BLOCKOFFICE ACQUIRES WEB3 MARKETING AGENCY POWERHOUSE- ACTIV8 LAB (PREVIOUSLY LYDIAN LABS)- ORGANISER OF MALAYSIA BLOCKCHAIN WEEK

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Full-stack Web3 solutions provider Lydian Labs, known for their flagship event Malaysia Blockchain Week 2025 (MYBW), has been officially acquired by BlockOffice.

BlockOffice provides fractional CFO, company formation, accounting & taxes, fundraising and backoffice services for Web3 & tech companies. Additionally, BlockOffice is also funded by founders, investors and C levels from tier 1 companies such as Accel, Deel, Nium, Wise, Coinbase, Temasek and more.

"At BlockOffice, we focus on providing fractional CFO & finance backoffice solutions for our clients. We produce P&L and growth metrics and often see that they are lacking options in efficient growth & marketing strategies with positive ROI. It is extremely rare to find principled marketing experts like Noelle and Ian from ACTIV8 (previously Lydian Labs) who work closely with clients to drive objective-focused growth and goals. By providing our clients Web3 marketing expertise via ACTIV8 with hundreds of case studies, our services now go beyond finance and backoffice by imbuing their campaigns with better results and amplified growth." -- Jay Lim, Founder & CEO of BlockOffice Group.

NEW BEGINNINGS AS ACTIV8, SAME STRONG ROOTS

Upon the acquisition by BlockOffice, Lydian Labs has been rebranded to ACTIV8. The two main operating co-founders from Lydian Labs– Noelle Lee and Dr. Ian Tan– will transition over to ACTIV8 as its leadership, along with most of the prior employees while the remaining members will depart from the business.

"ACTIV8 is proud to inform and reassure all its stakeholders that this acquisition will strengthen our ability to deliver better results. With more resources, we will help our clients achieve better growth and success compared to our time at Lydian Labs." – Managing Partner of ACTIV8 (previously Lydian Labs), Noelle Lee.

In fact, in less than 3 months of the acquisition right after Malaysia Blockchain Week, the company is producing 3x growth in sales on a year-on-year basis.

ACTIV8 will work closely with BlockOffice leadership and its international teams across Asia, US and Europe after its acquisition, operating as part of BlockOffice's main operations within the Web3 and blockchain landscape.

Beyond ACTIV8, BlockOffice has strengthened its ecosystem through acquisitions such as Pixel8Labs, a leading technology studio with expertise in building crypto exchanges, gaming, payment platforms, launchpads, NFTs and DeFi applications.

With ACTIV8 as their latest acquisition, BlockOffice now brings together five pillars of expertise, namely:

MALAYSIA BLOCKCHAIN WEEK 2026 WILL BE EVEN GRANDER

ACTIV8 will remain as the official organizer of Malaysia Blockchain Week (MYBW), which debuted in 2024 under Lydian Labs.

This year's MYBW 2025 was successfully held in July with more than 6,000 local and international attendees, marking it as one of the region's most influential Web3 events. Graced by both Minister of Digital YB Gobind Singh Deo and Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation YB Chang Lih Kang, MYBW 2025 lit the path for the future of Web3 in Malaysia, and will continue to forge ahead as one of Southeast Asia's leading Web3 events.

"Malaysia Blockchain Week is the pride and joy of Malaysia and the team behind it. As ACTIV8, we will continue to provide a launchpad for all things Web3 for Malaysians and the world. The current MYBW working team will continue to grow the IP to be stronger and bigger, aligned with its goals to make Malaysia a regional blockchain hub." -- Dr Ian Tan, Managing Partner of ACTIV8 (previously Lydian Labs).

MYBW 2025 achieved record growth, doubling attendance, speakers, and overall footfall compared to its 2024 debut. With BlockOffice's global network of Web3 experts, planning for the flagship national Web3 event MYBW 2026 is already underway and promises to make an even greater impact.

BLOCKOFFICE ACQUIRES WEB3 MARKETING AGENCY POWERHOUSE- ACTIV8 LAB (PREVIOUSLY LYDIAN LABS)- ORGANISER OF MALAYSIA BLOCKCHAIN WEEK

SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RoboSense (02498 HKEX), a pioneering AI-driven robotics technology company, has been ranked No.1 in the 2025 3D LiDAR Sales Volume for Global Robotic Lawn Mowers by OFweek. Leveraging the generational-leading advantages of its digital LiDAR, such as the E1R, RoboSense has established deep partnerships with multiple global leading robotic lawn mower companies, including Mammotion and Segway Navimow. These collaborations have set a new benchmark for the next-generation boundary-free intelligent robotic lawn mowers driving industry development.

RoboSense's strong performance in the robotic lawn mower segment also drove record-breaking sales growth of its LiDAR products in the robotics sector in 2025, achieving an annual sales volume of 303,000 units—a year-on-year increase of 1141.8%. According to the Gaogong Industry Research Institute (GGII), "2025 Sales Volume Ranking of 3D LiDAR for Robotics in China," RoboSense ranked No.1 for LiDAR sales volume in the robotics sector, demonstrating leadership across both niche segments and the overall robotics market.

The robotic lawn mower segment was the fastest-growing robot category in 2025. According to IDC, in the first half of 2025 alone, global shipments of robotic lawn mowers reached 2.343 million units, representing a year-on-year increase of 327.2%. In this process, RoboSense's digital LiDAR, leveraging its self-developed SPAD-SoC and VCSEL digital chip architecture for high performance and reliability, has become a key driver in enabling perception upgrades and supporting market growth for robotic lawn mowers.

The E1R, the world's first fully solid-state digital LiDAR for robotics, features a 90° ultra-wide vertical FOV and 144 beams, allowing precise detection of small ground obstacles, terrain changes, and fence edges—facilitating accurate localization, mapping, and navigation for robotic lawn mowers. Its fully solid-state design ensures resilience to vibration, bumps, and shocks, improving operational stability on rough terrain by up to three times. Built to automotive-grade standards, the E1R has passed more than 60 reliability tests, including UV aging, salt spray, and electromagnetic compatibility, and can reliably operate in harsh conditions such as rain and dust. With an outdoor service life of up to 8 years, far exceeding industry standards, it serves as the optimal perception partner for all-weather, all-condition robotic lawn mower operation.

Leveraging its leading digital LiDAR products, RoboSense has become a core partner for multiple global leading robotic lawn mower companies. As the global market penetration of robotic lawn mowers continues to grow, the application of LiDAR is expected to enter a new phase of rapid expansion, with RoboSense poised to capitalize on its first-mover advantage and lead the way into the next era of strong growth.
