ShardLab launches a digital ID and voucher distribution app

ShardLab, a division of Hashed, a leading Web3 venture capital firm, has launched a new web app introducing a revolutionary approach to utilizing decentralized identity (DiD) and seamlessly distributing vouchers, as per the latest updates shared with Finbold on July 8.

Integrating NFT vouchers with ICONSIAM

Following a successful showcase at Southeast Asia Blockchain Week (SEABW) 2024, where ShardLab demonstrated some practical applications of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the new app highlights additional uses of blockchain in the mainstream. 

During the SEABW event, attendees also saw how NFT vouchers powered by blockchain technology streamlined transactions at ICONSIAM, highlighting both the efficiency and security benefits in retail environments.

The integration of NFT vouchers with ICONSIAM’s point-of-sale (POS) systems, encompassing over 60 restaurants and shops, allowed attendees to easily redeem vouchers by simply scanning a QR code. 

Key features of the SEABW application:

Powered by advanced account abstraction (AA) and zero-knowledge (zk) technologies, the official SEABW application comes with a number of useful Features.

For one, the app offers enhanced digital ID verification through zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), allowing users to verify their identity without revealing sensitive information.

Likewise, users can seamlessly receive and redeem NFT-minted vouchers via QR codes directly through the app.

The app also incorporates account abstraction (AA), simplifying the crypto wallet experience and making blockchain apps more accessible to a broader audience.

Bringing blockchain to the mainstream

Hojin Kim, CEO of ShardLab, expressed enthusiasm for further blockchain adoption, stating:

“The launch of this application marks a significant milestone in our journey towards mainstream blockchain adoption. By integrating cutting-edge technologies like zero-knowledge proofs and account abstraction, we are paving the way for a future where blockchain is not only secure but also straightforward and convenient for everyday users.”

ShardLab continues to work on developing fresh solutions that will bridge the gap between blockchain technology and practical applications. 

The new app thus underscores blockchain’s potential to revolutionize industries by enhancing security, efficiency, and the overall user experience.

Ethereum (ETH)-Based DeFi Protocol Altcoin Dolomite (DOLO) Rises and Falls Following Binance Listing

An Ethereum (ETH)-based decentralized finance (DeFi) altcoin is displaying volatility after gaining support from Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange platform by volume. In a new press release, Binance says that the cross-chain DeFi protocol Dolomite (DOLO) – which offers its products across the ETH, Arbitrum (ARB) and Berachain (BERA) blockchains – will be added to its suite of crypto products. “Binance is excited to announce that Dolomite will be added to Binance Simple Earn, ‘Buy Crypto,’ Binance Convert and Binance Margin.” News of the addition preceded price swings for the asset, as it went from an August 26th low of $0.229 to a peak of $0.301 just a day later. However, DOLO subsequently plunged down to $0.193. It has since stabilized and is trading for $0.239 at time of writing, a 21.2% decrease during the last 24 hours. In its official whitepaper, the development team behind the project says its goal is to create a ful...

From Farms to Hubs: The Expanding DeFi Universe

From Farms to Hubs: The Expanding DeFi Universe! When you first heard of decentralized finance (DeFi), you m ay have imagined yield farmers donning digital overalls, poring over liquidity pools, and harvesting tokens like cryptocurrency corn. But today’s DeFi is no longer just about farming—it’s evolving into a sophisticated network of integrated liquidity hubs, cross-chain ecosystems, and modular finance structures. Let’s roll up our sleeves and dive into this evolution—from the era of yield farming to the rise of high-functioning DeFi hubs. 1. Harvesting the Yield: The Farming Era In the beginning, DeFi’s allure was simple and seductive: supply crypto assets, earn rewards. That’s the essence of yield farming —users provide liquidity or stake tokens in protocols to generate yield. At its core, you deposit tokens into a liquidity pool (e.g., the Uniswap ETH/USDC pool). That pool enables trades, and you earn a share of fees plus any extra incentives. Add the token-reward layer (...

Ripple to unlock 1 billion XRP today — what to expect?

Ripple’s escrow program, set in motion in 2017, sees up to 1 billion XRP unlocked on the first day of each month, with unused tokens typically re-escrowed.  Today, September 1, is no exception, with Ripple unlocking around $2.76 billion worth of the cryptocurrency (approximately 1.68% of the total supply). However, if the historical pattern continues, we’ll most likely see around 700 million tokens re-escrowed, meaning the effective net addition will be closer to 300 million XRP, valued near $861 million (some 0.50% of the supply). Ripple September XRP unlock August marked a rare deviation in Ripple’s escrow schedule when the standard 1 billion XRP release failed to appear on-chain. The uncertainty ended on August 9, when three separate escrow releases (500 million, 100 million, and 400 million XRP) were executed in quick succession and flagged by Whale Alert. In anticipation of the September release, the market was speculating whether the government mi...
