25 Metre breast stroke and now this.

What a growth arc.

[Tom D @TomdBTC]

Big news for the community.

Parfin, Team and Investors re-affirm their commitment to Rayls- ahead of more milestones dropping this quarter.

But where do people get better music for their animated videos?

[Rayls @RaylsLabs]

Rayls Investors and Team have extended the vesting of their $RLS allocations.

Their tokens will now unlock monthly over four years from May 2027, replacing the unlock originally planned for December 2026.

Together with @parfin_io's lock-up extension announced in August, the two locks combined mean ≈1.2B less $RLS in circulation through 2027, around 25% less than originally planned.

It also means over half a billion $RLS will remain locked in December 2026.

The result is slower, smoother $RLS unlocks, reinforcing the long-term alignment between Rayls' early backers, its core builders, and the wider community.

Watch the full breakdown of the new schedule.

Crypto has spent years building the infrastructure. But what will actually bring the next 100 million users onchain?

From payments and consumer apps to better user experiences, we're exploring what it will take to make Web3 mainstream.

Very excited for this one.

A lot of unseen work goes on behind the scenes to get to this point.

Each finish line is a new starting line.

The race to Top 20 Chain TVL starts now.

[Rayls @RaylsLabs]

Something big is coming to Rayls.

On 15th October, Rayls Vaults go live.

We’re starting with AmFi-powered receivables, following the extended agreement reached during Febraban Tech.

More details on the Vaults, the assets, and what’s next will be revealed over the coming days.

Stay tuned.

[Tom D @TomdBTC]

Congrats to Canopy on a successful TGE.

I am excited to collab on some campaigns to bring our communities closer together.

[Canopy @CNPYNetwork]

Canopy is partnering with @RaylsLabs.

Rayls is the EVM Layer 1 connecting institutions to blockchain liquidity, with built-in privacy and compliance. Canopy is the agent-native development framework for launching sovereign onchain apps.

Together, we're bringing the Canopy and Rayls communities closer through shared initiatives, education and community activations.

This is the start. More to come.

[Alex Buelau @x10xalex]

Yesterday at Febraban Tech, João Pirola co-founder and CPO at AmFi came by our booth.

We’ve now agreed engineering timelines for bringing AmFi’s $400m on-chain book onto Rayls under our existing agreement. Work starts in September.

We also agreed to expand the scope of what we’re building together (more on that in the next couple of weeks - it’s part of a larger announcement related to Rayls vaults).

[Rayls @RaylsLabs]

Reuters has covered the launch of Rayls Sovereign.

The coverage explores how financial institutions can bring assets and transaction activity onchain while maintaining the privacy, control and compliance requirements of existing financial infrastructure

As Sovereign becomes publicly available, we’re proud to see this next chapter of institutional blockchain infrastructure covered by one of the world’s leading financial news organizations.

Read the full @Reuters coverage below 👇

[Tom D @TomdBTC]

Thanks to the whole team for their work on launching Sovereign today.

This is the culmination of over 2 years work with 30 financial institutions, resulting in architecture, performance and interoperability, worthy of celebrating with current and future clients at @FEBRABANTECH.

[Rayls @RaylsLabs]

The wait for institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure is over.

Today, we’re launching Rayls Sovereign: https://t.co/Z6sa0vcvKe

A private blockchain that gives each financial institution its own sovereign ledger.

It runs inside the institution’s own perimeter, integrates with existing banking and treasury systems, and connects to private networks and public liquidity.

The underlying platform has been in production since June 2024, with 30+ financial institutions installing and using it across tokenised deposits, stablecoins, tokenised assets, and regulated settlement.

@Rayls_LATAM @mcvviriato @x10xalex @bm_allan_ @Milena_events Hey @boardyai, you know anyone in São Paulo we should invite to this?

[Tom D @TomdBTC]

Soon.

@AliceSh15 @x10xalex @RaylsLabs @ETHGlobal @ETHLisbon Thanks for coming!
great to see you again @AliceSh15 .

[Alex Buelau @x10xalex]

I highly recommend everyone watches this.

XP is a massive company, a Nasdaq listed (ticker $XP ), regulated financial institution with $330 billion in assets under management.

Rayls is a core part of their digital assets strategy, and although it was challenging to get their Marcos Horie, who leads their digital asset strategy to this AMA due to conflicting agendas, I am happy to see it worked out in the end!

[Tom D @TomdBTC]

@FlorianMoi93884 @RaylsLabs @obligatecom @petebidewell Yep, It’s not straightforward to coordinate two busy CEOs who are constantly travelling around the world- it’s coming.

[Tom D @TomdBTC]
