Table of Links Abstract and Introduction Related Works Methodology Results Limitations and Future Works Conclusion, Acknowledgments, and References A Hyperparameters and Settings B Metric: Weighted F1-Score C Architectural Details D Performance Benchmarking E Contingency Table: Baseline vs. Text-STILT 4 Results 4.1 RQ1: Performance Improvement Text-STILT was found to outperform Baseline, at a level of statistical significance. Figure 3 and Table 4 show the performance distribution of each approach, with 10 random restarts each. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test resulted in p-values of 0.193 and 0.0273 for Baseline vs. Image-STILT and Baseline vs. Text-STILT, respectively. To our knowledge, Text-STILT is the first approach to successfully incorporate supplementary unimodal data into the training of multimodal meme classifiers showing a statistically significant performance improvement. However, our results do not indicate why Text-STILT was effective. We posit that while each meme’s semantics rely on both the image and text modalities, memes that contain longer texts and/or a textual structure that hints at the meme’s overall sentiment are more accurately classified by Text-STILT (see examples in Table 5). Consider the meme in Table 5(b): While the negative component is represented visually, that is, the bottom image segment, the structure of the text “what people think... what it really is like...” strongly suggests a negative inversion of something normally considered to be positive. Thus, its negative sentiment could be inferred largely from text alone. More rigorous investigation of the relationship between text and meme sentiment analysis is warranted. Although Text-STILT significantly outperformed Baseline, Image-STILT did not. Although Image-STILT shows higher mean, maximum, and minimum performance than Baseline, the distribution (see the violin plot in Figure 3) indicates that the two performed similarly. This could be attributed to the distinct role of visual symbols in memes, which derive their meaning from popular usage rather than literal connotations. Consider the memes in Table 3, each made using highly popular meme templates: Success Kid [2] and Bad Luck Brian [3], respectively. These have come to symbolise specific meanings through online usage, which is distinct from what is literally shown. In the case of Bad Luck Brian, see Table 3(d), a teenage boy smiling in a portrait does not inherently convey tragedy, or misfortune, but this connotation stemmed from the template’s usage in online discourse. In contrast, the unimodal images in Table 3 show a visual language that is less culturally specific, i.e. a serene beach has positive connotations and a disfigured zombie-esque head conveys negative ones. The cultural specificity of visual symbols in memes likely contributed to Image-STILT’s lack of significant performance improvement. These may explain similar observations by Suryawanshi et al. (2020), as discussed in Section 2.2, and would suggest that the transfer of visual sentiment skills from unimodal images to multimodal meme classifiers may be inherently limited. 4.2 RQ2: Limited Labelled Memes We found that Text-STILT significantly improves performance over Baseline across varying amounts of labelled meme availability between 50% and 80% (shown in Figure 4b). Within this range, while both intermediate training approaches consistently showed higher mean performance than Baseline, only Text-STILT showed a significant performance improvement and Image-STILT did not; p-values were 0.000109 for Baseline vs. Text-STILT and 0.0723 for Baseline vs. Image-STILT, respectively. Based on these measurements, we found that Text-STILT was still able to outperform Baseline while using only 60% of the available labelled memes. Figure 5 shows the performance distribution of Baseline with 100% memes available and Text-STILT with 50% and 60% memes available. We also noted that neither Image-STILT nor Text-STILT was found to significantly improve performance over Baseline across the entire range of availability of labelled memes from 5% to 80%. Figure 4 shows the mean performance and standard deviation of Baseline, Image-STILT, and TextSTILT across this range. When hypothesis testing is applied across the entire range, neither ImageSTILT nor Text-STILT showed statistically significant improvements over Baseline, with p values of 0.667 and 0.985, respectively. Although Text-STILT performed better than Baseline, the difference is small. Contemporary approaches show similar small differences in performance (see Appendix D). Furthermore, 41% of memes in the testing set were not correctly classified by either Text-STILT and Baseline (see Appendix E). This suggests that a significant portion of memes remain a challenge to classify. This challenge might be addressed by combining TextSTILT with other supplementary training steps.

Breaking Down Meme Sentiment Analysis: Text-STILT Triumphs in Performance Study

Unstable Protocol's Pioneering Leap Take into consideration a scenario in which the conventional boundaries of banking are not just stretched, but also completely rethought. This is not only a pipe dream in the realm of digital banking; rather, it is rapidly becoming a reality, particularly in light of the emergence of decentralised finance (DeFi). Not only is this transformation a narrative about technology, but it is also a story about ambition, the struggle to overcome obstacles, and the search for a financial system that offers power to everyone. Today, we are going to discuss Unstable Protocol, a project that is at the core of the Liquid Restaking Token Finance (LRTfi) industry, as well as its most recent achievement, which is a significant investment round that will alter the manner in which we perceive and make use of digital assets. Good news greeted the DeFi community as they awoke on morning of March 27, 2024, Unstable Protocol had declared that they had successfully completed a seed fundraising round, which resulted in an investment of $2.5 million. This initiative aims to change the landscape of LRTfi, and has gained investment from a considerable number of funds that are associated with Ethereum, including Lattice and Laser Digital (Nomura Group), Blockchain Founders Fund, and several other funds. This significant investment will not only provide Unstable Protocol with the necessary resources to further develop their platform, but it also serves as a validation of the potential impact that their project could have on the decentralized finance space. The Essence of LRTfi and Unstable's Vision LRTfi stands at the intersection of innovation and utility in DeFi enabling users to employ liquid staking and restaking tokens in novel yield strategies for enhanced returns using this approach Unstable Protocol layer for this burgeoning market, particularly focusing on (re)staked Ether.  The LRT market has gone from being nonexistent to being valued at around $50 billion, which provides as a sense of the significance of Unstable's undertaking despite the fact that it has risen drastically. This fast ascent highlights the unrealized potential and the insatiable appetite for innovation that exists within the world of decentralised finance. It is the pioneering usage of zkOracles that is at the heart of Unstable Protocol's approach. This utilisation improves the DeFi usefulness for the LRT and LST ETH market. This technological innovation is not only a technical accomplishment; rather, it is a strategic move that aims to bring the whole DeFi ecosystem to new heights of efficiency and security. The fact that Unstable has formed partnerships with platforms like as Axelar and technology solutions that are driven by Succinct Labs demonstrates the company's dedication to not just engaging in the public finance field but also leading it. Final Thoughts: The Journey Continues The community of decentralised finance enthusiasts is waiting with bated breath as Unstable Protocol releases its testnet. The path that lies ahead is replete with opportunities, obstacles, and the promise of a financial system that is more transparent and effective for all parties involved. With the support of forward-thinking individuals and the power of ground-breaking technology, Unstable is on the verge of completely redefining the future of distributed finance.

KODA's Milestone in Digital Asset Custody By handling over 8 trillion won, or over $6 billion USD in assets under management, Korea Digital Asset Custodian (KODA) has accomplished a noteworthy milestone and demonstrated its leadership in digital asset custody in APAC region. This accomplishment showcases the worldwide influence and robust presence of KODA in the digital financial industry in South Korea. With the help of Hashed, Haechi Labs, and KB Kookmin Bank, this financial giant has made KODA a reliable and secure partner for over 50 corporate clients that manage over 200 wallets. There is more development to be made by the country. With the scheduled enactment in June 2024, the Digital Asset Basic Act (DABA) will usher South Korea into a future where blockchain technology is not merely an experimental element but an essential part of the financial sector. It will do this by creating regulations for exchanges and creating new markets for digital securities. The Korea Digital Asset Custodian (KODA) catapulted to the forefront signifying an 80% command of the nation's market share by June 2023. Furthermore, the established financial institutions are actively embracing the shift rather than merely observing it. By acquiring shares in KDAC, Shinhan Bank is demonstrating how traditional banking and cutting-edge blockchain technology can coexist. With these organizations realizing how important custodians like KODA are to the management and protection of assets in this emerging industry, South Korea is establishing itself as a global leader in digital finance. Alongside the acceleration, cultural innovation is also being witnessed, as businesses like as Cube Entertainment are entering the metaverse, creating a "K-culture complex" in The Sandbox, and fusing entertainment and digital assets together. It's evident how South Korea is leading the way in the digital asset revolution rather than merely taking part in it. Growth and Leadership KODA was formed in November 2020 by Hashed, KB Kookmin Bank, and Haechi Labs. The corporation went from having 2.3 trillion won in assets under control to 8 trillion won in just six months. KODA now holds an 80% market share in South Korea's digital asset custody industry, with more than 200 wallets and 50 corporate clients. Strategic Leadership Combining his knowledge of technology and banking, CEO Jo Jin-seok guides KODA through the challenging world of digital finance. With a foundation of strict security and compliance to rules, his leadership cultivates innovation and gets KODA ready for impending changes in the business. Maintaining the company's development and innovation depends on such forward-thinking governance. Adjusting to Regulatory Shifts In light of the impending elections in South Korea, which may signal policy shifts, KODA is actively working to create a regulatory environment that is favorable to digital finance while promoting investor safety. Political parties' corporate digital investments and the launch of Bitcoin spot ETFs signal a potential revolution in the market. Participating in these talks and being adaptable to changing legislation demonstrate KODA's dedication to institutionalizing digital assets, which benefits the firm as well as fostering a more safe and lively market. Global Influence and Vision The global trend towards the institutionalization of digital assets emphasizes the necessity of custodians such as KODA. CEO Jin-seok Cho hopes that KODA would improve the environment for digital assets, particularly if Korea authorizes a Bitcoin spot ETF. Driving Innovation The significance of addressing investor protection and asset value at an early stage is highlighted by Simon Kim of Hashed. In addition to its technological expertise and compliance, KODA's involvement in South Korea's Web3.0 environment positions it to play a major role in the advancement of digital asset exchange-traded funds. Closing Thoughts In my opinion, KODA's accomplishment of overseeing more than 8 trillion won in assets under management demonstrates not just its leadership in digital asset custody but also the quick development and widespread acceptance of digital banking in South Korea and throughout the world. This milestone—which translates into an 80% market share—shows how much KODA is trusted and relied upon by top financial institutions and business clients. KODA has become a leader in the digital custody space thanks to the partnership of cutting-edge companies like Hashed and Haechi Labs with established financial institutions like KB Kookmin Bank. Through this collaboration, KODA's reputation as a reliable custodian is reinforced, and it also heralds the further use and incorporation of blockchain technology into traditional financial services. With the passage of the Digital Asset Basic Act, South Korea's proactive legislative strategy has established a precedent for the institutionalization of blockchain technology and ensured that digital assets are acknowledged and subject to regulation in the financial sector. This progressive approach guarantees that the country stays at the forefront of digital banking, opening the door for further advancements and market expansions.

Table of Links Abstract & Introduction Methodology Experiments Related Work Conclusion and Future Work, Acknowledgment and References 3 EXPERIMENTS We evaluate our proposed methods on two application domains of product bundling, i.e., fashion outfit and music playlist. We are particularly interested in answering the research questions as follow: • RQ1: Does the proposed CLHE method beat the leading methods? • RQ2: Are the key modules, i.e., hierarchical transformer and contrastive learning, effective? • RQ3: How does out method work in countering the problems of cold-start items, modality missing, noise and sparsity of partial bundle? How the detailed configurations affect its performance and how about the computation complexity? 3.1 Experimental Settings There are various application scenarios that are suitable for product bundling, such as e-commerce, travel package, meal, etc., each of which has one or multiple public datasets. However, only datasets that include all the multimodal item features, user feedback data, and bundle data can be used to evaluate our method. Therefore, we choose two representative domains, i.e., fashion outfit and music playlist. We use the POG [11] for fashion outfit. For the music playlist, we use the Spotify [7] dataset for the bundle-item affiliations, and we acquire the user feedback data from the Last.fm dataset [2]. Since the average bundle size is quite small in POG (it makes sense for fashion outfit), we re-sample a second version POG_dense which has denser user feedback connections for each item. In contrast, the average bundle size in Spotify dataset is large, thus we sample a sparser version Spotify_sparse, which has smaller average bundle size. To be noted, we keep the integrity of all the bundles in all the versions, which means we do not corrupt any bundles during the sampling. For each dataset, we randomly split all the bundles into training/validation/testing set with the ratio of 8:1:1. The statistics of the datasets are shown in Table 1. We use the popular ranking protocols of Recall@K and NDCG@K as the evaluation metric, where K=20. Due to the new formulation of our work, there are no previous works that have exactly same setting with ours. Therefore, we pick several leading methods and adapt them to our settings. For fair comparison, all the baseline methods use all the three types of extracted features that are same with our method. In addition, they all use the same negative log-likelihood loss function. 3.1.1 Compared Methods. [51] is an auto-encoder model which uses an average pooling to aggregate the items’ representations to get the bundle representation. • MultiDAE [31] is an variational auto-encoder model which employ the variational inference on top of the MultiDAE method. • MultiVAE [21] treats each bundle as a sequence and uses bidirectional LSTM to learn the bundle representation. • Hypergraph [54] formulates each bundle a hyper-graph and devises a GCN model to learn the bundle representation. • Bi-LSTM [3, 46] tailors a transformer to capture the item interactions and generate the bundle representation. • Transformer is the version that we add bundle-level contrastive loss to the above Transformer model. • TransformerCL 3.2 Overall Performance Comparison (RQ1) Table 2 shows the overall performance comparison between our model CLHE and the baseline methods. We have the following observations. First, our method beats all the baselines on all the datasets, demonstrating the competitive performance of our model. Second, over the baselines, Transformer and TransformerCL achieve the best performance, showing that the self-attention mechanism and contrastive learning can well preserve the correlations among items within the bundle, thus yielding good bundle representations. Third, comparing the results between different versions of dataset, we find that: 1) the performance on POG_dense is much larger than that on POG due to denser user-item interactions, demonstrating that user feedback information is quite helpful to the performance; 2) the performance of Spotify_sparse is relatively smaller than that on Spotify since the sparser bundle-item affiliation data, justifying our hypothesis that large-scale and high-quality bundle dataset is vital to bundle construction. Finally, we have an interesting observation that the performance improvements on the four datasets is negatively correlated with "#Avr.B/I", as shown in Table 1, in another word, in scenarios that items are included in fewer bundles (i.e., the dataset include more sparse items), our method performs even better. This phenomenon further justifies the advantage of our method in countering the issue of sparse items. 3.3 Ablation Study of Key Modules (RQ2) To further evaluate the effectiveness of the key modules of our model, we conduct a list of ablation studies and the results are shown in Table 3. First and foremost, we aim to justify the effectiveness of the user feedback features. Thereby, we remove the user feedback features from our model (i.e., remove p𝑖 from f𝑖 ) and build an ablated version of model, i.e., w/o user feedback. According to the result in Table 3, after removing user feedback features, the performance reduces clearly, verifying that user feedback feature is significant for bundle construction. Second, we would like to evaluate whether each component of the hierarchical encoder is useful. We progressively remove the two self-attention modules from our model and replace them with an vanilla average pooling, thus yielding three ablated models, i.e., w/o item, w/o bundle, and w/o both. The results in Table 3 show that the removal of either selfattention modules causes performance drop. These results further verify the efficacy of our self-attention-based hierarchical encoder framework. Third, to justify the contribution of contrastive learning, we progressively remove the two levels of contrastive loss, thus generating three ablations, i.e., w/o item, w/o bundle, and w/o both. Table 3 depicts the results, which demonstrate the both contrastive losses are helpful, especially on the sparser version of datasets. 3.4 Model Study (RQ3) To explicate more details and various properties of our method, we further conduct a list of model studies. One of the main challenges for bundle construction is cold-start items that have never been included in previous bundles. It is difficult to directly evaluate the methods solely based on cold-start items since there are few testing bundles where both the input and result partial bundles purely consist of coldstart items. Nevertheless, we come up with an alternative way to indirectly test how these methods perform against cold-start items. Specifically, we remove all the cold-start items and just keep the warm items in the testing set, i.e., the warm setting. We test our method and all the baseline models on this warm setting. The results shown in Table 4 illustrate that: 1) the performance of all the models on the warm setting are much better than that of the warm-cold hybrid setting (the normal setting as shown in Table 2), exhibiting that the existence of cold-start items significantly deteriorate the performance; and 2) the performance gap between CLHE and the strongest baseline in the hybrid setting is obviously much larger than that on the warm setting, implying that our method’s strength in dealing with cold-start items. 3.4.1 Cold-start Items. Another merit of our approach is that the contrastive learning is able to counter the sparsity and noise issue when the input partial bundle is incomplete. To elicit this property, we corrupt the testing dataset to make the input partial bundle sparse and noisy. Specifically, we randomly remove certain portion of items from the input partial bundle to make them sparser. To make the partial bundle more noisy, we randomly sample some items from the whole item set and add them to the bundle. Then we test our model and the model without both levels of contrastive loss, and the performance curves are shown in Figure 3, where the x-axis is the ratio of bundle size after corruption compared with the original bundle, and the ratio=1 corresponds to the original clean data. From this figure, we can derive the conclusion that: 1) with the sparsity and noise degree increasing, both our method and baselines’ performance drops; 2) our method still outperforms baselines even under quite significant sparsity or noise rate, such as removing 50% seed items or adding 50% more noisy items; and 3) the contrastive loss in our model is able to combat the parse and noise bundle issue to some extent. 3.4.2 Sparsity and Noise in Bundle. Data augmentation is the crux to contrastive learning. We search over multiple different data augmentation strategies at both item- and bundle-level contrastive learning, in order to find the best-performing setting. In Table 5, we present the performance of CLHE under various data augmentations at both item- or bundle-level. Overall speaking, data augmentation methods may affect the performance and proper selection is important for good results. 3.4.3 Data Augmentations. Self-attention calculates every pair of instances in a set, i.e., features of an item or items of a bundle, thus it usually suffers from high computational complexity. We record the time used for every training epoch and the time used from the beginning of training till convergence, and the records of our method and two baselines, i.e., MultiDAE and Transformer, are illustrated in Figure 4. The bar chart reveals that on the one hand, our method is computationally heavy since it takes the longest time for each training epoch; on the other hand, our method takes the least training time to reach convergence on three datasets. In conclusion, our method is effective and efficient during training, while the inherent complexity induced by hierarchical self-attention may impose the inference slower. We argue that various self-attention acceleration approaches could be considered in practice, which is out of the scope of this work. 3.4.4 Computational Complexity. We would like to further illustrate some cases to portrait how the hierarchical encoder learn the association of multimodal features and the multiple items’ representations. Specifically, for both item- and bundle-level self-attention modules, we take the last layer’s output representation as each feature’s (item’s) representation, and calculate the cosine similarity score with the whole item (bundle). We cherry pick some example items and bundles, as shown in Figure 5. The results of feature-item similarity exhibit that the three type of features could play distinctive roles in different items, showing the importance of all the three types of features. For the item-bundle similarity results, we can find that items do not equally contribute to their affiliated bundles, thus it is crucial to model the bundle composition patterns. Here we just intuitively illustrate some hints about the bundle representation learning, more sophisticate analysis, such as feature pair or item pair co-effects, is left for future work. 3.4.5 Case Study. We also present the model’s performance change w.r.t. the key hyper-parameters, i.e., the temperature 𝜏 in contrastive loss and the weights 𝛼1, 𝛼2 for the two contrastive losses. The curves in Figure 6 reveal that the model is still sensitive to these hyper-parameters, and proper tuning is required to achieve optimal performance. 3.4.6 Hyper-parameter Analysis.

In the world of content-led GTM, it's not just about accessibility; it's about satisfying the consumer's hunger for authenticity. To integrate content marketing into GTM strategy, follow these steps to imbibe content rightly into your strategic blueprint: 1. Know Your Audience: Understanding your target audience and creating buyer personas to guide your content efforts is like an imperative gut check. At this stage, focus on retrieving a wealth of information because modern marketing is based on how well you know your audience and ICPs. Given the long B2B sales cycle, drench your feet in doing extra homework, including the challenges and requirements of each role, such as end users, CFOs, and operations leads, in your buyer persona. Most importantly, forge meaningful connections by tailoring content to demographics, pain points, and interests. 2. Stay Ahead with Competitive Insights with a Refined Messaging Your product and messaging are unique to your organization. Serve authenticity by making your unique messaging streamlined across all channels. To do that, analyze competitors' strategies to identify gaps and opportunities for setting your brand apart. Take this problem for instance, : Affordable running shoes with necessary support are scarce, given the high prices ($100+). Buyer Challenge : All shoes in your product line are priced at $80 or less, ensuring accessibility without compromising quality. Your Product Solution Some options are below $80, but sacrifice support and durability, falling short of our comprehensive offering. Competitor Solution: In crafting your messaging, always consider: "How would my target buyer perceive or understand this?" It's the key to ensuring your focus remains on addressing their needs. 3. Tailor GTM Content Plan: Effective deployment is critical for content to excel in its performance. Create a content marketing plan leveraging your GTM strategy, addressing your audience's needs at each stage of the buyer's journey. It lets you expand your palette of content types and bucket them. For example, SEO content attracts new visitors. Case studies and webinars engage those considering your product. Free trials funnel down & convince potential customers to commit. 4. Align marketing channels to your ideal audience: Now, you need to meet your prospects. Choosing marketing channels that align with how your target audience consumes content makes sense. For instance, if your ideal customer uses YouTube but not Instagram or Facebook, you should focus on YouTube ads rather than paid social posts. 5. Collaborate Across Teams: Collaboration across teams is the linchpin of a successful content-led GTM strategy. When sales and customer service teams are in sync, the resonance of your messaging is amplified, creating a profound impact on your overall strategy. Let’s say, sales teams armed with insights from content-led strategies can engage customers more effectively. They can leverage educational content to address customer queries and have a wealth of data to funnel prospects. 6. KPI Tracking & Laser Focused Objectives: From the get-go, define marketing objectives clearly and track KPIs for a measurable assessment of content effectiveness. If you fall short of expectations, tweak your content-led go-to-market strategy. Regularly revisit the steps (at least quarterly) to ensure your research and persona stay current. Examples of Successful Content-led GTM Strategy In the physical world, every process delivers a unique result.

Content-Led Go-To-Market Strategy for Your Product Triumph (+Examples)

Gamers from Peru’s male and female teams dominated the 2023 Pan American eSports Games in Santiago de Chile, securing gold medals in both categories. Dota 2 The male team by defeating Argentina with a convincing 3-0 score, while the women with a score of 3-1. Dota 2 is a popular real-time strategy (RTS) video game that is part of the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) genre. clinched the gold medal also triumphed over Argentina Francis Puppi, the Player Community Manager for the Peruvian Association of Electronic Sports and Video Games (APDEV), spoke with this week to explain the significance of this triumph in positioning Peru at the forefront of the global eSports stage. Peru Reports “This is placing us as a strong country in the region, especially in Dota 2. Furthermore, the female victory is a significant step for inclusion within eSports,” he said. According to the spokesman, the teams “had been training for some time.” He said, “They already had previous experience, knew each other well, and had a full understanding of their strengths and weaknesses.” From November 2 to 4, the first-ever Pan American Games were held in Chile, organized by the Global Esports Federation and Panam Sports. The event took place concurrently with the 2023 Pan American Games. eSports The competition not only featured Dota 2 but also eFootball (formerly known as PES), each with their respective male and female categories. The competition included 120 players from 25 countries across the Americas, including Argentina, Chile, El Salvador, Cuba, and Peru. The impact of this victory on the future of eSports in Peru Puppi told that the PanAm victory “opens up a good opportunity to change the perception of eSports in our country, especially when referring to a ‘traditional’ audience unfamiliar with this environment.” Peru Reports “The paradigms related to electronic sports have always existed in our country, and APDEV has worked since its foundation to progressively change them, especially by addressing the concerns and doubts that parents may have, especially if their children have a strong interest in being active participants,” he said. In its “Global Entertainment & Media Outlook 2019-2023” report, PwC Peru’s video game market would increase 20% annually, generating US$147 million by 2023. Region-wide, the consulting firm said the video games market in Latin America would grow 10% annually, reaching US$3.59 billion by 2023. predicted APDEV, an NGO dedicated to promoting the professionalization of electronic sports, inaugurated “In-Game” in late October, Peru’s first high-performance center for eSports. The space aims to discover emerging talents and support Peruvian professional players in various titles such as Dota 2, League of Legends, FIFA, Counter-Strike, among others. Puppi explained that although the championship-winning Dota 2 teams couldn’t use the facility ahead of the Pan American games because it hadn’t been completed yet, the idea is for Peru to have a “favorable environment for the growth of elite players” from now on. Currently, APDEV is finishing the implementation of “VIP zones” in In-Game, which, as Puppi explained, are “specially designed spaces for professional players with Core i9 processors and RTX 4080 graphics cards.” “We are excited about the positive impact this high-performance center will have on our eSports community and look forward to seeing the next generation of stars flourish in this exciting field,” he added.

The Challenges of Decentralized Trading Platforms In the world of decentralized finance (DeFi), traders are often caught in a balancing act between user-friendliness and the sophisticated features that offer the best returns. On one side, traditional decentralized exchanges (DEXs) offer an alternative to centralized platforms, giving more control to users. However, the complexity of their interfaces can be daunting for many, especially newcomers. Traders are frequently met with cluttered dashboards, making the swift and intuitive execution of trades a challenging endeavor. Moreover, as users diversify their portfolios across various tokens and markets, keeping track of assets becomes an intricate task. The decentralized nature of these platforms, while ensuring security and transparency, can sometimes leave users grappling with scattered assets. Such fragmentation often leads to traders spending excessive time navigating the platform and less time making critical trading decisions. There's a clear demand in the market for an interface that seamlessly merges the power of decentralization with the simplicity of traditional trading platforms. Decentralized Finance: Navigating the Trade-Offs Between Sophistication and Simplicity remarked Berk Ozdogan, Head of Strategy at Dexalot. "Simple Swap has the potential to become the perfect conduit for the most capital-efficient liquidity to get to traders," As the DeFi sector grapples with the push and pull of advanced features and user-friendly interfaces, this sentiment captures the essence of a larger movement within the decentralized finance ecosystem. DeFi traders find themselves torn between two worlds. One offers the allure of advanced trading capabilities often seen in traditional financial markets, while the other promises a seamless and intuitive user experience. But what if there was a platform that married these two seemingly conflicting ideals? Dexalot: Pioneering the Future of Decentralized Trading Marrying DEX Simplicity with CEX Features Dexalot, an innovative decentralized exchange (DEX) functioning on an Avalanche Subnet, has unveiled its answer to this quandary with two groundbreaking features: SimpleSwap and SimpleView. Designed to elevate the trading experience, these features seamlessly merge the uncomplicated nature of a standard DEX with the advanced trading mechanisms of a centralized exchange (CEX). SimpleSwap, launching on September 19, replicates the familiarity of AMM atomic swaps predominant in the DeFi space but brings to the fore the advantages of a central limit order book (CLOB) exchange—tight spreads and unmatched pricing. Through this fusion, traders can effortlessly switch between tokens on a streamlined and clutter-free interface, enriching the existing order book model. Empowering Traders Across Platforms SimpleSwap's appeal extends beyond Dexalot's boundaries. The feature's compatibility with third-party aggregators means users aren’t confined to the Dexalot platform for their trading activities. This integration with various aggregators ensures that wherever users opt to trade, they can access the unparalleled onchain pricing that Dexalot champions for assets, including but not limited to WETH.e and BTC.b. A Bird’s Eye View of Portfolios Navigating a CLOB exchange can sometimes translate into a labyrinthine challenge for traders juggling assets across different markets. SimpleView is Dexalot's answer to this complexity. It offers traders a quick-glance account abstraction tool, streamlining portfolio management by providing a holistic snapshot of their assets. By resolving the tracking intricacies that traders face, SimpleView ensures that they can effortlessly discern their portfolio's value and composition. Endorsement and Growth Matthew Schmenk from Ava Labs lauds the endeavor, stating, "Dexalot's central limit order book architecture makes for some of the best swap pricing in all of blockchain and with SimpleSwap, Dexalot should win a lot of swap routes and volumes.” This assertion aligns with the platform's impressive growth metrics. Since its inception on the Avalanche Subnet, Dexalot has recorded over 17 million transactions and witnesses daily trading volumes reaching $5M. Spearheaded by a team of Wall Street veterans, the platform is positioned as a formidable player in the decentralized exchange arena. Their recent recognition, a significant incentive award from Avalanche’s Multiverse Fund, further underscores their rising prominence in the DeFi space. About Dexalot For those seeking the fusion of traditional centralized exchange dynamics with decentralized functionalities, Dexalot stands as a beacon.

After the successful touchdown of ’s lander in the south of the Moon, all eyes are on India’s space program. Already, ISRO and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launch LUPEX, a successor to Chandrayaan-3, in 2026. Chandrayaan-3 have decided to jointly In the limelight is also startup ecosystem, which has secured its position as a formidable contender on the global stage. According to recent insights by on August 11, 2023, India ranks seventh in terms of funding within the international SpaceTech landscape for the year. India’s SpaceTech Tracxn The Indian SpaceTech sector’s journey has been one of transformation, driven by the sector’s privatization in 2020. Previously dominated by governmental players, the sector has witnessed a significant surge in private sector participation post-privatization. Private entities are now actively involved in crucial aspects of research, manufacturing, and fabrication of rockets and satellites, fostering a vibrant ecosystem of innovation. The funding trajectory of the Indian SpaceTech ecosystem tells a compelling story of growth and resilience. From a modest $35 million in funds raised between 2010 and 2019, the sector experienced a meteoric rise in 2020, securing a remarkable $28 million in funding. This trend continued with exponential growth, reaching $96 million in 2021 and an impressive $112 million in 2022, marking a 17% increase from the previous year. This steady expansion in funding sets the Indian SpaceTech sector apart from other industries affected by funding challenges and macroeconomic fluctuations. Building on its upward trajectory, the Indian SpaceTech sector has already attracted $62 million in funding for the year 2023, reflecting a substantial 60% increase compared to the same period last year. This exceptional growth trend is expected to continue in the upcoming months. India’s emergence as a potent player in SpaceTech is further highlighted by its impressive satellite deployment.
