February in Review: Cellframe Ecosystem Highlights

February 2026 was an eventful month for the Cellframe ecosystem projects. The teams continued developing infrastructure, launching new products, and preparing major updates.

Here’s a summary of the key February milestones for Node.sys, Dotflat, KelVPN, QEVM, and CPUNK.

Node.sys: Quantum-secure L1 infrastructure for decentralized production and automation with a native NYS token.

• New partners joined the DeFactory network in February:

— Grodno Building Materials Plant

— Kursk Electrical Apparatus Plant (KEAZ)

Together with the new partners, the Node.sys team continues expanding the production base in construction materials, electrical equipment, and industrial automation systems.

• Industry events: as part of DeFactory’s development, the Node.sys team participated in several industry exhibitions and conferences:

— Aquaflame 2026 (Feb 3–6): an international exhibition for engineering solutions in heating, water supply, sewage, and pools.

— “Building and Industrial Security” (Feb 18–20): a conference and exhibition focused on IoT access control systems, industrial safety, and enterprise information security.

Dotflat: a flatcoin with stable purchasing power.

• In February, the Dotflat project continued to show steady growth in the indicative value of its stablecoin, DFC. The current estimated price is $1.2370 USD, reflecting approximately 23% growth over the past year.

The indicative value of DFC is based on a collateral model that accounts for the value of underlying raw assets. This approach helps maintain more stable purchasing power and reduces the impact of short-term market fluctuations.

In times of global economic uncertainty, such asset-backed digital models are increasingly valued as a tool for preserving value.

• In January, the Dotflat team conducted an additional presale round of the governance token RLE on the PinkSale platform.

Both RLE and DFC tokens are available for purchase on Uniswap, with plans to open new orders on the updated Cellframe DEX in the near future.

KelVPN: a decentralized quantum-secured VPN service with its own KEL token.

In February, the KelVPN team focused on a major overhaul of the app architecture and prepared a large functional update aimed at improving service stability and enhancing user experience.

• During the month, a new Android version of the mobile app was released, and the iOS version is nearly ready for launch. At the same time, developers applied urgent fixes to the production app, improving stability and significantly reducing the risk of crashes.

• A key development direction was integrating KelVPN with crypto wallets. In the mobile app, Cellframe Wallet is used to create and fund wallets, while KelVPN has limited access to handle transactions required for network servers.

• Additionally, the core work on the collaborative mode was completed in February, laying the foundation for further expansion of the service’s functionality.

QEVM: a platform for deploying quantum-resistant, EVM-compatible smart contracts.

• In February, the QEVM team continued actively preparing for the launch of the public testnet. The main focus was on refining network logic and adapting the platform’s functionality to the latest updates from Cellframe. Developers synchronized QEVM’s core components with the current infrastructure changes to ensure smart contracts operate correctly and maintain stable interaction with the network’s foundational services.

A significant part of the work was dedicated to final testing of smart contracts and verifying their execution in the updated environment. The team conducted a series of internal checks to ensure that all interactions between the virtual machine, the network, and the contracts functioned as intended.

With most of the preparation now complete, the team is currently finalizing the integration of remaining system elements and preparing materials for the public testnet announcement.

CPUNK: a project with quantum-resistant security that enables safe and private user communication.

• The DNA Messenger is currently in the internal testing stage, but the server-side infrastructure of the project already demonstrates high stability. The system architecture, including its cryptography and network infrastructure, is designed for scalability, creating a solid foundation for the further development of the application.

At the moment, the team is focused on several key areas:

— Mobile interface development: improving usability and expanding the app’s functionality across different devices.

— Testing and debugging: identifying and fixing issues while optimizing the app for real user scenarios.

— Expanding the beta program: preparing for broader public testing to ensure a stable and secure release.

The team follows the principle of “stability first, release second”, aiming to deliver a fully functional and secure product ready for active use.

• In February, developers introduced several new features designed to improve user interaction:

— Home Feed: a personal activity feed where users can share text posts and images with their contacts, adding a new layer of social interaction within the app.

— Channels: community channels for group communication. This feature was introduced in response to user demand for an alternative platform for discussions outside of Telegram, particularly in regions where access to the messenger may be restricted.

Both features are currently undergoing testing and optimization to ensure they perform reliably as the number of users grows and the service scales.
