Elastos Incorporates Cyber Republic DAO as Legal Entity to Spearhead Growth through Democratic Decision Making

Elastos

Elastos, the world’s leading provider of open-source solutions and developer of the first decentralized infrastructure for the Modern Internet (Web3), is pleased to announce that its longstanding ecosystem DAO, Cyber Republic (CR), has been officially incorporated into a legal entity in the state of Delaware. The innovative filing was completed by AmLaw 100 law firm K&L Gates. As a fully established LLC, Cyber Republic Operations recognizes the Elastos’ Cyber Republic Consensus (CRC) as a legal entity, enabling the DAO to perform business operations critical to Elastos’ grassroots growth through the power of democratic decision making. Cyber Republic’s conception was announced by Elastos Foundation (EF) co-founder Rong Chen on August 27, 2018. The EF subsequently transferred 50% of the total supply of ELA—16,500,000 tokens—that had been previously reserved for ecosystem development to the DAO, substantially decentralizing Elastos and empowering the DAO to lead its growth and evolution. The legal incorporation of the CR expands its ability to realize this power by conducting business operations such as opening fiat bank accounts and entering legally binding contracts with partners and service providers. “Elastos’ ecosystem DAO is one of the most sophisticated, nuanced active, and well-funded community organizations operating on truly decentralized system architecture, and it is a shining example of a successful experiment in community-building, governance, and venture capital all at once,” said Fakhul Miah Co-founder Elation Studios, the Cyber Republic Council Member organization that leads marketing and communications for Elastos. “The incorporation of Cyber Republic Operations LLC enhances the capabilities of our DAO, giving it the latitude and legal standing to meet the diverse needs of Elastos as it matures and pursues goals, like the listing of ELA on a Tier 1 exchange.” Following Elastos’ hybrid-consensus of Auxiliary Proof-of-Work (AuxPoW) and Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS), Cyber Republic was designed to serve as a third-tier consensus mechanism. CRC is composed of individuals and organizations in the Elastos community. CRC involves a series of on-chain voting procedures by which ELA holders in the Elastos community elect 12 representatives to serve on the Cyber Republic Council, and the ensuing processes in which council members nominate various ecosystem proposals and vote on whether to officially put them into action. The DAO is built directly into the Elastos ecosystem, allowing all ELA token owners input on the strategic direction and operations of the project. The CR Council has operated as the Elastos ecosystem DAO since June 2019 and has been responsible for constructing and directing growth and adoption strategies, community expansion initiatives, and the broader development direction of the Elastos ecosystem. Recently, the council approved Elastos’ Partnership with Omnicom Agency TLGG to develop, launch, and manage marketing campaigns to increase awareness and adoption of the Elastos Ecosystem’s palette of Web3 Solutions. With the establishment of Cyber Republic Operations LLC, the DAO is expected to take on a greater role in pursuing Tier-1 exchange listings, hiring additional marketing partners, making staffing decisions, and engaging accountancy, insurance, and legal services. About Elastos Founded in 2017, Elastos is a decentralized community building the blockchain industry's most comprehensive and interoperable open source Web3 platform. Using a hybrid consensus that combines the secure hashpower of Bitcoin and the democratic ideals of Delegated-Proof-of-Stake, the SmartWeb ecosystem of Elastos comprises a suite of software for an entirely decentralized internet. Elastos employs not only blockchain technology, but a peer-to-peer network for communication, decentralized data storage services, a decentralized ID (DID) system for all digital assets, the Elastos Smart Chain (ESC)—an EVM-compatible layer 2 chain, and the ability to create smart contracts and unlimited sidechains. Elastos is not only the foundation for securing truly decentralized applications that can scale; it is the foundation for true data ownership.Elastos Essentials, the flagship product of the Elastos SmartWeb, brings the entire decentralized ecosystem into a single App, currently available for Android and iOS.To learn more, visit the Elastos Info Website, Twitter, or Discord. If you are a developer, visit Elastos Developer or Github. About Cyber Republic The Cyber Republic Consensus is the third Elastos consensus mechanism after PoW and DPoS. The purpose of CRC is to provide a consensus-based community governance mechanism that will drive Elastos’ technological and ecosystem development, dispute resolution, and management of community assets, and establish incentives to foster community participation in the governance of and contribution to the Elastos community.The CR Council can be viewed as the CR community's top-level governance model, but it is not intended to become a closed off, tightly knit, or compulsory organizational structure for the community; openness, dispersion, and spontaneity are essential characteristics of the community. Rather, its purpose is to guide the process of grassroots growth through the power of democratic decision making, and to provide assistance when necessary.

Green Cubes Technology Announces Membership in CircuBAT Research Program

Green Cubes Technology

Green Cubes Technology, a leader in electrification and Lithium power solutions, today announced its participation as a founding member in CircuBAT. CircuBAT is a Swiss research program that aims to create a Swiss circular business model for the production, application, and recycling of Lithium-ion batteries. Seven Swiss research institutions and 24 companies are joining forces to look for ways to boost sustainability in all stages of a battery’s life cycle. CircuBAT will focus on finding solutions that boost sustainability in all phases of a Lithium-ion battery’s life cycle. This will include extending the lifespan of batteries during their first application. Researchers hope to achieve this by developing optimal charging and discharging strategies as well as new concepts for battery construction that make repairs easy. The project also aims to put batteries to use as stationary energy storage systems after they are retired from their first mobility-related application. To that end, CircuBAT will look at the best ways of integrating these batteries at a local level and ensuring their safe and efficient operation. Finally, the researchers will look for solutions for remanufacturing batteries and recovering materials that enable large quantities of high-quality secondary raw materials to be used to produce new batteries. Bern University of Applied Sciences BFH is the Leading House in the CircuBAT project. On the science side, an additional six Swiss research institutions are involved in the project: Empa, the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM), the University of St. Gallen (HSG), the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences (OST), the Switzerland Innovation Park Biel / Bienne (SIPBB) and the EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). These institutions are joined by 24 companies from economy and industry, among them Kyburz, Leclanché, Bühler and Green Cubes Technology. As a founding member of CircuBAT, Green Cubes Technology has made a multi-year financial investment in the program. The company will also contribute first-use lithium-ion batteries for experimentation and testing within the program, provide engineering design services to develop new more-efficient batteries, and contribute intellectual property to achieve the objectives of CircuBAT. Green Cubes Technology will participate in two working groups. The “First Use” group will focus on extending the life of first-use batteries through extensive analysis of deployed batteries in the field. Green Cubes Technology will contribute performance data collected from its prolific installed base of Lithium-ion batteries. The “Second Life” group will focus on creating second-use and second-life opportunities to minimize the total CO 2 footprint of lithium-ion battery systems during their lifetime. Since its inception 30 years ago, Green Cubes Technology has gained considerable experience minimizing the environmental impact of its deployed batteries. This positive impact will be amplified with a system of second life batteries, where the installed base of first use batteries is redeployed when they reach a certain age limit. The Lithium-ion cells used in Green Cubes Technology’s batteries are non-toxic, and are currently recycled and reprocessed at their end of life. Going forward, these cells can be repurposed into less demanding second life applications such as backup energy storage. “We joined the CircuBAT research program because its mission is very well aligned with ours,” said Keith Washington, CEO of Green Cubes Technology. “We all want the same thing and that is a circular economy for Lithium-ion batteries. We are looking forward to sharing our experience, and giving electric mobility batteries a second life with our Swiss partners in the CircuBAT research program, as they strive to make the Swiss economy as sustainable as possible” More information on the research program can be found on its website: https://circubat.ch. About Green Cubes Technology Green Cubes Technology develops and manufactures safe and reliable electrification solutions that enable its OEM and enterprise customers to transition from Lead Acid and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) power to Lithium-ion battery power. Green Cubes utilizes proven hardware and software platforms to build the most reliable Lithium power solutions in its industries. With over 300 employees across six countries, Green Cubes has been producing innovative, high-performance and high-quality power solutions since 1986.
