Blockchain Bulletin: June 2025
Paddle Finance Launches PADD Token to Power a New DeFi Era
Paddle Finance is launching its new token, PADD, on June 3rd at 1 PM UTC, listing it on MEXC, Uniswap (Base), and Kodiak (Berachain). The platform helps users derive real value from complex digital assets, such as NFTs, LP tokens, and meme coins, which are often overlooked in traditional DeFi.
PADD isn’t just for voting; it powers rewards, staking, borrowing, and trading. Users earn it by actively using the platform, not just by holding it. There is also a staking system where users can earn money from platform fees. To maintain the token’s value, Paddle will periodically buy back and burn a portion of the tokens.
At launch, only 9.09% of the 1 billion total tokens will be available, with careful unlocking to keep things stable. Community airdrops will reward early users and NFT holders. Post-launch plans include governance, staking, and more features across many chains.

How to Leverage Google’s Algorithm to Secure Long-term Success
Assisterr Raises $2.8M to Bring DIY AI to the Masses
Assisterr, a Solana-based AI platform, has raised $2.8 million to make building AI tools easier for everyone, not only large tech companies. With a fresh valuation of $75 million, the platform enables users to create, launch, and earn from custom AI agents without requiring any coding. Backers include Google for Startups, Outlier Ventures, and other notable investors.
Unlike big companies chasing huge AI models, Assisterr focuses on Small Language Models (SLMs), which are more cost-effective, faster, and better suited for specific tasks such as NFT art tools or DeFi analytics. The team, shaped by experience at DeepMind, AlphaGo, and the University of Cambridge, is on a mission to decentralise AI and put it in the hands of everyday creators.
Their token, ASRR, was launched on May 30 and is already listed on top exchanges, including Bybit and Binance Alpha. Assisterr’s goal is simple. AI for all, not only for the powerful few.
Dimitra & MANTRA Tokenise Farming to Help People and the Planet
Dimitra, a blockchain-powered farming technology company, is partnering with MANTRA, a blockchain for real-world assets, to support farmers and the planet. Their goal? To turn agricultural assets like cacao and carbon credits into digital tokens so that farmers can obtain better funding and investors can support real change.
The first projects will start in Brazil and Mexico. In Brazil, Dimitra is helping small farmers grow more cacao with smart tools and then tokenising the value to improve profits and transparency. In Mexico, they’ll use blockchain to track and trade carbon credits from a forest conservation project expected to create 1 million credits in 10 years.
This partnership will soon expand across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, opening new investment paths in sustainable farming. By making these real-world assets tradable, Dimitra and MANTRA are connecting farmers with global investors who care about both returns and real-world impact.
Night Spawn Brings Web3 Horror to Life with Somnia’s Power
Night Spawn, a thrilling horror survival game, is teaming up with Somnia’s Dream Catalyst, a $10M accelerator for next-gen Web3 games. Built for co-op play, Night Spawn challenges players to solve tricky puzzles and escape terrifying monsters, all inspired by horror films like An American Werewolf in London and games like Dead by Daylight.
Players face shifting, spooky settings, such as foggy villages and broken-down police stations, while dealing with random enemies and surprise missions powered by a Tarot Card system. The story follows the Hollow Gate Society as it fights against ancient creatures, including vampire lords and demonic puppeteers.
The game will run on Somnia’s high-speed blockchain, which handles over 1 million transactions per second. This enables real-time gameplay, player-owned assets, and seamless updates, something most blockchains can’t achieve.
Night Spawn joins other Dream Catalyst games, getting funding, support, and a boost into the growing world of Web3 gaming.
Naoris Raises $3M to Build Quantum-Safe Blockchain Security Layer
Naoris Protocol, the world’s first quantum-resistant blockchain and cybersecurity mesh, has raised $3 million in a new strategic funding round led by Mason Labs, with backing from Frekaz Group, Level One Robotics, and Tradecraft Capital. This announcement follows a detailed six-month technical review and builds on Naoris’ previous $31M raise in 2022, which included support from notable investors such as Tim Draper.
Naoris is tackling future internet threats by building a Sub-Zero Layer that protects both Web2 and Web3 systems from hacks, including those at the quantum level. It’s plug-and-play, meaning it works with any EVM blockchain or enterprise system without needing a hard fork. The protocol utilises a combination of AI, decentralised security, and post-quantum cryptography to prevent attacks before they occur.
With over 64 million transactions processed and 341 million threats stopped since launch, Naoris is now opening up a new institutional round to meet growing demand.
