A longer version of this article with Editor’s Notes is available on the BitPinas newsletter . SRK on OKX DEX Blockchain and AI project SparkPoint’s SRK token is now available on decentralized exchange aggregator OKX DEX. How to buy SRK on OKX DEX: SparkPoint (SRK) is the native token of SparkPoint Technologies Inc., a Philippine-based blockchain company launched in 2018 that integrates blockchain and artificial intelligence to deliver practical digital solutions. The SRK token powers a range of products, including a multi-crypto wallet, educational platform, blockchain games, DeFi services, and the SparkAgent AI Agents Launchpad. Amnis Finance x Hiraya Airdrop In an X post, Hiraya Network announced its team-up with Amnis Finance, a liquid staking platform on Aptos, for an airdrop. This allowed their community members and followers to earn one of the 15 Supporter NFTs worth 100 $AMI. The campaign ends on May 6. Web3 Bulacan at QCU IGNITE Summit 2025 The local web3 community, Web3 Bulacan, shared that it recently attended Quezon City University’s IGNITE Summit 2025. The group was invited by QCU’s College of Computer Studies along with the student organizations that organized the event. The community noted that their contributor and QCU faculty member Dr. Rhonnel Paculanan highlighted web3 in his “Blockchain Technology and Its Purpose in Education” talk. IThink Code Camp at QCU ICP Hub Philippines’ iThink Code Camp was held at Quezon City University on April 29, 2025. It was an in-depth workshop focused on building decentralized applications using the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP). Participants learned about ICP’s unique blockchain features, set up local development environments, and built smart contracts (canisters) in TypeScript or Motoko to perform CRUD operations. The program included sessions on frontend and backend deployment to ICP, Internet Identity authentication, and hands-on use of the DFX command line interface. BitPinas Report: Tantin Exchange’s PH Launch Raises Red Flags Tantin Exchange, set to launch in the Philippines on May 8, 2025, promotes its native token $CTC through an airdrop and aggressive marketing promising “millions” in earnings and “zero risk.” However, red flags have been raised over its multi-level marketing-style referral system and the platform’s lack of regulatory registration. Its founder, Yu Lingxiong, has a history of involvement in alleged pyramid schemes and previously faced scrutiny in Cambodia, where authorities have taken action against TTX for operating without a license. Base Batch Workshops Base Batch Web3 Workshops are set to take place across various cities in the Philippines, including Manila, Legazpi, Naga, Bulacan, Pampanga, Bataan, Cebu, Tagum, Panabo, and Davao City. These community-hosted events, part of the global Base Batch hackathon, aim to empower developers and builders through hands-on training, networking, and opportunities to compete for Ethereum ($ETH) prizes and incubator placements. The initiative is aligned with Base’s mission to grow its Layer 2 Ethereum ecosystem in the country. Base Batch, running from April 25 to May 16, 2025, is a global builder program designed to support innovative on-chain applications across tracks like AI, DeFi, mini-apps, and more. The top-performing teams can secure up to $1 million in funding, with finalists advancing to exclusive incubators and Demo Day.
