MyStonks.org, a decentralized trading platform, announced the official launch of a fully custody-backed, on-chain U.S. stock token marketplace in the crypto industry. Cryptocurrency users can purchase U.S. stocks on MyStonks. Global asset management giant Fidelity provides custodial services for platform users, with an initial custody asset total of $50 million.

MyStonks has successfully established a complete operational cycle that links U.S. stock assets under Fidelity Custody to the Base blockchain for token minting and burning. Users can initiate purchases of Stonks100 stock tokens on MyStonks by transferring USDC or USDT from their self-custodied crypto wallets. Upon confirmation, MyStonks converts these stablecoins into USD and purchases the corresponding stock shares. These are then tokenized 1:1 into ERC-20 tokens via Base smart contracts. For example, when buying Apple shares, users receive AAPL.M tokens minted by MyStonks.org, representing the exact number of shares held. Token pricing utilizes Chainlink oracles.

If users wish to redeem their stock tokens, they can initiate a sell request for AAPL.M or other supported assets directly from their wallets. MyStonks will then convert the tokens back into stablecoins and burn the equivalent tokens in a 1:1 ratio.

To ensure the security of user assets, MyStonks has partnered with Fidelity, which provides custody services (Fidelity Custody) for platform users’ U.S. stock holdings.

According to a custodial statement dated April 29, 2025, Fidelity Custody holds over $50 million in U.S. equities ($50,473,199.00) on behalf of MyStonks Holding Limited. The initial batch of 95 tokenized equities includes major names such as AAPL, AMZN, DIS, GOOGL, META, MSFT, NFLX, and NVDA, each of which is mirrored on-chain by its respective token.

A representative from MyStonks explained that when users purchase U.S. stock tokens on the platform, the corresponding stocks are managed by Fidelity Custody, ensuring the authenticity, compliance, and auditability of assets. Through integration with Fidelity Custody’s infrastructure, MyStonks has achieved a seamless connection between on-chain tokens and off-chain stock assets.

As a trusted institution in TradFi, Fidelity plays a key role in safeguarding asset security and compliance, making it an important partner for MyStonks in the tokenization of stock trading.

Additionally, MyStonks has upgraded its on-chain trading security and user experience. When users initiate buy or sell orders, the platform executes the corresponding operations on the blockchain, including cross-chain asset management, real stock transactions, and the minting or burning of tokens. The entire process is transparent, traceable, and decentralized, enabling users to purchase U.S. stocks in a fully digital and tokenized manner.

All trading operations are governed by smart contracts to ensure immutability and auditability. A Decentralized Identity System (DID) safeguards account uniqueness and prevents fraudulent transactions. Core smart contracts have undergone security audits and are modularly designed to isolate risk. According to MyStonks.org, off-chain fund transfers require multisignature (multisig) wallet authorization to avoid single points of failure. Cross-chain asset movements are executed through audited protocols. Additional protections include a time-lock mechanism for transaction confirmation and HTTPS/HSTS enforcement for frontend encryption.

New user experience upgrades include support for on-chain limit orders, improved wallet connectivity, a refined user account dashboard, and optimized UI layouts.

“The launch of the Stonks100 tokenized U.S. stock marketplace marks an important milestone in our ongoing journey of innovation. As we continue to expand access to tokenized equities, our focus remains on offering secure, professional, and transparent trading infrastructure. We believe MyStonks users and our global community will grow alongside us as we push the boundaries of decentralized finance,” a MyStonks.org representative said.

About MyStonks.org

Microsoft-backed Space and Time is the blockchain for ZK-proven data.

Space and Time, the Microsoft-backed blockchain for zero-knowledge (ZK)-proven data, is live on its public, permissionless mainnet.

Space and Time is designed to deliver ZK-proven data to smart contracts to power a new generation of data-driven crypto applications. It indexes data from other major blockchains, including Ethereum, and stores it across a decentralized network of database validators. Developers can access, query ZK-prove and connect this data back to their smart contract using Proof of SQL, Space and Time’s sub-second ZK coprocessor for SQL database queries.

“Prior to Space and Time, onchain applications had no way to query basic user data from a database of blockchain activity without introducing security risks and tampering. In addition, enterprises had no way to securely connect their cloud databases with smart contracts. Today we’re thrilled to announce the mainnet launch of Space and Time, which will empower developers to build sophisticated, data-driven onchain applications secured by cryptographic proofs,” said Scott Dykstra, Contributor #001 at Space and Time.

Smart contracts today can’t natively access historical, cross-chain or offchain data, which limits the complexity of onchain apps. Chainlink pioneered external data access for smart contracts with secure oracles and cross-chain messaging, solving key pieces of the context problem. The next wave of onchain innovation—spanning everything from dynamic financial instruments to data-rich AI agents and tokenized real-world systems—will require a trustless database layer for complex data retrieval. Space and Time enables this with a verifiable, decentralized database network that gives smart contracts the ability to query the full history of Ethereum and beyond.

“Smart contracts need context to make decisions, whether it’s real-time market data, cross-chain messaging or historical onchain activity. Chainlink provides the connective tissue for data to move securely across systems, and Space and Time brings powerful new compute capabilities that complement that vision. Together, we’re pushing the boundaries of what developers can build onchain,” said Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink.

Space and Time was created by MakeInfinite Labs, a frontier protocol research lab that is backed by Microsoft and working alongside major financial institutions. In addition to its work on Space and Time, the firm has developed key technologies to the broader crypto ecosystem, such as Proof of SQL, Blitzar, an Elastic Network ZK Chain for Space and Time, and Chainlink DeFi Yield Index.

“At MakeInfinite Labs, we’re focused on building foundational infrastructure to enable the next generation of crypto applications. Contributing core technologies like Proof of SQL and the original architecture of Space and Time is part of that vision. We’re excited to see the ecosystem take this work forward and unlock new possibilities for verifiable, data-driven applications,” said Nate Holiday, CEO of MakeInfinite Labs & Co-Founder of Space and Time.

Space and Time is secured by a decentralized set of validators, and anyone can contribute to the network by providing high-quality datasets, staking or running a validator node.

About Space and Time

Space and Time is the blockchain for ZK-proven data, which enables smart contracts to trustlessly access and compute over data from any chain or source. Powered by Proof of SQL, a sub-second ZK coprocessor, Space and Time empowers developers to build more intelligent, data-rich applications with verifiable data.

About MakeInfinite Labs

MakeInfinite Labs is a frontier protocol research lab contributing to some of the most prominent protocols and ecosystems across crypto, including the creation of Space and Time. MakeInfinite Labs raised $50 million from Microsoft’s M12 Ventures and other leading investors to build the infrastructure that enables developers and creators to build data-driven applications, tokenize and monetize and win in the AI economy.

The Obol Collective has officially launched the OBOL Token, marking a watershed moment for Ethereum and other decentralized infrastructure networks. The token serves as the governance and coordination engine for over 800 active node operators securing more thn $1 billion in ETH across leading protocols and institutions including Lido, EtherFi, StakeWise, Swell, Bitcoin Suisse and many more.

“After years of building reliable, distributed validator technology that eliminates single points of failure, we’re now putting governance in the hands of the community,” said Thomas Heremans, CEO of Obol Association. “The OBOL Token represents more than just governance—it’s the coordination mechanism for an entire ecosystem of operators who are revolutionizing how Ethereum secures its infrastructure.”

The token unlock follows a strategic airdrop to thousands of Ethereum solo stakers, Rocketpool node operators, and contributors to the Ethereum ecosystem, ensuring broad distribution among those already actively participating in network security.

New Liquid Staking Mechanism

In collaboration with Tally, Obol is introducing an innovative staking mechanism that allows OBOL holders to stake their tokens and receive a liquid staked governance token in return. This approach provides stakers with both staking rewards and full participation rights across the ecosystem, creating a powerful alignment between governance participation and protocol rewards.

Stakers will retain all core benefits of the OBOL token, including:

• Governance over the Obol Collective
• Voting power in Retroactive Funding Rounds (RAF)
• Restaking capabilities with partner protocols
• Use as premier collateral within eligible DeFi protocols

Obol Distributed Validators (DVs) have become foundational to Ethereum’s decentralization roadmap, enabling fault-tolerant validator clusters operated across multiple geographies that outperform traditional validators. This technology has already transformed the staking landscape:

• Enabled Lido to expand from 36 to over 200+ operators
• Helped EtherFi create Operation Solo Staker, onboarding home stakers to the protocol
• Allowed solo stakers to outperform professional operators in validator performance
• Enabled institutional grade staking entities to lower their operating costs while improving performance

As a founding member of both the Proof of Stake Alliance (POSA) and the Node Operator Risk Standard (NORS), Obol is shaping both the technology and policy frameworks that will define institutional staking for years to come.

“Distributed Validators represent the gold standard for secure, scalable, and decentralized Ethereum staking,” added Heremans. “With the OBOL Token, we’re ensuring that the future development of this critical infrastructure stays in the hands of the community it serves.”

About Obol

The Obol Collective is the largest Decentralized Operator Ecosystem and the champion of Distributed Validators. We bring better performance, more rewards, less risks to Ethereum and other decentralized infrastructure networks. For more information about Obol and the OBOL Token, users can visit obol.org

MultiBank Group, the world’s largest financial derivatives institution, has signed a historic $3 billion tokenization agreement MAG Lifestyle Development, the leading real estate developer in the UAE, and Mavryk, a leading blockchain innovator, marking the largest real-world asset (RWA) tokenization initiative globally to date. The initiative highlights the imminent launch of $MBG, the utility token at the core of MultiBank’s next-generation digital finance ecosystem.

The partnership will bring MAG’s high-value real estate developments — The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Dubai, Creekside, which is part of the Keturah Resort, and Keturah Reserve — onto the blockchain, making them available to global investors via MultiBank.io’s fully regulated RWA marketplace. Once launched, holders of the RWA assets will be able to earn yield distributed daily on the MultiBank.io platform.

The $MBG token will power access, staking, fee payments, and platform engagement, positioning it as the infrastructure layer behind institutional-grade digital asset offerings.

As part of the agreement, MAG will provide its premium real estate inventory for tokenization, while Mavryk will deliver the blockchain infrastructure to support on-chain asset issuance and DeFi integrations. MultiBank Group will oversee regulatory compliance, secondary market liquidity, and platform governance — all reinforced by the $MBG token’s multi-layered utility.

“This isn’t just a real estate deal — it is a flagship use case for the $MBG token. By enabling seamless access to $3B in tokenized property, MultiBank becomes the bridge between regulated finance and next-generation investment infrastructure. This is how we make Web3 real.” said Zak Taher, Founder and CEO of MultiBank.io.

Talal Al Gaddah, Senior Executive Vice Chairman of MAG, said: “At MAG, we have always been driven by excellence and a passion for shaping the property landscape of tomorrow. Partnering with MultiBank Group marks a milestone in broadening access to high-value developments and unlocking liquidity via blockchain, while preserving uncompromising standards of transparency and stakeholder protection.”

Alex Davis, Founder and CEO of Mavryk, commented “This collaboration represents a paradigm shift in how real-world assets are accessed and traded. By leveraging our advanced tokenization and DeFi infrastructure, we are transforming landmark developments into borderless, liquid investment opportunities. Together with MAG and MultiBank Group, we are laying the technological foundation for a transparent, scalable future where institutional-grade assets are available at the click of a button.”

With a buyback-and-burn model tied to platform revenues and staking rewards designed to incentivize long-term engagement, MultiBank Group provides tangible value for both retail and institutional users. From discounted fees and VIP tiers to launchpad access and real-world asset exposure, the $MBG token is engineered to reward participation and drive ecosystem demand.

The initial tokenization of $3 billion is just the beginning. The platform is built to scale up to $10 billion in assets, setting the stage for a new era of programmable ownership and compliant digital investing — with $MBG at its foundation

BitUtility has officially launched its initial utility NFT, labeled “Peacock.” The team proposes a way to tear down the hassle wall standing between users’ crypto wallets and their monthly bills. Rather than wasting time on bridges/exchanges and having to deal with relevant fees, BitUtility brings its one-click system to the market. Any bill (from electricity to phone, and even rent) can be paid with crypto in a matter of a few seconds with BitUtility.

This change is coming together with the launch of the limited Peacock NFT, which will serve as a badge for the Web3 fans powering the BitUility community. In fact, token holders will forever pay 0% fees, get early-bird access to new features, and have a say in the project’s roadmap through shared governance.

Moreover, the NFT supply is capped, and the fee savings compound over time. This is a system designed to increase the value of each token as the project grows.

A Global Payment Layer for Web3 Income

BitUtility operates as a decentralized payment protocol. It connects to thousands of service providers globally, such as:

• Electricity, gas, and water bills (more generally, utility bills)
• Mobile plans and top-ups
• Rent, insurance, and financial services
• Flight bookings, accommodation arrangements, eSIMs,
• Gift cards to large international brands
• Government services in supported jurisdictions

Payments come in through supported crypto wallets only. Peacock NFT holders pay no platform fees, ever.

The team believes that paying bills with crypto should not be a maze of middlemen and hidden fees. BitUtility turns this mechanism into a quick and low-cost click. With limited Peacock NFT supply and 0% holder fees, the team is aiming to give real utility to its community. It will also be possible to simply resell the NFT later, combining today’s utility of owning the token with tomorrow’s market value.

Designed for Crypto Earners, Not Speculators

The Peacock NFT was created for freelancers, DAO contributors, and remote workers who earn income in crypto. It offers lifetime access to zero-fee payments and also includes:

• Airdrops from the upcoming BitUtility governance token
• Access to staking rewards and protocol-based income
• Voting rights on platform upgrades and integrations
• Early access to new features and partner programs

Supply is permanently capped at 4,900 NFTs. Ownership grants ongoing benefits as the platform expands.

Economic Utility, Not Hype

The Peacock NFT was not created with speculation in mind. Its utility is linked to platform use. Holder rewards and protocol incentives accrue proportionally with increasing services and adoption.

The main strength of this NFT is that it aims to bring a definite economic purpose. In fact, Peacock NFT lowers expenses of crypto-based living and connects long-term value to actual financial activity.

BitUtility addresses typical problems of the crypto-native economy. These problems include cross-border remittances, expensive transfer fees, and limited merchant acceptance.

The site eliminates friction by making any crypto wallet a global payment gateway. Transactions are instant and remain fully on-chain. For those living in crypto, it presents a working replacement to fiat bank systems.

Community Governance and Early Access

BitUtility users are shaping upcoming product integrations and governance of the platform. HODLers of the Peacock NFT are at the forefront in directing the same. Throughout BitUtility’s Telegram channel, Discord channel, and X (Twitter) space, the wheels of discussion have been set in motion.

Minting of the Peacock NFT will soon be live. Anyone interested can join the project community and apply for the whitelist.

About BitUtility

BitUtility is a Web3 utility payments platform built to make everyday life truly crypto-native. Instead of shuffling coins through bridges, swaps, banks, and hidden 5–10 % fees, BitUtility lets users pay any utility bill (electricity, rent, phone, groceries) in one direct click from their wallet.

The protocol handles the behind‑the‑scenes conversions, so users stay entirely on‑chain while merchants still receive local currency. Early supporters can mint the limited Peacock NFT, which locks in 0% lifetime fees, earns a share of protocol revenues, and gives holders voting power over new services.

As more people choose BitUtility to skip fees and complexity, demand for fee‑free Peacock passes rises too. The system turns an everyday cost‑saver into an asset that can grow and be resold, effectively letting users own a piece of the payment rail they use.

Sober.Buzz the Sober Token spreading the good $BUZZ! Sober.Buzz is the cryptocurrency being developed by alcoholics and addicts in recovery with the goal of creating a global sober community using the $BUZZ token as its foundation.

Sober.Buzz is the Sober Token spreading the good $BUZZ. Sober.Buzz is the cryptocurrency being developed by alcoholics and addicts in recovery with the goal of creating a global sober community that supports each other, supports those with the desire to overcome their addiction and supports those supporting loved ones in recovery. Sober.Buzz was created with the intention to help as many people as possible break free from the chains of addiction while believing it’s never too late to live a healthy and sober life with the good $BUZZ.

CEO Josh Case said, “As an alcoholic and addict who has struggled with addiction for years, including three trips to rehabs, I never truly believed I could stop without being completely miserable; I tried so many times. Somehow the thought of not drinking or using was worse than the damage I could do in my addiction. It was only when I understood alcohol and drugs were the improper tools I was using to deal with my mental health issues that I was able to truly start recovering. I am passionate about doing what I can to help other alcoholics and addicts find the same peace of mind I am so grateful others helped me find, so the team and I created Sober.Buzz and the $BUZZ token to be the platform to spread the good $BUZZ.”

The Sober.Buzz team has plans to develop the following token utilities with the communities involvement to spread the good $BUZZ:

• Gift Sober.Buzz to family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances and strangers as a “Token of Support” spreading the good $BUZZ. These gift Sober.Buzz tokens can then be used to make purchases from the Sober.Buzz store or can be put to other uses.
• Purchasing Sober.Buzz swag for you and the people you care about whether in recovery or supporting someone in their recovery spreading the good $BUZZ. Sober.Buzz will have clothing and other items which will further bring attention to the good being done at Sober.Buzz.
• Purchasing Sober.Buzz email handle(s) to spread good $BUZZ and to stay in touch with other Sober.Buzz community members along with everyone else bringing visibility to Sober.Buzz.
• Voting rights for funding recovery related charitable activities helping to pick where to spread the good $BUZZ. These causes could range from providing assistance to homeless and the lower income population struggling with addiction and mental health, sponsoring those who desire to live in sobriety tuition for rehabilitation & treatment programs, mental health services and other support.
• Donate to community selected charitable causes to directly spread the good #BUZZ.
• Access to recovery content and input on the content to be created. Examples include Sober.Buzz podcasts with special guests, newsletters, message board, in person and virtual events along with other interactive community experiences.
• Ability to suggest other Sober.Buzz token uses to maximize the spreading of the good $BUZZ.
• Using the Sober.Buzz token as a medium of exchange for goods and services outside of the community spreading the good $BUZZ to others.
• You never know if someone is struggling and the Sober.Buzz token is a reminder to us all of how precious one’s sobriety is and how overcoming addiction is a lifelong journey that’s difficult but worth it.
• And potentially much more as the Sober.Buzz community grows and matures the spreading of the good $BUZZ can take many forms in the future.

Sober.Buzz officially began April 24, 2025 but has been “buzzing” around amongst the team for several months. Milestones the Sober.Buzz team have accomplished to date:

1. Created $BUZZ token.
$BUZZ Contract Address: 0x924556cae14ab58ff08b1617e8c12569ca2df6f0
$BUZZ Etherscan

Staking & Rewards: 15% (1,500,000,000)
Liquidity: 15% (1,500,000,000)
Marketing and Charitable Donations: 15% (1,500,000,000)
Team: 15% (1,500,000,000)

Next steps for Sober.Buzz include:

• Sober.Buzz fundraising campaign to raise capital to fund the building out of team with both crypto and substance abuse rehabilitation experts, company infrastructure, marketing, legal, accounting, building partnerships within the recovery community along with other startup costs.
• Final development of the $BUZZ Whitepaper and Roadmap.
• Further expanding the Sober.Buzz community to spread the good $BUZZ.

The Sober.Buzz team expects to have the $BUZZ token available for the community to purchase sometime in Q4 2025.

Sober.Buzz will leave you with the projects vision which is to help as many people as possible overcome the self sabotage, broken relationships and missed opportunities alcoholism and addiction bring into ones life and the lives of those around them. The good #BUZZ this global community will bring will change lives and end generational trauma for those that truly are done suffering and causing others suffering. Sober.Buzz believes it’s never too late and no one is ever too far gone to live a clean and sober life. Community let’s all spread some of that good $BUZZ!

Over the past decade, blockchain innovation has largely revolved around infrastructure. From the rise of Layer 1 protocols and decentralized finance (DeFi) to recent developments in real-world asset tokenization (RWA), technical progress has been both rapid and expansive.

Yet even with over $90 billion in DeFi total value locked (TVL) as of early 2025, mainstream adoption remains elusive. For many consumers, interacting with crypto still involves unfamiliar interfaces, unclear value propositions, and a lack of integration with daily financial behavior. This usability gap has major implications beyond convenience – it limits the reach of even the most technically advanced protocols. Projects struggle not because the tech isn’t working, but because users can’t connect with it.

From Architecture to Access

In response, a new generation of crypto companies is emerging – those that build not at the protocol layer, but at what could be called the experience layer. These ventures prioritize user experience, real-world utility, and embedded financial services over purely technical innovation.

While this shift may challenge the ideals of crypto purists – the builders, maximalists, and mission-driven technologists who shaped the early industry – it reflects a growing consensus that adoption won’t come from ideology alone. Success will depend on delivering intuitive, credible experiences that fit naturally into users’ financial lives.

EB1: Bridging Digital Wealth with Real-World Access

One company illustrating this shift is EB1, a crypto-native venture set to launch its core products in Q3 2025. EB1’s mission is to bridge digital wealth with real-world access by building a seamless interface between on-chain value and off-chain experiences.

At the core of the EB1 platform are three interconnected components:

• EB1 Pay – a crypto-native payment solution with real-time crypto-to-fiat spending via the EB1 Visa Card
• EB1 Premium Services – in-app access to a curated range of lifestyle, travel, and concierge offerings
• EB1 Network – a private community designed to deliver tangible value through member connections

The team behind EB1 draws on extensive experience across payments, digital assets, luxury services, and high-growth product development, with backgrounds at firms like PwC, CVC Credit Partners, and other leading financial institutions.

The Paradigm Shift: From Protocols to Products

Historically, many tokenized projects have launched with minimal utility, often sustained more by speculative enthusiasm than by real-world adoption. This model can distort focus, pushing teams toward sustaining market hype rather than solving user problems.

EB1 takes a different approach. Early-stage development has been funded by the team and select aligned seed investors. Rather than raising capital on promises, EB1 has chosen to build, test, and monetize early – ensuring that any future public fundraising is grounded in demonstrated user traction and clear value creation.

This approach reflects a broader shift in philosophy across the crypto space: the future will belong not to the most technically intricate protocols, but to the products that deliver meaningful, accessible experiences at scale.

Looking Ahead

The broader takeaway isn’t just about EB1 – it’s about where crypto is going next. Infrastructure remains critical, but without intuitive interfaces and clear benefits, users won’t come.

Companies that succeed in the next wave will meet users where they are: mobile-first, always-on, and expecting financial tools that match the polish and convenience of leading consumer fintech products. In that sense, the real innovation may not lie in the next Layer 2 or staking primitive, but in delivering useful, credible, and profitable experiences to millions of people.

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 crosschain 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 to deploy new agents and tokenize 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

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 also onboards developers from AI, crypto, and domain-specific fields. The following 4–8 weeks will mark a pivotal phase as the team accelerates the development of Aventino as it transitions from private to public beta.
