Culver City, United States, July 16th, 2025, Chainwire Snail, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAL) ('Snail Games' or the 'Company'), a leading global independent developer and publisher of interactive digital entertainment, announced its intention to explore pursuing a strategic digital asset initiative that includes the evaluation and feasibility for introduction of its own proprietary stablecoin. This initiative would be subject to a range of factors, including but not limited to, regulatory approvals, market conditions, technical feasibility, cybersecurity safeguards, financial controls, and internal governance. The Company believes that exploring stablecoin infrastructure may position it as an early mover within the digital entertainment industry. While no decisions have been made to integrate such technology into the Company's corporate strategy, it continues to evaluate and explore opportunities as part of its broader innovation roadmap. Recognizing the growing potential of crypto-based transactions in the digital entertainment and gaming industry, the Company is currently assessing the feasibility of developing and exploring its stablecoin with multiple external use cases, with no current timeline or commitment. To support this initiative, Snail Games has retained Dr. George Cao, an external consultant. Dr. Cao earned his PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of Chicago and is the Founder and the Chief Executive Officer of AscendEX, a full-stack cryptocurrency financial platform that offers simple solutions for investing, trading, and earning to global users. In addition, the Company also retained seasoned legal advisors, including a nationally recognized law firm ranked by Chambers FinTech Legal USA as a leading firm serving cryptocurrency and blockchain clients.

We are evaluating potential future phase hiring needs for professionals with specialized experience in blockchain, stablecoins, and digital asset strategy. While our focus continues to remain on gaming across our ARK franchise, indie titles, and other up-and-coming genres, this investigation into the crypto space and evaluation of the feasibility of launching our own stablecoin would mark a key step in advancing our vision of driving innovation across digital entertainment.

Giant Pinecone Grow a Garden Update: Second-most expensive seed unlocked — How to get and grow it
What Is the Giant Pinecone? A Prismatic-tier seed boasting long-lasting harvests (up to five fruits per plant) Physical appearance includes a twisted pinecone-shaped design and a tall trunk with blocky and fern-like foliage overlays Though rare and expensive, its fruit fetches around 65,000 Sheckles each on average, accumulating to over 325,000 Sheckles per full harvest (without mutations) Price Tag & Availability Listed in the Seed Shop for 55 million Sheckles or purchased instantly for 929 Robux. Packaged with a mere 0.03% chance of being in stock during the shop's ~5-minute inventory refresh cycles. Despite being high-cost, it's a standout item for serious collectors and game strategists. How to Get It Check the shop frequently or rely on Discord stock alerts. When spotted, you can pay via Sheckles (time-consuming grind) or secure instantly with Robux. Golden Lab has a chance to dig up random seeds every 60 seconds — with multiple Labs boosting odds modestly. Red Fox and Raccoon pets can 'steal' seeds or duplicate fruit from other players' gardens, so server selection matters. Live Events Once the plant is in your garden, harvesting may yield additional seeds if paired with a Snail pet. Profit Potential & Strategic Tips Base fruit sell value (~65,000 Sheckles) multiplies greatly if allowed to produce huge versions via gearing and mutations. Real upside occurs when Mutations and Sprinklers enhance size and value beyond normal thresholds.

Woman ‘holds death in her hand,' lives to tell about it
A woman in Japan unknowingly put her life at risk when she bent over and picked up a shell while exploring tide pools. Beckylee Rawls, 29, who lives with her husband in Okinawa, collects shells, and on this day she was videotaping the various creatures in the pools for a TikTok video when she came across a 'beautiful shell.' 'Honestly, the only thing going through my head was, 'That's a pretty shell, let me take a closer look,'' Rawls told People. She held it for about 30 seconds before noticing something inside: a live cone snail. Taken aback, Rawls replaced the shell in the water. She posted a few TikTok videos showing her misstep. As she was leaving, Rawls did an online search for that shell. 'That's when I learned I might have just made the biggest mistake of my life,' she told People. The cone snail is among the most venomous creatures on Earth. The shell isn't dangerous, it's what's inside the shell. Cone snail venom can cause paralysis, respiratory failure and cardiovascular collapse. A sting can be fatal. Also on FTW Outdoors: 'Ghost elephant' seen for first time in years; is it a lone survivor? FOX8 reported that Rawls 'went to the beach and held death in her hand.' Fortunately, she wasn't stung, but the thought that she might have been stung persisted and 'terrified' her. 'My brain kept convincing me that I had been stung and just didn't realize it,' she told People. 'By the fourth day of panic, my husband was sick of reassuring me I was indeed going to live. There is no anti-venom—that's the craziest part. It's a hope-and-pray situation.' It should be noted that humans have survived stings from cone snails, but prompt medical care is crucial. "It's even nicknamed the 'Cigarette Snail' because, according to urban legend, if it stings you, you won't live long enough to finish a final cigarette," Rawls told People. "That chilling reputation really put things into perspective." Photo courtesy of Beckylee Rawls.
