ORC, The Dark Horse in OPEN Eco-Layout

Published

on

Scientific innovations are the driving force for times transformation. Following steam engines, electricity and computer, Blockchain has brought a new revolution to technology and industry of this era.

When it comes to the currently most-talked-about blockchain technology, the decentralized finance (DEFI) deserves a special mention.

As of June 2020, the daily value locked in DEFI has broken the record, now standing at 27.3 billion dollars. It has been nibbling away at the trillion-dollar digital currency market, growing continuously into a giant.

DEFI presents huge market dividends, attracting many industry pioneers to grasp the preemptive opportunities for participation.

OPEN – Bring a wider range of assets to DeFi

OPEN is right among them. OPEN Foundation has started the overall layout of DEFI industry since 2019. After prudent and comprehensive considerations, OPEN chose OnlyChain.

Based on its analysis of OC’s position ratio via its digital asset management company with BTC Grayscale as a benchmark, OPEN has long appreciated OC and set mind to build DEFI ecology on OC system.

Open Finance is a basket of open finance and currency protocol applications developed by OPEN Foundation on OC. Through the protocol matrix with strong composability, it aims to realize a huge financial machine that can run and evolve by itself to replace the current economic operating mode and become a decentralized full-domain world bank.

OPEN is the first team to propose and practice protocol matrix concept in the industry. Its mature and supporting DEFI infrastructure provides one-stop decentralized financial solutions for global users and a unified liquidity space to serve open finance of the future.

Open Swap – Decentralized Exchange

Asset trading and clearing are important parts of traditional economic activities. It is Open Swap that assumes the above responsibilities in the OPEN system.

Open Swap delivers one-stop on-chain trading services for users based on its three core technologies and 20000+ TPS. The transfer speed speaks for itself.  Also, the underlying operating system of OC does make Open Swap extremely competitive in processing large and low-frequency transactions, providing users with smooth on-chain trading experiences.

Open Lend – Hybrid Lending Market

Open Lend benchmarked against the lending and financial derivative issuance in the traditional economic activities can automatically calculate interest rates based on supply-demand change.

This benefits borrowers and lenders, making up for the opportunity cost of holding assets in an open financial network and getting rid of the fixed interests from the traditional financial market.

Open Stable – Asset Protocol Aggregation Platform

Open Stable is the center part of OPEN, allowing users to generate the stable assets OUSD (i.e. stablecoin asset protocol) from the secured assets.

OUSD is encrypted assets softly pegged to US dollars as asset collateral. It provides excess backed assets for users so as to effectively withstand vicious inflation.

And thanks to the technical advantages of OC, Open Stable enjoys high-speed asset transfer and delivery.

Open Link Oracle

OpenLink is the first distributed oracle on OC.

It is a vehicle that captures the value of Open Finance and OnlyChain ecosystem. It has defined and realized a new on-chain price generation and digital value capture plan to fix interoperability issues for the smart contract, which significantly enables it to be applied in finance, insurance, supply chain and many other industries.

Since all full eco-applications in OPEN financial system are built on OC, the above applications are exclusively confined to it. However, there exists a shortage in asset diversity on OC. So, how to achieve OCs interoperability with other blockchains to expand the Open financial ecosystem?

ORC – An ultimate solution to blockchain interoperability.

Open Reactor

Open Reactor – Cross-chain protocol

Open Reactor (ORC) is the first decentralized cross-chain solution on OC system and also the exclusive cross-chain protocol in OPEN system. It serves as a window for financial data and value exchange with external blockchains.

The core mechanism of ORC cross-chain solution is OrcVM, through which users can use BTC and ETH to generate OBTC and OETH on OnlyChain at 1:1 if asset security is guaranteed. Owing to the high-performance blockchain network of OC, users enjoy extremely low handling fees and high transaction speed.

ORC also allows users to transfer digital assets from OC system to other blockchain networks so that on-chain assets can be freely flowed, interacted and aggregated between different blockchains, thus bringing the entire cryptocurrency market back to its root.

The ORC cross-chain solution can be applied to any sub-application in OPEN system. That’s to say, in the years to come, ORC will be the exclusive channel for OPEN sub-protocol to expand its use scope and interact with other public chains. Its importance is beyond any doubt!

The financial sector is a pioneer in exploring the application of blockchain technology, with different institutions having varied blockchain-based layouts and applications. But there also exist some urgent problems of fragmentation.

ORC can realize asset, information and trade interconnectivity and collaboration between different blockchains, which provides broader imagination space for Blockchain’s further application in the financial sector.

ORC Value Analysis 

  1. Provide OPEN with a variety of practical cross-chain assets to make sub-protocol matrix connected.

OBTC and other cross-chain assets acting as a cohesive layer will run throughout the entire open financial ecology to make closer interactions between various sub-protocols, thus achieving a huge and autonomous DEFI ecosystem.

  • Integrate value of BTC and other mainstream digital assets into OC system for OC value expansion.

Relying on the digital token of Open Reactor, ORC will bring the value of Bitcoin and Ethereum into OC network so that asset liquidity of more public chains can be locked into it.

  • Offer an interactive channel between various OPEN applications and other public chains to expand the ecological layout.

ORC allows users to generate OBTC with BTC. These cross-chain assets can be uses as trade varieties, lending products and synthetic asset reserve resources between Open Swap, Open Lend and OpenStable, which immensely diversify assets in OPEN and promote their operation and deployment on the whole ecosystem.

  • Address problems existing in information interaction, asset transfer and business collaboration between the independent public chains and consortium chains of different industries, like banking, securities, insurance and real estate.

The financial sector is a pioneer in exploring the application of blockchain technology, with different institutions having varied blockchain-based layouts and applications. But there also exist some urgent problems of fragmentation.

ORC can realize the asset, information and trade interconnectivity and collaboration between different blockchains, which provides broader imagination space for Blockchain’s further application in the financial sector.

  • Push ahead with the rapid establishment of global financial integration or regional economic integration.

Cross-chain enables value to flow between different blockchains. During this process, users, data and scenarios can be well linked to finally build a larger value ecosystem. If cross-chain technology grows into maturity, blockchain in the future will become infrastructures like today’s highways, water and electricity supplies. This will greatly facilitate the free flow of value and promote global financial integration.

Conclusion

If OPEN is a new self-evolving and self-sustaining decentralized financial empire, ORC cross-chain solution will be its “reform and opening-up policy.”  Only by embracing a bigger external world can we accelerate the rapid and stable development of ecology and build a “sun-never-set empire.”

Press Release

Chinese humanoid robots gallop towards consumer market

Published

on

CGTN published an article on robot performances during China Media Group’s 2026 Spring Festival Gala. When the Year of the Horse arrived in 2026, all eyes were on China’s Spring Festival Gala. What unfolded was more than a cultural spectacle – it was a hard-tech showcase. Humanoid robots have become a recurring Gala centerpiece, signaling China’s push for next-generation AI-powered robotics. While some Western counterparts remain stuck as expensive prototypes, China’s strategy is moving from lab to production line. The cycle from spectacle to store is complete – and the world is watching.

Chinese humanoid robots have officially moved from lab prototypes to the center of the global stage.

At this year’s CMG Spring Festival Gala, the world’s most-watched television broadcast, four Chinese robotics powerhouses, namely Unitree, MagicLab, Galbot and Noetix, debuted their most advanced units to date. For the robotics industry, this was far more than a cultural performance; it was a high-stakes global product launch.

Global media hails China’s robot showcase

The Associated Press noted that humanoid robots have become a recurring Spring Festival Gala centerpiece – a clear signal of “China’s push to develop more advanced robots powered by improved AI capabilities.”

Major broadcasters like CBS praised the “seamless movements” of the units, while Spain’s El Español hailed the robots’ evolution from 2025 to 2026 as a “veritable revolution.” Last year’s robots were stiff and mechanical, but this year’s Unitree G1 units moved with fluidity and freedom, it said. The report also noted that the robots are commercial products – already available in Spain.

A window to China’s industry policies

The story of the “Gala Robot” can be traced as early as 2016 when the Shenzhen-based UBTECH debuted 540 small humanoid robots. By this year’s gala, the stage became unprecedentedly crowded with four distinct companies vying for a position.

Fueled by breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, the humanoid robotics sector has advanced at a pace beyond expectations. CMG data shows that China recorded over 140 humanoid robot manufacturers in 2025 with more than 330 humanoid robot models launched.

The explosion is a direct result of China’s humanoid industrial clusters, and this year’s performance reflects China’s industry policies, according to Reuters.

In 2025, “embodied AI” was written into China’s Government Work Report for the first time, signaling its elevation to a top-tier strategic priority. This momentum was further solidified in the Recommendations of the Communist Party of China Central Committee for Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development, which identified embodied AI among “new drivers of economic growth.”

Following this central guidance, local governments across China have rapidly integrated humanoid robotics into their economic blueprints, rolling out specialized support policies and incentives to secure a leading position in this high-stakes global race.

Reshaping the global industrial landscape

In the sketch comedy, Noetix’s “Bumi” robot navigated the nuances of a family skit, using humor to bridge the gap between a machine and a companion. In the short film, the robot was shown performing chores in a real-world home.

“Ultimately, technology is meant to serve people, not just exist for the sake of the technology itself,” Unitree’s founder Wang Xingxing said in an interview with CMG.

This vision is already translating into massive market demand. Within the first two hours of the Gala’s broadcast, searches for robots on an e-commerce platform surged more than 300 percent compared to the previous period. Customer inquiries increased by 460 percent, and order volumes rose by 150 percent. The new orders covered over 100 cities nationwide, spanning from first-tier metropolises to smaller counties.

Noetix CMO Zhang Miao explained to the press that China has moved from the factory floor to the commercial channel. “The real measure of a company’s health is no longer how many robots it can build, but how many it can successfully integrate into real-world scenarios.”

A new era of robotics is now taking shape – and it is firmly rooted in China.

Press Release

ChimpX AI Enters Final Presale Phase on AlphaMind, Strengthening Its BNB Chain–Powered Ecosystem

Published

on

The blockchain industry has reached a crossroads where scalability is no longer the only challenge; the true hurdle is now usability. As the BNB Chain ecosystem demonstrates remarkable resilience in early 2026—maintaining a market cap of over $90 billion despite wider market volatility—the launch of ChimpX AI’s Mojo SuperApp marks a pivotal moment for the network. By integrating AI-driven automation with the chain’s high-performance infrastructure, ChimpX AI is positioning itself as the primary gateway for retail users to enter the “Zero-Fee” era of decentralized finance.

Building on a Titan: Why BNB Chain?

The choice to launch the Mojo SuperApp (live at app.chimpx.ai) on the BNB Chain was a calculated move by the ChimpX AI development team. In 2026, the BNB Chain has evolved beyond being “just a fast EVM.” Following the successful Fermi hard fork in January, which slashed block times to 0.45 seconds, the network is now aggressively pursuing a roadmap of 20,000 transactions per second (TPS).

However, high TPS is meaningless if the average user is still intimidated by the technical debt of Web3. This is where ChimpX AI creates value. While the BNB Chain provides the “highway,” ChimpX AI’s Mojo SuperApp provides the “autonomous vehicle.” By utilizing Account Abstraction, Mojo removes the traditional requirement for users to hold native BNB for gas—a friction point that has historically alienated millions of potential retail participants.

The ‘DefAI’ Advantage in a Recovering Market

Current market conditions in February 2026 suggest a significant structural reversal. Bitcoin has found a solid floor above $61,000, and institutional interest is rotating into utility-dense sectors like DefAI (DeFi + AI) and Real-World Assets (RWA). Within this environment, ChimpX AI stands out by offering a live, functional product during its pre-sale phase.

The “Mojo” experience allows for seamless token swaps, lending, and portfolio management without the hassle of manual fee adjustments. As BNB Chain expands its “Zero-Fee” extensions, projects like ChimpX AI are the frontline beneficiaries, capturing the influx of new users who demand a mobile-first, “Web2-easy” interface.

Final Pre-Sale Round: The Path to $4M FDV

The momentum behind ChimpX AI is undeniable. Having already sold out public IDO rounds on SPORES and Poolz Finance—even during the “sideways” market movements of early Q1—the project has now moved into its final pre-sale stage on AlphaMind.

This AlphaMind round offers $CHIMP at $0.25 per token, valuing the project at a $4 million Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV). For an ecosystem already hosting a live SuperApp and a community of thousands, this valuation is seen by many as a major market inefficiency. As the project prepares for its PancakeSwap listing in February, the pre-sale represents the final opportunity for investors to acquire $CHIMP at institutional-grade prices.

A Wealth Generation Perspective

Market analysts are closely watching the $CHIMP price outlook for 2026–2027. With BNB projected to retest its four-figure all-time highs and potentially reach $1,200+ by 2027, the tokens that provide the most utility within that ecosystem are expected to see the highest beta.

For $CHIMP, the roadmap is clear:

  • Q1 2026: Establish a strong secondary market following the PancakeSwap debut.
  • Late 2026: Scale Mojo user base to 100,000+ active wallets.
  • 2027: Integrate advanced AI agents for automated, cross-chain yield strategies.

How to Participate in the Movement

The AlphaMind pre-sale is currently the most direct way to gain exposure to the ChimpX AI ecosystem ahead of the February listing. With a maximum commitment of $15,000 per wallet and a 25% TGE unlock, the round is designed to foster a decentralized and healthy holder base.

Axblade Marks Strategic Debut at Consensus Hong Kong 2026, Sets Clear Course for Compliant Finance  Infrastructure

Published

on

Hong Kong — February 18, 2026Axblade, a high-performance hybrid finance protocol, made its first international appearance at Consensus Hong Kong 2026, the premier Web3 conference held February 11–12 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre. The debut marked the protocol’s formal entry into the global stage, distinguished by sustained engagement at its exhibition booth, senior-level dialogue, and the early disclosure of its next-phase roadmap.

Debut Draws Sustained Engagement, Spotlight on Compliance-by-Architecture

According to public remarks from Hong Kong’s Deputy Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Christopher Hui, Consensus Hong Kong 2026 convened over 15,000 attendees from more than 100 countries and regions. Against this backdrop, Axblade’s exhibition booth maintained consistent traffic throughout the two-day event. All 500 Axblade units of custom merchandise were distributed amid vibrant, ongoing conversations at the booth.

Axblade Cofounder & COO Liam was on site for the duration of the conference, engaging directly with developers, institutional representatives, and compliance professionals from Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. The vast majority of conversations converged on a single structural question: how to bridge real-world assets onto chain with verifiable integrity while satisfying multi-jurisdictional regulatory requirements.

“The industry is no longer debating whether on-chain finance can be compliant—it’s asking what genuine compliance looks like at the architecture level,” COO Liam said during booth discussions. “The real dividing line is whether compliance is patched on as a constraint or embedded as a design feature. Axblade is built on the latter premise—not compliance that compromises performance, but compliance that performs. ”

What Axblade Is: A Finance Protocol Built on a Compliance-first Foundation

Faced with repeated inquiries about the protocol’s core identity, the Axblade team offered a consistent, distilled answer:

Axblade is an on-chain finance protocol engineered from the ground up for regulatory alignment.

“Compliance isn’t an add-on. It’s the foundation,” COO Liam said. “A structure without a foundation is a tent. We’re building permanent infrastructure.”

Unlike protocols that treat compliance as an access control layer or a post-hoc modification, Axblade embeds a programmable compliance framework at the base layer. This architecture enables verifiable data, programmable permissions, and auditable asset provenance—without unnecessary exposure of personal or institutional information. It is designed to support high-throughput, cross-border transactions while remaining adaptable to evolving regulatory regimes across jurisdictions.

Next Milestone: RWA Data Verification & Provenance Solution Due Q2 2026

Axblade also used its Consensus debut to provide early visibility into its next major development focus: data verification and provenance for tokenized real-world assets.

A persistent gap in today’s RWA landscape is the disconnect between asset representation on-chain and the verifiability of off-chain reality. Questions of physical existence, clear title, and continuous state validation remain largely unstandardized and unsolved.

Axblade confirmed that an institutional-grade framework for RWA data verification and provenance is in advanced development, with formal release targeted for Q2 2026. The solution is expected to combine zero-knowledge proofs, decentralized identity primitives, and on-chain state synchronization to establish cryptographically anchored assurances for real-world assets.

“Tokenizing an asset isn’t about putting a PDF on IPFS,” COO Liam noted. “True RWA integration means every unit of on-chain value retains a deterministic link to its off-chain source of truth.”

About Axblade

Axblade is a high-performance, hybrid finance protocol purpose-built to bridge real-world assets and on-chain liquidity. Through a compliance-native architecture and settlement-grade execution environment, Axblade enables capital to be issued, composed, and deployed across borders—programmably, transparently, and in alignment with regulatory requirements. Its long-term vision is to serve as foundational infrastructure for the next generation of on-chain finance.
