Crypto Oasis, Crypto Valley, the DLT Science Foundation and Inacta Ventures Join Forces in a Groundbreaking Initiative

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND, Jan 23, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – Crypto Oasis, Crypto Valley, the DLT Science Foundation and Inacta Ventures Join Forces in a Groundbreaking Initiative.Crypto Oasis, Crypto Valley, the DLT Science Foundation, and Inacta Ventures united to unveil the Global Protocol Report at The Hub of Casper Labs in Davos on the 17th of January 2024. It is an exhaustive examination of DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) protocols that intends to empower decision-makers and policymakers with invaluable insights and data points, enabling them to plot their course in the burgeoning WEB3 space confidently.

Highlights:

The report has unprecedented transparency and clarity, granular insights, and an evolving analysis of DLT protocol attributes. It will help industry experts and novices gain foundational knowledge on DLT concepts, WEB3 ecosystem infrastructure, the evolution of the Blockchain landscape, and the role of capital, talent, infrastructure, and regulations in WEB3 innovation.

The Global Protocol Report introduces a comprehensive framework for assessing the maturity of DLT protocols, facilitating informed decision-making with concise protocol fact sheets. The report also reveals Switzerland’s dominance with 68.58% of the share of market cap of top protocols per country, followed by Singapore at 13.93%. The Global Protocol Report boasts some illustrious partners such as Coindesk Indices, Dialectic, DFINITY, Hedera, and Sui.

Unveiling the Inaugural Global Protocol Report

A Comprehensive Analysis of Blockchain Protocols

The report’s primary objective is to offer a nuanced understanding of prominent DLT protocols, exploring their strengths, weaknesses, and unique value propositions. The report has unparalleled depth and will delve into the foundational concepts of Distributed Ledger Technology. The subsequent sections delve into critical components of successful innovation, including the role of capital, infrastructure, and talent in advancing DLT protocols.

The report also addresses the intricate landscape of valuations and funding in the Blockchain sphere, focusing on critical aspects, including market cap distributions, revealing Switzerland’s dominance with 68.58% of the share of the market cap of top protocols per country, followed by Singapore at 13.93%. In terms of numbers, 20 of the leading DLT protocols are based out of Switzerland, just one short of the 21 based out of the USA.

He emphasised Switzerland’s stability and leadership in the Blockchain domain, stating, “In the report we have explored the jurisdictions shaping the WEB3 landscape, analysing regulatory frameworks, infrastructure elements, and other factors influencing their favorability. It’s challenging how regulations can vary so greatly depending on where you are in the world, involving different regions, legal jurisdictions, and governing bodies. Switzerland, being a prominent player in Blockchain, stands as a pillar of stability and one of the most popular jurisdictions for DLT protocols. The Global Protocol Report also details valuation models and funding mechanisms so stakeholders can make informed choices and contribute to a thriving ecosystem.”

Glabischnig acknowledged that the European Union’s introduction of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) is a notable step towards creating a cohesive framework, potentially serving as a blueprint globally. Such a regulatory landscape underscores the importance of understanding and navigating diverse legal frameworks, making the Global Protocol Report an invaluable resource.

The report delves beyond the Blockchain trilemma, i.e., the scalability, security, and decentralization trade-offs, shedding light on the emergence of side chains and second-layer solutions. This exploration unlocks new avenues for optimizing performance and maximizing user experience.

The Global Protocol Report marks a significant milestone in Blockchain research because it provides a comprehensive assessment framework for assessing the maturity of DLT protocols. This framework will allow readers to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of each of the selected protocols, facilitating comparison and identification of potential areas for improvement.

Commenting on the protocol maturity framework, Daniel Rutishauser, Partner, Head WEB3 Venture Building, Inacta Ventures said, “In our daily work, we are using our assessment framework to select the protocol that best fits the requirements for a WEB3 solution. In this report, for the first time, we give some insights into it as guidance for others to successfully build WEB3 solutions. The Global Protocol Report is a game-changer for understanding DLTs. This is a data-driven roadmap with a clear framework for assessing protocol maturity that will empower decision-makers and policymakers in the intricate world of Blockchain technology. By shedding light on the technical complexities and financial dynamics of DLT protocols, the report paves the way for a more informed and responsible WEB3 future.”

Each of the selected Blockchain protocols has been researched and graded on various attributes, including governance, performance efficiency, reliability, security, maintainability, usability, and adoption. The fact sheets for each protocol in the second part of the report include facts and figures such as the consensus mechanisms, transaction speeds, Tokenomics, etc.

“The Global Protocol Report is a critical resource to understand the Blockchain landscape, offering a unique lens on the evolution of DLT protocols. It not only tracks the advancements in Blockchain technology but also provides a framework for assessing protocol maturity. Our collaboration in this report underlines the DLT Science Foundation’s dedication to fostering informed decision-making in the Blockchain arena, especially as we navigate the complexities of scalability, security, and decentralisation. This report is an essential guide for anyone committed to understanding and shaping the future of WEB3.” said Paolo Tasca, Co-Founder and Chairman of the DLT Science Foundation.

A unique aspect of the Global Protocol Report is its commitment to being an evolving and dynamic resource. Regular updates will incorporate new trends and developments, allowing for a time series analysis and showcasing major shifts in the protocol landscape over time.

Blockpass Heralds Cutting Edge Compliance Automation – Advanced KYC Bot(TM)

HONG KONG, Jan 18, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – Blockpass is proud to reveal a brand-new automation advancement that will see the KYC experience for its customers improved even further with the introduction of the Advanced KYC Bot(TM). Included as standard for all Managed Service add-on clients, the handy new bot will automate the KYC process even further, reducing the time and effort required for compliance by monitoring and processing flags to KYC profiles.

Also available on a standalone basis for Enterprise customers, the Advanced KYC Bot(TM) builds on the capability of legacy KYC Bot versions which automatically approve a KYC profile if there are no flags raised for it. If there are potential issues detected, the Advanced KYC Bot(TM) reviews and actions these via a remediation process which involves cross-referencing matching AML data, addressing any deficiencies in the documentation provided, and dealing with any issues arising from a blocked nationality. These new capabilities will reduce the time taken to address flagged profiles, whether due to issues with the data or user error in uploading or inputting information, which will ultimately lead to fewer issues or delays onboarding customers and an improved user experience of the whole process.

Blockpass is a digital identity verification provider which provides a one-click compliance gateway to financial services and other regulated industries. Through Blockpass, users can create, store, and manage a data-secure digital identity that can be used for an entire ecosystem of services, token purchases and access to regulated industries. For businesses and merchants, Blockpass is a comprehensive KYC & AML SaaS that requires no integration and no setup cost. You can set up a service in minutes, test the service for free and start verifying and on-boarding users. Currently, with around one million verified user identity profiles, Blockpass facilitates instant onboarding, and to date over a thousand businesses have taken advantage of this opportunity to get access to users, including those with unhosted wallets, with reusable digital identity profiles.

“We all know that regulation and compliance underpin a safe and responsible ecosystem for crypto and blockchain users, but the whole idea of Blockpass is to make the process faster, simpler, more efficient and less intrusive for both businesses and their customers,” said Adam Vaziri, Blockpass CEO. “Our tech department has been hard at work on this new development and we’re delighted to be able to showcase how it will innovate the KYC process for our customers even further. Not only that, but we also have further developments in the works that we’re excited to share with you in the near future.”

Blockpass has grown significantly in size and use since its inception, both in the number and range of users and organizations it has partnered with and the scope of its work. Blockpass continues to develop its digital identity protocol with updates and additions to improve the compliance experience. The existential need for DeFi projects to be regulatory compliant and the recent integrations and legal developments have led to a surge in interest for Blockpass’ On-Chain KYC®, the only live zero knowledge solution for Crypto KYC, and Unhosted Wallet KYC(TM) solution finally enabling blockchains and DeFi platforms to have a compliance layer. For Animoca Brands and Yuga Labs’ Otherside NFT minting in 2022, Blockpass exclusively started the first zero knowledge KYC service where the delivery of the verification result is provably sent without sharing the underlying data.

Advancing Financial Inclusion AUC Coins Set to Revolutionize Retail Payments in South Africa

Cape Town, South Africa, Jan 11, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – Advanced Project, a leading force in African blockchain innovation, is taking a major step towards true financial inclusion in the continent with the integration of AUC Coin as a payment method at retail stores across South Africa. This exciting partnership unlocks new possibilities for digital asset adoption and sets the stage for wider cryptocurrency use in the region.

South Africa, at the forefront of embracing digital assets following the Financial Sector Conduct Authority’s recognition of them as financial products, is witnessing a transformative shift in payment methods. The integration of AUC Coin as a payment method is a testament to Advanced Project’s unwavering commitment to democratizing finance in Africa. By simplifying digital asset access and use, Advanced Project empowers individuals and businesses alike, fostering a more inclusive and prosperous future for the continent.

As a testament to this evolving landscape, the Pick N Pay group, the largest retail group in the Southern Africa region with 2,204 stores across eight countries, has partnered with CryptoConvert. In September, the integration of the CryptoQR Payments API allowed direct payments with digital assets at all Pick N Pay counters in South Africa. This partnership is a crucial step in bringing digital currencies into mainstream usage for everyday transactions. Other large retail groups like Pick N Pay, will also soon be accepting payments in digital assets.

Ashiek Anandhaw, CEO of AUC comments, “The Advanced project uses its own end-to-end payment platform, TIER, which directly connects AUC Coins to users and merchants, to provide a payment system in an easier environment in both offline and online environments, allowing users to pay not only for goods, but also for other value-added services and municipal bills.” AUC Coin from the Advanced project is a native token used extensively in the on/off-chain ecosystem of the project.

It has successfully undergone testing for payment services using AUC Coin in several South African retailers, expanding the usage of AUC Coin beyond South Africa to the entire African continent.

This initiative expands AUC Coin’s utility beyond online transactions and paves the way for everyday purchases with digital assets. It has the potential to revolutionize financial access and inclusion across the African continent.

Through partnerships like this, Advanced Project is taking concrete steps toward realizing its vision of a blockchain-powered Africa, where everyone has equal access to financial tools and opportunities. This paves the way for increased not only Bitcoin and Ethereum but also various digital assets like AUC coin usage in retail, propelling Africa to the forefront of the global cryptocurrency movement.

The Advanced Project

The Advanced project is a blockchain-based initiative that aims to promote financial inclusion in Africa through digital assets. The project offers a comprehensive platform that connects users and merchants through its own end-to-end payment system, TIER, which allows for fast, low-cost, and secure transactions using AUC Coins, the native token of the project. The project also provides a range of value-added services and solutions, such as remittances, microfinance, insurance, and municipal bill payments, that aim to improve the lives and livelihoods of millions of Africans who lack access to traditional financial services. The project’s vision is to create a more inclusive and prosperous Africa through the power of blockchain and digital assets. For more information, visit https://aucunited.com/.
