"Can operators see my prompt?" Currently, the operator assigned to your job decrypts it to run the model, but only ciphertext ever touches the chain. We're building sealed keys in secure hardware so operators can serve a prompt without reading it.

The right answer alone isn't enough. AI compute needs an open standard where anyone can see the work behind every model's response. Lightchain keeps an onchain record of the LLMs, their jobs, and the $LCAI deposits that back the outcomes. Verify it yourself → workers.lightchain.ai

One install instead of a tab for every corner of Lightchain. Rooms, wallet, paid AI inference and worker hosting now sit in one desktop app, with no account to create. Windows + macOS beta are live → lightchain.ai/download

New AI models are whitelisted on Lightchain mainnet: llama3-8b, llama3-70b, gemma4:e2b, glm-4.7-flash, qwen3-coder-next, gpt-oss:20b, gpt-oss:120b, qwen3-vl:8b, qwen3-vl:30b, qwen3-embedding:0.6b, tts-piper Workers can now start running them. Our team is spinning up workers too, so you'll be able to use them on mainnet soon. workers.lightchain.ai/run-no…

LightChain Devnet v2 is now running 3-second blocks, down from 6. Applied live. No chain reset, no state loss — blocks before the boundary keep their original timing, and finality held throughout. Next: 2s, then 1s if it holds. Then we stress test it properly. devnet.lightscan.app/

🖥️ The Lightchain AI desktop hub works end to end. Ask a model in the app, on mainnet, paid from your own wallet. Or mention one in an encrypted P2P group chat: the answer lands for everyone, signed by the worker, so the room can verify the model said it. 🧵

Native Lightchain DEX is Now Live! 🚀 The native Lightchain DEX is officially live: DEX: lightdex.app Following the successful DAO proposal that reached quorum: dao.lightchain.ai/proposal/0… Deployed Contracts Router02: 0x1f94c0A6Cf48D3075f9713A79f87FA4eEdAF7021 Factory: 0xBA502917c3F7233F9100f9430f4048a224A7D8DE WLCAI: 0xeBf97f16d843bFD9d9E6B1857B4C00d94ca7e2B2 The DEX has been successfully deployed, and ownership of all smart contracts has been fully transferred to the Timelock, which is governed entirely by the DAO. Repository: github.com/lightchain-protoc… Contributions are welcome! If you'd like to improve the DEX or add new features, feel free to submit a pull request. The Launchpad will also be open-sourced soon. Testing for the DEX integration will begin shortly. In the meantime, you can start using the native DEX today. ⚡

🚨 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.

📢 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. 🚀

🚀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. ⚡⚡
