No product news in last 24h on ASI:Chain, Hyperon, or OmegaClaw.

Community event (not a product release): the SingularityNET Announcements channel posted a Community AMA: Getting Ready for HyperSprint #1 notice on Aug 25 at 18:39 UTC — a Q&A covering tracks, deliverables, team formation, judging and rewards for HyperSprint #1, the community build cycle around the OmegaClaw ecosystem. Registration: bgicommons.org/hackathons/hypersprint-1-omegaclaw.

Just outside the window: OmegaClaw-Core v0.1.19 pre-release was published Aug 24 at 16:55 UTC, one day before this window opened, and is therefore not counted as news for this issue.
