Nectar AI offers a web- and mobile-based platform where users design fully customizable AI companions that respond with text, images, and generative video in either realistic or anime styles. The service emphasizes uncensored, immersive interactions and already supports advanced features such as photo-to-character conversion and short-form video generation. More than 500,000 users have created stories and characters on the platform since the project began in August 2023. Looking ahead, the team plans to launch an on-chain protocol later this year so users can port companions to blockchain, gain full IP ownership, and monetize their creations. Future product updates will add richer video and voice messaging. Founded in 2023 by Stanford graduates Keccak and Zi, the company is using its recent capital to expand engineering and protocol teams and to deepen partnerships. Nectar AI ultimately aims to become the leading decentralized platform for creating and trading AI assets.

Infrared is the first proof-of-liquidity (PoL) staking protocol on Berachain, offering liquid staking for the network’s native BGT and BERA tokens. Users who stake native tokens receive validator rewards plus iBERA, a liquid-staked token that can be deployed across other DeFi protocols to generate additional yield. The protocol aims to unlock productive capital within the wider Berachain ecosystem by maximizing efficiency and yield for stakers and builders. Infrared will be among the first projects to benefit from the Berachain Foundation’s incubator, Build a Bera. The article links the rollout to Berachain’s recent mainnet launch on Feb. 6 and the network’s proof-of-liquidity consensus that rewards liquidity provision. Financially, the company has completed multiple financing rounds bringing institutional backing from crypto-focused investors.
