MindWave Innovations Signs 3 Client Network Agreements in 10 Days, Extending MindChain into Climate Finance, Sports Media and Insurance; Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US Provides Required NYSE American Disclosure

MATAWAN, N.J., Oct. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – MindWave Innovations Inc. USA ("MindWave"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. (NYSE American: APUS), signed three agreements between Sept. 24 and Oct. 4, 2026, to build and operate dedicated blockchain networks for clients in climate finance, sports media and insurance, all running on MindChain.

The three agreements follow the same model. MindWave builds and runs a dedicated network for each client on MindChain and is compensated through contracted fees or equity, together with an allocation equal to 20% of the credits or tokens issued on that client's network. Two of the three clients are U.S. companies, expanding MindWave's U.S. commercial footprint.

"In 10 days we signed three clients in three very different industries, and each one runs on the same MindChain infrastructure," said Dr. Vin Menon, Chief Executive Officer of MindWave Innovations Inc. USA. "Climate credits, match tickets and insurance claims have very little in common, but they all need a record people can trust. That is what we build. Our focus now is delivering these networks on schedule and turning signed agreements into recurring revenue."

Three Networks, Three Industries

AQUAEChain: On Sept. 24, MindWave signed a 12-month technology services agreement with Singapore-based AQUAE Holdings Pte. Ltd. to deploy MindChain as the infrastructure for AQUAEChain, a platform for issuing, verifying, tracking, transferring and retiring ALCI Credits (Aquae Labs Ecosystem Conservation Index). The platform combines a credit registry, environmental data management and a marketplace, and the MindChain issuance ledger records each credit from issuance to retirement. AQUAE leads the methodology, brand and market development. MindWave earns service fees plus an allocation equal to 20% of the ALCI Credits issued and outstanding.

FlashChain: On Sept. 29, MindWave signed a 12-month software development and technology services agreement with New York-based Flash Sports & Media Holdings, Inc. (FLZH) to build and operate FlashChain, a dedicated MindChain subnet that authenticates digital match tickets, sports memorabilia and media assets. MindWave will connect FLZH's FLASHSM streaming application, online ticketing platforms and stadium gate scanners to the network, while FLZH owns FlashChain, its brand and its Digital Asset and Ticketing Ledger. MindWave will receive FLZH common shares and an allocation equal to 20% of the total supply of FLASH TOKEN.

AssureChain: On Oct. 4, MindWave signed a 2-year master agreement with Delaware-based BlockAssure Inc. to build and operate AssureChain, an insurance and reinsurance network that runs as a subnet of MindChain. Contracts, policies, premium and payment entries, reinsurance treaties and claims all run on AssureChain, and a data oracle allows parametric claims to trigger automatically when pre-agreed thresholds are met. MindChain handles settlement and anchors records to Ethereum, and each module will be independently security-audited before production. MindWave is BlockAssure's exclusive blockchain provider for AssureChain and will earn quarterly development fees plus an allocation equal to 20% of the total supply of AssureCoin.

One Infrastructure, a Repeatable Model

All three networks run on the same MindChain infrastructure, so each new client adds activity to a shared platform rather than requiring a separate one. For every network, MindWave handles deployment, operates the validator nodes and provides ongoing technical support, while the client leads its own brand, market and regulatory strategy. Clients get a blockchain network of their own without building the underlying infrastructure themselves.

The model gives MindWave more than one way to benefit from each client's success. Contracted fees or equity provide consideration during the build, and the 20% allocations give MindWave a continuing position in each network it helps create.

Next Steps

For each client network, technical specifications, delivery timelines and acceptance criteria are set out in a statement of work, with development delivered against agreed milestones. MindWave will report progress as each milestone is reached and as each network goes into operation.
