3 E Network and HashBeaver Open Finland Green GPU Facility to Web3 Developers

3 E Network Technology Group Limited is extending the commercial reach of its Finnish AI compute center into the decentralized developer market through a new distribution agreement with HashBeaver, a cloud platform that virtualizes physical computing clusters into elastic cloud resources.

The Nasdaq-listed company, which trades under the ticker MASK, confirmed the partnership on September 24, 2026, naming HashBeaver as a cloud retail and distribution platform for the Finnish facility.

The Compliance Architecture Behind the Deal

Central to the structure of the agreement is a business-to-business-to-consumer model that the companies say cleanly separates operational responsibilities. Under this arrangement, 3 E Network retains its role as an infrastructure provider, receiving fiat currency or compliant stablecoin leasing revenue directly from HashBeaver. The Nasdaq-listed company does not engage with retail token transactions directly.

HashBeaver independently manages the retail-facing layer of the operation, including token payment integration, decentralized network distribution, and any risks associated with potential token price volatility.

The design is explicit: 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.

How HashBeaver Transforms Bare-Metal Clusters into Elastic Compute

HashBeaver operates as a compute gateway for the Finnish facility, using cloud application programming interfaces to convert the high-density GPU bare-metal clusters housed there into what the two companies describe as an elastic compute pool.

This transformation is intended to remove the complex underlying environment configurations that typically accompany traditional compute leasing arrangements.

The platform supports Web3 payment protocols, giving global AI developers, decentralized communities, and startup teams the ability to access the Finnish facility's resources using supported digital assets, including certain stablecoins and utility tokens.

On-chain smart contracts underpin the system, enabling users to authenticate compute usage and settle payments on demand.

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

Cross-Border Payments and Real-World Asset Structuring

Two commercial rationales anchor the partnership. The first is the reduction of cross-border payment friction. Conventional fiat payment systems can generate settlement complications for international developers seeking compute resources across national boundaries.

Routing payments through blockchain networks is intended to provide developers around the world with greater flexibility in accessing Finnish compute capacity and potentially lower transaction costs compared to standard international payment channels.

The second rationale concerns asset liquidity and market reach. By pairing 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 calibrated precisely to specific task durations rather than committing to longer-term bulk arrangements.

The companies say the 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.

Green Infrastructure at the Core

Regardless of whether a client reaches the facility through conventional enterprise channels or through the HashBeaver gateway as a Web3 retail user, the compute power delivered is described by 3 E Network as green, low-carbon, and high-density.

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

The physical Finnish AI compute center is presented as the fixed foundation beneath both the traditional and decentralized distribution channels.

What the Chief Executive Said

Dr. Tingjun Yang, Chief Executive Officer of 3 E Network, framed the partnership in terms of both accessibility and commercial strategy.

"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 in a statement accompanying the announcement.

"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 added 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.

About the Two Companies

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.
