” or the “

Company

”) is pleased to announce that its investee, Hivello Holdings will be undertaking a native token launch for its platform which will be supported by three new commercial partners.

The token launch is scheduled for August 30, 2024 with the token to provide utility within the Hivello DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) platform.

The Hivello Windows app was private beta launched in May 2024 and has generated significant interest with more than 20,000 users subscribing to the waitlist. The platform simplifies Web3 mining for novices that want to apply unused computing power to generate passive income.

Blockmate owns a 67% stake in Hivello which successfully completed an upsized US$2.5 million funding round with its latest pre-money valuation of $9 million in February 2024.

Top 20 Finalist - Proof of Talk Conference

Blockmate is also pleased to report that Hivello qualified in the Top 20 startups at the Proof of Talk Conference in Paris on June 10, 2024. The assessor shared:

“The solution is innovative in its approach to aggregating multiple DePIN nodes into a single, user-friendly console. This level of integration and simplification is not commonly seen in the current market. It is also hard to copy due to the technical expertise required to manage multiple blockchain processes seamlessly and securely.”

Below is the press release from Hivello:
