BUTTERFLY PROTOCOL WILL BE USED FOR THE DECENTRALIZATION OF THE DATA STORAGE

T

he data storage options available today are quite

restricted. Centralized servers are insecure and

enable decentralization, they are costly to store data and never allow data to be deleted. The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is presently the greatest decentralized data storage solution. However, its implementation makes data retrieval challenging. A name system for the internet that is not centralized. Butterfly Protocol has announced a decentralized storage solution that builds on blockchain technology and IPFS to enable developers to design and run sophisticated decentralized apps at a low cost. Butterfly's approach adds a layer to IPFS to ease data storage while retaining accessibility and verifiability, whereas other blockchains need significant costs to develop Dapps.

lockchain Simplified is a top blockchain development company in Pune, India offering blockchain, web, and mobile application development services. We are a one-stop-shop for all technology development needs. The clientele includes multiple start-ups, SMBs, and MNCs where few of those are NASDAQ and NSE-listed.

When it comes to Blockchain, we have experience on Bitcoin, Ethereum, EOS, Hyperledger Fabric, Polygon, BSC, and many more; Mobile App Development like React Native, Flutter, Android Native, and iOS Native; UI/UX design that includes strategy, planning, UI/UX Design, wireframing, visual designs; Web App Development such as Node.JS, Angular, React.JS, PHP, as well as backend development involving MongoDB, MySQL, AWS, and Firebase.

An Exceptional Journey Since the Inception The inception of the company has a story related to one of the major challenges faced by startup and SMB owners which the Co-Founders also faced first-hand.

After working in various software services companies, the entrepreneur side of the leadership team was storming on various ideas. That is when the team came together and developed a prototype. After the MVP was

www.analyticsinsight.net

in place, the team was looking for software companies that would help in the development further. The company reached out to various companies - but the high quotes and no assurance on deliverables made them turn to freelancers. However, lack of collaboration, poor quality, and no ownership resulted in a bad experience yet again. Walking on both paths, the team felt a need to form a company that offers dependable software development services at competent rates to start-ups and SMBs. Since then, we have worked with various start-ups in different industries.

Leaders with Professional Experiences Being an Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-B) alumnus, Arpit Agrawal is Co-Founder and Director of Blockchain Simplified with more than 13 years of experience in core systems as well as applications software development.

Founders of these startups are serial entrepreneurs who have built and exited from multimillion-dollar companies in the past and are looking forward to building their unicorn based on their innovative idea with Blockchain Simplified taking care of the development.

Employee Loyalty: Essential to Experience Success One of the biggest challenges any company in this space faces is talent. Good talent is hard to find and harder to retain. The Co-Founder considers that the employees are the biggest strength and ensure all the necessary steps are taken so that they feel happy and look forward to working for the long term. A few of the engineers in the team have been with Blockchain Simplified since its inception.

Customer Satisfaction: The Ultimate Acknowledgment The Leadership team believes that happy and smiling clients are the main awards and recognition for the company. Every client we sign up is an award for the team. It has been a part of multiple startups' journeys right from their MVP stage till they received millions of dollars in funding.

Moving Forward with a Clear Vision Co-Founders feel that the industry is exploding and hence the leadership team envisions the company to grow multifold and be a leader in the software services space.

The team benefits the clients by being the development engine that it is--- making clients' life easier, simpler, and

Accelerating the Blockchain Ecosystem with Community-Driven Projects

etrixCoin (MRX) is a community-driven blockchain project created as a software fork of Qtum (QTUM) that harnesses Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network

consensus.

MetrixCoin aims to deliver a synergistic platform that serves both the worldwide community and the industry sectors. The services include integrating the benefits of smart-contract capable blockchain technology with business models. The company has partnerships with leading IT solution companies in the world and it has a vision to provide a payment gateway for everyone and everything.

A Mission from Portugal to Metroid Community MetrixCoin used to be LindaCoin that was started in 2017 by a businessman from Portugal. He set out a vision that many adhered for by offering a blockchain and a coin to build business infrastructure that a community may support. The rapid growth of blockchain technologies challenged a project to make necessary adaptations that would seed the project's success to what it is today. The team endured these challenges collectively by pushing one development at a time. The beating heart that kept the project moving forward was the Metroid community.

A Proven Leadership with Passion Trent Richards, CEO of MetrixCoin (MRX), has owned and operated over 40 start-up businesses over the past 25 years, covering multiple market sectors from financial services, real estate, motor racing to aviation. It was Trent's passion for trading futures, options, forex, and in the later years,

www.analyticsinsight.net

cryptocurrency, that helped him to become an active crypto investor.

The opportunity came with a shakeup of the Metrix team for Trent to take on an active role as the CEO. Trent is managing the daily operations of MetrixCoin for the past eighteen months, and through his leadership, the project has continued along a strong trajectory with an astonishing number of deliverables on a monthly basis.The road map is just continuing to grow every quarter under Trent's determined leadership.

Synergizing Community with Personalized Relationships Under the hood, MetrixCoin is an eco-friendly blockchain equipped with scalable power, smart-contract technology, and affordable gas fees.

MetrixCoin partners are in unison with MetrixCoin's vision to build a nichepowered by MetrixCoin that synergizes the worldwide community to industry sectors. Key partners in the telecommunications, pharmaceutical, gaming, and gambling sectors are not only accepting MRX as a payment option but are also setting the stage to integrate MetrixCoin into their business practice(s). The team is closely working with partners to establish feasible andcost-effective models that enhance business-to-business andbusiness-to-consumer relationships.

Leveraging Cutting-Edge Technologies to Improvise Experiences Trent opines that technologies are growing faster than most people can learn about them. DEX's are still new to most people and the MetrixCoin's team wanted to ensure that the company

is not going to miss this boat. Through DEX listings like 1Inch, Uniswap,Pancake swap, and infinity wallet, MetrixCoin has ensured that Metroids areable to stay at the forefront of this technology. The next step forMetrixCoin is to move into the AI and VR spaces. It has already planned to do this with its latest release being a cutting-edge NFT platform that is well equipped with all the technologies capable enough to provide Metroids with the highest level of experience.

Collaborations to Expand the Brand Value Trent mentioned that MetrixCoin is establishing a blockchain service line to the world wide community and to industries. As of today, businesses have only tapped through the surface of blockchain technology. MetrixCoin wants to provide the tools to confidently burrow through the uncharted code space andmainstream blockchain, while working to create compliant and valuableproducts.

Just to name a few, the team has partnered with Assistance Technical ServiceS.r.l., based in Italy, that has connected the company with multiple clients interested in integrating blockchain into their business model. Another one of the partnerships is with CoinsPaid, a payment gateway that has processed 2.3 billion euros in crypto assets. MRX is listed as a payment option that opens up the reach with multiple merchants that use their payment gateway.The company can market MRX as a payment for all businesses that operate a merchantfacility.

One proud achievement is Wage Street Gaming (WSG), a compliant e-sports betting platform in which gamers wage MRX for skills. The gambling and gaming license has also permitted the team to get on board with online gaming and casino businesses that will accept MRX as a payment option and promote MetrixCoin.

Learning through Obstacles and Elevating the Journey Trent remarks that the biggest challenge the team had to deal with recently was limited capital. It was a community-run project that did not conduct any ICO. All fundings for the project were all donated by the Metroid community. The team tried exploring other revenue streams so that the project could continue to grow at an explosive rate as it had been over the past 12 months. The company now ought to search for new income sources to ensure that this challenge will get par through ongoing partnerships and other possible sources to make the project run successfully as it is.

However, the Metroid community has grown ten-fold in the past twelve months that speaks strongly of the vision, fundamentals, and the team achievements. The hard fork of the QTUM chain, paved the way for the team to secure amultifaceted, eco-friendly, and smart blockchain technology nine months ago.

Since the project's rebirth, the team has delivered five CEX listings and four DEX listings,and Buymetrix.com, which is a flagship product that offers Metroids theopportunity to purchase MRX without having an exchange account, wrapped MRXfor the Etherum and BSC networks that allows MRX to participate indecentralized finance (DeFi) protocols (i.e. liquidity pools) for eachnetwork.

Metrix Name Service (MNS) allows Metroids to use a short walletaddress with ease, and an NFT marketplace platform is being released this week, Tipbots in both Discord and Telegram, MyStakingWallet (MSW) is apaid online web wallet service that hosts masternode and stakingcapabilities 24/7, and MyNodePool is a pool staking service. The company also released its new gaming platform, Wage Street Gaming (WSG), to host all the latest games. It has also acquired key partnerships with otherprojects and businesses to expand the use-cases of MRX. A Future with MetrixCoin for Everyone and Everything Through MetrixCoin, Trent has planned to provide quality products and services to the worldwide community and industries. The team sees the project reach as one Metroid at a time and one business at a time with the aim to be in the top100-coin list in the crypto space. It is gradually climbing up the ladder and plans for this growth will continue at a faster rate as the months roll outand more development is pushed forward.

The ambitious roadmap is the journey that the team set out. It continues to make additions as it updates that journey.

Transforming the Internet of Things into the Economy of Things using blockchain technology peaq (Peaq Technology GmbH) is a Berlin-based blockchain company which maximises the potential of vehicles, machines, robots and devices for their owners and manufacturers. Their identity, access and payment platform allows companies to build decentralized solutions to fit any need or opportunity in the Economy of Things, and scale them via the Web3-ready peaq network. peaq enterprise is the enterprise arm driving adoption of the peaq network and token. peaq is creating a new machine economy, a decentralized Economy of Things, by safely empowering machines to the benefit of society. It enables companies to build decentralized solutions that empower machines to solve problems, save resources, and support people. peaq focuses on the development of an economy in which trust is built into its foundations and thereby building a world in which people don't fear machines because they don't have to.

Core Values that Make a Global Impact When the founders began peaq, led by CEO Till Wendler, they understood two core things; blockchain will change the world more profoundly than the internet did - and it won't happen overnight. At peaq they are not afraid to think differently. They've taken a different approach to all aspects of blockchain for enterprise. The core values of the founders are driven by the opportunity to make a

www.analyticsinsight.net

global impact. To this end, they have designed a bold goto-market strategy by opting to use the technology to create value before using the technology to exchange value.

Leveraging Blockchain Solutions peaq is one of a handful of blockchain companies founded and based out of Germany and one of the only ones with a focus on blockchain for enterprise. They have been working with large German automotives for three years and now through GAIA-X, the company is in a strong position to use the technology to advance the German automotive industry to the next paradigm of the internet, the Web3. The creation of decentralized solutions like Decentralized Charging which enables all stakeholders to co-govern, maintain and improve the charging eco-system while also enjoying a better, faster, cheaper and a more secure experience overall.

Driving Innovation with Artificial Intelligence The peaq network will use artificial intelligence (AI) to further reduce reliance on humans in the process of achieving consensus between all nodes in the network.

Details of how the company is using the disruptive tech will be released once the public network is launched as said by the management of the company.

A More Scalable Alternative to Blockchain

According to Till Wendler, the innovations brought to the market by the company so far speak for themselves. It developed a new type of blockchain called the DAGchain.

DAG is a type of distributed ledger technology that is a faster and more scalable alternative to blockchain. DAG can simultaneously achieve enterprise-grade scalability, consistency, and decentralization that makes it so unique than the others. The company combined the advantages of DAG with the stability of trusted blockchain technology.

However, this is not the only innovation that the company has been developing, its blockchain technology also enables the world's first decentralized charging solution and this will lead to more range security fostering a smooth user experience when charging by also contributing to transparency and interoperability in authorization and billing processes.

Milestones and Assets to the Company peaq has reached some substantial milestones since its very foundation. It is the first ever blockchain company to become an official member of the VDA (German Automotive Industry Association). peaq is also an official member of the GAIA-X moveID project. The European association for data and cloud. Peaq is part of the GAIA-X 4 future mobility moveID project which aims to bring cloud applications to autonomous and connected vehicles to achieve European data sovereignty and to develop common standards for a secure, connected, and open data infrastructure to the EU's highest IT security and data protection requirements.

Peaq's clients also include leading companies that are listed in the Fortune 100 ranking, such as Audi and NTT and the company also comprises a lot of expertise within its advisory board, with current and former C-level executives from Cisco, P&G, VW, Dyson and more.

Overcoming the Challenges to Build a Better Future The company was started in the year 2017 and when asked about the biggest challenge ever, Till Wendler mentioned about the time when crypto market collapsed., “There was a lot of scepticism around the technology then. It still exists today but to a much, much lesser degree. After the collapse of the crypto market in

www.analyticsinsight.net

2018 the company had to push on and continue to raise funds and develop the technology in a very difficult environment” he recollected.

“Another big challenge was educating the people, especially the clients about the potential of technology to the point that they could actually believe in it and proactively seek the technological benefits by with an urge to move fast together towards building better solutions, ecosystems, industries, and altogether better future”, said Till.

A Future that Shines Bright Till believes that decentralization of the internet is becoming increasingly relevant today and even more so tomorrow. “By replacing centralized Web2 infrastructure with decentralized Web3 infrastructure, the internet of things becomes the economy of things which is peer-to-peer, efficient, scalable, future proof” he adds.

By giving vehicles, machines, robots, and devices their own self-sovereign identities and peer-to-peer access authorization, payments would become possible without the need for intermediaries which include privacy risks and hence Till asserts that machines siloed by centralized platforms become fully accessible to anyone and anything, enabling them to provide and render any goods and services directly, in a machinecentric economy of things.

Putting it in a nutshell, “Creating clarity and transparency is what peaq wants to do in the future by solving problems. Pone such problem we're currently solving is the fragmented charging infrastructure in electromobility for the millions of end customers using the decentralized charging solution on top of the peaq network” Till says.

The company sees the future of decentralized blockchain to be very bright yet effective.

Redefining Blockchain Innovation by Leveraging Consumer Centric Solutions Presence Labs was founded in 2020 with an ambition to provide access to the next level of web. Presence's browser overlay provides direct access to the Overweb, a safe digital space in which real people and information have presence and interactions over the webpage. With Presence, the web is like a town where each page is a table in a cafe, an aisle in a shop or a place that everyone can visit and meet real people of like minds.

The overlay is accessible through the Presence browser extension (Chrome only at the moment), the Canopi Enterprise SDK, and a forthcoming mobile app. In the future, it will be supported natively by browsers that adopt the protocol.

Canopi Enterprise enables website owners to create communities on their site without the necessity for third-party internet platforms where real people get to meet each other, have a meeting or an event above a webpage.

Creating a Webpage to Interact, Collaborate and Beyond The mission of the company is to enable decentralized communities to occupy the space that is above the webpage. It aims to create a digital public space above the webpage that operates as a parallel system where people can express their thoughts, opinions, and knowledge and be rewarded based on the value their contributions create in the ecosystem. They can set and adjust their privacy levels. They also own, control, and have the option to monetize their data.

This particular type of ecosystem incentivizes individuals, teams, and communities to connect, interact, and create value around their shared areas of interest.

www.analyticsinsight.net

The journey of the webpage started with Bridgit.io filing the provisional patent for the bridge in 2017: a bi-directional conceptual link between an idea on one page (e.g., a piece of text, a part of an image, a segment of a video or podcast) and an idea on another page that defines the semantic relationship between the ideas (e.g., supporting, contradicting). Of course, multiple bridges can be attached to a single idea. Hence Bridgit.io saw the bridge as a basic building block of knowledge that self-assembles into a universal knowledge graph, thereby creating information ecologies that enable decentralized factchecking, rapid discovery of trustworthy information, contextual information and interactions anywhere on the web.

Bridging required a browser overlay and therefore a new browser or a browser extension.

Because of the challenges of connecting with people during the pandemic and the fact that ZOOM gatherings had unforeseen results of millions of like-minded people getting connected, the Presence team decided to fast forward Canopi so that people could connect, interact, and collaborate with other people they would otherwise not meet. Canopi is like a chatroom with private messaging on every webpage.

An Eminent Leader Daveed Benjamin is a Co-Founder and the CEO of of Presence Labs. He is a Stanford-graduated engineer with over 20 years of experience in high technology. Daveed is currently reinstalling the big missing feature of the web that is- annotation - and

modernization of the web in the 21st century. He has been designing blockchain-based browser overlay systems for the past four years and is expanding the conversation from the text-on-text annotation to the computational space above the webpage Daveed lives in Tulum, Mexico where he has initiated the Regen Tulum, a decentralized movement to regenerate Tulum that funds regenerative projects on the Mayan Riviera with place-based NFTs and a Defi community currency.

From the very beginning, Daveed has always strived to bring the best to his company and local communities.

Innovating Safe and Transparent Blockchain Solutions Presence Labs is creating a Layer 2 cross-chain protocol and platform that enables safe and transparent access to the space above the webpage where participants control their identity, own their data, and are also rewarded for their contributions which are stored on the blockchain as NFTs. This is the first blockchain solution that is focused on the space above the webpage. Presence's browser overlay provides an access to the space above any webpage. This is also one of the few blockchain solutions focused on safe digital communities or digital nations based on common purpose rather than geography. The Presence browser overlay has its PRESENCE token but it will accept other cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, Cardano, and Shiba Inu. Along with these, Canopi Enterprise enables website owners to create communities on their site without the third-party internet platforms so they can: Ÿ Enable their community to connect on a whole different level Ÿ Expand their digital presence Ÿ Connect directly with customers and prospective customers Ÿ Occupy the space above their website.

Disruptive Technologies to Leverage Innovation Presence Labs has always fostered innovation. Talking about innovation, Daveed says, “Presence enables computations in the space above the webpage. It has developed and is leveraging the Overweb pattern to create a mycelial network for the next level of the web”. According to Daveed, disruptive technologies like AI, ML are enabling blockchain to provide authentication, security, transparency, and rewards to entirely new use cases that would not otherwise be possible. He believes that these disruptive technologies will produce datasets that catalyse the advancement of current machinelearning applications allowing them to have greater utility and meaningful use.

www.analyticsinsight.net

Noteworthy Awards and Achievements In 2019, Presence Labs (via parent company Bridgit.io) won the Disruptive Technology Culture Driver award from the EU's flagship- Next Generation Internet program for bridging.

Bridges democratize linking, incentivizing participants to connect information on an idea-by-idea basis with a relationship. Once the relationship is validated, the bridges self-assemble into a blockchain-enabled knowledge graph that enables unbiased fact-checking, rapid discovery of trustworthy information, and 360° context for relevant ideas in the information ecology. The company has strategically partnered with large data-driven CBOs such as The Forbes Funds to begin piloting UN SDG and social determinants of health-focused initiatives as soon as the second quarter of 2022.

That is not it, Daveed also has various feathers in his cap that bring laurels to the company. He is a fellow of the RSA. Daveed is also the author of the award-winning' Pachas Pajamas which deals with augmented reality and is adapted for an animated series as well as a NFT Metaverse game.

A Catalysed Future of Advancements Daveed believes that the Presence browser overlay will catalyse a newfound interest in the space above the web page.

This will be the first part of the Metaverse to be widely adopted.

“Companies will begin building overlay applications, smart tags, and forming digital entities. Some browsers will adopt the protocols so that they offer access to the Overweb. New browsers with the protocols built-in will emerge. People will come together and form digital nations. People will safely meet, interact, and collaborate with like-minded people. There will be competitions to create bridges (i.e., knowledge NFTs), and building bridges will become a self-directed occupation for tens if not hundreds of thousands of people” says Daveed. He further believes that their efforts will create a universal knowledge graph that will enable people to discover trustworthy information without always having to resort to search. He aims to be an active participant in building a future where people will have access to information and tools that improve their ability to discern false claims, ultimately becoming more productive and less confused. “Many people will experience more cognitive freedom than ever before” concludes Daveed.

Revolutionizing Drop Shipping Business with a Combination of Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain

R

eddocoin is the first ever crypto-friendly ecommerce platform that provides full automatization in drop shipping business.

The company has designed a real-time-saving AI bot, which crawls the web and automatically detects the most profitable and best-selling products worldwide. Firstly, the bot filters products by the growth rate, price, and order volume. Secondly, it collects all the selected items in Reddocoin's centralized system and, lastly, imports them to the matching categories on the retailer's online store.

Reddocoin's AI-powered bot is more efficient when compared to the group of personal searching assistants and category managers.

Transforming the Global E-Commerce with Trailblazing Solutions Reddocoin was founded in 2018 with the mission to solve the greatest problems that businesses face in the ecommerce sector globally. The company is developing a blockchain-based, decentralized, and comprehensive ecommerce ecosystem with extended functionalities and integrated artificial intelligence. Reddocoinis now on its path to revolutionize e-commerce for everyone.

The company aims to become a decentralized platform in the future, which governed by smart contracts and is

www.analyticsinsight.net

filled with full participation of Reddo stakeholders.

The Headstrong Duo Reddocoin was founded by Anzor Nishnianidze, the current CTO and Beka Natmeladze the current CEO of the company. Both the leaders have successfully worked on and implemented innovative blockchain projects worldwide. They fully understand customers' needs in this era of online retail as they are totally familiar with blockchain and e-commerce. The duo is also up-to-date on the industry's trends and challenges, which makes the job of bringing up solutions and innovations a lot faster and easier.

Blockchain Technology at the Heart of the Company's Development Reddocoin is bringing the blockchain in drop shipping. It is a new use case of blockchain in one of the world's largest industries. It is intended to constantly improve on its innovative solution and make it possible for all users to leverage the best of the blockchain within the Reddocoin ecosystem.

There are several reasons why blockchain technology is a core element of Reddocoin's development. The most important is the reliability with which a blockchain's decentralized model protects the Reddocoin platform against attacks and attempts to compromise the system.

41

“ Unlike many tokens that are only primarily used by customers, Reddo token presents use cases for both customers and businesses alike. In this manner, the economic structure of Reddocoin has this token as the primary economic driver and they play an essential role in the functionality of the system.

The digital assets of all users are held in a secure wallet against fraud and unauthorized access. All transactions made within the Reddocoin application are also stored on blockchain where the users can keep track of them.

Another advantage to this is its transparency. In the Reddocoin community, every user can check the execution of each transaction. In addition to all this, blockchain technology enables borderless payment solutions for businesses and Reddocoin holders, which makes the company the easiest, fastest, and safest way to accept pure-digital payments today. Reddocoin aims to become one of the best payment solutions for businesses worldwide.

Infusing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Better Architecture Beka believes that blockchain and artificial intelligence are two of the top in-demand technologies right now.

“Individually, these technologies can accrue and pass on data in different ways. Their fusion, therefore, has lots of benefits, and it can take the utilization of data to new levels. At the same time, the integration of machine learning and AI into the blockchain can significantly boose blockchain's unerlying architecture and efficiency, as well as the potential of AI. AI can enhance blockchain productivity far better than humans think,” he says.

Unleashing Efficiency and Innovation with Disruptive Technologies Speaking about innovation Beka said that one of the main features of Reddo is the combination of blockchain, artificial intelligence, and software development technologies. This careful integration has made the platform efficient, innovative, fast, transparent, open, and safe for all users. Reduction of transaction and business costs and the simplification of the purchase process are some of the key advantages of the company.

Remarkable Collaborations as a Big Medal Reddocoin has got several notable collaborations, recognitions, awards and accolades for leveraging blockchain technology seamlessly. The U.S based online marketplace Shofex.com was one of the first partners of Reddocoin. The collaboration began an year ago and has successfully tested the beta version of Reddocoin's innovative thinking searching bot and implemented the

www.analyticsinsight.net

fully automated drop shipping service to deliver their products. After its ICO phases, shofex.com will be one of the first online stores in the world to run in the Reddocoin ecosystem and accept 'Reddo' as a payment method.

Conquering the Challenges by Finding Right Partners One of the challenges the company faced initially was to find the right partners (clients) and to use their platforms for testing the beta version of the Reddocoin automated drop shipping tool, says Beka. Later, with its exceptional capabilities, Reddocoin attracted ll the US-based partners of the company, including the online stores, and the wholesale vendors to work with it and gave the chance to demonstrate how its innovative solutions could make their businesses easier and more profitable.

Expecting Aggressive Growth in the Future Reddocoin is currently conducting an ICO campaign, and t h e a i m i s n o t j u s t t o d eve l o p t h e c o m p a ny ' s decentralized e-commerce ecosystem and token application, but to aggressively scale growth within the industry.

“Usability is a critical requirement for cryptocurrency adoption. For such a reason, the company is planning to reward Reddocoin users for their loyalty and support in making Reddocoin their daily transaction currency. For this, the members have designed the Reddocoin referral and loyalty program. Usability will enhance the future value of Reddocoin and foster the ecosystem growth opportunities, as well as the massive adoption of cryptocurrency,” claimsthe CEO. As per the projections, there will be 10,000 active online stores in the Reddocoin business ecosystem with a revenue of US$1.85 billion, by 2026 and Beka believes the Reddocoin community will grow to more than 2 million active users worldwide by that time. “With the right opportunity, timing, and partnerships, Reddo is poised for explosive growth. As for the industry, we envision a future where more businesses will follow the Reddocoin trend” he concluded.

Envisioning a Disruption Similar to the Internet with Blockchain Technology

lockchain technology appears to have shaken up the entire technology innovation system.

Blockchain is constantly drawing attention and will revolutionize the industrial landscape. Apart from cryptocurrency, several other industries are also using this technology to optimize business operations and efficiently carry out company objectives. SmartMesh is one such company that uses blockchain to revolutionize transaction methods for both data and value, and the communications industry through more agile and robust networks.

SmartMesh is a Singapore-based firm established in 2017 that is using blockchain technology to build the global value internet and web 3.0 ecosystem with decentralized mesh network.

Leveraging Digitalization and Promoting Growth SmartMesh's mission is to 'connect the unconnected and bank the unbanked'. While the world has been enjoying growth by leveraging digitalization, the existing centralized business model in this digital era has also created an inequality in development, where 3.7 billion people or just below 50% of the world's population remains unconnected, and therefore, not able to benefit from the advantages brought about by the internet. The company facilitates inclusive connectivity and finance for all beings by building a decentralized network infrastructure powered by SmartMesh (inclusive connectivity), which is owned,

www.analyticsinsight.net

deployed, and operated by individuals rather than big telcos. The infrastructure allows its ecosystem partners like Tokenship to construct a decentralized social platform that drives creator economy (inclusive finance).

A Headstrong Leader Henry Wang is the Founder and CEO of SmartMesh. His mission is to build the Value Internet ecosystem using SmartMesh inclusive connectivity. An interplanetary, distributed, and self-organized mobile mesh network is being constructed under his supervision to support a wide array of next-generation edge computing, edge storage, edge intelligence applications, and DeFi applications. To this end, Henry created IBAF and UCCO to promote global blockchain technology and applications. He also serves as an adviser to several blockchain associations to enhance international cooperation. Henry co-founded the SUSSSmartMesh Blockchain Living Lab, the base for blockchain incubation and interoperability. His research and development projects cover internet protocol, blockchain, chip design, artificial intelligence, big data, edge computing, Internet of Things, space ground integration network, and Internet of Everything.

Deploying Blockchain to Tackle Inequality Issues The public perception of blockchain technology is always surrounding Bitcoin, money laundering, and speculative investment, SmartMesh aims to bring tangible benefits to

45

“ SmartMesh blockchain infrastructure together with Tokenship ecosystem will form the foundation for a decentralized metaverse, where information and value are transacted freely and concurrently, thereby bringing growth to emerging markets through inclusive communication and finance.

the underserves, by leveraging the decentralized property of blockchain technology to address inequality issues in global economic development. It brings a decentralized business model to resolve the fundamental accessibility issue with communication networks, especially in underserved communities.

The decentralized model means that deployment, operations, and maintenance of such infrastructure are at the hands of the local communities. Instead of only company having the resources to provide services and hence is the only monetary beneficial (as in the existing centralized business model), here anyone can tape onto resources available in the network that is supported by blockchain and offer services or trade within the local communities and be compensated for the contribution. This is a new shared economy enabled by SmartMesh where monetary benefits are distributed within the local communities and individuals rather than the conglomerates. This is SmartMesh's contribution to the 3.7 billion unconnected and the 1.7 billion unbanked population by bringing inclusive connectivity and finance.

Entwining Blockchain and AI for Greater Impacts Henry presumes that the emergence of blockchain technology, AI, and IoT sensors brings to life the convergence of the physical and virtual world, the metaverse. With these technologies, metaverse doesn't only exist in games, but can also exist in real-life scenarios.

SmartMesh's eco partner Tokenship Foundation is developing the Tokenship protocol, an innovative social networking protocol that encompasses NFT, DAO, DeFi, and IoTs, which serves as the cornerstone for Web3.0 and metaverse.

Supported by the SmartMesh decentralized communication network, it envisions a metaverse formed by 'maniverses™' (community DAOs), which are selfgoverned and autonomous.

Futuristic Innovations to Change the Idea of Transactions According to Henry, most popular blockchains have a fundamental issue with low throughput rate (TPS) and significant transaction fees, therefore, deemed not suitable for application in use cases that create voluminous transactions, like in payment or IoT solutions. SmartMesh's

www.analyticsinsight.net

team addressed these issues with its first optimized spectrum blockchain. It is extremely lightweight and high energy-efficient that can be run on small devices like a router, which has low CPU and limited storage space. Next the company built photon, the layer 2 payment network on spectrum that supports high TPS and offline and off-chain transactions, i.e., to support transactions when the internet is not available, as the protocol can handle transaction verification and confirmation off-chain. This offline and offchain ability is by no means trivial and it opens the SmartMesh's blockchain offering to many applications operating in an environment with intermittent internet.

Overcoming Hurdles by Changing the Strategic Plans Henry claims that one of the major components of SmartMesh's solution involves hardware. The recent global chip shortage crisis has caused a huge delay in the planned rollout of the mesh network. The company had to make significant changes to the strategic plans to deal with the crisis.

Developments as Awards and Trophies The company believes in building an ecosystem that involves all partners and communities' remarks Henry. In 2020, it partnered with the Singapore University of Social Sciences to establish the permanent blockchain living lab at the university, where an incubation platform is open to all students from SUSS to develop applications on the S m a r t M e s h i n f ra s t r u c t u r e t h a t s u p p o r t s o f fl i n e transactions. In the same year, SmartMesh together with its partner won the IMDA Blockchain Challenge award in demonstrating its cross-chain capabilities in a supply chain use case.

The Future is Web 3.0 Henry opines that the industry will embrace Web 3.0 and its principle, decentralization. It will put heavy emphasis on individuals where solutions are going to center around individuals and their privacy. Creators are owners for contents that they create and have the autonomy to determine how they should be shared, able to create an economy around these assets, and benefit from it.

Decentralization also drives interoperability as there will be no boundary where data is concerned, no single entity can manipulate and dictate who has access to data and how data should be used and shared.

Immutable data stored on blockchain cannot be challenged for mutation or manipulation. Massive requirement of genuine data for training machine learning models can be fulfilled by the immutable blockchain-based data sources. Same is true for big data that is extensively used for analytics, associating blockchain to big data, companies can have a highly genuine analytical perspective of their businesses and conditions.

Mithilesh advised that to make blockchain more easily available to businesses and to be used at an extensive level, more cloud companies should think of providing blockchain services as a part of their suite so that the technology can be utilised beyond the set of only blockchain expert resources.

Rising Through the Challenges One of the major challenges the company faced was to retain talented resources that were trained by Softlabs Group from the ground level.

Big giants from the IT Industry have always posed a threat to the longterm plan execution since there has been considerable attrition during the journey. Softlabs Group mitigated this challenge by developing a company culture based on a work life balance and motivating the team members by involving them with challenging roles within a project to developing a sense of responsibility and ownership within them.

Satisfied Testimonials Born Out of Utter Commitment During this journey, Softlabs has been recognized by numerous global media companies that include Your Story, Clutch, GoodFirms, TopFirms, ITFirms, AppFutura, SelectedFirms, Silicon India, and many more. The team has always received testimonials and recommendations from all of their international as well as domestic clients that include FP McCann Limited -UK, Symbio Energy Limited UK, Shrenuj Limited -India, HSBC -India, Bridgemonte Advisors - India, Wiseman Talents - Kenya, Personal Cyklar- Sweden, Reliance Mutual Funds, India, Avestor Inc – USA, State University of Newyork in Korea and many others.

A Future with Sustainable Blockchain Today the entire world is looking up to Indian companies for blockchain-related assistance and blockchain based services and solutions. So, the future for blockchain services companies from India is very bright and it is the best time for them to invest focused efforts and flourish. Mithilesh mentioned that the team of Softlabs Group has developed niche area and core strength for itself in the blockchain services market.

Softlabs Group has been working on developing its own blockchain platform since 2020. It already has a reasonably good number of clients worldwide using its blockchain solutions built on the prevalent, popular blockchain platforms. Due to network congestion and ever-increasing gas fees, it has become very difficult for its clients to continue using these blockchain platforms affordably, for their business solutions.

Softlabs Group is working on a sustainable model of a blockchain that will be scalable with high throughput and negligible gas fees for transactions. This way, Softlabs anticipates a future filled with opportunities and challenges.

Revolutionizing Blockchain Solutions with an Independent Global Monetary System

W

orldfree develops software that derives from natural language reasoning (NLR), after first processing it (NLP) and then understanding it (NLU). It develops the FreeMark, which is a global digicurrency that is more stable than fiat currencies, and resistant to inflation. Most “stablecoins” are priced relative to fiat currencies, which means they have no actual assets behind them, as fiat currencies in turn have no assets behind them.

The FreeMark differs from the others as it is pegged to a basket of 20 commodities, which serves as a proxy to inflation because most goods are made of these raw materials, which include metals, energy, food, and fibres.

Formalizing International Transactions by Providing Digital Solutions Worldfree was established to help protect the purchasing power of its users' wealth, by defending against inflation with a better-engineered medium of exchange. The Worldfree marketplace is also novel as an independent global monetary system established to defend economic liberty, with some novel approaches to formalize international transactions and provide a digital solution to individual rights and contract law.

Worldfree's CEO Kevin Alexander Paul Kirchman is the author of three books and has degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering as well as in computer science. He began working for his father's fintech software business, which was founded in the 1960s as a pioneer in the banking software industry and thus Kevin is a 2nd generation software entrepreneur.

Kevin developed natural language reasoning (NLR) technology that was purchased by clients such as Baxter Healthcare and P&G. NLR is built upon new theories of validation, deduction, and lexicology, which are the basis of a historically distinct epistemological theory developed over more than ten years. Some of the future opportunities offered by NLR are the ability to integrate conceptual knowledge into daily transactions, and a rational-voice interface.

Empowering Blockchain Technology Blockchain technology places all transactions in public, even though they are encrypted. This is unwise, although some tout “transparency”, which is just another word for potential exposure of competitive advantage and invasion of privacy. “AI data mining algorithms can already expose interactions between identified account holders, even before quantum computing arrives” says

Using AI at the Forefront to Drive Innovation Kevin is always at the forefront when to comes to using disruptive technologies. And talking about the importance of AI, Kevin claims “AI can identify a source of goods, its suppliers, and its clients, with pattern matching, as long as some parties are identified or “tell on them”. This exposes all business parties to what should be a private business, undermining their financial stability and long-term viability”.

As financial activity increasingly becomes transacted by digitally encrypted mediums of exchange, Worldfree is all set to seek alternative global internets to maintain the liberty of expression and commerce that are critical to the health, success, and happiness of 8 billion people.

Developing Solutions that Create a Global Impact Talking about innovation, Kevin says, “Worldfree decided early in the game that transactions could not be stored in public and hence keeping this in mind, they developed the Nodechain, which is a network-based data-storage algorithm relying upon encryption for independent functioning. Worldfree has spent 3 years developing the technology behind the FreeMark, and the company is now looking forward to re-release the FreeMark application in the early 2022”.

Adding to this he says, “If all new digicurrencies do is to make digital copies of fiat money, then humanity will have squandered a great opportunity to fundamentally improve the mediums of exchange that this new paradigm could bring. This might very well improve the lives, liberties, and living conditions of billions of people globally, rather than following the stagnant, “globalVenezuela” tyrannical political movement that is currently pursuing more power. Sometimes metals, diamonds or other precious commodities back stablecoins, but these can be volatile and have limited scalability as global mediums of exchange”.

the solutions to its customers. It strives impeccably to help its clientele drive innovation. Most of the investors grasp the importance of protecting their wealth against inflation as they see the unstoppable QE raising the prospect of hyperinflation. “The crypto community may shun placing assets behind digicurrencies because that requires people and is considered to be a source of centralization” adds Kevin. But a market of many assetbacked digital currencies is by its nature decentralized, as each provider is responsible for their financial integrity, which is judged freely by market buyers with easy entry and exit from a particular digicurrency.

London financial daily CityAM and the Global Family Office Magazine have both recognized the innovativeness of FreeMark.

Surpassing the Global Challenge Talking about the major challenge to the company, Kevin said, “COVID impacted the company as it has others.

More than US$15 million in investments from 3 different investor groups has been delayed because of the pandemic, and this has required the company to stay the course, but the climate is much better now”. The company's novel Nodechain peer-to-peer technology has required development and more time, luckily somewhat afforded by the delays in its financing”, he added.

Prepping Up to be the Digi Currency Leaders Worldfree intends to be a leader as one of many possible digicurrencies that will be in the market to challenge the unbacked, central-bank blockchain-based paradigms that will arise. “Distributed” is also another term for the phrase “functioning free-markets with low barriers to entry”, says Kirchman. “This means that having a marketplace with many competitors also represents a distributed paradigm, and should be encouraged by responsible consumers by freely patronizing different providers so that competitive markets are maintained, and their interests served. Worldfree intends to challenge the rising global dictatorship, he added.
