Plug Wallet adds WalletConnect support to expand cross-chain access across major DeFi networks

Plug Wallet has introduced support for WalletConnect, allowing users to connect with decentralised applications across a wider range of blockchain networks including Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) and others. The update is aimed at making it easier for users to interact with dApps without switching between multiple wallets or interfaces.

The integration brings WalletConnect compatibility into Plug Wallet’s existing non-custodial setup, which already supports assets across BTC, ETH, SOL and ICP ecosystems. With this addition, users can now approve connections to external applications, sign transactions and manage permissions through a single wallet interface.

A short demo accompanying the announcement shows a user connecting Plug Wallet to Hyperliquid’s trading interface. The process includes granting account access, reviewing terms, and confirming a signature request, reflecting the standard flow users can expect when interacting with supported dApps.

The wallet continues to position itself around its Chain Fusion approach, which focuses on enabling interactions across different blockchain networks within a unified experience. By adding WalletConnect support, Plug Wallet extends its reach to a broader set of decentralised applications, particularly those built outside its native ecosystem.

The update places Plug Wallet in a more competitive position within the multi-chain wallet sector, where demand is growing for tools that reduce friction between networks. While many wallets already offer multi-chain asset support, the ability to combine this with WalletConnect connectivity and Chain Fusion features is intended to streamline how users engage with DeFi platforms.

Further integrations are expected, with the development team indicating ongoing work to expand compatibility with additional chains and applications over time.

Liquidium adds ETH-backed borrowing, expanding cross-chain lending options

Liquidium adds ETH-backed borrowing, expanding cross-chain lending options

ETH holders now have a new way to access liquidity without selling their positions, as Liquidium introduces ETH-backed borrowing at rates of around 1 per cent.

The update allows users to supply ETH as collateral and borrow supported assets while maintaining exposure to Ethereum. The move extends Liquidium’s lending model beyond Bitcoin and brings ETH into its native cross-chain framework.

Users supply ETH, review borrowing options, check loan-to-value ratios, interest rates and liquidation levels, then proceed with borrowing if the terms align with their strategy. Repayment is managed within the same system, with positions subject to market movements throughout the loan term.

Liquidium says the addition is aimed at giving users more flexibility in how they manage digital assets, particularly during periods where selling ETH may not be preferred. The protocol already supports BTC-backed lending, and ETH expands its range of collateral options across major crypto assets.

A key part of the infrastructure is Chain Fusion technology developed within the Internet Computer Protocol ecosystem. It enables canisters to interact directly with external blockchains, removing the need for wrapped tokens or traditional bridging models. This approach is intended to allow more direct coordination between chains in lending workflows.

For ETH borrowers, the mechanics are similar to other crypto-backed loans, but the risks remain unchanged. Positions can be affected by volatility in ETH price, shifts in borrowing rates and liquidation thresholds if collateral values fall. Users are also responsible for managing repayment obligations over time.

Liquidium notes that ETH borrowing can be used for a range of purposes, including accessing short-term liquidity, borrowing stablecoins while retaining ETH exposure, or reallocating capital into other decentralised finance opportunities. However, these use cases depend on individual strategy and risk tolerance rather than fixed outcomes.

Before opening a position, users are encouraged to review collateral ratios, repayment terms and potential liquidation scenarios. Smaller initial positions may help users understand how ETH-backed lending behaves under live market conditions.

Security remains a stated focus for the protocol. Liquidium references an independent review of its canisters conducted by Trail of Bits. While such audits assess implementation quality, they do not remove market or user-side risks, which continue to sit with borrowers.

The expansion reflects Liquidium’s broader direction towards supporting multiple native assets within a single lending environment, with ETH joining BTC as part of its cross-chain collateral base.

Australia tightens crypto transfer checks as Travel Rule comes into force

Australia’s crypto users will face stricter checks on transfers from 1 July as new rules come into effect requiring regulated exchanges to collect and verify additional information on digital asset movements.

The Travel Rule, which is being introduced for crypto service providers, means exchanges must now record details such as the names of senders and recipients, the exchanges involved in the transaction and checks on wallet ownership. The requirements apply to both incoming and outgoing transfers.

Importantly, the rules are not limited by transaction size, meaning even small-value crypto transfers may be subject to the same verification steps as larger ones. Industry operators say this could lead to more frequent requests for user information during routine activity, particularly when funds move between platforms or external wallets.

Regulators argue the changes are designed to improve transparency in crypto transactions and align digital asset services more closely with existing financial system standards aimed at reducing illicit activity. The framework has been developed as part of broader international efforts to standardise oversight of virtual asset transfers.

For users, the main change will be additional steps during transfers, which may include providing more detailed recipient information or confirming wallet ownership before transactions are processed. Exchanges are expected to implement these checks into their compliance systems from the date the rule takes effect.

While compliance requirements will increase for platforms, there is also an expectation within the sector that clearer standards may help strengthen trust in regulated services over time, particularly as crypto continues to move further into mainstream financial use.

Internet Computer’s Caffeine Integrates With Claude to Enable AI Driven App Development

Internet Computer’s Caffeine has launched a direct integration with Anthropic’s Claude, allowing users to generate production ready applications using natural language prompts without leaving the large language model environment.

The integration is designed to let developers, enterprise teams and less technical users build, refine and deploy software through conversational interactions inside Claude. According to Internet Computer developer DFINITY, the move aims to reduce the friction between designing, coding and deploying applications.

Caffeine uses modular software frameworks that assemble applications based on user instructions. The platform is intended to support rapid prototyping as well as more complex software development, with applications deployed directly on the Internet Computer blockchain.

The release also targets the growing community of so called “vibe coders”, a term used for people who rely on AI assistants to generate software from natural language rather than writing every line of code themselves. While the approach has gained traction with recent advances in generative AI, industry experts have noted that human oversight remains important for security, reliability and compliance, particularly in enterprise environments.

Anthropic’s Claude has become one of the leading AI assistants for coding tasks, joining a competitive field that includes OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini and GitHub Copilot. Technology companies are increasingly integrating development tools into these AI platforms as demand grows for faster software creation.

DFINITY said the integration allows users to move from an idea to a deployable application within Claude, with the underlying infrastructure handling the software assembly and deployment process. The organisation expects the feature to support both individual developers experimenting with new ideas and businesses looking to accelerate application development.

The announcement reflects a wider trend across the software industry, where AI powered coding assistants are becoming part of everyday development workflows. While these tools can speed up development and lower technical barriers, organisations continue to balance those benefits with the need for code review, testing and governance before applications are released into production.

Fabio reports rising token burn activity and expands onchain payment tools across Hero project

Fabio, the developer behind the Hero project, has shared updated performance data alongside new details on the platform’s expanding onchain payment features, token burn activity and future listing considerations.

In the latest update, Fabio outlined continued growth in token burns across the system. Since launch, more than 1.5 million HERO tokens have been removed from circulation, with weekly burn activity recently reaching 317,000 tokens, marking the highest level recorded so far. Daily burn rates have also strengthened, ranging between 40,000 and 50,000 HERO over recent weeks, compared with a lower long-term average that is gradually trending upwards.

Monthly data shows uneven but increasing activity. One recent month recorded around 327,000 tokens burned, while the current month has already exceeded 1.2 million tokens, reflecting a faster pace of usage within a shorter reporting window.

User activity metrics suggest a widening geographic spread. The platform has recorded more than 1,500 unique visitors and over 2,300 page views since launch, with total engagement time reaching 29 hours. Traffic has come from 74 countries, led by the United States, which accounts for roughly one third of visitors. The United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany and Canada follow, alongside broader participation from dozens of additional regions.

Fabio also highlighted a community-driven sentiment indicator based on voting activity within the HERO ecosystem. The current reading sits in a strong optimism range, reflecting internal community input rather than broader market signals typically associated with assets such as Internet Computer (ICP).

Alongside the data update, Fabio demonstrated several platform features currently in development or early use. These include a blog system that supports gated content paid in HERO tokens and a scheduling tool that allows users to book one-to-one calls. Both systems use onchain settlement, where payments are processed through wallet transfers and then verified by the platform before access is granted or appointments are confirmed.

The booking process allows users to select available time slots, enter basic details and complete payment through their wallet. Once the transfer is confirmed, the system validates the transaction and issues a confirmation message along with an email notification.

Fabio also addressed why the project’s merchandise store remains offchain. He said the decision is based on operational risk management rather than technical limitations. Because operating costs are denominated in euros, direct crypto payments would require frequent conversion and introduce exposure to price fluctuations during settlement. Fiat payments therefore remain in place for physical goods, while token-based payments are reserved for digital services where settlement can be managed more predictably.

Plans for potential exchange listings were also discussed. The project is currently in a transitional phase, with HERO and ICP conversions still available. Fabio indicated that a decentralised exchange listing could follow either through a forthcoming multi-dex platform or an alternative route if that option is delayed.

Timing for any listing remains open. Factors under consideration include seasonal market activity, liquidity conditions and broader participation levels. Fabio said the intention is to allow more time for engagement and continued development before expanding access to external trading venues.

Current liquidity positioning includes close to 10,000 ICP across staked and liquid holdings, allocated across different parts of the ecosystem. Some assets remain locked for governance participation, while others are held for operational use.

Fabio noted that the project continues to operate with very low overheads, supported largely by volunteer contributors. He added that this structure has allowed a greater share of revenue to be directed towards token burns and reinvestment into ongoing development.

While still early in its development cycle, the project is continuing to expand its onchain payment capabilities, refine its token mechanics and build out additional tools aimed at increasing automation and user interaction across the platform.

MENA-built digital asset exchange goes open source with atomic settlement model

MENA-built digital asset exchange goes open source with atomic settlement model

A new digital asset exchange built in Egypt and developed in Motoko has been released as an open-source project, aiming to reshape how real-world assets such as cash, company shares and land titles are traded and settled.

The project, shared publicly via GitHub by ICP HUB Egypt in collaboration with Mercatura Forum and Menese Protocol, introduces a settlement design that executes payment and asset transfer in a single atomic step. If either side of a transaction fails, the trade is reversed entirely, removing the need for traditional clearinghouses and multi-day settlement cycles.

The exchange operates on Egypt-L1, described by its creators as a Byzantine fault tolerant network. The system is structured around a matching engine, a settlement core, asset ledgers and an audit layer, all designed to function without custodial intermediaries.

At the centre of the design is a delivery-versus-payment mechanism that holds both cash and assets in escrow momentarily before releasing them simultaneously. The developers say this removes exposure risks that typically exist in staggered settlement systems used in conventional markets.

The platform supports multiple asset classes including digital cash tokens, company equity and tokenised land titles. Each is handled through integrated ledger standards, with the same settlement logic applied across asset types.

The matching engine operates through batch auctions, where trades are grouped and cleared at a single price per cycle rather than executed continuously. According to the project documentation, this approach is intended to reduce latency-based trading advantages.

An on-chain registry governs which assets are eligible for trading, requiring issuers to be approved and assets to be properly funded before listing.

The project also includes a self-indexed ledger system that records transactions alongside cryptographic proofs, removing the need for separate indexing services. An internal audit mechanism based on Merkle Mountain Range structures allows independent verification of transaction history.

The team says the entire system is built without external cryptographic dependencies, relying on in-house implementations for core functions such as hashing and verification.

In a statement accompanying the release, contributors described the platform as an open infrastructure layer for financial markets that can be built on by developers globally.

The codebase is available publicly at Digital Asset Exchange GitHub.

Developer publishes 8.8 million government procurement records to improve public access

Government procurement data covering millions of tenders and contract awards has been compiled into a publicly downloadable database by an 18 year old developer, opening the door for wider scrutiny of public spending.

The release contains about 8.8 million structured records gathered from India’s Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP), including both active and archived tenders as well as awarded contracts. The dataset includes information such as contract values, dates, bidders and government organisations involved in the procurement process.

According to the developer, around 16.6 million records were scraped from the CPPP over the past two weeks before being organised into two SQLite databases that are now freely available for download through a dedicated website.

The initiative is intended to make government procurement information easier to access and analyse. While the CPPP already publishes procurement data, extracting and examining it at scale has often required technical expertise and considerable effort. Packaging the information into downloadable databases allows journalists, researchers, civil society groups and members of the public to conduct their own analysis more efficiently.

The developer said the project was driven by a belief that transparency should be accessible to everyone.

“Transparency needs to be accessible. From today it is,” the announcement said.

The database could be used to identify procurement trends, compare contract values across agencies, track spending patterns and examine bidding activity. It may also assist researchers investigating public procurement practices or developing analytical tools.

The developer has invited the open source community to contribute to the project through a Discord server, with early suggestions including distributing the database via torrent networks, expanding cloud hosting options and building retrieval augmented generation tools and interactive dashboards to make the information easier to search and interpret.

As with any independently compiled dataset, users are encouraged to verify findings against the official Central Public Procurement Portal, particularly where information may have changed since the data was collected or where procurement records have been updated.

The release highlights growing interest in using publicly available government data to improve accountability and encourage independent analysis of public expenditure, while also demonstrating how individual developers can build tools that make complex datasets easier to use.

AI-powered tool migrates restaurant website to Internet Computer in around 20 minutes

A production restaurant website has been migrated from a traditional Web2 stack to the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) using an AI-assisted migration engine, with its developers claiming the process took about 20 minutes from start to deployment.

The project was completed by Mingleberry Media, which says it has rebuilt the Hotel Restaurant Artemis website as a fully on-chain application running natively on the Internet Computer. According to the company, the migration transferred the website’s frontend, backend, database, authentication system and file storage away from conventional cloud services.

The original website, built using React, TypeScript, Vite and Tailwind CSS, was retained without changes to its user interface while being deployed from an ICP canister. Supabase Postgres was replaced with Motoko stable storage, Supabase Auth with Internet Identity, and Supabase Storage with an asset canister. Backend edge functions were also rewritten as Motoko methods.

Mingleberry Media says the migration was carried out using its Mingle Cloud Migrator, an AI-assisted deterministic engine designed to analyse an existing Web2 codebase, convert it into native Internet Computer canisters and deploy it to a live ICP address.

The company says the process can complete work that would typically require several weeks of manual engineering, although the timeframe will vary depending on the complexity of the application. The Hotel Restaurant Artemis website has been presented as a reference migration demonstrating the platform’s capabilities.

The migration reflects a growing effort within the Internet Computer ecosystem to lower the barriers for organisations considering a move from conventional cloud infrastructure to decentralised hosting. Supporters argue that fully on-chain applications can simplify infrastructure by combining application logic, storage and authentication within the network, while reducing reliance on third-party cloud providers.

Industry observers note that while AI-assisted migration tools are becoming more capable, broader adoption will depend on factors including application complexity, security requirements, compatibility with existing systems and the cost of operating decentralised infrastructure. For many organisations, migration decisions are also influenced by regulatory, operational and business considerations beyond technical performance.

Mingleberry Media says all applications it delivers run natively on the Internet Computer using Motoko canisters, Internet Identity authentication and stable-memory storage, with no traditional cloud servers. Alongside application migration, the company also offers AI search optimisation and AI-driven content generation services.

AI memory firms emerge as next battleground in race for autonomous agents

AI memory firms emerge as next battleground in race for autonomous agents

The market for AI agents is on track for rapid growth over the next decade, with new forecasts suggesting annual revenue could rise from about US$8 billion in 2025 to almost US$300 billion by 2035. As businesses race to develop increasingly capable AI systems, attention is shifting towards a challenge that many experts see as the next hurdle: memory.

Research from Precedence Research projects the AI agent market will expand to US$294.66 billion by 2035, reflecting growing demand for software capable of carrying out tasks with minimal human intervention. AI agents are already being used to write code, analyse data, automate customer service and complete business workflows, and investment in the sector continues to gather pace.

Despite these advances, developers acknowledge that today’s AI agents still have clear limitations. While many can reason through problems and generate complex responses, they often struggle to retain information between sessions or build lasting connections between pieces of knowledge. This means users frequently need to repeat context, reducing the usefulness of agents for long term, ongoing work.

The issue has sparked interest in a new generation of companies focused on AI memory infrastructure. These businesses are developing systems that allow AI agents to store, retrieve and organise information over time, giving them a more persistent understanding of users, tasks and data.

Supporters argue that memory will become an essential building block for autonomous AI. Agents that can recall previous interactions, learn from experience and maintain context across multiple sessions could handle more complex responsibilities with less human input.

The shift comes as technology companies compete to move beyond chatbots towards AI systems capable of acting independently. Major developers, including OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and Microsoft, have all introduced features that improve memory or long term context for their AI models, although approaches vary and the technology remains under active development.

Researchers caution that stronger memory brings fresh challenges alongside new opportunities. Storing user information for extended periods raises questions around privacy, security and data governance, while ensuring that AI systems remember accurate and relevant information without reinforcing errors remains an active area of research.

Industry analysts suggest the next phase of AI development is likely to be shaped by improvements in infrastructure as much as advances in model performance. While larger and more capable language models continue to attract attention, systems that can reliably retain knowledge and personalise interactions may prove equally important as AI agents become more widely adopted across business and consumer applications.

ICP-backed borrowing activity surges past $100k as Liquidium reports rapid collateral growth

Activity on lending protocols tied to Internet Computer (ICP) has picked up pace, with Liquidium reporting that more than 100,000 dollars worth of ICP has now been supplied and used within its system, according to a recent update shared by the platform.

The figure, equivalent to 46,881 ICP, reportedly doubled within a four-day window as users increased deposits that were then used as collateral. Against this pool of assets, around 35,000 dollars in stablecoins has been borrowed, signalling growing use of ICP-backed positions for liquidity access.

Liquidium, which operates in the decentralised finance space, described the activity as being driven by its community, pointing to rising engagement with ICP-based collateral mechanisms. While the platform highlighted the speed of the increase, broader market conditions for ICP have also been marked by fluctuating sentiment as developers and users continue to explore lending and borrowing use cases on-chain.

The update adds to a series of recent data points suggesting that lending activity within ICP-linked ecosystems is gradually expanding, particularly where users are leveraging native tokens to unlock stablecoin liquidity without selling holdings.

Market observers generally treat such movements as early indicators of how actively a token is being used within decentralised financial applications, though volumes remain modest compared with larger established lending markets in crypto.
