Lightchain AI Launches Final Bonus Round After Completing 15 Presale Stages and Raising $20.9M
The Bonus Round offers tokens at a fixed price of $0.007125, presenting a final opportunity for early participants to acquire LCAI before the transition to public trading. This phase also coincides with new ecosystem developments, including a grant initiative and upcoming developer onboarding tools.
Presale Completion Signals Market Momentum
Lightchain AI 's presale, which was structured across 15 progressive funding stages, reached its hard cap target with broad support from retail and strategic contributors. The structured approach ensured measured token distribution and early ecosystem growth while minimizing volatility.
The platform's architecture is designed to power decentralized artificial intelligence through the Artificial Intelligence Virtual Machine (AIVM) and a proprietary Proof-of-Intelligence (PoI) consensus model. This model rewards validator nodes for completing valuable AI computations, creating a sustainable framework for network participation and data processing.
Ecosystem Tools and Grants Rolling Out
Following the presale, Lightchain AI is expanding its Developer Portal, which provides SDKs, APIs, and comprehensive technical documentation to enable builders to launch and scale AI-powered decentralized applications. In parallel, a $150,000 grant pool has been allocated to fund early-stage projects contributing to the Lightchain ecosystem.
In a move to further promote decentralization and developer alignment, the originally designated 5% Team Allocation has been reallocated toward ecosystem growth, community incentives, and validator support. Public GitHub repositories are scheduled to go live alongside the mainnet launch to promote transparent and collaborative development.
Bonus Round to Close Ahead of Mainnet
With the Bonus Round now live, Lightchain AI is finalizing preparations for mainnet deployment. The round will remain open for a limited time, offering fixed pricing and early access benefits for participants, including governance opportunities, developer incentives, and validator onboarding.
'Completing 15 stages and entering the Bonus Round represents a major leap forward for Lightchain AI,' said a project spokesperson. 'We are focused on delivering a scalable and intelligent blockchain infrastructure, and this final phase allows the community to grow with us as we approach launch.'

Cracking the Ceiling
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur United Kingdom, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. For decades, gender parity in the workplace has been the subject of discussion, debate, and data. But despite years of targeted initiatives, executive pledges, and shifting public discourse, women remain underrepresented in senior roles across most industries - particularly in science and technology. One executive who has seen both the limitations and the potential of change from inside the C-suite is Tara McGeehan, President of CGI UK and Australia, a London based global IT and business consulting services firm. "Throughout my career, I have learnt that as women, we often subconsciously put limitations on ourselves for a variety of reasons," she says. "I have also learnt that sometimes limitations are put upon us outside of our comprehension or ability to control." These barriers - both internal and systemic - remain a defining feature of the female professional experience. Yet McGeehan argues that meaningful progress begins with the choices made at the very outset of a woman's career, specifically, where and with whom she chooses to work. "For women looking to start a career, it is important to work for a company that emulates and reflects your values," she advises. "Does it already employ role models you can look up to and learn from? Will it inspire you? Can you see yourself thriving and developing in your career there?" McGeehan advocates for a level of scrutiny on employers that is often reserved for applicants. In an increasingly talent-led labour market, she believes candidates should feel empowered to ask hard questions. "Ask yourself these questions or better still, ask them at the interview stage and see if it's the right fit for you. You want to work in a comfortable, supportive, and inclusive environment that supports you in your growth and success." The ability to thrive in such an environment, she notes, is also tied to confidence and communication. Speaking up, particularly early in one's career, can be a challenge. But for McGeehan, it is essential. "Once you have secured your first role, I'd encourage you to share your thoughts and ideas. Diverse talent creates diverse ideas. This, in turn, pushes boundaries and innovation." Innovation, she suggests, is not the product of a singular vision, but of collective input from across levels and backgrounds. "It's important to have strong female voices across the whole business, be it those in leadership positions or those in their first professional role." Despite improvements in representation, McGeehan remains clear-eyed about the distance still to go. "There's still a long way to go in tackling the glass ceiling, and so none of us, regardless of our role, can afford to let up in our efforts to make our industry as diverse, equitable, and inclusive as it absolutely must be." That sense of shared responsibility - at all levels - is a consistent theme in her commentary. While individual advancement is important, collective advocacy remains central to progress. So too does ambition, often viewed with discomfort or suspicion when expressed by women in the workplace. McGeehan is unequivocal: such ambition is not only acceptable, it is necessary. "My final piece of advice is that it's okay to aspire to a successful career as a woman," she says. "If you have the ambition and the drive, and are working with a company that embraces this, there's no reason why you shouldn't achieve it." Her words suggest a quiet but resolute optimism: that change is possible, but not inevitable. It must be built - consciously, collaboratively, and continuously.

Wimbledon's robot line judges caught napping on Centre Court
Following in the footsteps of the U.S. Open and the Australian Open, Wimbledon finally did away with human line judges in favor of Hawk-Eye technology at this year's Championships. All 18 courts have incorporated the system, which uses multiple high‑speed cameras and real‑time computer vision algorithms, with loudspeakers emitting an audible 'out' to confirm a missed shot. Recommended Videos A week into this year's competition, the technology appeared to be working well. But then, during a high-profile match on Centre Court on Sunday involving Brit Sonay Kartal and Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the system seemed to go a bit quiet, with the umpire having to confirm a couple of widely missed shots as out. But then, a short while later, on a game point for Pavlyuchenkova toward the end of the first set, Hawk-Eye failed to call a ball hit by Kartal that landed a foot past the baseline, with Pavlyuchenkova half-heartedly keeping it in play. Despite having clearly won the point — and therefore the game — Pavlyuchenkova was told to replay it. She lost the point and went on to lose the game. It was a confusing mess, with Pavlyuchenkova complaining during the changeover that 'they stole the game from me.' Fortunately for the Russian, she managed to retain a cool head and went on to win the match. But it could have turned out very differently. The All England Club, which runs Wimbledon, said at first that the system was 'deactivated on the point in question' because of 'operator error,' according to a BBC report. A spokesperson said later on Sunday that, after further investigation, it was found the technology was 'deactivated in error on part of the server's side of the court for one game.' The spokesperson added: 'We have apologized to the players involved. We continue to have full confidence in the accuracy of the ball-tracking technology. In this instance, there was a human error and as a consequence we have fully reviewed our processes and made the appropriate changes.' Having overruled some earlier calls, it's not clear why the umpire failed to do the same for this shot, which was clearly out. The rulebook states that the umpire has the power to make a call if Hawk-Eye fails to do so. 'He also saw it out, he told me after the match,' Pavlyuchenkova said in a post-match press conference. 'I thought he would do that, but he didn't. Instead they just said replay. I don't know if it's something to do [with Kartal being] local. I think it's also difficult for him. He probably was scared to take such a big decision.' Sunday's Hawk-Eye hiccup demonstrates that even automated line-calling systems are not infallible, a reality that, going forward, will put even greater pressure on the only human left officiating the match — the umpire. It'll be interesting to see how Pavlyuchenkova's experience affects next week's Wimbledon matches, with players perhaps more likely to look the umpire's way if they're expecting a shout from Hawk-Eye that doesn't come.
