Network & Project Updates
PermaDAO announces its first batch of incubation projects and incubation guild partners.
Incubation projects include FusionFi Protocol, Aolotto, Lagent, Typr, and Rimbox.
Incubation guild partners include Permaswap, AOX, Apus Network, and 4EVERLAND.
Aolotto upgrades the Bet2Mint mechanism, introducing Reward Ladder and Gap-Reward.
The Aolotto protocol launched the new Bet2Mint mechanism on January 8. The reward ladder will categorize betting amounts into different tiers, each offering different $ALT rewards.
Additionally, a gap reward will be given to the last bettor in case of a long period without a new bet. This aims to encourage more betting activity and improve game efficiency.
FusionFi Protocol will soon launch the $FFP airdrop.
Initially, only transactions that pay fees with wAR or qAR will participate in the $FFP airdrop. In the future, more tokens will be supported for the airdrop.
$FFP airdrop will occur every 5 minutes, distributed based on the past 30 days of fee income to the Note issuers. Eligible transactions will receive $FFP rewards daily for 30 consecutive days.
PermaDAO launches AR.IO node to optimize Permaweb access experience.
Users can now easily access incubated projects via a dedicated domain (permadao.io), including aolotto.permadao.io, lagent.permadao.io, and more.
aoVest token offering tool (Token Launcher) goes live.
Users can now easily create tokens without needing development skills. The tool supports 4 bonding curve options and customizable price ranges. It also allows seamless liquidity transfer to Permaswap.
WeaveVM launches WeaveVM Bundler, enhancing EVM data storage efficiency.
WeaveVM Bundler packages multiple transactions into one, paying only a single base fee, reducing storage costs by approximately 15% on average, and increasing throughput by up to 40 times.
The block data settlement performance is significantly optimized, with theoretical processing speeds reaching 750 blocks per second, far exceeding Ethereum L1’s 0.25 blocks per second.
ArConnect Mobile introduces one-click website archiving to Arweave.
ArConnect Mobile introduces the Capture feature, allowing users to efficiently archive websites to Arweave. The process is simple, requiring only the signing of a transaction to complete the archiving.
$ACTION Points are set to launch, gradually decentralizing the platform.
Initially, $ACTION will be used as the currency within the Basejump platform, with plans for gradual decentralization in the future.
Permaverse launches $DUMDUM airdrop.
The total supply of $DUMDUM tokens is 1.984 billion, with a simple airdrop model. Unclaimed tokens will be destroyed after one week.
10% will be used for liquidity incentives over 3 months; 5% will be allocated to other AO communities, covering five communities, including DumDumz holders and AOX wAR bridge users.
Primus Developer Hub goes live, offering easy integration of trusted internet data.
Core features of the Developer Hub include data validation templates and project management modules. The data validation templates support custom data source URLs, integration of zkTLS SDK, and sharing or publishing to the template marketplace.
The project management module generates unique appIDs and appSecrets for each project, ensuring secure management and efficient integration.
