Minder AI Structured Interactive Language - A New Frontier Open Standard

PALO ALTO, California, December 16th, 2024/Chainwire/--This partnership establishes the first AI x Web3 Lab at Stanford University’s Future of Digital Currency Initiative. Stanford University’s Future of Digital Currency Initiative (FDCI) and Eliza Labs, creators of the open-source Eliza agent framework, today announced a groundbreaking research partnership to explore how autonomous AI agents will transform digital currency systems. The collaboration, set to begin in Q1 2025, brings together Stanford's expertise in digital currency research with Eliza Labs' cutting-edge capabilities in autonomous agent development. Leveraging Eliza Labs' open-source Eliza framework for autonomous agent development, the partnership will tackle fundamental questions about how AI agents can establish trust, coordinate actions, and make decisions within decentralized financial systems. This research comes at a critical moment as autonomous agents increasingly influence economic systems and financial services, with the Eliza framework providing a proven foundation for developing reliable and scalable agent-based systems. "This collaboration represents a unique opportunity to shape how AI agents will interact within digital economies," said Professors Dan Boneh and David Mazières, who will oversee the research fellowship program. "By combining FDCI's established infrastructure with Eliza Labs' expertise in multi-agent systems, we're positioning ourselves at the forefront of this transformative technology." "We are incredibly excited to partner with Stanford’s Future of Digital Currency Initiative, one of the most prestigious programs for digital currency research, to explore how AI agents can reshape the future of financial systems,” said Shaw Walters, Founder of Eliza Labs. “Together, we’re combining Stanford’s academic rigor with our widely used Eliza AI agent framework to drive trust and governance in decentralized economies.” The research program will unfold across three phases throughout 2025, focusing on three core areas: Agent Trust Mechanisms: Developing new frameworks for how autonomous agents establish and verify trust within digital currency networks, building upon Eliza Labs' existing agent trust architecture
Multi-Agent Economic Systems: Investigating how agents interact and coordinate in economic contexts
Decentralized Agent Governance: Creating new protocols for managing autonomous agent communities The initiative will produce open-source frameworks, simulation platforms, and practical applications in automated market-making systems and decentralized financial services. Early-stage findings and developments will be shared through peer-reviewed publications and industry presentations. The partnership is actively seeking select industry collaborators, offering early access to emerging technologies and direct involvement in shaping research directions. For venture firms and blockchain infrastructure partners, this represents an opportunity to position themselves at the forefront of agent technology development while accessing emerging technical talent in the field. Research outcomes will include novel trust frameworks for autonomous agents, scalable multi-agent coordination protocols, and formal models for agent governance in decentralized systems. These developments aim to establish foundational standards for agent interaction in digital economies. About Eliza Labs Eliza Labs is at the forefront of developing next-generation autonomous agent systems. Founded in 2024, Eliza Labs is the creator of the Eliza agent framework, an open-source platform designed to revolutionize the way autonomous AI agents are created, deployed, and managed. The Eliza framework enables powerful multi-agent simulations, empowering developers, researchers, and businesses to build advanced AI systems.

In the midst of crystal-clear waters and lush tropical landscapes, the Pacific Island nations have long wrestled with a silent economic challenge that runs deeper than the ocean currents. Picture Mele, a young entrepreneur in Tonga, standing frustrated at her local bank branch. Despite her innovative business idea and determination, she faces an insurmountable first hurdle – the inability to open a bank account without formal proof of employment. The traditional banking system, rigid and unforgiving, becomes a barrier rather than a bridge to economic opportunity. The story repeats itself across the Pacific islands. Families waiting anxiously for international transfers find themselves caught in a bureaucratic maze that seems designed to test their patience. A simple transaction initiated on a Saturday becomes a multi-day waiting game, with funds potentially arriving only on Tuesday of the following week. These aren't mere inconveniences; they're economic roadblocks that chip away at the financial hopes of entire communities. Enter Bitcoin – not just a cryptocurrency, but a potential lifeline for economies long marginalized by traditional financial systems. The digital currency represents more than just an alternative; it's a reimagining of money itself. At its core, Bitcoin challenges the very foundations of how we understand financial exchange, offering a glimpse of hope for those left behind by conventional banking. Consider the fundamental roles of money – a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value. Traditional currencies have long monopolized these functions, but they've done so with significant limitations. In the context of Pacific Island nations, these limitations become glaringly apparent. The Lightning Network, a technological marvel built atop Bitcoin, begins to dissolve these barriers. Imagine a fisherman in Fiji able to receive international payments instantly, without waiting days or paying exorbitant transfer fees. Imagine an artist in Samoa selling her work globally, receiving payment in real-time, without a bank account or credit check. The decentralized nature of Bitcoin offers something revolutionary – financial inclusion without gatekeepers. Where traditional banks demand proof of employment, Bitcoin requires only an internet connection and a digital wallet. It doesn't discriminate based on job status, credit history, or geographical location. For the young entrepreneur like Maria, this means a chance to participate in the global economy on her own terms. The technology goes beyond mere convenience. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin provides a hedge against the economic volatility that often plagues small island nations. Local currencies can fluctuate wildly, eroding savings and economic stability. Bitcoin offers a digital alternative – a store of value that isn't subject to local economic whims or governmental monetary policies. This isn't to say the path is without challenges. The volatility of cryptocurrency is real, and technological access remains a concern. But the trajectory is promising. Smartphone penetration is increasing, internet infrastructure is improving, and the younger generations are increasingly tech-savvy. What once seemed like a distant digital dream is becoming an achievable economic reality. The implications extend far beyond simple transactions. We're talking about a fundamental reimagining of financial sovereignty. For Pacific Island nations, Bitcoin represents more than an investment – it's a potential escape from economic marginalization. It's a technology that could transform waiting times from days to milliseconds, bank account requirements from impossible to accessible, and economic limitations from insurmountable to opportunity. As the world becomes increasingly digital, the Pacific Islands stand at a unique crossroads. They can either be left behind by traditional financial systems or leap forward with a technology that knows no borders. Bitcoin isn't just a currency – it's a promise of economic empowerment, a digital bridge connecting isolated communities to the global economy. The waves of change are rising, and they're powered by lines of code, not traditional banking ledgers. Disclaimer: Cryptocurrency investments carry risks. Always conduct thorough research and consult financial advisors before making investment decisions.

Whether you’re a designer, developer, or other creative professional, your online portfolio offers more than a showcase of your work—it’s a platform to impress potential employers and tell your story. According to Liquid Web’s guide to building a portfolio website, a well-designed site can help students demonstrate their skills, personality, and creativity in ways that a traditional resume simply cannot. If you’re ready to take control of your digital presence, here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a portfolio website that sets you apart. Choosing the Right Platform The first step is selecting the right platform. Your choice will depend on your technical skills, budget, and how much customization you need. Here are the top options: Website builders: Platforms like WordPress.com, Wix, and Squarespace offer user-friendly interfaces and templates for building professional sites without coding knowledge. Canva also provides visually striking design options. Custom websites: For students with coding experience, building a site with HTML/CSS or a self-hosted WordPress.org setup offers more flexibility. Static site generators like Jekyll or Hugo are great for those who want more control without managing a full content management system. For most students, website builders are the easiest way to get started. Key Elements of a Portfolio Website Your portfolio website should include these essential sections: Homepage: Start with a clean, engaging layout. Include a brief introduction, a tagline about your expertise, and links to key sections like your portfolio, resume, and contact information. About Me section: Share your story and career goals. Include a professional headshot, a personal statement, and a list of key skills. Portfolio section: Highlight your best work. Include project samples, case studies, and testimonials if possible. Each project should tell a story about the challenge, your process, and the results. Resume section: Make your resume scannable. List your education, work experience, and certifications. Offer a downloadable version for employers. Contact page: Provide clear, functional ways for employers to reach you, such as a contact form, email address, and links to professional social profiles like LinkedIn. Designing for Impact An impactful portfolio site does more than showcase your work—it demonstrates your professionalism. Keep these principles in mind: Consistency: Use a cohesive color scheme, simple typography, and a personal logo. User-friendly layout: Keep navigation simple and logical. Use white space to make your content easy to scan. Mobile optimization: Make sure your site looks great on any device with responsive design. Test its functionality on multiple screens. Hosting and Domain Your portfolio needs a reliable hosting provider to stay accessible. While free hosting might be tempting, paid options typically offer better performance and customization. Platforms like Liquid Web provide managed VPS hosting and dedicated servers for students who want advanced performance and scalability. When choosing a domain name, keep it professional and simple. If your name is unavailable, consider including your profession (e.g., johnhancockdesign.com). Optimizing for Visibility A great portfolio doesn’t mean much if employers can’t find it. Basic SEO strategies can boost your site’s visibility: Use keywords related to your skills and field.
Optimize image file names and alt text.
Share your site on LinkedIn and professional networks to build backlinks. Maintaining and Updating Your Portfolio A portfolio is never truly finished. As your skills and experience grow, so should your website: Regularly update projects and remove outdated work.
Use analytics tools like Google Analytics to track visitor behavior and improve the user experience.
Seek feedback from peers and mentors to refine your design and content. Final Thoughts A well-crafted portfolio website can be your ticket to standing out in a competitive job market. It should showcase your best work, reflect your personality, and demonstrate your technical skills to create a lasting impression on potential employers.

The EB1A visa continues to attract growing numbers of applicants eager to secure this "extraordinary ability" green card. Approval rates have improved, but applicants still find the process challenging. Baden Bower, a trusted PR firm, provides creative ways for applicants to make their profiles stand out while addressing everyday challenges. EB1A Visa Demand Keeps Climbing Interest in EB1A continues to grow steadily. In 2023, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) received 11,319 petitions, an increase from 10,481 the previous year. These numbers reflect the appeal of this visa for talented professionals seeking permanent residency in the United States. EB1A approval rates rose to 65% in 2023, compared to 53.6% the year before. However, many applicants still face rejection. USCIS reached the annual EB-1 visa quota in August 2024, intensifying the competition for available slots. "With more applicants entering the process, standing out becomes essential. Our tailored PR strategies help individuals present their extraordinary abilities in compelling ways that resonate with USCIS evaluators," says AJ Ignacio, CEO of Baden Bower. Overcoming Challenges in EB1A Applications Applicants often struggle to prove they have achieved consistent recognition on a national or international level. USCIS requires evidence of sustained excellence throughout an applicant’s career rather than isolated accomplishments. For those lacking traditional honors like major awards or numerous academic publications, public relations can offer a valuable solution. Baden Bower specializes in securing media features and creating thought leadership opportunities that elevate an applicant’s professional reputation. "We work with clients to craft engaging stories about their contributions," Ignacio explains. "Whether it’s gaining visibility in respected media outlets or organizing impactful speaking engagements, we help showcase their unique talents and career-long impact." PR Campaigns Tailored to EB1A Requirements To meet USCIS criteria, applicants must provide evidence for at least three of ten EB1A visa requirements. These include original contributions to a field, authorship of scholarly work, or membership in exclusive organizations. Baden Bower designs personalized PR campaigns that align with these standards. Publishing op-eds in influential journals can highlight innovative ideas while promoting collaborations with recognized organizations, demonstrating professional influence. "We translate achievements into clear and persuasive evidence," Ignacio says. "This goes beyond publicity—our focus is on building a strong case for approval that aligns with USCIS guidelines." Establishing Intent Without a Job Offer Unlike other employment-based visas, the EB1A does not require applicants to have a job offer from a U.S. employer. However, they must commit to continuing their work in the United States. Baden Bower helps applicants get featured in Forbes through targeted media campaigns and connections with U.S.-based institutions. Promoting potential partnerships or leadership in new and dynamic fields shows readiness to contribute meaningfully in the future. "We create a clear narrative emphasizing past successes while pointing toward future contributions," Ignacio says. "This balanced presentation helps USCIS reviewers see the full scope of the applicant’s potential." A polished and strategic PR plan can make a world of difference for EB1A applicants. Collaborating with professionals like Baden Bower allows individuals to present a convincing case for their extraordinary ability, increasing their chances of success and securing opportunities in the United States.

How Baden Bower Helps EB1A Visa Applicants Stand Out as Competition Intensifies

Australia has taken a groundbreaking step in safeguarding young people online, approving a historic law on Thursday that bans children under 16 from using social media platforms. This decision, made after a spirited national debate, is being celebrated as a forward-thinking move that prioritizes the mental health and well-being of the next generation. The new Social Media Minimum Age Bill mandates that tech giants—from Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, to TikTok—prevent minors under 16 from logging into their platforms. Non-compliance could result in hefty fines of up to A$49.5 million ($32 million). A trial phase for enforcement methods will begin in January, with the full ban set to take effect in a year. Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the legislation is needed to protect young people from the “harms” of social media, something many parent groups have voiced. Leading the Way Globally By implementing this legislation, Australia positions itself as a global pioneer, setting a benchmark for governments worldwide grappling with the impact of social media on young minds. While countries like France and some U.S. states have imposed restrictions requiring parental permission for minors, Australia’s ban is comprehensive, applying universally to all children under 16. This decisive action contrasts with other regions, such as Florida, where a ban for under-14s is being challenged on free speech grounds. Australia's firm approach underscores its commitment to protecting its youth, free from the legal entanglements seen elsewhere. A Win for Families and Mental Health Supporters of the bill are hailing it as a much-needed intervention in an era dominated by digital connectivity. Advocates argue that prolonged social media exposure can negatively affect mental health, with risks including anxiety, depression, and cyberbullying. This law, they believe, empowers parents and provides young people with the space to grow and thrive without the pressures of online validation. Building a Safer Digital Future The road ahead involves testing enforcement measures, but optimism abounds. Australia’s initiative not only raises the bar for tech accountability but also reflects a broader societal shift toward prioritizing the well-being of future generations. With this bold move, Australia has sparked hope for a safer, more thoughtful digital future—and the world is watching. Australia now serves as a pivotal test case for other nations deliberating similar measures. While countries like France and some U.S. states have passed laws requiring parental permission for minors to access social media, Australia’s approach is absolute, banning access entirely for children under 16. The  bold stance cuts through the debate, offering a clear and enforceable solution to the growing concern over social media’s impact on young people's mental health. Meanwhile, other jurisdictions, like Florida, continue to wrestle with the issue. Florida’s under-14s ban is entangled in legal challenges over free speech rights, highlighting the complexity of implementing such policies. Australia’s success could pave the way for streamlined solutions elsewhere. The ban sparked opposition from privacy advocates and child rights groups, yet it garnered strong public backing, with 77% of Australians supporting the bill.

How to Stand Out in Machine Learning Interviews: A Framework for ML System Design

Suilend, a DeFi platform on Sui, has released SpringSui, a framework for liquid staking tokens (LSTs), along with its first implementation, Spring SUI (sSUI). The launch comes as Sui's liquid staking adoption lags behind other major networks, with only 1.18% of tokens in LSTs compared to 6.6% on Solana and 41% on Ethereum. SpringSui builds upon two protocol upgrades, SIP-31 and SIP-33, which introduce new token standards for LSTs. The framework allows users to stake SUI and receive tokens representing their staked assets, which can be utilized across DeFi platforms. The technical implementation includes an instant unstaking feature, which addresses depegging risks in LST-backed collateral. This feature could help mitigate a common concern in liquid staking protocols where token values can diverge from their underlying assets. Industry participants have shown interest in adopting the standard. Aftermath Finance, a leading LST provider on Sui, has committed to implementing SpringSui. Studio Mirai plans to explore community-driven LSTs using the framework. The SpringSui standard has been open-sourced, allowing any Sui developer to build upon it. Suilend plans to launch a platform enabling users to create and manage their own LSTs with customizable fee structures. The introduction of SpringSui could address several challenges in Sui's DeFi ecosystem. The low LST adoption rate suggests untapped potential for growth, and standardization could help accelerate development. The instant unstaking feature tackles a critical risk factor in liquid staking protocols. The open-source approach and support from established projects indicate potential for ecosystem-wide adoption. However, success will depend on market conditions, user adoption, and the ability to maintain security as usage scales. The timing aligns with broader trends in DeFi, where liquid staking has become increasingly important for capital efficiency. As proof-of-stake networks mature, standards like SpringSui could play a crucial role in developing robust DeFi infrastructure. For context, Sui is competing in a market where Ethereum dominates liquid staking with products like Lido. SpringSui's technical innovations and focus on risk mitigation could help differentiate Sui's LST ecosystem, though reaching similar adoption levels will require sustained development and user engagement.

Bitcoin has brought about many changes in many industries, from education to health, and is now disrupting traditional mobile networks through a variety of ways. Along with the introduction of Bitcoin was the technology that made the cryptocurrency viable: blockchain. A tamper-proof digital ledger that is constantly verified by a network of computers, blockchain is a technology that offers security in the form of smart contracts, which is key in bringing decentralized mobile networks to life. The future of telecommunications lies in personal autonomy The idea of decentralized mobile networks - or DeWi for short - is not something that was possible until the recent blockchain revolution. The idea is that consumers have a stake in the network instead of having it wholly owned by a mobile operator or DeWi company. This would mean the end of mobile company monopoly in many regions of the world when it has fully rolled out. Currently, it is a challenge to transform the landscape of cell towers into household nodes, which is how DeWi operates. By purchasing an antenna from a DeWi company, consumers essentially become a node or a network point, which means that DeWi only works if enough people adopt the idea. There are incentives to get more consumers onboard, as these network nodes also allow users to farm DeWi tokens - this means that users are rewarded for building a decentralized network together. For example, Helium, one of the pioneers in DeWi, is rewarding its users with tokens for every authentication or Proof-of-Coverage, and also the amount of data that they transmit for the network. Helium uses LoRaWAN which provides a 10 mile radius coverage and it can be easily implemented even in rural areas. Another benefit of DeWi is the affordability and flexibility as users are no longer tied to a particular network. eSims becoming part of the digital revolution of decentralization Sim cards are crucial in today’s landscape but they are becoming increasingly defunct, especially since many smartphones nowadays support eSims, which are short for embedded Sim. While eSims are also viable on traditional mobile networks, the rise of modern technology has opened up new doors for eSims, such as the option to break free from traditional telcos. Without the invention of eSims, the decentralization of networks may not be possible. But as it were, the two innovations go hand in hand, one to provide accessibility and the other to facilitate this accessibility. But why should users make the switch from traditional networks over to a DeFi when eSims already afford them flexibility and convenience? The simple answer lies in pricing, as DeFi is touted to be much more cost effective and affordable in the long run. It is also a lot more secure than traditional networks, where users have to sign up with a company and have their data reaped. Enhancing security and promoting privacy on the blockchain Blockchain technology is known for its airtight security wherein smart contracts can be set up securely and prevent fraudulent behavior as well as protect user data from malicious cyber threats. The frequency of data leaks nowadays have users vigilant regarding what companies they place their trust in. With mobile network companies tracking their user’s data across platforms, logging their behavioral patterns and personal data, it creates a huge security risk. Meanwhile, decentralized networks will not have the same kind of reach, nor will they have the access to log these data as everything would be automated on the blockchain, without having to key in personal details into a database as smart contracts will do that for both ends securely and anonymously. What’s next? Collaborative efforts to make connectivity more accessible and stable Deloitte recently reported that decentralized networks could potentially save telecom operators up to $15 billion annually in fraud reduction, but there is more than one benefit for telco providers with the implementation of decentralization. Where traditional telcos rely on cell towers, decentralization creates a new technology that can offer better coverage at a lower cost. This innovation may go on to spark new ideas for telcos on how to better serve the community, especially those in rural areas. Furthermore, the widespread distribution of these nodes also means that the coverage will be able to stay consistent and not subject to single points of failure, ensuring that users will not be affected by any connectivity issues. A projection of $1.37 billion in growth was reported by MarketsandMarkets and the eSim market is also set to grow to $4 billion by 2027. The combination of eSIM and blockchain represents a revolutionary shift in mobile network infrastructure. By decentralizing networks, users will enjoy lower prices with higher security. As blockchain adoption becomes more widespread in the telco industry, we should expect to see that decentralized networks becoming more readily available and unseating traditional operators as the dominant option, though it is also exciting to see how these innovations will go on to drive new transformations to the landscape of wireless networks across the globe and how traditional providers will evolve alongside these up and coming options.
