Roam Launches Global eSIM Bounty Program with $30,000 Reward Pool

Asset Chain has officially launched the USDT/WNT trading pair, marking a significant milestone for the first public layer-1 EVM chain from Africa, co-developed by the Wicrypt team. This new trading pair aims to enhance liquidity depth for WNT and increase the Total Value Locked (TVL) on Asset Chain. The decentralized exchange (DEX) operates as an automated market maker (AMM), similar to Uniswap V3, and is currently running a Liquidity Mining Campaign designed to incentivize liquidity providers and traders. Participants can earn points based on their trading activities, which will contribute to airdrops of the blockchain’s native token after the Token Generation Event (TGE). The more transactions users complete, the more points they accumulate, ultimately increasing their airdrop potential. To further engage the community, Asset Chain is launching a special Boost Campaign for the Liquidity Mining Program, specifically targeting the USDT/WNT pair. This campaign, commencing on August 27th, will offer enhanced rewards for liquidity provision, allowing participants to earn up to 200% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on locked liquidity positions. Additionally, non-custodial wallets holding over 50,000 WNT will receive double points for liquidity provision transactions from September 9th to October 9th. This initiative is designed to maximize returns for liquidity providers and encourage more users to participate in the ecosystem. In conjunction with the liquidity provision campaign, a 30-day trading campaign will also begin on August 27th, providing users with double points for trading activities on the USDT/WNT pair. A reward pool of $3,000 USDT and $2,000 worth of WNT will be distributed among the top 10 traders based on their trading volumes during the campaign. To qualify, traders must maintain a minimum weekly trading volume of $50,000, totaling at least $200,000 over the 30 days. This dual approach aims to boost trading activity and liquidity on the Asset Chain DEX, driving the WNT token to new heights.

The decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) sector has recently witnessed a surge in online discussions, highlighting several major projects that have dominated social media activity. Leading the charge is Chainlink ($LINK), which has solidified its presence in crypto conversations with an impressive 21,600 posts and a staggering 4.6 million interactions. This level of engagement underscores Chainlink's significance in the DePIN landscape, showcasing its ability to attract attention and foster community involvement. Following Chainlink, Bittensor ($TAO) has emerged as a strong contender, securing the second position with 15,500 engaged posts and 1.7 million interactions. The growing interest in Bittensor reflects its appeal within communities, particularly due to advancements in decentralized AI and infrastructure solutions. Internet Computer ($ICP) ranks third, generating 6,200 posts and 325,600 interactions, while Render ($RENDER) also made notable strides with 4,400 posts and 248,500 interactions. Meanwhile, Helium ($HNT) and Akash Network ($AKT) demonstrated solid community engagement, with HNT achieving 1,800 posts and 59,200 interactions, and AKT garnering 1,700 posts and 70,900 interactions. The data indicates that social engagement within DePIN projects is a crucial indicator of strength, as trust and participation hinge on the representation of social capital. Projects like Chainlink, Bittensor, and Internet Computer are not only driving interaction but also shaping the future of decentralized networks in connectivity and cloud services. As the industry continues to evolve, the ability of these projects to maintain high levels of engagement will likely play a pivotal role in determining their long-term impact and relevance in the blockchain ecosystem.

The conversation surrounding cryptocurrency in the United States has undergone a significant transformation, with industry leaders heralding it as a pivotal moment. After years of stringent regulatory actions, the atmosphere in Washington regarding digital assets has shifted notably, indicating a potential path towards mainstream acceptance. Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, emphasized the stark contrast in how policymakers now engage with digital assets compared to the previous year. At the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, he noted a more supportive tone, particularly highlighting the surprising endorsement of blockchain technology by several Federal Reserve governors, which he described as a new dawn for the industry. Legal voices in the crypto sector have also acknowledged this shift. Attorney John Deaton characterized the change as a complete turnaround, moving from a period of regulatory suffocation under what he termed "ChokePoint 2.0" to a landscape ripe for universal acceptance and mass adoption. His remarks underscore the rapid evolution in the regulatory environment, suggesting that the industry is now on a path toward broader acceptance rather than being stifled by enforcement actions. This sentiment reflects a growing optimism among crypto advocates about the future of digital assets in the U.S. Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, contributed to the dialogue by emphasizing the necessity for a coordinated regulatory approach in the post-GENIUS Act era. He participated in discussions with notable representatives from various organizations, advocating for clarity and support for innovation through collaboration between lawmakers and the executive branch. This evolving dialogue indicates a broader shift in how traditional policymakers perceive cryptocurrencies, moving from skepticism to a focus on collaboration and sustainable growth. If this momentum continues, the U.S. could not only clarify its own regulatory landscape but also play a crucial role in shaping the global future of digital assets.

WeatherXM is on a mission to establish a community-driven weather network in Africa, aimed at providing hyperlocal weather data where it is most needed. At the DePIN Summit 2025 held in Kenya and Zanzibar, the WeatherXM team engaged with founders and innovators in the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) space. This summit was not merely a conference; it was an opportunity to witness how community-owned weather data can significantly improve the lives of local populations. The deployment of a single weather station has already shown the potential to empower entire regions, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding agriculture, safety, and climate resilience. In many rural areas, traditional weather forecasting methods are inadequate, leaving billions without reliable information. WeatherXM's approach is centered around community involvement, where each weather station is owned and operated by local individuals. This model not only provides essential weather insights but also fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility within the community. The collaboration with local partners, such as BLCK-IoT, has already seen over 170 weather stations deployed in Kenya, illustrating the growing impact of this initiative. WeatherXM believes that the future of weather forecasting should be built by the people, for the people. The journey to build this network has been deeply personal for the WeatherXM team. They have connected with farmers, community leaders, and educators who are eager to leverage real-time weather data for better decision-making. The team is committed to empowering local innovators by providing financial and operational support to launch sustainable projects that benefit their communities. As they prepare to unveil new initiatives, WeatherXM emphasizes the importance of strengthening community-driven infrastructure to uplift the entire DePIN ecosystem. Their heartfelt gratitude extends to the organizers of the DePIN Summit, fellow builders, and the welcoming communities of Kenya and Tanzania, who have inspired their mission to create a future that is truly community-owned and driven.
