Story
September Recap: Korea runs on IP. AI runs on IP. IP runs on Story
September was a landmark month for Story. The team hosted the first-ever Origin Summit in collaboration with Blockworks — a flagship event exploring the future of IP, AI, and blockchain, gathering top cultural and technical leaders in the $80T IP economy. Major IPs like Solo Leveling, Azuki, and Moonbirds joined the Story ecosystem, while a 3-year exclusive partnership with Seoul Exchange positioned Story as the blockchain infrastructure for Korea’s real-world asset market. On the product front, IP Vault was introduced to securely store and monetize encrypted IP, and the Poseidon app surpassed 5 million submissions just two weeks after launch. Ecosystem apps like Verio and ip.world reached new milestones, while Aria closed a $15M round to scale tokenized IP. In a milestone for public markets, IP Strategy (Nasdaq: IPST) became the first listed company centered on $IP, with the Story Foundation beginning open market purchases. From major partnerships and ecosystem growth to global recognition through events like Once Upon a Story: Seoul, September solidified Story’s role at the intersection of AI, culture, and programmable IP.

Poseidon Litepaper is Live
Poseidon is a decentralized data infrastructure built on Story, designed to power a marketplace for rights-cleared, high-quality AI training datasets. It uses purpose-tailored subnetworks (shards) for different AI domains, each running data pipelines that allow contributors to collect, annotate, validate, and monetize data. Datasets are registered as on-chain IP assets with verifiable provenance via Story’s programmable IP infrastructure. Subnetwork validators stake Story’s IP tokens for security, while data workflows enforce quality and authorization rules. Through this architecture, Poseidon bridges the supply & demand gap in specialized data, enabling scalable, composable, and privacy-aware AI development.

Cardano
Cardano Weekly Development Update
The Cardano weekly development report highlights key progress across core technology, scaling, governance, and community initiatives. The consensus team advanced the Linear Leios impact analysis and Peras milestone integration, while node v10.6 development continues pending audit results. The Mithril team worked on decentralization, SNARK-friendly proofs, and cryptographic library refactoring. Intersect announced results from its 2025 board election, strengthening decentralized governance with new member-elected directors. Catalyst introduced the Catalyst Explorer tool to enhance voter and proposer engagement ahead of the October 6 voting deadline. On the education front, the team showcased Mastering Cardano and hosted Cardano Days at the University of Wyoming, emphasizing global outreach and ecosystem growth.

The Beyond MVG roadmap: evolving Cardano’s governance
The Beyond Minimum Viable Governance (MVG) initiative marks a new phase in Cardano’s evolution toward fully decentralized, community-led governance. Funded by the treasury and managed by Intersect, it introduces an iterative roadmap to enhance governance structures, focusing on improving the budget process, strengthening DRep support, and establishing measurable governance metrics. Building on insights from the Rare Evo 2025 workshop, the project emphasizes transparency, data-driven decisions, and active community participation through workshops, surveys, and milestone reporting. Ultimately, Beyond MVG empowers ADA holders to collaboratively shape Cardano’s future, transforming Voltaire from a final roadmap stage into the foundation of ongoing governance innovation.

Input|Output and Brave complete integration of Cardano in Brave Wallet
Brave and Input Output (IO) have completed the integration of Cardano into the Brave Wallet, allowing Brave’s 100 million users to manage ADA and Cardano native assets, swap tokens, and participate in on-chain governance directly from their browser — without extensions. The update also streamlines access to Midnight’s Glacier Drop and NIGHT token redemption, enabling users to create and manage eligible Cardano addresses seamlessly. This collaboration enhances Brave Wallet’s position as a secure, privacy-focused Web3 gateway and expands Cardano’s accessibility and utility for millions of users, strengthening both ecosystems’ commitment to usability, governance, and privacy-centric blockchain adoption.

Midnight
Midnight Foundation welcomes Google Cloud ecosystem collaboration
The Midnight Foundation has announced a strategic collaboration with Google Cloud to advance privacy-enhancing infrastructure and zero-knowledge technology for enterprise and developer adoption. Through this partnership, Google Cloud will provide enterprise-grade infrastructure, operate a validator, and deliver advanced threat monitoring via Mandiant, while integrating Confidential Computing to ensure data protection and regulatory compliance. The initiative enables developers to build secure, privacy-first applications for sectors like finance, government, and healthcare. Additionally, the collaboration will expand community tools, developer resources, and startup support through the Google for Startups Web3 Program, fostering innovation across the Midnight ecosystem.

Lido
Lido V3 & Solstice: Delivering Yield Strategies for Institutions & Retail
Solstice, a yield platform built around the USX stablecoin, has surpassed $1B in staked assets across Ethereum and Solana and is now introducing YieldVault, a delta-neutral hedge fund strategy powered by Lido’s stVaults. The integration enables both institutions and retail users to access secure, transparent, and compliant staking opportunities with higher yields than traditional markets. By offering dedicated vaults per client, Solstice ensures full asset segregation, regulatory alignment, and access to deep stETH liquidity. Operating from Switzerland with institutional-grade infrastructure, Solstice is bridging DeFi and traditional finance, expanding adoption through partnerships with Swiss banks.

Community Staking Module v2 Launch: Scaling Permissionless Staking, Empowering Community Stakers
Lido’s Community Staking Module (CSM) v2 expands permissionless staking from 3% to 5% — with plans to reach 10% by 2026 — enhancing solo staker participation in Ethereum’s security. The upgrade introduces the Identified Community Staker (ICS) framework, offering boosted rewards, lower bond requirements, and priority access for verified individual stakers. Additional features like customizable Entry Gates, a Strikes System for underperforming validators, and EIP-7002 integration strengthen protocol resilience and decentralization, empowering community stakers to play a greater role in Ethereum’s growth.

Agoric
The Agoric Road Ahead: Building Ymax, the on-chain Capital Command Center
Agoric, the Web3 orchestration platform, is launching its first major product — Ymax, a cross-chain capital allocation system designed to unify fragmented liquidity and automate DeFi operations. Built on Agoric’s orchestration stack, Ymax enables users to manage portfolios, deploy capital, and optimize yields across multiple chains with a single signature. Its architecture combines secure remote account control, asynchronous multi-chain execution, and AI-assisted optimization to deliver transparent, automated capital flows. Positioned as the foundation for a $2T on-chain capital market, Ymax is Agoric’s first step toward building a universal capital allocation layer for all digital assets.

Harmony
Harmony Q3 2025 Recap
In September, Harmony made steady progress across protocol upgrades, DeFi tooling, and governance. Core engineers improved stream sync stability, advanced the London fork toward mainnet, and enhanced analytics for liquidity provision (LP) strategies with better backtesting accuracy, impermanent loss tracking, and per-transaction verification. The launch of gov.harmony.one marked a major step in decentralized governance, while DAOs, validators, and games like Kilopi’s Masters of Management drove strong community engagement. Entering Q4, Harmony is focused on mainnet readiness, Ethereum compatibility, and sustainable DeFi automation, bridging technical performance with community-led growth.
