pos

Proof of Stake (PoS) is a blockchain consensus mechanism that determines the accounting rights and reward distribution of nodes based on the amount and duration of token holdings. Compared to Proof of Work (PoW), PoS reduces energy consumption and enhances the scalability and security of the network. Token holders participate in network governance and transaction verification by staking tokens, earning block rewards and transaction fees. The PoS mechanism is widely used in blockchain projects such as Ethereum 2.0 and Cardano, promoting the development of green blockchain.

first_img IBM will connect Digital Asset Haven to the Swift shared ledger, supporting tokenized deposit transactions

IBM announced that customers of its digital asset management platform IBM Digital Asset Haven can now connect to permissioned blockchain networks, including the blockchain-based shared ledger from Swift. A new beta version of the ISO 20022 message adapter allows financial institutions to initiate tokenized deposit transactions through this ledger using standard payment messages. IBM stated that financial institutions participating in Swift-related programs have tested tokenized deposits on this ledger using Digital Asset Haven. The ledger supports tokenized deposits issued by banks, enabling participating IBM clients to transfer digital assets around the clock, with final settlement still completed through existing systems.Swift first announced this ledger at Sibos 2025, based on a prototype developed in collaboration with Consensys, with over 40 financial institutions involved in its design, 17 of which are participating in the tokenized deposit pilot. Swift currently connects over 12,500 financial institutions across more than 200 markets worldwide. The aforementioned message adapter allows banks to continue using existing payment message formats and operational processes without adopting blockchain-specific workflows.IBM is also expanding Digital Asset Haven to a localized deployment beta version, which can be installed on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE in the client's own data center for managing digital assets such as stablecoins and tokenized deposits, without relying on public cloud infrastructure. IBM stated that the platform and key management layer are fully retained within the client's own environment, with keys protected by IBM Crypto Express hardware security modules.

first_img Apyx postponed the APYX token TGE, and the Season 2 allocation was raised to 9%

The digital credit protocol Apyx announced on September 23 that the TGE of the governance token APYX has been postponed to after the originally scheduled date of October 13, 2026, when rewards were planned to be distributed to Season 1 and Season 2 participants. The reasons for the delay are twofold: the core reserve asset STRC has experienced the deepest and longest drawdown in its brief history, the protocol has not been interrupted, and the Chainlink on-chain NAV, proof cadence, minting, and redemption are still operating under existing terms, but the volatility of digital credit exceeds the range shown by its short history, requiring more time to address; multiple institutions have proactively reached out, hoping to use their infrastructure to bring their assets on-chain.The additional time will be used to strengthen the core protocol and to build a broader RWA platform V1 before the TGE. Digital credit remains the reserve anchor and source of yield for apyUSD, with custody, proof, on-chain NAV, redemption, and compliance frameworks being opened to other issuers and asset types. Apyx stated that the zero-fee, instant redemption, government bond-backed aptUSD has been launched, making it the first asset in the ecosystem not derived from digital credit. The Pips plan will continue, and Season 2 will no longer end on the originally scheduled date of October 11; the accumulation under the existing multiplier will remain uninterrupted, and positions, commitments, Curve and Pendle positions, and lending positions will continue to score without any action required.Due to the extended accumulation period, the airdrop allocation for Season 2 has increased from 6% of the total supply to 9%. The new end date will be confirmed along with the new TGE date, and it will not end without prior notice. The allocations for Season 1 and Season 2 will still be fully unlocked at the TGE.

first_img Aave Founder: Aave V4 defaults to risk isolation, securing 1.2 billion dollars in deposits

The founder and CEO of the decentralized lending protocol Aave, Stani Kulechov, responded to various statements regarding Aave V4. He stated that the Hub and Spoke of Aave V4 are by default isolated according to risk characteristics, allowing risk-adjusted markets to share liquidity within set limits through the Hub to support new use cases while avoiding unnecessary fragmentation of liquidity. He believes that completely isolating liquidity often splits funds, reduces utilization, and increases user costs, which becomes more apparent after the incentives used to guide liquidity end.Stani mentioned that in V4, Spoke represents the lending market, and the Hub can share liquidity between these markets, allowing isolated risk characteristics to utilize the capital pool, thereby improving utilization and capital efficiency. Unlike typical curation vaults that start with zero liquidity and require funds or incentives to guide them, V4 Spoke can rely on the entire Hub balance sheet from the first day of launch. He also stated that the V4 architecture is simpler and remains flexible, with the overall codebase significantly smaller than Aave V3.According to him, Aave V4 has secured $1.2 billion in deposits and is deployed across multiple networks, including Ethereum, Avalanche, and Arc. V4 has supported third-party curators like EtherFi, allowing curators to build and manage complete market structures and participate in the economic distribution of a broader lending market, rather than just charging fees for managing deposit scales.

first_img After 11 years of operation, BitMEX has stopped trading and deposits, retaining only withdrawals

The cryptocurrency derivatives platform BitMEX has ceased trading, deposits, and opening new positions, retaining only the withdrawal function. The platform announced on social media platform X that as of this Tuesday at 04:00 UTC, the aforementioned services will no longer be available. Users can still log in and withdraw their balances through the official website, but deposits have been confirmed as impossible. BitMEX was co-founded by Arthur Hayes, Ben Delo, and Samuel Reed in 2014, known for promoting perpetual contracts as mainstream trading tools in the cryptocurrency derivatives market.BitMEX urges customers to withdraw their funds as soon as possible and states that account fees will be charged to users with completed KYC certification who still have a balance, billed monthly, at a standard of 1% annualized on assets or a minimum equivalent of $50, whichever is higher. The company emphasizes that this shutdown does not freeze customer assets, and the withdrawal channel remains open during the liquidation process.BitMEX announced its closure in July this year, following a strategic assessment by its parent company HDR Global Trading, as the exchange's market share in the perpetual contract market it helped create continued to decline. According to research data from CoinDesk, the monthly trading volume of centralized cryptocurrency exchange derivatives reached $3.4 trillion in August, with an annual scale potentially reaching $50 trillion. Previously, BitMart also announced its shutdown in July after nine years of operation due to market conditions.
