SyncAI has officially been onboarded to @Catalyst_onX for the 2026 Pilot! It's time to connect Cardano to everyday commerce and we're going to help achieve that by making Cardano stablecoins spendable in the real world with anyqr. Thank you to the Catalyst team for the hard work and commitment to elevating Catalyst funding standards, we are thankful for you. Next stop: mainnet

Citrine solves one of Cardano's most persistent economic problems: attracting productive capital and giving it something useful to do. There are tens of billions of dollars sitting in stablecoins across crypto. At the same time, real-world payment business regularly need access to capital for very short-periods of time. Citrine wants to connect the two, using Cardano.

SyncAI is applying for PRIME funding. We've submitted a proposal called "Citrine" in the RWAs: on-chain credit category. The opportunity is enormous and builds on something we've already started (live on testnet, targeting mainnet Q4 2026) called anyqr. $74.9B in USDC sits on other chains. Cardano holds just $67M in stablecoins, mostly earning reward tokens. Citrine is designed to give that capital a reason to come to Cardano by connecting stablecoin liquidity with real-world payment demand. → Deposit USDC from any chain, it lands on Cardano as TVL → Local payment operators borrow it for ≤5 days → Savers earn up to ~15% from real payment fees. Every deposit becomes Cardano TVL. Every operator credit line is backed by staked ADA and the yield comes from real economic activity rather than token emissions.

We're building a new way to spend Cardano-native stablecoins in the real world without the merchant even needing to know crypto was involved 👀 Across India, Brazil, Venezuela, Indonesia, Vietnam and other emerging markets millions of merchants already accept QR payments daily. UPI. PIX. QRIS. VietQR. PromptPay. At the same time, these markets are among the biggest adopters of crypto and stablecoins in the world. The rails and the dollars exists but nothing connects them. Enter anyqr by SyncAI anyqr allows you to scan a merchants existing QR code and pay with USDCx on Cardano, for example. A local liquidity provider completes the payment through the merchant’s normal fiat QR rail, while the USDCx is secured by an onchain escrow. The merchant doesn't need a wallet. They don’t need to accept USDCx. They just receive the local currency they already accept. Underneath it all is Cardano. Non-custodial Aiken escrow. CIP-0170 identities for buyers and merchants. Onchain reputation. An open merchant order book. And eventually a public SDK allowing Cardano wallets to embed the same pay-to-QR flow directly. This is what stablecoin adoption should look like.

We're incredibly grateful that SyncAI has been selected as 1 of 12 teams to participate in the Catalyst Pilot 2026! Time to work 💪

One of the biggest opportunities of our lifetime is building solutions that leverage both AI and blockchain. There's so much room for innovation as these technologies scale. We're on it 🫡

We're still building for Cardano 💪 We've never left, even though our original ICO was unsuccessful in November 2024. We kept building, we stayed. We launched tools, we've won Hackathons, we don't give up. We are SyncAI

With anyqr, every payment generated means USDCx moving on Cardano, transactions settling on Cardano and fees being generated on Cardano. We're making Cardano stablecoins spendable in the real-world 🤝

It's fun to see concepts we tried to introduce to Cardano in 2024 coming to life now, in 2026. It's important to stay open to ideas because ideas and innovation are the bedrock of any flourishing ecosystem. We're happy to see it, and we'll continue forging our own path, putting our vision to work in the best way we know how 💪

AI is creating a whole new class of economic actor: MACHINES! Machines that buy data. Pay for compute. Hire other agents. Settle transactions. Unlike humans, they need money that can move at software speed. Someone needs to build out the infra 👀 Who!?

Stablecoins are only as valuable as the infra built around them. Getting USDCx onto Cardano was step one. Now we need to build the rails that make those dollars useful: payments, commerce, DeFi and real economic activity! xitter.cf/SyncAI_Network/status/…

We built something really cool 👀

AI is making intelligence abundant. Trust is the scarce resource.

AI can greatly reduce friction and complexity in the blockchain space. That's one of the more compelling use-cases. Example: our AI Agent CANDI is tapped into 80+ Cardano tools to give users easy and quick access to blockchain data.

AI doesn't really have an intelligence problem anymore but it does have a TRUST PROBLEM 👀 We have models that are increasingly capable of performing complex work. What we don't have is a standardized way to prove: → who an agent is → what it's allowed to access → what actions it's authorized to perform → who is accountable for those actions This is a massive opportunity for Cardano. The ecosystem that solves identify, permissions and trust will become the operating system AI runs on.

AI can play a bigger role in making Cardano's governance systems more efficient and accessible. We've built custom AI tools that have full knowledge of Cardano and governance, putting knowledge and insights at users fingertips. Participation increases when we make it easy.
