Moonstake Taps Strategic Partner RockX to Integrate SOL Staking

SINGAPORE, Nov 10, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Moonstake is pleased to announce we are working with long-time strategic partner RockX to integrate SOL staking. Through this collaborative effort, Moonstake is leveraging RockX Solana validator to bring its users access to the Solana staking ecosystem so they can start earning from staking SOL. Together, Moonstake and RockX will accelerate the growth of Solana in the blockchain industry through staking. Since January 2021, Moonstake has also been working with RockX to support the Polkadot staking ecosystem. Today, Moonstake is a recognized top 10 staking providers in the world and a Verified Provider of the VPP family of the leading staking data aggregator, Staking Rewards. RockX is also a top 13 staking provider globally and also a Verified Provider of Staking Reward's program.


Moonstake started the staking business last year with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, we have developed the most user-friendly Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS / Android) with support for over 2000 cryptocurrencies. After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake's total staking assets have grown rapidly to reach $1 Billion. After Cosmos, IRISnet, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, Polkadot, Quras, Centrality, Orbs (on Ethereum and Polygon), IOST, TRON, Shiden, FIO, EVER, and ROSE, the highly demanded SOL will become the 18th staking coin available on Moonstake.

RockX is a digital assets platform that offers risk-adjusted crypto investment for the masses and allows users to compound their crypto holdings through mining, staking, and other DeFi products. It is currently a leading node operator for popular blockchains like Polkadot, Solana, and Avalanche. Recently, RockX sponsored the global hackathon Solana Summer Camp through the explorer SolanaFM to enable developers of every level to get a headstart in the Web 3.0 space by developing with one of the world's biggest blockchain, Solana. This event successfully took place from July to August 2022 and had up to 5 million USD in global prizes and seed funding.

Solana is a layer-1 blockchain that focuses on scalability, speed, cost minimization, and energy-efficiency. It uses a hybrid model of Proof of Stake (PoS) that combines a unique timestamp-based Proof of History (PoH) algorithm with a high-speed synchronization system. This lets Solana provide a high speed and low-cost experience to both users and developers, promising less than 0.01 USD for transaction fee and 0.001 seconds in transaction time. Thanks to these innovations, Solana has become one of the most popular blockchains for DApp developers and staking users. In fact, the SOL coin now sits in the ranking of the top 10 cryptocurrencies in terms of market capitalization.

Mitsuru Tezuka, Founder at Moonstake says: "We are very pleased to once again work together with partner RockX, one of Solana's world leading node operators. Soon, users of Moonstake can access staking of SOL using RockX's validator, just like before for DOT staking. By combining the market leading platforms of Moonstake and RockX, we are confident that we can support the ever-growing Solana ecosystem together, just like what we have been doing for the Polkadot ecosystem."

Zhuling Chen, CEO at RockX says: "We are pleased to be partnering with Moonstake who is a top-10 staking provider and a user-friendly wallet. I am very happy to be extending our partnership from Polkadot to Solana. Moonstake and RockX will continue to push the boundaries together to improve access to blockchain services and focus further on the growth of our Solana ecosystem, just as we did before with Polkadot."

Prontoblock and EPIC ESG Partner to Launch a DAO and Issue On-Chain Green Bonds to Finance Clean Energy Solutions

NEW YORK, Nov 8, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – The on-chain tokenized green bonds issued by Prontoblock will be one of the first such offerings in the United States. Moody's forecasts that the issuance of green bonds could total $1 trillion in 2022.


New York, November 8, 2022 — Prontoblock, an innovative blockchain and Web3 company, will partner with EPIC ESG to utilize smart contracts in the form of Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs), and introduce utility tokens to support the structure of on-chain green bonds for large-scale projects. Prontoblock will issue approximately $300 million in notional value in the form of on-chain green bonds to support EPIC ESG's take out needs for the company's clean energy projects.

According to a 2022 report by McKinsey, capital spending on physical assets for energy and land-use systems required to decarbonize the global economy and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 are estimated to be $9.2 trillion annually, and $275 trillion in total.

EPIC ESG's clean energy, carbon sequestration and disruptive agricultural solutions address pressing green energy challenges within the United States. To fund and manage these solutions, Prontoblock will launch a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), an emerging corporate model that democratizes and automates governance utilizing logic embedded within smart contracts, to secure financing, streamline operations and improve reporting.

Powered by Prontoblock's platform, this partnership will generate highly secure tokenized green bonds to open up market access for a broad spectrum of investors with increased efficiencies, and fractionalized ownership. This will help increase liquidity and decrease the cost of capital for all participants.

By issuing NFTs on a distributed ledger, the ownership rights of these green bonds will be easily traded on multiple centralized and decentralized crypto exchanges globally – delivering new and superior functionality with digital assets over traditional ones.

"We are very excited to be working with Prontoblock, given their capital markets and blockchain expertise, to advance our ESG initiatives," says Kyle Barnett, CSO of EPIC ESG. "This partnership will democratize retail access to bonds and accelerate the rollout of critically needed clean energy projects."

"The opportunity for Prontoblock to support worthy projects in the ESG space is a deserving use case for our technology," says John Murphy, Co-founder and Chairman of Prontoblock. "The DAO and green bonds issued by our platform will significantly increase access to food supply, uninterrupted clean energy and the offsetting of carbon emissions. As the need for capital for climate-related investments in the coming decades will be immense, supporting EPIC ESG's endeavors is a moral imperative for Prontoblock."

Learn & Earn, A New Way For Crypto Investment, Created by MoonWealth, Affiliated To Moonstake

SINGAPORE, Nov 1, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Today, Moonstake is pleased to announce we are launching a crypto investment platform targeting the needs and demands of beginners called MoonWealth. It is a simple yet secure platform that allows anyone to get started with crypto investing with a peace of mind. MoonWealth was created with the mission to educate new investors about the advantages and risks of crypto investing, giving them the chance to make conscious financial decisions that grow their wealth.


The crypto market has been and is continuing to grow exponentially. A 2021 research estimated that around 300 million people worldwide own crypto and the average person now is aware of much more than just Bitcoin. Thanks to game-changing industry developments and unprecedented enterprise adoption, more and more people are becoming interested in crypto investing, but are still hesitating due to risk aversion. Since crypto is a tech-heavy field, there are a lot of factors that contribute to the high barrier of entry, such as the complexity of managing crypto assets by yourself, the fast-moving and often unpredictable nature of this market, the lack of easily digestible educational information for newcomers, or the unfortunate abundance of scammers. This is where the beginner platform MoonWealth comes in, to give the crypto industry a much needed solution that focuses on transparency and educating retail consumers about the risks and benefits of crypto investing.

The MoonWealth platform is made up of two key components, Learn and Earn, that cover a newcomer's whole crypto journey from knowledge exploration to practical application and investing. MoonWealth Learn is an interactive learning experience where users will be able to learn and test their crypto knowledge in a quick and simple manner. By providing the necessary context and simplifying the wealth of information available on crypto investing, MoonWealth aims to be the ideal starting point for anyone, regardless of their level of crypto knowledge or investing experience, to understand and participate in crypto easily. To follow up on MoonWealth Learn, MoonWealth Earn is also in the plan, which will offer users valuable investment products as the next step of the newbie's crypto journey in the near future. Users of MoonWealth Learn can earn Learn points, which can be used to redeem benefits. You can currently access the official MoonWealth website and MoonWealth Earn crypto learning platform here. http://moonwealth.io/

MoonWealth is the new project of Moonstake, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Exchange listed OIO Holdings (SGX: KUX). Established in April 2020, Moonstake is currently a top 10 staking provider globally that operates a top-rated self-custodial staking platform for Web and Mobile users with support for 17 leading cryptocurrencies as well as stablecoins and NFTs. We are committed to bringing transparency and trust to our customers and constantly strive to improve our operations, which has earned us the recognition as a Verified Provider according to the leading global staking data aggregator Staking Rewards.

Speaking on the launch of MoonWealth, Moonstake Founder Mitsuru Tezuka states: "We're excited to launch the new platform, MoonWealth, to help newcomers to the crypto investment field quickly and easily get started. With both the Moonstake and MoonWealth Learn and Earn product suite, we hope to satisfy the needs and demands of the widest range of crypto users possible, regardless of their level of industry knowledge and experience, and more strongly promote widespread adoption of cryptocurrency. This is also a part of OIO's approach to investing and education: giving a transparent and neutral view of the investment products by focusing not on unsustainable yields levels but on a long-term, healthy vision of the crypto market in general."

With Moonstake, we aim to cover the needs of experienced crypto users and with MoonWealth, we aim to support and guide new users to the crypto ecosystem. Both platforms will work in tandem to serve the needs of crypto users of all experience levels and promote the staking and digital asset ecosystems as a whole to accelerate global adoption. The launch of this new project aligns with Moonstake's mission to satisfy the increasing demands of investors and businesses in regional and global blockchain markets by providing an active environment for crypto asset holders, both newbies and experienced enthusiasts.
