- Subzero Labs emerges from stealth after raising a $20M initial financing round led by Pantera Capital with participation from Variant, Coinbase Ventures, Hashed, Susquehanna Crypto, Mysten Labs, Fabric Ventures, Mirana Ventures amongst others.
- Developer-first founders come from Mysten Labs and Diem and have attracted top talent from Meta, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google, TikTok, Citadel, VMWare, Solana, EigenLayer, Coinbase, NEAR Protocol and more.
- Subzero Labs is building Rialo, a radical rethinking of decentralized programmable networks that empowers builders to create and launch internet‑scale decentralized applications, without the constraints of legacy network architecture.
Today, Subzero Labs announces its emergence from stealth with a $20 million initial financing round led by Pantera Capital, with participation from other top-tier investors including Variant, Coinbase Ventures, Hashed, Susquehanna Crypto, Mysten Labs, Fabric Ventures, Flowdesk, Mirana Ventures, and more.
Founded by Ade Adepoju and Lu Zhang, early engineers at Mysten Labs who contributed to the Sui network, Subzero Labs draws on deep technical expertise from both Web2 and Web3. Prior, Zhang built Diem, Meta’s crypto initiative, and large-scale AI/ML infrastructure at Meta and Google, while Adepoju developed distributed systems at Netflix and advanced microchips at AMD. With years of deep involvement in multiple layer-1 protocols and decentralized applications, Adepoju and Zhang identified a significant gap between the goals of network infrastructure and app developers; a gap they will close by rebuilding decentralized infrastructure from first principles.
The Subzero Labs team has attracted top talent from Meta, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google, TikTok, Citadel, VMware, Solana, EigenLayer, Polkadot, Coinbase, NEAR Protocol, and other industry-leading organizations.
For years, blockchain teams have obsessed over raw transaction speed. But high TPS alone doesn’t make decentralized apps robust or useful. Without a seamless interface to real‑world data and services, even the fastest blockchains produce apps that feel disconnected, high friction, boring to users, and frustrating for builders. Until we fix real‑world integration and free builders from tangled and fragmented infrastructure, decentralized apps will remain clunky, costly, and painfully slow to create.
Subzero Labs is building Rialo, a network that gives developers the building blocks to create global-scale decentralized apps, without integrating brittle third-party services. Rialo makes it possible to build decentralized apps with the responsiveness and reactivity of Web2 at a fraction of the complexity by offering native web connectivity, event-driven transactions, built-in privacy, among others while remaining infinitely scalable.
Rialo leverages RISC-V architecture and adds Solana VM compatibility, letting teams deploy existing programs out of the box while unlocking a richer feature set. From tokenized assets, to prediction markets, to global trading platforms, to AI agent orchestration, developers can build with familiar tools while delivering apps that outperform their centralized counterparts in both cost and user experience.
“Instead of shipping innovative products, too many brilliant teams are burning their runway gluing various pieces of poorly designed infrastructure together,” said Ade Adepoju, Co-Founder of Subzero Labs. “We believe infrastructure should be invisible, fast, intuitive, and scalable. Rialo solves this and unlocks entirely new classes of applications that simply weren’t possible before.”
“Rialo is the only full stack network for real world applications – built by leading industry developers for developers,” said Paul Veradittakit, Managing Partner of Pantera Capital. “It’s rare to see such a high concentration of talent to drive this vision. We believe under Ade and Lu’s leadership the Subzero Labs will deliver the infrastructure that finally empowers developers to create decentralized products that are intuitive, useful, and relevant to everyday users.”
“What stood out to us was how Rialo makes off-chain interaction feel native — not bolted on,” said Baek Kim, General Partner of Hashed. “With the devnet already demonstrating event-driven execution and native web integrations, we see early signs of a system that can lower the barrier for real-world use cases. Subzero Labs isn’t just optimizing infra — they’re rethinking how developers and external systems actually connect to it,”
“We are excited about the opportunity that comes with the growing range of real world assets.” said Bart Smith, Global Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Susquehanna International Group (SIG).
Rialo private devnet is now live. Subzero is currently onboarding early development partners. Developers interested in testing Rialo ahead of its public launch can join the waitlist.
About Subzero Labs
Subzero Labs is rearchitecting decentralized infrastructure to deliver network power without legacy constraints. The company’s flagship network, Rialo, combines real world connectivity and event driven execution, enabling teams to ship production ready applications with the same ease as Web2 development. Founded by veterans of Meta, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google, TikTok, Citadel, Mysten Labs, Solana, and other leading protocols, Subzero Labs is transforming decentralized network into full stack product platforms, unlocking real world use cases for developers, enterprises, and consumers.

Powered by $HAMIE tokenomics and Abstract Chain, the game marks a major step in the platform’s mission to transform digital culture.
The Hamieverse, a purpose-driven Web3 ecosystem combining gaming, AI mentorship, and immersive storytelling, announced today the development of its first on-chain game, to be built on Abstract Chain. The new game represents a major milestone in Hamieverse’s mission to fuse entertainment with self-development and real-world impact.
The upcoming title is designed to merge immersive storytelling with blockchain-powered gameplay, drawing from the rich lore of the Hamieverse comic series and forthcoming novel. Built on Abstract Chain, the game leverages the platform’s robust front-end and back-end capabilities to deliver a seamless user experience.
“Every day, billions run in circles chasing progress that never comes. Buried in debt, drained by meaningless jobs, and starved of purpose, we’ve accepted the trap. Hamie was born to shatter it,” said Mateen Mohammed, the Hamieverse’s founder.
Purpose-Driven Gaming in Web3
In contrast to many blockchain games criticized for unbalanced mechanics, the Hamieverse is committed to fair, skill-based systems that reward strategy, learning, and consistent engagement.
Each gameplay element connects to a four-stage philosophical framework representing personal transformation and the Hamieverse’s ethos:
- Asleep: Most people accept the trap without questioning it. The Hamieverse meets them where they are, using entertainment as an entry-point. Through its gaming universe and multimedia saga, it sparks curiosity and invites deeper reflection.
- Awakening: For those beginning to question the system, courses and curated tools guide users toward clarity, financial literacy, and empowerment.
- Activation: When users are ready to take action, Hamieverse provides a startup launchpad to help turn mission-aligned ideas into reality.
- Ascension: For those who have broken free and want to serve, the Hamieverse Foundation directs their energy toward global humanitarian initiatives that deliver measurable change.
To support this journey, Hamie AI functions as a personal digital mentor, offering mindset support, tailored insights, and behavioral tools to accelerate progress.
Built on Abstract Chain
The decision to build on Abstract Chain was guided by a shared belief that solving blockchain’s user experience problem will finally bring mass adoption. “We chose Abstract because it aligns perfectly with both our vision and our standards,” said the Hamieverse founder. “Our goal is to create meaningful, engaging, and accessible experiences. Abstract’s tech stack allows us to onboard Web2 without friction or pain points. We’re not just launching on a blockchain, we’re aligning with a movement.”
Tokenomics Designed for Integrity
The Hamieverse ecosystem will be powered by the $HAMIE token, with a model intentionally designed to prioritize contribution over speculation. Features include:
- No private sale, VCs, or insiders
- Built-in deflationary mechanics: 50% of all ecosystem revenue is used to buy and burn tokens
- Earning models including Learn-to-Earn, Impact-to-Earn, and Engage-to-Earn
August Launches and Real-World Impact
The first on-chain game is part of a broader August release slate that includes:
- The launch of Hamie AI
- The release of the Hamie Unchained Saga comic series
- The First Arc of the Hamie Unchained Saga Novel
- The first Quest Campaign on Galaxe
- A mobile game built in Telegram
Meanwhile, the Hamieverse Foundation has broken ground on its most ambitious mission yet: a solar-powered deepwater well in rural Africa, bringing sustainable clean water to over 2,000 people. This project exemplifies the belief that digital culture can produce real-world positive impact.
“I was drawn to the blockchain space over eight years ago, inspired by a groundbreaking technology that promised to reshape the world for the better,” said the Hamieverse founder. “It spoke of decentralizing power, enabling radical transparency, resisting censorship, and banking the unbanked. But by 2024, much of the mindshare had shifted to the trenches, which became the Wild West for bad actors exploiting retail. Hope began to fade. So I set out to build something fundamentally different, rooted in real utility, unshakable transparency, real-world impact, and technology designed to empower self-development. It all began with one image: a hamster spinning endlessly on a wheel. It’s the best metaphor for modern life.”
About The Hamieverse
Hamieverse is a Web3 ecosystem designed to help users break free from the psychological and financial traps of modern life through immersive gaming, multi-dimensional storytelling, gamified self-development, and AI-powered mentorship.

First Presale by P2P Foundation Holding Satoshi Nakamoto’s Only Online Account and Commons Foundation with Blockchain Core Technology
The first presale of SatoshiMeme ($SATOSHI), a meme coin project jointly developed by P2P Foundation and Commons Foundation, begins on August 1st at 18:00 (UTC+9). P2P Foundation is the only online platform where Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto was active, while Commons Foundation has been updating blockchain core technology and operating mainnet for 8 years. This project reinterprets Satoshi Nakamoto’s philosophy and economic perspective for the modern era.
First Presale Begins August 1st, 18:00 (UTC+9)
The presale consists of 8 phases, with token prices gradually increasing by the team at each stage. First presale participants can secure tokens at prices up to 50% lower than subsequent phase participants.
Commons Foundation Chairman Choi Yong-kwan stated, “The first presale allocation is limited to 8 billion SATOSHI, and considering the pre-launch interest, we expect it to sell out quickly. We encourage interested investors to participate right at the launch time.”
Simple Participation Process
Participating in the $SATOSHI presale is straightforward. After sending USDT to the wallet address provided on the official website, participants install the WONPAY app, a dedicated MicroBitcoin wallet, to generate a wallet address. Subsequently, by emailing the transaction details (TXID) along with the wallet address, tokens are automatically distributed. Support for Tron (TRC-20), Solana, and BSC networks allows participants to freely choose their preferred network.
Cryptocurrency Community Attention
SatoshiMeme has drawn online engagement ahead of its presale, with social media discussions referencing its thematic alignment with Satoshi Nakamoto’s philosophy and the joint involvement of P2P Foundation and Commons Foundation. The hashtag #SatoshiMeme has been used in related conversations on Twitter.
According to SatoshiMeme’s team, the participation of P2P Foundation has led to perceptions that distinguish SatoshiMeme from other meme coin initiatives, with some community members referring to SatoshiMeme as a ‘true successor’ to Satoshi and attributing ‘historical legitimacy’ to SatoshiMeme. These characterizations remain unverified and reflect the team’s interpretation of community sentiment.
Presale Allocation and Market Outlook
The first presale allocation is limited to 8 billion SATOSHI out of the total token supply, moving to the next phase immediately upon completion. According to the commons economic model, individuals or organizations contributing to the SatoshiMeme project will receive rewards through airdrops.
According to SatoshiMeme’s team, SatoshiMeme has drawn attention due to the involvement of P2P Foundation and Commons Foundation, both of which have established backgrounds in blockchain-related initiatives. The team anticipates strong interest during the initial presale phase, citing broader market trends in which projects with distinctive themes and active communities have seen rapid presale completions
SatoshiMeme is a token based on the MicroBitcoin (MBC) network, pursuing the realization of the micro-economic currency function originally envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto. The project team has begun discussions with various major exchanges for listing and is preparing for exchange listings after presale completion.

Highlights of the Partnership:
- Digital Currency Treasury Program: PowerBank will accumulate Bitcoin and Intellistake will accumulate digital currencies that support decentralized AI. .
- Bitcoin Treasury Management: Intellistake will help manage digital asset operations for PowerBank and serve as PowerBank’s supporting partner for security, custody, and treasury management.
- Tokenized Energy Assets: Potential for First-of-their-kind tokens backed by RWA including solar and storage infrastructure.
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA July 31, 2025 – POWERBANK CORPORATION (NASDAQ: SUUN; Cboe CA: SUNN, FSE: 103) (“PowerBank” or the “Company“) – announces a transaction with Intellistake Technologies Corp. (“Intellistake”) that involves the intersection of digital assets, energy, and tokenized finance. Intellistake (CSE: ISTK) is a technology company bridging traditional capital markets with decentralized AI and blockchain infrastructure, and PowerBank (formerly SolarBank), is a leader in clean energy infrastructure.
Together, these two high-growth companies will pursue three seminal initiatives:
- A Digital Asset Treasury Program: Leveraging Bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset, PowerBank, with Intellistake’s support, intends to accumulate and hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet and Intellistake intends to accumulate digital assets that support decentralized AI, such as FET Token — aligning with the global shift toward decentralized financial reserves.
- Bitcoin Treasury Management: Under the partnership framework, Intellistake will help manage digital asset operations for PowerBank and serve as PowerBank’s supporting partner for security, custody, and treasury management of Bitcoin.
- The Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA): Intellistake and PowerBank are evaluating the potential tokenization of PowerBank’s clean energy assets or shares — providing an investment and financing alternative.
“Tokenization is no longer a concept—it’s an inevitability,” said Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake. “By combining our expertise in capital markets and digital asset custody with PowerBank’s scalable, real-world energy platform, we’re unlocking a new opportunity..”
As institutions and sovereign funds increasingly embrace tokenized securities and decentralized asset strategies, the Intellistake–PowerBank partnership centres on transforming legacy energy systems into a tokenized product.
According to a recent report by CryptoSlate, analysts forecast that the market cap for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) could reach $30 trillion by 2034(1)—driven by advances in blockchain, AI, and investor demand for transparent, real-time asset ownership and settlement.
“This partnership is about more than collaboration—it’s about setting the pace for a shift in how companies manage capital and assets,” said Dr. Richard Lu, CEO of PowerBank. “As the world accelerates toward AI, automation, and clean energy, Bitcoin and tokenization are presenting new opportunities. PowerBank and Intellistake are here to take part in that transformation, to bridge traditional energy infrastructure with the demand of the digital economy.”
Intellistake and PowerBank are presently evaluating the regulatory framework for tokenization. Any tokenization will be subject to it being completed in compliance with applicable law, regulatory requirements and terms of any underlying agreements associated with PowerBank assets. The actual structure of such tokenization, the assets that would be subject to tokenization, and the associated timeline, have not yet been determined. Intellistake and PowerBank will provide further updates as material developments related to this tokenization strategy occur.
The actual timing and value of Bitcoin purchases, under the allocation strategy will be determined by management. Purchases will also depend on several factors, including, among others, general market and business conditions, the trading price of Bitcoin and the anticipated cash needs of Intellistake or PowerBank. The allocation strategy may be suspended, discontinued or modified at any time for any reason. Intellistake will support PowerBank’s establishment of custody for its digital currency purchases and PowerBank no longer intends to utilize Coinbase for this service. As of the date of this press release, no Bitcoin purchases have been made.

VILNIUS, Lithuania, July 30, 2025 – BTCC, the world’s longest-serving crypto exchange, announced strong growth momentum following its strategic expansion of both spot and futures trading pair offerings. The platform added over 80 new spot pairs in July 2025 alone, bringing the total number of spot pairs to more than 300 and the total number of futures pairs to over 380.
This expansion has driven significant growth, with daily average spot trading volume surpassing $4.5 million in the first three weeks of July, representing a remarkable 35% month-over-month increase.
The expansion includes popular tokens, including SPX6900 (SPX), Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), Movement (MOVE), Magic Eden (ME), Useless Coin (USELESS), Vine Coin (VINE), Zora (ZORA), reflecting BTCC’s commitment to providing traders with immediate access to trending cryptocurrencies. These new listings complement the exchange’s existing strong performers, with MANTA, XRP, BTC, ETH, and SOL leading spot trading volumes. At the same time, XRP, ETH, BTC, SOL, DOGE, and PENGU dominate futures trading activity.
“We’ve seen tremendous momentum as crypto markets recover, which is why we’ve been rapidly expanding our spot listings since Q2 this year,” said Alex Hung, Head of Operations at BTCC.
“Our focus has been on bringing the hottest new tokens to our users quickly to give them access to the trading opportunities they’re looking for. The spot market is incredibly dynamic, and we’re making it a key priority in the coming months to drive our continued growth.”

Early-stage Crypto presales present a rare opportunity for investors to get in at the lowest valuations before a token hits the open market. Projects with real utility and early momentum often reward presale participants with significant upside, and Pepescape appears to be following that path.
Pepescape, a meme coin powered by Ethereum, has already raised over $1 million in its crypto presale phase. With notable early traction and an engaged community, the project is expanding its community as it blends meme culture with meaningful DeFi infrastructure.
Gigacex: The First Community-Owned Exchange by Pepescape
At the core of Pepescape’s utility is Gigacex, a newly launched centralized exchange built for, and governed by, the community. Gigacex is now live in MVP form at Gigacex.com, giving early supporters a first look at what a fully community-owned exchange can become.
Every trader and liquidity provider on Gigacex earns governance tokens, giving them real power to vote on listings, trading fees, and platform policies. Revenue from trading fees is distributed directly to active users and contributors on the Pepescape ecosystem, turning every transaction into a community gain.
This model marks a shift from centralized exchanges toward a user-first ecosystem that’s aligned with Web3 values of transparency, fairness, and decentralization.
Pepescape’s Triple Value Proposition
- 0% vesting – 100% tokens unlocked on Day 1
- Gigacex MVP live, with community governance baked in
- Backed by Ethereum, with future plans for multichain support
Pepescape’s Vision for the Future of Crypto
Pepescape is building more than just a meme coin; it’s creating an ecosystem where ownership, governance, and value are truly in the hands of the community. At the center of this vision is Gigacex.
By combining the viral power of meme culture with real-world DeFi infrastructure, Pepescape aims to close the gap between speculation and utility. Through features like community governance, fee-sharing, and zero-vesting tokenomics, the project is designed to reward participation and loyalty, not just early access.
Early buyers remain confident, as $PEPESCAPE is yet to launch on centralized exchanges, offering new investors a timely opportunity before major liquidity enters the market
How to buy $PESC
Investors can join the $PEPESCAPE crypto presale directly through the official website at pepescape.io. The token is available at $0.000356 for stage 1, and the price rises to $0.0012 for stage 2, with no vesting and instant access on launch day.
About Pepescape
Pepescape is a next-gen meme coin project that fuses viral internet culture with decentralized finance. By launching Gigacex, the first community-governed crypto exchange, Pepescape is redefining what a meme coin can achieve from culture to code.

Midl, an infrastructure that brings smart contracts to the Bitcoin network, enabling native decentralized applications (dApps) and financial products, has announced the successful close of a $2.4 million seed round.
The round was led by Draper Associates, the early-stage venture capital firm founded by Tim Draper and known for backing industry-defining companies like Coinbase, Robinhood, and Ledger. It was also supported by Draper Dragon, a cross-border venture fund focused on innovative blockchain solutions, with notable investments in Kelp DAO and Ether.Fi.
This funding milestone marks another step towards Bitcoin’s evolving financial ecosystem, spotlighting the growing institutional interest in BTCFi, a new wave of Bitcoin-native decentralized finance. With Midl, developers can now build and run dApps natively on Bitcoin, unleashing the potential of the network’s $2 trillion in liquidity.
“It’s rare to be this early to something this big,” said Iva Wisher, Founder of Midl. “Midl makes Bitcoin programmable in a way that’s never been done before. Native Bitcoin token standards finally have a home where they can power real apps and real economies. Across trading, DeFi, gaming, governance, and everything in between.”
Unlocking the Power of Bitcoin
Unlike solutions that rely on sidechains, bridges, or Layer 2s, Midl introduces a native execution environment for Bitcoin, allowing decentralized applications to run directly on the Bitcoin network.
This includes seamless support for Bitcoin-native token standards, making them tradable, functional, and usable across products and services from day one.
Midl is currently in its testnet phase, with a mainnet launch expected shortly. Several early DeFi protocols are already live on the testnet, with over 20 additional projects currently in various stages of deployment on the network.
Alongside the technical rollout, Midl is launching a series of retail-facing initiatives to help kickstart real usage and liquidity within the Bitcoin ecosystem from day one. These efforts are focused on driving early adoption and seeding liquidity across the Bitcoin ecosystem ahead of mainnet.
Led by Veterans of Early-Stage Tech Investing
Draper Associates is a venture capital firm founded in 1985 by Tim Draper. Known for its forward-looking investment philosophy, the VC has played a pivotal role in funding some of the most transformative tech companies across multiple industries. Draper Associates has a strong portfolio of crypto and blockchain investments, having backed early leaders such as Coinbase, Ledger, and Robinhood.
Draper Dragon is a cross-border venture capital firm focused on early-stage Web3 and technology startups. The firm invests in innovative blockchain projects shaping the future of decentralized finance and digital ecosystems, with notable investments including Kelp DAO and Ether.Fi.
About Midl
Midl is an execution environment that brings smart contracts to Bitcoin, opening the door to a new generation of decentralized applications built natively on the world’s most secure blockchain – with dedicated developer tooling.
With Midl, full-scale dApps can run directly on Bitcoin: everything once possible on Ethereum can now be built on Bitcoin. The protocol improves the developer and user experience by allowing multiple EVM-like interactions within a single Bitcoin transaction, unlocking better scalability and throughput.
