Lendefi Community Announcement: An Outline of New Developments and Initiatives

Published

6 years ago

on

The Lendefi Protocol introduces secured lending to give lenders much-needed confidence in a highly volatile crypto market. 

The project offers traditional and private lenders access to higher interest rates while shielding them from crypto market fluctuations. It also provides secure lending opportunities by eliminating any counterparty risk between the lender and borrower.

Lendefi works by guaranteeing lenders a variable interest secured by the liquidity provided on the decentralised finance (DeFi) ecosystem in top protocols such as Uniswap and PancakeSwap. On the other hand, borrowers benefit from a wide variety of supported digital assets to invest in by borrowing funds from the Protocol. 

The Alpha Version of the Lendefi Protocol is Complete!

The Lendefi Protocol is proud to announce the integration of new developments and initiatives geared toward adding value to the project.

For starters, the project has completed the development of the Alpha version of its Protocol as per the timeline provided on the Lendefi roadmap (i.e. by the end of Q1, 2021). The Alpha, a fork of Compound that integrates a custom borrowing component to facilitate undercollateralized lending, is now available on GitHub.

The project has engaged a new enterprise development team (DeepDive.Tech) to take the Lendefi Protocol from its current Alpha version to a much superior level. 

Deepdive.Tech has a strong track record of building smart, intuitive, complex blockchain solutions. They tap the latest technologies and industrial-grade practices to rapidly incorporate new ideas into their solutions, aided by their vast private legacy repository of blockchain and API solutions.

The Lendefi team will work closely with their new counterparts to deliver an Enterprise Grade solution built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The decision not to deploy this Alpha version on the BSC blockchain stems from discussions between the dev teams, a ground up build.

A resolution was made to shift from ETH due to the high gas fees charged for transactions in the network. Mounting transaction fees on Ethereum undermine the ability of DeFi projects built on the blockchain to function efficiently/economically and provide an undercollateralised lending platform to various segments of the market.

BSC offers the most developed and cost-effective DeFi infrastructure outside of the Ethereum network. The chain’s viable costs across varied transaction scales give it the edge over ETH and allow Lendefi to deliver a ‘financially democratic Protocol’ that benefits the community in the long run.

Moving forward, the new enterprise development team will help Lendefi create a more interactive development model in the form of presentations and community voting. This approach will enable the project to tap into the diverse skill sets and industry knowledge within its communities. 

DeepDive.Tech and the Lendefi management team are also working on a whitepaper (to be released soon) that outlines how the Lendefi vision is transplanted and built into the BSC ecosystem.

More On the BSC Migration & PancakeSwap Listing

The Lendefi Protocol’s governance token (LDFI) is set to move over to BSC, allowing the community to take immediate advantage of the Binance Chain DEX ecosystem. The BEP-20 governance token will first be available on PancakeSwap, where an LP has already been launched. 

The BSC Bridge, which will allow the Tokenholders to convert their ERC-20 to BEP-20 (1 for 1), is almost complete and is scheduled for launch on April 5th 2021. 

Lendefi token holders will then be able to use the web dApp to swap their ERC-20 for BEP-20, with only having to pay the transaction fee. They will also need to bridge, which entails locking the LDFI token on one chain (ETH) and then unlocking it on another (BSC).

Migration Rewards For All Token Holders

As an incentive for community members to swap their tokens, Lendefi will be running a two-tier Migration rewards program to reward both legacy and new Token Holders.

The first tier will offer a prize pool of 20,000 LDFI BEP-20, randomly given to new BEP-20 holders that purchase from PancakeSwap.

The second tier of the program seeks to thank existing token holders who migrate LDFI from ERC-20 to BEP-20. These users will receive 10% capped at 100,000 LDFI in total rewards for the program. More details on the migration bonus program will be released soon. Stay tuned!

The Rebranding Effort 

The Lendefi management team has opted to take advantage of the imminent chain migration to rebrand Lendefi into something more aligned with the BSC ecosystem. 

The team has settled on the Lendefi Lion (LL) to represent the protocol, as it embodies self-sufficiency, pride, determination, leadership, grace and power, attributes that best describe the project. The new Lendefi Lion telegram stickers are available here.

Finally, the team has launched a new website (Lendefi.Finance) in line with the rebranding effort. The website design is minimalistic, easy to use, clean and organized. It also provides all the info stored with reputable 3rd parties and is primarily designed to host the Protocol application. 

Other Developments On The Protocol

The team has chosen Gitbook, a 3rd party centralized storage repository for the decentralized protocol, as the Protocol’s Wiki. The Gitbook will hold all relevant project info, links and How To’s for the project; access will be managed by DAO, which will act as the gatekeeper to the storage in the future.  

Other developments include the development of a new Staking program that will be released in the coming weeks. This feature will allow BEP-20 Token Holders to Stake their governance tokens and enjoy a lucrative annual percentage yield (APY). 

Lendefi has revealed that it will also be migrating its existing liquidity rewards program on Uniswap to Pancakeswap. The initial monthly rewards will be set at 10,000$ worth of LDFI.

Efforts are also underway to list Lendefi on CoinMarketCap and Coingecko. These listings will now be updated with new branding and circulating/total supply API feeds to ensure complete transparency about the token supply on a real-time basis. 

What’s more, Lendefi has secured a listing at a reputable centralized global exchange and is in the listing process’s final stages. Since the protocol now supports both ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens, it will have more listing opportunities!

Help Create and Share Lendefi Content

Coming into April, the project will engage various promotional channels and begin to broadcast all that the Lendefi Protocol has to offer around a range of Telegram channels and other platforms.

The crypto community can also expect more informative articles on project developments and announcements to be posted on Medium, Twitter and Telegram.

RWA WEEK Singapore Announces New Wave of Institutional Speakers as October Event Draws Closer

Published

2 days ago

on

October 6, 2026

By

Singapore, October 6, 2026 — With less than a month to go until RWA WEEK Singapore, the organizers have announced a new wave of confirmed speakers and further details of the week-long program, which will bring together leading institutional investors, regulators, financial infrastructure providers, asset managers, family offices, blockchain founders, and Web3 companies in Singapore from October 5–9, 2026.

RWA WEEK Singapore is set to become one of the region’s key gatherings focused on the rapidly developing real-world asset tokenization economy, bringing together the traditional financial sector and the global digital asset industry at a time when institutional interest in tokenized assets continues to accelerate. The five-day program will feature a series of high-level events, curated investor meetings, private networking opportunities, and institutional discussions culminating in the flagship RWA Summit Singapore on October 9 at Marina One West Tower.

The RWA WEEK program will open on October 5 with THE DEALFLOW, a dedicated gathering for investors, asset managers, family offices, and capital allocators focused on curated networking, investment opportunities, and deal-making. The event is co-hosted by KundaBox. On October 6, TOKENISED VIP Singapore will bring together a highly curated group of institutional investors, RWA SUMMIT speakers, financial institutions, asset managers, family offices, founders, and senior digital asset executives for discussions around real-world tokenization use cases and institutional blockchain adoption. The week will culminate with RWA Summit Singapore on October 9, bringing together the wider RWA ecosystem for a full day of discussions, insights, networking, and business opportunities. The flagship summit is expected to attract more than 1,500 attendees, over 70 speakers, and upwards of 200 investors shaping the future of asset tokenization.

The organizers have also announced a new group of confirmed speakers who will join the previously revealed lineup. The latest additions include Adriel Wong, Head of Private Sector – APAC at TRM Labs; Yalini Isweran, Executive Director, Innovation Strategy at DTCC Digital Assets; Huong T Tran, Founder & Managing Partner at 6igma Ventures; and Melody He, Co-Founder & Partner at Spartan Group; Charles d’Haussy, CEO at dYdX Foundation; Pei Chen, CEO of Theoriq; Peter Kadish, Managing Director at LynxCap Investments. 

The new speakers bring together expertise spanning financial regulation, institutional policy, financial market infrastructure, blockchain intelligence, investment, venture capital, decentralized infrastructure, and digital asset adoption. Their participation further strengthens the institutional focus of the Singapore edition as the RWA sector moves from early experimentation toward practical implementation across global financial markets.

They join an already strong lineup of confirmed speakers, including Yat Siu, Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands; Viv Diwakar, Head of Foundation at Canton; Edwin Mata, Co-Founder & CEO at Brickken; Julian Kwan, Co-Founder & CRO at IXS; 

The growing speaker lineup reflects the broader evolution of the RWA market, where conversations are increasingly moving beyond the concept of tokenization itself toward the infrastructure, regulation, compliance, liquidity, custody, investment structures, and institutional frameworks required for tokenized assets to scale. The presence of senior representatives from organizations such as the Monetary Authority of Singapore, DTCC Digital Assets, and TRM Labs highlights the growing intersection between traditional financial infrastructure and the digital asset ecosystem.

RWA WEEK has also continued to expand its network of strategic partners supporting the Singapore edition. LYNXCAP Investments, dYdX, InvestaX, GeoTicker, Pharos and Theoriq are among the strategic partners of RWA WEEK Singapore, while TRM Labs joins the program specifically as Co-Host of TOKENISED VIP Singapore. The event is produced by UVECON.VC, a company of UVC GROUP.

RWA WEEK has established a growing international presence across major financial and digital asset hubs including Hong Kong, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Seoul, and Singapore. Previous editions of RWA Summit have attracted hundreds of participants and leading voices from finance, digital assets, investment, and regulation. The Hong Kong edition welcomed more than 750 attendees and over 50 speakers, while the Dubai edition brought together representatives from leading Web3 companies, investment funds, exchanges, and regulatory organizations.

Singapore represents a particularly important destination for the next edition of RWA WEEK given the city’s position as a global financial center and its role in the development of digital asset regulation, financial innovation, and institutional blockchain infrastructure. As banks, asset managers, investment firms, and technology companies increasingly explore tokenized funds, securities, private credit, real estate, and other real-world assets, Singapore is emerging as one of the key markets where traditional finance and blockchain-based infrastructure are converging.

“We are witnessing the RWA market transition from experimentation to real institutional integration,” said Ivan V. Ivanov, Co-Founder of UVECON.VC, UVC GROUP and RWA WEEK. “RWA WEEK is designed to bring together the different sides of this market — institutional capital, financial infrastructure, regulators, technology providers, and Web3 innovators — and create an environment where meaningful partnerships, capital allocation, and real-world tokenization use cases can emerge. The strength of the Singapore lineup demonstrates how quickly this sector is developing.”

With only weeks remaining before RWA WEEK Singapore, preparations for the event are now entering their final stage. Interest from institutional participants, investors, founders, and industry professionals continues to build as the October program approaches, with attendees encouraged to secure their access ahead of the event.

RWA WEEK Singapore will take place October 5–9, 2026, with RWA Summit Singapore taking place on October 9 at Marina One West Tower.

Blockchain

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

Published

3 months ago

on

July 23, 2026

By

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.
