Connecticut District Serving 15,300+ Students Will Implement Safe, Reliable, Tech-Led Transportation Services Beginning in 2027-28 School Year 

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stamford Public Schools (SPS) has awarded a 5-year contract to Zūm to modernize its student transportation beginning in the 2027–2028 school year.

Zum will upgrade the transportation experience for students, families, and schools by replacing legacy operating models with modern, technology-led transportation. By embracing innovation, the district is creating a safer and more predictable service that gives parents peace of mind and helps students arrive ready to learn.

“Providing students with safe, reliable transportation is essential to supporting learning and giving families confidence every school day,” said Dr. Tamu Lucero, Superintendent of Stamford Public Schools. “In selecting a transportation vendor, we sought a partner that shares our commitment to safety while delivering a more modern, efficient, and connected experience for students, parents, and school staff. We believe that Zum is well positioned to support Stamford Public Schools as the district’s transportation provider for years to come.”

Zum’s fully integrated Connected Mobility Experience (CMX) system connects people, vehicles, and operations in real time, reducing anxiety and creating reliable, safe and seamless transportation for families and schools.

Through Zum, Stamford Public Schools will experience:

Modern, transparent technology for families and districts: Zum CMX provides real-time, map-based ride tracking, AI-powered arrival time estimates, and rider verification for every trip. This shared visibility reduces uncertainty, ensures that all stakeholders have access to information in real time, and enables coordinated action across the system.
 Efficient, reliable transportation that supports student success: Optimized routes with a 98% on average on-time performance ensure predictable service and help students arrive on time and ready to learn. Zum CMX reduces unnecessary vehicle usage, shortens ride times, and improves overall system efficiency.
 An industry-leading driver and monitor model: Comprehensive training, competitive pay, and benefits attract and retain qualified drivers and monitors — addressing a nationwide driver shortage and designed to ensure 100% route coverage.
 State-of-the-art buses and infrastructure: Modern, air-conditioned buses and advanced safety technology are designed to enhance the student experience and improve drivers’ day-to-day work.
 A parent-first experience: Transparency is built into every ride, with real-time updates through the Zum app on bus location and student pickup and drop-off status.

Published

LOS ANGELES, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lucky Hand Mining Game LLC, a subsidiary of Buscar Company (OTC: CGLD), today announced the official launch of its game as a Telegram Mini App. The release represents the first phase of a major gaming ecosystem inspired by the California Gold Rush and the historical development of the U.S. gold mining industry.

The Lucky Hand Mining project is an interactive gaming platform that allows players to advance from novice prospector to owner of a major international mining company. Through engaging gameplay, participants experience the full spectrum of modern mining operations — including geological exploration, mineral extraction, raw material processing, infrastructure development, logistics, corporate management, and international resource trading.

Beyond entertainment, the project incorporates meaningful educational elements that provide players with a clearer understanding of today’s mining industry and natural resource economies.

Telegram was selected as the initial platform due to the rapid expansion of its Mini Apps ecosystem and its vast global user base. The company views Telegram as an ideal foundation for building a worldwide community and onboarding millions of players into the Lucky Hand Mining ecosystem.

According to the development roadmap, the first two seasons will be hosted entirely within the Telegram Mini App. During each season, players will grow their mining enterprises, participate in events and competitions, and refine personalized strategies. At the end of each season, rewards will be distributed to qualifying participants via the TON blockchain, a core component of the Telegram ecosystem.

Following the conclusion of Season Two, the project will advance to its next major phase. Season Three will introduce a full-scale, next-generation Web3 strategy experience in which players manage virtual mining companies, explore and develop new territories, compete for resources, forge economic alliances, and help shape a dynamic digital world that combines deep strategy, economic simulation, and modern blockchain technology.

“Launching the Telegram Mini App is a foundational step toward building a lasting international gaming ecosystem capable of uniting millions of players who are passionate about strategic gameplay, economic modeling, digital assets, and Web3 technologies,” said Alexander Dekhtyar, Chairman and CEO of Buscar Company. “We are excited to blend entertainment with real educational value about the mining sector while laying the groundwork for a sophisticated Web3 future on TON and beyond.”

Lucky Hand Mining Game LLC sees the Telegram Mini App launch as the cornerstone of a long-term, multi-million-player ecosystem at the intersection of gaming, education, and blockchain innovation.

TransparentBusiness, Inc. Announces Over $2.3 Billion In Real Estate Swap Agreements Using Unicoin (UNCN)

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TransparentBusiness, Inc. has announced a significant expansion of its real estate portfolio, entering into a series of real estate swap agreements with an aggregate estimated value exceeding $2.3 billion. As detailed in two recent Form 8-K filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company has contracted to acquire these properties in exchange for its cryptocurrency, unicoins (UNCN), rather than cash.

The recent SEC filings disclose two major sets of transactions:

June 9, 2026 Agreements: Swap agreements covering properties with an aggregate estimated value of $1.58 billion, in exchange for the issuance of 8,851,480,172 unicoins (UNCN).

June 15 and June 17, 2026 Agreements: Swap agreements covering properties located in the Philippines, valued at an estimated $757.8 million, against the issuance of 4,242,049,002 unicoins (UNCN).

“These agreements meaningfully expand the company’s contracted real estate position and reflect continued execution against our growth strategy,” said Alex Konanykhin, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TransparentBusiness, Inc.

Transaction Mechanics and UNCN Release Schedule

Under the terms of the agreements, TransparentBusiness, Inc. will issue the stated unicoins to the respective sellers via smart contract upon the delivery of executed Deeds of Absolute Sale and necessary title transfer documents. The issued UNCN will be subject to a strict release schedule aligned with the public launch of UNCN, which is scheduled for September 28, 2026. The schedule mandates a 20% unlocking on the launch date, followed by a 5% release each subsequent month. The property values reflect aggregate estimated valuations provided by the sellers, consisting of appraisals prepared by independent licensed appraisal firms and, in some cases, bank-provided valuations.

Status of Title and International Compliance

TransparentBusiness notes that these represent agreements to acquire the properties, and legal titles have not yet been transferred. Furthermore, to comply with Philippine law, which mandates that 60% of the land associated with each property be owned by Philippine persons, the company’s affiliated Philippine entities may hold legal title to certain assets. The company will report material developments and transaction closings as they occur.

Full details of the transactions are available to shareholders and the public on the SEC’s EDGAR database under TransparentBusiness, Inc. (CIK 0001740742).

About TransparentBusiness, Inc.:

TransparentBusiness Inc. is a Delaware corporation focusing on IT services and Digital Asset Treasury business. It is the issuer of Unicoin. Unicoin Inc. was launched in 2022 as the only publicly reporting and audited cryptocurrency operation, to provide a “Made in the USA” superior alternative to Bitcoin: scalable, energy-efficient, transparent, and regulation-compliant.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and the future performance of TransparentBusiness, Inc. These statements reflect current expectations and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the successful closing of the aforementioned real estate transactions and the public launch of UNCN.
