Press Release
DYP Founder Purchases a BAYC NFT Ahead of the DYP PAW NFT Collection Launch
A Twitter post by the DeFi Yield Protocol’s CEO and founder, Mihai Nicusor Busica revealed his purchase of an NFT from the Bored Ape Yacht Club collection on January 3. The Bored Ape Mihai acquired is #1112, which he paid a whopping 80 ETH for, equivalent to $304 000.
His announcement comes two weeks before the launch of the protocol’s NFT collection, the Cats and Watches Society collection. The event set to unroll on January 17 will also entail the launch of its V2 marketplace.
According to Mr. Mihai, his first purchase from the BAYC collection is his way of showing his support towards NFTs. Furthermore, he considers it the best time to join the BAYC movement, before the launch of the DYP NFT collection.
So far, the BAYC collection has been making a name for itself in the market, holding some of the most coveted pieces in the space. According to a Dune Analytics report, the collection has garnered over $500 million since the start of its sales.
The collection contains 10 000 of the Bored Ape NFTs, with some selling as high as over 700 ETH. Mr. Mihai is now among the many who have invested in BAYC, considering notable figures, such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Jimmy Fallon, Post Malone, Steve Aoki, and more.
The Cats and Watches Society Collection
The Cat and Watch Society collection is a brainchild of the DYP protocol, leveraging the support of the Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche network, and Ethereum blockchain. The collection, also dubbed PAW, will be inclusive of 10 000 cats with 182 traits for any interested party to choose from, including clothes, color, watches, to mention but a few.
To avoid bias during the sale, the protocol will ensure that every PAW NFT sells at the same price; that is, $250 dollars for every Cat, while eliminating price tiers to prevent price differences.
Owning a Cat gives you exclusive access to members-only benefits, including access to the marketplace and a Society Account. However, you need to own a Metamask wallet account for the process to be complete. Additionally, Cat holders will receive rewards from 20% ((10% from minting fees and 10% from selling fees) of all sales made every week.
DYP Could be the Next Big Thing in NFTs
DYP and its team are taking advantage of the greener pastures that the NFT market is laying out for crypto enthusiasts. While the step by its founder could seem like a rash decision, it stands as an indicator of his faith in the sector.
Furthermore, the creation of the Cats and Watches Society collection can open more doors for the protocol as a viable investment opportunity. As it stands, it has managed to bury its roots into the DeFi industry, offering lucrative yield farming opportunities while protecting its investors from market manipulation.
The collection wishes to speak of novelty through its NFTs while offering watch enthusiasts a chance to make the most out of the trendy elements present. Nonetheless, there is more to come, which means greater potential for the PAW collection.
Soon, the cryptoverse should expect more, including a PAW metaverse, a Play-to-Earn opportunity for holders, PAW staking options, free watch minting, and more. These steps combined with its marketplace will make DYP a crucial part of the current and future NFT market.

Patent-Pending Architecture Covers AI Routing, Offline Transactions, Temporal Settlement, and Energy as Native Money
Loadit today launched its public interactive MVP at https://mvp.loadit.net and simultaneously filed a landmark non-provisional patent application that consolidates ten previously separate financial rails into one unified, interlocking system.
The newly filed patent (application titled “Loadit Unified Financial Rail”) is now officially patent-pending with the USPTO and covers the entire Loadit technology stack, including:
• AI-orchestrated multi-rail routing (AERO)
• Identity-verified offline transactions (IVOR)
• Temporal programmable settlement (TSM)
• Energy-native monetary units backed by verifiable kWh/MJ (ENM)
• Quantum-optimized path selection and key management
• Universal value conversion across cash, card, fiat, crypto, stablecoins, and tokenized assets
• Geo-temporal compliance engine
• Self-healing fault-tolerant architecture
• Multi-reality (AR/VR/BCI) transaction interfaces
• Point-of-sale cash-to-crypto ingestion with zero new hardware
The live MVP at https://mvp.loadit.net lets anyone explore every patented layer in real time: watch the AI engine score and select rails, trigger an offline biometric transaction, lock in retroactive or future settlement prices, and convert dollars into spendable tokenized kilowatt-hours backed by real metered energy.
A companion site at https://loadit.net showcases the simplest merchant use case: any existing checkout counter becomes a crypto on-ramp in seconds using just a printed QR code.
“Most projects solve one piece of the puzzle. We just patented the entire operating system in one filing,” said Colt Trudell, founder and sole inventor. “The MVP is public today so the world can see exactly how Loadit turns decades of fragmented payment and energy infrastructure into a single coherent rail.”
Loadit is now actively seeking investors as it prepares to scale its unified financial rail into global retail, fintech, and energy markets.

LYNK reintroduces itself after a 1:1 contract migration, touting locked supply and community governance as it seeks traction within the Solana ecosystem.
LYNK (ticker: LYNK), a community-focused token on the Solana chain, returned to the market this week after completing a 1:1 contract swap. CoinMarketCap lists the token at roughly $0.0034 with a reported market cap near $797,500 and 24-hour volume of about $17,500, reflecting significant short-term volatility typical of newly relaunched community tokens.
Built and marketed as a community-driven project, LYNK positions itself as “more than just a meme coin,” emphasizing transparency, holder participation and education. The project page notes that roughly 76.64% of the supply is locked for 12 months, a detail the team highlights as a stability measure designed to align incentives and limit immediate sell pressure. CoinMarketCap shows a total supply of about 999.89 million LYNK, with a self-reported circulating supply of 233.53 million.
Technical and market notes on the CoinMarketCap listing indicate the token sits in the Solana ecosystem and is tagged with community-oriented categories. The page also flags the recent contract migration — an important operational step that can affect exchange listings, wallet compatibility and on-chain tracking. Explorers linked from the listing point to Solana network records for both the old and new contracts.
Community signals on the listing point to a small but active holder base; CoinMarketCap displays about 290 holders at the time of publication. That modest holder count, coupled with a high short-term price swing, signals that LYNK remains an early-stage token where liquidity and distribution are still evolving.
For readers tracking new Solana projects, the LYNK listing is worth noting for its combination of a large proportion of locked tokens, a recent 1:1 contract migration and an explicit community-first narrative. These elements will likely shape how the token is stewarded and traded in the coming months.
The Qtum Foundation today announced the launch of Qtum Ally, a next-generation desktop AI agent designed to move beyond basic conversational tools toward true intelligent automation.
Unlike most cloud-based assistants, Ally runs directly on Windows and Mac, giving users greater privacy, performance, and control. Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a universal interface standard that enables AI systems to interact with external data and tools, Ally provides seamless integration and coordination between multiple AI models.
With access to 12 leading large language models (LLMs) preloaded, Ally allows users to build advanced, multi-model workflows, host their own models, and connect MCP servers, all within a single, easy-to-install desktop app.
You can download Qtum Ally for Windows or Mac here: https://qtum.ai/download
“Qtum Ally makes productivity about orchestration, not overload,” said Miguel Palencia, Co-Founder of Qtum. “By bringing multiple LLMs into one refined workspace powered by MCP, we give users real control and simplicity. Ally eliminates clutter and turns AI into a genuine performance multiplier.”
Actionable AI Beyond Chat
Qtum Ally fully supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI models to do more than generate text – they can perform coordinated actions.
MCP functions like the “USB-C of AI,” a universal connector allowing models to share data and issue commands across software tools, APIs, and online services.
Using Ally’s built-in MCP hosts and servers, users can automate multi-step workflows, combine different AI models for reasoning, planning, and execution, and complete tasks with minimal input – for example, locate available rentals, generate a presentation, and automatically send it by email.
Ally comes pre-configured with several MCP hosts and lets users easily add more. Each host provides specific functions to connect local databases, APIs, or online data sources, turning Ally into a customizable automation hub.
Desktop Control and Data Privacy
Qtum Ally runs locally, not in the cloud, ensuring data privacy, transparency, and control. It operates natively on Windows and macOS, runs offline for secure and consistent performance, and collects no personal information beyond what is required by the models themselves.
This local-first design aligns with Qtum’s long-standing principles of user independence, decentralization, and open standards.
Access Premium AI for Free
Qtum Ally is free to download and use, and for a limited time, users can enjoy complimentary access to premium features from top models such as ChatGPT-5, Qwen, DeepSeek, Claude, and Gemini.
Download Qtum Ally directly from the official Qtum GitHub repository:
https://github.com/qtumproject/ai-agent/releases/tag/v0.0.6
