The Solana-based token has posted successive price milestones since April as BC Engine adds rewards, ecosystem contributors, buybacks and burn functions

BELIZE CITY, Belize, July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BC Token ($BC), the native token of the BC.GAME ecosystem, reached approximately $0.01561 on July 17, marking its highest recorded price to date and extending a series of price milestones established over the past three months.

At the time of publication, market data on GMGN showed $BC remaining close to $0.015.

The latest record continues a progression that began shortly after BC Engine launched on April 8. $BC reached approximately $0.01181 on April 12 before rising to around $0.01237 in June. The July high is about 26% above the June milestone and 32% higher than the April record.

A Broader Role for $BC

Alongside the token‘s recent market performance, BC.GAME has continued expanding the functions connected to $BC through BC Engine.

BC Engine enables users to earn $BC through eligible platform activity and participate in hourly reward distributions denominated in BCD. This gives the token an ongoing role within the platform rather than limiting it to a one-time user reward.

The system also includes Engine Nodes, which connect participating products and partners to the wider reward ecosystem. Current contributors include BC Originals, Croco Gaming and sportsbook technology provider BETBY.

Through this structure, value generated across different parts of the BC.GAME ecosystem can contribute to BC Engine reward distributions, strengthening the connection between platform activity and $BC participation.

Rewards, Buybacks and Token Supply

BC Engine now brings together several elements of the $BC ecosystem, including hourly rewards, Engine Nodes, platform buybacks and token burns.

Under BC.GAME’s daily buyback mechanism, repurchased $BC is redistributed to eligible active users as instant rewards rather than being automatically removed from circulation.

Token burns operate separately. When eligible $BC is unstaked before completing the applicable seven-day period, 1% of the unstaked amount is permanently removed from circulation.

Together, these mechanisms support continued participation, connect more products and partners to BC Engine, return repurchased tokens to active users and provide a defined supply-management function.

Next Steps for BC Engine

BC.GAME plans to add more products and ecosystem partners as Engine Nodes while improving the visibility of reward distributions, staking activity, buybacks and token burns through the BC Engine interface.

The platform will also continue developing additional uses for $BC across BC Originals, sportsbook products, online casino offerings and other crypto-based reward experiences.

MUNICH, July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tongwei made an impact at Intersolar Europe 2026, launching its premium technology upgrade, TNC 3.0 BIFIMAX, alongside the upgraded residential star module, TNC 2.0 G12R-48. Pairing industry-leading efficiency milestones for utility projects with aesthetic solutions for residential roofs, Tongwei demonstrated its commitment to meeting diverse, global market needs.

The Powerhouse for Utilities: TNC 3.0 BIFIMAX

The exhibition’s highlight was the global debut of TNC 3.0 BIFIMAX, representing a major technical breakthrough that delivers maximum energy yield on high-reflection surfaces.

Certified by TÜV Rheinland, TNC 3.0 BIFIMAX achieves a record bifaciality rate of up to 93.07%, alongside power output up to 770W and conversion efficiency up to 24.8%.

Higher Financial Returns: Higher bifaciality allows the modules to generate much more power from the rear side—delivering a free energy bonus. For a 100MW solar plant in Hamburg, Germany, this configuration generates an extra €180,000 in revenue annually compared to standard modules, unlocking an extra 81.62 million kWh of clean electricity over its lifetime.Built for Extremes: Featuring a low temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C, it remains highly efficient under scorching heat. Its specialized Louvred Interconnection boosts micro-crack resistance by over 100%, protecting the asset from heavy snow and strong winds.

Tailored for Residential Roofs: The Upgraded TNC 2.0 G12R-48

To meet the growing demand for premium home solar, Tongwei also unveiled the upgraded residential star product: the TNC 2.0 G12R-48. This module balances top-tier performance with home aesthetics.

Maximum Power in Golden Size: The module delivers up to 480W with a 24% conversion efficiency. At a compact size of under 2 m², it maximizes limited roof space and makes installation much easier for local crews.Extended “All-Day” Generation: Powered by Tongwei’s 360° 3D passivation tech, the module minimizes energy loss and improves performance during low-light hours. This extends daily generation hours—starting earlier at dawn, ending later at dusk.Extreme Weather Protection & Sleek Look: Featuring Louvred Interconnection tech, the module ensures better stress distribution. This effectively eliminates micro-crack risks caused by heavy snow and strong winds common in high-latitude European winters. Additionally, its uniform, elegant design blends seamlessly with modern residential architecture.

By delivering both the high-yield TNC 3.0 BIFIMAX for utilities and the aesthetic TNC 2.0 G12R-48 for residential markets, Tongwei continues to provide reliable solar solutions tailored to specific energy needs.
