Published

on

Key Highlights:

Austen launched: a new AI content platform from Intellistake, built as a suite of specialized expert agents around brand voice modeling and designed to produce written content that sounds authentically like the person using it.Enterprise AI generating revenue on sovereign compute: the IntelliScope suite, a collection of modular AI agents built to address specific enterprise challenges, runs on dedicated capacity hosted in Europe, beyond the reach of the U.S. CLOUD Act, on 100% renewable energy, and is already generating revenue under a previously announced contract with PowerBank Corporation, delivered to production.Validator earning on a top decentralized AI network: 1.97 million FET deployed on the Company’s ASI Alliance node, earning from both Company staking and third party delegations. FET is a core asset of the ASI Alliance, a decentralized artificial general intelligence (“AGI”) initiative.Focus on tokenized securities: a US$150,000 investment in ST0x, whose group has received Liechtenstein FMA approval of its EU Base Prospectus, enabling public offers of tokenized equity products across multiple EEA jurisdictions, supporting Intellistake’s participation in the Canadian regulator’s Project Tokenization.Strategic position in orbital AI compute: a completed US$500,000 equity investment in Orbit AI, which describes itself as building the decentralized SpaceXAI for AI agents, an orbital network aggregating satellite compute, communication and remote sensing into AI native infrastructure.Public market traction: added to the ‘CSE 25’ Index as one of the 25 largest companies on the CSE, and quoted on the OTCQB in the United States under ISTKF.

VANCOUVER, BC, June 11, 2026 /CNW/ – Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) (“Intellistake” or the “Company”), a technology company focused on decentralized artificial intelligence (“AI”) and blockchain infrastructure, today celebrates its first full year of operations, closing a year of execution and entering its second with clear momentum.

One year ago, the Company announced its change of business into decentralized AI and began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange as ISTK on July  9, 2025. Its goal has stayed the same throughout: regulated, simplified exposure to the digital economy for traditional investors, through familiar stock market mechanisms.

In twelve months, Intellistake has grown from an early stage plan into an operating technology company, with live infrastructure spanning enterprise AI, validator operations and digital asset treasury, alongside strategic investments in tokenized and artificial intelligence markets.

Intellistake operates within and backs decentralized, sovereign infrastructure: technology that keeps users in control of their own data and assets, rather than concentrating it inside a handful of centralized AI providers. That progress was underscored days ago with the unveiling of Austen, an AI content platform built in house as a suite of specialized expert agents around brand voice modeling, with an exclusive beta waitlist now open.

Enterprise AI on Sovereign Infrastructure

Austen is the newest of Intellistake’s AI products: a new AI content platform built as a suite of specialized expert agents around brand voice modeling, designed to produce written content that sounds authentically like the person using it. It is currently in development, with an exclusive beta waitlist now open (see press release).

Alongside Austen, Intellistake has advanced IntelliScope, its enterprise platform. The IntelliScope Enterprise Hub provides an adaptive framework for integrating AI agents within structured enterprise workflows, and has moved from concept to production over the year (see press release).

Under a contract with PowerBank Corporation, Intellistake has delivered an operational AI agent system, marking the Company’s first enterprise revenue.

To run those workloads, Intellistake secured dedicated, high performance sovereign compute through Singularity Compute, the AI infrastructure arm of SingularityNET (see press release).

The capacity is reserved exclusively for the Company, hosted in Sweden by a Swiss operator. That places both the data and the operator beyond the reach of the U.S. CLOUD Act, on 100% renewable energy.

For clients whose AI depends on sensitive data built over years, that sovereign positioning adds protection that the centralized cloud cannot. This is balanced against the risks of operating with smaller providers. It also deepens existing ties: Singularity Compute CEO Joe Honan sits on the Advisory Board (see press release), and SingularityNET founder Dr. Ben Goertzel, widely called the father of artificial general intelligence, is an advisor to the CEO (see press release).

Validator Infrastructure on a Decentralized Network

Intellistake brought its validator infrastructure online during the year.

Its node on the Fetch.ai network, within the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance, grew to 1.97 million FET tokens. It now earns from two sources: the Company’s own staking and third party delegations, the first reaching one million FET (see press release).

Treasury and Custody

A defining thread of the year has been the Company’s relationship with Singularity Venture Hub (“SVH”). SVH manages approximately US$90 million in digital assets*, has advised on projects reaching an aggregate US$250 million* valuation, and holds Swiss VASP/CASP licensing for non discretionary trading execution, on chain activities and custody operations (see press release).

That relationship has progressed to a definitive agreement under which Intellistake intends to acquire SVH. The proposed acquisition remains subject to closing conditions, including completion of financial statement audit requirements.

Strategic Investments in Tokenization and Orbital AI

Beyond its own operations, Intellistake has taken strategic positions in technologies it expects to shape the next phase of digital infrastructure and capital markets.

It completed a US$150,000 investment in ST0x, a platform building infrastructure for tokenized versions of publicly listed equities, following European prospectus approval (see press release).

Intellistake is participating in the Canadian Securities Administrators’ Project Tokenization, the initiative examining how tokenized financial products fit within Canadian securities law, having submitted an expression of interest. The Company expects its relationship with ST0x to inform and strengthen that participation.

The same thesis extends beyond the ground. Intellistake has completed an initial US$500,000 strategic equity investment in Orbit AI (see press release).

Orbit AI describes itself as building the decentralized SpaceXAI for AI agents: an orbital network that aggregates satellite AI compute, communication and remote sensing into AI native infrastructure for traders, builders and autonomous agents. Its first satellite launched in December 2025 and has since logged extended on orbit operations.1

Capital, Recognition and Governance

The Company closed an over subscribed C$5.75 million private placement during the year (see press release) and received C$2.17 million more from subsequent warrant exercises (see press release).

It was added to the ‘CSE 25’ Index as one of the 25 largest companies on the CSE (see press release), qualified for OTCQB quotation under ISTKF, and broadened an advisory board that spans finance, technology and digital asset infrastructure. Advisors include Shelly Murphy, DesTechAZ co founder alongside Steve Wozniak; Eric Fang, a former Goldman Sachs investment banker; and Shailendra Sason, a founding member of the digital asset team at Revolut, one of the largest and most valuable fintech companies in the world.

Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake, commented:

“One year in, I’m proud of how much we set out to do that is now operating. We have an enterprise AI platform running on sovereign infrastructure for a real client, a validator earning on a leading decentralized AI network, a treasury held through institutional grade custody, and now Austen.

A year ago much of this was a plan on paper. Today it is live, generating revenue and reaching customers. The move toward decentralization matters because it gives users control over their own data and assets, and that conviction has guided every step we have taken. I want to thank our shareholders for their support through this first year. Their confidence has allowed us to build deliberately, and we intend to carry that momentum into the next phase of the Company’s growth.”

Gregory Cowles, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Intellistake, added:

“The defining work of the year has been turning a strategy into operating infrastructure, deliberately and in sequence. Every piece we have put in place is designed to reinforce the others. The validator gives us a position on a leading decentralized AI network. The custody and treasury framework gives us the security institutional participants expect. The enterprise AI platform, now running on sovereign, dedicated compute, gives us a product clients can rely on with their most sensitive data. And our positions in tokenization point to where regulated capital markets are now showing interest in.

Building on that foundation, on sovereign infrastructure and with highgrade security throughout, is what positions Intellistake to scale into a market for clients that are seeking decentralized alternatives.”

Monport MEGAS Brings Advanced LightBurn Features to Desktop CO2 Laser Engraving

Published

on

By

New 70W desktop CO2 laser engraver brings LightBurn’s advanced feature set — autofocus, wireless connectivity and live camera placement — directly into the software, closing a gap most “LightBurn compatible” machines leave open.

SEATTLE, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As LightBurn continues to be the preferred software for makers, educators, and small manufacturing businesses, Monport is emphasizing the advanced workflow capabilities of its MEGAS 70W desktop CO2 laser engraver. The system enables users to perform autofocus, wireless connectivity, and live camera positioning directly inside LightBurn, creating a more streamlined production workflow than the basic compatibility offered by many desktop laser systems.

The integration allows users to complete nearly every production step directly inside LightBurn rather than switching between multiple software applications.

The announcement positions the MEGAS as a candidate for best CO2 laser engraver among software-focused buyers: makers, Etsy and Shopify sellers, and small production shops who run LightBurn daily and have grown frustrated switching between a manufacturer’s app and the software they actually use to build and send jobs. The feature announcement coincides with Monport’s Summer Sale, which drops the MEGAS to $2,799.99 for a limited time.

Why “LightBurn Compatible” Doesn’t Always Mean Full Support

LightBurn is the industry-standard control software for hobbyist and small-business laser systems, but compatibility varies widely between machines. Many desktop CO2 laser engravers can send basic cut and engrave jobs to LightBurn, yet require a separate manufacturer app for autofocus, camera alignment or wireless setup—breaking the workflow and adding extra steps every time a job changes materials or needs repositioning.

Industry buyers researching a 70W laser engraver often discover this gap only after purchase: a listing says “LightBurn compatible,” but autofocus still means picking up a manual gauge, and camera alignment means opening a second piece of software just to preview where a design will land.

Going Beyond Basic LightBurn Compatibility

Many competing desktop laser systems support basic LightBurn functions for cutting and engraving. Advanced features such as autofocus, wireless camera positioning and complete wireless workflow integration, however, are often limited, and may require proprietary software, or are unavailable inside LightBurn itself.

The Monport MEGAS was engineered to provide these advanced functions directly within LightBurn, helping users spend less time switching between applications and more time producing finished products— one of the reasons Monport designed the MEGAS specifically for LightBurn power users.

Autofocus Without Leaving LightBurn

On the MEGAS, autofocus is triggered and confirmed directly inside LightBurn, so operators can set material height and start a job without switching to a separate focusing tool or app. For a 70W laser engraver running frequent material changes—from thin acrylic sheet to thicker basswood board—that single-window workflow removes one of the more repetitive steps in a typical production day.

Wireless Connectivity Simplifies Shop Workflow

The wireless connection also enables operators to send jobs to the machine without repeatedly reconnecting USB cables, making the workflow especially useful in classrooms, shared makerspaces and production environments where multiple computers may access the laser.

The MEGAS connects to LightBurn over Wi-Fi, removing the tethered USB connection many desktop CO2 laser engravers still require. That means the machine can be positioned away from a workstation and run jobs sent wirelessly, a common request among small-shop and classroom users managing limited floor space or shared equipment.

Live Camera Placement Inside LightBurn

An onboard wireless camera streams a live view of the work surface into LightBurn, letting users position and align artwork on pre-printed or irregular material directly on screen instead of manually measuring and test-firing the laser.

From Design File to Finished Product

For many laser users, efficiency is measured by how quickly a design becomes a finished product. With the MEGAS, users can import artwork into LightBurn, position the design using the live wireless camera, activate autofocus with a single click, and begin engraving without leaving the software.

By keeping every major production step inside one interface, the workflow reduces setup time, minimizes alignment errors, and simplifies repeat production for businesses engraving dozens—or even hundreds—of personalized products each day on their desktop CO2 laser engraver.

Real-World Material Performance

To demonstrate production versatility, during internal testing, Monport evaluated the MEGAS across several materials commonly used by Etsy sellers, gift businesses and production workshops:

Plywood — crisp engraved wooden signs with clean edgesAcrylic — polished awards and plaques with sharp detailLeather — high-contrast wallet engraving with minimal scorching

The testing demonstrates that a single desktop CO2 laser engraver can handle multiple product categories without requiring significant workflow changes.

Better ROI for Small Businesses

Monport also compared estimated material costs with typical retail pricing across four popular product categories:

Engraved plywood sign: Approximately $35 retail price with about $5 in material costs.Engraved acrylic award: Approximately $45 retail price with about $8 in material costs.Engraved leather wallet: Approximately $55 retail price with about $12 in material costs.

Based on estimated material costs alone, these products show potential material-cost margins of approximately 75% to 85%, before accounting for labor, packaging, shipping, platform fees and other operating expenses. Monport says the combination of higher-margin products, intelligent batch engraving, and a streamlined LightBurn workflow can help small businesses, Etsy sellers, and Shopify merchants recover their investment more quickly as production scales.

Built for Professional LightBurn Users

While M-Design Hub, Monport’s free Windows and macOS software, offers AI-powered image processing, one-click material settings and intelligent batch engraving, Monport says the MEGAS was equally designed for experienced LightBurn users who prefer complete control over every project.

Supporting both software environments gives creators the flexibility to choose an automated workflow for everyday production or LightBurn’s advanced tools for more complex engraving jobs—a combination Monport believes makes the case for the MEGAS as a best CO2 laser engraver choice regardless of skill level.

“LightBurn has become the workflow that thousands of makers and small businesses rely on every day,” said Monport CEO.

“Our goal with the MEGAS was to eliminate unnecessary software switching by bringing advanced features like autofocus, wireless connectivity and live camera positioning directly into LightBurn. That lets users focus on production instead of setup.”

Explore Advanced LightBurn Features on the MEGAS

Monport is positioning the MEGAS as an entry point for LightBurn users who want to explore the software’s advanced feature set without adding a second app to their workflow. Full setup guides and LightBurn configuration walkthroughs for the MEGAS are available on Monport’s website.

Summer Sale Pricing

As part of Monport’s Summer Sale this July, the MEGAS desktop CO2 laser engraver is available at a special offer price of $2,799.99—the limited-time promotional price on the machine to date. The discount is applied automatically at checkout; no promo code is required. The offer runs for a limited time or while supplies last and includes two complimentary laser marking spray bottles, used to prepare bare metal surfaces such as stainless steel for laser marking.
