BTTC Acclaimed by Cointelegraph and CryptoRank for Ecosystem Innovation

BitTorrent Chain

Singapore - August 16, 2024 - Recent reports from both Cointelegraph and CryptoRank have shed light on BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) and its integral role within the BitTorrent ecosystem. These analyses highlight BTTC's innovations, its pivotal contributions to various BitTorrent products, and its evolving position in the broader blockchain landscape. BTTC stands as a cornerstone of the BitTorrent ecosystem, supporting the original BitTorrent torrent tracker, the Bittorrent Filesystem (BTFS), and the DLive streaming platform. Its role extends beyond mere infrastructure; it operates as a cross-chain multi-layer protocol that ensures seamless asset interoperability across Ethereum, TRON, and BNB Chain. This capability distinguishes BTTC from traditional single-chain solutions, offering a scalable, high-throughput platform that addresses critical challenges in blockchain scalability and integration. The recent Cointelegraph report titled “BitTorrent Chain's Bridging Breakthroughs in H1 2024: Unlocking Tron's Potential” underscores BTTC's architectural prowess, featuring a multi-chain proof-of-stake (PoS) model and EVM-compatible side-chains derived from Tendermint software. This setup enables BTTC to achieve high throughput, low block times, and minimal transaction costs. The platform's sophisticated bridging mechanism, which includes a classic lock-and-mint model, facilitates asset transfers across TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain, with support for over 75 token mappings. Additionally, relayer services enhance the user experience by providing faster withdrawals and reducing transaction fees. CryptoRank's report named “State of BitTorrent Chain H1 2024” complements this by detailing the extensive utility of the $BTT token. Beyond its use for gas fees, $BTT facilitates faster file distribution, rewards validators, supports BTFS storage payments, and serves various functions within the BitTorrent ecosystem, including as collateral on JustLend DAO and a perpetual asset on SUN.io. It even holds legal tender status in Dominica. Despite the shifting dynamics with the rise of cloud storage and streaming services, BitTorrent remains a significant player with over 170 million active users and substantial annual revenue. The first half of 2024 has been marked by several milestones for BTTC. According to CryptoRank, these include listings on major exchanges like Bitfinex, Mercado Bitcoin, and Bitci Borsa, an official partnership with HTX DAO, and integration with DEXTools. These achievements reflect BTTC's ongoing evolution and its capacity to adapt to emerging trends, such as decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) and potential Bitcoin integrations. Both reports highlight BTTC's strategic importance in enhancing blockchain interoperability and scaling solutions. The platform not only facilitates seamless transfers of mainstream assets across multiple blockchains but also serves as a robust foundation for Web3 applications. As BTTC continues to expand its ecosystem and integrate with new blockchain technologies, it is poised to play a critical role in shaping the future of blockchain scalability and cross-chain interactions. About BitTorrent Chain BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) is the world’s first heterogeneous cross-chain interoperability protocol, which adopts the PoS (Proof-of-Stake) mechanism and leverages sidechains for the scaling of smart contracts. It now enables interoperability with the public chains of Ethereum, TRON, and BNB Chain. Fully compatible with EVM, BitTorrent Chain facilitates the seamless transfer of assets across mainstream public chains. The governance token BTT, also known as BTTOLD on TRON Protocol was granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the Commonwealth of Dominica on October 7th 2022.

Communication Service for the Deaf, Inc. Receives $250,000 Engagement Award from PCORI

Communication Service for the Deaf

Communication Service for the Deaf, Inc. (CSD) has been awarded $250,000 through the Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award Program, an initiative of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). The funding will support a two-year project titled "Building Capacity for Deaf American Sign Language Users in Virtual Healthcare PCOR/CER," running from November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2026. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly accelerated the adoption of telemedicine in healthcare yet little is known about best practices for the Deaf community. Deaf individuals who use American Sign Language (ASL) face communication and health literacy challenges, making virtual healthcare services potentially inaccessible and inequitable. CSD’s health and patient advocacy division, DeafHealth, will recruit a diverse group of stakeholders to form a national Deaf Patient Coalition. This coalition will identify and capture diverse Deaf patient experiences with virtual healthcare platforms to help shape future patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) and comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) focused on healthcare virtual platforms for the Deaf community. By collaborating with academic institutions, researchers, and patient communities, this groundbreaking project aims to advance equitable care and decision-making among Deaf patients that aligns with patient-centric outcomes and preferences. The project will be directed by project lead Allysa Dittmar, MHS, Vice President of DeafHealth. Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), under the leadership of Dr. Tiffany Panko, executive director of the Deaf Health Care & Biomedical Science Hub and director of the Deaf Health Laboratory at RIT’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf will support the project. “Deaf people comprise approximately 13% or 30 million of the American population, yet they are often overlooked in research. We are grateful to PCORI for this opportunity to promote equitable participation and engagement for both Deaf patients and researchers alike," said Dittmar. "The lack of opportunities for our community has hindered the ability to identify effective interventions to improve the health and wellbeing of Deaf people who use ASL. As healthcare increasingly shifts to virtual platforms for care and treatment, it is crucial to include the Deaf population, researchers, and stakeholders to ensure that future PCOR/CER research is patient-centered and equitable.” By incorporating diverse lived Deaf patient experiences, this project empowers this historically marginalized community with the resources and PCOR/CER knowledge necessary to drive community-centered change for improved health outcomes, aligning with PCORI’s mission to empower patients and others. In the long term, the project provides an opportunity to propose future PCOR/CER studies that align with the community’s identified priorities regarding virtual healthcare platforms for the Deaf community. PCORI is an independent, nonprofit organization authorized by Congress with a mission to fund patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research that provides patients, their caregivers, and clinicians with the evidence-based information they need to make better informed health and healthcare decisions. For more information on the PCORI Engagement Award and CSD's funded project, visit here. Projects approved for funding by PCORI’s Engagement Award Program were selected through a rigorous and highly competitive review process, assessing their ability to meet PCORI's engagement goals and objectives, as well as program criteria. About Communication Service for the Deaf, Inc. Communication Service for the Deaf (CSD) is the largest Deaf-led social impact organization in the world. For more than four decades, CSD has been a leader in creating and providing accessible and innovative solutions for the Deaf community. Through CSD's patient and health advocacy division, DeafHealth focuses on improving health outcomes for deaf and hard-of-hearing patients through state-wide initiatives by providing culturally and linguistically accessible health information, resources, and services.

Global Markets News Network

Actelis Networks (NASDAQ: ASNS) recently announced its Q2 2024 results, marking a significant achievement with a positive EBITDA, a first for the company since 2022. This milestone, coupled with robust revenue growth and a reduction in operating expenses, reflects Actelis’ strong execution and strategic focus on growth within the IoT and cybersecurity sectors. The company reported a remarkable 372% sequential revenue growth from Q1 2024, bringing in $3.43 million in Q2 2024. This represents an 81% year-over-year increase, highlighting the growing demand for Actelis’ innovative solutions. The company’s gross margin saw a significant improvement, soaring to 57% in Q2 2024, up from 30% in the prior quarter. This increase in profitability was driven by strong revenue growth and effective cost management. Actelis has also successfully reduced operating expenses by 20% in Q2 2024 compared to the previous year, highlighting the effectiveness of its ongoing cost reduction initiatives. The company reported a net loss of just $78,000 in Q2 2024, a substantial improvement from the $1.59 million net loss in Q2 2023. Additionally, Actelis achieved positive Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $11,000 in the quarter, marking its first positive quarter since 2022. The company's strong financial performance is complemented by its recent business achievements. Actelis has secured and delivered a $2.3 million order from Washington D.C.’s Department of Transportation, further establishing its position in the intelligent transportation space. The company has also successfully deployed its hybrid-fiber, cyber-hardened solution in Bakersfield, CA, demonstrating its technology's ability to enhance urban infrastructure and security. Moreover, Actelis' newly launched GigaLine 800 and GigaLine 900 Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) solutions are generating significant market interest, with a growing list of customer trials underway. A first order for the GigaLine 800 worth $160,000 from a contractor to a major military carrier was received, marking a major milestone in executing on the new products’ potential. In addition to these business wins, Actelis has strengthened its liquidity position by raising nearly $5 million in June 2024. As of June 30, 2024, shareholders’ equity stood at $1.06 million, and on a pro forma basis, including this fundraise, shareholders' equity was $3.0 million—above Nasdaq's continued listing requirement of $2.5 million. “We are extremely proud of our progress in the second quarter of 2024,” said Tuvia Barlev, Chairman and CEO of Actelis. “Our team's relentless efforts have translated into significant customer successes and the successful execution for key customers. We are delivering on the commitments we made to drive growth and innovation, and the results speak to the impact of our strategic initiatives.” As Actelis continues to build on this momentum, the company remains focused on scaling these successes, expanding its SaaS offerings through strategic partnerships, and continuing to reduce operational costs while maintaining high margins. The significant order from Washington D.C.’s Department of Transportation and the successful deployments in cities like Bakersfield demonstrate not only the strength of Actelis' technology but also the trust that major urban centers place in the company to modernize and secure their infrastructure. Looking ahead, Actelis could be well-positioned to capitalize on the expanding IoT market, particularly in sectors like intelligent transportation and critical infrastructure. With its strong financial performance, recent business achievements, and ongoing strategic initiatives, Actelis eyes significant growth potential. ### This article is for informational purposes only and is not intended to serve as financial, investment or any form of professional advice, reccomendation or endorsement.
