SUN.io Launches SUN DAO to Enhance Decentralized Governance and Drive Ecosystem Innovation

SUN

Singapore,July 30, 2024, 12:00 PM - SUN.io, a leading DeFi platform built on the TRON blockchain, is thrilled to announce the launch of SUN DAO. This strategic initiative aims to enhance SUN.io's decentralized governance and community autonomy. By expanding the real-world use cases of the SUN token, SUN DAO will support the development and long-term governance of the SUN.io protocol. At its core, SUN DAO relies on its protocol functions and the SUN token for security. These functions, which include community engagement, incentive measures, self-regulation, and policy management, are governed through on-chain proposals. The SUN token will be integral to this governance process, integrating and digitizing various forms of capital, such as monetary and human resources, and encouraging active participation from community members in governance and proposals. With the introduction of SUN DAO, SUN.io will transition to a fully decentralized governance model, empowering community members to participate actively in the platform's voting and decision-making processes. Industry experts believe that SUN DAO will redefine decentralized governance, setting new benchmarks in the DeFi ecosystem for transparency, fairness, and innovation. Explore New Horizons in Decentralized Governance with SUN DAO SUN DAO leverages innovative incentive mechanisms and a tiered governance structure to establish a future-proof governance model, ensuring the long-term success of the SUN.io protocol. This approach is designed to drive continuous growth and improvement, maintaining the platform's relevance and effectiveness for decades to come. Under the current system, SUN holders can collectively manage the protocol and vote on proposals by converting their tokens into veSUN. Community members with a specified amount of veSUN holdings can submit proposals. For a proposal to be executed, it must receive a minimum number of yes votes and have more yes votes than no votes. This mechanism ensures efficient governance without third-party intervention, allowing the protocol to operate, manage, and develop autonomously according to predefined rules, thereby maximizing efficiency. The SUN token plays a crucial role in this process, digitizing and tokenizing all organizational elements, integrating both monetary and human capital, and significantly enhancing overall efficiency. According to the SUN.io team, the SUN token economy is designed to foster the healthy development and growth of the SUN.io ecosystem in the long term, ultimately benefiting all stakeholders under a robust protocol. SUN.io has introduced economic incentives based on the trust established by SUN DAO, including mutual trust among SUN token holders, the market, liquidity providers, and integrators. These liquidity-based governance approaches aim to sustain active participation in the voting process and expand the pools as the ecosystem grows and attracts more participants. Fostering Innovation on SUN.io to Unlock Diverse veSUN Use Cases The official launch of SUN DAO will significantly expand the use cases of its vote escrow mechanism, veSUN, encouraging greater participation from community users and driving further innovation and development across the SUN.io ecosystem. Users can lock up SUN tokens to receive veSUN, the voting certificate that grants them a voice in platform governance. Those holding a certain amount of veSUN can submit governance proposals to support new markets, add functionalities to the protocol, and more. Other veSUN holders can vote on the proposals while enjoying benefits such as liquidity mining boosts, votes to determine the weights of liquidity pools and 50% of transaction fees in stablecoin pools. Industry experts believe that adopting autonomous governance will revitalize the SUN.io ecosystem. By decentralizing community governance, users gain greater flexibility in resource allocation and can contribute valuable insights for development and improvement. This approach unites community efforts to drive product iteration and fosters a stronger sense of belonging and responsibility among members. By introducing a decentralized, multi-tiered governance framework powered by an incentivized system, SUN DAO motivates community members to propose innovative ideas and solutions, ensuring active participation in the voting process. By attracting new users and investments, SUN DAO fosters growth and innovation within the platform and the broader DeFi sector. As a crucial component of the TRON ecosystem, SUN.io's implementation of the DAO model is set to attract a broader community of users and developers, supporting TRON in maintaining a healthy, self-reinforcing DeFi ecosystem. SUN.io, the pioneering integrated platform on the TRON network, offers a comprehensive suite of decentralized financial services, including stablecoin swaps, liquidity mining, and the conversion of Dominica's authorized digital currency while enabling self-governance. As of July 2024, SUN.io amassed a total value locked (TVL) of $431 million. The establishment of SUN DAO will further solidify its leading role in the DeFi ecosystem by extending premium decentralized financial services globally, fostering sustained innovation and growth in the industry. About SUN DAO SUN DAO is a platform aimed at achieving genuine community autonomy and open collaboration through blockchain technology and smart contracts. As a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), we provide a fair, transparent, and efficient decision-making framework for community members, enabling everyone to equally participate in project development and governance. About SUN.io SUN.io is the first decentralized autonomous platform on the TRON network that integrates stablecoin and comprehensive token exchange while supporting liquidity mining. It aims to provide optimal trading liquidity and asset returns for the TRON ecosystem. Users can stake SUN to obtain veSUN, allowing them to enjoy multiple platform benefits.

Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum to Open Voting by Mail Exhibition

National Postal Museum

Voting by mail did not start during the Covid-19 pandemic. It began in various forms during the Civil War when soldiers could not get home to vote and it picked up steam again during World War II for the same reason. Mail has been and continues to be a method for providing citizens with access to election information and materials. Today, every state has some form of voting by mail. The National Postal Museum’s exhibition “Voting by Mail: Civil War to Covid-19” explores the significant role of voting by mail in America’s democracy. Over time, legislation for both military and civilian voting using the mail has been shaped by events and politics with provisions added, removed and amended. On view Saturday, Aug. 24, through Feb. 23, 2025, “Voting by Mail” invites visitors to explore the changing logistical and political reasons for the various ways mail has been part of the election process, and how it continues to define where, when and how Americans vote in elections. Early methods for absentee voting that used the mail enabled military members to participate in elections when wartime deployments took them away from their polling precincts. The Civil War and World War II caused many states to temporarily establish or expand absentee voting for significant numbers of voters in the military. Allowances for civilians voting absentee grew in the early 20th century and in 1901 Kansas became the first state to permit voting by mail but limited this to railroad employees traveling for work. Since the 1980s, in addition to in-person voting, some jurisdictions, including eight states and the District of Columbia, have instituted all-mail voting with the automatic distribution of ballots to registered voters. The public health emergency of the Covid-19 pandemic brought about temporary procedures, new laws and debates over using the mail for voting. Objects on display focus on the early history of voting by mail in the U.S. and ways the mail is used in modern elections. A Civil War envelope for mailing soldiers’ votes on a tally sheet enabled deployed military service members to participate in the Ohio state election of 1864. World War II absentee voting materials developed for U.S. Armed Forces, including the design of a blank ballot allowed the government to distribute them before specific candidate names became available, thus accommodating weeks-long mailing time for U.S. forces overseas. Examples of modern election mail including an absentee ballot, an envelope for a mail-in ballot, an official election information guide, and notices announcing elections. “We are excited to present the role of mail in U.S. elections for government representatives serving the American public,” said Elliot Gruber, director of the museum. “The history of mail as an official conduit of election information and election voting materials has long been part of our nation’s history.” The exhibition is supported by public and exhibition programming, as well as educational resources for teachers. A special website makes available the stories, themes and historical artifacts presented in the exhibition. About the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum The National Postal Museum is devoted to presenting the colorful and engaging history of the nation's mail service and showcasing one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of stamps and philatelic material in the world. It is located at 2 Massachusetts Ave. N.E., Washington, D.C., across from Union Station. The museum is currently open Friday through Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information about the Smithsonian, call (202) 633-1000.

3 Key Moves Uniquely Position Atlas Lithium For Potential Success In Rapidly Expanding Lithium Market

Benzinga

By Mangeet Kaur Bouns, Benzinga As the world pivots towards renewable energy and electric vehicles, the demand for lithium, a crucial component in batteries, is skyrocketing. Atlas Lithium (NASDAQ: ATLX) has emerged as a serious contender in this growing market. Here are three major catalysts that underscore why Atlas Lithium is uniquely poised to capitalize on the lithium surge. Doubling The Size Of Its Lithium Exploration Footprint In Brazil Atlas Lithium has significantly advanced its exploration efforts by more than doubling its lithium exploration portfolio in Brazil to approximately 539 km² (133,000 acres). This expansion includes new claims in the promising Doce River and Mucuri Valley regions that Atlas Lithium says are relatively untapped, yet rich in lithium deposits. The company’s initial exploration in these new areas is centered around Governador Valadares, a city with a population of nearly 280,000. It is well-connected by infrastructure and is near Port Vitoria. This location is advantageous for lithium exploration and future development. James Abson, Atlas Lithium's chief geology officer, highlighted the strategic importance of this expansion, stating, “Our new mineral rights near Governador Valadares provide access to an exciting new lithium frontier in Brazil that has been relatively untapped beyond gemstone mining.” This region is part of the Eastern Brazilian Pegmatite Province (EBPP), known for its lithium-rich pegmatites. While the company's exploration efforts are expanding, its flagship Neves Project remains on track. A modular dense media separation (DMS) plant has successfully completed its trial assembly and is currently undergoing preparations for shipment to Brazil in the third quarter of 2024. Production of high-quality, environmentally sustainable lithium concentrate is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2024. Atlas Lithium's aggressive expansion strategy also involves continuous mapping and sampling efforts to better understand the geological formations within its claims. These efforts have already identified numerous spodumene-bearing pegmatites within the newly acquired areas, significantly boosting the potential for the eventual high-grade lithium discovery in those areas. The company's geological team is employing advanced technology, including 3D laser scanning, to precisely map pegmatite dimensions and plan future drill locations efficiently. Securing A $30 Million Strategic Investment From Mitsui In a significant endorsement of its potential, Atlas Lithium has secured a $30 million strategic investment from Mitsui & Co (OTC: MITSF). This investment, made at a 10% premium to the five-day VWAP, provided crucial capital for accelerating the development of Atlas Lithium’s open-pit lithium mine and spodumene concentrating facility, set to commence operations by the fourth quarter of 2024. The offtake agreement with Mitsui encompasses the future purchase of 15,000 tons of lithium concentrate from Phase 1 and up to 60,000 tons per year for five years from Phase 2 of the Neves Project. This partnership not only provides additional financing but also guarantees a steady demand for Atlas Lithium’s environmentally sustainable lithium concentrate. The strong relationship between the two companies, marked by multiple due diligence visits and collaborative efforts, underscores the confidence in Atlas Lithium’s projects and capabilities. “Mitsui’s investment reflects confidence in our team, assets, and business model,” said Marc Fogassa, CEO and chairperson of Atlas Lithium. Mitsui's involvement brings more than just financial backing. The company’s extensive experience and established presence in Brazil provide strategic advantages, including logistical support and access to global markets. This collaboration is expected to enhance Atlas Lithium’s operational capabilities, leveraging Mitsui’s resources and networks to streamline the path to production and market entry. The partnership with Mitsui also opens doors for potential future collaborations and expansions. Mitsui's comprehensive approach to supply chain management and its strategic interest in sustainable resource development aligns well with Atlas Lithium's goals, setting a strong foundation for long-term growth and stability. Appointment Of Renowned Lithium Executive Brian Talbot As COO Atlas Lithium has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Brian Talbot as Chief Operating Officer (COO) and a member of the Board of Directors, effective Apr. 1, 2024. Talbot brings over 30 years of experience in the lithium sector, including expertise in DMS plant development and operation. Talbot’s extensive background includes significant roles at major lithium companies, where he has consistently enhanced efficiency, identified commercial opportunities, extended mine life and maximized safety. His leadership at Sigma Lithium Corporation and Galaxy Resources has been instrumental in achieving record production and operational performance. Commenting on his new role, Talbot said, “After visiting and studying in detail Atlas Lithium’s properties, I firmly believe there is a strong alignment between my expertise in expediting hard-rock lithium projects to production and the solid foundation that the company has already built.” Martin Rowley, former Chairman of Allkem and now lead advisor to Atlas Lithium, emphasized Talbot’s impact, stating, “His work ethic, dedication, and creativity underwrote the significant value increase to all Galaxy shareholders.” Talbot’s track record includes spearheading the development of several high-profile lithium projects worldwide. His appointment is expected to bring operational excellence and strategic insight to Atlas Lithium’s ambitious plans. His familiarity with the Brazilian lithium landscape and his technical acumen make him an invaluable asset as the company moves toward production. Additionally, Talbot’s experience in scaling operations and his hands-on approach to project management will be crucial as Atlas Lithium seeks to optimize its production processes and maximize output. His leadership is anticipated to drive efficiencies and foster innovation, ensuring that Atlas Lithium remains at the forefront of the lithium industry. Atlas Lithium's Strategic Position In The Growing Lithium Market The global lithium market, estimated at $31.75 billion in 2023, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 17.7% from 2024 to 2030. The increasing demand for vehicle electrification, renewable energy storage systems, consumer electronics and advancements in battery technology are key drivers of this growth. Government subsidies for electric vehicles (EVs) and rising investments in this sector are expected to further accelerate market expansion. Atlas Lithium’s strategic initiatives—doubling its exploration footprint, securing significant investment from Mitsui and appointing a highly experienced COO—position the company as a serious contender in the lithium space. As the company progresses towards production at its Neves Project and continues to expand its exploration activities, Atlas Lithium is uniquely placed to thrive in the impending lithium boom. The company’s approach to sustainable and environmentally responsible mining further strengthens its market position. By adhering to stringent environmental standards and leveraging cutting-edge technologies, it is poised to meet the growing demand for lithium while minimizing its ecological footprint. This commitment to sustainability is increasingly important to investors and consumers alike, enhancing Atlas Lithium's appeal in the global market.
