AQA Announces Joint Listing on Gate.io and MEXC: Ushering in a New Era of Real-World Web3 Integration

New York, NY – AQA, an emerging Web3 ecosystem that bridges blockchain technology with real-world applications, is pleased to announce its official token listing on two Tier 1 centralized exchanges, Gate.io and MEXC, scheduled for April 16, 2025, at 11:00 AM UTC. This highly anticipated dual listing marks a major milestone in AQA’s journey to bring Web3 to the mainstream by combining digital innovation with physical utility and community empowerment.

With a mission to build the foundation of a digital city powered by blockchain, AQA offers a unique blend of decentralized tools and real-world services, including an NFT marketplace, token staking (both collaborating with CEXs and on its own platform), SocialFi incentives, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The listing on Gate.io and MEXC provides global visibility and accessibility for the AQA token, strengthening the project’s ecosystem and accelerating adoption across Asia and beyond.

Bridging Blockchain and Real Life

AQA is designed to solve one of Web3’s most pressing challenges: relevance and usability beyond the crypto-native space. By combining blockchain infrastructure with real-world applications in retail, entertainment, education, and culture, AQA delivers a unique user experience that empowers individuals and businesses alike.

The core of the project is AQA DIGITAL CITY, a decentralized ecosystem where users can mint digital identities, trade NFTs, participate in community campaigns, and use tokens in both online and offline environments. Through partnerships with over 50 local businesses and institutions in Japan, AQA enables blockchain-based interactions at the neighborhood level in the near future, making Web3 accessible and practical for non-technical users.

This dual nature of digital-native infrastructure and physical-world integration makes AQA one of the most grounded and scalable Web3 platforms to emerge in Asia.

Joint Initial Listing on Gate.io and MEXC

The decision to launch simultaneously on Gate.io and MEXC, two of the most respected leading exchanges in the industry, reflects AQA’s ambition to scale quickly and securely. These exchanges provide access to millions of global users, deep liquidity pools, and trusted platforms for new token discovery.

The AQA/USDT trading pairs will go live on both platforms at 11:00 AM UTC on April 16, 2025.

The listing is expected to significantly boost AQA’s global reach, enabling new users to join the ecosystem and increasing the token’s trading volume and overall visibility. It also allows AQA to:

  • Expand its international investor base
  • Support healthy token liquidity and price discovery
  • Launch exchange-led promotions including airdrops, staking campaigns, and other events
  • Reach users across emerging and developed Web3 markets

Both Gate.io and MEXC will support joint marketing campaigns around the listing to introduce AQA to their global communities.

AQA Token Utility and Ecosystem Integration

The AQA token is the central unit of value within the AQA ecosystem. It plays multiple roles:

  • Grants: Enjoy a variety of incentives as a holder of the AQA Citizenship NFT
  • Community Rewards: Earn rewards for your contributions on the AQA Forum and SocialFi
  • Payment Benefits: Use your NFTs for services in our marketplace and affiliated stores
  • Staking: Receive staking rewards and gain access to exclusive events
  • RWA (Real World Assets): Invest in real-world assets and participate in the operation of various facilities

Designed for long-term sustainability, the AQA token supports a circular economy where users contribute to, and benefit from, the value they help create.

Regional Expansion: Japan’s SETOUCHI (Seto Inland Sea) Area as Web3 Sanctuary (Hub)

One of AQA’s key differentiators is its strong presence in SETOUCHI, Japan, where the project is rolling out real-world blockchain integration through collaborations with local governments, businesses, and institutions.

Currently, AQA is collaborating with over 50 stores along with local governments, primarily in Japan’s SETOUCHI region. We’re already seeing real-world use cases, such as in-store payments with AQA tokens and the distribution of original NFTs at art and music events. This region is set to become a Web3 model zone, demonstrating how decentralized infrastructure can boost economic activity, entertainment, and cultural innovation in real communities.

This grassroots-first strategy ensures AQA’s adoption is not just speculative but grounded in practical, high-impact use.

Key Milestones and Future Plans

The dual listing on Gate.io and MEXC is just the beginning of an ambitious roadmap. In the coming months, AQA plans to:

  • Expand listings to additional Tier 1 and regional exchanges
  • Launch advanced staking and SocialFi features
  • Introduce NFT-based access and event services
  • Roll out AQA Digital Citizenship ID to unlock personalized platform experiences

The project will also continue to engage non-crypto users through educational campaigns, Web3 onboarding support for SMEs, and real-world token utility.

Maximize Human Potential with Blockchain Technology

AQA’s slogan is to maximize human potential with blockchain technology by making Web3 tools available to everyone, not just developers and early adopters. The platform is built to empower users through digital ownership, economic participation, and transparent engagement models.

AQA aims to build a Web3 society that goes beyond speculation, one that is sustainable and highly trustworthy. Our mission is to drive real-world progress and human advancement through blockchain technology, across a wide range of fields including regional revitalization, food, housing, transportation, education, healthcare, sports, entertainment, and art.

‘The Sound of Chunhyang Opens the World’ – The 95th Namwon Chunhyang Festival to Kick Off on April 30

Namwon, Korea – 16/04/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – Motivated by the Joseon Dynasty’s Chunhyang love story, the festival sees a growing number of foreign visitors engaging in K-culture experiences.

Korea’s oldest traditional regional festival, soon to mark its 100th anniversary, aims to attract 2 million visitors. A classic Korean love story comparable to “Romeo and Juliet” is now gaining global attention as a cultural festival celebrating K-culture experiences. The spotlight is on the Chunhyang Festival, held in Namwon, Jeollabuk-do Special Self-Governing Province, the hometown of love and tradition.

The name ‘Chunhyang’ in the festival comes from the heroine of “The Tale of Chunhyang,” a traditional Korean love story handed down from the Joseon Dynasty, symbolizing love and fidelity. The story has been reinterpreted with a modern sensibility and transformed into a regional cultural festival enjoyed by people of all ages.

The Namwon Chunhyang Festival, which began in 1931 and celebrates its 95th edition this year, is the oldest regional festival in Korea and one of the most beloved traditional cultural events. Selected as an outstanding festival by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and ranked first in the traditional arts category, it has grown into a nationally recognized regional event. Last year, it welcomed 1.2 million visitors, positioning itself as a global festival that draws international attention.

The 95th Chunhyang Festival will take place from April 30 to May 6 across Namwon’s Gwanghallu Garden and the Yocheon Stream area. Under the theme “The Sound of Chunhyang Opens the World,” the festival will feature 100 diverse programs in anticipation of its centennial anniversary.

Chunhyang Festival Connecting Past, Present, and the World Through Sound

This year’s main concept of Chunhyang Festival is ‘sound’. A variety of musical performances will be presented to allow people from around the world to relate and enjoy together. Aspiring to become a high-quality global music festival, the event will be organized around three themes: the Sound of Korea, the Sound of the World, and the Sound of Fusion.

Highlights include a 300-member civic choir, traditional Korean music performances, international ensemble exchanges, a K-pop dance competition, and the Chunhyang Ball. These diverse performances will be staged throughout Namwon, with nightly shows at Gwanghalluwon Garden offering unforgettable moments.

As the festival is centered on the theme of sound, there will also be performances by band music teams that can communicate with various generations beyond Korean national music. On May 5 and 6, the outdoor stage at Love Square will host the national band contest “Let PungROCK Resound!” Featuring a mix of intense genres like rock, metal, and punk with smoother ones like blues and jazz, the contest will provide citizens and visitors with a rich musical experience.

Throughout the week, the “One Day Spring Dream Concert” will showcase modern Korean traditional music alongside pop artists. Each day will feature performances by pop singers, international artists, music bands, and orchestras, captivating audiences with both sight and sound.

Immersive Korean Traditional Culture Experiences in Hanbok

Hanbok, the traditional Korean attire that gained global fame through BTS and BLACKPINK’s music video and performances, is now a must-do experience for international visitors. With its graceful colors, patterns, and textures, Hanbok rental is available throughout the Chunhyang Festival for guests to fully immerse themselves in Korean culture.

During the week of the Chunhyang Festival, event staff members wear traditional hanbok to greet visitors. Visitors, too, can freely walk around the festival grounds dressed in hanbok of their choice, which they can personally select and rent, fully immersing themselves in the atmosphere of traditional Korean culture.

Not only foreign visitors but also numerous citizens of all ages enjoy the festival programs wearing hanbok. Throughout the festival grounds, photo zones are set up where visitors dressed in hanbok can take commemorative photos, capturing the memorable moments of the Chunhyang Festival.

Hanbok wearers can also take part in various cultural programs for a deeper experience. At Gwanghalluwon Garden, visitors can participate in tea ceremonies using prepared tea leaves, spinning a bowl games, traditional cup and ball games, and enjoy master performances at the historic Gwanghallu Pavilion, a National Treasure No. 281. The comedic “Pumba” performances in the canola flower fields will allow participants to special experience Chunhyang’s world firsthand.

Popular programs such as the “Daedong Street Performance” street parade and “Hanbok Ball” will also be held. The Daedong Street Performance parade, themed after the Tale of Chunhyang, features citizen participation along with special international performers, taekwondo demonstrations, and police motorcycle parades, offering a vibrant spectacle. With people of all ages and nationalities joining the parade, the entire city of Namwon will be filled with music and excitement.

Namwon’s multilingual tourism information system will help all visitors enjoy the festival with ease.

A Feast for the Five Senses: Family Zone, Camping Zone, and Food Zone

Evolving from a traditional cultural festival to a global event nearing its 100th year, the Chunhyang Festival will feature a dedicated “Family Zone” at Love Square, ensuring convenience for families with young children.

The Family Zone includes amusement rides, various performance programs, food trucks, and amenities. Popular attractions like air bouncers, Viking rides, and disco pang-pang, along with circus acts, bubble shows, and magic shows, will keep families entertained. Finger food-friendly food trucks and comfortable rest areas, including nursing rooms, are also provided.

Four free shuttle bus routes will be in operation for easier access to the venue, running every 20 minutes from 10 AM to 11 PM. To accommodate the expected surge in visitors, car camping and camping zones will be established in six areas, including Yocheon Eco Park and Geumam Park, accommodating up to 340 vehicles including caravans and passenger cars.

A wide variety of foods made using local specialties will also be available. A barbecue zone, a traditional food court, and a food truck zone within the Family Zone will be in operation, and visitors will also be able to enjoy cocktails made with Namwon’s traditional liquor at various spots throughout the venue. In particular, the traditional food court operated directly by local residents offers a chance to experience and savor the diverse flavors of K-Food that has recently captured the taste buds of people around the world.

Nights Brighter Than Days: Night Views, Music, and Fireworks

The nights of the Chunhyang Festival shine even brighter than the days. A 3-hectare field of canola flowers along the Yocheon Stream sets the backdrop for breathtaking sunsets and golden blooms. With scenic lighting and photo zones, visitors can also enjoy the canola flower field at night.

Traditional Korean lanterns, Cheongsachorong, placed throughout Namwon, will cast a warm glow, symbolizing love and hope. The fireworks at the festival’s opening and closing ceremonies will add a spectacular finale, leaving lasting memories of this spring’s most special moments.

Captain Carlos Rodriguez is Building Business Beyond the Cockpit

Boca Raton, Florida, United States, 16th Apr 2025 – Carlos Rodriguez’s aviation journey isn’t confined to the cockpit. While he first made his mark as a pilot, he later ventured into business, translating his airborne expertise into entrepreneurial success. In recent years, Rodriguez has founded and led companies that serve specialized needs in aviation – each built with the same dedication he brought to flying.

A Gulfstream business jet taxiing on the tarmac, representing the kind of aircraft Rodriguez operates and manages. It began with a vision to elevate private air travel services in his home country. In 2022, Rodriguez – together with his wife as co-founder – established Aero Servicios AC Corp, commonly known as Aero Services. Drawing on his insider knowledge of what executive travelers and aircraft owners need, he built Aero Services into a bespoke aviation firm providing private charter flights and comprehensive flight support. “We wanted to offer an experience where clients feel as safe and cared for as if they had an ace pilot in the family,” Rodriguez says of the venture’s inspiration. As a seasoned aviator himself, he ensured that safety protocols at Aero Services met the highest standards. 

Under his leadership, the company quickly distinguished itself by organizing charter flights with impeccable reliability and personalized service. Rodriguez oversaw the establishment of a robust flight support and logistics backbone – handling details like fuel stops, permits, and ground handling – so that every client’s journey would be seamless from start to finish. Before long, Aero Services expanded beyond passenger flights by offering aircraft management for private jet owners, taking care of maintenance, crew hiring, and regulatory compliance on their behalf. By setting up this end-to-end service, Rodriguez filled a gap in the local market, enabling businesses and individuals to enjoy private aviation without the usual headaches.

Getting an aviation startup off the ground was no small feat, but Rodriguez navigated the challenges with determination. Early on, he faced regulatory hurdles and had to educate a new market about on-demand private flying. He tackled each challenge methodically, often drawing on his flight-planning skills to optimize the company’s operations. His hands-on involvement at every level gave clients confidence that Aero Services was run by someone who truly understood aviation. Rodriguez personally recruited experienced pilots and maintenance experts, implemented rigorous training programs, and even sat in on early flights to ensure everything ran smoothly. This attention to detail and quality quickly built Aero Services’ reputation as a trustworthy name in private aviation.

No sooner had Aero Services taken off than Rodriguez set his sights on another segment of the industry. In 2023, he co-founded Volark LLC, an aviation parts and services business based in Florida. Having seen firsthand how an aircraft grounded for want of a single part can disrupt operations, Rodriguez partnered with an industry colleague to streamline the supply of aviation components. He holds a 50% stake in Volark, which focuses on sourcing and delivering certified aircraft parts swiftly to corporate flight departments and individual jet owners. Though Volark operates an ocean away, Rodriguez remains deeply involved – frequently jumping on late-night calls from Manila to coordinate logistics and ensure urgent orders are met. The company has quickly gained a reputation for reliability and fair pricing, reflecting its founders’ combined expertise. By helping operators minimize downtime, Volark has become an invaluable resource to its clients.

Central to all these ventures is Rodriguez’s signature leadership style. He leads from the front and understands every detail of his operations – a rare quality that earns his team’s respect. Employees know their boss has done it all himself, which inspires confidence and loyalty. Rodriguez is quick to credit his wife as well, calling her the “co-pilot” of their business endeavors for her role in strategy and finance. Together, they have built a growing aviation enterprise grounded on trust, quality, and innovation.

Despite the rapid expansion of his business portfolio, Rodriguez remains remarkably hands-on. One day he’s at the hangar inspecting a newly acquired aircraft for a client, and the next he’s in the boardroom mapping out plans for the next quarter. This dual identity – an ace pilot and an astute businessman – places him in a league of his own. Industry colleagues describe him as someone equally comfortable at a flight briefing or a strategy meeting, adept at bridging the technical and commercial sides of aviation.

As Carlos Rodriguez continues to steer his companies toward new horizons, one thing is clear: the qualities that made him an extraordinary pilot – vision, precision, and integrity – are the same forces behind his success in business. He has shown that combining operational excellence with entrepreneurial courage can truly make dreams take flight in a whole new way. His story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the best way to lead is to chart your own course, both in the air and in the business world.

From launching a private charter service to co-founding an aviation parts company, Rodriguez has taken his passion for flying into the world of entrepreneurship – proving that his leadership soars as high as his airplanes.

No more power worries, stay ready to go

At the heart of the CE-LINK motorhome power solution is the 3000W portable power station with an impressive 2560Wh battery capacity. When charging a motorhome, it delivers 2180Wh of usable energy in just 45 minutes, ensuring that motorhome users can charge quickly when they need it most. 

Caravan owners can rely on this power system to power essential equipment such as lights, fans, refrigerators and entertainment systems. If the average power consumption of an RV is 1,000W, the portable power station can provide up to 130 minutes of continuous power. This fast-charging feature allows RV owners to get on the road quickly, even with high power consumption, without long waits.

Sustainable energy for a greener future

The CE-LINK RV power solution is also equipped with two collapsible 400W solar panels that take full advantage of the sun’s energy to provide a constant energy input. The solar panels utilize monocrystalline silicon cells with an outer layer of high transmittance ETFE material, thus providing a cell efficiency of 23.40%. 

During the day, RV owners can unfold the two solar panels and fully charge the 3000W portable power station in just 4 hours. Alternatively, users can fix the solar panels to the roof of the caravan and access the caravan’s battery via the charge controller to directly power the caravan’s electrical system, further extending the caravan’s range when disconnected from external power sources. With solar power, RV owners can continue to be off-grid longer and enjoy the freedom of wilderness camping and road trips without worrying about running out of power.

Smart and user-friendly design

This RV power solution is designed for effortless installation and use. The portable power station features a clear LCD display that provides real-time updates on remaining battery life, input/output power, and system status—keeping users informed at a glance. The foldable solar panel is easy to set up and store, making off-grid energy more convenient than ever.

Reliable and secure power

CE-LINK always puts power safety in the first place. The power solution is equipped with an excellent Battery Management System (BMS) that monitors voltage, current, and temperature in real time to prevent overcharging, discharging, and overheating, giving users peace of mind when using the device. 

Meanwhile, the rugged enclosure of the portable power station protects the internal components from impact, dust, and moisture, making it ideal for outdoor adventures and harsh conditions.

“CE-LINK’s RV power solution significantly reduces the carbon footprint; it produces no greenhouse gas emissions or pollution,” said Wesely, Product Manager at CE-LINK. “It’s the ideal solution for eco-friendly travelers looking to minimize their impact on nature.”

Dennis Pappas Publishes New Blog Post on The Rise of Biophilic Design

New York, US, 16th April 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Acclaimed landscape architect Dennis Pappas has published a new blog article titled The Rise of Biophilic Design, examining the growing global movement to reconnect people with nature through built environments. Drawing on his 20+ years of experience in sustainable urban design, Pappas highlights the principles, benefits, and practical applications of biophilic design in today’s cities—especially in high-density environments like New York.

In the post, Pappas outlines how biophilic design goes beyond adding plants to buildings. It’s about creating emotional, sensory, and ecological connections between people and the natural world. “We’re hardwired for nature,” Pappas writes. “When we bring natural elements into our spaces—sunlight, greenery, water—we’re not just improving aesthetics. We’re improving health, focus, and well-being.”

The blog explores how biophilic principles are being applied across architecture, landscape design, and interior planning—from green roofs and living walls to natural materials, daylighting, and multisensory experiences. Pappas also addresses how cities can implement these ideas equitably and affordably in public spaces, schools, and housing.

“Biophilic design isn’t just a trend—it’s a response to how disconnected we’ve become from the natural systems that support us,” says Pappas. “If we want healthier cities, we have to design like nature matters—because it does.”

The article encourages urban planners, architects, and everyday residents to consider the role of nature in shaping environments that support human resilience, especially as cities face rising climate and mental health challenges.
