Snowball Money has signed a strategic agreement with a multi-VM blockchain platform named Arichain. The joint venture was announced on October 22, 2025, that includes Snowball Modular Naming Service (MNS) and parallel virtual machine architecture the architecture created by Arichain. The partnership addresses the issue of fragmentation of identity in Web3 that allows users to have one portable identity on EVM, SVM, and beyond, which is a primary step towards real blockchain interoperability.

Breaking Down Virtual Machine Barriers

Arichain is differentiated from its Multi-VM Execution Layer, where more than one virtual machine can operate under a single governance. Arichain is now supporting Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), and will support MoveVM, zkVM, and TVM. The advantage of this is that developers can create modular decentralized applications (dApps) that minimize the number of execution environments. This approach does not compromise performance or security.

Snowball MNS enhances this architecture by providing a universal identity layer that encompasses over 70 blockchains. Instead of having to carry several addresses on the wallet, such as “0xA94b…” after creating basic, easy to remember identities, across various chains, users can utilize them across the multi-VM ecosystem at Arichain. This reduces the friction and error risk that has hindered cross-chain transactions.

The technological implementation utilizes Arichain’s X-BFT consensus method, which ensures uniform security while allowing individual VMs to retain their respective runningtime logic. This means that EVM developers can potentially communicate with SVM applications and users can maintain a single, moveable identity with Snowball MNS and the Global Account Identity (GAID) system by Arichain.

Cross-Chain Identity and Portable Reputation

The reputation of this alliance is based on the reputation. Snowball’s technology utilizes Onchain Reputation Score (ORS) that uses AI to evaluate wallet and social network behavior. The cooperation facilitates the transfer of reputation layer throughout all the virtual machines and chains that Arichain is compatible with, resulting in a universal rating of Web3.
For applications ranging from decentralized finance to gaming and governance, having a reliable reputation system that tracks users across chains could greatly reduce fraud, Sybil attacks, and other security risks. A DeFi protocol on EVM could gain access to reputation data from a user’s SVM activity, creating unprecedented transparency and trust across the fragmented blockchain ecosystem.

This alliance is a crucial step for blockchain infrastructure development. Arichain established significant alliances in 2025, particularly with Ekox for relocating infrastructure and B2 Network for Bitcoin DeFi integration. The Snowball integration is the identity layer of these alliances, which creates a unique environment where identity, reputation, and cross-chain capability intersect.

Future Strategic Implications of Web3

It is an alliance where the demand for modular blockchain solutions is increasing. With the current modular design being pushed into the limits by projects like Celestia and EigenLayer, identification systems linking modular components are becoming more significant. The three major industries that are connected by Snowball and Arichain include modularity, multi-chain interoperability, and decentralized identification.

This consensus indicates the possibility of developers being allowed to create cross-chain applications. It provides users with a Web3 experience that does not feel like going through the incompatible protocols but rather communicates with a single digital network.

Technological implementation and user adoption will lead to success, yet the strategic alignment shows that both partners are eager to find a solution to the issue of identity fragmentation with blockchain.

Conclusion

The Snowball Money and Arichain partnership shows that the blockchain industry is evolving and reveals the significance of specialized and interoperable parts. This collaboration presents new standards of decentralized identities by removing identity fragmentation on the chain and the level of the virtual machine. Such alliances will also be essential as the Web3 is more integrated to make the experience scalable and user-friendly the industry needs.

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Google's AP2 protocol has been released. Does encrypted AI still have a chance?

Following the MCP and A2A protocols, the AI Agent market has seen another blockbuster arrival: the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), developed by Google. This will clearly further enhance AI Agents' autonomous multi-tasking capabilities, but the unfortunate reality is that it has little to do with web3AI. Let's take a closer look: What problem does AP2 solve? Simply put, the MCP protocol is like a universal hook, enabling AI agents to connect to various external tools and data sources; A2A is a team collaboration communication protocol that allows multiple AI agents to cooperate with each other to complete complex tasks; AP2 completes the last piece of the puzzle - payment capability. In other words, MCP opens up connectivity, A2A promotes collaboration efficiency, and AP2 achieves value exchange. The arrival of AP2 truly injects "soul" into the autonomous collaboration and task execution of Multi-Agents. Imagine AI Agents connecting Qunar, Meituan, and Didi to complete the booking of flights, hotels, and car rentals, but then getting stuck at the point of "self-payment." What's the point of all that multitasking? So, remember this: AP2 is an extension of MCP+A2A, solving the last mile problem of AI Agent automated execution. What are the technical highlights of AP2? The core innovation of AP2 is the Mandates mechanism, which is divided into real-time authorization mode and delegated authorization mode. Real-time authorization is easy to understand. The AI Agent finds the product and shows it to you. The operation can only be performed after the user signs. Delegated authorization requires the user to set rules in advance, such as only buying the iPhone 17 when the price drops to 5,000. The AI Agent monitors the trigger conditions and executes automatically. The implementation logic is cryptographically signed using Verifiable Credentials (VCs). Users can set complex commission conditions, including price ranges, time limits, and payment method priorities, forming a tamper-proof digital contract. Once signed, the AI Agent executes according to the conditions, with VCs ensuring auditability and security at every step. Of particular note is the "A2A x402" extension, a technical component developed by Google specifically for crypto payments, developed in collaboration with Coinbase and the Ethereum Foundation. This extension enables AI Agents to seamlessly process stablecoins, ETH, and other blockchain assets, supporting native payment scenarios within the Web3 ecosystem. What kind of imagination space can AP2 bring? After analyzing the technical principles, do you think that's it? Yes, in fact, the AP2 is boring when it is disassembled alone. Its real charm lies in connecting and opening up the "MCP+A2A+AP2" technology stack, completely opening up the complete link of AI Agent's autonomous analysis+execution+payment. From now on, AI Agents can open up many application scenarios. For example, AI Agents for stock investment and financial management can help us monitor the market 24/7 and conduct independent transactions. Enterprise procurement AI Agents can automatically replenish and renew without human intervention. AP2's complementary payment capabilities will further expand the penetration of the Agent-to-Agent economy into more scenarios. Google obviously understands that after the technical framework is established, the ecological implementation must be relied upon, so it has brought in more than 60 partners to develop it, almost covering the entire payment and business ecosystem. Interestingly, it also involves major Crypto players such as Ethereum, Coinbase, MetaMask, and Sui. Combined with the current trend of currency and stock integration, the imagination space has been doubled. Is web3 AI really dead? Not entirely. Google's AP2 looks complete, but it only achieves technical compatibility with Crypto payments. It can only be regarded as an extension of the traditional authorization framework and belongs to the category of automated execution. There is a "paradigm" difference between it and the autonomous asset management pursued by pure Crypto native solutions. The Crypto-native solutions under exploration are taking the "decentralized custody + on-chain verification" route, including AI Agent autonomous asset management, AI Agent autonomous transactions (DeFAI), AI Agent digital identity and on-chain reputation system (ERC-8004...), AI Agent on-chain governance DAO framework, AI Agent NPC and digital avatars, and many other interesting and fun directions. Ultimately, once users get used to AI Agent payments in traditional fields, their acceptance of AI Agents autonomously owning digital assets will also increase. And for those scenarios that AP2 cannot reach, such as anonymous transactions, censorship-resistant payments, and decentralized asset management, there will always be a time for crypto-native solutions to show their strength? The two are more likely to be complementary rather than competitive, but to be honest, the key technological advancements behind AI Agents currently all come from web2AI, and web3AI still needs to keep up the good work!
