XDC Network is Now Omnichain with LayerZero’s OFT Standard We’re excited to share that the XDC token is now live as an Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) via LayerZero , enabling seamless movement of assets across multiple blockchains without the need for wrapping or intermediaries. Here’s how it works: tokens are locked or burned on the source chain, a message is securely sent via LayerZero, and the same number of tokens are minted or unlocked on the destination chain. The result? A single, unified token supply across all supported networks. This integration opens up powerful new possibilities for developers and enterprises to build interoperable applications with greater trust, faster execution, and simplified cross-chain communication. We invite builders in the Real World Asset (RWA), DeFi, tokenization, and payment infrastructure to leverage XDC’s interoperable architecture to scale globally and build cross-chain solutions. #XDCNetwork #LayerZero #BlockchainInnovation #CrossChain #Omnichain #Web3 #Tokenization #RWA #DeFi #Interoperability

AI Is Moving Beyond “Generating Videos” — Toward “Generating Worlds” Over the past two years, AI video models have advanced at an astonishing pace. From Runway and Pika to Sora and Veo, AI-generated videos have become increasingly realistic and more consistent with the physical laws of the real world. Many people believe the next objective is simply to generate videos that are longer, sharper, and more lifelike. But if we take a step back, we can see that the real transformation is not happening in video itself. It is happening in world models. What Is a World Model? In 1943, psychologist Kenneth Craik proposed an idea that would influence artificial intelligence research for decades. He argued that the human brain does not merely react to the outside world. Instead, it maintains an internal model of how the world works. Because we have this internal model, we can predict the outcome of an action before we actually take it. Before crossing a road, we estimate whether a car will pass by. Before catching a ball, we predict its trajectory. These abilities come from continuously simulating the world in our minds, rather than relying entirely on trial and error. This idea later became known by a more formal term: World Model. A world model does not describe a single image or a fixed video clip. It is an internal representation capable of continuously simulating the rules and dynamics of the real world. Why Is AI Research Turning Toward World Models? Because predicting “what comes next” is becoming increasingly central to how AI systems work. Language models predict the next token. Image models predict the next step in the denoising process. Video models predict the next frame. A world model, however, attempts to predict something broader: What should the world look like in the next moment? In 2018, David Ha and Jürgen Schmidhuber proposed in their paper World Models that an intelligent agent could first learn a model of the world, and then use that internal model to plan its actions. The Dreamer series later demonstrated that many complex tasks could be learned by training agents inside an “imagined world.” At the same time, the development of video models such as Sora and Veo led researchers to another realization: A model capable of continuously generating video has already learned, at least implicitly, many of the rules governing the real world. As a result, these two research directions have gradually begun to converge. But Video Is Not Yet a World This is where the distinction is often misunderstood. For a world model to support meaningful real-time interaction, it must solve several critical problems. Most video models today are essentially answering one question: What should the next frame look like? A true world model needs to answer much more: What happens if I take one step forward? If I walk behind a building and then return, will the building still be there? If I suddenly change the camera angle, will the entire space remain consistent? If I enter a command such as: “Summon a dragon.” Will the world respond immediately? In other words, a world model must do more than generate content. It must understand space. It must understand time. It must understand causality. And it must understand interaction. Moving from watching to participating is where the real difficulty of world models begins. World Models Are Entering the Interactive Era One of the latest attempts in this direction is Alaya World, recently open-sourced by Alaya World, or Alaya Lab. Instead of generating a fixed video clip, it generates a world that users can explore in real time. Users can begin with text, an image, or a video, enter the generated scene, move freely through it, and introduce new prompts at any moment during generation. The world responds immediately. According to the publicly released information, Alaya World provides: Real-time streaming generation at 720p and 24 FPS Stable continuous exploration for more than one minute The ability to switch prompts and trigger skills or events during generation Model weights and inference code released under the Apache 2.0 License Training code and datasets planned for future release What makes these capabilities important is not simply the technical specifications. It is that the generated “world” can now support continuous interaction. The official demo shows that users can genuinely control, transform, and explore the generated environment. AI Is Evolving From a Tool Into an Environment Over the past few years, most discussions around AI have focused on content generation. Generating text. Generating images. Generating videos. But world models raise a fundamentally different question: Can AI generate an environment that people can inhabit, explore, and continuously evolve? If the answer is yes, the impact will extend far beyond video generation. Game development, robotics training, embodied intelligence, digital twins, virtual production, and many other fields could be transformed by the development of world models. World models are still at a very early stage. Yet from Craik’s proposal of an internal mental model more than eighty years ago to the emergence of today’s interactive world-generation systems, a clear evolutionary path is beginning to take shape. Perhaps what AI is ultimately learning has never been limited to images, videos, or language. Perhaps it is learning the world itself. References GitHub: Technical Report:

I’m excited to introduce Artist Commons, a year-long, online development program for early- and mid-career artists. Applications open next week, and the program starts in mid-January. ➤ Do you want to learn more about how to navigate the business of art? ➤ Do you want an artist community invested in your longterm growth? ➤ Do you want real feedback on your work instead of just some kind words from your friends? If you’ve been looking for a way to level up your art practice without spending an arm and a leg to get an MFA, Artist Commons is for you. Artists accepted into the program are paired with a mentor and a small cohort of peers at their level for weekly feedback sessions. Then tune in every month to lectures on the business of art, craft workshops from visiting artists, talks on various modern and contemporary art movements, and guest speakers working across the art world. You’ll build deep community with your fellow members through online meetups including regular reading groups, close looking exercises, and forum discussions, as well as quarterly IRL meetups in select cities. Developing this has been so inspiring and I’m so excited to build the community I wish I’d had when I was coming up. I can’t wait to tell you about all the amazing guests we have lined up. If you’d like to go into next year with a clear sense of purpose for your art practice, we’d love to have you. Below is the website where you can learn more about the program. Follow Artist Commons on socials. And sign up for the email list to be the first to know when applications open next week.

$Machine Tokenization is HERE 🔥 Introducing the world's first Machine Real-World Asset (#RWA) Tokenization platform, by Teneo, powered by peaq 🌎 Up until now, real-world apps (#DePINs) have been limited by hardware costs. Individuals can often afford WiFi routers or smartphones, but fleets of vehicles or wind turbines? There's no way to build a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (#DePIN) which revolves around such large and expensive hardware... Or is there? 🤨 Enter the Machine Tokenization Platform⚡️ The platform exists to lower the barrier to entry for communities to build virtually any #DePIN. Imagine being able to fund, own, and earn from fleets of autonomous cars or robots, vertical robo-farms, ferry boats, #VTOLs... The possibilities are endless, and this era starts now. Tokenized Teslas ✅ ELOOP has already successfully tokenized a fleet of Teslas for a car-sharing pilot project in Vienna 🇦🇹 which saw the community earn revenue as the Teslas were used. Check out these videos 🎞️ Web3 Tesla-Sharing: You drive, everyone earns: Same, but better. | Web3 Car-Sharing Demo by ELOOP & peaq: With the success of this initiative showcasing the soundness of the underlying model, ELOOP is now building a Machine RWA tokenization platform on peaq to replicate this approach at scale 📈 DePIN Layer-1 Synergies 🧲 Existing and prospective DePINs can leverage the Machine Tokenization platform to lower the barrier to hardware adoption for their users, enabling all kinds of new DePIN use cases on peaq 🦾 A range of Web2 and Web3 projects are already exploring pilot projects on the platform, including Dabba Network 🟨, a connectivity DePIN working to deliver Web access to the unconnected. Already testing on krest 🔥 ELOOP is already testing the platform on krest, peaq’s canary network, and plans to launch it on the peaq mainnet, which will go live this year. “We’re excited to move beyond tokenizing Teslas and offer this exciting, proven model to businesses and communities. Machine RWA tokenization opens up a new era of fractional ownership and participation in the value generated by machines, and we are happy to be chartering this path forward with peaq.” - Nico Prugger, co-founder, ELOOP Read all about it:$

Welcome to the world’s first On-chain vehicle Reservation System & Marketplace! But what does that mean to consumers and the automotive industry as a whole? 🚘🌎 As with all new tech, there is an education process. The internet made people’s lives easier... our Marketplace will do the same for automotive buyers. It offers numerous benefits for car buyers that until now, did not exist. Top 10 benefits of using the DeLorean Marketplace and why it will change how you purchase your next vehicle: 1. Peer-to-Peer Ownership Transfer 👥 Unlike traditional manufacturers, DeLorean enables fully transparent, peer-to-peer trading of reservation slots via NFTs - no dealers, no middlemen, and no hidden fees. 2. Real-Time Liquidity for Build Slots 🏦 Most car brands treat reservations as non-transferable or refundable only under strict conditions. The DeLorean Marketplace allows users to resell their build slots at market-driven prices, creating real liquidity. 3. Blockchain-Verified Ownership & History Build slot ownership, transfer history, and transaction details are recorded immutably on the Sui blockchain, drastically reducing fraud and improving trust ✅ 4. Staking Incentives for Holders💰 By staking $DMC with their build slot NFT, users earn rewards while in queue … an unheard-of incentive in traditional car reservation systems. 5. Flexible Exit for Buyers Under Financial Pressure😌Traditional reservation holders have no options if their financial situation changes. DeLorean enables resale on-chain, allowing owners to recover value if they can’t follow through with the purchase. 6. Collector & Speculator-Friendly📈 Buyers can trade their reservation multiple times without ever taking delivery of the vehicle, making it attractive for collectors, investors, and Web3-native users. 7. Transparent Pricing and Offers⚡️ Through features like bidding, collection offers, and open listings, users engage in a dynamic, transparent marketplace - unlike opaque dealer pricing or pre-order queues. 8. First-of-Its-Kind On-Chain Vehicle Marketplace DeLorean is the first automotive brand to offer an end-to-end on-chain reservation and commerce experience, giving it a significant technological advantage over legacy automakers👍 9. Fiat or crypto payment options 🪙 Over 560M people around the world hold or trade crypto currency. For those looking for an alternative payment option to fiat, DeLorean now provides that option. The digital asset community is far too big to be overlooked by traditional automakers. 10. It’s the DeLorean way to be ahead of its time and to change norms🦾 What may be a small education process now, may just be the future of the way vehicles are sold. Today marks the beginning of a fresh, transparent and community driven approach to how automakers should treat their loyal customers. Welcome to the DeLorean Reservation System & Marketplace DeLorean Motor Company powered by DeLorean Labs built on Sui "Web3 isn’t the obstacle—it’s the upgrade. DeLorean is simply the first to drive us there."

What is Pi App Studio’s New creation Pricing Model? Pi Network (Pi Network) has announced a major change to how creators will pay to build and edit apps through Pi App Studio, with the new pricing taking effect on August 24, 2026. Until now, Pi heavily subsidized App Studio for all creators. Under the introductory model, creators paid just 0.25 Pi to create an app and another 0.25 Pi to edit one. But Pi says the actual cost of providing AI-powered app creation is significantly higher than what creators were paying. That means Pi Network has been covering much of the difference. Now, after collecting data on how creators use App Studio, Pi is changing that approach. So, what exactly is changing? (1) Standard App Studio pricing is coming From August 24, creators will face a standard creation and editing price that more closely reflects the underlying cost of the AI services used. The exact price will not necessarily be fixed. Pi says it may vary depending on the resources required to create or edit an app. Importantly, Pi says it will not add a markup to the underlying AI service costs. (2) Some creators can still receive subsidized pricing The biggest change is that Pi is not completely removing its subsidies. Instead, subsidies will become more selective. Creators whose apps attract a sufficient number of real users can continue receiving the previous subsidized pricing. The focus will be on apps demonstrating genuine utility and usage from distinct users, rather than activity generated by the creator alone. (3) Pi wants creators to build useful apps This is arguably the most important part of the new model. Pi says not every app created through App Studio becomes something that other people actually use. Some apps are created simply for experimentation, testing or potentially spam. Continuing to subsidize every creation equally could therefore consume significant network resources without producing meaningful utility. The new model is designed to change that incentive. Creators now have a stronger reason to build apps that solve problems, attract users and provide value to the Pi ecosystem. (4) Subsidized pricing is not permanent or guaranteed Qualifying for the subsidy will not be a one-time decision. Pi plans to regularly review creator eligibility using newly generated data. A creator who does not qualify when the new pricing model launches could qualify later if their app attracts more genuine users. Likewise, the qualification criteria, pricing structure and number of creator tiers could change as App Studio develops. (5) Existing creators have a short window to improve The new pricing model begins on August 24, 2026. Before then, existing creators can improve their apps and encourage more Pioneers to use them. Pi specifically recommends improving an app's usefulness and usability, collecting feedback and continuing to build products that solve real problems. Pi wants its resources going toward apps that people actually use. At its core, the change turns App Studio from a broadly subsidized experimentation tool into a more usage-driven ecosystem.
