3 min read

OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TenCate, through its sub-companies and installation partners Valley Precision Grading (VPG) and Synthetic Grass Warehouse (SGW), has completed the installation of a new Pivot® Performance Turf soccer field at Burckhalter Elementary School, creating the only dedicated green space on campus. The TenCate team also installed a play-based agility mat, which is designed to support inclusive movement.

“The VPG and SGW teams delivered exceptional play surfaces on an accelerated timeline, and we are incredibly proud of their craftsmanship and commitment,” said Joe Fields, CEO of TenCate Americas. “At TenCate, we are dedicated to creating safe places for students to learn, play, and grow — and it is an honor to support the Burckhalter Elementary community with these new facilities.”

Pivot Performance Turf was selected for the field for its exceptional safety and durability. Pivot requires no black crumb rubber or other performance infills while still delivering the feel and performance of natural grass under intense play conditions. 

The project was funded in part by the Playing for Keeps Association, and the new field and agility mat were unveiled during the Vincent Country Safe Zone Activity Day Presented by Cigna Healthcare on February 3, 2026.

The Safe Zone Activity Day brings together corporate, nonprofit, and community partners focused on student wellness, education, and empowerment and the new Pivot field hosted interactive fitness sessions led by NFL Legends, NFL Flag programming, and skills challenges.

“We are deeply grateful to TenCate and the Playing for Keeps Association for supporting our mission and choosing to partner with Love Thy Neighbor CDC for the very first time in such a meaningful way,” said Tommi Vincent, co-founder of Love Thy Neighbor CDC, which hosted the Safe Zone Activity Day. “The donation and installation of a full-sized youth turf soccer field and the agility turf is more than a gift; it’s a commitment to growth, inclusion, and possibility. This investment ensures every child at Burckhalter Elementary for generations to come has a space to move, play, and feel seen, long after Vincent Country Safe Zone Activity Day concludes.”

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base

The post Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kalshi, the US-regulated prediction market exchange, rolled out a new program on Wednesday called KalshiEco Hub. The initiative, developed in partnership with Solana and Coinbase-backed Base, is designed to attract builders, traders, and content creators to a growing ecosystem around prediction markets. By combining its regulatory footing with crypto-native infrastructure, Kalshi said it is aiming to become a bridge between traditional finance and onchain innovation. The hub offers grants, technical assistance, and marketing support to selected projects. Kalshi also announced that it will support native deposits of Solana’s SOL token and USDC stablecoin, making it easier for users already active in crypto to participate directly. Early collaborators include Kalshinomics, a dashboard for market analytics, and Verso, which is building professional-grade tools for market discovery and execution. Other partners, such as Caddy, are exploring ways to expand retail-facing trading experiences. Kalshi’s move to embrace blockchain partnerships comes at a time when prediction markets are drawing fresh attention for their ability to capture sentiment around elections, economic policy, and cultural events. Competitor Polymarket recently acquired QCEX — a derivatives exchange with a CFTC license — to pave its way back into US operations under regulatory compliance. At the same time, platforms like PredictIt continue to push for a clearer regulatory footing. The legal terrain remains complex, with some states issuing cease-and-desist orders over whether these event contracts count as gambling, not finance. This is a developing story.
