George Town, Cayman Islands - Toobit, the award-winning global cryptocurrency exchange, today announces the newest addition to its Earn ecosystem: a limited-time 36% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on Solana (SOL).

This initiative follows the successful rollout of several high-utility Earn products, including recent 28.88% APR offers on Ethereum (ETH) and USDT, as well as the 18.88% APR on Bitcoin (BTC). 

Toobit is providing the following subscription window for traders to access this high-yield opportunity:
•	Asset: Solana (SOL)
•	Term: 3 days (Fixed)
•	APR: Up to 36%
•	Campaign period: April 28, 2026, 10 AM UTC – May 1, 2026, 10 AM UTC

Toobit offers two paths for asset growth: Fixed Earn, which locks assets for a set period to secure a guaranteed interest rate, and Flexible Earn, which allows traders to subscribe or redeem assets at any time without a lock-up period. For this Solana event, the Fixed Earn model ensures that both principal and interest are automatically credited to the trader's Spot Account upon maturity.

Traders can monitor active assets and total earnings in real-time through the Earn account dashboard on the Toobit web or the latest version of the mobile app.

The 2026 digital asset landscape has seen Solana transition into a cornerstone of institutional decentralized finance, with the network recently surpassing $2 billion in tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs). Solana maintains a dominant position as a top-tier cryptocurrency by market capitalization, supported by over $1.5 billion in spot Solana ETF inflows since their launch.

_**Pay hub anchors the redesign as wallets evolve into daily-use financial accounts built on blockchain infrastructure**_

Bitget Wallet has made a strategic shift into an all-in-one everyday finance app, refreshing its interface to place payments at the center of the app experience. The move follows the wallet surpassing 90 million users globally, highlighting the need to support more frequent, real-world financial activity at scale. It reflects a broader transition as crypto wallets move beyond investment-led use cases into daily financial accounts for spending, sending, saving, and money management. The shift comes as blockchain-based platforms increasingly challenge traditional banking apps with faster settlement, lower costs, and borderless access.

The update is built around utility-first usage and a simplified approach to onchain finance, following a clear inflection point in crypto payments. Industry data shows stablecoin transactions surpassed $10 trillion in 2025, while spending across major crypto card programs rose 525% year on year, signaling a shift toward real-world use. This trend is reflected in a new Pay hub added to the app’s main navigation, enabling users to spend and move funds with fewer steps through a unified, mobile-first design. 

The Pay hub unifies crypto cards, QR payments, bank transfers, and in-app shopping into a single, front-facing flow, making Bitget Wallet one of the few self-custodial platforms to support all major crypto payment methods in one place. Users can spend crypto globally via cards accepted across Mastercard and Visa networks, pay locally by scanning QR codes, or transfer stablecoins directly to bank accounts where supported. By combining global and local payment options in one app, the wallet gives users the flexibility to pay anywhere while retaining full control of their funds through self-custody.

Central to the update is a streamlined interface designed for frequent use, reducing friction in everyday financial interactions. The redesign introduces Dynamic Panel, a live notification feature that keeps real-time transaction updates visible without disrupting what users are doing. It also adds Today’s View, a new screen accessible with a simple swipe that offers a concise overview of recent activity and commonly used actions. Paired with a cleaner, modular layout, the interface shortens the steps needed to manage funds, helping users complete onchain actions more efficiently.

“People are choosing onchain finance because it’s better aligned with how money needs to work in a digital economy today,” said Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet. “Blockchain removes many of the frictions in traditional finance, including slow settlement, opaque fees, and geographic limits. As stablecoins and self-custodial wallets are increasingly used for everyday needs, our focus is making that experience intuitive, allowing people to save, send and spend money globally in real time. By centering payments and designing the app around simplicity, we’re turning the wallet into a daily crypto account that works like modern banking, but onchain.”

The launch follows a year in which wallet usage shifted steadily toward everyday financial activity. Bitget Wallet data shows stablecoin-based spending and yield grew faster than trading, with card spending rising more than 28-fold year on year and earn subscriptions expanding nearly tenfold. Together, these trends point to a new phase of crypto adoption driven by real-world financial utility.

Tea.xyz has announced their new ecosystem findings highlighting escalating risks across the global open-source software supply chain, warning that 2026 represents a critical inflection point for how open source is built, funded, and secured.

Based on analysis from its real-time dependency graph, which maps millions of open-source packages and their interdependencies, tea.xyz reports a sharp increase in AI-generated code submissions, maintainer burnout, and coordinated supply-chain abuse.

Together, these trends are placing unprecedented pressure on the software infrastructure that underpins the modern Internet in the AI era.

**AI growth outpaces maintainer capacity**

AI-assisted development has dramatically accelerated software output, but review, accountability, and long-term maintenance have not scaled at the same pace. tea.xyz data shows that automated tools now make it trivial to generate pull requests, bug reports, and even entire packages, while validation remains manual, time-intensive, and increasingly unsustainable for maintainers.

This imbalance has been publicly acknowledged by industry leaders. Daniel Stenberg, creator of curl, has documented a sharp rise in low-quality, AI-generated submissions, while maintainers of major projects such as Electron report increasing proposal volumes accompanied by declining signal-to-noise ratios.

A recent GitHub survey of more than 500 open-source maintainers found that spam mitigation and AI-generated “noise” are now emerging as critical operational risks for core infrastructure projects.

**Supply-chain abuse accelerates**

Tea.xyz’s findings align with recent security disclosures pointing to large-scale abuse of public package registries. Amazon security researchers recently identified more than 150,000 malicious npm packages designed to exploit crypto-based incentive systems, generating self-replicating dependency loops that polluted more than 1% of the npm ecosystem.

Earlier this year, the “Shai-Hulud” worm compromised legitimate packages using stolen developer credentials, impacting libraries with billions of weekly downloads.

“These incidents show how easily automated systems can be weaponized against open source,” said Tim Lewis, co-founder of tea.xyz. “Attackers no longer need sophisticated exploits. At scale, automation alone is enough.”

**The maintainer sustainability crisis deepens**

The long-standing “Nebraska Problem”, where widely used digital infrastructure is maintained by underfunded or unpaid individuals, has steadily intensified. Tea.xyz analysis indicates that nearly half of npm packages with more than one million monthly downloads are still maintained by a single person.

Recent examples include the resignation of libxml2’s sole maintainer and temporary development pauses across popular Kubernetes tooling due to burnout and unsustainable workloads. Core projects such as FFmpeg remain chronically underfunded despite their critical role in global media and streaming infrastructure.

“Organizations depend on open source at massive scale, but the responsibility still falls on individuals,” Lewis said, before adding that this kind of mismatch is no longer sustainable.

**Regulatory pressure raises the stakes in 2026**

At the same time, regulatory initiatives such as U.S. Executive Order 14028, NIST’s Secure Software Development Framework, and CISA’s Open Source Software Security Roadmap are increasing expectations for auditable, transparent software supply chains.

According to recent Linux Foundation research, most organizations lack the governance structures required to safely manage their open-source dependencies, even as those dependencies power mission-critical systems across finance, healthcare, and government.

By addressing sustainability and accountability at the infrastructure layer, tea.xyz aims to help developers, maintainers, and enterprises navigate the growing complexity of open-source software in an AI-driven environment.

“Open source isn’t failing,” Lewis added. “But it is changing. The systems that supported it for decades need to evolve, and in 2026, that reality becomes unavoidable.”

**About tea.xyz**

Founded by Tim Lewis and Max Howell, the tea Protocol is a decentralized technology framework designed to secure and sustain the open-source ecosystem in the AI era. It addresses the long-standing “Nebraska Problem,” where critical software relied upon by millions is often maintained by a small number of underfunded, unrecognized contributors.

tea maps the global open-source ecosystem through a real-time dependency graph, revealing which projects form the deepest and most essential layers of the software stack. Through reputation-based systems and aligned economic incentives, tea enables developers and maintainers to earn rewards proportional to the real-world impact of their contributions, while improving transparency, accountability, and software supply-chain security.

As AI accelerates software creation and deployment, tea extends beyond dependency mapping to support secure, verifiable distribution of open-source software, ensuring provenance, trust, and resilience at scale.

By applying decentralized and web3-native principles to open source, tea is building foundational infrastructure to protect contributors, strengthen security, and support the next generation of internet software.

Changelly and ONTO Wallet, two established Web3 leaders, have partnered to bring cross-chain swaps directly into the wallet experience. By combining ONTO Wallet’s multi-chain, self-custodial environment with Changelly’s exchange infrastructure, users can now swap assets inside the wallet without altering how custody or security is managed.

The integration is now live globally, alongside a launch campaign running from January 19 to January 29, 2025 (08:00 UTC), offering 5,400 USDT in total rewards to ONTO users who trade via Changelly.

**Swaps and cross-chain transfers, now native to ONTO Wallet**

With the new integration, ONTO Wallet users can swap and bridge digital assets directly inside the wallet, without redirecting to external exchanges or third-party apps.

The swap functionality supports more than 1,000 cryptocurrencies across 185 blockchains, giving users access to a wide range of assets and networks from a single interface. Transactions are executed from within the wallet, while users retain full control over their funds, in line with ONTO Wallet’s self-custodial design.

The goal of the integration is practical: reduce the steps required to move assets across chains and make everyday swaps easier to complete inside the wallet environment.

**The launch campaign: How ONTO users can win 5,400 USDT**

To support the rollout, ONTO Wallet and Changelly are introducing a trading campaign designed to reward both active traders and everyday users exploring the new in-wallet swap functionality.

Running from January 19 (08:00 UTC) to January 29, 2025, the campaign features a total reward pool of 5,400 USDT for users who complete swaps or bridge transactions via Changelly inside the ONTO Multi-Chain Wallet.

**How to participate**

Users have two options for participating in the campaign:

**Trading competition (5,000 USDT)**

Users are ranked by total trading volume during the campaign period. The top 10 participants, as calculated by Decentralized Identity (DID), will share a 5,000 USDT reward pool, distributed proportionally based on their trading activity.

**Lucky draw (400 USDT)**

Users who reach a minimum trading volume of 100 USDT automatically qualify for the lucky draw. At the end of the campaign, 20 participants will be selected to receive 20 USDT each.

Trading volumes are aggregated by DID, meaning users operating multiple wallet addresses under the same identity are counted as a single participant. Rewards will be calculated and distributed automatically after the campaign ends, with the final results announced within three business days.

Full campaign mechanics and eligibility details are available on ONTO’s official website.

**A shared focus on practical Web3 tools**

For both teams, this partnership reflects a shared view of how Web3 products should evolve: by integrating reliable infrastructure into tools that users already rely on, rather than introducing new layers of complexity.

“Most users don’t want to jump between platforms just to move assets. This integration is about reducing those steps and letting swaps happen where users already manage their crypto: inside their wallet, on their own terms.” — John Khandjian, Chief Growth Officer at Changelly.

“This integration is about making everyday Web3 actions simpler without changing how users manage control. By bringing cross-chain swaps directly into the wallet, we’re reducing friction while keeping self-custody and security exactly where they belong: with the user.” — Geoff Richards, Chief Communications Officer, ONTO Wallet.

By combining ONTO Wallet’s multi-chain wallet environment with Changelly’s exchange infrastructure, the collaboration aims to make swaps and cross-chain transfers a natural part of everyday wallet use, without changing how users manage custody or security.
