Alexandria, Sydney, United States, 17th Jan 2026 – Futurizta Tech today announced the official reveal of Atlas, its modular smart wallet ecosystem, at CES 2026, where the product made a strong debut and attracted significant attention from media, buyers, and attendees throughout the show.

Designed as a new take on everyday carry, Atlas reimagines the traditional wallet by combining card storage, wireless charging, tracking compatibility, and modular expansion into a single, cohesive platform. Rather than positioning Atlas as a standalone accessory, Futurizta Tech introduced it at CES as the foundation of a broader ecosystem built to adapt to modern lifestyles.

A New Approach to Everyday Carry

At its core, Atlas is a 5-in-1 MagSafe smart wallet designed to simplify what users carry daily. It integrates card storage, wireless charging for compatible smartphones, Apple Find My compatibility for item tracking, and a built-in stand — all within a slim, pocket-friendly form factor.

What drew particular attention at CES was Atlas’ modular ecosystem design, which allows users to customise functionality based on different needs. The ecosystem includes:

• Xpand, a modular expansion wallet that increases storage capacity while maintaining a slim profile
• Xpower, a magnetic power module that attaches directly to Atlas, providing portable power without added bulk
• Xmag, a magnetic utility accessory that extends Atlas’ use through mounting and NFC-enabled applications

Together, these components transform Atlas from a wallet into a flexible everyday platform — one that adapts to travel, work, and daily routines without requiring users to carry multiple accessories.

Strong CES Debut and Industry Interest

During CES 2026, Atlas drew consistent interest from attendees seeking practical, well-designed solutions for everyday tech. Live demonstrations highlighted how the ecosystem works together seamlessly, resonating with users looking to reduce clutter while maintaining essential functionality.

“Atlas was built to solve real frustrations we experience every day — dead phones, bulky wallets, and disconnected accessories,” said Alex Teh, Founder of Futurizta Tech. “The response at CES validated our belief that people want fewer things, but better-designed ones. Seeing that excitement firsthand was incredibly rewarding.”

Designed Around Simplicity and Intentional Design

Atlas reflects Futurizta Tech’s broader design philosophy of intentional hardware — products that prioritise usability, modularity, and long-term relevance over excess features. By focusing on how people actually move, work, and travel, Atlas aims to replace multiple everyday items with one adaptable system.

About Futurizta Tech

Futurizta Tech is a lifestyle technology company focused on creating multifunctional hardware that simplifies modern life. Through modular ecosystems like Atlas, Futurizta Tech continues to explore new ways to reduce clutter and improve everyday routines through thoughtful design.

New York, United States, 17th Jan 2026 – StreetSmart, a renter-focused housing transparency platform, continues to expand access to verified building history and safety data for renters searching in major U.S. cities. As rental competition remains high and listings often lack full context, the platform aims to help renters make informed decisions by consolidating public records, landlord histories, and renter-submitted insights into a single, searchable view by address.

Rental listings typically focus on price, photos, and amenities, but they rarely show a building’s past. Information about unresolved violations, recurring maintenance issues, or landlord behavior often sits across multiple city databases or remains difficult for renters to uncover during a fast-moving search. StreetSmart addresses this gap by offering public access to building-level records that allow renters to review a property’s history before signing a lease.

StreetSmart’s data helps renters identify patterns rather than isolated incidents. Buildings with repeated violations or landlords with consistent complaint histories become easier to spot early in the search process. Renters can also compare properties citywide or within neighborhoods to identify options that rank higher for overall condition and maintenance. Features such as landlord track records and city-specific rankings, including resources for finding best maintained apartments New York, support more informed comparisons across competitive rental markets.

By entering any address, renters can view verified data covering housing violations, tenant complaints, landlord track records, and historical indicators tied to the building. This includes records related to pests, mold, floods, fires, lead exposure, noise complaints, and other housing conditions that affect daily living. The platform also provides visibility into rent stabilization status, construction year, unit count, open violations, and percentile rankings that show how a building compares to others in the same area.

StreetSmart aggregates more than 50 million verified violation records across millions of buildings, presenting the information in a clear format designed for renters rather than professionals. Instead of requiring users to navigate separate housing department portals, the platform centralizes the data and applies consistent scoring and ranking logic across cities. Renters searching in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Philadelphia, Miami, San Diego, and Austin can use the same process to evaluate properties.

The platform also emphasizes community participation through renter reviews and shared rent data. Renters can submit firsthand accounts tied to specific addresses, adding context that official records may not fully capture. These contributions often highlight issues such as repeated repair delays, ongoing pest problems, or misleading listings that appear resolved on paper but persist in practice. Submissions do not require sign-in, which encourages broader participation and ongoing updates.

In addition to building and landlord data, StreetSmart tracks city-specific trends such as pest infestation rankings based on confirmed housing department records. The platform distinguishes between verified infestation violations and administrative paperwork issues, helping renters interpret records accurately. Live activity feeds and trending searches also reflect what renters are actively researching, offering insight into market concerns as they develop.

StreetSmart curates rental and housing market news from major outlets to keep renters informed about policy changes, affordability trends, and regulatory updates that may affect leasing decisions. Social media discussions and short-form video content further contribute to awareness around rental transparency and housing conditions.

For property owners and managers, StreetSmart offers a verification process that allows verified stakeholders to claim buildings, respond to reviews, upload photos, and request corrections to public records. Verification requires documentation such as deeds or management agreements, maintaining accountability while preserving the platform’s renter-first focus. This approach supports accurate data without restricting public access.

As renters face increasing pressure to move quickly in competitive markets, access to reliable building history has become a critical part of the decision process. Platforms that consolidate public records, renter experiences, and comparative rankings offer a way to reduce uncertainty and help renters evaluate risk before committing to a lease.

StreetSmart continues to grow its database and geographic coverage, with millions of buildings indexed and thousands of daily searches from renters seeking clarity on where they plan to live. By bringing fragmented housing data into a single, accessible platform, StreetSmart aims to support more transparent rental decisions and better outcomes for renters across U.S. cities.

About StreetSmart

StreetSmart is a renter-focused housing transparency platform designed to help people understand the full history of a building before signing a lease. Often described as a Yelp-style resource for renters, the platform provides free public access to verified building violations, tenant complaints, landlord track records, renter reviews, and historical data that is typically scattered across city databases. Active across major U.S. cities, StreetSmart aggregates more than 50 million housing records and presents them in a clear, searchable format that supports informed rental decisions without ads, paywalls, or premium tiers.

Hong Kong, 17th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, WOW Exchange has announced the launch of its new cryptocurrency exchange and has branded itself as the next generation exchange solution. It has been developed as a response to the inefficiencies that exist in the cryptocurrency exchange market and hopes to deliver a more reliable and informed trading solution to the market. It has been developed to be more secure and advanced than any other existing exchange.

As a result of the evolution of digital asset markets, it can be seen that the technological requirements for a digital asset trading platform have escalated. Currently, market participants demand a platform that can facilitate high-performance execution, strong security features, and well-structured operational processes. WOW Exchange is being designed in such a manner that it gives prime importance to infrastructure quality and intelligent design.

Industry Challenges Driving the Development of WOW Exchange

The development of WOW Exchange is guided by an assessment of several persistent challenges in the cryptocurrency exchange space:

• Operational Opacity
  Many exchanges operate with limited transparency regarding platform governance, system architecture, and risk management processes. WOW Exchange is designed with an emphasis on accountable operations, structured communication, and verifiable platform standards.
  
• Inconsistent Security Practices
  Security vulnerabilities remain a significant concern across the industry. WOW Exchange integrates multi-layer security mechanisms directly into its core infrastructure to reduce exposure to operational and technical risks.
  
• Fragmented Market Intelligence
  Traders frequently rely on external tools to analyze market conditions. WOW Exchange incorporates AI-powered analytics within the platform to provide contextual insights directly at the point of execution.
  

Technical Architecture and Infrastructure Design

WOW Exchange is being built as a high-performance trading platform capable of supporting modern market activity across multiple regions. Its infrastructure emphasizes scalability, reliability, and low-latency execution.

Key components of the platform architecture include:

• High-Throughput Matching Engine
  Designed to support efficient order execution and consistent performance during periods of market volatility.
  
• Advanced Security Infrastructure
  Incorporating encryption protocols, continuous system monitoring, and proactive risk detection to safeguard user assets and data.
  
• AI-Driven Market Analytics
  Real-time data processing designed to identify market patterns, liquidity conditions, and behavioral trends without compromising usability.
  

These components are intended to function as an integrated system rather than isolated features, enabling a more cohesive trading experience.

Transparency as a Core Platform Principle

Transparency is a central design principle guiding the development of WOW Exchange. The platform aims to foster trust through:

• Clear communication regarding platform updates and development milestones
  
• Responsible governance aligned with evolving industry standards
  
• Open engagement with users and ecosystem participants
  

By emphasizing transparency, WOW Exchange seeks to establish long-term credibility in a market where trust remains a critical factor.

Community-Led Development and Ecosystem Participation

WOW Exchange is structured to evolve in collaboration with its user base. Community input is expected to influence platform development, feature enhancements, and long-term roadmap decisions.

This approach includes:

• Structured feedback mechanisms for users
  
• Ongoing engagement with blockchain projects and developers
  
• Collaborative ecosystem partnerships
  

WOW Exchange views community participation as a key driver of sustainable innovation rather than a secondary consideration.

Supporting Real-World Financial Utility

In addition to fundamental trading features, the WOW Exchange is being built to incorporate real-world financial uses that relate digital assets to tangible applications. This would include building frameworks for the future application of financial tools on a blockchain.

This is in line with the overall purpose of the platform to connect traders, investors, and blockchain projects under a united and smart trading system.

The present stage for the WOW Exchange is the pre-launch phase. Further technological disclosures will be released along with updates through the official channels.

Emersoft’s Books Shopify App with Pubnet integration creates the only complete solution for bookstores managing both online storefronts and physical retail locations through a single platform.

St. Petersburg, FL, United States, 16th Jan 2026 — Emersoft has announced plans to launch a Pubnet electronic ordering integration for the Emersoft Books Shopify App in Q1 2026, creating the only complete commerce solution designed to serve both online booksellers and brick-and-mortar bookstores through a single platform. While existing technology platforms address either ecommerce or physical retail operations, the new integration enables bookstores to manage online storefronts, in-store sales, inventory, and publisher ordering through one system: Shopify plus the Emersoft Books App.

The integration solves a fundamental challenge facing independent booksellers who operate both physical stores and online channels. Traditional solutions require separate platforms for ecommerce, point-of-sale, and ordering, forcing retailers to manually reconcile data across systems. The Emersoft solution transforms Shopify into a unified operational hub where every sale—whether at the counter, online, or at events—feeds the same real-time inventory data and purchasing workflow.

By connecting Shopify POS for brick-and-mortar locations, Shopify ecommerce for online sales, and Pubnet for Electronic Data Interchange with publishers, the system enables booksellers to manage their entire operation in one place. This represents the first technology platform specifically designed to eliminate the operational divide between online and physical bookstore channels.

The system operates through real-time data synchronization across all sales channels. When transactions occur at the counter, online, or at events, inventory updates instantly by location without requiring end-of-day reconciliation. This live inventory data provides staff with immediate visibility into sell-through patterns and reorder requirements, enabling purchasing decisions based on actual sales rather than estimates or buyer intuition.

Purchase orders are created directly within Shopify rather than through separate vendor portals. Staff selects titles for reordering, and Emersoft generates purchase orders that are transmitted through Pubnet’s Electronic Data Interchange network to the appropriate publishers and distributors. Order acknowledgments, shipping notifications, and invoices flow back into Shopify and attach directly to the originating purchase orders, eliminating the manual tracking and email management traditionally required for order fulfillment.

“Every other solution forces booksellers to choose between platforms optimized for online or optimized for brick-and-mortar,” said Marcin Ruman, founder of Emersoft. “We built the only system that actually works for both. One system—Shopify plus the Emersoft Books App—manages your physical store, your website, and your publisher relationships. Everything in one place.”

The system delivers operational benefits for bookstores regardless of whether they operate primarily online, primarily brick-and-mortar, or both. Real-time inventory synchronization means a sale at the physical counter instantly updates the same inventory count that online customers see, eliminating out-of-stock purchases on the website. Purchase orders created for in-store restocking automatically reflect in the online catalog. The same ISBN database, inventory counts, and reorder logic serve both channels without separate management workflows.

For brick-and-mortar operations, staff gain immediate visibility into what is selling, what inventory is low, and what requires reordering, grouped by publisher or distributor. This enables newer team members to execute accurate purchasing while senior buyers focus on curation. For online operations, live inventory eliminates customer frustration from ordering unavailable titles and reduces refund requests. Bookstores operating both channels benefit from managing everything through one system rather than reconciling separate ecommerce and point-of-sale platforms.

Most book suppliers require terms accounts to accept electronic orders through Pubnet. Emersoft works with MVB, which administers Pubnet services, to help bookstores establish the necessary business credit and convert accounts to terms status. Setup requires a one-time fee of $75, which is waived for American Booksellers Association members, with no ongoing subscription costs for Pubnet access.

“Bookstores told us they were tired of managing separate systems for their website and their store, or choosing platforms that only worked well for one channel,” added Ruman. “Our solution is simple: Shopify plus the Emersoft Books App. That’s it. One system manages everything whether you’re online-only, brick-and-mortar-only, or both. This is the only complete solution that actually works for bookstores operating in both worlds.”

The integration represents part of Emersoft’s commitment to supporting the independent bookstore community through both technology development and education. The company hosts regular community-driven webinars where booksellers share experiences and best practices while learning about new platform capabilities and industry developments.

Additional information about the Pubnet integration and other Emersoft services for independent bookstores is available online.

United Kingdom, 16th Jan 2026 – Let’s face it: there is nothing quite as stressful as that early morning phone call. You know the one—a key team member calls in sick, or a sudden surge in orders lands on your desk, and you realize you’re short-staffed.

YouWare has announced the release of YouBase, a backend engine designed to support the deployment of web applications built via its platform. The new infrastructure includes authentication, database management, and global edge functions to facilitate full-stack application development.

Dover, Delaware, United States, 16th Jan 2026 – YouWare, YouWare, a platform for AI-assisted web development, has announced the launch of YouBase. This new backend-as-a-service (BaaS) infrastructure is designed to provide users with the technical components necessary to transition web prototypes into functional applications. By integrating backend capabilities directly into the development environment, the platform now supports full-stack execution, including hosting and custom domain integration.

Technical Features of YouBase

As AI-driven development has evolved, “vibe coding”—the process of using natural language to direct software creation—has empowered a new generation of creators. However, the move from a functional UI prototype to a live, secure business application has historically required complex manual configuration of servers, databases, and authentication protocols.

The launch of YouBase solves this “last mile” problem. By integrating a complete cloud backend directly into the YouWare environment, the platform enables small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and prosumers to launch professional-grade products without the need for traditional backend engineering or third-party hosting services.

YouBase: Technical Infrastructure for the Modern Creator

YouBase provides a suite of integrated cloud services designed to handle the server-side requirements of modern web applications. The infrastructure operates on a global edge network and includes the following core components:

• Secure Authentication: Enables sign-up, login, and role-based permissions, allowing SMBs to manage teams and customer access with enterprise-grade security.
• Structured Databases: Provides a reliable system to store and manage the data businesses depend on—from order histories and user profiles to complex analytics—with built-in data protection.
• Global Edge Functions: Executes server-side logic globally with low latency. This ensures that workflows, such as form validation or automated routing, remain fast and responsive for users regardless of their location.
• Media & File Storage: Optimized for media-heavy applications, allowing for the high-speed delivery of images, videos, and documents essential for digital catalogs and portfolios.
• Encrypted Secrets Management: Offers secure storage for API keys and sensitive configurations, ensuring that credentials remain protected and never exposed to the client-side code.
• Payments Integration: To support revenue generation, YouBase features native integration with Stripe, enabling users to accept payments for products, subscriptions, and memberships directly.

Streamlining the Development Lifecycle

The introduction of YouBase aims to reduce the technical complexity typically associated with configuring servers, databases, and security protocols. By providing a pre-configured backend environment, the platform allows developers and small businesses to deploy applications without managing separate infrastructure providers.

“The goal of YouBase is to provide a stable and predictable technical foundation for projects built on our platform,” said Leon Ming, CEO of YouWare. “By integrating these essential backend services, we are enabling users to focus on the functional aspects of their applications while the infrastructure handles the underlying complexity.”

About YouWare Inc

YouWare Inc is a software company that develops AI-driven tools for web creation. The company’s platform allows users to build and deploy web applications through natural language interfaces. YouWare Inc focuses on reducing the technical barriers to building websites, web app or internal tools development for independent creators and small-to-medium businesses.
