Chinese search giant Baidu has launched a blockchain platform aimed to simplify commercial deployment of decentralized apps, or dapps.
Officially announced by Baidu Cloud on Thursday, the Baidu Blockchain Engine (BBE) platform is touted as a kind of operating system allowing developers to produce blockchain applications "just like mobile apps," and get around the storage and computing "bottlenecks" that are holding up blockchain's potential.

BBE is built on what the company calls the ABC (AI, Big Data, cloud computing) technology stack, allowing customers to explore and develop ways to commercialize blockchain tech.
Hosted on Baidu's "intelligent" cloud platform, the system uses a modular blockchain framework to provide developers with a multi-chain system including smart contract templates, dapp templates and other services aimed to make development simple and fast.
The platform also supports deployment in the customer's existing enterprise frameworks, and can be set up as a"highly available and flexible" blockchain blockchain-as-a-service platform. It offers support for various blockchain scenarios including consortium and private chains, the post says.
On the technical side, BBE offers six primary features, the post says, from a trusted computing environment, high performance and high throughput and scalable storage, to cross-chain interactions, "intelligent" smart contracts and smart contract security auditing. It's also designed to provide security of data and privacy protection.
For consumer-focused finance, BBE supports features such as credit, metering and transactions. The system can also support the verification of 50 billion tokenized assets, Baidu claims.
The company has already been active on the blockchain front, releasing a white paper for its Xuperchain blockchain network last September. It's also launched a photo app and a space-focused game on the blockchain, and now stores revisions to its Chinese Wikipedia-like encyclopedia site on a blockchain too.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
知っておくべきこと:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

U.S. listed bitcoin, ether ETFs bleed nearly $1 billion in a day
U.S.-listed spot bitcoin and ether ETFs saw one of their worst combined outflow days of 2026 as falling prices, rising volatility and macro uncertainty pushed investors to cut exposure.
知っておくべきこと:
- U.S.-listed spot bitcoin and ether ETFs saw nearly $1 billion in outflows in a single session, as crypto prices tumbled and risk appetite faded.
- Bitcoin dropped below $85,000 and briefly neared $81,000, while ether fell more than 7%, prompting heavy redemptions from major ETFs run by BlackRock, Fidelity and Grayscale.
- Analysts say the synchronized ETF selling reflects institutions cutting overall crypto exposure amid rising volatility, hawkish Federal Reserve expectations and forced unwinding of leveraged positions, though some see the move as a leverage shakeout rather than the start of a bear market.
