The blockchain and Web3 incubator WebN Group, backed by billionaire Alan Howard, has announced its closure, according to insiders who say the organization has successfully completed its mission. In recent years, WebN has incubated several digital infrastructure startups, including the tokenization specialist KAIO (formerly Libre), the crypto staking platform Twinstake, the blockchain infrastructure company TruFin, and the zero-knowledge proof startup Geometry. In 2023, Laser Digital, a crypto collaboration institution under Japan's Nomura Bank, invested in WebN.Insiders indicate that WebN's closure is unrelated to Howard's own digital asset strategy, with some employees having transitioned to Howard's hedge fund Brevan Howard. Despite BH Digital's digital asset fund losing nearly 30% last year, Brevan Howard remains optimistic about digital assets, and its venture capital business continues to focus on the broad opportunities in this field.

The open-source AI trading system NoFx developer Tinkle issued a statement yesterday regarding the community controversy sparked by early project participant Zack. It stated that Zack joined the project on October 29, 2025, after it was open-sourced, participated for about 14 days, and contributed a small amount of code. He then demanded 50% equity in exchange for introducing Amber for commercialization. After being rejected, he withheld the project's Twitter account and demanded 500,000 USDT through a lawyer's letter, while also spreading false information through multiple channels. Tinkle stated that relevant records are verifiable and that the team will no longer respond to personal disputes, focusing instead on product development.In response, Zack issued a statement refuting the claims, stating that the allegations are seriously false and damage his personal reputation. The lawyer's letter was sent by a law firm, evidence has been preserved by the lawyer, and the claims are legal and compliant. If the dispute cannot be resolved through legal channels, he will publicly disclose complete video, audio, chat records, and timelines as evidence.The official NoFx X account subsequently published an open letter stating that recent discussions regarding community members, code usage boundaries, and intellectual property have been handed over to a professional legal team for unified handling. It denied rumors involving financing and利益输送, emphasizing that NoFx is a community-driven open-source project rather than a commercial company. The team also reiterated that the project is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and will legally uphold open-source standards and contributor rights, focusing on building an AI Trading OS that supports self-hosting and multi-platform trading access.Additionally, the ecosystem accelerator amber.ac under Amber Group also issued a statement, clearly stating that there is currently no formal incubation, investment, or commercial cooperation relationship with the NoFx project. The two parties have only engaged in open industry exchanges and called on all parties to return to technical and rational communication to promote healthy ecological development.
