MOONLEX Launches Sunflower X on Kickstarter: Turning sleep lighting from passive illumination into active environment management

2026-04-27 21:00 Last Updated At：21:15

HONG KONG, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MOONLEX officially launched its smart lamp Sunflower X globally on Kickstarter on April 28, 2026, aiming to redefine sleep lighting by turning it from passive illumination into active environment management through intelligent sensing and personalized sleep optimization technology.

Sleep is not a simple on/off switch. For most people, the real experience is shaped by bedtime relaxation, falling asleep, and waking up in the morning. Sunflower X is not designed to give users one more smart device to manage. It is designed to let the bedroom take the right action automatically at the right time.

Sunflower X is a smart bedside lamp that starts waking users during the best wake-up window, auto-fades light and audio after they fall asleep, contactlessly monitors sleep and body status without using a camera, and adapts its self-optimizing personalized wake-up curve to everyone's natural body rhythm.

One of Sunflower X's most compelling features is that, unlike a traditional alarm clock that rings at a fixed time, it helps users wake up naturally within their Best Wake-up Window through more suitable light and rhythm. It redefines the morning wake-up experience: instead of simply calling the user awake at one fixed time, it identifies a more suitable wake-up moment within the user's selected window and uses a self-optimizing personalized wake-up curve to help the user transition more smoothly from sleep to wakefulness.

Traditional alarm clocks usually perform only one action: they ring when the time arrives. Traditional wake-up lights usually follow only one logic: they gradually brighten before a fixed time. Sunflower X is designed to solve the more important questions: When is the right moment to begin waking someone up? What kind of light makes waking up feel more comfortable?

Through contactless millimeter-wave radar, Sunflower X can sense changes in the user's sleep state and support sleep-state detection. Once the user enters the best wake-up window, the system starts a simulated sunrise combined with white noise during a more suitable wake-up phase, creating a waking experience that feels closer to naturally waking up in nature instead of mechanically waiting for a fixed alarm time. At the same time, Sunflower X supports biological rhythm learning and self continuity optimization, continuously learning how the user responds to different brightness levels, color temperatures, brightening speeds, and wake-up durations, gradually forming a personalized wake-up curve that better matches the user's personal habits.

The core design logic of Sunflower X is to turn wake-up from a single time point into an intelligent window.

Users can set a target wake-up time and a wake-up window in the MOONLEX App. For example, if a user wants to get up by 7:30, Sunflower X can continuously assess the user's sleep status between 7:00 and 7:30. When the system identifies a stage that is more suitable for waking, Sunflower X begins with low-interruption light and gradually increases brightness and color temperature, helping the body enter a waking transition before it is forced awake by a sudden sound.

Dynamic Learning for Each Person's Best Wake-Up Light

Different users have different sensitivities to light. Some people are better suited to an earlier and softer brightening process. Some need a more noticeable change in brightness. Others respond very differently to warm and cool color temperatures. A fixed light curve cannot adapt to each person's real long-term habits.

The advantage of Sunflower X is not only that it can produce light, but that it can self-optimize how to deliver light.

In everyday use, Sunflower X continuously optimizes the wake-up curve based on data such as the user's sleep state, wake-up response, manual adjustments, the time when the light is turned off, and feedback in the App. Over time, the system learns:

which sleep states usually make it easier for the user to wake up;
the user's acceptance of low, medium, and high brightness levels;
whether the user is better suited to a shorter or longer brightening process;
how the user responds to warm light, daylight-like light, and higher color temperatures;
whether the user often delays getting up, manually turns off the light, or falls back asleep.

As usage increases, Sunflower X gradually evolves from a standard wake-up curve into a more personalized wake-up strategy, making each morning's wake-up experience closer to the user's real biological rhythm.

AI Sensing 3- Stages Wake-Up

Pre-Wake Stage

After the user's best wake-up window begins, Sunflower X combines sleep-state detection to determine whether the user has entered a more suitable time for waking. The light starts from an extremely low brightness level to avoid sudden stimulation.

Progressive Wake-Up Stage

When the system determines that the wake-up process should begin, Sunflower X gradually adjusts brightness, color temperature, and change speed based on the user's past responses, helping the user move smoothly from sleep into light wakefulness.

Wakefulness Reinforcement Stage

Around the target wake-up time, Sunflower X can make the light more noticeable to help reduce staying in bed and falling back asleep. At the same time, the microphone on the light will play white noise. Simulated sunrise lights combined with natural white noise bring the most natural awakening

More Integrated Functions

In addition, Sunflower X brings many functions together:

Automatic sleep-time shutoff: automatically turns off the light and pauses phone media after the user falls asleep;
Rotatable light ring: adapts to different reading angles;
Energy-saving mode: Automatically turn off when the person leaves and automatically light up when they come；
Voice interaction and AI-assisted support.
Personalized wake-up curve: continuously learns from sleep status and light sensitivity;
60GHz millimeter-wave radar: supports sleep monitoring;No camera invasion of privacy；Monitor 200000 times in one night
Contactless sensing: no wearable device required, reducing the burden of long-term use;

In the future MOONLEX ecosystem, the system can also connect with sound, fragrance, temperature, humidity, and other bedroom devices to form a complete morning environment activation routine.

"Technology serves people. We respect the body's natural rhythms and hope to bring people the most natural experience possible."

"Comfortable light while you read, a quiet exit after you fall asleep, and light that gradually takes over from the alarm before you wake up."

"We believe a truly good wake-up experience is not about an alarm clock forcing people awake. It is about the bedroom environment bringing people into wakefulness at the right time, in the right way."

"The core of Sunflower X is not to make a brighter lamp, but to help light understand each person's different wake-up rhythm. After all, morning is the key starting point of every day."

Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) Announces ETH Holdings Reach Unprecedented World Record of 5.078 Million Tokens, and Total Crypto and Total Cash Holdings of $13.3 Billion

Bitmine owns more than 4.21% of the total ETH coin supply of 120.7 million

Bitmine is 84% of the way to the 'Alchemy of 5%' in just 10 months

Ethereum continues to benefit from the dual tailwinds of Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and from agentic AI systems increasingly needing public and neutral blockchains

Bitmine uplisted to the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") from the NYSE American effective as of April 9, 2026

Bitmine has 3,701,589 staked ETH, representing $8.8 billion at $2,369 per ETH

MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network) is a premier Ethereum staking destination for BMNR and institutional investors, with a focus on security, performance, and resilience

Bitmine owns $91 million of Eightco (NASDAQ: ORBS), now one of the only publicly listed equities in the world to give investors direct exposure to OpenAI

Bitmine Crypto + Total Cash Holdings + "Moonshots" total $13.3 billion, including 5.078 million ETH tokens, total cash of $940 million, and other crypto holdings

Bitmine leads crypto treasury peers by both the velocity of raising crypto NAV per share and by the high trading liquidity of BMNR stock

Bitmine is the 129th most traded stock in the US, trading $845 million per day (5-day avg)

Bitmine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK's Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas "Tom" Lee to support Bitmine's goal of acquiring 5% of ETH

NORWALK, Conn., April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. ("Bitmine" or the "Company") a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced Bitmine crypto + total cash + "moonshots" holdings totaling $13.3 billion.

The Company recently announced its uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") from the NYSE American on April 9, 2026. The Company's common stock continues to trade under the symbol "BMNR".

As of April 26, 2026 at 4:00pm ET, the Company's crypto holdings are comprised of 5,078,386 ETH at $2,369 per ETH (Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 200 Bitcoin (BTC), $200 million stake in Beast Industries, $91 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) ("moonshots") and total cash of $940 million. Bitmine's ETH holdings are 4.21% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

"Bitmine ETH holdings crossed 5 million this past week," stated Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chairman of Bitmine. "This is a major milestone as the Company moves towards acquiring 5% of the ETH supply. And this pace of accumulation is astonishing, taking only 10 months to reach 5 million."

"Several recent research reports, including the latest research by Etherealize, argue ETH is a 'store of value' and will be held as collateral as digital assets are increasingly used in financial transactions. This new role for ETH has arguably been demonstrated by its outperformance since the Iran War commenced. ETH has outperformed the S&P 500 by 1,696 basis points since the war started and remains the single best performing asset in the world (beside crude oil prices)," stated Lee.

"Moreover, Ethereum continues to benefit from the dual tailwinds of Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and from agentic AI systems increasingly needing public and neutral blockchains. In our view, there is a lot of meaning to ETH being the best 'war-time store of value' and to ETH being the asset leading since the war started," said Lee.

"Bitmine has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case ETH is in the final stages of the 'mini-crypto winter.' In the past week, we acquired 101,901 ETH, which is the highest pace of buys since the week of December 15, 2025," stated Lee.

Bitmine recently launched MAVAN (the Made in American VAlidator Network), the institutional grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine's own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN intends to expand to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure. A portion of Bitmine's ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform.

As of April 26, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 3,701,589 ($8.8 billion at $2,369 per ETH). "Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine's ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $363 million annually (using 3.033% 7-day BMNR yield)," stated Lee.

"Annualized staking revenues are now $264 million. And this 3.7 million ETH is about 73% of the 5.08 million ETH held by Bitmine. The CESR (Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, administered by Quatrefoil) is 3.028%, while Bitmine's own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 3.033% (annualized)," continued Lee.

Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which reportedly owns 780,897 BTC valued at $58.2 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world.

Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $845 million (5-day average, as of April 24, 2026), ranking #129 in the US, behind Nike Inc (rank #128) and ahead of Comfort Systems USA (rank #130) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

The GENIUS Act and Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.
