NodeOps Network $NODE Token Generation Event Sells Out in Minutes via Binance Wallet, Debuts Across Top Global Exchanges
Dubai, UAE, 30th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, NodeOps Network is thrilled to announce the successful completion of its exclusive Token Generation Event (TGE) on Binance Wallet, where $NODE tokens sold out within minutes of launch. The event, held on June 30 between 08:00 and 10:00 UTC, marked a major milestone for the project and showcased overwhelming demand from the global crypto community.
Hosted as the 27th TGE on Binance Wallet, this launch also marked a strategic first: participation was gated exclusively through Binance Alpha Points, a move that increased user engagement and rewarded Binance’s most active ecosystem participants with early access to NodeOps Network’ decentralized Compute coordination layer. In addition to Binance Wallet, $NODE is accessible on PancakeSwap, supporting broader participation while staying true to the principles of decentralization.

The introduction of Alpha Points as the sole access mechanism to the NodeOps Network TGE signals a clear shift in launch strategy. Traditionally earned through platform engagement, Alpha Points now serve as high-utility assets rewarding loyal, active users with exclusive opportunities to participate in Binance-curated launches.
Tokenomics for Sustainability
$NODE’s tokenomics emphasize stability, real usage, and economic alignment. With a total genesis supply of 678,833,730 tokens, the distribution model incorporates long-term vesting, protocol-based emissions, and a burn-and-mint equilibrium that ties token creation to on-chain revenue. This structure promotes a responsible token economy, ensuring that supply growth is directly tied to value creation, not speculative emissions.
In line with NodeOps’ commitment to transparency and user-centricity, it released a first-of-its-kind interactive tokenomics portal to help users model and better understand the dynamic nature of $NODE’s tokenomics. Its emissions follow a dynamic mint-and-burn model tied to real network usage, anchoring long-term value to platform demand.

Zilliqa 2.0 Launches: A New Era for Scalable, Institution-Ready, and EVM-Compatible Blockchain Infrastructure
Singapore, 30th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Zilliqa, the pioneering high performance Layer 1 blockchain platform known for bringing sharding into production, today announced the official transition from Zilliqa 1.0 to Zilliqa 2.0 — a major protocol upgrade that redefines the platform’s capabilities for developers, enterprises, and institutions alike.
As the industry matures, so do its requirements. With Zilliqa 1.0, the world witnessed that high-throughput, sharded blockchains could operate at scale. But in today’s rapidly evolving web3 world, the need for regulatory alignment, composability, and developer-first tooling is greater than ever. Zilliqa 2.0 addresses this with a re-architected, modular platform designed to support verifiable smart contracts, tokenized assets, and next-generation dApps. It represents a complete architectural overhaul, built to meet the demands of today’s blockchain landscape — from EVM compatibility and modular design to regulatory-ready infrastructure that enables tokenized real-world assets and compliance-driven DeFi.
“Zilliqa 2.0 is more than an upgrade — it’s a transformation. We’re building the blockchain institutions can trust without compromising on the speed, flexibility, or openness that brought us here in the first place. The next era of blockchain won’t be built on hype. It’ll be built on trust, transparency, and technical excellence. That’s what Zilliqa 2.0 stands for”, said Alexander Zahnd, interim CEO of Zilliqa.
Key Upgrades in Zilliqa 2.0
Zilliqa 2.0 launches with full EVM support, enabling seamless deployment of Ethereum-native applications and tooling. The platform’s modular design future proofs the chain for upgrades, scale, and protocol evolution.At its core are six foundational pillars: a modern Proof-of-Stake consensus, customizable x-shards, seamless cross-chain communication, light client support, and sustainable tokenomics. Looking ahead, Zilliqa’s roadmap includes smart accounts that will bring enhanced on-chain programmability, as well as zero-knowledge (ZK) features to enable privacy-preserving compliance tools like selective disclosure and verifiable credentials. Together, these upgrades deliver a blockchain that’s faster, greener, easier to build on, and ready for real-world adoption at scale.
This upgrade transforms Zilliqa into a blockchain that’s as attractive to institutions as it is to developers. Whether it’s fintechs launching programmable assets or compliance-driven DAOs building advanced tooling, Zilliqa 2.0 offers a production-ready base layer that bridges real-world needs with decentralized innovation.
“Zilliqa is now institution-ready and developer-friendly,” Zahnd added. “We’ve rebuilt the core to make sure we’re not just fast — we’re also open, composable and built for real-world impact.”
Continuous Commitment to Performance
With over 50 million transactions processed and one of the most proven sharding implementations in production, Zilliqa’s core performance is only accelerating. Validators remain integral to the protocol, and staking continues to offer attractive rewards as the network enters its next chapter.
With Zilliqa 2.0’s debut, staking receives a performance boost:, streamlined validator onboarding, and potential early high APR for users who migrate staking early from Zilliqa 1.0 to Zilliqa 2.0. This dynamic staking model is designed to incentivize early adopters while scaling sustainably as liquidity gradually transitions from the old to the new system.
Over a six-month Aventurine phase, 21 external validators tested the proto-mainnet, generating over 7.5 million blocks and completing 15 successful client upgrades. Now live on mainnet, Zilliqa 2.0 is powering projects building across tokenized assets, (regulated) DeFi, digital identity, fintech infrastructure, and more. Strategic integrations – such as partnerships with LTIN and deBridge (introducing native USDC) – are already expanding the ecosystem’s capabilities. With this momentum, Zilliqa is emerging as the high-performance Layer 1 where institutions, innovators, and real-world value collide.
If you’re a developer and want to build dApps on Zilliqa 2.0, please refer to the technical documentation.
About Zilliqa:
Zilliqa is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain platform built to power scalable, secure, and interoperable decentralized applications. As the first public blockchain to implement sharding, Zilliqa has consistently pushed the boundaries of blockchain infrastructure. With the launch of Zilliqa 2.0, the platform is evolving to meet the needs of institutions, enterprises, and developers seeking high-throughput infrastructure with the trust, transparency, and flexibility required for real-world adoption.

LF Labs (LF Coin) Breakout Steals Spotlight as Shiba Inu Price Targets $0.000017 Return
Dubai, UAE, 30th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, LF Labs (LF Coin) gained momentum today despite broader market pressure, drawing attention as Shiba Inu struggles to reclaim key levels. While SHIB battles resistance, LF Labs pushes ahead by building a full-stack Web3 ecosystem with real-world utility. The project’s growing influence and recent developments position LF Coin as a breakout contender in the crypto space.
LF Labs Builds End-to-End Crypto Tools
LF Labs is creating a unified Web3 infrastructure by combining its LF Wallet, PoS devices, and a powerful startup accelerator. The Low Frequency Accelerator fuels early-stage projects with both funding and liquidity, helping them sustain growth in volatile markets. Because of this strong foundation, LF Coin offers more than just a digital asset; it supports practical use cases and long-term value.
LF Coin trades at $0.000567 today, with a 24-hour volume of $750,308, showing strong investor engagement despite a 9.13% decline. However, the recent price dip comes amid a wider market pullback, not a specific project weakness. LF Labs continues to build momentum by offering real-world solutions that reduce fragmentation in the Web3 ecosystem and support seamless user access.
By supporting early-stage startups with both capital and trading infrastructure, LF Labs addresses a critical gap in the blockchain space. Unlike typical venture capital models, its program boosts token stability and market presence. As a result, LF Coin gains strategic importance for both retail users and businesses entering crypto.
Shiba Inu Eyes Recovery After Heavy Drop
Shiba Inu trades at $0.0000107, struggling to hold its footing after losing 25% of its monthly value. This decline followed panic selling triggered by US military actions, leading to broad crypto liquidations. However, SHIB is showing signs of a potential reversal from the $0.0000106 support level.
As the price rebounds for the third time in six months, a double-bottom pattern may be forming. If successful, SHIB could rise 64% to retest the $0.000017 neckline formed during its April rally. The key confirmation would come from a weekly close above that level, backed by rising spot volume.
RSI at 38 shows oversold conditions, suggesting buyers might step in soon. But the 50-day SMA above the price keeps short-term momentum bearish for now. Until SHIB breaks $0.0000168, bulls remain cautious despite historical support patterns.
LF Labs now leads in utility-driven growth, while Shiba Inu seeks technical recovery from long-term support. As short interest spikes on SHIB, a potential short squeeze could support upward momentum. But for now, LF Coin stands out as a more stable and practical crypto opportunity.
