Web3 Solidity Engine, tEVM 2.0 - Ahead of Schedule

Telos Foundation

As the Goliaths of crypto continuously crash ( Solana ), fail to deliver ( Ethereum ), or live in their white papers ( Cardano ), David ( Telos ) continues to defy them all and over-deliver. The Telos story is very much a David vs. Goliath story. Why? Because Telos is tens and even hundreds of billions of dollars smaller than its peers in market cap, yet still manages to significantly lead them in speed, costs, true capacity, credible neutrality, front running protection, fair governance, and energy efficiency ( Net Zero ). The tEVM Version 1.0's capabilities are already a quantum leap ahead of its peers and are clearly demonstrated in this video. Now, less than a year later, version 2.0 is set to elevate the tEVM's performance further. Jesse Schulman (Lead Architect and TCO), alongside Kersten Wirth (Program Manager), will be providing detailed insights into the development of Telos EVM 2.0. This hybrid "Super-Node" solution will be even easier to operate and integrate than the previous version, offer top-notch history management, and tie in with the best available Ethereum clients. The dev-duo will also be discussing the many benefits and successes of the existing tEVM Version 1. Since its launch, the tEVM’s ecosystem is closing on six months of strategic growth. On the DeFi side, it has already launched multiple Dex/AMMs, Price Oracles, Farming dApps, multi-Chain bridges, Lending dApps, and everything else that a vibrant DeFi ecosystem requires to level up its TVL and end-user occupancy. Telos’ TVL is now where the market cap leading chains were not long ago but with far superior governance, no front running, credible neutrality, true decentralization, and an ESG compliant EVM that is several multiples faster. In utopian fashion, Telos’ ecosystem is now ready to scale its occupants and its TVL simultaneously. 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 and, more uniquely, offers a path to fee-less transactions via its robust native C++ smart contract support. Even while operating as a Net Zero Blockchain, Telos still sustainably supports 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. As a result, the Telos blockchain has the throughput needed to facilitate and scale the thriving Metaverse / Web 3.0 landscape better than any other blockchain in existence. 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.

Toplyne raises $15 million Series A to monetize product-led growth

Toplyne

Toplyne, a SaaS platform that lets companies to monetize their product-led growth flywheel, today announced a $15 million Series A funding round led by Tiger Global and Sequoia Capital India, with participation from existing investors Together Fund, Sequoia India’s Surge and angel investors from Canva, Vercel & Zoominfo. Toplyne lets Growth Teams at product-led SaaS companies monetize their product-led growth by increasing conversions within their freemium user base. The company was founded in June 2021 by Rishen Kapoor and Ruchin Kulkarni who were earlier with Sequoia India and the former VP of Product at Clevertap, Rohit Khanna. Since the announcement of its $2.5 million seed round in November 2021, the company has on boarded several marquee customers like Canva, Grafana, Gather.Town, and BrowserStack and is all set to launch a self-serve freemium product within the next quarter to onboard a long list of waitlisted customers. The company has more than doubled from 13 to 30 employees across geographies, since the last round of funding. The genesis of Toplyne happened when the founding team members - former investment analysts at Sequoia India - noticed a fundamental shift in how software was being discovered and bought. Product-led growth (PLG) was at the epicenter of the most successful SaaS companies. User virality, referrals and freemium usage had exploded the top-of-funnel. SaaS companies had more users than ever before. While product-led growth had opened the floodgates at the top of the funnel for successful SaaS companies, the battle had moved from acquisition to conversion. Most hyper-growth PLG companies have sub 1-2% conversion rates. Monetization is easier said than done. Experimentation, with various permutations of user segments and GTM strategies, is of the essence. The responsibility of this experimental approach lies with “Growth” teams. Growth teams at these companies experiment with various GTM strategies that cost heavily in terms of pooling in time, talent (cross functional teams) and money. Toplyne lets these teams (their customers) rapidly experiment and deploy various go-to-market (GTM) motions at scale from driving self-serve conversions through in-product nudges (chatbots, paywalls, promos) or sales-assisted conversions through high-velocity inside-sales teams. By assessing complex patterns in large volumes of product-usage data, Toplyne is able to identify users and accounts who have the highest intent to convert to paid subscriptions. Revenue teams using Toplyne are empowered to focus their efforts on users and accounts who show real intent, rather than chasing leads that will never convert. ​​“Millions of people around the world use Canva to achieve their goals – from high school students to small business owners and the Fortune 500. It’s important that we’re able to identify users where our premium subscriptions are the right fit and can add value to the way they’re using our platform. Toplyne helps us effectively target and scale these efforts at our speed of growth.” - said Toplyne customer David Burson, Head of Product Growth at Canva Toplyne is committed to becoming a one-stop-shop for PLG businesses to solve their monetization problems. The plug-and-play product seamlessly integrates into existing CRMs (Salesforce. Hubspot), customer engagement platforms (Braze) and product analytics infrastructures (Amplitude, Segment) within minutes. Ruchin Kulkarni, Co-founder at Toplyne, said, “It's an interesting time to be a monetization software. ARR is back in vogue. PLG SaaS companies need their free users to convert to paid plans. And they need it to happen yesterday. Toplyne fills this gap by enabling businesses to monetize their product-led growth.” “Whether it’s bubbling up the highest intent users for sales calls, in-product nudges, email campaigns or account expansion, Toplyne’s mission is to transform growth teams from frustrated, hand-tied, prisoners of cross-functional collaboration to agents of change with the power to move metrics at will.” said Rishen Kapoor, Co-founder at Toplyne The team will use the funding to aggressively deliver on the product roadmap and help PLG companies across the spectrum - from early to late stage, increase their conversion rates. They are hiring in the US across many roles including sales and product marketing. The team is laser-focused on going fully self-serve by the end of the quarter to onboard a growing waitlist of 1000+ companies. "Monetizing freemium users is an important problem faced by software companies with a PLG motion. We are thrilled to see how the Toplyne team and product has shaped up in the first year of operations. Their unified approach combining in-product nudges and sales assisted conversions is resonating strongly with customers. We believe Toplyne has a shot at being the global leader of this emerging category and the team at Sequoia Capital India is excited to deepen the partnership with them." Ashish Agrawal, MD, Sequoia India “We are strong believers in building fast. Our product’s first version went live on Day 30 of the company’s existence. We were solely focussed on the outcome of driving up conversion rates for our first customer. Within just a few days of going live, we saw their sales conversion rate double. That’s when we knew we were onto something.” said Rohit Khanna, Co-founder at Toplyne and former VP-Product at CleverTap About Toplyne Toplyne is a technology startup that lets growth teams at product-led SaaS companies monetize their product-led growth by increasing conversions within their freemium user base.

CognitiveCare Inc. Receives a Grant of Nearly $1 Million to Advance Maternal and Fetal Health

CognitiveCare

CognitiveCare, a Healthcare AI startup and pioneer in maternal and infant health, today announced it has received a $965,871 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to provide antenatal risk stratification AI support for the ARC’s pregnancy surveillance efforts. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), global maternal mortality is an unacceptably high 810 deaths per day, primarily from preventable or treatable causes. Further, 10–15% of all infants born are preterm and are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality. As part of this grant, CognitiveCare will detect and quantify propensity for critical adverse outcomes during antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum stages, by leveraging CognitiveCare’s Maternal Infant Health Insights & Cognitive intelligence “ MIHIC ” solution. MIHIC incorporates granular insights and patterns that interplay with clinical and social determinants of health to help detect and quantify risks at individual and population levels. CognitiveCare will first validate its models with local data and will then integrate MIHIC into both the Kenya PRiSMA (western Kenya) and the Aga Khan University & VITAL Pakistan ARC sites’ existing production environments. A segment of this grant is dedicated to train the ARC sites to use MIHIC, ensuring sustainable impact. “With the foundation’s grant support, our aim is to support caregivers in understanding propensity for risk early enough to help reduce maternal and infant morbidity and mortality,” said Dr. Suresh Attili, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer, CognitiveCare. “Decisions on patient care rest with physicians; however, risk scores generated by MIHIC support triaging patients early. The models will further provide explainable AI functionality to help caregivers understand the ‘why’ behind each MIHIC Score TM.” “ G iven that 94% of all maternal deaths occur in low- and lower-middle-income countries, CognitiveCare is committed to ensuring that low resource settings have access to MIHIC,” said Sheena Gill, President, Americas for CognitiveCare. “With this grant, we take another important step toward our vision to eradicate maternal and infant mortality globally.” About CognitiveCare: CognitiveCare is working at the forefront of science to build the world's first comprehensive health risk quantification solution that integrates AI, advanced math, and stats at the intersection of medicine, biology, genomics and social determinants. CognitiveCare's MIHIC Score™ platform assesses propensity for risk of maternal, fetal and infant health risks categorized as antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum risk scores early in the pregnancy cycle to empower proactive care.

Quik.com launches minting of NFT Domains: .metaverse, .vr and .chain

Quik.com

The emergence of blockchain technology has given rise to new value exchanges, dApps, Web 3.0, and crypto-assets. And one of the most essential and innovative of them is the NFT domains. The crypto wallets and decentralized apps work with lengthy and cumbersome alphanumeric identifiers. However, we associate these crypto addresses with domain names. It could disrupt the crypto industry like how traditional domain names had revolutionized the internet by replacing IP addresses. Quik.com offers NFT domain extensions or TLDs such as.chain,.metaverse,.vr,.doge,.shib,.bored,.btc,.web3,.address and.ai. Apart from the artwork that comes with each minted NFT domain, the owners shall also be able to use these NFT domains inside the Quik ecosystem once Quik launches its web extension and browser, which are planned for the future. What Are NFT Domains? Blockchain domains offered by platforms such as Quik.com and Unstoppable Domains are essentially domain name systems or DNS embedded on the blockchain instead of the traditional centralized system. It allows the data structure to be distributed over a decentralized network, allowing everyone in the network to read its content. In other words, blockchain technology is the next big thing for the domain name industries with new functionalities and advantages. However, NFT domains cannot be used to host websites inside the traditional DNS but rather have their own set of advantages. These systems are also completely free of central entities like ICANN, making them resistant to censorship. However, it is essential to note that features of NFT domains can differ based on the underlying smart contracts of the issuer that mints the blockchain domain code. Blockchain Domains Over Traditional Domains In the.com era, several businesses found success primarily because of their domain and its primacy in search results. Today, traditional domains are worth more than 20 to 100 billion USD as an asset class. So far, over 300 million domain names are sold, some of them costing hundreds of millions of dollars, insurance.com and internet.com, for example. There are more than 1,500 different domain extensions currently live. However, the innovation in the traditional domain market has become stagnant over the past many decades. And now, with the emergence of NFT domains, we can't help but start imagining them as the biggest digital asset class. In addition, their features like censorship resistance and ease of payment address major drawbacks of the present domain names. It makes NFT domains virtually borderless, permissionless business tools. While traditional domains were primarily for businesses, blockchain domains have applications for businesses and individuals. As the entire centralized DNS infrastructure can easily migrate to a public blockchain at any time in the future, NFT domains may soon become the first choice. Why Quik? NFT domains you purchase or mint on the Quik marketplace offer edge over traditional and other blockchain domain names because: ● There are no renewal fees, offers 100% ownership ● Censorship resistant ● Mint, purchase, or sell NFT domains using Quik's intuitive UI with minimum effort. ● Quik also offers the infrastructure to help businesses move from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 ● Minters also get 5 to 10% of royalties for life on every subsequent sale ● Each domain name comes with a unique NFT artwork attached to it Top TLDs available on Quik include.metaverse,.vr,.chain,.shib,.doge. In addition, it is soon launching new NFT domain names like.btc,.ai,.web3,.address. The current NFT domain names are based on the Ethereum blockchain, but Quik plans to launch NFT domains on other blockchain protocols as well in the future. The NFT domains available on Quik shall work within the Quik ecosystem. Quik plans to launch its web browser and web extension to help empower these NFT domains soon. "NFT domains offer superior functionality over traditional domains, which are one-dimensional and have narrow purposes. We believe blockchain domain names have the potential to drive the idea of a truly decentralized internet," said Sahil Kohli, the CEO of Quik. Ready to mint your first NFT Domain? Visit Quik.com.
