Press Release
BitMax.io Announced the Listing of Seascape Network (CWS) to Support DeFi Gaming
BitMax.io (BTMX.com), an industry-leading digital asset trading platform built by Wall Street quant trading veterans, has announced the listing of Router Protocol (ROUTE) under the trading pair of ROUTE/USDT on Jan 19 at 9:00 a.m. EST.
Router Protocol aims to build an infrastructure layer to aggregate liquidity across multiple chains. As opposed to Moonbeam and EdgeWare, smart contract platforms built on Polkadot, Router Protocol is dedicated to expanding the ecosystem to connect non-Polka blockchains like Matic, Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. Its ROUTE token can be used as gas fees within the ecosystem and rewards for staking their liquidity provider (LP) tokens.
Router Protocol has built an Ethereum Layer 2 AMM on Matic Network that supports gasless transactions. The team is also working on cross-chain frictionless liquidity migration. Soon, the project will be expanded to other layer 1 and layer 2 blockchains. Leveraging Parity Substrate, a blockchain infrastructure that supports EVM, Router Protocol is intended to operate seamlessly on Polkadot or Kusama in the near future.
The Router Protocol team brings together veterans from traditional finance, blockchain, and energy trading industries with core members from top institutions, including Moody, Infosys, and Schlumberger. As a group of crypto enthusiasts since 2014, the team has successfully collaborated on developing the world’s first stablecoin DEX based on 0x Protocol. Router Protocol is on track to launch a multichain farming on Ethereum, Matic, BSC, and Xdai soon.

Michael Aronovici explains why the weeks between year-end results and January openings often set the direction a restaurant brand takes for the rest of the year.
The Season That Decides the Year
Quebec, Canada, Oct 10, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Most restaurant brands treat the holiday season as a sales push and January as a slow month to get through. Michael Aronovici, President and sole owner of Interaction Restaurants Group, sees it differently.
“The real work happens after the holiday rush ends,” Aronovici said. “That’s when a brand can finally see its full-year numbers clearly, and that’s when the decisions that matter get made.”
Aronovici has spent more than 30 years building and advising restaurant, retail and franchise businesses, including the development of Pizza Hut in Quebec, the acquisition and repositioning of the Cultures restaurant chain, and the license to develop and operate Starbucks Coffee in Eastern Canada. Over the past decade, he has provided strategic consulting services to leading U.S. and Canadian restaurant and investment groups.
What the Numbers From Q4 Actually Tell You
Fourth-quarter results carry more weight than any other quarter, according to Aronovici, because they combine the holiday lift with the full-year baseline.
“A strong December can hide a weak October,” he said. “You need both numbers side by side before you decide anything about the year ahead.”
He said brands that wait until spring to review their full financial picture lose time they can’t get back. Franchisees, in particular, need clarity early, since many make staffing and inventory commitments for the new year in January.
Menu and Margin Decisions Made Early
Menu repositioning and margin improvement are two areas where Aronovici has worked directly with operators, and he said both are easier to execute before the year gets underway than mid-year.
“Changing a menu in June means fighting against momentum that’s already built,” he said. “Changing it in January means you’re working with a clean slate.”
Margin pressure tends to show up clearly in year-end numbers, Aronovici said, whether from food cost increases, labor, or supply chain issues. He said brands that address margin questions early in the year have more room to adjust before the next holiday season arrives.
Why Expansion Calls Get Made Now
Decisions about opening new locations, entering new markets, or pulling back on growth are also concentrated in this window, according to Aronovici. Financing conversations, lease negotiations and development agreements often start in the first quarter because landlords and lenders are working on their own calendar-year cycles.
“If you want to open in the fall, you need to be deciding in January,” he said. “Expansion timelines in this industry are longer than people expect.”
Aronovici’s own history includes periods of expansion and periods of consolidation across several brands, from building out Pizza Hut locations across Quebec to introducing P.F. Chang’s to the Canadian market with a measured rollout rather than a rapid one. He said the pace of growth should follow what the numbers and the market will support, not a calendar target set the year before.
Market Assessments Before Committing
Aronovici’s consulting work has also included market assessments for groups considering new territories or new formats. He said the start of the year is when operators are most open to an honest look at where a brand actually stands, before momentum from a new initiative makes that harder to see clearly.
“Once you’re three months into a new rollout, it’s hard to step back and ask if it was the right call,” he said. “In January, that question is still easy to ask.”
He said the brands that do best are the ones willing to ask it anyway, even when the answer means slowing down rather than speeding up.

Hypotency, a licensed adult-use cannabis dispensary at 880 Grand Blvd in Deer Park, opens this fall with 30+ ordering kiosks, 100+ parking spaces and an open-floor retail design.
Deer Park, Long Island, New York, United States, 10th Oct 2026 — Hypotency, a new licensed adult-use cannabis dispensary, will open this fall at 880 Grand Blvd., across from the Deer Park Outlets. It will be the largest dispensary on Long Island, with more than 30 ordering kiosks and over 100 parking spaces.
The store was designed to feel more like a modern boutique than a traditional dispensary. Customers will walk into a glass-walled lounge before entering an open sales floor, where freestanding display islands are organized by category: flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes, concentrates and wellness. A self-order wall with digital menus gives shoppers the option to order on their own.
The owners say the goal was a store with plenty of space, a wide selection, and people who know the products. Rather than working from a script, the team is there to talk: customers can tell staff what they’re looking for and get help finding it, or simply take their time and browse.
Job Opportunities in Deer Park
Hypotency is also building its team ahead of opening, with positions across the store. The owners are looking for people who enjoy working with customers and want to be part of a new business from day one. Open roles are listed on the website, and candidates can apply by emailing contact@hypotency.com.
Join the opening list
Customers can join the Grand Opening VIP List for early access, special offers and opening updates. The final opening date will be shared with the list first.
About Hypotency
Hypotency is a licensed adult-use cannabis dispensary in Deer Park, N.Y. (NYS OCM License OCM-CAURD-24-000150), offering flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes and wellness products. Visit hypotency.com, or follow @hypotencyny on Instagram for videos and updates on the construction of the store as it nears opening.
Renderings of how the store will look
This will be the lounge that clients will be able to visualize when they enter the store. There will be a section for express and pick-up:

This will be the the checkout area, where clients will be able to pay for their products after choosing them previously. There will be some products displayed here too:

Florida Addiction & Recovery Center Releases Dual-Diagnosis Guide for Fort Lauderdale Families
Florida Addiction and Recovery Center has published an expert dual-diagnosis guide helping Fort Lauderdale families identify five critical warning signs of co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Led by Myers Forrest, the center provides 24/7 access to evidence-based clinical care, medically assisted treatment (MAT), and trauma-informed therapies tailored to South Florida residents.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States, 10th Oct 2026 — Unprocessed trauma, anxiety, and depression frequently intersect with substance use, making early identification essential for long-term healing. To empower South Florida residents, Florida Addiction and Recovery Center—a trusted dual-diagnosis treatment facility led by Myers Forrest—has released an educational guide highlighting five critical warning signs that indicate a need for professional integrated care.
Navigating recovery in Broward County presents unique challenges. According to a recent 2026 healthcare survey, over 60% of individuals struggling with substance use disorder also experience an underlying mental health condition, yet many delay seeking help until a severe crisis occurs. Florida Addiction and Recovery Center’s guide emphasizes that proactive intervention during early stages dramatically improves long-term clinical outcomes.
“Addiction is rarely an isolated issue; it is almost always intertwined with emotional trauma, chronic stress, or unaddressed mood disorders,” said Myers Forrest, Founder of Florida Addiction and Recovery Center. “Our goal with this guide is to give Fort Lauderdale families the clarity and confidence they need to recognize when a loved one requires holistic, dual-diagnosis care before reaching a breaking point.”
5 Key Warning Signs of Co-Occurring Disorders:
- Unexplained Emotional & Mood Swings: Extreme shifts between severe anxiety, depressive isolation, and hypervigilance that mirror or amplify substance use patterns.
- Escalating Behavioral & Financial Strain: Unexplained financial distress, missing valuables, or secretive routines around popular local entertainment corridors like Las Olas Boulevard.
- Physical Health & Sleep Declines: Dramatic weight fluctuations, bloodshot eyes, tremors, or severe sleep disturbances without a clear medical cause.
- Withdrawal from Community & Family: Sudden isolation from long-standing support networks in neighborhoods like Victoria Park, Flagler Village, or Rio Vista.
- Relapse Despite Previous Treatment Attempts: Recurring slip-ups caused by unaddressed trauma or emotional triggers rather than a lack of willpower.
To support individuals at every stage of recovery, Florida Addiction and Recovery Center offers a full continuum of care, including Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and specialized EMDR trauma therapy.
The facility operates around the clock, providing confidential consultations, insurance verification, and immediate admissions support for Fort Lauderdale residents.
