Geneva, Switzerland, October 23rd, 2024, Chainwire
Zyfi , a blockchain-based platform delivering enhanced on-chain experiences, has announced the launch of its public community sale, offering $150,000 worth of ZFI tokens. This follows a $350,000 sale for whitelisted users. The public sale represents the final opportunity for early participants to acquire Zyfi tokens ahead of the platform’s upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE).
Zyfi’s platform is designed to simplify on-chain transactions by leveraging Paymaster and Intent technologies powered by ZKsync. The company has formed partnerships with established platforms including Venus, SyncSwap, PancakeSwap, and Koi Finance, serving as their official paymaster. These collaborations enable gas-free transactions and the flexibility to pay gas fees using any token, supporting both externally owned accounts (EOAs) and smart wallets.
Zyfi has already processed over 1.7M transactions for more than 230,000 users on ZKsync and has deployed its smart contracts on three other chains: Cronos zkEVM, Abstract (backed by Pudgy Penguins), and PlayFi.
Powered by an API that streamlines protocol complexities, Zyfi’s approach simplifies user experiences and democratizes access, enabling broader on-chain engagement without the hassle of managing ETH for gas.
On October 8, Zyfi revealed a checker to participate in their community sale to purchase their ZFI token. The community sale is divided into two main phases: a Whitelist Phase, offering first access to Zyfi’s partners and community, followed by a Public Phase open to everyone. The Whitelist Phase presents various advantages, such as the opportunity to invest 48 hours before the public sale and receive a 10% cashback in ZK on the investment amount (e.g., $10,000 invested = $1,000 worth in ZK). The Public Phase is now open to anyone who believes in Zyfi’s vision of building the best on-chain experiences leveraging Paymasters and Intents, with the same terms as the Whitelist Phase but without the ZK reward.
The checker is now live, allowing users to determine which sale event they can participate in, providing advantages for whitelisted users while giving everyone the opportunity to invest.
The ZFI token is a utility token that can be used to pay gas fees on the Zyfi platform and Zyfi’s integration partners. Holders who choose to pay gas fees with ZFI benefit from a direct 20% discount on the total gas cost, making transactions more cost-effective. Additionally, ZFI is the only way to acquire stZFI, the governance token of the Zyfi DAO. By holding and staking ZFI tokens, users can participate in Zyfi governance, with 33% of the total supply under their control, influencing key decisions such as fee activation, reward allocation, and grant distribution. Stakers will also earn an APY in Zyfi staking points based on their staked amount.
Users can join Zyfi here.
About Zyfi
Zyfi is dedicated to enhancing on-chain experiences by utilizing technologies such as Paymaster and Intents. Through these innovations, Zyfi aims to streamline transaction processes and broaden accessibility for users within the digital asset space.

Peanut launches a beta of the first self-custodial offramp, allowing users to directly cash out any token on 20+ EVM chains to their bank accounts—without relying on centralized exchanges. This beta feature is being rolled out in the EU and US first.
This new beta feature creates an important bridge between crypto and fiat. Users can cash out funds from any token on 20+ EVM chains directly in US Dollars or Euros to their bank account, skipping the need for CEXes or other custodied solutions. This works by creating a bridge between the blockchains and fiat payments networks like IBAN, BIC, or SWIFT.
Peanut’s key feature is texting funds using QR codes or messengers such as WhatsApp, Telegram, email etc. With the self-custodial offramp, recipients can now transfer their funds directly to their bank account without the need to have a wallet themselves. This breakthrough in crypto accessibility makes transferring money across platforms frictionless and user-friendly. In addition to texting funds without worrying whether the recipient uses crypto or fiat, users of self-custodial wallets can now directly offramp into their bank account without using a CEX.
“Texting money is now possible,” said Hugo Montenegro, co-founder of Peanut and a Harvard graduate. “This is a major step toward simplifying crypto for everyday use, meaning you can send stablecoins through channels like WhatsApp, Telegram, Email etc. We use this to pay freelancers all the time.”
For the beta launch of this new feature, a discounted fee of $1 + 0.25% applies. The minimum cashout amount is $10.
About Peanut
Peanut is at the forefront of transforming crypto payments with its innovative fully decentralized self-custodial protocol – Peanut Protocol. It enables seamless, cross-chain and offramping transactions using seamless payment links. The platform allows users to easily send, receive, cross-chain swap and offramp funds to fiat currencies, making crypto more accessible than ever. Peanut’s unique secret-protected vault smart contracts provide top-tier security, ensuring that funds are only released when a private link is shared by the sender.
“Anyone can now send funds seamlessly”, said Derek, CTO of Reown.
With support for over 20 blockchain networks and plans to expand to Bitcoin and Solana, Peanut Protocol is committed to simplifying the crypto experience for everyone. As a non-custodial, permissionless solution, Peanut empowers users with full control of their digital assets. Leading blockchain projects such as Blockscout, WalletConnect, and Clave Wallet are already leveraging Peanut’s technology to enhance their user experience.

Today, the Stacks Foundation announced that leading security firm Asymmetric Research has joined the Stacks ecosystem as a security contributor to the leading Bitcoin L2. The team is already making significant contributions to the ecosystem, acting as an embedded security team during their audit of the upcoming BTC asset and joining the Stacks signer network through our delegation program.
Asymmetric has a proven track record of securing some of the industry’s most prominent protocols. It is the security partner for leading bridge Wormhole, Jump Crypto, several top DeFi projects, and leading protocols such as Solana, Cosmos, Berachain, and others. Asymmetric is also a core contributor to Solana’s highly anticipated new validator client, Firedancer.
Signers play a critical role in the Stacks network, securing the deposit and withdrawal process between BTC and sBTC, ensuring a seamless and secure transfer of BTC to the Bitcoin L2 ecosystem. Asymmetric will join other industry leaders in supporting the network and overall security of sBTC, including BitGo, Blockdaemon, Copper, Figment, Kiln, Luganodes, Chorus One, and more than 30 other institutional node operators, making the Stacks Signer network the most robust in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
The release of sBTC, expected in Q4 of this year, will offer developers a trust-minimized, decentralized, programmable Bitcoin asset. The asset is 1:1 Bitcoin-backed and will allow developers to leverage the security, network effects, and 1.2T in latent capital of the Bitcoin network. Among other use cases, sBTC will enable more secure forms of Bitcoin DeFi which is expected to be a major catalyst in activating the Bitcoin economy.
For any project, layers of security are crucial, and Asymmetric Research represents one more major addition to Stacks’ overall security program. This program already includes sBTC’s decentralized network of validators/signers (removing the need to entrust a single entity and mitigating counterparty risk) and sBTC’s design to include 100% Bitcoin finality, securing sBTC at the consensus level of a $2.5 billion network.
In addition to numerous audits, including Asymmetric Research’s audit efforts, other initiatives this year have added to a well-rounded approach to Stacks security. This includes direct and ongoing testing with the aforementioned leading Signers, the onboarding of Hypernative, the emergence of a dedicated whitehat security program, a consultation agreement with the Staking Defense League, an ongoing Immunefi bug bounty program, and dedicated Stacks Foundation Residents focused exclusively on fuzz and penetration testing throughout 2024.
“The value of building on Bitcoin comes down to security. It’s not enough to simply build on Bitcoin— ecosystems must prioritize securing activity at all layers as we collectively look to unlock the Bitcoin economy. With Asymmetric Research, the Stacks ecosystem is adding yet another high-caliber entity to the mix of industry leaders collaborating to make sBTC the best version of programmable BTC available. Stacks core developers and Asymmetric share a commitment to protecting users and developers, and in addition to being a match in technical pedigree, are culturally aligned groups that will enhance each other’s thoughtful and rigorous approaches.” Mitchell Cuevas, Executive Director at The Stacks Foundation said.
Jonathan Claudius, Chief Executive Officer at Asymmetric Research added, “Asymmetric Research is proud to participate in the Stacks ecosystem as it pioneers trust-minimized, decentralized assets like sBTC.”
Please join us in welcoming the Asymmetric Research team to the Stacks Ecosystem, and look out for more information in the coming weeks about how you can engage with the work they will be doing.
About Stacks
Stacks is a Bitcoin L2 that enables smart contracts and decentralized applications to use Bitcoin as a secure base layer. The 2024 Nakamoto and sBTC releases will bring faster speeds and transactions backed by 100% Bitcoin finality. Stacks is the current leading Bitcoin L2 by developer traction and market cap and is poised to help unlock Bitcoin and its $500B in passive capital as a fully programmable, productive asset. The Stacks (STX) token, used as gas on the L2, was the first to undergo an SEC-qualified sale in the United States. The project explicitly decentralized with the mainnet launch in 2021. In the Stacks ecosystem, there are currently 30+ contributing entities including a non-profit Stacks Foundation, a developer tooling company Hiro, Xverse, Trust Machines, Mechanism, Bitcoin L2 Labs, ALEX, Bitcoin Frontier Fund, and more.

Aventus, a leading provider of enterprise blockchain solutions and parachain on Polkadot, today confirms the launch of Aventus 2.0, an evolution of the Aventus Network aimed at establishing a stronger foundation for long-term growth and value capture.
The update introduces several strategic initiatives designed to enhance network performance and stakeholder utility, including increasing transaction volume and overall network usage, expanding the ecosystem through successful partnerships with Layer 3 appchains, enhancing token holder engagement via a liquidity mining program, and reducing token supply via a burn mechanism.
The vision for Aventus 2.0 was developed by MVP Workshop, a Blockchain Product Research & Development Studio who designed Polygon Edge and Astar Network, in collaboration with Scytale Digital and the Aventus Services team.
Following the approval of a community governance proposal in which AVT token holders voted in favour of executing this vision, the Aventus Services team will implement the Aventus 2.0 plan over the next four months. This process underscores Aventus’s commitment to stakeholder-driven decision-making, ensuring that major network decisions are made through community consensus.
Aventus 2.0 comprises three main components:
- A Layer 3 appchain model, whereby enterprises are able to operate on the Aventus Network and benefit from the security, scalability, interoperability and decentralised infrastructure offered by the Aventus ecosystem.
- A liquidity mining program on Uniswap, including a custom user-friendly dApp, to enhance token holder engagement. Appchains are also able to request grants from Aventus community treasury and launch their own liquidity mining programs to drive liquidity for their own tokens, contributing a portion of their token supply and network fees to the Aventus treasury to support the broader Aventus ecosystem and its development.
- A new collator rewards mechanism to ensure a secure and efficient Aventus Network, alongside an automatic burn mechanism for a portion of gas fees to reduce the overall supply of AVT tokens in circulation.
Alan Vey, Founder at Aventus, commented: “Aventus 2.0 builds on important learnings from existing Aventus Network clients as well as the invaluable expertise of our partners at MVP Workshop & Scytale Digital, and represents a significant milestone in our journey to enhance the Aventus Network’s capabilities and deliver greater value to stakeholders.”
The appchain model is already seeing traction, with existing users of the Aventus Network having recently launched their own Aventus Layer 3 appchains.
Barry Helfrich, CIO at Enigmatic Smile, adds: “We needed the Voucher Ledger solution to be secure, fast and stable enough to process the discounts collected by hundreds of millions of users in our rewards ecosystem — no small feat, but Aventus has helped us build such a solution. The team has been helpful, professional and responsive throughout the process. We’re looking forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with them.”
The updated network will provide enhanced functionality and improved user experiences, positioning the Aventus Network as a trusted leader in enterprise blockchain solutions and key contributor to enterprise use cases within the Polkadot ecosystem.

- The center is located in Expo City Dubai, a key tech hub in the region, to foster collaboration and innovation.
- Ghaf Studios and Sui aim to provide resources and funding to local Web3 founders and builders as part of a broader push for regional growth.
Sui, the Layer 1 blockchain known for its industry-leading performance and scalability, today announced the opening of its first SuiHub in collaboration with Ghaf Group, the leading blockchain partner in the MENA region. The center will be the first of several planned hubs worldwide, with Dubai strategically chosen as the first SuiHub location due to its thriving tech ecosystem and commitment to innovation.
The new hub, located in Expo City Dubai, will play a pivotal role in Sui’s mission to build a global network of Sui workspaces and community centers that empower builders to create decentralized applications and advance blockchain technology.
Specifically, SuiHub Dubai will provide Web3 startup founders access to workshops, technical support, and community-driven events, as well as resources, funding, and technical expertise, ensuring they have the support needed to launch and scale their projects using Sui’s blockchain infrastructure. The hub is expected to further cement Sui’s role as a leading platform for Web3 development in the MENA region, particularly as Dubai continues its rapid adoption of blockchain technologies.
“Dubai’s forward-thinking regulatory environment and commitment to blockchain innovation make it the ideal location for SuiHub’s global debut,” said Kostas Chalkias, Co-Founder and Chief Cryptographer at Mysten Labs, which developed the Sui network. “The city has established itself as a world leader in technology and blockchain innovation, and by opening SuiHub here, we aim to empower local and regional developers to create decentralized applications that will have a global impact. This is the first in a series of hubs we plan to establish around the world to provide builders with the resources and support they need to succeed.”
“Ghaf Group is extremely pleased to join with the Sui team in launching the first official SuiHub in Dubai,” said Feras Al Sadek, Co-Founder and MD of Ghaf Group. “The initiation of this innovative new resource for local builders and entrepreneurs represents a key milestone in the development of Ghaf’s venture studio arm. What began as a simple advisory has grown into a global initiative that will power technology advancement here for years to come.”
Kristof Lukovich, CEO of SuiHub, stated, “SuiHub’s mission is to empower regional blockchain startup founders by providing the resources and support needed to drive growth and further strengthen the regional ecosystem. Acting as a hub where talent, technology, capital, and opportunity converge, we foster collaboration and create new synergies. Our venture-building efforts are focused on bringing innovative solutions to market, while our Q4 accelerator program, in collaboration with Brinc, CoinList, Sui and Ghaf Group will be nurturing some of the most promising startup founders on a global scale. With a robust network of over 40 ecosystem partners, advanced in-house engineering capabilities, and a range of strategic initiatives, we are well-positioned to drive the future growth of the regional blockchain landscape. A key pillar of our mission is our partnership with the American University of Sharjah, where we have together launched a blockchain academy to cultivate the next generation of blockchain-savvy local leaders.”
The Expo City site, chosen to be the home of the new hub, has been recognized as a key location for companies focusing on cutting-edge technology, making it the perfect setting for SuiHub Dubai’s launch. The opening of SuiHub Dubai further strengthens Sui’s presence in the region, building on earlier initiatives such as the partnership with the American University of Sharjah (AUS) in early 2024, which launched the AUS-Sui Blockchain Academy. Additionally, Sui’s recurring community networking events, such as Sui Connect, have already laid the foundation for deeper engagement and collaboration with local developers, builders and enthusiasts.
With this launch, Sui reaffirms its commitment to building a decentralized, builder-led ecosystem that supports developers across multiple regions. More hubs are expected to be announced in the near future, each designed to provide localized support and resources for blockchain developers building on the Sui platform.
