Trending MemeFi Token Cutoshi (CUTO) Announces New Development, As Cutoshi Swap Website Goes Live

Cutoshi

Cutoshi (CUTO), one of the standout tokens in the MemeFi space, just hit a big milestone — the launch of its new platform, Cutoshi Swap. It’s designed to make trading crypto easier and more private by letting users swap tokens without having to connect a wallet. A Fresh Move for MemeFi Cutoshi has always mixed fun meme culture with real DeFi tools, which helped it grow a strong community. Now with Cutoshi Swap, it’s raising the bar again — offering a new way to trade across chains without the usual friction of wallet connections. The team behind the project said the platform is built to fix problems regular users face. Their words? “We’ve made something simple, with privacy in mind — multi-chain support, no wallet connect needed.” Why Cutoshi Swap Stands Out No Wallet Connection Needed You don’t need to connect your wallet to start swapping — this gives users more control and keeps things private. Supports Multiple Chains The platform isn’t stuck to just one chain. You can move your assets across different blockchains with ease. Very Few Restrictions They’re sticking to decentralization at its core — there’s no long list of banned tokens. That means more coins are usable here. Built for All Levels Whether you’re new to crypto or a DeFi pro, the interface is clean and easy to use. Part of a Bigger Plan This isn’t just a one-off feature. Cutoshi is building an ecosystem. Cutoshi Swap joins a growing list of tools under its belt, all built around transparency, community input, and pushing crypto forward — while keeping that meme vibe alive. One of the team members put it like this: “We think DeFi works best when users don’t have to jump through hoops. It should be simple, direct, and totally yours.” What is Cutoshi (CUTO)? Cutoshi is a MemeFi token — fun on the outside, serious on the inside. It blends meme culture with real utility, offering features like cross-chain transactions, non-custodial trading, and a reward system for its community. Its presale has already attracted people looking to join something that’s equal parts hype and value. Want to Dive In?

City of Seattle Partners with Comcast to Announce $3 Million in Grants to Local Small Business Owners

Comcast Pacific Northwest

Today, Comcast announced that it will award 100 small businesses in King County with over $3 million in monetary, marketing, and technology grants through the Comcast RISE program. Expanding upon Mayor Bruce Harrell’s recent announcement to help local businesses grow and succeed, Comcast RISE is supporting the growth of small businesses and entrepreneurs committed to uplifting their local communities with comprehensive grant packages that include a technology makeover, creative production, a media schedule, educational resources, a $5,000 monetary grant, and business consultation services. "Seattle wouldn’t be Seattle without our small businesses—they create jobs, build community, and add to the vibrancy of our neighborhoods,” said Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell. “From inflation to public safety concerns, I hear directly from business owners about the challenges they face and their desire to succeed here. That’s why we’re excited to welcome the Comcast Rise grant program back to not just Seattle, but all of King County — which offers more than just financial support, but critical investments in technology, marketing and operations to help businesses stabilize, grow and succeed. Our local economy depends on all of us —public and private sectors — working together and leveraging our resources to build a stronger and more resilient economy.” According to a U.S. Chamber of Commerce report last month, revenue concerns are surging as inflation remains a dominant challenge for small businesses. The concern for inflation reached a new high with 58% of small business owners reporting inflation as a top concern. Further, more than 1 in 3 small business owners are concerned about revenue, the highest share since 2021. “Small business owners are facing significant financial concerns and economic uncertainty, and we want to help,” said Rodrigo Lopez, Region Senior Vice President for Comcast in the Pacific Northwest. “Among the many things we all love about the greater Seattle area is our vibrant small businesses community and we strongly encourage small business owners to apply to Comcast RISE. This program is designed to give you the resources to help your business thrive and contribute to the economic growth and resilience of our community.” From May 1-31, eligible small businesses in King County can apply for the Comcast RISE program at www.ComcastRISE.com. Winners will be notified in August. Starting in April and throughout May, local small businesses can learn more about the Comcast RISE program, eligibility requirements, and how to apply by attending free information sessions being held by Comcast RISE community partner organizations, including the Bellevue Chamber, Greater Seattle Business Association (GSBA ), Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce, and Tabor 100. “When it comes to small businesses, we all know the challenges: we’ve seen the news, the closure notices, the boarded-up storefronts,” said Rachel Smith, president and CEO of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce. “But there is good news on the horizon with another round of Comcast RISE grants and services to support Puget Sound region small businesses. Too many of our small businesses are on the bubble, and Comcast is serious about being part of the solution by offering financial support and technology services that help local businesses get a leg up. These businesses are the social fabric of our neighborhoods, and that’s why the Chamber is thrilled to be partnering with Comcast to help our members connect to this opportunity.” King County is one of five regions selected by Comcast in which 100 local businesses will be awarded the grant package. Other regions where small businesses will be awarded grant packages include Boston (MA), Grand Rapids (MI), Nashville (TN), and South Valley (UT). These recipients join the 14,000 entrepreneurs nationwide who have been selected as Comcast RISE recipients since the program launched in late 2020. Visit the Comcast RISE destination on the X1 platform for news, tips, insights, and more. Xfinity customers can say “Comcast RISE” into the X1 voice remote. Comcast RISE is part of Project UP, the company’s comprehensive initiative to create digital opportunity and help build a future of unlimited possibilities. More information on eligibility requirements and details on how to apply are available at www.ComcastRISE.com Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA) is a global media and technology company.

Mid-Sized Data Centers Are Winning the Communications Battle While Many Industry Leaders Fall Behind

Hot Paper Lantern

Hot Paper Lantern (HPL), an integrated communications and marketing agency that helps brands build their reputations, create meaningful impact, and generate growth, released its latest data center industry study, "Who's Owning the Conversation?" The study analyzed over 35 companies spanning three key verticals: data center operators, cooling technology vendors, and network service providers. Data Center Operators included in the study: Aligned Data Centers • CloudHQ • Cologix • Compass Datacenters • COPT • CoreSite • DataBank • Digital Core REIT • EdgeConneX • Evoque Data Center Solutions • Flexential • OVHcloud • QTS Data Centers • Sabey Data Centers • STACK Infrastructure • Switch Inc. • Tencent Cloud • Vantage Data Centers Cooling Technology Vendors included in the study: Amana Heating & Air • American Standard • Bryant Heating & Cooling • Goodman Manufacturing • Heil Heating & Cooling • Nortek Global • Rheem • Rudd Heating & Cooling • York Air Conditioning • York International Network Service Providers included in the study: Adtran • Allied Telesis • Calix • Cambium Networks • D-Link • Inseego • MikroTik • TP-Link • Viavi Solutions • Zyxel Communications The research examines how these companies are shaping the mid-market narrative, identifies key areas for improvement, and offers data-driven strategies to help companies drive meaningful engagement. While some organizations take a proactive approach to their external communications by leveraging social media and media relations, others remain passive and allow third parties to shape their company’s narrative. This contrast sparks critical questions about how key sectors engage with their stakeholders and whether or not they will fully capitalize on the opportunities presented by the data center industry's unprecedented growth. "Data center operators have assumed that by just being active to generate some form of media coverage alone, this will translate to having a strong reputation. Our research proves that this is not the case. If you are not actively shaping your own story, someone else will do it for you, and often not in your favor," said Ed Moed, chief executive officer at Hot Paper Lantern. "The data center industry has grown exponentially in recent years, fueled by massive investments, technological advancement, and industry demand. Many companies have relied on that growth to define their value in the market, but as competition increases, a strong and strategic narrative is what will set organizations apart." Key Insights from the Study: Public Perception Doesn't Always Align with Coverage Volume – More coverage does not always translate to a stronger reputation. Nearly 10% of all social media conversations about the data center industry are negative. However, over 80% of that negativity comes from just two companies, and both are among the most active on social media. Their outsized presence has amplified criticism, highlighting the risks of lacking a strategic online narrative. Mid-Tier Operators Punch Above Their Weight in Influence — Despite having smaller budgets, some mid-tier data centers generate outsized impact. Based on revenue, the bottom half of companies analyzed averaged 7x more coverage and 15x more engagement, demonstrating the power of strategic messaging. Cooling Technology Vendors Are Missing Their Storytelling Opportunity — With sustainability and energy efficiency becoming critical topics, cooling providers remain surprisingly underrepresented in industry conversations. Ninety percent of cooling brands generate fewer than 500 media mentions across major platforms, creating a massive opportunity for those willing to participate in the discussion. Network Providers Are Failing to Engage the Data Center Audience — Despite playing a crucial role in data center operations, many network providers struggle to connect with their target audience. Most rely on generic product announcements rather than crafting narratives that will resonate with data center decision-makers. As a result, the top 40% of network providers account for 95% of the industry's digital visibility, leaving the majority with little influence in the conversation. "Cooling and network providers have expanded alongside the data center industry, yet their voice in industry discussions has not kept pace," said Moed. "As artificial intelligence accelerates demand for advanced infrastructure, these sectors must step forward. The companies that fail to establish themselves as industry leaders risk being overlooked, while those that actively shape the conversation will define the next phase of innovation and growth." For more details on the "Who's Owning the Conversation?" study, view the report here. HPL will continue tracking industry trends and key players, releasing quarterly reports about the evolving conversation. To stay informed on the latest findings and updates, visit www.hotpaperlantern.com and sign up for future reports.
