Kite akan memanfaatkan infrastruktur penyimpanan terdesentralisasi Filecoin untuk mengarsipkan dataset pelatihan dengan aman dan mengintegrasikan IPFS sebagai bagian dari lapisan provenance yang kuat, memungkinkan integritas, jejak, dan kepatuhan data dalam pengembangan model.

Falcon Finance baru-baru ini diundang ke Twitter Space berbahasa Mandarin yang dipandu oleh Bitget Wallet CN, di mana Mitra kami Lingling Jiang, juga Mitra di DWF Labs, bergabung dengan tamu lainnya 猴叔 dan 杰克李 untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana dolar sintetis sedang berkembang dan apa yang diperlukan untuk memberikan hasil yang konsisten di lingkungan Web3.
Sesi ini memberikan pemahaman mendalam tentang bagaimana USDf bekerja, mengapa jaminan multi-aset itu penting, dan bagaimana pengguna sehari-hari dapat mulai menghasilkan dengan alat DeFi yang tidak memerlukan pengetahuan teknis yang mendalam.

Kite AI, a provider of decentralized AI infrastructure, has partnered with GAIB, the economic backbone for the future of AI and compute, to create a decentralized AI ecosystem where high-quality datasets, models, and compute resources are widely accessible, leveraging blockchain for secure, fair data indexing and creating a decentralized and liquid market for compute assets like GPUs.
The partnership aims to integrate blockchain for secure data sharing and build a financial ecosystem where stakeholders can monetize AI-related assets through DeFi tools like GPU-backed stable coins and lending markets. Through their collaboration, both are tackling issues plaguing GPU compute and data crucial to AI development that are typically controlled by large corporations, restricting access for smaller players and hindering industry innovation.
“In the AI era, compute is the new currency, and GPUs are the new assets driving this currency,” said Kony Kwong, Co-founder and CEO of GAIB. “Partnering with Kite AI allows us to dismantle barriers for people to access the marketplace, unlocking new financial opportunities of the AI industry for all.”
With the proof of Attributable Intelligence Layer, Kite AI will make high-quality data, models, and AI agents accessible to all. This collaboration will also further GAIB’s vision of creating liquid, yield-bearing assets based on real AI cash flows, ensuring that the resources required for AI innovation are both accessible and monetizable. GAIB’s economic framework, which turns traditionally illiquid AI resources into tokenized, tradable assets, will provide unprecedented financial opportunities for data and AI stakeholders globally.
“$KITE envision an AI landscape where innovation is driven by a diverse ecosystem of contributors, not monopolized by a few giants,” said Chi Zhang, Co-founder and CEO of Kite AI. “Our partnership with GAIB is a critical step toward that goal. Together, we’re building a decentralized, democratic, and trustless AI economy.”
This partnership is set to push the AI economy to its next iteration, democratizing AI innovation, and creating fair financial opportunities for stakeholders worldwide, ensuring that the benefits of AI are accessible and equitable. Together, Kite AI and GAIB are building the foundation for a future where AI innovation goes above centralized control, unlocking potential for all industry actors.

Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner at Falcon Finance, recently joined Cryptic Talks for a wide-ranging AMA focused on Falcon's architecture, market role, and roadmap. The conversation unpacked the mechanics behind USDf, Falcon's overcollateralized stable asset, and how it positions itself as a fixed-income layer in the crypto ecosystem.
Falcon's Mission: Fixed Income Infrastructure for DeFi
Andrei described Falcon as a yield-generating, overcollateralized synthetic dollar protocol designed to serve as an on-chain buffer between volatile crypto assets and dollar stability. Rather than competing with fiat-backed stablecoins like USDT or USDC, USDf is built to complement them—offering a productive, yield-bearing option for users exiting volatile positions without moving immediately into cash.
"USDf is a proxy between volatility and cash," Andrei said. "You can hold it when you want stability, but still earn real, sustainable yield."
Overcollateralization as a Trust Anchor
With global stablecoin regulations tightening, overcollateralization is central to Falcon's approach. USDf is backed by a mix of stablecoins and other crypto assets that are hedged through delta-neutral strategies. The protocol has already started in their process of obtaining an external audit through ht.digital, meeting CC-compliant standards for transparency and reserve validation.
A Multi-Pronged Yield Strategy
Andrei detailed how Falcon's yield model avoids over-reliance on any single strategy:
Arbitrage across spot and perp markets (CeFi and DeFi)Delta-neutral staking of altcoinsOTC and primary market execution for enhanced spot sourcing
These strategies produce consistent, delta-neutral returns that are passed on to USDf stakers.
Half a Billion in Circulation, Audited Reserves, and Scalable Liquidity
Since launch, USDf supply has exceeded $500 million, fueled by rising demand and expanding DeFi integrations. Grachev highlighted that the protocol’s architecture and Falcon’s yield engine are designed to scale efficiently with institutional adoption, supporting strategies that can handle multi-billion dollar volumes.
Strategic Vision: Real-World Assets and Banking Integration
Looking ahead, Falcon is deepening work with traditional finance, including lending against crypto collateral and integrating with RWA tokenization platforms. Partnerships with banks are in progress to support fiat on-ramps for national currencies like ARS, BRL, and TRY.
Not Competing, But Complementing Stablecoin Giants
"We are not here to compete with USDT or USDC," Andrei stated. "They serve a different role. USDf is here for users and institutions that want their dollar exposure to work harder—without losing clarity or control."
Finally, the AMA made clear that Falcon is not chasing volatility but engineering sustainable value. Through transparency, rigorous risk management, and protocol-level yield design, Falcon Finance is laying the groundwork for a new generation of digital dollars.

Ini adalah sekilas tentang apa yang telah kami bangun, luncurkan, dan pelajari, dan ke mana kami akan menuju selanjutnya.
USDf & Pembaruan Produk
Dua bulan yang lalu, Falcon Finance dibuka untuk publik, memudahkan siapa saja untuk mencetak dan menukarkan USDf. Setiap pengguna dapat dengan mudah memperoleh USDf dari DEX besar dan mempertaruhkan USDf untuk mendapatkan hasil yang kompetitif dengan sUSDf.

Ikhtisar Struktur Pasar
Pada kerangka waktu 4 jam, KITE berada dalam fase korektif yang lebih luas setelah pergerakan kuat sebelumnya. Harga telah menghormati struktur yang menurun, tetapi yang penting, tekanan jual telah melambat dibandingkan dengan penurunan sebelumnya. Ini memberi tahu kita bahwa pasar tidak lagi dalam mode panik — ia sedang bertransisi ke stabilisasi.
Candle-candle terbaru menunjukkan badan yang lebih kecil dan volatilitas yang terkompresi, yang biasanya muncul ketika penjual mulai lelah dan pembeli perlahan-lahan masuk.

1. Tokenisasi Sendiri Tidak Cukup
Selama 18 bulan terakhir, aset dunia nyata yang ter-tokenisasi (RWA) telah berkembang dari eksperimen niche menjadi segmen pasar crypto senilai $24 miliar. Adopsi institusional, kejelasan regulasi, dan infrastruktur yang matang telah membuatnya secara teknis dan hukum mungkin untuk membawa berbagai macam instrumen tradisional ke dalam blockchain.
Banyak dari upaya ini telah menghasilkan kemajuan yang berarti. Dengan membantu manajer aset untuk mendigitalkan akses, memperluas distribusi, dan menyederhanakan operasi dana, tokenisasi telah menciptakan nilai nyata - terutama di sisi penerbit. Tetapi membangun token bukanlah bagian yang sulit. Tantangan sebenarnya adalah komposabilitas.

Avalanche menyediakan fondasi yang dapat diskalakan dan transparan untuk aplikasi AI, yang dapat memperkuat adopsi AI institusional.
Jaringan Avalanche memperkenalkan blockchain tingkat institusi pertama yang berfokus pada kecerdasan buatan.
Testnet yang berfokus pada AI, yang dikembangkan oleh penyedia infrastruktur AI terdesentralisasi Kite AI, bertujuan untuk meningkatkan skalabilitas dan pemrosesan data sambil menyediakan koordinasi terpusat untuk alur kerja AI, termasuk penyedia data, pembangun model, dan agen otonom, menurut pengumuman yang dibagikan.

 Falcon Finance is now using Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and the Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard to make USDf natively transferable across supported blockchains. Falcon has adopted Chainlink Proof of Reserve to enhance its transparency by verifying that USDf remains fully overcollateralized.
We selected Chainlink as our interoperability solution because CCTs enable self-serve deployments, full control and ownership for developers, enhanced programmability, and zero-slippage transfers—all backed by CCIP’s defense-in-depth security, with it being the only interoperability solution achieving level-5 cross-chain security.
Chainlink CCIP is a highly secure and reliable interoperability standard trusted across the industry.
Built on the same Chainlink DON infrastructure that has secured over $75 billion in DeFi TVL and enabled $22 trillion in onchain value since 2022, CCIP offers:
Defense-in-depth security at both the protocol and execution layers.Secure Token Transfers that are logic-agnostic and require no changes to token contracts.Programmable Token Transfers for cross-chain execution with instructions embedded.A future-proof framework designed to support new chains, assets, and evolving security standards.
By adopting Chainlink Proof of Reserve, Falcon Finance enables real-time, automated audits of USDf’s collateral, providing strong protection against offchain fraud and fractional reserve risks.
“Adopting the Chainlink standard is a major step forward for Falcon Finance,” said Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner. “CCIP expands USDf’s reach across chains, while Proof of Reserve brings the transparency needed to build trust and scale adoption.”
“We’re pleased to see Falcon Finance using the Chainlink interoperability and verifiable data standards to power its stablecoin protocol,” said Jordan Calinoff, Head of Stablecoins and RWA at Chainlink Labs. “Connecting Falcon Finance to Chainlink’s wider ecosystem will help accelerate the adoption of USDf across the onchain economy.”
