The LeoVerse is an ever-evolving ecosystem that is building the future of social and finance onchain. Our ecosystem is pushing forward on 4 major fronts:
- DEX
- AI
- Tokenization
- Social media
In this post, we'll walk through this week's biggest updates and rollouts from the LEO Economy.
- LeoAI Releases Rafiki 1.0 Model
- Tokenized Gold (TGLD) is LIVE for Trading on LeoDex. The 2nd LEO-backed RWA
- LeoKit is Releasing Soon
- LeoKit has Integrators Lining Up
- sLEO Rewards Set to Begin Soon
- Our Near Intents Integration Bringing Record Volume
LeoAI Releases Rafiki 1.0 Model
Rafiki 1.0 has officially been released. You can go to INLEO Threads and utilize Rafiki 1.0 and even fine-tune him in real-time.
LeoAI's initial model is seeded with a few core datasets. As we fine-tune the model, we will integrate additional datasets that will expand his knowledge base.
Rafiki is an incredibly capable AI that can handle nearly any question you throw at him. If his datasets don't include something, he will do his best to look it up on the internet.
If he can't find the info, he'll let you know. He will also tell you if something is coming later as a feature of his ever-expanding datasets.
You can also use the "#feedback" tag and Rafiki will read your feedback and consider it for future conversations. We as a team also scour the feedback and conversations with Rafiki for ways we can improve his model.
Go to https://inleo.io/threads and interact with Rafiki! The more you engage with him, the smarter he becomes.
This is our "ChatGPT 1.0" moment. We have a lot of plans for rafiki and if you want to see the roadmap of how we're going to deliver a Rafiki-native interface along with dozens of other features including agentic solutions; read this blog post about @askrafiki.
To call Rafiki on Threads:
- Tag him @askrafiki
- Use the tag "#askleo"
- Reply to him directly on any other thread
Creating a LEO Standard for RWAs | Tokenized Gold (TGLD) is LIVE
TGLD is the 2nd LEO-Backed RWA built by LeoStrategy. You can trade it directly on https://LeoDex.io or on any Hive-Engine Interface by searching "TGLD".
TGLD is a cross-chain asset that mirrors 1:100 with SPDR GLD on TradFi. It also pays a daily yield to HODLers in the form of stablecoins (or you can opt-in for TGLD autocompounding / LSTR payouts).
We're building a LEO-Standard for Real-World Assets. LeoStrategy is building this as a Digital Asset Treasury company (DAT) and LeoDex is giving these assets a platform by listing their Base Pairs (Uniswap Routes).
This means that all RWAs are fully backed (over-collateralized) by LEO held on LeoStrategy's Balance Sheet.
It also means that RWAs are adding immediate and long-term value to LEO because LeoStrategy uses 100% of proceeds to purchase LEO every single day and permanently lock it up in their vault.
If you want to Trade TSLA or GLD on Hive-Engine or Base, use TTSLA or TGLD to speculate:
LeoKit Development Kicked to High Gear
LeoKit is a cross-chain toolkit that allows apps, wallets and interfaces to integrate LeoDex's Backend so that they can have cross-chain swaps inside their application.
LeoDex is building LeoKit for integrators who want to build cross-chain swaps into their apps.
LeoKit is a radically new innovation when it comes to cross-chain SDK's. SwapKit is the #1 SDK in this space and we believe we have built something dramatically superior to this.
In typical LEO fashion; we want to build something that is futuristic and vastly more capable than other products on the market.
With LeoKit, we are setting the bar very high.
Integrators can use LeoKit to generate APIs that allow them to perform cross-chain swaps in as little as 60 seconds. The fees LeoKit charges relative to competitors like SwapKit is also vastly cheaper.
100% of those fees flow to sLEO stakers as USDC they can claim each day.
We are aiming to have LeoKit live before the end of 2025 and we already have ~10 integrators lined up. Some of these integrators currently use other toolkits and are unhappy with how they work / the lack of modularity.
LeoKit solves their problems and we are working hand-in-hand with them while we build LeoKit to ensure our product meets the customer where they are. You will recognize some of these wallets as the biggest wallets/apps in the crypto space. We are excited to unveil it before the end of this year.
sLEO Migration nearly Complete
Our team has been giving time to the community to migrate from the old Staked LEO (sLEO) contract to the new one.
The migration only takes a few minutes and we want as many wallets to migrate as possible before rewards turn back on.
This is the most fair approach as it prevents people from missing out on LeoDex fees. We understand that this is a frustrating process but it is an absolutely necessary one. Thank you for your patience while we roll this out. It is likely the only time this will need to happen.
Near Intents Volume on LeoDex Skyrockets
LeoDex.io has Integrated Near Intents which is an incredible cross-chain swapping protocol. It brings best-in-class fees and super fast execution.
LeoDex has recently seen a surge in cross-chain swaps using our Near Intents routes. This is amazing to us as Near's volume is only just beginning to scale.
Our team's focus right now is establishing ourselves as a top Near Intents interface to gain more volume flows now and in the future.
Near Intents is also available as a protocol in LeoKit and many integrators are asking for access to it.
The volume from Near Intents on LeoDex has surged to ~$3M in the past 30 days. Pretty amazing to start!

STOPLeoVerse Weekly Recap Highlights
Rafiki 1.0 Launch: LeoAI's new LLM, trained on INLEO/Hive data (blogs, threads, upvotes, etc.), debuted for real-time use on Threads. Tag @askrafiki or #askleo to query anything— he analyzes contexts, images, or links, and learns from interactions. More datasets incoming for better accuracy. Premium users get copilot features soon.
TGLD Goes Live: Second LEO-backed RWA (tokenized gold mirroring SPDR GLD 1:1) now tradable on LeoDex (Base pairs) or Hive-Engine. Over-collateralized by LEO, yields daily stablecoins (or auto-compound LSTR). Proceeds buy/lock LEO daily, boosting ecosystem value. Follows TTSLA model.
LeoKit Progress: Cross-chain SDK for easy DEX integrations in apps/wallets. Cheaper/faster than rivals like SwapKit, with fees to sLEO stakers. 10+ integrators (major wallets) onboard; launch targeted before 2025 end.
sLEO Rewards Restart: Migration from old contract nearly done—quick process to avoid missing fees. Rewards (USDC daily from LeoDex) resume soon for fairness.
Near Intents Boom: LeoDex's integration hit ~$3M volume in 30 days via fast, low-fee cross-chain swaps. Available in LeoKit too, drawing more flows.
Ecosystem fuels LEO flywheel: DEX, AI, RWAs, social. For AMA recap, check the linked video. What's your take on these? 🚀
