Dvinity has opened access to early testing of its new Solana-integrated slots platform, inviting members of the Solana and Internet Computer communities to try the experience and provide feedback before the full launch.

The project has soft launched its slots platform and is seeking testers to explore the system, identify bugs and share suggestions on how the product can be improved.

Users can access the testing environment through Dvinity’s website, with the team encouraging participants to report issues, test different features and provide feedback on the overall experience.

A tutorial has also been shared to help new users get started, covering the process of creating an Internet Identity, connecting a Phantom wallet, and completing deposits and withdrawals. The guide is intended to give users a basic overview of the platform while testing is underway.

Dvinity said community feedback will play a key role in refining the platform ahead of its wider release. The team plans to address issues discovered during the testing phase before moving towards the full launch.

The project has also indicated plans to introduce a token through pump.fun after development and testing milestones are completed, with the aim of increasing awareness around the platform.

The soft launch provides an opportunity for users within the Solana ecosystem and beyond to explore the platform early and contribute feedback as development continues.

The team behind decentralised AI platform funnAI has announced a rebrand to ONICAI, with its native $FUNNAI token set to become $ONICAI following the project’s planned Service Nervous System (SNS) launch.

The announcement marks the next phase for the platform as it prepares to transition to decentralised governance. While the team confirmed that the SNS launch is approaching, it said the exact timeline will be announced at a later date.

The rebrand will see the project operate under the ONICAI name while retaining its focus on building a decentralised AI ecosystem. The developers described the move as the beginning of a new chapter for the community, with the token migration forming part of the post-SNS rollout.

Alongside the announcement, the team confirmed it had completed an upgrade to the funnAI protocol. According to the developers, the maintenance resulted in a pause of around seven minutes before services resumed.

The latest update also introduces greater visibility for users topping up the protocol. The application now displays the current bonus in cycles being offered for top-ups, giving participants a clearer view of available incentives before making transactions.

The protocol update follows a series of ongoing improvements aimed at refining the platform ahead of its governance transition. Projects adopting the SNS framework on the Internet Computer typically hand control of protocol decisions to token holders through an on-chain governance system.

The ONICAI team has not yet released details on the token conversion process or the date for the SNS launch, saying further information will be shared in the coming weeks. Until then, existing users can continue using the platform while the project prepares for its next phase of development.

Bitcoin users looking for faster transactions and lower costs now have another option, with Plug Wallet highlighting its support for ckBTC, a Bitcoin-backed token on the Internet Computer that aims to make moving and using Bitcoin quicker and more practical.

ckBTC is backed 1:1 by Bitcoin and allows users to transact with finality in around one to two seconds while paying much lower network fees than standard Bitcoin transfers. Unlike many wrapped Bitcoin solutions, ckBTC does not rely on bridges or third-party custodians. Instead, it uses the Internet Computer’s Chain-Key cryptography to interact directly with the Bitcoin network.

Plug Wallet says users can mint ckBTC directly within the wallet before sending it almost instantly to other users or deploying it across decentralised finance applications built on the Internet Computer.

The wallet positions ckBTC as a way to make Bitcoin more usable for everyday transactions and decentralised finance, where slower confirmation times and higher fees on the Bitcoin network can limit activity.

Users can also access a growing range of Bitcoin-based financial services through ckBTC. These include lending and borrowing on Liquidium, participation in applications such as Odin, and other Bitcoin finance projects within the Internet Computer ecosystem.

The approach reflects a broader effort across the Internet Computer community to expand Bitcoin’s utility while allowing users to retain control of their assets. Because ckBTC is designed to be non-custodial, users continue to manage their own funds without handing them to a central intermediary.

As Bitcoin finance continues to grow, wallets that combine direct Bitcoin access with faster settlement and lower transaction costs are competing to attract users seeking alternatives to traditional wrapped assets.

Plug Wallet is available for users interested in minting, sending and using ckBTC through its non-custodial platform.

Website owners on the Internet Computer could soon have a new way to earn revenue from AI companies accessing their content, following the release of an open-source implementation of the x402 payment standard by Mingle Berry Media.

The company has introduced a free module that enables websites built on the Internet Computer to request payment in USDC before AI bots or automated services access their content. The approach is based on the emerging x402 standard, which is designed to support machine-to-machine payments across the web.

According to Mingle Berry Media, the module allows payments to be made directly to an address controlled by the website’s own canister, with no custodial involvement from the developer. The company says funds remain under the site owner’s control throughout the process.

The release extends the x402 standard to the Internet Computer ecosystem. While the protocol has already attracted support from technology and payments companies exploring automated digital transactions, including Cloudflare, Mastercard, Visa, AWS and Stellar, its availability on the Internet Computer gives developers in the network access to the same payment model.

The idea behind x402 is to replace free, unrestricted access by automated AI systems with a mechanism that enables websites to charge for content. As AI models continue to rely on large volumes of online information, developers and publishers have been exploring ways to ensure content creators receive compensation when their material is accessed by automated systems.

Mingle Berry Media says the module can be added to existing Internet Computer websites without requiring a migration to a different platform. The company also plans to include the feature by default in future website migrations it carries out for clients.

One early adopter is content creator Jerry Banfield, who is already using the module on his Internet Computer-based website, according to Mingle Berry Media. The company says the implementation works independently and can be integrated into existing projects.

The announcement comes as interest grows in programmable payments between software agents, an area many in the technology sector believe will become increasingly important as AI-powered services become more common. Standards such as x402 aim to provide a consistent way for applications, bots and digital services to exchange value without relying on traditional payment workflows.

Whether x402 becomes widely adopted will depend on support from AI service providers, publishers and developers across multiple ecosystems. For Internet Computer projects, the new open-source module provides an opportunity to experiment with the model while giving website owners another option for managing access to their content.

As anticipation builds for the launch of funnAI SNS, the decentralised AI platform has introduced a limited-time promotion aimed at encouraging users to increase their mining activity before the network goes live.

The campaign gives users a 10 per cent bonus in Cycles when they top up their mAIner through the funnAI app. The bonus is applied automatically, with no promo code or additional steps required.

According to the announcement, the offer is designed to reward existing participants while encouraging greater engagement ahead of the SNS launch. Users who increase their mining activity during the promotion will accumulate more funnAI before the next stage of the project’s rollout.

The company has positioned the campaign as part of its broader effort to expand participation in its decentralised AI ecosystem. Supporters of the platform are encouraged to use the app to top up their miners and continue contributing to the network before the SNS launch.

The announcement does not specify how long the promotion will remain available, instead highlighting that the bonus is active during the countdown to the launch.

The upcoming SNS launch marks the next milestone for funnAI, which is building a decentralised AI platform on blockchain infrastructure. Community-led ownership and participation are expected to play a central role as the project moves into its next phase.

Users can access the promotion by topping up their mAIner through the funnAI app, where the additional Cycles are credited automatically.

A cross-chain trading platform has rolled out a series of upgrades that broaden how users can trade digital assets, earn yield and access tokenised stocks across multiple blockchain networks.

The latest update introduces liquidity rewards of up to 11 per cent annual percentage yield (APY) for users providing liquidity in Solana (SOL) and Internet Computer (ICP), while expanding support for cross-chain trading across Ethereum, Solana, Sui, Bitcoin and the Internet Computer.

The platform now allows users to buy tokenised stocks directly using assets held on Ethereum and Solana, with developers saying the system is designed to secure competitive pricing whether users are purchasing equities or swapping digital assets.

Another addition is the introduction of solver-powered cross-chain liquidity pools for Bitcoin and stablecoins. Solvers are specialised participants or systems that help execute cross-chain transactions by sourcing liquidity and finding efficient routes between blockchain networks. The capability has also been extended to the Sui blockchain.

Developers say the upgrades aim to simplify trading across different blockchain ecosystems by reducing the need for users to manually bridge assets or move funds between separate networks before completing a transaction.

The platform has also expanded support for Robinhood’s tokenised stock offering, allowing eligible users to access Robinhood stocks through Robinhood Chain as part of its cross-chain infrastructure.

With the latest release, the platform says it now supports multichain execution across Ethereum, Solana, Sui, Bitcoin and the Internet Computer, enabling users to carry out trades and transfers across networks from a single interface.

Cross-chain technology has become an increasingly competitive area within decentralised finance, with platforms seeking to make blockchain networks work together more seamlessly. While wider interoperability can improve convenience and expand access to liquidity, users are generally advised to consider the risks associated with decentralised finance, including smart contract vulnerabilities, market volatility and varying regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions.

The new features are intended to broaden the range of financial services available through decentralised infrastructure while continuing the industry’s push towards more connected blockchain ecosystems.
