XION’s groundbreaking chain abstraction Web3 technology enables EarnOS to transform digital advertising, driving unprecedented user engagement and brand awareness for global companies.
XION, the first blockchain purpose-built for mainstream adoption through chain abstraction, announced the massively successful beta launch of the EarnOS platform which included a prominent ridesharing application, clothing, and accessory brands which together command a market capitalization exceeding $165 Billion. The initial campaign showcased how XION’s chain abstraction technology enabled EarnOS to build a platform that revolutionizes user acquisition, engagement, and rewards in the digital advertising space.
The EarnOS launch on the XION blockchain saw remarkable results, with over 200,000 verified users participating and more than 1,300,000 unique brand interactions ranging from social media acquisitions, bespoke advertisement campaigns, immersive augmented reality experiences and more. Participating brands overall achieved a 9000% boost in brand awareness coupled with significant growth on social media platforms.
These impressive metrics have prompted the aforementioned ridesharing company to substantially increase its planned spending on the EarnOS platform, which is disrupting the $1 Trillion digital advertising market through novel economic incentivization models. By leveraging XION’s advanced chain abstraction technology, the platform enables brands to acquire, reward, and engage users globally through targeted advertising actions in ways previously not possible.
“We’re seeing the future of Web3 unfold, where blockchain technology becomes accessible to mainstream audiences, opening up massive customer bases for participating brands,” said Burnt Banksy, Founder of XION. “The success of the EarnOS launch demonstrates XION’s unique ability to enable true consumer-facing applications and drive mainstream adoption by fully abstracting away crypto complexities.”
Key to EarnOS’ user-friendly experience is XION’s chain abstraction infrastructure. Users can log in with their email and interact seamlessly across all devices, without the need for seed phrases, plugins, wallets, gas fees, popups, or complex transaction signing. Additionally, global USDC micropayment rails enable advertisers to reach wider audiences through innovative economic incentives. This breakthrough in user experience, coupled with the power of blockchain technology, can position EarnOS and XION at the forefront of the next generation of mainstream-ready Web3-powered applications.

WienerAI (WAI), a new meme coin featuring AI technology, has just passed the $7.5 million milestone in its ongoing presale phase. The presale will conclude in two weeks, at which point WAI tokens will debut on the open market.
WienerAI Presale Countdown Begins Ahead of Planned DEX Listing
WienerAI’s presale has entered its final stage. The presale passed the $7.5 million mark earlier today, with 14 days left. Investors can purchase WAI tokens for $0.00073 each using ETH, USDT, BNB, or a credit/debit card.
WienerAI’s team has set aside 30% of the total 69 billion token supply for presale participants. This strategy ensures a wide distribution of tokens before WienerAI officially launches. WienerAI’s whitepaper notes that the developers plan to list WAI on a decentralized exchange (DEX) post-presale. No specific DEX has been chosen yet, and no launch date has been revealed. However, 10% of the WAI supply will be used to provide exchange liquidity.
Prospective investors can keep up to date on the latest WienerAI announcements by joining the project’s Telegram channel.
WienerAI’s AI-Powered Trading Bot Assists Investor Decision-Making
WienerAI’s team aims for WAI to be more than just a no-utility meme coin. It will fuel an AI-powered trading bot designed to simplify crypto investing for users of all experience levels. The bot uses natural language processing – allowing users to interact with it as they would with a human. Users can ask the bot questions about market trends, potential investments, or trading strategies. It then analyzes market data to provide insights and recommendations.
Ultimately, the bot is designed to level the playing field and give retail investors access to tools typically reserved for professionals. Investors will require WAI tokens to use the bot. However, investors can also stake their tokens to earn rewards over time.
In a recent video, YouTube personality Oscar Ramos praised this trading bot/staking combination. Ramos also discussed how WienerAI’s blend of AI and meme coin characteristics seems to have caught the attention of early investors.
About WienerAI
WienerAI is a new cryptocurrency project combining meme culture with AI technology. The project’s main feature is an AI-powered trading bot designed to assist users with crypto trading decisions.
Prospective investors can visit the WienerAI presale here.

This significant investment will propel the development of the company’s innovative stablecoin-to-fiat payment platform, set to revolutionise the way people transfer currencies across borders.
The funding included 1 round led by TNB Aura, with participation from global early-stage VC Antler, plus further strategic investment from EMO Capital, early backers of Filecoin and other notable VC and crypto investors highlighting strong investor confidence in PEXX’s vision and potential.
PEXX’s payment platform allows users holding stablecoins from Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC) to transfer their assets directly to a bank account globally. This platform will enable individuals and businesses to transfer value across borders with ease, without the need for intermediaries or bank accounts.
“We’re thrilled to have secured this significant funding, which will enable us to further develop our stablecoin-to-fiat payment platform,” said Marcus Lim, CEO and founder of PEXX. “The growth for stablecoins is exponential and we expect to see the demand from users who want to convert their USDT and USDC directly to a bank account to grow accordingly as stablecoins become more ubiquitous over the coming years.”

Angelina Tu, co-founder at EMO Capital said, “While many are building to bring traditional Internet users into the Web3 world, PEXX is building a compliant, respected, and protected bridge between the Web3 world and the real world, giving everyone a swift and easy access to converting their digital assets into their everyday purchases. This is what everyone in the Web3 world needs and where PEXX finds EMO’s staunch support.”
Vicknesh R, Partner at TNB Aura said, “PEXX addresses a critical need in the B2B cross-border Web3 payments space. With Marcus at the helm, we are excited to support their journey in transforming the financial landscape,” said Vicknesh R Pillay, Founding Partner of TNB Aura.
“We are excited to back PEXX as they build a transformative platform that bridges the gap between stablecoins and traditional banking. Their approach to simplifying cross-border payments align perfectly with our vision of fostering innovative fintech solutions,” said Jussi Salovaara, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Antler.
The AUSTRAC registration, obtained in May 2024, ensures that PEXX adheres to the regulatory standards, allowing PEXX to operate as an independent remittance dealer and digital currency exchange provider. This achievement underscores PEXX’s commitment to stringent compliance, robust security measures, and fostering customer trust.

Flare, the layer 1 blockchain for data, is delighted to announce that the SparkDEX team has chosen to deploy its advanced decentralized finance hub on the network, featuring an AMM and perps protocol. In doing so, SparkDEX will leverage Flare’s enshrined data protocols for decentralized data access.
The SparkDEX DeFi Hub is a “friendly fork” of the successful QuickSwap decentralized exchange on Polygon, and is supported by the QuickSwap team. It incorporates a high-performance DEX with a cutting-edge on-chain perpetuals platform that allows trades with up to 100x leverage. More advanced AI components and DeFi strategies will be added in future as the SparkDEX team continues to execute on its roadmap and vision.
5% of the SparkDEX total token supply has been allocated as an airdrop to reward early participants on the platform. 40% of this will be available for existing QuickSwap users. Flare and SparkDEX will also be added to the QuickSwap website network selector menu.
Anita Ng, BD Representative at SparkDEX, comments: “As a high-performance DeFi ecosystem looking to harness the most advanced infrastructure available in the industry, the SparkDEX team strategically selected Flare to leverage their enshrined data protocols. Flare’s comprehensive approach to data management sets its ecosystem apart as the go-to blockchain for data, which will support further innovation and data-driven decision-making on SparkDEX. This marriage of bleeding-edge DeFi with data interoperability from Flare will make a powerful combination.”
The flagship offering on SparkDEX DeFi Hub will be the V2 Perpetuals Exchange, launching later in July and taking advantage of the upgraded Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) for real time price feeds to protect against front running and false liquidations. It supports up to 100x leverage, with a range of possible order types, including a unique trailing stop loss feature to help traders protect their positions.
SparkDEX’s Chain Abstraction mechanism aggregates the major perpetual DEXES across 12 chains, including Arbitrum, Optimism & Polygon, and efficiently settles orders by selecting the most favorable route and rate for each trade. Powered by LayerZero, the general message passing network that recently integrated Flare, this abstraction mechanism will ensure users receive the best possible execution from their chain of choice. The DEX will initially offer perpetual futures positions on digital assets, adding commodities and forex once the relevant data feeds are live on Flare’s enshrined oracle, the FTSO.
SparkDEX V3 DEX, now live at https://SparkDEX.ai/, provides access to crypto trading pairs with ultra-competitive liquidity incentives, a generous revenue-sharing model where DEX fees are shared with token stakers, and comprehensive liquidity management. Supported by the Flare network’s new DeFi emissions program, industry-leading rewards are already available on the wFLR-sFLR and wFLR-USDX pools with more to be added in the coming weeks.
“After the recent community approval of the new Flare DeFi emissions program and the integration of LayerZero V2, the launch of SparkDEX is another huge milestone in the rapid advancement of Flare’s DeFi ecosystem. We look forward to seeing significant liquidity inflows into their pools and how that will accelerate the growth of DeFi on Flare. The launch of their perps DEX is going to be particularly exciting” said Flare Co-Founder Hugo Philion.
