George Town, Cayman Islands, July 22nd, 2024, Chainwire<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Zircuit<\/a>, a fully EVM-compatible ZK rollup with AI-enabled sequencer level security, today announced it raised a Mainnet funding round with participation from Binance Labs, Mirana Ventures, Amber Group, Selini, Robot Ventures, Nomad Capital, Borderless Capital, and prominent angel investors including the founders of Renzo, Etherfi, Pendle, Parallel, LayerZero, Axelar, F2Pool, Nonce, KelpDAO, ETHGlobal, Maelstrom, and more. With this new funding, Zircuit will be able to supercharge ecosystem growth and activity on its network, building upon a strong technical foundation and over $2.9 billion in staked assets.\u00a0<\/p>

Since 2022, the Zircuit team has built a new L2 network that introduces a revolutionary new approach to onchain security. Zircuit protects dApps and their users from blockchain vulnerabilities through its novel infrastructure that is armored by sequencer-level security and built-in, automated AI techniques to guard against smart contract exploits and malicious actors. The network\u2019s hybrid architecture also results in a fast, low-cost, and fully EVM-compatible ZK rollup, offering unparalleled security for users without compromising speed or compatibility.<\/p>

Bolstered by its strong security infrastructure, Zircuit plans to become a central hub for restaked assets that features unparalleled security and allows users to earn industry-leading yields natively. The landscape of liquid restaking is still nascent and rapidly evolving and new LRT protocols are constantly emerging, making it challenging for even experienced users to track and choose the best and the safest protocols for deploying their capital. Zircuit aims to address this problem by becoming a major liquidity hub for restaked assets (ETH, BTC, LSTs, and LRTs) where users can easily allocate their capital and have peace of mind knowing that funds are deployed to the safest and highest quality protocols.<\/p>

\u201cAt Binance Labs, we support projects that are innovating in Web3 and accelerating the blockchain industry. Through its integration of sequencer level security, Zircuit is providing a more secure L2 solution and we look forward to watching it grow and develop further,\u201d said Yi He, Co-Founder of Binance and Head of Binance Labs.<\/strong><\/blockquote>
\"Security has been a persistent issue in the crypto space, with breaches occurring almost daily. Zircuit, founded by top security veterans, leads the industry with its best-in-class security architecture. The team\u2019s clear growth strategy has led to explosive growth in assets locked since launch,\" said Erick Zhang, Managing Partner of Nomad Capital. <\/strong>\"We are excited to support and continue working with the Zircuit team.\"<\/blockquote>
\u201cAs the web3 space accelerates toward mainstream adoption, Zircuit will empower this growth by providing the necessary infrastructure to onboard the masses. Our years of research into rollups and blockchain security have allowed us to build an L2 network with unparalleled security and scalability. We\u2019re proud to have the support of Binance Labs, Mirana Ventures, and our other investors as we approach our first phase of Mainnet and establish Zircuit as a cornerstone in the industry,\u201d stated Martin Derka, co-founder of Zircuit.<\/strong><\/blockquote>

Zircuit\u2019s Mainnet Phase 1 is set to launch in the coming weeks.<\/p>

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, July 21st, 2024, Chainwire<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

SoMon<\/a>, a decentralized Web3 forum with a vision to create a space for user-owned content and connections, recently launched its app on Base and has already gained more than 300,000 on-chain transactions in 14 days since its launch, making it the most active and fastest-growing social app in the Web3 space.<\/p>

SoMon, short for Social Monster, allows users to monetize and create communities (Tribes) around their favorite topics, passions, creators, and fandoms. It is the first app built on OpenSocial Protocol<\/a>, a composable infrastructure layer for building social applications, and also the first Web3 social app that is truly gasless, allowing it to lower the barrier of entry and onboard users beyond the crypto community.\u00a0<\/p>

Having launched its mobile app on 19 June 2024, around a month ago, it has garnered over 30,000 on-chain registrations in just two weeks. Today, the community is growing rapidly, with over 2 million social engagements among 300+ different Tribes (communities) and its 80,000+ users.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cCrypto is all about community, but instead of creating communities for users, we want communities to be built by users. SoMon is a user-curated space where people are able to connect with one another while taking charge and reaping the benefits of their own social achievements at the same time,\u201d said Sean Tao, CEO & Co-Founder of SoMon.<\/strong><\/blockquote>

SoMon users started minting their own Tribes using various tools and fragmented ownership powered by NFT technology after the new feature was released on 17 July 2024. Users create content, and the platform is monetized through a tool called \u2018Megaphone\u2019, allowing users to pay for promotional visibility, with the revenue being redistributed to Tribe owners and stakeholders.<\/p>

SoMon is currently in its first season, ending on 31 July 2024. In this season, users compete to gain points through interactions and earn badges by climbing to different leagues. At the end of the season, SoMon will officially launch its community token, $OwO<\/a>, which will be airdropped to the community at the end of the first season, with the first airdrop releasing 3% of its total supply this 1 August 2024, and 1% of its total supply for the subsequent seasons.<\/p>

During upcoming seasons, SoMon is focused on activating the community economy via Tribe Summer campaign for users to create and engage with their bot-free community.<\/p>

About SoMon<\/strong><\/p>

Social Monster<\/a> (SoMon) is an open topic-based Web3 social app forum powered by OpenSocial Protocol<\/a>. It serves as a space where users can create vibrant and engaging communities (Tribes) centered around their passions and fandoms. SoMon ensures that Tribes, content, and social connections are wholly owned by users.\u00a0<\/p>

PEXX<\/a>, a pioneering fintech startup specialising in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, today announced the successful closure of a $4.5 million seed funding. This significant investment will propel the development of the company's innovative stablecoin-to-fiat payment platform<\/a>, set to revolutionise the way people transfer currencies across borders.<\/p>

The funding included 1 round led by TNB Aura, with participation from global early-stage VC Antler, plus further strategic investment from EMO Capital, early backers of Filecoin and other notable VC and crypto investors highlighting strong investor confidence in PEXX's vision and potential.\u00a0<\/p>

San Francisco, USA\/California, July 15th, 2024, Chainwire<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

The doors are now open for Web3 and Web2 developers to build on Constellation Network<\/a>\u2019s long-awaited Hypergraph distributed ledger technology - in development for the past several years under various contracts with the US Department of Defense<\/a>.<\/p>

Constellation\u2019s Global Metagraph Hackathon<\/a> is a fully virtual event, free to enter, running from July 15th until September 9th, 2024. A total of $100,000 USD equivalent in $DAG (Constellation Network\u2019s cryptocurrency) will be distributed to winners across several categories encompassing metagraph development and on-chain tooling, with the biggest single prize of $25,000 going to the most successful Metagraph.<\/p>

With its Hackathon, Constellation officially unveils its \u201cmetagraph\u201d application layer technology that runs on top of its Hypergraph global consensus layer to a worldwide audience. A metagraph can be any type of Layer 1 decentralized application (dApp) network or legacy Web2 network with its own internal business logic. Other blockchains can even be metagraphs on top of Constellation\u2019s Hypergraph.<\/p>

\u201cConstellation\u2019s Hypergraph is the blockchain of blockchains,\u201d says Ben Jorgensen, CEO of Constellation Network. \u201cThe best way forward with Web3 and blockchain technology for all of us is interoperability and collaboration across chains and communities. There are many of us separately building these networks that can support things like decentralized AI, tokenized assets, IoT edge computing, decentralized finance and many other Web3 creations that seem to be popping up everywhere.\u201d<\/blockquote>
\u201cBut the Hypergraph?\u201d Ben continues, \u201cThis technology can link them all together, make everything interoperable, give them an underlying infrastructure that can secure their networks and validate their data flows.\u201d<\/blockquote>

Panasonic<\/a> and IBM<\/a> have partnered with Constellation, along with SIMBA Chain<\/a>, the C14 cryptocurrency on-ramping service<\/a>, the Stardust Collective<\/a>, and the National DigiFoundry<\/a>, led by members from the US National Science Foundation<\/a>, the US Space Force<\/a>, and US Department of the Treasury<\/a>, to support the development of innovative new metagraph technologies that interoperate in ways we have yet to see in the space.\u00a0<\/p>

Constellation\u2019s fast and feeless Hypergraph network is uniquely designed using DAG-based infrastructure and microservices to create an underlying digital transfer layer with a flexible structure and application network overlay (metagraph). This facilitates interoperability and composability across both Web3 and legacy Web2 networks, offering network security, data validation, scalability, and simplified onboarding that businesses and governments need for adoption.<\/p>

\u201cInteroperability\u201d is a buzz word in the Web3 space, it can be explained as all the networks that need to talk to other networks - like a smart factory or city where multiple networks of IoT devices communicate and share data, each with its own unique metagraph network communicating across the underlying Hypergraph.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019ve been waiting for this year since we started the company. It has always been our vision to have developer friendly and openly available blockchain tools for the masses. This hackathon marks the beginning of many expressions metagraphs have to offer and there seems to be no limit to the vast list of use cases. I am thankful for the team who made this possible as well as the partners who stepped up and helped make this a reality.\u201d<\/blockquote>

- Benjamin Diggles, Chief Strategy Officer\u00a0<\/p>

Constellation's metagraphs can work with any data type, interface directly with external data sources, accept existing Scala or Java libraries, give complete control over validation and consensus logic within the network, and scale to the level applications need through multilayered microservice architecture.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWith technology vetted by the rigorous standards of the US Department of Defense and with the collaboration of industry giants like Panasonic and IBM, this hackathon is more than a competition; it's an invitation for developers worldwide to pioneer the next generation of decentralized applications and revolutionize the digital landscape.\"<\/blockquote>

-Altif Brown, Global Community Architect<\/p>

Judging<\/strong><\/p>

Hackathon submissions will be judged Sept 16-23, 2024, and winners will be announced on or around Sept. 30th. Hackathon judges include:<\/p>

George Town, Cayman Islands, July 22nd, 2024, Chainwire<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Zircuit<\/a>, a fully EVM-compatible ZK rollup with AI-enabled sequencer level security, today announced it raised a Mainnet funding round with participation from Binance Labs, Mirana Ventures, Amber Group, Selini, Robot Ventures, Nomad Capital, Borderless Capital, and prominent angel investors including the founders of Renzo, Etherfi, Pendle, Parallel, LayerZero, Axelar, F2Pool, Nonce, KelpDAO, ETHGlobal, Maelstrom, and more. With this new funding, Zircuit will be able to supercharge ecosystem growth and activity on its network, building upon a strong technical foundation and over $2.9 billion in staked assets.\u00a0<\/p>

Since 2022, the Zircuit team has built a new L2 network that introduces a revolutionary new approach to onchain security. Zircuit protects dApps and their users from blockchain vulnerabilities through its novel infrastructure that is armored by sequencer-level security and built-in, automated AI techniques to guard against smart contract exploits and malicious actors. The network\u2019s hybrid architecture also results in a fast, low-cost, and fully EVM-compatible ZK rollup, offering unparalleled security for users without compromising speed or compatibility.<\/p>

Bolstered by its strong security infrastructure, Zircuit plans to become a central hub for restaked assets that features unparalleled security and allows users to earn industry-leading yields natively. The landscape of liquid restaking is still nascent and rapidly evolving and new LRT protocols are constantly emerging, making it challenging for even experienced users to track and choose the best and the safest protocols for deploying their capital. Zircuit aims to address this problem by becoming a major liquidity hub for restaked assets (ETH, BTC, LSTs, and LRTs) where users can easily allocate their capital and have peace of mind knowing that funds are deployed to the safest and highest quality protocols.<\/p>

\u201cAt Binance Labs, we support projects that are innovating in Web3 and accelerating the blockchain industry. Through its integration of sequencer level security, Zircuit is providing a more secure L2 solution and we look forward to watching it grow and develop further,\u201d said Yi He, Co-Founder of Binance and Head of Binance Labs.<\/strong><\/blockquote>
\"Security has been a persistent issue in the crypto space, with breaches occurring almost daily. Zircuit, founded by top security veterans, leads the industry with its best-in-class security architecture. The team\u2019s clear growth strategy has led to explosive growth in assets locked since launch,\" said Erick Zhang, Managing Partner of Nomad Capital. <\/strong>\"We are excited to support and continue working with the Zircuit team.\"<\/blockquote>
\u201cAs the web3 space accelerates toward mainstream adoption, Zircuit will empower this growth by providing the necessary infrastructure to onboard the masses. Our years of research into rollups and blockchain security have allowed us to build an L2 network with unparalleled security and scalability. We\u2019re proud to have the support of Binance Labs, Mirana Ventures, and our other investors as we approach our first phase of Mainnet and establish Zircuit as a cornerstone in the industry,\u201d stated Martin Derka, co-founder of Zircuit.<\/strong><\/blockquote>

Zircuit\u2019s Mainnet Phase 1 is set to launch in the coming weeks.<\/p>

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, July 21st, 2024, Chainwire<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

SoMon<\/a>, a decentralized Web3 forum with a vision to create a space for user-owned content and connections, recently launched its app on Base and has already gained more than 300,000 on-chain transactions in 14 days since its launch, making it the most active and fastest-growing social app in the Web3 space.<\/p>

SoMon, short for Social Monster, allows users to monetize and create communities (Tribes) around their favorite topics, passions, creators, and fandoms. It is the first app built on OpenSocial Protocol<\/a>, a composable infrastructure layer for building social applications, and also the first Web3 social app that is truly gasless, allowing it to lower the barrier of entry and onboard users beyond the crypto community.\u00a0<\/p>

Having launched its mobile app on 19 June 2024, around a month ago, it has garnered over 30,000 on-chain registrations in just two weeks. Today, the community is growing rapidly, with over 2 million social engagements among 300+ different Tribes (communities) and its 80,000+ users.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cCrypto is all about community, but instead of creating communities for users, we want communities to be built by users. SoMon is a user-curated space where people are able to connect with one another while taking charge and reaping the benefits of their own social achievements at the same time,\u201d said Sean Tao, CEO & Co-Founder of SoMon.<\/strong><\/blockquote>

SoMon users started minting their own Tribes using various tools and fragmented ownership powered by NFT technology after the new feature was released on 17 July 2024. Users create content, and the platform is monetized through a tool called \u2018Megaphone\u2019, allowing users to pay for promotional visibility, with the revenue being redistributed to Tribe owners and stakeholders.<\/p>

SoMon is currently in its first season, ending on 31 July 2024. In this season, users compete to gain points through interactions and earn badges by climbing to different leagues. At the end of the season, SoMon will officially launch its community token, $OwO<\/a>, which will be airdropped to the community at the end of the first season, with the first airdrop releasing 3% of its total supply this 1 August 2024, and 1% of its total supply for the subsequent seasons.<\/p>

During upcoming seasons, SoMon is focused on activating the community economy via Tribe Summer campaign for users to create and engage with their bot-free community.<\/p>

About SoMon<\/strong><\/p>

Social Monster<\/a> (SoMon) is an open topic-based Web3 social app forum powered by OpenSocial Protocol<\/a>. It serves as a space where users can create vibrant and engaging communities (Tribes) centered around their passions and fandoms. SoMon ensures that Tribes, content, and social connections are wholly owned by users.\u00a0<\/p>

San Francisco, USA\/California, July 15th, 2024, Chainwire<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

The doors are now open for Web3 and Web2 developers to build on Constellation Network<\/a>\u2019s long-awaited Hypergraph distributed ledger technology - in development for the past several years under various contracts with the US Department of Defense<\/a>.<\/p>

Constellation\u2019s Global Metagraph Hackathon<\/a> is a fully virtual event, free to enter, running from July 15th until September 9th, 2024. A total of $100,000 USD equivalent in $DAG (Constellation Network\u2019s cryptocurrency) will be distributed to winners across several categories encompassing metagraph development and on-chain tooling, with the biggest single prize of $25,000 going to the most successful Metagraph.<\/p>

With its Hackathon, Constellation officially unveils its \u201cmetagraph\u201d application layer technology that runs on top of its Hypergraph global consensus layer to a worldwide audience. A metagraph can be any type of Layer 1 decentralized application (dApp) network or legacy Web2 network with its own internal business logic. Other blockchains can even be metagraphs on top of Constellation\u2019s Hypergraph.<\/p>

\u201cConstellation\u2019s Hypergraph is the blockchain of blockchains,\u201d says Ben Jorgensen, CEO of Constellation Network. \u201cThe best way forward with Web3 and blockchain technology for all of us is interoperability and collaboration across chains and communities. There are many of us separately building these networks that can support things like decentralized AI, tokenized assets, IoT edge computing, decentralized finance and many other Web3 creations that seem to be popping up everywhere.\u201d<\/blockquote>
\u201cBut the Hypergraph?\u201d Ben continues, \u201cThis technology can link them all together, make everything interoperable, give them an underlying infrastructure that can secure their networks and validate their data flows.\u201d<\/blockquote>

Panasonic<\/a> and IBM<\/a> have partnered with Constellation, along with SIMBA Chain<\/a>, the C14 cryptocurrency on-ramping service<\/a>, the Stardust Collective<\/a>, and the National DigiFoundry<\/a>, led by members from the US National Science Foundation<\/a>, the US Space Force<\/a>, and US Department of the Treasury<\/a>, to support the development of innovative new metagraph technologies that interoperate in ways we have yet to see in the space.\u00a0<\/p>

Constellation\u2019s fast and feeless Hypergraph network is uniquely designed using DAG-based infrastructure and microservices to create an underlying digital transfer layer with a flexible structure and application network overlay (metagraph). This facilitates interoperability and composability across both Web3 and legacy Web2 networks, offering network security, data validation, scalability, and simplified onboarding that businesses and governments need for adoption.<\/p>

\u201cInteroperability\u201d is a buzz word in the Web3 space, it can be explained as all the networks that need to talk to other networks - like a smart factory or city where multiple networks of IoT devices communicate and share data, each with its own unique metagraph network communicating across the underlying Hypergraph.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019ve been waiting for this year since we started the company. It has always been our vision to have developer friendly and openly available blockchain tools for the masses. This hackathon marks the beginning of many expressions metagraphs have to offer and there seems to be no limit to the vast list of use cases. I am thankful for the team who made this possible as well as the partners who stepped up and helped make this a reality.\u201d<\/blockquote>

- Benjamin Diggles, Chief Strategy Officer\u00a0<\/p>

Constellation's metagraphs can work with any data type, interface directly with external data sources, accept existing Scala or Java libraries, give complete control over validation and consensus logic within the network, and scale to the level applications need through multilayered microservice architecture.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWith technology vetted by the rigorous standards of the US Department of Defense and with the collaboration of industry giants like Panasonic and IBM, this hackathon is more than a competition; it's an invitation for developers worldwide to pioneer the next generation of decentralized applications and revolutionize the digital landscape.\"<\/blockquote>

-Altif Brown, Global Community Architect<\/p>

Judging<\/strong><\/p>

Hackathon submissions will be judged Sept 16-23, 2024, and winners will be announced on or around Sept. 30th. Hackathon judges include:<\/p>
