Art of Franchising Launches Pro-Bono and Profit-Share Program to Strengthen Franchise Sector in the Philippines
Singapore, Singapore, Singapore, 8th May 2025 – Art of Franchising (AoF), the specialist franchising consultancy division of Eccelerate PTE LTD, today announced the launch of a new partnership profit-share model and pro-bono initiative aimed at supporting the continued growth and long-term success of the franchising industry in the Philippines.

Founded in 2021 by Aaron Yeo (Chief Strategy Officer), Wayne Yia (Chief Financial Officer), and Edmund Chan (Chief Investment Officer), Eccelerate PTE LTD established the Art-of-Franchising (AoF) brand in 2024 to focus exclusively on franchising consultancy. With franchising contributing 7.8% to the Philippines’ GDP and employing approximately two million people (International Trade Administration, 2022), the sector remains a dynamic and vital component of the country’s economy.
“We recognize the incredible entrepreneurial spirit within the Philippines,” said Aaron Yeo, Chief Strategy Officer at AoF. “However, like all fast-growing sectors, there are challenges that come with rapid expansion. Our goal is to provide entrepreneurs with the right foundation to ensure they are positioned for sustainable, long-term success.”
To address common hurdles faced by emerging franchisors, AoF is introducing a partnership-based model that aligns the firm’s success with that of its clients. Rather than charging heavy upfront consultancy fees, AoF invests its expertise and resources alongside franchise owners, tying their success directly to client outcomes. Select businesses will also benefit from pro-bono services, offering additional support to promising enterprises that demonstrate exceptional potential.
“By structuring our relationships around mutual success, we ensure that our goals are fully aligned with our clients,” said Wayne Yia, Chief Financial Officer at AoF. “If the franchise succeeds, we all succeed. This approach fosters transparency, quality, and lasting partnerships — while also reducing initial costs for entrepreneurs.”
According to industry studies, newer franchise systems worldwide often face higher closure risks, largely due to issues such as business model, unit economics, and scalability. AoF’s strategy is designed to address these areas by focusing on robust business foundations, careful system development, and strategic growth planning.
“Our method prioritizes building businesses that are profitable, scalable, and ready for franchise expansion,” said Edmund Chan, Chief Investment Officer at AoF. “We are committed to tailoring our support specifically for the Philippine market, respecting its unique dynamics and vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem.”
Backed by their industry partners, AoF has supported over 1,000 franchises in Singapore & Asia, many of which have grown into multinational corporations or public companies. Their services include online franchise courses, a full franchise development program, business model redesign, strategic investor and valuation preparation — all crafted to foster growth and stability.
In addition to its standard offerings, AoF will offer pro-bono consultancy to a select group of high-potential businesses each year, helping more entrepreneurs access expert support without financial barriers.
“The Philippines has an exciting future ahead in franchising,” added Edmund Chan. “Our goal is to help entrepreneurs maximize their opportunities through structured support, proven systems, and dedicated partnership. Even for businesses not yet ready for franchising, we offer pathways to growth through connections to investors and additional business development support.”

D’CENT Wallet Launches Third ‘Tap That Drop’ Campaign with Taiko — Evolving Beyond a Wallet Into a Web3 Platform

D’CENT Wallet has announced the launch of the third campaign in its seasonal Web3 initiative, Tap That Drop, featuring Taiko, an Ethereum Layer 2 protocol known for its based sequencing approach. The campaign began on May 27 and has already seen participation from tens of thousands of users across its first two rounds.
Developed by Korean blockchain security company IoTrust, D’CENT is widely recognized as a pioneer in the hardware wallet space. It introduced biometric authentication to the market in 2018 and has since expanded its global user base to more than 200 countries. The wallet supports more than 85 blockchain networks and 4,500 tokens. Now, D’CENT is evolving beyond secure storage, aiming to become a full-featured and intuitive Web3 platform that integrates portfolio tools, ecosystem discovery, and reward-based participation.
To support this shift, D’CENT launched Tap That Drop — the first seasonal quest campaign of its kind embedded in a wallet. Over several months, twelve blockchain projects will each run a two-week campaign featuring interactive quests, project-specific NFTs, and token-based rewards. Users who collect all twelve NFTs will qualify for a Mega Airdrop after season 1 ends. The 2024 edition received strong engagement from the Web3 community, with many participants highlighting the value of the rewards.The campaign has also served as a way for participating projects to introduce their ecosystems to new users and drive deeper interaction.
The format has already proven effective. The first round with Skate attracted more than 20,000 participants, with rewards fully claimed within few hours of launch. The second round with MAP Protocol saw even faster response, with all rewards claimed in less than two hours. Across both campaigns, biometric hardware wallet users received higher-tier rewards, and completing a quest unlocked access to wallet discounts — creating additional value for both new and existing users.

The third partner in the campaign is Taiko, an Ethereum-equivalent Layer 2 rollup focused on scalability without compromising decentralization. The protocol uses based sequencing for community-centric block production. Since its mainnet launch, where Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed the first block, Taiko has been listed on Binance Alpha as one of the platform’s top ten traded tokens and has kicked off Trailblazers Season 5 with 10,000 TAIKO in liquidity rewards.
“We believe wallets are no longer just for holding crypto. They’re evolving into platforms for exploration and rewards,” said Sangsu Baek, CEO of IoTrust. “Through Tap That Drop and upcoming features like real-time portfolio tools, we’re building a new kind of user experience, where security and participation go hand in hand. That’s what sets D’CENT apart from other wallets in the space.”
The Taiko campaign within Tap That Drop begins on June 25 in the D’CENT app. Participants can complete quests, mint a Taiko-themed NFT from the Star Collection, and claim token-based rewards. Hardware wallet users will continue to receive higher reward tiers and access to exclusive discounts.

About D’CENT Wallet
D’CENT isn’t just a wallet—it’s where security meets opportunity.
Developed by IoTrust, D’CENT is the world’s first biometric hardware wallet, built with SE (Secure Element) & TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) technology to ensure bank-grade security for your digital assets.
But D’CENT goes beyond security. Unlike traditional wallets that simply store crypto, D’CENT empowers users to do more—unlocking rewards, accessing exclusive benefits, and seamlessly interacting with Web3 services. As the only wallet offering both hardware and software solutions, D’CENT provides the flexibility to secure, earn, and engage, all in one place.

Quantum Projects Group Inc Announces Groundbreaking Augmented Reality Art Experience
United States, 30th Jun 2025 – Quantum Projects Group, Inc., a Louisiana-based leader in innovation and immersive technology, is proud to announce the development of a revolutionary Augmented Reality (AR) application designed to transform the way people experience fine art. The new platform will enable users to engage with iconic artworks on a deeper, more personal level through a richly layered, immersive journey guided by state-of-the-art AR and AI technologies.

Building on its strong foundation in creating immersive educational and historical experiences, Quantum Projects Group is now applying its expertise to the world of fine art. This new initiative marks a bold expansion into cultural enrichment, aiming to make art appreciation more engaging, informative, and accessible than ever before.
The AR application will offer users what the company describes as a “stroke-level experience”— starting from a virtual recreation of the artist’s studio, where users can observe the techniques, tools, and inspirations that led to the creation of masterpieces. From there, users will be virtually transported to the artist’s hometown or city, exploring how local culture, environment, and history influenced the work.
The journey continues in an immersive “virtual museum,” where users will interact with a fully integrated, AI-powered art historian. This guide will provide in-depth commentary on artistic movements such as the Italian Renaissance or the Dutch Golden Age, contextualizing the art within the broader social, political, and cultural forces of its time.
“Our goal with this application is to break down the traditional barriers to art appreciation,” said Marjorie Munro, CEO of Quantum Projects Group, Inc. “By leveraging the immersive capabilities of Augmented Reality, we can foster a deeper, more meaningful connection with these timeless works of art. It’s not just about viewing a painting — it’s about understanding its creation, its context, and its legacy.”
The Power of Augmented Reality in Art
Augmented Reality superimposes computer-generated imagery and information onto the real world, enriching the user’s environment with interactive and dynamic elements. In the realm of art, AR offers a wealth of opportunities:
- Enhanced Engagement: Static artworks are brought to life with animation, 3D layers, and interactive features.
- Global Accessibility: Users around the world can explore world-class art from their homes, eliminating the need for physical museum visits.
- Integrated Education: Historical and artistic context is woven directly into the experience, providing real-time learning as users explore.
- New Creative Frontiers: AR is emerging as a powerful new medium for digital and interactive art forms.
Quantum Projects Group’s new platform encapsulates these possibilities, combining immersive visual storytelling with AI-powered insights to redefine how users connect with art across time and culture.
This project underscores Quantum Projects Group’s ongoing mission to push the boundaries of immersive technology while making meaningful contributions to culture and education. As the application continues development, art lovers, educators, and technologists alike can look forward to a groundbreaking new way to experience the world’s artistic treasures.
