Howdy Minimalists !

$MINIMA is now listed on @CertiK's Skynet platform - we are proud of the A grade which is a huge reflection both on the team but also you in the Community.

The next step requires your help - provide your user feedback on the listing directly to help us earn a CertiK audit, which may get us to a AA or higher grade !

We have brought together two of our largest partners, alongside two academic centres of excellence in chip design. Why have they joined forces with us? To push our Chain on Chip project forward in a big way.

Thanks to this collaboration, we've brought our hardware timeline forward by a full year. We're now targeting a working prototype chip by the end of 2025.

This isn’t just a technical milestone. It’s the foundation for a fully decentralized, embedded blockchain at the edge.

We’ll be sharing more, including who’s involved, in August.

What happens when AI agents gain economic independence?
When they can own assets, make decisions, and learn from social interactions?
And finally, what happens when they live on decentralized infrastructure?

Meet VITA, an AI agent representing a step toward truly autonomous, decentralized, and economically independent AI agents.

🚨 We've got an important update for WMINIMA holders 🚨

We’ll be taking a snapshot of all Wrapped Minima wallets on the 27th of August at 11:00 UTC. This will lock in who held what at that point in time.

Why are we doing this ?

✅ To give every current holder the right to swap 1:1 into Native Minima at any time in the future.
❌ Any Wrapped bought after the snapshot won’t qualify.

This is about protecting existing holders, and drawing a clear line under Wrapped trading.

Of the 125m Wrapped Minima originally minted, over 86m have already been swapped back to Native.

Want the full details, including why the snapshot matters and what comes next?

📖 Read the full announcement here :https://minima.global/post/bringing-wrapped-minima-to-a-close-snapshot-and-next-steps

🚨 Attention $WMINIMA holders ! 🚨

Let this be a reminder that tomorrow at 11:00 UTC we will be taking a snapshot of all wallets holding $WMINIMA, and past that only those wallets and amounts will be eligible to swap to $MINIMA (Native Minima) 1:1

This warning is particularly important for those of you who currently hold a position in the Uniswap pool for Wrapped. Not withdrawing from this pool will result in your $WMINIMA being uneligible for 1:1 swap via https://native.minima.global

📖 Read the full announcement here : https://minima.global/post/bringing-wrapped-minima-to-a-close-snapshot-and-next-steps

This reminder is the 1st out of 4 total reminders before tomorrow's snapshot.

Feel free to ask questions on Discord or Telegram regarding this

🎥 Watch. Learn. Earn.

We're back with another Rewards Campaign, thanks to Cere Network (@cereofficial on X)!

Setting our sights on the WeAreDePIN interview with SpartacusRex, this initiative serves to raise awareness around the incredibly relevant points raised during this interview.

If you haven't yet watched it, or don't follow our brand @WeAreDePIN, then now's the time to get aboard 🚅

5 random participants will share 5,000 Minima, go earn some $MINIMA 🔥

Head over to the Telegram MiniApp to get started 😉

For those of you who participated in our last campaign and placed top 5, we're working on distributing your rewards !

📸 Snapshot Completed! 📸

Still holding Wrapped Minima? Next Steps :point_down:

If you’re still holding Wrapped Minima, no stress! You can swap it 1:1 into Native Minima anytime using the official tool 👉 https://native.minima.global

That said, we’d really encourage you to make the move sooner rather than later. Most of the community is already on Native, and that’s where all the action is — the utility, the integrations, the future.

This isn’t just about swapping tokens. It’s about tidying up the ecosystem, removing confusion for new users, and making sure we’re all aligned on the same path: a truly decentralized, user-powered blockchain.

If your Wrapped Minima is sitting in a Uniswap pool position, things work a little differently.

Now that the snapshot’s been taken, you won’t be able to use the standard swap tool for those tokens. Instead, you’ll need to *reach out to us* directly so we can arrange your 1:1 swap.

Just drop the team a message through our socials and we’ll get you sorted 👍

Hi everyone,

Over the course of last weekend we had an internal server migration, and without us realizing this ended up breaking our current support email inbox, which has now been addressed and is working as intended since earlier this week.

Some of you may have noticed this, but if you haven't, essentially this meant the support mail wasn't delivered correctly and we'd like to apologize for this inconvenience as it coincided at the same time with the conversion of Wrapped to Native.

If you have any questions, or require assistance from our support team, please reach out to [email protected] !

Reminder : This is our only official support channel

Again, our apologies for this oversight, onwards and upwards !

Hi Minimalists !

Our latest Developer Call recording is out on Youtube and you can go watch it here if you missed some (or all) of it : https://youtu.be/WoW0Vc6MhFk?si=rwvlMM9XcJ_PNP1R

🛠️ September Developer Call #2 🛠️

Join us next Tuesday 23rd @ 12:00 BST ⏰ for an open developer call with SpartacusRex

On the Agenda: Minima Web Extension Wallet & MegaDAPPs

Join us on the discord stage at https://discord.gg/minimaglobal 🚀

Need to ensure data integrity and trust in the age of AI?

Sounds like you need Integritas!

https://cointelegraph.com/news/how-to-ensure-data-integrity-and-trust-in-the-age-of-ai

⚡️ Introducing Omnia, Minima’s native improved Lightning Network implementation.

Here’s a first look: ThunderPay - a demo MiniDapp showing real peer-to-peer transactions running on Omnia.

Omnia unlocks theoretical infinite TPS 🚀

That means no congestion, no bottlenecks: just scalable, trustless payments between peers.

ThunderPay is just the beginning.

It proves what’s possible. Peer-to-peer, instant and private transactions with no intermediaries.

But Omnia is far bigger than one demo.

The full Omnia solution will only be complete once an entire Omnia network is built.

🛠 This will take time and money
💪 We will do it alone without question
🤝 But we’re also open to collaboration with projects & partners who share the vision.

And we’re moving fast.

Within weeks, we’ll be working with partners to demonstrate real-world financial transactions happening live on Omnia.

Omnia isn’t just about speed.

It’s about building the foundation for a truly decentralized global economy - one where everyone can transact instantly, securely, and peer-to-peer.

⚡️ ThunderPay is the demo.
🌍 Omnia is the revolution.

We’re excited for the challenge - and open to those who want to build it with us.

Q3 is coming to a close, and Q4 is about to kick off. Before looking ahead, I wanted to look back at what has been achieved and give insight into challenges that we have faced in some areas.

We have always tried to be realistic with our road maps but sometimes plans and circumstances change and it is important to share the journey with you.

Now that we have a fully functioning base layer we are very conscious of the need to grow the ecosystem and help make Minima more convenient to use. I know this is a common theme in the community, Paddy alluded to this in his weekend post, and it is a priority for us.

The end goal for Minima is to be on chip - a completely decentralized value transfer layer for every connected device - the ultimate positioning for mainstream adoption and we are still very bullish about this. You will also see from our Q4 road map, that making Minima more accessible to existing web3 projects and users, is high on our agenda.

Wrapped Minima Snapshot:

We successfully completed the Wrapped Minima snapshot 27th August, marking the official point we moved to Native Minima only.

The process went to plan and resulted in the decoupling of WMINIMA from MINIMA.

To date c.87M (70%) WMINIMA has been repatriated back to native MINIMA. If you still have WMINIMA please visit https://native.minima.global to complete your swap.

Minima on Chip:

Following 6 months of due diligence we have just executed an agreement with a leading UK Academic Institution ( also a top ARM research centre) to design & build the world’s first demo prototype of a full blockchain node running on Chip.

The work has already been initiated and will bring forward our plans for a working demo by 12 months - So by Q1 2026 we will be running a demo day of the prototype to industry clients across defence, healthcare, robotics, and automotive industries.

A full press release with more details will be made public very soon once our partners PR approvals are in place.

DEX:

We have been working on plans for fully decentralised DEX, but we are now considering that a more centralised solution, that will deliver better UX and customer experience, is a more sensible approach for our first DEX.

I know that there is always a healthy debate in the community between the pure decentralisation ethos of Minima and the more centralised, but more user friendly approach, to solutions built on Minima. So we would like to get your view on which approach to tackle first. Later this week we will launch a poll to get your view on which approach you would prefer to see first.

CEX:

Despite many discussions with CEXs we have yet to find the right partner for another CEX.

The main challenge is that CEXs are really only interested in pre-TGE projects as they can make more money from the hype. In addition to this, while we now have 3 successful integrations up and running with a minimal amount of development work for the exchanges, the extra integration process is still an additional barrier.

Top Tier CEXs are demanding very high fees c. $350k- $500k+ currently and the lower Tier exchanges simply don’t offer enough genuine trading volume to warrant launching there.

We are in dialogue with a number of Top Tier exchanges that are looking to add credibility through projects with technical differentiation and strong road maps. We will be sharing our Q4 roadmap with them and will keep the community informed of progress.

Integritas:

Launched the beta of Minima’s first commercial product. Built in collaboration with Volvo engineers, Intergritas guarantees tamper-proof authenticity of data from any source.

Integritas Marketplace:

As part of our planning for the Integritas Marketplace we partnered with University College London (UCL) to conduct a 3 month research project into the feasibility of a standalone data marketplace.

Based on the data gathered it became clear that integrating into existing AI / data marketplaces would be a far more commercially viable approach. As a result we have pivoted towards building AI integrations.

We will be launching our first integration in Q4 with ASI with more to follow!

Omnia/Thunder:

The Thunder(pay) demo was released to the public 25th September. This is the first ever instance of a functioning Eltoo integration - the start of Minima’s L2 scaling solution for infinite transactions per second.

VITA - AI Agent on Minima:

Community Project - Launched August 5th, we are continuing to support this.

TOKEN2049 Singapore - Launch of Edge Pioneers:

Minima will be partnering with 0xLabs to launch Edge Pioneers, an accelerator program for Web3 Developers and Projects building on Minima. The application page will be opening shortly

UCL Hackathon:

Following on from the research carried out in Q3 we will be running a hackathon with under/ post graduate students at UCL. This will be in two streams, a data science stream focused on Integritas use cases and a pure blockchain stream. The hackathon is in concert with the UCL Blockchain Department & UCL Data Science Society.

Supported by industry partners (list to be finalised) we will see teams of students from across the University introduced to Minima, competing to produce presentations and work product against real-world problems and scenarios.

Dates confirmed for November, we are just waiting on full detail from UCL team and industry partners to launch the joined up marketing campaign.

Stable Coin:

Technical details for a stable coin solution are now going through regulatory checks ahead of launch. This is going to be a game changer for payments running over Minima, and will make the value proposition for the DEX even stronger as assets will be able to pegged against USDT (and Minima).

DEX:

Following the community poll, development work will commence

MiniMask:

A browser plug-in to connect websites directly to Minima (Mega MMR) hosted nodes. This is a game-changer for UX and onboarding new users.

Minima on Chip Demo:

Official announcement confirming Enterprise partners involved as well as more details on the output of the project itself.

Omnia - Thunder:

World’s first institution to institution proof of concept - sending value across the Eltoo network.

VITA on X:

The VITA team are working on giving Vita a presence on X to expand reach and awareness

ASI:One Integration:

Integritas will be available for use on ASI:One. More news to come soon.

If you made it this far, well done!

The team are working hard behind the scenes to make this all a reality, and we look forward to delivering upon it in Q4.
