Blockmate subsidiary, Hivello, launches its passive income application in public beta

Blockmate Ventures Inc (TSX.V: MATE) (OTCQB: MATEF) (FSE: 8MH1) (“

Blockmate

” or the “

Company

”) is pleased to announce that its investee, Hivello Holdings, has launched a public beta version of its passive income application at www.Hivello.com.

The Hivello Windows app was private beta launched in May 2024 and has generated significant interest with almost 30,000 users subscribing to the waitlist. The platform simplifies Web3 DePIN mining for novices that want to apply unused computing power to generate passive income and contribute to the growing global network of decentralised digital infrastructure.

The increasing prominence of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) is further solidifying the opportunity for Hivello. DePIN enables the decentralized sharing of physical assets, offering an efficient, peer-to-peer alternative to traditional centralized systems. Messari projects this sector to reach $3.5 trillion by 2028 (https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbestechcouncil/2024/07/02/the-quiet-rise-of-depin-why-you-should-pay-attention-to-decentralized-physical-infrastructures-networks/).

Domenic Carosa, Chairman of Hivello and Blockmate Board Director, said, “As the DePIN sector continues to gain traction, Hivello’s team is focused on adding more revenue generating DePIN’s to the Hivello platform allowing us to grow as the demand for decentralized infrastructure rises.”

Justin Rosenberg, CEO of Blockmate, said, “With DePIN becoming a key focal point for venture capital investment and development, Blockmate’s circa 50%1 stake in Hivello represents a unique opportunity to gain exposure to a promising platform at the forefront of this transformation. As Hivello prepares for its next phase of growth, Blockmate Ventures stands to benefit from the increasing interest in decentralized infrastructure solutions, further reinforcing the value of its investment in Hivello.”
