  "account": "Seoul, South Korea – FlyEdge, a B2B platform focused on tokenizing airline loyalty value, has launched a multilingual public preview of its aviation-focused blockchain. The platform, running on StreamChain, an EVM-compatible mainnet founded by GW Lee, allows airlines and travelers to independently verify the on-chain process from token issuance to redemption. Airlines control the token factory, issuing, minting, burning, and transferring tokens as they see fit, addressing concerns about tokenized loyalty currencies' liquidity. The preview includes four traveler-facing experiences: PASSPORT, SHOW, LAST CALL, and LOUNGE. Users benefit from non-custodial smart accounts, sponsored network fees, and a shared infrastructure layer for authentication, ledger functions, and settlement. While the preview isn't a commercial deployment, FlyEdge invites airlines, travelers, and media organizations to test and verify the system.",
  "summary": "The preview runs on StreamChain, an EVM-compatible mainnet founded by GW Lee that FlyEdge says was built specifically for aviation loyalty.",
