CryptoNote protocol-based e-cash system —MKEcoin (Monke Coin)

Published

on

The successful application of Bitcoin as the first point-to-point transmission electronic cash model. Compared with legal currency, Bitcoin does not have a centralized issuer, but is generated by the calculation of network nodes. Anyone can participate in the manufacture of Bitcoin, circulate around the world, buy and sell on any computer connected to the Internet.

The original Bitcoin was just a few thousand lines of code, and the value was not reflected, but because of its decentralization and encryption, it was essentially an anti-inflation currency, because of its decentralized “mining” incentive mechanism. Coupled with the inherent scarcity of Bitcoin and the 21 million Bitcoin output cap, many people and even institutions regard Bitcoin as hard currency. This means that internal monetary policy is driving the purchasing power of Bitcoin. On the other hand, Bitcoin’s biggest innovation is the application of blockchain technology, each block representing transactions in a Bitcoin network. The more blocks, the longer the trading time, thus forming a “chain “, although this” chain “has no actual commercial value, but because of the decentralization of value demand continues to increase, prices also rise with the water.

As technology advances, it’s not a problem to replicate any more Bitcoin networks, but so far no blockchain network has been able to match Bitcoin. A lot of facts have proved that blockchain networks in the digital economy, if separated from commercial applications, mean that bubbles are made purely. The strong have been established since ancient times, and only “killer apps” can shake Bitcoin’s position, although there are inevitable defects, but it will not affect its value at all, unless emerging technologies break the balance and make this decentralized environment no longer exist, But this is not impossible, plus Bitcoin in the transaction confirmation time is slow, poor value support and other hard injuries. There is no credit endorsement from any government or institution behind Bitcoin, which is prone to deflation with obvious market ups and downs. In terms of vision, it is already a bit contrary to the initial anti-inflationary heart, and it is difficult to realize commercial applications. The contribution to the development of digital economy is insignificant. Therefore, we think that in the development mechanism of digital economy, it is more effective to introduce a new application than to permanently repair the original application without a block chain network with commercial applications. MKEcoin (Monke Coin) is also born on this demand.

MKEcoin is a subchain technique based on Monero CryptoNote protocols. MKEcoin effectively inherits the privacy, decentralization and extensibility of the main chain Monero, and its powerful expansibility alleviates the storage pressure of the main chain. With its custom DPOS consensus mechanism, it meets the needs of more DAPP and other commercial applications in the future.

MKEcoin based on CryptoNote protocols, significant algorithm differences blur blockchain transactions, focusing on private and censored boycott transactions, transactions are confidential and untraceable to ensure user information security for each transaction. CryptoNote is an application layer protocol that supports a variety of decentralized, privacy-oriented digital currencies. Its goal is to become the evolution of ideas behind Bitcoin.

Different from Bitcoin, CryptoNote transactions can not display the way money is sent or received through block links. The approximate number of transactions can be known, but the sender, receiver and actual number can not be known. the only information available is that the actual quantity is lower than the quantity shown. the only person accessing the entire dataset about a transaction is the sender or receiver of the transaction and the person with one or two secret keys; another significant difference is the CryptoNote hash-based workload proof algorithm. Bitcoin is used SHA256, It is CPU binding function. this means that participants (miners) are only limited by their computational speed, and it is relatively cheap to create dedicated integrated circuit (ASIC) devices, which will have a hash per unit of currency over the normal computer. CryptoNote use memory binding functions CryptoNight, can not easily pipeline production.

MKEcoin sub-chain technology realizes the scalability of block chain system and provides a feasible solution to block chain fragmentation. MKEcoin subchain derived from the main chain platform with independent functions of the block chain. These subchains can not exist alone and must be run through the infrastructure provided by the main chain, so the subchain inherits all the attributes of the main chain.

A significant feature of MKEcoin subchains is the ability to define their own consensus approach and execution modules. Far from being limited to the different consensus modes of the main chain, the consensus mode of the sub-chain can be POW ,PBFT ,POS ,DPOS, even the consensus mode that different industries can define themselves. Of course, the user must define the consensus engine separately to implement the task under the custom consensus mechanism. There are several advantages to this :1. The function of the subchain is greatly enriched in a flexible way. The function of the sub-chain is not only limited to the scope of intelligent contract processing, but also increases the practicability. 2. can make full use of MKEcoin main chain to quickly deploy subchains with new functions without the need to maintain the nodes needed for a separate block chain and the cost of attracting new users to participate. 3. the difficulty of deploying subchains is greatly reduced, we only need to write subchain consensus and execution module.

MKEcoin unique custom consensus mechanism and execution module, according to the needs of the application scene, quickly form a consensus module to achieve its commercial value, and MKEcoin the block speed is independent, not limited by the public chain, Can customize block speed according to application requirements to meet transaction fluency and balance.

MKEcoin sub-chain technology can not only be used as a DAPP support platform to build complex application scenarios, but also can be deployed as a common service platform to provide specific services for other sub-chains or DAPP. MKEcoin realizes the cross-chain transaction with other block chains, and more broadly, realizes the communication between block chains and other networks, forming the interconnection of all things.

ELFBAR’s ELFX and ELFA Pod Systems Win German Design Award and CMF Design Awards

Published

on

Four reusable devices recognised by two international juries for refined industrial design

United States, 29th May 2026, Global vape brand ELFBAR said today that four products in its reusable pod system lineup have been honoured by the German Design Award and the International CMF Design Awards. The recognised devices are the ELFX Mini, ELFX 2, ELFA Master Stein and the ELFA pod system.

ELFBAR's ELFX and ELFA Pod Systems Win German Design Award and CMF Design Awards
 

The German Design Award, organised by the German Design Council, named the ELFX Mini and the ELFA Master Stein as 2026 winners. The International CMF Design Awards, which evaluates excellence in colour, material and finish, recognised the ELFA Master Stein and the ELFX 2. ELFA Master Stein and ELFX Mini are now available in Germany.

The awarded lineup

The four products sit at the centre of ELFBAR’s reusable portfolio for adult smokers and ex-smokers looking for an alternative to combustible tobacco. The range spans compact entry devices through to the ELFX 2, which goes on sale in Germany in June 2026.

Each device shares a restrained visual language. Casing materials are selected for grip and longevity. Colour palettes are subdued. Branding is kept small. The shapes are contoured for one-handed use, and the surface finishes are tuned to feel calm in the hand. The ELFA Master Stein, named after the stein vessels of European drinking culture, uses a textured casing that references the heritage of stoneware and glass.

On the design approach

“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.”

The recognition follows a multi-year effort inside ELFBAR’s industrial design studio to move the brand’s product language away from the bright, single-use silhouettes that defined the early years of the vaping category. The company has been steadily replacing those formats in its lineup with longer-lived devices intended to look and feel more like other categories of mature consumer hardware.

Engineering details

Beyond the look of each device, the awarded products share a set of practical features that ELFBAR describes as central to its reusable design approach.

Pods are secured magnetically and click into place without alignment fuss. E-liquid levels are visible through windows on the casing, making refill timing intuitive. Status displays communicate battery and pod information at a glance. Airflow and power settings are adjustable on the relevant models, allowing users to shape the draw to their preference. Modular construction lets pods and cartridges be replaced rather than discarded, extending the useful life of each device.

For the ELFX 2 specifically, the upcoming launch introduces the new ELFX POD 2.0 cartridge generation. The generation adds a child lock, an upgraded airway designed for richer flavour, and a 5A leakproof system intended to keep e-liquid contained under everyday pocket and travel use.

The German context

The design recognition lands in ELFBAR’s largest European market. According to internal data, the brand leads the German pod system category with about 60 percent market share. Prefilled and refillable products — including the ELFX and ELFA pod systems and the ELFLIQ e-liquid range — now account for around 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.

European regulators have meanwhile sharpened their focus on disposable vapes and on packaging waste. Brands that can demonstrate genuine reusability, supported by replaceable components and durable design, are increasingly being separated from those that cannot. The awarded ELFX and ELFA products are positioned within that shift.

What comes next

ELFBAR said it plans to introduce the award-winning ELFX and ELFA designs to other European markets in due course, with the ELFX 2 leading the next wave from Germany in June 2026. Specific dates, pricing and channel availability will be confirmed market by market.

OVIOS x Studio F. A. Porsche Debuts AERO EVO on the Nasdaq Tower in Times Square

Published

on

United States, 29th May 2026, – The Evolution of Living in Style Arrives at the Crossroads of the World

NEW YORK, May 2026 — Global furniture brand OVIOS officially unveiled its latest collaborative masterpiece, AERO EVO, created together with Studio F. A. Porsche, on the iconic Nasdaq Tower in New York’s Times Square. The appearance marks a milestone moment for OVIOS as the brand continues to bring elevated contemporary living experiences to a global audience.

Displayed across one of the world’s most recognizable digital landmarks, AERO EVO represents far more than a furniture launch. It symbolizes the convergence of modern luxury living, aerodynamic artistry, and German precision engineering — all expressed through a new generation of sculptural furniture design.

Inspired by the concept “The Shape of Air,” AERO EVO was designed around the invisible flow of movement and fluid dynamics. Every curve, contour, and proportion reflects a philosophy of purity and functional elegance. The result is a seating experience that feels simultaneously futuristic, calming, and deeply human.

OVIOS x Studio F. A. Porsche AERO EVO limited collection living space

“The collaboration between OVIOS and Studio F. A. Porsche is not simply about creating furniture,” said the OVIOS design team. “It is about engineering a new lifestyle language — one where comfort, precision, and emotional design coexist seamlessly.”

At the core of the collaboration lies the shared vision of “The Evolution of Style.” OVIOS brings its signature philosophy of Living in Style together with the uncompromising functional aesthetics of Studio F. A. Porsche, creating a collection that transcends conventional home furnishing.

The AERO EVO collection will be strictly limited to 919 pieces worldwide, with each piece individually serialized and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The number “919” represents the relentless pursuit of refinement, symbolizing hundreds of iterations dedicated to achieving aesthetic and structural perfection.

“A single silhouette, redefined 919 times,” the campaign states. “Because Living in Style is not a destination, but a relentless pursuit of perfect balance.”
