On December 12, at the recently concluded Abu Dhabi BNB Hackathon, CZ (Changpeng Zhao) and DragonVerse founder Natsuki held a highly aligned, forward-looking deep dive on the key development space for culture and IP on blockchain. On-site, CZ expressed strong anticipation for this direction, stating: “We welcome IPs like Dragon Ball to join BNB Chain.” Subsequently, the BNB Chain official Twitter account shared a photo of CZ and Natsuki’s in-person dialogue, retweeted Natsuki’s post, and replied: “Just keep building.” BNB Chain Growth Lead Nina Rong and the BNB Chain official Chinese account also chimed in with support. Later, DragonVerse launched a Dragon Ball IP royalty-driven buyback and dividend system. It also announced that the second Dragon Ball series IP asset will join its portfolio next week—boosting annualized returns and expanding the on-chain Dragon Ball universe through additional IP acquisitions.

Official sources confirm Binance Alpha will be the first platform to list RaveDAO (RAVE). Trading for RAVE on Binance Alpha is scheduled to launch at 20:00 UTC+8 on December 12, 2025. Once trading kicks off, users with at least 230 Alpha Points can claim 400 RAVE tokens on a first-come, first-served basis. If the reward pool isn’t fully claimed, the points threshold will automatically drop by 5 points every 5 minutes. Claiming the airdrop requires 15 Alpha Points (deducted upon confirmation). Users must complete confirmation on the Alpha event page within 24 hours—failing to do so will result in automatic forfeiture of their claim.

On December 12th at the Solana Breakpoint Conference, Metaplex (Solana ecosystem’s digital economy platform) Chief Design Officer Stephen announced: “The Genesis SDK’s first public release is now live. The SDK will empower a range of apps—including those building dedicated trading platform launchpads, or tools to monitor and alert traders.” Additionally, when a new token launches on-chain, any app can integrate and immediately use a smart contract built on a fair distribution model.

On December 12, Firedancer—the Solana independent validator client developed by Jump Crypto—announced its official launch on the Solana mainnet after three years of development. Per official sources, the client has run stably on a handful of validator nodes for 100 days and successfully produced 50,000 blocks.

December 12th — Jun, Co-Founder of Solana ecosystem DEX Bulk, spoke at the Solana Breakpoint Conference: “As a liquidity provider, when we traded across spot and perpetual markets on various platforms, we quickly recognized Solana is currently the best ecosystem to build on. It’s not just home to an exceptional team, but also boasts the highest net asset inflows, most diverse community, and robust product lineup. However, it has long lacked a truly professional trading experience, and the problem ultimately boils down to three key areas: latency, a robust risk engine, and user experience. We’re here to solve that problem.”
