LONG Co-founder Nate (@Natan_benish) tweeted that regardless of market fluctuations or personal circumstances, his long-term conviction in the development of the LONG platform remains unchanged. Nate explicitly stated that the RH chain will continue to advance, and the team will maintain its focus on RWA trading pairs, avoiding the chase for short-term trends with "no other narratives." He emphasized that the LONG ecosystem is still in its early stages, while the current crypto space remains trapped in a zero-sum game mindset.

More progress will be announced next week.

institutional-grade onchain Vault infrastructure R25 has announced an upgrade to version 2.0, opening its previously closed infrastructure to a broader ecosystem. R25 2.0 positions itself as "Vault Infrastructure as a Service," offering asset managers, traders, quant teams, and emerging portfolio managers a one-stop solution for Vault deployment, operations, and scaling.The core change lies in the shift of the issuance threshold: qualified asset managers can configure, deploy, and operate Vault smart contracts in minutes using natural language, greatly lowering the technical barrier to turning curated strategies into composable, transparent smart contracts. R25 2.0 supports building strategies from over 2,000 onchain assets across RWA, Crypto, and DeFi, while preserving institutional-grade transparency and risk control standards; it also offers one-click Vault deployment and AI backtesting, supports access to the global onchain capital network, and connects custodians, exchanges, wallets, fintech/Neobanks, and crypto-native investors. In other words, asset managers only need to define strategy, fee rates, and risk parameters, while contract deployment, asset onboarding, NAV calculation, and capital distribution are handled by R25's modular infrastructure.This open architecture is built on the validation of R25 1.0. The R25 Curator lineup includes Axil, Raffaello, Ember Protocol, among others, with the private credit Vault issued by Axil reaching $130 million in TVL after launch. The production-grade infrastructure supporting such Vaults includes modular Vault architecture, asynchronous deposits and withdrawals, standardized NAV and portfolio accounting, onchain strategy management and execution, configurable fees and risk management, as well as multiple rounds of security audits. R25 2.0 is expected to officially launch in Q4 2026.
