Comcast Texas

HOUSTON, TX (March 12, 2024) – Comcast Texas, the Houston area's largest internet service provider, will commit more than $1 million to shrink the local digital divide this year by supporting digital skills training programs, adding more Wi-Fi connected Lift Zones and providing grants to dozens of organizations that help thousands of people. The investment is part of Comcast’s Project UP – a comprehensive $1 billion initiative to advance digital opportunities across the nation and help build a future of unlimited possibilities. Digital Skills in the Workforce Over 90% of jobs available today require digital skills, yet nearly one-third of U.S. workers lack opportunities to build these skills. In 2024, Comcast Texas will continue to fund programs that teach the tech skills needed to land a job and stay competitive in the changing marketplace. Expanding WiFi-Connected Lift Zones and Programming Lift Zones are spaces in neighborhood community centers that provide free Internet access for students and families. In 2024, Comcast Texas will activate a number of new Lift Zones in the surrounding Houston area. There are 53 Lift Zones that serve southeast Texas students and families. In addition to new Lift Zones, additional programming will be added to locations that focus on skills and workforce development. Connectivity & Adoption Grants Connectivity programs give individuals, families and community partners the right tools and resources to take advantage of the Internet. Adoption programs teach the skills needed to increase competency and confidence in technology to use it proficiently. In 2024, Comcast Texas will provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants to fund connectivity and adoption programs. “This investment in our communities will literally change generations of southeast Texas families,” said Jose Espinel, Comcast Texas’ Regional Senior Vice President. “Everyone deserves a chance to participate in the digital economy. You can’t do that without the resources and skills to use the Internet. Our commitment will ensure that people from all backgrounds can connect to the moments that matter most.” Comcast Texas’ 2024 grant funding and other support to local organizations will be announced throughout the year. Additional support will be considered for local organizations that raise awareness about connectivity programs like Internet Essentials, a low-cost, high-speed Internet plan for qualifying households ($9.95/mo for up to 50 Mbps, or $29.95/mo for up to 100 Mbps). Internet Essentials also provides low-cost computers, free WiFi hotspots, and free internet training.

Team Behind Top Lending Protocol Launches Suilend on Sui

Sui

The Suilend lending protocol is Solend’s first venture outside of the Solana ecosystem underscoring confidence in Sui's technology Suilend, Solend’s first expansion outside the Solana ecosystem, officially launched today on the Sui Network. Solend, which boasts over $200 million in total value locked (TVL) across 170,000+ users with support for 70+ assets, now brings its unparalleled DeFi expertise and experience building industry-leading lending protocols to the Sui ecosystem in a move that adds to the quickly expanding depth of the Sui ecosystem. Discussing the launch, Rooter, the pseudonymous Founder of Solend, said, "Developing on Ethereum and Solana felt like building a cathedral with chisels and hammers. That's not to say you can't build great things — cathedrals are some of the most beautiful human achievements. But we want to build rocket ships, and for that, you need advanced tools like laser cutters and welders. That's what Sui and Move offer with better developer tools." The announcement follows hot on the heels of Bluefin, a burgeoning DEX with daily volumes exceeding $100 million, committing exclusively to Sui over Arbitrum for its V2 development and unveiling its roadmap into 2024. Security is a distinct focus for participants in the DeFi space, and with the launch of Solend on Sui, the protocol is leveraging a network in Sui that has industry-leading security. By launching on Sui, Solend capitalizes on the inherent security features integrated into the Move language, which provides built-in protections for its smart contracts. Additionally, partnerships with leading blockchain security firms, Zellic and Ottersec, entail rigorous audits of projects like Suilend, ensuring adherence to the highest security standards. Suilend will also benefit from Sui’s parallel processing for most transactions. Sui boasts the lowest levels of latency in the industry and facilitates horizontal scaling, achieving a peak throughput of up to 297,000 transactions per second and a time-to-finality of approximately 480 milliseconds. "We are delighted to welcome a protocol with the background of performance and success of Suilend to the Sui ecosystem," said Greg Siourounis, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation. "Sui's blistering transaction speeds, infinite scalability and pervasive efficiency are tailor-made for DeFi projects like Suilend, and we look forward to watching their continued growth and success on Sui." This strategic move comes as Sui recently surpassed the $500 million Total Value Locked (TVL) milestone, firmly establishing itself within the top 10 DeFi ecosystems globally. Over the past month alone, a staggering $310 million in assets has migrated from Ethereum to Sui via Wormhole, eclipsing all other blockchain transfers combined, signaling the growing trust in the ecosystem’s DeFi capabilities.

zkLink Nova Launches Mainnet, The First ZK Stack-based Aggregated Layer 3 Rollup Built on zkSync

zkLink

In an unprecedented leap forward for the blockchain industry, zkLink is proud to announce the public mainnet launch of zkLink Nova, the industry’s first Aggregated Layer 3 zkEVM rollup network based on zkSync’s ZK Stack & zkLink Nova. zkLink Nova unifies liquidity and assets from Ethereum and Layer 2 rollups onto one interoperable platform, providing developers with a zkEVM-compatible decentralized application (dApp) deployment through the ZK Stack Hyperchain. Being an Aggregated Layer 3 Rollup, zkLink Nova addresses the three major roadblocks that have restricted scaling across the Ethereum ecosystem – liquidity fragmentation across Layer 2 blockchains, complexities associated with multi-chain dApp development, and poor user experience due to the isolation of assets and applications across chains. Layer 2 Ecosystem Collaboration The cornerstone of the zkLink Nova mainnet is its comprehensive integration with leading Layer 2s, including Arbitrum, Linea, Manta, Mantle, and zkSync. zkLink Nova acts as a connective layer between the Layer 2 Rollups, enhancing liquidity and asset transfers across the Ethereum ecosystem. “By leveraging the strengths of zkSync’s ZK Stack & Linea’s ZK Proof-verification capabilities, Nova is stack agnostic and is able to connect to any ZK & OP Layer 2,” said Vince Yang, CEO and co-founder of zkLink. “This represents a major milestone for both zkLink and the wider Ethereum ecosystem as DApps will have access to broader liquidity and more users, potentially unlocking exciting new use cases for their existing L2 assets.” The integration of Layer 2s with zkLink Nova underscores a shared vision for a more unified and efficient blockchain ecosystem. zkLink Nova’s role in pioneering the Aggregated Layer 3 concept is the answer to the Layer 2’s dire need for more interconnection among ecosystems. The general purpose architecture in zkLink Nova’s Aggregated Layer 3 enables developers to easily build, deploy and scale dApps using Solidity smart contracts, saving them time and resources. Securing the Future of Blockchain with ZK Proofs Nova’s Aggregated Layer 3 environment removes bridges and gas fees from the equation, reducing security risks and improving user experience. By utilizing ZK Proofs in its architecture, every transaction on Nova undergoes verification before it is processed, giving the zkLink Nova mainnet Ethereum grade security. “The Nova Aggregated Layer 3 mainnet utilizes Linea as the primary rollup for ZK proof-verification through zkLink’s Nexus settlement layer technology. Being secure, EVM-equivalent and cost effective, Nova leverages Linea’s ZK-Rollup for faster multi-chain state synchronization and hard finality that settles on the Ethereum network,” said Linea Product Lead, Declan Fox. For DApp users, zkLink Nova removes complexity and simplifies asset transfers across Ethereum and Layer 2s while keeping transactions secure. DApp users can directly deposit their assets from Ethereum or any of the integrated Layer 2s into zkLink Nova’s unified platform to transact seamlessly or interact with its ecosystem of dApps, greatly enhancing the user experience for all. The mainnet launch of zkLink Nova is the first of its kind in solving Ethereum’s liquidity fragmentation problem while simplifying multi-chain complexities. By uniting major Ethereum Layer 2s together, zkLink Nova is taking the lead towards advancing blockchain of value, realizing a unified and interoperable rollup ecosystem with greater capital efficiency for all users. About zkLink Dedicated to unifying liquidity and scaling the Ethereum ecosystem, zkLink is pioneering Aggregated Rollup solutions to bridge the ecosystem siloes within the blockchain space. By facilitating a more interconnected, efficient, and accessible digital asset environment, zkLink is driving forward the vision of a unified and decentralized blockchain ecosystem without boundaries. About zkLink Nova zkLink Nova is the pioneering Aggregated Layer 3 Rollup zkEVM network that brings unprecedented liquidity and asset aggregation to Ethereum and its Layer 2 Rollups. Built with ZK Stack and zkLink Nexus, it leverages ZK Proofs to enhance scalability and security. Developers enjoy an open platform for deploying Solidity smart contracts and instantly tapping into integrated networks like Arbitrum and zkSync. Nova simplifies DeFi by presenting a unified ecosystem for users and DApps, promoting a seamless blockchain experience.

STORM Partners

Geneva, Switzerland, 11/3/24 – In a move set to redefine the gold mining and fintech landscapes, Classic Minerals Limited is partnering with Swiss fintech startup AuResources AG in a trailblazing $60 million blockchain-backed funding initiative. This strategic collaboration is designed to accelerate the development of Classic’s high-potential gold projects, notably the Kat Gap project in Western Australia and the expansive Forrestania Gold Project, using technology to bypass traditional commodity trade financing. The initial advancement of US$10 million from AuResources, supported by Black Manta Capital Partners, will bolster Classic’s production capabilities at Kat Gap and foster the development of the Lady Magdalene and Lady Ada deposits. This funding initiative is not only a testament to the viability and the promising future of Classic’s gold projects but also represents an exceptional opportunity for retail investors to partake in the growth of a leading mining entity.

Blind Review and PathPresenter Partner to Eliminate Expert Witness Bias in Pathology Malpractice Cases

PathPresenter

Blind Review, LLC, the secure digital platform for eliminating expert witness bias, and PathPresenter, the global image sharing platform for pathology, today announced a strategic partnership ushering digital pathology into the medical malpractice space. This alliance will revolutionize how pathology expert reviews are conducted in malpractice cases, transforming it from the old-school, glass-slide model to a cutting-edge, digital model that increases efficiency, streamlines access, and simplifies the traditional pathology review. Blind Review specializes in removing hindsight, financial, and party-identity bias from expert witnesses through a proprietary digital platform and customized process. Once onboarded to the platform, experts are digitally placed into the shoes of the treating physician. As the care-story unfolds, the expert’s opinion is captured at each critical point of care, all while shielding the identity of the attorney, client, and care outcome. Importantly, the process prevents the expert from knowing what comes next without first committing to an opinion based only on the records available at that point in the care – eliminating hindsight bias. PathPresenter is a secure and scalable multi-tenant enterprise pathology workflow platform that has been developed by pathologists with deep domain knowledge and experience. Trusted by over 45 tier-one medical institutions, PathPresenter is the most comprehensive image management/viewing suite available for clinical care, remote consultations, education, and research. Pathologists play a critical role in reviewing medical malpractice cases for disease diagnosis or when timing of an injury or cause of death is in question. PathPresenter has taken the desktop microscope and transformed it into a state-of-the-art digital viewer that pathologists can access anytime, anywhere to review microscopic evidence in a legal case. Utilizing PathPresenter’s cloud-based, clinical consultation platform, Blind Review’s proprietary process is far more efficient and eliminates the risks and limitations that come with glass slides. “Juror’s trust in experts has fallen to levels below where they were before the pandemic, and we continue to see very large, unexpected verdicts,” says Blind Review’s CEO and attorney-founder, Stephanie Franckewitz. “Independent research supports that a blinded expert doubles the chances of a favorable verdict because jurors perceive them as significantly more credible. We are proud to partner with PathPresenter, and we are in good company, as many of the world’s elite medical institutions use PathPresenter on a day-to-day basis in their pathology departments.” “PathPresenter’s partnership with Blind Review brings the practice of expert pathology review within the medical malpractice space into the 21st century,” adds Patrick Myles CEO of PathPresenter. “Whether in the courtroom or in the pathology lab, expert opinion is all about trust. By partnering with Blind Review, we’re enabling a never-before-seen way to restore jurors’ trust in experts.” About Blind Review, LLC Blind Review is the digital platform that provides the infrastructure to eliminate expert witness bias in medical malpractice cases. We deliver a strong competitive advantage to the trial teams who share our vision: Unbiased, reliable, and trustworthy expert opinions. Blind Review digitally places the expert into the shoes of the treating healthcare provider. As the care-story unfolds, the expert’s opinion is captured at each critical point of care, all while shielding the identity of the attorney, client, and care outcome. Simple and intuitive, our cloud-based interface allows robust customization, with the ability to deliver our unique Blind Review process across multiple specialties within a single case. Blind Review’s platform includes seamless integration with a secure cloud-based Radiology PACS system and Digital Pathology system, with state-of-the-art viewers.
