Ex-Fidelity Exec Joins Blockchain Company Bloq as Chief Operating Officer

A former executive at financial services giant Fidelity Investments has been appointed Chief Operating Officer (COO) at blockchain infrastructure firm Bloq, according to a press release Oct. 23.

Bloq’s new COO, Hadley Stern, spent seventeen years at Fidelity, which administers over $7.2 trillionin client assets. His most recent role was at the helm of the crypto and blockchain incubator within the company’s innovation lab, Fidelity Labs – overseeing the launch last week of its new crypto-business, Fidelity Digital Assets.

Bloq’s co-founder and chairman Matthew Roszak characterized the new appointment as emblematic of the increasing entwinement of the world of “conventional” enterprises and the emerging cryptocurrency sector.

In a Medium post published today, entitled “The Tokenization of Things and Building the Unimaginable,” Stern gave his perspective on the history of the new technologies driving an “efficient, frictionless” economy:

“Without coming off as doctrinaire or fundamentalist, it’s fair to say that Satoshi Nakamoto delivered a true gift in the Bitcoin whitepaper, that is, a way to produce and account for a provably scarce, wholly digital asset. Satoshi was not-so-subtly concerned about vulnerabilities in the financial system […] Nearly a decade later, the Bitcoin project has proven stunningly resilient.”

What is Project DELTA?

The Project DELTA Blockchain Protocol presents a game-changing framework different from other protocols. It is a protocol designed with groundbreaking structure and rules which suggest a new paradigm of the blockchain for the 4th Industrial Revolution era.

Our Solutions

The DELTA Blockchain protocol offers an optimal convergence solution with data-driven technologies to lead the fourth industrial revolution.

VOTA (Verification of Transcendence Spatial Autocorrelation):

VOTA significantly reduces block time and achieves the real-time transaction by applying a unique algorithm and eliminating coin-based compensations.

DAPP As A Node (DAAN):

Being itself a node, DAPP is incentivized by business-driven benefits instead of coin compensations to confirm transactions and generate blocks.

CRDE (Cross-Referral DAPP Ecosystem):

DELTA allows anybody to create DAPPS by using the widgets (essential DAPPS provided by Project DELTA). Cross reference between DAPPS allows a dynamic DAPP ecosystem.

Pain Points

By 2025 big data is expected to increase to 163 ZB worldwide,which is 10 times the total amount of data generated in 2016.

The current blockchain protocols are unable to manage the amounts of data generated at an unprecedented scale due to the waiting time for nodes to receive the coin reward.

Limitations in the existing blockchain protocols ultimately hamper the creation of an active DAPP ecosystem.

Payments Company Square Open-Sources Its Bitcoin Cold Storage Tool

U.S. payments processing company Square has announced that it is open-sourcing its Bitcoin (BTC) cold storage solution in an official blog post published today, Oct. 23.

Cold storage refers to a method of keeping cryptocurrency holdings and users’ private keys offline in order to safeguard against theft via a remote attack.

According to the post, Square’s solution, dubbed “Subzero,” uses a Hardware Security Module (HSM)-backed cold wallet for which the company has now released the code, documentation, and tools.

Today’s post outlines that an HSM is a specialized hardware device that is used across the payments industry to “store sensitive cryptographic key material and perform operations with those keys.”

How Significant is Blockchain in the Mortgage Industry?

The global residential mortgage market is estimated to be worth $31 trillion. 66 percent of all Americans have a mortgage on their house while in the UK and China it’s as high as 70%. It’s a segment of the financial markets that hits close to home for a large portion of the global population.

The average mortgage closing costs would typically vary between 2 and 5 percent of the price of the property, including broker fees, loan origination fees, underwriting fees, surveyor fees, legal fees, and title fees. That means on a house of $250,000, the buyer can expect to pay anything between $5,000 and $12,500 just to obtain a mortgage.

The mortgage process is heavily centralized and permeated with middlemen who each add their own markup to the overall costs, a perfect target for blockchain. According to a PWC report:

“Blockchain technology may radically alter the process through which consumers buy a home, as well as the way financial institutions handle mortgages. Specifically, the technology could remove cost and friction from the process, create transaction records that are infallible and incorruptible, and facilitate near-instantaneous settlement.”

Consultancy Firm Accenture Targets Enterprise Blockchain Interoperability With Fresh Tool

Global management consultancy firm Accenture revealed a new blockchain tool in a press releaseOct. 22, its second in a month focusing on interoperability.

A week after announcing a supply chain partnership with Thailand’s Siam Commercial Bank, Accenture said its latest offering facilitated existing enterprise blockchain systems to integrate with one another.

Specifically, blockchain platform Digital Asset can now work in tandem with R3’s Corda platform, while Hyperledger Fabric and JPMorgan’s Quorum form another interoperable pair.

Discussing the two separate solutions, which the company has already tested, managing director and Global Blockchain Lead David Treat described them as a “game changer.”

“The key challenge was to develop the ability to integrate without introducing ‘operational messaging’ between distributed ledger technology platforms in order to stay true to the principles and benefits of blockchain technology,” he commented, continuing:

“Applying this capability with our clients is already unlocking new opportunities to bring ecosystems together, mitigating key concerns about picking the ‘wrong’ platform or having to re-build if one partner uses something different.”

Chinese Mining Giant Bitmain’s New Firmware Update Reignites AsicBoost Controversy

Chinese cryptocurrency mining giant Bitmain confirmed it would roll out a firmware update for so-called ‘Overt AsicBoost’ to all its Antminer models in a blog post Monday, Oct. 22.

Bitmain, which holds a monopoly on Bitcoin mining through its subsidiary mining pools BTC.com and Antpool, said the release would begin with its most recent Antminer S9 product, extending to older versions next week.

Overt AsicBoost refers to a method of increasing mining “effectiveness” for Antminers, Bitmain says, in a way that does not produce “any negative impact on the Bitcoin protocol.”

“Initially, we decided against activating this mathematical function in mining hardware produced by us, largely because of the legal uncertainty surrounding the use of AsicBoost,” the post reads:

“As an organization, we didn’t want to violate patent laws or act in any way that was untoward.”

Use of Blockchain in Major Industries by Numbers: Retail, Manufacturing, Finance, and Others

Many startups, major conglomerates, supply chain operators, and distributors have attempted to integrate blockchain technology over the past two years, to increase transparency and reduce the power of central entities in data processing.

With billions of dollars being invested annually by major corporations in blockchain development, the emerging technology has become the focal point of the long-term vision of many companies internationally.

The exponential increase in demand and interest in blockchain technology has enabled multi-billion dollar markets for the blockchain in major sectors including manufacturing, agriculture, retail, supply chain, IoT, and payments.
