World’s First Blockchain Bond on Ethereum 4011

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), the country’s largest bank, has won a mandate from the World Bank to become the sole arranger of a bond exclusively created and managed on a blockchain. Dubbed ‘bond-I’ – Blockchain Offered New Debt Instrument- with a nod to Australia’s famous Bondi beach, the pioneering issue will be the ‘first bond globally to be created, allocated, transferred and managed using blockchain technology”, the World Bank said in a press release on Friday.

Following its launch, the bond will be issued and managed on a private Ethereum blockchain operated by the World Bank in Washington and CBA in Sydney, the Australian ‘big four’ bank added. Ethereum “offers the functionality” required for the blockchain bond issuance whilst having “the largest and most active development community globally”, the CBA added, insisting it would remain open to other blockchains in the future.

Specifically, the World Bank will use Microsoft’s cloud computing platform Azure to run the bond in Washington. The tech giant has already validated the Ethereum platform’s operational “capabilities, security and scale”, the World Bank added.

Investors’ indicative interest in the blockchain-exclusive debt instrument “has been strong”, the World Bank added, picking Australia’s CBA for the endeavor in seeking to streamline and simplify trading and capital raises.

CBA general manager for international markets James Wall heralded the partnership for using the decentralized technology to increase the efficiency of financing for countries with extreme poverty.

“We believe that this transaction will be groundbreaking as a demonstration of how blockchain technology can act as a facilitating platform for different participants.”

Every year, the World Bank issues between US$50 billion-$60 billion in bonds for sustainable development in emerging economies. The international financial institution – formed with a mandate to provide loans for capital projects in countries around the world – underlined blockchain’s “potential to streamline processes among numerous debt capital market intermediaries and agents” to improve operational efficiencies and regulatory oversight.

EY upgrades Nightfall, a zero-knowledge roll-up enabling private transactions on the Ethereum blockchain 1944

  • The new source code for Nightfall, renamed Nightfall_4, replaces the prior version.
  • This update provides the near-instant finality of layer-1 blockchain transactions without the need for a challenge period.
  • Nightfall enables enterprises to orchestrate private transactions efficiently on Ethereum without compromising its benefits of transparency, data immutability and security.

The EY organization today announces it has updated the public domain source code for Nightfall, a layer-2 roll-up that enables private transactions on the public Ethereum blockchain and the development of privacy-focused enterprise blockchain solutions.

This updated version of Nightfall replaces the optimistic roll-up with a zero-knowledge version – enabling the near-instant finality of transactions on the blockchain without the need for a challenge period. Using Nightfall, enterprises can orchestrate private transactions efficiently on the Ethereum mainnet, without compromising the transparency, data immutability and security that Ethereum provides.

The replacement of a cryptoeconomic approach with a cryptographic approach simplifies Nightfall’s architecture because there is no need to accommodate challenging incorrect blocks, nor to provide liquidity services to avoid users having to wait out the challenge period to get their tokens. As soon as a Nightfall block is added to the chain, the transactions it contains are as final as any other blockchain transaction.

This simplifies the operating requirements for Nightfall, making privacy technology more accessible for enterprise users. Nightfall’s other features, such as access provision through x509 enterprise identity certificates and the enhanced scalability with privacy, have all been retained.

The source code for Nightfall, renamed Nightfall_4, and supporting tools are in the public domain and are available on Github. Nightfall remains in the public domain to facilitate the adoption of privacy-focused enterprise solutions among companies seeking to enter Ethereum and conduct meaningful business on the network.

The EY organization first contributed Nightfall to the public domain in 2019 as a set of protocols for enabling private transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, and Nightfall_4 is the fourth major update to the software. EY core software and service offerings in the global blockchain market, such as, EY OpsChain, use Nightfall, and both are delivered through EY Blockchain’s SaaS platform, Blockchain.ey.com.

Paul Brody, EY Global Blockchain Leader, says: “This update to version 4 represents a major update to Nightfall, providing the same privacy and scaling that version 3 enabled, but now with near-instant finality and a simplified architecture. We believe we will see accelerating adoption of this technology in the coming year by enterprise users.”

Lost Dogs Introduces First-Ever NFTs with Locked Tokens on TON, A Breakthrough in NFT Utility and Community Token Distribution 2151

26 3 2025 10

Lost Dogs, a pioneering Web3 community project, is introducing a new feature to TON-based NFTs that allows tokens to be attached to an NFT and locked. Once tokens are locked, a randomized vesting schedule is activated that allows holders to claim tokens after their individual unlocking period ends, strengthening the token’s distribution model and creating a more sustainable tokenomics.

The team behind Lost Dogs, a community-driven gaming and NFT project on TON, is the first to make use of this innovative technology with the launch of a new collection of 18,000 NFTs. Each NFT will cost 35,000 $WOOF and will reward the holder with 50,000 $WOOF once unlocked after the randomised vesting period. Unlike traditional staking or token airdrops, this model enhances liquidity and stability, and incentivizes long-term community participation.

How $WOOF NFTs with locked tokens work:

  • Each NFT is preloaded with a fixed amount of $WOOF tokens.
  • Users purchase NFTs at a discounted price.
  • NFTs have randomized unlocking periods ranging from two weeks up to one year, ensuring gradual liquidity distribution.
  • Users can choose whether to hold these NFTs on a long-term basis. 
  • Upon unlocking, holders can easily claim tokens via “Claim $WOOF” interface on Getgems, instantly transferring tokens to their wallet.
  • Once claimed, empty NFTs will be burned to ensure transparency and prevent fraud.

$WOOF is the first token to use NFTs with locked tokens; however, the feature may be adopted by other projects through Getgems, the largest marketplace on TON blockchain, allowing them to introduce to their communities a versatile solution for token distribution, staking alternatives, and enhanced NFT capabilities.

“NFTs have always been about ownership and digital identity, but recently they have become more complex thanks to new technological features and capabilities,” said Ivan Gusev, Head of Fun at Getgems. “With NFTs with Locked Tokens, it will now be possible to merge DeFi and NFTs in an unprecedented way.”

Mad Tail from Lost Dogs added,

“NFTs just as collectibles is a shallow concept. The technology is capable of delivering more functionality and entertainment for users. We’re eager to drive the industry forward and broaden its horizons.”

Launchpad Details

The launch is limited to a maximum of 10 NFTs per wallet to ensure broader distribution and prevent centralization. 5% of the total $WOOF supply is allocated for this launch, and each holder purchases NFT at a discount (35,000 $WOOF for an NFT containing 50,000 $WOOF).

The NFTs with locked tokens program launched exclusively on Getgems on March 27, 2025:

About Lost Dogs

Lost Dogs is a community-driven NFT and gaming project on The Open Network (TON). What started as an NFT collection launched in 2022 with unique breeding mechanics has since evolved into a vast gaming and storytelling universe.

It has expanded into the Telegram mini-game Lost Dogs: The Way (which gathered over 15 million players in just six weeks), the animated series Lost Dogs: Magic Quest, multiple experimental releases, and the upcoming NFT Stickers — blockchain-powered collectibles for Telegram.

In January 2025, the $WOOF token launched, unlocking new utilities and expanding access within the ecosystem, with over 115,000 on-chain holders. Now, Lost Dogs continues its NFT experiments, pushing the boundaries of their applications. At the same time, the project is building its own gaming universe—one that will unfold the story of the lost dogs while adding even more utility to $WOOF and the original NFT collection.

Shardeum Allocates 5.5 Million SHM to Community in Pre-Mainnet Airdrop 2426

Shardeum, a Layer 1 blockchain network with a growing global community, is preparing for its mainnet launch with a structured airdrop campaign aimed at early contributors. A total of 5.5 million SHM tokens will be distributed across 63,000 eligible wallets, making it one of the more extensive community-driven distributions in the space. The initiative is designed to acknowledge and reward participants who have engaged with Shardeum’s testnets since its inception.

The airdrop has been structured in two distinct phases, each catering to different groups of contributors:

  • Phase 1 recognizes the efforts of those who participated in the Liberty Alphanet and Sphinx Betanet from February 2022 to June 2024. A snapshot of these early adopters was taken on June 22, 2024, determining their eligibility for a total allocation of 3.3 million SHM.
  • Phase 2 focuses on those who engaged with Shardeum’s Atomium Incentivized Testnet (ITN) from June 2024 to March 2025, with a snapshot taken on March 1, 2025. Participants in this phase stand to receive a combined total of 2.1 million SHM.

Shardeum has outlined how tokens will be distributed among different types of contributors. Those involved in on-chain activities, such as executing transactions, interacting with smart contracts, and maintaining active participation during Phase 1 as well as being among the top performers in the Incentivized Testnet (ITN) quest platform will receive their share based on network interactions and engagement levels.

Validators, who have dedicated time and resources to running nodes, will be rewarded according to node hours, participation across network versions during Phase 1, and their overall contribution during the Incentivized Testnet quests to the network stability.

Off-chain contributors, including content creators, community moderators, and those involved in marketing efforts, are also recognized, with allocations based on factors such as consistency and impact.

Ensuring fairness in distribution, Shardeum has implemented a strict exclusion policy to prevent abuse and Sybil attacks. Wallets belonging to the Shardeum Foundation, its partners, and sanctioned entities have been disqualified from participation. Additionally, a multi-layered Sybil detection process has been put in place, leveraging advanced clustering algorithms and machine learning models to detect fraudulent activity across various blockchain networks.

Next Steps

For those eligible, registration for the airdrop is a straightforward process. Between March 14 and March 21, 2025, participants can visit the official airdrop registration page, connect their wallet, and verify their eligibility.

Upon successful registration, SHM tokens will be automatically allocated and distributed at the Token Generation Event (TGE). Those who miss the initial window but register between March 22 and April 13, 2025, will still receive their tokens, with a delayed distribution scheduled for June 2025.

While this airdrop marks a significant milestone, it represents just the beginning of Shardeum’s broader incentive initiatives. With over 19 million SHM allocated for future campaigns post-mainnet, the network aims to further support ecosystem growth and engagement. Additional incentive programs and reward mechanisms are expected as Shardeum continues to develop.

Shardeum has also issued a caution regarding potential scams and unofficial sources. Participants are advised to register only through the official airdrop portal and stay informed via Shardeum’s verified communication channels. As the mainnet launch approaches, the network continues to focus on ensuring a fair and transparent distribution process for its contributors.

About Shardeum

Shardeum is an autoscaling EVM-based layer-1 blockchain. Dynamic state sharding helps keep gas fees low and TPS high as participation grows. Shardeum performs consensus at the transaction level and lowers the computational power needed for validator nodes. This consensus mechanism makes it possible for anyone to run a node while increasing decentralization.
