LitVM Testnet Goes Live
Lunar Digital Assets to unveil ecosystem-wide development around Litecoin’s first Layer-2 Lunar Digital Assets , the leading full-stack blockchain venture studio, today announced the launch of the LitVM testnet, bringing smart contracts and programmable tools for advanced Web3 applications to the Litecoin ecosystem for the first time. This testnet will be live on April 15th. Advised by Litecoin creator Charlie Lee and supported by the Litecoin Foundation, LitVM is the first EVM-compatible Layer 2 built on Litecoin. The testnet represents a significant step toward establishing a hard money Web3 ecosystem centered on resilience, decentralization, and long-term economic integrity rather than short-term cycles. The testnet will allow teams to deploy early applications, stress-test performance, and provide data that will guide LitVM’s path to mainnet. Built-in collaboration with strategic partners is currently planned to include Litecoin Foundation, BitcoinOS, Arbitrum, QuickSwap, Lunar Digital Assets, Espresso, and Caldera. LitVM’s architecture adapts proven Bitcoin-based technology for Litecoin, unlocking the full spectrum of Web3 functionality for the network. “The industry has gone through many sharp corrections and is now recalibrating with renewed focus on fundamentals; but even in one of crypto’s toughest cycles, real teams keep building,” said Aztec Amaya, CSO of Lunar Digital Assets and LitVM Co-founder. “Litecoin is crypto’s most proven, cypherpunk hard-money, battle-tested freedom asset, and unleashing secure LTC, scalable programmability enables everyone to bring things back to first principles while staying innovative and taking our industry to the next level. This testnet is where the next chapter of blockchain begins.” “This is an important step in the maturation of the Litecoin ecosystem. Since creating Litecoin in 2011, Litecoin's development and awareness have remained focused on security, reliability, and accessibility for everyday transactions. LitVM extends these values into the programmable blockchain era," said Charlie Lee, Creator of Litecoin. "The Litecoin Foundation endorses LitVM’s initiative to unlock smart contract capabilities, as it is something many in our community have been waiting for. We’re hopeful it opens doors for developers to build DeFi applications, tokenize real-world assets, and create cultural experiences directly on Litecoin without compromising its security principles. We’re excited to see the potential wave of innovation this will hopefully catalyze across our ecosystem." Teams participating in the two-month testnet will contribute impact reports to ensure transparent, measurable progress early on. While the testnet includes incentives, the priority is technical maturity and ecosystem improvement. Participants will have access to technical support, business development introductions, eligibility for legal and audit credits, consideration for LitVM grants, and potential entry into the first LitVM Tesseract accelerator cohort after mainnet. Top contributors will be highlighted in LitVM’s content and impact reports. So far, more than 50 teams have already committed to developing dApps on LitVM, which is led by a team of Web3 experts, including AztecAmaya, Roc Zacharias, and Edan Yago. Advisors include Charlie Lee and David Schwartz, David Chaum, Mario Nawfal, and Michael Terpin, who bring deep experience in cryptography, partnerships, media scale, and strategic communications. Amid a challenging year for crypto, LitVM’s April 15 testnet offers a rare example of real technical progress. Supported by strong communities and experienced contributors, it adds programmability to one of crypto’s original hard money assets, signaling meaningful, forward momentum at a time when the industry needs it most. LitVM invites teams, auditors, researchers, and ecosystem contributors across Litecoin, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Arbitrum communities to participate ahead of the testnet launch.

Doginal Dogs Emerges as the Defining NFT Collection of the Current Crypto Cycle
NEW YORK, NY, March 26, 2026 — Doginal Dogs, a collection of 10,000 pixel-art inscriptions on the Dogecoin blockchain, has emerged as the defining NFT collection of the current cryptocurrency market cycle, recording sustained floor price growth, expanding community engagement, and increasing cultural visibility throughout 2025 and 2026. The collection launched as a free mint on January 11, 2024 with no presale, no venture capital funding, and no paid promotional activity. The founding team covered all transaction fees for early participants. Since launch, the collection has recorded a floor price increase exceeding 40,000%. Industry observers have drawn comparisons between Doginal Dogs and the collections that defined previous crypto cycles. Each major market cycle has historically produced a single NFT collection that captures the cultural momentum of the period and establishes new benchmarks for the space. Doginal Dogs has occupied that position in the current cycle through a combination of on-chain permanence, grassroots community growth, and mainstream cultural visibility. "Every cycle produces a collection that changes how people think about NFTs," said Christian Barker, co-founder of Doginal Dogs. "This cycle, that collection launched for free on Dogecoin." Doginal Dogs uses inscription technology to embed artwork directly into Dogecoin blockchain data. Unlike traditional NFTs that reference externally hosted files, each Doginal Dog is permanently stored on-chain and cannot be altered or removed. The collection was co-founded by Barker, known as Bark, and David Chaboki, known as Shibo. The project's Chief Financial Officer is a former executive with eighteen years of experience at Mercedes-Benz. The team has remained entirely self-funded since launch. Several factors have contributed to the collection's position in the current cycle. The free-mint launch model created broad initial distribution without financial barriers. The Dogecoin blockchain offers significantly lower transaction costs than competing chains. The founding team has maintained a daily live broadcast streak exceeding 1,000 consecutive days through the Crypto Spaces Network. And the project has hosted more than 20 multi-day community events in New York, Las Vegas, Miami, and Toronto. The collection's merchandise has appeared on Netflix programming. The Doginal Dogs Discord community has grown to over 15,000 members through organic growth. The founding team has been recognized at major blockchain conferences including Consensus and Token2049. Barker has received the Philanthropy in Web3 Award, and the team has raised millions of dollars for charitable organizations through community events and broadcasts. The Doginal Dogs daily broadcast is available through the Crypto Spaces Network on X. Additional information is available at doginaldogs.com.

Doginal Dogs Founders Advance Cultural Infrastructure for Web3 Through Global Community Engagement
Doginal Dogs, the Dogecoin-native NFT collection co-founded by Christian Barker (Bark) and David Chaboki (Shibo), continues to strengthen its position within the Web3 ecosystem by focusing on long-term cultural infrastructure, community engagement, and real-world participation. Originally launched as a free-mint collection of 10,000 pixel-art dogs inscribed directly onto the Dogecoin blockchain, Doginal Dogs has evolved into a globally recognized creative network. The project emphasizes accessibility, cultural continuity, and community ownership, aligning blockchain technology with shared identity rather than short-term market activity. Recent community-led activations surrounding Toronto reflect Doginal Dogs’ broader strategy of supporting regional participation within Web3. These gatherings prioritize open dialogue, collaboration, and creative exchange, allowing artists, builders, and collectors to connect outside purely digital environments. The initiative reinforces the project’s belief that decentralized culture benefits from physical presence and shared experiences. “Doginal Dogs was built to last beyond cycles,” said Christian Barker (Bark). “The focus has always been on culture, participation, and giving people a sense of belonging within Web3.” David Chaboki (Shibo) added, “Infrastructure in Web3 is not only technical. Community trust, communication, and consistency are what allow decentralized projects to mature and scale responsibly.” Under Barker and Chaboki’s leadership, Doginal Dogs has maintained a steady development approach that avoids speculative framing. Instead, the project emphasizes creative integrity, transparent communication, and sustained engagement. This approach has contributed to Doginal Dogs being referenced as a cultural benchmark for Dogecoin-based NFTs. The founders’ work reflects a growing shift within Web3 toward durable cultural frameworks that support long-term participation. Rather than positioning NFTs solely as digital assets, Doginal Dogs continues to operate as a living ecosystem—bridging digital art, community identity, and real-world collaboration. Looking ahead, Doginal Dogs remains focused on expanding its global presence through thoughtful community initiatives, creative partnerships, and inclusive participation models. The project’s ongoing activities underscore a broader vision: building decentralized culture that endures through shared values, not short-term trends.

Solum Global and DFINITY Partner to Build the U.S. Healthcare’s First Stablecoin Payment Platform on the Internet Computer
Solum Global, Inc. , a fully decentralized and permissionless blockchain protocol and DFINITY Foundation , creator and lead contributor of the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), today announced a strategic partnership to build an instant, transparent payment infrastructure for the U.S. healthcare industry, eliminating the 30-to-120-day reimbursement cycles that delay billions in provider payments. The platform will introduce sgUSD, a stablecoin purpose-built for healthcare transactions, running on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), a decentralized network that allows applications and services to operate fully on-chain without reliance on centralized cloud providers or legacy clearinghouses. Solum’s AI-driven system also identifies fraud, waste, and abuse, which is estimated to have cost the U.S. healthcare system $1.4 trillion in 2025. sgUSD and the Electronic Health Wallet sgUSD is a digital dollar for healthcare that is fully backed by U.S. Treasury instruments and cash reserves, with independent verification of those reserves recorded on-chain via HTTPS outcalls. Solum Global provides a seamless solution for the U.S. healthcare industry by integrating sgUSD with its proprietary Solum Solution Electronic Health Wallet (EHW), a platform that unifies Electronic Health Records, Revenue Cycle Management, and claims adjudication in a single decentralized application running on ICP canisters. The Solum EHW replaces fragmented web2 systems with a unified web3 gateway: clinical documentation links directly to payment execution and real-time insurance verification. Solum’s sgUSD “digital dollar” will also allow for near-instant settlement on DFINITY’s Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), the most advanced blockchain for transparency and auditability. The patient's electronic health record is readily accessible to both clinician and patient, enabling instant visibility of coverage, while also offering HIPAA-standard encryption and audit logs. Solum’s revenue model includes sgUSD transaction fees, interest earned on U.S. Treasury and other liquid assets, onboarding fees for new platform clients, a percentage of income from monthly gross billing of RCM clients, and a fee for immediate on‑chain Fast Pay settlements. “Healthcare systems are catastrophically slow and error-prone, with stranded capital in long payment cycles creating a financial crisis for many physicians and hospitals across the U.S.,” said Kirk St Johns, Founder of Solum Global. “By building on ICP, we’re deploying an entirely new architecture—one where smart contracts serve the application, AI audits every claim, and settlement happens in minutes. DFINITY’s technology is the only platform that makes this possible.” “The Internet Computer is a network that provides a novel open cloud platform. The network leverages advanced mathematics and computer science to host serverless software that’s immune to traditional infrastructure hacks and guaranteed to run. This provides an outstanding platform for AI-based applications and services where security, privacy, and resilience are paramount concerns, while also supporting end-to-end sovereignty. Validation of healthcare claims and routing of healthcare value flows is exactly the kind of application this new network-as-cloud technology stack was built for,” said Dominic Williams, Founder and Chief Scientist of the DFINITY Foundation. Why Solum Built on Internet Computer Protocol The DFINITY Foundation created the Internet Computer (ICP) as a decentralized cloud infrastructure that allows companies, governments, institutions, and individuals to host web experiences, store data, and run tamper-proof software entirely on-chain, without reliance on cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. The February 2024 ransomware attack on Change Healthcare exposed fragility in centralized healthcare, disrupting 40% of U.S. medical claims and exposing 192.7 million patient records, which cost $3 billion in damages. ICP eliminates these single points of failure by replicating data across independent nodes in geographically distributed data centers, so no single cloud vendor can be compromised. Compared to EVM chains, ICP offers dramatically lower storage costs, native web-serving, and sub-second finality. The network has maintained 100% uptime since genesis, and its technology stack provides Solum capabilities no other chain can deliver. Canister Smart Contracts: Solum’s Electronic Health Wallet (EHW), AI claims engine, and sgUSD ledger run inside ICP canisters—autonomous, tamper-proof compute units that serve a full web application from the blockchain, hold their own state, and finalize in one to two seconds. HTTPS Outcalls: Canisters natively fetch external data through consensus-verified HTTPS requests—no oracle middleware required. Solum uses this to pull live payer policy data, verify insurance coverage, and confirm treasury reserve attestations directly on-chain. Security & Privacy: Patient and provider authentication uses ICP’s Internet Identity - a password-less, biometric login anchored to chain-key cryptography that provides HIPAA-grade access controls without centralized identity servers. Health records are encrypted on-chain via ICP’s VetKeys protocol, which uses threshold decryption controlled by network consensus, so data is decryptable only by authorized parties—without exposing private keys to any single node. AI Inference: Solum runs its AI engine directly in canisters to audit claims in real time, flagging duplicate charges, upcoding, and billing anomalies before payment is released. Every AI decision is deterministic, auditable, and tamper-proof. Healthcare spending in the U.S. reached approximately $4.9 trillion in 2025, which is nearly one out of every six dollars in the economy. Solum’s partnership with DFINITY’S ICP to launch sgUSD will transform the way medical practitioners and patients interact by streamlining payment processes and securely managing medical history, paving the way for a more efficient and transparent healthcare experience.

Its platform integrates AI-powered claims adjudication, canister-based smart contracts, and the sgUSD stablecoin with a proprietary Electronic Health Wallet to deliver real-time, HIPAA-compliant healthcare payments. solum.global About the Internet Computer Protocol The Internet Computer, created by the DFINITY Foundation, is a sovereign blockchain that runs at web speed with unbounded capacity.

BitMart Launches Web3 Wallet, Creating a One-Stop Gateway for On-Chain Assets and Trading
BitMart , a global cryptocurrency trading platform, today launched the BitMart Web3 Wallet, aiming to provide users with a seamless experience that connects asset management and on-chain trading within a single platform. As the crypto industry continues to evolve, Web3 is steadily moving from concept toward broader real-world adoption. From on-chain trading and DeFi opportunities to emerging forms of digital assets, users are increasingly seeking a secure and convenient gateway to access the on-chain ecosystem. For BitMart, this launch represents more than just an additional product feature. It marks an extension of its broader ecosystem strategy. As one of the most fundamental infrastructures in the Web3 landscape, wallets are not only used for asset storage but also serve as key connections to on-chain applications, DeFi protocols, and emerging trading scenarios. The BitMart Web3 Wallet is designed with this vision in mind, allowing users to explore the on-chain world more naturally within the familiar BitMart App environment. Self-Custody Asset Management That Gives Users Full Control In the Web3 ecosystem, the principle that “users own their assets” is widely emphasized. The BitMart Web3 Wallet follows this philosophy by adopting a self-custody model, ensuring that users retain full control of their assets while the platform does not store users’ core credentials. One of the key highlights of the wallet is its smart wallet capability. The wallet supports two core modes to accommodate different user preferences and experience levels. The first is the Passkey + Trusted Environment Wallet (Smart Wallet). In this mode, users do not need to generate or manage traditional private keys locally. Instead, key management is handled through Passkey and trusted execution environment technologies, while being linked to the user’s CEX account for authentication and security management. The creation process is simplified: after logging into their account, users can automatically generate a keyless wallet that supports quick withdrawals, on-chain interactions, and asset management. Each account can create one smart wallet, which also supports cross-device recovery for improved security and convenience. The second option is the EOA wallet, which follows the traditional mnemonic phrase and private key model. Users can fully manage their own mnemonic phrases or private keys, freely importing, backing up, or deleting wallets. This mode is particularly suitable for experienced users who require multiple address management. Unlike the smart wallet, EOA wallets are not linked to a CEX account. Once a smart wallet has been created, any additional wallets generated will follow the EOA model. Both wallet modes can coexist within the same application, allowing users to enjoy convenience while maintaining full control over their assets. Basic features include asset viewing, transfers, and interaction with on-chain applications, with streamlined processes designed to make entering Web3 easier and more accessible. A One-Stop On-Chain Trading Experience Connecting DeFi Liquidity Beyond asset management, trading and liquidity access are also key functions of any Web3 wallet. From the beginning, the BitMart Web3 Wallet has placed strong emphasis on the on-chain trading experience. Through the wallet, users can directly access on-chain liquidity and conduct decentralized trading. Compared with traditional centralized exchange trading models, this approach aligns more closely with native Web3 ecosystems and enables users to explore emerging digital assets more efficiently. For users who actively seek opportunities on-chain, this capability is particularly valuable. The on-chain market evolves rapidly, with new projects and assets constantly emerging. Direct wallet access to on-chain trading enables users to respond more quickly to market developments. At the same time, the BitMart Web3 Wallet also features on-chain asset discovery tools, allowing users to browse trending assets and potential tokens. From discovery to trading, the entire process can be completed within a single interface. The design goal is simple: reduce the need to switch between different tools and create a smoother on-chain user experience. Balancing Security and Usability to Lower the Web3 Barrier For many newcomers to Web3, concepts such as private key management, transaction signing, and gas fees can feel unfamiliar and sometimes intimidating. When designing the Web3 Wallet, BitMart introduced several technological approaches to improve usability while maintaining strong security standards. For example, the wallet supports Passkey-based smart wallet creation, enabling users to complete authentication and device verification through simplified security workflows. In practical terms, users no longer need to remember complex credentials. Instead, device-level authentication can be used to confirm identity, preserving the security of on-chain assets while significantly reducing operational complexity. In addition, the BitMart Web3 Wallet includes built-in risk detection and alert mechanisms. When users interact with potentially risky contracts or tokens, the system may provide security warnings, encouraging users to review transactions carefully before proceeding. Security remains a central issue in the rapidly evolving Web3 industry. BitMart stated that it will continue to optimize the wallet’s security architecture and introduce additional technologies to strengthen overall protection. Expanding from Wallet to Web3 Ecosystem Gateway From a broader perspective, the launch of the BitMart Web3 Wallet is not an isolated product update, but part of the platform’s wider Web3 strategy. As more users begin interacting with on-chain assets, wallets are increasingly becoming the primary gateway to Web3 services. Through a wallet, users can not only manage assets but also access DeFi, NFTs, on-chain trading, and a wide range of emerging applications. BitMart aims to gradually integrate these fragmented functions into a unified ecosystem through its Web3 Wallet, allowing users to complete more activities within a single environment. The platform also plans to expand the wallet’s functionality by integrating additional on-chain applications and services. For users, this means a more complete Web3 experience. From asset entry and trading to management and participation in on-chain ecosystems, the entire journey becomes more seamless. Looking ahead, BitMart has already outlined a series of planned upgrades for the wallet. In the near future, the wallet will gradually enhance multi-chain support and introduce more cross-chain services, enabling users to move assets between different blockchain networks more conveniently. The team is also working on improving on-chain asset discovery and data parsing capabilities so that more tokens, NFTs, and DeFi assets can be automatically identified and displayed, reducing the need for manual configuration. In addition, future versions of the wallet are expected to introduce more intelligent features, including advanced on-chain trading tools, asset management and DeFi access points, payment capabilities, integration with prediction markets, and enhanced security detection systems. As these features are rolled out, the wallet will evolve beyond a simple storage tool into a comprehensive Web3 financial account. For users, this means a smoother on-chain experience where discovering opportunities, executing trades, managing assets, and participating in Web3 applications can all happen within a single entry point.

DeFi Infrastructure, Onchain Banking With Crypto ATM Card: Training Announced
The latest training initiative from the JBean team delivers step-by-step guidance to help new users understand how an on-chain Deobank platform model works and how to use its tools with confidence, clarity, and a long-term mindset. More details can be found at https://frank.jbeanwefiteam.com/ Many people stepping into DeFi for the first time encounter unfamiliar terminology, layered reward systems, and rapidly evolving Web3 infrastructure. The JBean team designed its onboarding program to flatten that learning curve through plain-language explanations and practical, screen-by-screen walkthroughs that help users move from curiosity to confident participation. The training pathway starts with accessible, foundational materials that explain the Deobanking platform, on-chain accounts, and how crypto and traditional finance can come together in a single ecosystem. Prospective users apply through the team and enter a guided onboarding sequence tailored to their goals, experience level, and risk comfort, so they can engage with the platform in a clear, structured way. Once inside the ecosystem, members receive guided setup support, including help with account configuration, ITO mining participation, energy accumulation mechanics, and the full spectrum of ecosystem reward options—always at a pace that fits each individual. “Most people don’t need more hype — they need clarity,” a JBean team representative said. “Our role is to help users understand what they’re doing and why, so they can decide whether this model aligns with their financial direction.” Beyond the initial setup, members continue to have access to live training calls, guided walkthrough sessions, FAQs, and regularly updated onboarding materials that support ongoing engagement and learning. The team also shares updates on new features, reward adjustments, and ecosystem developments so participants can maintain visibility and stay ahead as the platform evolves. This fully on-chain Deobank platform connects cryptocurrency and fiat functionality within a unified account structure, giving users direct control of their assets while unlocking virtual and physical payment cards, global transfers, and participation-based reward systems such as ITO mining and native token programs. All activity is recorded on blockchain infrastructure, enabling transparent, real-time verification and adding a layer of trust to every interaction. The Deobank platform recently received recognition as Digital Bank of the Year at the FinanceFeeds Awards 2025, placing it alongside leading fintech and crypto institutions and highlighting the growing importance of hybrid, onchain-first financial models. The JBean team emphasizes that the program is ideal for individuals who recognize that digital asset participation involves risk, but who also see the upside of learning, training, and team-based support instead of chasing quick guarantees.

SquareFi Launches Stablecoin-Based Financial Infrastructure for Fintechs and Global Platforms
SquareFi , the financial infrastructure for global business payments, today emerged from stealth to enable Fintechs and global platforms to move money faster, launch financial products quickly, and operate across 150+ countries with support for 25+ currencies. “Stablecoins will be the backbone of the modern financial system,” said Denis Spasibo, CEO & Co-founder, SquareFi. “In our conversations with businesses, the same challenge kept coming up: they couldn’t easily connect money, stablecoins, and payments, and ensure compliance. We built the infrastructure to make all of these systems work together, and the growth we’ve witnessed proves that this gap is real and urgent.” Modern Finance is Broken The current financial infrastructure was designed for a world where money moved slowly, borders were hard constraints, and digital assets didn't exist. Today, money, crypto assets, bank accounts, cards, payment rails, and compliance function as separate systems that don't work well together, forcing companies to compromise on speed, cost, and control. Cross-border transfers take days. Crypto-to-fiat conversion often operates in regulatory grey zones. Building financial products requires months of integration work across multiple vendors. Despite stablecoins surpassing $300 billion in market cap and a wave of regulatory clarity from MiCA and the proposed Genius Act, most businesses still struggle to access money and crypto payments through a single unified platform. One System for Accounts, Cards, Wallets, and Settlement SquareFi delivers a unified financial infrastructure layer combining business accounts with named IBANs, card issuing (virtual and physical), integrated crypto wallets, and seamless fiat/crypto conversion. The platform connects directly to major global payment rails, including SWIFT, SEPA, ACH, WIRE, and local rails, enabling businesses to move capital globally without switching providers. Stablecoins serve as the internal settlement rail, reducing cross-border transaction costs and accelerating cash flow without sacrificing regulatory compliance. The platform supports complex B2B use cases out of the box: multi-party settlements, cross-border payroll, crypto-fiat flows, and programmatic money movement that traditional banking infrastructure was never built to handle. Fintechs and global enterprises can deploy SquareFi as a direct API integration, white-label infrastructure, or a fully branded end-to-end solution, launching financial products without rebuilding their stack market by market. “Every system, from SWIFT to onchain settlement, was built in a different decade with different assumptions. Nobody designed them to work together. Businesses have been paying the price for that ever since, patching together workarounds that add cost, delay, and risk at every step," said Anton Lobintsev, Co-founder and CPO of SquareFi. "The financial industry spent decades pretending that wasn't a problem, but stablecoins made it impossible to ignore. We've spent the last year building the new infrastructure that solves this fragmentation.” About SquareFi SquareFi enables global businesses to move money faster, launch financial products quickly, and operate across 150+ countries with support for 25+ currencies, including stablecoins. Accounts, cards, crypto wallets, and on- and off-ramp capabilities are all managed on a single seamless platform. SquareFi has built the new financial infrastructure businesses can rely on.
