Dubai, UAE, May 15th, 2025, Chainwire

Falcon Finance, a next-generation synthetic dollar protocol backed by DWF Labs, announced it has surpassed $350 million in circulating supply of its overcollateralized digital asset, USDf. This milestone underscores the protocol’s rapid ascent within two weeks from public launch as a credible, transparent, and scalable solution for on-chain dollar demand. 

The announcement follows a strong wave of adoption since Falcon’s public launch, building on momentum two weeks from a successful closed beta that accumulated over $200 million in Total Value Locked (TVL). USDf is now actively minted, staked, and traded across Ethereum, with liquidity available on leading decentralized exchanges including Uniswap, Curve, and Balancer, as well as centralized platforms such as Bitfinex.

“This achievement reflects both user confidence and market demand for secure, yield-generating digital dollars,” said Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner at Falcon Finance. “In surpassing $350 million, Falcon reinforces its role as a core building block for the future of programmable finance.”

The growth in USDf circulation also comes shortly after the launch of Falcon’s transparency page, which offers users full visibility into the protocol’s collateral composition, reserve distribution, and third-party audit data. This includes breakdowns of reserves held with institutional-grade custodians through Fireblocks and Ceffu, mirrored trading positions on centralized exchanges, and on-chain deployment across staking and liquidity protocols.

Falcon Finance’s design emphasizes asset safety and operational transparency, with the majority of reserves secured in MPC-based wallets and subject to quarterly third-party attestations. The protocol’s first audit reports from Zellic and Pashov Audit Group were first released in Q1 2025, with additional reports scheduled on a rolling basis.

USDf can be minted using a wide range of collateral, including USDT, USDC, ETH, BTC, SOL, TON, NEAR, and other supported tokens. Staked USDf is converted into sUSDf, a yield-bearing asset that offers users approximately 15 percent APY, with the potential for enhanced returns through Falcon’s Boosted Yield NFTs.

As part of its long-term user growth strategy, Falcon also launched Falcon Miles, an ecosystem-wide points program that rewards user activity across minting, staking, and asset holding. The program is set to expand to additional on-chain integrations, including lending markets and tokenized yield protocols, as the Falcon ecosystem continues to evolve.

With cross-chain deployments and new collateral integrations underway, Falcon Finance is advancing toward its mission of building a robust foundation for synthetic digital dollars.

LAS VEGAS, United States, September 19th, 2024, Chainwire

Blockchain storage layer Xandeum has announced that it will reveal its blueprint for scaling Solana storage at Breakpoint 2024 on September 20, 2024. At the flagship Solana conference in Singapore, Xandeum will also share details of its new storage-enabled liquid staking program and officially announce the launch of the XAND token.

Designed to overcome the limitations of Solana’s current storage model, Xandeum’s technology will allow dapps to scale by accessing virtually unlimited storage. Solana can be looked at as a “world computer”, and Solana accounts are its “RAM”. At Breakpoint 2024, Xandeum will share its vision for adding the “hard drive” via their scalable storage layer, the missing piece to a full-fledged world computer. This innovation enables a Cambrian Explosion of storage-enabled dapps.

The smart contract native storage layer introduces “Xandeum buckets,” an exabytes+ scalable file system integrated directly into Solana RPC nodes. Storage will be offloaded to a decentralized network of hundreds of thousands of storage provider nodes (pNodes), supervised by Xandeum-enabled Solana validators. pNodes, validators, and liquid stakers will earn additional rewards in SOL, thanks to highly dynamic fee markets designed to optimize storage efficiency and profitability.

“A low-cost, decentralized storage solution will drastically expand the application landscape.” says Tommy Johnson, early Solana builder, co-founder, and lead engineer at Armada. “It can unlock a new revenue stream for SOL validators and stakers. The Xandeum solution will have an enormous impact on the growth of the Solana ecosystem.”

More details of Xandeum’s Solana scaling solution will be shared at Breakpoint 2024. In addition, Xandeum will use the event to announce its storage-enabled liquid staking platform. Scheduled to go live on October 29, the platform will capture future Xandeum storage fees for xandSOL stakers. Early adopters who stake with Xandeum will be eligible for boosted rewards of up to 10x with more details at https://xandeum.network

As an event sponsor, the Xandeum team will have its own booth at Solana Breakpoint 2024 in Singapore, with community members able to learn more about key initiatives including the liquid staking pool, XAND token, and forthcoming airdrops. The first airdrop snapshot will take place on October 8, with the XAND token launch scheduled for October 29.

Xandeum’s development of new storage primitives to enhance Solana’s programming model will solve the issues with the current storage system, known as “accounts,” which has proven insufficient to hold even a few gigabytes per dapp. These limitations threaten to stifle the growth of web3 applications on Solana.

Xandeum lead developer Xandeum Labs has raised $2.8M to build out its scaling solution and has seen significant interest from Solana’s builder community, with over 4B transactions completed on its community-run devnet. Xandeum will support a new wave of scalable web3 dapps while maintaining Solana’s security and decentralization. 

About Xandeum Labs

Xandeum Labs is a web3 startup dedicated to building the scalable storage layer for Solana. As a major contributor to the world’s first storage-enabled liquid staking platform, operated by the XAND DAO, Xandeum has already raised $2.8 million from its community and is on track to launch its pNode network in early 2025.
