Puffpaw Unveils the First Gamified Smart Vape

The post Puffpaw Unveils the First Gamified Smart Vape appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Seoul, South Korea (KBW): In a market flooded with speculative promises, PuffPaw is doing something tangible – paying users in crypto to quit nicotine. The hardware platform made its debut at Korea Blockchain Week, unveiling the world’s first gamified crypto smart vape, a device that transforms nicotine reduction into a tokenized, trackable, and secure experience. Each vape embeds a patented encrypted anti-counterfeiting code and private on-chain data storage, creating the first truly data-sovereign vaping ecosystem. Users earn crypto rewards, unlock exclusive digital content, and gain access to tokenized experiences as they progress on their quitting journey, making wellness both measurable and rewarding. “The platform uses blockchain to ensure every e-liquid pod is “This is the first hardware platform that rewards healthier behavior while securing supply chain integrity. We’re addressing two crises at once: counterfeit products and nicotine addiction.” — Puffpaw Spokesperson  Puffpaw has generated $8M in revenue, surpassed $1M in monthly recurring revenue, and achieved global distribution across more than 65 countries. Its first three Puffpaw-powered brands are already stocked in all of Korea’s 3,500 smoke shops. Puffpaw hosted an event during KBW, drawing over 600 attendees, including industry partners, customers, and business owners from Korea’s vape sector.

Best Presale Token To Buy During Token2049 Singapore

Best Presale Token To Buy During Token2049 Singapore

The post Best Presale Token To Buy During Token2049 Singapore appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Lyno AI is regarded as the best presale token to purchase in Token2049 Singapore. Its present Early Bird price is 0.05 per token and this has generated high interest. So far, 818,748 tokens have been sold and $40,937 has been raised. Next presale will be at an increased price of $0.055 and therefore investors must be fast. From Institutional Secret to Retail Weapon: Lyno AI’s Cross-Chain Arbitrage Breakthrough FOMO is further driven by the fact that the AI-based cross-chain arbitrage technology of Lyno AI provides retail traders with the means that only institutional traders used to possess. The platform maximized gas usage on Arbitrum and ensured professional desks could profit on regional volatility as any other trader. A multi-tiered security system that is audited by Cyberscope guarantees a secure investment that will be secured with smart contracts. Analysts See $4.25 Ahead — Could Lyno AI Be the Next Solana-Style 8,500% Explosion? It is predicted by analysts that the token of Lyno AI will rise to $4.25 at the end of the event and an 8,500% profit on investment will be achieved. This possibility can be compared to returns that early investors got with Solana in its 2025 DeFi boom. Oracle feeds, slippery controls, and capital-free multi-chain flips are just some of the features, which make Lyno AI superior to slower or less secure presales in comparison, making it the best offer in Token2049. $100 Unlocks More Than Tokens — A $100,000 Giveaway Turns Urgency Into Action The Presale purchasers who spend over $100 receive Lyno AI Giveaway, which will give them a chance to win a share of a year-long prize pool of 100,000 divided into 10 prizes of 10,000. This incentive will encourage early investment when the presale final target price of $0.10 approaches. More Than Speculation: Lyno AI’s…

MetaMask Integrates Hyperliquid for In-Wallet Perpetual Trading

MetaMask Integrates Hyperliquid for In-Wallet Perpetual Trading

The post MetaMask Integrates Hyperliquid for In-Wallet Perpetual Trading appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MetaMask is stepping deeper into decentralized finance. The popular Ethereum wallet now supports perpetual futures trading through a direct integration with Hyperliquid, one of crypto’s fastest-growing decentralized derivatives exchanges. 🚨 PERPS ARE NOW LIVE 🚨 You can start trading perps on MetaMask Mobile. And rewards are coming soon. 🧵👇 pic.twitter.com/J2lgZvlpmr — MetaMask.eth 🦊 (@MetaMask) October 8, 2025 The update, confirmed via MetaMask’s official X post, brings perps trading directly to the MetaMask mobile app, allowing users to open leveraged positions without ever leaving the wallet. Trading Without Leaving the Wallet The new feature lets MetaMask users deposit USDC seamlessly into Hyperliquid, trade perpetual contracts, and manage leverage all from within the mobile app. It effectively merges self-custody and derivatives trading in one place. Perpetual futures, or “perps”, are contracts that mimic futures trading without an expiry date. By integrating this functionality, MetaMask is bridging a gap that has long separated wallet users from advanced DeFi traders. This integration eliminates the need to switch between platforms or connect to separate dApps. Deposits move directly from any EVM-compatible chain, and MetaMask’s internal routing removes swap fees when funding Hyperliquid positions. The timing is no coincidence. The launch comes just as Token2049 dominates headlines, adding fuel to the growing excitement around decentralized derivatives. The Hyperliquid Boost For Hyperliquid, this partnership could mark a breakout moment. The decentralized exchange has quietly grown into a DeFi powerhouse, handling roughly $383 billion in monthly trading volume, according to data tracked by DeFiLlama. That puts Hyperliquid in the same league as major centralized exchanges, but with on-chain transparency and user-controlled assets. The MetaMask integration opens that liquidity floodgate to millions of wallet users worldwide, without the usual barriers of custodial trading platforms. It also validates Hyperliquid’s recent momentum. In September, leaked GitHub code hinted at a pending…

Midnight’s Fahmi on Privacy, Compliance, and Enterprise Adoption

Midnight’s Fahmi on Privacy, Compliance, and Enterprise Adoption

The post Midnight’s Fahmi on Privacy, Compliance, and Enterprise Adoption appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As blockchain technology matures, the industry faces a critical challenge: balancing transparency with privacy. Most public blockchains expose all transaction data, creating risks for enterprises and individuals. This tension has sparked debate about whether decentralization must sacrifice confidentiality. Fahmi Syed, President of the Midnight Foundation, believes there’s a better path forward. During Token2049 Singapore at the main event venue, he outlined to BeInCrypto Midnight’s vision for “rational privacy.” Midnight’s approach uses zero-knowledge-proofs-based smart contracts to unlock selective disclosure: the ability to control what you share, when, and with whom. Please briefly explain Midnight Network and how it differs from other privacy-focused blockchains. Midnight is a new layer one blockchain built on advancements in zero-knowledge proofs. We’ve built a dual-state, public-and-private ledger architecture that enables applications to validate sensitive data using cryptographic proofs.  Through zero-knowledge proofs and purpose-built smart contract disclosure mechanisms, individuals, corporations, and machines can decide what they share, when they share it, and with whom they share it. This is what we call “rational privacy”—selective, programmable privacy that protects sensitive data by default while still enabling compliance and auditability when required. Today, most public blockchains are transparent or pseudo-anonymous, but pseudo-anonymity is not privacy – over time, identities and wallets can be exposed, tracked, or compromised. How does your approach differ from previous attempts to add privacy to public blockchains? Public ZK chains started with the likes of Monero and Zcash. These privacy-focused networks showcased how zero-knowledge proofs could protect sensitive data, but because their tokens acted as stores of value, they raised compliance concerns for not only regulators, but corporates who must adhere to KYC/KYB procedures. The next evolution was the rise in ZK rollups or ZK chains, which primarily aimed to scale blockchain transactions and later incorporated some privacy features. But when you try to retrofit…

Midnight Redefines Blockchain Privacy With Zero-Knowledge and Rational Design

Midnight Redefines Blockchain Privacy With Zero-Knowledge and Rational Design

As blockchain technology matures, the industry faces a critical challenge: balancing transparency with privacy. Most public blockchains expose all transaction data, creating risks for enterprises and individuals. This tension has sparked debate about whether decentralization must sacrifice confidentiality. Fahmi Syed, President of the Midnight Foundation, believes there’s a better path forward. During Token2049 Singapore at the main event venue, he outlined to BeInCrypto Midnight’s vision for “rational privacy.” Midnight’s approach uses zero-knowledge-proofs-based smart contracts to unlock selective disclosure: the ability to control what you share, when, and with whom. Please briefly explain Midnight Network and how it differs from other privacy-focused blockchains. Midnight is a new layer one blockchain built on advancements in zero-knowledge proofs. We’ve built a dual-state, public-and-private ledger architecture that enables applications to validate sensitive data using cryptographic proofs.  Through zero-knowledge proofs and purpose-built smart contract disclosure mechanisms, individuals, corporations, and machines can decide what they share, when they share it, and with whom they share it.

These privacy-focused networks showcased how zero-knowledge proofs could protect sensitive data, but because their tokens acted as stores of value, they raised compliance concerns for not only regulators, but corporates who must adhere to KYC/KYB procedures. The next evolution was the rise in ZK rollups or ZK chains, which primarily aimed to scale blockchain transactions and later incorporated some privacy features. But when you try to retrofit privacy, there’s always a risk of exposure. At Midnight, we’ve baked privacy into the core of the network, giving you the ability to protect sensitive data and metadata while remaining auditable on-chain. This essentially enables you to build technology and applications that preserve privacy without sacrificing compliance. What is Midnight’s mechanism that enables both privacy and compliance? Private data shouldn’t sit on a blockchain. The most valuable use of private data is when value can be derived while the underlying information remains under the owner’s exclusive control. One way this can happen is via proofs and attestations. For example, proofs of identity, ownership, or accreditation. These proofs function like keys that gateway your access into deeper levels of a product, service or network.  Today, valuable data sits in silos, completely underutilised. What Midnight can do is bring such silos together to unlock shared value, without risk of exposure. Instead of sharing raw data across networks, you can provide attestations, or proofs that enable untrusted parties to operate together in a trusted manner. In this way, I see Midnight as a truth layer, through our smart contracts, you can allow disclosures or enable different parties to validate information without risk.  With Midnight, you get to choose what, when, and with whom you’re disclosing information to. People often think of privacy as trying to obfuscate or shield. We believe privacy is a starting place for compliance. Privacy with selective disclosure will enable better compliance. Midnight uses a dual-component tokenomics system with NIGHT and DUST. What motivated this design choice, and how does it address the economic challenges facing other Layer-1 blockchains? The economic model today for most blockchains is not only confusing, it’s broken. For example, you may have a Samsung phone, but you don’t pay for your Samsung phone with your Samsung shares. Why? Because your shares are an investment, your phone is just a product that you use, or “consume”. Today in Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, and other L1s, the tokens you select for investment purposes are the same assets you use to pay for transaction fees or “gas”. This is counterintuitive – for example, what happens when the token price goes up in value? Transaction costs increase, especially during periods of network congestion, meaning you’re cannibalizing your investment just to make a transaction, essentially grinding the network to a halt.  At Midnight, we’ve separated ownership and utility from consumption. NIGHT is our native utility token that gives you ownership and governance of Midnight. NIGHT generates DUST, which is a renewable, shielded resource. DUST does not function as a store of value, as it decays within seven days. Instead of paying for transactions with NIGHT, you pay with DUST, and if you own NIGHT, your supply of DUST will continue to replenish. This model ensures you’re not cannibalising your primary asset just to pay to use the network. The Glacier Drop has attracted significant attention in the community. Can you share its main objectives and how it supports Midnight’s vision? We’re so confident in our technology and its capabilities that we’re giving away 100 percent of the token supply of NIGHT through a multi-phase distribution process, starting with the Glacier Drop, which is open to users from across eight major blockchain ecosystems. If you were holding at least $100 worth of BTC, ETH, ADA, SOL, AVAX, BNB, XRP, or BAT tokens in a self-custody wallet on the snapshot date, you are eligible to come and claim. The amount of NIGHT you can claim corresponds to your ownership in the other eligible chains. The more you have there, the more NIGHT you’ll receive. Participants from each of these ecosystems have the opportunity to come and claim before we open this up to anyone during the Scavenger Mine phase.  Scavenger Mine allows anybody from any ecosystem or walk of life to claim a portion of the unclaimed tokens from Glacier Drop. Only after the end of Scavenger Mine is there a distribution to the Midnight Foundation, the on-chain treasury, and the on-chain reserves. You recently announced a collaboration with Google Cloud. How does this partnership advance Midnight’s enterprise adoption goals, and what does it mean for bringing traditional Web2 companies into the blockchain space? That’s right, our collaboration with Google Cloud is bringing enterprise-grade infrastructure support to our network, which will give institutions and others more confidence to utilize Midnight’s privacy-enhancing infrastructure. Through this partnership and others, millions of users and thousands of corporate clients are welcome to utilize Midnight’s technology to bring enhanced privacy functionality to their products and services. Can you elaborate on this partnership with a real-world example? A healthcare company in Turkey with three million patients is currently working with us to explore how they can leverage blockchain infrastructure to generate proofs of their patients’ medical histories. Our strategy is to start with partners with slightly lower regulatory hurdles for proof of concept. Once we can demonstrate viability in one area, we can extend it to another. For example, now we’re in conversations with a large hospital in California that’s looking to use Midnight for cross-clinical trials with other external partners. They want to protect sensitive patient data, so they’re looking at how Midnight can bring together different silos of medical history and records to achieve better outcomes for their patients and the medical industry as a whole, without ever exposing the data on the chain. Can you walk us through Midnight’s roadmap from testnet to mainnet launch? What are the primary milestones and goals for the rest of 2025 and beyond? Our primary goal for this year is to complete Glacier Drop successfully, launch our token, as well as preparing for mainnet launch. From there, our focus will be on how we bring our technology to market while still maintaining our path to decentralization. To build institutional confidence, our strategy is to launch with a consortium of federated nodes, made up of ten trusted partners running validators, to provide the robustness, speed, and scalability that’s needed for enterprises to operate securely and confidently.  As we scale, through feature releases, upgrades, and with partners bringing in more transactional volume, Midnight will gradually develop into a decentralized ecosystem. To support this, when we launch on mainnet, we’ll be running an incentivized testnet in parallel to the federated mainnet. Eventually, the two will converge, and we will end up with a fully decentralized blockchain where validation is not just from trusted partners, but from a wider group of 100 to 200 validators.

Ethereum DATs Are The Next Berkshire Hathaway: Joe Lubin

Ethereum DATs Are The Next Berkshire Hathaway: Joe Lubin

The post Ethereum DATs Are The Next Berkshire Hathaway: Joe Lubin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Inspired by Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin playbook, Joseph Lubin says Ethereum treasury companies can provide outsized returns on yield and investment opportunities to their Bitcoin counterparts. Speaking exclusively to Cointelegraph at Token2049 in Singapore, the Ethereum co-founder unpacked his thesis for why Ether (ETH) digital asset treasuries (DATs) present superior opportunities to the Bitcoin (BTC) treasury movement popularized by Saylor’s Strategy Bitcoin play. “I’d much rather have something that potentially has more impact. It certainly is as solid as Bitcoin, and I would argue more solid because of the functionality and the organic demand for it to pay for transactions and storage,” Lubin said. The Ethereum co-founder was actively championing ETH DATs after he was appointed chairman of the ETH-based treasury company SharpLink Gaming. The Nasdaq-listed iGaming company has bought more than $2 billion worth of Ether since adopting a treasury strategy in August. Inspired by Michael Saylor Lubin admitted that his impetus to head up an ETH treasury company was inspired by Saylor and his financial engineering constructs, which are based on Bitcoin as a reserve asset. “I was fortunate enough to sit down and have dinner with him in December and heard his rationale for doing all that. It was basically about finding better treasury capital assets for his company,” Lubin said. “I talked to my colleagues who immediately thought, it’s obvious that Ether would be a better treasury asset because it’s a productive yield-bearing asset.” Lubin presented an optimistic outlook for Ethereum’s medium-term future. He described the ecosystem hitting its “broadband moment” in 2025, with the protocol more horizontally and vertically scalable and crying out for cheaper, abundant block space to be used.  Related: ‘The Fight for Ethereum’s Soul,’ a Cointelegraph documentary He added that Ethereum had scaled too quickly in the past 18 months, which left a…
