Non-custodial crypto wallet SafePal has joined hands with decentralised lending network Morpho to improve access to risk-adjusted stablecoin yield and enhanced security for self-custody users.

The novel initiative comprises two parts. The first is the native integration of Morpho Vaults with the latest SafePal V4.10.6 app update.

This move, the press release says, will enable seamless access to yield on certain stablecoins through the SafePal Earn yield aggregator. Specifically, this is USDC and USDT stablecoins from Morpho on Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum networks.

— SafePal – Crypto Wallet (@SafePal) January 8, 2026 Moreover, decentralised finance (DeFi) firms Steakhouse and Gauntlet curate these integrated Morpho Vaults. Therefore, “depositors to earn risk-adjusted yield from borrowers with blue-chip and highly liquid assets as collateral,” the announcement claims.

According to Paul Frambot, CEO and co-founder of Morpho, “stablecoins don’t need to sit idle, even in self-custody. Integrating Morpho Vaults into SafePal brings open, on-chain lending infrastructure directly to SafePal users, enabling them to earn yield while remaining fully non-custodial, on-chain, and transparent.”

The Walletdrop CampaignThe second part of the initiative is the launch of a Walletdrop campaign. Users who make deposits in the Morpho USDT and USDC vaults offered within SafePal Earn will have a chance to get one of the 500 co-branded hardware wallets, the team says.

The goal of this offer is to strengthen user security and encourage long-term self-custody, the partners note.

Morpho x SafePal Limited Edition Walletdrop The exclusive collection is based on the SafePal X1, the wallet suite’s latest open-source and Bluetooth model.

Planned “activation perks” include boosted yield opportunities on Morpho Vaults within SafePal, the announcement says.

Speaking of which, the SafePal wallet suite recently completed the full transition for its hardware wallet line from EAL5+ to EAL6+ security chipsets. The team also upgraded the SafePal Earn aggregator. The aim was to enhance both security and access to reliable yield options and providers.

‘Significant Risks from Opaque Structures’Boosting security is a must, the press release indicates.

“Unfortunate incidents like the recent $36M Upbit hack highlight that cold storage usage remains far below where it should be,” said Veronica Wong, CEO and Co-founder of SafePal. “The Morpho Walletdrop aims to grow hardware wallet usage while maximising security, which should be extremely synergistic, especially for long-term and passive strategies like stablecoin staking.”

Moreover, the team highlighted significant market volatility and the rising user concerns stemming from the $93 million collapse of Stream Finance, as well as the depeg of its XUSD stablecoin.

“The XUSD depeg and aftermath highlighted how opaque, off-chain yield structures can introduce significant counterparty and systemic risk,” Wong argued.

Meanwhile, SafePal is a non-custodial crypto wallet suite with 25 million users across 200 blockchains and across its hardware, software, and browser extension wallet solutions, its team says. Founded in 2018, SafePal is backed by Animoca Brands, Binance, and Superscrypt.

Moreover, Morpho is a universal lending network with $10 billion in deposits, it says. It allows businesses to connect to its open infrastructure to power any lending or borrowing use case at scale.

Today, SafePal, a multi-chain, non-custodial crypto wallet that supports multiple crypto assets across different blockchains, identified top crypto tokens with excellent trading performance on its trading platform over the past week. SafePal, powered by its native SFP token, functions as a non-custodial wallet ecosystem that allows people to securely store, trade, manage, and grow crypto assets, with the capability to move tokens across various blockchains.

SafePal’s move to list top-performing cryptocurrencies on its well-recognized wallet shows which tokens are gaining traction among users and are worth investing in for those who are looking for trending crypto assets. The analysis is based on how the winners performed in the past and pointed out factors such as real use cases, rising user interest, and others.

Top Crypto Gainers According to SafePal KAITO (KAITO) The analyst identified Kaito (KAITO) as the crypto asset that recorded the highest trading volumes and capital inflows over the past week on its wallet, an indicator of heightened investor interest in the cryptocurrency. However, the surge in trading volume and money influxes into the wallet has not so far been reflected in the asset’s price movement. KAITO’s price, which currently hovers at $0.5346, has been down 2.1% and 5.0% in the last 24 hours and past week, respectively.

Lighter (LIT) Moving down, Lighter (LIT) is singled out as the digital asset that experienced the second-highest trading volume on SafePal’s trading platform. This means that crypto users are significantly engaging with the token in the wallet. Of late, Lighter (LIT) coin has been witnessing increasing popularity among investors due to positive sentiment that crypto has a strong capability to give out the best returns. LIT’s price, which currently trades at $1.91, has been down 31.1% due to increased selling pressure. It is a relatively new token, which started trading last month; its traction is based on robust optimism in its future growth.

Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) Pudgy Penguins (PENGU)’s remarkable trading volume noticed on the SafePal wallet over the past week makes it third on this list. PENGU has been registering a significant surge in trading activity in the wallet, an indicator of sign of life in the cryptocurrency. PENGU’s price has been up 1.4% and 30.9% over the past week and month, respectively, a reflection that the token is drawing the attention of both retail and institutional investors.

Ondo (ONDO) Ondo (ONDO)’s trading activity on SafePal has been substantially high in the wallet over the week, indicating investors are massively accumulating the token in the trading platform. Driven by its strong role in the tokenized assets and DeFi sector, ONDO is attracting institutional and retail interest, assisting it stand out in the competitive crypto market.

Zebec Network (ZBCN) Fifth on the list is Zebec Network (ZBCN), which is also displaying notable bullish momentum, outperforming its weekly averages on the SafePal trading platform. Zebec Network, a major player in the RWA and streaming payment sectors, started experiencing heightened trading volume at the beginning of the year. ZBCN’s price, which currently stands at $0.003225, has been up 7.8%, 33.9%, and 265.3% over the past week, month, and year, respectively, showing its market popularity.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) Last on the list is Hyperliquid (HYPE), another cryptocurrency that attracted outstanding user interest in the SafePal wallet in the last seven days. The significant uptick in HYPE’s trading volume in the wallet appears to be catalyzed by notable investor activity on the trading platform. HYPE’s price has been up 3.7% and 4.5% over the past week and month, respectively, supported by rising interest from investors and speculative demand.

Dear SafePal Community,

Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of the SafePal Solana Builders Grant, a $3 million initiative designed to help Solana ecosystem projects and builders scale sustainably throughout 2026. 

Since 2021, SafePal has integrated the Solana network and supported the ecosystem by supporting and implementing important features for users. Recent and existing features include:

-A dedicated Solana DeFi hub in SafePal’s mobile and hardware wallets
-Native support to buy, swap, trade, and stake $SOL and SPL tokens
-Access to emerging verticals such as tokenized stocks and other trending on-chain assets

While user needs and security has always been a key priority for SafePal, long-term and meaningful Web3 growth also comes from empowering other builders with the right tools to better serve users. The success of pilot Walletdrop campaigns with DeFi protocols such as Jumper Exchange, 1inch, and Morpho have proven that growth strategies focused on ownership, security, and real users outperform hype-driven approaches, serving as a strong impetus for the creation of a larger scale initiative and launch of the grant.

The grant program will run across the full year of 2026 and consists of:

1. $2 million worth of SafePal hardware wallet sponsorships: a meaningful and effective growth mechanism: As the crypto industry matures, more innovative projects are emerging especially on high-activity ecosystems like Solana. However, teams still struggle with sustainable and relevant user growth.

Token airdrops are widely used, but they often create short-lived momentum, attract mercenary users and bots, and sometimes divert focus away from long-term product value and finding actual product market fit. 

Hardware Walletdrops offer a different path, offering stronger user retention, higher-quality engagement, and significantly less bot abuse.

2. $1 million in marketing and growth resources to help projects reach, onboard, and engage 30 million crypto native users While initiatives like InfoFi have emerged to offer channels for projects to build rich and engaging users, the accuracy, effectiveness and sustainability remain inconsistent. Projects and builders still need cost-efficient, high-impact growth tools that deliver meaningful and relevant results.

This section of the grant will offer resources to boost user retention and brand image, such as premium listings in the SafePal Dapp center and homepage, the opportunity to collaborate and create in-depth customized tasks to drive actual product usage and track conversions, filtering relevant users by whitelisting based on asset and behavior to combat bot farmers and more.

Solana ecosystem projects can apply for the grant via the official SafePal website here.

Applications will be evaluated based on criteria such as the length of time the project has been live, monthly active users (MAU), total value locked (TVL), community size and engagement, ecosystem contributions (e.g. hackathons, workshops, developer events), and more.

Commemorating the grant launch: Limited-Edition Solana x SafePal Hardware Wallets To commemorate the launch of the grant, SafePal has produced 1,500 limited-edition Solana branded hardware wallets. These wallets will be distributed during Solana Accelerate APAC to event attendees, VIPs and core contributors, and also via selected bounty and community programs thereafter.

SafePal will also be exploring future potential additional utilities for these wallets, including staking benefits and airdrop boosts for this exclusive collection and for wallets distributed through the grant program.

Looking ahead, SafePal will continue supporting the Solana ecosystem together with other blockchain ecosystems and crypto protocols as part of our roadmap to evolve into a comprehensive DeFi and CeFi hub while staying true to our mission of secure, user-first self-custody.

About SafePal: Founded in 2018, SafePal is a next generation non-custodial crypto wallet suite backed by Animoca Brands, Binance and Superscrypt. The suite empowers access to decentralized and centralized finance on 200+ blockchains across its hardware, software, and browser extension wallet solutions.

Encompassing a diverse mix of crypto asset management solutions like cross-chain swapping, trading and yielding tools, centralized exchange (CEX) mini programs, a banking gateway and Mastercard for users — SafePal serves 30 million users globally across 200+ regions and countries in 16 languages.

SFP is a decentralized BEP-20 and ERC-20 token fuelling the SafePal ecosystem with various utilities such as discounts on SafePal products, staking boost and airdrop rewards, seamless conversion to gas tokens, and more.

Kingstown, St. Vincent and Grenadines, March 17th, 2026, FinanceWire

Changelly, a leading instant crypto exchange, and SafePal, a next-generation non-custodial crypto wallet manufacturer, are joining forces to help users strengthen the security of their funds while keeping everyday crypto swaps fast and simple. Bringing together Changelly’s instant exchange infrastructure and SafePal’s cold storage expertise, the initiative introduces a limited-edition collection of SafePal S1 hardware wallets to the Changelly community.

According to a recent Changelly survey, over 52% of users prioritize strong asset protection and full control over their funds when choosing a crypto wallet. At the same time, convenience and ease of use remain key factors.

In response to these insights and as part of the collaboration, the companies are introducing a co-branded Limited Edition hardware wallet that integrates Changelly’s seamless swap experience with SafePal’s self-custody infrastructure.

250 Limited-run hardware wallets released exclusively for the Changelly App users

The co-branded Limited Edition SafePal S1 features a design created specifically for the Changelly partnership and is unavailable through standard retail channels. Starting from March 17, any user who swaps in the Changelly mobile app can participate in daily raffles, where 10 Limited Edition SafePal S1 wallets are awarded every 24 hours throughout the campaign period.

Compact and lightweight—roughly the size of a credit card—the SafePal x Changelly hardware wallet provides direct access to Changelly’s favorable rates for crypto-to-crypto swaps. The device stores private keys fully offline and uses QR-code-based transaction signing through an integrated camera to maintain safe transaction authorization. The wallet supports multiple blockchain networks, allowing users to manage 1,000+ cryptocurrencies through a connected mobile app.

Changelly App giveaway campaign

All registered and logged-in users are eligible for the giveaway—they just need to confirm their participation with a click on the in-app main page banner. Any crypto-to-crypto transaction with a value of $50 or higher made through the app enters the 24-hour raffle after confirmation of participation.

To participate in the campaign and get one of the Limited Edition hardware wallets, users need to download the Changelly mobile app via the App Store or Google Play, register or log in to their account, and confirm participation on the dedicated campaign screen. After that, completing a crypto-to-crypto swap of $50 or more automatically enters the user into the daily raffle. Participants can follow in-app updates and check their email to see whether they have been selected as a winner.

Users can increase their chances by completing additional qualifying swaps and entering the raffle on multiple days during the campaign period. Additional entries may also be earned by sharing campaign information on social media.

Full campaign terms & conditions are available here.

A partnership focused on strengthening self-custody

This collaboration comes amid a broader market shift toward self-custody following recent market cycles that reinforced the importance of asset control and counterparty risk awareness. Demand is increasingly focused on solutions that combine secure private key ownership with seamless access to liquidity—positioning infrastructure partnerships like Changelly and SafePal at the center of this trend.

With over 10 years of experience, Changelly is trusted by millions of crypto users across the globe.

Preview: The U.S. May core PCE data will be released at 20:30 tonight, and is projected to hit its highest level since October 2023.

The Fed’s key inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, will be released at 20:30 tonight, with markets expecting a sharp rise in May inflation that could reignite rate hike bets. The headline PCE year-over-year growth rate is projected to hit 4.1% in May, up from 3.8% in April and marking its highest level since 2023. Core PCE, which excludes food and energy, is forecast to rise to 3.4% year-over-year, up from 3.3% in April and its highest reading since October 2023. Core PCE has remained above the Fed’s 2% inflation target since 2021. The recent short-term inflation uptick was driven mainly by surging gasoline prices amid the Iran conflict in May. Oil prices have since edged lower following the signing of a peace deal between the U.S. and Iran, but core inflation has strengthened in tandem, indicating that price pressures are not solely tied to geopolitical oil shocks. Data from the CME FedWatch Tool shows that as of Wednesday, markets are pricing in a 34% probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in July. Aditya Bhave, U.S. economist at Bank of America Securities, noted that the recent inflation rebound stems in part from tariffs and one-off disruptions, but successive supply shocks have eroded the Fed’s patience, while deflationary room in the housing sector has largely been exhausted. Data shows that core PCE dipped to 2.6% in April, its lowest level since 2022, but annualized core PCE growth over the past three and six months has hovered near 3.8%.

The "Retail vs. Wall Street" concept-linked token WEN continues its strong run, rising over 18% in after-hours trading.

According to Bitget market data, Wendy's (WEN) rallied 25.66% in the regular trading session, then climbed an extra 18.96% in after-hours trading, now changing hands at $9.35. Earlier reports noted that Serenity took to Twitter to mock the latest meme stock movement unfolding on Reddit's high-risk trading communities, targeting U.S. fast-food chain Wendy's. The Reddit community's meme warning reads: "If Wendy's goes bankrupt, we'll all be out of jobs, and after losing all our trading money, we'll have to work behind Wendy's trash cans." Serenity later clarified that they hold no positions, only found the activity amusing, and added they were unsure if the campaign would succeed. Wendy's holds a special cultural status on Reddit's WallStreetBets community; for years, "working behind Wendy's trash cans" has been a staple joke among retail investors mocking their trading losses.

Danske Bank: Federal Reserve may raise interest rates at least twice

Danske Bank senior analyst Kirstine Kundby-Nielsen and chief analyst Jens Peter Sorensen stated in a report that they expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates twice, in December 2026 and March 2027 respectively, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.00%-4.25%. "However, we emphasize there is a risk that rate hikes could come earlier and that the number of hikes may exceed two," they said. The first Federal Reserve meeting led by Kevin Warsh sent a clear signal that the Fed is increasingly moving away from forward guidance surrounding future monetary policy decisions. "All signs indicate that (the Fed) is leaning toward having greater discretion in future policy decisions," the Danske Bank analysts added. Source: Jin10

The entire cryptocurrency market is down across the board; funding rates indicate BTC remains in bearish territory, while ETH’s bullish sentiment is significantly stronger than BTC’s.

According to HTX market data, Bitcoin is currently trading at $61,684.51, down 1.88% in the past 24 hours; Ethereum is at $1,647.36, down 1.48% over the same period. Current funding rates on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) show a clear divergence between BTC and ETH: BTC rates across all platforms have fallen back into bearish territory, while ETH rates on most platforms remain above the neutral range, indicating significantly stronger bullish sentiment for ETH than BTC. BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain the balance between contract prices and underlying asset prices, typically applicable to perpetual contracts. They serve as a fund exchange mechanism between long and short traders; platforms do not collect these fees, instead using them to adjust the cost or return of traders holding contracts, so that contract prices stay close to the underlying asset prices. A funding rate of 0.01% is the benchmark. A rate above 0.01% indicates broad bullish market sentiment, while a rate below 0.005% signals widespread bearish sentiment.

SafePal integrates XYSwap to bring native, non-custodial TRX staking to mobile and hardware wallet. Earn up to ~10% APY from TRON energy rental and SR rewards. SafePal is thrilled to announce its official integration with XYSwap, a cross-chain liquidity aggregator, bringing native TRX staking directly to the SafePal wallet ecosystem. Through this integration, non-custodial TRX staking on SafePal is now live on both the SafePal mobile app and the SafePal S1 and X1 hardware wallet line.

Stake TRX and earn up to ~10% APY on TRX holdings, with no lock-up periods, no third-party dApps, and full non-custodial control over their assets.

The TRX staking product is built on TRON Stake 2.0, the TRON blockchain's native staking protocol. Yield compounds automatically on every interaction, you can add to your stake at any time (minimum of 1 TRX per deposit), and submit an unstaking request (with a 15 day withdrawal queue).

Whether you use the SafePal app on iOS or Android, or manage assets through the SafePal S1 and X1 hardware wallet line, the full TRX staking experience is available to you in one place. To get started, download/update the SafePal mobile app and follow the staking guide.

What Is TRX? TRON’s Native Cryptocurrency Explained TRX is the native cryptocurrency of the TRON blockchain (one of the most widely used blockchains in the world). Launched in 2017 by the TRON Foundation, TRX powers the full range of activity on the TRON network: from paying transaction fees and accessing decentralised applications (dApps) to participating in network governance and earning staking rewards.

The TRON blockchain was designed for high-throughput, low-cost digital content and financial transactions. It is best known today as the dominant network for USDT-TRC20 and one of the widely transferred stablecoins in the world. Every USDT-TRC20 transfer, every DeFi interaction, and every smart contract call on TRON consumes Energy, which is generated by staking TRX. 

What Is TRX Used For? TRX has several core use cases within the TRON ecosystem:

Transaction fees: TRX is the gas token of the TRON network. Users who do not stake TRX to generate free Energy or Bandwidth burn TRX directly to pay for transactions.Governance: TRX holders can stake their tokens to receive votes, which are used to elect TRON’s 27 Super Representatives (SR) and the validator nodes that produce blocks and govern the network.Staking rewards: By staking TRX under TRON Stake 2.0, holders earn a share of block rewards distributed by Super Representatives, plus income from renting out the Energy their staked TRX generates.DeFi and dApps: TRX is the primary currency across TRON’s DeFi ecosystem, including lending protocols, decentralised exchanges, and yield products.USDT-TRC20 infrastructure: Because every USDT-TRC20 transfer consumes TRON Energy, the TRX staking and energy rental economy is directly underpinned by stablecoin demand on the network. TRX and staking: Staking TRX is one of the most direct ways to put TRX to work and earn TRX rewards. Rather than holding TRX passively, stakers contribute Energy and voting power to the TRON network and earn compounding yield in return. The TRX staking product makes this accessible without leaving your SafePal wallet.

What Is TRX Staking? TRX staking is the process of pledging your TRX tokens on the TRON blockchain to earn rewards. Under TRON Stake 2.0 (TRON's current staking protocol), staked TRX generates two types of yield: income from TRON Super Representative (SR) voting rewards, and income from renting out the Energy your staked TRX generates.

SafePal's TRX staking is a flexible staking product, meaning there is no mandatory lock-up period for depositing funds. You can top up your stake at any time and submit an unstaking request whenever you choose, with the only waiting period being the 15-day unstaking cooldown (14 days enforced by the TRON Stake 2.0 protocol itself with an additional 1 day buffer).

Once you submit an unstaking request, it cannot be cancelled.

TRX Staking APY: ~10% and How Compound Rewards Are Calculated SafePal's TRX staking currently offers an estimated ~10% annual percentage yield (APY). This is a floating TRX staking APY and moves with real-time supply and demand in the TRON energy rental market and with Super Representative voting reward rates. It is not a fixed or guaranteed return.

How TRX Staking Rewards Compound SafePal's TRX staking uses compound interest. Each time you interact with the staking contract (i.e. deposit, top up, or unstake), the protocol recalculates your accumulated TRX staking rewards up to that point and folds them into your principal. This means your TRX rewards automatically earn further rewards, with no manual reinvestment required.

When you top up your TRX stake: the additional TRX begins earning from the moment of deposit and joins the compound calculation alongside your existing balance.When you submit an unstaking request: that portion of your staked TRX stops earning rewards upon commencement of the 15-day waiting period. Interest stops only once you complete the withdrawal. Example: 1,000 TRX staked at ~10% APY grows to approximately 1,100 TRX after one year through compounding alone with no manual action needed. The more often you interact with the contract, the more precisely your TRX staking rewards compound.

TRX Staking Yield Sources: TRON SR Rewards and Energy Rental Income The TRX staking yield distributed by SafePal comes from two distinct income streams, both rooted in genuine TRON network activity.

Source 1: TRON Super Representative Voting Rewards Staking TRX under TRON Stake 2.0 generates voting power on the TRON blockchain. SafePal uses this accumulated voting power to vote for TRON Super Representatives (SRs), which are the elected validators who produce blocks and govern the TRON network. In return for votes, SRs distribute a share of their block rewards back to voters in TRX. These SR voting rewards form one component of the TRX staking yield SafePal distributes to stakers.

Source 2: TRON Energy Rental Income Staked TRX also generates TRON Energy (the resource consumed by every smart contract interaction on the TRON blockchain, including USDT-TRC20 transfers). Rather than burning TRX to cover energy costs themselves, many TRON users and protocols rent energy from a pool. The staked TRX via the XYSwap integration contributes to this rental pool, and renters pay TRX to access the Energy. That TRON energy rental income forms the second component of the TRX staking yield returned to stakers.

Energy rental demand is structurally high because TRON processes a high volume of USDT-TRC20 transactions, creating consistent, around-the-clock demand for rented Energy from traders, remittance users, DeFi protocols, and exchanges.

How TRX staking yield flows: Your staked TRX generates voting power (SR rewards) + Energy (rental income). Both income streams are pooled and distributed back to you as compounding TRX staking rewards (~10% APY).

Yield-only product: TRX staking through the XYSwap integration is yield-only. The Energy, Bandwidth, and voting power generated by TRON Stake 2.0 are used internally to produce the TRX yield and are not passed to stakers as individual on-chain rights or resources.

SafePal x XYSwap Native TRX Staking: Mobile App and S1/X1 Hardware Wallet The new TRX staking integration for XYSwap and is available on both the SafePal mobile app and hardware wallet line. This removes the inconvenience of navigating to an external dApp and trusting an unfamiliar contract, removing unnecessary friction and risk.

The entire TRX staking cycle of depositing, topping up, monitoring rewards, unstaking, and withdrawing is managed inside SafePal mobile app interface without the need for external browsers and copy-pasting of contract addresses. The experience is equally smooth whether you're using SafePal on your phone or signing transactions with SafePal S1 or X1 hardware wallets

TRX Staking on the SafePal Mobile App The SafePal mobile app brings TRX staking with a purpose-built staking interface.

TRX Staking with the SafePal Hardware Wallet Line TRX staking is fully supported on the SafePal S1 and X1 hardware wallet lines, making it one of the few ways to stake TRX with a hardware wallet without relying on a centralized platform or browser extension.

For every TRX staking or unstaking transaction initiated through the SafePal app for a hardware wallet address, physical confirmation is required on the device. This means even if your connected phone is compromised, no staking action can execute without you pressing a button on the hardware wallet. 

For users who hold significant TRX and want the highest possible security standard, this is the recommended way to stake. Your private keys never leave the device and remain offline and encrypted in the secure element chipset in the hardware wallets..

How to Unstake TRX on SafePal: The 15-Day Process Explained Unstaking TRX on SafePal follows TRON Stake 2.0 rules, which divide the unstaking process into two sequential stages. Understanding this before you stake TRX is important.

Stage 1: Submit Your TRX Unstaking Request You can submit a TRX unstaking request at any time from within the SafePal app. The minimum unstaking amount is 1 TRX.

Important: Unstaking cannot be cancelled once executed. Once a TRX unstaking request is submitted, it cannot be reversed. This is a TRON Stake 2.0 protocol constraint, not a SafePal restriction. Confirm you are ready before proceeding.

Stage 2: 15-Day Waiting Period and Withdrawal After submitting, your TRX unstaking enters a mandatory 15-day waiting period. This applies across the TRON network to all stakers, regardless of wallet or platform.

Your TRX will cease to compound staking interest upong commencement of the15-day waiting period. The unstaking cannot be cancelled , and stakers will be able to claim completion of the 15 day waiting period. Your TRX (original principal plus all accumulated staking rewards) returns to your SafePal wallet balance.

Frequently Asked Questions What is TRX? TRX is the native cryptocurrency of the TRON blockchain. It is used to pay for TRON transactions, vote for Super Representatives in TRON governance, access DeFi applications, and generate Energy and Bandwidth resources through staking. 

TRX is also the token underlying USDT-TRC20 infrastructure. As every USDT transfer on TRON consumes Energy, demand for TRX staking is structurally tied to stablecoin activity on the network.

What is TRON Stake 2.0? TRON Stake 2.0 is the current staking mechanism on the TRON blockchain. It allows TRX holders to lock their tokens to generate TRON Energy and Bandwidth resources, earn voting power to elect Super Representatives, and receive staking rewards. SafePal's TRX staking product is built on TRON Stake 2.0.

How do I stake TRX on the SafePal mobile app? Open the SafePal mobile app on iOS or Android, navigate to the wallet tab at the bottom, followed by the Earn tab on top, and select the TRX staking option and enter your amount (minimum 1 TRX), and confirm.

TRX staking rewards begin compounding immediately. The full process takes under two minutes.

Can I stake TRX with the SafePal S1 or X1 hardware wallet? Yes. TRX staking on SafePal is fully supported on the SafePal S1 hardware wallet. Staking and unstaking transactions are initiated through the SafePal mobile app and then confirmed physically on the S1 or X1  device. Your private keys never leave the hardware wallet, and no staking transaction can execute without physical approval on the S1 or X1 hardware wallets,  making it a more secure way to stake TRX.

What is the TRX staking APY on SafePal? SafePal's TRX staking currently offers approximately 10% APY. This is a floating TRX staking APY and varies based on TRON energy rental demand and Super Representative voting reward rates. It is not a fixed or guaranteed return.

How are TRX staking rewards calculated? TRX staking rewards on SafePal use compound interest. Each time you interact with the staking contract to deposit, top up, or unstake, the system recalculates your accumulated rewards and folds them into your principal for the next period. 

Your TRX staking rewards earn further rewards automatically, with no manual reinvestment needed.

Where does TRX staking yield come from? TRX staking yield from the XYSwap integration comes from two sources: 

TRON Super Representative voting rewards: Voting for TRON SRs using the voting power generated by staked TRX, and block rewards are passed back to stakers. 

TRON energy rental income: Staked TRX generates Energy that is rented to TRON users and protocols for USDT-TRC20 transfers and DeFi interactions, generating TRX rental fees that flow to stakers.

How long does it take to unstake TRX for the XYSwap integration? Unstaking TRX takes 15 days. After submitting an unstaking request, TRON Stake 2.0 enforces a 14-day waiting period, with an additional 1 day buffer for the XYSwap staking feature before funds can be withdrawn. After 15 days, stakers can complete the withdrawal and claim the staked TRX and rewards to their wallets.

Can I cancel a TRX unstaking request on SafePal? No. Once a TRX unstaking request is submitted, it cannot be cancelled or reversed. This is a TRON Stake 2.0 protocol constraint and not a SafePal restriction. Ensure you are ready to proceed before confirming an unstaking request.

Does TRX earn staking interest during the 15-day unstaking wait? No. TRX in the 15-day unstaking waiting period stops compounding staking interest.

Your private keys never leave your device. On the mobile app, all transactions are signed locally on your phone before reaching TRON. 

With the hardware wallets, every TRX staking transaction requires physical confirmation on the respective devices, meaning no staking action can execute even if your connected phone is compromised.

What is the minimum amount of TRX I need to stake? The minimum TRX staking amount on SafePal is 1 TRX. This applies to initial deposits, top-ups, and unstaking requests. There is no maximum staking limit.

Are there fees for TRX staking on SafePal for the XWSwap integration? SafePal does not charge a commission on TRX staking rewards. Standard TRON network gas fees apply when you initiate on-chain transactions (i.e. staking, topping up, or unstaking). These fees are paid in TRX from your wallet and are set by the TRON network, not by SafePal.

Do I receive TRON Energy or voting rights when I stake TRX on SafePal? No. The TRX staking feature is a yield-only product. The Energy, Bandwidth, and voting power generated by TRON Stake 2.0 are used internally to produce the TRX staking yield and governance rights are not passed to individual stakers.

We are excited to introduce a reward system: The Coin98 Universal Referral. This is more than just a referral link; it is a unified revenue sharing model designed to turn your network into a sustainable, real-time income stream.

The "One Link" PhilosophyWe have unified the entire ecosystem into a single system designed for speed and growth.

1. XP 

What it is: XP measures how active your network is. It is used strictly to determine your Tier (Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc.).How it works: It is calculated based on a rolling 30-day period. This means you need to maintain an active network to stay at the top tiers.When it is counted: XP refresh 0:00 AM daily UTC+72. Commissions

What it is: This is your actual earnings, paid in Stablecoins.How it works: Commissions are shared in real-time.

Futures Trading: When your invitees trade on Coin98 Futures.Fusion Card: When they top up their Coin98 Fusion Card.SwapX: When they swap on SwapX (coming soon)Previously, SwapX activities earned BOBA; now, they generate XP to boost your Universal Referral Tier and unlock higher commission rates. Your existing BOBA balance remains safe in your wallet as a permanent record of your early support.

Tier System & Commission MechanismYour commission rate grows as your network grows. By accumulating XP through the logic described above, you climb the ranks to unlock higher payouts.

Claude Mythos, Claude Opus, GPT-5.5, and other systems have been deployed in vulnerability research across browsers, operating systems, and open-source software. The technology is beginning to influence crypto and DeFi security, where Claude Opus 4.8 was cited in research that uncovered a critical Zcash vulnerability. The latest generation of frontier AI models are no longer just chatting with users, generating images, or writing code. Researchers are increasingly using systems such as Anthropic’s Claude Mythos and Claude Opus 4.8 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 to identify software vulnerabilities, raising concerns about what happens when those capabilities become widely available.

Crypto investors got a wake-up call about the rising threat from powerful AI this week when Zcash developers disclosed that Claude Opus 4.8 helped discover a critical vulnerability that could've enabled an attacker to mint unlimited ZEC. Due to the network's design, there's no current way to know for sure whether counterfeit ZEC was, in fact, minted—and that uncertainty led to the price of ZEC crashing late this week.

Experts warn that many more vulnerabilities could be found in the coming weeks and months as AI software gets more capable—and those tools become more accessible. Here's a look at the growing threat, and how it's already impacted the crypto world.

Early AI models were professionally used as coding assistants, helping developers write, explain, and debug software. As the technology improved, researchers began using the same systems for code review, software auditing, and vulnerability research.

The transition from coding assistant to security tool coincided with a broader shift in how AI was being used inside software development. After the launch of Claude Code in 2025, Anthropic reported a sharp increase in AI-generated code across its engineering teams, reflecting a move from models that suggested code to systems capable of writing and running it.

Security professionals say the implications extend beyond helping developers write code.

"AI is far better at reviewing code than most people and finding potential vulnerabilities in it," Danny Jenkins, CEO and co-founder of ThreatLocker, told Decrypt. Jenkins said current AI systems are already accelerating vulnerability discovery, while newer models such as Mythos could significantly expand those capabilities, calling it an imminent “big problem.”

“It will be only a matter of time until someone bad gets access to it,” he said.

According to Jenkins, AI is also lowering the barriers to entry for vulnerability research, allowing more people to analyze code, identify weaknesses, and develop exploits. As access to increasingly capable systems expands, he expects the pace of vulnerability discovery to increase.

"Pre-AI, cybersecurity threats and exploits were increasing every year,” he said. “Post-AI, it's become even faster, and I think it's become faster for two reasons. One is that you can now use AI to help find vulnerabilities and exploits, and the number of people who have the ability to do this has massively grown. You don't have to be a script kiddie now.”

As AI systems became more capable, companies began applying them to cybersecurity. On Tuesday, Anthropic expanded access to Project Glasswing, giving 150 companies and institutions access to Claude Mythos to help identify and remediate software vulnerabilities before the model is released more broadly.

In April, Mozilla later disclosed that Anthropic's models helped identify hundreds of vulnerabilities that it fixed in the Firefox web browser, while researchers at Calif used Mythos Preview during work that produced one of the first public exploits targeting Apple's M5 chips.

Stanislav Fort, a former researcher at Google DeepMind and Anthropic and now founder and chief scientist of security firm Aisle, said concerns about AI-powered vulnerability discovery are valid, but often misunderstood.

“The naive response is to try to gatekeep access to powerful models. I think this is essentially security by obscurity, and security by obscurity is one of the worst ideas in the field,” Fort told Decrypt. “The capability for zero-day discovery is already widely distributed across models that no one can restrict. Trying to bottle it up at the frontier doesn't eliminate the risk; it just delays it while also slowing down the defenders who need these tools most.”

Fort said the greater risk is that defenders, particularly open-source maintainers, may lack access to the same advanced AI tools available to attackers.

“That imbalance is the real danger,” he said. “The answer isn't restriction; it's democratization of the defensive stack.”

Anthropic is not alone in pushing AI models aimed at cybersecurity. In May, Microsoft introduced MDASH, an agentic vulnerability discovery system that the company said helped identify previously unknown Windows vulnerabilities.

The risk to cryptoCrypto and DeFi are starting to feel the impact of AI-powered bug hunting. Blockchain projects have always been attractive targets because there is a lot of money at stake and much of the code is publicly available. Jenkins said as AI gets better at finding software flaws, open-source crypto projects could become easier targets for both security researchers looking for bugs and attackers looking to exploit them.

In one of the clearest examples of how advanced AI models can help researchers uncover vulnerabilities that had survived years of human review, independent security researcher Taylor Hornby disclosed the critical vulnerability in Zcash's Orchard privacy pool that he discovered with the assistance of Claude Opus 4.8.

The flaw could have allowed an attacker to create unlimited counterfeit ZEC, and had gone undetected for years before being patched. Whether the exploit was actually used currently remains unknown.

"The vulnerability was present from Orchard's activation in May 2022 until the emergency fix was deployed on June 1, 2026," Shielded Labs, the organization behind Zcash development, wrote in a disclosure post. "Due to the privacy properties of Orchard and the nature of the bug, there is no definitive way to determine, using only cryptography, whether such exploitation occurred."

The attack comes as DeFi protocols are already facing one of their worst years for exploits. More than $840 million was stolen from DeFi projects in the first five months of 2026, including more than $600 million in April alone across attacks on projects including KelpDAO, and Drift Protocol.

The rise of so-called 'vibe hacking,’ where attackers use AI coding agents to automate reconnaissance, credential theft, malware development, and other tasks, has raised concerns that AI is lowering the barriers to carrying out sophisticated cyberattacks

According to Natalie Newson, senior blockchain investigator at Web3 security platform CertiK, while April was unusually severe for crypto exploits, the broader trend remains more stable and below the peak number of incidents seen in past years.

“April 2026 was a bad month for crypto exploits; there were only three days without an exploit in which at least $10,000 was taken,” she said. “However, when we take a look at the wider picture, the number of incidents (excluding phishing) has arguably been fairly consistent and still lower than a peak in 2023.”

While AI is making DeFi exploits easier to carry out, according to Blockaid CTO Raz Niv, the bigger risk is not AI replacing hackers but amplifying them, allowing attackers to focus on more sophisticated techniques while AI handles routine tasks.

“The good news is defenders can use the same tools," he said. "AI-assisted monitoring and simulation is becoming essential for security teams trying to keep pace."

In brief Security researcher Taylor Hornby used Claude Opus 4.8 to discover a four-year-old flaw in Zcash's Orchard privacy pool that could have enabled unlimited counterfeit ZEC creation. Cybersecurity researchers say frontier AI models are increasingly capable of finding cryptographic and logic flaws that previously required deep specialist expertise. Experts warn that capabilities approaching today's most advanced vulnerability-discovery systems could become widely available within months. A security researcher using Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 uncovered a critical flaw in Zcash's Orchard privacy pool in a matter of days, exposing a vulnerability that had survived four years of review by leading zero-knowledge cryptographers.

The disclosure sent ZEC tumbling roughly 38% on Thursday and raised a broader concern for the crypto industry around frontier AI models becoming increasingly proficient in finding vulnerabilities than most humans.

"The significance isn't really that AI can find bugs," Ben Goertzel, founder and CEO of SingularityNET, told Decrypt. "It's that the kind of bug it can now find has changed."

Rather than simply flagging obvious coding mistakes, frontier models are increasingly capable of reasoning about whether software behaves the way its designers intended, he said.

In May, Taylor Hornby, a security researcher hired by Shielded Labs, discovered a critical flaw in Zcash's Orchard circuit with assistance from Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8. Hidden in two lines of code, the bug stemmed from a check that appeared to validate transaction inputs but wasn't actually enforcing the intended rules, potentially allowing an attacker to create counterfeit ZEC inside the shielded pool without detection. Hornby built a working exploit to verify the vulnerability before reporting it to developers. An emergency fix was deployed on June 1.

Adding to the panic that hit Zcash and the broader crypto market on Thursday and Friday is the fact that the flaw had been left undiscovered for over four years.

For Goertzel, the discovery is significant not only because AI found a vulnerability, but also because it points to a new model for security research.

"I think it's an early marker of a shift that's going to be hard to overstate," he said. "The model of security research as a handful of revered human specialists doing slow, artisanal, deeply-expert audits doesn't go away, but it stops being the whole game."

Goertzel said the Orchard flaw belongs to a class of subtle logic bugs that frontier AI models are increasingly capable of finding, including smart-contract errors, access-control failures, and situations where software behaves differently than its designers intended. As those capabilities improve, he added that security research is shifting toward a model in which human specialists oversee continuous AI-driven review that can analyze codebases far more extensively than traditional audits.

The Zcash response itself may offer a preview of that future, Goertzel said.

"Shielded Labs bringing on a researcher specifically to hunt protocol-level flaws with a frontier model before a malicious actor could is, I suspect, the template, not the exception," Goertzel said. "Proactive, AI-augmented, adversarial-by-design review becomes table stakes, and the protocols that don't adopt it will increasingly be the ones learning about their vulnerabilities from the attacker rather than from a friendly."

According to Sean Ren, CEO of Sahara AI and a computer science professor at the University of Southern California, advances in AI are also reshaping the balance between attackers and defenders as frontier models can rapidly test attack strategies, learn from the results, and uncover weaknesses.

"In order to build up better defense, we have to use these frontier AI models as the potential attackers to stress test these systems," Ren told Decrypt.

Ren said blockchain networks are especially exposed because their open-source code can be analyzed directly by frontier AI models, which can rapidly test attack strategies and identify vulnerabilities faster than traditional security reviews.

"If you think about frontier model labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, they have earlier access to the strongest unpublished models and can conduct a lot of experiments on public network systems like blockchains, so they do have the power at hand,” he said. “If someone with malicious intent had access to those capabilities, they could conduct attacks and create vulnerabilities.”

That window may close faster than many expect, and according to Danny Jenkins, CEO and co-founder of cybersecurity firm ThreatLocker, AI-assisted vulnerability discovery is improving faster than many organizations can secure the software they already rely on.

"We have this huge gap that's going to take years and years to get through," Jenkins told Decrypt. "All of this software is going to have all of these vulnerabilities, we're not going to have fixes or updates for it for a long time, and people are going to be able to find those vulnerabilities very quickly."

Jenkins said AI is not fundamentally changing vulnerability research so much as dramatically accelerating it. Tasks that once required security researchers to review code and reverse engineer software manually can now be performed in seconds by modern models.

"Pre-AI, cybersecurity threats and exploits were increasing every year,” he said. “Post-AI, it's become even faster, and I think it's become faster for two reasons. One is that you can now use AI to help find vulnerabilities and exploits, and the number of people who have the ability to do this has massively grown. You don't have to be a script kiddie now.”

Despite those risks, Goertzel argued that crypto may also be better positioned than other industries to adapt because its code is open, and its communities are highly security-focused.

“Crypto is standing closest to the door, but it's also the part of the room that can see the door coming,” he said.

Dario Amodei Demands Power to Block Unsafe AI a Day After Claude Fable 5 Launch

The Solana Foundation just rolled out the velvet rope for institutional crypto trading. Its new program, Frontier Traders, is an invite-only community designed for hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, and market makers who want front-row access to Solana’s rapidly expanding tokenized equity market, starting with SpaceX.

The barrier to entry is, to put it mildly, steep. The first VIP tier requires between $500 million and $2 billion in trailing 30-day decentralized exchange volume, plus $16 million to $66 million in gross time-weighted open interest.

What Frontier Traders actually offers The program is structured around tiered access, with each level unlocking enhanced infrastructure, data feeds, and liquidity pathways tailored specifically for professional traders.

The centerpiece campaign right now is SpaceX tokenized equity, trading under the ticker $SPCX. The token is designed to provide continuous onchain trading exposure to SpaceX, with shares set to become redeemable when SpaceX eventually makes its public debut on Nasdaq.

Frontier Traders participants can earn rewards for engaging with $SPCX trading activities, creating an incentive loop that simultaneously drives volume and deepens liquidity for the tokenized product.

The timing is deliberate. SpaceX tokenized shares are planned to trade on Solana on the same day that SpaceX lists on Nasdaq, offering 24/7 trading opportunities that traditional markets simply cannot match.

Solana’s quiet dominance in tokenized equities Solana accounts for over 95% of DEX volume for tokenized equities over the last 30 days.

The groundwork for this dominance was laid through collaborations with firms like PreStocks and Backpack Securities, which have been facilitating pre-IPO onchain exposure for early-stage companies. These platforms turned Solana into the de facto home for tokenized equity trading, and the Frontier Traders program is essentially the Foundation’s attempt to formalize and accelerate that position.

What this means for investors The Frontier Traders program is explicitly not designed for retail investors. The $500 million volume floor makes that abundantly clear.

The SpaceX angle is particularly interesting because it tests a core hypothesis about tokenized equities: can onchain markets compete with, or even complement, traditional IPO processes? If $SPCX generates meaningful volume and price discovery before SpaceX’s Nasdaq listing, it becomes a proof of concept that other high-profile pre-IPO companies will be watching closely.

There are risks worth flagging. Tokenized equities exist in a regulatory gray zone that varies by jurisdiction. The redemption mechanism for $SPCX, tied to SpaceX’s eventual public listing, introduces counterparty risk and depends on an IPO timeline that Elon Musk has historically been in no rush to set. Investors should also consider that the 95% market share figure, while impressive, reflects a still-nascent market where absolute volumes may be modest compared to traditional equity trading.

BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund on Ethereum, for example, has attracted billions in assets. Solana’s lead in tokenized equities is real, but maintaining it will require continued innovation and regulatory clarity that neither Solana nor any other blockchain can unilaterally provide.

Three publicly traded companies are capturing significant investor attention as they pursue distinct opportunities in orbital launches, Earth observation, and satellite communications.

Rocket Lab: Comprehensive Space Solutions Provider Rocket Lab operates one of the most comprehensive portfolios among accessible space industry investments.

Rocket Lab USA, Inc., RKLB

The enterprise delivers orbital launch capabilities, manufactures complete satellite systems, and provides aerospace components to military, civil, and commercial clients.

Latest financial results demonstrated impressive revenue expansion alongside a strengthening pipeline of committed contracts. Market observers are particularly focused on the company’s Neutron vehicle development, a medium-lift rocket designed to compete for larger payload missions traditionally dominated by SpaceX.

Analyst sentiment remains overwhelmingly favorable, with Rocket Lab receiving 10 Buy ratings, 4 Hold recommendations, and zero Sell ratings.

Industry experts view Rocket Lab as exceptionally well-positioned within both launch operations and satellite technology as the decade progresses.

Planet Labs: Commercial Earth Intelligence Leader Planet Labs pursues a distinctly different market opportunity. Rather than launching payloads for others, the company operates the planet’s most extensive commercial Earth-imaging satellite network.

Planet Labs PBC, PL

The intelligence and visual data captured by this constellation serves diverse customers including national security organizations, defense contractors, agricultural enterprises, risk assessment firms, and corporate clients worldwide.

Recent quarterly results highlighted accelerating revenue generation and an expanding backlog of signed agreements. The company maintains a solid balance sheet, providing financial flexibility for ongoing technology investments.

Wall Street assigns the stock 6 Buy ratings, 4 Hold positions, and zero Sell recommendations.

While profitability remains ahead, investors increasingly recognize the company as a premier geospatial intelligence provider rather than merely a satellite operator.

As appetite for continuous Earth monitoring intensifies—particularly with artificial intelligence integration—Planet Labs stands positioned as a primary beneficiary of this technological convergence.

AST SpaceMobile: Revolutionary Satellite Connectivity Play AST SpaceMobile represents the highest-risk, highest-potential opportunity among these three companies.

AST SpaceMobile, Inc., ASTS

The company’s ambitious objective involves enabling ordinary mobile phones to communicate directly with orbital satellites without modifications or specialized hardware. Successfully executing this vision could provide connectivity to billions of users worldwide and eliminate coverage gaps across underpopulated regions.

AST has completed successful proof-of-concept demonstrations of satellite-to-mobile connections and secured strategic alliances with leading telecommunications carriers.

Financial analysts support the investment thesis with 8 Buy recommendations, 2 Hold ratings, and zero Sell positions.

Significant execution challenges remain. AST must deploy additional satellites, expand network infrastructure, and demonstrate sustainable revenue generation. Technical setbacks or deployment delays could trigger substantial price volatility.

For risk-tolerant investors, AST represents one of the space sector’s most intriguing high-conviction speculative opportunities.

The 2026 Investment Landscape Rocket Lab, Planet Labs, and AST SpaceMobile each provide distinct exposure to different segments of the emerging space economy.

Among these three, Rocket Lab currently enjoys the strongest analyst support and operates the most balanced business model.

The anticipated SpaceX public offering has generated renewed momentum for space-related equities broadly, potentially lifting interest across all three companies as mainstream investor participation in the sector expands.

A crypto AI agent does not have to fail outright for it to impact your trades. It can stay online, keep the same interface, and still behave very differently after a model switch. The U.S. government’s June 2026 order that forced Anthropic to shut down Fable 5 and Mythos 5 showed how abruptly model access can change. And government action is only one of several possible triggers.

This guide explains model-access risk, why AI geopolitics matters for crypto, and what to check before you trust an agent with funds.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
➤ Crypto AI agents may execute on-chain, but rely on off-chain infrastructure they do not control.
➤ Model-access risk is the chance an AI product loses, changes, or downgrades the model it relies on.
➤ Anthropic disabling Fable 5 and Mythos 5 showed how fast frontier model access can change.
➤ For a DeFAI tool, a model cutoff can become a money problem, not just a feature problem.
➤ Decentralization should be checked across the full stack, beyond the token or smart contract.

A well-built crypto AI agent may stay live after its main model gets blocked, shelved, or replaced by routing requests to another model.

That can keep the service running, but it can also change how the agent behaves. A replacement model may assess risk differently, miss context that the original model would catch, work with fewer tools, or follow a different safety setup. From the outside, the product may look unchanged even though the decision layer behind it is not.

On June 12, 2026, that distinction stopped being theoretical when Anthropic said the United States government issued an export-control directive to suspend all access to two of its frontier models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, for any foreign national inside or outside the country. Anthropic said the net effect was that it had to disable both models for every customer worldwide.

While the Anthropic fiasco involved just one company and its two models, the broader lesson is clear: if access to a leading model can change in an afternoon, then any crypto tool that depends on a single controlled model has a few questions to answer.

What is the off-chain brain problem?The off-chain brain problem is the gap between a crypto agent’s on-chain actions and its off-chain intelligence. Put simply, the hands act on a blockchain, while the brain runs on infrastructure that may be centralized and restricted.

Crypto AI agents use blockchains for the parts that benefit from public verification. That includes holding funds, calling smart contracts, settling trades, enforcing permissions, and recording what happened. Those functions stay on-chain because users need a public record they can check directly.

The decision-making layer is different. The model that reads your prompt, processes data, and chooses the next action usually runs off-chain. Large language models require heavy computing, so they cannot run inside a blockchain transaction. Instead, they operate on servers, and only the final decision reaches the chain.

A typical stack looks like this, from your command down to the on-chain action.

LayerWhat happensWhere it runsUser promptYou type a command or set a strategyYour deviceApp and front endThe interface packages your requestProject serversAI modelA hosted model interprets and reasonsProvider infrastructureAPI and cloudRequests route through keys and cloud regionsProvider and cloudData and RPCPrice feeds and blockchain node access feed the modelExternal providersAgent decisionThe model picks an actionProvider infrastructureWallet or contract callThe action is prepared on-chainBlockchainApproval or executionYou sign, or the agent executes automaticallyBlockchainRead the table top to bottom and the issue becomes clear. Much of the system depends on off-chain layers. The blockchain can keep running while the AI layer above it fails.

Your wallet still works. The rails still work. But the agent that decides what to do with them may be gone or changed.

What is model-access risk?Model-access risk is the chance that an AI product loses, changes, or downgrades access to the model it depends on. The cause can be a government rule, a provider policy update, a cloud restriction, a price change, an outage, a sanction, a region block, or a safety update.

For an ordinary chatbot, model-access risk is mostly an annoyance. A feature disappears, a response gets more cautious, or the app falls back to a weaker model for a while.

For a crypto agent, however, the same disruption can land on something financial. A model change can affect whether a trade executes, how a wallet action is framed, whether a yield strategy continues, or how a security check reads a contract.

Model-access risk is not the same as model error. A model that hallucinates is making a mistake. A model that gets cut off is still capable, but you can no longer reach it. Both can hurt a crypto agent, and the second one is easy to overlook.

That is the key point. The AI layer is a dependency, and any dependency that can affect your funds needs to be checked before you trust it.

Why the Anthropic case matters for cryptoThe Fable 5 and Mythos 5 episode comes as an alarm call because it shows how quickly frontier model access can become subject to government limits, and it shows the shape of the chain that leads to a cutoff.

Anthropic said it received the directive at 5:21 p.m. ET and that the order covered any foreign national, including its own non-citizen employees, per its statement. Because compliance for that group was not practical at the user level, the company said it disabled both models for everyone. Access to its other models was not affected.

The stated concern involved a possible jailbreak. Anthropic said its understanding was that the government believed someone had found a way to bypass a safeguard, and that the demonstrated technique was used to identify a small number of previously known, minor software vulnerabilities.

Anthropic said it disagreed that a narrow potential jailbreak justified recalling a model used by hundreds of millions of people.

The chain of events is the part worth keeping.

TriggerWhat happened1. Government concernA national security worry tied to a jailbreak method2. Export-control directiveA legal order restricting access by foreign nationals3. Access problemCompliance at the user level was not workable4. Provider responseThe company disabled both models globally5. DisruptionEvery customer lost access to those two models Do not over-read this case. It involved one provider, two specific models, and a contested national security claim. It does not mean every AI model faces the same risk. It does prove that access to a frontier model can change fast when a government treats the model as a security issue.

Now apply that to crypto.

If a model can disappear or change in a day, what happens to a DeFAI app, trading agent, or wallet assistant that depends on it? Does it stop, or does it switch to something else? And if it switches, is the new model just as capable and safe?

How export controls reach the model layerThe Anthropic directive did not appear in a vacuum. Governments have spent years building tools to control advanced computing, and those tools increasingly point at AI itself.

In January 2025, the United States published the Framework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion, often called the AI Diffusion Rule. It described controls on advanced computing integrated circuits and, notably, on model weights for the most capable AI systems. The framework treated both chips and trained models as items that could be subject to export rules.

That specific rule did not stay in place. In May 2025, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced it was rescinding the AI Diffusion Rule and would issue replacement guidance. At the same time, BIS said it would strengthen export controls on advanced AI chips and warned that knowledge of items being used to train AI models could trigger license requirements.

The exact rule changed, but the direction did not. Chips, compute, and model access remain inside the export-control conversation. For crypto builders and users, the relevant point is that the AI layer now sits in a policy area that can move quickly and without much warning.

This is where sovereign AI and national AI strategy come in. Countries are increasingly treating compute and frontier models as strategic resources. That backdrop is why a model can be restricted at all.

The details of that competition are a separate topic. What matters here is the effect. A crypto agent may depend on rules that have nothing to do with crypto, and those rules can change how its AI model behaves or whether you can use it at all.

Five ways a crypto AI agent can get cut offA crypto agent can lose its intelligence layer in several ways. Some involve government action, others do not. Lumping them together hides the real risk. Each failure point has its own trigger and impact, so it is worth separating them.

Notice that only the first row is about governments. The other four are ordinary infrastructure and business risks that exist on a normal Tuesday. A billing problem, an outage, a sanctions-compliance step, or a quiet policy update can each change how an agent behaves.

Why DeFAI raises the stakesA broken chatbot wastes a few minutes. A broken financial agent can affect your balance. That difference is the core reason model-access risk deserves attention in crypto.

DeFAI, short for the combination of decentralized finance and AI, uses agents to gather information, interpret it, decide, and execute. When those four steps run with real funds, the quality and availability of the model stop being cosmetic. Consider how a model disruption could land in practice.

An AI trading assistant loses access to its primary model in the middle of an open strategy. An agent wallet quietly falls back to a weaker model that reasons less reliably about risk. A yield bot cannot evaluate protocol risk after a data or API failure. A security assistant loses advanced code-analysis capability right when it is needed. A portfolio agent misreads market data after a forced provider switch. A liquidation-risk tool fails during a volatile window, exactly when timing matters. A DeFAI app stays online and connected to the chain, but its AI decision layer is gone. With normal AI apps, model-access risk can be a productivity problem. With DeFAI, it can become a money problem. The on-chain side may look perfectly healthy while the decision layer that protects your funds is degraded or offline.

Research supports the idea that model capability and tool access matter.

In one experiment, U.S. venture capital firm a16z Crypto tested whether AI agents could reproduce DeFi exploits. Agents succeeded about 10% of the time in a basic setup. When given structured knowledge from real attacks, success rose to 70%.

Even then, the hardest exploits still required economic judgment that the agents struggled with.

This is not a reason to panic, but it is a reason to look a bit closer at what sits behind your agent and how much you can rely on it.

Smart contract risk vs. model-access riskCrypto users already think in terms of risk layers. You probably check smart contract risk, oracle risk, and custody risk without being told. Model-access risk is a newer layer that sits above all of them, and it does not replace the others.

Risk typeWhere it affectsExampleSmart contract riskOn-chain codeBug, exploit, or bad permission in a contractOracle riskData layerBad or manipulated price feedCustody riskWallet and key layerCompromised key or malicious signerModel-access riskAI layerHosted model restricted or downgradedCloud and API riskInfrastructure layerOutage, account block, or rate limitGeopolitical riskJurisdiction layerExport controls, sanctions, or foreign-access rulesThe point is not that AI makes crypto unsafe. The point is that due diligence now needs one more question: who controls the intelligence/decision layer, and how exposed is it? An audited contract and a hardware wallet do nothing for you if the agent’s brain goes dark at the wrong moment.

Does decentralized AI solve the problem?Decentralized AI can reduce single-provider dependence, but it does not erase every chokepoint. It is a meaningful improvement in some places and a trade-off in others, so it deserves a balanced read rather than a slogan.

Several approaches push against centralization, each with limits.

Open-weight models can reduce dependence on a closed API, because the weights can be downloaded and run elsewhere. They may still trail the strongest closed models on hard tasks. Local models can cut provider risk by running on hardware you or the project control. They often offer weaker performance and demand real operational effort. Decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) for compute can spread reliance across many providers instead of one cloud. Coordination, reliability, and verification add complexity. Decentralized inference can improve resilience by routing work across a network. It can introduce latency, quality variance, verification challenges, and governance questions. Even fully decentralized AI still needs compute, data, model quality, security, and economic incentives to hold up. Spreading out the model layer changes the shape of the risk. It does not remove the need to check it.

So the honest answer is partial. Decentralized AI can make the brain harder to switch off in one move. It does not guarantee that the brain is as resilient, as capable, or as available as the blockchain underneath it.

What you should check before you trust a crypto AI agentBefore you let an agent touch funds, treat the AI layer like any other dependency and ask direct questions. The list below works as a practical due diligence framework. You will not always get every answer, and a project’s willingness to answer is itself a signal.

Which AI model powers the agent, and is that disclosed? Is the model hosted, open-weight, or run locally? Who controls the API key, the project, or a third party? Can the project switch models quickly if one becomes unavailable? Does the fallback model have weaker capabilities, and does the app tell you when it switches? Does the agent actually touch funds, or only provide analysis? Are there spending caps per transaction and per period? Do you approve each transaction, or can the agent execute on its own? Can the agent call any contract, or only an approved allowlist? Does the system log its actions and model outputs for later review? What is the documented behavior if the model fails midway? Does the project disclose its model, cloud, and data dependencies? Does the project explain region-specific limits or restrictions? Is there a manual mode you can fall back to if the AI layer fails? Are the risk controls enforced on-chain, off-chain, or both? The strongest guardrails are the ones written into code rather than a policy page.

Chainlink’s guide on onchain AI agent safety makes a similar point, noting that agents can manage portfolios, execute trades, and interact with smart contracts, and that direct access to digital assets means they need strict guardrails such as spending caps and allowlists to avoid serious loss. On-chain limits matter precisely because they keep working even if the off-chain brain misbehaves.

What crypto projects should discloseBuilders carry the other half of this responsibility. A project that is honest about its dependencies is easier to trust than one that markets an agent as decentralized while hiding a single point of failure in the AI layer. Clear disclosure also strengthens a project’s credibility with users who are learning to ask these questions.

At a minimum, a project running an agent that touches funds should disclose the following.

The model provider, or at least the model class in use. Whether the setup is hosted or based on open-weight models. The cloud dependencies behind the service. A fallback model plan if the primary becomes unavailable. The risk of API rate limits affecting service. Any region restrictions on access. The rules for human approval of actions. The transaction limits enforced by the system. The audit trail and logging policy. The external data sources the agent relies on. What happens during model downtime. Whether the agent can act without user approval, and under what conditions. Disclosure does not remove model-access risk, but it does let you price it. A reader who knows the dependencies can decide how much trust, and how much money, a given agent has earned.

A new gatekeeper?Crypto users already understand why gatekeepers matter. Much of crypto’s history has been shaped by efforts to reduce reliance on centralized exchanges, custodians, and other intermediaries. At its core is a simple question: who has the power to stand between you and your funds?

The gatekeeper may not be where you expect it. In crypto AI systems, it can be the model provider behind your agent, or a rule that reaches that provider. The Fable 5 and Mythos 5 shutdown showed how quickly that control can change.

That said, it does not make every crypto AI tool unsafe. Rather, it changes what you need to check. Your agent may run on-chain, but its decision layer may not. Before you trust it with money, ask whether the AI layer is as resilient as the blockchain beneath it.

Frequently asked questions Yes, and it has happened. In June 2026 the United States issued an export-control directive that led Anthropic to disable two frontier models globally for all users. If your crypto agent depends on a single controlled model, a similar action could affect the AI layer behind it, even though the blockchain layer would keep running.

It describes the gap between an agent’s on-chain actions and its off-chain intelligence. The wallet, contract, and token live on a public blockchain, but the model that makes decisions usually runs on centralized infrastructure. That means the agent can look decentralized while its thinking layer is controlled by one company or restrictable by a government.

It can be. A chatbot losing model access is mostly an inconvenience, while a DeFAI tool losing access can affect trades, yield strategies, security checks, or risk monitoring. Because DeFAI agents can move real funds, a model disruption can shift from a productivity problem to a money problem.

It reduces dependence on a single closed provider, but it does not remove every chokepoint. Open-weight and local models can lower provider risk, yet they may offer weaker performance and still rely on compute, data, and infrastructure. Decentralized inference can improve resilience while adding latency, quality, and governance trade-offs.

Check the AI layer the way you would check a smart contract. Ask which model powers it, who controls the API key, whether there is a fallback model, whether you approve each transaction, and whether spending caps and contract allowlists are enforced on-chain. A project that discloses its model, cloud, and data dependencies is easier to evaluate than one that does not.

Frontier models depend on advanced chips and large amounts of compute, both of which sit inside active export-control policy. The exact rules have changed, with the United States rescinding its 2025 AI Diffusion Rule while strengthening other chip controls. Restrictions at the chip or compute level can shrink access tiers, raise costs, or limit which models a crypto agent can use.

TLDR: Oman launched Omanhash, a mandatory national Bitcoin mining pool for all licensed crypto miners in the country.
Enegix Global built Omanhash’s tech platform, marking its second sovereign mining pool mandate after Kazakhstan.
The pool targets 10 EH/s in its initial phase, pushing Enegix’s combined global hashrate to around 25 EH/s. Oman has invested over $700 million in mining and data center infrastructure in the Salalah Free Zone since 2022. Oman has launched Omanhash, a state-backed national Bitcoin mining pool requiring all licensed miners to participate.

The pool is a joint effort by the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology and Frontier Technologies LLC.

Enegix Global built the underlying technology platform and liquidity infrastructure. The move brings Oman’s growing mining sector under a centralized regulatory framework, consolidating an estimated 10 EH/s of hashrate in its initial phase.

Omanhash Brings Licensed Miners Under a Single Regulatory Framework Omanhash.om is the sole official mining pool for all licensed cryptocurrency mining companies in Oman. Under the approved regulatory framework, participation is mandatory for every licensed operator in the sultanate.

This gives the government direct visibility into mining revenue, energy consumption, and newly minted Bitcoin. The structure mirrors Kazakhstan’s model, where licensed miners report earnings to tax authorities through an automated system.

Frontier Technologies LLC, an Omani blockchain and Web3 company, manages and operates the pool alongside Enegix Global.

Enegix serves as the technical and liquidity provider, making Omanhash its second sovereign mining pool contract.

The company also operates btcpool.kz in Kazakhstan and 21pool.io internationally. Combined, Enegix’s pool operations now reach approximately 25 EH/s across its full portfolio.

Olzhas Amirov, Chief Business Development Officer of Enegix Global, explained the broader rationale behind the sovereign mandate. “Governments that want to regulate digital mining effectively need a partner who can deliver both the technical infrastructure and the institutional credibility to operate at that level,” Amirov said.

He added that clear licensing frameworks help miners operate legally, avoid punitive taxation, and maintain transparent communication with regulators. Enegix has set a target of growing its combined pool hashrate to 30 EH/s.

Gauhar Kagira, Director of Enegix Mining Pool, described the launch as a milestone for how sovereign states engage with Bitcoin mining as a strategic industry.

“Omanhash.om is a significant milestone — not just for Oman, but for how sovereign states engage with Bitcoin mining as a strategic industry,” Kagira stated.

He noted that Oman is among the first countries in the region to introduce a structured regulatory framework for miners. The technical execution of the launch was led by Enegix Global.

Oman’s $700 Million Mining Push Enters a New Phase Oman has been one of the most active Middle Eastern jurisdictions for industrial-scale mining investment since 2022. The Ministry launched a $370 million hydro-cooled mining facility in the Salalah Free Zone that same year.

A second major facility followed in 2023, pushing total investments in the free zone past $700 million. Alps Blockchain, an Italian firm, also brought a 150 MW facility in Salalah to full operation in mid-2025.

Omanhash represents the next chapter in Oman’s digital infrastructure strategy. Rather than restricting or banning mining, the government has embedded the activity within its broader economic diversification agenda.

The mandatory pool consolidates existing capacity into a transparent, trackable national architecture. This approach contrasts sharply with jurisdictions that have imposed outright bans or heavy tax burdens on crypto mining.

Yersaiyn Nurtoleuov, Chief Product Officer of Enegix Global, addressed the company’s growth targets following the Oman launch. “With this addition, our combined pool hashrate reaches approximately 25 EH/s. Our target is 30 EH/s — and we are actively building the infrastructure and partnerships to get there,” Nurtoleuov said.

He noted that each new sovereign mandate strengthens both capacity and credibility as an institutional-grade operator. Enegix confirmed it is actively pursuing additional partnerships to reach that milestone.

Oman’s regulatory model could serve as a reference point for other resource-rich nations considering structured mining frameworks.

The combination of mandatory participation, transparent reporting, and state-backed infrastructure creates a governed environment for Bitcoin production.

Omanhash positions Oman not just as a mining destination, but as a country formally integrating Bitcoin mining into national economic policy.

Amirov concluded that the Kazakhstan experience proved the model works, and Oman is now the clearest confirmation of that.
