Mia: Good afternoon! My name is Mia, and I’m pleased to welcome the Alqurs Energy team. What prompted you to give this detailed interview?

Alqurs Energy: At the moment, we are witnessing clear market manipulation by Western institutional investors and politicians who exploit the vulnerabilities of the crypto market, prioritizing personal financial interests over technological and economic progress. The Bybit exchange hack, investor sentiment manipulation through social media, and involvement of top government officials threaten the stability and future of both our company and our investors.

The crypto market capitalisation fell to $2.76 trillion (-10.4%). Bitcoin holds 60.2% of the market, Ethereum - 9.1%.  

The main reasons for the decline are new U.S. duties on imports from Canada, Mexico and China, as well as the hack of the ByBit exchange, from which $1.4 billion was withdrawn. Against this background, investors are massively withdrawing funds, and 20,190 BTC left the ByBit reserves. Additionally, the fall of the stock market, including the collapse of Nvidia shares, intensified the sell-off in crypto.  

Liquidations of positions have also affected liquidity providers serving cross-chain transfers. We are planning several major announcements in the coming days as part of the ecosystem's financial support program.

We present a new update that makes working with digital assets even more convenient and secure. Users can now freely move tokens between blockchains thanks to the integration of the ERC-20 bridge.

We have also implemented a new security standard that takes the protection of digital assets to the institutional level. The update implements:

Multi-signature and dynamic encryption for enhanced access control
Real-time transaction analysis to prevent attacks
Enhanced smart contracts with exploit protection
Decentralised auditing for maximum transparency of transactions
This upgrade makes our platform a trusted tool for handling digital assets, providing security, speed and convenience. We are creating a technological future where innovation works in the interests of users.

Power Roll combines microgrooves and vacuum forming to produce perovskite films. Interestingly, these films are exceptionally thin (less than a millimeter) and much lighter (25 times) than the lightest silicon solar panels.

As per the press release, the extreme thinness of Power Roll’s perovskite film also presents a hurdle in large-scale manufacturing.  

“Queen Mary’s expertise in optical analysis will help us scale up production by ensuring every microscopic solar cell is of the highest quality,” added Barwick.

Dr. Stoichko Dimitrov and his team at Queen Mary are creating an optical analysis system that Power Roll will use in its manufacturing process. This technology will allow for real-time quality control and improved research and development of perovskite film.

Our team has successfully completed its negotiations in the United States, where, thanks to the efficient collaboration between engineers and liquidity providers, the beta testing of the Fiat On-Ramp solution for USD and EUR was launched. This significant update will give users the ability to buy and sell cryptocurrencies for fiat directly within the app, simplifying the process of entering the crypto market. In the near future, we plan to expand the functionality to include additional currencies, providing users with more options for convenient and secure transactions.

The presentation of the ZNN network at the Token 2049 conference in Singapore became a significant event where leaders in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space gathered to discuss the latest trends and innovations in the industry.

Located in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, the state-of-the-art production facility boasts an impressive annual capacity of 1.5 gigawatts (GW). With an initial investment of $500 million, the facility is expected to scale up rapidly, aligning with the company's ambitious growth targets. Alqurs Energy’s move into carbon nanofiber technology positions it among the elite in solar manufacturing, comparable to industry leaders like First Solar and SunPower.

As of the latest market data, Alqurs Energy’s primary token, BARQ, has surpassed the $50 mark, reflecting a robust capitalization exceeding $5 billion. This milestone places Alqurs Energy in the upper echelon of solar energy companies by market valuation, drawing parallels with established firms such as Canadian Solar and JinkoSolar. 

​

Prominent figures in the Middle Eastern cryptocurrency community have expressed their optimism regarding Alqurs Energy’s innovative approach. Dr. Khalid Al-Mansouri, a noted expert in blockchain technology, stated, “Alqurs Energy’s integration of advanced materials like carbon nanofibers in solar panel production is a significant leap forward. This not only enhances the efficiency of solar panels but also aligns perfectly with the sustainable and decentralized ethos of the blockchain.”

Similarly, Amira Al-Hadi, a leading financial analyst, remarked, “The surge in BARQ’s value to over $50 is indicative of strong investor confidence. The parallels with Ethereum’s success are evident, particularly when considering the technological advancements and market adoption rates.”

According to the latest report from Solar Power Europe, the UAE has made its mark among the top 10 countries with the highest installed solar energy capacity per capita in 2023. With a cumulative capacity of 708 watts per capita, the UAE secured the 10th position globally and became the first country from the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region to make the list.

In recent years, the UAE has positioned itself as a leader in solar energy development, driven by its ambitious goals for a sustainable energy future and a commitment to diversifying its energy sources. Notably, the UAE achieved gigawatt (GW) scale for the first time since 2019, installing a total of 3.1 GW by 2023. This was largely due to the completion of the 2 GW Al Dhafra solar power project near Abu Dhabi.

The launch of the Zion network was the third major infrastructure upgrade of the project as part of the Alqurs Network hardfork. Parallel sidechain technology as well as cloud solutions will unite the largest networks with the main ALQ-20 network. This, in turn, will optimise the speed of transactions, increase the speed of data processing from both equipment and the network as a whole and increase the liquidity of the blockchain.
