CyberCharge Joins Forces with ICB Network to Democratize Scalable, Cost-efficient Web3 Smart Charging Access

The post CyberCharge Joins Forces with ICB Network to Democratize Scalable, Cost-efficient Web3 Smart Charging Access appeared com. ICB Network, a Layer-1 blockchain that powers users with scalable, fast, and cost-friendly applications, today announced a strategic collaboration with CyberCharge, a DePIN infrastructure that allows users to charge devices and earn tokens. Through this partnership, the two platforms (ICB Network and CyberCharge) joined their fast-processing blockchain network and DePIN decentralized charging ecosystem to democratize and make smart charging access cheaper for everyone. CyberCharge is a DePIN Web3 charging ecosystem running several decentralized networks of smart chargers. These distributed smart chargers across the globe allow people to charge their electronic devices, enabling them to earn token rewards for every charge and connect them with real-world decentralized applications, making Web3 accessible. ⚡ DePIN Integration: ICB Network x CyberCharge We are excited to announce a strategic DePIN integration with @CyberChargeWeb3, the world’s first Charge-to-Earn smart charging device. pic. twitter. com/ZRMU62jnos ICB Network (@icbx_network) November 23, 2025 CyberCharge Aims to Make Web3 Smart Charging More Affordable By integrating ICB Network’s Layer-1 Proof-of-Stake (POS) blockchain with CyberCharge’s DePIN ecosystem, the two platforms are set to redefine how people consume and access Web3 smart charging services. Once the integration is completed, this collaboration will make smart charging access services more rapid, secure, accessible, and cheaper for everyone as it will decentralize CyberCharge’s DePIN infrastructure, which is designed to provide smart charging connectivity. The partnership will help further decrease people’s dependence on centralized charging infrastructure and reduce costs for accessing charging services. CyberCharge’s DePIN ecosystem powers wide, diverse networks of Web3 smart chargers that allow people to charge various electronic devices like laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc. People can charge their devices using these distributed smart charging networks and earn token rewards from CyberCharge. Also, users can participate in games and social activities within the CyberCharge network and earn from such Web3 applications and several others. Through this.

Blockchain Is Fast Enough For Institutional Adoption. But What Else Does It Need?

The post Blockchain Is Fast Enough For Institutional Adoption. But What Else Does It Need? appeared com. If there’s one thing that blockchain has gotten better at over the years, it’s speed. Scalability is a major priority for just about every blockchain network today and significant progress has been made, resulting in dramatic increases in throughput. One of the best examples of this is Ethereum, which was once painfully slow at just a handful of transactions per second. But thanks to its transition to Proof-of-Stake and the emergence of Layer-2 scaling networks, it can now process thousands of transactions in seconds. The impressive strides made in blockchain scalability were illustrated in a recent report by a16z crypto, which found that the throughput has increased by more than 100-times in the last five years. The 2025 State of Crypto report looked at the average processing speed of dozens of major blockchain networks, and found that it’s now capable of processing an astonishing 3, 400 TPS, up from just 340 TPS five years ago. Those numbers suggest blockchain is now much faster than many of the world’s most reliable financial systems. For instance, the payments processor Strip was only able to process around 2, 300 TPS during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, while the Nasdaq stock exchange is capable of approximately 2, 400 TPS. No More Need For Speed Of course, decentralized networks still have room for improvement and cannot yet match the blazing-fast processing speeds of credit card networks like VISA, which can facilitate more than 24, 000 TPS. But it doesn’t need to attain such speeds to support most institutional requirements, said COTI CEO, Shahaf Bar Geffen. According to Geffen, blockchain is absolutely institutional-ready in terms of its ability to process transactions rapidly enough. “While there are always further improvements that can be made in terms of scalability, speed and cost are no longer deterrents,” he said. “If you’re building a.
