Skullcandy has created a new environmentally friendly range of headphones in the form of Transparency with a net zero carbon footprint. The limited edition headphones contains carbon emissions equivalent of 12.14 kg, neutralized via carbon offset credits and are priced at $115 for the Hesh Evo wireless headphones or $50 for the Jib True 2 wireless earbuds offering the equivalent of 5.70 kg, neutralized via carbon offset credits. “Every product has an impact on the environment — from materials and manufacturing to packaging, shipping and infrastructure. We can’t completely eliminate that impact, but we’re working every day to reduce our carbon footprint. From this series forward, we’re dedicated to 100% transparency about our impact on the environment and what we’re doing to work toward a cleaner world. We’ve been working closely with Protect Our Winters for about four years, now. During this time, they have continually helped us educate our customers and ramp up our environmental efforts through aggressive sustainability and upcycling programs. You can rock your Transparency headphones with pride, knowing that a portion of the proceeds of this limited edition goes to POW to help them in their fight.”

(PR) Skullcandy Launches the Transparency Series of Headphones with Net-Zero Carbon Footprint

TechBullion
On April 9, 2022, the African Queendom of Sheba launched a revolutionary crypto project at the National Theatre, South Liberia Road, Accra, Ghana. During the event, the Queendom launched the Queen Royal Coin, which is an innovative CBDC project created by the African Queendom of shebah. Here is everything you need to know about it. The Innovative Crypto Project Launched by Her Imperial Majesty The Empress Shebah Debra Amelia Kasambu’Ra. Queen Royal Coin (QRC) is a project designed to pioneer the African Fintech sector. It represents a new type of digital currency investment, which is secured using the assets of the African Kingdom Federation (AKF). It will be used to spur economic growth on the continent. QRC is a CBDC for the Queendom, which is headed by Her Imperial Majesty The Empress Shebah Debra Amelia Kasambu’Ra (Queen Shebah III). For compliance, the project will adhere to the regulatory financial framework of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the African Regulatory Authority. QRC will be managed by the Queen Sheba Investment Authority (QSIA), which is a ministerial division for investment and government affairs and is headquartered in Mai-Ndombe. By using blockchain technology within Queendom, it will help to facilitate easier trade of physical goods via smart contracts. As a result, it will create opportunities for transportability, transparency, and the ability to participate in “e-natural” market data for concession trading and leveraging over a P2P network. QRC is a Central Bank Digital Currency built on the EcoChain blockchain. It will be managed by the Crown of Sheba Central Bank (CSBA). Users of QRC will need to go through an AML/KYC process to ensure that their existing accounts qualify. It will make it possible for the currency to be more accessible while growing its functionality for retail transactions. The CSCB will ensure that the public has access to legal tender if for some reason cash ever becomes unavailable. As a legal tender, it would mean that both cash and the CSBC would have legal recognition as payment and represent a claim on Queendom. The Queen of Sheba Investment Authority (QSIA), is the issuer of the Queendom QRC Currency, and the investment arm of the Crown of Sheba Central Bank (CSCB), which was established by the CDCB Act. CSCB acts as the policy and regulatory body of QSIA. It is strategically placed as the investment partner of the African Nations for Development. QSIA was created as a result of an Imperial Decree signed by the Queen of Sheba, who is the Head of State of the Queendom Crown Government. The investment authority is headed by the Crown Governor Chris Lu, who is also the Chief of Fintech Officer of Digital Gold Mine. The Imperial Queendom of Sheba Central Bank (CSCB) is the central bank of the Queendom. It is headed by the Crown Governor of Governors, Crown Prime Minister Fritzgerald Zephir, who is also the President of JD Euroway Bancorp & Trust. It is the issuer of the currency, the Crown Lumira QSL, as well as the overseer of QRC, which is backed by the Queendom’s natural and financial resources. It operates as a private Crown institution, which is represented by QSIA, with its headquarters in Mai-Ndombe, the Queendom of Sheba, in the DRC. The bank and the QSIA have established foreign offices in the Americas, Middle East, Europe, and Asia. Unlike a private bank, which would be mainly driven by profit, CSBA oversees the monetary policy of the QSIA, and regulates the deposit-based financial institutions of the Queendom. EcoChain is the official blockchain on which QRC runs. The project was founded by Jacky Wong, Founder and CEO of DGM. It was designed as a stand-alone blockchain instead of a layer-1 protocol. Most of the fundamental technical and business functions of EcoChain are self-contained so that they can run smoothly even when ERC stops for a short while. EcoChain has Ethereum compatibility built into it. Since the first smart contract platform was Ethereum, it makes sense to take advantage of the mature community and applications within Ethereum. EcoChain has thus opted to be compatible with the Ethereum Mainnet. Within EcoChain, the consensus mechanism used is staking, which is also used for governance. The staking mechanism is more environmentally friendly and provides more flexible options for community governance. This consensus will enable better network performance compared to the PoW mechanism. In short, the network can process more transactions per second without lag. The native token of EcoChain is ECO; it operates in the same way as ETH. It means that ECO is used to pay for most of the fees on EcoChain, the ECO DEX, and to pay gas for smart contracts deployment. Additionally, it is used for staking and providing rewards to stakers, and for cross-chain operations. There are a total of 100 million ECO tokens created. Of these tokens, 40% will be sold during the Crown Sale, 30% will go to the development team, 12% will provide liquidity in the liquidity pool, 10% will go to angel investors, 5% will go to the presale, and 3% will be sold during a private sale in the Beta stage. For ordinary investors, the initial price will be $1 per ECO, while for those who take part in the pre-sale, the price is $0.50. For those that take part in the private round beta, the price is set at $0.50. Digital Gold Mine is a tokenized gold asset, which is backed by real gold assets. The project was founded by Jacky Wong, who is the CEO and founder of EcoChain. DGM is backed by official concessions of gold mines in Zambia, which are run by the Royal Carats Gems Company. For the last decade, the mine has been exploring for gold in the Republic of Zambia. The plan is to launch DGM on the official EcoChain blockchain. DGM backs QRC, which is the official CBDC of The Imperial Queendom of Sheba, which was re-established formally in 2021 in Mai-Ndombe Congo DRC, as the Continent’s Kingdoms Cultural Capital, in alignment with the African Union 2021 African Renaissance agenda, under the tenure of the Congo DRC Presidency. In total, there are 1 billion DGM tokens. DGM is envisioned as a fast, simple, and cost-effective means of buying precious metals via the tokenization of gold mines, as a timeless investment. Due to economic uncertainties that have led to wanton money-printing by leading economies, it has led to the search for a safer method of holding value. As a result, demand for DGM, which is backed by real gold mines, is going to be high. At the current time, gold prices have soared to their highest levels in decades.To buy EcoChain coins, you can use the InfoEx Exchange, which is set for launch on May 20, 2022. This platform will offer a seamless method to buy and sell all EcoChain tokens, including the DGM tokens. Asset-backed tokens will no doubt have an important role to play in the future of the financial world. QRC, which is backed by DGM, is a good example of a project that could potentially change the financial world. – Her Imperial Majesty The Empress Shebah Debra Amelia Kasambu’Ra
