Dear Nerons:

In August 2025, NERO Chain accelerated across three fronts: global presence, product innovation, and community growth. From Osaka to Tokyo, from staking to gaming, this month was about making NERO tangible — on-chain and in the real world.

WebX 2025 & Beyond

At the WebX Fintech EXPO in Osaka, we shared how NERO is rewriting blockspace for the next era of applications. The buzz then carried over to Tokyo at WebX 2025, where our booth was alive with energy, connecting with builders, partners, and friends from across the Web3 ecosystem.

But we didn’t stop there. NERO hosted its own Developer Meetup in Tokyo, an invite-only side event with live dApp demos, AA wallet hacking, and exclusive $NERO quests. Just 30 seats. All alpha.

Alongside, NERO Chain’s CEO Jake took the stage at Blockchain NEXUS Tokyo and the Japan Blockchain Week Summit 2025 (AI Edition), where he spoke on the intersection of crypto and AI — signaling where NERO is heading next.

Staking Goes LiveSecurity first. Always.This month, NERO DeFi Staking officially launched. With fixed-term lockups of 3, 6, or 12 months, users can now earn guaranteed rewards with transparent, fixed APRs. The contract was fully audited by DogScan, ensuring clean code and zero backdoors.

To celebrate, we rolled out Stake & Win, giving the community a chance to compete for 10,000 $NERO plus additional rewards. It wasn’t just staking. It was staking with momentum.

Gaming & Culture

Web3 is culture. And culture games.We announced our partnership with Planet Hares (@0xhares) to bring Nobody Jackpot — an AI-native metaverse experience where iconic IPs meet USDT-backed PvP action. This collaboration pushes Web3 gaming into new territory: where value and play converge, on-chain.

Growing the Samurai Squad

Expansion means people.In August, we kicked off recruitment for the NERO Samurai Squad, with new regional community manager roles in Vietnam 🇻🇳 and Thailand 🇹🇭. These leaders will grow local communities, activate KOLs, and lead NERO’s on-chain charge in Southeast Asia.

Community & Connection

In August, we shared warm wishes with our Japanese community during Obon, to spark visions with the prompt “$NERO is the future of ______,” August was about strengthening bonds. Giveaways, ticket passes, and shared moments turned online connections into something truly alive.

Looking Ahead

August was a month of scale. Events, staking, partnerships, and people all came together with a clear direction: forward.NERO is not just building infrastructure. It is creating momentum, value, and culture. As we enter September, one thing is clear: the future is already being built on NERO.
