Loadit Unveils Interactive MVP and Files Sweeping Unified Financial Rail Patent

Published

November 27, 2025

By

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.

About Loadit

Loadit is building the unified settlement layer for cash, cards, crypto, and energy. One architecture. Zero hardware lock-in. Patent-pending worldwide.

LYNK Emerges as Community-First Token on Solana Following Contract Swap

Published

on

November 1, 2025

By

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.

Qtum Ally Brings 12 AI Models and MCP Together in One Secure Desktop Application

Published

on

October 30, 2025

By

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

About Qtum

Founded in 2017, Qtum is a hybrid blockchain platform that merges Bitcoin’s UTXO stability with Ethereum’s smart contract flexibility. Powered by Proof-of-Stake consensus, Qtum operates as a fully decentralized network listed on major exchanges such as Binance, Kraken, Upbit, OKX, and Huobi.

Qtum has delivered nearly 50 core updates since inception and continuously integrates advancements from both Bitcoin and Ethereum. In March 2024, the foundation expanded into AI through the acquisition of a large-scale NVIDIA GPU farm. Qtum Ally represents the next step in this initiative, with upcoming plans to integrate the Qtum blockchain token directly into the Ally platform.
