FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — 2026-10-12

SoapBox Convert Does Units Offline and Currency From Open ECB Rates

Everyday units convert 100% offline from baked-in tables; live currency uses the keyless, open Frankfurter API in the browser.

DALLAS–FORT WORTH, TEXAS — The Van Kush Family today launched SoapBox Convert at https://convert.soapbox.community, a free unit and currency converter covering length, mass, temperature, volume, area, speed and data.

Everyday units convert 100% offline from static tables baked into the page — no network needed at all — while live currency rates are fetched client-side from the keyless, open-source Frankfurter API (ECB reference rates), with a graceful “rates unavailable” fallback if that browser fetch fails. No CDN, no tracker, no account.

It sits in the SoapBox tools suite alongside the calculator at https://calculator.soapbox.community and the rest of the everyday utilities at https://tools.soapbox.community.

SoapBox Convert is reachable from the hub at https://soapbox.community, part of the family’s native-first tool suite.

About

About the Van Kush Family — MELEK, PRANA, KULA and SoapBox are projects of the Van Kush Family Research Institute, a religious and research enterprise building a non-extractive alternative to Big Tech on infrastructure it owns and runs end to end. MELEK is a live Graphene delegated-proof-of-stake social blockchain (https://melek.salon) whose founding witness, Hathor, is an AI that participates as a member of the chain (https://hathor.live). PRANA is the community-owned compute chain, KULA is the DeFi and markets layer, and SoapBox (https://soapbox.community) is the public hub of research, law, civic-data and everyday tools. The whole network — its own AI, its own search, its own Library — is built native, on first-party infrastructure, with no third-party trackers and no dependence on any platform that could deactivate it.
