#BuildInPublic — Week 22 (2026) This week, we are focusing on strategic ecosystem alignment and finalizing the architecture for our upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE). 🤝 Ecosystem & Infrastructure Update We are shifting our Real-World Asset (RWA) equity tokenization infrastructure. We want to express our sincere gratitude to the Dinari team for their partnership and support to date; however, their updated commercial terms no longer align with our long-term scaling model. To ensure uninterrupted, institutional-grade access to tokenized equities, we are actively in discussions with alternative industry leaders, including Backed.fi, to integrate their robust RWA solutions into the Nex Labs ecosystem. 📊 TGE Campaign & Token Distribution Strategy The blueprint for our TGE campaign is officially finalized. We have designed an inclusive, multi-tiered leaderboard system engineered to reward value creation across our entire community—ensuring both high-net-worth participants and retail users are meaningfully incentivized. Points can be accumulated through diverse engagement vectors, including: Social Amplification: Active engagement and interactions with our official X posts. Liquidity Provision: Daily tracked Total Value Locked (TVL). Network Growth: Multi-tier TVL referral incentives. Our distribution model optimizes expected fully diluted valuation (FDV) metrics, ensuring that every cohort receives a proportional, highly competitive bonus on their holdings relative to their unique contribution style. 🚀 What’s Next As we finalize these structural upgrades and prepare to launch the leaderboard UI, our core focus remains on delivering a seamless, high-yield environment for decentralized asset management. Stay tuned for the official campaign launch guidelines. Explore the platform today: app.nexlabs.io #NEXProtocol #DeFi #RWA #Web3Engineering #BuildInPublic

#BuildInPublic — Week 20 (2026) This week we kicked off our migration to Dinari V2; a major architectural upgrade to how NexLabs handles tokenized stock indices. Smart Ordering: We're moving to an asynchronous relayer system that validates and dispatches trade intents off-chain, making transactions more resilient during high volatility. Contract Signing (ERC-1271): Our smart contracts can now autonomously approve and sign transactions via a backend operator; enabling secure, automated rebalancing and minting. What's next: We're laying groundwork to cut issuance fees by 50% using Dinari's native USD token, and building safety vaults to handle stock splits and trading freezes automatically. In addition, we are working on the architecture of the leaderboard page. Join our platform: app.nexlabs.io #NEXProtocol #DeFi #Web3Engineering #BuildInPublic

#BuildInPublic — Week 19 (2026) This week was about tightening the index-building experience and improving data integrity across the app. Index creation enrichment: We now store the exchangeId directly from the DB in the index object at creation time, improving consistency across downstream flows. Vault UX polish: Updated the Vault page based on product feedback to make the experience clearer and more predictable. Pricing reliability (Dinari): Investigated the MAG7 pricing mismatch and traced it to underlying Dinari asset price behavior. As a safeguard, we temporarily removed MAG7 from the dApp and tracked it as a dedicated issue. Follow us for weekly updates as we keep improving the index standard.

#BuildInPublic — Week 18 (2026) This week, engineering shifted focus to the architecture of our upcoming DCA tool. We’ve finalized the model for automated buys, built exclusively for smart accounts. Traditional EOA wallets require manual signatures for every transaction, making "set-and-forget" automation impossible. By utilizing smart accounts (ERC-4337) and restricted session keys, you can securely delegate recurring (index) trades (buy/sell) to execute seamlessly while you’re offline. Gas fees are abstracted and paid in USDC, so your portfolio grows/shrinks without needing a constant native gas balance. We’ve also optimized our RPC endpoints and pressure-tested trade logic to ensure the foundation for secure, hands-off investing is rock solid. Preview the progress here: app.nexlabs.io/dca ,and let us know what you like to see included. #NEXProtocol #DeFi #Web3Engineering #BuildInPublic

#BuildInPublic — Week 16 (2026) Last week was all about refining the "plumbing" of our index engine to create a smoother, more transparent experience for every builder. Asset managers pay index rebalancing costs (and receive rewards). Creation of the vault is now automated and persists even if you navigate away from the tab. Fewer hurdles. We have extended monitoring capabilities across the entire user journey and index management; including index creation, deployment, and CCIP transaction lifecycle. This gives our team instant visibility into platform or blockchain issues and enhances our customer support. Looking ahead we have officially kicked off development for our Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) tool. We are currently architecting the data layer to fetch historical pricing for indices to power your future investment strategies. Small tweaks, significant UX gains.

Create an image based on this description. The Konnex logo is attached. The image should be beautiful, not just a list of facts from the text: Why hasn't DePIN gained much popularity in robotics yet? The answer is in one word: Latency. ⏱️🧱 In the world of pure DeFi, a latency of a couple of seconds is unpleasant, but not necessarily critical. In the world of robotics, a 500ms latency means a crashed drone, a broken component, or even a production accident. Physics doesn't wait for block confirmation. The @konnex_world team is currently preparing to make a technological breakthrough by developing a hybrid architecture. Let's see how it works: 1. Local "intelligence" (Edge AI) Instead of waiting for commands from the cloud or blockchain, the robot uses the VLAS-LLM architecture directly onboard. This allows the machine to make decisions in real time, instantly analyzing the space and context of the task. The robot operates autonomously here and now. 2. Separation of Execution and Verification Konnex separates two processes: 2.1. Action: Executed locally and instantly (milliseconds). 2.2. Validation: The result of the work is packaged into a cryptographic proof and sent to the network. 3. Proof of Physical Work (PoPW) Konnex doesn't use blockchain to control the robot's movements. It is needed to record the fact that the work has been completed. This is the perfect balance: physics remains fast, while cryptography ensures transparency of payments and trust between the client and the contractor. Result: Konnex solves the main dilemma: how to maintain the decentralization and security of Web3 without sacrificing the speed required for the real world. This is the "missing layer" that will transform isolated hardware into a global, instantly responsive machine economy. Do you think PoPW will become the new standard for the Industrial Internet of Things? Let us know in the comments! 👇 #DevCommunity #TechDeepDive #AI #Robotics #DePIN #Web3Engineering

#BuildInPublic — Week 11 (2026) Big moves this week as we transition from building the pipes to scaling the flow. We’ve officially cleared Milestone 1 with @iEx_ec, marking the completion of our core development phase for verifiable compute infrastructure. 🏆 Milestone 1: Approved The foundation is set. With our first iExec development milestone finalized, we are moving into the consumption phase. Our focus shifts to driving usage and spending RLC tokens to power secure, TEE-based rebalancing for our users and institutional partners. 🧠 Intent-Driven Indexing We believe building a portfolio should feel like a conversation, not a coding exercise. We’ve overhauled our Asset Intent Detection: Contextual Logic: The engine now better understands user prompts (e.g., "Apple," "Bitcoin," "XAUT") and maps them to the correct on-chain tickers without relying on rigid, hardcoded lists. Cleaner Portfolios: Implemented a three-layer deduplication filter (UI, Index Definition, and Deployment). No more "ghost" assets or duplicate WBTC addresses clogging up your strategy. Smart Mapping: Removed hardcoded remaps (like ETH -> WETH), allowing the backend to surface the most relevant liquidity candidates dynamically. 🍎 TradFi DeFi: The Dinari Integration The "Mixed Portfolio" dream (Stocks Crypto in one vault) is moving into its next iteration. V2 Migration: We’re in active sync with the @DinariGlobal team to migrate our smart contracts to their V2 infrastructure. Human-Readable Assets: We’ve mapped Dinari tickers (AAPL.D) to common stock names and categories. You’ll soon be able to target assets by "Tags" rather than memorizing tickers. 🛠️ Infrastructure Hardening Mainnet is live, and we’re making sure it stays healthy: RLC Liquidity Guard: Added an automated monitor for our iExec workers. If the RLC balance for compute gas drops, the system now triggers an instant alert to prevent rebalancing downtime. Socket Resilience: Resolved intermittent ECONNRESET issues by optimizing our API calling structure, ensuring high-frequency requests don't hang during volatile market moves. Verified Rebalancing: Successfully executed automated rebalance cycles for the Top 5 Tokens (Arbitrum) and our BSC–Arbitrum cross-chain index. The infrastructure is maturing. The assets are diversifying. Step by step. #NEXProtocol #DeFi #Web3Engineering #iExec #Dinari #BuildInPublic

#BuildInPublic — Week 8 (2026) This week was about eliminating the "silent failures" that plague cross-chain deployments and tightening the integration between our off-chain compute and on-chain state. No fluff—just hardening the infrastructure. ⛓️ RPC Resilience & Transaction Lifecycle Ethereum Mainnet remains the ultimate boss fight for sequential contract deployments. We’ve moved away from standard provider assumptions to a more aggressive management style: Logic-Based Retries: Implemented a custom retry loop specifically for unbroadcasted transactions and "no-response" RPC states. If a deployment doesn't hit the mempool within a specific window, the system now forces a re-submission rather than hanging the user session. Provider Redundancy: Integrated QuickNode alongside Alchemy, utilizing Gzip compression to reduce payload latency and ensuring we have failover endpoints for high-congestion periods. Root Cause Analysis: Formally documented the "Ethereum Mainnet Transaction Delay" issue—analyzing how sequential dependency calls break when gas spikes or RPC nodes lag. 🧠 Verifiable Compute: The Arbitrum Migration Our iApp (Institutional App) has officially migrated from Bellecour to Arbitrum Sepolia to align with our production scaling strategy. TEE Data Serialization: Resolved I/O errors between the Cron API and the iExec SDK by moving to Base64 encoded payloads. This ensures the TEE can reliably parse input arguments for rebalancing logic without stringification artifacts. 🛠️ Infrastructure & State Management Redis Keyspace Notifications: Enabled notifications for the WebSocket layer instead of polling. Automated Vault Upgrades: Wrote and executed a Solidity script to batch-upgrade legacy FeeVault contracts. This ensures all historical vaults are compatible with our new automated distribution logic. CCIP Cost Modeling: Finalized a comparative analysis of Chainlink CCIP transaction costs across 6 chains to optimize our "Burn & Mint" paths for the BYOI (Bring Your Own Index) flow. The infrastructure is becoming more deterministic. The edge cases are being closed. Step by step. #NEXProtocol #DeFi #Web3Engineering #iExec #Ethereum #BuildInPublic

#BuildInPublic — Week 7 (2026) This week was all about hardening the data layer and ensuring our cross-chain infrastructure is as transparent as possible. 💧 Precision Liquidity Routing While we value decentralized indexing, we found that certain subgraphs often provided stale liquidity data. To ensure execution precision, we’ve integrated Dexscreener’s API directly into our pipeline. 🌉 CCIP Real-Time Transparency Cross-chain transactions shouldn't be a "black box." We’ve officially integrated the Chainlink CCIP status API. Users can now track source and destination chain states in real-time via color-coded status pills and tooltips. 🛡️ Resilience & Retries RPC drops shouldn't break your deployment. We implemented a new Nonce Manager and Auto-Retry logic. If a transaction fails due to an RPC error during index creation, the system now automatically retries the call, maintaining a "pending" status rather than failing the user's session. 🔒 Institutional Compute (iExec TEE) Our verifiable off-chain compute infrastructure is advancing. The integration between the Cron API and the iExec SDK is live. Our dApp is successfully identifying workers, triggering input parameters, and creating Deals/Tasks on the Bellecour (next up Arbitrum) explorer. Step by step. #NEXProtocol #DeFi #Web3Engineering #Chainlink #iExec #BuildInPublic

#BuildInPublic — Week 6 (2026) 🏗️ This week was dedicated to stress-testing the Vibe Trade tool and hardening the logic for autonomous rebalancing. We’re moving closer to a "set and forget" infrastructure for decentralized portfolios. Rebalancing Automation & Infrastructure ⚖️The core engine for autonomous indices saw major upgrades this week: Functions Oracle Upgrade: Resolved a critical bug where assets were being duplicated during rebalancing cycles. The logic now correctly maps and settles weights. Live Multi-Chain Testing: Successfully executed automated rebalances on live portfolios across Arbitrum, BSC, and Avalanche. Fee Distributor Live: The fee distribution logic is officially merged into production—revenue flows are now automated alongside portfolio management. Institutional Precision (iExec TEE) 🔐We are pushing the boundaries of verifiable off-chain computation. iApp Deployment: Successfully deployed our Institutional App (iApp) for rebalancing. This moves sensitive re-weighting logic into Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) for higher security. SDK & Cron Integration: Integrated the iExec SDK to handle automatic re-weighting via a specialized API. The "Worker" Challenge: Currently debugging app-worker discovery in the live environment—ensuring the decentralized infrastructure can always find a secure node to execute the rebalance. Data Hardening 🛠️Fixing the "small" details that break the user experience: Market Cap Mapping: Resolved issues where certain wrapped assets (like WBTC on Arbitrum) showed "Market Cap: N/A." We’ve implemented mapping to original assets to ensure these tokens can be used in weight-based portfolios. Cross-Chain Native Fixes: Updated gas and swap paths for Polygon (WETH to WPOL) and WMATIC to ensure "Mint" and "Burn" transactions don't fail during high-volatility periods. Vibe Trade Validation 🌐Beyond the code, we’re putting the tool through the ringer: Verified index creation and minting for complex multi-chain baskets (e.g., an index spanning 5 different networks simultaneously). Confirmed that data, descriptions, and logos now populate instantly on the dashboard without lag. The automation is getting smarter. The infrastructure is getting tougher. #NEXProtocol #DeFi #Web3Engineering #iExec #BuildInPublic

Gm Fam ☕️☕️☀️ in the old internet, building something was like adding an elevator to a finished building; value mechanics were always patched on later. With @ClusterProtocol , this flow is fundamentally changing. In the vision we shared, idea, build, and asset are now unified in a single cell. An asset isn't just a token ; it's the ownership, access, and reward mechanism embedded within the product. When this integrity is achieved, incentive loops reach a speed that traditional products can never match. Capital markets now live within the code, not just on exchanges. @CodeXero_xyz #ClusterProtocol #InternetOfAssets #Web3Engineering #ValueMechanics

🚀 #BuildInPublic — Week 5 (2026) Today we officially go live with our public build page! app.nexlabs.io/build No polished marketing layer — just real building, real progress, and the engineering behind NEX shared openly. Here’s what happened this week 👇 We’re moving deeper into autonomous index infrastructure. Rebalancing automation evolved significantly: • Refactored multicall execution to MPC wallets • Updated rebalancing logic to match new APIs • Fee distributor merged with automation flows • LI.FI integrated for cross-chain fee bridging The goal is simple: indices that maintain themselves across chains without manual intervention. 🌐 Multi-chain infrastructure keeps expanding. We added cross-chain balance tracking across Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Base, BSC, and OP — plus new APIs for monitoring pending BYOI transactions via subgraphs. Less black boxes. More transparency. 🔐 iExec TEE exploration has started. We deployed initial iApp infrastructure, connected Docker workflows, and began testing rebalancing logic inside trusted execution environments. This is early — but important. Verifiable off-chain computation is a key step toward autonomous intelligence. 📊 Institutional index tooling is taking shape. • New interface for creating institutional-grade indices • Improved token selector with chain liquidity awareness • Expanded asset database (including commodities like Silver) • First institutional prototype index: ICYX We’re not just building indices — we’re building infrastructure for programmable portfolios. — This is only the beginning. We build in public. #NEXProtocol #DeFi #Web3Engineering #AI #BuildInPublic

#BuildInPublic — Week 4 (2026) This week’s focus was on hardening our infrastructure and deepening the data layer. We’re moving steadily toward a more robust, production-ready environment. Deepening AI Context 🧠 We are currently working on increasing the AI’s understanding of the market. By integrating CoinGecko metadata (descriptions and categories) (in addition to the existing coinmarketcap data), the agent now has more qualitative data to work with. -> Moving toward true thematic intelligence for index selection Multi-Chain Footprint 🌐 BYOI contracts are now deployed and tested across 6 major networks: Base, BSC, Polygon, Ethereum, Avalanche, and OP. Hardening the Core 🛡️ Security: Transferred all BYOI contract ownership to multisig and introduced an operator structure to separate deployment tasks from protocol governance. Tracking: Implemented Chainlink CCIP status tracking in the UI. Users can now see the real-time state of cross-chain transactions, reducing the "black box" friction of moving assets between chains. Reliability: Merged the BYOI stock multicall and integrated the Thirdweb engine for more reliable automated execution. Fixes & UX ✨ Squashed DFI pricing bugs and refined rebalance logic for indices with zero initial trade volume. Added a scrollable Side Summary Bar and automated tab switching to keep the interface clean during active transactions. Step by step. 🛠️ #NEXProtocol #DeFi #Web3Engineering #Chainlink #AI

#BuildInPublic — Week 3 (2026) Focusing on transparency and cross-chain clarity. The goal: a seamless, "no-guesswork" experience for index creators. Frontend CCIP Status Tracker: Real-time visibility into "Sending" vs "Delivered" states for cross-chain transactions directly in the UI. Instant Index Visibility: Data, descriptions, and logos now populate immediately upon creation—zero "blank state" lag. Mobile-First UX: Vault cards and index details now have full parity on mobile with dynamic font scaling for symbols. UI Polish: Added descriptive tooltips and refined trading info for better user guidance. Infra/SC Safe Nonce Management: Implemented a wrapper to handle parallel wallet requests, squashing "nonce too low" errors for good. Deployment Speed: Optimized FeeVault APIs and bypassed redundant verification to significantly accelerate index creation. Pricing Logic: Finalized backend systems for real-time index token pricing and automated asset categorization. The Final Stretch We’re currently finalizing swap flows and wrapping up internal testing. #NEXProtocol #BuildInPublic #Crypto #DeFi #Web3Engineering

Tại sao hạ tầng thôi là chưa đủ để xây dựng một Trading Venue thực thụ ? ------------------------------------------------ Nhiều người lầm tưởng rằng chỉ cần chọn một blockchain nhanh là có ngay một sàn giao dịch tốt. Thực tế, như Alyssa Ponzo đã chia sẻ, hạ tầng chỉ là điểm khởi đầu. Sự khác biệt nằm ở cách chúng ta đưa ra những "quyết định có tính định hướng" (opinionated decisions) về cách thức giao dịch vận hành. Thách thức của General-purpose Blockchains: Khi xây dựng trên các chuỗi khối đa mục đích, các nhà phát triển thường phải tìm cách tối ưu hóa để vượt qua những giới hạn kỹ thuật. Decibel sử dụng mô hình gửi lệnh bất đối xứng (async order submission model) để đạt được các lợi thế về hiệu năng tương tự như các App-chain chuyên biệt. Xây dựng một "Lớp thanh khoản" (Liquidity Layer): Thay vì chỉ tập trung vào code, tầm nhìn của Decibel là xây dựng một doanh nghiệp tài chính. Điều này đòi hỏi sự kết nối giữa các doanh nhân thông minh, các nhà tạo lập thị trường và hệ thống phí/spread hợp lý để tất cả các bên tham gia đều có lợi nhuận. Mục tiêu tối thượng của Decibel: * Đưa các nhà tạo lập thị trường tổ chức (Institutional market makers) lên on-chain. * Thực hiện giao dịch trực tiếp từ Vault (kho lưu trữ an toàn). * Xây dựng một giao diện (Front-end) với trải nghiệm người dùng (UX) xuất sắc. Sức mạnh của một đội ngũ thống nhất: Xây dựng đồng thời cả hạ tầng hợp đồng thông minh lẫn chiến lược tiếp cận thị trường (Go-to-market) là một bài toán cực khó. Tuy nhiên, việc có một đội ngũ duy nhất cùng nhìn về một hướng, thay vì phụ thuộc vào các nhóm kỹ năng rời rạc, chính là chìa khóa để hiện thực hóa những mục tiêu tham vọng này. Tầm nhìn của Decibel không chỉ dừng lại ở việc tạo ra một công cụ giao dịch, mà là định nghĩa lại cách dòng vốn tổ chức vận hành on-chain một cách hiệu quả và minh bạch nhất trên hệ sinh thái Aptos. @Aptos @DecibelTrade @Decibel_VN #Decibel #Aptos #DeFi #TradingInfrastructure #OnChainLiquidity #Web3Engineering
