Dubai to Launch State-Issued Stablecoin, Partners with Pundi X for Distributing PoS Terminals
Dubai’s credit agency announced an official partnership with cryptocurrency-payments provider Pundi X on Oct. 8, according to an official release.
Pundi X Brings State-Backed Crypto to the Masses
In a step towards the widespread adoption of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency as an accepted means-of-payment, Dubai’s Emcredit bureau and regional distributor Ebooc, a loyalty programs startup, will partner with Singapore-based Point-of-Sales terminal maker Pundi X labs. The move is aimed primarily at the broader public sector in the Gulf state, which comprises locals, regional immigrants, and international expats.
Emcredit is a government-owned subsidiary that handles all credit ratings and issuances in the country. Pundi X notes the agency will provide its PoS terminals to “hundreds of storefronts” across the Emirate of Dubai for allowing bills to be paid.
Payments will be processed by Emcash, a cryptocurrency launched by Emcredit and operated by Dubai’s Department of Economic Development, on a device specially made for the cause by Pundi X labs. As stated in the release, the yet-to-be-unveiled PoS device is authorized for use only by Ebooc and containing the branding of emCredit.
A digital stablecoin-equivalent of the UAE dirham (AED) will be available on the device, and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin, or even Pundi X’s native PXS token are unavailable for making purchases for now. However, this may soon change if Dubai introduces crypto-regulations in the near future.
The announcement confirms Dubai’s push for creating prominence in the cryptocurrency markets, which is led by the likes of Singapore, Malta, and Hong Kong currently. The Emirate aims to break free from an oil- and tourism-dependent economy to a global blockchain innovation center and authority.
A spokesperson for credit spokesperson stated the move was carried out in consultation with UAE Prime Minister and Vice President Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He added:
“To be the world’s first city to offer blockchain-based payment solutions to our residents is an exciting moment for Dubai. It confirms Dubai’s status as an international tech hub.”
Approvals Remain Pending
A rollout of Pundi X’s PoS device is expected to follow the announcement within the week, with provisions for more devices to be introduced to other cities like Abu Dhabi if results are favorable.
The CEO and co-founder of Pundi X, Zac Cheah, noted bringing blockchain-based payments technology in partnership with a government body was a “major development” for the sector. He added the development was “historic” as it puts forth a “real-world application” of a promising technology.
Meanwhile, further details have yet-to-be-made public and would follow after meticulous testings and approvals are granted by Dubai’s government regulators before the start of 2019.

Venture Capital Investment in Blockchain Up Nearly 300 Percent in 2018
According to a recently published Diar report, venture capital investments in crypto and blockchain companies have nearly tripled in the first three quarters of 2018 from that of 2017.
Diar references data from Pitchbook that reveals that blockchain and crypto-related companies have raised approximately $3.9 billion in venture capital this year. This figure represents a 280 percent increase compared to the amount of venture raised in 2017.
There are nearly 2,000 investors who have invested in at least one blockchain company, with Digital Currency Group as the most active.
The most involved traditional venture capital firms in the crypto space are Andreessen Horowitz, Danhua Capital, and Future Perfect Ventures. The most enthusiastic angels in the space are Tim Draper, Naval Ravikant, Barry Silbert, and Roger Ver.
The 50 most active backers have contributed to at least eight blockchain companies while those not exclusively focused on blockchain companies made approximately 52 percent of investments.
Not only has funding increased, but the number of deals this year has doubled. Median deal size of crypto and blockchain ventures has increased by more than $1 million this year.
Who is getting funded?
Of the top ten largest blockchain and crypto deals this year, nine out of ten deals have featured traditional equity investment, while Dfinity was the only one that presented a native utility token. Bitmain, the Bitcoin mining goliath, had the largest round in 2018 at $400 million led by Sequoia Capital. Basis, R3, Circle, Seba Crypto, Ledger, Paxos, Uphold, and Figure were also among the largest 2018 venture capital deals.
Where is the funding coming from?
The United States made up the largest portion of venture capital action in blockchain and crypto companies with 79 percent of the activity. China (12 percent), South Korea (2 percent) and Singapore (2 percent) comprise the remainder.

How Eatonomy is bringing Loyalty Rewards Programs into the 21st century
Who DOESN’T love getting rewarded?!
Now imagine being able to redeem rewards points you earned from buying morning coffee at your favorite Café, to get a burger from the Burger Shack at lunch, and then maybe sending them to a friend so she can redeem them for a smoothie at the juice bar! Or perhaps collecting your rewards points and then donating them to your favorite charitable cause, all at the click of a button!
That’s how we imagine the future of loyalty rewards points. Streamlined, efficient, and fluid — without any of the restrictions that come with traditional loyalty programs.
Here at Eatonomy, we strongly believe that loyalty programs should be affordable, insightful, engaging, fun, and definitely not restrictive. And that’s why we are creating a platform that allows brands and retailers to easily build inter-operable, intelligent, and engaging loyalty programs that cater to modern shoppers. Eatonomy’s loyalty ecosystem of brands and retailers is designed to bridge the gap that exists between traditionally inefficient and costly loyalty programs, and the high expectations of shoppers today. Brands and Retailers need inexpensive and insightful solutions to retain and attract customers, while customers want control over their own points. Eatonomy meets both needs by consolidating multiple broken programs into a blockchain-based, streamlined rewards ecosystem that is rewarding for both the loyalty providers, as well as customers — through the TREAT (TRE) token, powered by the robust Stellar Blockchain Protocol.

EtainPower CEO Steven Dong speaks at annual SVIEF Conference
EtainPower was thrilled to participate in the 2018 Silicon Valley Innovation & Entrepreneurship Forum (SVIEF) conference this weekend. This year’s event brought together more than 10,000 attendees on September 29–30 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Themed “Converge and Exchange,” the conference was an ideal opportunity for us to develop business partnership connections with both US and Asia-Pacific companies.
The conference featured ten tracks including the Global Blockchain Summit, which focused on applications of blockchain technology to solve real world problems beyond the cryptocurrency space. EtainPower’s founder and CEO Steven Dong was invited to join a panel discussion on IoT, AI and Blockchain along with fellow founders, Allan Zhang of DxChain and QuarkChain’s Qi Zhou.
We are always eager to exchange ideas with other industry leaders. This panel was an in-depth discussion on how IoT, AI and blockchain, each disruptive technologies on their own, create a powerful combination. Steven compares them to the organic systems of the human body. If AI is like the reasoning and decisioning part of the human brain, IoT is the nervous system, sensing and connecting devices in a unified network. Blockchain, he argues, plays the essential role of memory — it creates a secure and indelible record of transactions.
EtainPower is making use of all three technologies in our peer-to-peer renewable energy trading platform. First, an IoT enabled power grid will monitor energy production from renewable energy systems and usage by end consumers. Smart grid technology uses AI to balance the load on the distribution system, smoothing out power surges and dips that are common with renewable energy sources like wind or hydro power. Finally, all energy transactions are recorded on the blockchain for a consistent and accurate ledger of purchases.
P2P trading enabled by blockchain has the power to accelerate the global development and adoption of renewable energy. Our platform allows investors all over the world to contribute to renewable energy projects, which often have a hard time securing funding for their upfront costs. The trading platform is tokenized, allowing anyone to contribute and earn credits toward their own power purchasing needs. By bringing transparency to energy generation and distribution, we will create accountability within the industry and build consumer trust.
These practical solutions to real-world pain points are key for projects launching in this investment climate. According to blockchain researcher Diar, the number of successful ICOs is nearing a one-year low. Many consumer facing blockchain projects have struggled, but in the B2B space, applications of the technology are still garnering attention.
“In the bear market, it’s a good opportunity for projects like EtainPower, which has real applications and revenue supporting its ecosystem,” says Steven. “Only projects who can connect blockchain technology with the real society will survive from the crypto winter.”
While EtainPower’s ecosystem is built for P2P funding options, it has raised primarily from institutional investors, including Gobi VC, Gorun Energy, Blue Rising Capital, Shuyin Capital, Sell Capital, ARCHina Capital Partners and DeepBrain Chain Foundation. Industry-wide, traditional VCs have filled the gap left by declining ICO success this year. PitchBook reports that in just three quarters of 2018, VC investment on blockchain projects is already 280% ahead of the whole of 2017. Conferences like SVIEF give us the chance to talk to industry experts and prominent investors like Tim Draper.

The Cryptocurrency Tradeoff: How Decentralization, Privacy, and Throughput are Crypto’s Major Pain Points
Ten years after the launch of Bitcoin in 2008, the world is yet to witness the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies as an accepted form of payment – even in concentrated geographics.
The Decentralization Irony
Diving into the cryptocurrency market a bit deeper displays shortcomings beyond those mentioned above; which include usability issues, compliance roadblocks, and scalability fallacies, as Forbes highlights.
Despite countless hours spent by blockchain developers around the globe, the zealousness of cryptocurrency investors felt towards the end of 2017 has all but died down, and the market sentiment begs the question: When is the quintessential “killer app” of blockchain and cryptocurrencies coming out?
Ask any entrepreneur from the traditional markets, and they are sure to place customer satisfaction, user experience, and robust customer support alongside a reliable product as the bedrock of a sustainable business.
However, the core ethos of the decentralized world limits a singular voice from guiding a visionary application, or in this case a dApp, from being propagated as a strong alternative to currently-used applications in the global market. The fallacy forms one of the biggest roadblocks to building a truly decentralized system, and even the famed consensus mechanisms–decision-making votes from a blockchain network’s users–fails to address critical decisions for a dApp’s longevity.
Much of the cryptocurrency market has been propelled with a mere whitepaper and ideas on a virtual blackboard–with no mention of the steps a team will take to tackle legal concerns, token liquidity, and even public awareness.
The Three Tradeoffs
While much of the sector’s painstakingly slow growth can be attributed to a lack of regulations, extensive scams, and an absence of information among the general public, the blockchain ecosystem faces three tradeoffs.
Unlike the traditional markets, a blockchain entrepreneur or dApp developer faces three fundamental tradeoffs presenting an obstacle for making a distributed system the next “killer app;” decentralization, data throughput, and privacy. Developers need to prioritize, allocate, and optimize the three for ensuring a consumer need is adequately addressed.
However, here’s where the problem lies. A perfect mix of the three factors may look doable on paper but is extremely difficult to execute in reality. Consider Bitcoin, the pioneer cryptocurrency, which operates on an intensive proof-of-work system controlled by tens of thousands of miners around the world.
Despite the sheer computation power, Bitcoin’s throughput is capped at a mere seven transactions per second. In comparison, payment processor VISA conducts seven transactions every millisecond, a thousandth of the time taken by the former.
The lack of speed is for the network to ensure trustworthiness without a centralized party. Each block of transactions is cryptographically linked as well as linked to every node at ten-minute intervals. In case the transaction speed is sped up and confirmed by lesser miners on the network, a divergence amongst all nodes is reached that leads to questions about which chain is legitimate and could subsequently lead to a split, or a fork in the network.
If the tradeoff between transactional speed and trustworthiness is addressed as Ripple Labs did with its XRP tokens–whose throughput is clocked at 1,500 transactions per second–the tradeoff of centralization is presented to network participants.

Centralization and the Privacy Veil of Private Blockchains
For just Bitcoin, all efforts to speed up throughout include some degree of centralization. Aside from Segregated Witness–which packs more data into a single block–proposals for increasing confirmation times compromise on decentralization. Even the famed Lighting Network operates on an “off-chain” methodology that, strictly speaking, does not utilize the security of the Bitcoin network.
Let’s move on to commercial blockchains led by ambitious teams and self-styled industry leaders evangelizing permissioned blockchains and consortiums. Such purpose-built, highly-specific networks are built on top of open source technology from centralized institutions such as R3 and IBM-led Hyperledger.
However, only vetted parties can participate in such networks, and while they tradeoff PoW mechanisms to provide high throughput, the aspects of privacy and decentralized are compromised substantially.
While R3 offers non-blockchain data structures to hide transactions and address privacy, governments and regulators can legally view all transactions if they ask, as is embedded in the company’s fine print.
Killer App Coming When?
With all the points as mentioned above in mind, it seems unlikely to see a genuinely decentralized product, at least in the near-term, proving to be serious competition to centralized, CEO-guided teams working towards a common, yet dynamic, vision for their product.
All the teething issues aside, blockchain-based platforms, procedures, and distributed technologies will continue to dominate the so-called “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” while incrementally addressing each of the tradeoffs.
Protocol upgrades like Ethereum’s Sharding and Zcash’s Sapling are close to finding a sweet spot in this regard but are likely to face a contradiction from a lack of user-friendly interface and use case outlets if not guided adequately from the helm.
However, this is not to say the cryptocurrency market is not evolving daily. Instead, it is facing much of the issues associated with the rise of a promising industry, and timely tackling all shortcomings could determine if the industry gains prominence for the years to come or turns out a fad that faded like e-books.

GEMERA is a crypto-token backed by Colombian emeralds which provides a blockchain based platform where the tokens can be redeemed for physical emeralds. The project enables anyone to invest in Colombian emeralds by connecting producers and investors, without an intermediary, in a more democratic, accessible, fast and transparent manner. GEMERA Project has many advantages, which includes No middleman, Trusted records using decentralized technologies, Incentives for small investments, Excellent store of value (crisis-proof), Partial investments, Tradeable in real time, Borderless, and Being an emerald connoisseur is not necessary. The project has established an alliance with major Colombian emerald producers who provided emeralds that are already certified and stored security vaults of a trusted safe deposit box company in Hong Kong. The value of emeralds has increased by 135% since 2013, and it is 20 times scarcer than diamonds. This value can be triggered considerably with the inclusion of the benefits of the crypto environment. Those are some of the reasons why investing in emeralds is becoming very popular.
