CHEYENNE, WY, USA – 10/10/2025 – T420 , a pioneering Real-World Asset (RWA) project, today announced its official launch and upcoming pre-sale. The project is set to build a community-owned and operated fleet of Tesla Robotaxis, leveraging the high-performance Solana blockchain to offer investors a direct stake in the future of autonomous mobility. The global autonomous ride-sharing market represents one of the most significant economic shifts of the coming decade. However, the ownership of these critical infrastructure networks is on a path to being controlled by large, centralized corporations and investment funds, leaving the community of early believers and supporters with no direct ownership. T420 was created to solve this problem by providing a new model for decentralized, community-owned infrastructure. "We saw a future where the people who believe most in the autonomous revolution are the ones who get to own it, not just pay for the rides," said Zane O'Donnell, Co-Founder of T420. "T420 is more than just a token; it's a legally registered DAO that provides the tools for a community to collectively own a revenue-generating, real-world fleet of vehicles. We're giving people the chance to own the ride, not just the stock." The T420 model is built on a "Marketplace Flywheel" where T420 tokens represent direct, fractionalized ownership of the vehicles. A significant portion of the net revenue generated from rides (42%) is distributed directly to token holders once all token unlocks are complete. The project chose the Solana network for its ability to handle the high transaction volume and low fees required for a global, real-time transportation network. "For a real-world asset project of this scale, performance and security are non-negotiable," said Delon O'Donnell, Co-Founder. "Solana provides the speed and scalability we need to manage a global fleet, while our DAO structure (DUNA) and triple-audit path ensure that the project is governed transparently and securely by the community it serves." Key Features of the T420 Project Include: Asset-Backed Tokens: Every token is backed by a real-world, revenue-generating Tesla Robotaxi. Direct Revenue Share: Token holders receive 42% of the net daily fees generated by the fleet. Decentralized Governance: A fully-doxed team and a DAO structure allow the community to vote on key decisions. Institutional-Grade Security: The project is built with a triple-audit path for its smart contracts and a legally-registered DAO wrapper. The T420 pre-sale is scheduled to begin on 10/10/2025, offering early investors the opportunity to acquire T420 tokens at an entry-level price. About T420 T420 is a Real-World Asset (RWA) project dedicated to building the world's first community-owned and operated fleet of autonomous robotaxis. By combining the power of the Solana blockchain with a transparent DAO governance model, T420 aims to decentralize ownership in the multi-trillion dollar mobility economy.

Amadeus is introducing the world's first blockchain that converts mining waste into AI intelligence. The breakthrough 'thinking blockchain' transforms energy typically wasted on meaningless crypto mining calculations into useful AI training, enabling anyone to deploy self-evolving AI agents without coding expertise.  As AI infrastructure faces skyrocketing costs and centralization risks, Amadeus addresses these challenges by creating a secure, scalable platform where network security directly fuels AI progress. This launch taps into the exploding AI agents market, projected to grow from $7.9 billion today to $236 billion by 2034¹, offering developers, enterprises, and individuals a decentralized alternative for building intelligent systems. At its core, Amadeus replaces wasteful mining with meaningful computations that power AI development, ensuring every network operation contributes real value. Unlike traditional proof-of-work systems that burn energy without purpose, Amadeus creates an economic flywheel: more mining leads to stronger AI capabilities, attracting further resources and driving network growth. Key innovations include: Self-Evolving AI Agents : Deploy intelligent agents that adapt in real-time using the Nova AI compiler, with all improvements recorded immutably on-chain. Swarm Coordination and Oracle Streams : Easily assemble AI teams with drag-and-drop modules for tasks like perception and planning, integrated with live data feeds for weather, finance, or news. No-Code Agent Deployment : Anyone can create and monetize AI agents, democratizing access to advanced technology. High-Performance Infrastructure : Achieves 0.5-second transaction finality, making it suitable for real-time applications while maintaining full decentralization. Real-World Applications for AI Agents Amadeus empowers practical use cases that blend AI and blockchain, such as autonomous agents that trade assets, generate content, or manage businesses entirely on-chain. For example, a developer could deploy an AI agent to monitor market data, execute trades, and optimize strategies automatically, all verifiable, censorship-resistant, and free from platform risks. This opens doors for enterprises seeking cost-effective AI solutions and individuals building passive income streams through intelligent automation. Standing Out in the AI-Blockchain Space While projects like Render Network and Akash focus on decentralized compute, and SingularityNET or Fetch.ai emphasize AI marketplaces, Amadeus differentiates through its uPoW mechanism, which turns mining into direct AI contributions without premine, VCs, or energy waste. Backed by a team with decades in blockchain, AI, and distributed systems, including ex-FAANG engineers and leaders from multi-billion-dollar crypto projects. The $AMA token, with a 1 billion total supply fully mined through useful work, powers the ecosystem. A 100 million $AMA community treasury funds grants for mining infrastructure, SDKs, and AI tools, fostering organic growth. "With hardware advancing rapidly, we anticipate our validator network expanding 10 to 100 times, creating a resilient foundation enterprises can trust for mission-critical AI," added Ivan Svirid , Co-Founder of Amadeus Protocol. Looking Ahead The mainnet positions Amadeus for rapid ecosystem expansion. In Q4 2025 will see: The Nova Runtime deployment enabling AI agent capabilities First exchange partnership to expand $AMA accessibility. The 2026 roadmap focuses on enterprise adoption with a dedicated GPU marketplace and the launch of the ecosystem grants program to accelerate developer onboarding.
