Revolutionizing Inter-Blockchain Communication

Telos Foundation

Trustless Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) is a cutting-edge technology that holds the potential to revolutionize the way different blockchains interact with each other. It’s a major advancement over current IBC solutions as it eliminates the need for intermediaries and provides a secure and trust-free way for blockchains to communicate with one another. Telos’ vision for Trustless IBC is to provide a scalable and highly efficient solution that fully leverages the benefits of IBC, providing the best possible user experience for developers and users alike. This technology was built by the UX Network team and will initially interconnect all Antelope coalition chains in a trustless way. This technology is important in enabling Telos to achieve its vision of a truly decentralized, secure, and connected world. The goal is to create a network effect that has the potential to connect with other ecosystems. Multiple Side Chains Potential Trustless IBC’s capacity to support multiple side chains is one of its most alluring features. This means that developers can create new and innovative solutions by constructing new side chains that interact with the main chain, offering limitless growth and innovation opportunities. With Trustless IBC, developers are unrestricted in their ability to create solutions that take advantage of the unique benefits of each side chain. Horizontal scaling via side chains is just the tip of the iceberg, connecting these existing chains will create a network effect with the possibility of other ecosystems like Cosmos also on the horizon. App Specific Chains As a project grows, it becomes increasingly important for it to have the ability to handle larger amounts of user data and transactions. For example, as digital platforms like VirtualStaX or Appics attract more users, the challenge of handling large amounts of data and transactions becomes more pressing. Scaling a platform to meet this growing demand while maintaining security and efficiency is critical for success. This is where Telos’ Trustless IBC comes into play, offering a solution that enables these platforms to have their own side chain that operates independently, yet securely connected to other blockchain networks. With Telos’ Trustless IBC, these platforms can scale to accommodate millions of users without sacrificing performance or security, providing a secure and scalable solution for their future growth. Use Case Specific Chains Use-case specific side chains have the potential to revolutionize the way transactions are made and processed. For instance, a privacy chain specifically designed for secure transactions would provide a much-needed solution to users who value their financial privacy. Transactions made on this chain would still use TLOS but would require code changes and technologies such as ZK snarks to obscure transaction data, making it difficult for anyone to track and monitor the transactions. With Telos’ Trustless IBC, new chains like a privacy chain can be easily added to the network, providing greater flexibility and scalability for users who require specific use-cases. This ability to add new chains and connect them securely with our transparent mainnet makes Telos’ Trustless IBC an ideal solution for developing use-case specific side chains and unlocking their full potential. Unlimited TPS and Scalable Solutions Another major benefit of Trustless IBC is its ability to provide unlimited transaction per second (TPS) and scalable solutions via horizontal scaling. With Trustless IBC, developers can build high-performance solutions that are designed to meet the specific needs of their users. This makes it possible to create fast, efficient, and scalable solutions that can handle the increasing demands of the modern world. Specific Use Cases for Developers Trustless IBC has numerous specific use cases that developers can use to create new and innovative solutions. Developers, for example, can build solutions that enable the transfer of digital assets between blockchains, thereby creating new investment opportunities and opening new markets. Developers can use Telos to create decentralized exchanges, prediction markets, gaming applications, and more. These applications can then be connected to the Telos network, leveraging the benefits of decentralized technology and the ability to transfer data and assets between side chains, without requiring users to trust a third party. Multichain Exchanges / Atomic Swaps Through implementing Telos’ Trustless IBC, both multi-chain exchanges and atomic swaps could gain numerous benefits. For atomic swaps, Telos’ Trustless IBC could provide increased security and reliability, making it easier and more secure to execute swaps across different chains. The trustless nature of the IBC connection reduces the risk of transactions being compromised, and the ability to create use-case specific side chains for added security and efficiency. Telos’ Trustless IBC offers a more flexible and scalable solution for atomic swaps, allowing for easy integration of new chains and assets as the ecosystem evolves. For multi-chain exchanges, Telos’ Trustless IBC offers a more seamless and secure experience for trading digital assets across different blockchains. No longer relying on slow and potentially vulnerable centralized bridges, users can securely and instantly move assets through IBC in a trust-free way without intermediaries, reducing the risk of lost or stolen assets in transit. This provides a more comprehensive and user-friendly platform, while also allowing multi-chain exchanges to add new chains and assets more easily and efficiently, thereby increasing their competitiveness and appeal to users. Trustless Bridges Trustless bridges, such as Telos’ Trustless IBC, offer a major advantage over traditional bridges that require oracles and trusted intermediaries. The trustless nature of the connection between blockchains eliminates the risk of transactions being compromised or tampered with, as there is no need to rely on a trusted third-party to act as an intermediary. Trustless bridges are also faster and more efficient, as they eliminate the need for potentially slow and insecure centralized bridges, and allow for seamless, instant, and secure asset transfer between blockchains. Historically, centralized bridges and oracles have been vulnerable to security breaches, leading to significant losses. Telos’ Trustless IBC solves this problem by eliminating the need for middlemen and providing a secure and trustless connection between blockchain networks. This enhances the security of cross-chain transactions, reducing the risk of assets being lost or stolen. Below you can find a list of historical examples of these security vulnerabilities and the losses. Conclusion Telos’ vision for Trustless IBC is to provide a highly efficient, scalable, decentralized, and secure solution that opens a whole new world of possibilities for developers. With its ability to support multiple side chains, unlimited TPS, and its wide range of use cases, Trustless IBC is set to be a game-changer in the world of blockchain technology. By leveraging this powerful technology built by the UX Network, Telos has the potential to significantly impact the future of decentralized technology.

Sekur Private Data Will Soon Be Launching Its Swiss Hosted SekurVPN For Privacy Enthusiasts

Sekur Private Data Ltd

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) announced they will be providing a private, non-big tech VPN solution. Sekur is a US-listed cybersecurity and internet privacy company with roots in Switzerland that provides private and secure communications solutions. It uses its own servers, military-grade encryption security and combines it with its proprietary encryption and Swiss data privacy laws. The company is responding to growing demand from its existing users that have asked the company for a VPN product, and Sekur has been working on a solution for some time. Sekur has acquired all the servers needed for the encryption processing and hosting of SekurVPN in its Swiss data centers. The application for Mac clients and iOS devices is already complete, but the company decided to launch in the first week of April 2023 to include its Android version; Windows will launch shortly thereafter. The company is expected to first launch its website www.sekurvpn.com in the coming weeks. Pricing will be as follows: $7 USD/month per user or $70 USD/year per user. However, Sekur is offering a promotional price to celebrate the launch. The first 5,000 people to register will receive a 60% discount to the yearly price, the total ending up being $28/year per user for the first two years. SekurVPN was designed to help users wanting to mask their IP addresses from hackers. One example of the VPN solution in action would be a user being able to have full privacy and protection from hackers hijacking location information when a user logs into their bank or email. Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data said: "We have listened to our customers and are very excited to announce the launch of SekurVPN for late March 2023. We have high hopes for the success of SekurVPN, due to its highly private nature, since it does not use any big-tech computing or hosting and offers only Swiss IPs. Our prime directive is to provide private and secure communications for everyone, and, as we are not connected to any Big Tech platform, we offer a truly independent, private and secure means of communications without any data mining, through our proprietary technology and our secure servers based in Switzerland. We look forward to continuing to offer true data privacy to all individuals and their businesses and protect their intellectual property, and their privacy, from data miners and malicious hackers." Sekur is a closed-loop platform with layers of security and SekurVPN is an extension of its commitment to privacy. Its existing corporate products like SekurMail and SekurMessenger offer users complete privacy because its code is unavailable for the manipulation that causes hacks, and its Swiss hosting protects its users from privacy intrusive laws. With increasing breaches in security and data hacks, security and privacy are at the forefront of everyone’s mind – both corporations and individuals – and Sekur is committed to helping protect both.

Sekur Private Data Ltd. is a Cybersecurity and Internet privacy provider of Swiss hosted solutions for secure communications and secure data management. The Company distributes a suite of secure cloud-based storage, disaster recovery, document management, encrypted e-mails, and secure communication tools.

ZeroBounce CEO on Email Validation, Landing in the Inbox and Boosting Email ROI

ZeroBounce

Email marketing is effective – but you have to reach your customers’ inboxes. ZeroBounce Founder and CEO Liviu Tanase talks to Benzinga about email validation and how it helps boost email ROI. It’s hard to imagine doing business without email. From sending transactional emails to newsletters and marketing campaigns, email allows you to connect with your audience on a deeper level. However, connecting with your prospects isn’t as easy as pressing Send. Billions of emails bounce or land in spam – every day. In this interview with Benzinga, ZeroBounce Founder and CEO Liviu Tanase sheds light on the culprits and offers simple, useful tips to help you: Make the most of email validation and its benefits Optimize your campaigns so they can arrive in the inbox Convert your prospects and increase email ROI. How do you see email evolving in 2023? Email will continue to grow and be a key channel for brands to connect with their customers and prospects. The number of email users keeps increasing every year. More than half of the world population uses email in 2023, so we’ll see more companies tapping into its potential. We saw this in 2020, too. In times of economic uncertainty, businesses must focus on the channels that yield palpable results – and email is at the top of the list. What puts email at the top of the list – and how can we make it work? Email is a more personal channel than any other. Think about it: you’re reaching out to a prospect in their inbox, which is like an online home for most people. It’s where they get their most important messages. There’s less noise than on social media, so it allows for more intimate conversations. To make it work, you must show up where those prospects can see you – in the inbox. This is one of the greatest challenges businesses are facing right now. Hitting Send on an email is just the first step. Getting in the inbox is another story. What prevents senders from reaching the inbox? In a nutshell, a poor sender reputation. Much like your reputation at work, your sender reputation lets Internet service providers (ISPs) gauge how legitimate you and your emails are. If your IP or domain are associated with spam-like behavior, your chances of landing in the inbox are slim. Your emails may not even make it to the junk folder, you’ll get blocked altogether. How does ZeroBounce help with that? ZeroBounce gives you more confidence to send emails. The email validator is 99 percent accurate and scrubs your email list of bounces and other risky email contacts. Aside from that, we’ve built an entire suite of email deliverability tools so you can test your emails before you send and be sure they’re going to the inbox. Showing up there is the only way to connect with your prospects and see a boost in your conversions. If you were to suggest one crucial step to improve email deliverability, what would it be? Start with checking your email list. When your bounce rate is over 2 percent, when you get spam complaints or your emails are hitting spam traps, your sender score plummets. So, before you invest in creating impressive emails, verify your email list so those emails can reach your audience. We’ve seen the recent JPMorgan - Frank disaster, where JPMorgan purchased educational startup Frank for $175M. Frank’s founders claimed the app had more than four million users. In reality, Frank had only 300,000 users – the rest were fake. JPMorgan only realized the deception when its team sent an email to all alleged Frank users. They got a bounce rate of 72 percent! If only they took the time to validate those contacts, this catastrophe could have been avoided. What other tricks can you share to help marketers and business owners get their emails in the inbox? Once you’ve verified your email list, make it a habit. About a quarter of your email list degrades every year, so check it every few months. Then, look into testing your email deliverability. It takes only minutes to use an inbox tester to see if your email is going to land in the inbox with widely-used providers. If you want to boost your email deliverability even more, take segmentation to the next level. ZeroBounce’s Activity Data tool pinpoints your most active subscribers – people who spend time in their inboxes. It shows you which subscribers have interacted with an email in the past 30 days to a year. Segment those people, then target them with a personalized email campaign. Healthy engagement rates boost your sender reputation and increase your inbox reach. What’s new at ZeroBounce in 2023? Our entire platform is new! After more than a year of work and countless tests, we’ve just relaunched it to give people a better experience. The accuracy of our email validator is now 99 percent. Security is even better as we integrate with Okta for identity protection and we got our SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications. The interface has improved, too, and we’re getting great feedback from customers. Also, a new tool is coming soon. It’s something our customers have been asking for – and we’re almost ready to share it with everybody. For people in sales, PR, real estate or any other industry that revolves around cold emailing, it will be a huge help. Are you not getting the results you want from your email campaigns? Sign up for a ZeroBounce account and check 100 email addresses free, every month. Remove bad emails, improve your sender reputation and boost your email ROI right away. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. ZeroBounce is an award-winning email verification and deliverability platform helping 200,000+ customers land more emails in the inbox.

As Stricter Regulations Loom, Ink Finance Can Build DeFi Protocol’s Infrastructure Of Transparent And Compliant Governance

Ink Finance

By Rachael Green, Benzinga In the wake of the collapse of the world’s third-largest crypto exchange, FTX, the entire centralized crypto finance regime is facing intense scrutiny. Not only the exchanges, but also crypto lending entities, such as Genesis, are being litigated by authorities. What is particularly alarming is that such heavy handed regulatory scrutiny is likely to be extended to the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, as the official language of “just the beginning” suggests. This has brought renewed debate to the tricky question of how to incorporate stronger regulation into a space built on the concept of decentralization and autonomy. There are no easy answers just yet but one thing is for sure: the decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) in the DeFi space might need to be ready for adaptation to new compliance requirements at a moment’s notice. Ink Finance, an all-in-one DAO toolkit designed with financial DAOs in mind, is here to make that adaptability possible. Here’s a quick overview of some of the Ink Finance features that bring enhanced transparency, traceability, and accountability to financial DAOs facing an uncertain regulatory future. A Smart Contract Factory with Built-In Security, Compliance, and Risk Management Ink Finance bills its platform as a smart contract factory where DAOs can choose the most relevant organizational and operational modules on its preferred network. These modules make it possible for a financial DAO to sub task compliance and KYC to a network of regional DAOs, each with its fully autonomous governance schemes and self-regulated policies. Through such an organizational setup, a financial protocol DAO gains scalability when facing regulatory challenges. Since all user DAOs’ operations are fully demonstrable on-chain, regulators can easily trace and verify their individual compliance practice. The protocol can mitigate the risk of shutting down due to unpredictable irregularities arising from bad actors. Each one of these self-regulated user DAOs can elect and verify their trusted professionals to act as their managers, and choose their trusted KYC facilities. A range of different identity and background verification methods including biometrics and legal identity verification can be imposed upon managers and investors, to meet compliance requirements. The entire process of making such choices and the KYC/KYB “watermarks” will be fully implemented on-chain, and integrated into the DeFi protocol’s transaction framework. If the financial protocol wants to implement certain risk management rules regarding the traded products, the rules can be proposed and voted into resolution by the entire meta community, once again showing its decentralized nature. Such rules, once enacted, will be imposed on the product issuers, who must make all disclosures according to the rules. In the case of forced liquidation of collaterals, the issuers must allow the protocol’s elected representatives to hold the controlling positions that allows for collateral disposal. Plug-and-Play Agility Ink Finance’s modulated platform integrates both governance and financial functions, allowing financial DAOs to build, manage and adapt their structure all in one platform. This all-in-one solution closes a lot of the gaps that leave DAOs exposed to a lot of inevitable risks if they have to integrate multiple different dApps. DAOs can pick and choose different management units, like a treasury committee, investment committee, or funding committee, without worrying about how to piece them together into one governance structure, which itself can be customized to fit their mission and stage of growth. As the DAO evolves, it can add and remove these components as needed, adapting the structure to keep up with the DAOs dynamic needs. That includes the flexibility to adapt to changing regulatory frameworks without having to completely dismantle the structure. The DAO can simply add or customize the relevant pieces as needed to meet compliance. A Balance of Power Across Stakeholders As some of the recent investigations and lawsuits sweeping the DeFi world have shown, the integrity and security of a DAO often hinges on accountability. To address this, Ink Finance delegates voting power using the principle of stake-to-govern. In order to vote, members must stake the DAO’s token so that they are financially invested in the integrity of the DAO. While establishing “having skin in the game”, this mechanism also effectively raises the barrier to Sybil attacks. To further prevent whale attacks, Ink Finance offers the ability for each sub-DAO to set up badges. Badges allow each sub ecosystem to establish its own requirements for who can vote, and the badges are typically earned or assigned according to the sub DAO’s predefined metrics. The end result is a robust yet agile platform for building and managing a financial DAO that’s capable of addressing a lot of the risks made apparent in the slate of recent investigations and lawsuits. This is meant to empower them to adapt to new regulations quickly. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. Ink Finance is a DAO governance toolset, enabling all kinds of ecosystems to establish governance economy, manage internal finance, and connect with DeFi investors everywhere, through a no-code user experience. As a Financial SaaS built on blockchain, Ink Finance has the most comprehensive financial engineering tools to support on-chain issuance, settlement, clearing, and analysis of Non-Fungible Financial Products.Ink Finance is backed by heavy weight eco builders such as Republic Crypto and DeFi Alliance, partnered with cutting-edge solution providers such as Humanode, Astra, SolvFinance, Polytrade and deBridge, etc. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

Foresight Changzhou Wins Outstanding Enterprise Award from China Israel Changzhou Innovation Park

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd.

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: FRSX) (“Foresight” or the “Company”), an innovator in automotive vision, announces today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Foresight Changzhou Automotive Ltd. (“Foresight Changzhou”) won the Outstanding Enterprise in International Cooperation award from China Israel Changzhou Innovation Park, Jiangsu Province (the “CICP”). Earlier last month, the CICP held the 2023 work mobilization conference. During the conference, and as a recognition of Foresight Changzhou's significant contribution to international cooperation, the CICP named it the "Outstanding Enterprise in International Cooperation." Foresight Changzhou was one of five companies to win this award, out of nearly 200 companies in the CICP. "We are honored to have been recognized by the CICP for our hard work and efforts. Over the last year, we have signed a commercial agreement with Sunway-AI and have engaged with several new potential customers. Last year also marked the 30 th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Israel. As we speak, the negotiation of the China-Israeli Free Trade Agreement is under way. We are expecting its imminent conclusion, which will hopefully bring more opportunities to the automotive industry. Since COVID control measures have been relaxed and flights have been resuming in China, Foresight will continue to lead innovation cooperation between Israel and China and intends to expand activity in this region,” said Oren Bar-On, CEO of Foresight Changzhou. Foresight registered in the CICP at the end of 2021 and signed a commercial contract of up to $51 million with Sunway-AI in November 2022, enhancing its support in the open innovation and high-quality development of the CICP and Changzhou City. About China Israel Changzhou Innovation Park The China Israel Changzhou Innovation Park is the first innovation demonstration park signed by the Chinese and Israeli governments. Established in 2015, the CICP was jointly unveiled by Liu Yandong, then Vice Premier of the State Council, and Avigdor Lieberman, then Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel. It was recognized by the National Development and Reform Commission of China as "the key area of China-Israeli high-tech industrial cooperation." The CICP has gathered a large number of Israeli-owned and Sino-Israeli cooperative enterprises, promoted the Sino-Israeli cooperation projects in many fields, and built a number of innovation platforms such as Israel Jiangsu Center.
