First-mover Advantage in the REPM Industry Characterized by Customer Stickiness and High Entry Barriers

The REPM industry is characterized by strong customer stickiness and high entry barriers. The quality of NdFeB PMs has a significant impact on the performance and quality of the customers' final products, so customers tend not to change their supplier easily. JL MAG leverages its professional and technical expertise in high-performance NdFeB PMs to participate in the new product design of the customers, assisting customers to optimize their products' performance and reduce production cost. Meanwhile, the Company exhibits high responsiveness to clients' specialized needs of producing non-standardized products. Its strong R&D capacity, supplemented with execution capability and quality control have enabled the Company to constantly meet the standards set by the customers, which in turn has contributed to its success in building and maintaining solid relationships with them.

Because of the high barriers in customers' accreditation, JL MAG's status as an accredited supplier of many leading customers enhances its brand recognition and reputation, enabling it to leverage the first-mover advantage to secure its established leading position in the industry and further expand the customer base.

Strong R&D Capabilities for Production Optimization and Global-leading GBD Technologies

The production of high-performance NdFeB PMs has high technical barriers. JL MAG optimizes the formulations to help the customers in the wind power sector reduce their production costs through lowering the medium and heavy rare earth added in the production of high-performance NdFeB PMs. In addition, the Company employs its proprietary GBD technology to achieve mass production and develop high-grade products for Energy-saving VFACs sector and NEVs and automotive parts sector that substantially reduce the use of medium and heavy rare earth while maintaining high performance. According to Frost & Sullivan, the GBD technology can generally reduce the use of medium and heavy rare earth by 50% to 70%. The Company's GBD technology is widely applied in the production of its high-performance NdFeB PM finished products in Energy-saving VFACs sector and NEVs and automotive parts sector. It is also applied in the production of certain high-performance NdFeB PM finished products in 3C sector.

Long-term and Stable Strategic Cooperation with Major Rare Earth Suppliers

JL MAG has maintained long-term and firm strategic cooperation with major rare earth suppliers. Five out of the six rare earth groups in China are the Company's rare earth suppliers. Among its suppliers, China Southern Rare Earth was the second largest rare earth mining group in China by annual rare earth mining quota which was 42,450 tonnes in 2021, accounting for approximately 25.3% of the national mining quota in the same year. Its output mainly comprises medium and heavy rare earth. China Southern Rare Earth was among the Company's five largest suppliers during the Track Record Period. The Company has also established firm and strategic cooperative relationship with key rare earth suppliers such as China Southern Rare Earth and China Northern Rare Earth to ensure the long-term and stable supply of rare earth. In China, light rare earth mines are mainly located in Baotou of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region while medium and heavy rare earth deposits are mainly located in southern regions, including Ganzhou, Jiangxi. As a result, the Company's premises in Ganzhou and Baotou endow it with cost advantage, convenient delivery and the stable and reliable supply of rare earth materials.

Moreover, on December 23, 2021, a new rare earth giant, namely, China Rare Earth Group Co., Ltd, was established through a merger of top state-owned operations. China Rare Earth Group Co., Ltd was jointly founded by Aluminum Corporation of China, China Minmetals Corporation, Ganzhou Rare Earth, China
Iron & Steel Research Institute Group and Grinm Group Corporation Ltd. The newly-established China Rare Earth Group Co., Ltd will operate under the direct supervision of SASAC. The establishment of China Rare Earth Group Co., Ltd is conducive to integrating resources, improving applications of new technologies and materials and promoting the long-term sound development of the rare earth industry.

Highly Experienced and Committed Management Team with Visionary Leadership and Proven Execution Capabilities

JL MAG's proven track record of successful operations and leading market position bears testament to its management team's leadership and execution prowess. Led by the Chairman and president, Mr. Cai Baogui, the Company has a deep bench of highly qualified core management team with complementary strengths and a R&D team which is led by two provincial level scientific and technological talents. The management team has deep industry background and extensive management and operational experience. Together with its senior management, employees' technical expertise, combined with extensive know-how accumulated in conducting R&D projects, JL MAG has become a critical supplier in the supply chain systems of leading companies in multiple carbon-reduction sectors, and achieving long track record of high-quality products thereby underpinning the Company to reinforce its established market presence and become the No. 1 global leader in the REPM market.

Mr. Cai Baogui, the Chairman, Executive Director and General Manager of JL MAG Rare-Earth Co., Ltd. said, "In response to climate change, governments in the world are taking active actions to promote new energy and reduce carbon emission. Specifically, China plans to reach carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. As REPMs embody an inherent advantage in reducing carbon emission, under the global trends of carbon emission reduction, the demand of REPMs for downstream industries will continuously increase. In order to capture the growing downstream demand, JL MAG plans to further scale up its production capacity, expand its industry chain through selective acquisitions or strategic investments, further strengthen its R&D efforts in improving the production techniques and diversify the current product portfolio, and grasp the strategic opportunity period of upward development of the industry to proactively expand the global business footprint. Looking forward, JL MAG is committed to facilitating the pursuit of carbon peak and carbon neutrality both in China and around the world through production and provision of high-performance NdFeB PMs and realizing its mission of 'Better Life with Rare Earths'."

DigiMax Launches ESG AI Division; Invests into Green Energy Solutions Company MADA Analytics

TORONTO, ON, Dec 31, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - DIGIMAX GLOBAL INC. (the "Company" or "DigiMax") (CSE:DIGI) is excited to announce it is launching an ESG Solutions Division within the Company. This Division will concentrate on using Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Analytics to close multiple gaps in the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment space that will help investors make better investment decisions and also help developers lower their cost of capital.

DigiMax has identified opportunities to immediately provide these solutions to:
1) Green energy development and operations;
2) Tracking and predicting carbon credit arbitrage and trading opportunities around the globe; and
3) Monitoring and evaluating ESG opportunities and trends on behalf of large investors to analyze appropriate investment opportunities.

As a first step in launching this new Division, DigiMax is investing US $250,000 into MADA Analytics ("MADA") by way of an unsecured, convertible note (the "Note"). The Note provides for interest on the principal amount at the rate of 5% per annum and is convertible into common shares of MADA at a price per share equal to US$5 million divided by the total number of outstanding common shares immediately prior to maturity.

DigiMax is also acquiring the right for up to one year, pursuant to an option agreement with MADA and its shareholders (the "Option Agreement"), to acquire 100% ownership of the outstanding shares of MADA. The Option Agreement specifies certain operational milestones to be achieved by MADA prior to the exercise of the purchase option (the "Milestones"). The Milestones are: i) MADA raising a minimum of US$750,000 pursuant to one or more financings (not including the current DigiMax investment); and ii) MADA entering into customer contracts to generate minimum revenues of EUR1 million during the 2-year term of the contracts, both of which must occur within six (6) months of the Digimax investment.

The purchase price (the "Purchase Price") under the Option Agreement shall be either: i) an enterprise value of $5 million once the Milestones are achieved; or ii) otherwise, not less than 80% of the valuation reached by an independent valuator or valuators selected by MADA and the Company. It is anticipated that consideration for the purchase will be comprised of approximately 25% cash and the balance in common shares issued by the company priced at the time the purchase is to be completed.

A Share Purchase Agreement is intended to be completed and attached to the Option Agreement within 45 days and shall contain customary terms and provisions, including, completion of due diligence and the receipt of all necessary third party and Exchange approvals. While the parties are equally motivated to see the Option Agreement exercised as quickly as possible, there can be no absolute assurance that the MADA acquisition will be completed exactly as described, or at all.

MADA was created in 2018 in order to provide a smoother way for renewable energy projects to get funded faster and at a lower cost of capital than ever before available. MADA accomplishes this through its MADA Energy Processing Solution or "MEPS."

MEPS is a unique AI engine (integrated via API) enabling existing and proposed renewable energy products to predict and prove:
- stable and predictable cash flows
- data-driven performance insurance for project finance
- identifying the most cost-effective financing solutions
- optimization of storage systems, financial models, and enhanced project finance returns for investors

MEPS can be licensed for use by project developers, project finance insurance companies, and engineering companies to assess existing and proposed projects and to determine optimal targeting of multiples of project variables.

MEPS has already formed partnership alliances with several leading global industry participants, including:
- RINA Engineering
- Schneider Electric
- Barclays Bank
- Milliman, global insurance advisors
- Morgan Stanley Impact Fund
- Artesian Venture Partners
- BRINC Investments

The first MADA product offering is MARICube which MADA and RINA have jointly developed. MARICube is a comprehensive, AI-driven project analysis solution that combines weather, geographical, political, and financial variables to improve projects. New renewable energy projects are expensive to finance due to the high level of uncertainty of final output. MARICube drastically lowers the level of uncertainty, making projects less expensive to finance, and therefore providing higher returns to investors and the local communities served by these projects. MARICube also helps existing projects optimize dozens of operating variables to substantially lower operating costs and maximize output.

MADA has generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in initial revenue from its software product solution and services to date. This number is poised to grow significantly as enhanced AI is added to MEPS. DigiMax, with its existing AI engine with team and infrastructure to support it, provides a perfect complement to MADA. Together, the two companies will substantially accelerate the MADA product offering.

"We believe that MADA is a perfect partner for DigiMax as we can provide the AI expertise that they require to take their already amazing product offering to the next level," says DigiMax CEO Chris Carl. "DigiMax sees this as a substantial recurring revenue business that provides optimization and cost-saving solution to EVERY renewable energy project on the planet in an industry that consists of several $trillion of installed projects globally and $300-500 billion of new projects being funded annually. If MARICube can provide even a 5% funding cost reduction or a 2% operating cost reduction to these projects, the value delivered to industry participants is enormous."

"We are excited to partner with DigiMax to help the MADA product solution become a leading optimization tool in the industry, focused on maximizing profits for renewable energy by de-risking projects with performance insurance, optimizing energy management, and quantifying CO2 reduction from renewable energy supplied," says MADA CEO Daniel Gimpel. "The engineering and project finance skillsets inside of DigiMax can help both our companies become a leading global brand name for both developers and investors to assist in making their renewable energy projects the best that they can be. Together with our other global partners, MADA Analytics can bring its solutions to every continent on the globe."

This number is poised to grow significantly as enhanced AI is added to MEPS. DigiMax, with its existing AI engine with team and infrastructure to support it, provides a perfect complement to MADA. Together, the two companies will substantially accelerate the MADA product offering.

"We believe that MADA is a perfect partner for DigiMax as we can provide the AI expertise that they require to take their already amazing product offering to the next level," says DigiMax CEO Chris Carl. "DigiMax sees this as a substantial recurring revenue business that provides optimization and cost-saving solution to EVERY renewable energy project on the planet in an industry that consists of several $trillion of installed projects globally and $300-500 billion of new projects being funded annually. If MARICube can provide even a 5% funding cost reduction or a 2% operating cost reduction to these projects, the value delivered to industry participants is enormous."

"We are excited to partner with DigiMax to help the MADA product solution become a leading optimization tool in the industry, focused on maximizing profits for renewable energy by de-risking projects with performance insurance, optimizing energy management, and quantifying CO2 reduction from renewable energy supplied," says MADA CEO Daniel Gimpel. "The engineering and project finance skillsets inside of DigiMax can help both our companies become a leading global brand name for both developers and investors to assist in making their renewable energy projects the best that they can be. Together with our other global partners, MADA Analytics can bring its solutions to every continent on the globe."

Sirnaomics Ltd., the RNA Therapeutics Biopharmaceutical Company with Strong Presence in Both China and the U.S. Successfully Listed on Main Board of SEHK

HONG KONG, Dec 30, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - Sirnaomics Ltd. ("Sirnaomics" or "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group", stock code: 2257.HK), the RNA therapeutics biopharmaceutical company with strong presence in both China and the U.S., and the first company to achieve positive Phase IIa clinical outcomes in oncology for an RNAi therapeutics, is officially listed and commenced trading on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("SEHK") today.

Sirnaomics's listing ceremony in Suzhou: Ms. Yun Monica Zhang, China Chief Operating Officer, Board Secretary and Joint Company Secretary (Left); Dr. Yang Lu, Founder, Chairman, Executive Director, President and Chief Executive Officer (Second left); Mr. George Ji, Chief Operation Officer (Second right); Dr. Edward Yongxiang Wang, Chief Production Officer (Right)

The total number of offer shares under the Global Offering amounts to 7,540,000 shares, with the final offer price determined at HK$65.90 per offer share. The net proceeds from the Global Offering to be received by the Company, after deduction of the underwriting fees and expenses paid and payable by the Company in connection with the Global Offering, are estimated to be approximately HK$395.7 million. The Hong Kong offer shares initially offered under the Hong Kong Public Offering have been slightly over-subscribed, where the total number of valid applications amounted to approximately 5.68 times of the total number of Hong Kong offer shares initially available for subscription under the Hong Kong Public Offering. The offer shares initially offered under the International Offering have also been slightly over-subscribed by approximately 1.22 times.

The product pipeline of Sirnaomics has over a dozen of candidates for a wide range of therapeutic indications across rare diseases and diseases with large patient populations covering oncology, fibrosis, medical aesthetics, antiviral, cardiometabolic diseases and other fields. Its product candidates currently span all stages from preclinical research and IND-enabling studies to Phase I and Phase II clinical trials, creating an enriched portfolio and an extended timeline of product candidates. The proprietary delivery platforms for administration of RNA-based therapeutics are the foundation Sirnaomics' pipeline, and the related proprietary PNP and novel GalNAc delivery platforms confer advantages over conventional delivery platforms. The Company believes its highly innovative RNAi delivery platforms set Sirnaomics in a class by itself. The PNP delivery platform allows delivery of both siRNA and mRNA to diseased cells via local or systemic administration, providing distinct advantages in low toxicity, easy manufacturing and the capability to reach many targeted organs and cell types. The results of Phase IIa clinical trial in oncology validate both the effectiveness of its PNP delivery platform and the therapeutic targets for isSCC, positioning the Company for accelerated development of other pipeline products using the same PNP delivery platform. The Company's core product candidate STP705, another clinical stage product candidate STP707, and at least eight other preclinical candidates all utilize the PNP delivery platform. RNAimmune, a controlled subsidiary of Sirnaomics, also applies PNP and a related proprietary delivery platform based on polypeptide-lipid nanoparticles (PLNP), to develop mRNA-based therapeutics and vaccines.

Dr. Patrick Y. Lu, Founder, Chairman of Board, President and CEO of Sirnaomics said, "Today marked a significant milestone in Sirnaomics' history. Our successful debut in the Hong Kong stock market shows global investors' profound recognition for our strategic model, growth potential, proprietary and novel drug delivery platforms, rich product pipeline and experienced management team. We are so proud and would like to express our sincere gratitude to investors for their trust and support to Sirnaomics. We are committed to becoming a fully-integrated international biopharmaceutical company. Leveraging its deep experience in RNA therapeutics and novel delivery platform technologies, the Company will continuously advance the development of innovative therapeutic modalities for the treatment of a broad range of diseases and strengthen our intellectual properties to maximize the clinical potential to rapidly discover, develop and commercialize more transformative therapeutics and vaccines for patients around the world."

About Sirnaomics Ltd.

Esprit Revitalized with Series of Exciting Developments in the Pipeline

HONG KONG, Dec 29, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - ESPRIT HOLDINGS LIMITED ("Esprit", "the Company" or "the Group"; HKEx: 00330) is pleased to announce that it has several exciting developments in the pipeline, which clearly hints at the return of the "Esprit" brand to the Asian market. After relocating its headquarters back to Hong Kong earlier this year, the Group is delighted to announce the appointment of its new Chief Product Officer ("CPO"), Mr. Sang Langill ("Mr. Langill"), who joined the Company in September 2021, spurring the creation of a series of new capsule collections and adjusting the Group's strategy to focus on its e-commerce expansion.

For the six months ended 30 June 2021 ("the Period"), during which time the Group underwent a number of operational changes, Esprit recorded a turnaround from loss to profit for the first time since the annual results for the year ended 30 June 2017, highlighting the success of its ongoing restructuring activities. Unaudited profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company was approximately HK$121 million, as compared with the unaudited loss attributable to the shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$3,661 million for the prior corresponding period. This positive result was partly due to the stringent cost control measures implemented by the Group, as well as a significant reduction in losses for exceptional items and the improvement in sales, particularly from its e-commerce channels.

Additional noteworthy financial highlights for the six months ended 30 June 2021 (unaudited) include:

1. EBIT turned positive to HK$164 million, a substantial improvement in performance reversing the HK$3,119 million LBIT for the comparable six months period ended 30 June 2020. EBIT margin was reported at 4.2%;

2. Net profit attributable to shareholders for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was reported at HK$121 million with net profit margin of 3.1%, reversing the HK$3,661 million net loss for the comparable six months period ended 30 June 2020; and

3. Inventories as at 30 June 2021 was reported at HK$1,249 million, representing 1.2% reduction compared with HK$1,265 million reported as at 30 June 2020, and 32.3% reduction compared with HK$1,845 million reported as at 30 June 2019 as a result of rationalisation of inventory management efforts.

Adhering to the Group's motto - "We want to make you feel good to look good" - Esprit has continuously been enhancing its products in terms of design and quality, focusing on apparel that last longer and in turn, are more environmentally friendly and sustainable. Having developed into a brand coveted by people around the world, Esprit is now excited to announce that it will be launching a series of new capsule collections throughout 2022 via omnichannel. The pieces in these collections are not just apparel products; they have been lovingly designed around themes infused with Esprit's DNA, ultimately aiming to ignite a sense of nostalgia with the customer and to evoke memories of love, joy and happiness that they shared with Esprit. By focusing on the brand's story back in the late 70s through the 90s, the team hopes to bring its colorful heritage and successes into the modern age, reminding customers of Esprit's long history as a leader in fashion, encouraging them to feel the same way that its designers do about the brand and their creations.

The limited edition capsule pieces have been curated and designed by members from garment and product design, merchandising, branding, and concept to consumer teams, located in different regions including Germany, Seoul, New York, Los Angeles, and, last but not least, Hong Kong. Together, these teams form Esprit's global design hub, led by the Company's CPO, based in Hong Kong. Mr. Langill says, "I am excited and honoured to be part of a brand with such a strong heritage. Furthermore, I am impressed by the passion and dedication exhibited by the teams throughout all our regions. I am confident that our love and passion for Esprit will be reflected in our upcoming collections."

Going forward, e-commerce will be Esprit's key strategic pillar for its global ambitions. The Group is now looking into leveraging its e-commerce partnerships and expansion of its own proprietary direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform to accelerate this growth driver in Asia. Meanwhile, the Group is also accelerating its first-party data capture and smart use of data to increase brand awareness and strengthen customer loyalty.

Ms. CHIU Christin Su Yi, Chairman, concluded, "Sang will take on the global leadership of the product and merchandising side of the business. I have great confidence and expectations for Sang and his team to introduce new innovation and creativity to Esprit's product offering to not only drive sales but to also help our brand better engage with customers in a meaningful way."

Please look out for the many more exciting developments to come!

About ESPRIT
Fueled by the vision of essential positivity, Esprit was founded in California by couple Susie and Doug Tompkins in 1968. Inspired by the revolutionary spirit of the 60s, the brand developed a clear philosophy - always celebrating real people and togetherness, in line with the brand's promise: "We want to make you feel good to look good". The success story of Esprit is based on two pillars: Delivering joy every day through laid-back tailored, high quality essentials and carefully selected fashion-forward pieces while staying true to its core values of sustainability, equality and freedom of choice. Example: In the early 90s, long before "Eco Fashion" became fashionable, Esprit debuted its first "ecollection" made of 100% organic cotton and featured its own team instead of models in honor of their "Real People Campaign."

Keeping this spirit alive since day one, today Esprit has a presence in more than 30 markets around the globe. The Group has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 1993, and Esprit's global headquarters is located in Hong Kong.

Decentralized Daily Fantasy Sports Platform, Fanfury Set to Be Launched

Tortola, British Virgin Islands, Dec 28, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - Fantasy Terra Co Ltd has recently announced the launch of its platform - Fanfury, a decentralized daily fantasy sports project. Introducing trust-less fantasy sports to the world, Fanfury aims at facilitating player vs player and large contest pools in which participants compete by creating virtual teams comprising players from a range of professional sports. Based on existing daily fantasy sports principles, Fanfury will use a point system to quantify the performance of selected players as well their overall results in competitions.

Built on Terra, Fanfury has been designed to be a daily fantasy sports app with both a profit-sharing structure and community ownership. Integrating advanced technologies like smart contracts and multiple Oracles to prevent manipulation, Fantasy Terra Co Ltd and Fanfury will leverage these tools to control the rules governing the play and to validate data from real-world sources. Fanfury is seeking to achieve this by utilizing Chainlink, Supra, and Band protocol.

With Fanfury's gamified staking pools, participants can choose from over 300 teams across major league sports. Only one team can be picked per wallet. Users can hold and stake Fanfury's native token, $FURY on the team pool they choose allowing them to earn daily distributed rewards. The gamified reward distribution feature ensures that rewards are distributed according to a team's standing on the leaderboard.

Deflationary economics has been built into the Fanfury tokenomics. The Terra-built platform will burn 40% of rake fees earned on every contest. This is part of the development team's strategies to drive circulation and, in turn, accelerate the price of the token. If the prices of the $FURY tokens are high, only a diminutive percentage will be burnt.

Smart contracts will be implemented to control the collection of entry fees, the size of the pool, the number of teams, and the proprietary governing rules. At a flat rate of 5%, Fanfury prides itself as the project with one of the lowest rake fees in the industry. Fanfury has raised $1.8 million from Angel, Seed, and private rounds at a market cap of $14.7 million.

Offering players an opportunity to choose from over 2,000 prominent leagues like the English Premier League [EPL], La Liga, NBA, etc., Fanfury will not only create a sustainable incentivized liquidity program but will revolutionize the sports fantasy game as it is.

Fanfury aims at delivering real-world digital data, liquidity, transparency, decentralization, and offering gamers new ways to earn and express their undying passion for sports.

About Fantasy Terra Co Ltd

A product of Fantasy Terra Co Ltd, Fanfury is a blockchain-based sports fantasy game that has been designed to offer players a wide range of options. Incorporating access to over 2,000 leagues, incentivizing players, and rewarding liquidity providers, Fanfury aims at delivering decentralization, real-world data collection, liquidity, transparency, and digital ownership to the industry. Integrating advanced technologies, this Terra-based platform will try to dispel all forms of manipulations while ensuring that predetermined rules governing gameplay are adhered to.

London, UK, Dec 28, 2021 - (JCN Newswire) - The First 2000 metapunks were sold privately. Now, it is open to the general public.

  • Ecosystem Matters

Metapunks is one of the first large NFT collections on Algorand. Despite being a top 20 coin with a 10B$+ market cap, Algorand is still not on the radar of many cryptocurrency investors. The Algorand ecosystem is young and rapidly developing. Original NFT projects on Algorand, such as Al Goanna, made their original owners by making them thousands of percent in average return. Despite being a new project, Metapunks is widely known in the Algorand community. The project was featured twice on the main page of Algorand.com ( https://algorand.com/ ).

Another example is an official collaboration with the Drone Racing League announced on the Decipher, the leading Algorand conference, which brought together around 400 participants in 2021.

The team behind Metapunks published an excellent competitive analysis article about Algorand blockchain. You can read it [here](https://bit.ly/why-algorand).

  • Lots of Potential

The project has an ambitious roadmap. At the beginning of 2021, they plan to introduce the META token, NFT Staking, NFT Swap, and other DeFi mechanics. But the main milestone in the roadmap is MetaDAO, one of the first DAO projects on Algorand. MetaDAO will invest in other projects Metaverse aligned projects "on Algorand and beyond."

Moonstake to Support Staking of Everscale (EVER) in 2022

SINGAPORE, Dec 28, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - Moonstake announced today it will implement staking support for EVER, the native coin of the Everscale blockchain, which was rebranded from FreeTON earlier this month, in early 2022. With this update, Moonstake Wallet users can now send, receive, and own EVER on both the web and mobile versions. Moonstake is the world's first multi-asset wallet for EVER, as EVER has only been supported by dedicated EVER wallets until now.


Moonstake launched its staking business in 2020 with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, it has developed the most user-friendly Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS/Android) with support for over 2,000 cryptocurrencies. Currently, Moonstake supports 14 high-demand staking coins: Cosmos, IRIS, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, Polkadot, Quras, Centrality, Orbs, IOST, TRON, and Shiden. After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake's total staking assets have grown rapidly to reach $1.8 Billion and by June 2021, Moonstake was the third best staking provider in the world out of 15,000 staking providers worldwide. In March 2021, the company entered DeFi with Muse.Finance, a DeFi platform, and will continue to expand into the DeFi business.

Meanwhile, Everscale Network is a blockchain made up of DAOs called sub-governance. Everscale is an SDK with Solidity and C++ compilers, APIs, 13 programming languages, and client libraries for all popular platforms, local nodes for DApp testing, CLI tools, DeFi, NFT, tokenization, and governance. It has powerful developer tools such as a decentralized browser and a range of wallets that empower many applications. Everscale is a new and unique blockchain design that combines a scalable distributed world computer with the distributed operating system Ever OS.

Previously, Everscale, known as Free TON at the time, hosted a social media sharing campaign to engage their community in staking support on Moonstake. This campaign helped Free TON gain nearly 7,000 engagements and over 1,200 shares. Since then, Moonstake has been working with Everscale to support sending and receiving EVER, and has now also decided to implement staking support.

With Everscale's large global community, Moonstake plans to offer new user experiences and exciting opportunities through a variety of events in 2022.

About Moonstake

Moonstake was recently established to develop a staking pool protocol to satisfy increasing demands in regional and global blockchain markets. Moonstake develops a staking pool protocol and provides business services through partners and companies.

Moonstake aims to be the largest staking pool network in Asia by providing an active environment for crypto asset holders. Establishing a clear partnership roadmap with Moonstake represents another significant milestone for continuing to strengthen ties with leading platforms across Asia's burgeoning Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) ecosystem. Partnerships have been announced with Emurgo, Ontology and NEO to boost staking adoption, Binarystar, Japan's biggest blockchain hub, OIO Holdings Limited (SGX: OIO), a Singapore-listed company. Industry's reputed advisors, such as Lisk and Lawrence Lim of RAMP DEFI support Moonstake's innovative journey.

With a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, we expanded our business and as of now, our total staking assets exceeded over USD 1 billion. https://www.moonstake.io/

NECファシリティーズ、KMバイオロジクスと熊本事業所における新たな施設管理契約を締結

TOKYO, Dec 27, 2021 - (JCN Newswire) - NECファシリティーズ株式会社(本社:東京都港区、代表取締役社長:松下 裕、以下NECファシリティーズ)は、明治ホールディングス株式会社傘下のKMバイオロジクス株式会社(本社:熊本県熊本市、代表取締役社長:永里 敏秋、以下KMバイオロジクス)とKMバイオロジクス熊本事業所(以下熊本事業所)の施設管理業務を24時間常駐へ拡大する委託契約を締結しました。

この契約に基づき、NECファシリティーズは本年12月より熊本事業所で24時間365日、省エネに配慮した高付加価値の施設管理業務を開始し、同事業所で製造される医薬品の安定供給に貢献してまいります。

背景と概要

昨今、製造業において工場で消費されるエネルギーの効率的運用は、製造コストの低減に加え環境配慮への意識の高まりもあり、大きな経営課題となっていますが、有力なエネルギーの効率的運用の指標のひとつに「エネルギー原単位(注1)」があります。例えば、九州地区に立地する半導体工場の施設管理においてNECファシリティーズはその考え方を発展させ、ガス・重油等の燃料や電力の使用量を常時見える化するため、消費エネルギーや各種設備の稼働状況を把握する仕組みを構築しました。独自のパラメータ設定により設備の運転効率の即時把握及び異常に至る兆候の把握を行い、省エネと工場の安定稼働を実現する高付加価値の施設管理を目指しています。またこの独自手法により、設備間のエネルギーロスを探して廃熱の再利用等を見出せる等、一層の省エネとCO2排出抑制が期待されています。

今回、NECファシリティーズは、KMバイオロジクスの医薬品の研究開発と生産増強への集中、医薬品の安定供給ならびに省エネを両立させる方策として、これまで一部委託されていた施設管理実績及びエネルギー原単位を発展させた管理手法への期待を受けて、業務内容拡大の契約締結に至りました。

今後の展開

NECファシリティーズは、お客様工場のライフサイクルマネジメント(Factory life cycle management)にTotal IFM(注2)で貢献し、総合的な課題解決を提供しています。これまでも熊本事業所の環境付帯設備の改善工事を通じ、設備の効率化と水質汚濁、大気汚染といった環境保全リスクの軽減並びにSDGsの実現に貢献してまいりました。

今後、同事業所において24時間365日、環境に配慮した施設管理業務で工場の安定稼働に貢献するとともに、同社製医薬品の安定供給を全面的に支援してまいります。
