After a 3-month interval following the Pre-Series A funding, Lumoz receives another good news! On May 29th, Lumoz, the modular compute layer and ZK-RaaS platform, officially announced the completion of a new strategic funding round. Participating investors include IDG Blockchain, Blockchain Coinvestors, Gate Ventures, Summer Capital, EVG, SevenUpDAO, Sweep Ventures, among others. The specific amount of funding has not been disclosed. Prior to this, in March 2024, Lumoz raised a Pre-Series A funding round with a valuation of $120 million. Participating institutions included Hashkey Capital, OKX Venture, Kucoin Ventures, Polygon, Comma3, Waterdrip, YBB, Kernel Ventures, D11-Labs, MH Ventures, Kronos Research and Fermion Capital. The Lumoz team revealed that the new funds will be used to further expand the Lumoz team, develop the modular computing power layer, and advance the construction and technological innovation of the ZK-RaaS platform. "After the announcement of the previous funding round, many venture capitalists eagerly approached Lumoz, prompting us to initiate another strategic funding round within a short timeframe. In this round, we have once again attracted a group of exceptional investors and partners who have full confidence in Lumoz's vision, products, and team. They are enthusiastic about providing multi-faceted support, including funding, expertise, and resources, which will undoubtedly have a positive impact on Lumoz's future," Lumoz CEO & Co-founder Nanfeng said. Over the past six months, Lumoz has entered a new phase of development. The successful launch of the ETH Layer 2 network, ZKFair, and the BTC Layer 2 network, Merlin Chain, has made Lumoz's "one-click chain deployment" a focal point of market attention. Currently, Lumoz is receiving an increasing number of customer demands, and it is anticipated that dozens of ZK-Rollups will be generated through Lumoz's RaaS platform and supported by its underlying computing power in the latter half of this year. For a ZK-Rollup, the computational cost of ZKP far exceeds that of data availability (DA), even accounting for more than 50% of the total cost. Therefore, the computational gap in this area and the immense market potential are significant. In response, Lumoz has taken the lead in introducing the Modular Compute Layer, which effectively utilizes idle computing power in the market to provide modularized computing support for ZK-Rollups. In terms of implementation, Lumoz's unique ZK-PoW algorithm efficiently combines miners' computational resources with various Rollups, enabling the provision of distributed computing power for various ZK-Rollups and the generation of ZKPs. At the same time, Lumoz continues to make continuous improvements in ZKP computation and submission. Recently, Lumoz introduced support for Op Stack + ZK Fraud Proof, pioneering a new mode for L2 architecture. Following this, they launched zkProver and zkVerifier based on EigenLayer, significantly enhancing computational and verification efficiency. These advancements ensure the security and profitability of the entire process. The latest roadmap reveals that Lumoz will soon release a new AI + PoW Chain, multiple ETH Layer 2 chains, Layer 3 chains, and BTC Layer 2 chains. Additionally, Lumoz will open the decentralized node registration globally to ensure network security after the Mainnet launch. Stay tuned for more updates!

In this session of our "Behind the Startup" series, we sit down with Zad, the visionary founder of OpenCred, to explore the revolutionary concept of tokenizing trust in the Web3 environment. As a Stanford-certified expert in blockchain and cryptography, Zad discusses the inception of OpenCred, its unique approach to digital identity through eSFT tokens, and its ambitious mission to reshape social and economic interactions online. Ishan Pandey: Hi Zad, great to have you here for our "Innovators in Web3" series. Can you tell us about your background and what led you to create OpenCred? Zad: As a postgraduate in Blockchain Strategy and Stanford-certified cryptography expert, I have spent years conducting cutting-edge research in asset tokenization, DID, and cybersecurity. Trust is actually one of the most difficult things to measure and quantify, no matter “IRL” or online. Now with blockchain and tokens we finally have the tools to tackle this problem in a novel way. I founded OpenCred to bring tokenized trust to the Web3 industry, unleash the hidden potential that lies in social relationships, and eventually enable the establishment of a decentralized society. Ishan Pandey: Could you start by explaining what OpenCred is and what specific gap in the Web3 space it aims to fill? Zad: OpenCred is a decentralized Web3 credit protocol that applies a new token standard called “eSFT” to tokenize trust relationships into tangible and quantifiable economic assets. Our vision is to empower users to monetize their online activity while guaranteeing data privacy and ownership. By providing a blockchain-based solution for establishing and measuring trust relationships, OpenCred fills a crucial gap in the Web3 ecosystem: enabling trustworthy interactions and collaboration without relying on centralized intermediaries or KYC. Ishan Pandey: In the deck, you mention that OpenCred introduces a groundbreaking trust value (credit) quantification for Web3. Can you elaborate on how this works and why it's important? Zad: OpenCred aggregates both on-chain (e.g., DeFi TVL, smart contract interactions) and off-chain data (e.g., social media followers and interactions) to tokenize trust in the form of CRED tokens. This means users can increase their personal trust value by increasing their online activity and footprint. Each CRED is unique to the user and contains a number of fungible Score Tokens (ST) that determine the value of a user’s CRED. By thus providing a measurable and objective way to assess trustworthiness, OpenCred enables secure, traceable, and efficient trust-based interactions in various Web3 applications, such as social media, e-commerce, DeFi, and gaming. This groundbreaking mechanism is crucial for fostering a trustworthy environment in the digital space and enabling countless new use cases in many areas from B2B to B2C to C2B to C2C. Ishan Pandey: The CRED token seems to be a key component of the OpenCred ecosystem. Can you explain its dual nature as a semi-fungible token and how it represents both identity and trustworthiness? And how does this design benefit users of your platform? Zad: CRED tokens are a groundbreaking innovation of OpenCred, creating a new token standard we call embedded semi-fungible token (eSFT) that combines both non-fungible (unique) and fungible (interchangeable) properties. The non-fungible part of the token represents a user's unique identity within the OpenCred protocol, ensuring that each user has a distinct and verifiable presence. On the other hand, the fungible part of the token quantifies the user's trustworthiness, which is determined by their interactions (on-chain & off-chain) and the amount of CRED tokens they receive from others. This design benefits users by empowering them to monetize their online activity and social relationships. Moreover, by tokenizing trust and making it quantifiable and tangible, we are creating a new kind of asset that simply has not existed before, thereby creating huge value. Ishan Pandey: How does sending CRED between users facilitate the building of a trustable and quantifiable social graph in Web3? Zad: When a user sends CRED tokens to another user, they are essentially establishing a trust relationship that is recorded on the blockchain. This transaction signifies that the sender trusts the recipient to a certain degree, based on their interactions, reputation, or other factors. As users continue to interact and send CRED tokens to each other, a dynamic, evolving on-chain social graph emerges. The social graph is quantifiable and traceable. This quantification of trust enables users to make informed decisions when interacting with others, as they can assess the trustworthiness of potential collaborators, partners, or service providers based on their position in the social graph. Ishan Pandey: With OpenCred positioning itself as a provider of "Trust as a Service," how do you ensure the reliability and security of the trust metrics generated by your protocol? Zad: There is a clear friction between incentivizing users on the one hand and ensuring the authenticity of trust relationships on the other hand. We are aware of this and will tackle this problem in multiple ways. First of all, we will connect the sending of CRED with some actions such as “follow”, “like”, etc., so that the transfer of CRED corresponds with the establishment of a meaningful trust relationship. Secondly, we will implement punishments for sybil attackers and other malicious behavior. Additionally, OpenCred implements a multi-layered governance model that involves community participation and decentralized decision-making. This approach helps to maintain the integrity and fairness of the trust metrics, as the community can collectively monitor and flag any suspicious activities or attempts to manipulate trust scores. To further enhance the reliability of trust metrics, OpenCred incorporates a reputation staking mechanism, where users are required to stake a portion of our governance tokens to participate in trust-building activities. OpenCred places a strong emphasis on user education and awareness. By providing clear guidelines, tutorials, and best practices for using the trust protocol. Ishan Pandey: How do you plan to drive adoption and grow the OpenCred ecosystem, particularly in terms of attracting both users and developers? Zad: OpenCred actively seeks partnerships and collaborations with established Web3 projects across various sectors, such as social media, e-commerce, gaming, and decentralized finance (DeFi). We currently have established partnerships with over 10 Web3 projects with close to 1 million daily active users ready to onboard our protocol once it is live. To attract developers, OpenCred will provide a range of tools, SDKs, and documentation to facilitate the integration of its trust protocol into various applications. The protocol will offer developer grants, hackathons, and bounty programs to incentivize the creation of innovative trust-based solutions. By fostering a vibrant developer community and providing the necessary resources and support, OpenCred aims to accelerate the development of a diverse range of dApps that leverage its trust infrastructure. OpenCred's tokenomics model is designed to incentivize user participation and ecosystem growth. The governance token serves as the primary means of interaction within the OpenCred ecosystem, used for establishing trust relationships, staking, and accessing trust-based services. The protocol will implement a reward system that incentivizes users to actively participate in trust-building activities, such as providing accurate trust assessments, staking tokens, and contributing to the network's security. These incentives will drive user adoption and encourage long-term engagement with the OpenCred ecosystem. Don’t forget to like and share the story!

What are we talking about here? As part of my job, I advise a lot of customers who use AWS. Many of them build complex systems on top of services. AWS OpenSearch is typically included in the system landscape to cover a wide range of different business cases, some of which require an Internet-accessible cluster with HTTP basic authentication. AWS does not give this capability out of the box; thus, in this article, I will demonstrate how to leverage AWS native services to publish your OpenSearch cluster to the Internet. AWS The current limitations OpenSearch cluster can be deployed in two modes with the following features VPC based Public domain Only private endpoint in the following format https://vpc-domain-name Public endpoint in the following format https://search-domain-name Cluster health tab does not include shard information, and the Indices tab isn't present. All information about cluster health and indexes are available Security is based on AWS security groups Security is based on IP-based access policies Dashboards are available only from VPC and requires VPN or something else for being accessible Dashboards are available publicly for IP range that’s configured via IP-based access policies AWS currently does not provide any out-of-the-box way for publishing an OpenSearch cluster with basic HTTP authentication to the Internet for any IP range (e.g.: ). It is possible to configure an AWS IAM Policy to allow a certain IP range or to utilize a publicly open cluster with SAML authorization; however, this is not suitable for cases such as mobile clients or TV set-top boxes, where the client can have any unpredictable IP address and dev team does not have the capacity for SAML implementation. 0.0.0.0/0 Maybe in the future, there will be something like an RDS proxy, but so far, AWS has no public plans for this feature. Solutions The official AWS proposal based on Nginx The AWS documentation recommends using a reverse proxy based on a highly available EC2 Nginx cluster. It's a good approach, but it requires a lot of extra effort for Nginx maintenance, which would be inconvenient in the case of a large number of clusters. In addition, as AWS does not provide highly available Nginx as a service, you will be unable to configure your infrastructure using a single tool such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation. OpenSearch The solution based on AWS native services My approach, which I recommend for use in production environments, is based on AWS Application load balancer (ALB). Nginx can be skipped because ALB provides the same functionality as Nginx for all basic scenarios and requires no additional configuration or automation work. AWS ALB points to an IP address target group that contains a set of private OpenSearch IP addresses, and the OpenSearch cluster should be configured in VPC mode. It is also important to configure HTTP redirects at the ALB level in this configuration, as seen in the image below. ALB targets should also require the configuration of health checks because without them, OpenSearch IP addresses will be removed from IP pools. Keep in mind that the http code must be added to the list of successful health check codes when you are using basic HTTP authentication. 401 Configuring the ALB target group once is insufficient. Any OpenSearch cluster change can cause the IP address to change, so to ensure that the target groups contain all OpenSearch IPs at all times, the IP addresses pool should be maintained by a simple Lambda function that runs once per hour and verifies that all OpenSearch IPs are present and actual. The complete AWS function code is provided below. import boto3
import socket

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    # Initialize AWS clients
    elasticsearch = boto3.client('es')
    elbv2 = boto3.client('elbv2')

    # Retrieve target group ARN and OpenSearch domain name from event
    target_group_arn = event.get('targetGroupARN')
    open_search_domain_name = event.get('openSearchDomainName')

    # Describe OpenSearch cluster to retrieve DNS endpoint
    response = elasticsearch.describe_elasticsearch_domain(DomainName=open_search_domain_name)
    opensearch_dns = response['DomainStatus']['Endpoints']['vpc']

    # Resolve DNS to get IP addresses
    opensearch_ips = socket.gethostbyname_ex(opensearch_dns)[2]
    print(f"OpenSearch IPs are: {opensearch_ips}")

    # Describe existing IPs in the EC2 target group
    target_group_info = elbv2.describe_target_health(TargetGroupArn=target_group_arn)
    existing_ips = [target['Target']['Id'] for target in target_group_info['TargetHealthDescriptions']]

    # Compare IPs to determine new ones and remove old ones
    ips_to_add = list(set(opensearch_ips) - set(existing_ips))
    ips_to_remove = list(set(existing_ips) - set(opensearch_ips))

    # Update the target group
    if ips_to_add:
        elbv2.register_targets(TargetGroupArn=target_group_arn, Targets=[{'Id': ip} for ip in ips_to_add])
    if ips_to_remove:
        elbv2.deregister_targets(TargetGroupArn=target_group_arn, Targets=[{'Id': ip} for ip in ips_to_remove])

    return {
        'statusCode': 200,
        'body': 'Updated EC2 target group with OpenSearch IPs.'
    } The lambda function can be deployed in VPC mode. It’s more secure but not mandatory. In the beginning, you may provide only permissions for your Lambda’s IAM role, as shown in the code snippet below. es:* {
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": [
          "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/test-user"
        ]
      },
      "Action": [
        "es:*"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:aws:es:us-west-1:987654321098:domain/test-domain/*"
    }
  ]
} For a variety of reasons, connecting to an OpenSearch cluster with a floating IP address is inconvenient. All modern architectures use DNS to hide a pure IP address. We'll do the same via AWS Route53. Unfortunately, the Route53 DNS record is insufficient because ALB would display problems linked to HTTP certificate mismatches. We must generate a valid TLS certificate and attach it to an ALB listener to avoid HTTPS connection issues while using DNS. can be used to issue a purchased certificate, but I prefer free Let's Encrypt certificates. AWS does not natively support Let's Encrypt and Certificate Manager integration, so I created an AWS Lambda that automatically issues and renews TLS certificates a long time ago and proposes using it in the suggested design. This Lambda's sources may be found at AWS Certificate Manager https://github.com/kvendingoldo/aws-letsencrypt-lambda. Security highlights Security is not covered in this article, but I can not highlight two critical points: Don't forget to configure your AWS security groups correctly; you only need to allow the required port (443 in our example). Use AWS Trust Advisor to ensure that all useless ports are blocked. It would be a good idea to have different users with different types of rights when using OpenSearch HTTP basic authentication. Do not use an admin user with full cluster access. It would be preferable to have multiple users, each with access to a subset of OpenSearch indexes. You can keep all password information in AWS Secret Manager for simplified password management. Summary It is possible to avoid using a High Availability Nginx cluster in your architecture. It will save you money and configuration time. Instead of using tools like Terraform or Pulumi, use the lambda function to keep your ALB's target group up to date. It is critical to check the target pool's validity on a regular basis. Don't forget about security when it comes to implementation. Take note of AWS subnets, security groups, and OpenSearch users. Use as many AWS native components as possible. All of them can be configured using IaC tools like Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation. Although EC2 instances can be configured using IaC tools, the provisioning, configuration, and launch times are substantially longer than with pure AWS ALB.

How to Make AWS OpenSearch Publicly Accessible Without nginx Proxy

Greetings Comrades! One of the strangest logging setups I ever had - AWS ALB controller logs. Really, look at the scheme: 1. S3 Bucket for ALB Logs I assume that you already have an ALB Controller in your EKS Cluster. So, we should create an S3 bucket and enable the SQS trigger with Terraform: ###
# ALB Controller Logs S3 Bucket
###

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "alb_logs" {
  bucket = "alb-logs"
}

resource "aws_s3_bucket_lifecycle_configuration" "alb_logs" {
  bucket = aws_s3_bucket.alb_logs.id

  rule {
    id = "log"

    expiration {
      days = 3
    }

    status = "Enabled"
  }
}

resource "aws_s3_bucket_policy" "alb_logs" {
  bucket = aws_s3_bucket.alb_logs.id
  policy = data.aws_iam_policy_document.alb_logs_bucket_policy.json
}

data "aws_iam_policy_document" "alb_logs_bucket_policy" {
  statement {

Craig Wright's Bitcoin White Paper Document Questioned for Forgery

COPA v. Wright, Court Filing, retrieved on January 29, 2024, is part of HackerNoon’s Legal PDF Series. You can jump to any part of this filing here. This part is 30 of 42. 28. Economics of BitCoin Nodes (Reliance Document) {ID_000227} / {L3/219/1} 523. The document purports to contain notes relating to “The Economics of central core BitCoin Nodes” and is dated as if it was created in the period September-October 2008. (a) COPA’s Reasons for Alleging Forgery 524. The document has been backdated. Within the document are several hidden embedded zip files containing references to Microsoft Schema dating from 2014-2015 which did not exist in 2008. These references are not visible to someone editing the document or reviewing its internal content without forensic analysis. [PM26 [16-17]]. 525. Equations within {ID_000227} were created with MathType software v6.9, a version dating from February 2013 which did not exist in 2008. [PM40 [32, 42]]. 526. The document contains redundant hidden content of previous edits which do not appear on the face of the document. [PM26 [19-20]]. 527. The hidden embedded text within the document includes references to a web page URL which did not exist until on or after 11 April 2019. [PM26 [21]]. 528. The reference to the 11 April 2019 URL has been deleted from the face of the document and replaced with a footnote which appears to be a “note to self” about what would need to be added in a future draft (“Note: I will need to link to laws such as the CFAA (USA) – see LLM[…]”). Other footnotes have been introduced or edited to refer to Bitcoin in the future tense. The misleading effect of these edits is to make the document appear as if it was created at a time before Bitcoin was created. In fact, the document was created later, after 11 April 2019, and the anachronistic content was obscured by editing. [PM26 [19-24]]. 529. The document was created from a precursor document after 11 April 2019. No precursor document has been disclosed by Dr Wright. [PM26 [23]]. 530. The document {ID_000227} has an implausible edit time of 20 days 19 hours and 22 minutes consistent with the use of clock manipulation techniques. [PM26 [6-10]]. 531. The document was emailed from Dr Wright to Lynn Wright on 18 January 2020. The email contains several manipulated documents purported to be in the custody of Lynn Wright. The metadata of that zip file is also irregular. [{ID_003937}, PM26 [1, 25-38]]. (b) COPA’s Reasons for Inferring Dr Wright’s Knowledge / Responsibility 532. The effect of the tampering is to make the document appear to be supportive of Dr Wright’s claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto (suggesting work done by him in September / October 2008 which looked ahead to Bitcoin), contrary to fact. 533. Although the document metadata purports Lynn Wright to have been an author, it was actually created by Dr Wright in the name of Lynn Wright after 11 April 2019, and a copy later sent from Dr Wright to Lynn Wright by email long after they were separated, contained in a zip file along with many other files bearing evidence of backdating and tampering including several documents on which Dr Wright primarily relies. The metadata of that zip file is itself also irregular. [{ID_003927}, PM26 [1, 25-38]]. 534. Dr Wright shared a document with identical content on social media on 16 January 2020, contemporaneously with the aforesaid email to Lynn Wright. Upon request in these proceedings, Dr Wright has repeatedly declined to disclose a copy of his posts to social media accounts. Since the date of the Request, Dr Wright has claimed to have lost access to the relevant social media account. 535. The content introduced into the document, having the effect of making it appear to date from earlier than its true date, is phrased in the first person as a note from Dr Wright to himself. 536. In his first witness statement in these proceedings, Dr Wright lists this document as a document to which he has been referred when preparing his evidence. 537. Dr Wright is recorded in the metadata as the first author. 538. Dr Wright has not disclosed the precursor documents [PM26 [23]]. (c) Dr Wright’s Explanations and COPA’s Rebuttal 539. Dr Wright sought to explain away the presence of anachronistic references to Mathtype software and Microsoft schemas by referring to the effects of his computing environment in supposedly causing such elements to be inserted into documents merely through a document being opened (without any user interaction): Wright11 Appendix B, [6.3 to 6.4]{CSW/2/20}. 540. Dr Wright sought to explain the presence of remnant text, including the URL in the footnote dating from 2019, by saying that text from another document had become merged with the text of this document as a result of features of his computing environment: Wright11 Appendix B, [6.5 to 6.6] {CSW/2/20}. He also suggested that the article at the URL had limited relevance to the material content of his document. 541. COPA submitted that this explanation should be rejected as dishonest for the following reasons: 541.1. Dr Wright’s explanation is contradicted by the clear expert evidence of Mr Madden, which is that the Mathtype references and schema references could not be inserted without the document being interacted with by a user, which would in turn result in updating of the metadata timestamps of the document. The fact that the metadata timestamps for this document were dated to 2008 but the raw data contained the elements set out above shows that the document has been forged by backdating. See Madden4, [158]; Madden / Placks joint statement2 at [8]; {Day16/35:19} to {Day16/38:11}; {Day16/125:7} to {Day16/125:18}. 541.2. It is wildly implausible that the features of a shared computing environment would cause two documents to become merged, and to do so in a way which resulted in the document not being corrupted and appearing normal on its face. See Madden4, [159]; Madden / Placks joint statement2 at [8]. 541.3. In his evidence, Dr Wright tried to justify his position by going so far as to claim implausibly that any digital document more than a few years’ old could be expected to have anomalous features in its raw data. He claimed never to have seen a file older than five years which was pristine in metadata, before being compelled to accept that the Bitcoin White Paper is pristine {Day3/20:5} to {Day3/20:25}. 541.4. In his evidence, Dr Wright attempted to explain that the footnote in the edited version of the document was obviously more apt to the text than the footnote in the remnant text. In doing so, he put forward a bizarre interpretation of the Bitcoin system in which the availability of injunctive relief is supposedly essential to preventing subversion of the system: {Day3/7:18} to {Day3/15:16}. (d) Conclusion 542. The points on this document gathered in Appendix 1 to Dr Wright’s Closing repeat a number of points I have already found to be unconvincing in relation to {ID_000217} above and they are equally unconvincing here. Furthermore, the argument that this document is the result of text from another document becoming merged into the document is particularly absurd. The argument presupposes disk read errors such that a disk sector containing a portion of another document is merged into the saved version of this document but without any trace of corruption or discontinuity. 543. In short, I found Dr Wright’s explanations wholly unconvincing, especially in the light of the detailed specific points made by Mr Madden. This document was plainly forged, and forged by Dr Wright.

Beyond the Screen: How Modern Technology Is Redefining Our Relationships and Love

Runes: The Next Big Step in Bitcoin's Evolution?

The internet is a rowdy place. Here, online abuse is a regular feature, fraud and misinformation vie for space, and any invention in the world shows up to wedge into the differences of humanity. Gender-based abuse and bias shows up regularly. They stem from the sleazier side of technology. Yet, human beings keep coming to the internet for more. Like the red and the blue pill in The Matrix, the choices humanity is left with are to become ignorant and happy or all-knowing and desolate. Even when the internet helps us, we have social media preying on our need for constant communication, gratification, appreciation. Any information that titillates us wins. Already, Facebook and Instagram are in trouble because of election disinformation in the European Parliament elections in June, where the European Commission opened an investigation into suspected breaches of EU online content rules. Consequently, Facebook owner Meta has set up a team to tackle disinformation and abuse of GenAI in the elections. OGBV, the Old Online Predator Gender-based abuse has been rampant on the internet, possibly because of the culture it panders to. Currently, Miss AI competitions are already hitting it high. Yes, create AI women based on the latest beauty standards and judge them. Reap awards to the tune of US$20,000. Meanwhile, Open AI’s GPT store has been flooded with AI girlfriend bots. For decades, the problem of Online Gender Based Violence (OGBV) has been making the internet unsafe for many women. A recent study (based on an analysis of 94 court cases) on online gender-based violence in India reveals that Indian courts tend to treat cases of online violence towards women as less severe than physical violence due to the misconception that online space is less real or tangible than the physical world. Despite the internet being hailed as a great equalizer, its pledge of providing a free and open space falters when women encounter hate speech online. Regrettably, many find themselves without the understanding to articulate such acts of violence or seek redress
Radhika Jhalani, Legal Counsel at Delhi-based legal not-for-profit organization SFLC.innone Radhika Jhalani, Legal Counsel at Delhi-based legal not-for-profit organization SFLC.in said, “Online Gender-Based Violence emerges as a formidable threat, casting a dark shadow on the active participation of women and marginalized communities in the digital realm. Despite the internet being hailed as a great equalizer, its pledge of providing a free and open space falters when women encounter hate speech online. Regrettably, many find themselves without the understanding to articulate such acts of violence or seek redress.” SFLC.in tied up with UNESCO to launch a guide on dealing with Online Gender Based Violence (OGBV). The guide, titled ‘How To Defend Your Online Spaces Against Online Gender-Based Violence’, helps identify the various types of online abuse that take place and takes the user through possible recourses available to them to combat this form of violence. The guide is available in English, Hindi, Marathi, and Malayalam. The educational guide from SFLC.in and UNESCO is designed to help users understand what constitutes OGBV, help them identify it, and take a user through possible recourses. The guide covers offenses of online sexual harassment, cyberflashing, cyberstalking, non-consensual dissemination of private and intimate photos or videos, doxing, morphing (including deepfakes), voyeurism, online sextortion or sexploitation, hate speech, identity theft and offenses targeting minors. Unsafe Online Ads Even as Instagram is looking to put unmovable ads, i.e. ads you cannot skip, the Annual Complaints Report published in May by the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) says digital ads accounted for 85% of ads processed, and had a lower compliance rate of 75%, compared to 97% for print and TV. This raises serious questions about the online safety of consumers, as was highlighted last year as well. 94% of the ads that were processed were picked up suo moto by ASCI. 49% of the advertisements picked up by ASCI were not contested by the advertisers. A total of 98% of cases eventually required modification as they violated the ASCI Code. Also, this year, healthcare emerged as the most violative sector, contributing to 19% of cases, followed by illegal offshore betting (17%), personal care (13%), conventional education (12%), food and beverage (10%), and realty (7%). Baby care emerged as a new contender in the top violators category, with influencer promotions contributing to 81% of baby care cases. Out of the 1,575 advertisements processed in the healthcare sector, 1249 violated the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act, 1954, and were reported to the sector regulator. 86% of the healthcare ads appeared on digital platforms. 1311 advertisements for illegal betting were sent to the appropriate authorities for further action. Of the 1064 ads that ASCI examined in personal care, 95% of them appeared online, with more than half (55%) being influencer non-disclosure cases. With the highest number of violative ads seen online, advertisers and platforms must work more closely with regulators and self-regulators to keep consumers protected
Manisha Kapoor, CEO & Secretary General of ASCInone Manisha Kapoor, CEO & Secretary General of ASCI, said, “With the highest number of violative ads seen online, advertisers and platforms must work more closely with regulators and self-regulators to keep consumers protected.” Data Leaks with Online Dating Dating apps are the most vulnerable when it comes to user data protection. Recently, gay dating app Grindr has been facing a mass data protection lawsuit in London from hundreds of its users whose private information, which included HIV status, was allegedly shared with third parties without consent. It’s incidents like these that prompt these dating sites to take extra precautions. In February, Tinder introduced more identity checks for UK users, which involve a passport or a driving license to be checked against a video selfie. Those who sign up for the scheme voluntarily get an icon on their profile, which certifies the authenticity of their age and likeness. But Can We Escape the Internet? Already one in four children today has a smartphone. Group chats on WhatsApp and other social media apps are ruling our days. On TikTok and Instagram, people are sharing their experiences of taking care of relatives who have reached their final years. New apps are being created to take care of our loneliness, like Los Angeles-based Buffet, which behaves like Tinder by matching people up and suggesting a place to meet like OpenTable. This addiction to the internet and social media cannot be good for us. Yet, that’s what’s in store for the future generation. According to research, as social media platforms contribute to teenage cancel culture, they can disrupt vital conditions needed to flourish as a developing social being. Negligent usage of technology and social media, which is increasing among younger users is resulting in risky behavior. These kinds of behaviors range from anxiety to cyberbullying, device addiction, problems with self-perceptions of one’s own body, and depression, among others. Some people are exasperated by this. They are even turning away from smartphones opting for dumber phones. There is a growing trend for lower-tech devices, with a minority of people swapping their smartphones for “dumb phones”. Smart but depressed or dumb but happy, like the red and the blue pill in The Matrix, these are the choices humanity is left with.

In recent months, tapping apps on the TON blockchain like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat have gained extremely growing popularity. The number of Hamster users reached 250 million—more than the number of Binance app users (200 mln). Telegram CEO Pavel Durov called TON mini apps “Internet Phenomenon” and marked Hamster Combat's success as a top case. In this article, I’d like to describe the most popular Telegram mini apps, their UI, and marketing mechanics. Top mini apps Actually, Telegram mini apps use Play to Earn agenda and may be compared with "clickers" from Steam. The mechanics of such applications are elementary. The user needs to perform specific actions in the application for which they get rewards. The most common action is to make a tap and get native app cryptocurrency. The key advantage of these crypto clickers over the previous generation of Play to Earn games is simplicity. Notcoin was the first such app in Telegram. Besides tapping, users must specify certain ciphers daily and perform actions, such as subscribing to NOT partner channels. By the way, Notcoin didn't have any gaming plot. Hamster Kombat is different. Based on the HK story, you become CEO of a crypto exchange and get rewards in HMSTR for developing your company. You also get rewarded if you enter secret codes in the form of Morse code (all of them can be found in Telegram). Notcoin and Hamster Kombat listing Notcoin currency NOT was listed on Bybit, Binance and other top crypto exchanges. Its price since this May had a high level of volatility with the dip below $0.005 and top level - $0.026 according to CoinMarketCap. The current NOT price is about $0,016. The founder of Notcoin Alex has already spoken in the press about the future development plan of the project - to make something similar to a launchpad for promoactions and startups. Hamster Kombat listing, due to the very high popularity of this coin, is likely to become one of the significant events for the crypto world in 2024. Most likely, Bybit will be the largest exchange in which this event will take place. After all, Bybit opened HMSTR trading at the pre-market last week. Among other popular Telegram mini apps we can also mention Catizen, Tapswap, YesCoin and Blum. Catizen and YesCoin have become members of TON Open League and leaders in 4 Season with 1st and 2nd place in the rating. These projects mentioned in the popular channels of the TON ecosystem and show promise, although this is not yet certain. Which apps are perspective and which NOT? Most apps' profitability is determined not by their listings and token sales (like it was with previous play to earn games) but by their marketing performance. Utilizing mini apps for advertising and attracting real users through direct integrations is a crucial strategy for digital product promotion. The main marketing channel to promote mini-apps is the Telegram Ads service, where it's possible to pay in TON and TON Stars for display advertising. Previously, to make a promotion in Telegram, you needed a fairly large budget or direct access to the channel you needed - now, in recent months, the situation has changed, and it has become possible to set up an advertising campaign with flexible conditions. At least, that's what many channel owners and marketers think. What about TON blockchain ecosystem? I would like to say two words about the TON blockchain ecosystem, which has rightfully become one of the world's top blockchain ecosystems this year. The main advantage of this blockchain is its popularity in Telegram. It also provides fast transactions. During the public performance test last year, it had smart contract execution 104 715 transactions per second. TON ecosystem already has several convenient wallets and DEXes. The significant events driving the growth of the TON ecosystem this year are the partnership with Tether and the emergence of native USDT on the TON blockchain. The amount of USDT on the blockchain is already $572,000 mln. Recently TON also received a record amount of investment from Pantera Capital, a prominent venture capital investor.  You can read the main TON news on the TON community channel and the list of projects and coins on the TON.app website. Can I launch my app in Telegram? As with any hot market in the cryptocurrency sphere, there are many people who appear eager to run their clicker, and some of them do achieve success. Nowadays, you can create your mini app quite quickly due to open-source tools, but attracting traffic is a bit more difficult. At the same time, competition for traffic and leads is growing. The biggest advertising channels to promote clickers are Telegram ads and partnerships with already-existing mini apps. Conclusion Telegram's Mini apps have introduced new mechanics to properly promote cryptocurrencies - giving them away to users. This is the automation of airdrops and their extreme simplification. Overall, this is a good thing in terms of mass adoption. By spending time playing games users have fun and learn how to use cryptocurrencies. As before in the Play to Earn games story, there is a lot of anticipation here, but the question is whether such projects will become long-lasting or if they are just for one season. If you compare tapping app tokens with memcoins, they, too, are very volatile and have no direct collateral. But at least mini-apps have a large audience of supporters and users in the millions who use them daily. \If you are interested in getting more crypto insights, you can watch the global crypto regulation rating here and get updates on my X account.

In a market as volatile as crypto, features such as stability and price protection of some sort could be very welcome for all users. They’re not always available, though, let alone if you’re looking to earn some rewards. Luckily, the token LINE deployed on the Kava network and connected to Obyte is offering this opportunity to everyone. LINE operates as a price-protected digital asset, designed to safeguard your investment through a unique borrowing system deployed on Kava. Users can acquire LINE tokens by locking up an equivalent value of GBYTE (Obyte native currency) collateral through linetoken.org. Then, if the price of LINE tokens rises, users can profitably sell them on the same platform and settle their loans. Conversely, if the price decreases, users can repay the loan with their LINE tokens and retrieve their GBYTE collateral, minus fees, ensuring that their principal investment remains almost intact. The price of LINE tokens is determined by market dynamics, and to stabilize it, mechanisms such as interest rate adjustments and origination fees are employed. Additionally, it’s important to note that LINE token loans have their own market as put options. They’re financial contracts that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to sell a certain number of tokens at a predetermined price (known as the strike price) within a specified period. In this case, if you borrow LINE tokens with collateral, you get as well your put option in the form of a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) that can be freely traded. On the other hand, if you buy LINE tokens directly (without collateral) or sell your NFT-loan to make a profit, you’ll lose the feature of price protection. Kava Rise Program LINE was designed to work in tandem with the Counterstake Bridge in Obyte and the Kava Rise Program to offer rewards to its users. The Kava Rise Program serves as an initiative by Kava to incentivize decentralized applications (Dapps) operating on its network by rewarding their developers based on their Total Value Locked (TVL) —a measure of the total funds held within a DeFi protocol. Participating Dapps, including Counterstake and LINE, are eligible to receive a portion of the monthly rewards, amounting to 1,000,000 KAVA tokens (around $1 million), distributed in proportion to the TVL they generate on Kava. This setup creates an incentive structure where Dapps are prized for attracting and retaining users, fostering growth within the Kava ecosystem. ** ** Obyte is distributing 90% of the rewards acquired from the Kava Rise Program to participating users (50% since June). Anyone can leverage the LINE token by borrowing it against GBYTE collateral and bridging it to the Obyte network through Counterstake. Holding LINE tokens in Obyte wallets automatically qualifies users for a share of the Kava Rise rewards, proportional to twice their LINE balances. This mechanism not only encourages participation but also provides a means for users to earn rewards while minimizing risk, as the price-protected nature of the LINE token ensures that users can manage potential price fluctuations effectively. Currently, the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of this method is around 60% (see kava.obyte.org for the actual rate). How to Use LINE to earn rewards? Besides trading with the tokens and the NFT-loans (in the “Market” section on the official webpage), you can take advantage of the Kava Rise Program or offer liquidity to its pools on Equilibre DEX. In the first case, you’ll need to use the Counterstake Bridge to move the assets across Kava and Obyte. ** ** You can follow some simple steps: Bridge your GBYTEs from Obyte to Kava using Counterstake.


Utilize your GBYTE-on-Kava to borrow LINE tokens from linetoken.org.


Bridge the borrowed LINE tokens back to your Obyte wallet using Counterstake.


Hold your LINE tokens in your Obyte wallet to automatically qualify for a share of the Kava Rise rewards, distributed monthly based on your LINE token holdings. You'll receive your rewards directly to your Obyte wallet without any additional steps required.


To reclaim your collateral, bridge your LINE tokens back to Kava, repay the loan on linetoken.org, and bridge the received GBYTEs back to Obyte. Alternatively, if the LINE token price has increased since you opened the loan, you can sell your LINE tokens on the market for a potentially higher return. In the second case, by providing liquidity to select pools trading LINE tokens, you can earn rewards in LINE tokens. Simply stake your LP (liquidity provider) tokens on the staking page to start earning rewards. ** ** Additionally, you have the option to stake your LINE tokens directly to receive a share of rewards. These rewards are sourced from fees collected from borrowers and are distributed to participants based on their contributions to liquidity. The staking section is available on the website. This way, LINE presents as a potentially profitable investment. Whether earning rewards through the Kava Rise program, leveraging liquidity provision for additional income, or simply holding LINE tokens for potential appreciation, users have diverse avenues to maximize their earnings while contributing to the growth of the LINE ecosystem.
