Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak’s new cryptocurrency token is less than a week old, but its price is certainly headed in a promising direction.

The token, Efforce, which goes by the WOZX symbol, hit a high of $2.77 on exchange HBTC, where it exclusively launched on December 3. Yesterday, it lounged as low as $1.32. Its current price is $2.47.

Efforce is a blockchain-based project co-founded by “Woz” that allows people to invest in “energy efficiency projects by acquiring tokenized future savings,” according to its website.

It costs money to make buildings or processes more energy efficient. By purchasing tokens, WOZX buyers are essentially indirectly investing in such projects. Contributors are rewarded in the form of energy savings in the form of a token, which they can do with as they please.

The token is only available on Singapore-based HBTC—and even then paired with just the Tether stablecoin—so it's not available to US investors yet. The token is set to hit Bithumb Global this month.

Efforce boasted on Friday that WOZX had a $950 million market cap within minutes of its HBTC listing. CryptoGecko puts the market cap at closer to $45 million. The total number of WOZX is limited to 1 billion, and Efforce says no more will ever be minted.

Wozniak helped develop the Macintosh personal computer before leaving Apple in 1985.

AI Won’t Tell You How to Build a Bomb—Unless You Say It’s a 'b0mB'

Remember when we thought AI security was all about sophisticated cyber-defenses and complex neural architectures? Well, Anthropic's latest research shows how today’s advanced AI hacking techniques can be executed by a child in kindergarten. Anthropic—which likes to rattle AI doorknobs to find vulnerabilities to later be able to counter them—found a hole it calls a “Best-of-N (BoN)” jailbreak. It works by creating variations of forbidden queries that technically mean the same thing, but are expre...

Elon Musk and Dogecoin: How the Billionaire Became the 'Dogefather'

As Dogecoin makes a comeback off the back of Bitcoin’s surge, some may be pondering: Where did the asset come from? What’s it for? And what’s Tesla CEO Elon Musk got to do with it? The original meme coin’s boom largely has the world’s richest man to thank. Musk’s obsession with shitposting helped boost the coin to a top 10 cryptocurrency. It’s been a wacky ride over the past few years, culminating in Musk's appointment to co-lead a government agency called D.O.G.E.—yes, really. But we'll explai...
