This carnival is DGrid's ecological debut aimed at a broader community, welcoming more users to learn about and experience DGrid's products and services through the event.

AI Smart Routing and Infrastructure Network DGrid AI officially announces the launch of its AI inference API integrated with the x402 payment protocol. This API seamlessly merges payment logic with AI model invocation for the first time, allowing developers and AI Agents to complete authorization, inference, and payment within a single API request lifecycle without managing cumbersome API Keys or requiring centralized account pre-funding.It is reported that this API currently supports BNB Chain (BSC) as the underlying settlement network. With the micropayment features of the x402 protocol, the system can achieve extremely low-friction on-chain real-time settlement while ensuring that invocation costs remain absolutely controllable. Additionally, this API supports streaming responses and real-time usage feedback while being compatible with mainstream AI invocation methods, making it suitable for various application scenarios, including model selection for AI Agents, inference billing, intelligent agents, and multi-task execution.DGrid states that this initiative aims to completely break the prepaid barriers of traditional large model invocation and provide a programmable underlying payment infrastructure for building a fully automated AI Agent economy (machine-to-machine transactions).

AI infrastructure service provider DGrid officially launched its core product DClaw ------ a one-click personal AI agent deployment platform specifically designed for the DGrid ecosystem, aimed at significantly lowering the participation threshold for the open agent economy, providing out-of-the-box personal local AI assistants for individuals, developers, teams, and various communities.According to the official introduction, compared to the open-source framework OpenClaw, DClaw has achieved a comprehensive product upgrade. It focuses on true one-click agent deployment capabilities, compressing the technical configuration process that originally took hours into minutes; it natively integrates DGrid's unified model access API, allowing immediate access to top global models such as GPT-5.4, Claude Opus 4.6, Kimi K2.5 without the need for additional API key configuration; at the same time, it natively adapts to mainstream office and communication platforms such as WeChat, WeChat Work, DingTalk, and Telegram, enabling a single agent to operate uniformly across different environments.In addition, DClaw features a user-controlled persistent memory system and a hot-swappable modular skill plugin ecosystem, supporting multi-agent collaborative work to meet automation execution needs across various scenarios. Each DClaw instance can serve as an intelligent node in the DGrid network, achieving a deep integration of personal usage value and open ecosystem construction.Currently, DClaw has officially launched, allowing users to quickly build their own personal AI agents and participate in the construction of the DGrid open agent economy ecosystem.

NASDAQ-listed company AVAX One Technology (AVX) announced the advancement of its AI infrastructure strategy. The company has signed a FEED plan for a 10MW AI/HPC microgrid data center, located in Alberta, Canada, leveraging the local low-cost natural gas power to create a high-cost-performance, scalable dedicated AI computing facility. The project is designed by BlueFlare and is one of the first AI computing centers in the area.At the same time, the company invested less than $500,000 to purchase 220 Bitmain S21 Pro mining machines, increasing Alberta's computing power from 150 PH/s to over 200 PH/s. This move serves as a transitional cash flow source during the construction period of the AI center, achieving a dual-track layout of "mining + AI computing power" to quickly monetize existing power capacity.

Decentralized AI Intelligent Network DGrid AI officially announces the launch of Arena for Agent, allowing users to create their own AI Agent on the BNB Chain based on the ERC-8004 standard with one click, enabling it to automatically participate in AI Arena model battles and earn USDT rewards for you 24/7.Arena for Agent supports users in quickly creating their own AI Agent with one click and authorizing their idle AI API Key to their Agent, supporting multiple platforms such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, and HodlAI.

Decentralized AI Intelligent Network DGrid AI announces the official launch of its revolutionary product DGrid AI Arena today. This is a community-driven anonymous AI model battle platform designed to allow global users to participate in evaluating and defining the true quality of AI models in a fair and transparent "blind test" manner.DGrid AI Arena encompasses three core modules: AI Battle, Points System, and Rewards Section. Users can accumulate points by completing daily AI model voting tasks and inviting valid users. Points can not only be directly exchanged for USDT rewards but also participate in the weekly points leaderboard to share in an exclusive prize pool.In the AI Arena, users will see two anonymous models (displayed only as "Model A" and "Model B") answering the same question. Without knowing the identity of the models (which could be GPT-4o, Claude 3.5, or any other model), users vote for the winner purely based on the quality of the answers. The model names will only be revealed after voting. Each vote not only determines the battle outcome but also helps the DGrid decentralized network become smarter, more coordinated, and more transparent.DGrid AI is a decentralized AI intelligent network aimed at providing low-cost, highly available, and verifiable decentralized AI capabilities for Web3 developers and AI applications.

According to The Block, the widespread winter storm "Fernan" in the United States has forced Bitcoin miners to significantly reduce production to alleviate pressure on the power grid. The hashrate of the Foundry USA mining pool has dropped by about 60% since last Friday, from 328 EH/s to 139 EH/s. Approximately 200 EH/s of hashrate has gone offline across the network, causing Bitcoin block production time to extend from the standard 10 minutes to 12.4 minutes.This extreme weather has left over a million residents without power, and grid operators have issued energy-saving alerts. Other North American mining pools, such as Luxor, have also seen a noticeable decline in hashrate. The next Bitcoin difficulty adjustment is expected to decrease by about 15% to restore the pace of block production.

Current Bitcoin is consolidating, and gold is experiencing increased volatility. More and more traders are turning to grid strategies to capture range profits, profiting through automated grid trading systems that leverage price fluctuations rather than the overall direction of price movements.Bybit's spot grid supports adjusting the range at any time after creation, allowing it to continue capturing fluctuations even if the market moves out of the original range.Bybit's contract grid combines "grid shifting," allowing it to move with the market whether it rises or falls, continuously arbitraging.The Bybit Grid Trading Competition is about to start, with the competition running from January 26, 2026, to February 27, 2026 (UTC time 10:00-10:00).
