Editor's Note: The crypto market saw a resurgence after a 90-day tariff suspension, with a 25% increase in total market value. Intelligent interactions have significantly increased, indicating a growing interest in AI projects by users. Mode Trade launched a trading platform that integrates AI, perpetual contracts, and predictive data, utilizing LLM and synthetic data to innovate the trading experience. Additionally, projects like Bio Protocol are driving the integration of AI agents with open science through hackathons, while Virtuals Ventures are exploring on-chain monetization in the AI economy, showcasing the thriving integration of Web3 and AI.
The following is the original content (reorganized for ease of comprehension):
While the overall market still faces uncertainty, there has been some relief felt after the 90-day tariff suspension. The total market value has grown by approximately 25% compared to last week, but more interestingly, there has been a growth in intelligent interactions, rising from 3420 last week to over 8830 now, indicating an increasing number of users paying attention to AI projects, and we may be hitting a bottom.

As we mentioned in our version a few weeks ago, Mode was one of the first blockchains to fully embrace AI, ahead of the widespread trend. What's the latest?

@Punk9277 Talks Kaito and InfoFi:

InfoFi will unlock monetization for the masses and create entirely new market primitives. InfoFi is one of the most tangible and rapidly emerging crypto x AI apps, with strong backing behind it.
$PROMPT TGE is now live, and compared to traditional parallel stakers, yapper's counterpart makes old-school players feel bittersweet:

PROMPT claiming is now live, available on Mainnet and Base for claiming, with social tasks coming soon.
$TAO Subnet:

Some projects are not in the subnet's top ten, but have an extremely focused team, a working product, and a growing user base. The chart looks like an annual ROI of several hundred times.

What is Bittensor's $TAO—it's useful proof of work. It extends Bitcoin's principles but in a multi-dimensional way—through subnets: providing inference services, AI model training, predictions and trading signals, scientific research, AI-driven DeFi.
Jeff on TAO:

I am now convinced that the $TAO ecosystem may be the best/most integrated/most powerful PvE ecosystem at present. The $TAO price hits bottom, and the transaction price returns to Q4 2023 levels. dTAO brings interesting dynamics and value accumulation.
RedPill's Latest Update:

We have launched four powerful features: smart router, LLM credit exchange, confidential AI (GPU TEE model), new domain.

Mixin has launched USTD-margined perpetual contracts, bringing derivative trading into the chat scene.
The privacy-focused crypto wallet Mixin announced today the launch of its U-based perpetual contract (a derivative priced in USDT). Unlike traditional exchanges, Mixin has taken a new approach by "liberating" derivative trading from isolated matching engines and embedding it into the instant messaging environment.
Users can directly open positions within the app with leverage of up to 200x, while sharing positions, discussing strategies, and copy trading within private communities. Trading, social interaction, and asset management are integrated into the same interface.
Based on its non-custodial architecture, Mixin has eliminated friction from the traditional onboarding process, allowing users to participate in perpetual contract trading without identity verification.
The trading process has been streamlined into five steps:
· Choose the trading asset
· Select long or short
· Input position size and leverage
· Confirm order details
· Confirm and open the position
The interface provides real-time visualization of price, position, and profit and loss (PnL), allowing users to complete trades without switching between multiple modules.
Mixin has directly integrated social features into the derivative trading environment. Users can create private trading communities and interact around real-time positions:
· End-to-end encrypted private groups supporting up to 1024 members
· End-to-end encrypted voice communication
· One-click position sharing
· One-click trade copying
On the execution side, Mixin aggregates liquidity from multiple sources and accesses decentralized protocol and external market liquidity through a unified trading interface.
By combining social interaction with trade execution, Mixin enables users to collaborate, share, and execute trading strategies instantly within the same environment.
Mixin has also introduced a referral incentive system based on trading behavior:
· Users can join with an invite code
· Up to 60% of trading fees as referral rewards
· Incentive mechanism designed for long-term, sustainable earnings
This model aims to drive user-driven network expansion and organic growth.
Mixin's derivative transactions are built on top of its existing self-custody wallet infrastructure, with core features including:
· Separation of transaction account and asset storage
· User full control over assets
· Platform does not custody user funds
· Built-in privacy mechanisms to reduce data exposure
The system aims to strike a balance between transaction efficiency, asset security, and privacy protection.
Against the background of perpetual contracts becoming a mainstream trading tool, Mixin is exploring a different development direction by lowering barriers, enhancing social and privacy attributes.
The platform does not only view transactions as execution actions but positions them as a networked activity: transactions have social attributes, strategies can be shared, and relationships between individuals also become part of the financial system.
Mixin's design is based on a user-initiated, user-controlled model. The platform neither custodies assets nor executes transactions on behalf of users.
This model aligns with a statement issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 13, 2026, titled "Staff Statement on Whether Partial User Interface Used in Preparing Cryptocurrency Securities Transactions May Require Broker-Dealer Registration."
The statement indicates that, under the premise where transactions are entirely initiated and controlled by users, non-custodial service providers that offer neutral interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges.
Mixin is a decentralized, self-custodial privacy wallet designed to provide secure and efficient digital asset management services.
Its core capabilities include:
· Aggregation: integrating multi-chain assets and routing between different transaction paths to simplify user operations
· High liquidity access: connecting to various liquidity sources, including decentralized protocols and external markets
· Decentralization: achieving full user control over assets without relying on custodial intermediaries
· Privacy protection: safeguarding assets and data through MPC, CryptoNote, and end-to-end encrypted communication
Mixin has been in operation for over 8 years, supporting over 40 blockchains and more than 10,000 assets, with a global user base exceeding 10 million and an on-chain self-custodied asset scale of over $1 billion.
