3 E Network Partners with HashBeaver to Expand Web3 Distribution of Finnish Green AI Compute

HONG KONG, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3 E Network Technology Group Limited (Nasdaq: MASK) (the “Company” or “3 E Network”), a business-to-business (“B2B”) information technology (“IT”) business solutions provider, committed to becoming a next-generation artificial intelligence (“AI”) infrastructure solutions provider, today announced a strategic partnership with HashBeaver, designating it as a cloud retail and distribution platform for the Company’s Finnish green AI compute center. This collaboration marks the expansion of the Finnish project’s service scope, supplementing its traditional enterprise client base by integrating with the global Web3 and decentralized physical infrastructure network (“DePIN”) ecosystems.

Establishing a Compute Gateway and Token-Based Settlement

Within this partnership, HashBeaver will serve as a compute gateway for 3 E Network’s Finnish AI compute center. While traditional compute leasing often involves complex underlying environment configurations, HashBeaver utilizes its cloud APIs with the aim of transforming the high-density GPU bare-metal clusters within 3 E Network’s Finnish facility into an elastic compute pool. Additionally, the gateway supports Web3 payment protocols, allowing global AI developers, decentralized communities, and startup teams to utilize supported digital assets, including certain stablecoins and utility tokens. Through on-chain smart contracts, users can authenticate compute usage and conduct on-demand settlement. This token settlement mechanism is designed to connect traditional physical compute infrastructure with the global decentralized developer ecosystem.

Optimizing Global Channels and Broadening Long-Tail Market Reach

By integrating token-based payment mechanisms, this collaboration is expected to broaden the distribution channels and improve the commercial utilization of the Company’s Finnish project, focusing on two primary areas:

• Reducing Cross-Border Payment Friction: Traditional fiat payment systems may create payment and settlement friction for international developers seeking access to compute resources. The token settlement system utilizes blockchain networks to facilitate cross-border payment and settlement, enabling developers globally to access the Finnish AI compute center’s capacity with greater flexibility and potentially lower transaction costs.
• Enhancing Asset Liquidity and Market Reach: Leveraging on-chain smart contracts and the micro-payment attributes of tokens, large-scale GPU clusters can be structured as compute-backed real-world assets (compute “RWA”), supporting millisecond-level metering and flexible resource allocation. This model allows small-to-medium AI laboratories to procure capacity precisely based on specific task durations. Transitioning a portion of capital expenditures into operational expenditures supports broader coverage of long-tail market demand and aims to optimize server utilization rates, thereby supporting the overall return on investment of the underlying hardware.
  

Highlighting Physical Infrastructure Value and Establishing a Compliance Framework

Despite the integration with decentralized networks, the foundation of this channel remains reliant on 3 E Network’s physical infrastructure. End-users, whether large enterprise clients via fiat channels or Web3 token retail clients accessing through the HashBeaver gateway, utilize the green, low-carbon, high-density compute power provided by 3 E Network’s Finnish AI compute center. Amidst increasingly stringent industry standards regarding the carbon footprint of compute operations, ESG-compliant green compute is expected to maintain consistent market demand.

Furthermore, this “B2B2C” operational model establishes a structured compliance framework for 3 E Network. Under this arrangement, the Company maintains its role as an infrastructure provider, collecting fiat (or compliant stablecoin) leasing revenue directly from HashBeaver. Operations related to retail-facing token payment integration, decentralized network distribution, and potential token volatility risks are independently managed and assumed by the HashBeaver platform. This structure is intended to delineate the respective operational responsibilities of 3 E Network and HashBeaver, with HashBeaver responsible for retail-facing token payment integration and decentralized network distribution.

Management Commentary

“In addition to developing green computing infrastructure, establishing flexible and globally accessible settlement channels is a vital component in enhancing the commercial value of our project,” stated Dr. Tingjun Yang, Chief Executive Officer of 3 E Network. “Our collaboration with HashBeaver is a key strategic initiative. The supported token payment methods can make our compute resources more accessible to the decentralized developer ecosystem. Combining green real-world assets with Web3 payment networks supports the diversification of our monetization pathways, broadens our potential customer base, and strengthens our competitive position in the next-generation AI infrastructure sector.”
