Lightchain AI Announces Final Presale Round After Securing $21 Million in Early Support
SHREWSBURY, United Kingdom, July 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lightchain AI , a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain platform purpose-built for decentralized artificial intelligence, has officially launched its Bonus Round after completing all 15 presale stages and raising more than $21 million in early contributions. This new phase offers fixed pricing at $0.007125 and is the final opportunity for supporters to gain early access ahead of the project's mainnet launch, scheduled for July 2025.
The successful conclusion of the presale demonstrates strong market interest and community confidence in Lightchain AI's long-term vision. Central to this vision is the integration of artificial intelligence into blockchain infrastructure through the Artificial Intelligence Virtual Machine (AIVM) and the project's proprietary Proof-of-Intelligence consensus mechanism. These innovations are designed to enable secure, low-latency AI execution within a fully decentralized ecosystem.
'With over $21 million raised and widespread developer engagement, Lightchain AI is entering a critical growth phase that positions it for real-world adoption and scalable use,' said a spokesperson from the Lightchain team.
The Bonus Round is backed by several ecosystem advancements already underway. Public GitHub repositories will be available at mainnet launch, providing transparency and encouraging open-source development. Additionally, the platform has introduced a $150,000 grant pool to support builders and innovators contributing to Lightchain's evolving ecosystem.
Key presale design elements—such as the complete reallocation of the original 5% Team Allocation to developer grants and protocol incentives—underscore the platform's community-first approach. Combined with transparent governance, active validator onboarding, and developer tools like APIs and SDKs, Lightchain AI is actively cultivating a sustainable, growth-oriented network.
This phase also introduces Lightchain's Meme Launchpad, a creative toolkit designed to help developers and content creators build and deploy Web3-native applications in an AI-enhanced environment. The platform's architecture features dynamic gas optimization and horizontal sharding to enable performance at scale, particularly for computation-heavy workloads.
Looking ahead, the Lightchain AI team is focused on expanding DeFi integrations and onboarding decentralized validator and contributor nodes in preparation for mainnet activation. These steps align with the project's broader mission: to accelerate decentralized AI adoption while maintaining network transparency, security, and community ownership.
Interested participants can join the Bonus Round and access Lightchain AI resources via the official website and community channels.

Global Ship Recycling Market to Reach $13 Billion by End of 2030
By GlobeNewswire Published on August 12, 2025, 23:36 IST Boston, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — According to the latest study from BCC Research, the 'Global Ship Recycling Market' is estimated to increase from $9.1 billion in 2025 to $13 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% from 2025 through 2030. The report presents a comprehensive analysis of the global ship recycling market, combining quantitative and qualitative insights to highlight the latest trends and developments. It evaluates market performance in terms of revenue, measured in millions of dollars. The market is segmented by vessel type, including bulk carriers, container ships, oil tankers, general cargo ships, and others. It also categorizes vessels by size: below 60,000 DWT, between 60,000 DWT and 125,000 DWT, and above 125,000 DWT. Additionally, the report examines ship recycling methods such as beaching, dry-docking, alongside/pier-breaking, and other emerging techniques. This report is especially relevant today due to the imminent enforcement of the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships. Although adopted in 2009, the convention officially came into force on June 26, 2025, introducing stricter global standards for ship recycling. Its primary objective is to ensure that ships, at the end of their operational life, are dismantled in a manner that minimizes risks to human health, safety, and the environment. This regulatory shift is expected to significantly impact industry practices, making timely insights and analysis crucial for stakeholders. The factors driving the market's growth include: Increasing Demand for Scrap Steel: Scrap steel recovered from dismantled ships is a valuable resource for steel production, especially in countries with growing infrastructure needs. It offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to producing new steel, driving demand for ship recycling. Increasing Age of the Global Shipping Fleet: Many ships in operation are nearing or have exceeded their optimal service life, making them inefficient and costly to maintain. As older vessels are phased out, they enter the recycling stream, providing a steady supply for the industry. Stringent Ship End-of-Life Regulations: International and regional regulations now require ships to be dismantled in safe, environmentally sound facilities. These rules promote responsible recycling practices, increasing demand for certified shipbreaking yards and boosting market growth.

Mellow Sleep Redefines Comfort with a Revolutionary New Cloud Pillow
Dover, Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DOVER, DE – August 11, 2025 – Mellow Sleep, a leader in sleep ergonomics and material science, today announced the launch of a revolutionary new cloud pillow designed to permanently solve the universal problem of restless, unfulfilling sleep. This launch marks a new era for sleep wellness, moving beyond one-size-fits-all solutions to offer a truly personalized and restorative experience. The frustrating, nightly search for a pillow that is 'just right' is finally over. Millions of people struggle with pillows that are too firm, too soft, too high, or too low, leading to neck pain, shoulder stiffness, and persistent fatigue. This nightly battle for comfort often involves folding, bunching, or stacking pillows in a desperate attempt to find support. Mellow Sleep addresses this issue at its core with a groundbreaking cloud pillow that intelligently adapts to the sleeper. This innovative pillow solves sleep discomfort through its proprietary 3-zone contour design. Each zone is meticulously engineered for a distinct biomechanical purpose. The central contour cradles the head with gentle, pressure-relieving support, while the raised outer edges are optimized for side sleepers, filling the gap between the shoulder and neck. The third zone provides a specialized cervical ramp that delivers a targeted lift, ensuring the spine maintains a natural and healthy alignment throughout the night. This integrated system prevents the awkward angles that lead to morning aches and pains. 'Our goal was to create the perfect cloud pillow by listening to the real-world frustrations of sleepers,' said Jay Yue, founder of Mellow Sleep. 'People are tired of compromising. They shouldn't have to choose between a soft feel and firm support. We spent years researching materials and ergonomics to find a way to deliver both. The result is our new CloudAlign™ Pillow, a product we believe sets a new industry standard for what a pillow can and should do for your well-being. It's more than just a place to rest your head; it's an investment in your health.' At the heart of this exceptional Mellow Sleep cloud pillow is the CloudSoft Core™, a proprietary shape-retaining memory foam. Unlike conventional foams that can be slow to respond or lose shape, the CloudSoft Core™ offers dynamic, flexible support that adapts instantly to every micro-movement. This ensures consistent comfort and alignment, whether you are a back, side, or combination sleeper. The exterior is just as thoughtfully designed. The pillow is encased in a removable, OEKO-TEX® Certified cover. This certification guarantees the fabric is free from harmful chemicals, making it hypoallergenic, breathable, and exceptionally gentle on the skin. Further enhancing its superior adaptability, the pillow features a SwitchFit™ design. This innovative feature gives users dual-height support, allowing them to simply flip the pillow to choose between a lower and a higher profile to perfectly match their body frame and sleep preference. For lasting hygiene, all materials are fast-drying and easily washable. This new Mellow Sleep cloud pillow from Mellow Sleep is now available for purchase directly from the company's website: offering an end to compromise and a new beginning for deep, restorative sleep. About Mellow Sleep: Mellow Sleep is a forward-thinking company dedicated to advancing human well-being through the science of sleep. By focusing on biomechanics, certified non-toxic materials, and user-centric design, Mellow Sleep creates innovative products that provide tangible improvements to sleep health. Their mission is to engineer a better night's sleep for a better life.
