You just finished charging at a shared charging station, and your phone pops up a message: According to blockchain records, the charging amount has been converted into tokens and deposited into your wallet. But you have a nagging feeling that something is off—the amount displayed on the charging station screen seems to be more than what you actually charged. This suspicion is not unfounded: when billions of physical devices start generating value through blockchain, how can we trust that the data uploaded by sensors is not a carefully crafted lie?
In 2025, DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) is reshaping the way people access resources. From shared charging networks to distributed computing markets, physical devices are becoming the new mining machines in the blockchain world. However, the core challenge that the industry must face is: how to prove the real work done in the physical world?

After working late into the night and returning home, a reminder popped up on my phone about the expiration of a bank investment. Upon checking, I found that the annualized yield was 0.2% lower than promised. You want to ask the account manager about the whereabouts of the funds, but they only reply, "The underlying assets are allocated in compliance with regulations." This feeling of being kept in the dark has made you question: Is so-called professional financial management just about relinquishing all rights to information and decision-making?
In the traditional financial world, we are accustomed to being "silent clients." But there is a group of people who are reconstructing the rules with code—such as Lorenzo's on-chain fund platform, which is trying to transform "passive holders" into "active participants."

The album contains videos of the child's first steps, work documents scattered across three different cloud drives, and aerial footage from last year's trip lost forever due to a certain cloud service shutting down. We have become accustomed to entrusting our memories to tech companies, yet often find ourselves realizing late at night: these bytes that carry important moments are actually as fragile as a sandcastle.
Until I encountered that cognitive-changing feature in the Kite wallet—it quietly weaved decentralized storage into daily operations, allowing me to touch another possibility of the digital world for the first time.
From renting a safe deposit box to mastering the treasure map

You look at the large amount of USDT or USDC in your wallet, and you know in your heart that they are safe, but also very quiet. In a bull market, they are like dormant assets, unable to share in the market's growth dividends; in pursuit of yield, you have to risk putting funds into high-volatility liquidity mining, always worried about impermanent loss and project risk. Do you long for an asset that has the 'safe haven' characteristics of dollar stability while also automatically generating solid returns? A truly 'living' cash that belongs to the crypto world?
This is exactly the question that Falcon Finance attempts to answer with its core product USDf. It is not just another simple bank deposit certificate, but a more advanced form of currency - the 'synthetic dollar.'

Have you encountered such a dilemma when trying to build a decentralized financial application based on the Bitcoin network: the contract code is already in place, users are waiting to enter, but the most critical price data cannot be securely verified on-chain. The Bitcoin network is like an indestructible vault, yet it lacks a window to the outside world. This predicament of data islands is a common bottleneck faced by countless developers expanding the BTC ecosystem today.
The Deterministic Dilemma of Blockchain and the Breakthrough of Oracles
Essentially, blockchain is a closed deterministic system. Each node operates under the same rules, ensuring that the entire network's state is consistent. However, when smart contracts need to call real-world information such as stock prices, weather data, or event results, discrepancies in data sources and transmission times can introduce uncertainty, directly threatening consensus security.

You may have become accustomed to this kind of trouble: investing funds into a financial protocol, yet knowing nothing about its actual operations. All you see are the yield numbers, while how the underlying assets are allocated, whether the risks are concentrated, and if the strategy is sustainable—all remain a black box. You don't really know what you've bought, and you can only choose to trust it or walk away.
Is there a possibility that financial management is no longer a 'leap of faith,' but rather a 'transparent co-construction'?

### Assemble your asset portfolio like LEGO
The emergence of Lorenzo has made this possibility a reality. It is not just another beautifully packaged closed product, but a completely transparent open architecture. All strategy parameters, asset distribution, and capital flows are fully traceable on-chain. Here, you are no longer just putting money in and waiting for results.

In front of the monitor late at night, you just finished debugging the third version of the trading bot. The sentiment analysis model's accuracy is stuck at 82%, and the market data interface suddenly updates, forcing you to stay up late to rewrite the adapter layer. At this moment, you suddenly realize: why does every feature have to reinvent the wheel from scratch? If there were an AI version of an App Store that could quickly assemble mature modules like building with Lego, perhaps the entire system could go live tomorrow.
This is exactly the disruptive scenario presented by the Kite testnet. Unlike traditional AI platforms, Kite does not care whether your model is built with PyTorch or TensorFlow, nor does it care how much GPU computing power you have invested. Its core proposition is incredibly simple: when a certain agent needs translation services, can it discover your agent within 0.1 seconds, complete the precise call, and automatically finish the micro-level settlement?

You just executed a large swap, but the market suddenly fluctuates wildly. Slippage warnings keep rising, and you stare at the screen, watching the transaction price deviate further from expectations— that feeling of losing control is like walking on a thin ice that could break at any moment.
For traders, market makers, and institutions frequently traversing different chains, this uncertainty has long been a part of daily life. Until they encountered Falcon.

Intelligent Routing: Not just about stacking blocks, but a self-evolving system.
Most aggregators merely stitch together external liquidity pools, essentially remaining 'porters'. In contrast, Falcon's self-developed intelligent routing system resembles a trading brain that learns.

You have stayed up several nights and finally completed a prototype of an AI agent based on smart contracts. It can autonomously execute data transactions on a decentralized network, and you excitedly prepare to deploy it online—only to suddenly discover that the target public chain does not support EVM. This means you need to rewrite all contract logic and even restructure the underlying architecture. At that moment, you realize you've hit an invisible wall: ecological fragmentation.
This is not an isolated phenomenon. Many AI projects face a dilemma when landing on the blockchain: choosing an independent public chain is like building a city on a wasteland, starting from scratch to develop developer tools and wallet support; choosing a Layer 2 solution can take advantage of the Ethereum ecosystem, but you have to accept the delays in network upgrades that depend on the parent chain. It wasn't until I saw KITE's solution that I realized a third path had long existed.

You open your wallet and look at those unchanging digital assets. Inflation is eroding the value of cash, and the yields from traditional investments are pitifully low. You yearn to find an outlet, a place where assets can truly 'come alive' and generate substantial returns. At this moment, a voice rings out—'Holding coins means making money,' with an annual return of 12%. The temptation is immense, but a voice deep within asks: What exactly is supporting this?
This is not just another stablecoin story.
The alchemical logic of collateral
Unlike traditional stablecoins like USDT, which rely on a 1:1 cash reserve, or the collapsed Terra that depended on algorithmic 'faith,' Falcon USDf proposes a middle ground called 'Universal Collateral.'

You are building a DeFi application based on the Bitcoin network, but you find yourself stuck at the most critical link: how to safely and efficiently obtain off-chain data? Whether it's instant transactions on the Lightning Network or emerging assets in the Ordinals ecosystem, the lack of reliable oracle services has caused many innovative ideas to remain at the conceptual stage. The uncertainty of data sources, limitations of network compatibility, and high costs of on-chain interactions act like invisible mountains, blocking the evolution of the Bitcoin ecosystem towards more complex application scenarios.
Focus on the underlying support of the Bitcoin ecosystem

The trading platform's candlestick chart still flickers in the middle of the night. You put down your hot phone and realize a problem: the Bitcoin you hold seems to be forever asleep, apart from its ups and downs. On the other hand, the high-yield strategies in the DeFi world are dazzling but require navigating complex technical operations and cross-chain asset risks. This sense of disconnection is the common dilemma faced by countless digital asset holders—assets are asleep in an isolated ecosystem while opportunities slip away before cumbersome thresholds.
Financial abstraction layer: When traditional financial wisdom meets the on-chain revolution
- Encapsulate complex financial logic such as custody and lending into standardized modules

In front of the screen late at night, you stare at the fluctuating K-line chart on the trading software, repeatedly modifying that automatic trading script that is always just a little off. What you need is not a more complex algorithm, but an AI team that can collaborate: one responsible for interpreting news sentiment, one for identifying technical patterns, and another for executing financial risk control. However, enabling different AI models to communicate efficiently and settle safely has become an insurmountable gap.
Redefining AI services: from training grounds to application markets
Traditional AI competitions focus on computing power arms races, while the picture presented by the Kite test network is entirely different—here, it doesn't matter whether the model is built with PyTorch or TensorFlow, nor does it care how many GPU hours were consumed during training. Its core proposition is: when a certain intelligent agent needs translation services, can it match with a provider in seconds, complete the call, and settle automatically? This idea of treating AI capabilities as plug-and-play modules has drastically lowered the participation threshold.

Late at night, the numbers dancing on the screen tug at every nerve. You watch as Ethena's yield curve turns downward again due to negative funding rates, and that familiar sense of powerlessness comes over you—must the fate of decentralized stablecoins ultimately be held hostage by the long and short sentiments of the contract market? In countless nights like this, we long for a source of income that is more solid and sustainable.
Falcon Finance ($FF ) provides an answer that may point to the ultimate fate of stablecoins. It chose not to engage in the crowded race, but rather quietly built a unique moat: the Hybrid Yield Engine.

You just deployed a DeFi strategy, but because of price lag, you were wiped out by a flash loan attack;
After your DAO votes to approve the proposal, you realize that the off-chain data on which the proposal was based has already been tampered with;
The blockchain game you play claims to be fair, but the drop of rare items is always concentrated on a few mysterious addresses.
In the code-is-law world of encryption, the quality of off-chain real data delivery is becoming an invisible battlefield that determines the life and death of projects.
Bidirectional-driven oracle ecosystem engine
In the bilateral market structure built by APRO Oracle, the source agent (Data Provider) is like the driller of a data oilfield:

In front of the computer screen late at night, you repeatedly compare the yield rates of various DeFi protocols. The APY of liquidity mining seems tempting, but impermanent loss and token inflation leave you hesitant. What you need is not another high-risk speculative target, but a value carrier that can continuously generate real income.
Dual protection of the yield mechanism
While traditional DeFi projects still rely on single liquidity mining, BANK has built a more comprehensive value capture system. Users holding veBANK will directly receive USDT dividends, meaning that even without trading operations, the holdings themselves can generate cash flow.

Late at night, you stare at the code on the screen, feeling powerless once again. The model you've spent weeks tuning is stuck at some bottleneck in precision. What’s even more anxiety-inducing is that the team next door has quickly integrated several external AI interfaces, creating a demonstration that is more flexible and practical than yours. You realize that you've fallen into a strange loop: tirelessly refining a single tool while forgetting the real need is to quickly and reliably 'combine' different capabilities to solve problems.
This is exactly what I wanted to talk about today: the underlying transformation brought by Kite. It doesn't care whether your model is written in PyTorch or TensorFlow, nor does it care how many GPU hours you've spent chasing that 1% accuracy improvement.

Have you ever faced the dilemma of wanting your assets to be as secure as stablecoins while also longing for high yields from the DeFi world? Traditional stablecoins are stable but do not generate interest, while liquidity mining offers high returns but comes with significant risks. This is a common pain point for many crypto users and institutional investors.
Falcon Finance's core product USDf, as a 'Synthetic Dollar', is attempting to solve this dilemma.
The essence beyond bank deposit certificates
USDf does not rely on fiat reserves in traditional bank accounts—thus avoiding regulatory risks similar to those of Silicon Valley Bank. Its value foundation lies in the on-chain Universal Collateral Infrastructure. In short, USDf is a 'digital hard currency' over-collateralized by a basket of high-quality assets (such as BTC, ETH, and RWA real-world assets) and anchored in value through a sophisticated Delta neutral strategy. It is a native form of currency in DeFi, combining the purchasing power of the US dollar with the censorship-resistant properties of crypto assets.

Late at night, you stare at the pulsating numbers on the screen, as various on-chain applications continuously refresh their data in the background. As a blockchain practitioner, you are well aware of the industry's long-standing issue of the 'island effect.' Although ecosystems like Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, and Cosmos are thriving, they remain disconnected from each other. The dilemma of cross-chain information transmission has always been a pain point in the industry's development.
You have tried using cross-chain bridges to solve the problem of asset transfers across chains, but you found that the transmission of information across chains is still fraught with difficulties. APRO Oracle is not satisfied with merely being an oracle for the Bitcoin ecosystem; its grand vision is to build a comprehensive (Omnichain) data interoperability layer.

Late-night research reports, complex proposal votes, confusing gas fee calculations… Have you ever felt that participating in DeFi governance is like wandering in a maze, clearly holding tokens, yet always feeling far from the real decision-making layer?
The emergence of BANK tokens in the design of the Lorenzo Protocol is precisely to break this sense of distance. It is not only the fuel of the ecosystem but also the voice of each participant.
Governance: From bystander to decision-maker
Holding BANK means you are no longer just an ordinary user of the protocol
You can directly participate in key decision-making votes
