Riding on the momentum, TAU regenerated value
In any form of traditional banking, trust, security and privacy are all necessary to maintain user engagement. Traditional banking and financial services require trust in central institutions for reliable mediation and custody. From the user’s point of view, this display of trust dramatically increases the cost of add-ons.
On the other hand, in traditional financial systems around the world, there are more obstacles: inefficiencies created by verification procedures and middlemen, high risk of misoperation, and high barriers to entry. In addition, the arrival of the black swan of COVID-19 has cast a shadow over the traditional financial system, which is already struggling to develop.
With The expectation of The global financial market and people, The akashic Foundation and Around The Universe Labs founded in California, according to The concept of DeFi+NFT, Jointly created a new integrated financial system — The Track around The Universe (TAU). TAU aims to establish an ideal free market financial system, allowing all parties to store, trade and transfer value under The premise of minimizing risks and costs. And do to stimulate and guide the global economic market.
Super financial public chain——The Track around The Universe（TAU）
After several years of research and economic model exploration, Around the Universe Labs decided to combine DeFi+NFT and sustainable smart contract to create the most free and open financial service platform, while increasing the circulation of digital assets while maintaining the existing advantages of blockchain system. It provides users with one-stop financial services integrating asset management, financial derivatives, lending market, decentralized exchange and so on. Systemically, TAU has the following advantages：
Decentralized：TAU does not need to trust intermediaries, and trust is completely based on code. Anyone can build new financial products on the protocol and participate in them, and maintain high security；
High free、Open：Any user can participate in the TAU ecosystem with smart devices from anywhere to use efficient peer-to-peer transaction processing power and cross-border finance；
Highly liquid market：There is a free tokens circulation market in the TAU ecosystem, which brings high value-added asset circulation capacity to users. The more users participate, the greater the market potential；
Sustainable and circular ecology：With sustainable smart contracts, TAU has built a self-clearing and recycling system within the ecosystem. Transactions within the ecosystem are always in a preheated state. When any trade request is submitted, the smart contract will immediately respond and complete the trade；
Applicability of physical industry：TAU is not only the future possibility of the financial industry, but also applicable to the traditional real economy. Through the sustainable intelligent contract and commodity rights confirmation system, it provides low-cost, high-security industrial economic system for supply chain, commodity circulation, physical network and other links.
High-performance network, infinite expansion space and diversified system ecology lay the foundation for entering the metaverse.
The TAU are ready，embrace the virtual reality world of the metaverse in the future. The metaverse also has an independent economic system based on fundamental rules. The universal trajectory can add value to the business, industry, adventure, creation and many other fields of the metaverse.
For example, users in adventure games can use TAU’s TAU pass card to trade for items they need; TAU is used in commercial transactions to complete the delivery of goods; Convert fixed assets held in the metaverse into TAU and enter the market for trading and so on.
We can imagine a future metaverse in which any user can use TAU pass card for business transactions, entertainment payments, and even hard currency for adventure games. At this point, the financial system TAU intends to build can be realized in the real sense.
At a time when all kinds of decentralization concepts are popular, the huge value and financial reform brought by TAU have brought new winds to the industry, and we can have a glimpse of the general picture of the super financial public chain system. The arrival of TAU, so to speak, is the future of infinite value.

Cryptorefills launches x402 payments for AI agents, publishes agentic commerce reference
USDC payments on Base for AI agents at checkout, alongside open-source documentation of how merchants run agent-driven commerce.
Amsterdam, May 11th 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, 15:00 CEST. Cryptorefills has enabled x402 payments at checkout, allowing AI agents to pay for gift cards, mobile top-ups and eSIMs using USDC on the Base network. The protocol, developed by Coinbase and Cloudflare, lets autonomous software settle stablecoin transactions programmatically. Cryptorefills has also published an open-source operations reference for the merchant operations layer of agentic commerce.
x402 lets a software agent receive an HTTP 402 Payment Required response from a merchant, settle the requested amount in stablecoin, and complete the transaction in a single automated exchange. For Cryptorefills, checkout becomes a programmable endpoint that agents can call directly.
The x402 launch adds a second agent-payment rail to the platform. Cryptorefills released its Model Context Protocol server in October 2025, allowing agents to discover products, build orders, and complete purchases through MCP. x402 addresses a different pattern: the agent calls a Cryptorefills endpoint, receives payment terms, settles in USDC, and completes the request in one round trip. The two rails serve different agent contexts and run in parallel.
“We shipped x402 and open-sourced our merchant operations work in the same week on purpose. One is a payment rail, while the other is what a merchant needs around it to accept agent traffic. Agentic commerce is happening, and very little about the second part has been written down,” said Massimiliano Silenzi, CEO of Cryptorefills. “We’ve been running stablecoin checkout since 2018, and a lot of what we learned there carries over. We chose to publish what we’ve learned and continue building the rest openly.”
The reference repository, available at github.com/Cryptorefills/agentic-commerce, covers the operations surface that surrounds the protocol stack. Topics include catalogue discovery for agent buyers, settlement reconciliation across chains, quote-and-pricing handling, and delivery confirmations. Documentation is released under CC0; example code is Apache 2.0.
“In the repository we just open-sourced there are nine playbooks, the TypeScript schemas behind them, and five runnable examples. Two of them connect to our live MCP and x402 endpoints, so a developer can clone the repository and watch the agent-merchant exchange execute against production,” said Simonluca Landi, CTO of Cryptorefills.
Cryptorefills serves AI agents through three of the field’s emerging standards: MCP for context, Agent Skills for capability publishing, and x402 for stablecoin settlement.

Collaboration to focus on cost-effective capture and mineralization of biogenic CO₂ in Europe
Korea South, 11th May 2026, – SEOUL, South Korea & KORTRIJK, Belgium – South Korea’s ICEnergy and Belgium-based Emicap have partnered to deploy cryogenic carbon capture systems targeting biogenic CO₂ in Europe. The partnership combines ICEnergy’s proprietary capture technology with Emicap’s cryogenic R&D and market access, supported by Emicap’s sister company, LM Engineering, which provides industrial engineering and execution capabilities.
Dr. Sungho Park(icenergy0805@gmail.com), CEO of ICEnergy, stated that he hopes this partnership will enable ICEnergy and Emicap to take a further step toward realizing carbon neutrality in the European market. The collaboration comes at a pivotal moment following the successful demonstration of ICEnergy’s technology. Amid a rapidly expanding European market for biogenic CO₂ solutions, early deployment is critical to secure access to high-quality feedstocks and permanent storage pathways.
ICEnergy recently demonstrated a 10 ton/day cryogenic carbon capture system for both onshore and marine applications. The system converts flue gas CO2 directly into dry ice, avoiding the need for conventional separation and liquefaction steps. A key feature of the electrically driven process is the internal recovery and reuse of cold energy. By recycling this energy, external demand is reduced and consumption is focused on CO₂ conversion, resulting in approximately 30% lower energy use compared to conventional systems, supporting a low lifecycle carbon footprint.
Emicap integrates cryogenic CO2 capture with downstream applications by coupling emission sources from Waste-to-Energy and biomass plants to the carbonation of alkaline industrial residues such as steel slags and fly ash. To ensure seamless site-specific deployment, Emicap applies its cryogenic R&D expertise to tailor ICEnergy’s capture systems for these European industrial plants. This integration enables the permanent storage of CO2 while upgrading captured emissions and industrial residues into supplementary cementitious materials for use in low-carbon construction. By operating across the full value chain, Emicap helps offset capture costs, reducing reliance on institutional subsidies.
The partners are targeting removal of up to 200 kilotons of CO₂ annually by 2035, positioning the collaboration to contribute to industrial-scale, net-negative emissions.
