Manila, Philippines – There’s a long-standing debate about proper gadget battery care – from whether it’s safe to leave your phone charging overnight to the “ideal” percentage to unplug for battery health. In reality, many of these concerns are more myth than fact.
Most of today’s smartphones use advanced lithium-ion batteries with built-in power management that regulates charging speed, prevents overcharging, and reduces battery stress when temperatures get too high. Your device does some of the work to protect itself, but that doesn’t mean all charging experiences are the same.
Chargers differ in how they deliver power, manage heat, support fast-charging standards, and match your phone’s needs – differences that can affect your battery health. That’s why Anker, a global leader in charging technology, is introducing the new Anker 45W Nano Smart Display Charger, designed to instantly recognize your device and smartly adjust power output for fast, optimized, and, most importantly, safe charging to help maintain your device’s battery health over time.
Charging with peace of mind
Constant app usage, internet browsing, and vivid high-resolution screens are among the main culprits of a fast-draining battery. While many want their gadgets charged back up to 100 quickly, a mismatch of charger and smart-charging capacity could cause device damage. These concerns are all addressed with the Anker 45W Nano Smart Display Charger.
It is the first of its kind wall charger, featuring an intelligent screen display showing real-time charging insights. It’s equipped with a 3-stage charging system – Fast Charge, Smart Protection, and Battery Care, all with Active Cooling for enhanced safety. As you charge, you can see it actively updating you on the power being used based on the current temperature of your device. It’s equipped with a TÜV-Certified, 36°F Cooler, a feature that puts a safety limit for charging temperature, so if you’ve ever noticed your phone heating up while plugged into a fast charger, you can let go of that worry.
The Anker 45W Nano Smart Display Charger can also easily recognize the newest iPhone and iPad models, while also supporting non-Apple Type-C devices. It charges at up to 45W super-fast charging as well. If you want to carry your charger around, or if you need to look for another spot to charge, the charger is portable, with double-foldable prongs for flexible positioning and stability.
Easy, safe charging for multiple devices
If you’re juggling work from the office or home, you’re probably familiar with the hassle of having to charge multiple devices throughout your day. That’s what Anker also addresses with its new Anker Smart Display Charger (100W, 3 Ports) and Anker Smart Display Charging Station (100w, 7-in-1) options.
You can easily charge simultaneously with the Anker Smart Display Charger (100W, 3 Ports) without any worries of overheating or risking battery care. It also uses the same technology to deliver high-speed charging and makes use of smart technology to adapt its charging curve based on your device’s speed, temperature control, and battery care. You can also easily keep track of charging by taking a look at the intelligent screen display.
For those who manage even more devices and need efficient charging tools throughout their workday, Anker also has the Anker Smart Display Charging Station (100W, 7-in-1). It offers multiple USB-C and USB-A ports, delivering up to 100W total USB-C output for high-speed charging of your phones, laptops, tablets, and various accessories.
Get the Anker 45W Nano Smart Display Charger and the Anker Smart Display Charging Station (100W, 3 Ports) or the Anker Smart Display Charging Station (100W, 7-in-1) to upgrade your charging experience! All devices are available through anker.ph, or on the official Lazada and Shopee Mall stores, TikTok Shop, and all retail stores nationwide.

Manila, Philippines — Bitget Wallet, a leading non-custodial crypto wallet with over 80 million users, has officially doubled its tokenized stock offerings, allowing Filipinos and users anywhere in the world access to more than 200 US stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The expanded offerings are made possible through Ondo Finance’s Global Markets infrastructure. This blockchain-based platform brings traditionally traded US stocks and ETFs on-chain, allowing users outside the United States to gain exposure to these assets.Through this integration, Filipino users can manage a hybrid portfolio of cryptocurrencies and US equities directly within the Bitget Wallet application. This eliminates the need for traditional brokerage accounts or navigating complex international banking intermediaries, effectively democratizing access to global wealth-building tools.
"As markets change, access should change with them. By expanding the range of stocks available in our app, we’re giving users more ways to participate in global markets, without the usual barriers of location, banking access, or trading hours", said Jamie Elkaleh, Chief Marketing Officer of Bitget Wallet.
Previously, Bitget Wallet focused on offering popular technology stocks from Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, Amazon, and Nvidia. With this update, users worldwide can now access nearly 100 additional US companies, including AT&T, Citigroup, and T-Mobile. These new options cover industries such as telecommunications, banking, and energy.
This global expansion marks a significant milestone in Bitget Wallet’s mission to merge decentralized finance (DeFi) with traditional markets. By broadening its asset catalog, the platform provides a seamless bridge for investors to diversify their digital portfolios with real-world equities.
As the Philippine tokenized market continues its upward trajectory toward 2030, Bitget Wallet’s latest update provides Filipino investors with more robust alternative options to grow their wealth in an increasingly digital-first economy.

REYKJAVÍK, Iceland – CCP Games today announced the EVE Frontier × Sui Hackathon 2026, an online hackathon running 11-31 March 2026, with a $80,000 USD prize pool. The hackathon invites builders to create mods running on Smart Assemblies – configurable in-game structures such as turrets, stargates, and storage units – or outside the game through external applications connected to the same live universe.
EVE Frontier demonstrates the unique power of Sui - supporting galactic-scale battles, true ownership, and persistent worlds through large-scale moddable infrastructure. Designed as a moddable survival universe, players can meaningfully shape their experience as they rebuild civilization from its ashes. Players can change how the world behaves through mods that stay active over time, can be expanded by others, and continue to affect the shared universe across the entire galaxy.
Announcement Trailer: https://youtu.be/4nlMjQif2hE
Mods can live inside the EVE Frontier game world by running within Smart Assemblies: player-built, in-game structures such as storage units, gates, and defensive systems. These structures, powered by Sui’s blockchain-enforced modding and co-creation, act as the physical hosts for player creativity, allowing for new logic and behavior to be installed within them, while being able to be interacted with, defended, or destroyed by other players. Mods can also live outside the game, as external applications that connect to EVE Frontier through an official API. These external tools, such as maps, dashboards, coordination platforms, and analytics services, do not exist as objects in space, but can also read and react to live game data in real time.
With the theme ‘A Toolkit for Civilization,’ the 2026 Hackathon asks players to create mods from the supportive to the bizarre. Entries can be deployed into the live server, where players can use them as part of the judging process, and with the community vote playing a key role in deciding the winners.“EVE Frontier is built on the idea that a virtual world shouldn’t be static,” said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP Games. “This is the next step in game modding: where builders aren’t just modding a client or a tool, but modding the server itself in real time, through systems that are designed to be extended. The Hackathon is an invitation to explore what happens when modding becomes part of a live universe.”
“EVE Frontier is designed to be built by players, not just played by them,” said Adeniyi Abiodun, Chief Product Officer at Mysten Labs, the original contributors to Sui. “Our goal is to provide the infrastructure to build 'forever games,' moddable worlds that can keep evolving. While EVE and Sui provide the foundation, it's the builders who drive innovation. I speak for both CCP and Mysten Labs when I say we can't wait to see what participants in this hackathon will create.”
The hackathon is open globally to individuals and teams of up to five participants. Full details on registration, timelines, submission requirements, and modding resources are available at: http://deepsurge.xyz/evefrontier2026
