NEW YORK, March 9, 2018 — Datawallet, a leading C2B blockchain-based data exchange, today announced the launch of the private alpha of its Data API. The Datawallet API is the first hub for developers building AI-driven applications centered around personal data. It allows developers to access the high quality data offered by users on the Datawallet exchange.

The Datawallet API allows companies to build their own data exchange on Datawallet’s in-app marketplace. Users of the Datawallet app can opt in to companies’ data exchanges and help power their application with the richest and most accurate cross-platform data available. Companies can then source the permissioned data into their own applications to power their algorithms and provide a new generation of personalized services.

Datawallet CEO Serafin Lion Engel said: “The release of the private alpha of our Datawallet API marks an important step in fulfilling the vision of Datawallet becoming the data layer of the internet. Powering applications with historic and real time cross-platform data, will not only allow people to train algorithms with existing data rather than having to create it anew for every single platform they interact with, but it will also provide users with a clear overview of who they are sharing data with, for what purpose, all governed by enforceable smart contracts. It moves Datawallet closer to becoming a personal data management platform that serves as a person’s hub for controlling and managing their data.”

The private Alpha will enable Datawallet to iteratively refine the capabilities of its API together with its clients: from defining which endpoints provide the most value for specific enterprise use cases and deciding which data types from which platforms lends themselves to be collated into a coherent, reliable, and persistent endpoints, to refining the high-level taxonomy that allows data consumers to search and access information intuitively — starting from high-level categories and smoothly branching into more granular endpoints. This iterative refining of the Datawallet infrastructure will enable the release of a thoroughly tested and validated Beta version in the months ahead.

Furthermore, Datawallet is proud to announce that the inaugural partner and first company building on top of the Datawallet API is Fresh Digital Group. Fresh Digital Group—whose clients include UNICEF, ESPN, and American Express — will use the Datawallet API to source anonymized and aggregated insights derived from Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram to programmatically inform decisions revolving around its fullstack voice solution including Amazon Alexa Skill development, Google Assistant Action development, and Microsoft Cortana Skill development. Using the Datawallet API, Fresh Digital Group will be able to create more personalized experiences for their clients by accurately divining insights from conversations by linking their voice and digital strategies together.

Fresh Digital Group CEO Doug Robinson said: “The combination of data science and fast computing is the key to helping companies connect with their customers. Voice provides us with a trove of data, advancing us towards ambient intelligence and frictionless daily living. We see voice as a sort of gateway drug into smart homes and overall smart living. This incorporation of technology in users’ daily lives means an increased demand for data exchanges and customized experiences. With are elated to be able to use Datawallet’s API to better personalize, aggregate, manage, analyze, and optimize personal data for business intelligence.”

This will be a fairly brief update. In this industry it is not always easy to make predictions, and especially not about the future. Right now our main focus is to deliver FIAT trading. In order to get there we first have to finalize the implementation of the new KYC system. This has resulted in a larger than predicted UI job, and hence the focus had to shift. There is also a UI job to do in regards to the FIAT trading, deposit and withdrawal also. As you might already have guessed and seen this have forced the team to relocate resources from the planned UI upgrade. The upgrade of the COSS token and the DAO also resulted in some pushbacks from the backend team. The backend team is also working hard on implementing smart contract wallets for all the erc20 tokens which is aimed for end of March. Deadlines are not always easy to keep, but we are trying as hard as we can. The process is now moving forward and it is looking good. Mong’s team have now confirmed a new and much needed Devops Engineer and we are in negotiations with several new additions to the dev team here in Singapore. As always there are notice periods involved but we are very much looking forward to getting a strong devops engineer onboard to focus on the entire architecture of our system.

The various teams have been settling well in and going forward we win to have much clearer updates from the various departments instead of only general updates from me. IT will cover IT, Compliance will cover compliance etc. I will focus more on the business side of things by conducting meeting with a variety of companies for listings, promo’s, strategic partnerships etc. we haven’t been the best on delegating roles and responsibilities but at least we have more good people in-house which makes that part a lot easier. A lot can happen in a week, both predicted and unpredicted and whenever we estimate timelines, it is just that: estimates. If anything comes in between sometimes timelines need to be pushed. We have experienced what rushing can do before and we try our best to avoid that in the future and therefore we will take the time needed to ensure we deliver quality over quantity.

We have seen red markets all over he crypto sphere but being on the road attending multiple conferences I must say that there is a lot of positivity in the industry. Many good projects in the making and many solid tokens to hit the market. The interest of being added on coss for trading is increasing and the amount of meeting requests is piling up. We prefer to meet the teams, look into the projects and evaluate to the best of our capabilities before proceeding in this process. Last week it was the d10e conference in South Korea, next week it is money 20/20 conference in Singapore. I will also be speaking at a combined Lalaworld, stellar, Monaco, Coss presentation here in Singapore during next week. All these meeting has created a little backlog also for me and that has resulted in me being late with some promised updates, but better late than never and although this update won’t be very long and detailed we felt it was important to let you know where we are at the moment and what is coming soon. So while the general UI update has been pushed back, the UI work for the new KYC system and the FIAT is moving along nicely. Praveena’s team is working hard with concluding all necessary work to be ready with FIAT trading. There are challenges but they are all overcome-able and we WILL soon have FIAT trading on Coss.io . Don’t shoot at the team if it will be last week of March or first week of April, it will be launched when it is fully ready and tested. We are moving into an area that has far more regulations and implications than just trading crypto to crypto and we are here for the long run. This of course results in more thorough due diligence and compliance work for every step we take.

We will come back with more updates next week as we are getting closer and closer.

Artificial intelligence has long ceased to be a figment of imagination and has firmly established itself as a necessary and efficient business solution that various industries can benefit from. However, the current AI market is dominated by a handful of mega-corporations that do not see any economic benefit to themselves or existing technologies in improving their AI products. The competition, consisting largely of small startups, has long been incapable of taking on the giants of the AI industry head on without a sufficiently powerful external impetus.

The greatest issue of the market lies in the unavailability of ready and marked datasets that can be used to train AI and neural networks. With the majority of dataset resources tightly controlled or restricted by exuberant fees, the development of effective AI solutions becomes either an unprofitable and laborious task, or simply impossible.

The necessary impetus for the sudden surge in opportunities for the AI market appeared only recently with the advent of blockchain technologies. GraphGrail Ai is the first and only startup on the world market that offers a credible and viable solution to diversifying the AI market by attracting developers from around the world to develop an endless array of versatile constructs suited to fit any business task on the basis of customizable smart contracts. The GraphGrail Ai platform is a meta-service designed to dramatically accelerate the creation of new companies and startups in data analysis and blockchain.

Blockchain technologies are the key to granting immense resources and capabilities to a platform that aims to develop AI by offering the vital element of trust that would bind platform participants. The trust element is ensured by the application of smart contracts that guarantee the fulfillment of any condition encrypted into their constituent algorithms.

However, the smart contract architecture often cannot foresee or understand the presence of some conditions that apply in the real world. Such conditions can be anything that cannot be programmed into the algorithm due to its unforeseen nature. These events can include force majeure circumstances, acts of God, deaths of parties involved, war, natural disasters or even weather patterns. A human being is needed to analyze the conditions and manually introduce them into the smart contract to make sure the transaction they govern takes place. The GraphGrail Ai project bypasses the need for having such a programming specialist and allows developers to tailor their smart contracts automatically. This was impossible in the past without the merger of blockchain, neural networks and artificial intelligence.

The service that GraphGrail Ai provides will be useful inside the ecosystem of blockchain networks for checking whether the external conditions have been met on smart contracts. With the help of Oracle for smart contracts, GraphGrail Ai automates the verification of the terms of smart contracts and reduces the risks of arbitration between counterparties.

Ensuring security when concluding contracts is of great relevance in the modern world. Conditions of force majeure, which occur in exceptional cases, can be prescribed in smart contracts. It is necessary to automatically check these conditions on the basis of trusted external sources with analysis of unstructured information. The GraphGrail Ai platform solves the task of providing data to a smart contract by accessing external sources, such as media, social networks, Wikipedia, etc., collecting and analyzing data important to the contract and providing the contractor with a basis for deciding whether to execute it or not. That is, it is a procedure that provides the foundation of matching for transactions. Implementation on Sidechain — a new blockchain system based on the parent Bitcoin chain (for example).

Sidechains implement new financial ecosystems through integration into Bitcoin, which distinguishes them from other cryptocurrencies, which ignore existing networks. Using sidechains, we can easily create all sorts of smart financial contracts, stocks, futures, derivatives and much more. On the basis of Bitcoin, one can create an innumerable set of sidechains with different tasks and features, whose assets will depend on the volatility of the main chain. Based on this, the sidechain contributes to the further expansion of the field of application and innovative space for blockchain technology. This allows traditional blockchains to support several types of assets, small payments, smart contracts, safe transactions, registration of real property rights, etc., and also increase the confidentiality of blockchain transactions.

Acquiring, lending and accounting will also use smart contracts. Based on Steemit and Golos.io, custom solutions will be able to collect and analyze posts about cryptocurrencies and provide a dashboard-adviser with a help function in trading and notifications about the danger of falling cryptocurrency exchange rates depending on the tonality of the news gathered.

These solutions and applications in the real world grant the GraphGrail Ai platform the opportunity to deliver a diverse and convenient set of tools that developers can use to monetize on their solutions and earn on the platform by taking on tasks and selling their constructs to businesses.

Someone will use a GraphGrail Ai solution to find business proposals, someone will track news, another will monitor the relevant experience of participants, or build an intelligent chat-bot, and so on.

Asch was invited to attend the 2018 Spring International Blockchain Application Forum and Experts Summit



2018 Spring International Blockchain Application Forum and Experts Summit jointly hosted by Bitfily and walian.cn was grandly held on February 28 in World Food City, Shenzhen, China.

Asch COO, Mr. Zhang Detao, Secretary-General of the Global (Shanghai) Blockchain Application Entrepreneurship Competition Organizing Committee, attended the event on behalf of Asch and the Global Blockchain Entrepreneurship Competition Organizing Committee and expressed his views and opinions at the round table.

This conference mainly aims to further explore and implement the applications of blockchain technology in major fields such as Internet of Things, big data, AI, healthcare, finance, intellectual property, games, entertainment and the traditional Internet, as well as how to preemptively layout and implement blockchain technology landed, thus gaining a strategic advantage in the battle for innovation.

Asch, the leading decentralized application platform in China, efficiently, flexibly, safely and greatly reduces the threshold of developers and allows more people to participate in the blockchain and accelerate the popularization of technology.

As the first chain of domestic side-chain technology, through the use of “SPV wedge” technology, Asch not only achieves plug and play, but also reduces the size of the same blockchain data. It has great advantages in security, scalability, low cost, flexibility, ease of use, and performance.

Asch COO Zhang Detao said that in the past year, Asch focused on technological development and made considerable progress, but there is a lack of marketing. In 2018, Asch will bring its market and operations into the focus of its work, including listing on world first class exchanges, reaching strategic cooperation with more listed companies and large institutions, restructuring Asch’s global brand image, setting up an overseas operation team, enhancing global influence through the linkage of leaders of various countries, entering colleges and universities and actively assuming social responsibilities.
