SoftBank Focuses On The Layout Of The Metaverse With AOS To Create A Brand-New Future
Recently, Softbank Ventures Asia publicly announced that it has begun to focus on Metaverse and invested in the AOS project. It will cooperate with AOS to connect and integrate more Metaverses in AI, NFT, robotics, and other fields, and carry the development of large-scale killer applications.
The enthusiastic investment in Metaverse has not subsided, but it has risen again. The technology giants have all entered the Metaverse. Facebook plans to fully transform into Metaverse before 2025, and will set up a product team to accelerate investment in VR/AR and the creator community; Bytedance, which has always believed in Striving for Miracles, merged Mutong Technology for 4 billion USD, and begin to lay out the Metaverse; Axie Infinity builds NFT games based on the Metaverse, subverting the traditional game mode and becoming a phenomenon-level game product; miHOYO, the developer of “Genshin Impact”, formed an AI scientist inverse entropy team, and self-developed Avatar Luming to explore the brain-computer interface. Through investment, miHOYO has successfully deployed the social Metaverse Soul; the Internet industry is renewing and iterating rapidly, and companies need to attach importance to meet unknown concepts and challenges or be left behind by the times.
In the Metaverse era, everything has virtual avatars. The concept of Metaverse seems to be still in the mist today, but the prelude to the new era has been opened, and it is closer than you think.
The popularization of the term Metaverse was cited from the novel Avalanche by American science fiction writer Neil Stephenson in 1992. In his book, he used the word Metaverse for the first time without foundation and described it as a parallel universe projected from the real world through technical means such as the Internet. However, anyone who has watched the movie “Ready Player One” by the great director Steven Spielberg should probably understand this concept. Like the “Oasis” in the movie, the company has created a realistic virtual world outside of the real world. Every player in the real world has another identity in the virtual world, establishes another social circle, and leads another life. Although the Metaverse is only a virtual world, its immersion is so vivid that you will think it is the real world and enjoy life in this new world.
AOS (Artificial Intelligence Operating System) is the first operating system developed by Canada Unicorn Park, based on the underlying blockchain technology to connect the Metaverse. By building a Metaverse bridge online, and using robots as an intelligent carrier offline to build an ecosystem between Metaverses and provide a new experience for integration with Metaverse and the real world.
Based on AOS, users could create an AI NFT that has autonomous consciousness and advanced self-learning capability; And it also gets influenced by the distributed personality database on the chain to build character, and gradually complete neural network-style self-learning and improvements. Most of all, the distributed character database is based on the “Book of Changes” and appropriately constructs the character of AI; users can inject their favorite characters, personalities, voices, etc., into their own AI NFT, and tame it to learn more skills. AOS encourages users to integrate more characters and personalities, combined with NFT to create different artistic values. The custom AI itself has NFT attributes. Users can customize the appearance of AI on the network, and can also authorize access to a third-party character customization system, such as specific character images and voices, and third-party NFT star voices and appearances, packaged in the form of NFT used for trading and collection.
AOS connects the first-generation physical carrier, the AI four-wheel driving robot Mars_1 with the Metaverse and the real world, creating a new user experience.
Mars_1 is a highly integrated artificial intelligence robot product. Its appearance is in the form of a four-legged driving robot dog. It adopts an original five-layer motion control technology and several technical indicators are in a leading position in the global industry. Mars_1 has integrated the Internet of Things, 5G, virtual reality/augmented reality, intelligent driving, swarm intelligence, and other technologies. Mars_1 will obey commands and gradually be closer to a dog and then become to a good assistant to humankind.
On the road to the Metaverse, AOS always hopes to leave a strong and colorful stroke in its own way. Connect the Metaverse through AI and map out the experience and lifestyle of the future. For the world that people dream of, high-intelligence AI coupled with linkage with robots will be an indispensable component of this era. As the aboriginal and basic units of the Metaverse, these virtual species based on AOS will continue to establish connections with us beyond human beings in the infinite space and time of the future, transcending the fetters of races.
Sun Zhengyi believes: “We are about to experience the biggest change in human history. AI will eventually replace human beings. This is not only reflected in knowledge but also in intelligence. This change will happen in this century, and then in the next 30 years, there is no doubt that our focus is on AI, intelligent robots, and the IOTs.” Based on this analysis and judgment, SoftBank has frequently carried out large-scale layouts in the fields of AI, intelligent robots, and IOTs. Start from all aspects to create a powerful robot empire. Today, SoftBank’s industries have completed the layout of the future of the new Internet field as Sun Zhengyi said in the past, and completed more than half of the investment of unicorn companies on a global scale, laying a foundation for the subsequent development of the IOTs in the world.
As a world-renowned “Animation Kingdom”, Japan has an irreplaceable influence in the global animation field. After half a century of development, the Japanese animation industry has formed an extremely large system, making Japan the world’s largest animation production and exporting country, and it also around animation IP to derive cultural and creative products, such as GK. With the development of smart technology, they also work hard in the direction of intelligence for GK. Headquartered in Japan, SoftBank has a unique geographical location and is deeply immersed in Japanese IP culture. This collaboration with AOS will further promote the combination of the GK industry and the AIindustry, and provide AOS with a steady stream of IP resources. Users’ favorite characters such as Luffy, Conan, Sailor Moon, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Inuyasha, etc., can inject their image and personality into AI to create your smart figure. Each AI figure is a unique individual, and different parameters also create different expressions and styles. At the same time, when users have more exchanges with AI, they will gradually become familiar with the user’s temper and preferences and adjust their apparent personality in real-time and dynamically making it infinitely close to the form that we want to see eventually.
The product made by a single company is not enough to be called a Metaverse but constitutes an ecological system. With the deep participation of users, if it is successful in collective efforts to build a more interoperable system, and it can be transformed into different layers, then it should be called a Metaverse. AOS is committed to becoming the link between the physical world and the virtual world, as a bridge between various Metaverses to connect the Metaverse and continue to build a new Metaverse ecology. This will be the top priority in the next stage of the development of the Internet after the mobile Internet.
What kind of world will mankind be in the future? SoftBank Asia and AOS have worked together because of the same concept for Metaverse and jointly created such a grand concept, standing at the forefront of the Metaverse economic tide, seizing opportunities, embracing the new future, and believing that with their win-win cooperation, they will give a perfect answer for the world.

SMS Gadget: Bangladesh’s Authorized Best Shop Delivers Latest iPhone Just One Day After Official Launch
Apple retailer SMS Gadget will bring the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Fold to Bangladesh just one day after Apple’s global launch. Prices start near ৳170,000, with 0% EMI available and pre-orders open now at 10% down. Available at 13+ branches nationwide and at smsgadget.com.
Dhaka, Bangladesh, 27th Aug 2026 – SMS Gadget, one of Bangladesh’s authorized Apple retailers, will bring the newest iPhone lineup to its stores just one day after Apple’s global launch, a turnaround most local retailers can’t match since unauthorized shops typically take weeks to stock new models.
As an authorized retailer, SMS Gadget sells only genuine Apple devices, sourced through official channels rather than grey-market imports. Every unit comes with full international warranty coverage and direct after-sales support, backed by the company’s pricing on the new lineup detailed below.
Customers won’t need to wait weeks or risk unofficial imports. They get the new iPhone at a transparent iPhone price, backed by a warranty that actually holds up.
Company Background
Founded in 2021, SMS Gadget has grown into one of Bangladesh’s leading electronics retail chains, offering smartphones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches, home appliances, and tech accessories. All genuine and authorized products.
The company has built a strong base of repeat customers, supported by a dedicated after-sales team and a 0% EMI facility that lets buyers pay in easy installments. That combination of authentic products, consistent service, and flexible payment options has established SMS Gadget’s reputation as a trusted name in Bangladesh’s electronics retail market.
Product & Launch Detail
SMS Gadget will launch the full new iPhone lineup in Bangladesh this year. The lineup includes the iPhone 18 Pro, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the iPhone Fold. All three models arrive one day after Apple’s global launch.
The iPhone price in Bangladesh runs higher than the global price. This is normal. Imported phones carry VAT. That adds extra cost on top of the base price.
The iPhone 18 Pro Max price starts near ৳170,000. It goes up to ৳280,000 based on storage size. Pre-orders are open now. Buyers pay just 10% in advance. The final iPhone price locks in on delivery day, not booking day.
Why This Matters
This speed brings real value to customers. There is no week-long wait. There is no need for grey-market imports.
The products are authorized. Buyers get full international warranty coverage. They get a genuine product guarantee. They get direct after-sales support too.
Most other retailers in Bangladesh take weeks to stock new iPhone models. Many use unofficial import channels. Warranty support is often limited or missing.
SMS Gadget’s model stands apart. Authentic products reach customers faster. Real service backs every sale. It is not just a sale. It is a guarantee that stands behind it.
Statement from SMS Gadget Leadership
Mahide Hasan is the founder of SMS Gadget. He has a clear, long-term goal. He wants to open stores in every district of the country.
“We want every Bangladeshi to have access to genuine products,” said Mahide Hasan, founder, SMS Gadget. “This goes for buyers in cities and in rural areas alike. We aim to offer affordable pricing and reliable service as the country’s digital economy keeps growing.”
Additional Offers
SMS Gadget is marking the launch with special offers. The 0% EMI facility now covers the entire new iPhone lineup. This makes it easier for customers to own the latest device without financial strain.
The company has also set up an exclusive in-store experience. Customers can visit flagship outlets and explore the new models hands-on. They can try the phones before taking them home.
Availability Info
The iPhone 18 lineup will be available at SMS Gadget’s 13+ branches across Bangladesh. It will also be available on the official website, https://smsgadget.com/.
Customers can place preorders online. They can also visit their nearest outlet directly. For stock updates, pricing details, or booking help, customers can call the SMS Gadget hotline at 09617887733.

Singapore, Singapore, August 27th, 2026, Chainwire
TermMax, a fixed-rate lending protocol built by Term Structure Labs, announced on August 26 that it has received a strategic investment from YZi Labs. Terms were not disclosed.
TermMax was selected for YZi Labs’ EASY Residency Season 3 and has raised more than $8 million to date. Its earlier backers include Cumberland DRW — which led the 2023 seed round — HashKey Capital, Decima Fund, Longling Capital and MZ Web3 Fund.
The protocol has been live on mainnet since April 2025 and now runs across 10 EVM-compatible chains, with 60 fixed-rate markets, 40 strategy vaults, tens of millions of dollars in total value locked and more than 1.5 million registered wallets. Keyrock, Hardcore Labs, Edge Capital and Origami serve as Curators, managing strategy vaults on the protocol. The $TMX token completed its TGE on August 25.
The investor’s own public position points to the gap this investment is meant to fill. In an August 14 post describing what it wants to see built, YZi Labs wrote that tokenized blue-chip equities have reached meaningful volume, but that the financial application layer around them — credit, collateral management, risk transfer and structured products — remains underdeveloped, and that options and other risk-transfer products in particular remain conspicuously absent.
YZi Labs placed this investment precisely where that gap sits.
“When I left banking, there were a few hundred billion dollars of assets sitting on-chain without a single directly observable interest rate curve between them. In traditional markets, that would be unheard of. That is what made me decide to build this infrastructure on-chain.” – Jerry Li, Co-founder and CEO, TermMax.
Tokenized equities are the fastest-growing asset class on-chain, now at $2.48 billion, with holder count up 165% in 30 days.
TermMax integrated Ondo Global Markets in January 2026 to launch the first fixed-rate borrowing market to accept tokenized U.S. equities as collateral, then added Binance’s bStock. In August it went live on Robinhood Chain, where QQQ, SPY and NVDA can be posted against USDG.
But financing is only half of what tokenized equities need. Nearly all of this year’s tokenized-equity infrastructure has gone into perpetual futures, and almost none into options.
TermMax Alpha is where that changes: physical delivery options, with no liquidation before expiry. The conversion price is fixed when the position is opened, and the position is settled by physical delivery at expiry. A directionally correct position therefore cannot be knocked out by a few minutes of volatile trading in thin liquidity — the failure mode that makes perpetuals unsuitable at the illiquid end of tokenized equities.
This no-liquidation design rests on a choice running through the whole protocol: when liquidation does happen, it settles by physical delivery, with collateral delivered directly to the lender rather than sold into the market. The usual assumption — that collateral can be sold at fair value on demand — holds for ETH and fails for a tokenized equity with a few million dollars of depth.
On the institutional side, TermPrime completed its first live trade on Canton Network at the end of June and has since grown its counterparty network to nine institutions.
TermMax runs an early validator node on Canton, and TermPrime is ready to support lending business for institutions there through open markets.
TermMax holds a DeFiSafety Process Quality Review score of 93%, matching Aave V3.
“What we set out to do is not to teach traditional institutions DeFi. It is to let DeFi grow into something professional enough to genuinely serve finance.” – Jerry Li, Co-founder and CEO, TermMax.
What TermMax wants to be is not another lending protocol, but the on-chain interest rate curve itself.
About TermMax
TermMax is a fixed-rate, fixed-term borrowing and lending marketplace built by Term Structure Labs, live on mainnet since April 2025 and deployed across 10 EVM-compatible chains, where it runs 60 fixed-rate markets and 40 strategy vaults. The protocol splits debt into three tradable tokens: FT (principal), XT (interest and option value) and GT (an ERC-721 receipt for leveraged positions). Professional Curators set target APR ranges across isolated markets and manage strategy vaults, and liquidations settle by physical delivery of collateral. Co-founder and CEO Jerry Li has 25 years in global financial markets and served as Managing Director at Deutsche Bank, running fixed income and FX for Greater China.
