Bringing professional-grade comfort solutions to everyday homes

NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — VEVOR, the home improvement brand trusted by over 10 million customers worldwide, today announced the global launch of its new Towel Warmers series. This new series embodies VEVOR’s approach to winter comfort: professional-grade warmth that’s accessible to every home.

At the core of the VEVOR Towel Warmers is the proprietary 360° Surround Heating Technology — a direct response to a common frustration with traditional towel warmers. Many conventional models suffer from uneven heating and poor heat retention, often leaving towels warm on the outside but cold at the center. VEVOR’s innovative system addresses this pain point with a complete circular heating element configuration, complemented by additional bottom heating, ensuring truly uniform warmth with no cold spots. Every inch of the towel is enveloped in consistent heat, reaching a cozy 155°F and maintaining consistent warmth throughout. It’s this attention to detail that transforms a simple morning routine into a moment of complete comfort — wrapping every part of your body in reliable warmth.

“VEVOR has built its reputation on professional-grade, durable tools at accessible prices,” said Gavin, Brand Director. “But we equally prioritize the emotional value our products bring to users’ daily experiences. The Towel Warmer series represents our commitment to upgrading everyday life for every household member. We believe true warmth should be reliable, safe, and accessible to everyone — not a luxury, but a dependable comfort that families can count on every day.”

The series is an ideal solution for families with young children who need to be wrapped in warmth after a bath, elderly members seeking the therapeutic comfort of heat, and anyone who cherishes a spa-like start to their morning. Its applications go beyond towels, making it perfect for warming baby blankets, preparing skincare cloths, or providing gentle warmth for elderly care. Well-received by users on Amazon, the series has earned praise for its quality, ease of use, and attractive design — often described as a thoughtful home upgrade that brings everyday comfort and warmth to life.

The VEVOR Towel Warmers include three temperature settings and four timer options through an LED control interface, giving users precise control over their comfort experience. A 24-hour delay start function allows your towels are warm and ready — imagine waking up to perfectly warmed towels without lifting a finger.

For families with young children, safety is paramount. The integrated child safety lock effectively prevents accidental operation, offering peace of mind to parents who want to enjoy the warm towels without worrying about curious little hands. Combined with the bottom drainage design that simplifies maintenance, these features bring spa-quality comfort to everyday home use.

The Towel Warmers series represents VEVOR’s continued expansion into diverse home improvement categories. This series embodies VEVOR’s mission to democratize the premium home ecosystem. Through the brand’s vertically integrated model and commitment to engineering, VEVOR delivers professional-grade equipment at a value-driven price, empowering families to build the life they envision without compromise.

The VEVOR Towel Warmers series is now available for purchase on vevor.com, Amazon and other authorized channels.

HONG KONG, Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DeriW, a decentralized futures trading platform incubated by CoinW, has seen rapid growth following its mainnet launch, as the perp DEX sector continues to capture the spotlight, experiencing accelerated development fueled by a surging influx of capital and expertise.

Marked by instant execution, zero funding rates, and a razor-thin 0.01% trading fee, DeriW is storming the scene with its CEX-comparable trading experience, rising as a pivotal force reshaping the future of decentralized derivatives.

Meet DeriW: The Dark Horse in Perp DEX

At TOKEN2049 Singapore, DeriW shone brightly as a rising star in the perp DEX space. The platform’s bold vision and ultra-competitive cost model have sparked lively discussions on-site, grabbing news headlines across leading media outlets.

The striking presence at the influential crypto summit reflects DeriW’s recent robust momentum. Since launching its mainnet in August, it has attracted over 40,000 users, with a cumulative trading volume surpassing $900 million.

The platform has drawn rave reviews from users as well. Its incentive mechanisms are widely praised as “real and rewarding” within the community, and many users claim trading on the platform feels seamless – to a level rivaling major centralized players.

For DeriW, this dual endorsement from business metrics and user sentiment provides a solid foundation for its ongoing expansion.

Enhanced speed, cost efficiency, and security: Crafting a CEX-Rivaling Trading Experience

DeriW’s swift ascent stems from its technical competitiveness across three fronts: speed, cost efficiency, and security.

DeriW is equipped with its proprietary Pendulum AMM, a design to enable zero-slippage trading and enhance capital efficiency and market depth. With cutting-edge matching mechanisms, transactions can be completed in milliseconds, boosting user confidence with high efficiency.

Meanwhile, DeriW has implemented a fee structure consisting of zero funding rates, zero gas fees and 0.01% trading fees. This brings its overall trading cost to just one-fifth of those of mainstream players, unlocking greater profit potential for traders.

On the security side, DeriW has established robust risk infrastructures, drawing on CoinW’s eight years of proven expertise. They are characterized by a non-custodial wallet design giving users real asset ownership, and a comprehensive audit from CertiK to boost trust and transparency.

Supernova+: Fueling the Growth with an Effective Incentive System

Well-designed incentive mechanisms have become a critical accelerator for early-stage Perp DEX projects. DeriW’s Supernova+ points program is the vivid example.

The program, designed to encourage users to build the ecosystem through trading, referrals, and community engagement, has concluded its first season recently, generating strong community buzz.

Supernova+ provides a clear path for value accumulation: participants earn 5 DER+ points for every 50 USDT in eligible trading volume, and they can earn 300% of their invitees’ trading points through referrals. These points serve not only as the primary credential for future TGE airdrops, but also as tickets to feature unlocks and long-term utilities.

With these metrics, DeriW aims to create an incentive program rewarding users for trading behavior rather than artificial task farming. This approach cultivates a loyal user base and lays the groundwork for a thriving ecosystem.

Future Roadmap: Deepening User-Driven Optimizations

Looking ahead, DeriW is committed to elevating the trading experience through user-driven optimizations. Key priorities include improving the ecosystem, listing a broader range of financial products, and cultivating a global trading community.

“Decentralization should not come at the expense of speed and accessibility,” DeriW’s PR Manager, Tharaka Kahaduwa stated. “We aspire to be the first platform that truly harmonizes decentralization, security, and seamlessness, empowering our users with the best possible derivatives trading journey.” 

Leading the Change: The Perp DEX ‘Experience Revolution’ Unfolds

Perp DEXs are spearheading an “experience revolution” in derivatives trading through intermediary-free operations, low costs, and asset non-custody. At the forefront of this shift, DeriW is redefining the future of decentralized derivatives with its offering, ushering users into a new era of on-chain finance.

As iterations accelerate and reach widens, DeriW is crafting tomorrow’s benchmark—one lightning trade at a time.

About DeriW 

DeriW is the first zero-gas-fee decentralized perpetual contract exchange, blending Ethereum’s security with Layer 3 scalability to deliver CEX-like efficiency in a decentralized framework. Operated by CoinW’s seasoned fintech team, it redefines trading with 80,000 TPS throughput, ensuring speed, transparency, and trustless execution. 

To learn more about DeriW, you can visit the website, and follow DeriW’s X Account, and Telegram Group.

Disclaimer

DeriW is an independent initiative and operates separately from any regulated CoinW exchange entity. It is a non-custodial and non-regulated platform, and users access DeriW entirely at their own risk. By using DeriW, users acknowledge full responsibility for their trading decisions and asset security. As with all decentralized and self-custodial platforms, users are solely responsible for their trading decisions and asset security. Participation involves inherent risks that should be carefully evaluated.

Autonomy has moved beyond the cockpit to the factory floor, the hangar, and the supply chain—transforming Aerospace Operations

PLEASANTON, Calif., Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Avathon today announced the launch of Autonomy for Aerospace Operations, a unified AI and knowledge platform that connects manufacturing, supply chain, and maintenance data to drive coordinated decision-making across the aerospace lifecycle.

Avathon is the leader in Industrial AI.

By integrating insights from production quality, Bill of Materials (BOM), supplier sourcing, parts availability, and workforce capacity, the platform enables organizations to synchronize manufacturing and logistics decisions with in-service maintenance and repair operations—reducing Aircraft on Ground (AOG) events, improving throughput and quality, and strengthening fleet readiness.

The aerospace industry faces mounting operational pressures. Airlines and operators must maintain aging fleets while executing complex network repairs; OEMs must scale production while meeting uncompromising quality standards; and supply chains are strained by diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS), long lead times, and geopolitical or trade-driven sourcing constraints.

At the same time, technician shortages and retirements create critical gaps across maintenance teams, threatening both schedule compliance and asset availability.

These pressures are amplified by the mismatch between aircraft lifecycles and component lifecycles, requiring continuous spare-parts redesign, strategic positioning, and supply-chain orchestration. With over 700,000 new maintenance technicians projected to be needed globally by 2043—and the U.S. short by 50,000 in just two years—alongside components turning over every 5–10 years, aerospace organizations must adopt intelligent, autonomous operations to maintain production efficiency, fleet readiness, and network reliability.

Avathon’s Autonomy Platform is already deployed within several of the world’s leading aerospace organizations. These collaborations ensure Avathon’s solutions address the operational realities of OEMs, MROs, and Air Transport operators.

“The aerospace sector is balancing extraordinary demand with extraordinary constraints,” said Beckett Jackson, Board Member at Avathon and Partner at AE Industrial Partners. “As investors, we see the opportunity for AI to fundamentally change how this industry manages complexity. Avathon’s approach stands out because it doesn’t just provide insights or narrow automation—it reasons across manufacturing, maintenance, and supply networks in a way that compounds efficiency and resilience over time.”

The Avathon Autonomy Platform converts dispersed data across manufacturing, supply, and in-service operations into knowledge that autonomous agents act on in real time.

“Autonomy represents the next leap forward for aerospace operations,” said Bernie Dunn, Advisor to Avathon and former President of Boeing Middle East, Turkey, and Africa. “Having worked with OEMs and airlines across multiple regions, I’ve seen firsthand how operational complexity and supply constraints ripple across the globe. The industry doesn’t just need better data—it needs systems that can act on it in real time. Avathon’s platform embeds decision-making where it matters most—maintenance, quality, and supply—delivering efficiency and resilience across every operation, anywhere in the world.”

Powered by a computational knowledge graph (CKG), the Avathon Autonomy Platform connects operational data across assets, people, and processes. The system continuously learns from new inputs, allowing AI agents to reason across the full lifecycle—from build to maintain to sustain—while remaining transparent and fully auditable.

“Aerospace is one of the most complex operating environments on earth,” said Pervinder Johar, CEO of Avathon. “Our mission is to bring autonomy to operations that can’t fail—whether it’s a factory floor or a fleet in service. By uniting data across manufacturing, maintenance, and supply, we’re helping the industry achieve safer, faster, and more efficient performance at scale.”

Autonomy for Aerospace Operations is available now for OEMs, MROs, and commercial operators. Visit www.avathon.com for more information.

About Avathon:

Avathon delivers industrial autonomy powered by AI and knowledge graphs, enabling organizations to connect data, decisions, and execution across operations. Its Autonomy Platform brings decision intelligence and execution to the world’s most critical industries, empowering safer, more resilient, and more efficient operations.
