TOKYO, Japan, October 31st, 2024/Chainwire/--Mawari Network a spatial computing DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network), has announced a limited node license sale. Already a pioneer in immersive content, the node sale will make Mawari’s 3D streaming technology more scalable and accessible for content creators and developers. This node sale will help create a global, decentralized spatial computing infrastructure as the market for extended reality devices like the Apple Vision Pro, Meta Orion, and Meta Quest 3 is projected to reach more than 100 million units in the next five years. As demand for immersive experiences grows, Mawari is building a network that can grow with it. Mawari’s infrastructure is optimized for the demanding needs of immersive experiences, positioning Mawari as a key actor in the emerging multibillion-dollar spatial computing market. Called “a sleeping lion” by Samsung Next, Mawari is redefining and building the future of spatial computing. Its solution comprises the Spatial Streaming SDK and the Mawari Network. The SDK, supporting the Unity and Unreal engines, empowers developers to create seamless, immersive experiences. The Mawari Network, working in parallel, leverages a globally distributed network of GPU nodes to ensure low latency and optimal performance. The node license sale's objective is to help scale the network, optimize its global performance, and ensure its resiliency. “This node sale allows node operators to help bring 3D content to the world, and be rewarded for their efforts,” Luis Oscar Ramirez, Mawari’s Founder & CEO said. “The current cloud services didn’t allow us to scale our proprietary spatial streaming technology, we researched ways to scale immersive content and found DePIN was clearly the best option. Now, we can allow our global community of node operators to participate in building out our critical node network alongside our community of developers and content creators.” Mawari has worked with industry leaders, such as Deutsche Telekom, KDDI, Telefonica, Magic Leap, Netflix, Qualcomm, T-Mobile and dozens of other clients. The Solana Foundation recently selected Mawari for a grant, endorsing its roadmap for decentralized spatial computing. Backed by investors including Anfield LTD, Borderless Capital, 1k(x), and Samsung Next, and with veteran DePIN and web3 operator, Sean Carey, a co-founder of Helium, also joining its board, Mawari is the clear category leader. Node Sale Details The node sale is scheduled for Q4 2024, building out the Mawari Network’s ability to perform compute-intensive tasks and efficiently deliver immersive 3D content on a global scale. The Mawari Network will be leveraging specialized GPUs around the world for advanced computation and streaming tasks, but a set of Guardian Nodes are needed to verify their work and the performance of the network overall as it serves multiple simultaneous immersive experiences. The node sale is for licenses to operate these critical Guardian Nodes. More specifically, Guardian Nodes’ responsibilities include assessing critical performance indicators like latency, bandwidth, and content quality to maintain the high standards necessary for immersive, real-time experiences. By monitoring the Mawari network, the community-run Guardian Nodes will make it more performant and more resilient, ensuring it can scale securely as it grows. Details of the node license sale will be announced soon. About Mawari Mawari is setting the standard for decentralized spatial computing and immersive content delivery. The Mawari Network powers real-time streaming of immersive content through a global network of compute nodes. Mawari is optimizing XR for awe, creating unforgettable experiences and revolutionizing how creators engage audiences at scale.

In this exclusive interview, Dmitry Zhelezov, co-founder of Subsquid (SQD), discusses the platform's recent $17 million funding round, its groundbreaking "modular indexing" technology, and the future of decentralized data access. Ishan Pandey: Hi Dmitry, welcome to our interview series. SQD recently launched its SQD token and has raised over $17 million in funding. Can you share the vision behind Subsquid and how the SQD token fits into your ecosystem? Dmitry Zhelezov: A lot of effort and billions of VC funding have been put into scaling the throughput of blockchains, namely how fast you put in new transactions. But at the same time, at the internet scale, the data is read on average 10-100 times more frequently than it’s written – you can think of how many twitter posts you read and compare to how many you write. Yet, the read access to real-time and historical blockchain data is more like an afterthought. Our mission at SQD is to enable permissionless, trustless access to the entirety of Web3 data at the Internet scale. Ishan Pandey: Indexing platforms are crucial for Web3 scalability. How does SQDd's approach to indexing differentiate itself from other solutions in the market, and what unique benefits does it offer to developers and users? Dmitry Zhelezov: Data Indexing is a complex multi-step process and is not dissimilar to how crude oil is refined into high-octane petrol. And likewise specialization is key to scale data indexing to the industrial scale. We at SQD pioneered what we call modular indexing design, where the data indexing pipeline is split into multiple completely independent steps. The key bottleneck we addressed is the step to extract the raw data. We are replacing the highly inefficient RPC nodes with read-optimized SQD Network for data access. The SQD Network is not only decentralized but is at least 100x more performant than the traditional way of indexing data. Ishan Pandey: SQD has recently partnered with Deutsche Telekom to run dedicated worker nodes. How do you see this collaboration enhancing the security and efficiency of blockchain data retrieval, and what does it mean for the future of decentralized infrastructure? Dmitry Zhelezov: Deutsche Telekom is one of the most notable players in the Web3 Infra space. For us, it’s not merely a stamp of quality approval but a strong boost for network liveness and decentralization. By design, the data in the SQD is spread across all nodes in the network with the maximal redundancy, so with the top-tier DT Infra team joining the network, we feel confidence in the quality of service it provides. Ishan Pandey: Your platform started in the Polkadot ecosystem but has since expanded to Ethereum and is now in beta for Solana. How do you manage the challenges of cross-chain indexing, and what opportunities does this multi-chain approach present? Dmitry Zhelezov: The SQD Network is designed to address the data access problem across the whole Web3 space, and can accommodate virtually any sort of on-chain data. This is the power of the modular indexing design, where we managed to make the SQD Network (the base data access layer part) truly chain-agnostic, putting the work of data decoding and transformation on the client side, close to the application business logic. Ishan Pandey: The concept of a decentralized "data lake" is intriguing. Can you explain how this works in practice and how it contributes to the overall efficiency and resilience of Web3 applications? Dmitry Zhelezov: Well, in fact SQD Network is more like a “Data Ocean” rather than a “Data Lake”. You can think of it as a planetary-scale database distributed across more than a thousand nodes each holding a chunk of data. The protocol ensures that there’s enough redundancy that no data is lost, and the nodes themselves act as mini-databases to query the chunk data they have. The access to the data as well as the rewards for the nodes is powered by the $SQD token, ensuring censorship-resistant, non-KYC access to the entirety of the data from anywhere in the world. Finally, the advanced cryptography and economic security guarantess that the data served by the nodes is not corrupted and sound. Ishan Pandey: As blockchain networks continue to grow and generate more data, what do you see as the biggest challenges for indexing platforms in the coming years, and how is SQD preparing to address these challenges? Dmitry Zhelezov: The exponential pace at which the amount of historical data is growing is probably the biggest challenge by far. Unfortunately, many ecosystems, like Solana Foundation or like Lens protocol, go for stop-gap centralized solutions like putting their data into Google Big Query. While it may solve some immediate developer needs, having a permissionless, extremely low-cost way to query and access this data is a must. Ishan Pandey: Looking ahead, how do you envision the role of indexing platforms evolving in the Web3 ecosystem, and what potential breakthroughs or innovations in this space excite you the most? Dmitry Zhelezov: The most exciting innovations are definitely coming from the advancements in modern cryptography. The two things I am particularly looking forward to is the further reduction of ZK proof generation by another two orders of magnitude (going from from affordable to extremely cheap), and then the mainstream adoption of the Fully Homorphic Encryption. The progress on ZK would allow it to fully leverage the compute power of very low-cost, untrusted nodes combined with the mathematical level of confidence in the validity of the data queries. Right now we are almost there, yet one has to resort to some trade-offs in terms to mitigate to yet still relatively high cost of generating a ZK proof. The FHE is even more exciting as it will allow it to incorporate private data into the SQD Network, utilize the full power of its query engine to filter and aggregate the data, without compromising the privacy. Only the clients then will be able to decode the query results. Don’t forget to like and share the story!

Major Partners To Join The Upcoming Aleph Zero CTRL+Hack+ZK Hackathon

*Note: a SWOT analysis is an evaluation of the fundamental, operational, technical, social, economic, and even to some degree administrative elements of a project. This is not a model to be used for trading purposes. (NFA, DYOR) Composed of four elements, Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, a SWOT analysis framework provides excellent insight for establishing a high-level understanding of the state of a project’s well-being through the lens of a birds-eye view. It can help formulate decisions around which areas require more attention, set performance goals, and organize a foundational understanding of where a project is headed. Rarely (if ever) used in crypto, it is time to apply this timeless method of evaluation to the digital asset space. Today, Celo (CELO), the carbon-negative, mobile-first blockchain dedicated to “creating conditions of prosperity for all” through regenerative finance, will get a SWOT. 💪 Strengths (Internal) (Helpful) 1. REFI Positioning A combination of DEFI and social good, regenerative finance is a movement that taps into ecological benefits to society and/or the environment. No network has remotely as much of the intellectual mindshare around innovations happening in this space as Celo. Affiliating itself with social good from launch, Celo has become the host of today’s leading projects, including Toucan, Kolektivo, Flowcarbon, Gooddollar, Glo Dollar, Impact Market, and others. Considering how underserved and under explored REFI has been as a whole, there is no upper bound to model the potential returns this as a sector can attract during the seasonal capital shuffling. 2. On-Chain Metrics Blossoming After a painful bear market and drawn-out winter, the seasons have shifted, and the on-chain metrics have thawed. Celo has been showing strong, sustainable growth across the board. DAA (Daily Active Addresses) have been going parabolic since May 2023, rallying from 5k in December 2022 to around 200k exactly 1 year later, a clean 40x. Total addresses jumped from 1.5m to ~4m (a notable 2.67x). TVL has begun ticking up from ~$80m to ~$120m. Total amount of active, verified, smart contracts steadily rising beyond 33,000. Daily transactions have rebounded from their painful lows of around 100k per day earlier this year to around 400k now, and no signs of slowing down. 3. Focus on Stablecoin Payments Many people underestimate how still nascent and small crypto is relative to the enormous economic markets it is tackling. Remaining one of the largest financial sectors ripe for disruption, payments are tightly correlated with stablecoins, and stablecoins are tightly correlated with real commercial/retail adoption; therefore, the use case and value proposition that Celo is pursuing have universal appeal. Moreover, having a concrete vision and a clear market to innovate around does not receive enough recognition. The vast majority of alternative layer 1’s lack focus and try too hard to become the ultimate generalized solutions that can support every exotic use case under the degen sun. Celo can allocate its resources and efforts more efficiently and not waste time on things such as Memecoins. This is not to say memecoins are bad, just highlighting the nature of the project. 4. Network of Validators Home to 110 validator nodes, owned by 78 independent entities, including some of the most significant Web2 technology companies on the plant, such as Google Cloud, Deutsche Telekom, Telefonica, et al., as well as some of the most well-known crypto and Web3 entities such as Binance, Polychain Capital, Blockdaemon, and others; Celo has the material support from a set of validators many dream of. 5. One Block Finality A common area of concern in the context of public blockchain infrastructure, finality has become a definitive factor in the design preferences of financial institutions around the world. As it relates to retail finance, the quicker the finality, the more confidence the users have with their transactions, the more likely they are to return and use the product again. Celo has always had this at the front of mind in their operations. This “immediate” finality structure mitigates reorgs (something infinitely valuable at the enterprise level) and was possibly an important factor in Celo being able to build powerful relationships with legacy Web2 conglomerates. 6. Finite CELO Supply Inflation Launching with 60% (600m) of the total token supply circulating (depending on how it’s measured), Celo has an extremely smooth emission model to release the remaining 40% (400m) of tokens over the course of 30 years (ending in 2050). At the end of the emissions, the token supply model would, in fact, become slightly deflationary due to the transaction burns. Moreover, the emissions are primarily allocated to community building and validator/staking incentives, which means they would potentially foster economically resilient networks of aligned actors. This is, of course, in addition to the most sensitive benefit of balancing the impacts of dilution on existing/early participants. 7. Transaction Fee Payments While most major blockchains constantly deal with the friction of forcing participants to acquire native tokens in order to interact with the networks, Celo has introduced semi-agnostic network fee payments, allowing transactions to be paid for in any of the approved alternative assets. Opting for such a model seems counterintuitive as it would defeat the existential purpose of the gas token itself; however, it is not unlikely that this friendliness translates to a higher degree of adoption. By having multi-asset fee payments, the network can, in fact, help bolster asset velocity and become economically intertwined with other projects. 😞 Weaknesses (Internal) (Harmful) 1. Gingerbread Identity Crises Celo used to distinguish itself in the marketplace by playing the role of an independent, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain network focused on mobile clients and payments (aka stablecoins). Recently, however, the project has embarked on a technical restructuring (known as the “Gingerbread” hard fork) to transition into an extension of the Ethereum ecosystem by becoming an OP-stack-based Layer 2. Even though this action was enforced by the community itself through a governance proposal, such a fundamental pivot can result in organizational chaos, which, if untamed, can result in the collapse of interest. If the project built its community on a specific set of fundamental beliefs and those beliefs change, it runs the risk of alienating previous members. 2. Low Network Earning vs MCAP Validator earnings is a theme that plagues all low-fee, high-throughput layer 1 networks. Earnings are established based on how much validators accrue from transaction fees. Considering that most transactions on Celo are below <$0.001 and only a small portion of them are paid to validators, it comes as no surprise that the CELO network posted annual earnings around sub <$50,000 USD. When weighed against its floating capitalization of $324,577,949, we arrive at a ratio of 6,500:1. To be totally fair, as an individual metric to gauge a cryptocurrency’s “fair value,” this is incomplete, but can certainly be used as a component in building a more complete picture. 🧐 Opportunities (External) (Helpful) 1. Low DEFI Diversity Currently sitting at just three (3) with Mento, Curve, and Uniswap controlling over 90% of Celo’s total DEFI TVL, the decentralized financial scene on Celo is craving development. Of natively built Celo solutions, only Mento has any material relevance with its some odd 60 million collateralized stablecoins minted; otherwise, the leading DEX is non-native, lending markets are effectively non-existent, and no derivatives/perps built on it. Young projects looking to gain center stage in an ecosystem and old-timers looking to expand to new horizons would find Celo a pleasant opportunity due to its lack of competition and EVM compatibility. It is almost certain that over the course of the next 12–24 months, this balance will change; the projects that rise to capture market share will bring abundance to the Celo social sphere. 2. Gingerbread Hard Fork Activated at the End of Q3 as the initiation of Celo’s techno-economic restructuring, Gingerbread is a 2-phase process that will transform the network from an independent EVM-compatible Layer 1 to an ETH-aligned Layer 2. Introducing a multitude of changes, including the principle of “Ultragreen Money,” which will adjust the transaction mechanism to burn 80% of fees and funnel 20% towards a Carbon offset Fund. Supercharging finality guarantees with a second layer of security derived from the Ethereum epochs (so finality within Celo itself and the finality of its Data on Ethereum). Leveraging the OP-stack for its execution and EigenDA for posting its activity engenders Celo to both of those ecosystems, which could translate into powerful network effects. The existing validators will have their roles shift into sequencers, which would make Celo the first L2 to have a truly decentralized sequencer set. 3. Support from Ethereum Ecosystem By aligning itself with Ethereum, it seems more likely than not that many reputable protocols will extend operations over to Celo, especially when considering the extremely high level of compatibility that will be present. Already getting public praise from prominent members Vitalik and Joseph Lubin for their innovations, lending protocol AAVE has announced that it will be coming to Celo, bringing with it the mature infrastructure and stakeholder set already prevalent across many EVM-compatible networks. 😳 Threats (External) (Harmful) 1. DEFI Centralization With just 3 protocols controlling over 90% of the TVL on Celo, the ecosystem is at risk of over-concentrated protocols that disincentivize new competitors. Liquidity is highly reflexive; where there is liquidity, more shall flow; where there is little, it shall dry over time. Certainly, the argument can be made that centralization counteracts fragmentation and increases market efficiencies, but having a high degree of reliance on a small group of actors introduces unwanted risks for Celo itself. Without stimulating competition, new ideas will not make their way to Celo and instead be attracted to more conducive environments. 2. Weak Social Presence CELO does not have the ravaging maniacal die-hard community members or social presence common to most L1s. Even though this quaintness might seem understandable from the perspective of enterprise participants, those raw savage human emotions that drive market hype cycles through peek euphoria and keep it alive in the depths of winter are the foundation of markets. By not cultivating this kind of culture, it is only a matter of time until the projects that do capture all the creative imaginations and attract more users. Meme’s matter. Takeaway: Laying closer to the centralized side of Web3, Celo is a polished environment that emphasizes cooperation, coordination, and goodwill without degen tribalism. Carbon neutrality, prosperity, cooperation, and a smorgasbord of other ESG-conscious, purpose-driven material is woven throughout all of its branding and content. While generally tucked away from the average retail participant, Celo has received a lot of support and recognition from renowned industry insiders, including Vitalik Buterin, Sreeram Kannan, Joseph Lubin, et al., for its technical decisions, as well as operational integrations with global megacorps such as Kickstarter and Google Cloud. Conclusion: Fostering environmental well-being, supercharging capitalism with the narrative to become a tool for social good, and delicately balancing financial innovation, Celo is an intellectually stimulating project that has put considerable effort into distinguishing itself from others and defining its product market fit. In the unique position of abandoning its original architecture in hopes of reinvigorating market interest with technology, Celo has become an interesting project to watch, if not for price, then as a case study on the merits of such fundamental structural changes. One simply cannot fade the long-term potential of Celo. Thank you so much for reading, I hope this serves you well on your journey. Live long and prosper 🥂 Also published . here

Blockchains, by default, are isolated from each other. Performing value and data transfers securely cross-chain requires special implementations, such as the one developed by Axelar, which will soon add MultiversX to its growing list of supported networks. MultiversX, the first fully sharded blockchain architecture that is capable of 100,000+ transactions per second at negligible fees, continues its aggressive expansion, called Hypergrowth, with a new integration aimed at boosting interoperability. Once in production, the Axelar interoperability layer will allow assets from over 50 chains to be bridged over to MultiversX, and vice-versa, enabling them to benefit from increased performance and efficiency. For example, ERC-20 tokens like USDC, USDT, or even ETH, will become extremely convenient to use for payments and DeFi opportunities by inheriting the capabilities of the MultiversX network. On top of fast and inexpensive transfers, tokens operating on MultiversX gain from several other enhancements like composability by design, non-VM dependance, and superior security as it eliminates the problematic ‘approve’ and ‘transferFrom’ functions that cause most of the wallet drains on EVM chains. ” said Lucian Mincu, CIO MultiversX “Tokens should not reside in smart contracts. There are undeniable advantages in having them operate in the same way as the native network token, and Axelar introducing additional interoperability options for letting more users, communities and developers engage with the innovative MultiversX token standard will benefit the entire blockchain ecosystem. The Axelar cross-chain gateway protocol is powered by a dynamic validator set to ensure decentralization, robustness and censorship-resistance. The integration with MultiversX will include a set of plug-and-play tools for developers to be able to easily go cross-chain with their decentralized applications. This will make it possible for users to “interact with any asset, any application, on any chain, with one click”. said Georgios Vlachos, Director at Axelar Foundation “Axelar network is continually expanding to connect all of Web3.  That expansion continues with MultiversX, a vibrant ecosystem that will add value and utility to all 50+ connected chains." The planned integration has just been announced by representatives of the two projects on the xDay stage. The annual conference organized by MultiversX gathered major tech companies such as Google Cloud, AWS, Tencent Cloud, Deutsche Telekom, as well as government officials, builders and specialists from various domains to present new innovations and paths to integrate blockchains into digitization efforts. About Axelar Axelar is the full-stack interoperability layer for Web3.

In the presentation below, the Product Owner at T-Systems MMS, Tobias Jung, shares details about how the telecommunications company is providing blockchain infrastructure and its role as a Chainlink node operator. https://youtu.be/-DhideH97EM?embedable=true Below are some key facts about T-Systems MMS and the blockchain-related work they are doing. What is T-Systems MMS ? As their name suggests, Deutsche Telekom is a leading telecommunications provider in Germany. Partially owned by the state and people of Germany, Telekom is one of the largest telecommunications providers in the world and the largest in Europe by revenue.  T-Systems MMS is a subsidiary of the company that deals with digital business. T-Systems MMS  has been exploring Web3 applications since 2020. T-Systems MMS & Oracles T-Systems MMS’ main business in the oracle space has been as a node operator for a number of public blockchains. Node operators play the vital role of verifying and recording transactions on the blockchain. Having multiple node validators verify and come to a consensus about a transaction is a key feature of decentralization. T-Systems MMS is one of them, leveraging the infrastructure of Deutsche Telekom to support blockchain networks. T-Systems MMS & Liquid Staking Staking poses a number of challenges for users. One of those challenges is the lock-up period, where users cannot withdraw their tokens for a fixed period of time. This lock-up period stops users from accessing their tokens for other transactions. Lock-up periods are just one example of the huge mental and technological barriers that potential new users have to overcome in order to participate in staking. In spite of these hurdles, new users are often attracted to staking products due to attractive Annual Percentage Returns (APR). However, the minimum lock-up period naturally leads to opportunity cost – as DeFi constantly produces new use cases for tokens that generate yield, income, and other benefits – from Liquidity Providing on DEXes to Lending/Borrowing strategies on money markets. Because lock-up periods effectively stop users from using their tokens in other ways, competition between the other token usages and staking arises. The other challenge is the minimum stake, where a large number of tokens is required for people to set up their own nodes. Sometimes, that might mean users would need millions of Euros in tokens to participate as a node operator in the space, pricing out most people, and defeating the whole point of decentralization. One solution for this is liquid staking. With liquid staking, users stake their tokens on a decentralized protocol, which gives them a copy of their tokens. These tokens can still continue to be used in other DeFi protocols and continue to be yield-bearing. This allows stakers to earn interest from staking while still using their tokens for other DeFi applications and is a space that is growing in interest and adoption. Other Applications: Apart from this, T-Systems MMS has also been a for the last 2 years and provides data feeds to DeFi applications. They are currently also looking into Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible side chains. Click here for more information about . Chainlink node operator EVM T-Systems MMS’ Three-Pronged Approach: The strategic view that T-Systems MMS takes toward supporting blockchain has 3 aspects – Investments, Infrastructure, and Use Cases: Investment For networks that are just starting out, funding is a key area of support required. While this has traditionally been the space for Venture Capitalists or private equity firms, crypto opens it up to many other players, and Deutsche Telekom is one of those that looks to fund and support new networks. Infrastructure Once a project’s main framework is built, it needs to scale in order to become viable as a use case. This is where infrastructure support is needed, to help increase the number of transactions that can be validated. Deutsche Telekom also provides support to a number of players in this area. Use Case The last area is in building use cases for blockchain technology. This is where Deutsche Telekom actively seeks and builds marketplaces that can bring useful blockchain technologies to their large base of customers. As is typical in a company as large as Deutsche Telekom, there are many considerations when moving in this space, and that can sometimes result in slower progress. However, Deutsche Telekom is steadily exploring and backing blockchain technology as the next phase of technological evolution. This is not without its challenges of course. Blockchain technology is rapidly developing and changing, so it can be difficult for slower, more conservative companies like Deutsche Telekom to keep up to speed and relevant. The ever-changing regulations around crypto also pose another challenge, as it creates an additional layer of uncertainty and risks. Deutsche Telekom, therefore, has to explore new ways of working such as setting up infrastructure in neutral or non-EU companies like Switzerland in order to mitigate those risks. Lastly, security breaches in the blockchain space can negatively impact how consumers feel about the technology as a whole and is another area that Deutsche Telekom needs to contend with when developing in this space. However, Deutsche Telekom remains committed to supporting the development of blockchain technologies and signaling that the space is not only for small companies and startups, but even large mega corporations like Deutsche Telekom have faith in the longevity of the technology. This will hopefully help to create greater trust and support for the industry as a whole. The Blockchain Oracle Summit was the first conference to focus solely on the importance of oracles. Leading experts from across the DeFi-TradFi spectrum gathered in Berlin to discuss their work using oracles to facilitate innovative use cases of blockchain technology. Also published here.

How Telecommunication Companies can Impact Defi and Staking

Quantum computers are much more powerful than devices we are used to and can perform well in various areas of life. At the same time, hacking with their help can instantly bring down digital systems in critical infrastructures. Even have emerged. quantum-resistant blockchains Quantum Technologies Quantum technologies (quantum computers, quantum communications, and quantum sensors) are gradually moving out of laboratories and into the real world. New scientific discoveries are helping to promote and commercialize the technology. in the top 10 breakthrough technologies of 2020. Even today, anyone can get cloud access to IBM's quantum computer. Its developers believe that in this way, you can find many different applications of the new technology and accelerate its development. MIT included the quantum internet It is assumed that quantum computers will surpass classical ones in many ways. They will bring incredible results in medicine, industry, and other sectors. At the same time, such power will open the way for unprecedented cybercrimes. Asymmetric cryptography is most often used to protect data in many areas, but it is unstable to attacks involving a quantum computer. Quantum hacking will bring down all the usual digital systems in telecommunication, IT, banking, medicine, and other critical infrastructures. Interfering with digital operations using quantum computers may seem like an episode from the future. However, attackers can steal data now and decrypt it later when innovative computing technology leaves laboratories for private use. Today, various industries are aware of this danger and prepare protection in advance, without waiting for the appearance of a universal quantum computer powerful enough to solve useful tasks as well as to crack cryptography. Quantum Key Distribution (Qkd) As a Way of Protection Against Quantum Computer Attacks A real market is forming around new ways of data transfer that can withstand quantum attacks. First, it is quantum communications - Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). This technology uses the quantum properties of elementary particles - photons - to protect the transmission of information at the level of the fundamental laws of physics. The is projected to reach US$ 5269.55 million by 2028, from US$ 1411.96 million in 2021, at a CAGR of 19.56% during 2022-2028. global Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) market size Quantum communications (QC) is a field that develops technologies or methods for transmitting information encoded into quantum states. One of the directions of quantum communications is quantum key distribution, which provides guarantees at the level of the physics laws regarding the protection of transmitted information. Therefore, many government agencies and big businesses are ahead of the curve. They investigate threats, implement quantum-secure cryptographic solutions, and plan to make money on this. For example, Toshiba announced a partnership with telecommunications companies Verizon Communication Inc in the United States and BT Group in the UK. The to earn $3 billion from solutions to protect against quantum threats by 2030. corporation plans Interest in quantum communications on different levels is emphasized by high-profile pilot projects in the telecommunications and banking industries. In parallel, the process of standardizing the technology within NIST (U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology). Protection for Mobile Internet Users may not even notice how many transactions a day they make. Electronic payments, logins to personal accounts, registrations on social networks, communication in messengers: personal data is extremely vulnerable at the moment of transmission. Therefore, an important event was that a from manufacturer ID Quantique. telecommunications giant SK Telecom announced chipset with a quantum random number generator (QRNG) The technology is built into the Samsung Galaxy A Quantum 5G smartphone. Thus, the manufacturers intend to increase the security of users' personal data on the Internet of the future. For example, to secure login to accounts, do operations with an electronic wallet, and make mobile payments. The ambitious pilot project was announced as the first experience of commercialization of quantum technologies for cell phones. was interested in the Samsung Galaxy A Quantum 5G smartphone. Customers' transactions through the banking application on the Samsung Galaxy A Quantum 5G smartphone will be protected by encryption based on truly unpredictable random numbers. Korean bank DGB Daegu This reaction is legitimate. estimate that hacking attacks will damage the global economy by more than $1 trillion in 2020. McAfee and CSIS Quantum Protection for Fiber Optic Communication Lines Another vector of quantum attacks could be trunk lines because they transmit strategically important data. Copying and breaking this data can lead to losses of billions of dollars. IT services face the complex and important task of integrating cryptographic solutions into highly loaded channels resistant to prospective attacks, including quantum computers. These solutions require: Integration of high-speed hardware symmetric key ciphers Quantum key distribution that provides these encryptors with secret keys The transmission of single photons requires a dedicated fiber optic strand. Since networks are often congested, scientists are working to ensure that quantum and classical signals can coexist on the same fiber at different wavelengths. Corporations-giants in the communications industry worldwide support the trend of quantum security in telecommunications. has provided its facilities to study the limitations of quantum key distribution technology. German telecommunications company Deutsche Telekom (DT) The testbed included DT's 100-kilometer fiber-optic network. The Berlin pilot project is part of a larger project of the OPENQKD consortium, which is being implemented in parallel in several European countries. The project's main goal was to prepare for the emergence of quantum computers capable of breaking cryptographic ciphers in a day rather than the millions of years that classical computers need for similar tasks. Information security solutions based on quantum-resistant encryption algorithms (post-quantum cryptography) are being developed in conjunction with quantum communications. Post-quantum cryptography is a new generation of cryptographic algorithms that prove resistant to attacks using traditional computing architectures and quantum computers. Compared to traditional algorithms, post-quantum algorithms use different mathematical principles. Quantum and post-quantum cryptography complement each other as hardware and software solutions in classical cryptography. If we look at how this is applied in practice, we see that quantum cryptography is suitable for protecting highly loaded communication channels and channels that carry strategically valuable information. For example, between bank offices, data centers, or top management videoconferences. At the same time, post-quantum cryptography can solve the problem of securing unencumbered channels. For example, has integrated post-quantum technology into its network equipment. The company notes that the solution is relevant for wired communications, wireless networks, and 5G. South Korean mobile operator LGU+ also announced the development of several quantum-safe projects. IBM representatives Connecting to Space Terrestrial and underground telecommunications systems have coverage limitations. It is impossible to lay such networks in many places on our planet. Therefore, another challenge of the quantum era is learning to transmit a signal quantum via satellite. In the summer of 2020, a was set for the transmission range of an encrypted message without intermediate receiving/transmitting points. Scientists in China used entangled photons from a quantum communication satellite. record The two observatories in China that sent and received the messages were 1,200 kilometers apart. The signal transmission had a very low error rate. This has important implications for a secure internet. If intruders intercept the signal, the receiving point on Earth will detect a sharp jump in the error rate of the transmitted key. And it will not be used to decode the information. Therefore, the basic error level should be as low as possible. Advances in this area will help to increase the coverage area of quantum-secure data transmission. How to Protect Against Quantum Attacks in 2023 All of these vectors may seem terribly far-fetched, but looking at 2022, the industry is waiting for the first public case of a quantum computer hack. After that, the cybersecurity landscape will seriously change. The availability of hacking capabilities will likely not be immediately known to the general public. Going into the quantum era should be done in calm and consistent steps. Check your information security department's knowledge of new technologies and data protection methods. If knowledge is not enough, participate in open educational events on quantum technologies, which leading technological universities regularly hold in the country. Analyze the value of data in your organization. Quantum cryptography will primarily be needed for those companies that transmit or process critical information and personal user data with long retention periods. For example, in the telecommunications, banking, and IT industries. This kind of analysis is already available in the industry, not just in scientific laboratories. Develop a new information security strategy and determine the amount of investment needed. Based on this, select and research solutions to help your business transition to a quantum-secure architecture. This step requires an individual approach for each company based on the current level of staff training and technical equipment. Develop new technological competencies within your company, hire specialists who understand quantum communications, or train core employees in advance. Quantum communications is a new industry in the context of technology commercialization. Until recently, it was closed in laboratories, but today the market is already forming an ongoing demand for specialists in this field. For example, JPMorgan is implementing an overall quantum computing and communications strategy. The company publishes job openings showing interest in developing quantum algorithms applied to artificial intelligence, optimization, and cryptography. As with any other potential threat, do not wait for the "last moment". Instead, plan a transition to quantum-secure solutions in cycles of information infrastructure upgrades with the cooperation of experts in the field of quantum communications integration.

How to Protect Against Attacks Using a Quantum Computer

The Helium Network carries unique use cases for a cryptocurrency, setting it apart from other trending projects that aim to compete with (or complement) innovations in digital payments or DeFi. This innovation in wireless tech focuses on connectivity and data tracking with its global web of hotspot miners. Although crypto assets currently face a fear-dominated bear market, HNT remains a promising innovation that investors and growing tech companies are still keeping an eye on, simply because of all the opportunity that surrounds it. Most notably, there’s the potential to alleviate global supply chain and scalability issues, as this “People’s Network” could carry out a key role within the Internet of Things, 5G, and the future of open-source wireless technology. This post will follow up on some of the initial HNT topics previously touched on , in order to dig a little deeper into some of the newest HNT developments, from adoption and expansion to major players in the Helium space. here Let’s Crunch Numbers As , Helium is the fastest growing decentralized wireless network worldwide. And with roughly the same energy output as a standard LED lightbulb, offer opportunities to mine tokens at home without a huge burden on electric bills or the environment. we’ve mentioned before hotspots At the time of writing this article, there exist globally, with tens of thousands of new mining locations opening up each month. In just around three years, the token price of HNT has grown by over 20,000%. over 700,000 hotspots Of course, swings in prices of cryptocurrencies can be volatile, and all investment carries inherent risk—but I am showcasing these numbers in the hope that they might give you an idea of how exciting the journey has been for many supporters of this tech so far. Big Business Adoption Several are taking a serious look at what the People’s Network has to offer, and this recent burst of interest may clue us into even more potential down the road: companies DISH DISH is the first major wireless carrier to deploy Helium miners as part of its 5G rollout, in huge news this year for the telco industry and HNT supporters. Grayscale Leading crypto asset management company Grayscale announced in March 2022 that they would consider including HNT as a product. Lime Lime scooter company uses Helium to track where the scooters end up around a given city or area. Using this as a template, many other businesses could see how this tech might be useful for keeping their products and services connected and accounted for. Nestle The company is exploring Helium monitoring for its ReadyRefresh water cooler refill levels. Salesforce The Salesforce IoT Cloud platform uses Helium to implement sensors that allow for a more secure and cost-effective end-to-end experience. Helium tracking for mousetraps. I’m not going to go into too much detail, but you can learn more if you’re really interested. Victor® here As you can see, there are lots of applications for Helium across several industries, and this list only scratches the surface. As co-founder , Amir Haleem states “Everyday things that we use shouldn’t need cellular plans… the Helium Hotspot opens the door to an ecosystem of possibilities that allow people to connect anything from pet collars and ride-share scooters to sensors that monitor air and water quality.” Who’s Behind the Helium Network? Helium’s parent company is the unicorn venture Nova Labs, previously known as Helium Inc. The name change comes with a March 2022 rebrand after the company raised . $200M in capital When we look deeper into the Internet of Things and the possibilities it opens in the world of tech, it’s important to note that some of the biggest names in tech and investing are included in the network’s efforts. The network is part of an ecosystem that includes businesses like Cisco, Volvo and Accenture. VC firms Andreessen Horowitz, Deutsche Telekom, and Goodyear Ventures are only a few of the varied investors backing the project. In terms of who’s steering this project, it may be helpful to know that this crypto initiative is a collaboration between videogame industry exec Amir Haleem, Sproutling’s Chris Bruce, and Shawn Fanning — co-creator of Napster. Key Mining and Trading Considerations One of the greatest attributes of Helium is arguably the fact that it works off a model — one where users can buy and set up their own hotspots to earn tokens and participate in the network. proof-of-coverage Of course, there are some issues that crypto investors and enthusiasts have noted alongside the advent of Helium and its rapid growth, mainly in how difficult it can be to secure mining devices (with some wait times up to months or a year for hardware). The reason for this is due to a chip shortage. But there’s an upside: competitors in this arena are encountering the same issue, many trying to play catch-up to Helium’s network size, leaving Helium still far ahead of the curve in this regard. Since it’s not as easy to buy Helium on all major exchanges compared to many other alternative crypto tokens, people may feel they have to go to great lengths to invest — even if they have no interest in mining at home. While HNT may be bought or sold on exchanges like KuCoin or Binance, many investors who do their trading through leading apps CoinBase or Gemini may find the lack of access on their platforms of choice a significant obstacle in buying or trading the asset. Time will tell if increased adoption and interest will shift accessibility in these processes, but either way, it will be interesting to keep an eye on Helium’s future as it is showing up with a disruptive model that meets several pressing issues in tech today.
