Victoria, Seychelles, April 30th, 2025, Chainwire

As an official sponsor of TOKEN2049 Dubai, global crypto exchange BYDFi has teamed up with industry-leading hardware wallet provider Ledger to release a limited edition co-branded Ledger Nano X. The exclusive wallets made their debut at the TOKEN2049 event, where attendees had the chance to receive them for free through on-site interactive activities.

This special edition wallet retains the advanced security features of the original Ledger Nano X, while incorporating custom BYDFi design elements, including visual branding and customized packaging. Symbolizing a deep collaboration on user asset protection and Web3 innovation, the wallet is equipped with a secure element chip, supports the offline storage of a wide range of digital assets, and defends against common forms of cyberattack—offering users an enhanced standard of self-custody.

Secure by Design: Ledger x BYDFi Hardware Wallet Makes Its Official Launch

The launch drew large crowds to the BYDFi booth at TOKEN2049, where many attendees successfully received the limited edition wallet by completing live interactions. Designed for secure self-custody, the Ledger x BYDFi wallet gives users full control over their private keys and assets, reducing reliance on centralized platforms and elevating personal asset sovereignty.

Michael, Co-founder of BYDFi, commented at the event:

“TOKEN2049 coincides with BYDFi’s fifth anniversary, making this a milestone moment for us. This collaboration with Ledger reflects our continued commitment to asset security. The limited edition wallet is designed especially for high-net-worth individuals who demand institutional-grade protection for their digital assets.”

Expanding Horizons: BYDFi’s Vision for Global Growth and Market Leadership

In addition to the co-branded wallet, BYDFi showcased its on-chain trading solution, MoonX, at the event. As a flagship product of BYDFi’s “CEX + DEX” dual-engine strategy, MoonX merges the transparency of on-chain execution with the high-speed performance of centralized systems—delivering an ultra-smooth, seamless trading experience tailored to the rising demands of DeFi users.

The launch of MoonX not only expands the boundaries of BYDFi’s trading ecosystem, but also promotes greater diversity in trading methods and empowers users with more choice and flexibility.

The Binance Labs-backed company is building Aventino, the permissionless payments layer for autonomous AI agents. 

Following the success of its Binance Labs-incubated (now Yzi Labs), self-custodial crypto wallet with 3.5 illion users, Grindery has turned its sights on building the permissionless payments layer for AI agents. The team behind the popular smart wallet is proud to reveal its latest product, Aventino, a developer-focused infrastructure layer that provides smart wallets for AI agents.

With Aventino, Grindery is bringing financial autonomy to AI agents. I. Aventino provides the tools to build an ecosystem where AI agents can operate independently — owning wallets, making payments, interacting with blockchain protocols, and establishing their own tokenized communities across platforms like Telegram, WhatsApp, XMT and the open web.

Aventino is a permissionless smart wallet infrastructure that uses Ethereum account abstraction protocol ERC4337. The platform lets developers:

• Build an AI agent on any LLM, use any framework, and distribute on any client and/or device.
• Enable these agents to pay and get paid, interact with protocols and issue their own tokens (allowing for tokenized agents).
• Build communities around their agents, enabling new forms of governance, and growth.

“We believe the future of AI requires financial autonomy — not just intelligence of agents.” said Tim Delhaes, Grindery’s CEO and co-founder, adding: “Aventino empowers developers to build platform-agnostic agents that can transact, govern, and evolve on their own. Just like mobile apps created a layer between users and the internet, agentic AI will create a new layer between users and the AI models that power their digital lives. And it will be powered by crypto.”

Backed by Binance Labs (now YZi Labs)

Grindery’s journey began in 2022 in Binance Labs’ incubation program, building what was once dubbed the “Zapier for Web3.” After 3.5 million users registered on its Telegram smart wallet, Grindery saw the opportunity to leverage the infrastructure it has built for its consumer application to expand into a much bigger market: empowering AI agents as autonomous economic actors.

Aventino’s core capabilities

With the launch of Aventino, developers will be able to build fully autonomous, highly customized AI agents that are interoperable, decentralized, and monetizable — without being locked into closed ecosystems. The platform’s core features include:

• Self-custodial wallets for AI agents – Built on ERC-4337 account abstraction, enabling agents to interact natively with DeFi and web3 protocols.
• Creator-centric stack – Tech-agnostic and platform-agnostic tools to publish on Telegram, WhatsApp, web, and decentralized clients like XMTP.
• Agent tokenization & monetization – Optional token issuance for agents to support governance, liquidity, and community co-ownership.
• Turnkey monetization – Agents can accept payments via traditional fiat methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay, as well as in crypto.

“AI agents should be free to evolve, interact, and earn,” added Delhaes. “With Aventino, we’re building the rails for that vision — and enabling a future where anyone can build AI agents with real-world utility and governance, powered by crypto.”

GX is the currency of AI 

Last month, Grindery launched its universal gas token, GX, which is now trading on major CEXs Kucoin, MEXC, and Gate.io, as well as DEXs Uniswap and STON.fi, and DeFi aggregator LI.FI.

The launch of Aventino, however, significantly extends the utility of the GX token. Beyond cross-chain gas payments, as well as governance, GX will be used for agent-to-agent transactions, facilitating seamless payments across platforms. GX will also be required for deploying new agents — and tokenizing them — via bonding curves, providing access and incubation mechanisms for the next generation of AI builders.

Partnership opportunities

 Grindery is actively seeking partnerships with:

• LLM platforms looking to expand their reach
• Messaging clients and protocols
• Wallet providers
• No- and low-code platforms
• Blockchain protocols with AI ambitions

Interested collaborators can reach out to the contacts below to explore integration and co-building opportunities.

What’s next 

Grindery has already launched an idea forum to crowd-source ideas and requests for customized AI agents from the community. The project is also onboarding developers from AI, crypto, and domain-specific fields. The next 4–8 weeks will mark a pivotal phase as the team accelerates the development of Aventino as it transitions from private into public beta.

To join the conversation, contribute ideas, or build on Aventino, users can visit Grindery.com or follow Grindery on X for updates.

About Grindery

Grindery is building the permissionless payment layer for autonomous AI agents. Powered by $GX and backed by Yzi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), we enable secure, interoperable transactions between web3-native AI agents across any chain or framework. By giving agents and humans financial autonomy through crypto-native wallets, Grindery is laying the foundation for a decentralized, agentic AI future.

Falcon Finance, the next-generation synthetic dollar protocol backed by DWF Labs, has officially launched for public access. Following a successful closed beta phase that attracted over 200 million dollars in total value locked (TVL), the protocol makes its core features available to all users. The launch also marks the debut of “Falcon Miles”, a points program designed to reward meaningful participation across the ecosystem and drive user growth.  

Public access now includes Falcon’s core minting and redemption functions. $USDf, the protocol’s overcollateralized synthetic dollar, can be minted by depositing supported collateral, including both stablecoins and non-stablecoins. Eligible assets include USDT, USDC, ETH, BTC, TON, NEAR, and more. 

Importantly, all $USDf holders who interact with the Falcon App can stake or unstake $USDf through the platform and earn protocol-generated yields through $sUSDf. The staking process is designed to be accessible and flexible, with the option to restake into fixed-tenor vaults for enhanced returns. Once staked, $USDf is converted into $sUSDf, a yield-bearing token that grows in value over time. $sUSDf is powered by Falcon’s diversified yield strategies, which include both positive and negative delta-neutral funding rate arbitrage, cross-exchange spreads, liquidity provisioning and altcoin staking. As of today,$sUSDf offers around 15% APY, with higher returns available via fixed-tenor restaking through Boosted Yield NFTs.

Alongside the public launch, Falcon Finance introduces Falcon Miles, an ecosystem-wide points program designed to reward user participation. In its initial phase, Falcon Miles tracks primary activities available directly on the Falcon App, including minting USDf, staking into sUSDf, and holding assets on the platform. Points are accumulated based on the scale and duration of engagement.

Expansion of eligible activities will be incorporated progressively as the broader ecosystem rollout continues. In future phases, users will also earn points by providing liquidity on decentralized exchanges, interacting with lending protocols, and participating in yield tokenization platforms. 

“With Falcon Finance now live to the public, our goal is to bring greater optionality to users seeking flexible synthetic dollar solutions,” said Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner of Falcon Finance. “Falcon Miles marks the beginning of a broader effort to build a strong community where users are meaningfully rewarded for their participation and contributions to Falcon Finance.”

The next chapter for Falcon Finance will include additional collateral support, partnerships-driven “miles” program, and cross-chain deployments. These will enable Falcon Finance to advance its mission to help shape the next era of synthetic digital assets.

Zug, Switzerland, April 29th, 2025, Chainwire

With a simple, easy-to-use interface, users will be able to shield their transaction history and trade privately across multiple blockchains in a fraction of a second.

Common, a new privacy-first DeFi platform built on Aleph Zero’s infrastructure, today announced the launch of its Web App, in collaboration with the partner responsible for the operation of Common Labs Inc. The mobile version, due at the end of May, will be the world’s first privacy-preserving mobile app in the crypto space that combines speed with ease of use. For this reason, Common represents a watershed moment for crypto mass adoption. The platform initially supports Arbitrum and Aleph Zero’s EVM, with plans to expand to additional chains, including Base and Ethereum, in the coming months.

Common serves as the intuitive interface for Aleph Zero’s Shielder Network, a system of smart contracts, relayers, and zero-knowledge cryptography that enables private transactions across multiple chains. This infrastructure makes it possible for users to protect their onchain activity without relying on centralized exchanges.

At the core of the experience is “Shielding”, the process of depositing tokens into a shielded pool to break the link between public wallet activity and future transactions. Users can later unshield by withdrawing to a fresh public address, maintaining privacy throughout. With subsecond proving times performed directly on the device, Common delivers seamless privacy without the usual waiting periods or technical barriers. Unlike other privacy solutions, Common does not commingle funds, preserving full provenance for compliance or auditing if needed.

“Privacy shouldn’t be a luxury in crypto. It should be the default,” said Adam Gagol, Co-Founder of Aleph Zero and Co-Creator of Common Labs Inc. “We’ve spent years building the technical foundation to make that possible, and with Common, we’re finally delivering it in a way that anyone can use, without plugins, without compromises, and without needing to trust a third party. Privacy becomes something you tap, not something you configure. This launch is just the beginning of building a truly private, multichain financial layer for web3.”

Privacy across chains at the touch of a button

The Common Web App works with many popular wallets, such as MetaMask, Ledger (via Metamask), or Rabby, requiring no migration and allowing users to begin transacting immediately. The Mobile App will offer the same privacy benefits in a mobile-native experience, including fiat on-ramp support via Banxa and seamless dApp connectivity. 

As a non-custodial and completely decentralized platform, Common adheres to core DeFi principles. The entire platform is built on open-source, audited smart contracts, allowing users to verify rather than trust the system.

Simple, cross-chain privacy

This launch marks the first step in a larger rollout of Common’s ecosystem. Future features will allow users to:

• Shielded Yield: Earn yield on shielded assets through integrated strategies, without exposing wallet activity.
• Smart Yield: Automated strategies designed to allow users to set their strategy once and let the system optimize their returns, hands-free.
• Staking Rewards: Aligning platform growth and user commitment by distributing a share of privacy fees and yield success fees to stakers.
• Multichain Privacy: Extending privacy support to key EVM chains (e.g., Sonic, Berachain, Monad) and emerging Layer-2 networks.
• Seamless Private Bridging: Enabling private asset transfers between supported blockchains, simplifying multi-chain management.
• Enhanced Fiat Access & Payments: Streamlining access to/from TradFi via off-ramps, IBAN support, and crypto payment cards for everyday use.

For more information about Common and to apply for early access, users can visit https://common.fi/ 

About Common

Common is a privacy-first DeFi platform that makes financial privacy simple, accessible, and multichain. Built on Aleph Zero’s Shielder Network, Common offers both web and mobile applications that allow users to shield their assets, earn private yield, and transact securely across multiple blockchains. With intuitive UX, fiat on-ramps, and non-custodial architecture, Common combines the ease of fintech with the values of decentralized finance, empowering users to take control of their on-chain privacy.

Backed by Deus X Capital, Solstice will debut USX this summer alongside a native yield protocol launching with over $100M in committed TVL, bringing permissionless delta-neutral returns to Solana from day one.

Solstice Labs, an onchain asset manager backed by $1 billion digital asset investment firm Deus X Capital, today announced USX, a stablecoin purpose-built for sustainable yield on Solana. Launching this summer, USX offers permissionless access to a native yield protocol that has over $100 million in committed total value locked (TVL), providing users access to institutional-grade returns through automated delta-neutral trading strategies.

Designed for both institutions and everyday users, USX is a synthetic stablecoin optimized for performance on Solana. The USX peg is maintained by the 1:1 collateralization of fiat-backed stablecoins, such as USDC and USDT, and partnerships with some of the biggest market makers and liquidity providers in the industry. Users are able to lock USX into Solstice’s YieldVault to access real-time returns generated through off-chain funding-rate arbitrage and dynamically hedged staking-yield strategies, leveraging a 3-year track record showing 19.2% average over the last 12-months and protected by a dedicated insurance fund.

“We’ve seen the same dynamic repeat in crypto: DeFi yields are constantly over-engineered, opaque or reserved for institutional players,” said Ben Nadareski, CEO and Co-Founder of Solstice Labs. “USX is designed at its core to change this by simplifying competitive yields in a transparent and sustainable way. All stablecoin users should have the opportunity to capture the yield that larger protocols keep to themselves while not giving up utility in the base asset. That’s the promise of DeFi, and that’s what we’re building at Solstice.”

The Solana Stablecoin for Everyone

Solana has quickly emerged as one of the fastest-growing stablecoin ecosystems, expanding its share of stablecoin liquidity from 2.5% to 5.4% in just two months, at the time of publication. But while the chain has become a hub for stablecoin velocity, especially in MEV, arbitrage, and orderbook-style trading, it still lacks a dominant Solana-native stablecoin built for yield.

USX is designed to fill that gap, purpose-built for Solana’s low-latency, high-throughput infrastructure. As stablecoin transfer activity increasingly shifts from centralized exchanges to trading-driven DeFi applications, USX positions Solana at the forefront of capturing new onchain capital via yield-native stable assets.

USX’s launch is supported by a growing network of infrastructure, security, and liquidity partners to enable off-exchange settlement solutions, expanding the stablecoin’s utility across both centralized and decentralized exchanges. 

Built by the Team Behind Solstice Staking

USX and its protocol are part of the Solstice umbrella, which also includes Solstice Staking AG, after a recent acquisition. Solstice Staking is one of the most trusted staking operations in the industry, currently securing:

• $1B+ in staked assets
• 9,000+ validator nodes
• 100% renewable energy-powered infrastructure
• 99.99% uptime for institutional reliability

With a track record rooted in stability, Solstice is now focused on creating the next evolution of DeFi; one where transparency, performance, and access go hand in hand.

Coming Summer 2025

USX will officially launch in Summer 2025, with early access and beta incentives for all users to be announced in the coming weeks. For updates, users can visit https://solsticelabs.io/ or follow @solstice_io. Meet the team this week in Dubai during Token2049 at the Solana Mega Mixer, co-hosted by Solstice Labs and the Solana Superteam. 

About Solstice Labs

Solstice Labs AG, a Deus X Enterprise company, in partnership with the Solstice Foundation is reimagining financial asset management for the onchain era. Solstice’s Protocol leverages a registered approved manager to offer institutional-grade products to investors. Key products include USX, a Solana-native stablecoin alongside Solstice’s YieldVault, a democratized yield-bearing protocol that allows participants to access institutional-grade delta-neutral yields.

Bolstering the group’s crypto credentials, Solstice Labs AG also operates Solstice Staking AG, one of the most trusted infrastructure providers in the industry, securing over $1 billion in assets across 9,000+ validator nodes.

NEW YORK, U.S./NY, April 25th, 2025, Chainwire

Landmark Ruling Marks Major Win for Cryptocurrency, Open-Source Innovation, and Free Speech

In a sweeping legal victory, serial entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist Richard Heart has won the complete dismissal of all claims brought against him by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

U.S. District Judge Carol Bagley Amon granted Richard Heart’s motion to dismiss on February 28, 2025. The SEC had until last Monday, April 21, to amend its complaint and ultimately announced “it does not intend to file an amended complaint in this matter.” These events fully clear Heart and his blockchain products — HEX, PulseChain, and PulseX — of allegations that they constituted unregistered securities and also dismisses claims that Heart misused investor funds.

“Richard Heart, PulseChain, PulseX, and HEX have defeated the SEC completely and have achieved regulatory clarity that nearly no other coins have. They’re now safer to work with in ways that almost no other coins are. …this is the only case where the SEC lost and crypto won across the board, with a dismissal in court of every single claim the SEC brought.” —Comments from Richard Heart’s Twitter/X on Monday’s news.

Legal analysts view the ruling as a decisive blow to the SEC’s expansive crypto enforcement strategy — one increasingly criticized for regulatory overreach and repeatedly rebuked by courts as arbitrary and capricious.

The SEC filed suit in July 2023, accusing Heart of raising more than $1 billion through unregistered offerings and spending millions on personal luxuries. In an unusual legal approach, the SEC also named his open-source crypto products — HEX, PulseChain, and PulseX — as codefendants, alleging they were Heart’s “alter egos.”

Judge Carol Bagley Amon of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York rejected the SEC’s arguments in full, ruling that the agency lacked jurisdiction and the offerings were globally accessible but not specifically targeted at the United States. The court also found no substantial connection to domestic securities transactions, stating that the tokens were not sold on U.S. exchanges and that the SEC failed to show any direct marketing to U.S. investors.

The court further dismissed the SEC’s fraud claims in full, finding the agency had failed to demonstrate that any investor communications were misleading or that the alleged misuse of funds occurred within U.S. jurisdiction. As a result, all claims against Heart and his blockchain products were dismissed. The SEC later confirmed it does not intend to amend or refile its complaint, allowing the dismissal to stand and formally closing the case with no findings of wrongdoing.

From the outset, Heart has always maintained that his products fully comply with the law. Now it’s official. This is a landmark win for cryptocurrency, open-source innovation, and free speech.

“This dismissal reinforces that publishing software — especially open-source blockchain code — is protected speech,” said Twitter/X user @NuclearHerbs, a U.S.-based attorney who attended the hearings.

Legal analysts view the ruling as a decisive blow to the SEC’s expansive crypto enforcement strategy — one increasingly criticized for regulatory overreach and repeatedly rebuked by courts as arbitrary and capricious. With all claims dismissed, HEX, PulseChain, and PulseX now carry a level of legal clarity few other tokens enjoy.

Huma Finance, the first PayFi network, has surpassed $4 billion in Total Transaction Volume (TTV), just two years after its launch and within two weeks of unveiling Huma 2.0 – signalling a major shift in how real yield is accessed and distributed in DeFi.

As of April, the platform is growing at a rate of over $500 million, and is on track to exceed $10 billion TTV within the year. 

“PayFi is no longer simply a concept or emerging category; it’s live and scaling faster than we ever anticipated,” said Erbil Karaman, Co-Founder of Huma Finance. “For years, traditional finance has locked real yield behind closed doors. With Huma 2.0 we’re tearing those doors down and putting institutional-grade returns in the hands of every user. We are deeply grateful to our launch partners Jupiter and Kamino for making it even more accessible.”

Huma 2.0 is innovative for its ability to democratize real yields normally only accessible to institutions. Traditionally, when you deposit funds into a bank account, the bank leverages that liquidity for slow, costly transfers, like SWIFT, while returning almost nothing to the depositor. With Huma’s PayFi network, that model is flipped: payment companies access stablecoin liquidity directly to accelerate their payment flows in a capital efficient way, depositors receive double-digit, real-world yields in return.

Unlike traditional DeFi, PayFi’s yield is tied to fees collected during payment flows, not speculative market conditions. This makes it a more sustainable and reliable alternative for users seeking consistent returns in a volatile environment.

Since launching Huma 2.0 on Solana, the number of active wallet addresses on Huma has surged over 490% from 5,600 to 33,000 in just two weeks. This rapid growth demonstrates the appetite for real and sustainable yield.

Huma is now preparing to expand the PayFi network even further, with upcoming partnerships involving some of the world’s largest payment institutions.

Whale.io, a leading crypto iGaming operator that operates multichain, is charging toward its highly anticipated $WHALE Token Generation Event (TGE). While the exact TGE date remains under wraps, the event is closer than ever, and Whale.io is making bold moves to build momentum. This week, the Whale crew is heading to TOKEN2049 in Dubai, the premier global crypto conference, as the official wristband sponsor. With a packed schedule of co-hosted side events, exclusive merchandise giveaways, and a vibrant social campaign, Whale.io is ready to introduce its thriving platform and upcoming token to the world’s crypto elite.

Making a Splash at TOKEN2049 Dubai

TOKEN2049 Dubai is expected to draw over 15,000 attendees, including Web3 entrepreneurs, investors, developers, and enthusiasts, making it the perfect stage for Whale.io to showcase its vision. As the wristband sponsor, Whale.io’s branding will be front and center, ensuring visibility across the conference. The team is also co-hosting and sponsoring several high-profile side events during TOKEN2049 Week, offering attendees immersive experiences to engage with the Whale brand. From exclusive parties to networking meetups, these events will highlight Whale.io’s innovative approach to crypto gaming and its community-driven token model.

Whale.io’s presence at TOKEN2049 goes beyond sponsorship. The team will be actively participating in side events, distributing exclusive Whale merchandise, and giving out Whale tokens to the crypto community. Attendees are encouraged to keep an eye on Whale.io’s social channels for an exciting social campaign launching during the conference. This campaign will offer sneak peeks into the $WHALE token’s utility, interactive challenges, and opportunities to win rewards, further amplifying anticipation for the TGE.

How to Get Involved with $WHALE Token Today

As Whale.io prepares for its TGE, the only ways to participate in $WHALE token distribution are through the platform’s engaging features. Players can earn tokens by spinning the Wheel of Whales, a play-to-earn game available on the WheelOfWhales.io website or via the Google Play Store app. Over 5.5 million players are already playing Wheel of Whales to farm tokens in a fun, engaging way. Alternatively, users can earn tokens in Whale.io by complete simple missions or collect tokens with Battlepass, which includes perks like freespins, exclusive merch, and Refer-a-Friend (RAF) earnings. These initiatives ensure that the Whale community is at the heart of the token’s pre-TGE phase and token holders are actual active community members.

In the coming days, Whale.io will unveil its Token Dashboard, a public-facing tool that will provide transparency into the $WHALE token’s distribution, providing utility and rewards. This dashboard will offer the crypto community a clear view of Whale.io’s commitment to fairness and accessibility, setting the stage for the landmark TGE.

What Sets the $WHALE Token Apart

Backed by an established digital entertainment platform, Whale.io, the $WHALE token benefits from integration within an active ecosystem and support from a dedicated community. Designed as the platform’s native token, $WHALE enables access to staking features, in-platform rewards, and various user functionalities. The recent token generation event (TGE) has attracted attention due to its alignment with a live platform and user-centric utility.

• A Successful Business Foundation: Whale.io is a proven all-in-one entertainment hub with a global user base. The $WHALE token is directly tied to the platform’s success, with utility as the platform’s native token, staking with multipliers, and other exclusive rewards. As Whale.io grows, so does the token’s demand and value.
• Earn & Burn Model: Whale.io is committed to reinvesting a percentage of business profits to buying back tokens from the market. This buyback program reduces circulating supply and drives token price. The more the community plays, the greater the revenue, and the more tokens are bought back and burned, creating a virtuous cycle.
• Gameplay Integration: $WHALE tokens will power unique gameplay experiences on Whale.io. Players can stake tokens for rewards, use them to access exclusive games, including new titles developed specifically for $WHALE token gameplay.
• Community-First Approach: Whale.io is taking a bold stance by disregarding venture capitalist (VC) and private funding rounds for the token launch. Instead, the $WHALE token is designed to empower retail investors and reward the community. By prioritizing accessibility, Whale.io aims to make its token a wealth-building opportunity for everyday players.
• Large and Engaged Community: With over 5.5 million Wheel of Whales players and a growing social presence, Whale.io has cultivated a vibrant community of token holders. Features like multiplayer gaming called Tribes, weekly competitions, and referral bonuses foster camaraderie and engagement, ensuring $WHALE has a loyal user base from day one.

A Token for the Future

The $WHALE token is more than a digital asset—it’s a gateway to Whale.io’s ecosystem, where gaming, community, and blockchain innovation converge. By tying the token to a real, revenue-generating business, Whale.io ensures its utility extends beyond speculation. Whether used for staking, gameplay, or exclusive perks, $WHALE is designed to deliver value to holders while supporting the platform’s growth.

As Whale.io prepares for its TGE in Q2 of 2025, the team’s presence at TOKEN2049 Dubai underscores its commitment to transparency and community engagement. The upcoming Token Dashboard will provide further clarity, allowing players and investors to track the token’s progress in real time.
