3air Ready to Solve Telecommunications Problems in Africa with Upcoming Public Sale

Published

on

3air will kick off its public sale on November 26, according to its presale page.

The Africa-focused blockchain platform recently announced its launch on Cardano and is making significant development progress every day. It has already successfully closed a seed sale and the first round of a private sale. The second and third rounds are on the waitlist, and the public sale is ready to begin.

3air Token Public Sale Details

The platform is building its upcoming public sale on the successful private sale rounds, which saw numerous participants joining. Currently, users register for the public sale and are awaiting Know Your Customer (KYC) and AML verifications.

The platform will sell the token at $0.06 at the public sale, which will offer the initial and final supply of tokens in presale rounds. To enter, you will need a minimum ticket of $600, while the maximum investment opportunity stands at $49,800.

The team securely developed the token on Cardano, utilizing the blockchain’s IOHK Atala Prism Identity Management solution.

The platform will dedicate 20% of the 1 billion maximum token supply to the public sale. This allocation differs from the seed sale and private rounds, which represented 1% and 11% of total supply, respectively.

3air provides a detailed breakdown of its token sales. Also, the company believes that the disclosure of the token’s distribution is crucial to prevent future supply changes.

The platform reassures its user base that all token distributions run on smart contracts. Therefore, you will receive your tokens once the sale closes automatically through an app on your ADA wallet.

Unfortunately, some countries will not be able to participate in token sales. The US, North Korea, Zambia, Central African Republic, British Virgin Islands, China, Venezuela, Iran and Iraq.

Tapping into Untapped African Markets

Investors have long recognized the African continent as a region full of potential and talent. However, the current lack of broadband internet and its supporting infrastructure causes a digital divide that slows down economic growth.

African cities can grow faster and thrive with more reliable internet connectivity. However, building telecommunication lines and burying fiber network cables requires substantial investments in infrastructure. Currently, internet providers focus primarily on business districts only, and Internet connections are limited and unreliable. A report by the World Bank estimates that it would take over $100 billion of investment and 10 years to achieve widespread broadband connectivity using traditional means.

3air recognizes this need for high speed internet and aims to close the digital divide faster and at lower costs. In a simulation of market potential using Nigeria as an example, 3air estimates that the value of the Nigerian markets’ untapped annual revenue for Internet services is worth $60 billion. Establishing more affordable and faster internet connectivity would therefore not only benefit local populations, but token holders as well.

3air uses all these factors as motivation to provide broad premium bandwidth in African cities to previously underserved areas. In this regard, the platform relies on a talented and experienced team of specialists in IT, blockchain, marketing, and telecommunication.

Blockchain technology is leveraged by 3air to provide a trustless, decentralized environment that maintains security and user data protection. Users will be able to create digital identities, enabling access to bankless payments, health, work and education. Internet, TV and IP Telephony subscriptions will be paid for using the 3air token. The token will also be used for bandwidth sharing, HW insurance and maintenance, rewards, referrals, staking and community governance.

Fruitful Partnerships

Besides developing on Cardano, 3air is acquiring more partnerships to drive its vision to completion. One of these strategic collaborations is with the telecom service provider K3 Telecom. The Swiss company’s patented technology will develop the broadband connection for 3air using innovative wireless technology that is able to set up high speed internet connectivity in a new region in a matter of months. 

Its optic grade air connectivity can provide 1Gbps internet speed and over 150 television channels. The technology, K3 last mile, is ready for the world, utilizing innovative technology, a functional business plan, and a successful proof of concept in Sierra Leone. Other 3air partnerships include collaborations with IT TIM, CV Labs Global, and iceaddis.

These business and technological joint efforts show 3air’s commitment to providing Africa with better internet connectivity. Thanks to its innovative projects and ideas, individuals and businesses in African cities will finally upgrade to fast and cost-effective internet services.

Orochi Network (ON) Builds the Verifiable Data Layer for Web3 as zkPass Partnership and 49-Chain Expansion Signal Growing Infrastructure Reach

Published

on

Orochi Network has been doing one of the harder things in crypto: building serious cryptographic infrastructure and waiting for the market to care. The wait is beginning to pay off. ON is currently trading around $0.119, up 96.24% from its all-time low of $0.06074 reached on February 10, 2026, with a market cap of approximately $17.2 million and a 24-hour trading volume of $6.7 million. The token sits 72.6% below its all-time high of $0.416 from October 2025 — but the direction of travel over the past five months has been consistently upward from the February floor.

Orochi Network operates as a blockchain-agnostic and proof-system-agnostic Verifiable Data Infrastructure, using three core cryptographic primitives — Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Fully Homomorphic Encryption, and Trusted Execution Environments — to make data operations trustless, provable, and private. That three-layer cryptographic stack is what separates Orochi from single-mechanism privacy protocols — it doesn’t bet on one cryptographic approach, it deploys all three depending on what each specific use case requires.

The Product Suite That’s Already Running

Orochi’s flagship product, zkDatabase, is the world’s first provable NoSQL database. Every data query generates a Zero-Knowledge Proof automatically, enabling auditors, regulators, and smart contracts to verify data correctness without ever accessing sensitive content. For enterprise and institutional use cases — financial compliance, healthcare data, government records — the ability to prove data integrity without revealing the underlying data is the precise capability that has prevented blockchain adoption in regulated industries. zkDatabase solves that at the infrastructure level.

Orand provides a Verifiable Random Function for trustless randomness, while Orocle delivers verifiable oracle feeds without relying on trusted nodes. The oracle market is dominated by Chainlink, but Orochi’s verifiable oracle approach — where every feed is accompanied by a cryptographic proof of origin rather than relying on a reputation-based trusted node network — offers a technically differentiated alternative that’s gaining traction in ZK-native ecosystems where proof composability matters.

Orand and Orocle services are integrated across 49-plus blockchains, while zkDatabase has been adopted by 20-plus blockchains. Cross-chain infrastructure that runs on 49 networks without being tied to any single chain’s success or failure is a meaningful structural advantage — especially as the multi-chain landscape continues to fragment.

The zkPass Partnership and Verifiable Identity

The collaboration with zkPass — building a new foundation for verifiable, privacy-protected data in Web3 — is among the more strategically aligned partnerships in Orochi’s ecosystem. zkPass handles identity verification through zero-knowledge proofs, allowing users to prove attributes about themselves without revealing underlying credentials. Orochi’s verifiable data infrastructure is the natural complement — once identity is verified, every subsequent data interaction that user has on-chain can be provably correct through Orochi’s zkDatabase layer.

That combination of verifiable identity and verifiable data integrity represents the foundational stack that regulated Web3 applications — particularly in RWA tokenization, DeFi compliance, and institutional finance — have been waiting for.

Backed by over $20 million in funding from the Ethereum Foundation, Mina Protocol, Web3 Foundation, and BNB Chain alongside leading venture capital firms, Orochi has grown to support 145-plus partners with more than 160 million transactions processed to date. Grants from protocol foundations rather than purely venture capital is a meaningful signal — it indicates that other blockchain ecosystems view Orochi’s infrastructure as genuinely valuable to their own development rather than simply making a financial bet.

The Supply Structure Worth Understanding

Only 14.4% of the 1 billion maximum ON supply is currently circulating — 144.28 million tokens — with a fully diluted valuation of approximately $81.3 million against the current $17.2 million market cap. With 85.6% of total supply still locked, ON is operating in a very early distribution phase. The gap between FDV and market cap implies either that the market believes the supply will create significant dilution pressure as it unlocks, or that adoption hasn’t yet reached the scale needed to justify the full supply value.

The Binance Alpha and Binance Alpha Airdrops tags on CoinMarketCap reflect a listing pathway that has brought broader retail attention to ON beyond its core technical audience. A trading call citing 25x leverage entry zones on KCEX reflects the speculative layer that sits above the infrastructure fundamentals — ON attracts both audiences simultaneously, which amplifies volatility in both directions.

Orochi’s 2026 goal is to solidify its position as the foundational verifiable data layer for Web3 and institutional finance, scaling zkDatabase, zkDA Layer, Orocle, and Orand modules across global markets to enable secure, auditable data infrastructure for RWA, stablecoins, AI, DeFi, and more. That ambition is coherent and directionally aligned with where institutional Web3 capital is flowing. A $17 million market cap for infrastructure already running on 49 chains with Ethereum Foundation backing is either a significant market oversight or a fair reflection of how early the verifiable data layer category still is.

Mira Network (MIRA) Searches for a Floor as AI Verification Infrastructure Battles Relentless Supply Pressure

Published

on

Mira Network launched on September 26, 2025, with a genuinely differentiated mission — building a decentralized verification layer for AI outputs, solving the hallucination and reliability problem that prevents truly autonomous AI deployment at scale. MIRA’s debut proved well received, starting at $1.25 before quickly doubling to around $1.40. Ten months later, the token is trading around $0.039 — down 97% from its launch price — with a market cap of approximately $7.53 million against a total supply of 1 billion tokens.

MIRA traded down 4% in the most recent 24-hour period with approximately $4.03 million in 24-hour volume — a volume-to-market-cap ratio that reflects still-active trading despite the dramatic price decline. The July 4 surge of 31.2% in a single day on $58 million volume showed the token retains the capacity for sharp moves when sentiment shifts — volume that day was five times the market cap, reflecting intense speculative activity on a thin float.

What Mira Network Actually Solves

Current AI systems produce hallucinations and unreliable outputs, requiring constant human oversight that prevents their deployment as truly autonomous agents. Mira’s verification layer addresses this at the infrastructure level — providing cryptographic verification of AI-generated outputs that allows applications to trust AI results without requiring a human to double-check every response.

The practical implication is significant. Every AI agent deployment in DeFi, enterprise workflows, or autonomous systems today requires a trust assumption about the AI’s output accuracy. Mira’s network creates a decentralized verification mechanism where multiple nodes independently validate AI outputs, enabling applications to deploy AI agents with mathematical confidence in their reliability rather than probabilistic hope.

The platform also allows apps built on its infrastructure to issue their own tokens, using MIRA to unify and convert liquidity — a tokenomics design that creates ecosystem demand for MIRA as the base liquidity layer for all applications built on the network.

The Backing That Validates the Thesis

Prior to launch, Mira Network raised about $10 million. Early angel investors included Balaji Srinivasan, Sandeep Nailwal, and Alex Svanevik, later joined by Framework Ventures, Bitkraft Ventures, and others. That investor roster is notable — Balaji Srinivasan and Sandeep Nailwal are two of the most respected technical investors in the crypto space, and Framework Ventures has a track record of backing protocols that achieve genuine adoption rather than pure speculation.

The Kaito AI Season 2 community campaign distributing $600,000 in MIRA tokens for completing tasks reflects the team’s continued investment in community building — though as CoinMarketCap’s analysis notes, the campaign introduces additional sellable tokens into a market where demand is already weak, making it a short-term supply headwind even as a long-term community growth initiative.

The Supply Structure Governing Everything

The tokenomics model includes a total supply of 1 billion tokens, with more than 191 million currently in circulation. Over the coming years, vested tokens held by early investors, the team, contributors, node operators, and others will gradually be released. Meanwhile, more than 40% of tokens are reserved by the DAO for ecosystem development, partner incentives, governance initiatives, and research efforts.

With only 19% to 28% of tokens currently circulating depending on the data source, MIRA faces one of the most challenging supply dynamics in the AI infrastructure category. Recurring monthly unlocks landing into a market with $4 million in daily volume creates structural downward pressure that product development alone struggles to offset at this stage.

MIRA formed a technical double bottom at $0.041 at the end of June, with trading volume increasing significantly and bullish momentum strengthening. That technical structure was the foundation for the July 4 surge before giving back gains in subsequent sessions. The Nigeria ecosystem expansion and enhanced developer SDK planned for 2026 represent the geographic and technical growth levers the team is pulling to drive organic demand — but adoption in emerging markets moves at a different pace than the unlock schedule.

The AI verification infrastructure thesis that Mira is built on is arguably more relevant in July 2026 than it was at the September 2025 launch — autonomous AI agents are now a mainstream topic rather than a niche discussion. Whether MIRA can attract enough developer adoption to generate genuine network activity before the remaining 80% of supply enters circulation is the question that will define the protocol’s trajectory through the rest of the year.

Radiant Capital Shuts Down After 18-Month Struggle to Recover From $50M Lazarus Group Hack

Published

on

This one doesn’t have a silver lining. On June 1, 2026, the Radiant Capital DAO announced it was winding down operations — ceasing all active development after failing to recover stolen funds or secure new capital following the October 2024 exploit that drained roughly $50 million from the protocol. The shutdown marks the end of what was once one of the more ambitious cross-chain lending projects in DeFi.

RDNT is currently trading at approximately $0.00168, down 3.45% in the past 24 hours — a shadow of its former self. The token peaked near $0.50 in 2023. The collapse from there to effectively zero is one of the starkest examples of what a single catastrophic exploit can do to a protocol’s trajectory.

How the Attack Unfolded

In October 2024, attackers compromised Radiant Capital through a highly advanced malware injection that breached multiple developers’ hardware wallets simultaneously — a sophisticated supply-chain style attack that bypassed the protocol’s multisig security assumptions.

The hack was later attributed to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, and on-chain analysis revealed the group had turned the stolen $53 million into over $102 million by the time the shutdown was announced — a grim detail that underscores both the sophistication of state-sponsored crypto theft and the near-impossibility of recovering from it through legal or on-chain means.

The tactics used in the attack subsequently appeared in other major crypto incidents. In April 2026, Drift Protocol said it had medium-high confidence that the same actors behind the Radiant breach were responsible for a separate exploit against its platform — with the group spending months building trust with contributors through conference meetings and professional contacts before deploying malicious tools.

18 Months of Failed Recovery

What makes Radiant’s story particularly difficult is that the team genuinely tried. For a year and a half after the exploit, the DAO explored paths to recovery — new capital raises, restructuring options, community governance mechanisms. None of it worked.

The protocol had once ranked among the largest cross-chain lending platforms in DeFi, with TVL reaching $386.8 million in December 2023. By early June 2026, TVL had fallen to approximately $1.4 million across chains, with active loans near $866,000 — effectively an empty shell of what the protocol had been.

The DAO’s announcement confirmed there was no viable path forward. Borrowing and incentives have been stopped, and the protocol has entered a maintenance state rather than a full decommission — meaning users can still withdraw funds and manage existing positions, but no new activity is possible.

What Existing Users Need to Do

Radiant Capital has stated it will continue attempts to recover the funds stolen in the 2024 exploit, and affected users can access a remediation portal to seek those funds. That process is likely to be slow and uncertain, but it represents the only remaining avenue for users who suffered losses in the original attack.

For anyone still holding positions in the protocol, the priority is straightforward: existing positions can still be managed, but withdrawal conditions depend on current utilization and market dynamics — and with liquidity declining and yields at zero, waiting carries its own risks. Getting out now rather than hoping for improved conditions is the more prudent approach.

The Radiant shutdown is a case study in what the DeFi industry has been grappling with since the Lazarus Group began targeting protocols systematically — that technical security alone isn’t enough when attackers are willing to spend months infiltrating teams at the human level. Hardware wallet compromises across multiple developers simultaneously suggest an operational security failure that no smart contract audit could have prevented.

RDNT’s price tells the rest of the story.
