FreeBoilerGrantsUK, a platform that helps UK residents apply for the new free boiler scheme, today announced that they have launched new applications with the goal of helping thousands of low-income households upgrade their heating systems with free funding. “We’re happy to confirm that we are finally launching new applications, to help more homeowners apply for a new free boiler upgrade that will improve their lifestyle quality and help the planet at the same time”. > Apply now with FreeBoilerGrantsUK In accordance with the goals of the ECO4 Scheme, FreeBoilerGrantsUK is helping eligible homeowners apply for the New Boiler Grant 2024 for free. Thanks to their platform, applicants can find out if they meet the eligibility criteria and schedule a free survey and installation date by filling out a simple form. It’s also worth checking out this article on Businessmanchester.co.uk for more information on what the requirements are to qualify for the Eco4 funding. “We are working hard to make it simple for low-income households to take advantage of this government initiative. We have identified that thousands of eligible applicants were not able to apply for the free boiler scheme because they did not know how to do it. Thanks to our brand-new platform, and our intense online promotion campaign, we are spreading awareness about this new grant, and helping eligible homeowners apply for it easily and fast”. The team at FreeBoilerGrantsUK is committed to helping as many low-income households as possible to apply for this government initiative, in order to help them upgrade their heating system and reduce the carbon footprint of the UK. “We believe in the power and impact that this new free boiler scheme will bring to the UK and the world. It is going to help low-income households save money on their utility bills, because the available upgrades - Air Source Heat Pump and Ground Source Heat Pump - can reduce running costs by up to 70%. FreeBoilerGrantsUK has created a team of online marketing, web development and UX design specialists to accomplish the goals of the company: spreading awareness about the new free boiler scheme and on-boarding eligible prospects easily regardless of their digital skills. “According to the Office for National Statistics, approximately 7 million people have limited digital skills in the UK. We have identified this as a potential problem that might prevent an important percentage of eligible homeowners from applying for the new boiler grant from the ECO4 scheme. In order to solve this issue, we have hired UX design specialists to help us to create a simple, fast and easy on-boarding process, to help more people upgrade their heating systems with free funding We have engineered our problem, on both desktop and mobile, to allow interested homeowners to fill out the application form in less than 5 minutes”. The ECO4 Scheme has a funding pool of £4 billion, and the new free boiler scheme is receiving an important allocation from it. Because it can fund from £7,000 to £20,000 in heating and boiler upgrades, FreeBoilerGrantsUK agrees that this government initiative should receive as much exposure as possible. FreeBoilerGrantsUK is committed to educating eligible applicants about the free boiler scheme. By releasing educational content on its platform, blog and social media channels, FreeBoilerGrantsUK carefully explains the eligibility criteria, reach and benefits of the initiative. “Opening new applications is only one of the several actions we are taking towards accomplishing our goals, in accordance with the ECO4 Scheme. Because we want everyone to know about the beneficial impact of this program, and how much they can accomplish thanks to it. We are also committed to explaining the benefits of the two available upgrades: Air Source Heat Pump and Ground Source Heat Pump. Because knowledge is power, and FreeBoilerGrantsUK is here to share all the information homeowners need to know, to make the best decisions”. The platform confirms that they will keep new applications open for as long as the ECO4 Scheme and boiler upgrade program are active. Because the website is available 24/7/365, interested applicants can visit the platform and fill out the application form now to discover if they are eligible, and schedule a free property assessment survey. “We will be online for as long as we are useful and we can help more homeowners take advantage of the free boiler scheme. We do not charge visitors or applications a single fee, because the entire process is 100% free, including the property survey and installation date”. Interested UK residents who wish to find out if they are eligible to claim on free funding to upgrade their heating system and boiler, only have to visit FreeBoilerGrantsUK.com, fill out the application form and wait for approval to schedule a property survey and installation date.

Standard Chartered: Ethereum (ETH) Could Hit $4,000 By May – All Eyes on Dogecoin (DOGE) and KangaMoon (KANG)

Kangamoon

Following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, all attention turned to Ethereum (ETH). With the first spot ETFs for ETH expected by May 2024, Standard Chartered has predicted that the altcoin price could surge above $4,000. In other developments, Dogecoin (DOGE) has captured attention, with its network hitting a new milestone. Meanwhile, KangaMoon ( KANG ) is fast becoming the preferred meme coin in the crypto community thanks to its community-driven approach. Read on to find out more. Ethereum (ETH) To Hit $4,000 in May – Standard Chartered As the leading altcoin, a spot ETF for Ethereum (ETH) was expected to follow after Bitcoin got it. However, not many expected it to come just months after Bitcoin's ETF approval. Standard Chartered predicts that the US SEC will approve ETH ETFs in May. This expected clearance might significantly increase Ethereum's market value. According to reports, the bank projected a potential increase to $4,000 by May 23. With the Ethereum price hovering around $2,800, this rally could make it one of the top crypto coins to buy. Another factor that could influence the altcoin price is the recent Dencun upgrade. Dencun has gone live on two Ethereum testnets already. With the promise of reducing the cost of transactions for ETH L2 blockchains and making data availability cheaper, Dencun on the mainnet could spark a rally. Dogecoin (DOGE) Network Hits New Milestone, Analyst Expects Price Hike While its price performance hasn't met the expectations of investors, Dogecoin (DOGE) has been growing behind the scenes. The number of new addresses on the Dogecoin network reached a new high on January 29. According to data from IntoTheBlock shared by Ali Charts, users created 247,240 new Dogecoin addresses. This breaks the previous record of approximately 160,000 addresses set in 2014, shortly after the meme coin was launched. The network growth and recent price upswing have piqued the interest of crypto trader and analyst Crypto Patel. According to Patel, DOGE has formed a historic pattern last witnessed in 2021. Crypto Patel stated that if Dogecoin can replicate this incredibly bullish pattern, it may finally break above $1 for the first time. KangaMoon (KANG) Captures the Interest of the Crypto Community Amidst the growing positive sentiments of Dogecoin and Ethereum, KangaMoon (KANG) has become one of the most talked-about memecoins. KangaMoon has gained massive attention for attempting to do things differently in the meme coin space. The project represents the next generation of memecoins with its focus on utility as well as meme culture. KangaMoon is a social-fi project that aims to bring together the meme community under one umbrella. Not only will the project unite meme coin enthusiasts, but it will also create an opportunity for them to earn, adding more excitement to KangaMoon. KangaMoon will reward users based on their participation and activity within the ecosystem. The more you participate, the greater your earnings. Crypto experts have predicted that KangaMoon could become the next big meme coin, making it one of the top crypto coins to buy now. Many believe that KANG has the potential for a 100x surge in the 2024 bull market. With the altcoin price at just $0.005 per coin, now is the best time to join KangaMoon.

TRON DAO Unveils Bitcoin Layer 2 Solution Roadmap

TRON DAO

Geneva, Switzerland, February 17, 2024 - TRON DAO, the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) behind the TRON network—a powerhouse in the blockchain world with over 210 million user accounts and more than 7 billion transactions—unveils its roadmap for building an innovative Bitcoin Layer 2 solution. This solution will revolutionize how we think about blockchain interoperability and using stablecoins within the Bitcoin ecosystem. The TRON network is a leading blockchain in the world of stablecoins and decentralized finance (DeFi), commanding an impressive stablecoin market cap of $55 billion and a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $22 billion. This integration will link the TRON network directly with Bitcoin, allowing access to over $55 billion in value to the network, thereby injecting more financial accessibility into Bitcoin and its Layer 2s, like Ordinals. The TRON DAO will venture further into Ordinals and other Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions. Plans are in place to introduce a user-friendly wallet and an array of tools designed to support BRC-20 tokens. Strategic Roadmap Unfolds Stage 1 - α: Expanding Bitcoin Interoperability with Cross-Chain Technology TRON has already facilitated Bitcoin's accessibility through cross-chain connections via exchanges, enabling the seamless transfer of value. This stage will introduce TRON ecosystem tokens, including USDT-Trc20, TRX, BTT, JST, SUN, NFT, WIN, and USDC-Trc20, into the Bitcoin network through breakthrough cross-chain technology, fostering an environment for more advanced interoperability. Stage 2 - β: Growing Collaborations Between TRON and Bitcoin Layer 2 Ecosystems TRON will start forming alliances with multiple Bitcoin Layer 2 protocols, unveiling substantial partnerships that will encourage TRON users to partake in re-staking initiatives and contribute to the prosperity of the Bitcoin Layer 2 ecosystem. Stage 3 - γ: Unveiling a Unified Layer 2 Solution for Blockchain Efficiency The conclusion of this roadmap will feature the public launch of a Layer 2 solution that synergizes TRON, BTTC, and the Bitcoin network. The high-level goal of this solution is to incorporate the low fees of Proof of Stake (PoS) systems with the security of Proof of Work (PoW) and Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) systems, aligning with Bitcoin Layer 2 to usher in a new era of blockchain efficiency. Wrapping It All Up The launch of TRON's Bitcoin Layer 2 solution, combined with its venture into other Bitcoin Layer 2 protocols and the development of new user-centric tools, marks the beginning of a unified blockchain future. TRON DAO's initiatives aim to enhance blockchain technologies' usability, scalability, and interoperability, paving the way for a more integrated and efficient digital asset ecosystem. Join TRON on this transformative journey as they make Bitcoin fun again! About TRON DAO TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps. Founded in September 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, the TRON network has continued to deliver impressive achievements since MainNet launch in May 2018. July 2018 also marked the ecosystem integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services boasting over 100 million monthly active users. The TRON network has gained incredible traction in recent years. As of January 2023, it has over 205.11 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 6.96 billion total transactions, and over $20.43 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN. In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin across the globe, overtaking USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed DAO. Most recently in October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, which marks the first time a major public blockchain partnered with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. On top of the government’s endorsement to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to help promote Dominica’s global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens - TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have been granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.

Franklin Templeton Eyes Ethereum ETF Spot; KangaMoon and Render Poised As Top Altcoins To Skyrocket

Kangamoon

Franklin Templeton is making a big move in the digital currency market. The company is trying to secure an Ethereum (ETH) ETF spot. Crypto enthusiasts are going wild over this news. But two altcoins, KangaMoon (KANG) and Render (RNDR), are stealing the spotlight. While RNDR is a prominent token, KANG is a Stage 1 presale star that may pump by 100x in 2024. Ethereum (ETH): Franklin Templeton ETF Application Recently, there was some exciting Ethereum news. Notably, James Seyffart announced that Franklin Templeton has joined the spot Ethereum ETF race. According to this application, if everything goes according to plan, the ETF shares will be listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange after approval. This news may trigger a rally for this altcoin. Regarding its value movement, ETH has pumped from $2,328 to $2,665 in the past week alone. Its market cap also grew from $279B to $320B in that period. Additionally, 25 technical indicators are showing green for Ethereum. Due to all these reasons, experts predict a surge to $3,530 for Ethereum within Q2 of 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): The Gaming Meme Coin with Substance With Ethereum getting all the attention, KangaMoon (KANG) has come out of nowhere to shake up the cryptocurrency game. The team behind it has decided to do things differently and ensured that this meme coin will put others in their place. Beyond its viral value, KangaMoon brings games into the fold by turning KANG into a main in-game currency. Essentially, KangaMoon will combine Play-to-Earn (P2E) and Social-Fi elements into one game. With KANG, users can purchase in-game items, upgrade their characters, and more. Additionally, KANG token holders will gain access to weekly, monthly, and quarterly challenges. By winning these events, you will receive extra tokens and in-game items. Currently, KANG is in Stage 1 of its presale, which has raised close to $150,000 so far. One KANG token is worth just $0.005. However, as this presale advances, this price will increase as well. Given its ties to the NFT P2E game market, which may surge to $885.6M by 2028 (as per Yahoo Finance), its long-term growth potential is excellent. Due to all these reasons, experts forecast this altcoin will experience a growth of 1,000% once a Tier-1 CEX lists it in Q2 of 2024. Market Analyst Wick Makes a Render Price Prediction Meanwhile, Render (RNDR) has also made headlines. According to market analyst Wick, Render's future is looking great. In his new tweet, Wick states that the Render token needs just one weekly candle to close above $4.63 for its price to skyrocket. The Render price has moved from $4.39 to $5.10 in the past seven days. During that period, its market cap also pumped from $1.65B to $ 1.91 B. As this altcoin now trades above its 50- and 100-day EMAs, this bullish trend may continue. Therefore, market analysts forecast growth to $6.59 for Render within Q2 of 2024. Ethereum vs. KangaMoon vs. Render - Which One Soar First? When looking at all these altcoins, Ethereum and Render may seem to be the winners. However, KangaMoon surprisingly only needs $5M for its current price (and returns) to double. This puts them in a prime position to provide bigger and faster returns with fewer new funds. Thus, KANG may be the best altcoin to keep an eye on. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the Kangamoon (KANG) Presale Today!

Kadena SpireKey Integrates with WebAuthn to Provide Seamless Web3 Interactions

Kadena

Introducing Kadena SpireKey, a human-friendly and secure way to seamlessly interact with any application by removing complex signing processes. Kadena Spirekey “Unlike complex Web3 wallets today where you have to remember every wallet you’ve ever created, Kadena’s SpireKey uses WebAuthn, a technology that has been developed by Google and Apple over the last 20 years, to help anyone securely digital assets directly on your phone or computer. It’s as easy as receiving a prompt on your mobile device and providing a fingerprint as a signature. Even that uncle who asks you about crypto every family holiday dinner can do it. With Kadena, we've made using applications accessible to everyone, no matter if you’re an experienced "degen" or using blockchain for the first time,” said Kadena CMO, Mike Herron. SpireKey creates a seamless interaction between humans and technology, providing a Web2 experience with Web3 innovation. With SpireKey, users can sign transactions and Web3 applications, just like how it works on Apple Pay or Google Pay. However, it can be done directly on the user's device without opening multiple windows or copying and pasting keypairs, which eliminates potential vulnerabilities seen in traditional wallets. Added Security with Built-in Multi-sig “Kadena's built-in multi-sig signing enables an additional layer of security for SpireKey that only we can provide through our original language, Pact. With multi-sig, SpireKey allows for multiple signatures to be required for certain transaction types. For example, if you want to send over $10,000, you can set up parameters to require signatures from three different devices – your phone, laptop, and cold storage wallet. The multi-sig feature reduces the risk of compromised accounts because a bad actor would need access to three devices. It mitigates the risk of another attack vector, and adds to the overall security,” said Stuart Popejoy, Kadena Co-Founder and CEO. SpireKey displays how Kadena thinks about the level of usability that Web3 technology should be at. At its core, SpireKey connects humans to interact with the blockchain, and with one another. SpireKey believes that showing working examples will inspire all humans alike to see how Spirekey can impact the rest of the world beyond Web3. About Kadena Kadena is a blockchain technology protocol that was founded in 2017 by Stuart Popejoy and Will Martino. Kadena is the industry’s only scalable Layer-1 Proof of Work (PoW) blockchain. This scalability enables Kadena to deliver infrastructure-grade performance for any blockchain project. Along with Kadena own smart contract language Pact, Kadena’s platform provides the world with the tools and environment to turn ideas and ambitions into reality. Founded by Stuart Popejoy and William Martino, who created JP Morgan’s first blockchain and led the SEC’s Crypto Committee, Kadena aims to allow for true blockchain mass adoption.

Rootz LTD Successfully Defends Trademarks and Domains Against Blackhat Affiliate Attacks

impulsQ

Ensuring good corporate governance involves maintaining accessible records, such as trademark registration dates and proof of domain name purchases associated with the trademark. A case is Rootz LTD, the parent platform of numerous online casinos. Rootz recently demonstrated securing the various versions of its brand domain name, including the acquisition of related domains such as Wildzcasino.com. This strategic move aimed to direct customers searching for Wildz.com under the term "casino" to the correct address, safeguarding the company's brand and avoiding confusion. A domain name holds significant importance for any business as it represents the unique name associated with a physical IP address online. Whether it's found after the "@" in email addresses or after "www" in web addresses, it plays a vital role. Acquiring a domain name involves visiting a domain host or registrar, searching for an available name, and paying a small annual fee to become the rightful owner. Rootz LTD's Battle Against Blackhat Marketing Tactics Keeping accessible records, such as trademark registration dates and proof of domain name purchases, is a key aspect of good corporate governance. A prime example of this is Rootz LTD, a parent platform to several online casinos. Rootz took proactive measures to secure different versions of its brand domain name, including acquiring related domains like Wildzcasino.com. This strategic move aimed to direct customers searching for Wildz.com under the term "casino" to the correct address, safeguarding the brand and minimizing confusion. However, amidst efforts to protect domain names, companies face threats from unscrupulous competitors who employ deceptive marketing practices known as "Blackhat Marketing." In December 2020, Rootz brands became targets for blackhat affiliate marketing companies due to significant search volumes in Germany. These malicious actors launched Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and attempted to advertise a competitor using nearly identical names. Fortunately, Rootz diligently monitored site traffic and managed the attacks, ensuring minimal impact on their brand and customers. Adjudication Panel Validates Rootz's Domain Name Ownership Right To address disputes related to domain name ownership, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) provides the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP Policy). This legal framework assists in resolving conflicts between domain name registrants and third parties over the abusive registration and usage of a domain name. Recently, Rootz faced a dispute over confusingly similar names and ownership rights, resulting in the adjudication panel ruling in their favor and confirming their right to ownership of the disputed domain name. Protecting a brand and maintaining a positive reputation is vital for avoiding such attacks and ensuring customer loyalty. By maintaining thorough records and ownership proof, companies can mitigate the impact of these attacks and save valuable time that would otherwise be spent in lengthy legal battles. The assurance of ownership allows companies to emerge victorious and maintain a positive reputation in the market. About Rootz LTD Founded by a team of seasoned iGaming professionals, Rootz prioritizes innovative and efficient programming, visually stunning graphics, and immersive content, resulting in a gaming platform that provides an unrivaled online gaming experience. Rootz is an iGaming company based in Malta, catering to Scandinavian, German, Canadian, and various other European and international markets. Established in 2018 by a team of gaming experts, Rootz has emerged as the parent platform for five superior online casinos: Wildz, Wheelz, Spinz, Caxino, and Chipz. These platforms offer entertainment across multiple global markets. The company distinguishes itself with a philosophy centered on quality rather than quantity. While other iGaming companies resort to an abundance of personnel to overcome obstacles, Rootz embraces automation to eliminate redundant processes. By prioritizing efficiency and staying focused on its mission, Rootz approaches iGaming with skilled professionals, cutting-edge systems and programming, and a keen eye for future trends and challenges.

Gates Ventures, Mayo Clinic Back Tiny Robot Created By $400M Apple Face ID Inventors To Treat Brain Disease

OurCrowd

By Matthew Kalman PrimeSense, the previous company founded by Michael Shpigelmacher, Aviad Maizels and Alex Shpunt, was acquired in 2013 by Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) for around $400 million. It was a world leader in 3D sensors that helped power the Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Kinect for Xbox 360 and provided the technology behind Apple’s Face ID. Bionaut Labs, the medical startup founded by the trio, is on a very different journey – into the deepest recesses of the human brain. But the company is already making waves. This month, Bill Gates’ Gates Ventures joined its early funders, extending investment to $70 million from a blue-chip roster including the Mayo Clinic, Khosla Ventures, Upfront Ventures and OurCrowd, Fortune magazine reported. The company’s Bionaut, a tiny micro-robot smaller than a grain of rice, is guided through a patient’s central nervous system into a targeted spot in the brain where it can perform minor surgery, deliver therapeutic drugs or return with tissue for a biopsy. Not since Raquel Welch was shrunk and inserted into a patient’s bloodstream in the 1966 movie “Fantastic Voyage” have doctors come so close to targeting life-saving medication so precisely to reach the inaccessible recesses of the human body. The company is testing its technology at a Mayo Clinic facility and is poised to begin clinical trials with five top-tier U.S. medical centers as it applies for FDA approval. Investors can still join the Bionaut Labs funding round via the OurCrowd investment platform. Shpigelmacher, CEO of Bionaut Labs, says he realized that treatments for disease occurring at a specific point in the body – especially the brain – were not being accurately targeted. He likens the effect of existing treatments to “carpet bombing a patient’s body with drugs,” creating “widespread undesired side effects or damage to surrounding tissue and organs.” “There we were, flooding the whole body. It was like having one dirty dish in the sink and bringing out a fire hose that floods the whole house just to wash that single dish,” he says. The Bionaut, guided by a physician using a powerful magnet, can release a payload of targeted therapy directly into a tumor or any other localized target – even deep inside the brain – and head for home. “Surgeries to get to the brain tend to be relatively aggressive and fairly in depth and carry a lot of risks associated with them and a lot of recovery time,” says Dr Bill Loudon, VP of Neuroscience at Bionaut Labs. The blood-brain barrier creates “very significant problems to try to get drugs to where we want it to go. On the surgical side it’s hard to get into the brain and on the drug side it’s hard to get into the tissues.” “The Bionaut has specific advantages that circumvent these problems. It truly represents a whole new level,” Dr Loudon says. The company has developed several micro-robot prototypes, each designed for a different purpose. There is a capsule-shaped Bionaut designed to move through fluid, a corkscrew-shaped Bionaut designed to burrow through tissue and a sharp-pointed Bionaut that can perform microsurgery by slicing through the kind of cyst in the brain that causes hydrocephalus, or Dandy-Walker Syndrome. A Bionaut can carry a therapeutic payload and deliver it directly to the targeted area, which avoids flooding the entire central nervous system. Instead of drilling through several centimeters of brain tissue, the Bionaut can be guided through internal fluids to within millimeters of its target. “We minimize tissue penetration, doing it only for the safest and shortest distance possible. It opens a completely new way of treating brain diseases,” Shpigelmacher says. Each tiny Bionaut contains a powerful magnet that allows it to be remotely controlled from outside the body. The patient has an MRI or CT scan, which the physician uses to plan the safest route to the affected area and then loads the route onto a computer. The patient is sedated and the Bionaut is injected into the central nervous system at the entry point worked out in advance. Then, the computer takes over, guiding the probe to its destination while causing the least possible damage to surrounding tissue as the physician monitors its progress via X-ray. $130 Billion Market “The market for brain and CNS therapeutics is massive – over $130 billion today and estimated to grow to over $200 billion. Most of it is drugs,” Shpigelmacher says. Pharma giants are targeting a wide range of neuro-degenerative conditions including Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, glioblastoma and many more, but they all face the challenge of getting the drugs to the point where they are needed inside the brain. “The problem is, even if you have the best drug how are you going to get it to the target?” Shpigelmacher says. “This is where Bionaut steps in. Bionaut does not aim to replace these drugs or replace these payloads. It aims to provide a way for the drug manufacturer to get their payload to the target. So even if we just focus on neuro-degeneration, brain cancer and epilepsy – that alone is over a $70 billion market today.” “We’re already in discussions with the FDA to take this to the clinic next year. The idea is that by the end of 2024 we will have early human data for the device, and in 2025 we will license it out for broader neurological indications,” Shpigelmacher says. The company hopes to emulate the success of other companies specializing in robotic surgery and the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), a leader in surgical robotics, is worth more than $100 billion. Halozyme (NASDAQ: HALO), which partners with major pharma companies to reformulate drugs for precision use, earns millions of dollars each year and is valued at almost $5 billion. “When we started this research, many of the physicians we spoke to, specialists in cardiology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology and more, simply asked, ‘When can we sign up?’” Shpigelmacher says.
