Today we are talking with Jan Stockhausen, chief legal architect of Etherisc, a decentralized insurance protocol with products to protect a variety of assets anywhere from crops to crypto wallets. Users of Etherisc also have the capability to request or build an insurance product of their own. Ideas of governance, insurance, financial services compliance started coming up around 2016, where we realized that this concept of programmable distributed systems was real and could be brought to life with Ethereum. In the DeFi space, there is the ability to lend, to borrow, to earn you governance tokens, utility tokens, to really be a participant in the network. I think we've now started to see the next evolution where people actually want to work in the network. They want to participate in voting or proposals or governance. These worlds combining start making a really nice hub for what will be the needs of insurance. All these people, the insured, insurance companies, and regulators, need to trust each other. Insurance is very centralized, very highly regulated and therefore also fairly slow industry and slow moving. If you take blockchain technology and the trustless network it offers, you see the possibilities. You can put all these actors together, rather than having a centralized insurance entity in the middle. With the help of the regulation that provides the certainty that everyone will get what they signed up for and the blockchain can solve the problem in a decentralized and a much more efficient way. We are at the stage where there are many applications that are crypto native, and a lot of the financial instruments that are emerging in the DeFi space. We're also working on insurance for crypto wallets, for example. It's fair to say we're spearheading this breakthrough of blockchain technology into the real world, into where blockchain technology is used to solve real problems of real people in the real world. We have the opportunity to show that this is possible and that blockchain is here to stay. In Sub-Sahra Africa, only about 3% are insured. It’s hard to be profitable in these regions with traditional finance. Blockchain can help, especially with regulation issues. Technology is the way to unlock insurance for the uninsured. Innovation will be the key. Blockchain offers faster and fewer fees than traditional methods.

×Today’s guest on the Fortune Teller Podcast is Jay Fraser, Head of Strategy for BSTX. The goal of BSTX, a regulated exchange, is to make a way for a public exchange that is less tangled and with less resistance. BSTX is powered by tZERO technology and is jointly owned by BOX Digital Markets and tZERO. At the moment, the way to take a company public is complex and the benefits for small businesses does not always surpass the expenses that are involved with taking the business public. While the technological advancements have brought a lot of progression, it has overlooked the chance to improve on the process. Current technology companies are still following the procedures to go public in a near congruent method that the old rail and industrial companies have used for decades, which is a complicated and ineffective process. BSTX will use blockchain for making an easy exchange with price discovery to potentially encourage more firms to go public, allowing them to reach new investors. In return, investors profit in gaining admittance to previously closely held assets. A regulated exchange, like BSTX, allows for the future to better the current incumbent options and permit the offering of price discovery, corporate governance and investor protection, and a simpler path to an IPO. A securities exchange is open to all individuals and not limited to merely accredited and institutional investors. This provides issuers exposure to a larger number and a more diverse amount of investors. BSTX will operate as a facility of BOX Exchange LLC, a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities Exchange Commission. BSTX shall be a fully automated, price/time priority execution system for the trading of select equity securities, such as exchange traded products (“ETPs”). The current system for companies to take their firms public, like via IPO (Initial Public Offering) is way too complicated to navigate and often too expensive for the average small to medium business owner to use. The entire process does not lend itself to smaller firms seeking investors. BSTX will make a way for them to publicly list their shares that is less complicate and with less resistance. Securities traded on BSTX will usually be obligatory in being registered with the SEC under both Section 12 of the Exchange Act and Section 6 of the Securities Act of 1933. To become a BSTX Participant, the applicant will complete a BSTX Participant Application to be approved by BOX Exchange. Upon approval, the participant will start the onboarding process with the technical team.

Today’s guest on the Fortune Teller Podcast is Emre Tekisalp, CEO of O(1) Labs. O(1) Labs current projects are Mina, the world’s lightest blockchain, that is powered by participants, and snarky, an Ocaml front-end for writing R1CS Snarks. Snarky is modular over the backend SNARK library, and comes with backends from libsnark. Mina is the world’s lightest blockchain, at 22kb, letting users quickly and directly access the current state on their smartphone and other blockchains, powered by the users. Mina uses zero knowledge technology, to make for a secure and democratic future we all deserve. One can build on Mina with zkApps, smart contracts made possible by zero knowledge. The SDK is based on Typescript. Users today are compelled to provide their data to centralized entities in order to participate in the modern world. Even in the decentralized side of crypto, there are growing efforts to compel users to give up their data to be able to engage in the crypto space. Mina differs from these centralized crypto businesses with zkApps, smart contracts powered by zero knowledge, to help keep the users in control of their privacy by confirming and sharing proofs of their data, rather than the data itself. You provide proof of your data, as opposed to the data itself. This helps to reduce the chances for your personal information to be hacked or sold. This allows you to be the only owner of your data. With Mina’s light size and off-chain nature of zkapp smart contract computations, Mina’s proof system can be easy to use on other chains. Currently, a bridge is being established between Mina and Ethereum, with the progress that is made here to go towards building trustless bridges on other chains as well. This will help dapps on other chains to make use of the privacy-preserving data verification, as well as the prompt proofs of huge computations and covert login features of Mina’s zkApps. Mina’s zkApps can securely connect with any website and access verified actual data for use on-chain. This allows developers to leverage data on the internet and then bring it on-chain. All of this is done without ever risking the privacy of their users. Many blockchains have become so heavy, that intermediaries are needed to run nodes, which breaks from the primary decentralization promise of blockchain, thus leaving these networks to be more susceptible to a 51% attack. Since Mina’s 22kb blockchain is so light, this means that anyone has the opportunity to easily connect peer-to-peer and formalize transactions like a full node, guaranteeing powerful censorship-resistance and security for the blockchain.

Today’s guest on the Fortune Teller Podcast is Ryan Sheftel, CEO of Radkl. Radkl is a new quantitative trading firm bringing institutional-grade experience from Wall Street to the crypto markets by applying quantitative models to digital assets across blockchains. These quantitative methods include sophisticated, high-speed, computerized trading models for the purposes to invest in cryptocurrencies, digital assets, and the “decentralized finance” sectors. With Radkl, one will be able to use electronic market-making on crypto exchanges, with citing prices for an asset during the course of the day and profiting off of the spread between the prices at which the crypto currencies buys and sells. In addition, Radkl aims to be able to execute bilateral trades of digital assets with other companies, such as crypto hedge funds. Radkl is a company that will begin to start proprietary trading in digital assets, from bitcoin to the fast-growing decentralized finance market. In addition, the firm could make trades that keep prices of the ETFs in line with the crypto currency. Radkl is focusing in on building a team of engineers, data scientists and other world-class technologists to accomplish these, and other goals. One of the largest investors into Radkl is Steven Cohen, the billionaire hedge fund manager of Point 72 Asset Management. Radkl is being launched by partners of GTS, a company that trades as much as a billion shares of U.S. stocks a day. It should be noted that Steven Cohen will not be involved in the day-to-day operations of Radkl. It is the support of investors like Cohen, and the involvement of large institutions that have helped to propel the market for crypto to reach new heights, and it is with Radkl that they will be able to reach their goals. Radkl’s goals include the pioneering and implementing of radical alterations in financial technology as will yield unequaled ratios in the global markets and their respective economies. As cryptocurrencies as a market has reached a $2 trillion asset class, the market is still in the very early stages of institutional adoption. When additional professional investors enter the crypto market, the need arises for an institutional player like Radkl to engage in more digital asset transactions. There is no other firm with the proven finance and technology expertise of Radkl in the crypto space at this point. Radkl has both the capabilities and the passion to be a fundamental player in the evolution of both Centralized Finance and Decentralized Finance.

Today’s guest on the Fortune Teller Podcast is Ivan Ravlich, Co-Founder and CEO of Hypernet Labs. Hypernet Labs is a cyber infrastructure business creating advanced solutions for both digital commerce, and value transfer. By revolutionizing computer fabric, digital payments, and identities, Hypernet will make increased access to Web 3.0 to both new and experienced users. For corporate customers, you can have identity and compliance requirements via Hypernet’s Web 3, blockchain-based resolution for decentralized applications (dApps), NFTs, and a multitude of business dealing with today’s complex regulatory demands. Hypernet.ID creates a frictionless and auditable instrumentation for certifying and identifying customers on-chain. Hypernet.ID handles all of the required Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering demands with multiple facets. For customer identification: Government issued identity document verification and authentication Facial recognition and matching to the identity document presented by the users Address extraction IP address recognition Regarding Customer Due Diligence: Sanction checks Politically exposed persons checks Adverse media and social media scans And for Ongoing Monitoring: Daily customer screening The Hypernet.ID NFT is burned if a user no longer passes checks Hypernet.ID substantiates government issued IDs in more than 230 nations and uses biometric-based identity confirmations and liveness checks to match the individual to the ID. Once the individual is identified, the potential user is screened in real-time against thousands of global sanctions lists. Once the checks are complete, an on-chain, non-transferrable NFT is minted to their crypto wallet. Hypernet.ID is GDPR and CCPA compliant. Hypernet mints everyone’s Hypernet.ID NFT directly to their wallet on the blockchain. The NFT can then be used instantly by the smart contracts of your dApp or website. Integration efforts for your customer verification are now made easier. Include your tailored Hypernet.ID link in your dApp or website. Users are then directed to Hypernet.ID’s identity confirmation and AML checks. Upon completion, they will be redirected back to your app or site. With new users, this takes minutes to complete. For users who are returning, this takes seconds to execute. For developers, the smart contracts of your dApp access the publicly available, non-transferrable NFT of the user and interact with their account, serving to guarantee that any transfer of value obeys the applicable regulations. Customer’s identities that are submitted are used by Jumio to verify their identity. Details are checked and – if verified – only the company requesting the verification will receive their ID information. The user can burn their NFT at anytime.

Today’s guest on the Fortune Teller podcast is Josh Rogers, CEO of Minterest. Minterest aims to offer the highest long term yield in DeFi. The Minterest lending protocol passes on all surplus created directly to its users, providing their best interest. By running its own on-chain settlement and buyback mechanisms, the Minterest protocol automatically disperses the worth it acquires from interest rate, flash loan and liquidation fees to the community. It does this via MNT tokens that it buys on-market, ensuring your highest long-term yields. To ensure users can trust Minterest, Minterest’s auditing procedures are relentless, made to push the qualifications of asset security and secure long-term yields, ensuring your best interest. The asset security is overseen by an array of best-of-class auditors. All of Minterest is designed to make certain that your yield is protected for the long term. Real transparency is because Minterst is not only rigorously audited and backed by the most robust code in the world, its functional clarity gives you total peace of mind. A user-centric layout provides a personal portfolio, along with risk analysis tools, assisting the user to make sophisticated risk and reward decisions with assurance. As users investigate DeFi lending, there's a huge level of opacity when it comes to liquidations. Lenders and borrowers are not provided with sufficient and elaborate data to truly understand their risk profile. At best, one is supposed to know what can be extremely important and oftentimes complicated lending portfolios, with a simple traffic light risk analysis system. These people are supposed to use green, orange and red markers to measure their risk profile, without actually and fully understanding what the colour codes mean. The layperson can see that this is not running in people's highest needs. If one views DeFi lenders through a hypercritical lens, it’s simple to determine that the ones benefiting the most are not the users, but a small group who are profiting from opportunist liquidation methods. Current DeFi options have huge tensions between properly serving their users and ensuring protocol solvency. Solvency means always having enough liquidators circling to start liquidation events, especially during periods of high price fluxes. In turn, these platforms must make sure liquidation fees are profitable enough for liquidators, as well as assuring that liquidation events consistently occur to ensure there will be a steady flow of liquidations. The Minterest protocol manages liquidation functions automatically. The key advantage, beyond Minterest capturing all liquidation fee value, is that Minterest doesn’t need liquidators constantly circling it. Minterest can then authentically answer to its users and truly look after their interests without compromising solvency.

For tax and business reporting, Lukka offers tailored business data reporting powered by Lukka’s robust processing and reporting engine. Lukka can also create custom solutions, with leading crypto data experts to help provide a custom-tailored solution for your business needs. The Problem When Trident Trust, a global leader in the fund administration space, first entered crypto in 2017, they had to acquire clients’ crypto transactional data via methods that were cumbersome and unsustainable (i.e., manual input, files, screenshots, etc.). Trident used spreadsheets to apply price and derive the trading activity value. Trident to manually transform the data into a format that was easy to understand by traditional fund accounting systems. The Solution In 2018 Trident became Lukka’s first fund administration customer. Lukka provided Trident with support for fund data collection, account balance calculations, and valuation for crypto-fiat spot trades.

Today’s guest on Fortune Teller is Jacobo Toll-Messia, CEO of Nahmii. Nahmii is an Ethereum interoperable layer 2 scaling solution. Nahmii offers instant finality, predictable fees, and as well as commercial readiness. Nahmii believes Ethereum will be the foundation for Web3. However, while Ethereum does have many strengths, it does have some major challenges. These include: Low throughput High, unpredictable fees Latency Delayed finality In order to address these challenges, Nahmii will implement Ethereum’s security under a high-speed, low-cost execution layer. Nahmii scales any decentralized application to a global level. Nahmii makes DeFi projects, fintech solutions, industrial IoT integrations, supply chain management, oracle solutions, NFT platforms, and more production-ready. Rate of traditional databases, more than any other existing layer 2 solution, via the use of horizontal scaling. By using state pool technology, Nahmii eliminates the time between providing a transaction and network’s first confirmation. In removing the need to commit to a base layer for finality, Nahmii’s state-channel architecture allows for instant finality. Fees are always known before the transaction. It is well-known that fees on Ethereum discourages both users and developers. Nahmii’s low transaction fees allow users and developers to explore dApps, without prohibitive costs. Nahmii’s greatest creation is a technological breakthrough called “state pools.” State pools bring the instant finality of state channels, along with the pooled security of side chains and rollups. In combining both of these, Nahmii has instant transactions that are also secure. Nahmii 2.0 uses generalized smart contracts on the network, opening up the opportunities for almost infinite dApp innovation. Nahmii offers security from bad actors at all levels, securing transactions and user funds from beginning to end on Ethereum. In order to be certain that users can properly challenge fraud, Nahmii had to solve the “data availability problem.” To do so, we created a decentralized oracle in where the smart contract can verify that data is available. Nahmii permits developers to create their application layer on top of Ethereum, using familiar tools. The Nahmii virtual machine makes the work done by others, enabling compatibility with Ethereum smart contracts. For developers that have worked with Ethereum, they can use what they already know to start building. For new developers, learning resources are plentiful. Nahmii provides for users to earn yield, while at the same time, strengthening Nahmii, and in enabling the next generation of the Web. Two projects using Nahmii are NiiFi, a decentralized crypto exchange, and Fjord Maritime, a technical supplier to the aquaculture market.

Today on Fortune Teller Podcast we are talking with Sergey Gorbunov, Co-Founder of Axelar Network. The Axelar Network brings Decentralized Interoperability to Ethereum, Cosmos Avalanche, Terra, Moonbeam and others, by unlocking cross-chain communications. Blockchain platform builders can plug-in their blockchain ecosystem to all other blockchain ecosystems. Dapp builders can host their dapps anywhere, as well as lock, unlock, and transfer assets, and speak with dapps on other chains via Axelar API. Users are able to interact with all applications across each blockchain’s ecosystem right from their wallet. Axelar is empowered by a decentralized and open network of validators. Any user can join, use it, and partake in the Axelar protocol. Byzantine consensus, cryptography, and incentives are used to ensure high-safety and liveness needs for cross-chain requests. The network is a universal platform to connects all blockchains via a decentralized network and an SDK of protocols and APIs. With the network and SDK, developers can effectively make new connections and implement their dapps with all blockchain ecosystems. This creates greater access to users, assets, liquidity, and many other applications. Axelar differs from similar projects in that current projects work on interoperability within their own ecosystems. They generally lack methods to connect external blockchains based off of different consensus rules and software stacks. The need to provide interoperability in the wider crypto ecosystem has been met with unproven centralized point-to-point bridging options created in the market. Axelar gives a complete solution to cross-chain interactions that is made to be interoperable with any chain. This allows for plug-and-play connectivity with little work to integrate new chains, and is made to be decentralized. Axelar features cross-chain routing and application-level transfer protocols. This lets builders access all interconnected chains via the Axelar network. This results in allowing developers to build on the best platforms that suit their needs and use global liquidity and composability. Due to being decentralized, it is open for anyone to participate in. Being universal in connecting, it is possible to scale across arbitrary Layer 1, Layer 2, Proof of Work (PoW) or Proof of Stake (PoS) chains. Retail users will be able to take advantage of cross-chain asset transfer workflows directly within the apps that they already use. The Axelar Network has already been audited by NCC, Cure53, and Oak Security. Axelar continues to perform audits of other components and functionalities, stress-testing, and pen-testing of its network throughout development. In January 2022, the Public Mainnet roll out begins, after initial interrogations with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the support of arbitrary EVM chains have happened.

Today on the Fortune Teller Podcast, we are talking with Rafaella Baraldo, Co-Founder of Pods Finance. Pods Finance provides users the opportunity to hedge their BTC, ETH, and other cryptos to protect portfolios from volatility. Pods Finance is a simple way to hedge crypto assets on the Ethereum Network. The Pods Protocol is a decentralized non-custodial Options Protocol, allowing for traders to buy, sell and provide liquidity using our new Options AMM. Buyers begin by choosing a put option. The buyer can then take action during the 24-hour exercise window. During this time, the buyer exercises their right to sell, or the option expires. Sellers locks stable assets as collateral. They then mint the equivalent put options. Sellers can then sell options for a premium, priced by the AMM. As with buyers, there is a 24-hour exercise window. Sellers may withdraw collateral if the exercise window has passed, or get the underlying asset if the option is exercised. Pods' design uses DeFi's composability and makes it simple for other DeFi projects to implement the Pods Protocol. Pods are made for DeFi options, by unlocking a unique experience of earning while using the liquidity provision feature in an options pool. There are many special ways to interact with the protocol. Users can sell, buy, provide liquidity for both puts and calls, and determine which suits their needs. Pods are incorporated in a grouping of non-upgradable smart contracts on EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible blockchains. Binance Smart Chain or the Polygon Network are examples of EVMs. Traders hold portfolios of volatile assets, cryptos, and need to hedge their risk to assure that they can keep their funds even in worst case scenarios. Using options orders in decentralized order books is costly, and the existing options are not liquid enough to cope with the gas cost on Ethereum. Having options tokens as liquidity in Uniswap may equate to severe impermanent loss as it can only show the price based on a small number of inputs. Additionally, users may be unable to find reasonable market prices for buying or selling options in Uniswap. Pods Protocol’s Options Instrument and Options AMM addresses these problems uniquely. The Options Protocol implementation needs the options to be fully collateralized, allowing options sellers and liquidity providers hedges at all times. Pods implementation uses an external price oracle to update the spot price of the underlying cryptos, along with an internal oracle to support the Weighted Average Implied Volatility. The AMM pools are made and end within the option's lifetime, which is 24-hours. After an option enters the exercise window, trading stops, and users can only remove funds from the pool and exercise the options, as applies.

Today on the Fortune Teller Podcast, we are talking with Corey Petty, Chief Security Officer of Status. Status is a protected messaging app, crypto wallet, and Web3 browser created with top of the line technology. All of this is incorporated into a strong app for private and protected communications. The status app incorporates an open-source, peer-to-peer protocol, as well as end-to-end encryption to secure your messages from third parties. The users control their messages, and can send 1:1 private chats, private group chats, and join or create public channels to connect with their communities. Seamlessly incorporated with the crypto wallet, Status lets anyone, anywhere, send global payments directly in a chat. Users even have the options to send expressive stickers without a middle man. In addition, users can create their own packs and earn SNT in the decentralized sticker marketplace. Some of the benefits of using Status include: No phone number, email address, or bank account required when creating your free Status Account. Removal of centralized choke points protects your messages from censoring third parties. Status is both free (libre) open source software that can be reviewed by anyone, and free (no cost) to install. By using a peer-to-peer network, not centralized servers for the exchanging of messages, communications are yours and yours alone. Status offers increased privacy with end-to-end encryption (e2ee) on all users private messages automatically. Only the user and their intended recipient can view the messages – not even Status. Status implements an adapted version of the double ratchet algorithm for perfect forward secrecy. Protect your past and future messages even in the event of your current encryption keys becoming compromised. Status implements Waku to give privacy-preserving routing and messaging on top of devP2P. Waku uses topics to structure users messages, and these are rendered for all chat capabilities. As anyone can receive Waku envelopes, it relies on the capability to decrypt messages to determine the correct recipient. This is in order to provide routing, metadata protection, topic-based multicasting and basic encryption properties to support asynchronous chat. Other popular messaging apps--including Signal and Telegram—have clients talk to servers which are generally trusted, available and aware of how to route messages to other clients. Status messenger, however, uses decentralized P2P networks which don’t have servers and clients. Decentralized P2P messaging aims to remove centralized intermediaries, removing of single points of failure and increased resistance to censorship. Messages hop across multiple peers and proceed to hop even after reaching their recipient because peers do not know who the intended recipient is.
