Cult Launches Blockchain Powered by $XION to Make Crypto Disappear

Published

on

XION, fueled by the strength of its cult-like community and a penchant for innovation, blends revolutionary blockchain infrastructure with relevant cultural instincts to make crypto both seamless and approachable

NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — XION, the first walletless blockchain purpose-built for mainstream adoption, and often referred to as a cult, is setting the stage for a crypto revolution with the official mainnet launch of its cutting-edge blockchain. Propelled by a strategic $25 million fundraise in April, XION blazed through its development milestones, emerging as a game-changer poised to accelerate the adoption of blockchain-based applications. Purposefully designed for real-world integration, XION is the ultimate Layer-1 (L1) solution, enabling frictionless products to be built through its abstractions and bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3 experiences.

What truly sets XION apart from other typical infrastructure companies is its bold commitment to stripping away the complexity of crypto, while amassing a cult-like following and building a strong culturally relevant brand identity. This intersection of technology and culture is rare and is on full display in its recently launched startup competition, the BELIEVATHON, which included both a cutting-edge zero-knowledge & privacy track, as well as a Ponzi scheme track.

“XION isn’t just another blockchain—it’s the spark igniting a revolution both metaphorically and historically,” said Burnt Banksy, Founder of Burnt and Core Contributor to XION. “We’ve built a platform that lets the magic of crypto burn brightly behind the scenes, free of the usual mess and complexity. This isn’t about playing catch-up with competitors but fueling innovation, breaking boundaries, and setting the blockchain world ablaze with possibilities. With XION, crypto becomes so seamless it’s almost invisible. We’re stoking the flames of a future where blockchain is naturally integrated into everything we do.”

With the mainnet launch, and true to its brand, XION introduces an innovative airdrop mechanism, “Double or Nothing,” where eligible participants can opt to potentially double – or lose – their airdrop rewards through a gamified spinning wheel feature. Qualification for the “Believe in Something” airdrop was based on various criteria, including user testnet participation, partner community involvement, and ecosystem alignment. Up to 5% of the total $XION token supply was allocated, currently worth over $50M, with 69% going directly to the XION community and the remaining 31% distributed between communities and industry participants who have demonstrated their clear belief in the community.

Showcasing real-world use cases, EarnOS, a consumer application built on XION, attracted over 100,000 users from 159 countries within the first 72 hours of its launch, highlighting XION’s global appeal and practical utility. Brands like Uber, Baskin Robbins, The North Face, Sunglass Hut, Lacoste, and others are seeing hugely successful results from the ad campaigns they’re running as nearly tripling several of the brands’ X followings. Outside of Web2 companies utilizing XION, its ecosystem of 200+ integrations also includes working closely with Injective, Sei, and Pyth and expanding its chain abstraction to Solana, BNB, and AVAX among many others.

Backed by visionary investors like Multicoin, Circle Ventures, Animoca, and Spartan, XION’s rapid momentum is driven by its vibrant and passionate community —a dynamic network of innovators, believers, and builders united by a shared vision of a simpler, more accessible blockchain future. XION boasts over 4,000,000 active on-chain wallets, reflecting the community’s trust, engagement, and belief in the protocol’s mission. XION’s pioneering use of USDC as its primary transactional currency further enhances this collective strength, simplifying interactions and further delivering a seamless, familiar user experience to non-crypto native users. From early adopters to new enthusiasts, the XION community embodies the spirit of collaboration and empowerment, ensuring that XION isn’t just a blockchain—it’s a cult burning with unrelenting passion, fanning the flames of a Web3 movement that’s set to reshape an increasingly digital future.

About XION
XION is the first walletless layer one blockchain purpose-built for consumer adoption through crypto abstraction. Utilizing protocol-level implementations related to abstracted accounts, signatures, fees, interoperability, and more, XION enables secure, intuitive, and seamless user experiences. The project has previously raised over $36M from top-tier investors, including Animoca, Circle Ventures, Multicoin, Draper Dragon, Spartan, and more.

ATTACK SHARK Unveils RS6 ULTRA, a Flagship Esports Mouse Featuring Its Proprietary Magnetic Hot-Swappable Battery Technology

Published

on

By

NEW YORK , July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gaming peripheral brand ATTACK SHARK has announced the upcoming launch of the RS6 ULTRA, its most advanced wireless gaming mouse to date. Designed for competitive FPS players and the premium esports peripheral market, the new model combines a lightweight carbon fiber structure, flagship sensing technology, low-latency wireless performance, and a magnetic hot-swappable battery system.

The RS6 ULTRA’s magnetic hot-swappable battery system is designed to eliminate the compromises associated with conventional wireless gaming mice. Unlike integrated lithium battery designs that require wired charging and eventually suffer from battery aging, or conventional removable battery systems that depend on battery doors and latch mechanisms, the RS6 ULTRA features a proprietary magnetic alignment design with gold-plated contacts, enabling fast, tool-free battery replacement without disrupting wireless operation. Its dual-battery system further ensures uninterrupted gameplay by allowing one battery to power the mouse while the included 8K receiver simultaneously charges the spare, providing continuous wireless performance and a longer product lifecycle through easily replaceable batteries.

Another key feature is ATTACK SHARK’s patented adjustable sensor positioning system. Five mechanical adjustment positions allow players to customize sensor placement to suit hand size, grip style, and aiming preference. This personalized alignment is designed to support more consistent aiming and reduce tracking deviation during rapid movements.

The RS6 ULTRA is powered by a customized PixArt PAW3955MAX sensor and the latest Nordic nRF54L15 wireless MCU, delivering the performance demanded by today’s competitive FPS players. The sensor natively supports polling rates of up to 8,000Hz (8K), as well as 1-DPI incremental adjustment for precise sensitivity control. With up to 52,000 DPI, 850 IPS tracking speed, 75G acceleration, and five adjustable lift-off distance settings, it ensures exceptional tracking accuracy and responsiveness during rapid flick shots, precise target acquisition, and high-speed movement in fast-paced titles such as VALORANT, Counter-Strike 2, and Apex Legends.

Built on the Nordic nRF54L15 platform, the RS6 ULTRA delivers enhanced scanning performance, wireless stability, and power efficiency. At a 1,000Hz polling rate, it provides up to 800 hours of battery life, reducing charging interruptions during extended training and competition. The combination of stable wireless connectivity and long endurance allows players to stay focused on performance rather than power management.

Complementing the hardware, ATTACK SHARK’s proprietary wireless transmission technology delivers button latency of less than 0.168 milliseconds in 8K mode, helping ensure that every click is transmitted with exceptional speed and consistency. The shark fin-inspired 8K receiver features an extended antenna for improved signal strength, along with LED indicators for connection status, polling rate, and battery level. Together, these technologies make the RS6 ULTRA a wireless flagship solution for fast-paced competitive shooters, providing the responsiveness and reliability demanded by players of VALORANT, Counter-Strike 2, and Apex Legends.

The RS6 ULTRA features a carbon fiber hybrid injection-molded chassis with a ventilated hollow-shell design that balances low weight, structural strength, comfort, and heat dissipation during extended gaming sessions. A glass-like cooling surface treatment helps reduce discomfort caused by perspiration, while a CNC-machined metal scroll wheel and anodized components improve durability and wear resistance.

Built for serious FPS competitors and enthusiasts, the RS6 ULTRA delivers precision, responsiveness, customization, and endurance expected from a flagship esports mouse.

EnKash Introduces India’s First Meal Card with UPI Payments

Published

By

EnKash extends its UPI capabilities to meal card allowances, combining the convenience of UPI, the reach of RuPay, and tax-efficient employee benefits.

MUMBAI, India, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EnKash, India’s leading business payments and spend management platform, today announced the launch of UPI-based payments on its Meal Card. With this addition, employees can make payments directly from their meal card balance by scanning eligible UPI QR codes at food and grocery merchants.

This makes EnKash the first provider in India to enable UPI payments directly from a meal benefit balance.

The new capability extends the UPI infrastructure that EnKash already offers across its Prepaid Payment Instrument portfolio. It brings the familiarity and convenience of UPI to structured meal benefits, allowing employees to use their meal allowance through a payment method that has become a part of everyday life in India.

The timing is also significant. Under the revised Income-tax reforms, eligible meal benefits of up to ₹200 per meal are available under both the old and new tax regimes, subject to prescribed conditions. Employees can receive up to ₹1,05,600 annually as a tax-free meal benefit. For HR teams, this makes meal benefits more inclusive, valuable and easier to offer across the workforce.

The solution combines:

UPI-based scan-and-pay convenienceLargest acceptance infrastructure of RuPayMerchant category-based spending controlsPhysical and virtual meal cardsReal-time transaction visibilityCentralised card issuance, loading and management for employers

Employers can issue cards, load meal balances, set spending controls and track transactions through a centralised platform. Merchant category controls help ensure that the meal balance is used only for eligible expenses.

“Employee benefits should be as seamless as everyday payments. By bringing UPI to meal benefits, we’re enabling employees to pay the way they already do while helping employers deliver a simpler and more digital-first experience,” said Priya Sharma, Head of Product at EnKash.

“This launch brings together the power of RuPay, the familiarity of UPI and the tax efficiency of meal benefits. It also reflects the strength of the payments stack EnKash has already built across its PPI products.”

The UPI-enabled Meal Card is supported by EnKash’s existing payments and prepaid infrastructure. The company already provides UPI-based payment capabilities across its prepaid products and also offers businesses a wider payments suite covering prepaid cards, employee benefits, expense management, petty cash, corporate payments, payment gateway, and rewards.

About EnKash

EnKash is India’s first full-stack payments and spend management platform, empowering 5,000+ businesses to automate payments, expenses, and employee benefits. Holding PA, PPI, and Bharat Connect (BBPOU) licenses, EnKash offers a unified financial orchestration suite backed by $23M in funding. By partnering with leading banks and networks like NPCI and Visa, EnKash delivers secure, scalable solutions that make enterprise financial operations faster, smarter, and fully compliant.
