Moonstake Now Supports FIO Staking

SINGAPORE, Feb 21, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Moonstake is pleased to announce that our users can now earn interest from staking the FIO token of the FIO Protocol on our Web Wallet! Hold, send, receive, and stake FIO to receive rewards with the best user experience through one single click. After Cosmos, IRISnet, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, Polkadot, Quras, Centrality, Orbs, IOST, TRON, and Shiden, FIO became the 15th staking coin available on Moonstake. Moonstake is now also one of the official Block Producers on FIO.


FIO staking activation is scheduled to take place on 22nd February 2022. Before this activation, each FIO token staked will begin accruing rewards at an early-access rate. Through this partnership, the Moonstake and FIO teams have worked together to bring you FIO staking feature before Staking Activation to start earning the early-access, proportional reward potential on Moonstake Wallet.

After Activation is achieved, and as more tokens are allocated to the Staking Rewards Pool moving forward, rewards accrued per FIO token staked will decrease over time. This means that, after Activation is achieved, those who still stake earlier will accrue greater proportional rewards than those who stake later.

Moonstake started the staking business last year with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, we have developed the most user-friendly Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS/Android) with support for over 2000 cryptocurrencies. After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake's total staking assets have grown rapidly to reach $1.8 Billion, allowing Moonstake to become one of the top 10 staking providers globally. Since March this year, Moonstake has also entered DeFi together with the newly launched DeFi platform, Muse.Finance, who has begun releasing its core DeFi products which are all scheduled to be integrated into Moonstake platform to enable advanced DeFi connectivity for our global users.

Meanwhile, FIO (short for Foundation for Interwallet Operability) was founded in 2020 and aims to enable easier, safer and more joyful crypto transactions on any type of token or coin. The FIO Protocol is designed to ensure the cryptocurrency user experience is uncomplicated and lays the foundation for cryptocurrency mass adoption. Long complex addresses have been replaced with user-customized FIO Crypto Handles such as "user@fio" that enable decentralized sending, receiving and payment requests (invoices, order carts, etc.), as well as, cross-chain end-to-end encrypted metadata (the information for those invoices, order carts, etc.) that can work across all blockchains.

How to stake FIO on Moonstake Wallet

Here's a simple 3-step process to stake FIO with Moonstake Wallet:
- Register your Moonstake Wallet via Web or mobile (iOS/Android)
- Select FIO from the "Wallets" screen and click the "Add Asset" button.
- Access the FIO screen to check your staking information. From the Staking tab, click the "Stake" button, input the amount to stake, and enter your wallet password to complete.

How FIO staking works

Hold FIO, no minimum staking amount.
Agree to lock in and stake FIO

While your FIO tokens are being staked, they remain in your wallet while you earn staking rewards. The Staking method ensures that stakers of FIO Tokens will always earn a positive return - meaning they receive more FIO Tokens back when they unstake than the number they staked.

How to get rewards for FIO staking

Rewards are given in FIO tokens and users will have to claim rewards. Please note that if you unstake your tokens prior to staking activation on 22nd February 2022, you will not receive any rewards.

How FIO unstaking works

If token holders want to send an asset that is currently staked, they will need to unstake it first. Unstaked tokens are locked and are unspendable for a period of 7 days. After that, they can be transferred as normal.

Moonstake is proud to deliver on our promise of bringing great value to users worldwide not only through enabling FIO staking, but also by integrating the feature before FIO staking officially launches on Mainnet, allowing our users to enjoy the greatest amount of earning potential per token staked.

HYPEBEAST LTD. (0150.HK) Ventures Into New Interest Areas Amid Strong Growth Dynamics

HONG KONG, Feb 21, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - The board of directors of Hypebeast Limited (Stock Code: 0150.HK) has announced the Group's unaudited key financial results for the three months ended 31 December 2021 ("FY2022 Q3").

The Group started the Financial Year on a high note and continued momentum in FY2022 Q3 with a strong emphasis on realizing strategic and geographical expansion initiatives to capitalize on new business opportunities. In particular, the Group has executed a multi-layered diversification strategy, including content generation in new interest areas such as art and sports, the continued expansion of advertising capabilities offered by the Group's Media segments, and product expansion on the E-Commerce and Retail segments, all of which have energized existing consumers and paved the way for future business growth.

As the trend towards digital channels continues, the Group has made a corresponding greater shift in marketing and advertising budgets from traditional marketing channels to digital and online channels, and the Group expects to benefit from this dynamic operating environment. The Group's existing strategies and a favorable operating environment will be strong drivers of new user acquisition and revenue growth throughout FY2022 and into the coming financial year.

Synergy Group’s Collaboration with Malaysian State Government Agency To Achieve Green Initiative For an annual reduction of over 600,000 tons of CO2 emissions

HONG KONG, Feb 21, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Synergy Group Holdings International Limited, stock code 1539.HK ("Synergy Group" or "The Group")(1) signed a memorandum of understanding with Lembaga Perumahan dan Hartanah Selangor (LPHS)(2), a Malaysian government agency, and Odesi Ecob Sdn Bhd (ODESI)(3), a property technology company, last week to launch a green composite program in Selangor, Malaysia. The green composite program consists of two parts, the "Light Saving Program", which focuses on lighting energy efficiencies, and "COVID Fighting Program" which focuses on reducing airborne bacteria by air quality treatment and COVID-19 transmission risk. The program is in line with Selangor's initiatives to become a smart and sustainable city and is also compatible with the forthcoming approach to urban planning development in Selangor.

As the core green technology solution provider of the "Light Saving Program", Synergy Group anticipates to install approximately six million LED lights over 6,000 condominiums in Selangor with energy performance contract. Synergy Group's patented LED light has a 10 years lifespan and saves 50% more energy than traditional LED light in the market which will minimize product replacement costs and maximize savings.

"Synergy Group offers the most advanced, durable and sustainable LED lighting solution. For the period agreed, it is estimated that the 'Light Saving Program' will achieve an annual saving of MYR448 million (equivalent to approximately HKD840 million) with approximately 867 million kWh electricity savings. That is equivalent to a reduction of over 600,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year and represents planting over 10 million trees annually for 10 years." The Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Mansfield Wong said.

Synergy Group has further collaborated with iCleanic Limited(4) in the implementation of the "COVID Fighting Program" in the same 6,000 condominiums in Selangor. iCleanic Limited is a Hong Kong-based company that provides sanitization solutions to eliminate the COVID-19 virus. Effectiveness of sanitization solution is tested by international professional organizations such as CMA Testing(5) for airborne bacteria elimination, and by the University of British Columbia for COVID-19 elimination as well. The program focuses on airborne bacteria reduction through air quality treatment and COVID-19 transmission risk in Selangor. Program effectiveness and safety is tested by CMA Testing(5) which is suitable and safe for all ages.

Selangor is visualized as a liveable smart city by 2025 in ASEAN. The Group aims to participate in the green initiatives of Malaysia in promoting green development and building a smarter, greener and safer city in Selangor
