By combining the technology and competitiveness of each blockchain network, the merged entity will become Asia’s largest Web3 ecosystemA joint task force will be launched to establish an integrated foundation and mainnetThe merged blockchain will be compatible with both Ethereum and Cosmos, with the new native coin featuring sustainable tokenomics

SINGAPORE, Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Klaytn Foundation, operator of South Korea’s leading Layer 1 blockchain Klaytn, announced today that its joint network merger proposal with Finschia Foundation, the Abu Dhabi-based foundation that is the independent successor to LINE Blockchain’s mainnet and digital asset operations, has successfully passed voting by the two bodies’ governance members. Accordingly, the two foundations will jointly launch an integrated mainnet to establish Asia’s largest Web3 ecosystem.

The proposal aims to create Asia’s leading blockchain network based on superior blockchain technology, services, and business acumen. The proposal was submitted and voted on by each chain’s governance members, with 95% from Finschia and 90% from Klaytn voting in favour, passing the joint proposal. The merged network will have approximately 420 DApps and more than 45 governance member partners, spurring the popularization of Web3 as Asia’s largest blockchain ecosystem.

Following the passage of the proposal, the two foundations will set up a joint task force to merge the two chains and establish an integrated foundation in Abu Dhabi by the second quarter of this year. To operate the foundation efficiently, the foundation will adopt a single governance system with previous operating teams transferred to an integrated foundation. In addition, Finschia and Klaytn foundations will jointly operate the board with the same number of directors from each foundation.

Leveraging on the technological expertise of both Klaytn and Finschia Foundations, the development plan for the new merged blockchain will include greater decentralization as well as support for both EVM and CosmWasm. KLAY and FNSA, the native coins of the two blockchains, will also be replaced by a new native coin with all-new tokenomics. To increase the transparency of operations, the merged chain will also increase the governance delegation and participation from the community as well. 

Additionally, the foundation plans to work on new business initiatives such as infrastructure development to enhance accessibility for institutional investors, cooperating with diverse partners, and launching native stable coins to drive innovation in Asia’s blockchain industry.

“There was no one blockchain network that represented the Asian market, and the level of community participation had much to be desired,” said Youngsu Ko, Chairman of the Finschia Foundation Council. “We plan to build Asia’s largest blockchain ecosystem with the diverse opinions from our partners and community that we gathered during the merger proposal process.”

“In the process of fine-tuning the merge proposal, we have seen how much positive change can be made through sincere communication with ecosystem participants, including the holder community and governance council members,” said Sam Seo, Representative Director at Klaytn Foundation. “As we emphasized during the proposal process, together we will build Asia’s best blockchain ecosystem that will create greater future value.”

Details on the merge proposal can be found on the Klaytn Foundation governance forum. (https://govforum.klaytn.foundation/t/kgp-25-klaytn-finschia-mainnet-merge/719)

HeyGears Introduces the UltraCraft Reflex RS: Precise and Rapid 3D Printing

Published

on

By

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HeyGears has launched the UltraCraft Reflex RS, a high-performance 3D printer designed for small-batch production, streamlining rapid prototyping processes, and handling daily printing tasks. Built for designers, engineers, and 3D printing enthusiasts, the Reflex RS combines precision, speed, and ease of use to meet the fast-paced needs of today.

High Precision and Injection-molded-like Results

Precision lies at the core of the Reflex RS, driving its design and performance in 3D printing. The C5-grade Z-axis module ensures stable layer thickness, with deviations minimized to ±2 µm, enabling detailed and high-quality prints. Complementing this is the full-field screen calibration, which divides the screen into 60 zones for meticulous calibration. This guarantees consistent light intensity and high printing accuracy across the entire print area, with a tolerance of less than 0.05 mm. Whether working on complex geometries or intricate designs, the Reflex RS ensures excellent results that rival injection-molded parts.

Faster Printing with Enhanced Reliability

The Reflex RS utilizes HeyGears’ Dynamic Motion Algorithm 3.0, enabling a speed increase of up to 33% compared to printing without. This allows users to produce accurate, injection-molded-like prototypes in as little as 2 hours. By adjusting printing speeds based on force sensor data, the Reflex RS ensures a more reliable and consistent printing experience. Each layer is precisely controlled to avoid common issues such as layer misalignment or detachment, allowing for uninterrupted high-speed performance.

User-Friendly Features for Quick and Easy Setup

The Reflex RS is user-friendly, allowing anyone to start printing in just 15 minutes with features like one-click pre-processing, automatic leveling, and force monitoring. Its optional automated resin heating tank and auto-refilling further streamline the process, letting users focus on their projects instead of adjustments.

Versatile and Compact for Various Applications

This time, two new resins were also released: the UltraPrint PAWW10 is a water-washable resin that simplifies post-processing with a 3-minute rinse and 5-minute cure, featuring ultra-low water sorption (2.9%) for durable, deformation-resistant models, ideal for figurines and miniatures. The UltraPrint PAS10, a cost-effective resin, delivers smooth, high-quality prints with ≤0.05 mm precision, perfect for miniatures and prototypes requiring accuracy and fine finishes.

Launch Offer

To mark the launch, HeyGears is offering the Reflex RS at an early bird price of $799, reduced from the regular price of $999, available until October 4, 2024.

Beijing Welcomes Global Tourists with “Great Wall Heroes Global Marketing Campaign”

“Great Wall Heroes 2024—Ensemble of the Great Wall and the Central Axis” Successfully Held at Badaling Great Wall

BEIJING, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — At the foot of the Badaling Great Wall, four travel influencers from the UK, Australia, Canada, and Thailand were honored as “Great Wall Hero: Visit Beijing Tourism Ambassadors” during the global marketing event titled “Great Wall Heroes 2024—Ensemble of the Great Wall and the Central Axis.”

Co-hosted by the Beijing Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau and the Yanqing District People’s Government, the event was supported by Mastercard, an official partner. Attendees included representatives from various cultural and tourism bureaus across Beijing, key scenic areas, inbound tourism enterprises, media, and international guests. The event was broadcast globally via the official “Visit Beijing” overseas social media channels, reaching over 100,000 online viewers through images, videos, and live streams.

Ensemble of World Heritage Sites: Celebrating New Splendor

The Beijing Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau, reflecting Beijing’s status as a national cultural center and hub for international exchanges, leveraged the city’s global reputation as a world-class cultural and tourism destination to emphasize its rich heritage. In July, the successful inclusion of the “Beijing Central Axis: A Building Ensemble Exhibiting the Ideal Order of the Chinese Capital” on the UNESCO World Heritage List brought China’s total number of world heritage sites to 59, making Beijing the city with the most such sites globally, with eight in total.

This year’s “Great Wall Heroes” event, themed “Ensemble of the Great Wall and the Central Axis,” aimed to highlight the vibrancy of Beijing’s heritage through the in-depth experiences of travel influencers exploring iconic landmarks like the Great Wall and the Central Axis.

The event featured an exciting video of the four “Great Wall Heroes” exploring Beijing. Guided by bilingual expert Dou Junjie, the influencers journeyed through iconic sites like the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and Summer Palace, gaining a deeper understanding of Chinese civilization. They cycled along the streets of the Central Axis, embraced Beijing’s modern lifestyle, climbed the Badaling Great Wall, experienced the unique “night tour”, visited the Yanqing Olympic Center to see the reuse of Olympic venues, and savored local delicacies like Beijing Duck and zhajiangmian.

The four “Great Wall Heroes” shared their unique journeys and surprising discoveries with the audience. Sam Tyler from the UK expressed that this experience gave him a new perspective on Beijing. Australian adventurer Siddhartha Hewison (sids.ventures) was thrilled to visit so many world heritage sites in one city, feeling a deep connection with Chinese culture. Canadian Mark Harrison recalled his time living in China, impressed by the active social lives of seniors he encountered while cycling along the Central Axis. Theppitak Sureepong (Pommapartiew) from Thailand, a seasoned traveler, was amazed by the harmonious blend of history and modernity in Beijing’s landmarks.

Enhancing International Services: Sharing the City’s Warmth

Since last year, China has introduced a series of policies to ease the arrival of foreign visitors, reaffirming its commitment to openness. The “Great Wall Heroes” from Australia, Thailand, the UK, and Canada benefited from visa-free entry or the 144-hour transit visa exemption, allowing them to enjoy a smooth travel experience.

This year, Beijing has focused on tackling the challenges encountered by tourists throughout their journey—arrival, transportation, accommodation, sightseeing, shopping, and payment. The city has made significant efforts to elevate service standards and improve the overall travel experience. Upon arriving, the “Great Wall Heroes” were introduced to seamless payment solutions at the international traveler service centers in both airports. Throughout their visit, they experimented with different payment methods, using foreign cards for subway fares, mobile payments for bike rentals and restaurant orders, and cash for cultural souvenirs, excitedly commenting, “It’s incredibly convenient!”

Proactive and Targeted Marketing: Overseas Influencers Share the Story of Beijing

This year, a surge of foreign influencers has shared their experiences in China, amassing over one billion views on foreign-language platforms and igniting a “#Chinatravel” trend. Since 2016, the Beijing Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau has spearheaded the “Great Wall Heroes” global marketing initiative, inviting overseas travel influencers to engage deeply with Beijing’s tourism offerings. In this year’s campaign, the four “Great Wall Heroes,” each with over a million followers—including one from the UK with more than four million—are sharing their genuine experiences in Beijing with audiences worldwide. Ahead of the event, the official “Visit Beijing” overseas social media account launched a user-generated content (UGC) campaign, encouraging fans to submit their favorite photos from Beijing and the stories behind them.

The “Great Wall Heroes” global marketing campaign aligns with Beijing’s strategic vision as a leading global tourism destination. Each year, it selects a core theme and a group of overseas travel influencers to highlight diverse tourism resources. After eight years of dedicated development, the initiative has gained significant brand influence, becoming an essential platform for these influencers to experience and promote the charm of Beijing. This campaign effectively showcases the city’s cultural tourism assets, enhances its image, and tells its story, serving as a key driver for expanding the international tourism market and unlocking potential within the cultural tourism sector.

NEW GOUSA VOTER APP AND POLL SHOWS THAT 3 OUT OF 4 VOTERS SUPPORT TRUMP AND CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS VS HARRIS AND DEMOCRATS

Published

on

By

BOSTON, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A new voter web app launched by Grand Opportunity USA “GOUSA®”, a nonpartisan 501(c)4 nonprofit, the “OppScore® Challenge”, as well as an associated voter poll, shows stunning results: on the issues, more than 3 out of 4 voters support former President Trump and Republicans in Congress vs. Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats.

The OppScore Challenge web app aligns voters to the politicians who most closely align with their values

GOUSA has recently launched the nonpartisan OppScore Challenge web app, which is a combination of a “political personality test” and a matching game which aligns voters to the politicians who most closely align with their values across GOUSA’s 5 categories of Opportunity. The voter survey is free and can be found at: www.challenge.oppscore.org.

The results from the OppScore Challenge to date shows that over 3 out of 4 respondents choose Pro-Opportunity Republicans vs. progressive Democrats once taking the brief survey and revealing where they stand on the top voter issues vs. their candidates for federal office – including the economy, borders, crime, healthcare, foreign policy and more.  It removes the media bias, personality and divisive politics to allow voters to choose politicians based on common sense issues.

Why does such a majority support Trump and the GOP? On issues like the economy, they are promising to lower taxes – including no taxes on tips or overtime – while the Democrats have promised the biggest tax increases in history; they strongly support the majority will of the people who want secure borders, voter ID, school choice and medical freedom, whereas progressive Democrats oppose most voters on all these key issues.  

All members of Congress and their challengers, and Trump/Vance and Harris/Walz, have been objectively scored by GOUSA’s volunteer ratings analysts based on their voting records, public positions, party policies, and more. Their scores are used to reveal their positions to voters and when matching up to politicians using the OppScore voter app. GOUSA is nonpartisan and does not support or oppose political candidates for public office. Find politician OppScore (“Opportunity Score”) ratings at: www.OppScore.org.

The results from the OppScore Challenge are additionally supported by a poll of registered voters in Wisconsin (52% left-leaning independents, the rest a split of Republicans and Democrats), commissioned by GOUSA and conducted by Gravis Marketing, a nonpartisan political research firm.  This poll has demonstrated that voters are in fact strongly united on the key voter issues, with 77% of voter respondents aligning with Trump and Republicans in Congress versus just 23% aligning with Harris and Congressional Democrats. 

Further, a new OppScore “Side by Side – You Decide” ad comparing Trump (Pro-Opportunity rating of +4.2/5) vs. Harris (Anti-Opportunity rating of –3.2/5) on their records and support for opportunity in America, which reached a mixed nonpartisan audience of over 30,000 voters in 9 battleground states on Facebook, shows a massive 92% support for Trump vs only 8% support for Harris among over 2,000 respondents.  It’s important to note that Facebook draws 150% more Democrats than Republicans daily.

This data directly contradicts polls indicating statistically tight or tied presidential and Congressional races with most leading media outlets openly defending and supporting Kamala Harris. This is backed by a report by the Media Research Center showing 95% negative coverage of Trump on ABC, CBS and NBC after the second assassination attempt between September 15-17, while showing 84% positive news coverage of Harris on the same three networks in an August 19th report. Conversely, a strong majority of voters support America-First Republicans vs progressive Democrats on the issues.   

According to John Paul Moran, Founder and CEO of GOUSA, “It’s clear that American voters are strongly united on the issues and support America-First, Pro-Opportunity candidates for public office vs. progressive candidates by a factor of more than 3 to 1. It’s no wonder that VP Harris, who was undemocratically installed as the Democrat Party nominee with zero votes, and other Anti-Opportunity progressives running for office, refuse to discuss or detail their policy positions and instead choose to be vague and hide from the media; they are attempting to pull the biggest con-job in American political history by concealing their true agenda and attempting to get millions of people to vote against themselves and their best self-interests.  Meanwhile, on the contrary former President Trump and America-First candidates are joining countless media interviews and discussing their policies often with the voting public, as every ethical candidate for office who cares about the democratic process should be doing.”

Moran added, “When voters take the OppScore Challenge – or just take a moment review the OppScore ratings of their politicians and simply vote based on the issues – the vast majority will choose to vote for center-right, Pro-America candidates and reject radical progressive candidates. I ask every American who is interested in saving our Constitutional republic to share the Challenge with every voter they know before the election. It’s just what we need to fix politics in our country”.
