Friends playing Web3 must have encountered these frustrating moments: having to re-enter the private key when switching DApps, worrying about inputting it incorrectly; constantly switching between chain games and DeFi, the wallet always making errors; encountering phishing links and worrying about asset theft—WalletConnect has already thought of these troubles for you.

Its core is 'one connection, multi-end universal'. No need to enter the private key for each DApp separately. Just open WalletConnect to scan a code, or click a link, and the wallet and DApp can connect securely. Whether you use MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or want to switch between Ethereum, BSC, and Solana, it can be compatible, and real-time operations in chain games and transfers and lending in DeFi won't fail.

In March 2025, the office buildings in Gangnam District, Seoul, were still lit at 4 a.m. More than thirty developers gathered around the screen to debug the medical imaging AI model. Unlike common scenes, their interface had a blinking cursor of the blockchain explorer – this is the most ordinary scene in the OpenLedger ecosystem.

“Three months ago, these doctors were on strike for not receiving compensation for their labeled data.” Kim, the project leader in Korea, handed over a cup of iced Americano, revealing the story behind it. Last summer, doctors in the radiology department of Seoul National University Hospital found that the 100,000 chest CT images they had labeled over several months were taken by tech giants to train commercial models without even a word of thanks. The long-standing issues of the 'data black box' in the traditional AI economy were completely exposed in this 'data uprising.'

The AI field has always been entangled in a "deadlock": models must be "fed" with high-quality data to become smarter; however, sensitive data such as medical records and financial transactions make companies and individuals afraid of leaking privacy, and they simply dare not take it out. Many researchers focusing on OPEN have been fixated on attribution proof, yet they overlook its true core competitiveness—solving the dual dilemma of "not daring to share data" and "lack of training data" through OpenLedger's Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) technology.

Traditional AI training is like "begging with a golden rice bowl": clearly holding a large amount of sensitive data that can enhance model accuracy, but due to privacy risks, they can only use public data to "fill in the gaps", ultimately leading to a significant drop in model performance. However, OpenLedger has found a way to resolve this: after data owners upload data to the blockchain, the ZKP technology automatically "shields" the original information—during AI training, only data features can be read, and even developers cannot access the real data; more critically, after training is completed, smart contracts directly reward data contributors with OPEN tokens, effectively adding a "security lock" to the data while allowing contributors to earn benefits.

When it comes to the OPEN ecosystem, most people focus on its attribution proof technology, but few pay attention to its real 'trump card'—injecting high-quality data fuel into AI models while strictly protecting data privacy. This is the core logic that allows OpenLedger to stand out in the AI blockchain track.

Traditional AI training has long been trapped in the dilemma of 'privacy and data': enterprises' medical cases, financial flows, and individuals' behavioral data are reluctant to be disclosed due to sensitive information; whereas model developers can only rely on limited public data, making it difficult to achieve breakthroughs in training results. OpenLedger's solution is to deeply integrate zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology on-chain: after data owners upload data, the AI model during training can only read 'data features', while the original information remains 'invisible' throughout the process; after training, smart contracts automatically distribute OPEN tokens to data contributors, forming a closed loop of 'privacy computing + revenue sharing'. This model precisely addresses the dual pain points of data providers who 'dare not share' and developers who 'lack data', transforming data circulation from 'reluctant' to 'willing'.

For a long time, the venture capital and private equity markets have been like a tightly closed door—the high entry barriers keep ordinary investors out, the lack of liquidity traps capital in a 'long-term lock-up' dilemma, and information asymmetry creates an insurmountable gap between innovative enterprises and funding parties. The RWA (Real World Assets) dedicated infrastructure built by Plume is redefining the logic of startup financing and investor exits with technology as the key.

Equity tokenization is the core tool for Plume to break the deadlock. It allows the equity of unlisted companies to break free from the 'constraints of paper', enabling secondary market circulation within a compliant framework. For example, a technology startup valued at $50 million can split 5% equity into 2.5 million tokens through Plume, with each token corresponding to 0.0001% equity. This not only provides companies with more flexible financing options but also solves the 'exit pain points' for early investors and key employees—equity that previously could only be monetized after an IPO or acquisition now has the possibility of partial exit. As indicated by Silicon Valley Bank research, this increase in liquidity can directly raise startup valuations by 20%-30%.

#From the user's perspective, Bouncebit (BB): the 'funds ferry' in the cross-chain era. When playing with blockchain, have you ever encountered this awkward situation: the assets bought on Ethereum are restricted when you want to transfer them to Solana, either the fees are ridiculously high, or the waiting time is long enough to make you lose patience? This is what is commonly referred to in the industry as the 'asset island' problem—different public chains resemble independent small islands, with funds trapped inside and hard to move. The Bouncebit (BB) token is precisely the 'key' to breaking this predicament; it is not just a string of numerical codes, but rather a 'ferry' that helps users open up the flow of funds in the new era of cross-chain liquidity. Many people think BB is just an ordinary token, but its role goes far beyond that. Bouncebit does not intend to merely be a 'cross-chain bridge,' but has devised a combination of 'dual-layer architecture + cross-chain security mechanisms': on one hand, it relies on the compliance custody of centralized finance to safeguard asset security, and on the other hand, it uses decentralized protocols to ensure operational transparency—simply put, when you stake or pay BB across chains, you neither have to worry about losing money nor be tied down by cumbersome processes. At this point, BB is more like a 'bridge pass': holding it allows for quick cross-chain transactions, and you can also participate in voting and profit sharing within the ecosystem, tying 'using tokens' and 'gaining benefits' together. Now let's talk about the value issue that everyone is concerned about: the economic model of BB is very practical. Whether it's cross-chain fees, trading fees, or charges for other applications in the ecosystem, a portion will be used to buy back and burn BB— the more it is used, the fewer BB tokens will be in circulation, naturally increasing its scarcity. Moreover, as long as you hold or stake BB, you can also receive profit sharing, which is no longer 'speculating on tokens,' but more like 'earning money alongside the ecosystem.' Compared to those tokens that only have concepts, BB's demand is very clear: in the multi-chain era, as long as funds need to cross chains, it cannot be bypassed. What’s even more exciting is Bouncebit's ecological layout. Now that it has solved the cross-chain issue, it will do more based on multi-chain liquidity: for example, issuing stablecoins using cross-chain assets, facilitating loans, and even helping users find the highest yielding 'financial channels'—all of these will rely on BB as core support. In other words, the value of BB is not just a 'cross-chain tool,' but will also rise along with ecosystem expansion; the further we go, the heavier its weight in the blockchain world will become. For ordinary users and investors, BB is not a 'quick money' scheme for short-term speculation, but a 'potential stock' that can grow long-term alongside the cross-chain track. In the future, the blockchain will be characterized by a multi-chain coexistence, and the demand for cross-chain funds will only grow larger, while BB, as the core of the ecosystem, will only become more important. Ultimately, it is not just a token, but a touchstone for judging whether the blockchain ecosystem is truly 'interconnected.' If you are also paying attention to the cross-chain track, take a closer look at Bouncebit (BB)—after all, in an era where the flow of funds is becoming increasingly important, such 'key pivot points' are rare.

Friends who play DeFi definitely understand this annoyance: wanting to use assets as collateral to borrow money, but fearing that after pledging, they won't be able to participate in governance or receive dividends, so they can only choose between 'using money' and 'making money'. But Dolomite wants to break this limitation - it has created a 'virtual liquidity architecture', simply put, you can collateralize your assets and still be able to vote, receive staking rewards, and share in protocol dividends, truly achieving 'collateralized assets are not idle, and income can be earned double'.

I previously tried staking stETH on Dolomite to borrow USDT, earning Ethereum's staking rewards while using the borrowed USDT for other investments, maximizing capital efficiency. This design of 'not locking assets' is much more flexible than traditional DeFi protocols, and it's no wonder it can stand firm against giants like Aave and Compound.

Many friends who play DeFi have suffered losses from oracles: when opening perpetual contracts, the price data lagged by a few seconds, and even though it hadn't reached the liquidation line, they were forced to close their positions; when staking assets, the reference exchange rate was inaccurate, resulting in an inexplicable reduction in returns. Ultimately, on-chain finance relies on 'accurate and fast' real-time data, and Pyth Network just happens to thoroughly address this core need — it does not use third-party crawlers to gather data but instead allows top trading firms to provide first-hand market information, covering four categories: crypto, stocks, forex, and commodities, with even the U.S. government seeking it for pilot projects, making it both credible and practical.

Friends who play DeFi may have encountered this trouble: assets bought on one chain are slow and troublesome to transfer to another chain, and there's also the worry of insufficient liquidity to complete the transfer. But recently, a project called Mitosis has proven with real results that cross-chain transfers can actually be quite smooth—its locked assets (TVL) have nearly tripled in value over three months and are now close to $300 million. This speed is much faster than the industry average in the current DeFi market.

If you have no concept of "TVL", simply put, it means that everyone trusts this platform and is willing to put their assets here. Most of these assets in Mitosis come from the BNB Chain, and there are over $200 million staked here. The core reason it can attract so many assets is that it has an "ecosystem's own liquidity mechanism" (EOL), which simply means it allows assets from different chains to flow smoothly without getting stuck halfway.

What's the most frustrating experience playing a blockchain game? Pressing a skill button only to watch your character get instantly killed because the on-chain confirmation was delayed. Trying to team up with friends for a dungeon only to have the screen freeze like a PowerPoint presentation with thousands of people on board—it's not that players are picky; it's that the previous blockchain infrastructure simply couldn't support real-time gaming. Then Somnia arrived with testnet data: 10 billion transactions with zero congestion, millions of TPS at peak speeds, and confirmation latency of less than one second, raising the performance ceiling for blockchain games to a new level.

I know a friend who develops independent games. He used to shun blockchain technology, saying, "If I were to make a real-time competitive blockchain game, the latency alone would be enough to turn players off." That was until he tried the Somnia testnet: using the MultiStream consensus mechanism, he ran a 200-player team battle. Skill casting and damage calculation were all on-chain, yet it felt just like playing a traditional online game. He revised his project plan that very night, saying, "Before, even the best cook could not cook without the straw. Now, with a blockchain capable of supporting real-time interaction, I can finally make my vision a reality."

In the past decade, the cryptocurrency industry has been changing—from the earliest Bitcoin, to Ethereum being able to run smart contracts, to stablecoins and real assets on the blockchain. Every time there is a new direction, it attracts many people and money. Now that artificial intelligence is so popular, data has become the core 'nourishment', but most of this data is held in the hands of a few platforms. We ordinary people contribute data but reap no benefits. This has created a new demand; the OPEN project aims to solve this problem. It wants to enable data to have rights on the blockchain, to be able to make money, and to be transparent and fair.

Real estate, bonds, and mortgages in reality have always been a significant challenge to put on the blockchain for circulation—many projects have tried, but either focused on only one type of asset or required manual operation, making large-scale promotion impossible. Plume aims to solve this pain point by specifically creating a blockchain positioned as a 'full-stack RWA chain.' Simply put, it seeks to connect real assets, blockchain, and cross-chain transfers into a coherent line, enabling these assets to be smoothly transferred, freely used, and easily combined on-chain.

First, let's talk about why it wants to do this. The asset scale in reality is much larger than the crypto market, with things like bonds and real estate being particularly large, but they are not yet truly integrated into the flowing network of blockchain. Plume aims to fill this gap, allowing these real assets to go on-chain and be tradable. Compared to other projects, which may only focus on one type of asset or rely on manual on-chain processes, Plume wants to create a 'universal base'—capable of accommodating more assets, meeting compliance requirements, and facilitating cross-chain asset issuance and profit distribution.

When playing DeFi, chain games, or using NFT platforms, do you often encounter a hassle: every time you switch to a new app, do you have to manually enter your wallet private key? Either you're afraid of making a mistake, or you're worried that the private key will be stolen if given away. Even if you memorize it, repeatedly entering it can be particularly cumbersome. There is actually a tool called WalletConnect that specifically solves this problem – it acts like a 'secure connector' that can link your wallet to various on-chain applications without the need to enter the private key each time, making it both safe and convenient.

Some people may ask, how do you use this? Actually, it’s very simple and not complicated at all. For example, if you open a chain game on your phone and want to log in to your wallet to claim rewards, you no longer need to search for and enter your private key. You just need to select 'Connect with WalletConnect' in the game, then open your commonly used wallet (such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc. which are all supported), scan the code in the game, or click the connection prompt that pops up, confirm in your wallet, and the two will connect. The whole process takes less than 10 seconds, and you never have to give your private key to the app, nor do you need to remember a bunch of login information.

Friends who play DeFi probably have experienced this annoyance: to get the best yield, you have to move assets back and forth between staking on protocol A, borrowing on protocol B, and receiving dividends on protocol C. It's exhausting and easy to miss opportunities. But Dolomite doesn't follow the usual rules - it allows the assets you collateralize to 'not lie flat', meaning they can be used as collateral to borrow money while still earning staking rewards and participating in governance voting. This design of 'making two profits from one asset' directly breaks the traditional DeFi deadlock of 'you can't have both fish and bear's paw'.

I tried using stETH to borrow USDT on it, earning Ethereum staking rewards while using the borrowed USDT for other investments, maximizing capital efficiency. This 'virtual liquidity architecture' essentially means not letting assets sit idle, and even if they are collateralized, you still reap all the benefits.

Friends who have experienced DeFi have likely fallen into the 'price trap'—for example, when executing contracts, the on-chain Bitcoin price displayed is half a minute slower than the real world, resulting in losses due to not closing positions in time; or wanting to borrow some money, but because the on-chain foreign exchange price is inaccurate, the limits are all calculated incorrectly. In fact, this is not an operational issue, but rather the 'oracle' not keeping up—the blockchain itself cannot obtain real-world prices and relies entirely on oracles to transmit data. If the data is inaccurate or updated slowly, subsequent operations are all in vain. However, recently Pyth Network has directly addressed this pain point, and it is gaining momentum in the on-chain financial sector!

Friends who play DeFi definitely understand this kind of trouble: having assets stored on the BNB Chain and wanting to transfer them to another chain either means waiting for a long time or paying exorbitant fees—cross-chain liquidity has always been a major headache. However, Mitosis's recent performance has provided a new solution to this problem. As a Layer 1 chain focused on cross-chain functionality, it has leveraged its unique EOL (Ecological Own Liquidity) mechanism, resulting in a total locked value (TVL) that skyrocketed by 275% in just three months, now reaching $281 million. This speed is truly uncommon in the current DeFi market.

What's even more interesting is that its funding doesn't come in scattered amounts; the staking amount on the BNB Chain alone is $203.52 million, accounting for a large portion of the TVL. It's worth noting that the entire DeFi market's TVL is only $153 billion right now. Although Mitosis's share is not high, its growth rate has far outpaced the industry average, indicating that users are genuinely willing to put their money here—after all, everyone wants a convenient cross-chain solution that can also generate stable profits.

“The fighting chain game developed by our team has lagged when three players compete on the old chain simultaneously. Players have to wait 15 seconds for their combo moves to go on-chain. The test server was open for 3 days, and no one played it.” This is the complaint from the head of a certain independent game studio and also a common problem of past chain games—it's not that players are not interested; it's that the infrastructure simply cannot support the demands of real-time gaming. The emergence of Somnia is breaking this deadlock with solid data: 10 billion transactions on the test network, millions of TPS, and a final confirmation time of less than 1 second. These numbers are not cold metrics but are turning the slogan of “chain games catching up to traditional online games” into reality.

Have you ever had such confusion? Your medical images and consumption data are used to train AI models, yet you haven't received a single penny in return; developers want to find high-quality data to train risk control systems, but either can't find compliant sources or have to spend a lot of money, while also fearing to cross privacy boundaries—this is the current 'mutual embarrassment' in the AI and data fields. The OPEN project aims to be the 'intermediary' that breaks this embarrassment, helping users turn their data into 'money-making assets' while assisting developers in easily obtaining compliant data, all managed transparently through blockchain.

Real-world assets on the blockchain (RWA) are recognized as a 'blue ocean' in the blockchain industry, but due to the complexity of asset types, high compliance requirements, and difficulties in cross-chain circulation, they have long been in a state of 'big noise, small rain'. Plume positions itself as a 'full-stack RWA chain', building a complete system from the chain layer to the asset end, attempting to break this deadlock and provide new possibilities for the large-scale implementation of RWA.

From the perspective of market demand, the potential of the RWA track far exceeds the existing cryptocurrency market. In traditional finance, assets like bonds, real estate, and mortgage loans are vast, but most of these assets have poor liquidity and high thresholds, making it difficult for ordinary investors to participate. Plume's core goal is to 'move' these real-world assets onto the chain, allowing assets to possess characteristics of liquidity, interactivity, and combinability through the transparency and divisibility of blockchain. Unlike most projects in the industry that focus on a single asset or rely on manual on-chain processes, Plume emphasizes the construction of underlying infrastructure, with its scalable modular design, cross-chain issuance, and revenue distribution capabilities, able to accommodate various asset types' on-chain requirements and cover a wider range of application scenarios.
