New Blockchain x AI Use Case
Chainlink, Euroclear, Swift & six major institutions launched an initiative to improve corporate actions processing using AI, oracles, and blockchains.
Problem: There isn’t a single source of truth around corporate actions events.
Solution: Use AI + oracles to create a unified golden record of structured data.
Outcome: Solve a decades-long data challenge in finance.

The project aims to create a new system for sourcing and distributing corporate actions data.
Challenges with Corporate Actions today:
No standard way for companies to announce events
No single trusted data source
Processing details vary by market or financial product
No guarantee that shared information is correct
New Approach:
Capture unstructured corporate action data at the source
Automatically process it into a standard format
Create shared data containers that update dynamically

The Most Hated/Loved Platform in Crypto
I know many of you are fed up with memecoins, but today it's not about that, it's about the platform that makes it all possible.
Because are you aware of how much revenue pump.fun is currently generating?
Let me give it away: We're looking at over $140 million in cumulative revenue from January 2024 to now.
🤓 For all those who don't know exactly what it is:
Pump.Fun is a kind of Memecoin Launchpad. It let’s you create a memecoin within a minute.
When a token reaches a market capitalization of $69,000 on pump.fun, the token is automatically migrated with liquidity to the decentralized exchange Raydium (Solana DEX).
How many make it tho? 🚀
The average graduation rate is 1.62%, i.e. the rate of tokens that exceed the 69k mark and get listed on Raydium.
Where does the money come from?
Pump.fun takes a 1% fee on all trades on its platform plus a 1.5 SOL (approx. $250) bonus per token that makes it onto Raydium.
In total, more than 2.6 million tokens have already been created 🤯.
🎥 Video dot Fun
They’ve introduced a new feature this week to keep the fun going: Tokenization of videos.
you can now tokenize videos on pump fun 📹
upload your vid, choose a thumbnail, and make your coin stand out: everyone on the main page will see it 🫨
what will you create?

Whether you come for the drinks, the discussions, your friends or for the DJ, we look forward to seeing you!
Yuga Labs is back?
The team behind the Bored Apes are back with their freshly launched Layer 3 Blockchain Apechain. It was unveiled at Apefest in Lisbon and immediately caused a stir with its new platform Top Trader.
ApeCoin is used as the native gas token and has risen by over 100% since the announcement. Within 24 hours of the launch, 98k new, unique addresses were recorded on the Apechain.
What is Top Trader?
Top Trader is a cryptocurrency trading simulator on the ApeChain blockchain. It allows users to practice trading without using real money.
Here's how it works:
Top Trader is a fully on-chain game where players trade real crypto tokens with high leverage. There is a daily tournament in which the best players win $APE tokens.
Congrats @boredyachttoken for winning the first daily tournament of Top Trader.
To the rest of you: Get good.
Next tournament starts at 3pm EST.

To play, you need to fund your wallet with $APE.
The buy-in is 10 $APE, for which you receive 10,000 USDN, the in-game currency.
With USDN, you can create trades with up to 1000x leverage. Be cautious, as high leverage is risky.
The more you (fictitiously) earn through trading, the higher you rise on the leaderboard.
If your trade is liquidated, which is very likely with such high leverage, you can continue playing by buying in again.
At the end of each tournament, prizes are distributed as follows:
1st place: 50% of the prize pool
2nd place: 6% of the prize pool
3rd place: 4% of the prize pool
4th place: 3% of the prize pool
5th place: 2% of the prize pool
Bigger Picture: Layer 3
ApeChain is specifically built on Arbitrum's Orbit technology.
Here's why it's cool:
Customization: ApeChain can be tailored for specific uses, like gaming or social media.
Scalability: It can handle more transactions faster and cheaper than Layer 1 or 2.
Interoperability: ApeChain can easily communicate with other blockchains.
Security: It benefits from the security of both Arbitrum (Layer 2) and Ethereum (Layer 1).
User experience: It offers faster transactions and lower fees for users.
Developer-friendly: It allows for more flexibility in creating decentralized applications.
