kevin.

Dans un événement révolutionnaire destiné à bouleverser le paysage des paiements en magasin, kevin., un pionnier de la technologie de paiement, a réussi la toute première transaction NFC de compte à compte sur un iPhone. Vidéo de la transaction: lien Dans un monde financier où la commodité et la sécurité sont de la plus haute importance, kevin. a établi un nouveau sommet en exécutant le premier paiement NFC de compte à compte non-Apple Pay sur un iPhone.

Pavel Sokolovas, co-fondateur de kevin., exprime l'ampleur de ce moment: « Briser les dernières barrières des paiements NFC sur les appareils iOS représente un véritable moment charnière.

Maintenant, avec les changements réglementaires en cours, kevin. a rapidement obtenu l'autorisation dans le cadre du programme d'entitlement NFC d'Apple et a commencé le développement dans leur environnement contrôlé. Juste six semaines après le lancement du programme d'Apple, kevin. célébrait l'exécution réussie de la transaction expérimentale en mode développement, préparant le terrain pour ce qui pourrait révolutionner les interactions aux points de vente (POS). Sokolovas a décrit le parcours technique: « Nous avons développé de manière rigoureuse dans le cadre architectural d'Apple. Notre équipe a travaillé sans relâche pour intégrer notre solution technique kevin. dans l'émulation de carte hôte (HCE) d'Apple, comprenant les normes de sécurité, la validation des transactions et bien plus encore pour créer une expérience transparente permettant aux utilisateurs des transactions à partir de leurs applications bancaires ou de portefeuille. » La Commission européenne continue de surveiller les retours des premiers développeurs comme kevin. tout en anticipant le démarrage officiel d'une mise en œuvre plus large du NFC. Cette surveillance souligne l'engagement de la Commission à favoriser l'innovation et la concurrence équitable dans le domaine des paiements mobiles. Le secteur anticipe une montée en flèche de solutions de paiement similaires à la suite de ce succès initial. kevin. a en effet établi un précédent dominant, promettant un marché ouvert où les consommateurs ne sont plus limités par des plateformes de paiement spécifiques aux dispositifs - une refonte fondamentale de la façon dont les transactions sont menées dans le monde entier. kevin. est une entreprise de technologie visionnaire qui redéfinit les systèmes de paiement pour répondre aux besoins de demain.

TRON x HTX DAO Hong Kong Meetup 2024: Building a Metaverse Free Port in Hong Kong

HTX

On April 9, the "TRON x HTX DAO: Hong Kong Meetup 2024" event, hosted by TRON and co-organized by HTX DAO, took place in Hong Kong with great success. This bustling event brought together the brightest minds of the HTX DAO ecosystem: project leaders, committee members, and influential KOLs. Their energy was palpable as they delivered speeches delving into the future of HTX DAO and the ever-changing crypto landscape. TRON founder Justin Sun took center stage via a video, outlining the exciting developments within the TRON ecosystem and HTX DAO's commitment to decentralization. Sun emphasized the mission: leveraging blockchain technology to build a borderless financial system, empowering billions of unbanked individuals worldwide. This dedication is reflected in TRON's impressive statistics: over 220 million registered accounts, 7.4 billion transactions facilitated, a whopping $23.5 billion in total value locked, and over $11 trillion in total transaction value, ranking second to Ethereum among global public chains. Meanwhile, HTX DAO is forging its own path. Having recently concluded its inaugural People Committee election, HTX DAO established strategic partnerships with over 30 parties, such as projects, institutions, and exchanges. This collaborative approach gathers diverse expertise and influence within the blockchain sphere, shaping a new model for decentralized ecosystem governance. Justin Sun wasn't just looking back; he cast his vision towards the future of crypto. He highlighted the recent crypto spotlights, including the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and innovations in Layer 2 and Web3. These advancements, he argued, are attracting traditional finance and fueling a bullish market across cryptocurrencies, anticipating Bitcoin to hit an all-time high of $160,000 to $200,000 post-halving. Sun emphasized the critical question in the bull cycle: how can communities and teams thrive in the next decade? He believes the answer lies in decentralization and community-driven governance. Sun sees these elements as essential for fostering transparency, fairness, and collective decision-making within crypto projects. This focus on community aligns perfectly with his long-held vision for the blockchain industry – a vision where he started in this realm. Besides technological development, Sun stressed the need for a cultural shift within the crypto industry, advocating for a strong foundation of communities built on transparency, fairness, and user autonomy. This community-centric approach, he believes, will be the true driving force for the future of TRON DAO and HTX DAO – a future where people, communities, and users are seamlessly integrated. Sun also pointed out that Hong Kong is rising as a gateway for blockchain services. He expressed his belief that Hong Kong has the potential to become a financial free port within the metaverse, offering a stage for engagement within the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries. Additionally, a diverse range of KOLs and project representatives took the stage. Moon, a newly elected member of the HTX DAO People Committee, emphasized the constant presence of opportunity in the market. Jessie, representing the Miss Asia Charity Fund, highlighted HTX DAO's ability to empower each member to become a community leader. Dr. K, founder of MetaMCN, expressed unwavering confidence in HTX DAO's future success, fueled by active participation and support. Cc and Mia, the driving force behind SHEHUB DAO, showcased their platform designed to empower female professionals in Web3. They focus on knowledge sharing, networking, and collaboration, ultimately fostering greater female participation in the space. The successful hosting of both the 2024 Hong Kong Web3 Festival and the TRON x HTX DAO: Hong Kong Meetup 2024 event has fueled excitement for Hong Kong's role in the future of blockchain and cryptocurrency. As industry leaders, HTX DAO and TRON remain dedicated to providing more opportunities for communication and collaboration with Web3 participants and entrepreneurs. Their ongoing commitment to the exploration of Hong Kong's innovations within the crypto field promises to inject fresh momentum into the global cryptocurrency market to boost growth and prosperity.

HTX Ventures Invests in Monad Labs to Support Parallelized EVMs Ecosystem

HTX Ventures

n alignment with its mission to drive innovation and advancement within the blockchain ecosystem, HTX Ventures has strategically invested in Monad Labs, a pioneering team behind the development of the high-performance Monad blockchain. This investment reaffirms HTX Ventures' commitment to nurturing cutting-edge Web3 solutions and supporting projects that tackle critical challenges facing the industry. The Monad blockchain is a state-of-the-art Layer-1 blockchain platform known for its unique rearchitecture of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It aims to address Ethereum's limited throughput problem, ultimately enabling decentralized applications (DApps) to scale for mass adoption. This platform intends to deliver Ethereum's flexibility alongside Solana's performance, boasting over 10,000 transactions per second, 1-second block times, and immediate finality, all while maintaining full backward compatibility with EVM and key Ethereum infrastructure. The tech startup Monad Labs, founded by the former team from traditional finance giant Jump Trading, recently raised $225 million in Series A Funding with a valuation of $3 billion to build the scalable smart contract distributed ledger. "Monad is driven by a great team with a strong understanding of market mechanisms and connectivity," remarked Edward, Managing Partner at HTX Ventures. "Their go-to-market strategies and tactics are similar to Solana, demonstrating a savvy approach to blockchain innovation. Our investment underscores our commitment to supporting smart teams like Monad Labs, who are driving big changes in the Web3 ecosystem." “We are thrilled to partner with HTX Ventures,” said Keone Hon, Co-founder and CEO of Monad Labs. “Their track record of supporting the growth of decentralized technologies, and their strong relationships across the space, make them an ideal partner for our team. We can definitely learn a lot from collaboration.” The Monad blockchain will launch a testnet in the coming months, with the mainnet deployment planned for later this year. The blockchain will employ the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and will be Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) -compatible. As such, projects on Monad will be able to interact with the EVM software platform, where developers from many other blockchain projects also create interoperable decentralized applications on the Ethereum network. About Monad Labs Monad Labs is an early-stage, venture-backed tech startup founded in 2022. Two of the three co-founders of Monad Labs have roots in Jump Trading, where they worked together for seven years building low-latency high-frequency-trading (HFT) systems, and later contributing to R&D at Jump Crypto in 2021. This was the genesis of Monad — synthesizing learnings from HFT, as well as some new ideas, to build the most performant and robust smart-contract blockchain possible. Monad applies expertise in low-latency programming, compiler optimization, systems engineering, cryptography, and graph theory to substantially advance the performance and scalability of decentralized computation.

Team Internet Group begin trading on the OTQX with ticker TIGXF

Team Internet Group PLC

Team Internet Group CEO Michael Riedl joined Proactive at their OTC studio in New York City to mark the company's debut trading on the OTCQX under the ticker symbol "TIGXF." Riedl discussed the significant transformation the company has undergone since its IPO on the London Stock Exchange a decade ago, leading to a rebranding to better reflect its current operations. Describing the company's focus as entirely on the internet, Riedl explained that Team Internet operates various businesses that synergize like a team. It specializes in two main segments: online marketing and online presence. In online marketing, Team Internet creates AI-generated consumer journeys that convert general interest media users into confident consumers. For online presence, it supplies hosting providers globally with the domain names necessary for their customers. Riedl emphasized the exponential growth of social media usage, highlighting Facebook's user base doubling from 1.5 billion in 2018 to 3 billion in 2023, indicating the increasing importance of social media in advertising. He noted that the company experienced balanced growth in both operating segments in 2023 and is integrating a new acquisition, Shinez, to enhance its processes. Under Riedl's leadership, Team Internet has completed nearly 20 acquisitions, contributing to a 25% compound annual growth rate over the past five years. Riedl attributed this success to the rise of social media and data privacy trends, as well as a shift towards local top-level domains over.com due to saturation. The U.S. remains a crucial market for Team Internet, generating 53% of its revenue, with further expansion anticipated following the Shinez acquisition. Riedl's visit to New York underscores the importance of the American market to the company's ongoing growth and development strategies.
