The network said agents are already using Base to pay for inference, live search, market data, browser sessions, research workflows, travel tools, and other services.

Between October 2024 and February 2025, nearly 16,000 agents launched on Base through Virtuals, an AI agent platform that lets users create agents and…

World, the cryptocurrency project formerly known as Worldcoin, has entered a partnership with the rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars to introduce a biometric identity-verified ticketing system called ‘Humans Only Ticket.’ The initiative aims to prevent ticket scalping and ensure that tickets are purchased by real individuals rather than automated bots.

While the final…

Bitcoin’s latest pullback has started reshaping short-term market sentiment after weeks of aggressive upside momentum. Although the broader structure still favors bulls, recent trading activity shows that buyers have lost strength near the $82,800 resistance region. Consequently, Bitcoin now trades under critical short-term levels while traders monitor whether support around $76,000 can stabilize the market. The recent correction followed repeated failures near the upper resistance zone. Moreover, Bitcoin slipped beneath the 20-day exponential moving average near $78,100, increasing downside pressure across the market. Price action now shows a sequence of lower highs, which often signals weakening bullish momentum during a…

Faisal Monai, chair of Saudi Arabia’s largest tokenization platform, believed in digital payments years before bitcoin’s inception in 2009. By 2007, he had already led the transition of the Saudi Arabian kingdom’s $4 trillion cash-heavy payments system into a digital network. Before SADAD came into existence in 2004, the Saudi Central Bank digital payments system he designed, about 70% of bill payments across the kingdom were paid in cash at physical branches. People had to queue for hours just to pay a utility bill. Monai put an end to that linking every bank in the oil-rich country to every major…

Lighter, the Ethereum-based zk-rollup layer 2 built specifically for order-book trading, has integrated with Insilico Terminal, a professional-grade execution management system, in a move designed to attract systematic traders after order-book depth declined following its initial launch period.

Insilico users incur only a 1 basis point terminal fee when trading on Lighter. For non-premium users under certain conditions, there are no additional fees beyond that. Lighter itself charges zero fees for retail…

Origins Network has partnered with PinGo AI, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) project, to connect the world’s idle computing resources to an increasing array of AI developers and decentralized applications (dApps). As artificial intelligence continues to grow, it is moving toward increasingly advanced capabilities that require vast amounts of computing power. At the same time, major technology companies are acquiring much of the expensive hardware needed to support this development, making access more difficult for smaller participants. Small developers and startups thus often find themselves short on resources. This collaborative effort aims to address these resource constraints by providing…
