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 AI​industry, 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.

Giggso Introduces Raven, Andie, and AIRTaaS to Help Enterprises Bring Discipline, Reasoning, and Security to AI Adoption

Published

1 hour ago

on

May 26, 2026

By

TROY, Mich., May 26th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Enterprises are moving faster with AI than ever before. But many are also quietly losing comprehension of the systems they are building.

Engineering teams now generate code, workflows, automations, and AI-driven decisions at unprecedented speed using tools like Claude, Codex, Cursor, and enterprise copilots. While productivity has increased, organizations are also experiencing a new operational challenge: more meetings, fragmented workflows, inconsistent outputs, security concerns, architecture drift, and growing difficulty understanding how systems actually work together.

Giggso calls this problem “comprehension debt” — the growing gap between AI-generated velocity and organizational understanding.

Today, Giggso announced Raven, Andie, and AIRTaaS, three offerings designed to help enterprises reduce comprehension debt and bring discipline, reasoning, and continuous security testing into AI adoption at scale.

Together, the offerings form the front door into GSD (Giggso Security Domain), Giggso’s broader architecture for governing, securing, and operationalizing enterprise AI systems.

“At a small scale, AI feels magical,” said Ravi Venugopal, Founder and CEO of Giggso. “At enterprise scale, it can quickly become operational chaos. Teams move faster, but understanding drops. Meetings increase. Ownership blurs. AI starts producing more than organizations can realistically comprehend or govern. That is the problem we are solving.”

At the center of the announcement is Raven, Giggso’s discipline layer for AI-assisted software development.

Raven is designed to help organizations enforce engineering discipline inside AI-driven development workflows before problems reach production. Rather than acting as a traditional code scanner after development is complete, Raven introduces governance, architecture awareness, policy enforcement, and review controls directly into AI-assisted coding environments.

The platform helps organizations identify risks such as:

  • architecture drift
  • unapproved libraries
  • exposed secrets
  • policy violations
  • insecure dependencies
  • undocumented AI-generated logic
  • uncontrolled AI usage patterns

The goal is not to slow development, but to preserve organizational understanding as teams move at AI speed.

“AI can now generate code faster than teams can comprehend it,” Ravi said. “Without discipline, enterprises accumulate technical debt, security exposure, and operational confusion at machine speed. Raven helps organizations preserve engineering quality and architectural understanding while still moving fast.”

Giggso also introduced Andie, a structured reasoning engine designed to help enterprises improve contextual thinking and operational decision-making across teams.

Unlike traditional chatbot-style AI interfaces that generate isolated answers, Andie is designed to help organizations reason through problems with context, constraints, and multiple perspectives in mind. The platform is intended to support operational workflows across delivery, strategy, planning, support, and execution environments.

Giggso believes one of the biggest failures in enterprise AI adoption is not a lack of intelligence, but a loss of shared understanding.

“Most organizations do not need another chatbot,” Ravi said. “They need systems that help teams think more clearly together. AI should reduce confusion, not multiply it. Andie is designed to strengthen organizational reasoning, preserve context, and reduce the fragmentation that happens when every team operates with disconnected AI outputs.”

To address the growing security risks around enterprise AI adoption, Giggso is also expanding AIRTaaS, its AI Red Teaming as a Service platform.

As enterprises deploy AI agents, copilots, retrieval systems, and autonomous workflows into production, traditional security testing approaches are increasingly insufficient. AI systems can fail through prompt injection, hallucinations, role-boundary violations, tool misuse, unsafe autonomy, data leakage, and adversarial manipulation.

AIRTaaS continuously stress-tests AI systems against these real-world failure scenarios before they become operational incidents.

The platform combines:

  • AI red teaming
  • observability
  • governance workflows
  • incident tracking
  • remediation guidance
  • human-led adversarial testing

To strengthen its execution capabilities, Giggso has partnered with Seiance India, a woman-owned AI security startup based in Chennai, India, whose product, Trinity, is an AI security and observability platform.

“AIRTaaS turns AI security into an operational discipline instead of a compliance checkbox,” said Abhinaya, CEO of Seiance India P Ltd.
“Enterprises need continuous stress testing because AI systems are constantly evolving. Our focus is helping organizations identify weaknesses early, validate resilience continuously, and improve trust in production AI systems.”

Giggso also announced that portions of AIRTaaS and related tooling will be free for Individual Developers, while core Enterprise developer-focused red teaming capabilities will be low-cost and easy to certify for teams.

The company said the decision reflects a growing concern about “AI washing” — where organizations overstate AI capabilities without sufficient operational rigor — and the rise of “AI slop,” low-quality AI-generated outputs that appear acceptable on the surface but fail under real operational conditions.

“We believe AI adoption needs more honesty, more discipline, and far more operational accountability,” Ravi said. “The future belongs to organizations that can scale AI without losing security, comprehension, governance, and trust in the process.”

Raven, Andie, and AIRTaaS are part of GSD (Giggso Security Domain), Giggso’s enterprise architecture for governing AI systems, coding workflows, observability, orchestration, reasoning, and AI operational security across the enterprise.

Caladan Launches API Liquidity: Institutional Access to Aggregated Digital Asset Liquidity Across 100+ Tokens

Published

May 26, 2026

By

Singapore, May 26th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Institutional counterparties can now access executable streaming prices and RFQ liquidity for spot and perpetuals on 100+ digital assets through the Caladan API, launched today by Caladan, the largest Asia-headquartered market maker for digital assets.

Built on nearly a decade of active trading, Caladan continuously aggregates pricing and depth from 20+ on-chain protocols, 47+ centralised exchange integrations, and bilateral relationships. The result is a single pricing feed that delivers tighter spreads, higher fill rates, and full depth on long-tail tokens.

“Fragmentation is the defining liquidity challenge in digital assets today. A single exchange, a single counterparty, or a single OTC desk will always have an incomplete view of price and depth. We have spent nine years building the infrastructure to see the whole market simultaneously, and API Liquidity makes that infrastructure available to institutional participants through a single API connection.” – John Gu, CEO, Caladan

Why aggregation produces better pricing

Digital asset liquidity is highly fragmented across centralised exchanges, decentralised protocols, regional venues, bilateral broker-dealers, and OTC desks. Caladan’s sourcing model is the commercial differentiator. The firm facilitates over $170 billion in annual trading volume across more than 100 assets, which means its pricing engine is continuously calibrated against a wider range of market signals. The more heterogeneous the sourcing — on-chain, off-chain, bilateral, and platform-routed simultaneously — the tighter the spread and the deeper the available size at any given price point.

The broadest token coverage of any market maker

API Liquidity provides access to the top 100 tokens — the widest token coverage available from any market maker globally. Coverage spans spot and perpetuals.

For institutional participants managing diversified digital asset portfolios or building crypto-embedded products, this breadth eliminates the need to maintain multiple liquidity provider relationships to cover the full token universe.

Flexible connectivity and settlement

API Liquidity is designed for immediate integration with minimal development overhead. Counterparties can connect through the channel that fits their existing workflow:

  • Direct API: Native FIX connectivity (4.2, 4.4, 5.0) for firms that prefer a direct bilateral connection

  • Platform partners: Desks already connected to Talos, Finery Markets, or CrossX can access Caladan liquidity with no additional integration work

Settlement is handled through institutional partners, with options for fiat and stablecoins:

  • Hidden Road and BitGo Go Network for custodial settlement

  • Customers Bank CUBIX for fiat settlement in USD

  • USDT and USDC settlement available directly

Competitive credit and margin terms are available for qualifying counterparties. Fiat currency pairs including EUR and JPY are in development, with additional currencies in the pipeline.

About Caladan

Caladan is Asia’s largest digital asset market maker, headquartered in Singapore with teams across seven global offices. Since 2017, Caladan has facilitated over $170 billion in annual trading volume, operating across 65+ exchanges worldwide. The firm provides market-making, OTC trading, DeFi expertise, and investments to institutional participants globally.
