How To Build And Deploy Real World Assets (RWA) Tokenized Real Estate DApp On Rootstock

Launch a Token on Rootstock: Leverage Bitcoin's Security with Smart Contracts

**SINGAPORE, Singapore, April 4th, 2024/Chainwire/--**LeverFi,a leading web3 innovation team, has launched OmniZK, a secure validation protocol for Bitcoin that enables developers to create complex, interoperable DeFi applications by shifting complex logic onto EVM networks and relay verified outcomes with zkOracles. The protocol's modular design allows non-custodial, decentralized contracts to be settled natively on the Bitcoin network in a secure. LeverFi is proud to announce the launch of OmniZK, a groundbreaking secure validation protocol for Bitcoin that expands the possibilities for DeFi and omnichain interactions. By allowing developers to shift complex computations onto EVM layers and relay verified event outcomes back to the Bitcoin network, OmniZK enables the creation of programmable, interoperable native applications on Bitcoin that are scalable and capable of handling complex scenarios. Enabling Bitcoin DeFi and complex logic for Bitcoin Bitcoin Script's Turing-incomplete nature has long been a barrier to the development of complex applications on the Bitcoin network, making the development of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on Bitcoin especially challenging.OmniZK solves this issue by providing a modular framework for constructing conditional, non-custodial Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs) secured by event proofs generated by zkOracles. OmniRelayers, running in a Trusted Execution Environment, are restricted to only transmitting and signing for verified event outcomes, thereby producing robust security for contract settlement within the Bitcoin network.With the OmniZK SDK, developers can easily build and deploy DLC applications that utilize verified event data from any EVM network for contract settlement finality on Bitcoin. This empowers various interchain Bitcoin use cases, including non-custodial BTC liquid staking, cross-chain Bitcoin DeFi markets, decentralized asset bridges, and omnichain liquidity management. "OmniZK is a significant step forward for Bitcoin DeFi and interoperability," said Charissa K, Head of Developer Relations at LeverFi. "By enabling secure, non-custodial contracts that settle natively on the Bitcoin network and providing an alternative to centralized bridges, we're unlocking a new era of possibilities for Bitcoin developers and users alike." Applications built using OmniZK are independent of yet complementary to Bitcoin L2s, as they interact with and communicate with L2s, but with final settlements done natively on Bitcoin, outside of the L2s. An example can be an application that issues a chain-agnostic wrapped BTC asset that can be freely minted, burned or transferred, without having the underlying BTC being custodied on a L2 multi-sig bridge.This places OmniZK at an interesting nexus of the rapidly growing Bitcoin ecosystem and offer alternatives to developers and users who wish to build and settle within the native Bitcoin layer. LEVER Staking Program and Benefits The LeverFi ecosystem, which includes the OmniZK protocol, are powered by LEVER, its ecosystem token which is easily accessible on leading global exchanges including Binance, Bybit, Bithumb, Gate and more.OmniRelayers who wish to participate in the security, functioning and governance of the OmniZK network are required to stake LEVER to join as operators to earn staking rewards and contract gas fees. There will also be a delegation program for users to stake with validators and enjoy the benefits of LEVER staking. In addition to the above, LEVER confers a wide range of benefits including gated access to its LeverPro launchpad for high potential Bitcoin DeFi projects and reduced fees on its EVM-based non-custodial swap platform. LeverFi invites developers and validators to explore the potential of OmniZK and start building the next generation of Bitcoin DeFi applications. About LeverFi Backed by world-class investors, LeverFi is a leading web3 innovation firm that continually reimagines the boundaries of decentralized finance. With its latest roadmap, LeverFi is set to break new ground and create new possibilities for Bitcoin and global web3 ecosystems.

LeverFi Launches OmniZK: A Secure Validation Protocol For Bitcoin DeFi And Omnichain Interactions

Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4, Llama-2, and Claude have carved out a significant niche, offering unprecedented capabilities in natural language processing and generation. These models, though seemingly similar, harbor distinct characteristics that influence their interaction with our language, a phenomenon rooted in the core of their design - tokenization, embeddings, and prompting. Tokenization is the process where human language is dissected into manageable pieces, called tokens, which serve as the building blocks of comprehension for these models. Each employs a unique tokenizer, translating English or any other human language into a numerical language that the model understands. This translation is not universal; it's as diverse as the human languages we speak. A word or phrase might be tokenized differently by GPT-4 than by Llama-2, leading to varied interpretations and responses. LLM Prompting, on the other hand, is an art of communication with these models. It’s akin to having a conversation where the quality of the response is heavily influenced by the nature of the question asked. Mastering the art of prompting is essential to harness the full potential of LLMs, and it’s a skill that evolves with practice and understanding. In this video, we dive deep into the world of LLMs, offering insights into their distinct behaviors and delving into the nuances of tokenization and prompting. We explore advanced techniques and tools that enhance the efficacy of these interactions, ensuring that the conversation between humans and AI is not just coherent but also rich in context and relevance. I also share a new prompting technique that is particularly useful for summarization! Lastly, I cover the importance of parameter tuning when using those LLMs (not just when training them!), such as adapting the temperature, frequency penalty, and the other parameters influencing your outputs. Why should you watch this video? Because in the realm of AI, understanding is empowerment. This is a guided journey that equips you with the knowledge to navigate the complex terrains of LLMs effectively. It’s an exploration of the subtle, yet profound differences in how models like GPT-4, Llama-2, and Claude perceive and respond to human language. Let’s demystify the intricate dance between prompts, tokenization, embeddings, the most important model parameters, and their responses, and learn to control LLM outputs better: https://youtu.be/AOeKFlSLMOA?embedable=true&transcript=true References ►Amazing Prompting resource: learnprompting.org ►Chain of Density Prompting paper from Adams et al., https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.04269.pdf ►Colab notebook of the tokenizer example: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1IVQyGmj1t9R12oajT4OMjMWzwZk3jWgm?usp=sharing ►Tokenization in Machine Learning Explained: https://vaclavkosar.com/ml/Tokenization-in-Machine-Learning-Explained ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/Whats_AI ►My Newsletter (A new AI application explained weekly to your emails!): https://www.louisbouchard.ai/newsletter/ ►Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/whatsai ►Join Our AI Discord: https://discord.gg/learnaitogether

Did you know is the secret behind countless cool applications powered by AI models like ? 😮 prompting ChatGPT Having the right prompts can yield amazing results, from language translations to merging with other AI applications and datasets! https://twitter.com/sharyph_/status/1658077824849264640?embedable=true Prompting has certain drawbacks, such as its vulnerability to hacking and injections, which can manipulate AI models or expose private data. You may already be familiar with instances where individuals successfully deceived ChatGPT, causing it to engage in activities that OpenAI had not intended. Specifically, an injected prompt resulted in ChatGPT assuming the identity of a different chatbot named " ." This version of ChatGPT, manipulated by the user, was instructed to perform tasks under the prompt "Do Anything Now," thereby compromising OpenAI's content policy and leading to the dissemination of restricted information. DAN Despite OpenAI's efforts to prevent such occurrences, a single prompt allowed these safeguards to be bypassed. Thankfully, prompt defense mechanisms are available to reduce hacking risks and ensure AI safety. Limiting the purpose of a bot (like translations only) is one basic example, but other defense techniques exist, and even emojis could play a role! 🛡️ Want to learn more about enhancing AI safety?

Where to Find a Software Engineer Mentor (and How to Benefit From Them)

Discover the ultimate tool to boost your effectiveness tenfold! The secret? Prompting, the unique language of AIs. But what is prompting? According to , the creator of learnprompting.org, it is the art of communicating with AIs, involving artificial social intelligence. Sander Schulhoff In a recent interview on the What’s AI podcast, Schulhoff shared some valuable insights on how to talk with using prompting. AI For instance, any written text, including instructions like “draw me an image of a cow” or “write an email to my boss about me calling in sick for work today,” are prompts. Even non-text content, such as images or audio voice, can be used to as prompts for AIs. But why bother learn about prompting? Well, because AIs often understand things differently than humans do, and poor prompting can lead to unwanted results. By improving your prompting skills, you can gain better control over the model's output and achieve your desired results. So how can you improve your prompting skills? Schulhoff suggests using strategies like zero-shot chain of thought, where you ask the model to think through its steps, and few-shot prompting, where you show the model examples of what you expect it to do. You can learn more about these strategies and more on the free learnprompting.org platform and in this podcast episode. As an example, if you're a non-native English speaker, you can use to rephrase your scripts, helping me produce better videos using it as an editor instead of an end-to-end writer. ChatGPT that such AIs are not yet fully equipped to handle the task and can pose high plagiarism concerns due to their training data.
