DX Coin is designed to support the platform’s long-term development in Web3 distribution, community collaboration, and growth marketing, and is regarded as a key component of DistributeX’s decentralized collaboration ecosystem. According to the company, DX Coin is an incentive mechanism co-designed by DistributeX and multiple marketing and promotion teams across the Web3 industry. It is primarily used to track and reward user participation and contributions within the community ecosystem.

In terms of use cases, DX Coin can be used to apply for or redeem certain services and resources within the DistributeX platform, including project promotion, exposure support, and access to selected feature permissions. For merchants and project teams, DX Coin provides a way to participate in the platform’s promotion framework to help increase market visibility for products or initiatives. Where permitted under platform rules, DX Coin may also be used to redeem digital benefits or virtual items, such as membership privileges. DX Coin also serves as a core tool for community incentives. Based on users’ actual participation—such as content contributions, community collaboration, and event participation—the platform will issue corresponding token rewards. This reward mechanism is intended to increase community activity and encourage long-term engagement aligned with the platform’s growth. DistributeX further noted that during the initial operating phase, in order to maintain community quality and engagement, the invitation mechanism will be opened in stages.

Aquaholic Gifts Reports Increased Demand for Eco-Friendly Corporate Merchandise in Singapore
Singapore — January 1, 2026 — Aquaholic Gifts , a Singapore-based corporate gifts supplier, has recorded a significant increase in demand for sustainable and environmentally responsible merchandise over the past year, highlighting a change in how organisations approach corporate gifting and brand representation. According to internal sales data, the company experienced a 32% year-on-year increase in orders for eco-friendly products. High-growth categories include bamboo drinkware, recycled-fabric tote bags , wheat-fibre stationery, and biodegradable packaging solutions. More than half of new corporate clients in 2025 specifically requested products made from recycled, organic, or responsibly sourced materials. This growth aligns with wider developments in Singapore’s corporate environment, where Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are becoming increasingly embedded into procurement and marketing decisions. Corporate gifting is now viewed not only as a branding activity but also as a visible expression of organisational values. “Sustainability is now a key consideration rather than an optional feature,” said Koh, Director of Aquaholic Gifts. “Many organisations are aligning their gifting programs with environmental commitments, and this is shaping purchasing decisions across industries.” Changing Buyer Expectations Aquaholic Gifts reports a noticeable shift in client enquiries, with buyers placing greater emphasis on material sourcing, recyclability, and packaging impact. Human resources, marketing, and procurement teams are increasingly applying sustainability benchmarks when selecting merchandise suppliers. These changes reflect broader national initiatives, including Singapore’s Green Plan 2030, which has encouraged businesses to adopt responsible production, waste reduction, and environmentally conscious procurement practices. Expansion of Sustainable Product Lines To respond to growing demand, Aquaholic Gifts expanded its EcoSmart Collection, a curated range of merchandise produced using renewable, recycled, or biodegradable materials. The collection includes reusable drinkware, recycled-material bags, eco stationery, and sustainable lifestyle accessories, all designed for practical use and long-term value. Products can be customised using low-impact printing methods, and the company works with suppliers that prioritise ethical labour standards and reduced packaging waste. Operational Sustainability Efforts Beyond product offerings, Aquaholic Gifts has implemented internal sustainability measures, including digital invoicing, paperless workflows, and reduced energy consumption within its warehouse operations. The company has also increased collaboration with local recycling partners to minimise post-delivery waste. Outlook Aquaholic Gifts anticipates continued growth in demand for sustainable corporate merchandise, with eco-friendly products expected to account for a majority of sales by 2026. The company plans to further expand its sustainable product range, including collaborations with local producers.

SCENTA to Debut A-T302 Day & Night Dual Duat Aroma Diffuser at CES 2026, Elevating Smart Home Fragrance with Emotion-Driven Design
As smart home technology evolves from functional integration to emotional connection, olfactory interaction is emerging as a new frontier in sensory innovation. At the upcoming CES 2026, SCENTA—a global leader in integrated fragrance solutions—will debut the A-T302 Day & Night Duat Aroma Diffuser, redefining the smart home scent experience through cutting-edge technology. The current home aroma diffuser market reveals a stark divide: luxury tower models come with steep price tags, while compact, car air fresheners offer limited diffusion capabilities. SCENTA’s A-T302 addresses this gap with precision—offering a desktop-sized home diffuser that balances performance, accessibility, and design. Built for medium-capacity spaces, it introduces users to SCENTA’s signature Two-Fluid Nebulization Fragrance Technology in an elegant, practical format. At the heart of this product is its breakthrough Dual Scent Nozzles with independent control. Users can enjoy two distinct fragrances simultaneously from a single device, managing each nozzle separately via onboard controls or a mobile app. Whether it's a morning wake-up, focused work session, or evening relaxation, users can effortlessly switch scents to match different moods and scenarios—elevating personalized fragrance experiences to a new level. This scent diffuser design redefines personalization, offering a dynamic, mood-based fragrance journey beyond what traditional oil diffusers can provide. With 16 years of R&D excellence and deep consumer insight, SCENTA engineered the A-T302 to integrate seamlessly into daily routines. A patented Spill-Proof Dumping Design mitigates leakage concerns, protecting surfaces and making cleanup effortless—a significant step forward in home scent diffuser usability. The unit's soft-touch finish delivers a premium tactile experience, while a synchronized ambient breathing light further enhances the emotional resonance of scent diffusion. Its refined aesthetics blur the line between smart home devices and lifestyle décor, creating a sensory centerpiece in any room. Built with modularity in mind, the A-T302 enables brand and retail partners to respond quickly to evolving consumer demands. This agile customization makes it not only a powerful aroma diffuser, but also a versatile offering in the fast-changing world of home fragrance products. Notably, the A-T302 functions as a Waterless diffuser, using advanced nebulization instead of heat or water—preserving the purity and intensity of essential oils for a superior olfactory effect. This approach enhances longevity and ensures users experience true-to-nature scents with every use. SCENTA will showcase a live demonstration of the A-T302 at CES 2026, from January 6–9, at Booth #36151 in Hall 2 of the South Hall, Las Vegas Convention Center.

GLOBAL FINANCIAL REVOLUTION WITH AI-NATIVE BLOCKCHAIN
While the cryptocurrency market has been dominated by speculative assets and fragmented solutions, BTCD (Bitcoin-D) is emerging as a breath of fresh air – a Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed to integrate AI at the protocol layer, promising to reshape the global financial landscape. A FINANCIAL OPERATING SYSTEM FOR THE NEW WORLD BTCD is not an ordinary cryptocurrency. This is a comprehensive "Financial Operating System" built for widespread adoption in the real world. With the goal of launching its mainnet by August 15, 2026, BTCD is filling a critical gap in the market by providing infrastructure capable of processing millions of transactions with enterprise-grade reliability. Imagine: A bank in the United States using BTCD for international money transfers instantly, reducing processing time from 3 days to just 10 seconds and cutting costs by up to 70%. A small business owner in Nigeria can borrow capital at reasonable rates without needing a traditional bank. Maria in Houston saves 1,320 annually from remittance fees. UNIQUE AI-NATIVE TECHNOLOGY The biggest differentiator of BTCD is its AI-native architecture. Unlike other blockchains that run AI applications as an additional layer, BTCD embeds AI deeply into the core structure. This enables: Intelligent Risk Assessment : AI analyzes transaction behavior in real-time to detect fraud and evaluate credit Automatic Optimization : AI algorithms help users maximize returns on their assets Personalized Experience : Each user receives financial products customized based on their needs and risk profile COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL ECOSYSTEM BTCD is not merely a blockchain but a complete financial ecosystem: Integrated Retail Banking : FDIC-style reporting, 4-7% USD yields, and transaction fees of just 0.1 cents Extremely Low Costs : Reduces intermediary fees and operational costs by up to 70% compared to traditional systems Regulatory Compliance : Designed with compliance tools from the start, helping businesses adopt easily MISSION AND VISION The BTCD Organization, a decentralized organization managed by the token-holding community, is strongly committed to: Financial Inclusion : Empowering 1.7 billion unbanked people globally Transparency : All transactions and governance activities are public and verifiable Sustainable Development : Building a financial system owned by users, not centralized institutions MARKET AND OPPORTUNITIES BTCD targets three main markets: 120 million U.S. consumers needing cheaper payment solutions and better financial services Global remittance corridor of 180 billion annually , where average fees reach 6-7% Businesses and financial institutions seeking reliable, compliant blockchain infrastructure A GENUINE COMMITMENT BTCD is not another "shitcoin" in the sea of cryptocurrencies. This is a serious project with a team that has built the product, audited the code, and is ready to serve real users with real needs. When you open the BTCD app, you're not just joining another blockchain project. You're stepping into a public utility built with concrete code, managed like a democratic credit union, and designed to solve real financial problems for real people. CONCLUSION BTCD represents a significant step forward in blockchain technology development – from speculative assets to genuine financial infrastructure. With its unique combination of AI, scalability, regulatory compliance, and commitment to financial inclusion, BTCD is not just the future of finance; it is the present, being built to serve the world.

HotDeals Officially Launches a New Price Comparison Service to Help Users Find the Best Deals with Ease
HotDeals has announced the launch of a new Price Comparison service , marking a notable expansion of its platform beyond traditional coupon discovery. The feature is designed to help users evaluate product prices more effectively, particularly in situations where discount codes are unavailable or limited. The new service allows users to paste a product URL from an online retailer directly into the HotDeals platform. Once submitted, the system analyzes real-time pricing data from multiple e-commerce sources, identifies comparable listings, and presents users with a clear overview of price differences across platforms. This approach provides shoppers with immediate context on how a product is priced across the market. Price comparison has become increasingly relevant as online pricing fluctuates frequently due to demand, inventory levels, and dynamic pricing algorithms used by major retailers. By consolidating pricing information into a single interface, HotDeals aims to reduce the time and effort typically required for manual price checks across multiple websites. According to HotDeals, the feature is intended to complement its existing database of coupons and promotional offers rather than replace them. When a discount is available, users can still apply promo codes; when none exist, the price comparison tool ensures shoppers can still assess whether they are paying a competitive price. The service also provides visibility into pricing patterns, helping users better understand whether a deal reflects a genuine discount or a standard market price. This added transparency supports more informed purchasing decisions, especially for higher-value items where small price differences can be significant. With the introduction of price comparison, HotDeals continues to evolve as a broader shopping research platform. The company stated that future updates will focus on improving data accuracy, expanding merchant coverage, and refining tools that help users navigate increasingly complex online pricing environments. More information about HotDeals and its tools is available at 👉 https://www.hotdeals.com/

Briton Davis Sets a New Standard for Structured Growth in Trade Businesses
In an industry built on skill, speed, and service, many trade businesses still struggle with one critical challenge: sustainable growth. While HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general contracting companies are essential to the economy, too many owners find themselves trapped in day-to-day operations with little time to build systems that allow their businesses to scale. That’s where Briton Davis has focused his work. With deep experience across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general contracting, Davis has become known for helping trade professionals move from reactive operations to structured, scalable businesses—without losing the craftsmanship and values that define the trades. From Trade Operator to Strategic Builder Davis didn’t enter the trades as a consultant. His background is rooted in hands-on industry experience, working directly within service businesses and understanding firsthand where breakdowns occur—sales processes that lack consistency, pricing models that fail to protect margins, teams without clear performance metrics, and owners who are overworked but under-supported. Rather than offering theory, Davis focuses on execution. His approach centers on building repeatable systems that allow trade companies to grow intentionally instead of relying on hustle alone. A Cross-Trade Perspective That Matters What separates Davis from many business advisors is his cross-trade expertise. By working across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general contracting, he helps business owners apply proven principles that work regardless of trade: Structured sales processes that increase close rates while improving customer trust Clear financial visibility so owners understand true profitability Operational systems that support growth without chaos Leadership frameworks that help teams perform without micromanagement This multi-discipline perspective allows Davis to identify patterns that individual trade owners often miss when working in isolation. Growth Built on Credibility, Not Hype In an era where online advice is abundant but results are rare, Davis emphasizes practicality over promotion. His work focuses on measurable improvements—stronger margins, better conversion rates, improved team accountability, and clearer growth plans. Trade businesses don’t need more motivation. They need clarity, structure, and execution. Davis’ work reflects that belief. Why Trade Businesses Are Paying Attention As demand for skilled trades continues to grow, so does competition. Companies that succeed long-term will be those that operate like professional businesses, not just skilled service providers. Davis’ message resonates because it respects the trades while elevating how they operate. His work helps owners build businesses that can grow beyond the owner, attract better talent, and deliver consistent results for customers. Looking Ahead The trades are evolving. Customers expect professionalism, speed, and transparency. Teams expect leadership and opportunity. Owners expect their businesses to provide both income and freedom. By focusing on systems, accountability, and sustainable growth, Briton Davis is helping trade businesses meet those expectations—and set a higher standard for what modern trade companies can become.

Small businesses employ nearly half of the U.S. private workforce, yet most lack access to advanced analytics used by larger enterprises. SmartScale AI, founded by Columbia-trained data scientist Lin He, aims to close that gap through an AI platform designed specifically for forecasting sales, managing inventory, optimizing staffing, and predicting operational load. Today, the company announced the expansion of a national multi-city pilot program with small businesses in Hawaii , New York , and Los Angeles , marking a significant step in scaling intelligent decision-making tools for the 33 million small businesses that underpin the U.S. economy. “Small businesses generate tremendous economic value, but they are still underserved by modern AI technology,” said Lin He, Founder and CEO of SmartScale AI. “Our goal is to make enterprise-grade forecasting and optimization tools accessible to every local business owner.” Multi-State, Multi-Industry Pilot Expansion SmartScale AI is currently partnering with a diverse group of organizations whose operational challenges represent the broader U.S. small-business landscape. The pilot program is currently active across three major U.S. regions : California (Los Angeles area) — logistics warehouses, creative retail, arts education programs New York — mental health and professional service practices Hawaii — tourism-driven retail and surf-related businesses Participating businesses span multiple sectors, including logistics and warehousing, mental health services, after-school education programs, independent retail studios, and tourism-facing small enterprises. “Small businesses experience constant demand uncertainty, but most lack the predictive tools needed to plan ahead,” said Lin He, Founder of SmartScale AI. “Our goal is to make responsible, practical AI accessible to the businesses that power local economies.” "We deliberately designed our pilot program to test across different industries and regions," He explained. "A solution that only works for one type of business isn't really solving the problem. Our platform's modular architecture—the same approach I used to build systems serving millions of users across multiple games at Zynga—enables us to serve a surf school in Hawaii and a healthcare clinic in California through the same underlying technology." From Academic Research to Real-World Deployment SmartScale AI is grounded in peer-reviewed research and applied machine learning. In 2025, He’s work was accepted into two international academic conferences: Multimodal Sentiment Analysis for SME Reviews: A Hybrid Model Integrating BERT-BiLSTM-Attention with Visual Feature Fusion (MVIIPR 2025) A Unified AI Platform for Forecasting Sales, Traffic, and Operational Loads in SMBs (AIETDS 2026) These studies form the technical foundation of SmartScale AI’s platform, which integrates demand forecasting, sentiment analysis, workforce optimization, and operational load modeling into a unified system designed specifically for small business use. Unlike traditional consulting engagements, SmartScale AI is structured as a standardized SaaS platform that can be deployed remotely and scaled across regions and industries. Structured Pilot Program and Measurable Outcomes The SmartScale AI pilot follows a structured deployment lifecycle commonly used in enterprise and research-driven technology programs: Testing Phase – technical feasibility and data validation Research Phase – exploratory modeling and KPI definition Pilot Phase – three-month operational deployment Adoption Phase – post-pilot subscription and expansion Pilot performance is evaluated using measurable indicators such as forecasting accuracy, inventory efficiency, scheduling improvements, and operational cost reduction. Businesses that achieve defined success metrics may elect to adopt the platform through a paid implementation following the pilot period. Research results suggest meaningful improvements in planning accuracy and resource utilization, particularly in environments with seasonal demand, variable customer traffic, and complex staffing requirements. Supporting Small-Business Modernization at Scale SmartScale AI’s mission aligns with broader national efforts to modernize small businesses through responsible AI adoption, productivity enhancement, and digital infrastructure development. By reducing the analytics gap between large enterprises and small businesses, the platform aims to strengthen local economies and improve operational resilience across industries. “AI should not be reserved for the largest companies,” He added. “When small businesses have better planning tools, the benefits extend to employees, customers, and communities nationwide.” A Nationwide Rollout Strategy SmartScale AI plans to expand access through a four-phase national rollout: Pilot Deployment (2026–2027): Honolulu, New York City, Los Angeles West Coast Expansion: Partnerships with chambers of commerce, SBDCs, and retail associations National Integration: Plug-and-play modules for Shopify, Square, WooCommerce, and QuickBooks Training & Workforce Enablement: Free AI literacy workshops, community-college collaborations, and small-business bootcamps The platform is designed for frictionless onboarding, allowing businesses across the U.S. to adopt forecasting tools without specialized IT support. About SmartScale AI SmartScale AI is a mission-driven B2B SaaS company dedicated to closing the AI adoption gap for America's small businesses. The platform delivers enterprise-grade predictive analytics—including demand forecasting, inventory optimization, workforce scheduling, dynamic pricing, and customer retention modeling—through an accessible, affordable cloud-based solution.
