Availability marks an important milestone ahead of the planned launch of MindChain and NILA's migration to its native Layer 2 network
MATAWAN, New Jersey / GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- MindWave Innovations Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. (NYSE American: APUS) (“MindWave Innovations Inc.” or the “Company”), today announced that its NILA token is now available to eligible users in the United States on Webot, a licensed U.S. cryptocurrency exchange. Starting today, eligible U.S. users may access NILA on a licensed American platform for the first time.
For anyone new to NILA, this makes it simpler to get started. Eligible users may access the token through a U.S. exchange that operates under applicable licenses, ahead of NILA moving to its own network, MindChain, which is expected to launch in October 2026.
How to access NILA on Webot
Starting today, eligible U.S. users may access NILA on Webot (www.webot.com), a cryptocurrency exchange licensed to operate in the United States. Webot, formerly Pionex US, is registered as a Money Services Business with FinCEN and holds Money Transmitter Licenses in 48 U.S. states (NMLS #2284360). It is built for everyday users, with automated trading tools, low fees, and a starting amount as small as $2.
For people who hold NILA, access runs through a U.S. platform that operates under applicable licenses, with no need for an offshore account. Availability in the United States also gives NILA a home in the months before MindChain launches.
“Making NILA available to eligible users on a licensed U.S. exchange is a big moment for our community. For the first time, eligible U.S. users can access NILA through a licensed platform, and they can start today. This is the first step toward everything that comes next: launching MindChain, giving NILA its own network, and letting the token live on its own chain. Together with the October launch, this is the biggest step forward in MindWave’s history,” said Dr. Vin Menon, Chief Executive Officer of MindWave Innovations Inc.
What comes next: MindChain
Today’s listing is the first step in a bigger plan. MindChain, which the company describes as among the world’s first fully insured blockchains, is expected to launch in October 2026, subject to completion of legal, regulatory, technical, and compliance requirements. It is an insured Layer 2 network, meaning a fast network built on top of Ethereum, and it records every transaction on Ethereum for security. Once MindChain is live, NILA moves to its own network, where it is used to pay fees, for staking, and to help keep the chain secure, rather than operating on another blockchain.
Accessing NILA on Webot today gives qualified U.S. users a way to hold the token before that move.
Launch timeline
- August 3, 2026: NILA available to eligible participants on Webot (licensed in 48 states, NMLS #2284360)
- August to September: Test network opens for the community and developers to try things out, while an outside security firm reviews the code
- October 2026: MindChain expected to go live, the Migration Portal opens, and tools to track and move tokens become available, subject to completion of legal, regulatory, technical, and compliance requirements
