A rising star of DeFi : Whale Network
DeFi( decentralization finance) heat lasted a whole year. DeFi locked value rose from $2 billion in July to $11 billion in October, Throughout July and August, A number of DeFi Token appreciate more than 5-10 times. DeFi projects are popular. And this summer, NFT markets have also seen explosive growth, Trading volume soared 57%, bringing the market value of the industry to about $100 million. Investors involved in involved in the DeFi are profitable. Now, Developers are feverishly designing platforms that use NFT in innovative and surprising ways. A number of project parties and investors have turned their attention to“DeFi+NFT”, and this combination gives NFT more opportunities.
The new agreement in the art market allows you to divide the NFT into thousands and then regroup; the game platform sells land for a decentralized virtual world; and the loan agreement accepts NFT as collateral.
Whale Network NFT casting system
The full name of the NFT is Non-FugibleToken, meaning “non-homogeneous token “, which means that each token of this kind is unique and the price is different. Whale Network is committed to providing users with an open, equitable and interconnected decentralized financial ecosystem. In the project 1.0 plan, the Whale Network provides users with a variety of decentralized financial services from asset exchange to the implementation of automatic trading strategies to the creation of stable coins. Development Whale Network further improve its services by allowing users to mortgage real-world assets as collateral and borrow from them. To achieve this ideal, Whale Network 2.0 program, the NFT casting system, was born.
Physical assets NFT is a very promising industry, because the market space of physical assets themselves is already very large, and through the Whale Network NFT system, the ownership of property is now represented by the ownership of tokens. Transaction costs have now been reduced to the gas fee required to send NFT only to another address.
But the most critical problem of physical assets is the need for credible third parties to issue and accept NFT. To link NFT market trends, Whale Network will create a sound physical chain mortgage ecology through the DAO governance mechanism. Whale Network will start the first step of physical mortgage through cooperation with offline third-party trusteeship institutions and property management institutions to realize the chain mortgage of all things. Through the Whale Network NFT system, the regional restriction of real estate investment will be broken based on block chain technology, and the ownership of assets will be represented by token ownership, which will reduce the transaction cost.
Whale Network, as a pioneer practitioner of NFT chain, is steadily advancing the NFT casting system so that users can easily place real-world assets as collateral, borrow and mine, and lead the exploration of business innovation and application scenarios in the NFT industry. Whale Network believe that NFT will be the next step in DeFi development, more real-world assets on the chain, let more users benefit, is the mission and vision of Whale Network. Future Whale Network will have more development!
At present, the DeFi market is still in the early stage, the opportunity is huge. DeFi sector currently has more than $8.6 billion in locked assets, and the overall encrypted asset market value is about $350 billion, but it is still very small relative to CeFi. The GDP generated by the centralized financial system is very large. For example, the average 4.5% of the $20 trillion GDP, in the United States is generated by the financial industry, the traditional financial markets are millions of dollars, and the assets of the whole encryption field are less than 0.1% of its size.
“The GDP generated by these centralized financial services will be DeFi replaced in the future, including the chain of physical assets brought by NFT, and the opportunities for future development will be enormous, and Whale Network are trying to achieve it .” — said Thomas Kuhn co-founder of Whale Network.
Recently, Whale Network’s Whale Token is about to launch an initial public offering on uniswapex, Whale platform coin （WT） is the Whale network proof token, Has a variety of use scenarios. As the Whale Network delegate share of consensus rights, holders of the WT will directly participate in the consensus proxy vote. First, Users can pledge WT and get a series of stable coins such as WUSD. As the platform’s value exchange medium, WT can be used to pay for the consumption of resources within the community, the functions of the exchange platform, the consumption and the circulation of digital assets, and consumption and resource exchange of Whale ecology (e.g. GAS needed to use Whale-NFT). In addition, WT will be rated as a Whale crowdfunding platform, Decision voting, Exchange recommended items on the currency rights and other governance tokens. At the Whale strategic exchange, WT can be used as exchange platform currency, In addition, WT tokens can also be used for decentralized multi-scene market forecasting, Used to build markets, Transactions, Report and liquidation.

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.
