ChiaArk: The POS mining machine went live on Jul. 12

Published

on

On Jul. 12, 2021, the ChiaArk POS mining machine went live! Advocating a new carbon neutrality ecology, building a new economic entity subject to continuous cycle and promoting green living and production, ChiaArk consolidates step by step and moves ahead steadily.

What is ChiaArk?

As the ancillary incentive token of global miner, ChiaArk hammers at creating a green incentive layer to assist Chia in achieving the first corporate digital asset that is compliant and environmentally friendly in the world to increase several times of sustainable income for global miners, call on global miners to mine with zero energy consumption and promote the sustainable development of XCH.

XCHA is a negotiable token for incentive and reward of Chia miners and each miner participating in Chia mining has a chance to get it free of charge. When the Chia miner gets a XCH, ChiaArk will freely input 0.1 billion XCHAs and destroy 0.1 billion XCHAs at the same time.

Background of ChiaArk emergence

Since coming out, the digital currency based on Blockchain technology has are booming. Almost all the cryptocurrencies are produced based on various consensus mechanisms, and the mining business has become the cornerstone of the entire cryptocurrency industry.

With the development of the whole industry, the mining has also grown rapidly, while the original mining by the self-purchase mining machine has gradually faded out of the historical stage, and was replaced by the cluster mining mode in the form of mining pool due to the continuous improvement of the mining industry model. In the current stage, the mining model of verifying the transaction by single-purpose ASIC hardware has been criticized, while the Chia model for mining via remaining disk space (mining via hard disk) will become the new time minion.

Although the Chia mining has matured, the current ecological construction is still in the initial stage, and there are still some improvements to be made. Chia Ark is for filling the gap.   

Advantages of ChiaArk

The Chia Ark incentive mechanism is used for real-time measurement of the contribution made by each person via a series of intelligent equipment and algorithms in the Blockchain, and then such measurement is converted into incentive by reasonable token to be sent to the contributor promptly. The final value of these tokens depends on what we do, how much value is created by us and the specific provisions in the agreement. The tool-token is used together with the contract, and its final design goal is to enable the doer to pursue personal interests and coincide with the goal of maximizing the collective value by the enterprise. The design is ingenious and smart.

As the negotiable token for incentive and reward of Chia miners, ChiaArk has the following advantages:

● High precision: The minor actions and behaviors of the user can be measures.

● Transparency: How many tokens each behavior is worth is written in the algorithm which is clearly known by everyone, so the rule is completely transparent.

● Instantaneity: Because the reward is written into the algorithm, as long as this action is implemented, the token can be sent to him within the shortest time.

● Penetrability: The traditional incentive can be issued after layer-by-layer assessment and confirmation, but the token incentive based on the algorithm can be sent to the individual point to point with penetrability.

The sustainable development has always been the baseline and original intention needing to be upheld by human beings for scientific and technological exploration, so is the green mining concept advocated by Chia Ark. The goal of carbon neutrality requires the joint efforts by all mankind, and Chia Ark will make its own contribution to the realization of the this goal.

Cryptorefills launches x402 payments for AI agents, publishes agentic commerce reference

Published

on

USDC payments on Base for AI agents at checkout, alongside open-source documentation of how merchants run agent-driven commerce.

Amsterdam, May 11th 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, 15:00 CEST. Cryptorefills has enabled x402 payments at checkout, allowing AI agents to pay for gift cards, mobile top-ups and eSIMs using USDC on the Base network. The protocol, developed by Coinbase and Cloudflare, lets autonomous software settle stablecoin transactions programmatically. Cryptorefills has also published an open-source operations reference for the merchant operations layer of agentic commerce.

x402 lets a software agent receive an HTTP 402 Payment Required response from a merchant, settle the requested amount in stablecoin, and complete the transaction in a single automated exchange. For Cryptorefills, checkout becomes a programmable endpoint that agents can call directly.

The x402 launch adds a second agent-payment rail to the platform. Cryptorefills released its Model Context Protocol server in October 2025, allowing agents to discover products, build orders, and complete purchases through MCP. x402 addresses a different pattern: the agent calls a Cryptorefills endpoint, receives payment terms, settles in USDC, and completes the request in one round trip. The two rails serve different agent contexts and run in parallel. 

“We shipped x402 and open-sourced our merchant operations work in the same week on purpose. One is a payment rail, while the other is what a merchant needs around it to accept agent traffic. Agentic commerce is happening, and very little about the second part has been written down,” said Massimiliano Silenzi, CEO of Cryptorefills. “We’ve been running stablecoin checkout since 2018, and a lot of what we learned there carries over. We chose to publish what we’ve learned and continue building the rest openly.”

The reference repository, available at github.com/Cryptorefills/agentic-commerce, covers the operations surface that surrounds the protocol stack. Topics include catalogue discovery for agent buyers, settlement reconciliation across chains, quote-and-pricing handling, and delivery confirmations. Documentation is released under CC0; example code is Apache 2.0.

“In the repository we just open-sourced there are nine playbooks, the TypeScript schemas behind them, and five runnable examples. Two of them connect to our live MCP and x402 endpoints, so a developer can clone the repository and watch the agent-merchant exchange execute against production,” said Simonluca Landi, CTO of Cryptorefills.

Cryptorefills serves AI agents through three of the field’s emerging standards: MCP for context, Agent Skills for capability publishing, and x402 for stablecoin settlement. 

About Cryptorefills

Cryptorefills enables people in over 180 countries to spend cryptocurrency on everyday products and services. Categories include gift cards from over 6,600 brands, mobile top-ups across 600 operators, eSIMs, flights across 300 airlines, and stays at over 1 million hotels and properties. The platform supports stablecoin checkout across Base, Ethereum, Tron, Solana, Polygon, and other major networks, alongside Bitcoin and Lightning. It is among the first ecommerce companies to integrate AI-agent payment standards including MCP, Agent Skills, and x402.

Operating publicly since 2018 and headquartered in Amsterdam, Cryptorefills is a member of the Holland Fintech Association and Blockchain Netherlands Foundation.

Emicap, ICEnergy Forge Partnership to Accelerate European Carbon Capture Deployments

Published

on

Collaboration to focus on cost-effective capture and mineralization of biogenic CO₂ in Europe

Korea South, 11th May 2026, SEOUL, South Korea & KORTRIJK, Belgium – South Korea’s ICEnergy and Belgium-based Emicap have partnered to deploy cryogenic carbon capture systems targeting biogenic CO₂ in Europe. The partnership combines ICEnergy’s proprietary capture technology with Emicap’s cryogenic R&D and market access, supported by Emicap’s sister company, LM Engineering, which provides industrial engineering and execution capabilities.

Dr. Sungho Park(icenergy0805@gmail.com), CEO of ICEnergy, stated that he hopes this partnership will enable ICEnergy and Emicap to take a further step toward realizing carbon neutrality in the European market. The collaboration comes at a pivotal moment following the successful demonstration of ICEnergy’s technology. Amid a rapidly expanding European market for biogenic CO₂ solutions, early deployment is critical to secure access to high-quality feedstocks and permanent storage pathways.

ICEnergy recently demonstrated a 10 ton/day cryogenic carbon capture system for both onshore and marine applications. The system converts flue gas CO2 directly into dry ice, avoiding the need for conventional separation and liquefaction steps. A key feature of the electrically driven process is the internal recovery and reuse of cold energy. By recycling this energy, external demand is reduced and consumption is focused on CO₂ conversion, resulting in approximately 30% lower energy use compared to conventional systems, supporting a low lifecycle carbon footprint.

Emicap integrates cryogenic CO2 capture with downstream applications by coupling emission sources from Waste-to-Energy and biomass plants to the carbonation of alkaline industrial residues such as steel slags and fly ash. To ensure seamless site-specific deployment, Emicap applies its cryogenic R&D expertise to tailor ICEnergy’s capture systems for these European industrial plants. This integration enables the permanent storage of CO2 while upgrading captured emissions and industrial residues into supplementary cementitious materials for use in low-carbon construction. By operating across the full value chain, Emicap helps offset capture costs, reducing reliance on institutional subsidies.

The partners are targeting removal of up to 200 kilotons of CO₂ annually by 2035, positioning the collaboration to contribute to industrial-scale, net-negative emissions.
