Convertissez Crypto.com Wrapped BTC CDCBTC en SingularityNET AGIX

What is CDCBTC? Crypto.com Wrapped BTC (CDCBTC) is a token backed 1:1 by native BTC in Crypto.com’s custody, with the underlying BTC held in Crypto.com’s cold storage. CDCBTC allows bitcoin holders to access decentralised finance (DeFi) applications on chain. Eligible Crypto.com users can obtain CDCBTC by withdrawing their native BTC from the platform to a supported non-BTC chain and swap CDCBTC for native BTC by depositing CDCBTC into their Crypto.com wallet. The Case for CDCBTC Bitcoin’s DeFi utilities on its native chain are limited because of a lack of smart contract functionality and compatibility with other chains. Several wrapped BTC products have been created to address this problem, but many fail to sufficiently mitigate counterparty and security risks. CDCBTC aims to enable token holders to unlock BTC’s DeFi capabilities across multiple chains: on-chain trading, collateralised borrowing, yield farming, restaking, and more. This will be done by offering a seamless and secure way to wrap and unwrap native BTC through the Crypto.com platform to multiple supported chains while addressing security issues by having the underlying BTC held in Crypto.com’s SOC 2 Type II compliant custodial solution. CDCBTC will be initially made available on Cronos Chain. Wrap and Unwrap of CDCBTC CDCBTC represents the underlying native BTC-backed 1:1 in Crypto.com’s custody. Mint/burn thresholds are set to ensure the underlying BTC backing CDCBTC is always larger than or equal to the circulating supply of CDCBTC. The exchange process between CDCBTC and BTC is as follows: Wrap: When users initiate a BTC withdrawal to a supported chain, they will receive CDCBTC in their destination wallet. Crypto.com will manage the minting/wrapping operation on the backend - native BTC will be moved to a dedicated BTC reserve wallet backing CDCBTC before new quantities of CDCBTC are minted on a 1:1 basis. Unwrap: When users initiate a CDCBTC deposit into their Crypto.com account, the CDCBTC is automatically unwrapped and they will receive native BTC from the dedicated BTC reserve wallet, available for trading or other use cases on the platform. Custody, Transparency, and Security The underlying BTC is held 1:1 via Crypto.com’s in-house Multiparty Computation (MPC) custody solution that has undergone SOC 2 (Service Organisation Control) Type II assessment by an independent auditor. It is an assurance through an independent auditor validating and auditing security controls and processes, focusing on the following aspects: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, and Confidentiality. Guided by the SOC 2 Type II standards, the custody solution was designed to ensure that the security controls in place protect the solution itself from unauthorised access (system abuse, theft, fraud, etc.), unauthorised removal of data, misuse of software, and improper alteration or disclosure of information. Crypto.com has engaged SlowMist for CDCBTC’s smart contracts auditing. No critical vulnerabilities have been identified.

SingularityNET is a decentralized marketplace for Artificial Intelligence (AI). The business value of AI is becoming clearer each day; however, there’s a significant gap between the people developing AI tools (researchers and academics) and the businesses that want to use them. Most organizations need a more customized solution than what a single AI project can offer, and research projects oftentimes have trouble accessing a large enough data set to build effective machine learning. SingularityNET closes these gaps. The long-term vision of the SingulairtyNET team is to build a network of complex AI Agent interactions primarily using resources from the OpenCog Foundation. To look at this further, let’s check out their in-house built humanoid robot, Sophia. Sophia uses a combination of AI Agents that range from natural language processing to physical motor controls to operate. You tell Sophia to summarize a video that’s embedded in a webpage. To do this, Sophia sends a request to Agent A. Through its AI, Agent A knows that Agent B specializes in analyzing and transcribing video while Agent C specializes in summarizing text. Agent A pays Agent B and Agent C to perform these tasks while Sophia pays Agent A to coordinate. All the while, each Agent has updated their own AI with the network information gained from these tasks and combines it with their previous experiences and knowledge. Therefore, the collective AI of the system grows at a faster rate than any individual Agent. SingularityNET wants to build a decentralized protocol for creators and users of AI to interact with each other, to not only help individual projects benefit by leveraging the strengths of other AI systems that might handle certain tasks better, but ultimately to develop SingularityNET into a functioning AI system itself, with nodes on the network making their own decisions about how to connect services and proactively provide solutions to academic and business problems. Tokenizing the network creates an AI marketplace where AI developers and sellers can not only link with others who might assist in building more robust AI solutions, but also allow AI services and products to be bought and sold, creating revenue and establishing price points where none have existed before. The SingularityNET team boasts 50+ AI developers and 10+ PhDs. Dr. Ben Goertzel leads the group as CEO and Chief Scientist. He’s also the Chairman of the OpenCog Foundation and the Artificial General Intelligence Society, as well as the Chief Scientist at Hanson Robotics, the partner company helping bring SingularityNET to life. Dr. David Hanson, founder of Hanson Robotics, serves as the Robotics Lead. Most famously, Hanson Robotics built Sophia, the most expressive humanoid robot to date. Sophia is also a proud member of the SingularityNET team. The team recently released the alpha version of the platform and is planning on launching a public beta sometime in the middle of 2018.
