Fireblocks announces startup-focused blockchain starter toolkit

Crypto safekeeping firm Fireblocks is rolling out a new suit aimed at empowering startups with blockchain-based tools.

Fireblocks, a platform for building decentralized apps and managing crypto operations, has launched a new tool designed to help startups develop blockchain-based products.

The new suit called Fireblocks for Startups aims to provide startups with blockchain infrastructure features, offering such services as treasury management, custody wallets-as-a-service, and embedded wallets among others, a press release shared with crypto.news says.

With the tool, startups could manage their day-to-day treasury operations in crypto, connect to trading platforms, and access decentralized finance. Additionally, it allows product builders to create non-custodial key management solutions, giving them control over their wallets, the press release reads.

Fireblocks co-founder Idan Ofrat says the company wants to help startups address security concerns, noting that many successful projects tend to focus “solely on maintaining front-end stability while neglecting security in the process” during periods of hypergrowth.

Founded in 2018 by Michael Shaulov, Pavel Berengoltz, and Idan Ofrat, Fireblocks offers blockchain firms a suite of products and services designed to provide infrastructure for managing digital assets. The company has raised over $1 billion in funding from investors including Cyberstarts, Tenaya Capital, and Eight Roads among others, according to data from PitchBook.

Le Poisson Rouge brings ticketing on-chain with Aptos integration

Le Poisson Rouge (LPR), an iconic music venue in New York City, has sealed an exclusive partnership with live event ticketing platform KYD Labs to bring its ticketing system on-chain.

On Tuesday, Aptos Labs announced that KYD Labs and LPR had entered an exclusive four-year deal that will see the Aptos blockchain power all of the historic NYC venue’s shows and tickets.

LPR is first major U.S. venue to go all on-chain

The collaboration is the first instance where a major U.S. venue has gone fully on-chain, the Aptos team posted on X. It’s a major milestone for Web3, Aptos added, with this partnership set to offer Le Poisson Rouge’s event goers and music fans a new experience.

“A major US venue with hundreds of thousands of tickets per year transitioning to on-chain ticketing is a big step forward for blockchain utility. Eventually, ticketing will all be on-chain. Better interoperability, directly connecting event organizers to buyers, easy promotions, and verified secondary sales are some big advantages,” Avery Ching, the CTO and co-founder of Aptos Labs, said.

KYD Labs will help LPR tap into the benefits of blockchain technology to improve the ticketing experience for fans. Leveraging Aptos’s technology will also be crucial to artists, who can further engage with fans via on-chain initiatives.

Going on-chain removes challenges and barriers associated with legacy ticketing systems.

Overall, LPR will leverage Aptos to not only monitor secondary ticket sales but also offer a transparent mechanism for its loyalty programs, pricing, and booking rates.

Le Poisson Rouge opened in 2008 and has grown into a historic music venue in New York. Aptos is a Layer-1 blockchain that launched in October 2022 and offers a scalable, low-transaction costs network.

Cambodia’s CBDC dev Soramitsu to pilot digital currency for Papua New Guinea

Soramitsu Labs, a blockchain developer, intends to conduct a digital currency pilot in Papua New Guinea aimed at improving financial inclusion and security through economic digitization.

Japan-based blockchain firm Soramitsu Labs is gearing up to initiate a proof-of-concept experiment for a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in Papua New Guinea, as requested by the nation’s central bank. The Tokyo-headquartered says the initiative aims to leverage blockchain technology to create “a common platform for Pacific island nations,” according to a press release seen by crypto.news.

Papua New Guinea, grappling with some challenges in financial inclusion and security, appears to be seeking new blockchain-based solutions to address these issues. Many regions in the country experience frequent violent crimes, including robberies, which hinder financial accessibility and safety.

Soramitsu says the introduction of a CBDC could serve as a potential solution, providing a “traceable record for potential recovery” should such incidents occur. However, the company didn’t specify the duration of the pilot or when Papua New Guinea plans to launch its CBDC.

Meanwhile, Soramitsu is set to build a blockchain-based bond market gateway for the Pacific island nation of Palau. As crypto.news reported earlier, the company secured the contract and plans to introduce the marketplace on a trial basis in fiscal 2024, with a full rollout expected the following year. The initiative will enable the Palauan government to issue bonds to individual investors and manage principal and interest payments efficiently.

In 2020, Soramitsu gained prominence by introducing a CBDC in Cambodia, achieving over 10 million accounts by December 2023, representing 60% of the country’s population. Cambodia’s central bank governor Chea Serey later revealed plans to expand the CBDC’s global footprint through collaborations with UnionPay International, China’s primary card payment service, and other international partners.

Resonance Security unveils new tool for web3 websites to combat DNS manipulation

Blockchain security firm Resonance Security is rolling out a new tool to help web3 protocols defend against DNS and CDN manipulations.

Resonance Security has developed a new tool designed to capture continuous snapshots of the web state, including DNS records and scripts of crypto websites in a bid to detect unauthorized modifications in real-time.

According to a press release shared with crypto.news, the new tool called “Harmony” will enable crypto investors to detect early CDN hijackings and DNS manipulations, tactics increasingly exploited by malicious actors to create fraudulent websites and steal personal information.

Resonance Security chief executive Charles Dray says the solution will help projects avoid DNS takeovers and “keep their sensitive assets from being exposed to black-hat hacking groups.”

“The goal is to keep any organization’s cybersecurity strategies in tune with continuously evolving cyberattacks.”

Charles Dray

DNS hijacking has recently emerged as a favored attack vector among cybercriminals. Recent incidents involving compromised domains, such as those affecting protocols Celer Network and Compound Finance, underscore the vulnerability of crypto websites to such attacks. While the exact extent of the attack remains uncertain, security experts believe that approximately 11 platforms, including Pendle Finance, Polymarket, and THORChain, might still remain potential targets.

Paradigm’s anonymous researcher under the alias “samczsun” suggested that the hacks are believed to have originated from Google Domains accounts associated with these protocols. Last year, Squarespace acquired Google Domains in a deal valued at $180 million.

Resonance Security says the company’s latest solution utilizes artificial intelligence to assess results and eliminate false positives to “minimize research time for both the customer and Resonance’s incident response team.”

Venture capital is flowing to Solana ecosystem | Opinion

Solana has outperformed all expectations in the aftermath of the FTX black swan event, which saw the price of its native token plunge to single digits. Now, it stands as far more than the unlikely underdog. With VanEck’s recent filing for a Solana (SOL) exchange-traded fund, Solana is knocking on the doors of the big leagues.

But what makes Solana so powerful that Pantera Capital declared it the “macOS of blockchains”? It all boils down to the user experience. Solana is perhaps the most consumer-facing blockchain that seeks to meet users in the middle and even, sometimes, abstracts away its on-chain features.

Solana’s monolithic blockchain architecture

Unlike modular blockchains like Ethereum and Cosmos, the monolithic design of Solana’s network allows for vertical integration. It’s a design that optimizes every blockchain component, resulting in a seamless user experience, much like the one with Apple’s operating systems.

This architecture enables Solana to handle high throughput and low transaction fees. Both are crucial factors for decentralized finance applications, decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs), and a host of other low-friction blockchain applications, such as the recently launched Blinks. Thanks to optimizing its entire stack, Solana is an attractive platform for developers and users alike, contributing to a surge in retail activity and decentralized exchange (DEX) volume on the network. As a result, Solana has seen growth spikes in both the number of active users and the volume of transactions, positioning it as a leading blockchain.

Growing on-chain activity

Solana’s growth is evident from its increase in unique active addresses from 14,000 in October 2020 to nearly 1.34 million today. Priority fees have also jumped from under $100,000 per month in mid-2023 to over $60 million in March 2024. The share of DEX volume on Solana has also risen significantly, from 0% in early 2021 to over 24% by May 2024, while 85% of all new tokens on DEXs as of May 2024 were based on Solana.

It’s fairly easy to explain these on-chain growth trends. Solana has become a popular favorite for creating new tokens and meme coins. The ease of use, combined with Solana’s speed and low transaction fees, have made it the destination of choice for casual traders. The rise in popularity of Telegram trading bots, no doubt, contributed to the on-chain explosion on Solana, with the market cap of community-driven meme tokens like Dogwifhat (WIF) having reached billions.

The world’s first mainstream blockchain

It would be short-sighted to attribute all of Solana’s growth and future promise to the money markets. Sure enough, platforms like MarginFi and Jupiter are pushing the envelope for simple defi products that don’t require users to have deep pockets in order to gain a meaningful edge in the trading experience. But Solana has proven itself to be capable of so much more.

Perhaps that explains why Pantera Capital just concluded a raise for a new fund aimed at purchasing up to $250 million worth of SOL tokens (at a significant discount since the tokens are from the FTX bankruptcy estate). This came on the heels of a mega investment decision in April by Pantera Capital and Galaxy Trading to buy around 30 million locked SOL tokens with a cumulative value of $1.9 billion.

Even though the price of SOL has risen over 723% in the past year, Solana provides many opportunities for venture capitalists outside of speculating on the SOL token. One thing has become clear: crypto-adjacent technologies and digital systems that otherwise integrate web3 functionalities are closer to home for the average user than blockchain-native products. Solana is already one of the most widely used blockchain networks and is firmly charting a course to take crypto products to mainstream consumers.

Why venture capital is bullish on Solana

If the Apple comparisons ring true, Solana would have succeeded in giving users refined web3 use cases that change how we communicate, transact, and create. From real estate to digital networks, from AI systems to identity verification services, there is no shortage of such projects being built on Solana. Privasea, for instance, is a technology that attests to human liveness to protect the digital presence of real people from bots and AI impersonations. With deep fakes, sybil activity, and other forms of digital fraud becoming more rampant than ever, solutions like Privasea are addressing a necessary aspect of daily life.

Another fine example is Grass, a layer built on Solana that is designed to give users control of the rails by which data itself is acquired for AI. The implication of its success would be to disrupt the billion-dollar AI industry, where only a handful of players have sufficient computing resources to crawl the entire internet. With over two million users already, Grass currently boasts the ability to fine-tune specific AI models and inform certain types of real-time inference. It is projected that, by the time Grass hits 25 million users, it will be capable of crawling enough data to train ChatGPT from scratch on a weekly basis!

As a final note, critics point to Solana’s history of network outages as a bearish factor. This perspective, of course, fails to consider that a major upgrade called Firedancer is slated to go live next year. Already, lite versions are being rolled out to incrementally boost the network’s resilience against congestion. Circumstances are conspiring to make Solana the home of a fresh generation of blockchain users, opening up untapped markets and revitalizing prevalent ones. Therefore, it only makes sense that venture capitalists are swooping in early with strategic long-term investments.

Stripe’s data partner Allium raises $16.5m to offer launchpads for financial institutions

Blockchain data provider Allium has secured $16.5 million in a Series A funding round led by Theory Ventures.

Allium, a database startup enabling enterprises to query blockchain data, has raised $16.5 million in its Series A funding round to enhance its infrastructure.

In a Thursday press release, the New York-headquartered firm announced that this funding, which brought the company’s total capital raised to $21.5 million, was led by Theory Ventures with additional support from Kleiner Perkins and Amplify Partners. As part of the deal, Theory Ventures founder Tomasz Tunguz will join Allium’s board of directors. The company’s valuation following this round remains undisclosed.

Founded in 2019, Allium boasts support from major industry players such as Stripe, Visa, the Uniswap Foundation, and Phantom. The company provides businesses with the capability to query data from over 40 blockchains, utilizing more than 100 schemas.

The startup notes that the amount and complexity of blockchain data “makes it tedious and technically challenging to understand and report blockchain activity,” which is what Allium co-founder and head Ethan Chan says the company is trying to solve by normalizing data across multiple blockchains and processing thousands of smart contracts “equating to petabytes of data.”

With the latest funding round, Allium plans to use the proceeds to expand its data infrastructure and scale its “go-to-market motion to offer launchpads for financial institutions seeking to embrace digital assets, as well as payment providers, brokerages, and the blockchain ecosystems for builders.”

Sei, ORDI and Arweave gain over 10% after Bitcoin jumps 3%

Sei, ORDI and Arweave have all surged over 10% over the past day to rank as the top gainers in the crypto market as Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market cap, jumped 3% in the same timeframe.

Sei

Sei (SEI) led the charge among the top gainers.

The coin, which is part of the Sei Project that launched in August 2023, saw a 12.5% increase in the last 24 hours. According to price data from crypto.news, SEI is currently priced at $0.397, with a 36% rise in daily trading volume to around $179 million.

Sei’s market cap now stands at $1.26 billion. However, the token’s value remains 65% below its all-time high of $1.14, achieved on March 16.

Files stored on Arweave are accessible through traditional web browsers, eliminating the need for special wallets or blockchain services. The platform is also developing a voting mechanism for users to moderate illicit content.

Bitcoin’s strong performance

The overall surge in these altcoins followed Bitcoin’s (BTC) 3% rise over the past day, reaching $66,732 on Saturday. Bitcoin’s 24-hour lows and highs were $65,319 and $67,377, respectively.

Market analysts attribute the recent price increase to several factors, including the end of the German government’s selling pressure. The German government recently sold its 49,858 BTC holdings, earning approximately $2.8 billion.

Additionally, Bitcoin ETFs have seen a new wave of inflows, surpassing $1 billion this week. A note from Gemini suggested that BTC’s recent price drop might have attracted new investors who previously lacked exposure to the leading cryptocurrency.

Meanwhile, the global cryptocurrency market cap also witnessed a 1.42% increase, elevating to a total of $2.43 trillion.
