SpookySwap and THENA Each Launch Perpetual Trading via Orbs' Perpetual Hub Ultra
Orbs' latest flagship protocol, Perpetual Hub Ultra, enables DEXs on any EVM chain to complement their spot markets with the addition of perpetual trading. Ultra's plug-and-play design brings deep liquidity to DEXs, enabling users to access leverage within a familiar trading environment.
Both SpookySwap and THENA, have a track record of integrating Orbs protocols, previously integrating dLIMIT and dTWAP to expand their spot trading offerings. Now, with the rollout of Perpetual Hub Ultra, they are further evolving their platforms by introducing on-chain perpetual trading across more than 300 trading pairs, powered by Orbs' Layer-3 technology.
Sonic users can now trade intent-based perpetual on SpookySwap, with Orbs' composable tech stack seamlessly orchestrating the entire process. Orders are filled by the Hedger, which draws liquidity from external sources, including centralized exchanges such as Binance. Positions are managed by the Liquidator, tasked with checking collateral and margin thresholds. Perpetual Hub Ultra is completed by the Price Oracle, which provides accurate unrealized profit and loss (PnL) data for efficient position management.
BNB Chain users can also access perpetual trading on THENA, whose integration of Perpetual Hub Ultra is now live. All 300+ pairs that Orbs facilitates are available, enabling traders to enter leveraged positions for popular tokens, such as $PUMP, that aren't natively supported on BNB. Symm.io's smart contract infrastructure is combined with Orbs' infrastructure to provide a decentralized and highly liquid trading experience.
Orbs CBO Ran Hammer said: 'We're delighted to see SpookySwap and THENA move quickly to integrate Perpetual Hub Ultra with full support from Orbs. These integrations bring a powerful onchain primitive to the Sonic and BNB Chain ecosystems that allow DEX users to access perpetual markets with deep liquidity and support for hundreds of assets. As Perpetual Hub Ultra is rolled out across more EVM chains, it will provide access to perpetual trading that is decentralized, secure, and fully customizable to suit the needs of leading DEXs.'
Perpetual Hub Ultra has the potential to boost trading volume for DEXs that integrate the protocol, helping exchanges attract new users and grow revenue without the need to bootstrap on-platform liquidity, thanks to its intent-based architecture.
Orbs is a decentralized Layer-3 (L3) blockchain designed specifically for advanced onchain trading. Utilizing a Proof-of-Stake consensus, Orbs acts as a supplementary execution layer, facilitating complex logic and scripts beyond the native functionalities of smart contracts. Orbs powered protocols such as dLIMIT, dTWAP, Liquidity Hub, and Perpetual Hub push the boundaries of DeFi and smart contract technology, introducing CeFi-level execution to onchain trading.

I test headphones for a living — these are the headphones you should buy for office use
If there's one thing I've heard or seen the most when it comes to headphones that people want to buy, it's from people grumpy that their headphones lack certain features that are important for office use. While ANC, comfort and sound quality are important to everyone, there are a couple of things that are useful when you use your headphones with a work computer. Perhaps the Bluetooth connection on your work computer is locked down, and you need something you can plug into the 3.5mm connector on the tower. Maybe there's no way to charge your headphones, and you need something that can work without battery power when you're at work. That's where the Bose QuietComfort Headphones come in, with their standout feature — a passive wired mode. Thanks to the cable that comes in the case, you can use them with your work computer, whether you've got battery power or not. Bose's less expensive pair of headphones might not have the premium luster of their Ultra cousins, but they've got that all-important passive mode for when the battery dies. The sound is good and the ANC is excellent as well — the perfect office package. I was chatting to a computer-bound office-working friend the other day. They have locked down machines at work, so they can't connect their Bluetooth headphones for work calls, and neither can they listen to music on their phone, because phone use is prohibited. They're allowed to use Spotify through the browser, however. So they asked me, "what headphones should I buy that I can use at work? I don't want any of those cheap little earbuds, and I'd like to be able to use them if the battery dies." I didn't need to think for very long at all before the QuietComfort Headphones came to mind. I imagine that there are many other people in a similar situation to my locked-down office friend as well — so here's why you should buy Bose's mid-range headphones. Beyond their passive noise and wired connection, there are plenty of other reasons to pick up a pair of Bose QuietComfort Headphones. There's the excellent ANC, which keeps out the noise of your busy office like little else. They might not have the same ANC as their more expensive co-star, the QuietComfort Ultra, but they block out loads of noise regardless. They'll keep that humming AC machine out of ear's reach, and the chattering gossipers next to the watercooler are completely gone. Activate transparency mode for when you need to talk to a colleague, and then turn the ANC back on when you're done. Need to be available at all times? Just use the passive mode, and you won't need to worry that you're going to miss anything — or the battery dying. Their call quality is amongst the best as well, so you'll be more than fine for all those big work calls you need to make with important people. The mic quality is good in both wired and wireless mode, so no need to worry if you can only use one. They're comfortable, too, so you can wear them for a longer workday. I've found them super comfortable for long periods, especially while I was stacking them up against the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. Their case is small, so space in your bag/briefcase/plastic bag isn't an issue when you're packing for work. They fold nice and small, and the case is one of the most compact around. It's boring to look at, no matter which color headphones you choose, which is a shame, but it's protective all the same. There is one thing that you need to remember going into ownership of the QuietComfort Headphones — their fairly lackluster battery life. The ANC can't be turned completely off, only switched to transparency mode. That means you only get 24 hours of charge out of the headphones, which isn't fantastic. The wired passive mode does make up for this issue, but it's still worth bearing in mind that you'll have to charge them more often than other options.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra tipped for this long-overdue charging upgrade — what we know
News about the Samsung Galaxy S26 is starting to pick up steam now that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 have gone on sale. We've already heard rumors that the upcoming phone could also, finally, push charging speeds past 45W — and leaked code from One UI 8.5 seemingly confirms this. The code was spotted by X user @erenylmaz075, who shared a screenshot of what's allegedly code from a leaked version of One UI 8.5. Presumably such fast speeds will be exclusive to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, rather than the Galaxy S26 and S26 Edge. This isn't the first time we've heard this rumor either. Ice Universe first reported that the S26 Ultra would exceed 45W wired charging, later adding that the figure seems to have risen to 60W. This upgrade is certainly long overdue. The Ultra models have been limited to 45W for years, while plenty of rival phones race towards triple-digit charging speeds. Plus, with a new upper limit, it means Samsung could offer faster charging on the standard Galaxy S26 without stealing the Ultra's thunder. As much as we complain about 45W charging overstaying its welcome, the 25W charging limit has been around for a lot longer — and it's about time that changed. @erenylmaz075 also claims that Samsung will be renaming the Galaxy S26 as the "Galaxy S26 Pro." This information comes from the GSMA registration database, with the model number SM-S942U1 seemingly changing its name from Galaxy S26 to Galaxy S26 Pro It's speculated that this is to try and attract new users by tweaking the name. Which isn't a particularly logical strategy, considering you need a base level S26 for anything to be considered "Pro," but it wouldn't be the first time a phone company has released a Pro phone without anything cheaper. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Yes, I'm talking about you, the OnePlus 10 Pro. And the fact that OnePlus abandoned this strategy with future releases, starting with the OnePlus 11, suggests the company realized that decision wasn't particularly smart. Then again Apple is rumored to be releasing the iPhone 18 six months after the iPhone 18 Pro. So it's not outside the possibility that Samsung might forgo the "regular" Galaxy S26 as well.

This long-requested Galaxy upgrade might finally arrive on the S26 Ultra
C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A new firmware leak suggests the Galaxy S26 Ultra will support 60W wired charging. That's a major jump from the 45W limit on previous Ultra models, though still slower than some rivals. The phone is expected to keep its 5,000mAh battery and use the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. Samsung might not be boosting battery capacity on its next high-end flagship, but it looks like faster charging is finally on the cards for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Tipter Erencan Yılmaz on X (via SamMobile) spotted a reference to the device's charging speed in a new One UI 8.5 firmware leak. The two strings of code, as shown below, strongly suggest support for 60W wired charging — a notable upgrade from the 45W cap on previous Ultra models. This lines up with a previous claim from Ice Universe that Samsung would increase charging speeds on the S26 Ultra to 60W. Others, like Yogesh Brar and Chunvn8888, had speculated it could go as high as 65W, though today's firmware suggests the more conservative figure is correct. While 60W still trails the 80W or even 120W charging offered by some rivals, it would represent Samsung's most significant charging speed bump in years, and could help bring full charge times down from just under an hour to something closer to 40 minutes. The phone is still expected to use a 5,000mAh battery. As for the rest of the S26 Ultra, we've already seen signs that it will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset and could be part of a renamed lineup alongside a Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Edge. But faster charging may become one of the most noticeable upgrades for many users, especially those tired of seeing cheaper phones charge twice as fast. Follow
