ApeX Protocol has integrated Chainlink Data Streams to power RWA Perpetuals, bringing traditional RWA markets on-chain with institutional-grade data infrastructure.

The integration replaces centralized price feeds with Chainlink’s premium low-latency oracle solution, delivering sub-second real-world asset price updates across five networks: Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Mantle.

Chainlink Data Streams powers new infrastructure

Chainlink Data Streams has secured over $26 trillion in on-chain transaction volume for protocols including Aave, GMX, and Lido. The oracle network now provides ApeX with the infrastructure to bring real-world asset prices on-chain with the speed and reliability required for professional derivatives trading.

The integration solves a critical challenge: delivering real-world asset price data on-chain with sub-second intervals instead of the multi-minute updates common in traditional oracle solutions. This enables ApeX traders to execute RWA perpetuals with similar responsiveness to centralized exchanges.

Technical implementation across five networks

The system delivers liquidity-weighted bid-ask spreads rather than single price points, providing ApeX’s protocol with granular data for risk management and tighter execution. This multi-chain deployment allows users to trade RWA perpetuals on their preferred network without compromising data quality.

Major institutions including Swift, Mastercard, and UBS have adopted Chainlink’s infrastructure, validating its enterprise readiness. ApeX selected Chainlink Data Streams after evaluating multiple oracle solutions, prioritizing proven track record, high-frequency data delivery, transparency, and multi-chain coverage.

Benefits for traders on ApeX platform

The integration enables several key improvements for RWA perpetual trading:

Traders gain access to both crypto and traditional equity markets through a single decentralized platform. Sub-second oracle updates translate to tighter spreads and more accurate pricing, allowing traders to enter and exit positions with real-time market conditions.

The same oracle technology securing billions in institutional DeFi protocols now powers ApeX’s RWA perpetuals. Unlike hybrid solutions relying on centralized price feeds, Chainlink’s oracle network maintains transparency throughout the data pipeline.

Whether trading on Arbitrum’s low fees, Base’s ecosystem, or Mantle’s infrastructure, users receive consistent data quality across all supported chains.

ApeX’s position in the Mantle ecosystem

The launch follows ApeX’s APE Season 1 farming initiative and strategic token buybacks totaling $8.08 million worth of APEX tokens. As a key contributor within the Mantle ecosystem, ApeX has strengthened its position through collaborations with projects like UR.

The Chainlink integration provides traders with a comprehensive decentralized trading platform for accessing opportunities from crypto to traditional equities.

Implications for decentralized finance

The integration signals a broader evolution in DeFi infrastructure. With oracle solutions delivering institutional-grade data at sub-second latency, protocols can now offer products that compete directly with centralized platforms in execution quality.

The integration demonstrates that DeFi infrastructure has matured to support complex financial products without compromising decentralization. As more real-world asset price data flows through decentralized oracles, it creates network effects enabling other protocols to build on Chainlink’s infrastructure.

Positioning ApeX for the next era of on-chain markets

ApeX Protocol’s integration of Chainlink Data Streams marks a defining moment for decentralized derivatives trading. By bringing RWA perpetuals on-chain with sub-second oracle updates, the platform delivers financial infrastructure that maintains openness and transparency without sacrificing performance.

The integration validates that decentralized infrastructure has reached parity with centralized alternatives in speed, reliability, and data quality. Combined with ApeX’s ongoing momentum and deepening integrations within the Mantle ecosystem, the protocol positions itself as a destination for derivatives traders seeking professional-grade execution within DeFi.

As traditional finance continues migrating on-chain, protocols with institutional infrastructure will lead the way. The Chainlink Data Streams integration represents both a technical upgrade and a statement that decentralized trading has arrived.

As organizations strive to boost productivity in a challenging economy, new research from TeamViewer, a global leader in digital workplace solutions, highlights concerns about dysfunctional technology. The study reveals that dysfunctional technology is quietly eroding business performance and limiting productivity gains across industries.

The financial, operational, and human impacts are significant with employees stating they are losing on average 1.3 days per month due to digital friction. According to the research, 80% of employees lose productive time every month due to digital friction — everyday technology breakdowns that prevent people from doing their jobs efficiently.

The impact extends well beyond inconvenience: 42% of respondents say their organization has suffered revenue loss due to digital friction, while 69% believe it has contributed to employee turnover. Further, 47% say technology frustration reduces job satisfaction, and 28% have considered quitting because of it.

The report, “The Impact of Digital Friction: Understanding How Dysfunctional Technology Drains Productivity, Performance & People,” draws on insights from 4,200 employees and managers across nine countries and multiple industries.

“Given the number of challenges business leaders are navigating today, it’s understandable that IT issues can go unnoticed – but when they do, the financial impact is significant,” said Oliver Steil, CEO, TeamViewer. “Technology sits at the core of every modern organization. When it underperforms, the cost is immediate – in efficiency, customer satisfaction, and ultimately in competitiveness.”

AI’s role in resolving dysfunction

Encouragingly, the research highlights a clear path forward. Nearly half of respondents (48%) believe AI can help reduce digital friction in their organization. Meanwhile half (50%) are open to AI taking over routine IT tasks such as troubleshooting and password resets.

These insights suggest a growing readiness among businesses to embrace AI as a force multiplier for productivity and efficiency, helping teams work smarter and faster while reducing everyday hurdles.

“Technology should empower people, not hold them back” said Andrew Hewitt, VP of Strategic Technology, TeamViewer. “With productivity such a huge focus for businesses right now, there’s a real opportunity to turn everyday tech frustrations into progress. Our findings show that reducing digital friction can have an enormous impact on both performance and morale. When organizations embrace AI-powered workplace solutions, they can remove barriers, give people back valuable time, and create a smoother, more rewarding work experience.”

About the Report: The study was conducted by Sapio Research on behalf of TeamViewer in August–September 2025 across nine markets: the U.S., Canada, U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Japan, India, and Australia. Respondents included an even split of managers and employees across industries and company sizes.

Soverium introduces a new standard for blockchain privacy, building on Monero’s legacy with technology designed for scale, security, and the quantum future.

With the privacy token market, which surpassed $72 billion this November according to CoinMarketCap, and leading privacy coins posting double-digit gains despite a broader market decline, Soverium is positioned to disrupt one of blockchain’s most resilient and fastest-growing sectors. Its mobile-native design and no-KYC onboarding give users seamless access to private finance and communication, setting a new benchmark for privacy in the digital age.

From foundational privacy to scalable performance

When Monero launched in 2014, it changed the way people viewed digital money, proving that value could move on-chain without revealing identity. As adoption grew, its limitations became clear, like slower transactions, large data loads, and minimal mobile access, which made privacy less practical for everyday use.

Soverium advances these principles with performance and accessibility. Capable of 650–1,000 transactions per second, its Proof of Stake Authority (PoSA) consensus validates transactions within seconds while maintaining full confidentiality. The result is digital cash that’s private, fast, and reliable across all devices.

Built for the quantum era

Most blockchains rely on public-key encryption, which generates a public key (wallet address) and a private key (used to send or prove ownership). While secure today, this system could be exposed by quantum computers that can perform calculations far faster than anything available now and may one day derive private keys from public ones and reveal past transactions.

Soverium prevents this through quantum-resistant cryptography, algorithms designed to stay secure even under quantum-level computation. This ensures user assets and transaction histories remain protected far into the future, regardless of advances in computing power.

Privacy that extends to everyday use

With ParadoxChat, Soverium brings privacy beyond payments. The mobile-native app combines encrypted messaging, staking, and payments, all without personal identifiers. There’s no KYC, phone number, email, or centralized user database. Accounts are created locally, with private keys stored securely through Secure Enclave (iOS) or TrustZone (Android).

This makes Soverium’s privacy both accessible and practical, allowing anyone to establish a private financial and communication channel in under a minute.

Completing the vision

Soverium extends Monero’s philosophy into a system designed for 2025 and beyond, merging zero-knowledge cryptography, hybrid consensus, and mobile usability into a unified, long-term network.

Its token, SVR, has a fixed supply of one billion, a 1.5% annual burn, and no pre-mines or VC allocations. Validator participation starts at 10,000 SVR, ensuring decentralization and fairness.

Privacy in Soverium is built into the protocol. Transactions remain verifiable yet invisible, combining confidentiality, decentralization, and speed.

For details on Soverium’s technology and upcoming launches, visit soverium.io and check their roadmap.

About Soverium

Soverium is a quantum-resistant blockchain platform that enables private, scalable, and decentralized digital transactions. It combines zk-SNARK cryptography, a hybrid PoSA consensus, and mobile-native integration to make privacy a default feature. Through its ParadoxChat app and upcoming privacy-focused DeFi layer, Soverium restores control and security to digital finance.

The PayRam stablecoin gateway, built on the belief that payments should be as free and decentralized as the internet itself, is redefining private stablecoin payments through decentralized PayFi infrastructure.

PayRam offers merchants and individuals a secure and permissionless way to accept and manage stablecoin payments entirely through their own on-premise infrastructure, free from middlemen, custodians, or centralized control.

Stablecoins are the future of global payments

Stablecoins are reshaping the payments landscape, now exceeding $300 billion in market capitalization and emerging as a foundation for global settlement. Backed by growing regulatory clarity, they’re enabling faster, cheaper, and borderless value transfer across traditional and digital markets.

However, most processors still mirror traditional banking models — relying on centralized custody and restrictive compliance practices that expose users to frozen funds and delayed settlements. PayRam offers an alternative: a decentralized, self-hosted payments ecosystem that lets merchants and individuals control their own nodes. This model ensures full ownership of the payment stack while restoring the original principles of blockchain finance — privacy, self-custody, and trustless settlement.

Permissionless commerce underpinned by privacy

PayRam embodies a mission to decentralize the global payments ecosystem. Its founder, Siddharth Menon, who previously co-founded WazirX, India’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, helped bring crypto to more than 15 million users. Today, he’s channeling that experience into building a decentralized PayFi layer engineered for privacy, autonomy, and self-custody.

“The future of payments is decentralized stablecoin payments. As the world moves beyond custodial systems, PayRam is building the foundation for permissionless commerce, where every merchant, creator, or platform can host and own their own payment infrastructure,” said Siddharth Menon, Founder of PayRam. “Just as Uniswap reimagined trading through decentralization, PayRam is reimagining how money moves across the internet.”

Accept payments without gatekeepers

Getting started with PayRam requires no approvals, waiting, or centralized onboarding. Anyone can simply install, configure, and begin processing payments in less than 10 minutes. The system is engineered to run on a 4GB instance, delivering world-class payments functionality on minimal specifications. Every installation acts as a self-contained node, ensuring privacy, uptime, and decentralized scalability for global merchants and developers.

PayRam is built as a merchant-first ecosystem, offering advanced accounting analytics, scalable APIs, and automated payments orchestration tools. It also arrives with integrated growth tools like referral and payout systems. Merchants and individuals can issue payment requests, share unique payment links, and monitor transactions through programmable APIs, all operated on infrastructure that users self-host and fully control. The built-in SmartSweep feature uses a family of smart contracts to move funds securely and periodically, eliminating the need to store private keys on servers.

PayRam supports stablecoin and cryptocurrency payments across major networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Base, and Tron, with integrations for Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Ripple, Monero, and TON next in line.

“We’ve used several crypto payment providers over the years, including BTCPay Server, NOWPayments, and others, but PayRam stands out as truly open and built for the modern internet economy. It gives us full control over our payments and funds, along with stablecoin support, privacy, multi-chain flexibility, and faster global settlements,” said an iGaming operator using PayRam.

Where privacy meets agentic commerce

Agentic commerce is rapidly emerging as the next frontier of programmable finance, yet privacy remains its biggest missing layer. Most stablecoin payment systems today still depend on centralized processors that expose user data and restrict autonomy.

PayRam bridges this gap through its decentralized architecture, adding a privacy-first foundation to programmable commerce. By adopting standards such as x402 and ERC-8004, it enables interoperable, intelligent transactions between autonomous systems, defining the future of decentralized payments.

PayRam is building the foundation for a future where payments are private, programmable, and permissionless.

About PayRam

PayRam is the world’s first self-hosted private stablecoin processor, giving merchants and individuals complete control over their payments stack. Built for the next era of permissionless commerce, it merges stablecoin payments with self-hosted infrastructure to enable borderless, censorship-resistant transactions.

Co-founded by Jake Antifaev and backed by Iggy Azalea and N3on, the Solana-based platform puts fans at the center of the creator economy

The next evolution of the attention economy is here. Today, Thrust, a new platform built on Solana, has launched with a mission to reimagine what celebrity-driven coins can be and usher in a fair, transparent, and sustainable fan economy.

Co-founded by entrepreneur Jake Antifaev, Thrust introduces a new model that lets fans share in the real success of the creators they support, completely shifting from speculation to genuine participation. By eliminating insider allocations, pump-and-dump launches, and opaque bonding-curve mechanics, Thrust sets a new standard for what creator economies should look like: authentic, equitable, and community-led.

Iggy Azalea joins Thrust as Creative Director and strategic partner, alongside N3on, one of the internet’s fastest-growing cultural personalities, who will serve as the platform’s first launch artist. In addition to her partnership, Iggy will help shape how artists, celebrities, and creators enter the Web3 space in a more sustainable and responsible way.

Global icon and acclaimed actor, Megan Fox, is confirmed to be the second artist to launch on Thrust, following N3on’s November 5 debut. Her upcoming release marks a defining moment for the platform, signaling Hollywood’s growing entry into Web3 and expanding Thrust’s reach across entertainment and technology. Iggy Azalea’s coin migration will follow at the end of the year, with more high-profile creators to be revealed in the coming weeks.

The announcement will be made live this afternoon at the Blockchain Futurist Conference in Miami, FL, where Iggy Azalea, N3on, and Thrust CEO Jake Antifaev will host a fireside discussion unveiling the platform to the public.

Unlike prior waves of memecoins and influencer coins, Thrust is designed to solve the systemic problems that have plagued the space. Each launch is vetted, enforceable by contract, and structured to protect both creators and fans. By replacing speculation-only coins with “culture coins” tied to real fandom, Thrust creates an ecosystem where ownership and culture evolve together. With fiat on-ramps, mobile-first design, and a seamless user experience, Thrust brings the world of digital ownership into the mainstream, making participation as simple as using Apple Pay.

“Celebrity coins got a bad reputation because they were never built on legitimacy or accountability. Anyone could launch one, and fans were left guessing what was real. Even well-intentioned creators got burned by shady developers and broken coin models,” said Jake Antifaev, Co-Founder and CEO of Thrust. “Culture coins are our way of rewriting that story. Every launch on Thrust is verified, contracted, and transparent so both creators and fans know exactly what they’re getting into – and it’s not another extraction event.”

A self-made entrepreneur who has built multiple nine-figure businesses without traditional venture capital, Antifaev has long rejected hype-driven models in favor of long-term value. Through Thrust, he’s aiming to turn celebrity fandom into a legitimate financial category, one that sits alongside stocks and crypto as a new asset class rooted in culture.

Built on Solana, Thrust merges the credibility of traditional finance with the creativity of modern fandom, creating a white-glove platform where celebrities and communities can thrive together.

Bloomfilter, the award-winning provider of software development intelligence solutions, announced the launch of the Celonis Agent Miner by Bloomfilter app, a breakthrough that enables enterprises to govern, measure, and optimize how AI agents and humans work together. The company will debut the solution publicly at Celosphere 2025, the unmissable Process Intelligence event hosted by Celonis and taking place November 3–5 in Munich, Germany.

“We are thrilled to partner with Celonis in using process intelligence to turn agentic confusion into orchestrated collaboration between humans and machines,” remarked Erik Severinghaus, the Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Bloomfilter.

Solving the Coordination Crisis of Agentic Development

Enterprises are rushing to deploy AI agents into their knowledge work, but according to a recent MIT study, 95% of AI pilots still fail to reach production. The primary reason is the difficulty of integrating agentic workers into their processes and the inability of agents to learn and improve over time.

The Celonis Agent Miner by Bloomfilter app solves this coordination breakdown by:

• Process-mining proprietary data behind the firewall, extracting the necessary process information to ensure agent activity aligns with business goals. 
• Combining process data from traditional system event logs and now agentic event logs into a unified view of how work happens in a hybrid environment. 
• Feeding process intelligence back into the AI stack to improve agent prompts through LLM fine-tuning, vocabulary through Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and decision weighting through the use of Model Context Protocol (MCP).

“We understand the critical nature of governance and security to the AI transition,” said Aaron Fulkerson, CEO of Opaque and a Bloomfilter customer. “We are excited to leverage Bloomfilter s novel Agent Miner app to help govern our agents as we develop the Confidential Compute infrastructure necessary for trusted AI.”

“The future of software development, and business processes more broadly, lies at the intersection of the human and digital worker” remarked Choon Aun Quek, Chief Growth Officer of KMS Technologies, a Bloomfilter customer and partner. “Bloomfilter helps us be the best in the world at helping our customers transform and prepare for the agentic future.”

At Celosphere, Bloomfilter will demonstrate how the app enables process-aware agents across business processes including the software development lifecycle (SDLC). The new capabilities will show how teams can:

• Quantify the ROI of AI-enabled processes. 
• Govern autonomous agents alongside humans in hybrid processes.
• Leverage process intelligence to improve the effectiveness of agentic workers.

“We believe AI won’t achieve its enterprise potential without process intelligence. We’re excited to see our partner Bloomfilter use this intelligence to pioneer a new frontier—using our platform to understand and govern the behavior of AI agents.” said Eugenio Cassiano, SVP of the Strategy and Innovation Group at Celonis.

The Celonis Agent Miner by Bloomfilter app is the latest addition to the Celonis Platform Apps Program. The program provides pre-built, domain-specific solutions created by trusted partners with deep industry knowledge and built on the Celonis Process Intelligence Platform.

About Bloomfilter

Bloomfilter is the process intelligence platform for software development and other agentic workflows. The Bloomfilter platform process-mines humans and agents in complex business environments.
