The decentralized AI intelligent network DGrid announced that its decentralized AI model marketplace (DGrid Model Marketplace) is officially online.The marketplace is open to three types of model providers: model developers, model fine-tuners, and model deployers with computing infrastructure capabilities. They can freely list models on the platform, set their own prices, and earn real-time settlement revenue when models are called. For developers, the marketplace provides a unified entry point to discover, compare, and directly call various models through a unified API, without the need to switch between different platforms or connect to multiple interfaces.DGrid stated that the model marketplace is the "supply side" of its network, working in coordination with the AI Gateway (access side) responsible for calls, connecting AI creators and users. Currently, DGrid has aggregated over 200 mainstream models, including Claude, GPT, Gemini, MiniMax, GLM, Kimi, and has more than 15,000 paid users.In terms of quality assurance, the marketplace is supported by DGrid's self-developed Proof of Quality (PoQ) mechanism. PoQ conducts independent, random sampling of model providers through the platform's own benchmark test set and records the verification results on-chain to ensure service quality and pricing transparency—this mechanism does not touch user call data. The core members of the DGrid team have doctoral backgrounds from institutions such as Stony Brook University and have published 4 academic papers related to PoQ.Currently, the DGrid Model Marketplace is officially online. Model providers can apply to join, and developers can also experience one-stop AI model discovery and access services through the platform.

Pendle co-founder TN and Head of Growth Dan reviewed the developments in the first half of 2026 during the latest community meeting and announced the roadmap for the second half of the year. The team stated that in the first half, Pendle's ecosystem focused on building fixed income infrastructure, with Pendle V2 continuing to solidify its position as an on-chain fixed income protocol, while Boros made initial progress in the on-chain interest rate derivatives market.Data shows that Pendle V2 had an average daily TVL of approximately $1.3 billion in the first half of the year, with 9 out of the 11 major markets on the platform adopting real-world assets (RWA) as collateral, reflecting that institutional funds are continuously flowing into the RWA sector. Additionally, Pendle has launched on the Monad network and within less than a month became one of the top five protocols by TVL on that network, with a locked amount of approximately $150 million. In terms of protocol upgrades, Pendle has completed the migration from vePENDLE to sPENDLE, with about 36% of PENDLE currently staked, of which 93% of stakers have not yet unstaked. The protocol has also utilized revenue to repurchase approximately 2 million PENDLE and significantly reduced weekly liquidity incentives from about 90,000 to 21,000, further enhancing capital efficiency.At the same time, Pendle launched an in-app one-click Loop feature to simplify the operational process of leveraged yield strategies. Another core product, Boros, has surpassed $14 billion in cumulative trading volume within less than a year since its launch, with the number of users increasing by 50% since the beginning of the year. It has also introduced four-legged arbitrage strategies, acceptance of block trades, and a funding rate data dashboard to meet professional trading needs. Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, Pendle will focus on advancing curation infrastructure, allowing external teams to create PT/YT markets, and promoting PT assets as collateral for lending protocols; at the same time, it will collaborate with partners like Morpho to launch Pendle-branded yield vaults, expanding distribution channels for fixed income products. In terms of institutional business, the team is working with several RWA issuers in New York, planning to introduce tokenized ETFs, single bonds, and other on-chain yield products to Pendle, creating a platform for institutional RWA yield discovery and distribution. Boros will shift its strategic focus to cross-exchange funding rate arbitrage, prioritizing services for institutional arbitrageurs, and plans to launch a peer-to-peer acceptance market, funding rate visualization tools, and one-click strategy products for ordinary users, further improving the on-chain interest rate derivatives ecosystem.
