Huoxun Finance News, December 12th – PundiAI announced a collaboration with LinqAI, the development team behind the decentralized computing network LinqProtocol, to jointly build a decentralized AI ecosystem driven by trusted data and scalable computing power. PundiAI enables the community to create and validate high-quality AI training data through on-chain traceability and tokenized ownership, while LinqProtocol provides global GPU and CPU resources through a permissionless computing network, running AI tasks at a lower cost than centralized cloud computing. This collaboration will combine PundiAI's verifiable datasets with LinqProtocol's computing network to unlock new use cases requiring high-intensity computing, such as advanced AI agents, inference workloads, simulations, and automation. The shared vision is to empower users to control the value they create, with data belonging to the generator, and computing power transparent and globally distributed. In the future, as both ecosystems expand, more integration, incentive mechanisms, and developer opportunities will be introduced to jointly build a community-driven, open-network-supported AI future.

At the Solana Breakpoint conference, Mike Cagney, co-founder and executive chairman of Figure, stated that Figure has recently submitted a new S-1 application to regulators, planning to issue blockchain-native common stock securities. These blockchain shares will be traded on Figure's proprietary Alternative Trading System (ATS) and can be converted into Figure's Class A common stock at a 1:1 ratio. The securities support self-custody, self-settlement, and self-clearing, and users can participate in trading directly through their wallets. The ATS functions similarly to a decentralized exchange, allowing securities assets to be used in on-chain protocols. Furthermore, blockchain stock holders can also engage in collateralized lending on Democratized Prime, a decentralized finance protocol based on the Provenance blockchain. Cagney further revealed that Figure plans to introduce this equity product into the Solana ecosystem and explore native equity issuance on the Solana network.
