Four Miners Back Psy Protocol’s New Proof-of-Work Testnet Launch

Four Miners Back Psy Protocol’s New Proof-of-Work Testnet Launch

Four prominent crypto mining infrastructure providers will join Psy Protocol’s public testnet, launched last month. Global mining giant F2Pool, known for Dogecoin and Litecoin mining pools, and three other mining firms, GrandCroix, DePIN X Capital, and Codestream, will join the testnet. PoW Platform Can Process 1M Transactions Per Second Per a company release shared with Cryptonews, the proof-of-work platform Psy will demonstrate throughput exceeding one million transactions per second. To achieve this, the protocol uses an architecture where users create zero-knowledge proofs of their transactions on their own devices. This will eliminate the computational risks faced by validators. Psy Protocol launched its public testnet in October, introducing a blockchain architecture for increased security. Psy’s architecture achieves virtually unlimited transactions per second and block times, allowing the network to scale as more users generate proofs. The platform said on X that November “will open a new chapter.” “The public PoW testnet is on the horizon, SDK tools are expanding, and new community initiatives are coming online.” Mining Partners’ Role in Psy PoW Ecosystem Carter Feldman, CEO and founder of Psy, frames the influx of mining support as a major credibility milestone. “With proof of stake, the largest token holders control the network by staking assets they already own,” he said. “Here, miners are deploying actual infrastructure and paying operational costs to participate.” The Psy PoW allows miners to verify and aggregate zero-knowledge proofs rather than compete to find random hash values. Simon Yang, founder of DePIN X Capital, echoed the need for “economic utility instead of waste,” positioning Psy as a platform that can bridge on-chain computation with real-world economic value. The participating miners will validate the protocol’s performance and security during testnet before mainnet activation. Psy has planned the mainnet deployment for later this year

Nubila, a project within the BSC ecosystem, has partnered with Unibase to empower AI Agents to achieve real-world on-chain perception within the BSC ecosystem.

Nubila, a project within the BSC ecosystem, has partnered with Unibase to empower AI Agents to achieve real-world on-chain perception within the BSC ecosystem.

PANews reported on November 10 that Nubila, a decentralized physical oracle project, announced a partnership with Unibase. Nubila's verifiable weather data infrastructure will be integrated with Unibase's ERC-8004 identity standard, x402 payment system, and Unibase Memory Layer, and deployed in the BSC ecosystem to jointly build on-chain data and interaction capabilities for AI agents. This collaboration enables AI Agents within the Unibase ecosystem to directly access on-chain verifiable weather data provided by Nubila for scenarios such as identity verification, automated execution, payment settlement, and task decision-making. Leveraging ERC-8004 (Agent Identity), ERC-3009, Permit2 (Gasless and Traceable Payments), and the x402 Facilitator Service, AI Agents will possess enhanced real-world awareness, on-chain inference, and multi-agent collaboration capabilities. Nubila stated that this collaboration is a significant step in implementing its "real-world data on-chain" strategy. As more AI agents access Nubila data through the Unibase network, the boundary between the real world and on-chain intelligence will be further blurred, providing a new paradigm for the integration of DePIN and AI agent infrastructure.

Ozak AI Smashes $4.17M Presale—Why This AI Crypto Is Leading Industry Growth and 330x Potential Gains in 2025

Ozak AI Smashes $4.17M Presale—Why This AI Crypto Is Leading Industry Growth and 330x Potential Gains in 2025

The post Ozak AI Smashes $4.17M Presale—Why This AI Crypto Is Leading Industry Growth and 330x Potential Gains in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ozak AI has raised $4.17 million in funds and is on the path to raise more funds. The current milestone has already brought out its potential as Ozak AI leads industry growth. $OZ is estimated to generate 330x gains in 2025. It remains backed by a fusion of AI tools, developments like OSN, and DePIN design. The AI-powered crypto project has also entered into a key strategic alliance which has positioned the ecosystem at the center of the crypto market. Ozak AI’s Potential 330x Gain in 2025 Ozak AI is projected to return gains as high as 330x in 2025. Investors who accumulated tokens during the $OZ presale Phase 1 at $0.001 could see their holdings rise to $0.33. To put this into perspective, an investment of $1,000 at $0.001 accumulated 1,000,000 Ozak AI tokens. When $0.33, they will be collectively worth $330,000. The growth projection is on the grounds of its presale success so far. Ozak AI has raised $4.17 million by selling more than 980 million $OZ tokens. Price has been revised across all 6 phases and will be next revised to $0.014 in Phase 7. The end goal is to reach $1, which would be a significant ROI of 1,000x from the initial offer value. Notably, this will make the base investment of $1,000 to $1,000,000. Technology and Development within Ozak AI Ozak AI houses critical developments and technologies pertaining to AI. But, at the core is DePIN design. Its architecture is setting standards in the industry when it comes to keeping the data structure intact via blockchain and IPFS nodes. Short for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network, it further supports redundancy wherein it stores copies of data in different locations. Ozak Streaming Network, OSN, is another major development in Ozak AI. The central hub of the ecosystem…

Ethereum Crosses $3,949 — But Analysts Say Ozak AI Could Outperform ETH’s ROI by 600× Before 2030

Ethereum Crosses $3,949 — But Analysts Say Ozak AI Could Outperform ETH’s ROI by 600× Before 2030

The post Ethereum Crosses $3,949 — But Analysts Say Ozak AI Could Outperform ETH’s ROI by 600× Before 2030 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A stark comparison between Ethereum and Ozak AI shows that even though ETH has surpassed $3,949, $OZ has sufficient potential to outperform the giant by 600x in ROI. This could happen before 2030, generating significant gains for early investors who are accumulating tokens at a low price. The AI-powered crypto project is showcasing this potential largely on the grounds of AI-based technology, strategic alliances, and presale progress. $OZ Over ETH Before 2030 ETH is currently exchanging hands at $3,949. This is slightly down by 2% over the past 24 hours and massively down from the ATH of $4,953.73, which it recorded on August 25, 2025. Chances are that it will soar by 68.87% in the next 3 months amid the volatility of 6.01%. However, long-term projections estimate that the token could only surge by 5x to around $24,768 by 2030. For $OZ, the same growth is anticipated to happen in the next year when the token rises from $0.014 to $0.06. It could follow up this growth by a jump to $1, which would be a rise of 83x during the presale phase. The pattern has been acted out to this point, and it would be repeated in listing by revising the price again. By 2030, Ozak AI could record a massive ROI of 500x by reaching $6 – still considered a reasonable margin. So, not only could $OZ outperform ETH before 2030, it could surpass its ROI starting next year, that is, 2026, and sustain that trend for the next 4-5 years. As for the presale progress, Ozak AI has raised over $4.49 million, and funds are still pouring in via $OZ accumulation. Technical Grounds of Ozak AI Some of the technical grounds of Ozak AI that are supporting its speculated outperformance over ETH are AI-based technology. At the…

As Bitcoin Drops Below $100,000 Again, Surprise Altcoin Experiences Biggest Comeback of the Year! Here’s the Star of the Day and the Reason for the Rally!

As Bitcoin Drops Below $100,000 Again, Surprise Altcoin Experiences Biggest Comeback of the Year! Here’s the Star of the Day and the Reason for the Rally!

The post As Bitcoin Drops Below $100,000 Again, Surprise Altcoin Experiences Biggest Comeback of the Year! Here’s the Star of the Day and the Reason for the Rally! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $100,000 again today after recovering to $104,000 on November 5. While Ethereum and most altcoins accompanied this decline, some altcoins became the stars of the day with their rise. At the top of these altcoins was Filecoin (FIL), a very surprising name. Filecoin has staged one of the biggest retracements of the year, rising over 50% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data. This surge has seen FIL climb from $1.38 to over $2. While this sharp rise surprised everyone, experts shared their predictions about why the Filecoin price rose so much today. Accordingly, the biggest reason was cited as the approaching DePIN Day on November 18, a key event for the decentralized infrastructure sector, and the Filecoin Developer Summit (November 13-15). Some experts, however, argued that Filecoin may soon announce significant updates or partnerships. Experts noted that Filecoin closed trading above $2, confirming the robustness of its medium-term uptrend. They added that Filecoin’s surge wasn’t simply a short-term recovery, but rather demonstrated that the decentralized infrastructure sector is generating independent momentum within the market. Filecoin rose the most, ranking first, followed by Near, FET, ZEC, and ICP. According to CoinMarketCap data, FIL topped the list with a surge of more than 50% in the last 24 hours. FIL was followed by NEAR with a 21% increase, FET with a 19.7% increase, ZCash (ZEC) with a 16% increase, and Internet Computer with a 15% increase. On the other hand, according to Coinmarketcap data, the biggest losers in the last 24 hours were as follows: Decred (DCR) in first place with a 30.9% loss, Dash (DASH) in second place with a 14.4% loss, ZKsync (ZK) in third place with an 11.2% loss and SPX in fourth place with an 8% loss. *This is not investment…

Whale Bets $43M on Ethereum recovery with 20x leveraged long!

Whale Bets $43M on Ethereum recovery with 20x leveraged long!

The post Whale Bets $43M on Ethereum recovery with 20x leveraged long! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways How risky is this whale’s ETH position? The whale faces liquidation at $3,311.7 with ETH currently trading around $3,400—just a 3.4% cushion. Why is this trade significant now? The fresh wallet and $43 million leveraged long come as Ethereum dropped 17% this week, and overall open interest declined. A crypto whale opened a massive $42.9 million leveraged long position on Ethereum today.  The trader deposited $2.43 million USDC into Hyperliquid and used 20x leverage to bet on 13,976 ETH, creating nearly $860 million in total exposure. On-chain tracker Lookonchain spotted the bold move. The whale created a fresh wallet specifically for this trade, suggesting high conviction in an ETH price recovery. Razor-thin liquidation margin The position carries extreme risk. ETH trades at approximately $3,429, while the liquidation price sits at $3,311.7. That leaves just a 3.4% cushion before the entire position gets wiped out. If Ethereum drops another $117, the exchange will automatically liquidate the position. The trader would lose the entire $2.43 million collateral in minutes. Betting against recent weakness The timing makes this trade especially notable. Ethereum dropped 17% over the past week, falling from nearly $4,000 to its current levels. Most traders backed away from leverage during the decline. This whale sees opportunity instead. The fresh wallet and immediate deployment of capital suggests the trader believes ETH has bottomed. The 20x leverage amplifies both potential gains and losses dramatically. Ethereum Open Interest shows declining leverage CryptoQuant data reveals that Ethereum’s total open interest across all exchanges is $18.9 billion. That’s down significantly from peaks above $33 billion in September but remains elevated compared to earlier in 2025. Source: CryptoQuant Declining open interest typically indicates traders closing leveraged positions. This whale’s new long position bucks that trend, adding fresh leverage as others retreat. High-stakes gamble At…
