Blockmate Ventures Inc (TSX.V: MATE) (OTCQB: MATEF) (FSE: 8MH1) (“Blockmate” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its investee, Hivello Holdings Ltd has partnered with U2U Network to explore the distribution of U2U nodes within the Hivello ecosystem.

U2U’s architecture supports more than 17,000 transactions per second (TPS) per sharding, with testing demonstrating 500,000 TPS across the network and a finality time of just 650 milliseconds. The network already powers a range of applications in the Internet-of-Things and Artificial Intelligence spaces, industries that are increasing their demand for computing power.

By integrating with U2U, the strategic partnership aims to leverage the Hivello network’s DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) capabilities to bolster the U2U network’s supply while increasing the passive earning capacity of Hivello users who can offer their idle computing power to the ecosystem through the Hivello app.

Justin Rosenberg, CEO of Blockmate Ventures, commented, "The Hivello team continues to expand their partner network through opportunities like this partnership with U2U Network that highlights the global demand for DePIN as more users capitalise on the simplicity of the Hivello app that connects users with buyers of their computing power.

“With Blockmate being the major shareholder of Hivello Holdings, it is pleasing to see more value being added to the Hivello ecosystem as strategic partnerships like these create more passive income opportunities for Hivello app users.”
