This week at Devconnect, Clave launched on zkSync Era... with two powerful payment use cases in a real-world setting at zkCafé and zkBazaar in Istanbul. Re-live the experience: The highlights ⬇️ ∎ Native account abstraction = frictionless UX ∎ Account abstraction can streamline wallet interactions to make account management as straightforward as it is with email accounts. Using native account abstraction on zkSync Era, Clave is leading the way with its biometric-powered smart wallet and setting the standard for seamless mass-market payments onchain. ∎ A real-world use-case for crypto payments ∎ Devconnect attendees experienced the power of native account abstraction while using Clave and received free refreshments and local goods in the process. To set up their wallet, attendees simply entered their biometrics and a nickname to get started. As a welcome gift, Clave accounts came preloaded with mock tokens for a unique experience at zkCafé and zkBazaar, where merchants from Istanbul’s famous market set up shop and accepted payments with Clave—delivering a user experience akin to Apple Pay. ∎ Setting a new standard for usability ∎ Clave will unlock four key usability features by building on zkSync Era and implementing account abstraction: biometric authentication with secure enclave, sponsored transactions, paymasters and social recovery. In the near future, Clave will also introduce session keys, trusted onchain accounts, and daily spending limits, which will provide additional security measures to protect users' accounts.show more

A traveler taps her card at a market thousands... of miles from home. The payment feels instant, simple, straightforward. It’s not. Behind that tap, money may need to move across currencies, banks, payment providers, and borders. Traditional systems often require companies to park funds in local accounts before they are needed, leaving capital stagnant for long periods of time where it’s not able to earn a return or be put to work. Members of the Avalanche Payments Collective are building a more efficient global payments model, one that keeps capital productive up until the moment it needs to move. Here are five members working across different parts of cross-border payments and treasury infrastructure: Axiym provides payment and treasury infrastructure that helps institutions route liquidity and settle transactions without pre-funding every market. Its technology supported Hyundai Motor America’s stablecoin payment to its Mexico affiliate, completed on Avalanche in minutes instead of days. Nonco helps institutions exchange currencies and stablecoins by requesting prices directly from a network of professional liquidity providers. That gives them access to more competitive rates while allowing both sides of the transaction to settle together onchain. SMBC, Japan’s second-largest bank, is exploring stablecoin infrastructure for wholesale institutional payments. It is also working alongside MUFG and Mizuho on a potential yen-pegged stablecoin initiative built on Avalanche. StraitsX is working with KBank through Project BLOOM to develop payment infrastructure that can improve settlement across Southeast Asian corridors where moving money remains particularly slow and expensive. AeraTech helps multinational companies manage cash across subsidiaries, offset internal obligations, and settle inter-company payments without unnecessarily routing every transaction through external banks. These different companies all represent or engage with different parts of the payment and treasury stack. But they all have a shared goal: keep capital working longer, move it when it is needed, and make cross-border payments faster and more efficient. That is what the Avalanche Payments Collective is bringing together. Frictionless, borderless payments that really are instant, simple, and straightforward.show more

We're excited to announce the launch of the Chainlink... Reserve, a new upgrade centered on the creation of a strategic onchain reserve of LINK tokens. The Chainlink Reserve is designed to support the long-term growth and sustainability of the Chainlink Network by accumulating LINK tokens using offchain revenue from large enterprises that are adopting the Chainlink standard and from onchain service usage. The Chainlink Reserve is being built up by using Payment Abstraction to convert offchain and onchain revenue into LINK, using a combination of Chainlink services and decentralized exchange infrastructure. Demand for Chainlink has already created hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, substantially from large enterprises that have paid offchain for access to the Chainlink Platform. With increasing demand from a number of the world’s largest banking and capital markets institutions, this form of paying for the Chainlink standard is expected to grow into the future as the industry grows. The Reserve has already accumulated over $1M worth of LINK from this early stage launch phase, which is expected to gradually grow in the coming months as more revenue is converted into LINK and placed into the Reserve. We do not expect any withdrawals from the Reserve for multiple years and thus it is expected to grow over time. We believe that as the industry demand for Chainlink’s unique capabilities increases, that adoption of Chainlink services will enable the Reserve to grow further. 🧵👇show more

Stateless History Node is almost like a regular Ethereum... node, but it doesn't store state and it doesn't have EVM execution. It's used only for syncing events and thus - is faster and gives you FREE INDEXING. You don't have to pay 6 figures for RPC anymore! Just spin up a Stateless History Node, plug rindexer or Ponder there, and enjoy free (AND FAST!!) indexing! This node is syncing >1000 blocks per second at my local pc (less than 6hrs for the whole Ethereum), and it should use less than 200GB - which means you can host it on a MacMini, Hetzner or whatever. You can futhermore filter that by using block ranges or bloom filters, etc - I haven't developed this yet. What you see is a proof of concept. It works via native devp2p 'eth' protocol, but with EIP4444 and The Prune we would have to also support era1 archives and Portal Network. But so far it works - there are plenty of peers serving historical receipts, and they serve them FAST! If you run Stateless History Node you can also serve the blocks and receipts - so that could help to preserve archival data too. For now there is no data validation yet (and even no data storage - that's a very early PoC), but we can verify validity of chain by simultaneously running a lightweight CL node (or not lightweight if you're extremely paranoid). And then support verifying the hashes of receipts and blocks with their parents, maintaining full integrity and zero trust. It's also written in rust, btw. So, I guess, at least for Ethereum Mainnet the era of RPC's pumping moneybags is over - there's finally a local, trustless and free indexing alternative available. Too sad this won't work for Optimism / Base , cause despite introducing P2P after Bedrock - they haven't enabled receipts transfer in the protocol (or at least I couldn't find one). Arbitrum is even sadder - I don't believe there is a P2P layer at all - you just have to run your own node, hold state and execute blocks to get events. There is hope - Paradigm recently released Ress - stateless execution, but it requires nodes to support Witness preparation & exchange - but this could work for L2s - cause the main blocker for local RPCs rn is huge state (VPS with TB storage cost a lot), and the second blocker is EVM forks makes it hard to hold a node - it needs to be maintained, upgraded, etc. Ress at least solves the state part. But anyways, I will try to continue working on this and release some MVP version with RPC endpoint and data storage soon - follow the updates!show more

Hey gm crypto and AI community, I’ve been following... SocialFi since the early days, and I have to say Frog Defense is changing the game for Web3. This isn’t about short-term hype but about building long-term value. Powered by the Kaia blockchain and partnered with LINE Next, the project uses LINE’s massive reach with over 95% penetration across Asia to open the gates for real Web3 traffic. Let’s look closer. Kaia now has more than 45 million unique wallets and around 59 million dollars in transaction volume from payments alone. Frog Defense, currently the number one DApp on Kaia, is driving mass adoption by integrating Mini Apps directly into LINE chats. No extra downloads, no friction, just instant access for millions of users. Unlike TON’s global approach, Kaia focuses on localization. It started with 30 Mini DApps, and Frog Defense was among the first, launching on January 22, 2025. The FOFO token powers the ecosystem, distributing rewards through the Free-Gacha Center. It also integrates DePIN to verify real user activity and AI to optimize rewards. Over 10 million wallet users have turned everyday social interactions into on-chain value, helping Kaia surpass 150 DApps within months. The expansion plan follows an Uber-style model that starts in Taiwan, then expands to Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. With verified users through KYC, this creates a strong and trusted foundation for growth. Frog Defense isn’t just a game; it’s a platform designed to build a genuine Web3 community and eliminate fake traffic. You can join by registering on BingX here for a chance to win rewards from the 8,200 dollar prize pool: Submit your UID in-game and fill out the Season 2 Qualification Form. Invite friends to boost your airdrop potential and grow the ecosystem together. What do you think of this localization first approach? Drop your thoughts below. #BingXSpotBlast #FrogDefenseshow more

Introducing Zest Protocol Stacks Vaults, Automated yield strategies for... Bitcoin-native finance. Launching alongside the stacks.btc Bitcoin Staking upgrade. Stacks Vaults mark the evolution of Zest Protocol from a lending market into yield infrastructure. Until now, earning optimised yield on Stacks meant actively managing positions across markets, moving collateral, monitoring rates, and rebalancing by hand. Stacks Vaults changes that: deposit a single asset, select a strategy, and the vault handles the mechanics in the background. This is the yield toolkit for Stacks. Every yield source in the ecosystem becomes a strategy that can be automated and offered as a single-deposit product. The first vault is a levered Bitcoin Staking vault, built around the liquid staking Bitcoin token Stacking DAO launches with the Stacks Bitcoin Staking upgrade. How the levered Bitcoin Staking vault works: 🟠 One deposit, one position. Deposit BTC, sBTC, or stBTC directly into the vault. You hold a single position while the strategy runs itself. 🟠 Automated leverage. The vault uses your stBTC as collateral to borrow sBTC, stakes the borrowed sBTC into stBTC, and repeats the process. Target yield: 6 to 8%, purely derived from Bitcoin Staking on Stacks. 🟠 Non-custodial. The vault contract can only execute strategy actions on Zest Protocol's lending markets. It cannot move funds anywhere else, and only the user can withdraw their position. No one, including Zest Protocol, can access vault assets. 🟠 Built on live lending markets. The vault runs on Zest Protocol's existing markets: two years in production, over a thousand liquidations processed without bad debt. 🟠 Continuous monitoring. Zest Protocol manages the strategy and monitors the position automatically. No manual rebalancing, no juggling markets. 🟠 First of many strategies. The stBTC looping vault is the first, not the last. STX-based strategies, stablecoin and credit-based strategies, and structured yield products can all be built on the same foundation. External curators will be able to manage their own strategies on Stacks Vaults. Lending markets were the foundation. Vaults are what gets built on top. Stacks Vaults launch alongside stBTC, right before Stacks Bitcoin Staking goes live. Note: Stacks Vaults are separate from Bitcoin Collateral Vaults, Zest Protocol's upcoming flagship product that allows users to borrow against native BTC on any chain (e.g. Ethereum). More updates on Bitcoin Collateral Vaults follow shortly. Follow Zest Protocol on X or subscribe to our newsletter to be notified when levered Bitcoin Staking goes live.show more

🚨 CHINA JUST BUILT THE WORLD’S FIRST CONSUMER FLYING... BOAT — AND IT DOESN’T NEED A RUNWAY OR A MARINA. Meet the WaveFly 5X by Navee. It’s a wing-in-ground effect (WIG) craft that skims just centimeters above the water, using the aerodynamic cushion between the wing and the surface to fly with far less power than a normal aircraft. This is the first time this bizarre Cold War Soviet technology (the famous “Caspian Sea Monster” ekranoplans) has been turned into a personal vehicle for regular people. Why this matters: • Top speed: 85 km/h (53 mph) • Range: up to 80 km (50 miles) • Carries 1–2 people + 140 kg payload • Takes off and lands on water no runway, no marina required • Built with aerospace-grade carbon fiber and a tandem dual-wing design The deeper implication: For decades, WIG craft stayed trapped in military experiments and giant prototypes. Now a consumer company has shrunk the concept into something you could theoretically keep at a lakeside house. It sits in a strange new category: faster than a boat, but operating where normal aircraft can’t easily go. Bigger players are already moving in Singapore’s AirFish 8 is targeting commercial passenger service in 2026, and U.S. startup Regent is building a 12-seat electric version. The WaveFly 5X is the smallest and boldest signal yet that low-altitude, water-skimming mobility might actually go mainstream. The big remaining question is noise. Early footage suggests it’s loud. If that gets solved, this could become the ultimate weekend toy for lakes and calm coastal waters. Would you actually buy one of these if the price lands around $100k and the noise gets fixed? Follow for more wild personal mobility and next-gen transport tech.show more

When Politics Denies Water: How the PTI-Initiated Chapri (Mianwali)... Dam Water Supply Project Remains Stalled While 143,000 People Continue to Suffer: For generations, the people of the Khattak Belt in Tehsil Isa Khel, District Mianwali, have lived under the shadow of a severe and persistent drinking water crisis. The core Khattak Belt comprises the Union Councils of Tabi Sar, Tola Bangi Khel, Chapri, Kot Chandana, Sultan Khel and Wanjari. However, the wider area affected by this crisis and intended to benefit from Chapri Dam Water Supply Project extends across 87 villages&8 Union Councils, encompassing a population of approximately 143,752 people. Despite decades of promises, surveys, announcements&official acknowledgements of the problem, thousands of families continue to be deprived of reliable access to clean and safe drinking water. In many villages, residents remain dependent upon stagnant rainwater ponds& natural depressions, often shared by both humans&livestock. Women, children&elderly citizens are frequently forced to travel long distances under harsh weather conditions simply to collect water for their households. The same contaminated ponds serve as the only source of water for both people and animals. Situation is further aggravated by fact that groundwater lies at a depth of 800 feet and is often contaminated by harmful mineral deposits, rendering it unsuitable for human consumption. For countless families, access to safe drinking water remains a daily struggle rather than a basic right. What should be readily available in any modern society has become a constant source of hardship, anxiety and suffering. The consequences of this deprivation extend far beyond inconvenience. Unsafe water sources expose entire communities to waterborne diseases and serious health complications, undermine human dignity and place an enormous burden on already vulnerable households. Children grow up in conditions where access to clean water cannot be taken for granted, while women bear the disproportionate burden of securing water for their families. In a country where access to safe drinking water should be guaranteed, thousands of citizens continue to live in circumstances that no community should be forced to endure. Recognizing the gravity of this longstanding humanitarian crisis, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government led by former Prime Minister Imran Khan launched the Chapri Dam Water Supply Project in 2020 as a comprehensive and permanent solution to the chronic water shortage affecting the Khattak Belt and adjoining areas. The project was designed to deliver clean and safe drinking water to more than 143,000 residents through the construction of reservoirs, filtration facilities, transmission lines and an extensive distribution network supported by gravity-fed systems and solar-powered pumping stations. For the people of Isa Khel, this was far more than a development project. It represented hope, dignity and the prospect of finally ending a crisis that had persisted for generations. It was the first serious large-scale governmental initiative aimed at permanently resolving one of the most pressing humanitarian challenges facing the region. Following its launch, substantial progress was achieved and approximately Rs. 3.5 billion of public funds were invested in the project's execution. Significant portions of the infrastructure were completed, bringing the project within reach of transforming the lives of tens of thousands of residents. However, following the change in government, progress slowed dramatically and the project remains incomplete due to the non-release of the remaining funds required for its completion. Current PMLN Government in Punjab led by Maryam Nawaz wants to maintain status quo, they feel the project was introduced by Imran Khan and its completion will help PTI. Without realizing its 143,000 people suffering from non-availability of drinking water. This is pure political victimization.show more

Introducing Zest Protocol Stacks Swap, The ultimate swap experience... for the stacks.btc ecosystem. Live now. Stacks swap is built with more routes, faster backend and UX than any DEx product previously built on Stacks. Stacks Swap compares hundreds of liquidity pools across every major DEX on Stacks and returns the route with the best output for every trade. How it works: 🟠 Smart order routing. Large swaps split across multiple pools and multiple DEXes at once. When no direct pool exists, the router chains hops through intermediate tokens. The full route executes as a single transaction. 🟠 All or nothing. Every swap is one atomic Stacks transaction. Either the full route completes and you receive at least the guaranteed minimum, or the entire transaction reverts and no tokens leave your wallet. 🟠 Price protection enforced on-chain. Every swap carries a minimum-received amount written into the transaction itself. If the market moves before confirmation, the swap reverts instead of filling at a worse price. No app, server, or operator can override this check. 🟠 Non-custodial by design. Tokens move from your wallet, through the pools, and back to your wallet within a single transaction. No deposits, no balances, no accounts. 🟠 Zero additional fees. Pool fees are set by the DEXes and already priced into every quote. Zest Protocol charges nothing on top. 🟠 Supported liquidity sources: Bitflow , Velar, ALEX 🟧 No. 1 Bitcoin DeFi, and Arkadiko Protocol 🟧🗿, plus direct protocol conversion through Stacking DAO for stSTXbtc swaps. The quote you approve is the worst case you can receive. The swap fills at that amount or better, or it does not happen at all. We built Stacks Swap using Zest Protocol's existing internal infrastructure. When we realised that it performed much better than existing DEx products, we decided it made sense to release it for the benefit of the ecosystem. Happy swapping.show more
