Mdex adopts a new IMO mechanism to launch Demeter: empower MDX to be the cradle of quality assets
On September 13, Mdex launched the IMO for Demeter tokens and attracted over $350 million in participation.
At present, many projects on DApps are choosing to issue their initial tokens and establish liquidity in a decentralized way as it is more in line with the characteristics of the blockchain field. As a consequence, many blockchain entrepreneurs are looking for a launchpad that excels in issuing tokens and offering sufficient liquidity. This makes the competition for IDO functions enter a more refined stage: competitiveness and data playing the decisive factors.
Staking to earn new tokens: innovative IMO mechanism
IMO (Initial Mdex Offering) is an initial decentralized online exchange mechanism based on MDEX. The mechanism provides sufficient liquidity for projects while allowing users to participate more fairly.
By launching IMO under a new mechanism, MDEX not only finds more quality assets for users and but also empowers MDX. The first project under the innovative IMO mechanism is Demeter, a market protocol of decentralized cryptocurrency. DMT, the governance token of Demeter, is also issued through IMO with a liquidity pool created on Mdex.
The latest round of IMO on September 13 attracted 6,500 participants and raised a total of $350 million funds, on par with the achievements of Coinwind’s public offering in May. The highlight of this public offering is the rule of “staking to earn new tokens” in the new IMO mechanism, with a total of over 1 billion MDXs participating in it.
The new mechanism allows users to participate in IMO with either MDX or xMDX, the Boardroom lock-in voucher. This rule frees up the liquidity of the MDXes locked in the board and provides all MDX holders with a fair opportunity to participate in the IMO. Lock-in voucher xMDX can receive different shares of tokens in the IMO, based on their different durations. Shares of tokens increase with the duration of the lock-in, i.e., the longer the lock-in period, the more tokens to be received for participating in the IMO.
For MDX holders, what’s even more exciting is that they are able to gain new tokens just by staking MDX, without losing their MDX or lock-in voucher xMDX positions.
Under the new IMO mechanism, participants can convert their lock-in profits into the platform tokens, which makes MDX “a gold shovel” for users. By exchanging the profits from lock-in revenue with new tokens, the platform introduces the compound interest method of investment, so that users can gain new opportunities with zero loss in their accounts.
Millions of active users: Mdex being “the first choice to launch projects”
IDO is a primary market which has always generated impressive yields. With the support of Mdex, however, it is even more valuable for investors to focus on IMO.
On May 25, Mdex conducted its first IMO, during which the Coinwind project attracted $380 million in participation, ending with a surprising number of 257 times the expectation. Meanwhile, 8,874 addresses participated in the IMO, with an exchange surpassing the expectation by over 25,726% and a token price increase by 500%, making it one of the most attractive projects. Such a heat and achievement made it impossible to even believe that it occurred right after the market crash on May 19.
After the launch of Mdex, it has quickly captured a large number of users, gathered super high liquidity, and became the headline DEX as well as the ideal IDO platform. Completing token issuance on Mdex not only ensures a large amount of active users of the platform, but also is an excellent publicity for the project itself, in terms of the promotion of its product and the building of its community.
User-friendly and community-oriented: Mdex being the cradle for high-quality assets
For entrepreneurs, Mdex is “the first choice for project launch”; in the eyes of investors, Mdex has an additional property of “the origin of multiple tokens”. Because of this expectation, Mdex has made the best professional judgment in project selection.
As the first project launched under the new IMO mechanism, Demeter is a protocol of decentralized lending and stablecoins based on Heco. It is now expected to become the MakerDao on HECO.
Demeter has introduced over-collateralization for lending. The innovation lies in that user’s credit limit will be generated according to their asset factor, which is based on their assets collateralized. The amount that users can borrow and mint stablecoins is restricted by the credit limit, so as to ensure the safety of the user’s property and that of the whole system.
Unlike traditional decentralized lending protocols, Demeter has optimized the interest rate model and collateral coefficient of its DeFi lending protocol. Demeter assets are more diversified, with the introduction of richer crypto asset types such as LP assets, collateral assets, NFT-fi assets, etc. This optimization breaks the restrictions of decentralized lending on collateral. As credit ratings have been conducted with these assets, the lending model between currencies is highly matched, while the algorithm of interest rate adjustment is more reasonable under the premise of ensuring security.
With the more diverse and secure lending service, DUSD, Demeter’s stablecoins demonstrate the same feature. Since DUSD is generated through multi-asset collaterals, it is much less risky and more stable than tokens generated based on single-asset collaterals.
Demeter has demonstrate its farsightness and practicality in innovatively breaking the ceiling of DeFi lending collateral asset, resisting the price volatility of decentralized stablecoins, and liquidation.
The new IMO mechanism brings fair opportunities to all MDX holders. The recently released Hunter program, which provides a total of $10 million to support quality projects, will further lift the competitiveness and attractiveness of Mdex in terms of IMOs. This will help build a new business ecology that covers more application scenarios and is deployed on more chains, providing global users with more convenient, high-performance, low cost and undifferentiated financial services.

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

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.

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