While HackerNoon has reviewed the story for quality, the claims hereon belong to the author. #DYOR I had an interesting conversation with Viet Anh Tran, the CEO & Founder of Islander. The concept of learn-to-earn in the decentralized world is starting to develop in the blockchain ecosystem. Islander is one of the first projects to follow this path and realize the massive potential that blockchain unlocks for decentralized affiliate marketing and exploring the prospects of the sector. The project is on its way to paving the way for a whole new marketing world and accelerating mass crypto adoption. This exclusive conversation will give you a gist of Islander that you definitely shouldn’t miss out on. Enjoy the interview! Islander is an online learn-to-earn and decentralized platform to manage and market your own projects in a unique way. Project owners (crypto project managers, influencers, content creators) can quickly engage their audience’s attention and nurture them in the long term by giving out interesting and interactive quests as well as tradable NFT items, which are either pre-made by the platform or customized by its users. Shilika: Reminiscing about your blockchain journey, how did working on something exciting as Islander? Viet: Having spent almost half a decade as a community builder, I was first inspired by Blockchain technology a few years ago. I was then already working very hard to build our Spiderum to be the Medium of Vietnam as it is today. Moving forward, I jumped into the Crypto World and have been a retail investor and entrepreneur in this world since then. As I mentioned briefly earlier, while working on Spiderum, I could really understand the pain point of a community builder. Though Spiderum is one of the biggest online publishing platforms in Vietnam, when launching a product, I still find it quite hard to leverage the full potential of community engagement to achieve our goals. It was important for us (Myself and My Co-Founder Nga Levi) to reassess our subsequent steps to solve this puzzle. It was during this time, I started actively participating in the Blockchain space and saw the huge potentiality of this technology that would help us overcome the challenges Spiderum was facing. As the dots connected, I envisioned an Island-Verse where every player, from crypto projects, and influencers to individuals, can connect, exchange values, and gain benefits in a gamified economy would be an amazing future. Users can reclaim land, own and trade NFTs, build communities, and earn crypto rewards by playing and contributing to the development of the Island-Verse. Shilika: Despite there being abundant projects in the crypto space at the moment, what are some of the key aspects that stand out in Islander? Viet: I believe Islander offers a solution to old-fashioned marketing techniques. Traditionally, crypto projects attract their supporters through digital marketing activities such as SEO, SEM, and advertising. This whole process of getting users on board, getting them to understand the project, waiting for their feedback, and letting them take the first action is often long and cumbersome. Islander found a way to make it easier for all parties involved with the use of gamification. In Islander’s words, the crypto world can be seen as thousands and thousands of separated islands, with each island representing a standalone crypto project and the project owners taking on the role of “Island Lords”. Whether a crypto project is successful or not depends on how many supporters it can get and how frequently its product and token are used. In Islander, we call these crypto adopters “Residents”. Sometimes the residents will find their own way to get to the island, sometimes they will need a boat. And the Boat owner here represents an influencer in the real world. With Islander’s toolkit,  crypto projects, influencers, and content creators will be able to communicate their marketing efforts in a fun and interactive way. Monetization will be robust and immediate. Users will benefit greatly just by participating in different activities aka “quests”. In short, we utilize the innovative learn-to-earn & NFT-powered affiliate model to empower a new economy and build an Island-verse for web 3.0 content & marketing. Shilika: With different metaverses incepting in this booming space, what is the biggest difference between the Play-to-Earn model used by many other platforms and the Learn-to-Earn model developed by Islander? Viet: The biggest difference between Play-to-Earn and Learn-to-Earn is, that the former focuses on entertainment and some financial benefits as by-products, while the latter emphasizes knowledge transfer with financial benefits. However, Islander’s approach to knowledge transfer is not through textbooks and exams but gamification. For example, on Islander, Crypto Projects can create quests (a prominent element we take from video games) with unique narrations and rewards to engage with their supporters. We also have ranking and leaderboards to promote the most active projects, influencers and content creators on our platform. Shilika: What can the users expect from Islander in the near future? Viet: We will focus on solving the gas fees problem, launching NFTs and their use cases on Islander. After that, multichain will be definitely what you can expect from Islander. In terms of measurement, we choose Total Distributed Value as one of our most important indicators. With that in mind, more potential projects with high-budget deals will be our approach to both support projects and investors/communities. I highly recommend our supporters to follow the ICE (Initial Community Education) program which Islander collabs with Avalaunch to promote every Avalaunch IDO on Islander; and the Islander Headstart Program which helps projects promote themselves even when they have not generated their token yet. Conclusion We are grateful for the little plugins of your valuable experiences and expertise that you have shared with us during this interview. We can’t wait to delve into the realms of Islander, quite literally.

Dexalot receives $7 million to build trading infrastructure Dexalot has received $7 million in funding to build the Avalanche network. The funding round was led by Avalanche’s Blizzard Fund with involvement from various Avalanche ecosystem actors and decentralized finance investors. The protocol aims to create a decentralized order book exchange based on Avalanche that allows users to trade any asset with cheap costs, no slippage, and quick price discovery. Avalanche ecosystem contributors comprised of Colony, AVentures, Avalaunch, Avascan, Benqi, and Blizzard. Further, Maven Capital, GSR, Muhabbit Capital, Republic Capital, Woodstock Capital, and IPC are among the new investors. CEO of Dexalot, Nihat Gurman, said: Dexalot wants to create a truly transparent, community-owned crypto exchange where users can trade assets at the capital efficiency of central exchanges with the same or better user experience. The protocol is an EVM-compatible Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) exchange that runs on the Avalanche C-Chain. It tries to fill in the gaps in Avalanche DEXs, which are currently exclusively AMM-based. Which of the two Decentralized Exchange is Better: Order Book or AMM? As the name implies, an order book records all buy/sell orders for a specific cryptocurrency. A bid is a name for a buy order, whereas an ask is a name for a sell order. The order book keeps track of how many tokens are being solicited or bid at a given price point. The order book organizes the traders’ orders under the price associated with them when they place them. Thus, any DEX dealer may trade the asset as long as supply and demand exist. Depending on the order book, a CEX has generated automatically when a Binance clone script is used to create an exchange. The order book is replaced by a liquidity pool in an AMM or Automated Market Maker-based DEX. The liquidity pool is essentially pre-funded by participants known as liquidity providers or LPs. Each AMM-based DEX has a different manner of rewarding LPs. The LPs essentially take on the role of market makers. Uniswap pioneered the idea of AMM, in which the current liquidity of the trading pair is properly considered using an algorithm. This makes it possible to supply traders with a real-time quote. Automated Market Maker-based decentralized exchanges address one of the industry’s most pressing challenges. Similarly, order book-based DEXs are putting in a lot of effort to increase liquidity.

Dexalot Raises $7 million in funding to build the trading infrastructure on Avalanche 

A Game-Changer for On-chain Borrowers The launch of Credit Vaults aims to address the growing demand for stable and accessible credit among new on-chain entities, like fintech and payment companies. These borrowers are given the ability to design their own terms, which includes the ability to choose their own interest rates and payback schedules, which is one of the distinguishing characteristics of Credit Vaults. In addition, this model guarantees greater annual percentage yields (APYs) for lenders due to its full utilisation, which makes it a profitable choice for all parties involved in the relationship. Morgan Krupetsky of Ava Labs shared, “Avalanche is the ideal platform to support the launch of Clearpool’s Credit Vaults. The collaboration with Clearpool showcases a mutual commitment to developing innovative digital financial products and a shared focus on bringing tokenized assets and greater utility into the Avalanche ecosystem.” Transforming Fintech Lending: Introducing Short-term, Liquid Options Banxa teamed up with Clearpool to create the first Credit Vault. This will let Banxa borrow up to 5 million USDT. This agreement is very important because it lets lenders use a unique seven-day payback choice and get extra AVAX token benefits. The easy availability and flow of money is one of the main issues in the field of autonomous finance. This tool solves the issue and sets a new standard for adaptability and effectiveness. Leading the Charge Banxa, a key player in the crypto infrastructure space, has embraced the flexibility and opportunities provided by Clearpool's Credit Vaults. "Clearpool's Credit Vaults offer us the flexibility to meet our liquidity requirements," said Holger Arians, CEO of Banxa, highlighting the importance of customizable terms and the potential to attract a broader lender base. Cauris, specializing in private credit for fintech companies, plays a crucial role in managing the Credit Vault, emphasizing security and integrity in the system's design. Credit Vaults, which were added by Clearpool to Avalanche, are a major step forward in on-chain banking. Clearpool is not only meeting the needs of the market right now by making credit options more open, easy to get to, and effective, but they are also actively shaping the future of DeFi loans. This new way of doing things is likely to bring even more institutional and fintech players to the platform, making Clearpool even more of a star in the decentralised finance credit market. The announcement that Clearpool has recently made on its most recent initiative, which is the expansion into the Avalanche platform, as well as the release of a cutting-edge product known as Credit Vaults, is a big step forward for the company. Through this strategic choice, Clearpool is able to expand its horizons inside the DeFi market, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the company. Clearpool at the Forefront The launch of the Credit Vaults is a significant milestone, establishing Clearpool as a leader in the rapidly evolving DeFi space. The platform's ability to attract over 20 institutions for borrowing, including giants like Jane Street, underscores the growing interest and confidence in Clearpool’s offerings. Jakob Kronbichler, CEO & Co-founder of Clearpool, stated, “Launching Credit Vaults on Avalanche marks a major milestone for Clearpool and the RWA sector as we pioneer migrating credit on-chain.” Don’t forget to like and share the story!

The groundbreaking work of the Memecoin Rush project is not only bringing life back to the Avalanche community, but it is also changing how money moves around in its environment. The Avalanche Foundation is setting a new standard for how cryptocurrencies should be seen and used. This will ensure the community's longevity and put traditional financial systems to the test. This new project is improving the speed and safety of cash deals, which will make the future of digital currencies easier. There is a new era of liquidity mining.  A prize system worth a million dollars is put into the Memecoin Rush project so that people can mine for money. Because the project was started with well-known businesses like SteakHut and Trader Joe's, it has made it possible to change the way we deal with cash. Because of these relationships, users can now earn Memecoins just by shopping at these businesses. This makes it easier for people to use digital currencies in their everyday lives. This one-of-a-kind prize system not only helps the community by making deals faster and safer, but it also pushes standard financial systems by giving people a new way to earn and use digital assets. In the world of cryptocurrencies, the Memecoin Rush project is really setting a new standard. This will make the future easier to live in and last longer. Many people know about the well-known Avalanche Rush project from 2021, which helped speed up the growth of the Avalanche DeFi space. That idea comes naturally from the work that is being done. Avalanche Rush keeps doing very well because the Foundation is working to make the world easier to get to, more effective, and easier to use. This shows how well the Foundation's work has been done. This dedication makes it possible for Memecoin Rush to have the effect that was hoped for before. Introducing Phase One: The $1 Million Prize The recent purchase of many community currencies by the Avalanche Foundation shows how important these digital assets are becoming. Community coins are a great example of how different cryptocurrencies can be; they're not just money. They show the rich societies that can be found in the Web3 world. By showcasing the distinctive DeFi techniques that only Avalanche uses and encouraging more people to join these expanding groups, Memecoin Rush wants to demonstrate how diverse it is. Memecoin Rush isn't just a way to get prizes. If you want to help the Avalanche group grow and improve, this is your chance. More people are using blockchain, and it's easier to build communities thanks to sites like Trader Joe's and SteakHut that let users handle liquidity and stake on only one side. The rise of these decentralised financial protocols on Avalanche gives people who want to be a part of the Web3 space a lot of options. In order to connect traditional finance with the new world of DeFi, Memecoin Rush offers an easy-to-use tool for people to interact with these cutting-edge technologies. As more people join the Avalanche community through sites like Trader Joe's and SteakHut, the ecosystem's ability to work together and grow only gets bigger. The Partnerships for Success Trader Joe's and SteakHut were the first businesses to do this. They offer special perks to customers who trade and provide liquidity in certain community currencies. SteakHut also gives you options for selling cryptocurrencies. Uniswap V3 liquidity mining is one way that SteakHut gets people to connect with the ecosystem. It pays out in a number of different community currencies. Trader Joe's one-sided staking vaults credit users based on how involved they are and the state of the market for the same reason. This makes the environment both good and competitive. Both businesses have built a mutually beneficial relationship with their customers by giving them reasons to be a part of their communities. By giving people special discounts and perks, Trader Joe's and SteakHut have made their customers more loyal and interested in their brands. This creative way of rewarding customers not only makes these businesses stand out from their rivals, but it also shows that they want to build strong relationships with their community that are good for everyone. Building the Momentum of Community Coins The Avalanche Foundation just bought a bunch of community currencies, which shows how important these digital assets are. Community currencies are different from other bitcoin-based currencies because they are not just ways to pay. For that reason, they show how the societies in Web3 are always changing. Memecoin Rush wants to show how varied this is by showing the many DeFi protocols that are already available in Avalanche and encouraging more people to join these communities, which are growing very quickly. Memecoin Rush has more to offer than just a way to earn prizes. You are being given the chance to help the Avalanche community grow and improve. Platforms like SteakHut and Trader Joe's are increasing blockchain activity and making it easier for people to join communities. To do this, users are given power over share and value on only one side of the blockchain. This new way of doing things lets users get the most out of the DeFi space without having to deal with complicated processes or use multiple platforms. The Avalanche community is ready for a lot of growth and progress, thanks to SteakHut and Trader Joe's. People who join these platforms can not only get benefits, but they can also help shape the future of decentralised banking on Avalanche in very important ways. About Avalanche: The Cutting Edge of Web3 Development The market winner in smart contract systems is Avalanche. This is because deals are final and a lot of people can use it at the same time. As well as the HyperSDK toolbox, its consensus system and Subnet infrastructure give developers the tools they need to make powerful, unique blockchain solutions. Because it cares about the world, Avalanche is the best base for Web3 writers who want to make a name for themselves. The Memecoin Rush project seems to be the start of a new era of funding, community interaction, and new ideas in the Avalanche setting. This project not only makes Avalanche an even bigger star in the DeFi space, but it also gives crypto fans new ways to get involved and learn. Don’t forget to like and share the story!

Daily Coding Problem Hello everyone and welcome back with another problem to solve! Today we’ll be dealing with paths, calculating the greatest path in a triangle of numbers starting from the top to the bottom! Today’s problem comes from the archives of : a super cool website to look at if you are in the mood for some head scratching! There are more than 800 math and coding problems to solve and a vast archive of discussions about them. It is the perfect tool to train your math skills and learn something new. Go check it out and try to solve your challenges too! ProjectEuler.net Let’s jump to the action! The problem By starting at the top of the triangle below and moving to adjacent numbers on the row below, the maximum total from top to bottom is 23. That is,3+7+4+9=23. Find the maximum total from top to bottom of the triangle below: As there are only 16384 routes, it is possible to solve this problem by trying every route. However, , is the same challenge with a triangle containing one hundred rows; it cannot be solved by brute force, and requires a clever method! ;o) NOTE: Problem 67 So, to recap a bit: we are given a triangle with numbers. Each number is connected to the two directly below it, . What we need to do is go from top to bottom and find the maximum possible path value. The sum of its values will be our answer. Also, as the problem states, since the routes are limited, we could try the solution out from calculating every possible route. As we’ll see just in a moment, , so we should scrap our heads a bit and find a better solution. forming a path directly to solve it by brute-forcing that would not be an efficient solution Ready then? Let’s solve it! Brute forcing the solution Since the problem advises that the brute force solution is not an efficient one, let’s take a moment to understand why is by looking at some smaller triangles. To know which path is the most valuable one, we first need to . It would be nice to know how many of them there are in the first place. walk over all the possible paths So, let’s try to count them: When there is one row (just one element) we have only one possible path. With two rows there are two possible paths we can take, with three rows there are 4 paths, and so on. Hopefully, you can see what’s happening here: : so for instance, with 4 rows we have 2³ = 8. In the problem’s example, the triangles have 15 rows so we count 2¹⁴ possible paths, which are 16384 possible routes, just as the problem states. the number of paths grows like 2ⁿ⁻¹ Given this, to calculate the maximum path by brute force, we would need to calculate the value of all the 16384 routes and then compare them. Besides the hassle of calculating all those possible paths, for the next similar problem mentioned by the text, which has 100 lines, we are going to have 2⁹⁹ possible paths, meaning roughly a total of 63.382.530.010.000.000.000.000.000.000 possible routes: inconvenient to say the least. Finally, , which is one of the worst results we could hope for. brute forcing the solution would force us with an algorithm with a time complexity of O(2ⁿ) We need a better method. The better method As we saw, the main problem in brute-forcing the solution is that there are so too many steps that our algorithm should do to calculate them all. . Since the number of routes depends on the number of elements in the triangle, we have no control over that variable. way too many possible routes, A better solution should involve either fewer routes or fewer steps to calculate them So, s needed for the algorithm to complete. What if we could calculate the maximum path possible of every given triangle … with just one step? our only chance is to reduce the number of step Let’s take a triangle and reason about it. This is the triangle from the sample given by the problem, for which we already know that the maximum path is 23 (the one in red), or 3 + 7 +4 + 9. This is our first hint: This means that we could track the growing value of each path while we go down the triangle and choose the maximum at the end. We can do this by . we don’t need intermediate values, we just want the sum of them. updating intermediate numbers with their actual path value As you can see we can apply this process row by row, updating all the values until, in the last row, we obtain the exact solution: 23. This is why I called it the avalanche algorithm: ! it’s like a snowball rolling down the mountain, which takes the route with the most snow on it and collects it to grow and grow again We have a problem though: for certain values inside the triangle we obtain multiple values. Take the middle 4, for example, the one in the third line of the first graph. If we come to the 4 from the 10 we are going to get 14 as a result, but if we come from the 7 we are going to obtain 11. If we think about it though, 10 and 7 in the second row are already “path values” updated from the previous row, since we’ve done 3+7=10 and 3+4=7 to get them. This means that the path coming from the 10 has already a higher value than the one coming from the 7 and, since we jump on the 4 only from those two values and from 4 we can only go to 5 and 9, we can conclude that the 10 path has an higher value than the 7 one, at least up to that point, and then we will always choose the route coming from the 10. It’s much clearer if you look it like this: Since we are coming only from 10 and 5, no matter if we are going to 5 or 9, we will always choose the path that already has a value of 10 because it’s higher than the one with a value of 7. This is our second hint: We could also store it, as we’ll do if we want to take the inverse road and print out the final path. besides adding the “path value” row by row and number by number, for each number we can choose the highest previous path value and move on. Each element in the triangle will have two values then: its real value and an “updated value” to keep track of the path value up to that point. OK: we have everything we need to start coding then. Let’s jump to the code! The code As with every good coder out there, I learned during the years to innately hate . Given this though, I feel like that for this project a solid OOP language was needed, to wrap everything up in a clear form. Go, even if is by far my first choice on almost every project, was not that suitable for this kind of task: its lack of a proper class object would have been a pain to deal with. Python is similar, since it has classes but it becomes messy to work with them after a while, in my opinion at least. , which is sold as Java 2.0: much less boilerplate but the same code potential for its interoperability with Java code. If you never used it, you’ll love it in a moment. Java So for this problem, we are going for Kotlin Also, this solution requires building a : if you are not familiar with that kind of data structure go check some resources online if you feel this solution is not clear! tree Let’s write the code then. https://gist.github.com/NicolaM94/81f57ae53d2c79012926047528ea492b?embedable=true We’ll start writing a class, which will be the blueprint for each number inside the triangle. This class must be built with two parameters, , the actual value of the number, and , the list of previous Nodes from which you can jump to this value (always at most 2). Then, inside the class we are going to build two other attributes: , which will hold the updated value of the path up to that point, and , which will hold the biggest parent of that node. We initially set to be equal to . Node value parents updatedValue chosenParent updatedValue value After that, we call the block, which will be the first block executed when the class gets created. In that block, we loop over the two parents (the loop there it’s a bit useless since there always are two parents, but it’s useful to show the idea behind it) and we update the with the found. Finally, we update to be equal to the value of this node plus the updated value of its bigger parent. init chosenParent biggestParent updatedValue We can also write a simple function which recursively print out the chain of values that brought us here. PrintChain That’s it, really: you have everything you need to solve the problem! Of course, you need a wrapper to collect all the numbers and instantiate all of them as nodes. Here’s the one I wrote, but of course you should build one yourself for your implementation. https://gist.github.com/NicolaM94/756a0d5fa2477454f16c4c23537a9b22?embedable=true Lastly, in the main function, we can wrap everything up and loop over the last line to get our solution. As always, for the problems given by ProjectEuler.net, besides presenting math riddles and problems, . And I love that: they are so committed that publishing results and guides for their problems is forbidden (this is one of the first 100 problems, so I understand it is permitted). Given this, . You have everything you need to start working on it! I won’t give out the solution: you need to build this by yourself, if you want to know it! ProjectEuler.net is a lovely project: their main focus is to provide a tool to start learning, thinking, and reasoning about math and algorithms I don’t feel it would be fair to just give out the solution to copy-paste and get the achievement Have a nice coding guys! 😎 Time complexity It’s not that easy to model the time complexity for an algorithm like this one, but we can try to by comparing it with the brute-force solution. reason a bit more generally First off, in both cases, we need to parse the numbers in the triangle somehow, either to collect them as nodes or to store them in lists, arrays, or any other method you can think of. Let’s suppose we use the same parsing algorithm for both solutions, the brute force one and the smart one, and let’s suppose this parsing algorithm takes O(n) time, where n is the number of rows in the triangle. After parsing the elements, in solution, we must calculate the value of each one of the 2ⁿ⁻¹ possible routes. This, again, . the brute force leaves us with a time complexity of O(2ⁿ⁻¹) With the smart solution though we don’t need to do anything else besides parsing the elements correctly. . Since we are using the same parsing algorithm for both solutions, we can discard the time used for parsing while comparing. Thus, Given that we must pass on each element to parse it as a Node, we’ll do exactly n(n+1)/2 operations After this we only need to loop over the last row to find the maximum path, requiring O(n) time. the smarter solution requires only O(n) time while the brute force requires O(2ⁿ⁻¹) time! Conclusion That’s it! As always, I hope you liked the article and found it somehow useful. If so, consider leaving a clap or two or sharing it: it would make my day! I also have a page, if you want to contribute to the redaction of these articles by sharing a coffee with me!

The Avalanche Algorithm — How To Calculate the Maximum Possible Path in a Binary Tree

In a groundbreaking collaboration, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is set to revolutionize credentialing in India through the implementation of the Avalanche blockchain. This move is particularly significant for the nation, which boasts the second-largest IEEE membership base outside the United States, with over 75,000 members actively contributing to the technological landscape. Empowering India's Tech Leaders: IEEE's Blockchain Credentialing IEEE, a global technology leader, will deploy the Avalanche to issue tamper-evident certificates, ensuring the verification process becomes tamper-proof, instant, and secure. For the thriving tech community in India, this heralds a new era where IEEE credentials will be digitally secure and easily verifiable, setting the stage for accelerated career growth and recognition. blockchain IEEE and Zupple Labs: Pioneering the Blockchain Credentialing Landscape This forward-looking initiative is made possible through a partnership between IEEE and Zupple Labs. The collaboration utilizes LegitDoc, a blockchain-based credential lifecycle management system developed by Zupple Labs, to facilitate the issuance of blockchain certificates. Neil Martis, co-founder of Zupple Labs, shared insights into the growing willingness of the Indian public sector to embrace full-fledged blockchain projects, marking a shift from pilot projects over the past 12 months. Avalanche Blockchain: A Catalyst for Change Avalanche's C-Chain emerges as the primary settlement layer for IEEE's certificate issuance, driven by its compatibility with the . Devika Mittal, Head of Avalanche's India arm, underlines the simplicity Avalanche's EVM compatibility brings to the deployment of widely used applications, including credential registries and identity management. With top institutions like SK Planet and JP Morgan Onyx endorsing Avalanche, the platform becomes the preferred choice for organizations seeking a secure and efficient blockchain solution. Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Future-Ready Credentials: Web3 Participation Encouraged The IEEE-Zupple Labs partnership is poised to issue hundreds of thousands of tamper-proof credentials specifically tailored for India's dynamic engineering community. This announcement not only signifies a pivotal moment in education credentialing but also sets a powerful precedent for broader Web3 participation. While instances of fraudulent degrees and certifications persist globally, India has faced its fair share of challenges in this regard. For example, in a series of at Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat), four cases of forged degree certificates and mark lists have surfaced since 2020, exposing vulnerabilities in the university's admission and employment verification processes. Notably, three B.Tech students from the School of Engineering, having failed to clear the final year exam, resorted to creating fake certificates to secure employment. disconcerting incidents Their employers only discovered the fraudulent acts when doubts arose about the authenticity of the submitted degree certificates. These cases not only highlight the challenges universities face in ensuring the integrity of their certification processes but also emphasize the pressing need for a more secure and foolproof system, such as blockchain technology, to prevent the proliferation of forged credentials. As educational institutions grapple with the complexities of verification, the adoption of advanced technologies becomes imperative to safeguard the credibility of academic achievements.

In its ongoing journey to reshape the crypto investing landscape, Struct Finance, a DeFi platform that enables investors to engage with tailored interest rate products linked to digital assets, is thrilled to announce the launch of the BTC.B-USDC Vaults. The tranche-based BTC.B-USDC Interest Rate Product was made possible by effectively leveraging Avalanche’s BTC.B (Bridged Bitcoin) for DeFi applications. The new vault beautifully complements Struct Finance’s Genesis USDC Vaults, heralding an exciting era in DeFi yield opportunities. Struct Finance built the new vault on top of GMX's Liquidity Provider Token (GLP) to generate predictable yields for BTC in the form of fixed returns, and USDC in the form of variable returns, while still leveraging a secure asset and minimizing volatility and exposure to other risks. “Our BTC.B-USDC Vaults represent an innovative application of Bitcoin in DeFi. We're taking full advantage of Avalanche's Bridged Bitcoin (BTC.B) to bring about a fresh wave of opportunities in the digital asset space,” said Ersin Dalkali, the Co-founder of Struct Finance. While continues to dominate the market, its inherent lack of a DeFi layer has traditionally made native yield generation quite challenging. Avalanche has unlocked new possibilities for Bitcoin in DeFi with BTC.B (Bridged Bitcoin). Unlike WBTC which relied on centralized bridges, BTC.B is minted via Avalanche Core — a decentralized bridge — and can be trustlessly bridged across networks using the Layer Zero bridge. Bitcoin At present, Bitcoin investments in prominent lending pools yield between 0.2–0.5%. Even the stable swap pools offering wBTC-BTC.B products only manage to deliver returns of about 2%. Struct’s BTC.B-USDC product shatters these limitations, offering significantly higher yields. The purpose of BTC.B is to empower BTC holders to explore DeFi opportunities on the Avalanche blockchain, without the need to acquire secondary tokens or rely on centralized bridges. BTC.B represents BTC coins transferred to the Avalanche blockchain in the form of ERC-20 tokens. With over 6000 BTC bridged and a fully diluted value of $180 million, BTC.B is carving a niche for itself in the crypto arena. The Bitcoin ETF applications by BlackRock, WisdomTree, and Invesco – three of the world’s leading asset managers – are not just a mere submission. It is a signal that the traditional financial realm is ready to embrace Bitcoin on a new level. Recently, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gave the green light to a 2X leveraged Bitcoin ETF, sparking an enthusiastic wave of speculation and anticipation for approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF. Disclaimer: This release is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial promotion. Delta hedging Amid the highly volatile crypto industry, Struct Finance’s Interest Rate Products allow anyone to split and repackage the risk of any yield-bearing DeFi assets in different parts to fit their risk profile through an innovative process called “tranching.” Every Interest Rate Product is a single vault split into two portions, or tranches that have different return configurations: A Fixed-return Tranche for conservative investors looking for consistent returns A Variable-return Tranche for investors with a higher risk appetite seeking superior returns The yield from the underlying asset flows into the fixed tranche first to ensure predictable returns. The remainder is then allocated to the variable tranche, which gets enhanced exposure to the underlying yield-bearing asset. Compared to the fixed tranche, the variable tranche might accrue more yield, less yield, or no yield. As part of its BTC.B-USDC Vaults, Struct Finance has implemented a unique approach to managing investment risk: delta hedging. While the fixed tranche takes center stage with its high yield, the variable side of the product offers an additional layer of intriguing complexity and potential. Upon deployment of funds into the vault, the BTC.B in the fixed tranche gets converted into GMX’s GLP token, setting up a position that’s short Bitcoin against GLP and contributing a negative delta. In contrast, the USDC on the variable side is converted into GLP, which inherently carries a positive delta. This innovative delta-hedged product design achieves a fine balance between the positive and negative delta forces. It results in a robust strategy that allows investors to confidently navigate the crypto market’s inherent volatility. This artful interplay of the fixed and variable sides within the vaults opens the doors for investors to tap into the potential of Bitcoin investments like never before. By catering to a diverse range of risk appetites, Struct Finance ensures that both retail and institutional investors can tailor their strategies to maximize their returns, regardless of market conditions. About Struct Finance Struct Finance is at the forefront of the DeFi revolution, with a vision to transform the design and utility of financial products. It empowers users to design their own financial instruments, harnessing the power of tokenized, yield-bearing positions to unlock a world of diverse investment opportunities. Moreover, its cutting-edge financial products adopt a tranche-based system, smartly distributing yield between different investor classes. This balanced approach guarantees a steady yield for risk-averse investors while also offering the prospect of heightened returns to the more adventurous. Initially available on Avalanche, Struct Finance plans to go multichain in the near future.
