Published

on

FOMO Pay has received validator approval on Canton, and this will help expand its payment infrastructure with an institutional-grade blockchain network purpose-built for regulated financial markets.The approval positions FOMO Pay to leverage Canton for B2B payments and settlements, adding to FOMO Pay’s existing multi-chain, multi-rail, and multi-currency payments network.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FOMO Pay, a leading Major Payment Institution and Singapore’s first Digital Payment Token licensee, today announced that it has received validator approval on Canton, the privacy-enabled blockchain network built for regulated financial markets. FOMO Pay joins the network alongside a growing ecosystem of global financial institutions.

Canton allows participants to securely transact and share information with authorised counterparties while maintaining confidentiality. The network processes more than 600,000 transactions per day, reflecting growing institutional adoption across payments, settlement, and tokenised asset workflows.

Validator approval on Canton reflects the trust and credibility FOMO Pay has established as a regulated payment institution in Asia. Through its validator role, FOMO Pay will operate a dedicated node on Canton, gaining a private, institutional-grade gateway to transact with authorised counterparties. The company intends to leverage Canton for institutional B2B payment and settlement use cases, expanding its multi-chain payment network. Validator approval also marks an expansion of FOMO Pay’s institutional payment infrastructure, which currently supports enterprise payment flows across traditional banking rails and major blockchain networks and serves clients across Southeast Asia, the Greater Bay Area, and the Middle East and North Africa.

“Receiving validator approval reflects how we think about building payment infrastructure, not around a single blockchain or a single payment rail, but across a growing range of networks that institutional finance will increasingly rely on,” said Louis Liu, Founder and CEO of FOMO Pay. “As the leading payment orchestration network in Asia, licensed across multiple markets, FOMO Pay is building regulated payment infrastructure that connects traditional financial systems with institutional-grade blockchain networks designed for compliant financial use cases. Canton represents the next step in that strategy.”

This milestone further reinforces FOMO Pay’s focus on building a compliant multi-chain, multi-rail, and multi-currency payment infrastructure, and as institutional adoption of blockchain-based financial infrastructure accelerates, FOMO Pay will continue to expand the rails, chains, and corridors through which it moves money and value. This will enable FOMO Pay to connect its multi-rail payment infrastructure with institutional digital asset and settlement infrastructure, helping to build a network capable of serving the full spectrum of payment and settlement needs.

New website helps parents get kids active and reduce their screen time

Published

By

CALGARY, AB, Sept. 21, 2026 /CNW/ — Active for Life today launched ItsChildsPlay.ca, a free website that shows parents how to get their kids moving and off their screens.

The World Health Organization identifies physical activity as essential to health and well-being from the earliest years. Science finds that play builds executive function, social skills like negotiation and cooperation, motor development, and the ability to regulate stress and anxiety. Yet most Canadian children and youth fall well short:

80% do not get the recommended two hours of daily active play.63% do not get the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity.

Parents know these facts, but many remain uncertain about how to get their children moving, especially so when overwhelmed with the struggle to limit their children’s screen time.

ItsChildsPlay.ca provides practical solutions that show parents how easy it is to engage in fun activities with their children at home without costly equipment, struggle or stress.

ItsChildsPlay.ca was created by Active for Life, a web-based initiative that helps educators and parents build active play into children’s lives. The site is being promoted with a series of radio ads across Canada, with help from the Pro Bono Group.

Quotes

“For fifteen years, parents have been telling the Active for Life team that getting children to engage in active play is hard. We understand the challenge,” said Richard Monette, who leads Active for Life. “This is why we built ItsChildsPlay.ca: a resource for parents that’s easy to use, takes minutes a day and is good for their child’s body and mind.”

Beyond the L2 Max Dual Motor, the campaign also highlights the DT2 Pro and Gosoul 2 Pro Dual Motor, offering additional options for riders looking for different levels of performance and versatility. For outdoor enthusiasts requiring greater range and performance, the DT2 Pro off-road e-scooter stands out with a 71-mile range, 2,912W of peak power, and a top speed of 40 mph. Building on the L2 Max Dual Motor’s practical feature set, the DT2 Pro upgrades the braking system to hydraulic disc brakes with E-ABS for stronger stopping power and better control.

The Gosoul 2 Pro Dual Motor e-scooter provides an affordable entry into high-performance dual-motor riding, making it an ideal choice for riders new to this level of performance. With 2,800W of peak output, a top speed of up to 36 mph, and the ability to handle inclines of up to 33%, it is a capable electric scooter for short trips, tackling hilly routes and varied terrain during fall outings.
