Ika and Human Tech Reveal First Decentralized Zero-Trust Wallet-as-a-Protocol (WaaP)

Ika and Human Tech Reveal First Decentralized Zero-Trust Wallet-as-a-Protocol (WaaP)

The post Ika and Human Tech Reveal First Decentralized Zero-Trust Wallet-as-a-Protocol (WaaP) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Disclaimer: The below article is sponsored, and the views in it do not represent those of ZyCrypto. Readers should conduct independent research before taking any actions related to the project mentioned in this piece. This article should not be regarded as investment advice. Ika, the fastest parallel MPC network, has partnered with human.tech to introduce Wallet-as-a-Protocol (WaaP), a new category of decentralized wallet infrastructure. Secured by Ika’s breakthrough 2PC-MPC cryptography, the infrastructure features no vendor lock-ins, no renting of wallet, and full interoperability.  WaaP is the first infrastructure in crypto where wallet logic, key management, and access control are decentralized across a zero-trust network, providing wallet functionality via a decentralized Sui protocol rather than a centralized service. Until now, Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS), a popular infrastructure, gave apps too much control over users’ funds, making it prone to security issues and restricted usage to one app. Waap replaces that with a decentralized, zero-trust system where a user’s key share remains local, while Ika’s decentralized network operates the co-signing share. With the system’s high security, not even human.tech can access or reconstruct the full private key. Advertisement &nbsp This enables Human Wallet to transition from a service provider to an open, decentralized wallet infrastructure, allowing universal accounts to work seamlessly across dApps, devices, and chains through secured cryptography. David Lachmish, Co-Founder of Ika, said: “2PC-MPC changes what a wallet can be. It removes unilateral control, scales to real-world throughput, and for the first time, makes decentralized, flexible and secure wallets practical at the infrastructure level.” How WaaP works The WaaP protocol uses a 2PC-MPC (Two-Party Computation Multi-Party Computation) protocol that splits private keys into two independent cryptographic shares: the user share, held and authorized by the user, and the network share, operated by Ika’s decentralized 2PC-MPC network.

Stablecoins Are Replacing Speculative Tokens in Gaming Economies

Stablecoins Are Replacing Speculative Tokens in Gaming Economies

The post Stablecoins Are Replacing Speculative Tokens in Gaming Economies appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stablecoins are taking on a new role in the $350-billion global gaming market, according to a new report published by the Blockchain Gaming Alliance (BGA).  The BGA report argued that fiat-pegged digital assets, once viewed as only payment tools or decentralized finance (DeFi) liquidity, are now becoming the unseen financial infrastructure that powers how developers pay creators, price items and retain players.  The report said that stablecoins like USDt (USDT) or USDC (USDC) offer economic stability that speculative tokens lack. By eliminating volatility from in-game economies, they enable predictability, faster payouts and seamless asset exchange across platforms. Because of this, developers increasingly see stablecoins as the “monetary operating system” for gaming’s next growth cycle, the report said. Source: Blockchain Gaming Alliance Gamers choose stability over speculation Citing games like Roblox and Fortnite as case studies, the BGA said closed-loop currencies have proven how stable values enable users to keep spending and creators building.  According to the BGA, the top 10 Roblox creators earn an average of $38 million annually. The BGA said this income is made possible by fixed exchange rates that insulate them from market shocks.  BGA said this same predictability can be found in stablecoins, which merge the reliability of fiat-backed systems with the transparency and programmability offered by blockchain technology.  “Stablecoins are transforming fragmented, speculative game economies into scalable, player-first systems,” Sequence head of business development Amber Cortez said in the report. BGA report compares stablecoins to other in-game currencies. Source: BGA The BGA report framed the shift into stablecoins as a response to the failings of play-to-earn (P2E) models powered by speculative tokens. The BGA said games like Axie Infinity saw their user numbers collapse after their token values crashed. The report said this exposed how financial volatility undermines user engagement.  “The success of gaming’s biggest…

Solana Saga was shut down just two years after its release. Can Seeker, which has fully switched to Solana, avoid repeating the same mistakes?

Solana Saga was shut down just two years after its release. Can Seeker, which has fully switched to Solana, avoid repeating the same mistakes?

By Frank, PANews Solana Saga, the Web3 mobile phone once highly anticipated by the industry, saw its technical support terminated just two years after its release. It went from being largely ignored to a buying frenzy sparked by its airdrop, and then to its abrupt closure, rendering the devices of 20,000 early adopters practically "electronic bricks." Saga's dramatic turnaround has sparked widespread concern and profound questions across the industry: Is the encrypted phone a false proposition? Was Saga's brief but brilliant lifespan a costly failed experiment, or did it illuminate a nontraditional path to success for those who followed? These questions have become even more pressing as Solana Mobile transitions fully to its second-generation product, Seeker. Solana Mobile's End of Support Announced After Only Two Years: Multiple Considerations Behind the Scenes The Saga's abrupt end was surprising. Traditional mobile phone manufacturers typically provide technical support for a phone for 5-7 years. However, Saga's support ended after only two years. The main reason behind this may reveal the significant operational differences between smart hardware products and general Web3 projects. From a business perspective, the Saga project itself was almost destined to be a financial loss. Saga phones sold approximately 20,000 units, far short of their target of 50,000, and could not even cover the R&D, production, and marketing costs of the high-end hardware. Even niche models from traditional mobile phone manufacturers typically require shipments of hundreds of thousands of units to maintain their operations. Providing long-term support for an old product line with only 20,000 users was a heavy financial burden. To make matters worse, Saga's hardware partner, OSOM, went bankrupt in September 2024, making long-term firmware and driver updates nearly impossible. Therefore, abandoning Saga became a rational, even inevitable, business decision for Solana Mobile. They chose to cut losses and focus their limited resources on projects with a greater chance of success. From a hardware perspective, the Saga itself is a well-equipped, high-end Android phone. Compared to ordinary phones, its built-in security design and dApp applications truly address the pain points of transaction security and dApp access for heavy crypto users. However, Saga's failure demonstrates that these "product strengths" aren't enough to convince users to pay a $1,000 premium, as the vast majority of Web3 tasks can be accomplished on ordinary phones, albeit with a slightly different experience. The most immediate threat is a dramatic increase in security risks. As new security vulnerabilities are discovered, the Saga phone will become increasingly vulnerable to hacker attacks. This is undoubtedly fatal for a device designed to securely handle crypto assets. Secondly, there's the issue of "diminishing utility." As the Android operating system and dApps continue to evolve, Saga may be unable to run new versions of apps, ultimately leading to potential app failures and functional issues. Furthermore, Saga's past sales success wasn't due to the market rediscovering its strength as a mobile phone, but rather its value as a financial arbitrage tool. However, this model is unsustainable and fraught with risk. It attracts speculators seeking short-term profits, not genuine users loyal to the product and ecosystem. Once airdrop expectations fade or the market cools, this demand will quickly evaporate. As the most important hardware device in today's society, mobile phones are used in many more scenarios than just airdrops and crypto-currency activities. This is also the main reason why Saga can be sold but no one seems to be using it. However, the direct consequences of this business decision are borne by those 20,000 Saga users. Solana Mobile announced that it would stop all software updates and security patches, which means that these devices will be permanently stuck on the last security version in November 2024.   Surprisingly, there was little noticeable user reaction on social media regarding the support suspension announcement. Solana Mobile also remained silent following media reports, only increasing the frequency of reposts related to Seeker activity. This suggests that Saga's actual active user base may be significantly lower than the percentage of users who received the airdrop. From no one interested to hard to get one, the luxury airdrop brought a sales reversal Looking back at the life cycle of Solana Saga, it is like a roller coaster ride. In May 2023, the Saga phone officially launched, priced at $1,000, directly competing with flagship models from Apple and Samsung. Solana Mobile's original goal was to create a native Web3 device for crypto users and developers, disrupting the Apple-Google duopoly through hardware-level security (seed vault) and an uncensorable dApp store. However, this grand narrative failed to impress consumers. Upon its launch, the Saga phone received a lukewarm market response. By early December 2023, more than six months after its release, Saga sales had hovered between 2,200 and 2,500 units, a far cry from the "developer ecosystem critical mass" of 25,000 to 50,000 units set by Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko. To mitigate the decline, Solana Mobile slashed its price by 40% to $599 in August of the same year, but this move still failed to effectively stimulate demand. The mainstream tech community was even more ruthless, with renowned reviewer Marquis Brownlee (MKBHD) declaring it the "Most Failed Smartphone of 2023," a title that accurately summed up Saga's predicament. Just as Saga was about to be forgotten by the market, an unexpected catalyst completely reversed the situation: the MEME coin BONK. Every Saga phone came with an airdrop of 30 million BONK tokens. Initially, the value of this airdrop was negligible. However, with the full recovery of the Solana ecosystem by the end of 2023, the price of BONK soared exponentially. By mid-December 2023, the airdrop was worth over $1,000, far more than the phone's then-current selling price of $599. A clear arbitrage opportunity emerged: buy the phone, claim the airdrop, and reap an instant profit. The news spread virally on social media, and Saga's narrative instantly transformed from a failed tech product into a sought-after financial tool. Sales skyrocketed. In just 48 hours, Saga sales increased more than tenfold, and the phone quickly sold out in the US and Europe. A frenzied secondary market sprang up, with brand-new, unopened Saga phones fetching as much as $5,000 on platforms like eBay, more than eight times their retail price. The Saga became more than just a phone; it became a ticket to a potential future fortune from airdrops. The unexpected sell-out of the Saga offered Solana Mobile a new strategy: leveraging the potential for an airdrop to significantly stimulate market demand. They quickly seized the opportunity, announcing the release of their second-generation phone, "Chapter 2" (later renamed Seeker), in January 2024, just one month after the Saga sold out. As mentioned earlier, the Seeker capitalized on the lessons of the Saga: its price was significantly reduced to $450-500, with hardware more in line with mid-range pricing, targeting a broader mass market. The market response was explosive. Driven by strong anticipation for future airdrops, Seeker secured over 60,000 pre-orders within the first three weeks of pre-orders, ultimately exceeding 150,000, generating an estimated $67.5 million in revenue. Even before the phone shipped, the value of the $MEW and $MANEKI tokens airdropped to pre-order holders exceeded the phone's purchase price. In this sense, Saga served as a pathfinder, helping the second-generation product, Seeker, build an ecosystem of over 100,000 users and establish a sales strategy driven by airdrops. However, for the more than 150,000 Seeker pre-order holders, will their devices face the same fate as Saga in two years? Can a full shift to second-generation Seeker devices solve the Web3 mobile dilemma? Saga's experience forces us to re-examine the core proposition of Web3 mobile phones. Is it an innovation with real product power, or a "pseudo-demand" that relies on external incentives to survive? As a second-generation model, Seeker is attempting to avoid repeating the same mistakes. After discontinuing support for Saga, Solana Mobile has fully transitioned to the second-generation Seeker, a more affordable phone that also focuses on encryption. Starting at $500, it's half the price of the Saga, with a $50 discount for early pre-orders. Besides being more affordable, Seeker inherits some of the features of its predecessor while also undergoing hardware upgrades and adding several new user-friendly features, such as SeekerID and a revamped decentralized app store. Notably, Seeker also plans to launch its native ecosystem token, SKR, to incentivize developers and users, driving ecosystem development and achieving better alignment. While specific details of the token have yet to be released, officials have stated that it will be distributed directly to developers and users. Furthermore, Seeker is also strengthening its incentive program by linking other apps within the mobile ecosystem with activities. For example, Seeker and its Backpack wallet app launched a promotion offering waived transaction fees for the first $1,000 spent on Seeker mobile phones. On October 23rd, Moonbirds also launched a Seeker X Moonbirds SBT airdrop specifically for Seeker. Official data indicates that over 160 applications have been built within the Seeker ecosystem. But can this ecosystem truly change the current situation where users buy but don't use? The outcome remains uncertain. While Saga, the first product in the Solana mobile narrative, has successfully established a marketing model, it also exposes a core question: Is the core competitiveness of Web3 mobile phones commodity-based or financial? If it's just an airdrop ticket, are the heavy operating costs required of a mobile phone product truly necessary? If a Web3 mobile phone wants to remain competitive despite the airdrop expectations, what should be its core selling point in such a mature mobile phone market? Today, the market situation of the second-generation Seeker is much better than that of the Saga, but until these key issues are resolved, the fate of the Saga seems likely to repeat itself.

Aave’s Q3 showed resilient revenue and calmer rates — and Stani is eyeing a Q4 macro tailwind

Aave’s Q3 showed resilient revenue and calmer rates — and Stani is eyeing a Q4 macro tailwind

The post Aave’s Q3 showed resilient revenue and calmer rates — and Stani is eyeing a Q4 macro tailwind appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As markets melted on October 10, and many centralized exchanges stuttered, Aave didn’t flinch. The protocol automatically liquidated over $200 million in collateral, preserving solvency without disruption, as Aave founder Stani Kulechov told a DAS London audience last week during a panel on DeFi rate markets. “It was scary because of the size of the protocol today,” Kulechov said. “But things ended up well. DeFi really proved itself.” That resilience followed from a Q3 marked by steady deposits, healthy lending demand, and normalized rates. But looking ahead, Kulechov sees an even bigger shift coming: global rate cuts could reignite yield flows — and widen the rate spread between TradFi and DeFi. The quarter ended with Aave’s lending machine looking sturdy and, increasingly, boring — in the good way. The protocol’s revenue stack was led once again by net interest income, with flash loans and liquidations a comparatively small slice. That’s exactly how the system is supposed to behave in a normalized rate regime.  Blockworks Research financials dashboard makes it easy to see the mix in one view | Source: Blockworks Research A calmer rate backdrop also showed up in stablecoin supply APYs on Ethereum, which settled into the 3%–5% range after the late-2024 spikes. Source: Blockworks Research That normalization coincided with a steady climb in total deposits and outstanding loans, pushing Aave’s footprint back toward cycle highs across deployments. “What’s powerful about DeFi is transparency — you can actually see where the yield is coming from,” Kulechov said. All together, that added up to a record quarter for the protocol, topping Q4 2024 and reversing a two quarter slide.

Solana (SOL) & Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Top the List

Solana (SOL) & Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Top the List

The post Solana (SOL) & Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Top the List appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Lately, the market’s been a total circus; wild sell-offs one hour, surprise rebounds the next. Some tokens have quietly doubled while others have crashed without warning. Yet amid this turbulence, ChatGPT believes a handful of projects are positioning themselves for massive 2025 breakouts that balance strong fundamentals, real-world use cases, and viral momentum.  From Solana’s technical edge to Little Pepe’s fast-growing community, these are the five cryptos ChatGPT says could deliver explosive returns before the year ends. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The Meme Coin Turning Serious Heads Little Pepe is a meme coin with a twist: it’s built with structure, not chaos. ChatGPT highlights the project’s innovative Layer-2 framework, which powers lightning-fast microtransactions and real utility across NFTs and staking. Little Pepe has raised over $27.1 million, with more than 93% of its current presale stage sold out. The project’s mix of humor, gamified incentives, and its upcoming DEX launch is drawing both retail and whale interest. ChatGPT notes that investors are eyeing the project’s potential 50x upside once it lists, which is not unrealistic given how early meme coins with utility can dominate viral cycles. Its roadmap outlines the rollout of staking pools, NFT liquidity hubs, and a community-driven “Meme Launchpad”, a toolkit allowing creators to launch mini-tokens under the LILPEPE ecosystem. The presale’s rapid traction signals that investors are looking beyond short-term hype, viewing Little Pepe as a long-term Layer-2 meme play that could rival the viral impact of PEPE while offering deeper engagement opportunities. Solana (SOL): Performance, Developers, and ETF whispers Solana has rebuilt momentum after the past months’ turbulence and now stands out for raw throughput. Its sub-second transactions and low fees keep luring game studios, NFT teams, and DeFi builders that need scale. The network’s TVL and developer activity have crept back up, and rumor cycles…
