Supra Completes Over $24m in Early Stage Funding to Date

Supra

Supra has raised over $24m in private investment rounds. Supra has received investment from several multi-billion dollar prominent VCs including: Animoca, Coinbase Ventures, HashKey, Prosus Ventures, Razer, United Overseas Bank Venture Management, Valor Equity Partners, among many more. Supra is developing an innovative cross-chain oracle and “bridgeless” communication network that aims to achieve sub-2 second finality with security guarantees that are projected to be over 10x more secure than incumbent bridges using their bespoke consensus algorithm, “Moonshot Consensus.” Supra is helping to facilitate the massive migration of Web2 to Web3 by turbo-charging oracles, cross-chain communication protocols, and their cutting-edge consensus mechanism to build a more secure and interoperable future. There are already over 1.5 million cryptocurrency data pairs being updated daily using Supra’s next-gen oracle technology. Over $24m in private investment funding has been accepted from strategic partnerships that recognize Supra’s game-changing R&D at the cutting edge of the Web3 stack. With several whitepapers spanning 150+ pages in peer-academic review, Supra’s team of PhDs has been making significant contributions to the body of academic work in secure multi-party computation, decentralized consensus, and blockchain oracles. Leading the way is Dr. Aniket Kate, known best for his work on KZG Polynomial Commitments that underpin Ethereum’s L2 scaling roadmap, Supra’s innovations are quickly becoming the new standard for state-of-the-art for oracle protocols. As for funding, Supra has received support from some of the world’s largest digital asset funds and organizations, including: Animoca Brands, BCW, Coinbase Ventures, FiveT Fintech (formerly Avaloq Ventures), Galaxy Interactive, Hashed, HashKey, Huobi Ventures, No Limit Holdings, Prosus Ventures, Razer.com, Republic Crypto, Shima Capital, Signum Capital, SMO Capital, Sound Ventures, Sublime Ventures, UOB Venture Management (United Overseas Bank), and Valor Equity Partners. In order to decentralize ownership and governance of the network, over 500 other funds, node operators, and angel investors have been brought in amongst these prominent names to help strategically distribute the token supply. Increasing distribution of their token is critical to the long-term success of Supra’s decentralized network. Furthermore, Supra has recently announced a major gamified learn-to-earn airdrop opportunity for community members to further distribute $SUPRA to a wide range of stakeholders. Users can check out their Countdown to Blast Off campaign to join other Supra cadets and learn more. Through their gamified learn-to-earn program, Supra is projected to have over 500,000 KYC’d token holders during their Token Generation Event, which is set to occur in early 2024. Moving forward Joshua Tobkin, CEO and Co-Founder of Supra, said he’s excited to bring Supra to market and give DeFi developers and end consumer a provably fair, high-performance oracle service. “We’re very pleased to have achieved the support of some of the biggest names in the blockchain industry,” he stated. “Building our network of strategic partnerships is extremely important to our future growth. These partnerships will go a long way towards developing the momentum necessary to bring a much needed security upgrade to the oracle space to further protect DeFi.” “Too many people have already been negatively impacted by decentralized finance hacks or exploits, and too much money has been lost. We see our cryptography driven solutions as a way to take speed and security guarantees to the next level, which ensures a higher level of protection for end consumers. We need to level the playing-field and we can't do that until we secure oracles and bridges, which have been the weakest link in Web3. This is an absolute necessity in order for blockchain to achieve its full potential.” Animoca Brands Yat Siu, the Co-Founder and Chairman of Animoca Brands, commented: “Oracles are an important link bridging data portability and interoperability across different networks, and we’re therefore thrilled to support Supra as one of the projects developing the essential technological basis for a truly open metaverse.” Republic Alex Ye of Republic Advisory said: "The crypto industry had not committed to solving the oracle problem until Supra played the patient game and did their research on L1 consensus for oracles. While others might have come first to market, they all end up delaying the inevitable that Supra now fulfills. Oracles are both the key to cross-chain infrastructure, whether that comes from on-chain or off-chain data. Supra is the key that unlocks the real potential of cross-chain liquidity, multi-chain web3 applications, and more. I fully expect Supra to be the brand name internet infrastructure among traditional financial institutions and Web3 developers as synonymous as AWS, IBM, and Google in the Web2 world." Hashed A spokesperson for Hashed said: “Oracles are currently the single most utilized vector for exploits, and it’s crucial for the industry as a whole to experiment with different trade-offs to improve this crucial infrastructure. We’re excited to be a part of Supra’s journey as their approach to advancing speed and security with sophisticated randomness will be a great addition to the collective intelligence of Web3. Supra has the potential to open up use cases that were implausible before by redefining liveliness of oracle feeds, and we will be dedicated to exploring new boundaries with the team.” Sound Ventures Maaria Bajwa, blockchain investor at Ashton Kutcher and Guy Oseary’s Sound Ventures, said: “Supra and its incredible team have spent the last few years building a powerful oracle that has the flexibility and usability to scale with this ecosystem as it continues to accelerate in growth. Its node architecture ensures better security than existing oracles, while still processing information at faster speeds. Faster speed is critical to driving Web 3.0 closer to real-time transactions and replacing legacy systems. With a powerful oracle like Supra, DeFi users will now be able to easily offer loans across multiple chains and currencies, thereby expanding the market opportunity in DeFi. And all of this at a cheaper cost for developers and a better environmental footprint.” Prosus Ventures A spokesperson for Prosus Ventures said: “As DeFi use cases expand and scale, new multi-chain oracle solutions will need to come to market. We believe Supra’s technology will be a key component of the Web3.0 DeFi ecosystem, significantly increasing transaction finality to mere seconds, while improving security and enabling cross-chain interoperability. What is also apparent to us is the team’s deep understanding of this space, and we’re confident in their leadership and roadmap to achieve what no other oracle solution has yet been able to accomplish technically.” Huobi Ventures A spokesperson for Huobi said: "Huobi Ventures is thrilled to invest in Supra as they create and build the next-generation oracle infrastructure. We believe their seasoned team of highly experienced professionals will deliver a best in class oracle solution that improves upon the performance and security of existing oracles, and provides a premium product for users. Combining the founding team’s extensive experience with their long-term vision, we look forward to supporting this ambitious organization." FiveT Ventures A spokesperson at FiveT Ventures (formerly Avaloq Ventures) said: "FiveT Fintech, an early-stage investor in web3 and financial services infrastructure working closely with Avaloq’s ecosystem consisting of over 150 financial institutions, is proud to participate in Supra’s strategic financing round. We see a growing need for verified off-chain data and are convinced that Supra’s ability to operate in such a fast, reliable, and highly decentralized way will enable new game-changing applications. Getting to know Supra’s team, we were impressed with their profound knowledge and fast-paced execution skills. For FiveT Fintech, Supra marks an important additional piece to complement our strategic investments in crucial web3 infrastructure and we are excited for close collaboration within our ecosystem." HashKey Harper Li, Investment Manager at Hashkey Capital, said: “Supra is positioned as an IntraLayer with native oracle, native VRF, and native automation. Native oracle is the earliest product, which has been tested on more than 20 testnets. Native VRF combined with DKG technology solves the problem of public output and latency in this field compared with other random number solutions. In the future, the development of native automation will be introduced into the on-chain automatic execution, while the combination of on-chain automatic execution and the abstract account has a lot of imagination space.” Sublime Ventures Musthafa Ahmed, General Partner at Sublime Ventures, said: "What started out as a mission to create a next-gen, decentralized cross-chain oracle solution, has evolved into so much more. Perfectly primed to set the gold standard as Web3's first intralayer solution, Supra is on track to dominate the industry with their superior and unparalleled tech stack, whilst also acting as the backbone unifying all major ecosystems in the sector." About Supra Supra is building a low-latency interoperability infrastructure to provide Web3 capabilities that traditional blockchain designs lack. Supra, as a vertically integrated IntraLayer™, enables a shared security paradigm across a variety of oracle services. This includes securing external data on-chain, cross-chain consensus via their bridgeless HyperNova, automation, VRF, and more. After thousands of hours of R&D and simulations, Supra’s technical breakthroughs are solving the Oracle Dilemma and optimizing network performance across the board in terms of security, throughput, time to finality, composability, and programmability. Supra has taken an academic approach to development, which has been an integral part of the organization’s commitment to advancing Web3 performance and security. This is characterized by a commitment to deep research, transparency, and going through a rigorous peer-review process in every design and product released. Dr. Aniket Kate, inventor of KZG Commitments utilized in Ethereum L2 Data Availability solutions, and the Supra team are diligently composing new whitepapers, so there are still many novel solutions in the pipeline soon to be publicized.

Avingtrans in a strong cash position after "beating city expectations again"

Avingtrans PLC

Avingtrans (LON:AVG) CEO Steve McQuillan and CFO, Stephen King speak to Thomas Warner from Proactive London after the engineering company released its preliminary results for the year to 31 May 2023. McQuillan gives a brief overview of the company's unique way of doing business, which combines engineering with elements of the private equity model. He highlights that Avingtrans specialises in serving highly regulated markets such as nuclear, defence, aerospace, and medical. Their business approach, termed "Pinpoint, Invest, Exit," involves identifying struggling engineering businesses, acquiring them, revamping their operations, and subsequently selling them. King reports a revenue increase of 17.5% for the year ending May 31, 2023, which he suggests "beat city expectations again". The company also held £13 million in cash reserves at the end of the period, enabling it to undertake potential future acquisitions and investments. McQuillan says he was pleased with the resilience of the business during a year blighted by challenging conditions in the market. He also adds that the market is undervaluing the medical side of the business. Looking to the future, he suggests its more likely that Avingtrans will be divesting businesses over the next few years rather than acquiring any major new ones, not least because its still "digesting" two relatively recent acquisitions.

Digitalbox CEO upbeat on outlook for 2024 despite challenging first half

Digitalbox PLC

Digitalbox PLC (AIM:DBOX) CEO James Carter speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the digital media company published its interim results for the six months to 30 June 2023. Carter discusses the challenges faced by the business during the first half of the year, noting that despite forecasting a tough period, the company did finish ahead of its internal budget. Two primary issues were highlighted: the reduced traffic from major platforms like Google and Facebook and the risks of algorithm changes and content strikes. Carter cited an instance where Entertainment Daily was blocked from Google's Discover feed, resulting in a significant drop in traffic. Another challenge was a 95% reduction in page reach on Facebook for a post about a Netflix show. To address these challenges, he says Digitalbox has optimised its website performance and is pivoting towards on-platform video content distribution. The company also acquired assets from Social Chain during the post-period, boosting their social media following. Carter expresses optimism about the global ad market's recovery and hints at potential future acquisitions for Digitalbox. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

After Achieving 100% Cancer Remission Rates In Preclinical Studies, Starpax Magnetodrones Head For Human Trials

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga Starpax Biopharma is preparing to start clinical trials this year with its patented Starpax cancer treatment platform across six unmet needs, including pancreatic, breast, colorectal, head & neck, uterus and prostate cancer. Solid cancers like the ones Starpax will focus on in the upcoming trials account for 89% of all cancer deaths – that’s largely due to the fact that solid tumors are so difficult to treat. But Micheal Gareau, Founder and President of Starpax Biopharma, is on both a public and personal mission to change that after the disease claimed the lives of two brothers and his father and his third brother and sister are presently under treatment for cancer. And he has an impressive team with deep expertise in the space around him to help achieve this goal. The non-exhaustive roster includes such notable names as André Monette, former President at Johnson & Johnson France, Dr. Lisa Matar, former President of Eli Lilly (Canada) and John Helou, former president of Pfizer (Canada), Dr. Jacques Jolivet, holder of the King Georges V Silver Jubilee Medal in Oncology, and Berthe Latreille, who recently retired as COO of JP Morgan Investment Bank in London, all active on the board of directors. Here’s how this never-seen-before cancer treatment platform works. Why Solid Cancers Are Harder To Treat Anticancer drugs are usually injected in the blood network. The drug needs to circulate in 60,000 miles of blood vessels hoping to reach the tumor. Unfortunately studies have demonstrated that just 0.7% of the cancer drug dose actually reaches the tumor while nearly 99% of this toxic agent continues to circulate in the rest of the patient’s body causing unwanted side effects. The second difficulty, after the drug reaches the tumor, is to be able to distribute the drug throughout its entire volume. As the tumor continues to grow, the blood vessels become chaotic, malfunctioning or collapse, creating hypoxic zones (low level of oxygen areas) and making it difficult to diffuse the drug throughout the whole volume of the tumor. Several studies around the world have demonstrated that 90% of the tumor volume receives little or no drug at all creating a major resistance to treatment that systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy have never been able to solve. The Starpax technology has been conceived specifically to solve this resistance problem to treatment. How The Starpax Platform Is Aiming To Overcome Those Challenges Starpax combines the power of four scientific disciplines: microbiology, biochemistry, electromagnetism engineering and AI into a two-part platform – the Magnetodrones and the Polartrak – that work together to deliver cancer drugs directly into tumors, trap them inside the tumors and ensure the spread into every part of them. Starpax Magnetodrones are self-propelled bacteria that are injected directly into a tumor. The non-pathogenic bacteria can swim between tumor cells without the need of blood vessels and are capable of carrying a variety of different cancer drugs. They die about 30 minutes to an hour after injection. In order to ensure they are distributed in the entire volume of the tumor rather than just sitting near the injection site, Starpax uses magneto-aerotactic bacteria. That means they’re sensitive to very specific magnetic fields, and they naturally accumulate in low-oxygen environments. Their sensitivity to magnetic fields comes into play with the PolarTrak, a device inside which the patient is positioned, that creates unique magnetic fields. Instead of leaving the Magnetodrones free-floating throughout the patient’s body, the Polartrak creates a magnetic sphere around the tumor that contains the Magnetodrones and forces them to distribute throughout the tumor’s whole volume without circulating in blood vessels. The combined result of the PolarTrak and Magnetodrones is a platform that can deliver powerful cancer-fighting drugs directly into a tumor and ensure that they are spread throughout its entire volume. Results of preclinical trials, report 100% of the dose reached the tumor delivering 50 times more drug in the tumor with 800 less toxic molecules in the patient’s body, a major improvement over current systemic chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Subjects also reported a 100% remission rate with no significant side effects. Building on those groundbreaking preclinical results, Starpax is preparing to start clinical trials this year to test the patented cancer treatment platform in humans. During those trials, a cancer drug that has already been approved by the FDA and has been in use by humans for over 20 years will be attached to the surface of Magnetodrones. The company is planning to seek fast-track designation from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to help get this new technology to the patients who need it as soon as possible.

The Sweet Spot: How To Trade The Profit Zone

TechniTrader

In any given market condition, there is a profit zone where most of the highly lucrative trades occur. It is that sweet spot where a stock price is poised to move but has not moved yet. Most retail traders miss the profit zone and instead chase momentum runs that are already underway and often end up buying just as professional traders and HFTs are selling. The end result is a loss for the retail trader. The sweet spot is the final price point at which the Dark Pool Buy-Side Giants cease their hidden accumulation, which Professional Traders identify and start their pre-run setups to trigger High Frequency Trading Firms, aka HFTs. All of this activity goes on within a narrow sideways price range. Here’s how this works: The Buy-Side Institutions, referred to as the Dark Pools here, buy stocks at bargain prices or when the company behind the stock is in a growth mode that is not yet part of the public news. Buy-Side Institutions visit companies regularly since they are the largest investors for these firms. The CEO and CFO provide plenty of information upon request. These visits occur before the end of a quarter and well ahead of the earnings report release date. From this information, the Dark Pools either start accumulating more shares based on projected growth or start rotation to lower inventories of that stock to invest in a company poised for better earnings over time. Their buying is always based on Quantitative Analysis of the fundamental data. Then, their Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) orders trigger automatically within a very narrow price range over an extended period of time, usually a few months. This makes their activity invisible to those who use Level 2 screens and retail traders looking for huge Volume-Weighted Average Price ranges or “whale” orders. It is a means by which the Dark Pools can acquire millions of shares of stock without disturbing a stock’s volume or price trend, without creating momentum runs, and without front-running from the HFTs. This controlled accumulation on Dark Pool venues creates a huge liquidity draw over time with tight price controls. Once the Dark Pools have acquired all the stock they want at that time, the Pro Traders see the shift via special indicators called Large-Lot versus Small-Lot indicators that are part of the new Hybrid Leading Indicators developed for the current market structure. Professional Traders are Floor Traders, Independent Traders and Companies that provide professional trading for financial services companies. Pros want to nudge the HFTs into running or gapping the stock. When the Pro Traders set up deliberately to trigger the programs of the HFTs, they do not disturb price much either. Their goal is a penny spread and a tight low-risk entry. If the professionals are swinging a large lot of 1 to 5 million, they will divide it into lots that are not going to create a huge spike in volume on a single day. HFTs have 4 primary strategies they use for their automated triggering system. One of those is technical analysis. HFT technical programs generally are searching for high volume with minimal price movement. The algorithms are based on the belief that huge orders can be found where there are huge volume surges. The HFTs identify the pro trader setups and then automatically initiate a flood of orders ahead of the market open. These are the first orders of the day as HFTs are acting as Maker/Takers for the exchanges. The HFTs use small orders that fill the queues, forcing the computers of the market to gap the stock price up before the open to where sell orders are already set by professional traders and HFTs. The Market Opens. The retail groups see the huge gap and run up in the first minute and buy to chase after that run. Meanwhile, as retail orders are filled, professionals and HFTs are providing the sell side of those orders. Based on SEC Midas computer data, most retail traders lose money trading stocks. This study has been ongoing for many years. The reason why retail is not making the profits they could enjoy is the fact that they do not know how to identify the Sweet Spot, the Profit Zone where Professional Traders set up to trigger HFTs. It is all there in your charts. You need more than just reversal or continuation candlestick patterns and an indicator crossover signal. You need to learn more about how the professionals trade stocks. Often pro trader setups are 1-4 days ahead of the big gap or run by HFTs. The Chart below shows an example of these patterns using Relational Technical Analysis. The combination of certain candlestick patterns with Hybrid Leading Indicators identify Dark Pool Accumulation without huge volume surges, and the professional traders set up before the HFT gap up.

This Company Is Using AI To Establish Trust In A Digitally Connected World

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga In today's increasingly digital world, the prevalence of fraud is a growing concern. The rapid advancement of technology and the widespread use of the internet have created new opportunities for unscrupulous individuals to exploit unsuspecting individuals and organizations. With the convenience and anonymity offered by the digital space, scammers can carry out illegal activities from anywhere in the world with greater ease than ever before. From online identity theft to phishing scams, digital fraud has become more sophisticated, making it harder for people to detect and protect themselves. The sheer volume of personal and financial information being shared online also increases the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access. Trust Stamp (NASDAQ: IDAI) is a company looking to revolutionize digital security and increase its penetration. The company is a global provider of AI-powered, privacy-first trust and identity services used across multiple sectors – such as banking and finance, real estate, communications, regulatory compliance and government. Trust Stamp offers a range of innovative services. Their biometric capture and analysis technology enables secure and convenient identity verification, allowing businesses to streamline onboarding processes. By integrating advanced document verification, Trust Stamp helps verify the authenticity of important documents, reducing the risk of fraud. In the face of increasing threats, Trust Stamp also provides cryptocurrency security and compliance solutions. Their expertise in this area assists businesses in safeguarding their digital assets, ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks and protecting against unauthorized access or misuse. By facilitating accurate and reliable identity verification, Trust Stamp helps build trust between parties engaging in digital transactions, fostering secure interactions in a digital world. Unlike other companies that may enable AI to make complex decisions regarding users' authentication and identification, Trust Stamp has constructed a process that uses ML and various metric and statistical methods to audit the AI system. Their AI is used to extract information needed for identity verification but does not make the final decision, which helps to ensure that all decisions made using their systems are transparent and auditable. While Trust Stamp’s mission is similar to companies like Mitek (NASDAQ: MITK) and Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN), Trust Stamp has developed a proprietary process for tokenizing identity using an irreversible transformation via a convolutional neural network, creating an identity token known as IT2. The IT2 is generated by these AI processes, and data is removed and destroyed, making the token safe to store and reuse in the future. This process allows Trust Stamp to offer two unique value propositions to its customers: reauthentication and deduplication. Reauthentication enables users to reauthenticate using biometrics with ease, and deduplication allows for deduplication at scale to prevent synthetic identity fraud. Additionally, Trust Stamp is utilizing AI to improve the capture process and enhance users' experience. Its work focuses on using AI and language models to dynamically instruct users on how to take a quality picture, guiding them on the necessary changes to phone position, lighting and head position, among other parameters. This technology not only makes facial matching accessible to those with special needs but also vastly reduces bias in outcomes from AI-powered decision processes. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, Trust Stamp's emphasis on privacy and data protection is aimed at ensuring that users’ personal information is safeguarded at all times. By providing secure and trusted identity services, Trust Stamp positions itself as a crucial ally in the ongoing battle against fraud and identity-related issues, supporting a safer and more secure digital environment for all stakeholders.
