PANews posted on X (formerly Twitter) about the unexpected popularity of Moltbot, previously known as Clawdbot, which has captured widespread attention recently. The founder, @steipete, revealed in a conversation with @tbpn that the project was not a team effort but rather a personal endeavor born out of burnout.

Following its viral success, the project faced a surge of security emails, an overwhelmed Discord server, and a request from Anthropic to change its name. The renaming process was even disrupted by script bots attempting to hijack the account, adding to the drama.

AetheriumX, a Web3 project based on the Distributed Capital Intelligence Protocol (DCIP), announced the completion of an $8 million strategic funding round. This round was jointly conducted by CGV, GAINS Associates, DuckDAO, and Genesis Capital, marking AetheriumX's official entry into a strategic development phase centered on ecosystem-driven growth. AetheriumX stated that the funds will be primarily used for the following: first, continuously optimizing the Distributed Capital Intelligence Protocol (DCIP) and its strategy execution network, and expanding core modules such as DeFi, GameFi, prediction markets, and the creator economy; second, launching and accelerating an ecosystem fund to support the incubation and growth of developers, studios, and community nodes; and third, advancing its ecosystem layout in the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on the Japanese and South Korean markets, and strengthening community building and regional cooperation. The project team emphasized that AetheriumX is committed to building a long-term, sustainable, and truly participatory Web3 ecosystem, rather than relying on a growth model based on short-term incentives. Unlike traditional single-revenue platforms, AetheriumX is a composable and evolvable on-chain interactive growth system built on DCIP. Through a programmable strategy execution layer, it transforms passive revenue into a continuously engaging ecosystem growth process. In its ecosystem design, AetheriumX adopts a dual-token structure: AXT is primarily used for ecosystem participation and strategy execution mapping, while VEXA handles governance, risk control, and ecosystem collaboration to support long-term collaboration and stable system operation. The AetheriumX team stated that from the project's inception, it was designed around auditability, governance, and scalability to ensure that revenue, participation, and governance processes are all verifiable on-chain. This round of strategic financing will further solidify its infrastructure, connecting more developers, creators, and community contributors. 2026 will mark the official launch of AetheriumX's ecosystem strategy, propelling the project from the basic validation phase to large-scale ecosystem expansion.
