DeriW Sees Rapid Growth Post-Mainnet Launch, Redefining Perp DEX Standards with CEX-Rivaling Experience

HONG KONG, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DeriW, a decentralized futures trading platform incubated by CoinW, has seen rapid growth following its mainnet launch, as the perp DEX sector continues to capture the spotlight, experiencing accelerated development fueled by a surging influx of capital and expertise.

Marked by instant execution, zero funding rates, and a razor-thin 0.01% trading fee, DeriW is storming the scene with its CEX-comparable trading experience, rising as a pivotal force reshaping the future of decentralized derivatives.

Meet DeriW: The Dark Horse in Perp DEX

At TOKEN2049 Singapore, DeriW shone brightly as a rising star in the perp DEX space. The platform’s bold vision and ultra-competitive cost model have sparked lively discussions on-site, grabbing news headlines across leading media outlets.

The striking presence at the influential crypto summit reflects DeriW’s recent robust momentum. Since launching its mainnet in August, it has attracted over 40,000 users, with a cumulative trading volume surpassing $900 million.

The platform has drawn rave reviews from users as well. Its incentive mechanisms are widely praised as “real and rewarding” within the community, and many users claim trading on the platform feels seamless – to a level rivaling major centralized players.

For DeriW, this dual endorsement from business metrics and user sentiment provides a solid foundation for its ongoing expansion.

Enhanced speed, cost efficiency, and security: Crafting a CEX-Rivaling Trading Experience

DeriW’s swift ascent stems from its technical competitiveness across three fronts: speed, cost efficiency, and security.

DeriW is equipped with its proprietary Pendulum AMM, a design to enable zero-slippage trading and enhance capital efficiency and market depth. With cutting-edge matching mechanisms, transactions can be completed in milliseconds, boosting user confidence with high efficiency.

Meanwhile, DeriW has implemented a fee structure consisting of zero funding rates, zero gas fees and 0.01% trading fees. This brings its overall trading cost to just one-fifth of those of mainstream players, unlocking greater profit potential for traders.

On the security side, DeriW has established robust risk infrastructures, drawing on CoinW’s eight years of proven expertise. They are characterized by a non-custodial wallet design giving users real asset ownership, and a comprehensive audit from CertiK to boost trust and transparency.

Supernova+: Fueling the Growth with an Effective Incentive System

Well-designed incentive mechanisms have become a critical accelerator for early-stage Perp DEX projects. DeriW’s Supernova+ points program is the vivid example.

The program, designed to encourage users to build the ecosystem through trading, referrals, and community engagement, has concluded its first season recently, generating strong community buzz.

Supernova+ provides a clear path for value accumulation: participants earn 5 DER+ points for every 50 USDT in eligible trading volume, and they can earn 300% of their invitees’ trading points through referrals. These points serve not only as the primary credential for future TGE airdrops, but also as tickets to feature unlocks and long-term utilities.

With these metrics, DeriW aims to create an incentive program rewarding users for trading behavior rather than artificial task farming. This approach cultivates a loyal user base and lays the groundwork for a thriving ecosystem.

Future Roadmap: Deepening User-Driven Optimizations

Looking ahead, DeriW is committed to elevating the trading experience through user-driven optimizations. Key priorities include improving the ecosystem, listing a broader range of financial products, and cultivating a global trading community.

“Decentralization should not come at the expense of speed and accessibility,” DeriW’s PR Manager, Tharaka Kahaduwa stated. “We aspire to be the first platform that truly harmonizes decentralization, security, and seamlessness, empowering our users with the best possible derivatives trading journey.” 

Leading the Change: The Perp DEX ‘Experience Revolution’ Unfolds

Perp DEXs are spearheading an “experience revolution” in derivatives trading through intermediary-free operations, low costs, and asset non-custody. At the forefront of this shift, DeriW is redefining the future of decentralized derivatives with its offering, ushering users into a new era of on-chain finance.

As iterations accelerate and reach widens, DeriW is crafting tomorrow’s benchmark—one lightning trade at a time.

About DeriW 

DeriW is the first zero-gas-fee decentralized perpetual contract exchange, blending Ethereum’s security with Layer 3 scalability to deliver CEX-like efficiency in a decentralized framework. Operated by CoinW’s seasoned fintech team, it redefines trading with 80,000 TPS throughput, ensuring speed, transparency, and trustless execution.

Kling AI Redefines Content Creation with AI-Powered Films at MIPCOM Cannes


CANNES, FRANCE – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 October 2025 – Kling AI, the AI-powered creative platform from Kuaishou Technology, made a compelling debut at MIPCOM Cannes, the premier gathering of television professionals, buyers and innovative content creators. The platform showcased a captivating collection of short films from global creators, demonstrating the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in video production.

Kling AI showcases “Echo Hunter: A Memory Too Far” during MIPCOM Cannes

MIPCOM Cannes, held annually at the Palais des Festivals, attracts over 12,000 industry professionals from more than 100 countries, including top buyers, production companies, distributors, and broadcasters. The intersection of content owners, streaming platforms, global brands, and the creator economy makes Cannes the key meeting point for shaping the next phase of media.

A highlight of Kling AI’s showcase at MIPCOM Cannes was Echo Hunter: A Memory Too Far,a groundbreaking prequel created in collaboration with U.S. creative studio Phantam X and directed by Kavan Cardoza (known as “Kavan the Kid”). The film, starring human actors including Canadian-American influencer King Bach, pioneered the use of Kling AI’s latest 2.5 Turbo model to generate complex and costly scenes, from dramatic car crashes to heart-racing chase scenes.

The film builds on the success of its predecessor, Echo Hunter, which was the first AI-generated film approved by the Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). The new prequel, with its trailer, has garnered over 2.5 million views globally across all platforms.

“We’re witnessing a significant shift as content creators are no longer using AI for single clips; they are leveraging it to develop entire IP series with the potential to evolve into large-scale, impactful projects,” said Zheru Liu, Manager of Parternerships at Kling AI.

Global Spotlight on AI Storytelling

Also at MIPCOM, Kling AI hosted a dedicated screening session for ten exceptional short films, selected from over 4,600 submissions to its global NextGen Creative Contest. The initiative, launched to celebrate AI-powered visual innovation, attracted participants from 122 countries and regions, competing for a $42,000 prize pool and 1.25 million Kling AI credits.

Hailing from diverse countries across Asia, Europe, and North America, the ten final pieces explore a wide spectrum of themes, from intimate human experiences to bringing ancient history to life. Ghost Lap, a short film from the U.K., tells the story of a young driver who finds himself reaching for more than just victory – he’s racing the memory of the one who never crossed the line. Lost & Found from Poland is an intimate look into the life of a boy who lost himself in immersive worlds created by his imagination.

The contest winners will be announced on October 18, with their films featured at an exclusive Kling AI event during the Tokyo International Film Festival.

Shaping the Future at the MIP Innovation Lab

Reflecting the industry’s embrace of AI, MIPCOM’s newly inaugurated MIP Innovation Lab served as a dedicated space for the intersection of content, technology, and audience behavior. Kling AI participated in discussions alongside industry powerhouses like Luma AI and Mantis AI, exploring AI’s potential to transform every aspect of the entertainment ecosystem.

Kling AI further reinforced its leadership by spotlighting its collaborations. This includes nine AI-generated short films produced with renowned Chinese directors such as Jia Zhangke and Academy Award-winning art director Timmy Yip, celebrated for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. On the global stage, Kling AI has also teamed up with leading AI studios like Phantom X, bringing to life projects such as Michael Mitchell’s The Variable, S.A.V.’s OG Prime and Kavan the Kid’s Echo Hunter: A Memory Too Far.

Gennie, a generative AI content studio uniquely focused on documentary and non-fiction storytelling, tapped into Kling AI to produce a trailer for a film that was also showcased during MIPCOM.

“At Gennie, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with generative video. Kling AI’s technology has allowed us to achieve a new level of fidelity and scale in our reenactments — it’s a key part of how we’re transforming factual television production into something faster, smarter, and more cinematic,” said Max Einhorn, CEO and Co-Founder of Gennie.

As Zheru Liu commented, “The future of content creation is collaborative, merging human ingenuity with AI’s expansive capabilities. Our presence at MIPCOM underscores our commitment to empowering creators worldwide to tell their stories in unprecedented ways.”

Avathon Launches Autonomy for Aerospace Operations

Autonomy has moved beyond the cockpit to the factory floor, the hangar, and the supply chain—transforming Aerospace Operations

PLEASANTON, Calif., Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Avathon today announced the launch of Autonomy for Aerospace Operations, a unified AI and knowledge platform that connects manufacturing, supply chain, and maintenance data to drive coordinated decision-making across the aerospace lifecycle.

Avathon is the leader in Industrial AI.
Avathon is the leader in Industrial AI.

By integrating insights from production quality, Bill of Materials (BOM), supplier sourcing, parts availability, and workforce capacity, the platform enables organizations to synchronize manufacturing and logistics decisions with in-service maintenance and repair operations—reducing Aircraft on Ground (AOG) events, improving throughput and quality, and strengthening fleet readiness.

The aerospace industry faces mounting operational pressures. Airlines and operators must maintain aging fleets while executing complex network repairs; OEMs must scale production while meeting uncompromising quality standards; and supply chains are strained by diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS), long lead times, and geopolitical or trade-driven sourcing constraints.

At the same time, technician shortages and retirements create critical gaps across maintenance teams, threatening both schedule compliance and asset availability.

These pressures are amplified by the mismatch between aircraft lifecycles and component lifecycles, requiring continuous spare-parts redesign, strategic positioning, and supply-chain orchestration. With over 700,000 new maintenance technicians projected to be needed globally by 2043—and the U.S. short by 50,000 in just two years—alongside components turning over every 5–10 years, aerospace organizations must adopt intelligent, autonomous operations to maintain production efficiency, fleet readiness, and network reliability.

Avathon’s Autonomy Platform is already deployed within several of the world’s leading aerospace organizations. These collaborations ensure Avathon’s solutions address the operational realities of OEMs, MROs, and Air Transport operators.

“The aerospace sector is balancing extraordinary demand with extraordinary constraints,” said Beckett Jackson, Board Member at Avathon and Partner at AE Industrial Partners. “As investors, we see the opportunity for AI to fundamentally change how this industry manages complexity. Avathon’s approach stands out because it doesn’t just provide insights or narrow automation—it reasons across manufacturing, maintenance, and supply networks in a way that compounds efficiency and resilience over time.”

The Avathon Autonomy Platform converts dispersed data across manufacturing, supply, and in-service operations into knowledge that autonomous agents act on in real time.

“Autonomy represents the next leap forward for aerospace operations,” said Bernie Dunn, Advisor to Avathon and former President of Boeing Middle East, Turkey, and Africa. “Having worked with OEMs and airlines across multiple regions, I’ve seen firsthand how operational complexity and supply constraints ripple across the globe. The industry doesn’t just need better data—it needs systems that can act on it in real time. Avathon’s platform embeds decision-making where it matters most—maintenance, quality, and supply—delivering efficiency and resilience across every operation, anywhere in the world.”

Powered by a computational knowledge graph (CKG), the Avathon Autonomy Platform connects operational data across assets, people, and processes. The system continuously learns from new inputs, allowing AI agents to reason across the full lifecycle—from build to maintain to sustain—while remaining transparent and fully auditable.

“Aerospace is one of the most complex operating environments on earth,” said Pervinder Johar, CEO of Avathon. “Our mission is to bring autonomy to operations that can’t fail—whether it’s a factory floor or a fleet in service. By uniting data across manufacturing, maintenance, and supply, we’re helping the industry achieve safer, faster, and more efficient performance at scale.”

Autonomy for Aerospace Operations is available now for OEMs, MROs, and commercial operators. Visit www.avathon.com for more information.

About Avathon:

Avathon delivers industrial autonomy powered by AI and knowledge graphs, enabling organizations to connect data, decisions, and execution across operations. Its Autonomy Platform brings decision intelligence and execution to the world’s most critical industries, empowering safer, more resilient, and more efficient operations.

Street Showdown. Seven Title-Contending Lineups Converge on Beijing for GT World Challenge Asia Season Finale


BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 October 2025 – This weekend, the 2025 Fanatec GT World Challenge Asia powered by AWS heads to Beijing for its season-ending showdown, where seven driver lineups will battle on the Chinese capital’s streets for the overall drivers’ championship—a record-equalling number of title contenders in series history!

Caption: The 2025 GT World Challenge Beijing E-Town Round will take place from October 17 to 19, 2025, in the Tongming Lake area of Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (E-Town)。

Following 12 thrilling races across Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Japan, the championship finale will feature two 60-minute races. Notably, this Beijing round marks the first time GT World Challenge Asia has held a street race, with a purpose-built circuit designed exclusively for this event.

The Beijing street circuit, designed by Apex Circuit Design Ltd, spans 4.9 kilometers and features 12 corners. Located in the scenic Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (BDA), the track winds through modern architecture and alongside Tongming Lake Park, utilizing public roads and urban expressways temporarily converted for racing.

A total of 24 cars will take to the grid, with 25 drivers from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan competing on home soil. Among them, eight Chinese drivers remain in contention for the overall championship.

Defending GT World Challenge Asia champions Yuan Bo and Ye Hongli enter the finale as clear favorites, holding a 14-point lead over their Origine Motorsport teammate Lü Wei. Prince Jefri Ibrahim of JMR sits just one point further back, 15 points off the lead.

Other title contenders include 2023 series champion Liu Xu and his Phantom Global Racing teammate Dorian Boccolacci; Cheng Congfu and Yu Kuai of FAW Audi Sport Asia Team Phantom, who lead the Silver Cup standings; Ruan Cunfan and Maxime Oosten of KRC, who are on the verge of clinching the Silver-Am title; and Cao Qi from Craft-Bamboo Racing—all of whom retain mathematical chances of claiming the overall crown.

However, Yuan and Ye will start Saturday’s opening race from 10 grid positions further back due to a penalty—a significant variable that could inject major uncertainty into the first race and open the door for their rivals.

Adding star power to the home lineup is Ye Yifei, Ferrari driver and winner of the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans, who returns to Harmony Racing for this event. He joins fellow local talents Deng Yi (Winhere Harmony Racing), Liang Jiatong (Craft-Bamboo Racing), and Uno Racing’s Rio and Tang Weifeng—all still in mathematical contention for the Silver Cup.

In the Silver-Am class, Japan’s Yu Kanamaru (5ZIGEN) remains the only driver capable of challenging Ruan and Oosten’s dominance, though he trails by 36 points. With a maximum of 50 points available across the weekend’s two races, an upset remains theoretically possible but highly improbable.

In the Am class, Indonesian driver David Tjiptobiantoro and his teammate Christian Colombo have already secured a commanding lead. Their only remaining challengers—Ben Porter (AMAC Motorsport) and Setiawan Santoso (Earl Bamber Motorsport, or EBM)—must overcome deficits of 38 and 40 points respectively, and would also need Garage 75’s Ferrari entry to suffer a major setback during the weekend.

It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time an SRO-sanctioned championship has visited a Chinese street circuit. Between 1994 and 1995, the BPR Global GT Series used temporary public roads in Zhuhai before moving to the newly built Zhuhai International Circuit. In 2011, the FIA GT1 World Championship also held a demonstration event outside Beijing’s iconic “Bird’s Nest” National Stadium.

GT World Challenge Asia has previously visited permanent circuits in China, including Shanghai International Circuit, Ningbo International Circuit, and Zhejiang International Circuit. This weekend’s Beijing event will run alongside the SRO GT Cup—a new domestic series for Chinese GT4 teams—which will stage its penultimate round concurrently.

All sessions, including qualifying and both 60-minute races, will be streamed live globally via SRO’s official “GT World” YouTube channel. Additionally, China Central Television (CCTV) will broadcast Sunday’s second race live nationwide.

Some 400 guests from nearly 60 countries will bring with them fresh research findings on various civilizations and innovative models for preserving diverse cultures, making the forum a profound dialogue on cultural exchange — one that transcends time and celebrates the beauty of shared humanity.

Liangzhu, literally meaning “a beautiful islet amid waters,” lies in the river-interlaced plains of Yuhang District, Hangzhou. The Liangzhu Site stand as a testament to China’s magnificent prehistoric rice-farming civilization over 5,000 years ago.

In 2019, the site earned a well-deserved spot on the World Heritage List. The inaugural Liangzhu Forum, held in 2023, emerged as a high-caliber national event that embodied a global vision, Chinese grandeur, Zhejiang charm, and a focus on exploring civilizations.

Today, Liangzhu’s international network spans 123 countries and regions worldwide, and the forum has evolved into a pivotal platform for advancing global cultural dialogue, facilitating exchanges under the Belt and Road Initiative, and showcasing the richness of Chinese civilization.

This grand cultural gathering, co-hosted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the National Cultural Heritage Administration, and the People’s Government of Zhejiang Province, with support from UNESCO and the World Tourism Organization, is packed with compelling highlights.

The forum’s theme this year — “Revitalization of Civilization: Cultural Heritage and Human Culture Diversity” — has maintained a consistent thread with the previous editions, all advancing a common goal: fostering exchange and mutual learning, moving in step with the times, and illuminating the path ahead.

Human cultural diversity is what makes the world so rich and vibrant, as it allows the world to connect, live in harmony, learn from each other’s strengths, and drive innovation through cultural integration. The focus on discovering the beauty of diversity through dialogue and exploring innovation rooted in heritage is fully reflected in the forum’s sub-forums.

Curious about ancient civilizations? The sub-forum “Cultural Roots: Timeless Wisdom and Contemporary Value of Ancient Civilizations” will draw comparisons between civilizations such as those along the Yellow River and Yangtze River, the Mediterranean, and the Maya.

For those interested in heritage protection practices, the sub-forum “Innovation in Practice: Urban Archaeology, Heritage Site Conservation and Coordinated Urban-Rural Development” will showcase new archaeological discoveries from Liangzhu and Maya settlements.

At “Sustained Legacy: Expansion of Museum Functions and Utilization of Cultural Relics,” the Silk Road International Museum Alliance will welcome new members from Qatar and Tunisia, and release a declaration of the Silk Road International Museum Alliance.

Marking the 40th anniversary of China’s accession to the World Heritage Convention, the sub-forum “Future Vision: World Cultural Heritage and A New Model for Human Advancement” will share insights and practices in world cultural heritage protection and management, alongside an exhibition reviewing China’s innovative efforts over the past four decades.

In Liangzhu, a millennium-old Chinese heritage site converges with the world’s colorful cultures, and tradition is revitalized through advanced technology. The Liangzhu Forum is more than an innovative showcase of the world’s rich and diverse cultures — it is a bridge for deepened mutual learning between civilizations. The 3rd Liangzhu Forum is sure to leave a warm, inspiring cultural mark on the journey toward building a community with a shared future for humanity.Hashtag: #TheOrganizingCommitteeoftheLiangzhuForum
