In recent years, the biggest change in AI is not that models have become smarter, but that the ability to take action has begun to emerge systematically.
From the earliest ChatBots that could only answer questions, to Agents that can invoke tools, break down tasks, and execute continuously, AI is transforming from a "suggestive entity" into a "real working system".
But problems have also surfaced:
AI can perform tasks now, but money and execution power are still firmly in human hands.
Every step of invocation requires a signature, a recharge, and a confirmation, every automated process ultimately gets stuck at the human level.
This is also why I am increasingly convinced: The next phase of AI is not about being smarter, but about being more "executable".
It’s not a matter of whether one can understand, but whether one can complete a real action with low friction.
At this point, looking back at what $SOON is doing, it becomes very clear that it is not about piling up an "AI narrative", but about filling in the most missing piece in the AI world: the infrastructure for execution and settlement.
When Agents can be authorized, can pay automatically, and can settle with certainty, AI will no longer be just a "consultant", but a true participant.
Many products that seem "like AI" in the future will fundamentally become: AI + execution layer + settleable results.
100X is a brand-new short-term perpetual contract gameplay.
Unlike traditional perpetual contracts, 100X does not emphasize long-term holding or position management. Instead, it simplifies trading into a clear, single decision within a fixed time window.
In 100X: • Each position has a fixed 30-second execution cycle • Leverage is determined once at entry (up to 10000x), and cannot be adjusted during the cycle • No take-profit or stop-loss, and no mid-cycle position adjustments • When the 30 seconds end, the system automatically settles the position
In short, you only need to do three things: Choose direction → Choose leverage → Wait for settlement
The core of this design is not to make trading more aggressive, but to make risk, time, and outcome fully clear from the start.
100X is more like a "short-cycle decision engine": Time is locked, rules are set in advance, and results are automatically executed by the system.
2025 is coming to a close, while SOON continues to move forward. In the past week, we have made significant progress in global communities, industry events, ecological development, and key milestones.
🌍 Offline Industry Communication | New York 2025 Annual Review On December 22, SOON co-hosted the "2025 Annual Review" themed event in New York 🇺🇸 with CryptoMondaysNY and Odaily.
The attendees unanimously agreed that: • The market is shifting from "narrative-driven" to "execution-driven" • Speculation is receding, with infrastructure, real applications, and institutional participation becoming the main themes • Most old narratives are either maturing or gradually being eliminated • The market is becoming more discerning and pragmatic
2025 is a year of transition, while 2026 is even more anticipated.
Thanks to all the guests and partners for their wonderful sharing, and we look forward to the next offline gathering 🤝

🏗️ Ecology and Prospects | ETHDenver 2026 We are pleased to announce: Joanna, SOON co-founder and CEO, will be a speaker at ETHDenver 2026.
From high-performance SVM Rollup to cross-layer 1 execution architecture, $SOON is continuously building truly deployable infrastructure in New BUIDL City.
🔮 2025 is a year of consolidation, while 2026 will be a year of execution and realization. SOON has always been on the road.
The Builder Night on the 22nd has successfully concluded. SOON Growth Lead shared thoughts on "The Current State and Future of AI Capital Markets," based on real experimental cases of SOON on X402, discussing Perp DEX architecture, the gap in on-chain trading experiences, and AI Capital.
In SOON's view, these are not just conceptual narratives but system designs that are being validated. We will continue to address complex problems through architecture with actual products.
In the past week, SOON has made significant strides in the mainnet, ZK, x402, product, and ecosystem👇
🧩 1. SOON becomes the first zkSVM to launch on the mainnet
We have officially adopted ZK fault proofs provided by Boundless: • Withdrawals: 1 day → a few minutes • Dispute resolution: 7 days → ~24 hours • Cost unchanged, high performance unchanged
To achieve this, the team has solved several industry-first challenges (EVM×SVM semantic bridging, hybrid storage, SVM data pipelines, etc.).
⚡ 2. x402 v2: Making payments an "internet-native action"
This week's AMA clarified the direction of x402: • HTTP directly triggers payments • Gasless ERC20 (Permit2 + EIP-3009) • Supports asset issuance, prediction settlements, Perp trading • Deep integration with embedded wallets
x402 is evolving from a "settlement layer" to the execution base of AI × Web3.
🎮 3. 100XSOON is about to launch
Based on x402's mini-perp, the design goal is simple: • Fixed cost • 30-second short positions • No margin, no forced liquidation • Interaction as easy as "Checkout"
This is a complete redesign of the trading experience itself, rather than a copy of DeFi.
🌐 4. Ecosystem Updates: Builders > Hype • CEO Joanna invited as a speaker for ETHDenver 2026 • Hosted Builder Night in Seoul, co-building with BNB, IOTA, Unibase, etc. • The biggest consensus at Breakpoint: User experience is becoming the industry's top priority
🧠 Brief Summary • SOON mainnet upgraded to the first zkSVM • ZK proofs make withdrawals fast to the minute level • x402 v2 enters the "no wallet feel" era • 100XSOON is about to launch • The entire ecosystem shifts from focusing on performance → to the intersection of performance + experience #加密市场观察
Yesterday, #Soon launched a new gameplay for x402, and within 3 hours, it has already reached the first place on the @x402scan leaderboard, on-chain transaction volume exceeded 116,000+.
The second round will start soon today, please follow the official Twitter and stay prepared💪
SOON's x402 Social Experiment: Igniting the AI Revolution with High-Performance Infrastructure
The x402 protocol is ushering in a new era—AI agents with economic autonomy that can freely exchange services. Cryptocurrency networks are becoming the core value exchange layer of this future. SOON stands at the forefront of this transformation, leveraging its high-performance infrastructure to support this AI-driven new economy of value exchange. This marks the official launch of the SOON × x402 Social Experiment Trilogy. Why x402 X SOON?
Introduction to x402 x402 is a native internet payment protocol that uses the HTTP standard's reserved '402 Payment Required' status code, allowing websites and applications to charge for resources directly within the standard HTTP request/response process.
Just officially launched a social experiment based on x402: AI Agents can independently on-chain ➡️ Trade ➡️ Issue assets ➡️ Even directly open a chain
With a confirmation speed of <400ms + ultra-low transaction fees, SOON is transforming the chain into an execution layer that AI can truly use, afford, and enjoy.
The story of AI × On-chain Finance has just begun.

SOON is the first chain to move from 'cryptographic narrative' to 'compliance narrative'. It believes that the starting point of mainstream adoption is not airdrops, but trust💪 $SOON
SOON is not about "winning over" a certain chain, but rather about making all chains faster. We believe that performance should be like bandwidth—accessible to everyone, with every project able to connect.
The blockchain industry has been talking about "scalability", but scalability ≠ performance. Most so-called "high-performance chains" just pile up data without truly addressing the contradictions of "latency, throughput, and stability". SOON redefined performance: stability, verifiability, reusability. Through modular Infra Stack and Perp Stack, SOON abstracts core capabilities such as computing power, clearing, matching, and contract execution into a generic interface, allowing developers to call performance like they would call cloud services. From "can run" to "runs well", SOON makes performance a shared resource—any project can stand on a high-performance foundation. #巨鲸动向 #SOON
In the past few years, the blockchain world has been trapped in a strange loop: New public chains rise → Ecological expansion → Congestion and delays → New "high-performance chains" emerge. But these chains often only solve the "speed" issue, without addressing "stability" and "affordability."
The starting point of #SOON is completely different. It is not about creating a "faster chain," but rather about becoming the performance service layer for the entire industry (Performance Layer). Through a combination of modular Infra Stack + Perp Stack, SOON encapsulates capabilities such as computing power, bandwidth, matching, and clearing into standardized interfaces. Developers do not need to reinvent the wheel, Institutions can directly connect to the high-performance execution layer, What users get is a stable, low-latency, and cost-controllable experience.
This is the logic of SOON: from chain to layer, from performance to service.
