Mining Machine for Heating—New Usage Found for the Apocalypse Miners

Published

on

Blockchain technology has come to the central stage of the digital economy, introducing us to a better version of our society—in spite of one thing that keeps it at the center of controversy; and that is the waste of energy and computing power caused by PoW mining.

Based on research, 70% of the world’s total computing power is consumed for mining cryptos, which is million times what Google utilizes. While mining energy consumption also takes up 0.5% of the world’s total, relatively in excess of the combined usage of many countries. The challenge nowadays is the fact that mining does not create any real value for society in a more conventional sense, and is thus perceived by many as a definite waste.

With this opportunity, Matrix will take the “More Public Benefits” approach as one of its missions. Previously Matrix introduced AI computing into its consensus algorithm and invented Hybrid PoW to utilize spare computing power. And now we are about to welcome another breakthrough: heat from mining farms will be used to warm up cities.

The mechanism behind this is to use insulating liquid to collect heat emissions from the Apocalypse miners, and then send the energy to where it’s needed with the help of an AI-assisted Heat Exchange System.

Apocalypse Miner Heating Mechanism

Most of North China utilizes central heating during winter, which obviously could harm the environment. Matrix’s new method will help not only to lessen the harmful impact on nature but also pioneers a less wasteful mining solution with environmental protection as a top priority.

According to Official Account of Internet Information Office of Yili Xinjiang, Dadamutu Village School in Ghulja, Xinjiang was the first to experience this innovation. For the entire winter of 2020, heat from Matrix’s Apocalypse mining machines kept those classrooms and dorms at a temperature above 24 degrees, using only a third of the energy compared to furnaces.

The Apocalypse Miner Heating Setup

For teachers and students at Dadamutu Village School, this is an exceptional experience. “The new heating method does a wonderful job of keeping our offices and classrooms warm,” said Teacher Liu Ning. “We don’t suffer from the black smoke from furnaces anymore. The air is fresh to breathe. Now spring has come, and we can wear T-shirts in school.”

The local environmental authorities also expressed their approval with a positive impression. “We are committed to implementing new technologies to protect our blue sky. Since the pilot project with Matrix at the local village school works out well, we are considering promoting the heating method in the whole city.”

Xinjiang is home to a number of power plants in China and has been plagued by heavy carbon emissions for years. By introducing this revolutionary heating solution, Matrix is delivering on its mission by pioneering a greener future of “carbon neutrality” in the region.

Matrix is still working on further improvements of this technology for use by other blockchain projects. This is yet another step to making crypto mining greener and more beneficial to society.

ChangeNOW Brings Martin Masser Into Its Crypto Super App

Published

on

Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, August 5th, 2026, Chainwire

The former TON executive joins as Director of Strategic Partnerships to form the connections behind ChangeNOW’s next phase.

Former TON executive Martin Masser joins ChangeNOW to build strategic partnerships, ecosystem relationships, and media momentum behind its next phase.

Masser comes with experience across traditional banking, Web2 and Web3, including senior growth and business development roles within the TON space. At ChangeNOW, he will lead strategic relationships with blockchain networks, wallets, fintech companies, payment providers and other infrastructure partners.

His appointment comes as ChangeNOW grows beyond standalone crypto services, transitioning to one connected product where users can buy, store, swap, trade, send, receive and grow digital assets. The industry has already built most of the individual components. What it hasn’t solved is the experience of using them together; clients are still expected to switch between platforms, understand different networks and connect the pieces on their own. ChangeNOW’s super app strategy is designed to move that complexity beneath the product.

“Martin brings a rare mix of commercial relationships, product and media understanding,” said Pauline Shangett, Chief Strategy Officer at ChangeNOW. “He knows what the technology can do, what the business needs and how to make the market pay attention. That is exactly the perspective we need as we build the ChangeNOW super app.”

Masser’s role will focus not on accumulating partnership announcements, but on identifying relationships that can make ChangeNOW’s infrastructure more complete and remove unnecessary steps from the сlient experience.

“The best partnerships create access, adoption and attention. My focus is to build relationships that make the product stronger, simpler and more useful, and then help the market understand why they matter. If you are building wallets, networks, payments, stablecoins, fintech infrastructure, consumer crypto or Web3 products, I want to hear from you,” said Masser. 

For consumers, ChangeNOW is combining the core activities of managing crypto within one environment. For businesses, it is developing an integrated set of tools for crypto payments, exchange, stablecoin settlement, digital asset management and Web3 integrations.

As ChangeNOW expands into a crypto super app, its next phase is connecting the right networks, wallets and partners. Masser’s role will be central to building those relationships and turning them into product value, adoption and market momentum.

About ChangeNOW

ChangeNOW.io is a crypto super app built for every crypto move, giving newcomers, professionals, and businesses the tools they need to access Web3 finance in a simple and secure way.

Since 2017, ChangeNOW has grown from a fast, secure, and limitless instant exchange into a trusted platform where storage, swaps, trading, staking, and asset management are covered in one simple experience for millions of clients worldwide.

About Martin Masser

Martin Masser is Director of Strategic Partnerships at ChangeNOW, where he is building partnerships around the company’s expansion into a crypto super app. His career covers traditional banking and capital markets in London and Web3, including his previous role as Head of Growth at TON Foundation. Martin works at the intersection of growth, infrastructure, and partnerships, connecting products and industry players to make crypto services work as one seamless user experience.

allwhere Expands UK Operations with Upgraded Depot

Published

on

New York City, New York, August 5th, 2026, FinanceWire

allwhere, the leading IT asset lifecycle management platform, today announced the expansion of its UK operations with the opening of a larger, upgraded depot. The investment increases warehouse capacity, streamlines fulfillment operations, and strengthens allwhere’s ability to support organizations managing employee devices across the United Kingdom.

The upgraded facility represents a significant investment in allwhere’s existing UK infrastructure, enabling the company to deliver faster turnaround times, greater operational efficiency, and additional inventory capacity as demand for global device lifecycle management continues to grow.

“As more organizations build distributed teams, the operational side of IT has become increasingly important,” said Tony Solomon, VP of Global Operations at allwhere. “This investment strengthens the foundation of our UK operations, allowing us to fulfill orders more efficiently, scale alongside our customers, and continue delivering the high level of service they expect from allwhere.”

Built to Support Growing IT Operations

The expanded UK depot enhances every stage of the device lifecycle by improving warehouse operations and increasing fulfillment capacity.

Customers can expect benefits including:

  • Faster fulfillment, expedited shipping, and improved turnaround times for deployments and retrievals
  • Increased warehouse capacity to support growing inventory needs
  • More efficient storage, inventory management, and redeployment workflows
  • Standardized operational processes that improve consistency and scalability
  • End-to-end lifecycle support managed through a single platform

Whether onboarding a new employee, retrieving equipment from an offboarded team member, storing spare inventory, or preparing devices for redeployment, the upgraded facility enables allwhere to execute these workflows more efficiently while maintaining complete visibility through its platform.

Software and Operations, Unified

Unlike traditional asset management solutions that rely on disconnected software, logistics providers, and warehouses, allwhere combines workflow automation with global operational infrastructure.

Organizations can manage procurement, deployment, inventory, retrievals, storage, repairs, redeployment, and IT asset disposition through a single platform, while allwhere handles the operational execution behind the scenes.

The expanded UK depot further strengthens this model by providing the operational capacity needed to support larger fleets, faster fulfillment, and increasingly complex IT programs.

Continuing to Invest in Global Infrastructure

The UK depot expansion is part of allwhere’s continued investment in its global logistics network. allwhere currently operates full-service depots in the UK, Canada, EU, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Later this year, the company plans to further scale its infrastructure into the APAC region, with upcoming depot services in Australia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and more.

As organizations continue to scale distributed workforces, allwhere remains focused on expanding the operational infrastructure that powers modern IT teams—combining intelligent software with local logistics expertise to simplify device lifecycle management around the world.

About allwhere

allwhere is a laptop retrieval and IT procurement company that automates the IT asset lifecycle for companies ranging from startups to enterprises. From procurement and deployment to storage, maintenance, and retrieval, allwhere provides the infrastructure businesses need to support a global, distributed workforce.

Borderless.xyz Teams Up with Mastercard to Advance Trusted Cross-Border Stablecoin Payment Flows

Published

on

New York, New York, August 5th, 2026, FinanceWire

Borderless.xyz will explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential can help bring greater trust and confidence to cross-border stablecoin payments.

Borderless.xyz and Mastercard are collaborating on a new pilot to explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential’s standards-based framework can support trusted interactions across cross-border stablecoin payment flows. 

Stablecoins are increasingly being used to move value across borders, creating new opportunities for faster and more efficient payments. As adoption grows, participants need trusted ways to understand who they are interacting with and whether counterparties have met appropriate standards and requirements. 

Through the pilot, Borderless.xyz and Mastercard will explore how Mastercard Crypto Credential can address that challenge by providing assurance signals that participants can incorporate into their own approval, compliance and risk processes. 

Mastercard Crypto Credential helps support trusted and verifiable interactions across digital asset ecosystems. Through common standards and trusted assurance signals, it is designed to help bring more confidence, transparency and certainty to transactions across blockchain networks. 

The collaboration pairs Mastercard’s work in building trust and standards for digital asset ecosystems with Borderless.xyz’s network of stablecoin payment providers. Together, the companies are exploring how trusted governance signals can help reduce friction and bring greater confidence to cross-border stablecoin payments as adoption grows. 

“One of the biggest friction points for stablecoin payment operators isn’t the payments. It’s that compliance doesn’t scale the same way the network does. Every new provider means starting the verification process over. Correspondent banking solved this decades ago: originating compliance trusted downstream, no re-execution at every counterparty. Mastercard is applying that model to digital asset payments. Borderless.xyz is the network it runs through.” – Kevin Lehtiniitty, CEO and Co-Founder, Borderless.xyz

“Innovation is most powerful when it builds over time. Our relationship with Borderless.xyz began through Start Path and has continued to grow as the digital asset ecosystem has matured,” said Raj Dhamodharan, executive vice president, Blockchain & Digital Assets at Mastercard. “Today, we’re excited to take the next step together, exploring how Mastercard Crypto Credential can help bring greater trust and confidence to stablecoin payment flows across a growing network of participants.” 

The pilot brings together several of Borderless.xyz‘s network participants consisting of Infinia, Walapay, and Koywe, many of whom are also alumni of Mastercard Start Path, the company’s startup engagement program. These partners will leverage Mastercard Crypto Credential as some of the first stablecoin payment operators to run on the single-audit compliance model at network scale.
