Stage0 is evolving. What started as a launch layer is becoming something much bigger. Today we’re introducing two new additions to the Stage0 ecosystem on RISE Testnet: ✦ Senna — our agentic assistant for intent-based onchain interactions. ✦ RISE Names — a human-readable identity layer for users, creators, communities, and applications. (e.g. sam.rise, satoshi.rise, apoorv.rise) Soon, interacting with onchain infrastructure won’t require navigating multiple interfaces, copying wallet addresses, or jumping across tools. You’ll simply express intent and the infrastructure handles the execution. This is only the beginning. Launches. Identity. Distribution. Liquidity. All converging into a unified experience on RISE. Welcome to the next chapter of Stage0. Mainnet soon!

locked in on optimist.rise. weRISE always. can't wait for the launch already

I just secured my name on the blockchain

Secured mine, just @stage0_ did a cool update.can't wait for the next upgrade👀

secured mine.. I wanna see more .rise please

Built by the community, for the community. @stage0_ is evolving beyond a launchpad into a full ecosystem layer on RISE, empowering creators, builders, and communities with the tools they need to launch, grow, and scale onchain. Today, Stage0 introduced two major additions to its RISE Testnet ecosystem: 🤖 Senna Senna represents Stage0's first step toward intent based interactions. Instead of navigating through multiple dashboards, menus, and workflows, users can simply communicate what they want to do using natural language, and Senna helps execute those actions. Whether it's creating assets, managing infrastructure, or interacting with Stage0 products, Senna aims to make onchain experiences more intuitive and accessible for everyone. This is only the beginning, but it opens the door to a future where blockchain interactions feel as simple as having a conversation. 🏷️ RISE Names RISE Names brings human readable identities to the RISE ecosystem. Instead of using complex wallet addresses like: 0x7a91...f3c8 Users can register memorable identities such as: • sam.rise • punk.rise • rakesh100.rise These names will become a core layer of identity across Stage0, enabling easier ownership verification, ecosystem participation, distribution, and community recognition. Why This Matters Stage0 originally started as a launch layer, but launching is only one part of building a thriving ecosystem. Strong ecosystems require: ▪️ Identity ▪️ Distribution ▪️ Ownership ▪️ Liquidity ▪️ Great User Experience Senna and RISE Names are important building blocks toward that larger vision. Together, they help make the RISE ecosystem more accessible, more user friendly, and better prepared for the next wave of adoption. Both features are now live on Testnet and open for community testing. stage0.xyz The next chapter of Stage0 has officially begun. Mainnet coming on @risechain.

Stage0 started as a launch layer. The next chapter is bigger. Soon.

RISE x LayerZero. LayerZero is the main bridge for ERC-20 tokens between RISE and Ethereum. The native rollup bridge handles ETH, while LayerZero handles all other assets. Security was the main focus during development, not just a marketing point. Here’s how it works.

A lot is evolving on Stage0 right now. UI. security. launch flows. liquidity pathways. Preparing for what comes with mainnet.

1/ Introducing USDR, RISE's native stablecoin, built on @m0. 100% backed by U.S. Treasury bills. Purpose-built for the RISE ecosystem.

Introducing USDR, RISE’s stablecoin built on M0's modular stablecoin infrastructure. USDR is built for the @risechain ecosystem.

Games. Perps. Infrastructure. The ecosystem is starting to lock in. Stage0 soon.

NFTs are slowly coming back …

While @risextrade is making the most noise right now attracting traders to try out the lightning speeds of orderbook on-chain, the rest of @rise_ecosystem working silently behind the scenes getting things ready for the Mainnet. One of those projects is @Stagezero_ , and while the infrastructural launch layer for @risechain, not too many know started from NFT collection, @RisePunks. What do we know about it? ▪️It is a first NFT collection to appear on RISE chain, bringing NFT culture to the RISE ecosystem. ▪️It now serve as the Genesis NFTs of the Stage0 ecosystem. ▪️Supply: 1234 (2O reserved for the team) ▪️WL is still available for grabs ▪️Mint Model: FCFS ▪️Holders get access to StageZero platform features, like rewards, early access to selective launches, and participation in ecosystem campaigns How do you earn WL? Simply, by staying active in StageZero Discord server -> there are 3 roles: ▪️strain carriers (initial role given to general community members) ▪️Minions (early supporters, active helpers engaging with community) ▪️Infected (users supporting the project the most through genuine contributions) Infected role is the one that gets you WhiteList. Clearly, NFT will have utility, and it isn't just a cool PFP for your profile. As a RisePunk holder, you essentially become the OG to the StageZero ecosystem.

New face, same mission. Making complex financial markets possible with atomic composability. Same state, one block, fully onchain orderbooks. All coming to life on RISE. Explore: risechain.com

With RISE going live, the base layer is set. Stage0 is focused on what sits above it —enabling projects to go from idea to onchain markets.

Did someone say mainnet?

With mainnet on the horizon, Icarus founder @DaedalusIRS sat down with @sam_battenally to talk through what’s coming. Built by DeFi OGs with 9-figure TVL under their belts, now building the liquidity engine of RISE ↓ [thread]
