I think almost everyone knows what is happening in the Middle East right now — another spiral of global madness that affects us all.

When the shelling in Dubai began on Saturday, I was in a work meeting. One of my colleagues witnessed my calls and messages during that time — helping my older son relocate to a safer place, assisting contractors who, after working at one of my events, were unable to leave the UAE, reassuring my parents, and communicating with employees in group chats. The air defense systems were operating effectively, and I did everything I could to calm people down and give them guidance on how to act in the current situation.

He was surprised. “Why are you handling all of this yourself? You have so many assistants. You’re so busy — how do you even find the time? You personally help even people you barely know.”

His question caught me off guard.
I’ve been through many difficult moments in my life — moments of extreme uncertainty. And I know exactly what needs to be done in times like these: don’t panic. Stay calm. Keep a clear head. And most importantly — remain human.

Strength is responsibility. And it must be directed in the right way. When you have built a lot, don’t hesitate to share it — and support those who need it. That is the role of a leader.

Be real leaders in your families and in your communities. Help. Guide. Stand steady in difficult times.

And may you and your loved ones stay safe.

The Holiguard Universe

Few people stop to think that a truly successful business does not begin with a finished product.

It begins with three pillars: Vision, Mission, and Values.

Without this foundation, no business can stand the test of time.

Most companies present their audience with a ready-made product — polished, packaged, and ready for the market. The vision behind it often remains hidden — or sometimes simply isn’t there at all.

But behind every product destined for success, there is always a strong vision.

In our case, it is an entire universe — the universe of the Statiguards and the Holiguards.

Their struggle reflects a deeper idea: our fight for freedom, awareness, and conscious choice for everyone who becomes part of our universe.

That’s the real foundation.

Only after that does the work begin: technical specifications, audits, development, testing, and refinement.

All of it is carried out by dedicated professionals — a team that understands where we are going, why we are creating these products, and what they are meant to bring into people’s lives.

That is why we are not simply building products — we are building a vision.

And everyone who shares that vision with us helps move the world one step closer to a better future.

2026 Launches – What’s Next on the Roadmap

This year is shaping up to be something truly special. Across all our ecosystems, we’re stepping into a completely new and exciting chapter.

So far, one of the biggest highlights has been the premiere of The Portal of Force in Berlin as part of the Berlinale, along with its presentation in Dubai. But what stands behind it is far more than just a film premiere.

We are all eagerly waiting for what’s next. And now, as things finally start to unfold, each launch will reveal a little more, gradually showing the full scale, the uniqueness, and the complexity of what we’ve been building behind the scenes.

You’ll begin to understand why this process took time. Why things had to be refined, reworked, and rebuilt so many times. The truth is, we’ve been solving multiple tasks at once—taking on something no one has ever attempted before. And we’re handling it.

As you know, we’ll soon be sharing a solution for the existing Meta Whale programs. It’s important to preserve them and give them full support, even though they don’t directly fit into the new ecosystem, the passport system, or the new legal structure.

Nevertheless, we found a way to protect the existing programs while giving new projects room to grow without limitations.

For the new projects, we’re introducing a passport system that will form the foundation of a new ecosystem. I can’t reveal all the details just yet, but I’m especially excited about what we’ve prepared for our token. Strengthening the tokenomics isn’t just about launching long-awaited programs—there’s something more coming…

Here’s a look at what’s coming next:

• A new solution for the existing programs
• Passport system launch — the gateway to the new ecosystem
• Academy — more than just a knowledge hub. It’s an expanded educational experience with NFTs
• Holivita MVP — starting with a program that lets you earn, turning your data into a real asset
• Boost — a program already generating buzz among community leaders even before its launch
• Guru Fun — an unexpected and completely unique memepad platform designed to launch meme tokens, aiming to support genuinely useful ones and protect them from devaluation
• Streaming Platform MVP — launching with The Portal of Force, followed by a range of tools that will gradually form a completely new kind of ecosystem

What the streaming ecosystem will ultimately become is one of the secrets we’ll be revealing step by step.

I’m not sharing everything just yet, only what’s right around the corner. But all of this has been years in the making. It’s the invisible part of the work that’s been happening behind the scenes for so long.

And the anticipation is incredible.

Soon, our very first animated film will see the light of day. This spin-off of the Holiguard Universe will introduce you to the world of Lumara. Get ready for many surprises, including a glimpse into the mystery of Master Dao.

In everything we do, every detail matters. I dive into every process, every task, to get the best result.

🎬 Behind the scenes of The Portal of Force

I’m happy to announce that we’re continuing our Season of Launches — with today’s MVP of our new platform, V-Academy. This is one of the launches planned for the first half of 2026. The team is continuing to develop the platform, and the first update is expected in two weeks. You can already start testing our new product.

For users to fully benefit from the ecosystem and unlock its full potential, it’s essential to first understand how it works. Few people think about this, but from the very beginning it was important to me that everything be built the right way. This foundation will allow you to quickly get up to speed without having to figure everything out on your own.

V-Academy brings everything together in one place — what used to be scattered across multiple sources: from blockchain and security basics to partner mechanics and gamification. Clear navigation, real ecosystem tools, and practical scenarios you can start using right away.
And most importantly, after completing the course, you receive an NFT certificate — this option will be added soon. NFT certificate will be not just a visual, but a confirmation of your skill level — stored in your profile and ready to be used within the ecosystem. Your knowledge becomes an asset.

Go ahead, test it out, and share your insights. And we’ll keep building.

Today is my birthday, and it’s nothing like the ones before.

I used to always throw grand celebrations: shows, singers, dancers, performances — with loved ones, friends, colleagues, and partners flying in from all over the world.
This year I was so busy that at some point I realized I wasn’t going to organize anything.

This is not a cancellation of the celebration, this is the true celebration during such a roaring period of global launches and projects.
I haven't been out of the extreme activity mode all year. So this time the best gift to myself is silence and self-care.

Spending this day on my own is the very act of self‑care I’ve been needing. To be with myself, to hear my soul, to return to myself. It is the source of my Force.

I’ve noticed: everything I’ve achieved, all my big breakthroughs, happened when I was listening to myself. When I truly knew what I wanted and what I needed.
It was from that self‑love that all my projects were born — the ones that brought a strong community around me.

So I dedicate this day to the true celebration of my birthday, the day of rebirth. To start a year of depth, a year of caring for myself, of joy in my own company, and of discovery.
