Telos Neutralizes its Past and Present Carbon Footprint - Net Zero

Telos Foundation

Telos Blockchain (ticker: TLOS) is thrilled to announce to the billion plus global citizens that proudly celebrate and embrace Earth Day that they now have a carbon-neutral smart contract option. Telos with the consulting aid of Plannet Zero, part of RedShaw Advisors Ltd, a leading carbon risk management and procurement firm, have committed to purchasing sequestration projects that will negate the emissions of the blockchain’s entire history. The offsetting is being performed in the form of biochar, which sequesters carbon (removes it from the atmosphere permanently), versus buying emission avoidance credits. Going Net Zero is the sweet spot that the Telos core developers have been striving to tap into for some time now. Up until now Telos’ energy consumption has been scaled down via decarbonization to bring the energy consumption down to less than 0.000002 kWh per transaction. This was monumental when compared to Bitcoins’ 2,258.49 kWh per transaction, Ethereum’s 238.22 kWh per transaction or even Visa’s ~0.00148 kWh per transaction where Telos is still a massive ~740x less. This was a great stride, and the team is very proud of this achievement, but it was still short of the goal of becoming environmentally invisible. Plannet Zero worked with Telos to calculate their carbon footprint by conducting an analysis to quantify the Telos blockchain’s energy consumption over the life of the chain. This analysis dated back to the first block ever generated, late 2018. Now, Telos is continuing to work closely with Plannet Zero to validate Telos’ emissions profile and carbon reduction purchases. Telos has also already allocated the funds needed to continue sequestering the equivalent release of carbon by the blockchain into the future. The commitment made was to first neutralize the carbon footprint of the past and then to continue neutralizing the carbon footprint as needed. As a result, Telos will now be a Net Zero Layer 1 blockchain that is still ludicrously fast, inexpensive, not congested, credibly neutral, decentralized, easy to deploy on and free of any front running / MEV. “dApps now running on the tEVM will be running carbon neutral smart contracts by default. The same neutrality umbrellas over all the end users minting and trading NFTs or coins on the Telos Blockchain. There is something bigger than all of us to be said about this achievement!” AJ Dinger, Telos Head of Business Development In addition to offsetting the blockchain’s carbon footprint, Telos in conjunction with Plannet Zero, is in the final stages of meeting all carbon neutral requirements for Scope 1, Scope 2 and operational scope 3 emissions for every aspect of Telos, including Telos Foundation and Telos Core Development staff. The carbon offset will be all encompassing and will be in full compliance with BSI PAS 2060 and will be verified by BSI. About Telos Live since 2018, Telos Blockchain (ticker: Tlos) is a third-generation smart contract platform that offers compatibility with Solidity, Vyper and Native C++ smart contracts. Telos provides full EVM/Solidity support with fixed low-cost gas fees and no front running. Uniquely, Telos also offers a path to fee-less transactions via its robust native C++ smart contract support. Even while operating as a Net Zero Blockchain, the chain still sustainably support hundreds of millions of transactions per day, produces blocks in 0.5 second intervals (on a first-in-first-out basis, eliminating front running on the network) and securely validates transactions via a credibly neutral and globally decentralized block producer network. The Telos Blockchain has the throughput needed to facilitate and scale the thriving Metaverse / Web 3.0 better than any other blockchain. Its performance is unrivaled in the industry and was purpose-built to offer speed, scalability, cost-effectiveness, credible decentralization, and end-user fairness. Telos, harnesses its power by utilizing tight C++ on the frontend and a custom WASM runtime environment on the backend. About The Foundation The Telos Foundation is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization established as a promotional and funding body to advance the Telos Blockchain Network and provide support to network applications.

INSURANCE LUMINARIES FLOCK TO HIGHWING

Highwing

Highwing, commercial insurance’s first marketing platform, has named insurance veteran Jim McKenney as Chief Executive Officer and added an advisory board of highly experienced professionals to support its aggressive expansion.

Among other notable achievements, he led a 600-person team of experts in product and underwriting as Senior Vice President for Liberty Mutual. As EVP Business Head and Chief Strategy Officer for Intellect Design Arena, he led global digital transformations for leading large-scale carriers. A newly created Advisory Board will support McKenney.

tvScientific Raises $20 Million Series A Funding to Drive Performance Advertising for Connected TV

tvScientific

tvScientific ( tvscientific.com ), the most sophisticated performance advertising platform built for the connected TV (CTV), announced today it has raised $20 million in Series A funding to expand on its mission to make TV advertising a massive growth driver for brands and apps of all sizes. The round was led by Norwest Venture Partners, with participation from strategic partners NBCUniversal and Hearst Ventures. “Advertisers have always coveted the reach and engagement of television, but the medium’s immeasurability has made it inaccessible to all but the biggest brands,” said Jason Fairchild, co-founder and CEO of tvScientific. “We’ve unlocked the awesome power of television for all types of advertisers by simplifying and automating CTV buying and optimization while leveraging massive data to prove the value of TV advertising.” Built specifically for performance marketers, tvScientific is the first company to offer ad buying, measurement, and optimization for CTV advertising all in one platform. The tvScientific platform connects with 95% of AVOD streaming apps through direct deals allowing advertisers to successfully scale their campaigns. The platform leverages proprietary attribution technology that enables advertisers to match ad exposure to site visitations and other desired outcomes with a 1:1 deterministic ID match, giving advertisers 100% accuracy and transparency they value. The end result are highly targeted ads that can be optimized through tvScientific's proprietary automatic optimization technology to help advertisers achieve their user acquisition goals, all while giving advertisers radical transparency and complete control over their data, including access to log-level events. Television has been one of the most prominent advertising channels since the 1940s and ‘50s, but most performance-based advertisers eschew the channel in favor of digital media and other, more quantifiable channels. In the rise of CTV, which currently penetrates 94 million U.S. households, and its inherent measurement capabilities, performance advertisers face new opportunities. eMarketer predicts that CTV ad spend in the U.S. will reach $29.5 billion by 2024 — more than 40% of total TV ad spend today. “The reality is that the $72 billion U.S. television advertising market is dominated by fewer than 500 national advertisers,” said Jeff Crowe, managing partner, Norwest Venture Partners. “CTV opens the door for many new advertisers to pursue performance advertising in an effective and cost-efficient way. tvScientific has practically eliminated the friction in CTV advertising and made it far easier for businesses of all sizes to buy CTV inventory with the control, measurement and accountability they’re accustomed to getting from search and social channels.” Since launching its platform in April of 2021, tvScientific has experienced rapid growth. tvScientific offers fully managed services and also makes its technology available as a self-serve platform so marketers can bring their performance TV buying in-house at any time. The funding brought tvScientific’s total amount raised to $23 million, including a $3 million seed round from IdealabX, AperiamVentures, and angel investors from companies such as Yahoo!, Kabam, Integral Ad Science, GoFundMe and others. The company was founded by senior executives with deep roots in digital media, programmatic advertising, and ad verification, including Bill Gross, founder of GoTo.com; Jason Fairchild, co-founder of OpenX; Kent Wakeford, former COO of Kabam and co-founder of Integral Ad Science; and David Koye, former chief digital officer of SummitMedia. The company will use the new funding to grow its customer base, hire for key roles in engineering, product, data science, marketing, sales and other departments, and continue innovating the product in support of the company’s mission of making TV accessible, measurable and performant for all businesses. About tvScientific tvScientific is the most sophisticated performance advertising platform built for connected TV. The tvScientific platform makes TV advertising accessible and measurable for brands and apps of all sizes. tvScientific offers a self-managed solution custom built for performance marketers, that simplifies and automates TV buying and optimization, leveraging massive data to prove the actual value of TV advertising. The platform reaches 95% of AVOD inventory using proprietary, deterministic ID technology to measure ad exposure to outcome in an approachable, radically transparent and scalable way. An Idealab company, tvScientific was co-founded by senior executives with deep roots in programmatic advertising, digital media, and ad verification. The company is headquartered in Pasadena, California. For more information, visit https://www.tvscientific.com.

Panasonic Connect North America Expands KAIROS Platform with Development of Cloud-Based Solution

Panasonic Professional Imaging & Visual Systems

Panasonic Connect North America today announced plans to develop a cloud-based solution for video production within the KAIROS ecosystem for the U.S. market that allows crews to take advantage of the KAIROS IT/IP production platform’s powerful video processing and distribution capabilities without confining them to an on-premise studio. The cloud-based solution works with the on-premise KAIROS IT/IP platform ( released in May 2020), which revolutionized video production by giving professionals unlimited control to deliver rich content to multiple screens and streams. This new cloud-based solution enters the market amid the proliferation of streaming platforms and the increased demand for quality video content and high production value. With corporations hosting more hybrid-style events and houses of worship looking to enhance virtual services, the cloud is playing an increasingly important role in streamlining workflows for greater efficiency. For industries, such as higher education and house of worship, where it may be costly to set up a full-scale production studio, KAIROS Cloud-Based Solution can support the entire workflow in a simplified set-up. It consolidates video materials captured by cameras into the cloud and makes them accessible not only from the production site but also from remote offices and homes, allowing production teams to edit, produce and distribute content efficiently in real-time. Moving video production to the cloud means production sites can reduce their initial on-site investments and leverage the system to support hybrid workflows. “While more and more organizations are looking to grow and enhance their video-based content, not all will have the space or budget to develop a full-scale production studio,” said Michael Bergeron, Senior Category Owner, Advanced Technology & Video Production at Panasonic. “That’s where flexible solutions like KAIROS Cloud-Based Solution will become key to the industry’s future, giving all types of production crews a decentralized way to shoot, produce, distribute and deliver video content more efficiently.” The new cloud solution shares the same software and underlying technology as the on-premise version, allowing for integration with any existing KAIROS ecosystem. This means production crews can easily leverage the cloud and on-premise versions separately or together for a seamless production workflow. KAIROS Core on premise delivers a single frame of latency to local screens -necessary for IMAG applications, while a cloud account offers new features activation on a project basis. Adding the cloud component to a local hardware further enhances the flexibility and scalability for a production team at any level. KAIROS customers using the cloud-based solution will also have the option to leverage a KAIROS Control Panel, with either the original AT-KC10C1 full size panel or the new AT-KC10C2 compact panel, to manage production workflows. The AT-KC10C2 (available Q4 CY2022) will enable the same level of operability as the AT-KC10C1 but in a compact layout ideal for fly-packs or smaller control rooms. KAIROS Cloud-Based Solution also offers a monthly subscription-based pricing model that can scale up and down depending on production needs, making it more accessible to those who do not want to invest in a full-blown studio. Production teams can also increase and decrease storage as necessary. To expand the flexibility of the broader KAIROS on-premise platform, Panasonic is also announcing the availability of Agile I/O, a new feature that provides AV professionals with additional input and output capacity and enhanced audio functions to support larger and more complex productions. The new cloud-based solution, along with the KAIROS on-premise platform, the new AT-KC10C2 compact panel and Agile I/O, will be on display at Panasonic’s NAB booth (C3607) from April 24-27, 2022. For more information on the entire KAIROS video production solutions, visit: https://na.panasonic.com/us/kairos # # # About Panasonic Connect North America Established on April 1, 2022 as part of the Panasonic Group’s switch to an operating company system, Panasonic Connect North America is a B2B company offering device hardware, software and professional services to provide value to customers across the public sector, federal government, education, immersive entertainment, food services and manufacturing industries. With the mission to “Change Work, Advance Society, Connect to Tomorrow,” Panasonic Connect North America works closely with its community of partners, innovators and integrators to provide the right technologies to address customers’ ever-evolving needs in today’s connected enterprise.
