Press Release
A rising star of DeFi : Whale Network
DeFi( decentralization finance) heat lasted a whole year. DeFi locked value rose from $2 billion in July to $11 billion in October, Throughout July and August, A number of DeFi Token appreciate more than 5-10 times. DeFi projects are popular. And this summer, NFT markets have also seen explosive growth, Trading volume soared 57%, bringing the market value of the industry to about $100 million. Investors involved in involved in the DeFi are profitable. Now, Developers are feverishly designing platforms that use NFT in innovative and surprising ways. A number of project parties and investors have turned their attention to“DeFi+NFT”, and this combination gives NFT more opportunities.
The new agreement in the art market allows you to divide the NFT into thousands and then regroup; the game platform sells land for a decentralized virtual world; and the loan agreement accepts NFT as collateral.
Whale Network NFT casting system
The full name of the NFT is Non-FugibleToken, meaning “non-homogeneous token “, which means that each token of this kind is unique and the price is different. Whale Network is committed to providing users with an open, equitable and interconnected decentralized financial ecosystem. In the project 1.0 plan, the Whale Network provides users with a variety of decentralized financial services from asset exchange to the implementation of automatic trading strategies to the creation of stable coins. Development Whale Network further improve its services by allowing users to mortgage real-world assets as collateral and borrow from them. To achieve this ideal, Whale Network 2.0 program, the NFT casting system, was born.
Physical assets NFT is a very promising industry, because the market space of physical assets themselves is already very large, and through the Whale Network NFT system, the ownership of property is now represented by the ownership of tokens. Transaction costs have now been reduced to the gas fee required to send NFT only to another address.
But the most critical problem of physical assets is the need for credible third parties to issue and accept NFT. To link NFT market trends, Whale Network will create a sound physical chain mortgage ecology through the DAO governance mechanism. Whale Network will start the first step of physical mortgage through cooperation with offline third-party trusteeship institutions and property management institutions to realize the chain mortgage of all things. Through the Whale Network NFT system, the regional restriction of real estate investment will be broken based on block chain technology, and the ownership of assets will be represented by token ownership, which will reduce the transaction cost.
Whale Network, as a pioneer practitioner of NFT chain, is steadily advancing the NFT casting system so that users can easily place real-world assets as collateral, borrow and mine, and lead the exploration of business innovation and application scenarios in the NFT industry. Whale Network believe that NFT will be the next step in DeFi development, more real-world assets on the chain, let more users benefit, is the mission and vision of Whale Network. Future Whale Network will have more development!
At present, the DeFi market is still in the early stage, the opportunity is huge. DeFi sector currently has more than $8.6 billion in locked assets, and the overall encrypted asset market value is about $350 billion, but it is still very small relative to CeFi. The GDP generated by the centralized financial system is very large. For example, the average 4.5% of the $20 trillion GDP, in the United States is generated by the financial industry, the traditional financial markets are millions of dollars, and the assets of the whole encryption field are less than 0.1% of its size.
“The GDP generated by these centralized financial services will be DeFi replaced in the future, including the chain of physical assets brought by NFT, and the opportunities for future development will be enormous, and Whale Network are trying to achieve it .” — said Thomas Kuhn co-founder of Whale Network.
Recently, Whale Network’s Whale Token is about to launch an initial public offering on uniswapex, Whale platform coin （WT） is the Whale network proof token, Has a variety of use scenarios. As the Whale Network delegate share of consensus rights, holders of the WT will directly participate in the consensus proxy vote.

As the platform’s value exchange medium, WT can be used to pay for the consumption of resources within the community, the functions of the exchange platform, the consumption and the circulation of digital assets, and consumption and resource exchange of Whale ecology (e.g. GAS needed to use Whale-NFT). In addition, WT will be rated as a Whale crowdfunding platform, Decision voting, Exchange recommended items on the currency rights and other governance tokens. At the Whale strategic exchange, WT can be used as exchange platform currency, In addition, WT tokens can also be used for decentralized multi-scene market forecasting, Used to build markets, Transactions, Report and liquidation.

The brand holds about 60 percent of the country’s pod system market and around 80 percent of its German shipments are in reusable formats, with four products honoured this year by the German Design Award and the CMF Design Awards
United States, 1st Jun 2026, –
Global vape brand ELFBAR today set out how its German business has shifted toward reusable pod systems over the past several product cycles, following recognition of four of its products by the German Design Award and the International CMF Design Awards in 2026.
The two juries honoured the ELFX Mini, the ELFX 2, the ELFA Master Stein and the ELFA pod system. The group together accounts for a meaningful share of ELFBAR’s German sales. The German Design Award is organised by the German Design Council. The International CMF Design Awards evaluates excellence in colour, material and finish. ELFA Master Stein and ELFX Mini are now available in Germany.
What the data shows
According to internal company data, ELFBAR holds about 60 percent of the German pod system category. That makes it the largest player in the country’s largest vape submarket. Prefilled and refillable products — the ELFX and ELFA pod systems and the ELFLIQ e-liquid range — make up roughly 80 percent of the company’s shipments to Germany. Single-use formats, once a defining part of the category, no longer drive the brand’s German business.
The product mix has shifted gradually rather than overnight. The change reflects deliberate prioritisation inside the company: ELFBAR has steadily reduced the share of single-use formats in its German offer and reinvested behind devices that can be refilled, recharged and serviced over a longer life.
Design language
The shift toward reusable formats has been accompanied by a change in how ELFBAR’s products look and feel. The ELFX and ELFA series — including the four products honoured this year — share a quieter design vocabulary than the bright single-use silhouettes that defined the category’s earliest growth. Colour palettes are subdued. Casings are contoured for one-handed use. Materials are selected for grip and longevity. Branding is small.
“Good design should feel confident, not loud,” said Becky Liu, Head of Industrial Design at ELFBAR. “With ELFX and ELFA, we focus on a clean-cut form, precision, and a calm material touch-feel to bring an elegant and intuitive user experience.”
That visual approach has now been independently endorsed. The German Design Award named the ELFX Mini and the ELFA Master Stein as 2026 winners. The CMF Design Awards recognised both the ELFA Master Stein and the ELFX 2. The combined recognition applies standards normally used to assess mainstream consumer electronics to a category that has historically been judged on different terms.
The reusable approach in practice
ELFBAR describes its reusable design approach in three working principles, drawn from how the products are engineered and sold rather than from marketing language.
The first is that components are designed to be replaceable. Pods, cartridges and, in some models, batteries can be exchanged so that the body of the device stays in use beyond the life of any single consumable.
The second is that everyday friction is engineered out of the product. Visible e-liquid windows, magnetically secured cartridges, structured status displays and adjustable airflow and power settings are integrated to reduce small daily annoyances that often push users back to single-use products.
The third is that safety features are built into the cartridge. The ELFX POD 2.0 generation, which launches with ELFX 2 in Germany in June 2026, adds a child lock, an upgraded airway for richer flavour, and a 5A leakproof system designed to contain e-liquid during everyday use.
The regulatory backdrop
The shift inside ELFBAR’s German business has played out against a broader change in European regulation. National-level restrictions on disposable products, higher expectations around packaging and e-waste, and closer scrutiny of product safety have all put pressure on bright, short-lived devices. Brands able to demonstrate genuine reusability, supported by replaceable components, accessible spare parts and durable design, are increasingly separated by retailers and regulators from those that cannot.
ELFBAR’s German position is being treated inside the company as a test case for how the rest of its European business will be structured. The plan is to introduce the award-winning ELFX and ELFA designs to additional European markets in due course, with ELFX 2 leading the next wave from Germany in June 2026.

Reusable device debuts with the new ELFX POD 2.0 generation, featuring a child lock, an upgraded airway and a 5A leakproof system
United States, 1st Jun 2026, –
Global vape brand ELFBAR will launch the ELFX 2, a reusable pod system already honoured by the International CMF Design Awards, in Germany in June 2026. The device will be the first in the company’s lineup to ship with the new ELFX POD 2.0 cartridge generation, which adds three upgrades focused on safety, flavour delivery and leakage protection.
ELFX 2 will go on sale through ELFBAR’s authorised retail and online channels. Specific on-sale dates, pricing and full channel availability will be confirmed closer to launch. The product is intended for adult smokers and ex-smokers as an alternative to combustible tobacco.
What is new in ELFX POD 2.0
The ELFX POD 2.0 cartridge generation ships standard with ELFX 2 in Germany and changes three things from the prior generation.
The first is a child lock. The dedicated locking mechanism is designed to make unintended activation by a child significantly less likely. The feature reflects ELFBAR’s youth access prevention commitments and aligns with European regulatory expectations around pod-level safety engineering.
The second is an upgraded internal airway. The redesigned airflow path is tuned for more consistent flavour expression across the life of the pod. This is an area where adult users moving from disposable to reusable formats have historically reported the largest gap.
The third is a 5A leakproof system. The architecture is intended to keep e-liquid contained during everyday pocket carry, temperature change and travel. Leakage has been one of the most common complaints across the wider pod system category, and addressing it has been a focus of ELFBAR’s engineering team for the past two product cycles.
The device itself
ELFX 2 is a reusable device with a refillable architecture, a rechargeable battery and replaceable pods. Its physical design earned the CMF Design Award earlier this year, in a cycle that also recognised the ELFA Master Stein. Sister product ELFX Mini, alongside the ELFA Master Stein, won the German Design Award in the same year. ELFA Master Stein and ELFX Mini are now available in Germany.
The casing is contoured for one-handed grip. The colour palette is subdued and the material finish is low-gloss. Pods are held in place magnetically and click into position without alignment effort. The e-liquid window keeps refill timing intuitive. The status display communicates battery and pod state at a glance. Airflow and power settings can be adjusted by the user.
“Good design should feel confident, not loud,” said Becky Liu, Head of Industrial Design at ELFBAR. “With ELFX and ELFA, we focus on a clean-cut form, precision, and a calm material touch-feel to bring an elegant and intuitive user experience.”
Why Germany first
Germany is ELFBAR’s largest European market. The company reports a 60 percent share of the country’s pod system category, based on internal data. Prefilled and refillable products — including the ELFX and ELFA pod systems and the ELFLIQ e-liquid range — make up roughly 80 percent of its German shipments. The country has also been the first market to receive several previous ELFBAR product introductions, and the company’s local distribution footprint is the deepest of any of its European markets.
The June launch puts ELFX 2 into German retail at the same moment that European regulators are tightening rules on disposable formats and packaging waste. Reusable pod systems with replaceable components are increasingly being treated by retailers as a separate product category from disposable vapes, and ELFX 2 is positioned within that distinction.
European rollout to follow
ELFX 2 will be the lead product in ELFBAR’s broader European introduction of the award-winning ELFX and ELFA designs. Subsequent market launches will follow Germany in waves. Dates, pricing and channel partners will be communicated market by market.
