PURA Announces Hemp Growers Cryptocurrency Carbon Credit Plan

Puration, Inc. (OTC Pink: PURA) today released more details behind the company’s cryptocurrency initiative to connect hemp growers with the income potential from the carbon sequestering benefit of hemp cultivation.

PURA recently published an update following the release of the company’s 2021 annual report.  The update centered on the company’s overall 2021 transition from a CBD beverage operation into a much more broadly focused industrial hemp company.  The industrial hemp market is an exponentially larger opportunity than our previous CBD beverage focus.  The company is releasing a series of additional updates focused on specifics of the growing industrial hemp business.

PURA believes connecting a CO2 standardized measurement for the carbon sequestered by hemp with a cryptocurrency that represents the carbon credit value of the sequestered carbon can create meaningful income for hemp growers that adds to the income generated from selling hemp fiber and extracts.

“Hemp is a carbon sequestering heavyweight, one of the most carbon-gobbling crops in agriculture. On average, an acre of hemp sequesters about 11,000 pounds, or 5 metric tons of CO2 throughout photosynthesis during its growth cycle, according to New Frontier Data.” (Let’s Talk Hemp)

Work is already under way to create a recognized CO2 measurement standard for hemp cultivation – learn more.

At least one cryptocurrency backed by carbon credits has also already been created.

“It was not long ago that Tesla added carbon credit sales to its auto sales to generate its first profit,” commented Brian Shibley, CEO of PURA. “Certainly, hemp farmers should be eligible to take advantage of this same opportunity.”

In an effort to provide immediate help to hemp farmers, PURA has engaged with a third party to structure a cryptocurrency that will first link with the hemp crop income potential while working to certify the carbon credit opportunity.  The hemp crop potential will help farmers with the up-front cultivation expenses.  Both the cryptocurrency owner and the hemp farmer will maintain carbon credit upside potential.

The initial structure of the hemp farming carbon credit cryptocurrency ecosystem is expected to be completed within the next two weeks.  PURA will publish the initial ecosystem structure and look for feedback.

Tokens.com Shares Positive Outlook on Ethereum Merge

Tokens.com Corp. (NEO Exchange Canada: COIN)(Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) (“Tokens.com” or the “Company”), a publicly-traded company that invests in Web3 assets and builds businesses linked to crypto staking, the metaverse and play-to-earn gaming, shares its positive outlook on the upcoming Ethereum Merge and the impact to its staking business segment.

Ethereum, the most widely used blockchain for NFTs and Web3 metaverses, will be making a significant processing upgrade on or about September 15th. The upgrade, called the ‘Merge’, marks the transition from a proof-of-work mechanism, performed by crypto miners, to a proof-of-stake mechanism, performed by crypto stakers.

The upgrade will require 99.9% less energy consumption to validate transactions than the previous mining process. As a result, the Ethereum blockchain will no longer require miners, who will be fully replaced by stakers, like Tokens.com. The upgrade will also allow Ethereum to achieve greater scale, with faster transaction speeds and lower transaction fees. Ethereum’s native token, ETH, is the second largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin with a market capitalization of approximately $200 billion.

Tokens.com has been staking ETH at scale since early 2021 and owns over 3,100 ETH. Tokens.com anticipates no impact to its operations through the completion of the Merge other than increased revenues. Subsequent to the Merge, it is expected that the compensation for staking ETH will increase from current levels.

“We have been early adopters of the shift to staking and are one of the first public companies to own and stake ETH at scale,” said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Tokens.com. “Long-term mass adoption of Web3 and crypto requires a move to environmentally friendly processes. As a result, we have continued staking Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot and other layer one blockchains used in the creation of NFTs, metaverses and play-to-earn video games.”

Tokens.com is committed to only investing in tokens compatible with a staking platform due to its increased energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. In addition to its ETH token ownership, Tokens.com owns Polkadot and Solana used for its staking business, amongst other tokens.

About Tokens.com

Tokens.com Corp is a publicly traded company that invests in Web3 assets and builds Web3 businesses. The Company focuses on three operating segments: i) crypto staking, ii) the metaverse and, iii) play-to-earn crypto gaming. Tokens.com owns digital assets and operating businesses within each of these three segments.

Staking operations occur within Tokens.com. Metaverse operations occur within a subsidiary called Metaverse Group. Crypto gaming operations occur within a subsidiary called Hulk Labs. All three businesses are tied together by the utilization of blockchain technology and are linked to high-growth macro trends within Web3. Through sharing resources and infrastructure across these business segments, Tokens.com is able to efficiently incubate these businesses from inception to revenue generation.
