NEW YORK, April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Verae™, a startup co-founded by blockchain co-inventor Dr. Stuart Haber, announces its integration with Evercycle, a leader in ITAM innovation and asset circularity. The two companies are working together to seamlessly incorporate Verae’s blockchain technology into the Evercycle platform, enhancing the integrity, accountability, and transparency of ITAM/ITAD data.

New partnership brings blockchain transparency to IT asset lifecycles—no new systems required.

Evercycle offers a comprehensive platform for IT device lifecycle management, focusing on automation, traceability, security, and sustainable practices. They help customers streamline processes such as device deployment, recovery, repair, refurbishment, redeployment, and asset disposition, providing end-to-end automation and transparency. Evercycle is built not just to track assets, but to move them.

Verae secures the integrity of digital records through blockchain technology. The company’s DataCubes™ provide a platform for organizations to enhance trust, transparency, and traceability across digital ecosystems. Verae’s blockchain technology provides secure, auditable records that can be selectively shared, enhancing data integrity and simplifying compliance.

By integrating Verae’s DataCubes into the Evercycle platform, the two companies provide an effortless means of implementing blockchain technology, creating an immutable history of each device throughout its lifecycle. Verae’s technology allows for linking records across multiple owners and custodians, offering a complete asset history for ITAM professionals, ITAD companies, risk and compliance teams, auditors, and regulators.

This partnership will enable enterprises and ITAD companies to immediately leverage blockchain technology, without implementing new software systems and without changing their existing business processes. The collaboration ensures transparent, immutable tracking of device histories, helping businesses to prove compliance with sustainability and data security requirements, as well as to prevent fraud.

As organizations face mounting pressure to track, report, and recover IT assets with precision and transparency, this collaboration underscores the value of blockchain-based validation in addressing the systemic gaps in today’s ITAM landscape.

“Integrating blockchain into ITAM is about solving for trust at scale,” said Nate Poynter, Founder and CEO of Evercycle. “Our company is focused on advancing the circular economy and making life easier for IT asset managers. This industry has long struggled with fragmented systems, unverifiable records, and opaque chains of custody. Evercycle’s collaboration with Verae ensures that asset data is secure, portable, and independently verifiable.”

IT asset management is entering a critical moment: enterprises are managing increasing volumes of hardware across distributed workforces while facing regulatory scrutiny around sustainability and data security. By leveraging blockchain, Evercycle and Verae aim to create a foundation for systems that are auditable and built for the next generation of asset recovery and reuse.

“Partnering with Evercycle is an important step toward a world where fully verifiable data serves as a backbone for compliance in the circular economy,” said James Garfinkel, CEO of Verae. “We’re not just testing tech — we’re creating a foundation for trust.”

FranklinWH Introduces Enhanced 15 kWh aPower in Australia and New Zealand

May 3, 2026

Expansion comes as policy shifts and rising power costs accelerate demand for residential energy storage

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FranklinWH, a leading provider of whole-home energy management and battery storage solutions, today announced the launch of its enhanced 15 kWh aPower battery in Australia and New Zealand, as demand for residential energy storage continues to grow, driven by evolving policy settings and increasing interest in energy independence.

The updated aPower builds on the company’s established platform, increasing usable capacity from 13.6 kWh to 15 kWh and raising warrantied throughput from 43 MWh to 60 MWh, an increase of 40 percent. These updates deliver more usable energy over the life of the system while maintaining the same footprint and price.

“The energy landscape is shifting quickly, and more homeowners are thinking beyond the upfront specs to what really pays off over time,” said Steve Ruskin, General Manager of FranklinWH Australia. “This upgrade is about delivering more performance over the life of the system, more usable energy, greater throughput, while staying true to our ‘buy once, buy right’ philosophy.”

The increase in warrantied throughput translates into savings for homeowners. Based on typical usage patterns and an electricity rate of A$0.35 per kilowatt-hour, the additional throughput may represent up to approximately A$5,950 in value over the lifetime of the system. The increase in usable capacity also improves energy density, lowering the effective cost per kilowatt-hour and supporting more efficient use of stored energy.

The 15 kWh configuration also aligns with current and upcoming policy frameworks benefitting residential battery adoption. This includes the updated Cheaper Home Batteries Program, with changes coming into effect for Australian homeowners from 1 May, 2026, helping households maximise value as incentives continue to evolve.

As the residential battery market expands, FranklinWH continues to focus on reliability and system performance. The aPower incorporates design elements to support durability, including structural reinforcement to reduce cell stress over time, per-cell temperature monitoring, and the separation of the battery pack and control systems to maintain reliable performance.

“We believe performance should be measured over years, not just at installation,” Ruskin added. “We focus on building systems that deliver consistent, reliable results over time. That long-term perspective is what ultimately defines value for homeowners.”

The aPower is designed to operate as part of the FranklinWH System, an integrated home energy management platform that coordinates energy generation, storage, and consumption. The system is designed to optimise multiple energy inputs, provide reliable backup power, and support more efficient and independent energy use at the household level.

About FranklinWH

FranklinWH Energy Storage is the manufacturer of the FranklinWH System. FranklinWH is a market-oriented, research-driven company focused on next-generation residential energy management and storage solutions. Located in Macquarie Park, Sydney with a global head office in the San Francisco Bay Area, FranklinWH’s team has decades of experience in energy systems, from design, through manufacturing, to sales and installation.
