3 E Network Technology Group Limited has announced a strategic partnership with HashBeaver that will extend access to the company's Finnish green AI compute center beyond traditional enterprise clients, bringing its high-density GPU infrastructure into the global Web3 and decentralized physical infrastructure network ecosystem.

The Nasdaq-listed company, trading under the ticker MASK, made the announcement on September 24, 2026, designating HashBeaver as a cloud retail and distribution platform for the Finnish facility.

HashBeaver as Compute Gateway

Under the terms of the partnership, HashBeaver will function as a compute gateway for 3 E Network's Finnish AI compute center. The platform uses cloud application programming interfaces to transform the high-density GPU bare-metal clusters housed at the Finnish facility into what the companies describe as an elastic compute pool.

The arrangement is designed to strip away the complex underlying environment configurations that typically accompany traditional compute leasing arrangements.

The gateway also supports Web3 payment protocols, enabling global AI developers, decentralized communities, and startup teams to access the Finnish facility's resources using supported digital assets, including certain stablecoins and utility tokens. On-chain smart contracts underpin the system, allowing users to authenticate compute usage and settle payments on demand.

The companies characterize this token settlement mechanism as a bridge connecting traditional physical compute infrastructure with the global decentralized developer ecosystem.

Reducing Cross-Border Payment Friction

One of the two primary commercial rationales cited for the integration is the reduction of cross-border payment friction. Traditional fiat payment systems can create settlement complications for international developers seeking access to compute resources across national boundaries.

By routing payments through blockchain networks, the token settlement system is intended to give developers around the world greater flexibility in accessing Finnish compute capacity and potentially lower transaction costs compared to conventional international payment channels.

The second area of focus concerns asset liquidity and market reach. By combining on-chain smart contracts with the micro-payment attributes of tokens, the companies intend to structure large-scale GPU clusters as compute-backed real-world assets, referred to in the announcement as compute RWA.

This structure supports millisecond-level metering and flexible resource allocation, allowing small-to-medium AI laboratories to procure compute capacity precisely calibrated to specific task durations rather than committing to longer-term bulk arrangements.

The companies say this model shifts a portion of capital expenditure into operational expenditure, which they argue supports broader coverage of long-tail market demand and aims to optimize server utilization rates to benefit the return on investment of the underlying hardware.

Physical Infrastructure Remains the Foundation

Despite the integration with decentralized networks and token payment mechanisms, 3 E Network has emphasized that the physical infrastructure underpinning the channel remains its Finnish AI compute center.

Whether a client accesses the facility through conventional fiat channels as an enterprise customer or through the HashBeaver gateway as a Web3 retail user, the compute power delivered is described as green, low-carbon, and high-density.

The company notes that as industry standards around the carbon footprint of compute operations become increasingly stringent, ESG-compliant green compute is expected to sustain consistent market demand.

A Structured Compliance Framework Through B2B2C

The structure of the partnership has been designed with compliance in mind. 3 E Network describes the arrangement as a business-to-business-to-consumer, or B2B2C, model that establishes a clear delineation of operational responsibilities between the two parties.

Under this framework, 3 E Network maintains its position as an infrastructure provider, collecting fiat currency or compliant stablecoin leasing revenue directly from HashBeaver rather than engaging with retail token transactions directly.

HashBeaver, for its part, independently manages and assumes responsibility for the retail-facing token payment integration, decentralized network distribution, and any risks associated with potential token price volatility.

The structure is explicitly designed so that the exposure to the more complex and variable elements of Web3 retail operations sits with HashBeaver rather than with 3 E Network as the underlying infrastructure operator.

Executive Commentary

Dr. Tingjun Yang, Chief Executive Officer of 3 E Network, addressed the strategic logic behind the partnership in a statement accompanying the announcement.

"In addition to developing green computing infrastructure, establishing flexible and globally accessible settlement channels is a vital component in enhancing the commercial value of our project," Yang said. "Our collaboration with HashBeaver is a key strategic initiative. The supported token payment methods can make our compute resources more accessible to the decentralized developer ecosystem."

Yang further stated that combining green real-world assets with Web3 payment networks supports diversification of the company's monetization pathways, broadens its potential customer base, and strengthens its competitive position in the next-generation AI infrastructure sector.

Company Backgrounds

3 E Network Technology Group Limited describes itself as a business-to-business IT solutions provider working toward becoming a next-generation AI infrastructure solutions provider.

The company operates under what it calls an "AI and energy symbiosis" philosophy and holds interests in energy investment. Its business is organized into two main portfolios: data center operation services and software development.

HashBeaver is described as a cloud platform that connects physical AI computing infrastructure with global users by virtualizing large-scale physical clusters into elastic cloud resources accessible to a broad range of clients.
