Nook has reached a new milestone today in customer trust. $1B in transactions through Nook. This includes Deposits, Withdraws and Rebalances. We are excited about this because, like all big things, Nook started at 0.

We are delighted to announce that Agant is partnering with @ClearJunction to support institutional access to GBPA, our pound sterling stablecoin. Clear Junction Digital Limited, the Group’s FCA-registered cryptoasset business, will act as a distribution partner for GBPA, with Clear Junction Limited, the Group's payment solution provider and authorised electronic money institution, supporting the fiat GBP payment flows required for issuance and redemption. This opens a clear route between fiat GBP and GBPA for institutional and business clients across payments, settlement, treasury, and other use cases. Read more about this partnership in our release 👇 agant.io/news/agant-cle…

RX6 deployed today RX7 design finished yesterday and will deploy in two months

Update: Nook continues to grow and scale. Including our newly appointed CTO, @TheLarryWei After leading engineering teams at Uber and Meta, Larry operates from a deep experience of helping teams build quality at scale. With tens of thousands of Nook users, and over $500M in transactions across accounts - Larry has faced our scaling and quality challenges head on. We are excited for Larry to keep leading the way as we build and strengthen the technical foundation at Nook. ✳️

A direct tailwind for #GBPA. We're ready.

NEW: The UK's FCA clears asset managers to run fund registers on blockchain and process subscriptions directly onchain under existing rules, giving tokenized funds a clear regulatory path without needing separate experimental structures.

Crypto VC: I didn’t hear no bell x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

We’re officially out of stealth. Ethereum is the most powerful financial computer. But the way blocks work today still limits what can actually be executed. Eureka Labs is changing that. We’re turning blocks into programmable execution environments - where capital, computation, and execution logic live inside the block itself. This is just the beginning. theblock.co/post/394923/et…

Why are we excited to back @EurekaBuilder? Making blocks programmable (not just smart contracts) creates tons of new use cases. One new use case we're excited about is allowing anyone who holds DeFi receipt tokens (e.g. Uniswap LP tokens, Aave aTokens) to earn additional 4-5% yield on top by lending those receipt tokens to MEV searchers uncollateralized within the same block. Similar to how lending on Morpho v1 was strictly better than lending on Aave, lending on Eureka will be strictly better than any underlying DeFi protocol (Uniswap, Aave, Morpho, etc.). Plus they bought an entire Ethereum block #24,729,136 for the announcement: ethblock.link/?block=24729136

To celebrate us coming out of stealth as block builders we decided to buy a whole Ethereum block just for the announcement - ethblock.link/?block=24729136

We’re pleased to share that Agant is now a registered cryptoasset business with the UK Financial Conduct Authority under the Money Laundering Regulations. This is a key step in our vision to enhance money, bringing us closer to issuing GBPA, our fully backed GBP stablecoin designed for institutional use cases. A well-designed GBP stablecoin can unlock innovation across payments, settlement and tokenised assets. We’re excited to be at the forefront of this innovation in the UK along with our partners Read our press release here - agant.io/news/agant-fca…
