🚨 New Governance Proposal is Live A proposal has been published to authorize the MEXC listing of LCAI, approve the associated listing fees, and fund the market-making liquidity required for launch on the exchange. The proposal — "Authorize MEXC Listing, Associated Fees, and Related Liquidity Provisioning for LCAI" — would authorize a single transfer of 70,000,000 LCAI from the Treasury to Quantum Counsel LLC to fund the fixed costs associated with the MEXC listing, including: - The $50,000 USDT MEXC technical integration fee - The $50,000 USDT MEXC marketing fee - The $23,000 USDT Level Markets (EchoTrade) software subscription - A two-sided market-making liquidity book consisting of approximately $50,000 in LCAI and $50,000 in USDT, as recommended by the market maker for the MEXC listing Any LCAI not required to fund these fixed costs would remain in segregated custody with Quantum Counsel LLC as a reserve for future DAO-approved market-making, exchange listing, or liquidity actions 🧠 Why it matters: Previous DAO proposals authorized exchange liquidity provisioning but specifically reserved approval of the final MEXC listing, listing fees, and related agreements for a separate governance vote. This proposal provides that approval while authorizing a single transfer of 70,000,000 LCAI from the Treasury to fund the MEXC listing fees, the Level Markets (EchoTrade) software subscription, and the required market-making liquidity. Importantly, this proposal does not authorize the EchoTrade sell-and-buy fee module, grant any additional Treasury authority beyond the single approved transfer, or modify the DUNA Agreement or Governing Principles. 🗳️ Review the proposal and be ready to cast your vote. The voting period is expected to begin in approximately 24 hours. dao.lightchain.ai/proposal/0…

🚀 Proposal Executed — Additional Market-Making Liquidity Authorized The proposal — Authorize Additional LCAI Liquidity Provisioning for Market Making — has officially been executed on-chain. 🗳️ DAO Proposal: dao.lightchain.ai/proposal/0… ⛓️Execution: mainnet.lightscan.app/tx/0x5… With this execution, the DAO has authorized the transfer of 28,000,000 LCAI from the Treasury to support an additional $35,000 per side in market-making liquidity for LCAI. This proposal builds upon the previously approved Authorize Exchange Liquidity Provisioning proposal, which established the initial liquidity framework. It authorizes Quantum Counsel LLC to bridge and convert only the amount of LCAI necessary to fund the additional buy-side liquidity in USDT while holding the remaining LCAI for the additional sell-side liquidity. Importantly, this proposal does not approve or amend the market-maker engagement itself, authorize any market-maker fees or compensation, or expand Treasury authority beyond this single-purpose authorization. What this means: - 28,000,000 LCAI has been transferred from the Treasury for this specific purpose - Up to $35,000 in additional buy-side liquidity may be funded through the conversion of LCAI to USDT - Up to $35,000 in additional sell-side liquidity may be provided in LCAI - The actual amount deployed is governed by the $35,000 per side liquidity target rather than the maximum token allocation - Any unused LCAI will be returned to the Treasury and remain available only for future DAO-approved purposes - Quantum Counsel LLC will report the amounts transferred, converted, deposited, and returned in a future report to the Membership This proposal represents another important milestone in preparing LCAI for centralized exchange trading by bringing total market-making liquidity to Echo Trade's recommended target, helping support deeper order books and more orderly trading conditions at launch. Everything remains subject to DAO-approved authority, transparent reporting, and documented governance actions.

🚀 LightChain Testnet Decentralization Upgrade We're removing the last privileged middleman. Today, a single off-chain dispatcher selects which worker runs your job, signs the assignment, and routes everything. After this upgrade, job assignment becomes an on-chain lottery, and workers serve you directly from the chain. 🎲 How it works • Open a session → staked workers check eligibility on-chain → the first eligible worker wins via `claimSession`. • Eligibility is weighted by stake × reputation, with the window widening over time so everyone gets a chance. • The winning worker serves every job in your session directly from on-chain events. No queue. No coordinator. 🔐 Still end-to-end encrypted Your session key is generated in your browser and wrapped to the worker's on-chain key. No relay or API ever sees your prompts in plaintext. 🏆 Reputation matters The new on-chain `ReputationRegistry` rewards reliable workers. Complete jobs to increase your score. Timeouts or lost disputes reduce future selection odds. ✅ What stays the same • SIWE login, gasless submission, and live token streaming. • Chain + blobs remain the source of truth, even if streaming services go down. 🛡️ Safe rollout The upgrade is gated behind `sortitionEnabled` (off by default). Enable it to switch over, disable it for an instant rollback. Storage upgrades are append-only. TL;DR: Job assignment moves from a trusted off-chain dispatcher to a trustless on-chain lottery. More decentralized, reputation-driven, private, with the same developer experience. Next up: We're submitting the upgrade for a final re-audit before mainnet. ⚡ #Build #Lightchain #DecentralizedAI

📢 LCAI Testnet Upgrade — Today Today we're deploying the latest LCAI Testnet upgrade, a major milestone toward a fully decentralized protocol. This release removes the dispatcher from the assignment path and introduces on-chain, stake- and reputation-weighted worker selection (sortition), while improving protocol performance, reliability, and the overall developer experience. ✨ Highlights • Decentralized on-chain worker assignment (sortition) • Permissionless worker self-service architecture • Reputation-weighted worker selection • Improved session lifecycle & gasless consumer flows • Infrastructure and performance improvements 🔜 What's Next? The updated Layer 1 implementation will now be submitted for a full independent security re-audit. Once the audit is successfully completed, we'll proceed with the Mainnet upgrade. We don't have an exact timeline yet, but we'll share one closer to deployment. After the audit passes, we'll also publish the complete technical implementation report covering this upgrade, and the protocol will become fully open source. ⚠️ During the Upgrade Some Testnet services may experience brief downtime or temporary interruptions while the upgrade is being completed. This is expected. 🚀 Prepare for Mainnet Become a Validator docs.lightchain.ai/docs/gett… Run a Worker docs.lightchain.ai/docs/work… Submit your application hub.lightchain.ai Please ensure your application: • Is fully operational • Is accessible via a valid public domain (TLD) • Has been properly tested before submission If you have any development-related questions, please use the appropriate developer channels in our Discord. Thank you for helping us build the future of decentralized AI. 🚀

🚨 BIG NEWS 🚨 $LCAI is now officially trading on @BitMartExchange! 🎉 The LCAI/USDT market is LIVE, bringing Lightchain AI to one of the world's leading global crypto exchanges and expanding access to our growing community. 🔗 Trade now: bitmart.com/en-US/trade/LCAI… This is another major milestone as we continue building the future of decentralized AI. Welcome to all the new holders joining the ecosystem! 🌐⚡ #LCAI #LightchainAI #BitMart #AI #Crypto #Web3

🚨 New Governance Proposal is Live A proposal has been published to authorize an additional $35,000 per side of market-making liquidity for LCAI, building toward Echo Trade's recommended $50,000 per side depth. The proposal — "Authorize Additional LCAI Liquidity Provisioning for Market Making" — would authorize the DUNA's legal counsel to transfer up to 28,000,000 LCAI from the Treasury, bridge and convert a portion to USDT for buy-side liquidity and hold the remainder as LCAI for sell-side liquidity. 🧠 Why it matters: Echo Trade's recommended depth for an orderly market is $50,000 per side. This proposal supplies the remaining $35,000 per side needed to reach that benchmark, building on the $15,000 per side already deployed under Proposal #135742. The dollar target governs the amount actually deployed — the 28,000,000 LCAI figure is a hard cap, with any unused LCAI returned to the Treasury. This proposal does not authorize any fee, retainer, or compensation to the market maker — that remains a separate governance action. ⏳ The ~24-hour voting delay has begun. 🗳️ Review and vote dao.lightchain.ai/proposal/0…

🚀 The countdown begins for Lightchain. Thank you, @BitMartExchange 🤝, for announcing the official listing schedule for $LCAI. We're excited to welcome new traders, builders, validators, workers, and community members as Lightchain continues to grow.

🚨 New Governance Proposal is Live A proposal has been published to adopt the Level Markets Limited License Agreement for LCAI market-making software and ratify the $20,000 USDT payment that activated market making for the upcoming BitMart listing. The proposal — "Adopt the Level Markets Limited License Agreement and Ratify the $20,000 BitMart Payment" — would adopt the executed agreement with Level Markets Limited, ratify Quantum Counsel LLC's execution of the agreement as Administrator of the LCAI DUNA, confirm the previously completed $20,000 USDT payment, and ratify the use of Treasury LCAI previously authorized under Proposal #135742 to fund that payment. 🧠 Why it matters: While Proposal #135742 authorized Treasury LCAI for exchange liquidity and market-making purposes, it did not authorize the underlying software license agreement or the initial subscription payment. This proposal provides that governance approval by adopting the agreement and ratifying the payment that enabled market making for the BitMart listing. If approved, the agreement and payment will be formally recognized as authorized actions of the LCAI DUNA. No additional payments beyond the ratified $20,000 USDT are authorized by this proposal. ⏳ The ~24-hour voting delay has begun. 🗳️ Review and vote dao.lightchain.ai/

🚀 We've open-sourced the Lightchain DEX frontend. The interface behind LCAI Swap is now publicly available under the MIT license. The full source—including swap logic, liquidity management, and wallet integration—is on GitHub for anyone to review, audit, or build upon. It's a non-custodial frontend for a Uniswap V2–style AMM on the Lightchain AI network. The app communicates directly with the on-chain router, factory, and pair contracts. Transactions are constructed client-side and signed by your own wallet, with no backend in the trade path. What's included: • 🔄 Token swaps and full liquidity management (add, remove, and view positions) • ✍️ EIP-2612 permit signatures for gasless liquidity removal approvals • 👛 Wallet connectivity via Reown AppKit (WalletConnect) • ⚙️ Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and wagmi/viem The README covers configuration and self-hosting, including how to deploy the underlying Uniswap V2 contracts to run an independent instance. Once live, you can list your DEX on hub.lightchain.ai. Contributions are welcome through issues and pull requests. 📂 Repository: github.com/lightchain-protoc… A note on safety: Lightchain does not operate a DEX of its own—this is software for the community to deploy and run independently. Because anyone can deploy this code, always verify that you trust a given site before connecting your wallet.

🚀Testnet Chat Inference Upgrade We have deployed a major update to the testnet chat, introducing a new credit-based system designed to make the experience faster and more seamless. What's new? - No more wallet confirmations for every prompt - Top up your native LCAI balance with any amount you want - Withdraw your remaining balance at any time - Workers are paid automatically from your interactions without requiring transaction approval for every request - Every transaction remains fully recorded on-chain for complete transparency The system has also successfully passed the CertiK audit. chat.testnet.lightchain.ai/ Additional updates The native chain DAO is now live at dao.lightchain.ai, eliminating the need for wrapping and unwrapping tokens when participating in governance. All Blockaid warnings have been fully resolved. What's next? Our immediate focus is gathering feedback and testing the upgraded chat system on testnet before proceeding with mainnet deployment. In parallel, development of the Developer API is progressing rapidly. This will open the door for builders to access and integrate AI models far beyond the chat interface, with a much simpler and more efficient experience. We'll be sharing more details soon, but developers should start paying close attention. This has been a very productive week, and the rest of the roadmap remains on track. More updates are coming next week. ⚡⚡

📢 On behalf of Quantum Counsel LLC, acting as Administrator and Ministerial Agent of the LCAI DUNA: Community update on exchange onboarding. Over the past two days, two authorized conversions were carried out in connection with the approved BitMart exchange listing. In each case, LCAI was disbursed from the treasury pursuant to governance authorization and converted pursuant to governance authorization. Yesterday's conversion — $25,000 in LCAI — funded the remaining balance of the BitMart listing fee. Today's conversion — $15,000 in LCAI — funded initial exchange liquidity. The disbursement, the conversions, the listing fee, and the liquidity allocation were each authorized by passed on-chain proposals. ✅ We have also been informed that BitMart's integration of native LCAI has been completed, representing another important milestone in the onboarding process. The market-making arrangement is in its final stages, and substantial progress has been made toward finalizing the remaining commercial terms. We will provide a further update once the arrangement has been finalized. ⚡

📢 Lightchain Development Update 🗳️ The native DAO is expected to go live next week which marks a major milestone for the ecosystem. Following the native DAO deployment, the next major milestone is account abstraction support (EIP-7702). This upgrade will enable smart account functionality, remove the need for confirmations on every inference in AI Chat 🤖, and make it easier to integrate inference directly into dApps through APIs and SDKs. 🛠️ The team is also continuing work toward making the network fully decentralized throughout the ecosystem with several ideas in mind🌐 Additional network optimizations are continuing to be researched, including the potential to reduce block times from approximately 6 seconds to 2–3 seconds, which would improve response times across the network. ⚡ The core team also plans to share several of its own ideas in the coming weeks. We're just getting started! ⚡ Lightchain keeps moving forward. Native DAO, account abstraction, decentralization, and performance improvements are all on the horizon. Stay tuned as exciting things are in store!

📢 Community Update On behalf of Quantum Counsel LLC, serving as Administrator of the LCAI DUNA: We're pleased to share two important developments for the LCAI ecosystem. ✅ Flowdesk onboarding is now underway. Flowdesk will serve as LCAI's market maker, helping provide liquidity support as we expand to additional trading venues. ✅ BitMart has begun work on integrating the native Lightchain network. Integration efforts are currently in progress. As these initiatives move forward, the target launch date has been updated to June 22, 2026. We'll continue to keep the community informed as milestones are reached. ⚡⚡
