In partnership with the Office of the Special Envoy on Technology of the Republic of Kenya, East Africa’s largest AI and tech launch event takes place in Nairobi from 19-21 May 2026

Three-day event gathers tech ecosystem to debate and deploy AI solutions built for the continent, from food security and sovereign AI to financial inclusion and cybersecurity

Nairobi, Kenya – 12 May 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Kenya is set to catalyse a new phase of AI-driven digital transformation in East Africa as the region’s largest tech show, AI EVERYTHING KENYA X GITEX KENYA, makes its debut next week in Nairobi to fast-track tech investment and cross-border collaboration in a US$16.5 billion continental AI market.

Organised by inD, the global organiser of GITEX events, in partnership with the Office of the Special Envoy on Technology of the Republic of Kenya, AI EVERYTHING KENYA X GITEX KENYA takes place from 19–21 May 2026 across two venues: the Inclusive AI Everything Summit at Sarit Expo Centre on 19 May, followed by the AI EVERYTHING KENYA EXPO on 20–21 May at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).

The three-day event shall amplify Kenya’s position as a central node in advancing East Africa’s sovereign, inclusive, and investment-driven AI ecosystems, convening regional and global tech leaders, policymakers, investors, and innovators to accelerate AI infrastructure and digital economy development in a rising East African market of more than 300 million people.

H.E. Ambassador Philip Thigo, Special Envoy for Technology, Office of the President, Government of Kenya, said: “Kenya has firmly established itself as a leading technology hub in Africa, driven by innovation, talent, and a forward-looking digital agenda.

“Hosting AI EVERYTHING KENYA X GITEX KENYA is a defining moment for East Africa, reflecting our commitment to shaping the future of AI in a manner that is inclusive, sovereign, and aligned with Africa’s development priorities. This is where East Africa advances toward co-authoring a future where lives are uplifted, social gaps are bridged, and shared prosperity is realised through innovation.”

Trixie LohMirmand, CEO of the global organiser of GITEX, said: “AI EVERYTHING KENYA X GITEX KENYA shall convene an exceptional gathering of digital economy stakeholders, united in a shared ambition to shape East Africa’s trajectory in the emerging AI era.

“We’re proud to bring a new ecosystem of communities, networks, and relationships to a region where the enthusiasm and intent to forge new alliances, actuate visionary strategies, and pursue decisive, coordinated action in the name of inclusive AI integration and digital sovereignty are tangible.”

Nairobi: Answering Africa’s hardest AI questions

The opening-day Inclusive AI Everything Summit convenes Pan-African government officials, global institutions, and industry pioneers around the debates defining Africa’s AI future, from finance that believes in the continent and nurturing talent that builds, to food that feeds the future, energy for everyone, and sovereignty without walls.

With 60 percent international attendees, the summit spotlights sovereign AI use cases and deployment from the leaders shaping an inclusive future, including insights from the European AI Office, Goldman Sachs, IBM, AGRA, and government leaders spanning Mozambique, Ghana, Rwanda, and Tanzania.

The AI in Action Forum at KICC on 20–21 May then takes these debates into applied territory, with sector-focused sessions addressing energy and compute access, intelligent food systems, predictive security, civic tech, data currency, and the future of African languages and culture in the age of AI, bringing together CAIOs, CISOs, big tech CEOs, and enterprise leaders from across the continent and beyond.

Meanwhile, East Africa’s largest curation of cross-sector AI takes shape on the exhibition floor, with global tech ecosystem enablers including ASUS, Cisco, Fortinet, HP, Odoo, IT Park Uzbekistan, Kaspersky, Mastercard, Mitsumi Distribution, Redington, ZKTeco and Zoho, alongside regional infrastructure powerhouses such as Africa Data Centers, eProcess Consulting, iX Africa Data Centres, Red Dot and Mart Networks.

Mastercard, which powers digital payments across 210 countries and has applied AI for nearly two decades, will showcase a full suite of digital products, including its AI and agentic commerce products and concepts.

Shehryar Ali, Mastercard’s senior vice president and country manager for East Africa and Indian Ocean Islands, said AI is set to redefine African commerce and empower financial inclusion: “Africa’s AI market is projected to grow to US$16.5 billion by 2030, with the potential to create up to 230 million digital jobs. AI is already powering real-time fraud detection that protects billions of transactions, enabling AI-driven credit scoring that opens formal finance to underserved consumers and small businesses.”

An investor-startup ecosystem supercharging East Africa’s digital future

Kenya has emerged as Africa’s top destination for venture capital, comprising more than one-quarter (US$1.04 billion) of total funding raised across the continent in 2025. AI EVERYTHING KENYA X GITEX KENYA 2026 in Nairobi now serves as the nexus where capital, talent, and policy align to accelerate investment and drive growth across East Africa’s digital economies.

With AI projected to contribute US$2.4 billion to Kenya’s GDP by 2030, the two-day expo unites the region’s rising gamechangers with more than 100 investors from 21 countries, collectively managing US$50-plus billion in assets under management. The investor cohort includes VCs deploying most of their investments across Africa including Norrsken22 (Sweden), Partech (USA), Verod Kepple Africa Ventures (Nigeria), Novastar (UK), and Seedstars (Switzerland).

The Venture Scaling Forum will surface the hard truths behind building million-dollar companies, covering capital access, product-market fit for Africa, path to profitability, and climate tech, while the Supernova Challenge, the world’s number one startup pitch competition, offers East Africa’s boldest founders equity-free cash prize and global exposure.

A power-packed agenda of forums, workshops, and AI readiness programmes

Beyond AI EVERYTHING KENYA X GITEX KENYA’s main stage, expert-led workshops will move tech executives from insight to implementation across practical, high-intensity sessions.

These include designing AI-driven processes teams can deploy immediately, hands-on training with African-deployable open-weight models including Llama and Mistral, cybersecurity simulations placing attendees inside live deepfake and AI phishing scenarios, and a rapid pitch-to-prototype sprint turning ideas into investor-ready AI MVPs in three hours.

The workshop agenda is anchored by the ITU-led (International Telecommunication Union) AI Readiness Roundtable and Workshop, convening government leaders to advance shared AI standards and national strategies, while the ITU AI Readiness Hackathon – the first in ITU’s global series – invites students, researchers, and professionals to co-create an open AI knowledge base using ITU tools, data, and cloud credits.

The AI Cyber Offense and Defense Roundtable, led by ISACA, brings together C-suite and security leaders to examine how AI is redefining offensive cyber operations, from automated vulnerability discovery to adaptive attack simulations.

USDC payments on Base for AI agents at checkout, alongside open-source documentation of how merchants run agent-driven commerce.

Amsterdam, May 11th 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, 15:00 CEST. Cryptorefills has enabled x402 payments at checkout, allowing AI agents to pay for gift cards, mobile top-ups and eSIMs using USDC on the Base network. The protocol, developed by Coinbase and Cloudflare, lets autonomous software settle stablecoin transactions programmatically. Cryptorefills has also published an open-source operations reference for the merchant operations layer of agentic commerce.

x402 lets a software agent receive an HTTP 402 Payment Required response from a merchant, settle the requested amount in stablecoin, and complete the transaction in a single automated exchange. For Cryptorefills, checkout becomes a programmable endpoint that agents can call directly.

The x402 launch adds a second agent-payment rail to the platform. Cryptorefills released its Model Context Protocol server in October 2025, allowing agents to discover products, build orders, and complete purchases through MCP. x402 addresses a different pattern: the agent calls a Cryptorefills endpoint, receives payment terms, settles in USDC, and completes the request in one round trip. The two rails serve different agent contexts and run in parallel. 

“We shipped x402 and open-sourced our merchant operations work in the same week on purpose. One is a payment rail, while the other is what a merchant needs around it to accept agent traffic. Agentic commerce is happening, and very little about the second part has been written down,” said Massimiliano Silenzi, CEO of Cryptorefills. “We’ve been running stablecoin checkout since 2018, and a lot of what we learned there carries over. We chose to publish what we’ve learned and continue building the rest openly.”

The reference repository, available at github.com/Cryptorefills/agentic-commerce, covers the operations surface that surrounds the protocol stack. Topics include catalogue discovery for agent buyers, settlement reconciliation across chains, quote-and-pricing handling, and delivery confirmations. Documentation is released under CC0; example code is Apache 2.0.

“In the repository we just open-sourced there are nine playbooks, the TypeScript schemas behind them, and five runnable examples. Two of them connect to our live MCP and x402 endpoints, so a developer can clone the repository and watch the agent-merchant exchange execute against production,” said Simonluca Landi, CTO of Cryptorefills.

Cryptorefills serves AI agents through three of the field’s emerging standards: MCP for context, Agent Skills for capability publishing, and x402 for stablecoin settlement. 

About Cryptorefills

Cryptorefills enables people in over 180 countries to spend cryptocurrency on everyday products and services. Categories include gift cards from over 6,600 brands, mobile top-ups across 600 operators, eSIMs, flights across 300 airlines, and stays at over 1 million hotels and properties. The platform supports stablecoin checkout across Base, Ethereum, Tron, Solana, Polygon, and other major networks, alongside Bitcoin and Lightning. It is among the first ecommerce companies to integrate AI-agent payment standards including MCP, Agent Skills, and x402.

Operating publicly since 2018 and headquartered in Amsterdam, Cryptorefills is a member of the Holland Fintech Association and Blockchain Netherlands Foundation.

• WebX 2026 returns to Tokyo as Japan enters a new phase of regulated digital asset growth and institutional participation.

Noida, Uttar Pradesh, 11th May 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Most businesses already know they need a stronger digital presence. What they struggle to find is someone who can actually deliver it — reliably, affordably, and without the usual runaround. Seospidy Web Solution, a full-service digital agency based in Noida, has spent years quietly becoming exactly that company for hundreds of clients across the NCR region and beyond.

The agency handles everything from ground-up website builds to long-term SEO campaigns, social media management, e-commerce platforms, and integrated digital marketing strategies. It’s a broad mandate, but Seospidy has made a strong case that doing all of it well — for the same client, with a consistent team — produces better results than stitching together multiple vendors.

Websites That Work, Not Just Websites That Exist
A surprising number of businesses in Noida are still running on websites that load slowly, look dated on mobile, or simply fail to convert visitors into enquiries. Seospidy’s website design in Noida service starts from a different premise entirely: a website isn’t a brochure, it’s a sales tool. Every project begins with a clear conversation about business goals, target audience, and what the site actually needs to accomplish — and the design follows from that, not the other way around.

The result is websites that are fast, mobile-optimised, visually sharp, and structured with SEO in mind from day one. Clients aren’t handed a finished product and left to figure it out — the team walks through everything, ensures the client is comfortable managing their own content, and stays available after launch.

SEO That Builds Rankings You Can Rely On
Search engine optimisation is one of those services where the difference between a good agency and a bad one doesn’t show up immediately — it shows up six months later when rankings either hold firm or quietly disappear. Seospidy’s SEO services in Noida are built entirely on white-hat, sustainable techniques: thorough keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical audits, quality link building, and content that actually earns its place on the page.

Clients receive monthly reports that don’t hide behind jargon — just clear data on rankings, traffic movement, and what’s being done to push things forward. For many businesses, Seospidy is the first SEO partner that’s ever explained what they’re actually paying for.

Social Media That Builds Brand, Not Just Noise
Social media is easy to do poorly and genuinely difficult to do well at scale. Posting content that looks professional, reads well, resonates with the right audience, and actually drives business outcomes requires more than a Canva template and a posting schedule. Seospidy’s social media marketing in Noida practice is built around brand storytelling — finding the authentic voice of a business and expressing it consistently across platforms.

Whether a client needs organic content management, paid social campaigns, influencer coordination, or a full community management setup, the team handles it with creative rigour and a strong eye for what actually performs. Engagement numbers are tracked, strategies are adjusted, and nothing is run on autopilot.

E-Commerce Platforms Built to Sell
The jump from a standard business website to a fully operational e-commerce store is significant — technically, strategically, and operationally. Seospidy’s e-commerce development in Noida service is designed to make that transition as smooth as possible. The team builds on proven platforms, implements clean checkout flows, integrates payment gateways, and sets up inventory and order management systems that actually make sense to the business owners using them.

More importantly, every e-commerce project is built with conversion in mind — page speed, product presentation, trust signals, mobile UX — the details that separate stores that sell from stores that just exist online.

Digital Marketing Strategy That Connects the Dots
Individual services only go so far. The businesses that grow fastest online are the ones with an integrated strategy — where the website, the SEO, the social media, and the paid campaigns all reinforce each other. Seospidy’s digital marketing services in Noida bring all of these threads together into a coherent, measurable growth plan. The team takes time to understand where a business currently stands, where it wants to go, and what the realistic roadmap looks like to get there.

For clients who’ve previously worked with agencies that operate in silos — one team for the website, another for ads, another for SEO — the Seospidy model is a noticeably different experience. One team, shared context, aligned goals.

Built for Noida, Scaled for India
Seospidy’s roots are in Noida, and that local grounding matters. The team understands the business landscape of the NCR — the competitive industries, the audience expectations, the pace at which things move. That local knowledge, combined with capabilities that scale to national campaigns, makes Seospidy a strong fit for businesses at very different stages of growth.

The agency is continuing to expand its client base and service offerings in 2025, with a particular focus on helping small and mid-sized businesses in Noida and Greater Noida build the kind of digital infrastructure that supports real, sustained growth. For business owners who’ve been putting off taking their digital presence seriously, Seospidy makes a compelling case for why now is the right time to start.

About Seospidy Web Solution
Seospidy Web Solution is a full-service digital agency headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. The company offers website design and development, search engine optimisation, social media marketing, e-commerce development, and end-to-end digital marketing solutions. Seospidy serves startups, SMEs, and established businesses across India, with a strong track record in the NCR region. For more information, visit SEOSpidy Web Solution.

New Delhi, India, 11th May 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — There’s a particular kind of frustration that comes with a broken device. Your PlayStation won’t power on the night before a weekend. Your iPhone screen cracks on a Monday morning. Your Samsung mid-range phone — the one you rely on for everything — suddenly goes dark. For millions of people in Delhi, finding someone genuinely trustworthy to fix these problems has always felt like a gamble. Noorcommunications is changing that.

The New Delhi-based electronics repair company has quietly built one of the city’s most comprehensive device repair operations — handling everything from gaming consoles to premium smartphones under one roof, with technicians who actually know what they’re doing. And more recently, word has been spreading fast.

Gaming console repair is one of those categories where bad service can do more damage than the original fault. Overheating issues, HDMI port failures, disc drive malfunctions — these are precision jobs. Noorcommunications’PS4 repair in Delhi service has become a go-to for gamers across the city who’ve learned, sometimes the hard way, that generic repair shops often make things worse. The team here diagnoses first, explains what’s wrong in plain language, and only proceeds once the customer is on board. No surprises, no inflated bills.

The same philosophy extends to next-gen hardware. The PS5 has a reputation for being notoriously difficult to repair — its architecture is more complex, components are harder to source, and the margin for error is slim. Noorcommunications’PS5 repair in Delhi service stands out because the technicians have invested in the right tools and the right training. Customers routinely bring in consoles other shops refused to touch — and walk out with fully functioning devices.

On the smartphone side, Samsung users make up a significant portion of the customer base. Screen replacements, battery swells, charging port issues, water damage — the range of problems is wide, and so is the range of models the team handles. Whether it’s a budget Galaxy A-series or a flagship S-series, the Samsung mobile repair in Delhi service uses genuine-grade parts and doesn’t cut corners on quality checks before handing a device back.

Google Pixel phones have a dedicated and passionate user base — people who chose the device specifically for its camera, its clean Android experience, and its software support. They’re also people who tend to ask a lot of questions before handing their phone to anyone. That’s exactly the kind of customer Noorcommunications is built for. The Google Pixel repair in Delhi service is handled by technicians who understand the nuances of Pixel hardware — from display calibration to fingerprint sensor issues — and treat every device with the care it deserves.

Then there’s iPhone — still the gold standard for premium repair expectations. Apple device owners are rightly cautious about where they take their phones, and Noorcommunications has earned a strong reputation among Delhi’s iPhone users for doing the job right. The iPhone repair centre in Delhi offers everything from cracked screen replacements and battery swaps to motherboard-level diagnostics, with transparent pricing discussed upfront and genuine-quality components used throughout.

What Actually Sets Them Apart

It would be easy to list certifications and turnaround times and call it a day. But what customers actually talk about when they recommend Noorcommunications is something harder to manufacture: honesty. The team will tell you if a device isn’t worth repairing. They won’t push unnecessary parts. They explain what failed and why, in terms that make sense. And they stand behind their work.

That approach has built something genuinely valuable in a market flooded with options — a reputation you can rely on. Customers return. They send their friends. Reviews don’t read like marketing copy; they read like relief.

Noorcommunications also understands that a broken device isn’t just inconvenient — it’s disruptive. Fast turnaround isn’t a bonus feature; it’s a baseline expectation. The team works efficiently without rushing quality, and most standard repairs are completed same-day or within 24 hours.

Looking Ahead

As device ownership in India continues to grow — and as repair costs on newer flagship models climb steadily — reliable, affordable, expert repair services are becoming more important than ever. Noorcommunications is positioned squarely at that intersection. The team is expanding its service capabilities, training continuously on new models, and staying ahead of the curve on component sourcing.

For Delhi residents tired of taking chances with their valuable devices, the message from Noorcommunications is straightforward: bring it in, get an honest assessment, and leave with something that actually works. That’s not a complicated promise — but it’s one they’ve been keeping, consistently, for every customer who walks through the door.

About Noorcommunications

Noorcommunications is a professional electronics and mobile device repair company based in New Delhi, India. The company specialises in gaming console repair (PS4 & PS5), and smartphone repair across major brands including Apple iPhone, Samsung, and Google Pixel. Known for transparent pricing, fast turnaround, and high-quality parts, Noorcommunications serves individual customers and businesses across Delhi. For more information, visit Noor Communications.

USA, 7th May 2026 — As global financial systems face increasing pressure from geopolitical uncertainty, tightening regulations, and inefficiencies in traditional banking rails, MoonExe today announced the launch of its Exchange Finance (ExFi) solution, a next-generation framework designed to transform cross-border payments using stablecoin-based infrastructure.

With the rapid rise of stablecoins as a settlement layer, growing institutional interest, and regulatory momentum in key markets such as the United States and Asia, the global payments landscape is undergoing a structural shift. Businesses are increasingly seeking faster, more transparent, and cost-efficient alternatives to legacy systems.

MoonExe positions itself at the forefront of this evolution.

A TIMELY SOLUTION FOR A FRAGMENTED GLOBAL SYSTEM

Cross-border payments today remain dependent on a network of intermediaries, resulting in delays, high costs, and limited transparency. Recent disruptions in global banking corridors and heightened compliance requirements have further exposed these inefficiencies.

MoonExe’s ExFi model addresses these challenges by enabling:

• Real-time settlement using stablecoins
• Direct liquidity matching across global markets
• Reduced reliance on traditional correspondent banking systems
• Transparent, on-chain verification of transactions

By leveraging blockchain infrastructure, MoonExe allows capital to move more efficiently across jurisdictions — without the friction of legacy processes.

EXCHANGE FINANCE (EXFI): A NEW SETTLEMENT PARADIGM

Unlike traditional payment systems, ExFi operates on a liquidity-driven execution model, where transactions are matched and settled through a network of liquidity providers rather than routed through multiple financial institutions.

This approach enables:

• Faster execution speeds
• Improved pricing through competitive liquidity
• Enhanced scalability across markets

As stablecoins continue to gain acceptance as a legitimate financial instrument, ExFi represents a practical bridge between digital assets and real-world financial activity.

POSITIONED FOR THE NEXT PHASE OF GLOBAL ADOPTION

Recent developments — including regulatory discussions around stablecoins, increased institutional participation, and the expansion of digital asset infrastructure — signal a broader shift toward alternative settlement systems.

MoonExe is designed to align with this trajectory.

“Our focus is simple — to make cross-border value transfer as seamless and efficient as possible,” said [Andrew Cruz], [CEO] at MoonExe. “We are not replacing the financial system, but enhancing how it operates by introducing more flexible and efficient settlement layers.”

REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS

MoonExe’s ExFi framework supports a wide range of use cases:

• Corporate treasury and cross-border payments
• Vendor and supplier settlements
• Remittance and global transfers
• Liquidity provisioning and FX optimization

By enabling faster and more cost-effective capital movement, MoonExe empowers businesses to operate more efficiently in an increasingly globalized economy.

LOOKING AHEAD

As the financial landscape continues to evolve, MoonExe aims to expand its liquidity network, strengthen integration with payment partners, and support broader adoption of stablecoin-based settlement systems.

The future of finance is not defined by a single system, but by how different systems connect — and MoonExe is building the infrastructure to make that possible.

ABOUT MOONEXE

MoonExe is a financial technology platform focused on cross-border payments, liquidity solutions, and digital asset-based settlement. Through its Exchange Finance (ExFi) framework, MoonExe enables faster, more transparent, and cost-efficient global transactions.

Jakarta, Indonesia, 6^th May 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Following a strong run of global editions that have consistently brought together enterprise leaders, policymakers, and investors, Trescon announces the Jakarta edition of World AI Show Indonesia alongside the launch of Finance 2045, scheduled for 7–8 July 2026 at Sheraton Grand Jakarta. The co-located platform is set to convene over 2,000 senior stakeholders for two days of focused dialogue, partnerships, and commercial outcomes.

Indonesia’s rapid growth across artificial intelligence and digital finance sets the context for the platform. The country’s AI market is projected to exceed USD 10 billion by 2030, while its digital economy is expected to surpass USD 130 billion in gross merchandise value, driven by fintech, digital payments, and e-commerce adoption.

The Jakarta edition of World AI Show marks the 47th global outing of the series and will host 1,000+ business and technology leaders, 30+ sponsors and exhibitors, 40+ speakers, and 40+ media and association partners, structured across 4+ thematic pillars. The platform is designed to move AI from pilot to production, with a clear focus on infrastructure readiness, inference costs, data integration, and governance frameworks as enterprises look to scale AI across core operations.

In parallel, Finance 2045 makes its global debut in Indonesia as a dedicated platform for banking, FinTech, and enterprise finance leaders, bringing together over 1,000 attendees, including 500+ enterprises and SMEs, 300+ BFSI leaders, 100+ government policymakers, 100+ investors, and 40+ speakers to address capital flows, financial infrastructure, and market expansion across Southeast Asia.

The co-location reflects a growing convergence between AI and financial services. AI is now embedded across payments, fraud detection, credit decisioning, risk management, and enterprise operations, making financial services one of the most active sectors for large-scale AI deployment. Bringing both platforms together creates a single, high-value environment where technology providers, financial institutions, and policymakers can align on infrastructure, regulation, and execution.

Indonesia provides a strong backdrop for this convergence. With a population of over 270 million and a rapidly expanding digital economy, the country is scaling both AI adoption and financial inclusion at pace. Growth in digital payments, banking, and SME participation continues to deepen market activity, positioning Indonesia as one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic economies.

Aligned with the Golden Indonesia 20245 (Indonesia Emas 2045), the national vision to become a high-income, digitally advanced economy by its centenary year, the platforms connect national priorities with enterprise execution. By bringing together key ministries, regulators, and industry leaders, it moves beyond dialogue to enable real partnerships, investments, and large-scale AI and financial transformation initiatives required for Indonesia’s growth by 2045.

The agenda across both platforms is built around execution. Discussions at World AI Show Indonesia will centre on scaling AI across enterprise environments, addressing infrastructure gaps, data readiness, and security, while aligning with emerging regulatory frameworks. Finance 2045 will extend the conversation across digital banking, embedded finance, tokenisation, SME financing, and sustainable finance, with a clear emphasis on investment opportunities and market access.

Miami, Florida, 4th May, 2026 — Following its advancement to the final selection round of CoinDesk’s Consensus 2026 PitchFest, R0AR is continuing to build momentum with the upcoming release of its most ambitious product to date: the R0AR Mobile (SMART) Wallet Version 3.

The company, which was recently recognized among a highly competitive global pool of Web3 and AI startups, is now turning that visibility into product expansion—introducing a significantly upgraded wallet experience designed to push the boundaries of usability, intelligence, and functionality in decentralized finance.

A Major Leap Forward in Web3 Wallet Technology

Scheduled for release in Q2 2026, the R0AR SMART Wallet (Version 3) represents a comprehensive evolution of the company’s mobile platform. The update introduces a wide range of new capabilities aimed at simplifying and enhancing how users interact with digital assets.

Among the most notable additions is full onramp and offramp functionality, enabling seamless movement between fiat and digital asset ecosystems. This feature is expected to reduce friction for both new and experienced users, making participation more accessible. 

The wallet also introduces “smart functions” powered by an advanced AI backend, designed to assist users with decision-making, automation, and real-time insights. This SMART AI layer represents a key step toward more intuitive and responsive digital asset management tools.

In addition to backend intelligence, Version 3 delivers a massively upgraded user interface, alongside expanded utilities, customizable settings, real-time alerts, and enhanced overall performance. The redesign focuses on creating a cleaner, faster, and more adaptive experience tailored to modern Web3 users.

Expanding Beyond Mobile: Revamped Browser Extension

Complementing the mobile release, R0AR is also rolling out a newly rebuilt browser extension compatible with Chrome, Brave, Chromium, and other supported browsers. The extension mirrors many of the mobile wallet’s advanced features, including integrated smart functions and AI-powered capabilities.

This cross-platform approach allows users to maintain a consistent and intelligent experience across devices, bridging the gap between desktop and mobile Web3 interactions.

From Recognition to Execution

R0AR’s product expansion comes on the heels of its near-semi-finalist placement at Consensus 2026 PitchFest—an achievement that positioned the company among a select group of emerging innovators in Web3 and AI.

Industry observers note that this combination of recognition and rapid product development reflects a broader trend: startups that successfully merge artificial intelligence with decentralized infrastructure are gaining increased attention from both investors and users.

“We’re not just building tools—we’re building smarter systems for how people interact with Web3,” said the company’s leadership. “The upcoming SMART Wallet is a major step in that direction, combining usability, intelligence, and powerful functionality into one unified experience.”

Looking Ahead

As R0AR prepares for the Q2 launch, the company is expected to showcase its latest innovations while continuing to engage with the global Web3 community following its Consensus 2026 appearance.

With enhanced wallet technology, AI integration, and cross-platform expansion, R0AR is positioning itself as a forward-looking player in the next phase of decentralized innovation—one where intelligence and accessibility go hand in hand.
