can close a channel at any time without putting the other party's funds at risk. Payments can also be routed across multiple channels, meaning two users without a direct connection can still transact through an intermediary node.
How the System Is Built
The technical stack combines three components. The foundation is a fork of the Lightning Development Kit (LDK Node), an existing and well-maintained SDK used to build customisable Lightning nodes. On top of that, developers added a Rust-based relay that handles communication and coordination across the network, and a Cardano smart contract that acts as a liquidity manager.
Cardano has previously lacked a lightweight layer-2 payment solution with fast settlement, easy integration, and adjustable fees. Cardano Lightning is an attempt to address that gap directly, targeting instant settlement with minimal or zero transaction costs.
The project remains in pre-production as the team continues testing. No mainnet launch date has been announced.

Stellar's (@StellarOrg) tokenized real-world asset market has grown from roughly $785 million in January to over $3 billion by July, according to RedStone. The surge was driven by tokenized Treasuries, money market funds, and corporate credit. Yet despite that institutional momentum, Stellar's DeFi ecosystem remains a fraction of the size, and the two worlds have so far stayed largely separate.
A Rapid Rise in Tokenized Assets
The growth curve has been steep. The Stellar Development Foundation's Q2 2026 report shows tokenized RWAs reached $3.05 billion, doubling in a single quarter, while the broader RWA market grew roughly 50% over the same period, meaning Stellar expanded about four times faster than the industry average.
The asset mix behind the headline figure is broad. Spiko, a tokenization platform, accounts for over $1 billion in assets on the network. Franklin Templeton's BENJI token sits at approximately $654 million, Ondo Finance's USDY contributes around $529 million, and VuMe Bond 2030, a corporate credit issuance, adds roughly $500 million to the total.
Stellar's Protocol 26 upgrade also introduced key compliance features, including on-chain asset freeze capabilities and improved precision for financial instruments, positioning the network as a platform for regulated finance. The US DTCC has confirmed plans to connect its tokenized securities platform to Stellar by 2027.
DeFi Lags Behind, and RWAs Barely Touch It
For all the momentum on the institutional side, Stellar's DeFi ecosystem tells a different story. The network's DeFi total value locked stands at roughly $259 million, a small figure relative to its tokenized asset base. Blend, the network's primary lending protocol, accounts for around $127 million of that DeFi value.
The more telling number, however, is how little of Stellar's RWA market has actually flowed into DeFi. Only slightly more than $2 million currently sits in Blend pools that accept RWAs as collateral. That gap points to a structural disconnect: billions in tokenized assets are sitting on-chain, but the infrastructure to put them to productive use within DeFi has not yet matured to meet them.
Splyce, described as a distribution and utility layer for tokenized real-world assets, is attempting to address this by making institutional assets like private credit and tokenized funds actively composable across Stellar's DeFi protocols, rather than simply held on-chain. Whether that kind of integration gains traction will likely determine how quickly Stellar's RWA boom translates into deeper DeFi activity.
For now, Stellar presents a clear split: a rapidly maturing institutional tokenization layer on one side, and a DeFi ecosystem that is still building the connections needed to absorb it.

Ripple Recommends Dropping Native Bridge Proposal
Ripple has formally recommended that the XRP Ledger community withdraw the XLS-38 amendment, also known as XChainBridge, along with the related fixXChainRewardRounding amendment. XLS-38 was originally proposed to enable native cross-chain bridges on the XRP Ledger. It defined a protocol using a decentralized network of witness servers to observe and attest to transactions across chains.
The amendment was designed to enable the transfer of value between sidechains through locking and issuing mechanisms, connecting a locking chain and an issuing chain. Its intended use cases included private chains, permissioned networks, and a bridge linking the XRPL EVM Sidechain to mainnet with $XRP as the native gas token.
Ripple concluded that the witness-server model creates security, decentralization, and operational trade-offs that become more significant as the value locked in a bridge increases. With limited developer demand for the feature, the company no longer considers maintaining the codebase worthwhile. Withdrawing the amendment would remove more than 10,000 lines of code from the protocol.
Axelar Steps In as the Preferred Alternative
Ripple says the Axelar integration already addresses the XRPL EVM Sidechain's bridging needs, while limited demand for XLS-38 no longer justifies maintaining its codebase. For users of the XRPL EVM Sidechain, the Axelar bridge remains the connection to and from the XRPL mainnet.
Axelar is a decentralized interoperability network that acts as a universal connector for both EVM and non-EVM chains, including Ethereum, Solana, and the XRP Ledger. Axelar operates a Tendermint-based proof-of-stake blockchain with over 70 validators that verify cross-chain messages using quadratic voting mechanisms. Its General Message Passing protocol allows smart contracts on one blockchain to call functions on another without requiring developers to build custom bridge infrastructure.
The recommendation is not final. Ripple has indicated the decision could still change if developers demonstrate compelling use cases for the native bridging standard. The XRPL community will ultimately decide whether to proceed with the withdrawal.

Japan Bitcoin Industry (JBI) has unveiled Aurora, a $BTC payment platform aimed at helping Japanese content creators and merchants sell to international audiences, without the friction of traditional cross-border payment systems. The platform was introduced at Bitcoin Asia 2026 in Hong Kong.
Targeting Anime, Manga, and Gaming
Aurora is designed specifically for Japanese merchants selling anime, manga, video games, and other digital content overseas. JBI says conventional payment infrastructure has long left international fans underserved, creating a gap between global demand and the ability of Japanese sellers to capture it.
That gap is growing. Japan's overseas anime revenues surged 26% year-on-year to JPY 2.17 trillion ($14.27 billion) in 2024. Overseas revenue accounted for 56% of the industry's total 2024 sales. Aurora positions itself as a direct solution for merchants looking to convert that international interest into sales.
Self-Custodial Lightning Payments
Payments on Aurora run through the Bitcoin Lightning Network, a layer-two protocol that settles transactions off-chain, enabling faster processing and significantly lower fees than on-chain Bitcoin transfers. JBI describes its infrastructure as fast, low-cost payment rails on the Lightning Network, usable in more than 150 countries.
Each merchant on Aurora operates its own self-custodial Lightning node, meaning JBI handles operational tasks but never takes custody of merchant funds. Buyers transact directly with the seller's node, keeping control of funds on the merchant side throughout.
The platform includes a point-of-sale system and an API, allowing merchants to manage invoices, track payment status, and integrate Aurora into their existing technology stack. JBI invited potential merchants, media, and wallet providers to connect with its team during the Hong Kong conference.
The launch adds to a broader push toward Bitcoin adoption in Japan, where Lightning Network use among exchanges and enterprises has been expanding in recent years.

Trump Media and Technology Group ($DJT) has walked away from its original plan to build a native prediction market directly into Truth Social, opting instead for a simpler marketing arrangement with Crypto(.)com.
From Integration to Marketing Deal
The two companies had announced the prediction market partnership last October, branding the planned product "Truth Predict." That effort was meant to let Truth Social and Truth+ users trade event contracts, including sports derivatives, directly inside the app, with beta testing expected to lead into a national rollout.
On August 7, 2026, Crypto(.)com and Trump Media jointly announced changes to their previously announced prediction market integration. Rather than develop a direct prediction market integration on Truth Social, the companies will pivot to a marketing agreement under which Crypto(.)com's prediction market experiences will be marketed to the Truth Social user base.
The arrangement positions Truth Social as a marketing channel rather than an execution venue for prediction markets, potentially reducing technical and regulatory complexity while still giving users exposure to Crypto(.)com's prediction market products.
A Crowded Market and a Tighter Focus
The prediction market business is already crowded with established companies, Interim CEO Kevin McGurn says, making the back-end infrastructure a less attractive use of Trump Media's resources. He sees more opportunity for the company as a distribution and data partner than as an operator of the underlying markets.
"Our strategic focus is to drive revenue across Truth Social, continue to build our global media business, and close the merger with TAE," McGurn said. "This marketing agreement better aligns with our priorities and will put Crypto(.)com's prediction market experiences in front of a highly engaged digital audience."
Trump Media has also canceled an agreement to purchase billions of dollars' worth of Cronos (CRO) tokens. When Trump Media announced plans to buy the CRO token in August last year, the price skyrocketed to $0.33. It has since fallen to $0.047, a decline of over 85%.
While the decision all but ends the original Crypto(.)com deal, it opens the possibility of Trump Media striking partnerships with other platforms. Kalshi and Polymarket have already formed several media partnerships and also have ties to the Trump family. Shortly after the election, Donald Trump Jr. became a strategic advisor to Kalshi and has since taken up the same role at Polymarket, investing through his firm 1789 Capital.
From a prediction market standpoint, Crypto(.)com can easily survive the loss of the Truth Social deal. The cryptocurrency exchange has several more visible, likely more lucrative prediction market partnerships in place, including deals with Fanatics and FanDuel, among others.

Esper Frames Crypto Regulation as a Defense Issue
Former U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper is pressing the Senate to pass the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act, arguing that the legislation carries implications well beyond financial markets. Esper urged senators to pass the CLARITY Act in a Financial Times op-ed, arguing that digital asset market structure should be treated as a national security issue as well as a financial regulatory question. He led the Pentagon from 2019 to 2020 and now serves as an adviser to Coinbase.
Esper cites China's alternative payment infrastructure and North Korea's use of crypto as reasons to keep digital asset activity within U.S. regulatory reach. He stressed the CLARITY Act would extend Patriot Act provisions to digital assets, modernizing the identification and special measures apparatus against foreign institutions to target threat actors such as North Korea and criminal organizations. He also warned that without the bill, crypto activity could shift to unregulated foreign markets.
What the Bill Does and Where It Stands
The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act is proposed U.S. legislation intended to create a clearer federal framework for digital assets, addressing when a crypto asset should be regulated by the SEC and when the CFTC should oversee it. The CLARITY Act would grant the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over digital commodity spot markets, while maintaining SEC jurisdiction over investment contract assets. It would also require exchanges, brokers, and other financial institutions that engage with the crypto sector to comply with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer regulations. On the Treasury side, the updated bill expands Treasury authority over digital asset transfers tied to foreign money laundering concerns.
The bill has had a long road through Congress. The House passed the CLARITY Act 294 to 134 in July 2025, and the Senate Banking Committee later advanced its version 15 to 9 in May 2026. However, the Senate failed to complete a floor vote before its August recess. Outstanding disagreements include Democratic demands for stronger ethics restrictions related to political officials' crypto interests and Republican concerns about how digital asset products could affect community banks.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune filed cloture, scheduling an initial procedural vote for September 15. A cloture vote on the motion to proceed requires 60 votes to succeed. If it fails on September 15, the bill does not advance to the floor for debate or amendment votes, and its 2026 legislative window closes.

Evernorth Holdings đã vượt qua một trong những trở ngại pháp lý quan trọng nhất trên hành trình trở thành công ty lưu ký tài sản XRP niêm yết công khai. Ủy ban Chứng khoán và Giao dịch Mỹ (SEC) tuyên bố hồ sơ đăng ký Form S-4 của công ty có hiệu lực vào ngày 27 tháng 8, mở đường cho kế hoạch sáp nhập của công ty với Armada Acquisition Corp. II và việc niêm yết tiếp theo trên Nasdaq dưới mã chứng khoán XRPN.
Thỏa thuận và Ý nghĩa của nó
Công ty đã công bố kế hoạch niêm yết công khai vào tháng 10 năm 2025 thông qua việc sáp nhập với công ty mua lại mục đích đặc biệt (SPAC) Armada Acquisition Corp. II. Thương vụ sáp nhập SPAC trị giá 1 tỷ USD được hậu thuẫn bởi Ripple, SBI Holdings, Pantera Capital và Kraken. Evernorth kỳ vọng thương vụ sẽ tạo ra 1 tỷ USD tổng số tiền thu về, phần lớn trong số đó được dành để xây dựng quỹ dự trữ XRP (XRP treasury), với một phần nhỏ hơn được trích cho chi phí vận hành và chi phí liên quan đến thương vụ.

@XDCNetwork đã xây dựng kiến trúc subnet của mình dựa trên một điểm cân bằng cốt lõi trong blockchain doanh nghiệp: các tổ chức cần sổ cái riêng tư, nhưng họ cũng muốn những đảm bảo về bảo mật của một chuỗi công khai. Mô hình subnet là câu trả lời của họ.
Một chuỗi riêng tư, do khách hàng sở hữu hoàn toàn
Một subnet XDC, theo đúng lời trong tài liệu của chính mạng lưới, là "một blockchain có chủ quyền, được cấp phép và hiệu năng cao, do khách hàng sở hữu hoàn toàn." Nó chạy trên XDC2.0, động cơ đồng thuận được phát triển nội bộ cho XDC và cũng đã được triển khai lên mainnet. Điều này có nghĩa là môi trường doanh nghiệp và mạng công khai dùng chung cùng một giao thức nền tảng.

@EthenaFndtn đã công bố một cuộc cải tổ toàn diện về kinh tế token, mua lại các vị thế bị khóa do các nhà đầu tư mồi ban đầu nắm giữ và khởi động một cuộc bỏ phiếu quản trị có thể chuyển 95% doanh thu ròng của giao thức vào các chương trình mua lại (buyback) $ENA theo cơ chế tự động.
Mua lại nhà đầu tư và tăng tốc giải khóa
Nền tảng đã thực hiện các giao dịch mua qua thị trường phi tập trung đối với các token bị khóa từ một số nhà đầu tư mồi (seed) lớn trong hai tuần qua, nhắm đến những người đã được phân bổ ban đầu hơn 0,25% tổng nguồn cung $ENA và đã bán bất kỳ token nào trong vòng chín tháng trước đó. Các nhà đầu tư được chia thành hai nhóm dựa trên hoạt động sau đỉnh thị trường vào ngày 10/10/2025; nền tảng đã mua toàn bộ các token chưa được giải ngân từ những người đã bán sau mốc ngày đó, ngoại trừ một địa chỉ đã từ chối đề nghị.

Một Nhà tiên tri được tích hợp ngay trong chính chuỗi
@FlareNetworks tiếp cận dữ liệu giá theo cách khác so với hầu hết các mạng blockchain. Thay vì dựa vào một dịch vụ oracle bên thứ ba, Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) là một oracle được khắc ghi trực tiếp vào giao thức cốt lõi của mạng, nghĩa là mọi nguồn cấp dữ liệu giá mà nó tạo ra đều mang cùng các đảm bảo an ninh như chính chuỗi.
Được khắc ghi vào giao thức cốt lõi của Flare, mọi nguồn cấp oracle trong FTSOv2 đều kế thừa mức độ bảo mật kinh tế của toàn bộ mạng. Sự khác biệt này quan trọng đối với các ứng dụng DeFi phụ thuộc vào độ chính xác của giá: oracle không thể tách rời khỏi sự đồng thuận của chuỗi, loại bỏ một bề mặt tấn công thường thấy trong các thiết kế oracle gắn thêm (bolt-on).

Từ Mainnet đến Di động và Bây giờ là Máy tính để bàn
Người dùng @PetraWallet trên máy tính để bàn giờ đây có thể giữ và gửi trực tiếp số dư $APT được mã hóa từ tiện ích mở rộng trình duyệt của ví, với số tiền giao dịch được ẩn trên chuỗi, trong khi địa chỉ người gửi và người nhận vẫn được hiển thị công khai. Động thái này mở rộng một đợt triển khai đã và đang được xây dựng trên nhiều nền tảng trong suốt năm 2026.
Đề xuất Aptos 188 đã được thực thi vào ngày 24 tháng 4, cho phép bảo mật APT trên mainnet. Aptos đã công bố quyền truy cập thông qua Petra và giao diện web Confidential Assets vào ngày 17 tháng 6, sau đó là đợt triển khai Petra rộng hơn trên thiết bị di động vào tháng 7. Tiện ích mở rộng trình duyệt đánh dấu bước mở rộng mới nhất trong quá trình đó.

Một hạn mức cung được xây dựng theo hình ảnh của Bitcoin
@Coredao_Org đã cấu trúc lượng cung của token gốc theo một hướng liên hệ rõ ràng tới Bitcoin. CORE phản ánh mô hình khan hiếm của Bitcoin với hạn mức cung cố định là 2,1 tỷ token, đúng 100 lần lượng cung 21 triệu của Bitcoin. Theo tài liệu chính thức của Core, sự song hành này là có chủ đích, định vị mạng lưới như một blockchain lớp 1 tương thích với Bitcoin, mượn các nguyên tắc tiền tệ âm (sound money) từ giao thức gốc.
Nguồn cung mới chỉ đi vào thị trường thông qua phần thưởng khối, được trả cho các trình xác thực (validator) tạo ra từng khối. Phần thưởng của Core đến từ hai nguồn chính: một lịch phần thưởng khối cố định phân phối dần token CORE trong 81 năm, và phí giao dịch được tạo ra từ hoạt động trên blockchain Core.

Hai Phiếu Bầu, Nâng Cấp Từng Bước Một
Hầu hết các mạng blockchain đều phối hợp nâng cấp giao thức trong một sự kiện duy nhất trên toàn mạng. Mạng Internet Computer của @dfinity lại có cách tiếp cận thận trọng hơn: triển khai các thay đổi theo từng subnet, thay vì làm đồng loạt ngay từ đầu.
Quá trình bắt đầu với hai lớp quản trị onchain riêng biệt. Phiếu bầu đầu tiên, do Mạng Thần kinh (Network Nervous System - NNS) xử lý, sẽ bầu chọn một phiên bản phần mềm mới đưa vào danh sách các phiên bản được chấp thuận. Một tập hợp đề xuất riêng sau đó sẽ chuyển từng subnet riêng lẻ sang phiên bản đó theo lịch trình của mình. Việc một subnet có nên được nâng cấp lên một phiên bản nhất định hay không sẽ được quyết định bởi các phiếu bầu trong hệ thống quản trị, thay vì do cá nhân quyết định.

Hầu hết các hệ thống danh tính đều lưu những gì họ quét. InterLink ID, lớp xác minh được xây dựng bởi @inter_link, được thiết kế theo hướng ngược lại: xác nhận một người là thật mà không lưu bất kỳ bản ghi nào về hình ảnh khuôn mặt của họ.
Quy trình xác minh hoạt động như thế nào
Việc xác minh bắt đầu bằng một lần quét khuôn mặt. Trước khi bất cứ dữ liệu nào được ghi lại, một mô hình AI sẽ chạy kiểm tra deepfake và độ sống động (liveness) để đảm bảo rằng bản quét được thực hiện từ một người thật đang hiện diện, chứ không phải ảnh hay video phát lại. Cốt lõi của hệ thống là InterLink ID, một công cụ xác minh dựa trên sinh trắc học: người dùng quét khuôn mặt của mình thông qua ứng dụng và các thuật toán AI sẽ kiểm tra độ sống động để ngăn chặn các trò giả mạo như ảnh hoặc video.
