**ZUG, Switzerland, August 8th, 2024, Chainwire/-**Haven1, the REKT-Resistant EVM L1 blockchain, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) today announced a strategic partnership, with AWS working with a verified, infrastructure partner to become one of the seven initial validators of the Haven1 Proof-of-Authority blockchain. It’s a move that underscores alignment to security, innovation and the broader adoption of Web3. Haven1’s Proof-of-Authority blockchain validator network will consist of only the best, most reputable global partners as validators, playing a crucial role in maintaining the network’s integrity. This partnership with AWS, the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud solution, marks a significant milestone underscoring AWS’s alignment with Haven1. As Haven1 deploys security and auto-scaling strategies, the network aims to utilize best-in-class AWS cloud services, including AWS Graviton2 processors that are custom-built to deliver the best price performance for cloud workloads, AWS Secrets Manager, Amazon Config, Amazon GuardDuty and AWS Key Management Service (KMS), to build an EVM Layer-1 blockchain ‘safe haven’ ecosystem that is architected to satisfy stringent security requirements, enabling Haven1 to focus on innovation. “Haven1 blockchain needed a scalable and durable infrastructure to power innovation within the Web3 ecosystem,” said Gianluca Ortolani, CTO of Haven1. “We’ve engineered a ‘safe haven’ network with the least number of attack vectors in Web3. This is enhanced by AI-optimized anomaly detection, a set of network guardians, and other proprietary tech built onto the network to fortify the chain, such as transaction level two-factor authentication, and a one-of-a-kind reserve fund, secured through Bitcoin restakers. By building on AWS, we are reinforcing our mission to provide secure on-chain solutions for businesses and individuals, creating the foundation for a more trustworthy Web3 future.” Haven1’s unwavering focus on security, liquidity, and decentralized governance (where H1 token holders play a significant role) positions Haven1 as a leader in providing robust and innovative Web3 solutions, fostering a reliable environment for on-chain activities. The network utilizes a careful selection of reputable, publicly-known validators, to ensure a high level of trust within the system. About Haven1 Haven1 is the REKT-resistant EVM Layer 1 blockchain, engineered to address the critical challenges of security and liquidity in Web3. Through innovative solutions like the Haven1 Passport (POI), 2FA Wallet-Shield, AI-powered network monitoring, and a robust liquidity aggregation system, Haven1 is building a ‘SafeHaven’ ecosystem for everything onchain in Web3.

London, United Kingdom, May 13th, 2024, CyberNewsWire Logicalis, the global technology service provider delivering next-generation digital managed services, has today announced the launch of Intelligent Security, a blueprint approach to its global security portfolio designed to deliver proactive advanced security for customers worldwide. Intelligent Security has been designed by Logicalis' worldwide team of security specialists to give customers the most comprehensive observability and protection available. It is based on tracking and analysing cyber threats and knowledge of the latest prevention methods deployed across its customer base. Logicalis' tenth annual CIO report surveyed 1,000 CIOs globally and found that of the 83% of CIOs who experienced cyber-attacks in the last 12 months, only 43% feel prepared for another breach. Designed to help CIOs manage these pressures, Intelligent Security will leverage Logicalis's security capabilities as well as its relationships with global partners such as Cisco and Microsoft, where it has the highest levels of security accreditations. Logicalis CTO Toby Alock said: "Many organisations focus on one area of the security fabric; we recognise in today's cyber security landscape there are no silos; organisations must look across the entire footprint, from secure connectivity, securing the cloud, securing the hybrid worker and weaving secure operations across the entire organisation". The Intelligent Security global portfolio delivers a concise and comprehensive proposition for customers, including: ● Advisory: Providing customers with a range of advisory services dedicated to helping them understand their security needs and identify the right solutions for their business. ● Secure workplace: Securing worker communications and devices as remote working continues to impact the workplace security landscape. ● Secure connectivity: Enforcing zero trust security from edge-to-edge, ensuring networks are robust enough to enable safe IoT, 5G and edge computing. ●  Secure hybrid cloud: Safeguarding cloud environments to ensure data, applications, and IT resources are safe. ● Secure Operations: Providing 24/7/365 best practice proactive threat detection and incident response, across three global security regions, using AI and automation to identify and triage. In addition to the Intelligent Security global portfolio, the company is announcing several key investments in cyber skills and capabilities to bolster its position as a global leader in security services. Expanding the Managed Security (SOC) team in Portugal, which currently serves customers across EMEA, including the UK, Ireland and Germany
Partnering with Cisco to develop a Cyber Academy and a pipeline of qualified cybersecurity graduates into the EMEA Security team
Partnering with local universities in Portugal to develop an Intern program, which helps develop cybersecurity skills to serve the EMEA region and beyond. Logicalis continues to prove its robust security offer by achieving Microsoft-verified Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) Partner Status, launching Cisco Powered Intelligent Connectivity, built on zero-trust security, and being one of only six partners globally working with Cisco to develop an XDR proposition and enhance its Cisco security capabilities. Intelligent Security will be underpinned by Logicalis' Digital Fabric Platform, providing CIOs with deeper-level insights and recommendations to enhance the performance of their entire digital ecosystem. Toby Alock concludes, "We are at a pivotal point as security threats grow in scale and sophistication. CIOs and IT leaders are rethinking security in the era of AI and considering whether they have the in-house skills necessary to operate safely. Logicalis has seen a 300% surge in demand globally for Managed Security services in the past 12 months. Our customers are looking for a holistic, proactive approach to navigating security; we believe our simplified portfolio, our partnerships, and our investments in cyber talent for the next generation will deliver customers what they need: AI ready Managed Security with governance and SOC Protection wherever they are in the world".

Web3 Identity and Trustless Identity Verification As per S , in the utopian Web3 metaverse, we can to make our identities public or private. In the metaverse, people can be much more visible or personal than their Web2 personas because there is no centralised control, and all data is viewable on the blockchain. It provides the ability to create independently confirmed and verified identities wholly distinct from one another while still on-chain. hrey Jain et al choose To establish confidence when verified information, the blockchain-based application is developed as Trustless Identity Verification (TIDV ). A blockchain-based programme called Trustless Identity Verification (TIDV) addresses the issue of f trustless distribution of authenticated data. exchanging Trustless Identity Verification can change how DeFi and blockchain manage compliance. It can give users complete control over their online identities and enable them to connect to many integrated dApps and revoke rights as desired. On-Chain Trustless Identity Verification AllianceBlock to Introduce is introducing Trustless Identity Verification (TIDV) solution on Mainnet, with the initial integration occurring via the . AllianceBlock and GBG have teamed up to provide KYC checks for TIDV. This protects against the increasingly complex ways that crypto-crime is done and to help build trust in the digital assets industry. Know Your Customer (KYC) solutions from GBG will assist in bridging the gap between traditional and decentralized financing. AllianceBlock Fundrs platform https://twitter.com/allianceblock/status/1589674450492194817?cxt=HHwWgoDQobCf1I8sAAAA?embedable=true : Vested Interest Disclosure The author is an independent contributor publishing via our . Be it through direct compensation, media partnerships, or networking. The author has a vested interest in the company/ies mentioned in this story. HackerNoon has reviewed the report for quality, but the claims herein belong to the author. #DYOR brand-as-author program How Is It Going To Work? One group of users establishes their digital identity without losing their privacy to make this reality. The second group of users is required to review participants with confidence in the accuracy of the data and to assist prevent legal snares. By only needing the Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure to take place once when using TIDV-integrated solutions, TIDV eliminates the friction for users to engage with goods that require compliance. Users may be sure that only they and the projects, or products they are requesting access to, have access to their private information. No outside party, not even GBG or AllianceBlock, has a record of their information. Individuals and entities only need to go through the Know Your Customer (KYC) process once to acquire a verifiable identity that can be used for authentication with TIDV-integrated decentralized applications and applications. The vast majority of experts believe that DeFi regulation is on the horizon, and retail investors are acutely aware of the necessity of a compliant solution. TIDV will be integrated across AllianceBlock's end-to-end infrastructure, including the DeFi Terminal, DEX, and Data Tunnel.  The ability to undertake KYC once and apply the same verification across numerous solutions makes it easier for users to participate and engage compliantly across these different solutions. It also reduces the number of submissions users will have to make. TIDV simplifies the KYC procedure for users, as they only need to connect their cryptocurrency wallet once and verify their identification with AllianceBlock's identity verification partner GBG. After the KYC procedure is finished, the TIDV's hashed record (encrypted KYC results) will be stored and used to verify the user's identity on all integrated services. This record is only accessible by the recipient of the encrypted data. The entire platform is powered by smart contracts and no verified data is saved or exchanged but is committed to the local storage of the user's browser. Users will have complete control of their data and permissions and can withdraw access to them anytime. Users will be the only ones with access to their encrypted data. Their encrypted file can also be exported or imported, and they can save it offline. What Is GBG?

AllianceBlock is Launching On-Chain  Trustless Identity Verification

HackerNoon Reporter: Please tell us briefly about your background. I’m David A. Smith, Croquet Corporation (Croquet) founder and Chief Technology Officer, and have been working in technology for many years. I developed the original first-person shooter game called “The Colony”, which was named “Best Adventure Game of the Year” by MacWorld Magazine. I also created the visualization software behind James Cameron’s “The Abyss” and was the co-founder, with author Tom Clancy, of Red Storm Entertainment, developer of the highly successful Rainbow Six game franchise. I’ve been recognized as one of the pioneers of VR and AR and have sold 10’s of millions of multi-user games and applications. David: I’m a serial entrepreneur, having founded multiple companies including Virtus Corporation, the first real-time 3D PC design tool. I collaborated with everyone from Alan Kay (Father of the Personal Computer and Croquet advisor) and Doug Engelbart, to Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton. Previously, I was the Chairman of Gensym, the first public AI company, and also served as the Chief Innovation Officer and a Senior Fellow at Lockheed Martin. I’m John Payne, the company’s CEO. I’m a two-time public company tech CEO with significant private company startup, go-to-market, turnaround and strategic experience. I am the former CEO of two public Internet technology companies, Stamps.com, Inc. and Day Software. I was the founder of two successful banking software firms and have served as jumpstart CEO of numerous early stage companies with multiple resulting exits. I’ve raised over $700 million in public and private equity, including $250 million+ in early stage venture, and am the inventor of more than 25 patents in smartphone, cybersecurity, social search, digital mail and mobile messaging technologies. John: What's your startup called? And in a sentence or two, what does it do? is the technology leader in Edge Collaboration, a new, rapidly-growing sector of Edge Computing, and operates a global Edge Collaboration Platform and Collaboration Infrastructure that enables developers to quickly and easily create a vast range of multi-user collaboration apps for web and mobile, at virtually limitless scale. John: Croquet Corporation (Croquet) Croquet is easy, even for novice programmers, because no back-end code is needed; front-end development is all you need to know. It’s fast, simple to implement, and changes the entire multi-user app development dynamic so developers can build and deploy multi-user apps in days, not months. Croquet is delivering all of the tools and infrastructure developers need to easily build mind-blowing, real-time, fully synchronous collaborative apps that make today's multi-user apps look like anachronisms. Try out Croquet PiiX, a Real-Time, Collaborative Annotation Tool Demo. First, scan the QR code with your phone. You’ll see the below PiiX app hop onto your phone. Then, tap the “share link” icon to share the app with a friend. Anything you draw on your phone will instantly be mirrored to your friend’s phone, and vice versa. Using PiiX on a desktop computer will show each participant’s cursor. What is the origin story? Croquet has its spiritual roots in work begun in the 1990's by myself (David A. Smith), Alan Kay, David P. Reed and Andreas Raab in the Croquet Project, an open source 2D/3D environment for collaborative work written in Smalltalk. Croquet Corporation was formed in 2019 and funded by SIP Global Partners and a group of experienced technology and financial industry veterans to focus on delivering the missing protocol of the Internet for collaboration and multi-user experiences. David: What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? Our team are galactic-class engineers who came to Croquet from Y Combinator Research. We have collaborated with Alan Kay for many years, and the company has deep roots in the Internet’s evolution, going all the way back to Xerox PARC, where the $30 trillion technology industry was born. We understand the history of personal computing, and how important ideas were lost over the last 50 years, because we’ve worked closely with many of the industry pioneers. David: “I think Croquet is the best thing I’ve seen in computing over the last 15 years. It solves massive problems associated with building real-time collaborative applications in extremely elegant ways. The Internet has been needing this for many years.” - Alan Kay If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? I would probably be...building another startup. David: At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your core metrics? Success for us is about providing solutions to the problems developers face when building collaborative user experiences in web apps and games. The speed of integrating Croquet into any web app or game, no matter how complex, is very important to us, and we’re constantly looking for ways to make it easier for developers to work with our technologies. John: Long-term success 5 years from now means having 5 million developers building and deploying collaborative and multi-user applications around the world using our Edge Collaboration Infrastructure and Developer Platform. What’s most exciting about your traction to date? We’ve been very surprised to find interest from a broad spectrum of users, with applications ranging from business collaboration to medical technologies, construction, and even consumer media and marketing. John: We believe that all future applications should be collaborative – including apps for productivity, social collaboration, telemedicine, sports, interactive marketing, AR/VR, SaaS, gaming, you name it. David: We expect that developers will find amazing ways to use this technology that we haven't even imagined yet. What technologies are you currently most excited about, and most worried about? And why? We’re particularly excited about Edge computing and 5G. With our technology, applications generate events which are sent to an Edge Reflector, the architectural center of the Croquet infrastructure, which then redistributes them to each session participant's replicated virtual machine, providing precise synchronization with exceedingly low latency. Reflectors are small pieces of software that sit on the Edge and are spun up or down as needed anywhere in the world to support high performance sessions. Croquet Infrastructure is highly scalable with reflectors running around the globe, all designed to work with existing online and mobile networks, including 5G. David: Also, simple things, like the explosion of QR code use in the post-pandemic years excites us. What drew you to get published on HackerNoon? What do you like most about our platform? We see HackerNoon as a place where young hackers gather to learn about the latest developments in the industry. HackerNoon is a great platform for helping developers understand the power of what we have built, in their worlds. David: HackerNoon attracts lots of new developers who are looking for simple tools to build their ideas, and Croquet is fast and easy to implement. All the "smarts" of the application are on the client side, and we abstract the developer from the powerful underlying infrastructure; it just works. Croquet changes the entire multi-user app development dynamic, so developers can build and deploy multi-user apps in days, not months, which is the kind of ease that new developers everywhere are looking for. What advice would you give to the 21-year-old version of yourself? Take more risks! David: What is something surprising you've learned this year that your contemporaries would benefit from knowing? The market for collaboration technology as a whole is massive. COVID-19 has accelerated demand by 10 years, but so far the technology has lagged. Croquet changes the conversation, enabling a huge leap forward in developing Instantaneous Shared Experiences. John: Vote for Croquet for Startups of the Year, Los Angeles

Startup Interview with David A. Smith, Founder & CTO, and John Payne, CEO of Croquet

2020 threw many of us for a loop. Successful organizations tend to be well-practiced in riding out fluctuations within the market and their industries, but there’s now a novel, increasing pressure to stay competitive within the COVID landscape. Based on my experience serving in senior operating roles and speaking with many business leaders, I anticipate that some COVID-driven changes will likely outlast the pandemic. These trends are not independent of one another, and organizations are challenged to pivot in new ways. I'll share my findings on what trends I anticipate shaping the IT industry in 2021 and how to manage these changes. 1 – Privacy-First Data Sharing Data analytics is one of the most impactful trends across industries and many organizations aren't paying enough attention to data privacy. Equipping your business with secure and processing is essential for alleviating your customers’ most critical privacy concerns. data analytics What to adopt – to satisfy essential criteria in terms of the proportionality and security principles detailed in data protection laws. Data encryption – to limit data disclosure risks. Data obfuscation – to replace personal data with pseudonyms during the data processing stage. Data tokenization By capitalizing on the privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) that embody fundamental data protection principles, you’ll be minimizing personal data usage, maximizing security, and hopefully avoiding the significant fines that can result from data breaches. 2 – Internet of Behavior A year ago, an emerging concept coined as the “Internet of Behavior” (IoB). It extends from the IoT concept that gathers data from interconnected devices. Your smartphone, laptop, voice assistant, car camera, and fitness band produce the “digital dust” – a specific set of data that companies are using not just for targeted advertising, but also to measure and assess marketing campaigns and personalized content. Gartner predicted Top data sources for the IoB: Laptop In-home voice assistant House camera Smartphone Fitness band Smart home devices Beyond powerful insight-generating mechanisms, the IoB presents pervasive ethical concerns in terms of policing and sharing of personal data. As the IoB grows and more detailed data becomes available, scamming will become even more lucrative and will, in turn, be on the rise. How To Manage: Consider local data privacy laws Offer a mutual benefit for customers and data collectors Select a proper tool for analyzing the IoB data Not sure where to start? Schedule time with me here for an exploratory chat to see if we might be able to help. 3 – Distributed Teams I firmly believe in the power of in-person collaboration as well as remote-friendly delivery techniques. In the end, it's not about where, but how the job is done. I see location independence or an “anywhere operations” model as a great opportunity, despite its challenges. Three pillars of efficient remote operations 1. Secure access Multi-factor authentication ata governance policy 2. Collaboration excellence Meeting & workstream solutions Brainstorming hubs in place of conference tables Digital whiteboarding 3. Data-first approach Workplace analytics Eliminating  time spent in meetings The most successful work-from-anywhere approach requires reshaping the components of digital collaboration - from infrastructure and management to policies and security practices. While the pandemic has hastened a rise in remote working, it’s also introduced some new challenges, one being in-time communication across time zones. At Newfire Global Partners , we've tackled that by incorporating geographically distributed teams that enable  24/7 operations. 4 – Industrial Automation Growth Ubiquitous automation is nothing new. Organizations are using it to drive operational efficiency and improve business processes. From my perspective, what’s changing with automation is its ability to adapt and evolve. As manufacturing and supply chains return to full operation, workforce shortages will create future challenges. Along with AI and robotics adoption, industrial automation will become a promising alternative to operating manufacturing. Gartner 'hyper-automation' as the process of adopting practices to automate as many processes as possible. AI-backed hyper-automation will unburden organizations from complex management issues allowing them to orchestrate autonomous operations. Everything that can be automated probably should be automated, in my opinion. defines AI/ML 5 – Worldwide Digital Health Adoption In my earlier days working in healthcare, the industry was known for being slower to adapt and innovate. The pandemic has changed that and the digital transformation currently happening within healthcare has become less of a choice and more of a critical necessity. "Digital transformation of health care can be disruptive; however, technologies such as the Internet of Things, virtual care, remote monitoring, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, blockchain, smart wearables, platforms, tools enabling data exchange and storage and tools enabling remote data capture and the exchange of data and sharing of relevant information across the health ecosystem creating a continuum of care have proven potential to enhance health outcomes by improving medical diagnosis, data-based treatment decisions, digital therapeutics, clinical trials, self-management of care and person-centered care as well as creating more evidence-based knowledge, skills and competence for professionals to support health care." – from WHO's “Global Strategy on Digital Health 2020–2025 Report” Based on the predictions for what to expect regarding digital health adoption, we can likely anticipate more IoT systems, algorithms, and big data processing techniques. As digital health continues to embed itself into every facet of the industry, the demand for innovation will evolve rapidly. WHO’s machine learning This quote from the WHO’s global strategy report sums things up well: “The vision of the global strategy is to improve health for everyone, everywhere by accelerating the development and adoption of appropriate, affordable, scalable, and sustainable digital health solutions.” Wrap-Up The unusual socio-economic challenges of 2020 demand the organizational plasticity needed to navigate this upcoming year. Those who are prepared to pivot and adapt in such a fast-paced environment will weather the crisis. Understanding that all of these challenges are interconnected and interdependent, is the most essential element of business strategy for 2021. Even during these uncertain times, our company has continued to grow as have many of our partners. Innovation and resilience can prevail during times of change, disruption and even crisis. Does our vision and approach align with your 2021 strategy? Contact us below to explore how we can help you stay ahead of the curve and achieve your 2021 goals.

5 Most Important Directions In Which Tech Industry Develops In 2021

Fiorenzo Manganiello and Nessim Sariel-Gaon are two young men on a mission. A mission to prove to the world that investing in tomorrow’s technologies today is a young person’s game and that the “Millennial Way” of venture capitalism is the way of the future. Given that there are so many first-time investors and entrepreneurs today who are millennials themselves, (whose oldest member on the payroll is Manganiello, at 29) prides itself in not only knowing its market but acting on that knowledge and executing some of the sector’s most notable trades. LIAN Group And LIAN Group is not just a concept; the firm has built a superb reputation in a short amount of time with notable investments in AgriTech with the company Indigo, digital pharmacy’s Alto, and the blockchain digital wallet Curv. Mr. Manganiello and Gaon, thank you for taking your time to answer some questions and share your knowledge with us. We’re hoping to “steal” some tips from you and LIAN Group where you have already proven your success with recent investments. To get started, can you tell us a bit about your background and how you got into disruptive technologies and came to understand the blockchain? Fiorenzo Manganiello: “I guess I built up my name as a professor of blockchain at the Geneva Business School, yet despite being coined as one of Europe’s prominent experts in blockchain, it is not a title that sits well with me. I am more comfortable with terms such as banker, financier, or venture capitalist, as this is more relevant to the work I do every day.” Nessim Sariel-Gaon: “I co-founded LIAN Group with Fiorenzo in 2017 armed with Masters’ degrees from HEC Paris and UC Berkeley as well as experience with Goldman Sachs in London. We launched LIAN Group intending to create a private equity firm focused on investing in disruptive technologies. In under four years, LIAN has deployed nearly $300 million into tech companies globally. It’s safe to say that those aims have already been realized by our team.” You’ve seen the blockchain space being developed right in front of your eyes and you have a broader perspective on this. How do you see an entrepreneur building a decentralized product today? Is it riskier or more difficult than building a traditional startup, especially during a global pandemic? FM: “To be completely honest, we see business as a journey full of discovery - like when you’re on a treasure hunt. The idea is that while business plans and forecasts are useful – as we have seen in this pandemic – sometimes it is difficult to plan. The millennial culture can adapt to this better, we were born in a rich media environment, playing games such as Pokémon’s and with that, a discovery mindset. Conversely, our journey in 2020 and the beginning of 2021 has expanded and become even richer. During the pandemic, we discovered many treasures and opportunities. These recent treasures include two recently announced joint blockchain investment ventures with Bitfury to expand two data centers–  one in and the other in – for $35 million and $12 million, respectively.” Norway Canada There is so much more beyond Bitcoin. There is DeFi (decentralized finance), which is shaping up the future of finance. Do you see DeFi overtaking traditional finance? Do you see this transition as a rapid one or a slow process where the two worlds will coexist? NGS: “Some countries are starting to consider DeFi adoption, but it is not an easy process especially with regulation and how DeFi can work with real tangible assets in order to reduce volatility, which we see daily in coins such as Bitcoin.  DeFi can live in harmony with traditional currencies, but it will take some time.” Do you see blockchain as a niche technology? Are the ones getting in today pioneers or are we already past that? NSG: “There will be a number of failures over the next few years, yet there will be some very niche solutions which will achieve mass adoption. This is the Google effect and we will soon forget the failures.  Simply creating yet another coin or token without a solid business model will almost certainly lead to failure. However, there are some models based on blockchain which will undoubtedly be the leaders of the future.” Our readers can already tell they’re in the right place. There’s so much valuable information here. Thank you so much for your insights! Now I think it’s time to reveal where they can join you and other technology enthusiasts, and how LIAN Group fits into all this. LIAN Group is a private equity firm that successfully managed to bridge the gap between investors and entrepreneurs, but what more can you tell us? FM: “Founded in 2017, we now have offices in Geneva, Milan, Dubai, and London in addition to our headquarters in Luxembourg. LIAN Group is set on transforming the culture and face of VC investments by seamlessly bridging the gap between investors and entrepreneurs by implementing an innovative private equity investment model that aligns interests between all stakeholders.” NSG: “Our in-depth expertise in the technology fields of finance, agriculture, logistics, pharmaceuticals, and blockchain in addition to the commercial and residential real estate, hospitality, leisure, and travel sectors has allowed us to identify, value, and provide opportunities in several niche sectors.” Indeed, the pair has been recognised by both their peers and some of the biggest names in the sector, which has led to being shortlisted and nominated for Forbes 30 under 30 in Europe this year. Antoine Dresch, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of Korelya Capital, had said about them: “The courage, audacity and willingness to invest in those businesses of the future I am sure will prove (that LIAN) were visionary in their investment decisions. (LIAN) represent a new breed of young investors more sophisticated and innovative into their investment thinking.” What has been your secret to success that has made LIAN Group not only resilient and robust during the global pandemic but positively thrive? NSG: “Our company has a high level of creativity, innovation, and curiosity. For example, we run a monthly innovation meeting where everyone should bring to the table their craziest idea. Last month we had one about a chatbot that allows us to automatically screen and evaluate companies. We are positive risk-takers, yet we learn by taking controlled risks. This might not be a quality, but I really believe that what we have achieved so far is partly due to our willingness to try, even if it looks impossible. We are also extremely flexible with no investment constraints, and this quality allows us to invest broadly and without limitation.” What are the challenges that lie ahead in a post-pandemic world? NSG: “We would probably say that continuing to build trust and engage in relationships and communication with our investors will be a key factor in a post-Covid world. Investor experience and engagement pre- and post-investment for us is a crucial business factor.” How will you do it? FM: “For this, we are building a new digital infrastructure that would allow us to keep track and update investors in real-time while monitoring their portfolio companies.” NSG: “LIAN has not been overly reliant on travel and face-to-face contact, so the remote working model was already in play prior to 2020. Remote work for us is something we are used to. In fact, some of our team members in Milan were already working full-time from their homes before the pandemic. Face-to-face interactions are more important for incubators and early-stage investors, as companies are building teams and need to scale up so they might need a higher level of emotional connection. But for us, while face-to-face interactions are fundamental, we have also been used to close transactions via digital methods and without physically meeting our counterparties. The VCs that are not able to execute transactions remotely will lose plenty of opportunities.” It sounds like quite a ride! You are definitely enjoying it, as you stated in a previous interview: "A successful business must be all connecting, it has to be enjoyable, and it has to be diverse. Then you can best utilize your innovative instincts." Your past experience is interesting, but the world is changing rapidly. Where should one start today as an entrepreneur with the ambition of building a decentralized future? FM: “I can only speak for us in that the LIAN Group has demonstrated that by being young, agile and innovative, we can create opportunities to invest in attractive disruptive technologies like never before.  Marrying our innovation, strong convictions, and fearless attitude toward our projects and being able to back those up to our investors in a very structured, logical manner have made LIAN Group the VC company model of the future.” NSG: “We try to make investments feel very natural. We breathe technology and we never stop hunting for projects to back or partners to do business with.”

The Millennial Way of Investing in Blockchain and Other Emerging Technologies

Globalization and liberalization in the 1990s changed the divided global economy into what was to become a single market, thus, making our global economy a hustling global village with free movement of capital, freedom of establishment and freedom of services. Similarly, Blockchain and cryptocurrencies bring a revolution to democratize the global economy as DeFi carves the path for it. Why does the world need DeFi? Finance has always been that focal point of the society that can drive the prosperity of all by enabling great ideas to become a reality. But during the entire history of humanity, the power in finance has been mostly centralized leaving most people out of decision-making systems with little to no control of their own money. Today, we need tools that will enable each individual to take control of their assets and make decisions regarding them. Decentralized Finance with its core protocols of interoperability, programmability and composability will not only make finance more personal and accessible but will also enable people from across the globe to collaborate and come up with new ways of creating value. Bithumb Global recognizes this power of DeFi ecosystem to bring the services of investing, borrowing, lending and trading on decentralized and non-custodial infrastructure to make finance more inclusive and democratic. How Bithumb Global is Supporting the Development of DeFi industry? At Bithumb Global we are fully supporting and contributing to the rapid growth of decentralized finance space, the improvement of its protocols, and the breadth of offered services. We strive to work towards creating opportunities to provide users with the options lacking in the existing centralized financial system. We support the launch of a variety of DeFi projects, derivatives (Smart Token and margin trading). Bithumb global also regularly stakes interest in debut project announcements, user airdrops (BG Learning), among others. We also vigorously mediate the project publicity and community operation services such as the well-known DeFi projects COMP, CREAM, UNI, BAL, CRV, Burger and the first projects Mantra DAO, Hedget, RioFuel, UniLendFinance. Bithumb Global is also the first Crypto Exchange to strongly support Binance Smart Chain and its ecological projects, thus allowing more users around the world to experience the DeFi ecosystem. What is Binance Smart Chain and Why is it Crucial for DeFi? Recently Binance launched live on the main net, activating the parallel blockchain to Binance Chain that will enable the creation of smart contracts and the staking mechanism for BNB. Binance Smart Chain Binance Smart Chain (BSC) has been created to run parallel to Binance Chain with features that enable the creation of smart contracts for tokens on the Binance-branded blockchain. It also introduces an all-new Proof of Stake Authority consensus mechanism, which adds a staking functionality for BNB, the native token of the Binance ecosystem. The highlighting achievement of BSC is that it has been launched in time for the DeFi (decentralized finance) revolution, as the public interest in alternative financial solutions powered by blockchain has been growing. The Binance Smart Chain is here to help DeFi projects and the bigger blockchain community to leverage the best that Binance Chain has to offer like token issuance and transfer, BNB staking, and dApp creation and usage. It is fortified by smart contract support, cross-chain interoperability, along with other advantages of BSC. Few Benefits Binance Smart Chain offer its Users: A rich and growing digital asset ecosystem powered by Binance DEX, the leading decentralized exchange Cheap transaction fees that reach as low as 1 cent High performance with a network capable of producing a block every 3 seconds Cross-chain DeFi mechanisms that increase DeFi interoperability A supportive Binance ecosystem that funds and bootstraps many DeFi projects A growing ecosystem of millions of users across Binance.com and Binance DEX A network of major crypto projects already collaborating with BSC Bithumb Global Supports Binance in Bridging the Gap Between DeFi and CeFi Along with enhancing the capabilities of BSC, Binance has also established a $100 million USD seed fund to empower emerging projects and drive collaboration between centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). The fund is aimed at promoting DeFi projects and provide liquidity support for those selected beneficiary DeFi projects that pass security audits and the due diligence process. These selected projects will also enjoy various other support from Binance ecosystem like access to millions of customers, media information in the ecosystem, knowledge education, incubation financing, derivatives, financial management, and other comprehensive resources and financial support. At Bithumb Global we are committed to building products and services that give people more freedom and control over their finances. Therefore, Bithumb Global and various other global partners have joined hands to promote this development of the DeFi ecosystem.

For DeFi To Continue Marching, We Need To Build Bridges, NOT Burn Them

Wise, the leading embedded banking FinTech, that offers business banking via partnerships, announced today that it has closed a $12M Series A. This funding round was led by e.ventures, with participation from Grishin Robotics, and with continued investment from seed investors – Base10 Partners and Tech Stars. Six months after a $5.7M seed round, Wise raised the Series A funding to accelerate growth and partnerships across several verticals and to extend its breakthrough technology to support a fully-managed, first-of-its-kind embedded banking experience. Wise has raised $18M to date. "We built banking so our partners don't have to," said Arjun Thyagarajan, Co-Founder and CEO at Wise. "By embedding banking, Wise unlocks deep product offerings and better customer experiences for our partners. e.ventures built a thesis on exactly this, and we agree 100%." "Business banking has been broken for far too long. Poor user interfaces, payments delays, unnecessary fees, a lack of integrations, the list goes on and on," said Brendan Wales, Partner at e.ventures. "The team at Wise is bringing an Apple-like experience to the world of business banking with an embedded product that brings banking to where one’s business is managed." In addition to this round, Wise has also signed several new partnerships, where leading B2B companies are able to seamlessly offer banking, within their product experience, greatly expanding the value to their business customers. "In a world where more people are working remotely than ever before, it is important for RemoteTeam to provide its customers with a modern, instant payroll experience. Embedding banking solves a major pain point that makes RemoteTeam a standout offering in the payroll industry," says Sahin Boydas, CEO at RemoteTeam and a Wise partner. "Embedded experiences drive product engagement through the roof! It is a win-win-win proposition for everyone involved – Wise, its partner, and the small business that lives inside the partner ecosystem," said Raghav Lal, President at Wise. Prior to joining Wise, Lal launched several successful co-branded partnerships at AMEX and VISA. Before Wise, launching a banking offering could take months or in some cases, years. Now, SaaS B2B companies launch banking powered by Wise, with no-code and in just a few days – with the entire program managed and serviced by Wise. "We’re thrilled by Wise’s continued progress developing strategic partnerships with large SaaS partners," added Rexhi Dollaku, Principal at Base10 Partners. "This funding will accelerate Wise’s product and go-to-market efforts, so that they can continue to redefine the business banking experience for many more real economy businesses."
