The DLT Science Foundation Makes its Public Launch to Revolutionize Industries and Society

LONDON, Mar 20, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The DLT Science Foundation (DSF), a global, non-profit organization, launched today with the goals of expanding knowledge and adoption of, and removing barriers to, fundamental breakthroughs in the field of distributed ledger technology (DLT).

Central to the Foundation's plan to support the responsible adoption of DLT is a comprehensive set of programmes that will offer support in three key areas:

– Education – for students, executives and developers: courses, labs and educational material
– Innovation – for entrepreneurs: open innovation programs, accelerators, workshops, hackathons, industry-academia knowledge transfer
– Research – for academics, Postdocs and PhDs: grants and fellowships

This support will be provided by the Foundation itself and through the use of grants to members of the DSF University Network. This network will feature a diverse array of leading universities from all over the world. Initially, the network comprises Indian Institute of Technology Madras, London School of Economics, National University of Singapore, University College London, and University of Zurich.

Other institutions that share the DSF's vision of promoting DLT are invited to join the DSF University Network and enjoy exclusive access to proprietary tools providing valuable insight into the crypto market and data for research purposes.

The DSF has been initially supported by Hedera, the open-source, leaderless proof-of-stake network, which will also lend valuable DLT expertise to the DSF University Network.

The first call for grant proposals opens today, offering funding up to 5 million US dollars for eligible individuals and organizations.

The DSF was conceived by two visionaries: Professor Paolo Tasca and Nikhil Vadgama. Prof. Tasca is a renowned economist who possesses a wealth of experience in both the industry and regulatory aspects of distributed systems. He is the founder of the acclaimed UCL Centre for Blockchain Technologies (CBT). Nikhil Vadgama is a Senior Technology Executive, the Deputy Director of UCL CBT, and a distinguished educator and lecturer at UCL who has received numerous accolades for his work.

Similar to the technology it advocates for, the DSF is a decentralized entity consisting of a global network of scientists and top experts in DLT.

The DSF programs will address real-world grand challenges and will be run through an innovative open collaborative innovation model between academia, industry and government to spur the translation of fundamental research into innovative commercial and societal solutions.

Paolo Tasca, Chairman and co-founder of the DSF said: "After two years of hard work and dedication, I am thrilled to announce the launch of the DLT Science Foundation. It is a privilege to work alongside talented and passionate individuals who will help make the DLT Science Foundation a leading voice in the world of emerging digital technologies. I am eager to witness the groundbreaking innovations that will emerge from our efforts. The DLT Science Foundation aims to drive innovation, foster new collaborative models between academia, industry, and government, and promote the responsible adoption of DLT in business and society. I am excited to continue this journey with our team, partners, and supporters, and I am confident that together, we will unlock the full potential of DLT and create a better future for all."

"The DSF has a unique opportunity to provide unmatched support and empowerment to academics and educators in universities. Drawing from our own experiences and the challenges we have faced, we have developed grant programs that are specifically designed to address the needs of the DLT community. We are excited to collaborate with educators and academics to continuously improve and enhance these programs, and to create a platform for unprecedented growth and success in the field of DLT research, education and innovation," said Director and co-founder Nikhil Vadgama.

"We are thrilled to join the DSF University Network and connect with other top universities around the world," said Nicholas Mac Gregor Garcia, Co-Director of the NUS FinTech Lab. "NUS is not only one of the top Asian universities, but also one of the world's best in CoinDesk's blockchain university rankings. We are leaders in blockchain education, offering 37 blockchain-related courses in all levels from Executive Education to PhD. We are committed to driving cutting-edge research in blockchain and crypto, and we believe that partnering with the DSF will allow us to do just that. We look forward to using DSF resources and tools to further our projects and contribute to the network's mission of advancing the field of blockchain. We hope to share our expertise and bring our unique perspective to the table, creating a mutually beneficial relationship."

Pradeep Iyer, member of the Board of Directors of the Hedera Governing Council, representing Avery Dennison, said, "To me, the promise of "web3" is deeply compelling – particularly to enable amazing technological developments that can support effective, efficient societal self-orchestration. The colossal magnitude, scope and diversity of data can be effectively consumed only by architecturing a robust, secure, trusted DLT foundation that can scale globally. Such a complex undertaking to me is a clarion call for assembling a solid academic community of best-in-class researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs who can credibly help inform supportive government policy. It is epochal to see this coming together under the auspices of DSF – a worldwide coalition of powerful neural energy."

Claudio Tessone, Head of the University of Zurich Blockchain Center (UZH BCC) (and Professor of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies) said: "As a large-scale interdisciplinary centre which aims at the creation of high quality research and education through a critical understanding on distributed ledger technologies, the UZH Blockchain Center is proud to join the DSF University Network. Entering this initiative allows us to pool our resources with other leading global institutions. UZH BCC specializes in impactful academic production with a worldwide reputation, as highlighted by the last CoinDesk blockchain university ranking. We are confident that DSF resources and tools will allow us to produce outputs of high value to the industry and the advancement of this fascinating space."

Hive Establishes Hive Village at BREATHE! Convention to Cover Cost of Exhibiting for Multiple Hive Projects

LAS VEGAS, NV, Mar 13, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – BREATHE! Convention has announced today that its "Center of the Universe Mainstage" sponsor Hive has established the Hive Village as part of its commitment to the projects involved in the Hive blockchain ecosystem.

Hive secured this Village by leveraging community funding to purchase individual exhibit spaces at BREATHE!, which allowed the ecosystem to give multiple projects exhibiting space directly on the Web3 convention's show floor at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

"At the heart of Web3 is the ability for everyone to move and engage freely while in control of their financial and social data, and the Hive blockchain was built with this freedom and growth in mind," said Crimsonclad from Hive. "As the fast feeless platform powering a growing expanse of social media, games, businesses and community hubs, Hive is thrilled to announce community funding covering the costs to bring a group of amazing projects and a Hive network showcase to exhibit at BREATHE! Thousands of attendees to this premiere event can visit the Hive village experience to discover the power of the Hive social blockchain and claim a unique username and wallet that unlocks an entire ecosystem of projects. Powered by a community, open to everyone, and truly decentralized, the Hive network is a blockchain where the users, developers, and businesses that are shaping our connected future are supported in building a more effective and more human decentralized web!"

The commitment of Hive to its projects came at a crucial time in Web3 history as developers, investors, and enthusiasts continue to look for a return in momentum that propelled massive Web3 innovations since 2021.

"This is Hive's way of investing back into their own ecosystem, and they're true leaders of blockchain for bringing to life such a simple but powerful concept," said BREATHE! Co-Founder & CMO Stormie Andrews. "The Hive Village allows attendees to get the full scope of the Hive ecosystem, where revolutionary projects get direct exposure to Web3 backers and leaders that was otherwise impossible. It's a win-win for everyone involved."

Andrews also remarked that the Village concept has grown rapidly in interest and queries as projects, like ones from the Hive blockchain network, look for reliable ways to make vital business and government connections in a stagnating 2023 global economy, thereby achieving much needed funding, marketing, and adoption goals.

Other protocols and ecosystems have the capability to set up their own Village at BREATHE!; however exhibition space is limited as the Web3 convention continues to finalize key areas on its showfloor. Interested projects are encouraged to reach out to BREATHE! Convention as soon as possible to secure a spot at the event.

The decision by Hive to sponsor the Center of the Universe Mainstage at BREATHE! and their initiative to create a Hive Village was also strategically made as a way to empower Hive users, projects, and followers with the education, experience, and entertainment available at BREATHE! Convention.

With workshops, panel discussions, and keynote presentations from industry experts, BREATHE! Convention is positioning itself as the must-attend event of the year for anyone currently involved and anyone exploring the Web3 space. The event will take place from May 3-5, 2023, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Visit www.breatheconvention.com to secure your ticket and to inquire about exhibiting at the convention.

With the Hive Village leading the way, BREATHE! Convention has continued to show increasing excitement across Web3 and blockchain communities as it sets itself as the definitive launchpad for the upcoming Web3 revolution.

For additional information and the latest updates on the Hive ecosystem, visit hive.io.

About BREATHE!

Taking place on May 3-5, 2023 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, BREATHE! Convention is connecting the Web3 universe that brings the power and utility of Web3 technology to life at this experience-based event.

Visit www.breatheconvention.com to secure your ticket to attend and inquire for exhibiting and sponsoring opportunities. BREATHE! is active on social media, providing the latest news and updates to the event.

KARM Legal Releases a Report Assessing Regulatory Framework for Virtual Assets

DUBAI, Mar 8, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – KARM Legal Consultants, a leading law firm specializing in Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Web3 & Fintech in the UAE has, in collaboration with prominent legal experts – Mr. Eric Hess (Hess Legal Counsel), Mr. Jonathan Geen, Mr. Andreas Glarner (MME) and Mr. Thomas Nagele (Nagele Attorneys) and the regional Blockchain Ecosystem Crypto Oasis, published a new report analyzing the regulatory landscape for virtual assets in various jurisdictions.

The report was launched in the presence of top organisations and Industry leaders at the annual Crypto Oasis Ecosystem Night held at Cove Beach in Caesars Palace, Dubai.

The report titled "Virtual Assets Regulatory Framework: An Evolving Landscape" identifies key regulatory developments in relation to virtual assets in the UAE, Bahrain, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, UK, and USA.

As the use of blockchain technology and its use cases continue to grow, so does the need for regulation. In the last few years, we have witnessed several positive regulatory developments for the virtual assets sector, as many jurisdictions globally have started to recognize virtual assets services.

With overall favorable regulatory ecosystems, UAE, Bahrain, Switzerland and Liechtenstein have cemented their position as leading virtual assets friendly jurisdictions. The regulatory frameworks in general focus on several aspects of business such as token classifications, AML/KYC, custody of private and public keys, wallet configurations and client suitability assessments.

Navigating the regulatory landscape for virtual assets can be a complex exercise. However, with the report, KARM aims to simplify the regulatory framework for readers.

As regards the UAE, KARM's report provides an overview of regulations issued by the federal, emirate level and free zone authorities. The report covers various licensing options available for virtual assets activities, token classifications, compliance requirements and capital requirements.

The UAE was one of the first jurisdictions globally to introduce a regulatory framework governing virtual assets activities.

The prestigious event in its second year took place at Cove Beach, the stunning venue that forms part of the famous Caesars Palace in Bluewaters Island. As one of the most popular locations in the city, it attracts visitors from all over the world. At the event, Crypto Oasis launched several WEB3 integrations with the venue.

The first was the creation of Cove Beach in the Metaverse by Exscape.

Exscape, the co-host for the Crypto Oasis Ecosystem night is a metaverse-based social platform as well as a metaverse builder that concentrates on creating experiences for the public at high end venues like Cove Beach.

The second integration was the launch of the Cove Beach NFT based membership programme for those interested in buying an annual membership to the venue. A large 12.5m wall at the venue has been converted into the Founders Mural by Faisal Zaidi and which was digitalised and fractionalised into 100 pieces. Each sold digital artwork represents its counterpart on the physical wall and will grant the owner an annual membership to the Cove Beach Club.

"We are excited to integrate Cove Beach, our go-to destination for our annual Ecosystem Night, into the world of WEB3 through the launch of the Metaverse experience and Memberships as NFTs. The Cove Beach Metaverse will provide members with an exclusive and immersive experience that blurs the boundaries between the physical and virtual world, while the Membership NFTs will let holders own a piece of the Cove Beach through the fractionalised mural at the venue," said Ralf Glabischnig, Founder of the Crypto Oasis.

"We're thrilled to have partnered with Crypto Oasis to launch the Cove Beach Metaverse and our Annual Membership NFTs," said Adel Ghazzawi, Co-Founder of Cove Beach.

We're excited to offer our members an unparalleled experience that merges the physical and digital worlds. The WEB3 community is a very important part of the society of Dubai and they are an integral part of the audience that visits our venue."
