SINGAPORE, Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Alchemy Pay, a world-leading crypto payment solutions provider, today unveiled its launch plan of its Layer-1 blockchain, Alchemy Chain. Built on a scalable Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) architecture, Alchemy Chain is designed to support the growing needs of Alchemy Pay’s business operations and revolutionize the integration of crypto and fiat payments.

Alchemy Chain is positioned to become a cornerstone of the evolving payment landscape by enabling seamless interaction between blockchain-based transactions and off-chain storage. Its ultimate goal is to establish a system where fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies coexist without friction, enhancing transparency, security, and efficiency in cross-border settlements.

Alchemy Chain will introduce a high-scalability infrastructure specifically crafted to accommodate large-scale business applications, facilitating seamless interaction between on-chain operations and off-chain storage. Its architecture is engineered to process transactions rapidly and efficiently, ensuring flexibility and reliability as Alchemy Pay’s user base continues to expand. At the heart of the blockchain’s security and transparency is an innovative Trusted Proof-of-Authority (TPoA) mechanism, which ensures the integrity and transaction speed of validating nodes. In addition, Alchemy Chain will integrate advanced Layer-2 solutions that enable seamless account mapping and data synchronization, minimizing redundant data storage and optimizing scalability.

$ACH will serve as the utility token of Alchemy Chain, allowing users to pay gas fees. Users can conveniently cover gas fees and transactions using either $ACH or fiat, with seamless conversion of profits and other on-chain earnings into fiat currency. Additionally, Alchemy Chain will implement a stablecoin revenue mechanism, providing users with the opportunity to earn yield effortlessly.

The launch of Alchemy Chain will also introduce two critical tools aimed at simplifying processes for developers and its eco-projects. The Meme Launchpad offers an intuitive platform designed to lower technical barriers, facilitating the creation and launch of meme-based projects. Meanwhile, the Meme Telegram Bot provides a streamlined, “light mode” interface for developers to navigate and interact with the ecosystem effortlessly.

Alchemy Chain will further Alchemy Pay’s mission to build a cohesive, frictionless payment system, bridging fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies. Looking ahead with Alchemy Chain, Alchemy Pay reaffirms its dedication to advancing the integration of cryptocurrencies into everyday financial systems. By leveraging cutting-edge blockchain technology, Alchemy Chain will help make crypto payments more accessible, supporting the broader adoption of digital currencies and contributing to the development of the global crypto ecosystem.

May 3, 2026

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today Booking.com released its 11th annual research report into consumer attitudes and understanding of the social and environmental impact of travel. With insights from 32,500 travellers across 35 markets globally, including 1,000 from Australia, this year’s research highlights a generational paradox.

While 83% of Australian travellers say that more sustainable travel is important to them, older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete actions, despite younger generations often expressing stronger sustainability intentions.

Older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete sustainable actions, with almost two–thirds of Boomers across Asia Pacific (63%) saying they will shop more at local, independent stores on their trips, three–quarters (75%) planning to reduce general waste, and 63% intending to reduce energy consumption, higher than Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z.However, younger travellers are leading in cultural and conservation management; more than a quarter of Gen Z (27%) and Millennials (26%) participated in a tour or activity that contributed to the health or conservation of the local ecosystem or wildlife.Extreme weather is actively reshaping travel choices. Nearly three-quarters of Australian travellers said they consider extreme weather risk when choosing both destination (72%), and timing (75%), and 27% reported having cancelled or changed trip plans in the past twelve months due to extreme weather or natural disaster.Australian travellers are shifting when and where they travel, seeking reliable climates and comfort. 43% say they plan to avoid overcrowded tourist destinations, 42% plan to travel outside of peak season, and 26% will seek out destinations with cooler temperatures.In 2025, travellers booked more than 100 million room nights on Booking.com at accommodation partners with a third-party sustainability certification, including at 363 third-party certified Australian properties.
