United Nations Group Seeks Comments on Blockchain Voting Standards

NEW YORK, Aug 23, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The United Nations (UN) Internet Governance Forum (IGF) Blockchain Assurance & Standardization Dynamic Coalition has distributed a suite of blockchain standards authored by the Government Blockchain Association (GBA) including standards for the use of blockchain technology in elections.

The GBA Voting Working Group that developed the election standard is comprised of election officials, election systems vendors, and blockchain experts from around the world. They are driven by a desire to make elections trustworthy and accessible to all voters. According to Utah County Commissioner, Amelia Powers Gardner, “Our county has proven that blockchain technology can secure remote electronic voting, providing access to voters that otherwise could not make it to polls.”

In addition to local election officials, the group also included blockchain-based election vendors. According to Linda Hutchinson, Director of QA & Compliance at Voatz, “Election officials need to have confidence that the systems they use have been objectively and independently verified as trusted solutions.” She goes on to say, “That is why the Voting Working Group is proposing standards for blockchain-based voting systems.”

The group is seeking comments from experts including local elections officials, election equipment vendors, election administrators, regulators, and observers. Comments are also solicited from policymakers, academics, technologists, and enthusiasts in the fields of blockchain and governance to provide their expertise and insights in an open call for comments on the Blockchain Maturity Model (BMM) Voting Systems Supplement.

As technology continues to revolutionize various sectors, the potential of blockchain in transforming the democratic process is undeniable. With its inherent attributes of transparency, immutability, and decentralization, blockchain has the capacity to enhance the integrity and trustworthiness of elections and voting systems worldwide.

The UN IGF Blockchain Assurance and Standardization Dynamic Coalition has been diligently working on a comprehensive Blockchain Standard tailored specifically for elections. The standard covers crucial areas including:

  • Identity verification and authentication of voters
  • Ballot casting, tracking, and tallying procedures.
  • Ensuring voter privacy and anonymity
  • Security measures against cyber threats and attacks
  • Transparency and auditability of the entire process

Ex-Singapore Parliamentarian’s Swiss Company Launches Swiss Franc and Euro Stablecoins

  • Singapore investor and former parliamentarian Calvin Cheng’s newly rebranded Swiss company, Anchored Coins, was granted membership in the Swiss VQF in early 2023.
  • VQF is the largest and oldest cross-industry self-regulatory organisation in Switzerland and is officially recognised by FINMA, the country’s financial services watchdog.
  • Anchored Coins is launching a Swiss Franc-backed stablecoin (ACHF) and a Euro-backed stablecoin (AEUR), and will be issued on the Ethereum and BNB Chain blockchains.
  • DCS Card Centre in Singapore is planning to issue credit cards collateralised by AEUR and ACHF.

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, Aug 16, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Singapore investor and former parliamentarian Calvin Cheng has announced that his wholly-owned, newly rebranded Swiss company, Anchored Coins AG (“Anchored Coins”), will be issuing two stablecoins – a Euro-backed stablecoin AEUR, and a Swiss Franc-backed stablecoin ACHF. Both stablecoins will be backed 1-to-1 by their respective fiat currencies and held in Swiss banks. The stablecoins will be issued on the Ethereum and BNB Chain public blockchains.

Earlier this year, the company was granted membership in the Swiss VQF, which means it has to comply with Swiss anti-money laundering obligations.

Calvin Cheng, Chairman of Anchored Coins said, “Switzerland has very clear regulatory guidelines for the issuance of stablecoins. The reputation of Swiss banks is also second to none. There is a clear need for stablecoins to be pegged to currencies other than the US Dollar, given the regulatory uncertainty in the US. I feel this is the right time and right place, to launch highly compliant stablecoins in two other well-regarded global currencies, the Swiss Franc, and the Euro.”

Cheng further added that his company will comply with the European Union’s new Markets in Crypto Assets (“MiCA”) regulations once they come into effect in 2024.

Anchored Coins announced a partnership with DCS Card Centre (“DCS”) in Singapore. Formerly known as Diners Club Singapore, DCS is a 50-year-old financial institution that pioneered the issuance of credit cards in the Republic. Through this collaboration, DCS will accept ACHF and AEUR as a form of collateral placement for credit limits on its cards, thereby enhancing the value and utility of both stablecoins.

Karen Low, CEO of DCS said, “We believe that stablecoins are crucial in bridging digital assets to traditional finance. DCS aims to lead the charge on connecting Web2 and Web3 with integrated payment experiences that are co-created through partnerships. We are proud to partner with Anchored Coins in providing immediate value to their stablecoin holders by using ACHF and AEUR as collateral for instant credit limits on the cards we issue. We currently offer a choice of cards from global payment networks including Diners Club International, Mastercard, UnionPay and soon, Visa.”

Anchored Coins is in the process of launching, and will only be available to institutional partners during the first phase of its development. The company is also in advanced discussions with major digital asset exchanges to be listed.

ABOUT CALVIN CHENG

Calvin Cheng is currently the Republic Of Serbia’s first Honorary Consul to the Republic of Singapore. Cheng was a former appointed Member of Singapore’s Parliament, and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum.

Cheng is a serial entrepreneur, formerly the President of Elite Models for Asia, as well as a director of Singapore’s largest luxury events management company Lumina. He was most recently Chairman of Australia Stock Exchange (ASX)-listed EdTech firm ReTech Technology Co, which he led to an Initial Public Offering, together with leading investors from China, including several co-founders of Alibaba, and other Chinese tech companies.

ABOUT DCS CARD CENTRE

DCS Card Centre Pte Ltd (“DCS”), formerly known as Diners Club Singapore is a financial institution governed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) under the Banking Act to carry on the business of issuing credit cards or charge cards in Singapore. Established in 1973, DCS was amongst the founding institutions that pioneered cashless payments with its first series of credit and charge cards in Singapore.

As part of its name change in October 2022, the financial institution embarked on a massive business transformation to expand its network of payments schemes and new payment solutions. Along with a set of new shareholders and a leadership team helmed by industry veterans, DCS has since achieved remarkable milestones. These include an expansion of schemes from just Diners Club International to include Mastercard, UnionPay and Visa, as well as the launch of new solutions such as D-Vault, a feature for cardholders to seamlessly aggregate their assets through funds transfers and digital assets for instant spend limits, and a whole new DCS cards app that enables several card management services to ease customer convenience.

On 3-Year Anniversary, Decimal Blockchain Celebrates Key Achievements, Transition to DAO

SINGAPORE, Aug 14, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – It's been three years since the first block of the Decimal blockchain was launched. In this article, we will highlight the key milestones of Decimal's development and the biggest achievements.
Decimal blockchain DAO – DAO structure: NFT marketplace, DEX, stake, staking, blockchain


Development of the Decimal Blockchain

Mainnet launch date – August 1, 2020
2021: 50,000 active addresses, 50 algorithmic tokens, 12 validators
2022: 130,000 active addresses, 120 algorithmic tokens, 27 validators
2023: 190,000 active addresses, 250th position on the world blockchain list according to CoinMarketCap, 261 algorithmic tokens, 76 validators

The Decimal blockchain is based on the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint technologies. It has all the features required for integration of the Internet of blockchains (Web3.0), the DeFi sector, the global DSC update (Decimal Smart Chain) combining IBC and EVM, connecting the two largest infrastructures together.

Already at the time of its development in 2019, Decimal integrated trending solutions that many projects are implementing only now:

– Algorithmic tokens, available to any user. An algorithmically created token can be traded across the blockchain via the Decimal wallet or on the AmpleSwap DEX. And thanks to simple and reliable formulas, the use of these tokens is safe for all users.
– Voting: this allows the community to choose the direction of the project development. According to the roadmap, by the end of 2023, the powers will pass into the hands of the Decimal DAO.
– Multi-signature: provides secure joint asset management.
– Multisend transaction: mass sending of transactions is a convenient tool for marketing campaigns. Want to send your token as an advertisement to 1000 users? No problem, just insert a list of addresses and you're done.

2020:
– The team finalized the API and SDK for blockchain developers.
– The Decimal blockchain wiki was created as an open knowledge base for the project
– Developed a page explorer.decimalchain.com/coins – rating of projects by capitalization (currently 261 projects with reserve capitalization of 315,082,977 DEL ~ $6 million)

2021:
In 2021, the Decimal team implemented:
– Cross-chain bridges in the BSC/ETH network.
– NFT with the storage of the original inside and liquidity, which allows art to be endowed not only with cultural, but also with actual value.
– Infrastructure improvement, updating of all sites and services.
– Listings on exchanges and rating agencies.

2022:
– DSC (Decimal Smart Chain), EVM implementation, smart contracts.
– Integration with MetaMask, Keplr, Ledger, Trust Wallet, Tangem.
– Functionality for automatic burning of part of the commission.
– The ability to burn any token or coin.
– Integration with Third Web.

2023:
– Introduced Decimal DAO, a community-oriented platform for collaboration on projects, sharing resources and achieving common goals in a much more transparent, secure and decentralized environment.
– Release of Decimal DAO White Paper.
– Launch of the 1st DDAO round, a round of 200 million DDAO (~$4 million) completed in five days.
– Launch of DEX AmpleSwap.

Bill Gleason, CEO of Prontoblock, commented, "MBI, with its robust presence in the US digital asset space, is an ideal partner as they routinely generate excess liquidity and are in search of high-quality, short-term liquid instruments to invest their short-term liquidity and generate an attractive risk-adjusted return."

Bo Collings, CEO of MBI, echoed the sentiment, "Our alliance with Prontoblock perfectly aligns with our strategic vision. Tokenizing commercial paper allows us to provide a diverse array of investment opportunities to our clients while facilitating their access to liquidity. Through leveraging our advanced blockchain technology stack, we are poised to enhance client investment capabilities, yielding exceptional outcomes while meticulously adhering to US securities regulations."

By taking proactive measures to ensure that their financial solutions are compliant with relevant laws and regulations, both MBI and Prontoblock are solidifying their status as trusted partners for their global clientele, ensuring that their financial interests are safeguarded within the bounds of regulatory frameworks. As digital asset adoption and regulatory compliance regulations evolve, both companies remain committed to ensuring clients can navigate the complexities of the digital assets landscape with confidence.

Sarson Funds Employs Blockpass’ KYC for BCH, CSPR Stablecoins

HONG KONG, Jul 20, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – This week sees the announcement that capital management firm Sarson Funds is using Blockpass' On-Chain KYC(R) solution, alongside Accountable's on-chain proof-of-reserve validation, to create the most transparent and trusted stablecoins on the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Casper (CSPR) blockchains. The asset-backed U.S. dollar stablecoins will exclusively hold Circle's USDC as collateral which will be held on-chain with a publicly verifiable address.


According to Sarson Funds, placing 'pre-compliant' stablecoins on the Bitcoin Cash and Casper Networks will allow those communities to transact confidently knowing that emerging regulations will not interrupt transactions or turn off token availability for US-based customers. Sarson Funds has deep knowledge of the stablecoin marketplace having run a stablecoin portfolio since 2020 and has multiyear relationships with the development teams at Casper Network and Bitcoin Cash. This launch will be Sarson Fund's first foray into issuing stablecoins, and they cite increasing demand in both ecosystems as the catalyst for the product launch.

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.

"Over the past two years, it has become clear that stablecoins are a vital part of a blockchain's ecosystem and that not all stablecoins are created equally." said John Sarson, CEO of Sarson Funds. "Assuming the eventual passage of the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, stablecoins will need to be collateral-backed and will need qualified banking partners. Modern stablecoins need to meet higher standards for compliance, proof-of-reserves and KYC. The days of stablecoin issuers cutting corners and playing dumb are over."

"We're very proud to have been selected by Sarson Funds to provide compliance measures for such a significant development." said Adam Vaziri, Blockpass CEO. "Being a blockchain-agnostic solution allows us to help those who require regulatory solutions on any network and with our goals so aligned to Sarson Funds' we're delighted to facilitate the projects on BCH and CSPR."

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(R), the only live zero knowledge solution for Crypto KYC, and Unhosted Wallet KYC solution finally enabling blockchains and DeFi platforms to have a compliance layer. Through its work with Animoca Brands from early 2022, Blockpass provides a zero knowledge KYC service where the delivery of the verification result is provably sent and shown on a blockchain without sharing the underlying data. This represents a significant step towards the future Blockpass hopes to bring about where identity verification can be proved without revealing any personal information at all.
