Specializing in providing blockchain-based application services for Web 3.0 ecosystems, BlockbeatHK utilizes blockchain interoperability, NFTs, stablecoins, and smart contract technologies. Its client spans across a wide range of sectors, including global digital banking, metaverse platforms, e-commerce platforms, and more. Locolla Limited is Hong Kong’s sole bike-sharing operator. Since launching its services in Hong Kong in 2017, it has served over 600,000 riders. Locolla offers residents and visitors an array of low-carbon, environmentally friendly travel options, including shared bicycles and electric mobility devices. Through its self-developed technologies and products, Locolla aims to provide the public with healthy, green, and efficient options for daily commuting and travel. Previously, BlockbeatHK established a formal partnership with LocoBike, providing SPARK Pay, a Web3.0 business encrypted payment solution, to support LocoBike’s payments.
This initiative provides new users who register a SPARK Wallet through the LocoBike app with a giveaway package of IRIS Tokens. Each giveaway package can be used to redeem a HK$59 LocoBike day pass. IRISnet (also known as IRISHUB) is an Interchain NFT Hub designed for next-generation business dApps. Built using the Cosmos SDK, it facilitates cross-chain interoperability of NFTs, services, and on/off-chain systems. The IRIS Token serves as both the incentive and utility token of the IRISnet network, bridging the gap between blockchains and real-world business systems.
SPARK Pay, developed by BlockbeatHK using cutting-edge Web 3.0 and privacy computing technologies such as Abstract Accounts and Zero-Knowledge Proofs, is an enterprise-level encrypted wallet and payment solution. It aims to help traditional businesses easily embrace Web 3.0 and accept mainstream-compliant cryptocurrency payments. Its decentralized features allow merchants to manage assets independently, eliminating custody risks and the need to manage mnemonic phrases. Even if passwords are lost, users can quickly recover assets through social recovery features. SPARK Pay offers several key features, including T+0 payment settlement, rapid API integration, support for multiple mainstream networks and currencies, a comprehensive merchant management system, and detailed reporting functions. These features enhance efficiency and security for various e-commerce and trade platforms, expand payment demographics, and meet the diverse needs of both consumers and merchants.
Moreover, users can freely choose from various mainstream wallets for payments through SPARK Pay, including SPARK Wallet and Coinbase Wallet, among others. SPARK Wallet not only offers simple operations but also integrates numerous merchants, providing users with greater convenience. This giveaway activity will be distributed via SPARK Wallet, offering users opportunities to obtain more goods and services in future giveaway initiatives.
After the initial three-month period, BlockbeatHK will continue to collaborate with LocoBike from November 2024 to January 2025, targeting SPARK Wallet users with further giveaway packages. Users who participate in the first three-month giveaway package and complete payments will have the opportunity to receive larger giveaway packages. Stay tuned for more updates!
