@reverberator75@get_optimum I like that Optimum continues to expand its team despite the bear market, it's a great sign that everything is going well in the project
RIALO STOPPED POSTING AND STARTED TALKING TO BANKS
After the Points launch in late August, official activity from @RialoHQ dropped sharply. The community still runs weekly Builders Hub sessions on Discord, but the project’s public voice has been quiet for over a month.
WHAT BOBBY ZAGOTTA SAID IN OCTOBER
In an interview with Bloomingbit, @BobbyZagotta outlined the current direction:
⭐️Rialo is targeting financial institutions, not another general-purpose L1
⭐️The team is in PoC discussions with multiple South Korean financial firms
⭐️Integration work with Cboe on institutional market data continues
⭐️Сore focus areas are RWA use cases, AI agents with spending limits through Latch, native privacy, and direct real-world data access
⭐️They will not rush a token until real use cases and a sustainable business model are clearer
THE ACTUAL TRADE-OFF
Most projects launch a token first and then look for demand. @RialoHQ is trying to reverse that order. The stated reason is that an early token turns the project into a price chart before the infrastructure has been tested with the institutions it claims to serve.
WHERE THINGS STAND RIGHT NOW
1⃣Points system is live
2⃣Public playground remains available
3⃣Community activity on Discord continues
4⃣No public mainnet or token timeline
5⃣Korean institutional conversations are still at the discussion stage
