MIL-OSI: Bitget Wallet Launches Contract Risk Detection Tool to Strengthen Security

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, April 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget Wallet, a leading Web3 non-custodial wallet, has introduced the token contract risk detection feature to strengthen transaction security across its platform. The feature enables users to screen for potential risks before engaging with tokens, reflecting Bitget Wallet’s continued commitment to user protection and transparency in decentralized finance.

The feature is now available for tokens on six major blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Accessible directly within the token candlestick chart interface, users can review essential contract data, including permission status, token distribution among top holders, and burn ratios. These indicators help identify potential vulnerabilities such as excessive centralization or active minting permissions, which may signal higher risk.

As onchain participation increases and interest in long-tail assets grows, users are navigating an increasingly fragmented and complex token landscape. Without reliable data, it becomes challenging to assess token credibility and contract behavior. According to the Onchain Report, 37% of users cite security risks as their top concern when using crypto for payments or transfers, highlighting the demand for accessible tools that address these challenges. The launch of Bitget Wallet’s detection tool aims to bridge this gap with greater clarity and control.

The new tool complements Bitget Wallet’s broader security framework, which includes MEV protection by default, onchain transaction simulation, and integrated threat detection. Together, these measures form a comprehensive protection system designed to minimize user exposure to malicious contracts and trading vulnerabilities.

“As DeFi adoption accelerates, providing users with accessible tools to evaluate risk is no longer optional — it’s essential,” said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet. “This feature is part of our broader strategy to empower users with the information they need to navigate Web3 safely and confidently.”

About Bitget Wallet
Bitget Wallet is the home of Web3, uniting endless possibilities in one non-custodial wallet. With over 60 million users, it offers comprehensive onchain services, including asset management, instant swaps, rewards, staking, trading tools, live market data, a DApp browser and crypto payment solutions. Supporting over 130 blockchains, 20,000+ DApps, and millions of tokens, Bitget Wallet enables seamless multi-chain trading across hundreds of DEXs and cross-chain bridges, along with a $300+ million protection fund to ensure safety of users’ assets.

Press release

Trifork secures landmark project to transform Oman’s healthcare system

Muscat, 11 April 2025 – The Ministry of Health in Oman has selected Trifork to develop a state-of-the-art Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) system while integrating with the National Health Information Exchange (NHER), which in parallel will be upgraded by Trifork during the project. This project represents a significant milestone in modernizing Oman’s healthcare system in alignment with Oman Vision 2040.

After a competitive bidding process involving six contenders, Trifork was selected for its more than 20 years of expertise in Digital Health, which has been demonstrated through successful projects in Switzerland and Denmark and its strong international profile.

Strengthening Oman’s healthcare system

The project aims to upgrade Oman’s healthcare systems. The benefits of the new system include improved cost recovery, allowing government providers to reclaim insurance companies’ expenses more efficiently, faster claims processing, and reduced waiting times for patients at Ministry of Health facilities, which are key steps toward a more patient-focused healthcare experience.

Key phases and deliverables

The project is structured into phases, with gradual implementation over two years. The initial proof of concept will be completed in six months, followed by a gradual implementation of core functionalities, ensuring that the benefits of the solutions are implemented as soon as possible.

These milestones align with the Ministry of Health’s digitalization strategy, which focuses on enhancing healthcare efficiency, data-driven decision-making, and seamless patient care through advanced technology. They also support Oman Vision 2040’s broader goals of leveraging digital transformation to improve public services, strengthen healthcare infrastructure, and drive sustainable national development.

Strategic partnership

Trifork Oman brings invaluable expertise from similar engagements across Europe to the project. By integrating advanced solutions and leveraging global best practices, the company will deliver a tailored system that meets the unique needs of Oman’s healthcare ecosystem.

The Ministry of Health in Oman oversees 263 health institutions, including 50 hospitals (4,954 beds), 21 health complexes, and 192 health centers. In 2022, they recorded 14.9 million outpatient visits – about 41,000 daily. Serving over 5 million people, the ministry prioritizes accessible, high-quality care and advances digital transformation under Oman’s Vision 2040.

Commitment to innovation in Oman

“This contract represents a major milestone for Trifork Oman in our ambition to contribute to the Sultanate’s goals for digital transformation and innovation. We are honored to use our strong expertise in digital health to contribute to the ongoing innovation in Oman’s healthcare sector and see this as the start of a long partnership,” says Christian Hemmingsen, CEO of Trifork Oman.

MIL-OSI: EfTEN Real Estate Fund AS’s financial results for Q1 2025 and net asset value as of 31 March 2025
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

EfTEN Real Estate Fund AS earned EUR 7.678 million in consolidated rental income during the first quarter, representing a 0.5% increase compared to the same period last year. The Fund’s consolidated EBITDA amounted to EUR 6.181 million, which is 4.3% less than in the same period a year ago. In the first quarter, the Fund generated EUR 2.758 million in adjusted cash flow (EBITDA minus interest expenses, loan principal repayments, and income tax expense), which is EUR 139 thousand more than in the same period last year, mainly due to lower interest expenses.

The weighted average interest rate on the loans of the Fund’s subsidiaries fell to 4.37% by the end of March, decreasing by 0.527 percentage points compared to the end of the previous year. On a comparable basis, the total interest expense for the first quarter of this year was EUR 1.675 million, which is EUR 486 thousand (22%) lower than a year earlier.

In March the Fund earned EUR 2,556 thousand in consolidated rental income, which is EUR 10 thousand less than in February. Rental income-related expenses increased exceptionally in March by EUR 111 thousand. This increase was mainly due to the one-off recognition of a provision for receivables in the amount of EUR 89 thousand related to the bankrupt company Aktsiaselts Hortes. The provision reflects the Fund’s conservative accounting principles and is not connected to the legal treatment of the claim. As of 1 April, Rikets Aianduskeskus OÜ has replaced AS Hortes as the tenant of the Laagri gardening center.

The Fund’s consolidated EBITDA for March amounted to EUR 1,990 thousand, which is EUR 159 thousand less than in February. At the end of March, the overall vacancy rate in the Fund’s real estate portfolio was 4.4%.

The Fund’s consolidated cash balance decreased due to additional property investments by EUR 3,350 thousand in March, reaching EUR 19,038 thousand by the end of the month. In March, a subsidiary of the Fund made a new property investment by acquiring the Hiiu care home property in Tallinn. The acquisition cost of the property, including related expenses, totaled EUR 4,016 thousand. Additionally, EUR 619 thousand was invested in the ongoing development project at Paemurru logistics center, and EUR 118 thousand was paid for construction work related to the next phase of the Valkla elderly home. Paemurru logistics center is planned to be finished and will start to generate rental income for the Fund from mid-April.

As of 31 March 2025, the Fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share was EUR 20.7371 and EPRA NRV was EUR 21.5985. The NAV per share increased by a typical 0.6% in March.

SEALCOIN Demonstrates Satellite-Enabled IoT Transactions Using WISeSat LEO Constellation

Pushing the Frontiers of IoT with Secure, Decentralized Microtransactions Beyond Terrestrial Limits

Geneva, Switzerland, April 11, 2025 –WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity, blockchain, and IoT company, today announced that its subsidiary SEALCOIN AG, unveiled a groundbreaking Proof of Concept (PoC) that illustrates the Company’s ability to integrate with remote IoT devices through satellite communications. Leveraging the WISeSat Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation and the FOSSA IoT platform, this milestone marks a major step toward SEALCOIN’s vision for a decentralized, transactional IoT that transcends terrestrial infrastructure.

Built on WISeKey’s satellite infrastructure, the PoC enables microtransaction-driven data exchanges between fully off-the-grid IoT devices, with each data set cryptographically signed at the source device for integrity and trust.

The architecture operates as follows:

Device-to-Device Exchange via Satellite: A request for data is initiated by one IoT device and fulfilled by another using SEALCOIN as the value exchange layer.
REST API Integration with WISeSat via FOSSA: The responding device acts as a bridge to the WISeSat network through a REST API, retrieving data from the satellite-linked database, which has been securely signed by the source device.
Blockchain Settlement via SEALCOIN on Hedera: Each exchange is recorded and settled securely and efficiently via the SEALCOIN token on the Hedera network.

This PoC proves the feasibility of executing secure, decentralized, satellite-enabled data transactions between machines in geographically isolated or infrastructure-deficient environments. The implications for smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, autonomous logistics, and defense applications are immense, setting the stage for a new wave of use cases previously unimaginable.

This is the first iteration of SEALCOIN’s satellite integration roadmap. Looking ahead, the project will focus on embedding SEALCOIN capabilities directly within satellites, secured at the silicon level using Secure Element technology. This foundational step will enable future “Satellite-as-a-Service” business models, where spaceborne infrastructure autonomously participates in decentralized economies.

“Our goal with SEALCOIN has always been to make transactional IoT borderless, scalable, and secure,” said Carlos Moreira, CEO of WISeKey Group. “With this demo, we’ve not only expanded that vision into space but opened doors to solutions for regions with no cellular or terrestrial coverage”.

SEALCOIN’s architecture is inherently modular, supporting a plug-and-play approach to new types of sensors and satellite operators, further enhancing its potential for global deployment.

This is just the beginning of a bold trajectory toward true device-to-device economies, decentralized, autonomous, and resilient by design.

MIL-OSI: Prospera Energy Announces Leadership and Operations Update

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

CALGARY, Alberta, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Prospera Energy Inc. (TSX.V: PEI, OTC: GXRFF) (“Prospera“, “PEI” or the “Corporation“)

Leadership Announcement
Prospera Energy is pleased to announce key appointments to its leadership team, positioning the Company for sustained long term success. Effective immediately, Shubham Garg, who has served as Chairman of the Board since October 2024, will assume the additional role of Interim Chief Executive Officer. Alongside this, Prospera welcomes Mr. Christopher Moore to its Board of Directors. A seasoned entrepreneur and investor, Mr. Moore is a prominent shareholder of the Corporation and brings a formidable blend of industry expertise and market insight. Prospera’s five-member Board now collectively owns 13% of the Company’s outstanding common equity, while reporting insiders control 36%, underscoring a strong alignment between leadership and shareholder interests.

Mr. Moore brings a deep understanding of the oil and gas markets, paired with extensive experience in scaling businesses. His data-driven approach and sharp grasp of market trends will significantly enhance Prospera’s strategic direction. Beyond his business acumen, Mr. Moore is well-versed in corporate governance and is deeply committed to fostering transparency, accountability, and ethical leadership. With a proven track record of guiding organizations through governance enhancements, he will play a pivotal role in strengthening Prospera’s internal policies and ensuring the highest standards of integrity are upheld. His leadership will be instrumental as Prospera navigates through complex regulatory landscapes and will promote a culture of responsibility, supporting both PEI’s long-term success and the trust of stakeholders.

Loan Amendment
The Corporation announces a further amendment to its $11,000,000 promissory note, originally dated July 7, 2024, in collaboration with its principal lender. Following previous increases, an additional $1,000,000 has been added, bringing the total principal amount to $15,500,000. The note retains its original terms, including a 12% interest rate and a two-year maturity, with no other changes. This amendment remains subject to acceptance by the TSXV.

Operations Update
Amid volatile oil prices and the looming threat of potential tariffs, Prospera is proactively adapting to operational uncertainty by refining its short-term business strategy. The Corporation is evaluating options such as pausing growth capital—which is already on hold due to the seasonal spring break-up—and engaging in discussions with service providers to optimize vendor payment strategies. These measures affirm Prospera’s commitment to maintaining financial flexibility and operational resilience in an uncertain market.

Prospera’s reactivation program, completed in Q1 2025 at its Luseland property, continues to deliver impressive results. As of April 8^th, 2025, Luseland production reached 190 barrels per day (bbls/d), reflecting a remarkable 186% increase since the transformative changes to the company’s board and management on October 31^st, 2024. Ongoing well optimizations are driving further success, with high fluid levels being effectively managed through pump speed adjustments as sand cuts decline, while significant opportunities for additional optimization remain. The company will provide a comprehensive operations update later this month, offering further insights into its progress and strategic direction.

About Prospera

Prospera Energy Inc. is a publicly traded Canadian energy company specializing in the exploration, development, and production of crude oil and natural gas. Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Prospera is dedicated to optimizing recovery from legacy fields using environmentally safe and efficient reservoir development methods and production practices. The company’s core properties are strategically located in Saskatchewan and Alberta, including Cuthbert, Luseland, Hearts Hill, and Brooks. Prospera Energy Inc. is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol PEI and the U.S. OTC Market under GXRFF.

Prospera reports gross production at the first point of sale, excluding gas used in operations and volumes from partners in arrears, even if cash proceeds are received. Gross production represents Prospera’s working interest before royalties, while net production reflects its working interest after royalty deductions. These definitions align with ASC 51-324 to ensure consistency and transparency in reporting. It is important to note that BOEs (barrels of oil equivalent) may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. The BOE conversion ratio of 6 Mcf:1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

MIL-OSI: Political Activist Zahid F. Sarder Saddi Backs Tulsi Gabbard on Religious Persecution in Bangladesh

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

Washington, DC , April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

“From Political Intimidation to Targeted Attacks—Bangladesh’s Minority Communities Remain Under Threat Despite Decades of Struggle. Zahid F. Sarder Saddi Joins Tulsi Gabbard in Condemning Religious Persecution—A Global Wake-Up Call.”

In a time when global human rights concerns continue to shape diplomatic discussions, former U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard’s recent statement regarding the systematic persecution of religious minorities in Bangladesh has drawn global attention, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. She highlighted the ongoing abuse and displacement of minority communities, a crisis that has persisted since the birth of Bangladesh in 1971. As someone who has long advocated for democracy, religious freedom, and human rights, I wholeheartedly support her stance and recognize the urgency of addressing this growing crisis, says Zahid F. Sarder Saddi, a prominent exiled Bangladeshi politician, humanitarian, and advocate for Bangladesh and its people.

For decades, Bangladesh’s religious minorities, including Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists, have faced systematic persecution. The mass atrocities committed since the country’s liberation war in 1971 have persisted over the years, resulting in millions of religious minorities being driven from their homes. While some may argue that Bangladesh has evolved into a democratic nation, the reality for many minority groups remains grim. Decades later, the situation is still dire. Violent attacks, destruction of places of worship, and forced displacements continue to this day, often overlooked or ignored by the authorities. Gabbard’s remarks serve as an important reminder that despite the passage of time, religious minorities in Bangladesh still face systematic persecution at the hands of radicalized groups, says Zahid F Sarder Saddi.

Tulsi Gabbard’s remarks shed light on a troubling truth—radical elements within Bangladesh continue to suppress religious minorities through fear and violence. Extremism is on the rise, and radicalized factions within the country have gained influence, undermining the democratic values that should be upheld. In a democracy, every citizen, regardless of religion or ethnicity, must have the right to live without fear of persecution. However, when democracy is absent or compromised, radical ideologies take root, leading to intolerance and oppression, Saddi emphasized.

The reality of religious persecution in Bangladesh is evident in the disturbing pattern of election-related violence. During election cycles, religious minorities are often the first to suffer from brutal attacks, political intimidation, and targeted killings. Recent cases of election-related terror have further highlighted the vulnerability of these communities. Many fear that more brutality will occur as the country looks forward to a democratic transition through the upcoming general election. The question remains whether the interim government will be able to combat extremism and make commendable progress in fostering religious inclusivity.

Zahid F. Sarder Saddi, a prominent exiled Bangladeshi politician, humanitarian, and advocate for Bangladesh and its people, now living in the United States, has long raised his voice against the systematic oppression of minorities in his homeland. He has consistently spoken out against the brutalization of religious minorities, particularly during politically turbulent times. Saddi has previously condemned the autocratic regime of Sheikh Hasina’s ruling party, the Awami League, for its involvement in attacks on minority communities, stating that these actions are part of a broader plan to eradicate religious diversity from the country.

“Minorities in Bangladesh should be celebrating religious events, but instead, they are living in fear,” Saddi once stated, expressing his deep concern over the escalating violence against religious groups. These mob attacks, he argues, are designed to instill fear and force minorities to flee the country, further eroding Bangladesh’s multicultural fabric. “The fear is there,” he said, noting that the country is at risk of slipping toward extremism. “What is unfolding in Bangladesh mirrors a broader wave of fundamentalism that has already taken hold across the region. According to Zahid F. Sarder Saddi, both smaller extremist groups intent on dismantling the system and more established Islamist parties working within the democratic framework appear to be converging on a shared objective: the creation of a more extreme, conservative Bangladesh.”

Gabbard’s statement also addresses the broader issue of rising Islamic extremism, radicalization, and the resurgence of Caliphate ideologies. When radical groups dictate political discourse and suppress moderate voices, the result is a fragmented society where religious and cultural harmony is at constant risk. The marginalization of minorities in Bangladesh is not merely a domestic issue; it is a growing regional concern with implications for stability in the Indo-Pacific.

It is time for the international community, including global human rights organizations and democratic nations, to take a firm stance against the ongoing persecution in Bangladesh. The U.S. and its allies must exert diplomatic pressure to ensure that Bangladesh upholds the rights of all its citizens, regardless of their religious beliefs. Furthermore, democratic forces within Bangladesh must come together to restore the country’s founding principles of secularism, tolerance, and human dignity.

“As we witness an era of increasing religious persecution worldwide, voices like Tulsi Gabbard’s serve as a reminder that silence is not an option. The systematic targeting of religious minorities in Bangladesh is a grave human rights violation that demands immediate action. If the world fails to recognize and address this crisis, the principles of democracy and religious freedom will continue to erode, leaving millions vulnerable to violence and displacement,” says Saddi.

“U.S. intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard’s bold statement should not be dismissed—it is a call to action. Now, more than ever, we must stand in solidarity with religious minorities in Bangladesh and work toward a future where no one is persecuted for their faith. Only through collective effort can we ensure the restoration of democracy, human rights, and religious freedom in Bangladesh. The time for statements is over—now is the time for concrete action. The world must wake up to this crisis before it is too late,” Saddi concluded.

- Recently received the first deepwater port license from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration to own, construct and operate an export liquefied natural gas project in the United States
- Department of Energy approved a liquefied natural gas export permit extension, granting additional time to commence exports from offshore Louisiana.
HOUSTON, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Delfin Midstream Inc. (“Delfin”) today provided an update on key permits and approvals for its leading US based energy infrastructure project under development in Louisiana and offshore in the Gulf.

On March 21, 2025, Delfin LNG LLC (“Delfin LNG”), a subsidiary of Delfin, received a license from the Maritime Administration (“MARAD”) authorizing Delfin LNG to own, construct, operate, and eventually decommission a deepwater port, to export Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) from the United States.

The license was issued pursuant to the Deepwater Port Act of 1974 and MARAD’s 2017 Record of Decision and is in accordance with President Trump’s Executive Order titled, “Unleashing American Energy,” signed January 20, 2025. The Delfin deepwater port project will be the first offshore LNG export project in the United States.

On March 10, 2025, the Department of Energy approved an LNG export permit extension for Delfin LNG, granting additional time to commence exports from the project. The permit extension, which had been delayed under the prior administration, was announced by Secretary Wright in his opening remarks at CERAWeek in Houston.

Dudley Poston, Delfin CEO, said: “The level of support by the President of the United States and his administration for the development of critical energy infrastructure has been truly remarkable. The Delfin floating LNG project has the potential to be not just the first LNG export deepwater port facility in the United States, but a significant economic contributor and job creator over the long-term. We would like to express our deep appreciation for the significant work undertaken by Sean Duffy, U.S. Secretary of Transportation, and Chris Wright, U.S. Secretary of Energy.”

Added Poston, “We also share our appreciation for the governors of Louisiana and Texas for their significant involvement and contributions to this process. With clear vision and action, this administration has enabled a project that can significantly realign energy economics for the long-term benefit of the people of the United States.”

Delfin is a leader in LNG export infrastructure utilizing low-cost floating LNG technology. The brownfield deepwater port that Delfin is developing requires minimal additional infrastructure investment to support up to three floating LNG vessels producing up to 13 million tonnes of LNG annually.

MIL-OSI: Congressman Honors Youth-Led Democratic Movement in Bangladesh and Meets with Activist Zahid F. Sarder Saddi to Discuss U.S. Support for Democratic Transition

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

Washington, DC, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ❝ Congressman Honors Youth-Led Democratic Movement in Bangladesh and Meets with Zahid F. Sarder Saddi to Discuss U.S. Support for Democratic Transition❞

In a significant move recognizing the ongoing democratic movements in Bangladesh, U.S. Congressman Darren Soto met with Bangladeshi activist and community leader Zahid F Sarder Saddi shortly after taking his oath of office for his fifth term in the House of Representatives. Saddi commended Congressman Soto for his steadfast leadership and consistent support of the Bangladeshi-American community in Florida’s 9th District.

Rep. Soto reciprocated the appreciation, commending Saddi for his dedicated advocacy and instrumental role in conveying the interests and needs of the Bangladeshi people both overseas and within the United States. The Congressman acknowledged the critical influence of Bangladesh’s ‘Gen Z revolution’ in challenging Sheikh Hasina’s authoritarian regime and underscored the vital role democracy plays in shaping the future of the nation.

During a detailed discussion in his Congressional office with Saddi, Rep. Soto extended an invitation to the student leaders of the July-August movement in Bangladesh. These student leaders played a crucial role in the political upheaval that led to the fall of the Hasina government and her subsequent flight to India. As a gesture of global solidarity and recognition, Rep. Soto is extending an invitation to these young leaders to visit the U.S. Congress, where they will receive a Congressional Proclamation acknowledging their contributions to democracy.

Bangladeshi Americans have expressed profound gratitude to Congressman Soto for his steadfast commitment to empowering a peaceful and democratic future for Bangladesh. Over the past decade, Rep. Soto has built a strong reputation for advocating on behalf of Bangladesh, and his support during this transitional period is seen as vital in reinstating democratic governance in the country.

In a tweet following the meeting, Congressman Soto conveyed his appreciation to Zahid F Sarder Saddi for the visit and for providing crucial updates on the democratic transition in Bangladesh. He reiterated America’s support for the restoration of democracy in the South Asian nation, emphasizing the importance of upholding human rights and governance principles.

For nearly three decades, Zahid F Sarder Saddi has been a dedicated advocate for the Bangladeshi community, both in the United States and abroad. As a respected foreign affairs advisor, he has worked tirelessly to ensure that the voices of Bangladeshi-Americans and those living in Bangladesh are heard in the halls of U.S. Congress. Having previously served as the Foreign Advisor to former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia, Saddi continues to provide critical geopolitical insights on the Indo-Pacific region. His collaboration with U.S. policymakers remains instrumental in promoting global democracy and human rights.

The invitation extended by Congressman Darren Soto marks a historic moment in recognizing the struggles of the Bangladeshi people and their fight for democratic restoration. As the world watches, the efforts of student leaders and advocates like Saddi underscore the ongoing movement toward greater political freedom and justice in Bangladesh.

MIL-OSI: Locus Chain Launches Public Testnet in April – Smart Contract and NFT Functions Under Full Review
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

– Open testnet available to all developers starting April 4, focusing on technical validation and usability

– Smart contract development IDE and NFT minting environment provided, with real-use scenarios fully applied

– Testnet mirrors the structure and performance of the mainnet, enabling debugging and stability testing ahead of a mainnet update

GYEONGGI-DO, South Korea, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Locus Chain Launches Public Testnet on April 4 – Usability-Centered Environment for Real-World Testing.

Locus Chain, a next-generation blockchain project striving to reach the pinnacle of blockchain technology, is launching a fully open, always-accessible public testnet starting April 4^th. Far beyond a simple demonstration, this testnet marks the beginning of a comprehensive validation process, designed to expand the ecosystem through hands-on participation from developers and showcase the full capabilities of Locus Chain’s core technology step by step.

The newly released testnet is architecturally identical to the mainnet, offering the same structure and real-time performance levels. It enables in-depth evaluation of functional completeness, network stability, and scalability under realistic conditions. The Locus Chain development team will use data gathered during the testnet phase to drive continuous improvements and debugging. Once individual features are confirmed to be technically stable, they will be gradually rolled out to the mainnet. More than just a technical preview, the public testnet serves as a symbolic milestone for Locus Chain—a bold open experiment that challenges the limits of public blockchain technology and marks the starting point for its future ecosystem.

A Locus Chain representative stated, “The testnet is more than a simple functionality check—it’s a proving ground for a technological breakthrough that pushes the boundaries of public blockchain performance. By offering an open, accessible environment, we also aim to grow and strengthen our global developer ecosystem.”

One of the key goals of this testnet is to verify Locus Chain’s unmatched scalability. In a real-world performance test conducted last December, the platform achieved an impressive 1,400 transactions per second (TPS). It is expected to maintain this performance even as the transaction volume increases to over 4,000 TPS—demonstrating one of the highest scalability levels in the industry without compromising speed or efficiency. The testnet also features the completed trial of Cubic Sharding, Locus Chain’s proprietary next-generation parallel processing technology. Unique to the platform, this innovation is expected to deliver transaction speeds in the hundreds of thousands TPS once fully implemented in real-world conditions—setting a new benchmark for blockchain performance and scalability.

Decentralization Meets High Performance — A Technological Breakthrough Achieved Only by Locus Chain

Locus Chain has achieved a breakthrough long considered unattainable in the blockchain industry: the true coexistence of full decentralization and high performance. While many of today’s fastest blockchain platforms reach high TPS (transactions per second) by compromising on decentralization—centralizing nodes, relying on high-end hardware, or weakening security—Locus Chain has taken an entirely different path. It delivers industry-leading speed and scalability without sacrificing decentralization or structural integrity, setting a new technological benchmark.

What sets Locus Chain apart is its ability to maintain real-time, high-throughput performance while preserving the openness and purity of a truly public blockchain. This rare combination has become one of Locus Chain’s defining competitive advantages. It positions the platform not just as a faster blockchain, but as the only high-performance public infrastructure ready for real-world applications in next-generation industries like AI, real-time content delivery, and large-scale user platforms.

Further reinforcing its accessibility, Locus Chain is built on an ultra-lightweight node architecture that requires minimal system resources—allowing stable operation even on low-spec devices or in limited infrastructure environments. This stands in stark contrast to traditional high-performance blockchains that depend on expensive servers or specialized hardware to function. With this approach, Locus Chain isn’t just raising the bar—it’s redefining what a high-performance public blockchain can be: decentralized, scalable, low-cost, and truly open to all.

Developer-Centric Testnet: Hands-On Scalability with VME and Universal Asset Functionality

In this testnet, users will have the opportunity to experience VME (Virtual Machine Engine)—Locus Chain’s proprietary smart contract execution environment—firsthand. Using custom-built developer tools, smart contracts written in Solidity can be seamlessly deployed and executed on Locus Chain, following the same familiar workflows used in other major blockchain platforms, but under a variety of testing conditions. The testnet offers two distinct channels: the PREVM channel, optimized for rapid feedback and iteration, and the VME channel, designed to evaluate network load handling and overall system stability. With these two channels offering entirely different use cases, developers can test a wide range of scenarios with precision. This setup allows even everyday developers to work in an environment that closely mirrors the mainnet—providing a realistic and hands-on experience of Locus Chain’s flexibility, performance, and real-world usability.

Another standout feature of the testnet is Locus Chain’s exclusive Universal Asset Support. This functionality goes far beyond standard NFT capabilities. Users can mint NFTs, create and trade tokens, and manage digital assets through a dedicated interface—all without needing additional tools. The system also supports the creation of data-driven, utility-rich tokens, laying the foundation for cross-industry applications and future expansion.

This testnet represents more than a routine technical evaluation—it is a comprehensive gateway into the full scope of the Locus Chain ecosystem. Developers can explore everything from conventional blockchain features, smart contracts, NFTs, digital asset issuance and trading—to advanced innovations unique to Locus Chain: real-time interactions, support for large-scale user environments, cost-efficient scalability, and readiness for AI integration.

Ultimately, this testnet marks the true starting point for realizing Locus Chain’s long-term vision. It’s the only platform that not only performs existing blockchain tasks better—but also enables bold experimentation in areas that were previously out of reach.

Real-Time Monitoring and AI Integration — Ushering in the Next Generation of Blockchain Ecosystems

Locus Chain’s latest testnet marks a major step forward not only in performance validation but also in transaction transparency and monitoring. With the newly enhanced Locus Chain Explorer, users and developers can track smart contract execution, NFT and token creation, asset transfers, and timestamped transaction flows in real time. This level of visibility is essential for ensuring trust and transparency throughout the development lifecycle.

More importantly, this testnet signals Locus Chain’s move toward integration with next-generation technologies, particularly AI. Traditional blockchains have long struggled with the processing speed and flexibility required for real-time AI interactions, high-frequency transactions, and large-scale user behavior analysis. Locus Chain’s uniquely high-performance, fully decentralized architecture breaks through these barriers—unlocking use cases that were previously out of reach for public blockchain infrastructure. This forward-looking structure sets the stage for a new kind of ecosystem—one capable of connecting diverse industries such as gaming, the metaverse, digital asset distribution, and knowledge-based content. All of it runs on the secure, scalable foundation that only Locus Chain can provide.

A Locus Chain representative noted, “There are very few public blockchains in the world that can achieve thousands of TPS while remaining fully decentralized. This testnet is not just a technical showcase—it’s a meaningful milestone for developers and ecosystem participants to directly engage with Locus Chain’s advanced technology and long-term vision.”

—————— Appendix ———————-
- Universal Object Support Functionality
  A common and widely adopted use case for blockchain smart contracts is the creation and management of NFTs. NFTs are distinct, identifiable objects—each one a unique asset tied to a specific account via an ID. While these are often implemented through smart contracts, the actual storage and handling of these assets can be decoupled from the contract logic. Locus Chain’s Universal Asset Support feature takes this concept further by embedding asset object functionality directly into the protocol. This allows for the high-speed, large-scale processing of NFTs and other object-based assets without relying entirely on smart contracts, significantly improving efficiency and performance.
- Locus Chain is a next-generation blockchain platform designed to solve the long-standing trilemma of decentralization, scalability, and security. With its proprietary Dynamic Sharding technology, Locus Chain ensures stable network performance under any conditions. Its Verifiable Pruning system minimizes node size, enabling even low-spec devices such as mini PCs or home routers to run full nodes and participate in the network. This low entry barrier allows anyone to operate a node at minimal cost, ensuring a highly efficient and stable infrastructure. As a result, Locus Chain is ideally suited for large-scale projects where high scalability and network reliability are essential.
- Locus Chain’s Without Server technology is a groundbreaking innovation that replaces centralized game servers with blockchain infrastructure. It enables online games to remain playable permanently, as long as players are active—even without a centralized game operator.
  In 2023, this serverless architecture was successfully integrated into CRETA, a Web3 metaverse platform, and Locus Chain plans to expand its application to a broad range of Without Server DApps in the near future.
Beyond gaming and metaverse applications, Locus Chain’s architecture also supports serverless operation for services like video conferencing and streaming—unlocking radical cost savings and ushering in a new paradigm for decentralized, infrastructure-free digital services.

MIL-OSI: Montauk Renewables, Inc. and American Environmental Landfill, Inc. Break Ground on Tulsa RNG Project

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

PITTSBURGH, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Montauk Renewables, Inc. (“Montauk” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: MNTK) announces that its subsidiary, Tulsa LFG, LLC broke ground on a Renewable Natural Gas (“RNG”) landfill gas project at the American Environmental Landfill, Inc. (“AEL”) in Tulsa, Oklahoma in a ceremony on Wednesday, April 9, 2025 (the “Project”).

MIL-OSI: Mode launches AI-native perpetuals DEX powered by Orderly

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

NEW YORK, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mode, an AI-focused Ethereum Layer 2 focused on user growth and composability, has launched Mode Trade, its native perpetuals DEX, powered by Orderly’s unified trading infrastructure.

This marks the first time a Layer 2 chain has vertically integrated and launched a perpetuals exchange directly on its platform, combining Mode’s seamless user experience with Orderly’s deep liquidity and backend systems.

“Layer 2 chains are increasingly taking a more active role in building their products, and Mode is a strong example of that shift,” said Arjun Aurora, Chief Operating Officer of Orderly Network.

“By building Mode Trade on top of Orderly’s infrastructure, they were able to launch quickly while leveraging deep, cross-chain liquidity from day one. It’s a smart strategy for emerging chains to drive adoption, demonstrate value, and set a clear direction for their ecosystem,” Aurora further explained.

“In today’s highly volatile market, retail traders often lack access to the predictive analytics and advanced tools that institutional traders rely on. Mode Trade closes this gap by integrating predictive AI directly on the platform, giving everyday traders the ability to stay competitive.

We built Mode Trade to help retail traders navigate market uncertainty with smarter insights and accessible education, allowing them to make informed decisions through simple, text-based commands,” said Nikita Monastyrskiy, Growth Lead at Mode.

Mode Trade combines the AI Terminal for executing trades and managing positions with simple text commands, and Synth, a decentralized forecasting layer built on Bittensor that provides predictive market insights. This AI-powered integration enables users to make smarter decisions and gain a competitive edge in volatile markets.

Mode Trade offers access to over 100 trading pairs with up to 50x leverage, supported by deep liquidity and a synthetic proactive market-making engine (sPMM) from Orderly.

Mode Trade is live now for early users, with exclusive AI features available to Giga stakers holding 400,000 veMODE or more. A limited trader whitelist will roll out in the coming weeks.
