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 German Business Is Now Built Around Reusable Pod Systems

Published

on

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.
 

ELFBAR's German Business Is Now Built Around Reusable Pod Systems

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.

ELFBAR to Launch Award-Winning ELFX 2 Pod System in Germany in June 2026

Published

on

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.

ELFBAR to Launch Award-Winning ELFX 2 Pod System in Germany in June 2026
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.
