Web Summit 2024: Hyperchains Break Down Blockchain Barriers

Hyperchains, the highly-anticipated blockchain innovation, will debut at Web Summit 2024 in Lisbon. This groundbreaking solution democratizes blockchain technology, enabling anyone—from individuals to large enterprises—to create and customize their own blockchain networks with unprecedented ease.
This advanced concept, envisioned by blockchain pioneers, has been in development over several years by the Aeternity Foundation and its ecosystem contributors. Hyperchains mark a significant advancement in blockchain evolution, allowing users to effortlessly create their own chains with no coding necessary, while leveraging the entire æternity ecosystem’s powerful suite of tools including state channels, oracles, NFTs, and advanced smart contract capabilities. With unparalleled simplicity and scalability, Hyperchains empower their creators to integrate secure, decentralized solutions tailored to their specific needs, whether they’re individual developers, startups, or established enterprises.
A Universal Blockchain Solution with Enterprise-Grade Capabilities
Hyperchains offer a unique hybrid consensus model that combines both Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of Work (PoW) mechanisms to provide a secure and scalable blockchain experience. By anchoring to established blockchains like Bitcoin, Hyperchains offer initiators a robust and customizable infrastructure, ideally suited for enterprise-grade applications.
The solution redefines blockchain adoption by eliminating traditional barriers of complexity and technical expertise. One of the standout features of Hyperchains is its no-code deployment, which enables anyone to seamlessly launch and customize their own blockchain networks without needing deep technical knowledge or specialized hardware.
Key Benefits
1. Privacy and Security in Blockchain Transactions
Hyperchains have the capability to utilize state channels and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), similar to other components within the æternity ecosystem. These features allow for private off-chain transactions with auditability, addressing corporate concerns around transparency and secure interactions..
2. Seamless System Integration
Hyperchains are designed to integrate with Web2.0 applications like SAP and Oracle Financial, using industry-standard protocols such as ISO20022. This allows for seamless blockchain adoption without the need for specialized expertise and is part of the broader æternity ecosystem’s capabilities.
3. NFT-Based Identity and Transactions
Leveraging non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for secure, web3-native authentication systems or multi-signature networks, Hyperchains provide immutable, verifiable identity solutions for both individuals and organizations.
4. Stablecoins and Regulation Compliance
Hyperchains support stablecoins compliant with MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation), making them ideal for anyone concerned about cryptocurrency volatility and legal compliance in regulated environments.
5. Enhanced Scalability and Efficiency
Hyperchains offer scalable solutions powered by state channels and built on Erlang, providing low latency and high throughput at reduced costs. This makes them perfect for applications of any scale, from individual projects to enterprise-level deployments.
6. Use of Oracles and Data Privacy
æternity’s oracles provide signed and trusted on-chain data feeds, ensuring the integrity of critical information without unnecessary data storage on the blockchain. This is crucial for anyone handling sensitive financial data, from individuals to large organizations.
7. Flexible Blockchain Solutions
Hyperchains offer customizable blockchain options for various use cases such as supply chain management, financial transactions, and creative projects. With features like smart contracts, generalized accounts, and multi-signature authorizations, users have the flexibility to scale as needed.
Democratizing Blockchain Technology
“Hyperchains represent a significant milestone in blockchain adoption and accessibility,” said Nikola Stojanow, Chairman of the Aeternity Foundation. “Years of development and refinement have shaped this transformative solution into a platform that works for everyone. While Hyperchains offers enterprise-grade capabilities that make it perfect for business applications, its true power lies in its simplicity and accessibility—anyone can leverage these powerful tools to build their own blockchain future.”

TradeSta Launches “Collateral Back” Campaign: 50% collateral back on First Liquidation for Traders

TradeSta, the next-gen decentralized perpetuals trading platform built on Avalanche c-chain, is giving traders a second chance — literally.
Starting Tuesday 20th May 2025, the platform has launched its TradeStaCollateralBack campaign, offering a 50% refund on collateral (up to $25 USDC) for users who get liquidated on their first trade during the promotional period.
This bold new initiative is part of TradeSta’s mission to make high-leverage DeFi trading more accessible, transparent, and forgiving for newcomers and seasoned traders alike.
The campaign runs from Tuesday, May 20 through Tuesday, June 3, 2025 at 23:59 UTC.
“At TradeSta, we’re building more than just another DEX — we’re creating a trading experience that’s fast, fair, and actually puts the user first,” said Kieron Cartledge, Founder and CEO of TradeSta. “This campaign is our way of saying: it’s okay to take a swing — we’ve got your back if you miss.”
🔥 Here’s How It Works
Eligible users who open a position and get liquidated during the campaign will receive 50% of their collateral back, up to $25 USDC — no strings attached.
To qualify:
- Minimum position size: $10 USDC
- Minimum leverage: 10x
- Must be the first loss from that wallet during the campaign
- Refunds are processed in USDC on Avalanche C-Chain
- Payouts sent within 72 working hours of liquidation
Whether you’re trading BTC, ETH, AVAX, gold, oil, or even RWAs, TradeSta gives you full control from start to finish. No KYC, no signups, just pure onchain execution — with lightning-fast trades, real-time pricing via Pyth Network.
✨ Why This Matters
Trading with leverage can be intimidating, especially for new users exploring DeFi for the first time. TradeSta’s campaign reduces the fear factor by offering a real incentive to test the waters — without getting burned.
“It’s not about encouraging risk,” Cartledge added. “It’s about rewarding participation and showing the community that DeFi doesn’t have to be cold, complex, or unforgiving.”
🚀 About TradeSta
TradeSta is a self-custodial perpetuals trading platform that allows users to trade crypto, commodities, FX, and real-world assets with up to 100x leverage — all without giving up control of their funds. Built on Avalanche & powered by Pyth Network, TradeSta combines DeFi values with CEX-like performance.
