Cronos Labs today introduced Cronos One (one.cronos.org), a unified onboarding hub that simplifies how first-time and cross-chain users enter the Cronos ecosystem. The platform consolidates bridging, wallet top-ups and on-chain identity verification into a single seamless experience designed for the next generation of Web3 users.
At the heart of the launch is Cronos Verify, a gasless and privacy-preserving on-chain attestation that links a user’s wallet to a verified Crypto.com account. This reflects a broader shift in Web3 toward verifiable attestations and decentralized identity standards, which are increasingly used to strengthen Sybil resistance and enable fairer incentive structures. With frameworks like EAS (Ethereum Attestation Service) gaining momentum, on-chain attestations are increasingly becoming the foundation for loyalty systems, gated utilities and cross-dApp verification signals.
Through Cronos Verify, partners such as Moonlander, Delphi, Tectonic and VVS Finance are offering benefits including trading fee rebates, prediction vouchers, exclusive launchpad access and gasless transactions. These features help ensure that rewards reach real users while giving dApps confidence in the integrity of their user base.
The launch also follows the start of the Cronos x402 Hackathon, where developers are already experimenting with agent-driven transactions and programmable payment flows that rely on verified identity signals. As developer interest grows in AI-assisted and automated transactions, verifiable attestations like Cronos Verify are becoming an essential layer for safe and scalable agentic infrastructure.
Cronos One represents meaningful progress on the Cronos 2025–2026 roadmap and delivers on the commitment to make the ecosystem more accessible, more verifiable and ready for institutional-grade applications. This builds on recent infrastructure advancements including a 10x reduction in gas fees, sub-second block times and expanding adoption of identity-powered features across dApps.
“Across Web3, on-chain privacy-preserving attestations are emerging as a critical foundational building block for more use cases,” said Mirko Zhao, Head of Cronos Labs. “Cronos One gives users a frictionless starting point and provides developers with the personhood verification they need to build fairer incentives, stronger loyalty and smarter on-chain applications.”
Cronos One is now available at one.cronos.org, with additional partners and verification-based utilities planned for upcoming phases.

TrustLinq, a Swiss-regulated payments company, is addressing one of the most widely recognised problems in cryptocurrency: large amounts of crypto are held globally but cannot be used easily within the traditional financial system. The lack of a reliable and compliant path from crypto into global bank networks has left billions effectively inactive. TrustLinq provides a regulated infrastructure layer that enables cryptocurrency holdings to fund fiat-denominated transactions in more than 70 currencies through established settlement channels without the need of having a bank account.
According to recent industry estimates, approximately 580 million individuals and businesses worldwide hold cryptocurrency, while only around 15,000 merchants accept it directly. This represents less than 0.003% global real-world usability. Analysts have consistently identified this gap as a major structural issue, leaving large amounts of cryptocurrency effectively unusable within traditional financial systems. TrustLinq operates within this space, providing a regulated infrastructure layer that enables cryptocurrency holdings to fund fiat-denominated transactions across global banking networks.
The platform is built within a Swiss-regulated framework and incorporates structured operational controls, secure asset-handling processes and multi-jurisdiction settlement connectivity. These elements create an infrastructure layer that is difficult to reproduce due to regulatory, technical and procedural requirements. The configuration is designed to support predictable, transparent and scalable cryptocurrency-funded fiat transactions across borders.
“Global participation in cryptocurrency continues to grow, but the connection between decentralised assets and traditional financial systems has remained limited,” said Sharon Gal Franko, CEO of TrustLinq. “TrustLinq was built to provide an infrastructure layer that bridges cryptocurrency with established fiat settlement networks in a regulated and controlled environment.”
TrustLinq is accessible to individuals and businesses in eligible jurisdictions. Supported cryptocurrencies at launch include USDT on ERC20 and TRC20, USDC and EURC. Additional settlement routes, technical integrations and platform capabilities are under development as part of the company’s roadmap.
Payments industry specialists have identified the emergence of a new infrastructure category designed to enable cryptocurrency to move from self-custody into traditional financial systems without acting as an exchange, wallet provider, processor or remittance service. TrustLinq operates within this developing segment, which is increasingly recognised as its own category in financial technology. The model is referred to as Self-Custodial Crypto to Third-Party Fiat Settlement and describes an infrastructure layer that allows users to retain control of their digital assets while initiating fiat-denominated transfers to third-party recipients through regulated settlement networks. TrustLinq introduces an operational layer that bridges digital assets with traditional banking frameworks, addressing a gap not covered by existing payment or crypto models.
About TrustLinq
TrustLinq is a Swiss-regulated financial intermediary bridging cryptocurrency and traditional banking. The platform enables individuals and businesses holding cryptocurrency to send fiat payments to anyone, anywhere in the world, across 70+ currencies. Operating under Swiss regulation and compliant with Swiss AML, TrustLinq seamlessly enables crypto-to-fiat and executes payments globally while maintaining local payment efficiency via methods including SEPA, SWIFT, Faster Payments, ACH, and upcoming debit card solutions. The company prioritises security, compliance, and user control through a non-custodial intermediary model that does not hold client funds.

Moca Network, a flagship project by Animoca Brands to build the world’s largest chain-agnostic decentralized digital identity network, today announced the beta launch of MocaProof, a gamified digital identity verification and reward platform that leverages blockchain to simplify and advance data privacy and self-sovereignty.
MocaProof enables privacy-preserving credential verification for participants to prove ownership, participation, and qualifications on various on-chain and off-chain ecosystems, without the need to disclose raw data or identifiable information.
MocaProof is integrated with Moca Network’s AIR Kit and Moca Chain to enable reusable, interoperable, and verifiable identity data across its network of platforms, providing zero-knowledge proof, decentralized data storage, on-chain monetization, and single sign-on.
Kenneth Shek, project lead of Moca Network, said: “MocaProof establishes a foundation for verifiable, privacy-preserving digital identity, allowing users and enterprises to participate in credential-based ecosystems without compromising data ownership or compliance standards. MocaProof is where identity is created and reputation is accrued, enabling composable reward distribution through verified credentials.”
MocaProof allows users to explore and verify credentials in its credential proof marketplace across categories including influence, finance, loyalty, and activity. All credentials available through the credential proof marketplace are issued by verified partners and validated using zkProofs, ensuring both the integrity and interoperability of private data.
MocaProof includes a virtual companion named Mocat, a cute and friendly character within the Mocaverse. Mocat provides users of MocaProof with a personal visualization of their verified credentials. As a user verifies more credentials through MocaProof, their Mocat evolves with different traits that represent the growth and rarity of the user’s verified data. The evolution of a Mocat will also unlock rewards, depending on the Mocat’s rarity.
In addition, it is intended that MocaProof will integrate an incentive framework that enables users who verify their credentials through MocaProof to claim rewards starting from the official launch. Verified users can earn MOCA Coin (MOCA), airdrops of tokens provided by Moca Network’s partners, AIR SP (the stablecoin-backed loyalty points that can be spent in AIR Shop, Moca Network’s verifiable loyalty platform), and more.
MocaProof beta launch is currently available on the Moca Chain Testnet, and is scheduled to transition to mainnet later in 2026. To commemorate the launch of MocaProof, a month-long campaign featuring NFT-related credentials and an NFT competition will feature a reward pool equivalent to US$50,000. For more information, users can visit app.moca.network.
About Moca Network
Moca Network is building the world’s largest chain-agnostic decentralized identity network, with privacy-preserved infrastructure for identity verifications, and interoperability of users and data across industries and ecosystems. As the premier identity ecosystem created by Animoca Brands, Moca Network brings together over 600 portfolio companies, more than 700 million addressable users, and a diverse range of enterprise partners. Moca Network utilizes MOCA Coin as its utility and governance token.

Dubai, UAE, December 8th, 2025, Chainwire
- Follows first-of-its-kind pilot run with Franklin Templeton, Zodia Custody, Avalanche, and CMS demonstrates enforceable bilateral credit within digital assets custody
- Debut at Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2025 showcases a breakthrough in institutional credit infrastructure
SemiLiquid, a custody-native infrastructure layer for institutional credit, today announced the launch of its Programmable Credit Protocol (PCP) at Abu Dhabi Finance Week 2025. The groundbreaking infrastructure enables institutions to activate credit against digital and tokenized assets held in custody – without transferring collateral, marking a critical advancement in the evolution of digital capital markets. Developed and launched in Abu Dhabi, the protocol is now planned to be rolled out globally, underscoring the emirate’s rise as a leading hub for digital assets and a launchpad for financial innovation.
The launch is backed by a successful pilot conducted with Franklin Templeton, Zodia Custody, Avalanche, Presto Labs, M11 Credit, Oasis Foundation & CMS. As part of the pilot, Franklin Templeton’s daily-yielding tokenized money-market fund, BENJI, was used as collateral, which remained encumbered throughout the loan lifecycle, under pre-agreed terms and automated triggers. This simulated proof-of-concept allowed institutions to retain full daily yield while granting lenders enforceable security over the assets – eliminating counterparty risk without any collateral movement.
“Programmable assets require programmable credit,” said Rico van der Veen, Co-Founder and CEO of SemiLiquid. “PCP delivers the missing rail that institutions need – a standardized, custody-native & shared legal framework that merges the trust of traditional finance with the efficiency of programmable assets. This marks a shift from incremental upgrades to foundational infrastructure for institutional credit. Abu Dhabi Global Market’s environment has enabled us to develop our solution within a risk-aware framework optimized for digital asset innovation. ”
“SemiLiquid’s PCP brings together innovative industry leaders in an effort to address the inefficiencies in institutional credit,” said Anoosh Arevshatian, Chief Product Officer at Zodia Custody. “Through our participation, Zodia Custody hopes to establish custodial infrastructure as the trust layer for scalable and programmable credit.”
“Programmable credit demonstrates how institutional lending can operate natively within custody without compromising enforceability, compliance, or settlement speed. Avalanche’s high-performance, institutional-grade infrastructure, combined with SemiLiquid’s programmable credit protocol, creates a clear path to scaling institutional adoption – developed in a region that has become a launchpad for next-generation on-chain financial markets,” said Khalid Dannish, Head of MENA at Ava Labs.
“Private credit is going digital, and this pilot proves how it can be done legally and compliantly,” said Matthew Nyman, Digital Assets Lead at CMS. “CMS is proud to support the infrastructure bringing automated, custody-native credit to institutional markets.”
While tokenised assets are projected to reach $10 trillion by 2030, credit infrastructure has remained trapped in legacy workflows. More than 70% of institutional bilateral financing still involves bespoke, deal-by-deal paperwork & collateral transfers across fragmented accounts and systems, creating counterparty risk and friction that prevent tokenized assets from functioning as scalable, financeable collateral.
SemiLiquid’s pilot has shown that the technology & legal framework is mature and institutions are ready. The company is advancing to Phase II, launching in early 2026, which will expand integrations across additional custodians, collateral types, and jurisdictions. Future capabilities will include under-collateralized lending supported by verified solvency attestations & and a unified framework for enforceability across markets.
“Credit is the lifeblood of capital markets,” added Rico van der Veen, Co-Founder and CEO of SemiLiquid. “With PCP, programmable credit has arrived – and it’s ready for institutional deployment.”

$SNMI Pioneers Transaction Bundling Technology to Future-Proof Solana Ecosystem Against Peak Demand
Sonami ($SNMI), the first Layer 2 token built on the Solana blockchain, today announced its mission to dramatically enhance network reliability and transaction efficiency during periods of high demand. Sonami’s solution leverages cutting-edge Layer 2 transaction bundling to minimize congestion and support the continued growth of high-frequency decentralized applications (dApps) on Solana.
The move addresses a critical scaling challenge: while Solana is celebrated for its speed, the network can experience congestion during moments of high activity, such as meme coin surges, NFT mints, or rapid-fire decentralized trading. These episodes, while signaling strong user interest, can stress the network, leading to delayed transactions and inconsistent user experiences.
Sonami aims to solve this by evolving the scaling architecture. Its Layer 2 network uses transaction bundling to intelligently group multiple user interactions into a single, optimized transaction that is ultimately processed on Solana’s Layer 1. This significantly reduces the network load, ensuring scalability without compromising the base chain’s speed or security.
“The expectation in Web3 is quickly shifting from ‘fast most of the time’ to ‘fast all the time’,” said Zakit Mobad, founder of Sonami Foundation. “Sonami is committed to being the performance multiplier that unlocks Solana’s full potential. By integrating a Layer 2 solution, we ensure developers can build more ambitious real-time apps and users can enjoy a seamless experience, even during periods of high market volatility.”
A Stronger Ecosystem for Next-Gen dApps
The project confirms its focus on real-world use cases where split-second interactions matter most, including:
- Real-time multiplayer gaming.
- High-volume decentralized trading.
- Microtransaction-powered utility applications.
Growth and Roadmap
The Sonami presale phase continues, signaling proactive development. The project is focusing on its upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE) and subsequent planned listings on both decentralized and centralized exchanges (DEX/CEX) after the presale concludes. This expansion ensures the ecosystem is resilient and ready for its next era of mainstream adoption.
About Sonami ($SNMI)
Sonami is a pioneering Layer 2 project built on the Solana blockchain, driven by a collective of seasoned blockchain developers and ecosystem architects. The team is united by a shared vision of solving scalability challenges at the protocol level. Sonami’s core mission is to enhance Solana’s transaction efficiency and reliability, ensuring the network remains resilient, capable, and ready for its mainstream future.

Hotstuff Labs today announced the public testnet for Hotstuff L1, a DeFi Layer 1 blockchain powered by DracoBFT, a custom-built consensus protocol. Hotstuff L1 is a purpose-built chain that pairs a highly performant on-chain order book with a programmable finance routing layer where validators act as last-mile gateways to trading, payments, and fiat rails.
Unlike general-purpose chains, Hotstuff L1 is designed as an Uber-style routing layer where validators deliver real-world financial access on demand.
Hotstuff Labs is backed by top-tier investors, including Delphi Digital, Dialectic, Stake Capital, Tykhe Ventures, and the founders of leading DeFi protocols such as 1inch, Safe, Biconomy, Socket, and more.
Julien Bouteloup, Founder of Stake Capital Group, said, “Hotstuff Labs is building a performant chain that links trading, payments, and real-world settlement into one coherent layer. The vision is to enable validators to become active financial access points. That aligns perfectly with how we see the future of infrastructure: decentralised, compliant, and directly plugged into the global economy.”
Validators as Financial Access Points
Beyond trading, Hotstuff L1 is architected so validators can opt in as permissioned financial service providers. On Hotstuff, validators aren’t just for consensus, they act as global financial access points for both the core trading engine and end users.
- For the core trading engine, stablecoin rails enable access to offchain liquidity.
- For end users, validators unlock last-mile connectivity for fiatcrypto on/off-ramps, payments, and FX use cases.
Deep integrations with leading payment platforms, on/off-ramps, banking partners, and card programs baked into the chain enable validators to earn by:
- Powering fiat stablecoin on/off-ramps
- Enabling regional payment and remittance rails
- Issuing or supporting cards and local accounts
- Serving as last-mile connectivity into different currencies and regions
The chain matches users to specific validators based on stake, performance history, and quality-of-service much like a routing layer combined with lightweight zero-knowledge proofs for trustless verification of both on-chain and off-chain actions.
“Most chains validate blocks. Hotstuff validates and delivers trustless access to money. It’s the Uber for financial validators, routing every flow to the right provider,” said Vyom Sharma, Co-Founder & CEO of Hotstuff Labs. “We’re building a Layer 1 that can connect a trader in Asia, a remittance corridor in LATAM, and a card issuer in Europe on the same settlement fabric”.
Hotstuff Public Testnet: Now Open
The Hotstuff L1 public testnet is live and open to:
- Traders & Quants – can test early perp and spot trading, multi-venue vaults, and market infrastructure built directly on the core L1.
- Builders, Fintechs & Stablecoin Infrastructure Providers – can partner with Hotstuff Labs to enable new trading primitives, payments, FX, and settlement use cases.
- Validators & Node Operators – can run DracoBFT nodes, benchmark performance, and experiment with financial service modules.
