Insider Protocol Goes to Binance Launchpad with Hedge Funds Partnerships

NEW YORK, Apr 22, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Recently, Insider Protocol has announced that they go to Binance Launchpad with Hedge funds partnerships. The Insider Protocol project is developing very rapidly with their unique ecosystem modules. Now, the team has unveiled more core technical details about the cross-chain itself.

The project's entire ecosystem is rigged on the main index – the IPRO token. However, there are a lot of very important elements for the crypto community in addition to it. This is the speed of transaction confirmation and the commission paid by the user for this operation.

It isn't a secret that at the time this article was published, the cost of gas to pay for ETH transactions is huge and amounts to about $90, and in some cases more than $100. With such huge fees for many users, the commission very often exceeds the size of the transfer itself. As a result, people must wait until the commission becomes less or completely abandon the transfer and look for alternative ways. This is terrible and totally unacceptable in the current matter of time.

The project has achieved amazing results for several years of hard work, solving these and other very important fundamental issues for the whole crypto market.

The Insider Protocol ecosystem is a huge cross-chain project in which users can transfer their funds between many different networks without any restrictions. For example, from the ETH network, users can easily transfer the funds to the Polkadot network and vice versa. And they won't be limited to just these two networks. There will be supported next networks: Binance, Polkadot, Cosmos, Ethereum, etc.

The Insider Protocol integration modules allow developers of any projects on any networks to easily integrate amazing transaction speed of less than 1 second into their projects and apps. Along with instant transfers, the Insider Protocol team also achieved multiple reductions in the cost of commissions with less than $0.02. Moreover, the team continues to work in this direction and already understands how to further reduce the transaction cost by the time the main network is launched.

Any third-party developer can write the code itself for development in a convenient language, because the project has support for Rust, Move, C, and C ++. Leave the concept of sharding in the past. Networks can be scaled without sharding and layer 2 solutions.

Insider Protocol are now looking at Alphabit, Andreessen Horowitz, and Alameda Research for partnerships & collaboration as some of the first steps ahead of going to Binance Launchpad, where BNB coin holders will be able to receive IPRO coins.

And a little about the approach to data privacy, a new zero-knowledge-proof methodology will solve many of the existing data privacy issues quite simply as well as scalability issues. The point is that the team figured out how to change it and understood how to radically improve the entire methodology during transaction verification in the blockchain. Thanks to this, confidentiality will change significantly in the direction of privacy.

The main idea of that is to use new parameters, with the help of which any network participant can programmatically prove a particular transaction was carried out correctly and without errors. Moreover, all data of the transaction itself remains hidden. This is only possible using the zero-knowledge proof that provides excellent scalability and confidentiality. The application of this method is very wide and could turn the entire cryptocurrency market upside down. After all, while saving user data from prying eyes, endless prospects are simultaneously possible for creating any applications in the field of banking, retail, etc.

At the moment, the IPRO team is preparing to launch the mainnet which will tentatively happen in the next few months. More details about the specific dates can be found in the News section on the project's website and on the Telegram channel.

Smart, Easy, Safe, Global: Bitpapa Launches Telegram Bot for Crypto Exchange

DUBAI, Apr 19, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Cryptocurrency exchange may be a complicated and challenging process for a crypto rookie. Users may waste their time looking for suitable tools and menus to send/receive the funds due to a non-friendly UI. Moreover, sending funds always means the fear of loss for a user as there is no guarantee the transaction would be safe and fair. Crypto transactions may also take time which impacts the transaction rate, along with the fees and commissions.

The transaction speed always depends on the network load. But any delay may be crucial here. Meanwhile, the number of users involved in the cryptomarket keeps growing as the Bitcoin rate boost heats up their interest. In most cases, people prefer to use Telegram, searching for the information on the cryptomarket, as this messenger involves a lot of other crypto enthusiasts, chats, channels and communities.

Recently, Bitpapa has launched a Telegram bot @Bitpapa_bot for safe cryptocurrency exchange operations. This is a technical solution providing a convenient way to quickly buy & sell cryptos. In fact, Bitpapa is a global cryptocurrency exchange platform based in Dubai which has a full-fledged mobile app offering quick & safe crypto trades. The project team made crypto exchanges smart, safe and easy thanks to an intuitive UI, escrow, and trusted environment.

Thus, Bitpapa is a P2P platform for crypto exchange. It helps to find a buyer or a seller of Bitcoin, Ethereum, or USDT directly. No need to search for the most profitable exchanger and compare rates in several places. A user can buy cryptocurrency with his banking card from another person with no extra fees and overpayments.

The platform offers various payment methods like wire transfer, card payment, electronic wallets. A user can create an account with deposit and start the exchange. Besides, every user has a rating, feedback and trade terms. Before engaging in any transaction, the user can check the seller's account and make a decision.

Any crypto trade can be started in Telegram bot and the user can continue it on the website or in the app. This also works the other way: a user starts the trade on the website or in the app and finishes it in Telegram bot. It provides a cross-platform integration which is a convenient way for users to perform transactions as they may want.

The exchange process within Bitpapa is easy. First, the user inputs the necessary amount to buy/sell cryptos. Then the system provides the list of suitable exchange offers. The user can choose the offer by its rating, feedback, history, country and some other features. All the transactions are carried out quickly. No fees or commissions involved. The safety within the platform is guaranteed by the escrow. Once a user sends a request, the specified amount will be charged from the seller's balance. Then the crypto will be locked in the escrow system for a certain period of time specified by the buyer. During this time the buyer should make a money transfer to the seller. As the seller confirms the money transfer, the crypto funds are released from the escrow system. The buyer receives the crypto and leaves a feedback. The users evaluate and score each other after the trade. Everyone has a certain rating, depending on the transaction history and transaction success. This rating allows others to make the right choice. It creates a trusted environment within the platform and decreases the fear of loss and other risks. Moreover, there's a support group and help desk operating 24/7. They are eager to give a hand on any relevant issue.

The Bitpapa project team plan to add Monero and Litecoin for the exchange operations. Now they're working on the integration of different crypto-banking systems so that any user from any place in the world would be able to quickly buy and sell cryptocurrency, making it available to anyone. The idea of the project is to help users to change the money freely, without banks or financial institutions, and thus achieving financial independence and success. This inspires the team to protect their users' accounts and funds, solve their problems, and provide them with fast & safe crypto transactions.

ENEDEX Announces World’s First Polkadot Moonbean Cross-Chain DEX for Energy Trading

ZUG, SWITZERLAND, Apr 13, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) ENEDEX, a pioneer in energy trading, is proud to announce the first Polkadot Moonbean cross-chain DEX for energy trading, providing an easy way to kickstart new projects and raise capital. ENEDEX is the world’s first cross-chain DEX focused on trading energy assets. ENEDEX is a decentralized exchange, providing leverage and margin trading, energy options and futures trading, and automatic trading API with data services.

Centralized exchanges have shown their vulnerabilities recently with both OKEx and BitMEX. Bitcoin, which was created to cut out the middleman, has a large portion of its trading volume controlled by the same middlemen. ENEDEX is responding to these issues, answering the call for leaderless solutions for trading. Decentralizing trading allows users to remain in control. It has the potential to enable sourcing of more liquidity than ever before, as is the case with ENEDEX. It allows for the creation of brand-new trading markets.

The global Cryptocurrency market capitalization hit the USD 2 trillion mark in April, 2021. Security is always a major factor when dealing with decentralized data management. ENEDEX uses cross-chain technology and quantum resistance to create the most secure DEX on the market and provide superior interoperability and cybersecurity to its users. Through the cross-chain DEX technology, ENEDEX strives to fundamentally transform the way energy markets work. $ENE token provides access to VIP DeFi liquidity mining pools with superior APY and APR, staking, community governance, and early participation in new high-quality energy projects investments.

Energy is the latest asset class that is joining the DeFi innovation. DEX brings a new way for energy trading to be conducted in the future. It enters a censorship-resistant and transparent universe with democratized global access for all.

According to ENEDEX research, the current world of energy is dominated by oligopolies and intermediaries controlling access to energy production, consumption, and trading. Energy markets are predominantly traded on centralized exchanges not readily accessible for everyone, creating an imbalance of power. Energy Future and Options contracts are traded in bulk volumes, making it hard to trade by individuals.

ENEDEX brings a new approach to energy markets through decentralization and democratization by providing equal access to anyone with an internet connection. ENEDEX enables fractional tokenization of energy assets with a focus on renewable energy and Envirotech.

“It is hard for the average person to trade or invest a small amount in energy assets. Tokenization of energy assets breaks down entry barriers linked to market access, geographical barriers, high transaction costs, and liquidity constraints,” said Erik van Ommeren, CEO of ENEDEX. “ENEDEX enables a market for minters to issue over collateralized synthetic assets safely, a market for traders to gain exposure to them, and a platform for entrepreneurs to develop new projects accelerating the energy transition creating a sustainable environment.”

ENEDEX builds on existing cross-chain technology, starting with the Polkadot Moonbeam para chain to enable users to have a seamless experience while saving transaction fees and making the world a greener and cleaner place.

Polkadot is considered “evolutionary” in its very conception. The Polkadot protocol is designed to become a scalable multi-chain technology. Unlike the usual blockchain implementations, centered around a single blockchain and varying degrees of generalization depending on the applications, Polkadot wants to offer a relay-chain. This base can host a large number of validated and globally consistent data structures. It is designed to provide the basic infrastructure elements, leaving the middleware to handle any application complexity.

Moonbeam is a developer-oriented blockchain that strives to provide compatibility with the existing Ethereum developer toolchain and network. Moonbeam will also be a para chain on the Polkadot network. That means it will get shared security from the Polkadot relay chain. It will be able to integrate with other chains connected to Polkadot once that functionality is available.

“With a combined 35 plus years of accumulated experience in Energy Trading, Strategy, Executive Management, Investments, Engineering, Entrepreneurship, Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency and Blockchain with industry leaders, the ENEDEX team is the best option to deliver and manage a product that is going to shape the future of the energy industry,” van Ommeren said.

WAM.app, a Romanian Mobile Gaming Social Media Platform, Surges Past 1 Million Users in the First Month after Launch

Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Apr 9, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Meet the first mobile gaming social media network, WAM.app, allowing anyone to play at any time and place.

Since its launch on February 25th, WAM.app has reached more than 1 million active players. And the number keeps growing. WAM.app is the brainchild of Digitap, a Romanian company founded by visionary game dev and business veterans Daniel Tamas and Alex Rus whose mission is to let people socialize through gameplay.

The idea of creating WAM.app was mainly influenced by 2 factors: social distancing and the rise of hyper-casual niche. While people stay at home, the need for social interaction is increasing, so all of them spend more time online interacting with their friends and colleagues. Those people, who couldn’t name themselves “gamers” a year ago, now have at least 2-3 gaming apps installed on their phones that they regularly use to relieve stress or kill the time.

Since hyper-casual games have predominantly short retention rate, users are jumping from one game to another, which makes them spend the time to search and download new interesting games. The Digitap team has discovered this peculiarity of hyper-casuals and came up with an idea to create a single platform where all TOP titles would be available for its player. Now, users don’t have to keep numerous gaming apps on their phone – they can have them all in WAM.app. Like any other native app, it’s easy to install – simply go to Google Play Market or AppStore, find WAM.app and enjoy their favorite titles on a single platform. The Digitap team has gone even further and developed a PWA (progressive web-app), which serves as a web-version of WAM.app that can be easily saved to users’ home screen and won’t take even 1 megabyte of their phone storage.

Another marvelous feature of this social media app is the tournaments. Every new user is granted 2,500 TapCoins, an internal digital WAM.app currency that can be used to participate in public tournaments. This is where they compete with each other, while increasing their Profile rating on the national and global scale. Players can also create private tournaments to challenge their friends and colleagues.

The gaming market is in continuous expansion and products like WAM.app should fill the gap in current social media where competitiveness is not skill-based.

Building Sustainable, Safe and Secure Rail Networks with COTS (Commercial-off-the-shelf) Solutions in Asia Pacific

SINGAPORE, Apr 9, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – With nations now much more prepared in dealing with the pandemic with vaccinations, testing, and containment, Asia Pacific is slowly and surely getting its economies back to speed as safely and as expeditiously as possible.

Moving masses through the veins of the cities

In many of the Asia Pacific nations, public transportation is the crux to the economies, providing an affordable and dependable infrastructure for work and leisure, especially in highly congested metropolitan cities around the region. Domestic air travel, whilst perhaps faster from point to point, may not be as affordable as rail or bus networks, especially when rail systems become fast and meticulously engineered into urban planning. Domestic high-speed rail for larger nations in this region has become more important, especially as they began to link up provinces.

The region boasts some of the most advanced mass transit rail networks in the world, including the likes of Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and China. According to the UNIFE Global Rail study conducted by Roland Berger, the rail supply market saw constant growth in recent years, with especially the Asia Pacific making a sizable positive development to the entire market to the tune of 5.3%.

A large continent like Australia has begun to see pockets of successful rail networks, such as the Newcastle Light Rail with 6 stops connecting the waterfront and the key parts of the city, as part of the Newcastle Urban Transformation and Transport Program (NUTTP). The Great Southern Rail is a 400 kilometer railway corridor that now serves mostly freight, but promises to revitalize passenger mobility from Adelaide to Melbourne. This will increasingly become a great enabler for tourism and hospitality, and business travel as well.

Smart Safety and Security for rail with COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) Solutions

The functional safety of rail networks are mandatory, as such transportation move many people from different points at high speeds with zero tolerance for errors or failures. With the pandemic continuing to drone on in waves across the world, the demand for functional safety is compounded with a new challenge for hygiene and safe distancing of passengers, all the while still conforming to consumer demands of a dependable and fast transportation system that never fails. In the pre-COVID-19 world, regular or daily general cleaning of the cabins and floors may suffice.

Rail safety as well as cybersecurity are mission-critical. For example, should a person falls onto a rail track with a speeding train towards the him, there must be safety controls to enable early braking. Likewise, should there be electrical failures on parts of the train or rail controls, there must be early warning controllers linked to a control panel for operators to intervene early. And in the modern era of incessant hacking, any system, including rail and transportation, that has computers and networks involved, are subject to potential intrusions.

Standards are everything in safety and cybersecurity. For rail systems, we need to cater for the functional safety foundation of IEC 61508, IEC 61511 for process-control and safety systems, IEC 62443 for IT security, as well as rail-specific safety standards such as IEC 62278 for RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety), IEC 62279 for rail software, and IEC 62425 for rail system safety.

"When looking at the safety aspects for rail systems, companies can consider either proprietary safety solutions, or commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions. Proprietary safety solutions may accord certain unique functionality and controls that some companies may prefer. However, given that most rail networks are built for longevity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance, operators may prefer to look at COTS safety controllers that are standardized and certified by trusted institutions, such as CENELEC SIL4-certified HIMA HIMax and HIMatrix COTS safety controllers," says Mr Friedhelm Best, Vice President Asia Pacific, HIMA. "The programming of these controllers are based on globally available standard programming languages in accordance with IEC 61131 and provide interfaces to all important technologies such as Ethernet, RS485, or RS232. Communication takes place via broadly accessible protocols such as CAN bus (implemented via COM-User-Task) or Profinet, or specialized high-performance protocols such as the HIMA Safe Ethernet for greater security. The Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) is one such adopter of the HIMA COTS solutions for its rail safety with success and relatively lower costs."

Surmounting Safety and Cybersecurity Challenges

Cybersecurity threats are ever present and escalating, just as we deal with the pandemic daily as individuals and as institutions. Therefore, the global protocols will continue to change our lives even as economies slowly unravel to manage the crises and damages already done. To enable large populations to move from home and workplaces safely enabled with functional safety, cybersecurity, and medical hygiene, will become the thrust of all rail network operators and government officials alike, especially through standardized and certified COTS safety controllers and solutions. The current and emerging technologies are rising to these challenges and we are surmounting these challenges. After all, we have all braved through economic and pandemic crises before.

Building a Financial Operating Center for SMBs in Southeast Asia: BizBank Launches Its Corporate Expense Card in Singapore

Singapore, Apr 7, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) –Atlantis, a Singapore based fintech company has announced the launch of its digital platform for small and medium Businesses (SMBs) – BizBank. BizBank’s mission is to empower SMBs by providing them with a comprehensive, technology-based financial and business platform to accelerate their growth in the digital era.

In Southeast Asia, SMBs form the backbone of the economy, and account for 70% of GDP and between 52% and 97% of total employment in the region. According to research by Google and Facebook, there are c. 310 million digital consumers in the region, who are fuelling a tremendous growth in online spending.

Yet the majority of SMBs in the region struggle to capture this demand because they are in the early stages of digital transformation. Approximately between $20 and $40 billion is spent by SMBs for various OPEX payments.

Existing tools and solutions in the market today are fragmented and do not cater to the specific size and scope of SMB operations. Cost effective and intelligent financial solutions will help remove barriers faced by SMBs, unlocking economic growth and prosperity in the region.

According to Sruthi Srinivasan, COO of BizBank, “We are building a ‘bank-in-a-box’ for small and medium businesses. Using our end-to-end platform, SMBs can digitize their operations and spend more time on their core activities – revenue growth and business expansion.”

BizBank aims to leverage the best of the emergent technological innovations to build an SMB-centric financial platform centered around the unique cash flow and business dynamics of these SMBs. “We are building a financial operating center for SMBs to manage their payments, credit, reportings, and grow revenue” – added Gaurav Sharma, CEO of Atlantis.

BizBank’s first product is a corporate expense card that has been designed to help SMBs spend less. It provides small business owners with convenience and flexibility, bank grade security, and full visibility and control over spends. BizBank also plans to introduce expense management, invoicing, and various credit products in the next few months across Southeast Asia.

However, there are some issues those within the space are facing, including, for example, siloed operating models, legacy technology, and low liquidity. The answer is a global debt marketplace for both borrowers and lenders with real-world safeguards, access, and bridges."

EQIFI is a decentralized protocol for pooled lending, borrowing, and investing for ETH, ERC-20 tokens including wBTC, Stablecoins, and select fiat currencies. It provides a single uniform platform for DeFi products with access to bank accounts, custody, debit and credit cards, OTC, and wealth management.

EQIFI CEO Brad Yasar: "As firm believers in the value of decentralization, we were excited about DeFi from day one however the access to these products was limited. With EQIFI, we are bringing the best of both worlds together: decentralized global financial products together with seamlessly integrated easy to use global digital banking."

EQIFI's infrastructure is optimized for real-time digital interactions, placing the project at the forefront of embracing today's ever-demanding culture that wishes to embrace the evolution of digital technologies.
