Only days after being rescued by HSBC, the UK arm of the Silicon Valley bank received bonuses for its executives that total between £15m to £20m. It might be argued that the SVB rescue was not a ‘bailout’ as such. It could be sustained that in fact the bank was bought by another bank (HSBC) … for a pound. So after approaching a near collapse of the bank, which was engineered by the bank’s executives themselves, when they decided to buy long term treasuries which they were then forced to sell at a huge loss when depositors asked for their funds. This gross negligence was rewarded, just like it was back in the Global Financial Crisis of 2007/2008, by large bonuses to the banks’ executives. Modest bonuses This kind of occurrence appears to be so common and so matter of fact now that even the general public hardly turns a hair when it is reported that recently failed bank executives have been awarded bonuses after contributing to the collapse of their bank. Comments on the matter by sources quoted by CoinTelegraph were along the lines that the bonuses were actually “modest”. It was also pointed out, as though to further bolster the case for the bonuses, that the stock owned by the executives had been “rendered worthless” by the bank’s collapse. Bonuses in the banking industry are as extremely common as they are extremely uncommon in other industries. The question might also be asked as to where the money for the bonuses comes from? Banking is inefficient, pays negligible return to depositors (especially after inflation is taken into account), and charges exorbitant fees to customers (credit cards, overdrafts etc.). Banking is obsolete In fact, given how financial innovations in crypto have sped up payments dramatically and at close to zero cost, it would appear that banking is practically obsolete. However, people are still forced to hold a bank account, and are obliged to deal with the inefficiencies and high costs of doing so on a daily basis. However, change is coming, and that change is likely to speed up corresponding to the frequency of bank collapses. The last throw of the dice for governments and their central banks is the imposition of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). These are likely to fail, given that they are based on the same system. Bitcoin anyone? Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

ChangeNOW, a non-custodial crypto exchange platform that also offers a broad range of crypto-related products and services, is setting its sights on Hong Kong, a major financial center in Asia, according to Hong Kong media reports. After seeing a growing interest in the platform among Hong Kong users, ChangeNOW made the commitment to secure a license from the local regulator that will allow it to extend its reach and contribute to the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies in the special administrative region of China. ChangeNOW announced its plans to apply for a license from the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (SFC) as part of its commitment to creating a safe, transparent, and compliant crypto trading ecosystem and following Hong Kong regulators' proposed decision to make large-cap tokens available to retail investors through licensed platforms. Retail clients may be able to access licensed virtual asset providers starting June 1, 2023. According to the SFC, the proposal will be subject to public consultation until March 31. Hong Kong has experienced an explosive increase in cryptocurrency interest, with ChangeNOW specifically witnessing its HK user numbers spike by 62% and transaction volumes peak by 202% in February. According to the exchange, Hong Kong users prefer stablecoins based on Polygon and TRON, as well as the SHIB altcoin. Source According to ChangeNOW, the most popular assets among Hongkongers are TRON, MATIC as well as stablecoins on the Polygon and Tron networks. This surge in activity indicates the growing popularity of cryptocurrency in the region and the territory's increasing openness to cryptocurrencies. A number of factors may have influenced Hongkongers to embrace ChangeNOW. First of all, the platform earned a sterling reputation for its efforts in combating hacks and fraud, culminating in the recovery of more than $20.5 million worth of tokens and coins. In 2021, ChangeNOW recovered $15 million worth of crypto for Compound and just a few weeks ago, it stopped hackers from stealing $1.5 million worth of Algorand tokens. Hong Kong users' preference for ChangeNOW may also be attributed to the fact that it has evolved into an all-in-one solution for crypto investors. Dozens of fiat currencies and over 800 virtual currencies are supported by the platform that can be exchanged in one click. With ChangeNOW's fiat-to-crypto on-ramps and off-ramps, along with its non-custodial NOW Wallet, anyone can buy, sell, and store crypto without prior experience with blockchain or crypto trading. The platform's premium version, ChangeNOW Pro, is available for a more personalized, smoother user journey. ChangeNOW has a number of nifty features that make it the go-to cryptocurrency exchange platform. Among these are intuitive interfaces available in several languages, fixed and floating exchange rates, fast transaction times, a non-custodial architecture that means users keep control of their own funds at all times, stringent AML and risk-prevention mechanisms, no hidden commissions, and a solid support team.

Following a string of successful business launches in the last year, Forbes top list regular Bryan Legend recently put out a hot tweet, highlighting the importance of automated revenue sharing. We thought we’d take a deeper look as Bryan is confident that an innovative approach to staking is the future. The Vulcan Blockchainproject he has developed is now pioneering an entirely new type of auto-staking function that effectively negates regulation and gives users access to multiple streams of passive income via the Fixed, Flex, and PowerPool tools within the platform. I hereby coin the term: “Blockchain Automatic Revenue Sharing” (#BARS).1) The #DeFi space is changing rapidly to become more efficient and passive income oriented. Investors are looking to participate into sound protocols with underlying revenue sharing strategies. — Bryan Legend (@BryanLegendCEO) February 27, 2023 Staking As a Form of Income With blockchain technologies progressing by leaps and bounds, many investment strategies have cropped up. Among the most popular is staking, which in essence boils down to lending user-owned coins to a blockchain node operator, or to the network itself, so the latter can run the network and validate transactions. Users are compensated for their commitment through rewards that the validator charges in the form of fees for hashing network operations on the blockchain. In short, staking guarantees passive income, which is proportional to the amount of funds staked, the lockup period, and the conditions of the validator. The rewards are paid in native network coins, which users are free to reinvest or sell, thus adding another layer of security to the concept of staking and protecting users from foreign asset exchange rate fluctuations by diversifying holdings. However, the ease of earning provided by staking has attracted the attention of global financial regulators and authorities alike, as seen recently with the SEC. What Is BARS? Bryan Legend believes that the DeFi market is undergoing rapid changes and the need for effective protocols is evident to provide investors with more guarantees, and a safer alternative to coming under regulatory scrutiny. The need for greater security and independence from external regulation is driving blockchain evolution, Bryan says, and that reality has motivated him to coin the term BARS – “Blockchain Automatic Revenue Sharing”. The blockchain Bryan Legend founded, Vulcan,now looks to become the stage for the next phase of DeFi. The features of Vulcan which marry with the concept of BARS, to provide a safe space of decentralized security aimed at generating income with complete focus on user adoption, on-chain volume and ecosystem expansion. By acting as an automatic revenue sharing service, Vulcan is a true game-changer for the industry. The Vulcan blockchain boasts all the aspects that define it as a Blockchain Automatic Revenue Sharing service, and the auto-rebasing mechanism adjusts the supply of native network $VUL coins every 15 minutes. The presence of an auto-compounding feature in the Vulcan blockchain, which increases $VUL coin holder ownership with every network epoch, only adds to its status of a next-generation DeFi solution. In addition, there are 3 innovative methods for earning passive income on the Vulcan platform: Fixed - Which is a consistent and unmodifiable fixed 44% APR (Annual Percentage Rate) per year which is distributed directly to VUL token holders, as rebases. All $VUL holders receive this just by holding $VUL coins in their wallet through the platform's Auto-Staking mechanism. This amount is distributed to all eligible wallets without the need to lock up coins at all, giving everyone in the ecosystem a high APR without commitment. Flex - This option sees that 1% of fees from all $VUL transactions conducted on the Vulcan Network which are accumulated throughout a 24 hour period is collected and then made available for all users which hold a minimum of 1 $VUL in their wallet to claim. The amount available for each holder is proportionate to their holding as a percentage of the total supply. PowerPool - Users can also claim tokens from the PowerPool - a 30 day cumulative total of unclaimed daily Flex rewards. PowerPool ensures that rewards are not lost and can be claimed by active users who claim their flex reward every day without missing a day. This feature encourages continued participation in the ecosystem, promotes on-chain activity for node operator rewards, and redistributes vital resources in the Vulcan ecosystem. Like Flex, PowerPool rewards are distributed as a percentage of the user's holdings in relation to the total supply. What’s Next? In light of the dawning changes in industry conditions and consumer preferences, Vulcan looks set to provide a swathe of products which benefit not only the users looking to make a reliable passive income, but also the ecosystem as a whole. Vulcan looks set to play host to the new standard in DeFi, and adopting the principles of Bryan Legend’s BARS may well see it through to success.

Credit Suisse has pulled the U.S. equities markets lower, but a positive sign is that Bitcoin and select altcoins are holding near their local highs.

On 10 February, 2023, the European Union published an exciting, but incredibly complicatedly named document, specifically The Common Union Toolbox for a Coordinated Approach Towards a European Digital Identity Framework: The European Digital Identity Wallet Architecture and Reference Framework, or ARF. We will dive into this document and what it means for Europe and for Dusk Network here, and to keep things brief, will follow the EU’s own suggested abbreviations for this document: EUDI and ARF. What is EUDI? The concept of a European Digital Identity (EUDI) has been brewing for a while now. All the way back on the 3rd of June 2021, the European Commission announced its intention to lead the way in making this product available to all European citizens. Now, almost two years later, the EU is ready to start moving on to the piloting phase. But piloting what? In effect, EUDI is a form of identification that can be used by any citizen of any European Union member state, by any company operating in the European Union, and accepted by any business or government agency in the European Union. Rather than replacing pre-existing identity mechanisms (i.e. national ID cards), EUDI sits alongside those as an auxiliary digitized identity system. For example, a bank in the Netherlands would continue to accept the Dutch identity card for new account openings, but would also accept EUDI for non-Dutch residents, meaning that they would only need to support two forms of identity verification. This is a step forward from banks’ current options to either learn how to support a plethora of identity certificates OR to restrict services to only people with Dutch IDs. EUDI would not be limited, however, only by the services that a member state’s identity card is used for, but rather would also extend to any interaction where attributes about a person need to be proven. The use cases that the EU itself identified are far and wide, including: Secure and trusted identification to access online services Mobility and digital driving license Professional business certifications Paying for things where different prices occur, such as toll roads Health records such as patent summaries, or ePrescriptions Educational credentials and professional qualifications Digital Finance products Digital Travel Credentials (such as passports and visas) Currently, proving identity and credentials in the European Union is confusing and prone to errors. In fact, a huge number of different certifications are needed for whatever it is that a citizen is trying to do, which also differ in number and style from member state to member state. True to the European mission to harmonize all member states into a single trade and travel area, they wish to solve this problem with one single EUDI for all. What is ARF? ARF is a recent document that marks the beginning of the EUDI pilot phase. It is essentially a checklist for each member state to agree upon and harmonize before piloting can commence. This includes: Defining roles and responsibilities of every player in the EUDI process. Outlining functional and non-functional requirements of the EUDI Wallet. Identifying potential building blocks. Since each member state’s implementation of EUDI needs to be interoperable with all the others, it is critical that everyone starts by building on the same set of standards and using consistent terminology. This is important when it comes to specifics like certifying the validity of an ID or document. For example, if a certificate has an expiry date, it should automatically become invalid on or after that date. But should the issuer also have the ability to revoke the certificate at any point before the certificate naturally expires? And if something is valid ‘until it is revoked’, does it need an expiry date just in case? The ARF sets guidelines for how all these things should be set up, how the information would flow between the parties involved, and who should have access to what. This is crucial, given that multiple parties are involved in even a simple transaction like issuing a discount rail ticket to a student. In this example, the parties include: The student. The railway operator. The university (which verifies the student’s status). A national student body (who may also have to verify the student). The operator of the railway station (if different from the operator). The train ticket website that sold the ticket. As you can see, even a seemingly simple transaction like purchasing a train ticket for a student can involve up to six different parties. Can you imagine what kind of complexity might be involved in dealing with sophisticated financial instruments? Why does Dusk Network welcome this? At Dusk Network we believe that the ARF specifications are an important step towards improving privacy and security in the EUDI process: two of our main priorities. The above (fairly simple) example of a student purchasing a train ticket highlights the need for selective disclosures. They would allow individuals to share only the necessary information, while simultaneously making unsafe practices like sharing copies of IDs or requiring personal data completely obsolete. You can think of selective disclosures like showing someone your driving license, but with your fingers covering all the information except your photo, since that is all that is really needed. Data leaks are becoming increasingly more common in society, and we at Dusk are alarmed that even the simplest of transactions carry a big potential for data leakage. The easiest way to protect users and organizations is to either store data in a secure encrypted format or to not get any exposure to it. To address this concern, the ARF specifications point to a EUDI that must-have features such as certificate issuance and revocation, encryption, secure transfer of identity and other personal information, and a range of selective disclosure options. That sounds a little familiar, doesn’t it? Why use Citadel for EUDI? Citadel is Dusk’s privacy-preserving digital identity solution that allows for privacy, compliance, decentralization, and a one-and-done approach to KYC. As such it would be a great choice for EUDI for multiple reasons, but mostly for privacy, compliance, and efficiency. Privacy is a key concern for everyone involved in the EUDI process. Citadel is built using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), which means that private data does not need to be revealed in order to confirm that a person has legitimate access to a service, is authorized to enter a country, or has a legitimate right to be somewhere. This approach to privacy and identity is new and revolutionary and allows for a solution that preserves privacy while still providing secure identity verification. In that sense, it goes above and beyond the EUDI’s current ambition of issuing a digital version of what already exists. ZKPs have the power to prove that something is true without any other disclosure and in the case of the EUDI, that would translate into giving people the power to prove eligibility without having to share their identity. Whether they enter a country, open a bank account, or even access a service, Citadel would ensure that their data remains private as well as dramatically reducing any chance of hackers’ attacks. Compliance is another advantage that Citadel offers, specifically programmable compliance. The EU can program its regulations into Citadel itself, which not only ensures compliance but it also makes it easier to update the regulations as things change. For example, during Brexit, Citadel as the EUDI could have been used to update the system and change what was and wasn’t allowed, making it simpler to maintain compliance. Presumably, UK citizens’ EUDIs would have been made invalid. Finally, efficiency is a crucial advantage of Citadel. Unlike traditional systems that require extensive data storage and compliance departments, Citadel eliminates the need for these costs. With Citadel, there would be no need to maintain redundant copies of databases storing the digital identities of approximately 450 million people, alongside entire legal, compliance, and cybersecurity departments. Only proof of eligibility would be transmitted, while data would not. If there is nothing to hack, there’s no need for all this overhead. In conclusion, Citadel has the potential to provide both the EU and its citizens with the privacy, programmable compliance, and efficiency that they need to make digital identities a success. Thanks to its use of zero-knowledge cryptography and programmable compliance, Citadel offers a new approach to digital identity that is both secure and efficient and has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach identity verification.

Sunnyvale, United States, 14th March, 2023, ChainwireRevolutionary Device Helps Consumers Escape from Big Tech, Monetize their Hardware & Data and Protect their Digital Assets Fog Works, a Web3 software company focused on developing solutions on the Datamall Chain, today announced Foggie Max, the world’s first personal Web3 server. Foggie Max is a consumer device that uses cutting-edge Web3 technology to deliver tangible benefits for everyday consumers and promises to be an essential on-ramp to Web3. Foggie Max can be purchased at a launch discount via crowdfunding website Indiegogo over the next 30 days here. Online consumers are overly reliant on Big Tech, leaving them vulnerable to service disruptions, price hikes, changes in terms and conditions, and occasional censorship. Additionally, Big Tech collects massive amounts of data from consumers, resulting in massive data breaches, privacy violations, and billions in oligopolistic profits. This all starts to change with Foggie Max, the world’s first personal Web3 server. "Today marks a new beginning of a new era,” said Xinglu Lin, CEO of Fog Works. “Foggie Max is the first consumer device to truly put the power of decentralization and Web3 into the hands of everyday consumers, so they can start freeing themselves from the clutches of Big Tech. It all starts now.” Foggie Max shifts power from Big Tech to individual consumers in multiple ways. Access to Ultra-Private dApps Owners of Foggie Max will be able to purchase and download decentralized apps – or dApps – to their Foggie Max, just like users might download apps from Google Play or Apple App Store. Once downloaded, these dApps belong to the user forever – they can never be remotely deactivated or discontinued. These dApps will also not have any monthly fees associated with them. Any data generated by these dApps will only be stored in the user’s Foggie Max, greatly enhancing the user’s privacy. Fog Works will develop some core dApps and encourage the development of third-party dApps. dApps already under consideration are a dApp that backs up all your smartphone photos; a private search engine; a private email server; a blog server; clubrooms with membership-only content; electronic patient records; in-home health & activity monitoring; video streaming; and digital wills. Over time, these dApps will reduce consumer over-dependence on Big Tech and enables consumers to become arbiters of their own data. The Ability to Merchandise and Monetize Personal Digital Assets Every file stored in Foggie Max will have a permanent URL recorded on the blockchain. Users can manage access controls for each file: 100% public, 100% private, or semi-private by giving specific Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) access. Users will also be permanently recorded as the creator of every unique file stored in their Foggie Max, mitigating digital piracy/misattribution. Foggie Max owners can sleep soundly, knowing that their public content will download fast via both Web2 and Web3 browsers. Furthermore, the Foggie Network will automatically edge cache popular public content, improving the download speed and availability of public content. Foggie Max owners can mint NFTs in bulk with no code from any type of file – picture, collage, audio, video, or even raw text data like your browsing history. They can then merchandise their digital assets in a fully decentralized marketplace – to accumulate likes and tips, or sell their digital assets outright -- with their Foggie Max powering their presence in the decentralized marketplace. The Ability to Monetize Personal Hardware Each Foggie Max ships with a 1 to 4-terabyte solid state drive, or SSD. Foggie Max can automatically share idle storage capacity with the Foggie Network, allowing its owner to earn crypto rewards in exchange for honoring data storage deals. All of these deals are automatically created on the Datamall Chain, a blockchain-focused on creating an efficient marketplace for decentralized storage. In addition, every Foggie Max has 2 USB 3.0 ports. Users with extra USB drives can attach those drives to Foggie Max and share that extra storage with the Foggie Network and earn crypto rewards. Disaster-Proof Data Storage which is Private, Secure and Market-Based Users can store private data on their Foggie Max, and they can make off-site backups to the Foggie Network to make their data disaster-proof. These off-site back-ups are: Completely secure: private backups to the Foggie Network are always completely encrypted. Only the original owner with the encryption key can decrypt the files. 100% private: Off-site backup deals are created on the Datamall Chain, and the Datamall Chain is completely private. The owner of the data won’t know whose machine(s) his/her data is residing on; and the owner of the machines(s) won’t know whose data is on their machine. Priced fairly: No one large Tech Giant sets oligopolistic pricing for these off-site data back-ups (and the price of data egress). The price of these off-site data stores is entirely market-driven, because the Datamall Chain is a fully decentralized marketplace that measures the fair market value of decentralized storage. Foggie Max is the only consumer device on the market to give its owners unprecedented access to dApps, the power to monetize both their data and hardware, and help them protect their data. Foggie Max achieves this by leveraging both the Datamall Chain (as desdcribed above) and CYFS, a next-generation Web3 protocol that enables the complete decentralization of applications and completely replaces HTTP, TCP/IP, and DNS. About Fog Works Fog Works, formerly known as W3 Storage Lab, is a Web3 software company headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA with operations around the world. Its mission is to leverage the power of Web3 to help people manage, protect, and control their own data. Fog Works is led by an executive team with a highly unique blend of P2P networking experience, blockchain expertise, and entrepreneurship. It is funded by Draper Dragon Fund, OKX Blockdream Ventures, Lingfeng Capital, and other investors. For more information, visit http://fogworks.io.

The Stargate Foundation, in agreement with FTX liquidators, has advised the DAO that issuing the STG token could put its safety at risk and may violate the automatic stay.

The banking crisis in the U.S. has led to aggressive buying in Bitcoin and select altcoins, which are nearing stiff overhead resistance levels.

After launching similar initiatives in Brazil and Argentina, Binance is widening its reach into LATAM by making its crypto debit card available in Colombia. Cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced the launch of a prepaid crypto card in Colombia, marking the third country in Latin America (LATAM) in which it has done so. Binance released the card in Argentina last year and in Brazil this past January. The exchange said: The prepaid crypto card is part of Binance’s ongoing effort to bridge the growing crypto ecosystem with traditional financial infrastructure and expand users’ ability to make everyday purchases with digital assets. Binance said its new prepaid crypto-linked card would allow users to pay with crypto to all merchants who accept standard debit and credit cards. Binance Partners with Movii Binance’s new crypto card is the product of a partnership with Movii, a Colombia neo bank. The prepaid crypto card currently supports BNB, BTC, ETH, ADA, DOT, SOL, SHIB, XRP, MATIC, LINK, and other stablecoins. Users will be able to configure which currency they want to spend. According to its announcement, users can enjoy a seamless transaction experience where their crypto will be converted to fiat in real-time at the point of purchase. Binance included a couple of perks with its card, including up to 8% cashback in crypto on eligible purchases and zero fees on ATM withdrawals. Daniel Acosta, Binance’s general manager in Colombia, commented: As one of the world leaders in crypto adoption, Colombia is an extremely relevant market for Binance. We believe that the launch of Binance Card will encourage even wider adoption of crypto among Colombians, contributing to the development of the blockchain and crypto ecosystem in the country while making another step to bring cryptocurrency closer to the everyday life of millions of people.

Bitcoin is trying to sustain above $20,000 and if it succeeds, ETH, MATIC, TON, and OKB may witness a strong recovery.

Defamation cases against media outlets happen all over the world but the legal practice varies hugely. Apart from geographical differences, the industry also remains a factor. Projects in new fields like blockchain are frequently exposed to debatable practices in journalism. But the blockchain market maturity brings potential defamation cases in the response to such practices. The Singapore-registered cryptocurrency company MinePlex is ready to take legal action against VTV Channel for trying to damage the blockchain project’s reputation. The company contacted the law firm and sent an official letter demanding issuing the rebuttal to the false allegations presented on March 9, 2023. The issue started when the national Vietnamese broadcaster channel VTV published on their website a video and an article titled "The electronic bank self-proclaimed as MinePlex operates illegally" that blamed the company for operating activities, seducing participants to join what journalists presented as a pyramid. First of all, per MinePlex’s letter, the company “has full legal bases and operating conditions”. The firm is registered in Singapore as MINEPLEX PTE. LTD. under the registration number 202025952D. The transparency of their operations can be also demonstrated by the successful pass of the KYC team check from the international company CertiK. Secondly, MinePlex insists that the company never claimed to be a traditional bank. In fact, from the start of the project they continued to inform customers about the fact that they partner with traditional banks to offer financial-related services such as payment cards to their customers. For example, on February 25, MinePlexannounced a strategic partnership with a major Brazilian bank and clearly stated that MinePlex users will get access to the services provided by the bank. Thirdly, in the letter, the company explained that neither did MinePlex promise profits. They point to the journalist's trick that sadly became quite frequent – taking the phrase out of the context. Indeed, during the interview, Fyodor Bogorodsky, the MinePlex CFO, mentioned the possible growth of the PLEX token to $1,500. But the context of the conversation clearly demonstrated that it was not and could not be the promise to the users. Finally, MinePlex also took the accusations of being a Ponzi scheme very seriously. The pyramid structure assumes the lack of product but MinePlex has already launched the whole ecosystem, as well as published the tech details of the algorithms on which it is based: "Already 2.5 years ago, the MinePlex technology was recognized as unique in the world media. The MinePlex blockchain is based on the work of two tokens. One mines the other.
