Oxygen Strikes Agreement with Leading Cybersecurity Firm Kudelski Security

ZUG, SWITZERLAND, Jun 25, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Oxygen.org, the alternative market infrastructure ecosystem, has signed a strategic agreement under which Kudelski Security, a division of the Kudelski Group in Switzerland, will provide security assessment and architecture support for the Oxygen platform going forward. Kudelski will conduct a series of reviews and audits of the Oxygen Protocol functionality and interfaces, as well as collaborating with Oxygen to assess future enhancements, changes, or additions to Oxygen's protocols.

Beginning with prime brokerage, Oxygen will replicate a growing range of products offered by investment banks, helping to build finance without Wall Street. As a DeFi ecosystem, Oxygen will enable delivery of these services to individuals and institutions alike, democratizing access to sophisticated investment, risk management and liquidity solutions.

Viktor Mangazeev, Co-founder of Oxygen, said "Institutions and individual investors have a right to expect that they can trust the quality, reliability and stability of the Oxygen ecosystem. For Oxygen, this partnership provides transparency, promotes absolute confidence that the protocol does precisely what it promises and demonstrates its security – all based on a thorough assessment by a leading global expert in cybersecurity."

Scott Carlson, Head of Blockchain Security for Kudelski Security – stated "I'm very excited to be working with Oxygen on this series of engagements. As they are on the leading edge of new business models in the DeFi space, it is important to show strategic leadership in promoting cyber security. Comparable traditional businesses have years of audits and tests, and the emerging ecosystems must put their best foot forward to build trust of users and environmental partners."

Oxygen is built on the growing and liquid Serum ecosystem which leverages an on-chain orderbook to match borrowers and lenders to provide fair rates. And it is made possible by massive throughput and ultra-low costs of the scalable Solana blockchain. Solana currently processes up to 50,000 transactions per second, each one costing just $0.00001, with plans to further scale these capabilities. Combined, this partnership can accelerate mass adoption of DeFi.

The Kudelski Security team will perform a Source Code Assessment, Architecture Review, and Architecture Verification of the Oxygen.org Finance system. Special attention will be focused on the Contracts Mechanism, Finance Logic, Yields, Borrowing, Lending, and Leverage mechanisms, as well as other related funds safety considerations. Verification analyses will confirm that formulas, cryptographic/mathematic, etc. in the software faithfully implement the specified intent of the protocol. Testing will include dynamic testing of key financial risk scenarios such as edge situations, liquidity events, and more.

Alex Grebnev, Co-Founder of Oxygen explained "Rapid innovation in open finance protocols like Oxygen opens up access to highly value-added investment banking products, which have always been the exclusive domain of institutional investors. But to gain the trust of a broader investment community and increase adoption, we must provide robust and continuous assurance of the security of our protocol. We will continue to work closely with our new partners Kudelski and we will publish findings and actions taken to ensure transparency."

About Oxygen Protocol

Oxygen is alternative market infrastructure ecosystem, built on the fast-growing and liquid Serum ecosystem and running on Solana's scalable blockchain. Its initial offering is an on-chain prime brokerage protocol through which users can earn yield, borrow from peers, trade directly out of fund pools, and get trading leverage against a portfolio of assets. As a DeFi protocol, Oxygen is part of a movement to create a more efficient and open financial system – or 'Finance without Wall Street' – that replicates the constructs of traditional finance without centralized control and intermediaries. Oxygen.org AG is based in Switzerland, which is recognized as an advanced jurisdiction for distributed ledger technology. Oxygen works with a Big Four audit firm and with leading international legal advisers to ensure asset safety and regulatory compliance. For more information, visit https://www.oxygen.org/

ONFO Announces Bitcoin Treasure Hunt

Missouri, USA, Jun 25, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Ten videos, a private key, and one Bitcoin. The hunt is on. The ONFO project is announcing the launch of a series of educational videos on cryptocurrencies on its official YouTube channel. The 10 videos will be delving into the inner workings of the crypto market and the details of the underlying technologies. The private key is hidden somewhere in the videos, all 10 videos must be seen in order to find the private key to enter the wallet at and claim the prize of 1 BTC.

The video episodes will be released on a periodic basis. Through the videos, the ONFO project is seeking to help its viewers understand cryptocurrencies as an asset class with the treasure hunt acting as an analogue of Bitcoin mining by its essence of identifying the correct combination of phrases akin to mathematical formula calculation.

The need for proper explanation of cryptocurrencies is vital to ensure timely onboarding of new users and their assimilation into the digital economy of the future. Considering the ongoing processes of digital transformation and transition to decentralized Web 3.0, the founders of the ONFO project believe that the series of educational videos will allow community members and newcomers to the world of cryptocurrencies better understand the underlying potential of digital assets.

Given the low level of penetration of information regarding the possibilities and opportunities of digital assets, many potential users are being left outside the industry. This results in slower onboarding of new users and the hampering of digital transformation in the global economy.

The ONFO project releasing the series of videos is a social network mining decentralized cryptocurrency platform founded by Dr. J.R. Forsyth, who has been involved in the cryptocurrency industry since its advent and has in-depth understanding of the technology. As a skilled and seasoned speaker, Dr. Forsyth is considered one of the world's leading experts on cryptocurrencies and will be giving insights into his expertise in each of the videos.

"I will be talking about Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious inventor of Bitcoin, in the video docu-series. Each segment is relatively short. In these new videos, there will be a Bitcoin private key hidden somewhere "in plain sight". That private key will unlock 1 whole Bitcoin that will go to the first person who discovers the key. It is a bit of a treasure hunt. The series will be released one by one on YouTube. I am the only person on the planet that knows where the private key is hidden and I will die with the secret if I have to," as Dr. Forsyth commented on the announcement.

As a fervent adherent of decentralized technologies, Dr. Forsyth is intent on taking part in the episodes, revealing and explaining the details of the crypto market with insight into his extensive experience of working in the industry. The launch of the first episode is scheduled for June 25th of 2021 with details and specifics slated to follow in the near future.

Maps.me Announces New Cashback Partnership with Booking.com

ZUG, SWITZERLAND, Jun 24, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Maps.me has announced a new partnership with Booking.com that will enable users to earn cashback rewards in their Maps.me digital wallet. Users of the world's most popular offline mapping tool will be able to earn up to 10% cashback when booking travel through a special integration of leading digital travel platform Booking.com in the Maps.me app.

With the launch of MAPS Rewards, users will be able to earn cashback in US dollars to their Maps.me digital wallet when they book accommodation with Booking.com in the Maps.me app. Initially, users who hold 30 MAPS Rewards will receive 3% cashback on their stayed reservations with Booking.com. But, as their holdings of MAPS Rewards increase to 100 or 300, they will unlock cashback rates of up to 7% and then up to 10%, respectively.

"This partnership with Booking.com offers great value to Maps.me users," said Alex Grebnev, Co-Founder of Maps.Me. "Maps.me already helps millions of users to find their way. Next, it will be delivering tangible benefits such as loyalty rewards earned by participating in the platform and money in their pocket through cashback on purchases. Through the Maps.me wallet they can also earn passive income on stored value – up to 8% by lending out balances that are collateralized by highly liquid assets. We look forward to creating new opportunities to deliver unique products and services and making them available to Maps.me users soon."

"Partnering with Maps.me on their new cashback rewards program is a natural fit for us at Booking.com," said Mark van der Linden, Senior Director of Partnerships at Booking.com. "As travel begins to open up and people start looking to explore the world again, seamlessly connecting them with the amazing range of incredible places to stay on our platform as they literally look to navigate their way through new destinations is a great opportunity. Whether they're looking for a funky city apartment, a secluded vacation home in the countryside or a resort on the beach, we've got the stay that's right for them."

The MAPS Rewards feature will be launched initially in selected markets in Europe and expanded in the future. In addition to the cashback partnership with Booking.com, users who hold MAPS Rewards will eventually be able to receive other discounts, with future rewards through other partners being able to be exchanged for cash, or to buy additional products and services. In all, the goal is for users to be able to effectively save money and service financial needs, and control when and how they want to use rewards they earn by using the platform.

"Our partnership with Booking.com is part of the next phase of our plans to ultimately embed a host of financial and other services that can be delivered when and how our customers need them. We are leveraging technology to connect consumers to real world DeFi applications that can enhance their financial lives. This is the first step in developing a core architecture for the masses," said Viktor Mangazeev, co-Founder of Maps.me.

The stored value in Maps.me wallets will be kept in AAA-rated assets and held in a Swiss trust structure that is administered by TMF Services, a regulated trust services provider in Switzerland. TMF is the largest corporate service provider in the world, trusted by over 60% of Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 companies. Users enjoy this security as well as the convenience of accessing these services via a platform they know and love – all for zero or low fees.[1]

In March, Maps.me announced that it is adding next-generation financial capabilities to its platform, which was used by more than 60 million people worldwide last year. Through the services that will be available via its digital wallet, Maps.me aims to enrich people's lives by providing them with a simple, immediate, and inexpensive way to pay, transfer across currencies, and earn passive income.

Maps.me 2.0 will enable users to:
– Earn yields of as much as 8% on stored value;
– Make payments via a linked credit card; and
– Transfer money instantly to friends and family globally and in 35 different currencies

Maps.me will soon be adding new features including eSIM connectivity, which will allow users to stay better connected.

Pertama Digital makes leap forward with two new investors for its digital bank

PENANG, Malaysia, Jun 24, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Pertama Digital Berhad announced today that it has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with Perfect Hexagon Commodity and Investment Bank Limited ("PHCIB") and Alsirat Sdn Bhd ("ASB") to secure investment for its proposed digital bank.

Licensed as a Labuan investment bank under the Labuan Financial Services Authority, PHCIB is wholly owned under Perfect Hexagon Limited ("PHL"), a Hong Kong based entity. PHL is a global commodity and trade finance leader. PHL is also an Associate Participant of Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Berhad and a Liquidity Provider for the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited.

Meanwhile, ASB is a wholly owned Bumiputera company that has more than 30 years' experience in delivering mission-critical projects for customers since its inception. It provides digital evidence management solutions, big data analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things services.

According to the two MoUs, PHCIB and ASB both wish to support financial inclusion initiatives by investing in the digital bank proposed by Pertama Digital. Both investors will participate by contributing to the digital bank's initial capital funds alongside Pertama Digital.

Pertama Digital's Director of Strategy, Saify Akhtar, who also leads the company's digital bank initiative, said: "We are pleased to welcome PHCIB and ASB as investors who bring additional long-term financial strength to our digital banking consortium, further enhancing our ability to deliver the financial inclusion objectives set out in Bank Negara Malaysia's licensing framework for digital banks."

PHL's Group Director, Yap Sheng Feng, said: "PHCIB's participation in this will be a synergistic collaboration with the consortium members, by leveraging on our experience in investment banking, treasury and asset management. With PHCIB's global presence, Pertama Digital's consortium can have a wider reach not just domestically but internationally as well."

ASB director Tan Sri Abdul Rashid bin Abdul Manaf added: "ASB has seen first-hand the need to accelerate digital inclusivity due to the nature of our business, and we have decided that Pertama Digital's unique focus on helping financially underserved Malaysians gain access to financial services is one that we would like to align ourselves with. The potential for horizontal synergies between ourselves, Pertama Digital and the digital bank is something that we look forward to as well."

Pertama Digital is building a bank with both ethical and digital cores, offering responsible financing for productive purposes, in the best interests of its customers. The consortium intends to handhold customers to boost financial literacy and improve the relationship between Malaysia's financially underserved and their money.

Pertama Digital, listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia, received overwhelming shareholder approval on 21 August 2020 for its pivot from the textile business to the technology sector. Through an investment into homegrown govtech company, DAPAT Vista (M) Sdn Bhd, Pertama Digital is capitalising on global digital acceleration trends and has recently seen increased uptake in the group's innovative digital solutions such as MyPay and eJamin, the world's first smartphone court bail payment solution, now live in courts all over Malaysia.

ILgamos going ILGON. New project, same goal.

DUBAI, Jun 23, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – ILGON is a new Ethereum-based blockchain platform with its own cryptocurrency, positioning itself as an ecosystem with endless possibilities. At first blush, the project seems perfectly legitimate. It has a team, an exchange listing, and even a few videos, though in Hungarian, which is no surprise because the team is also Hungarian.

The People

The CEO – Attila Vidakovics, precious little information can be found about this person on the Internet, except that he has appeared in the Hungarian cryptocurrency spaces for many years. The COO of the team is more important as Matyas Andras Den is positioned as the company behind ILGON. Even though Technokrats Ltd. has little to do with cryptocurrencies, it can be seen on the ILGON website. A simple search on the Internet reveals that using WIPO trademark data, the MLM company name Ilgamos can be found that has existed for many years, as well as another not insignificant name – Geza Kapitany, also Hungarian. The question that arises is how is any of this related to ILGON?

Digging deeper

ILGON did not conduct any ICOs, IPOs, or any other investment attraction activities that could lead it into the cryptocurrency world, and as of today, we can see a listing on the only WhiteBit exchange and a complete lack of data on CoinMarketCap. It is a centralized cryptocurrency that performs the main operational functions of the platform. This in itself would not have been a problem if the "famous" Ilgamos, Dubai-based, were not behind ILGON.

According to public information, ILGON is located in Budapest at the Bank Center office building. The office may be closely related to Technokrats Ltd., which is Ilgamos's long-term partner in Hungary. It is an interesting fact that the offices of ILGON and Ilgamos are located in the same business center.

In turn, Ilgamos's Facebook profile does not reveal any information about ILGON, and interestingly, the social media channels of ILGON do not promote Ilgamos either. Regardless, Ilgamos has been openly promoting ILGON to its customers and partners via e-mail newsletters since the end of May 2021. Of course, that would not have been a problem except for one thing.

Ilgamos has attracted over a million euros, mainly from Asian private individuals, over the past few years, but has never provided the promised benefits or products to its investors. Its previous products can be found on the official website, where BTC, Ethereum, and Ilcoin are displayed. However, Ilgamos suspended the sale of these cryptocurrencies, citing unsubstantiated information in May 2020. Since then, Ilgamos has not paid compensation to its investors.

Plain To See

Thus far, several legal processes are underway against Ilgamos and its partner companies. They will soon be made public. You don't have to go far, as Google search results immediately display numerous information about the previous illegal activities of Ilgamos. The essence of the pyramid is that deposits do not yield any product or income. The commission is what circulates among the members until the bubble simply bursts. The scheme collapsed in May 2020, and Ilgamos is currently trying a rather tricky way to replay a million euros debt to the investors using the newly created ILGON coin, rather than refund them in agreed cryptocurrencies or simply return the money back.

We do not talk about the future of ILGON, but the publicity it currently has, and the secrecy that accompanies Ilgamos, will not shed any favorable light on Attila Vidakovic's team. This raises a question regarding the purpose of creating ILGON. According to the current situation, the project looks like a life raft which Geza Kapitany, CEO of Ilgamos, is trying to use to pay off his debt of several million euros to investors.

Summing up

The Investors who have been affected by Ilgamos are finding themselves in a difficult position now. By not accepting ILGOIN as compensation, they risk losing all of their investment.

Ilgamos makes no valid statement as to why it is unwilling to repay its debts in previously agreed currencies. The dilemma is compounded by the Ilgamos team's silence, which clearly does not intend to prove that the project is a legitimate undertaking.

Blockpass Accepted to FCA Regulatory Sandbox

HONG KONG, Jun 23, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – We're very excited to be able to reveal that Blockpass has been accepted into the latest cohort of the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA's) regulatory sandbox, a system which enables the ability for businesses to try out revolutionary new solutions in a market ecosystem with real users. Blockpass is proud to have made it through a selection process where fewer than 25% of applicants were successful, being one of 13 accepted from a pool of 58.

Dedicated to establishing honest, fair and effective financial markets, the UK-based FCA (https://www.fca.org.uk/firms/innovation/regulatory-sandbox) monitors and regulates nearly 60,000 financial services firms and financial markets. To promote this and foster innovation, the FCA provides a regulatory sandbox for companies to develop and test cutting-edge solutions. This has a number of benefits for the companies involved, including providing a controlled environment for testing, assistance in including the necessary customer safeguards, access to finance and potentially a faster and less expensive time-to-market.

This cohort, the seventh of the FCA's regulatory sandbox (https://www.fca.org.uk/firms/regulatory-sandbox/regulatory-sandbox-cohort-7), comes in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic with a particular interest in solutions that deal with the effects of the pandemic and its impact on people and businesses. Some specific aspects that the FCA were looking for in this cohort included:

– The ability to detect and prevent fraud and scams.
– Providing support around the financial resilience of vulnerable consumers.
– Improving access to finance for small and medium sized enterprises.

As an identity management platform and provider of simple and effective KYC and AML solutions, Blockpass aims to address all these issues.

Previously over the course of the pandemic, Blockpass has been working on solutions and partnerships for various sectors and use cases, including the healthcare industry (https://blockpass.org/2020/05/24/kyc-for-healthcare/) and for 'Covid passports' (https://blockpass.org/2020/04/17/kyc-digital-certificate-service-for-covid-19-testing/). In addition to this, Blockpass is perfectly situated to cater for remote verification (https://blockpass.org/2020/04/08/building-trust-through-reusable-kyc-in-the-covid-19-remote-world/) as people adjust to working in lockdown situations and new remote-working practices that will no-doubt continue after the pandemic has subsided. By putting users back in control of their own data and facilitating fast, secure and effective identity solutions, Blockpass not only removes the repetitive and time-consuming aspect of verification, but works with data protection and privacy standards around the world – vital opportunity for companies in the financial service industry.

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 have led to a surge in interest for Blockpass' On-chain KYC(TM) solution which promises to change the way blockchains enable compliance. Its recent integration with TrustSwap expands Blockpass' services to a whole new raft of businesses and solutions.

About Blockpass

Blockpass, the pioneer of On-chain KYC(TM), is a fast, fully comprehensive KYC & AML screening software-as-a-service for blockchains, Crypto, Defi and other regulated industries. With Blockpass, you get an unmatched set of benefits for any compliance service that includes pay-as-you-go, no setup cost, no integration necessary, free testing, immediate launch and at the lowest cost. Blockpass' KYC Connect(TM) platform enables businesses to select requirements for customer onboarding that can include ID authentication, face-matching, address checking, AML ongoing monitoring and/or screening of sanctions lists, politically exposed persons (PEP), and adverse media. Through Blockpass, end-users easily create a verified portable identity that they can control and re-use to onboard with any service instantly. By integrating with Chainlink Network – a decentralized oracle solution – in early January, Blockpass introduced the first On-chain KYC(TM) solution that will service many blockchains in the years to come. The Blockpass App is available from the App Store and Google Play.

1982 Ventures Invests in Singapore’s First Wealthcare App HUGO

SINGAPORE, Jun 22, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – 1982 Ventures backs Hugo, a Singapore based digital wealth and savings app that helps Singaporeans develop healthy saving and investing habits. The Hugo app is now available in both Apple iOS and Google Play for iOS.

– Hugo raises $2 million (USD) in Seed round from 1982 Ventures and prominent family offices and angels
– Hugo's Wealthcare App gives customers control over their financial well-being and access to flexible savings and investment products
– Hugo recently launched its Gold Vault which makes investing in gold easy and accessible to all, with increments as small as S$0.01

Hugo has secured funding of $2 million (USD) from 1982 Ventures, prominent global and Singaporean family offices and angels. Hugo helps users develop healthy saving and investing habits that make financial security accessible to everyone in an easy and intuitive way. Founded in late 2019 by David Fergusson (CEO), Ben Davies (COO) and Braham Djidjelli (CPO), Hugo is positioned as the first Wealthcare App in the region.

David Fergusson, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, of Hugo stated "Money is the biggest cause of stress and Covid-19 has only reinforced how financially unprepared most of us are. We are excited to introduce Hugo at a time when financial wellbeing has become so relevant."

Hugo's most unique feature is its Gold Vault and makes investing in gold easy for all. Hugo customers can buy or sell gold for as low as 0.01 SGD. Gold has always been a core investment for the ultra-wealthy and offers safety and wealth preservation in times of inflation and market turmoil. Hugo's Gold Vault is backed by physical gold stored in an accredited LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) vault and insured by Lloyds of London, giving savers the same protections as large hedge funds and private banks.

Herston Powers, Managing Partner, of 1982 Ventures said "Hugo is democratizing access to gold with a low fee product that is extremely thoughtful and approachable. Singapore is a perfect market to launch the next generation of digital banking and wealth solutions."

Hugo is on a mission to help users save more. Hugo customers benefit from Hugo's Gold Vault (gold investing), Roundup (auto savings), Money Pots (setting financial goals) and the Hugo Platinum Visa Debit Card.

Scott Krivokopich, Managing Partner, of 1982 Ventures stated, "Hugo is proving that fintech startups will win the digital banking race in Southeast Asia by launching the first Wealthcare App in Singapore. The founders have a long and deep history in the region with roots that trace back to the 1930s in Singapore. Hugo has the banking and regulatory experience required to protect customers and grow a sustainable business."

Hugo will use the funds to continue to enhance its offering with new customer-driven products and services. Hugo is also exploring market expansion in several Southeast Asian geographies and outside the region with local partners.
