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.

Right Away Locksmith, a 24/7 Houston-based locksmith company owned by Chavah Rachel Rottman, is highlighting that not all locksmith services are the same — emergency, residential, commercial, and automotive locksmith work each require different skills and tools. The release uses this distinction as its news hook, explaining how choosing the wrong type of help during a lockout can cost people time and money. It features a quote from Rottman urging residents to understand these service categories before an emergency happens, then walks through what each category covers. The release closes with a direct call to action: save the company’s number now and call 832-850-5261 for round-the-clock help. It wraps up with standard boilerplate, contact details, and SEO metadata optimized around “Houston Locksmith,” “Emergency Locksmith,” and “24/7 Locksmith.”
Houston, Texas, United States, 14th Sep 2026 – Not every locksmith call is the same, and Houston-area residents are being encouraged to understand the different types of locksmith services available before an emergency strikes.
For homeowners, drivers, and business owners across Houston, a lockout can happen at the worst possible moment, and not every locksmith call resolves it the same way. Emergency lockouts, rekeying, commercial access systems, and automotive key replacement each require different tools, training, and response times, yet many callers do not realize these fall under different service categories until they are standing outside a locked door at 2 a.m. In a city the size of Houston, where residents commute long distances and businesses often operate outside standard hours, knowing who to call, and why, can make the difference between a five-minute fix and an hours-long ordeal.
“Most people do not think about what kind of locksmith they need until they are already locked out,” said Chavah Rachel Rottman, Owner of Right Away Locksmith. “Knowing the difference between an emergency locksmith, a residential locksmith, and an automotive locksmith can save people time, money, and a lot of stress when something goes wrong. A general handyman or an unlicensed provider often cannot handle the specialized tools that modern locks and vehicle key systems require.”
Right Away Locksmith serves the greater Houston area around the clock, offering emergency lockout assistance, residential rekeying and lock installation, commercial access and hardware services, and automotive key and fob solutions. Understanding the different types of locksmith services available helps residents choose the right response for the situation, since a home lockout calls for a different skill set than a broken key in an ignition or a commercial door hardware failure. Residential work typically involves rekeying, deadbolt installation, and lock repair after a break-in or lost key. Commercial locksmith work covers master key systems, access control, and hardware for offices and retail spaces. Automotive locksmith services, meanwhile, require specialized equipment to cut and program transponder keys and fobs for late-model vehicles. Emergency locksmith service overlaps with all three categories, since a lockout, a broken key, or a failed lock can happen at a home, a vehicle, or a business at any hour. The company’s technicians are dispatched 24/7, with response times built around genuine emergencies rather than scheduled appointments.
Houston residents are encouraged to save a locksmith’s number before an emergency happens, not after. Anyone locked out of a home, vehicle, or business in the Houston area can call Right Away Locksmith at 832-850-5261 for immediate assistance, day or night.

Right Away Locksmith is a Houston-based locksmith service providing emergency, residential, commercial, and automotive locksmith solutions 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Singapore, Singapore, September 14th, 2026, Chainwire
PopDEX a trader-first perpetual decentralized exchange, has surpassed $61 million in total value locked (TVL) and $2 billion in cumulative trading volume during its Closed Beta, as the perpetual decentralized exchange builds early traction ahead of broader market expansion. The platform now supports 66 trading pairs spanning major cryptocurrencies, RWA-related markets, and emerging assets.
The milestones provide an early indication of trading activity and liquidity developing on PopDEX while access remains in Closed Beta. The platform has used this period to test its market structure under live conditions, gather feedback from traders and liquidity providers, and expand the range of markets available through its onchain trading environment.
“Closed Beta was meant to tell us whether traders would actually use what we were building, and $2 billion in trading volume gives us a pretty clear answer,” said Zach Prater, Head of Traders at PopDEX. “The more important part now is what we learn from that activity. Traders are telling us where they want deeper markets, faster execution, and better tools, and we’re using that feedback to shape PopDEX before we open it more broadly.”
PopDEX is building around a CLOB-based market structure designed to support professional liquidity provision while maintaining a responsive trading experience for individual users. Through block batch processing and intra-block transaction ordering, the platform targets approximately 100–150ms execution responsiveness under normal conditions. More frequent index-price and mark-price updates have also been introduced to support liquidation monitoring, conditional orders and risk management, while the platform continues to test liquidation and ADL scenarios under extreme market conditions.
Market coverage has expanded alongside the underlying trading infrastructure. PopDEX has added crypto, RWA-related and community-driven markets throughout Closed Beta, most recently introducing perpetual contracts for PONS, CASHCAT and MARSCOIN in response to interest around Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain assets. Further market expansion is planned as PopDEX develops broader global asset exposure.
Closed Beta has also served as a live development environment. Feedback from traders and API users has informed improvements across account access, deposits and withdrawals, position management, risk visibility and API execution. PopDEX is now extending that work toward a more trader-friendly mobile experience through H5 browser support and a dedicated mobile app.
The platform is also experimenting with how trading incentives are structured. Its third Closed Beta reward distribution recognized early traders and community contributors, with the highest reward in the latest round exceeding $3,300 for a single address, based on public community receipts. PopDEX’s Meme Gang War, running from September 7 to September 21, adds another approach by determining the winning side according to the proportion of eligible participants achieving positive PnL rather than trading volume alone.
PopDEX’s Closed Beta development follows a $30 million strategic seed investment led by Foresight Ventures in May 2026, supporting liquidity, trading depth, product development and global market expansion. PopDEX is also working with ecosystem partners including Bitget Wallet to reduce friction for users accessing onchain perpetual markets.
As Closed Beta progresses, PopDEX will continue focusing on deeper liquidity, additional markets, execution infrastructure and greater access across devices. The longer-term goal is to build an onchain derivatives venue where crypto and broader global markets can be traded with the market depth, execution and risk infrastructure required by active and professional traders.
About PopDEX
PopDEX is a trader-first perpetual decentralized exchange focused on capital efficiency, professional trading experience, transparent market structure and value return for active contributors. PopDEX is building an onchain trading venue spanning crypto, RWA-related markets and broader global asset exposure.

Pleume Paris Launches the World’s First Hands-Free Hair Dryer with Patented Three-Mode Convertible Design
Pleume Paris has launched the Pleume, a patented hair dryer with handheld, freestanding, and wall-mounted modes via a detachable magnetic handle; designed to let users dry and style their hair completely hands-free.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, 14th Sep 2026 — Pleume Paris announces the launch of Pleume, described by the company as the world’s first hands-free hair dryer. With a convertible and detachable magnetic handle, the dryer converts between handheld, freestanding, and wall-mounted operating modes, allowing users to dry and style their hair with both hands free to multitask or relax.
“Women have endured the 30-minute overhead arm workout for decades, because hair dryer designs haven’t fundamentally changed in that time,” said Jenson Lee, co-founder of Pleume Paris. “Pleume delivers salon-class airflow from a dryer that stands hands-free on your counter or mounts on your wall. It’s truly the first dryer that dries and styles your hair while your hands are free to send emails, do makeup, scroll your phone, or just relax after a long day. Cars now drive themselves; it’s about time hair dryers caught up.”
The design is fully patented, protected under U.S. Patent No. 12,376,659 with U.S. Design Patent Nos. D932,691S and D932,6912S. Pleume Paris states that there are no other hair dryers on the market that offer any remotely similar convertible handle designs, let alone hands free drying use, in a reasonable, convenient size.
One of Pleume’s primary goals is alleviating the pain and hassle of having to manually hold traditional hair dryers to dry hair, and the problem is well documented. Hairdressers, who dry and style hair all day, are one of the most studied groups for shoulder pain. The research points at one main cause: working with arms raised for prolonged periods of time. Studies have found that as many as 6 in 10 hairdressers experience shoulder pain in a given year, and that the longer and higher the arms stay up, the worse the pain gets. Doctors also list holding up arms for strenuous tasks such as manual hair drying over long periods of time as a leading cause of shoulder impingement, a common and painful shoulder condition.
Pleume’s freestanding and wall-mounted applications take this strain out of hair drying entirely.
A survey of 2,000 adults conducted by hair care brand Gee Hair found that women spend an average of approximately six and a half hours per week on hair care — more than 330 hours per year, the equivalent of two full weeks a year; an entire year’s worth of vacation. A separate survey conducted by the Today show and AOL similarly found that women’s daily hair and makeup routines total roughly two full weeks per year.
Pleume aims to give every one of those precious hours back as well as offering a seamlessly premium and weightless styling experience.
Pleume is built on the same high-speed brushless motor class and negative ionic technology used in leading premium dryers, housed in a compact aluminum body rather than the typical hard plastic. A detachable cord allows the unit to stand upright on a counter, and the dryer packs into an included leather travel case. It is currently available in two finishes, Amber and Blush, and ships across North and South America through pleumeparis.com with a two-year warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Pleume Paris introduced the product at CosmoProf North America in Las Vegas in July 2026, where it exhibited to retailers and international distributors.
About Pleume Paris
Pleume Paris is a French-American beauty technology brand designing tools that are optimized for real life and everyday use. Its first product, Pleume, is the world’s first hands-free hair dryer: fully patented, designed in Paris, and built for people who would rather spend their mornings and evenings living rather than holding a dryer.
