When Plasma's XPL token was issued a month ago crypto investors were chomping at the bit to buy a slice of the new blockchain that was built for stablecoins.
But despite stablecoins being a dominant theme throughout this bull cycle, Plasma failed to live up to the hype; with XPL now having lost more than 80% of its value since September's short-lived high of $1.67 XPL offers an intriguing value proposition as the core token of a stablecoin-centric Layer-1 blockchain, but its price performance after launch has been challenging and demand remains tied to broader adoption of Plasma’s network features. Utility improvements like staking and governance could support higher demand in 2026, but volatility, adoption uncertainty, and market sentiment are key risks to monitor. @Plasma #Plasma $XPL
#plasma $XPL @Plasma Launch & Market Performance XPL debuted on major exchanges (e.g., Binance, with an initial market cap above $2.4–$2.8 billion and prices up to ~$1.5 early on.
After launch, the token’s price fell sharply — losing over 80% of its value from its highs — partly due to selling pressure and muted demand

Swarm Network Taps Walrus to Power Truly Verifiable AI on Rollup.News
$WAL Imagine scrolling through your feed and seeing a claim pop up, maybe it’s about skyrocketing vaccine death rates, or a viral video showing a bear wandering down Wall Street. Now picture an army of little AI helpers quietly buzzing in the background, double‑checking every fact, logging their sources, and stamping their verdicts onto a public ledger for anyone to inspect. That’s exactly what Swarm Network’s Rollup.News is all about, and today they’re making it even more bulletproof by plugging into Walrus, the new decentralized data layer on Sui.
Rollup.News has been quietly building this social‑media fact‑checker for a bit now. Its network of AI agents watches for bold claims, gathers evidence, debates among themselves, and then writes a consensus‑backed “yes, that’s true” or “nope, false” directly to the blockchain. But as these agents chew through more videos, screenshots, and long‑winded arguments, Swarm ran into a snag: traditional databases just couldn’t keep up while guaranteeing permanent, censorship‑resistant storage.
Enter Walrus. Think of it as a super‑durable library for media‑rich files—videos, images, audio clips, you name it—where every book is cryptographically sealed, and only you hold the key. Swarm is starting off by shoving its raw claims data into Walrus; next on the docket are the internal chat logs of its AI agents, the piles of evidence they’ve gathered, and all those little reasoning snippets that led to a final verdict.#walrus @WalrusProtocol
Walrus Explorer delivers verifiable analytics and monitoring tools for Walrus developers
Developers are building increasingly complex onchain applications, and they need visibility they can trust,” said Rebecca Simmonds, Managing Executive at Walrus Foundation. “Thanks to this collaboration with Space and Time, we are giving builders the ability to uplevel the management of their data with continuous verification and optimization.” “We’re excited to partner with Walrus to deliver a comprehensive suite of data tools for developers to build onchain,” said Scott Dykstra, CTO at Space and Time Foundation. Walrus provides the data storage layer and Space and Time provides the verifiable database for computing over and proving data. Together, we’re enabling a new generation of sophisticated, data-driven apps.” $WAL #walrus @WalrusProtocol
#walrus $WAL In addition to the Walrus Explorer, Space and Time, and Walrus are partnering to build a comprehensive solution for onchain builders. Space and Time’s ZK-verified query engine works in concert with the Walrus data layer to provide a powerful foundation for trustless, onchain data pipelines. Developers can store and manage large-scale data with Walrus while running verifiable queries, aggregations, and analytics through Space and Time, supporting use cases ranging from DeFi compliance to tokenized real-world asset tracking.$WAL
Walrus Explorer delivers verifiable analytics and monitoring tools for Walrus developers
Space and Time, the blockchain for ZK-proven data, has partnered with Walrus to launch the Walrus Explorer, a web-based dashboard that gives developers and operators real-time visibility into Walrus network activity, reliability, and performance. Powered by Space and Time’s Proof of SQL technology, the Walrus Explorer lets developers query and analyze network activity in a trustless way, providing a live, transparent view of the protocol’s health and performance. The Walrus Explorer allows users to inspect detailed data storage activity for individual blobs, including uploads, reads and writes, and availability checks. It also enables monitoring of network performance with metrics on operator behavior, shard distribution, and latency, while providing access to real-time analytics such as usage trends, node reliability, and protocol health. In short, the Walrus Explorer functions as a network operations center for Walrus, allowing developers and operators to verify and optimize their decentralized data infrastructure.$WAL #walrus @WalrusProtocol

$DUSK From Radical Transparency to Selective Disclosure This is where Dusk comes in. Our protocol is designed to bring privacy and compliance together through zero-knowledge proofs and a novel compliance framework.
Zero-Knowledge Compliance (ZKC): Participants can prove they meet regulatory requirements without exposing personal or transactional details. This enables AML/KYC compliance without sacrificing confidentiality.
Private Smart Contracts: Businesses can issue securities, settle trades, and manage corporate actions privately, while regulators still retain the ability to audit when required.
Selective Transparency: Market actors can decide who sees what, ensuring sensitive information is protected while compliance is maintained.
Privacy as a European Imperative Europe has taken a clear stance: privacy is not optional, it’s a right. The GDPR set the standard globally for data protection, and the upcoming MiCA regulation is laying the groundwork for digital assets within a regulated framework.
For European stock exchanges, brokers, and issuers, this means that a blockchain fit for purpose must align with both financial regulation and data protection law. A public, fully transparent chain simply does not meet this bar.
Dusk’s approach, embedding privacy by design while enabling regulatory oversight, is uniquely aligned with Europe’s financial and legal environment.@Dusk #dusk
For years, public blockchains have operated under the assumption that transparency must come at the cost of privacy. Every transaction is broadcasted, every wallet balance visible, and every participant left exposed. While this radical transparency has fueled innovation, it has also limited adoption by the very industries blockchain set out to transform: regulated financial institutions and capital markets.
At Dusk, we believe this trade-off is unnecessary. In fact, privacy is not the enemy of transparency—it is the enabler of compliance, efficiency, and trust.
Why Privacy Matters in Finance Unlike crypto-native communities, traditional financial markets are built on confidentiality. Companies do not want their competitors to see treasury movements. Investors should not have their entire portfolio and strategy made public with each settlement. Market makers cannot function if every bid and ask is permanently visible on-chain.
Without privacy, public blockchains inadvertently force businesses to reveal their competitive edge and investors to compromise security. This is unacceptable in regulated environments, where confidentiality is a prerequisite for participation.$DUSK #dusk @Dusk_Foundation
#dusk $DUSK About Dusk Dusk is the privacy blockchain for financial applications. A new standard for compliance, control, and collaboration. Our mission is to enable enterprises of any size to collaborate at scale, meet compliance requirements and ensure that personal and transaction data remains confidential.@Dusk
Easy access to Dusk In addition to the three areas that are receiving the most focus, the team is also focused on building out the broader Dusk ecosystem. We want it to be incredibly easy to access Dusk.
From bridging assets to Dusk to trading the token, the team is dedicated to building an ecosystem that is well-integrated, easy to access, and offers opportunities to everyone, from a small investor to big institutions.
We should see these advancements rolling out soon, beginning with DuskEVM, and being followed by dApps, STOX, and licenses.
With an interoperable blockchain, DeFi and TradFi dApps, institutional partners, and the right regulatory environment, Dusk will bring users new opportunities and greater access to financial participation. $DUSK #dusk @Dusk_Foundation
#dusk $DUSK This is the trading platform occupying the rest of the development team’s time. Complementary but distinct from our work with NPEX, the project-internally-known-as-STOX, will bring regulated assets on-chain and allow investors to trade.
It will be an iterative rollout, starting with a few carefully selected partners and assets, and expanding to more partners, more assets, and more investors.
This will not only give investors access to previously hard to access assets, it will also boost the Dusk TVL and encourage investors from all over, both TradFi and DeFi, big and small to trade on DuskEVM.
#dusk $DUSK DuskEVM is an EVM-compatible L2 built on top of DuskDS. Gas is paid in $DUSK, it settles on DuskDS, but it is also compatible with the broader EVM ecosystem, including tooling, wallets, and Solidity.
While the development team is busy building it, the business development team is busy building the ecosystem around it.
This means DuskEVM will not only be a new chain, it will bring an ecosystem of DEXes, lending/borrowing, and more, to ensure a thriving ecosystem.
While we do not expect everything to be deployed on Day 1 of DuskEVM, the BD team has been working diligently to onboard partners and dApps, as well as other RWA projects.
#dusk $DUSK Our trading platform: Code name STOX, this is our platform for trading regulated assets. Built on DuskEVM, it will offer access to money market funds, stocks, bonds, and more.
The DLT-TSS: This is the regulatory exemption we are applying for with our partners NPEX, that will give an easy route to on-chain native issuance.
Let’s look a bit deeper into what each piece means for Dusk, the community, and the overall vision$DUSK
