EDITOR’S NOTE 编者注

In many ways, although this issue is the last of the year, it’s also about a number of firsts. This November BLOCK will be distributed at Malta Week - a four-vertical event that brings together key complimentary brands, such as emerging tech, marketing affiliation, and gaming. It is for this reason that BLOCK magazine now also carries content geared towards our digital health and gaming brands - in fact, our cover story with Alexandre Tomic, discusses the healthcare wearables market and the technology driving it towards the mainstream. Read his interview on pages 22 to 29.

After listening to feedback from our readers, we’re also excited to announce that in 2022 we’re stepping up our game and publishing even more magazines. Each of our publications will now go out three times a year, bringing our count up to six. Our magazines travel with us - so expect to see them at upcoming events, with special reports and in-depth features tapping into each new market.

This is normally the point I ladle out thanks. Writing this editorial however, is bittersweet for me, because my thanks are tinged with goodbyes. This will be the last edition for our Creative Director Jessica and photographer Aleksey.

It’s hard to imagine an issue without them, their creativity and passion stamped so distinctively across each page that they have become an integral part of the SiGMA Group brand. Aesthetics aside, they have also been an integral part of my personal experience as editor. This has been a journey worth taking, and an experience that has been all the better for their companionship.

I am especially grateful to Jessica, her support has been invaluable, and I can say without reservation, that her design has been crucial to the success these issues have found amongst the industry. I wish them both tremendous happiness in whichever new path they choose to tread.

On that note, our next issue will see its subjects through new eyes - those of Robert Cuschieri - a fitting start to 2022, a year filled with fresh beginnings and a new outlook.

在许多方面，即使本期是今年最后一刊杂志，仍包含了许多第一次。今 年11月的BLOCK将在马耳他周上发行——这是一个汇集了新兴科技、 营销联盟和博弈等主要互补性品牌、集结四大垂直市场的活动。正因如 此，BLOCK杂志现在也加入了我们数字健康与博弈品牌的相关内容。事 实上，我们由Alexandre Tomic带来的封面故事，讨论的正是穿戴式健康 照护市场，以及驱动其走向主流的技术。您可以在第22至29页阅读他的 访谈内容。

在倾听我们读者的反馈之后，我们也十分高兴地宣布，我们将于2022年 更进一步，并且出版更多的杂志。我们的出版品转为一年出版三期，每 年总数将提升至六本杂志。我们的杂志随着我们四处游历——所以您可 以期待在接下来的活动中看见它们，它们将带来针对各个新兴市场的特 出报告与深入的专栏内容。

这里通常是我大大致谢之处。然而，这期编者注对我而言苦乐参半，因 为我的感谢染上了道别的感伤。这期将是我们的创意总监Jessica以及摄 影师Aleksey参与的最后一期杂志。

很难想像没有他们参与的杂志会是什么样，他们的创造力与热忱如此鲜 明地烙印在每一页，已然成为SiGMA集团品牌的一部份。在美学之外， 他们同时组成了我个人作为一位编辑的整个体验。这趟旅程十分值得走 一遭，他们的陪伴也让这个历程变得更加美好。

我特别感谢Jessica，她的支持是无价的，我可以毫无保留地说，她的设 计对于这些期刊在业界的成功而言是至关重要的。我祝愿他们在自身选 择的未来道路上获得巨大的成功。

未来，我们的下一期将通过新的灵魂之窗——Robert Cuschieri的眼 睛——来观看主体，这对充满了新开端与新前景的2022年而言，将是个 合适的开始。

Investing

Incubating Accelerating

Celebrating Growth

欢庆成长

This time last year many were asking whether the event industry could survive the health pandemic. This year however, has been our busiest yet. November, normally a cold shoulder month in event circles, is all fired up for what promises to be the mother of all conferences.

This is the first time we’ve ever held three major expos in the same week and under the same roof. The benefits for cross pollination are huge, and we can’t wait to see this convergence of ideas, debate, and networking taking place. What better way to close off the year than by holding a week-long festival to celebrate the growth of our four verticals.

The alignment of our supershows this year are designed to allow investors to leverage the significant crossover potential for multi-faceted deals and to double down on opportunities to connect with some of the leading affiliates, policy makers and thought leaders in the industry.

Malta Week is your chance to tap into the synergy between the emerging tech, digital marketing and gaming sectors, the rocket fuel for diverging verticals to learn from each other, and most importantly do more business with each other. If we want a truly global industry - this is the way forward.

Indeed, we were thrilled by the reception AIBC received in our first major show outside of Malta, when we debuted the brand in Dubai this May. The next calendar year also promises to exceed our expectations, with an international line up of supershows in Kenya, Toronto, Dubai, and Ukraine.

Until then, see you at the show!

去年的这个时节，许多人问道，活动业是否能够 在这场公卫危机中存活下来；然而，今年已然成 为我们最繁忙的一年。11月，通常是活动圈的 淡季，而今年已经被誓言要成为会议之最的马耳 他周炒热。

这是第一次，我们在同一周、同一场所举办三场 大型博览会。交叉相授的效益十分可观，我们迫 不及待看到这个汇合了点子、辩论以及交流网络 活动举办。

我们今年联合举办的超级展会，使投资者得以利 用可观的交叉潜力进行多面向的交易，并加倍利 用与业内一些领先代理商、政策制定者和思想领 袖建立联系的机会。

马耳他周是您利用新兴科技、数字营销和博弈行 业之间协同作用的机会，是多样垂直产业相互学 习的燃料，最重要的，其将为彼此带来更多业务 来往。如果我们想要一个真正的全球产业——这 就是前进的方向。

今年5月于迪拜首次推出AIBC品牌时，获得了热 烈欢迎，这是我们第一次在马耳他之外的地方举 办大型展会，诚然，我们对此感到非常振奋。下 一年度，我们同样保证将超越自身的期盼，在肯 尼亚、多伦多、迪拜与乌克兰带来数场拥有国际 级阵容的超级展。

待到活动之时，期待与您在展会上相见！

At the FOREFRONT of INNOVATION 站在创新的最前沿

ADRIAN ATTARD TREVISAN, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF UMANA MEDICAL EXPLAINS HOW THEY ARE ON A MISSION TO STREAMLINE CARE DELIVERY, REDUCE TIME SPENT IN DIAGNOSIS AND IMPROVE PATIENTS’ ACCESS TO THE RIGHT THERAPIES.

Umana医疗公司的董事总经理Adrian Attard Trevisan解释了他们如何

肩负起简化护理服务、减少诊断时间和改善患者获得正确疗法的使命。

WHAT IS UMANA’S VISION, BOTH FOR THE LONG-TERM AND THE SHORT-TERM?

Our vision is to design technologies with patients and medical professionals at heart. Our technologies provide real, tangible benefits to our clients, focused on understanding what people need, and working towards achieving that objective. It is in this context that we work hand-in-hand with international universities, medical institutions and top pharmaceutical companies, which establishes us as a pioneer in answering the growing demand for vital signs monitoring medical devices.

We are working with two of the largest pharma companies in the world, including Bayer, to develop our innovations further. These include the centralisation of our virtual care solutions, enhancing our ability to remotely monitor patients with a variety of conditions, including diabetes.

UMANA的长短期愿景为何？

我们的愿景是以病患与专业医疗 人员为中心研发技术。我们的技 术为客户带来真实、有感的助 益，专注了解人们的需求，并为 达成该目标而努力。以此为脉 络，我们与国际大学、医疗机构 以及顶尖制药公司携手合作，将 自身打造成回应生命体征监测医 疗设备不断增长需求的先驱者。

我们现与包括拜耳在内、世界最 大型的两家制药公司合作，进一 步发展创新。这些创新包括将我 们的虚拟照护解决方案中心化， 加强我们对各种疾病患者的远程

监控能力，包含糖尿病患者。

我们还希望站在采用创新方法输 送药物的最前线，对特定人群或 是生活在边疆或偏远地区的人来 说，取得药物可能是一大挑战。

你们去年五月被GPI集团收购， 至今已满一年——这样的合作关 系发展如何？

我们的合作关系以十分积极的方 向发展，在各层面上都有不少显 著效益。首先，这两家公司带来 了不同背景与技能，在我们的领 域创造出创新势力，其总和大过 于任何单一部份。

We also want to be at the forefront of innovative ways to provide for drug delivery, which can be a significant challenge for specific pockets of the population or for people living on the periphery or remote areas.

YOU WERE ACQUIRED BY GPI GROUP IN MAY OF LAST YEAR. ONE YEAR ON - HOW HAS THE PARTNERSHIP EVOLVED?

The partnership is evolving in a very positive manner, with a number of evident benefits at different levels. Firstly, the two companies brought different backgrounds and skill-sets to the table, creating a force of innovation in our field in which the sum is bigger than any of its parts.

For our growing company, the possibility of working handin-hand with a multinational leader in this field offers unparalleled benefits. GPI is a leading company in technology and services in the field of health, social care and public administration. This means that Umana can access industrial and technological wealth, as well as the transfer of knowledge that has positioned our company on a completely different level, thus strengthening our endeavours to grow further and achieve our ambitions.

In addition, GPI has an impressive portfolio spanning practically all continents around the globe, thereby potentially opening up significant opportunities to market our innovations beyond our shores.

YOUR EXPERIENCES IN ITALY HAVE PLAYED A KEY PART IN YOUR JOURNEY TOWARDS THE COMPANY YOU ARE TODAY - CAN YOU SHARE THAT STORY?

While obviously the coronavirus pandemic is a tragedy which will have deep health and social ramifications, for Umana, it was a case of transforming a challenge into an opportunity. In early 2020 we all saw the stark, depressing images of over-crowded health facilities in Italy, as thousands of new cases flooded

wards. We acted as first responders, coming in with a solution that has saved lives by comprising the remote monitoring of infected patients who were sent to hospitals only when intensive care treatment was required.

While GPI had already developed a virtual care solution, we had just achieved certification of our T1 novel telemonitoring solution and that was a match that got things going between the two companies. This relationship has been gathering pace ever since. Today, Umana is a leader in telemedicine and runs projects on behalf of GPI in Malta, including running the system of health care electronic records, as well as a pilot project related to monitoring all children with Type 1 diabetes.

The pandemic has put incredible pressure on our healthcare system but at the same time we have seen the strength of the industry which responded quickly and efficiently, and with the collaboration of regulatory authorities, was able to bring innovations to the market in a faster way than we have seen. All this was achieved despite numerous disruptions, whether the new health care protocols, complex supply chain, remote work or the challenges to clinical trials.

History has often shown that a crisis brings out the best of humanity, it strengthens collaboration between professionals, it breaks down boundaries, allowing innovation – which is our raison d’etre, to flourish.

Many times, the stumbling blocks emerging companies like ours meet are a result of people thinking the old way, as if health was hospital-centred. Throughout Covid, people have experienced health in a different way, and they now see that this way is more convenient, practical and safe. This has already promoted a number of countries, including Italy, to enact digital health legislation to enhance such methodology.

We recognise that while trust is the cornerstone of any business, it is the primary driver of consumerbehaviour in the healthcare business. We appreciate that the timely delivery of our solutions can save lives, but at the same time we do so without compromising on quality and performance standards. In essence, Umana seeks the delicate compromise between doing the right thing and doing things right.

“ History has often shown that a crisis brings out the best of humanity, it breaks down boundaries, allowing innovation – which is our raison d’etre, to flourish ”

对于我们这样成长中的公司而言，与这个领域的跨国领导者携手合 作的可能性带来了无与伦比的好处。GPI是健康、社会照护以及公 共管理技术与服务方面的领先公司。这表示Umana可以获取产业 与技术方面的财富以及知识转移，这将我们公司置于全然不同水平 的地位，进而强化了我们进一步成长并成就自身雄心的努力。

此外，GPI在全球近乎各大洲上坐拥令人惊艳的投资组合，因此 有可能为我们创新产品在境外的营销提供重大机会。

您在意大利的经验对于引导您走向目前公司的过程中有着重大影 响——是否能与我们分享这段故事？

虽然新冠肺炎疫情的爆发显然是个悲剧，产生了健康与社会的深 重影响，对于Umana来说，这是将挑战化为机会的转机。2020 年初，我们目睹了意大利照护设施过度拥挤、令人沮丧的极端画 面，成千上万的新病例涌入病房。我们作为第一反应者，提供了 一个拯救生命的解决方案——包括远程监测染疫病患，只在他们 需要接受重症监护治疗时才送往医院。

GPI当时已经开发出虚拟照护解决方案，而我们的T1新型远程监 测解决方案甫获认证，这也是两家公司合作的开端，双方的关系 自此加速发展。时至今日，Umana是远程医疗的领导者，在马 耳他代表GPI运行项目，包括医疗保健电子记录系统，以及一个

监测所有1型糖尿病儿童的相关试点项目的运作。

疫情已对我们的医疗保健系统带来了难以想象的压力，但我们同 时也看见了产业的力量，快速且有效率的做出反应，并在监管当 局的合作下，能够以比我们所见更快的方式将创新推向市场。无 论是新的医疗保健协议、复杂的供应链、远程工作还是临床试验 的挑战，仍然在面对诸多干扰的情况下实现了。

历史经常昭示危机能激发人性的优点，这强化了专业人士之间的 合作，打破了樊篱，让创新得以蓬勃发展——这也正是我们存在 的理由。

许多时后，人们的旧有思维正是我们这样的新兴公司面临的绊脚 石，比方将医院视为健康照护的中心。新冠肺炎期间，人们体验 了不同的健康照护方式，而今将其看作是更方便、实际且安全的 做法。这已经促进了包括意大利在内的一些国家颁布数字健康立 法，以加强采取这种做法。

我们认知到，信任是任何事业的基石，而这正是医疗照护中消费 者行为的主要驱动力。我们意识到即时提供我们的解决方案能够 拯救性命，但于此同时，我们在兼顾质量与性能标准上做到这 点。本质上来说，Umana设法达成做对的事情以及做对事情这 两者之间的微妙折中。

“历史经常昭示危机能激发 人性的优点，这打破了樊 篱，让创新得以蓬勃发展—— 这也正是我们存在的理由”

FINDING EQUILIBRIUM 寻找平衡

THE BIO ARTE IS AN INNOVATIVE PLAYER IN THE FIELD OF BIOMOLECULAR RESEARCH, HIGHLY SPECIALISED ON THE MICROBIOTA. BLOCK SPEAKS TO CEO DR. MANUELE BIAZZO ABOUT THEIR DIAGNOSTIC APPROACH.

Bio Arte公司是生物分子研究领域的一个创新企业，高度专注于微生物群的研 究。BLOCK采访了该公司首席执行官Manuele Biazzo博士，了解他们的诊断方法。

TELL US MORE ABOUT BIO ARTE, WHAT MAKES THE COMPANY STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD?

I started this company a year and a half ago, together with my partner Christian Duchow. Bio Arte merges two different worlds to create one holistic vision; mine, which concerns the microbiological and supplement production, while Christian focuses on the pharmaceutical side of things.

The idea behind the company is very simple, it’s based on the characterisation and clinical interpretation of the human provider. It is a collection of all the microorganisms living in us, and with us, and plays a crucial role in the balance of our health. The microbiota is a new

meta organ and this influences a lot of factors in our health, from digestion to production of vitamins and the regulation of immunity.

WHAT LED YOU TO FOUND BIO ARTE IN 2020 ALONGSIDE PARTNER

CHRISTIAN DUCHOW?

I met Christian in Malta purely by chance, it’s a great place for making connections. We approached Malta Enterprise, who helped us to find an industrial space to set up our laboratories. We also got involved in some international research projects through the help of Malta Enterprise. For us research is a must, and obviously it’s a very expensive tool for a company to have - but we strongly believe that

without investment in the research sector there will be no future.

WHAT KIND OF SERVICES AND PRODUCTS DO YOU OFFER AT BIO ARTE - WHAT ADVANTAGES ARE THERE FOR DOCTORS AND PATIENTS?

We provide a full characterisation of the microbes residing in different parts of your body - particularly in the gut. Obviously to do only this is not enough, so we also link this to our database and control groups - and based on the different populations we can estimate the equilibrium. As soon as the equilibrium is interrupted, tipped towards a more inflammatory or weak environment - there will be severe consequences on your health.

请与我们分享更多关于Bio Arte公司的情况，是什么让该公司脱颖而出？

我在一年半前与我的合伙人Christian Duchow一起创办了这家公司。Bio Arte融 合了两个不同的世界，创造了全面性的视野；我熟悉的领域关注于微生物和补 充剂的生产，而Christian则专注于制药方面的工作。

公司背后的想法非常简单，以人类提供者的特征归纳与临床判读为基础。这是生 活在我们体内和与我们一起生活的所有微生物之集合，并在人们的健康平衡中 发挥着关键作用。微生物群是一个新的元器官，影响着我们健康的许多因素， 涵盖了从消化到维生素的生产和免疫力的调节。

是什么促使你在2020年与合伙人Christian Duchow一起创立了Bio Arte？

我纯粹于偶然之下在马耳他认识了Christian，马耳他是个建立联系的好地方。 我们与Malta Enterprise接洽，他们帮助我们找到了一个工业空间来建立实验 室。通过Malta Enterprise的帮助，我们还参与了一些国际研究项目。对我们来 说，研究是必须的，对一间公司来说这显然是非常昂贵的工具，但我们坚信， 若不对研究部门投资，公司就没有未来。

Bio Arte公司提供什么样的服务和产品，对医生和病人有什么益处？

我们提供你居住在身体不同部位的微生物的全面特征，特别是肠道的微生物。 显然，只做这些还不够，所以我们也将这项服务连结到我们的数据库以及对照 组——基于不同的族群人口，我们可以估计出微生物的平衡样态。一旦平衡被 破坏，更倾向炎症或虚弱环境，就会对你的健康产生严重后果。好消息是，微 生物叢可以被调节——这当然须借由基因分析——但一旦我们取得分析结果， 就可以提供治疗建议。这就是我们与几位医生紧密合作的原因。每个病人结果 都是非常特有的，所以为了看到成效，个性化治疗是关键。永远不会有对每个 人都成功的治疗方法。

你还与多家专精于IT和AI机器学习的供应商合作，请与我们分享更多细节。

我们处理的是存在于我们体内成千上万个细菌物种的基因组——在汲取了大量 的数据之后，你需要进行分析、过滤和解释。这就是我们正在填补的人工智能 和机器学习方面的空白。

“深入的知识、尖端技术，以及一个

始终与最新的科学研究同步的团队， 这些都是深植于我们DNA中的基因”

“ In-depth knowledge, cutting-edge technology, and a team that is consistently up to date with the latest in scientific research: Those are the genes in our DNA ”

ikigai ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm with a global presence. ikigai's mandate is global and focuses on investments in gaming, esports, blockchain, AI, and frontier tech.

The good thing is this microbiote can be modulated - it’s a genetic analysis of course - but once we obtain the results we can provide suggestions for treatment. This is why we work closely with several doctors. The consequences are very specific to each patient, so it is crucial there is a personalisation of the treatment in order to see a result. There will never be one treatment that is successful for every one.

YOU HAVE ALSO COLLABORATED WITH SEVERAL COMPANIES, SPECIALIST IT AND AI MACHINE LEARNING SUPPLIERSTELL US MORE.

After you generate huge amounts of data - we handle thousands of genomes of bacterial species present in our body - this needs to be analysed, filtered, and interpreted. This is the AI and machine learning gap we’re filling. We’re working with several partners in the bioinformatic and AI environment in order to build software pipelines that will speed up the process of filtering the data and obtaining

the information we need. Our platform takes care of three key sections: the diagnostic, the bioinformatic, and the clinical - this is our added value. In-depth knowledge, cutting-edge technology, and a team that is consistently up to date with the latest in scientific research: Those are the genes in our DNA.

我们与几家生物信息学和人工智能环 境中的伙伴合作，以建立软件管道， 加快过滤数据以及获取所需信息的 流程。我们的平台关照到三个关键部 分：诊断、生物信息和临床——这正 是我们的附加价值。深入的知识、尖 端技术，以及一个始终与最新的科学 研究同步的团队，这些都是深植于我 们DNA中的基因。

ANY PROJECTS UP YOUR

SLEEVE?

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TO HEAR ABOUT IN 2022?

We currently are working on a big project on the characterisation of the nasal microflora in Covid patients. The outcome of a Covid infection is very difficult to predict today but there are elements that hint at why some people are asymptomatic and why some end up needing to be monitored in hospital. Over the next few years, with a proper diagnostic tool - which is what we have developed so far - we will be able to unlock key biomarkers to predict the outcome of a disease or to offer protection from a disease, starting from Covid and moving towards obesity and neurodegeneration.

你们是否正计划推出什么项目？我们 能够期待在2022年听到哪些消息？ 我们目前正在进行一个大型项目，研 究新冠肺炎患者的鼻腔微生物群特 征。目前，染疫的结果很难预测，但 有一些因素暗示了为什么有些人为无 症状患者，而有些人最终需要在医院 接受监测。在未来的几年里，当我们 有了适当的诊断工具（也就是我们至 今仍在开发的），我们将能够解锁关 键的生物标记，以预测疾病结果或提 供疾病保护，我们从新冠肺炎开始， 向肥胖和神经退化性疾病发展。

FIT FUTURE 适应未来需求

HEALTH WEARABLES HAVE BEEN A BIT OF A PASSION PROJECT FOR FOUNDER AND CEO OF ALEA GAMING, ALEXANDRE TOMIC. WITH TESTING STARTING IN Q2 NEXT YEAR, HE SITS DOWN WITH BLOCK TO DISCUSS WHY THESE DEVICES ARE ON TRACK TO CHANGE THE FACE OF HEALTHCARE.

对于 Alea Gaming 的创始人兼首席执行官 Alexandre Tomic 而言，健康

可穿戴设备一直是一个充满激情的项目。 随着明年第二季度开始测试，

他与 BLOCK 坐下来讨论为什么这些设备有望改变医疗保健的面貌。

Aggregating wearables is a lot like aggregating games - something that CEO and founder of Alea Gaming, Alexandre Tomic, has solid experience in. He is himself a keen advocate and early adopter of the technology, a man who wears his heart on his sleeve, so to speak, having worn health trackers for the past two years.

The average person today probably owns several different health tracking devices, he explains. Oura rings, Apple Watches, Fitbits. “When we first started looking into wearables we realised that while they may have their own way of doing things, essentially, they do the same thing. So, the question is, how can we take all this data and aggregate it into meaningful, useful information?”

The solution? Alea has decided to build their own wearable with its own aggregator dashboard - blending all these devices into one super tracker. They’re also partnering with a company called Valencell, which is providing the sensors for the device.

Health wearables have always been a bit trendy though haven’t they? Are people actually becoming more conscious about their health?

Alex is confident it has a future, especially as people become more invested in optimising the way their bodies function, and in taking a leading role in shaping their future. They are a new breed of hackers, using their body in the most effective way to intuitively achieve good health and increased longevity. Although, as he explains - this is not necessarily about living longer, but about living to an age where you can still function perfectly. “It’s a very interesting and effective technology. We need to live longer and we need to live better.”

He goes on to explain how having access to real time biofeedback can help you make more conscious decisions about your behaviour. One of the first things people notice, he says, is the effect your heart rate can have on your ability to go about your day-to-day life. Heavy alcohol consumption, for example, will have a clear and noticeable effect on your sleep quality - in the face of this kind of feedback, most people naturally start adjusting their behaviour.

“Imagine how much willpower it would take to make these changes if you didn’t have that information at your fingertips. When data can illustrate the situation in real time, the way your

body reacts to good and bad habits, it’s easier to make a good decision. When you know what’s happening you know what you need to do. You naturally become healthier because you can see the results every day.”

There’s also a growing demand for consumers to have more control over their data.

“I believe the road we’re going down is that more and more people are going to want access to their data - to exert more control over their health.”

Although you will still go to your doctor, he says, you can now take your dashboard to your appointment, you can pinpoint the exact moments symptoms occur - even something as mundane as anxiety-related palpitations can be anticipated and avoided. It’s a much more proactive approach.

“I think that many issues could be better solved through data and machine learning. There’s no need for a machine to spend years gaining medical experience, it doesn’t face the same limitationsbiometrical digitalisation can compute info and predict patterns in a way a human simply cannot. Even the most experienced and learned doctors have not always had the opportunity to have seen real life cases of rare diseases in their career, but machine learning has seen millions of cases - from day one.

It can pinpoint the start of an epidemic, gauge the physiological reaction of a population listening to a political speech, or measure the spread of viruses in a population in real time - and, if you want to go down an Orwellian path - happiness.

“ Wearables will increasingly cost less and less - you will be able to see the wellbeing of the population in real time. It’s a tech that should make health much more accessible ”

聚合可穿戴设备很像聚合游戏——Alea Gaming 的 CEO 兼创始人 Alexandre Tomic 在 这方面拥有丰富的经验。他本人是该技术的热心倡导者和早期采用者，是一个心不在 焉的人，所以可以说，过去两年一直戴着健康追踪器。

他解释说，今天的普通人可能拥有几种不同的健康追踪设备。 Oura 戒指、Apple Watch、Fitbits。当我们第一次开始研究可穿戴设备时，我们意识到虽然它们可能有 自己的做事方式，但本质上，它们做的是同样的事情。那么，问题是，我们如何才能 将所有这些数据汇总成有意义的、有用的信息？

解决方案？ Alea 决定使用自己的聚合器仪表板构建自己的可穿戴设备——将所有这 些设备融合到一个超级跟踪器中。他们还与一家名为 Valencell 的公司合作，该公司 为该设备提供传感器。

健康可穿戴设备一直有点时尚，不是吗？人们真的越来越关注自己的健康了吗？

Alex 相信它有未来，尤其是随着人们越来越多地投资于优化身体机能方式，并在塑 造未来方面发挥主导作用。他们是新一代的黑客，以最有效的方式利用他们的身体来 直观地实现身体健康和延长寿命。虽然，正如他所解释的——这不一定是为了活得更 久，而是要活到一个你仍然可以完美运作的年龄。 “这是一项非常有趣且有效的技 术。我们需要活得更久，我们需要活得更好。”

他继续解释如何获得实时生物反馈可以帮助您对自己的行为做出更有意识的决定。他 说，人们首先注意到的事情之一是心率对 日常生活能力的影响。例如，大量饮酒会 对您的睡眠质量产生明显的影响——面对 这种反馈，大多数人自然会开始调整自己 的行为。

“想象一下，如果这些信息触手可及，那 么做出这些改变需要多大的意志力。当数 据可以实时说明情况，您的身体对好坏习 惯的反应方式时，更容易做出正确的决 定。当你知道正在发生的事情时，你就会

知道你需要做什么。你自然会变得更健康，因为你每天都能看到结果。”

消费者对数据拥有更多控制权的需求也在不断增长。 “我相信我们要走的路是越来越多的人想要访问他们的数据——以更好地控制他们的 健康。”

他说，尽管您仍会去看医生，但现在您可以将仪表板带到您的预约中，您可以确定出 现症状的确切时刻——甚至可以预见和避免与焦虑相关的心悸这样平凡的事情。这是 一种更加主动的方法。

“可穿戴设备的成本将越 来越低——您将能够实时 了解人们的健康状况。

这是一项应该让健康更 容易获得的技术”

“我认为通过数据和机器学习可以更好地解决许多问题。机 器不需要花费数年时间来获得医疗经验，它也不会面临同样 的限制——生物识别数字化可以以人类根本无法做到的方式 计算信息和预测模式。即使是最有经验和最博学的医生在他 们的职业生涯中也不总是有机会看到现实生活中的罕见疾病 案例，但机器学习已经看到了数百万个案例——从第一天起。

它可以确定流行病的开始，衡量听政治演讲的人群的生理反 应，或实时测量病毒在人群中的传播——如果你想走奥威尔 式的道路——幸福感。

“可以访问分析数据的软件，然后可以通过机器学习工具处 理这些数据，该工具可以为您提供建议的行动方案——您将 能够在问题成为问题之前识别问题。如果您可以读取胆固醇 水平或血清素和多巴胺等神经递质会怎样？以前，人们只有 在症状开始出现后才会去看医生——通常是多年不受控制的 损害的结果。”

亚历克斯还认为，可穿戴设备可以帮助面临经济和社会劣势 的人们更容易获得健康。

“想象一下，在贫穷的国家拥有它，可穿戴设备不会花费很多 钱，而且它们的成本会越来越低——你将能够实时看到人们的 健康状况。这是一项应该让健康更容易获得的技术。”

他对这个主题的热情是显而易见的，他向合作伙伴和员工发 送了 100 多个 Oura 戒指，主要是因为他坚信这是一项“令人

难以置信的技术”。事实上，员工的福祉是这次谈话的重中 之重——值得称道的是，公司正在采取积极措施确保员工的 健康处于最佳状态 健康）状况。

他向我保证，公司将无法访问个人数据，让员工自己私下管 理结果。这是一个敏感点，因为正如他所说，这不仅仅是数 据，而是生物数据——它有着混乱的历史和不道德的管理不 善。但是，他们确实可以访问匿名数据，这有助于他们衡量 公司举措对员工福祉的影响。

“我相信我们要走的路 是越来越多的人想要访 问他们的数据——以更

好地控制他们的健康”

“Having access to software that analyses your data, which can then be processed by machine learning tools which can give you a recommended course of action to take - you’re going to be able to identify problems way before they become an issue. What if you could read your cholesterol levels, or neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine? Previously people would go to the doctor only after symptoms start to show - often a culmination of years of unchecked damage.”

Alex also believes wearables can help make good health more accessible to people facing economic and social disadvantages.

“Imagine having it in countries that are poor, wearables don’t cost a lot of money and they will increasingly cost less and less - you will be able to see the wellbeing of the population in real time. It’s a tech that should make health much more accessible.”

His passion for the subject is evident, shipping out over a 100 Oura rings to partners and staff, primarily because he strongly believes that it’s an ‘incredible technology’. In fact, the wellbeing of staff is at the forefront of this conversation - in a commendable move, the company is taking proactive steps to ensure the health of their employees is in peak condition.

The company will not have access to personal data he reassures me, leaving staff to privately manage the results themselves. It’s a sensitive point, because, as he says, it’s not just data, it’s biodata - which has a messy history with unethical mismanagement. However, they do have access to anonymous data, which helps them to measure the impact company initiatives are having on the wellbeing of employees.

They may enjoy doughnuts every day, he jokes, but ultimately the priority is to ‘make sure nothing you do at the office is going to harm themwhether it’s physical or mental.’

“ I believe the road we’re going down is that more and more people are going to want access to their data - to exert more control over their health ”

“ When data can illustrate the situation in real time, it’s easier to make good decisions. You naturally become healthier because you can see the results every day ”

Over a year and a half ago they bought a hyperbaric chamber - Oxyhelp. It can fit up to four people and delivers twice the atmospheric pressure with 100% oxygen. ‘It is an amazing technology that allows you to feel refreshed, but valuable also for its use in hospitals in the treatment of serious diseases such as diabetes.’

It’s currently being housed in the new office they’re building - which they hope to move into in a few short months. Employees will also be able to make use of a sauna, enjoy good food and as stress free a working environment as possible.

“We are in an iGaming business where you face a very competitive field, we need to be sure we manage stress in a good way - because ultimately - working in a company is stressful.”

In fact, there are wearables that exist specifically for stress management and that are specifically done on a B2B level. Oura, for example, has a health platform that looks at stress factors and is only accessible to companies - helping them to manage the wellbeing of employees.

The Oura ring can also go as far as alerting staff to possible Covid symptoms. The potential here for companies is huge - unfortunately this is still a feature that is only available to companies enrolled in the health management platform and not to the general consumer.

“We are already digitally connected, but imagine what it will be like when we become biometrically unified. The level of knowledge we’ll have about the human race is going to be crazy.” This kind of B2B management of staff is one of many trends likely to emerge in the wearables market over the next few years. In terms of direct tech, we should see advances in glucose monitoring (using a PPG sensor) next year. Blood pressure, stress evaluation through different sensors, and at some point cholesterol, vitamin, and mineral profiles.

“To be honest though, we’re going slow”. Their measured approach will see testing start in Q2 of next year, when they hope to testrun a few wearables amongst close friends and colleagues.” I think we’ll have something to show mid to end next year,” he concludes.

他们可能每天都喜欢吃甜甜圈，他开玩笑说，但最终的首要任务 是“确保你在办公室做的任何事情都不会伤害他们——无论是身体 上还是精神上。”

一年半以前，他们买了一个高压舱。它最多可容纳 4 人，并提供两 倍于大气压的 100% 氧气。 “这是一项了不起的技术，让您感觉精 神焕发，但它在医院中用于治疗糖尿病等严重疾病也很有价值。”

它目前被安置在他们正在建造的新办公室里——他们希望在短短几 个月内搬进。员工还可以使用桑拿浴室，享受美食，并尽可能营造 无压力的工作环境。

“我们在 iGaming 业务中面临着竞争非常激烈的领域，我们需要确 保以良好的方式管理压力 - 因为最终 - 在公司工作是有压力的。”

事实上，有一些可穿戴设备专门用于压力管理，并且专门用于 B2B 级别。例如，Oura 有一个健康平台，可以查看压力因素，并且只 有公司可以访问 - 帮助他们管理员工的福祉。

Oura 戒指还可以提醒员工注意可能的 Covid 症状。公司的潜力是 巨大的——不幸的是，这仍然是一项功能，仅适用于注册健康管理 平台的公司，而不适用于一般消费者。

我们已经实现了数字连接，但想象一下当我们实现生物识别统一时 会是什么样子。我们对人类的了解程度将是疯狂的。这种 B2B 员 工管理是未来几年可穿戴设备市场可能出现的众多趋势之一。在 直接技术方面，明年我们应该会看到葡萄糖监测（使用 PPG 传感 器）的进步。血压、通过不同传感器评估压力，以及在某些时候胆 固醇、维生素和矿物质的分布。

“但说实话，我们走得很慢”。他们衡量的方法将在明年第二季度开 始测试，届时他们希望在几个亲密的朋友和同事中测试一些可穿戴设 备。”我认为我们将在明年中到年底展示一些东西，”他总结道。

“ 当数据可以实时说明情况 时，更容易做出正确的决策。

你自然会变得更健康，因为你 每天都能看到结果”

SOLVING THE HEALTHCARE PUZZLE

解决医疗难题

CLINICAL AND HEALTH TECH ADVISORS TO MED-TECH WORLD, DYLAN ATTARD & RYAN GRECH ARE BOTH PRACTISING PHYSICIANS WITH A PASSION FOR HEALTH TECH AND A BELIEF THAT DIGITAL IS A KEY PART OF SOLVING THE LOOMING HEALTHCARE CRISES.

世界医疗科技（Med Tech World）的临床和健康技术顾问Dylan Attard以及Ryan Grech都是执业医师，他们对健康技术充满热 情，并相信数字化是解决迫在眉睫的医疗危机的关键部分。

2020

was the aha moment for the healthcare industry - primary, secondary and tertiary care finally understood that digital is one of the pieces to the ever-growing healthcare problematic puzzle. Whilst it’s somewhat worrying that it took a global pandemic for this realisation, it is equally heartening to see that the innovation, implementation and funding have not been stifled but rather continued to accelerate at an incredible pace. Despite this, two key elements remain missing from the equation. The healthcare provider and the patient remain conspicuously missing from the formula that companies and institutions are employing to digitize healthcare, and that is troubling.

Having software developers without experience in healthcare delivery, knowledge of healthcare pathways or understanding of risks and safety netting building tools for doctors without their input is a recipe for disaster. Not only can these practices can be dangerous and may result in grievous harm but they will also reduce the likelihood of doctors not using these digital tools as they don’t integrate well into their routine.

The second ingredient is patients. Most of the budding health tech start-ups out there are aimed at the patient. It is not enough to onboard the correct disease expert within your company. The patient also needs to have a voice. First of all, whichever way you look at it, it is a good business decision.

2020年是令健康照护产业醍醐灌顶之时——初 级、二级和三级医疗机构终于明白，数字是不 断增长的医疗问题拼图中的一个环节。虽然， 这一点在全球疫情爆发后才被意识到，令人有 些担忧，但同样也令人振奋的是，创新、实施 和资金并没有因而被扼杀，而是以惊人的速度 继续加速。尽管如此，在这个等式中仍然缺少 两个关键因素。医疗服务提供者和病人仍未被 纳入在各公司和机构采用的医疗数字化公式 中，这一点令人担忧。

让没有医疗服务经验、不了解医疗途径、不了 解风险和安全网的软件开发人员在没有医生投 入的情况下为医生建立工具，是一种灾难的开 端。这些做法不仅危险，可能会导致严重的伤 害，而且也会因为无法妥善融入医生的日常工 作，而降低医生使用这些数字工具的可能性。

第二个要素是病人。大多数刚起步的健康科技 初创企业都是以病人目标。在你的公司内加入 正确的疾病专家是不够的，病人也需要有发言 权。首先，无论你怎么看，让病人参与都是一 个好的商业决定，毕竟该产品的未来使用者同 样是病人。其次，以病人为中心的照护概念也

After all, it is that same patient who will be using the product. Secondly, the concept of patient-centred care also extends to digital health as companies tout their products as being part of said care. Patient-centred care ensures that patients are involved in healthcare decisions that concern them which improves understanding, compliance, and ultimately outcomes thus improved healthcare quality.

So what do we make of all of this? Three points we want to drive home.

• Assemble a team with the appropriate skills. As with most other things in healthcare, a multi-disciplinary approach works best.

• Put the patient at the centre of your product. What’s unique to healthcare is that we all have one goal in mind - improving patient’s care. Use this to your advantage - involve relevant patient groups in your design processthey will be using it at the end of the day.

• Simplicity is the greatest virtue. Do not add things to your product just for the sake of adding them. Make sure that the functionality intersects with the user expectation to make the experience as straightforward as possible. You only need to look at one of the biggest companies in consumer tech to see that this formula works.

The above sentiments are what we had in mind in designing the upcoming Med-Tech World conference. We want the users, both healthcare professionals and patients to be at the centre of our discussions in line with our beliefs. We look forward to these two jam-packed days and we hope you’ll engage in meaningful exchanges to drive digital innovation in healthcare forward.

延伸到了数字健康领域，公司将其产品吹捧为前述护 理工作的一部分。以病人为中心的护理确保病人参与 到与自身相关的医疗决策中，从而提高理解、配合程 度和最终结果，进一步提升医疗质量。

那么，我们该如何做到这一切呢？我们想强调三点：

• 组建一个具有适当技能的团队。如同医疗保健 领域中其他大多数的情况，一个多学科方法是 最有效的。

• 把病人置于你的产品中心。医疗保健的独特之 处在于，我们都有共同目标：改善病人的照 护。利用这一点来发挥你的优势——让相关的 病人群体参与你的设计过程——他们最终会使 用这个产品。

• 简洁是最大的美德。不要只是为了添加而在产 品上多加东西。确保功能与用户的期望交会， 使用户的体验尽可能的直接。你只需要看看消 费技术领域最大的公司之一，就会发现这个公 式是有效的。

上述观点是我们在设计即将举行的世界医疗科技会议 （Med-Tech World）时的想法。我们希望能够遵循 自身信念，让用户——包括医护人员和病人——成 为我们讨论的中心。我们期待着这两天的会议，并且 希望你能参与这项有意义的交流，推动医疗领域的 数字创新。

“ Whilst it’s somewhat worrying that it took a global pandemic for this realisation, it is equally heartening to see that the innovation, implementation and funding have not been stifled ”

“虽然，这一点在全球 疫情爆发后才被意识 到，令人有些担忧，但 同样也令人振奋的是， 创新、实施和资金并没 有因而被扼杀，而是以 惊人的速度继续加速”

DRIVING

THE CANNATECH ENGIN

转动大麻科技引擎

Photography by Isabelle Shah

ALEX SHAH, FOUNDER OF THE LONDON FUND AND IS SET TO INTRODUCE TWO MORE TO THE CANNA TECH MARKET; ENGIN AND COUPOND. KAI DOWLING SPEAKS TO ALEX SHAH.

Alex Shah是LONDON FUND的创始人，他准备为大麻技术市场引入另外 两者：ENGIN与COUPOND。KAI DOWLING对Alex Shah进行了访谈。

Canna tech is the future of the industry when it comes to consumer package goods. AI and emerging tech have turned industries on top of their head such as the health sector, car manufacturing industry and agriculture just to name a few.

Now, the cannabis industry is also set for major changes due to AI thanks to an innovative platform that is ready to revolutionise recruitment in canna tech.

Who better to introduce this new emerging tech than Alex Shah who has more than 20 years of experience in building, integrating and managing enterprises from concept through IPO.

Alex is the founder of the London Fund and, due to his expertise and thirst for innovation, has managed to build businesses that will impact the global economy.

For the past ten years the London Fund were responsible for six exits amounting to more than $1 billion dollars and the traditional merchant bank is constantly looking for interesting challenges, resulting in becoming a known quantity in the cannabis space.

Alex’s background in the cannabis industry is second to none. He was the first person to acquire several US patents for a cannabis company, built a cannabis tech company and sold it for $22.5 million in 22 months and was also the first cannabis tech CTO of a public listed company on NASDAQ.

在消费包装商品方面，大麻技术是产业的未 来。人工智能和新兴技术已经使一些行业脱 胎换骨，如医疗、汽车制造业和农业等。

现在，大麻产业也将因人工智能而发生重大 变化，这要归功于一个准备彻底改变大麻技 术招聘的创新平台。

Alex Shah在建立、集成与管理企业从概念 发想到IPO的方面有20多年的经验，有谁比 他更适合介绍这种新兴技术？Alex是London Fund的创始人，由于他的专业知识和对创 新的渴望，他成功地建立了将影响全球经济 的企业。

在过去的十年中，London Fund负责了六次

退场，总额超过10亿美元，而传统的商业银 行一直在寻找有趣的挑战，London Fund自 此在大麻领域中广为人知。

Alex在大麻行业的背景是首屈一指的。他是 第一个为一家大麻公司获得多项美国专利的 人，建立了一家大麻技术公司，并在22个月 内以250万美元的价格将其出售。他还是纳 斯达克上市公司的第一位大麻技术CTO。

Alex also just stepped down as CTO of Akenra (KERN: NASDAQ) and CEO of solo sciences, a platform that detects cannabis counterfeit, and is now building two very unique companies. These two companies, according to Alex, will solve major global issues in two different industries but they both focus on two sectors – AI and cannabis.

The reason that The London Fund and Alex are targeting the cannabis industry is due to it being a close knit community and those players who occupy high levels in the industry are able to come close to and understand those who are just merely consumers.

So what are the two projects in the pipeline that are set to change the global economy and solve modern day problems? The answer is Coupond and engin sciences incoporated.

COUPOND

The London Fund always identifies problems within a sector and use innovative ways to present a solution to overcome the barrier. One of the major problems felt worldwide is that of couponing, a lucrative business both in everyday industries and also in the cannabis sector. Coupons are the life and soul of brand promotion and there are a number of eye catching statistics that support this:

• 90%+ of consumers use coupons one way or another

• 60% love receiving digital coupons

• 31Billion coupons were redeemed back in 2019

• 68% believe digital coupons generate loyalty

However, the problem identified by Alex is that if you wish to make a deal the consumer must have a universal coupon that does not exist, I.e the consumer is told where to redeem it. Coupond will solve this problem by bringing back the marketing power to the manufacturers as consumers will be able to access offers anywhere. The team behind Coupond are responsible for more than $1B in cannabis sales at Eaze and built the foundation of modern category management, loyalty cards and digital coupons.

“ The London Fund always identifies problems within a sector and use innovative ways to present a solution to overcome the barrier ”

ENGIN SCIENCES INC

Companies are no longer employing workers but are now employing people who are participating in “gigs” or known as digital nomads. However, there is no platform for these gig workers to showcase a quantified profile. This has resulted in the birth of Engin 1.0 which will build a tech site favouring the gig worker. Engin will quantify who the workers are through a gamified process and collects a series of signals to build a quantified X Profile. The X Profile will combine 50+ hard/soft skills and participants will be able to add training and/or licence certificates. This new AI tech presents the perfect chance for the cannabis market as the industry continuously receives an influx of applications and businesses, more often than not, recruit the wrong candidate. Conventional recruitment just won’t do it for the cannabis sector especially due to the influx of applications once businesses reopen post-COVID19. The engin1.0 virtual talent management systems allows HR managers to gamify the job application process on any site, quickly evaluate applicants, engage with viable candidates and matches people to the jobs that best suit them.

• 90％以上的消费者以某种方式使用优惠券

• 60％的人喜欢收到数字优惠券

• 2019年有310亿张优惠券被兑换使用

• 68％的人认为数字优惠券能够产生忠诚度

Alex还刚刚卸任Akenra（纳斯达克：KERN）的首席技术官，以及 solo sciences（一个检测大麻赝品的平台）的首席执行官，目前正 在创建两家非常独特的公司。据Alex所言，这两家公司将解决两个 不同产业内的全球重大问题，但同时都专注于人工智能和大麻这 两个领域。

伦敦基金和亚历克斯之所以将目标对准大麻行业，是因为它是一个 紧密联系的社区，那些位居行业高层的参与者能够接近并理解仅仅 作为消费者的人。

那么，将改变全球经济并解决现代问题两个筹备中的项目为何？ 答案是Coupond和Engin Sciences。

COUPOND

London Fund总是在识别一个领域中存在的问题，并使用创新的方式 提出解决方案来克服障碍。世界上的主要问题之一是优惠券使用，这 项业务在日常行业和大麻领域都利润丰厚。优惠券是品牌推广的生命 和灵魂，有许多令人瞩目的统计数据支持这一点：

然而，Alex发现的问题在于，如果想进行交易，消费者必须先持有 一张不存在的通用优惠券，并且需要告知消费者在哪里可以兑换使 用。Coupond将通过把营销力道还给制造商来解决这个问题，借此， 消费者在任何地方都能访问优惠。Coupond背后的团队负责Eaze公司 超过10亿美元的大麻销售，并建立了现代的类别管理、忠诚卡以及数 字优惠券基础。

ENGIN SCIENCES INC.

现今社会中，公司不再雇佣劳工，而是雇佣 “零工作业” 者，或 是人们所知的数字游牧民族。然而，没有一个平台可以让这些零 工作业者展示出量化的资料。这促使了Engin 1.0的诞生，他们将 建立一个有利于零工作业者的技术网站。Engin采用游戏化的过程 来量化劳工的工作，并收集一系列的信号来建立一个量化的X档 案。该X档案将结合50多种硬/软技能，加入该平台的人可以在里 头添加培训或执照证书。这项新的人工智能技术为大麻市场提供 了完美的机会，该行业不断收到大量的应聘申请，而企业大多数 时后都招募到错误的人选。传统的招聘方式无法满足大麻行业的需 要，尤其是一旦企业在疫情后重新开业，将会有大量的应聘申请涌 入。Engin1.0虚拟人才管理系统允许人力资源经理将在任何网站上 的职位申请过程游戏化，快速评估申请人，与可能的候选人接触， 并将人们与最适合自己的工作配对。

“伦敦基金会总是在一 个部门中发现问题，并 采用创新的方式提出解 决方案，以克服障碍”

KEEPING THINGS HONEST

保持诚实

HEMPSTREET IS INDIA’S FIRST RESEARCH TO RETAIL MEDICAL CANNABIS PLAYER AND IS UTILISING THE BLOCKCHAIN TO SCALE RESPONSIBLY ACROSS ITS NETWORK OF OVER 60,000 MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS. THEY AIM TO FIGHT THE PAIN RELIEF CRISIS BY PROVIDING RESPONSIBLY DISPENSED CANNABIS-BASED MEDICATION. CO-FOUNDER AND CEO, ABHISHEK MOHAN SHARES HIS TWO CENTS.

Hempstreet是印度第一个从研究到零售的医用大麻参与者，并利用区块链在其超过6万名 医疗从业者的网络中负责任地扩展。通过提供负责可靠的配剂大麻基底药物来对抗疼痛缓 解危机，是他们的目标。 联合创始人兼首席执行官Abhishek Mohan分享了他的观点。

It took us 70,000 deaths a year and over a trillion dollars in costs in the US to figure out there was something wrong with the whole opioids industry.

From misleading marketing campaigns, unscrupulous doctors and what can only be termed as a diabolical supply chain, the opioids industry did whatever it could to get patients hooked on this highly addictive product.

In 2018, health care providers across the US brought more than 191 million prescriptions for opioid pain medication. Despite guidelines to limit opioids as a first approach to managing most chronic pain, a study found primary care clinicians write 45% of all opioid prescriptions in the US.

我们每年有7万人死亡，成本超过一万 亿美元，才发现整个阿片类药物产业有 问题。

从误导性的营销活动、无良医生和只能被 称为恶毒的供应链，阿片类药物产业不择 手段地让患者迷上这种高度成瘾的产品。

While the economic burden of opioids on the US economy to date has surpassed over a trillion dollars, the real issue with opioids has actually been the lack of control over how they were prescribed.

2018年，美国各地的医疗服务提供者带 来了超过1.91亿张阿片类止痛药的处方。 尽管指南将阿片类药物限制为管理大多数 慢性疼痛的第一方法，但一项研究发现， 初级保健临床医生开出的处方中，涵盖美 国所有阿片类药物处方的45%。

虽然迄今为止，阿片类药物对美国经济造 成的经济负担已经超过了一万亿美元，但 阿片类药物的真正问题其实是缺乏对处方 开立的控制。

“ Responsible dispensation has to be the absolute pillar of any sort of pain relief medication ”

“负责任的配药必 须是任何一种止痛 药的绝对支柱”

This brings us to the phenomenon that was instrumental in unleashing the evil that we now know as pill mills. Typically operating as a last mile for an opioid manufacturer, usually in small towns - they became either an indiscriminately prescribing base, where opioids were stocked and shipped to various parts of the country, or a sort of an off-label drug-den where people would drive out to and buy the opioids they wanted. What this allowed for, was the skirting of regulationessentially making millions of people opioid addicts.

Opioids peddlers are in cahoots with unscrupulous doctors – and with absolutely no oversight were able to create a catastrophic set of events that has killed more people every year then car crashes, gun violence, or any other drugs in America.

Over the last year and a half city state and federal government have woken up to this and legal action has been taken - from criminal charges against doctors and clinics, rehabilitation facilities, and alternative pain medication.

Medical cannabis has been one of the ways to provide pain relief to over 90% of situations where opioids have been prescribed. There is a lot of euphoria around the medical cannabis industry – some reports suggest there is 40 to $45 billion worth of market size to be achieved by 2025.

With the emergence of medical cannabis for pain relief I feel we have a chance to do pain relief right. Being a medical product, it is critical that the medical profession is involved in dispensation. While not nearly as addictive or addictive at all, especially when compared to the opioid that they are looking to replace, it is still critical that they are responsibly dispensed.

While the topic of using the blockchain is not something new - in the case of cannabis it has found popularity in western markets as a “strain tracer”. However, the blockchain could play a much, much larger role in the responsible dispensation of medical cannabis. I will

share with you our own experience in India. India is no stranger to chronic pain. Hundreds of millions live everyday with pain and have often no way to deal with it. A lot of the opioid players banned elsewhere have made a beeline into India. A similar US type opioid crisis is looming in certain states of India with the same mix of unscrupulous clinics, off label sales and marketing push.

This was the reason why we decided to build Hempstreet. Our aim is to provide responsibly dispensed cannabis-based medication primarily aimed at alleviating the pain relief crisis that exists in India and stop in its tracks any sort of opioid crisis that may try to gain a foothold.

While we were not the first entrant1 into the medical cannabis industry in India, we are definitely the largest in terms of clinic footprint and by far the most sophisticated in terms of responsible dispensation. In an industry where fake e- prescriptions are rife and off label use is not uncommon, we have taken it upon ourselves to do this the right way.

Right from the onset we decided we’d have to build based on the learnings from what we have seen with the opioid crisis globally. Responsible dispensation has to be the absolute pillar of any sort of pain relief medication.

It is with this in mind that we have deployed right from the start a blockchain-based solution to be able to track our products right from raw material through the manufacturing process all the way through to our doctor network, to ensure that there are absolutely no pill mills and that our products are 100% responsibly dispensed. The idea is to make sure that this self-regulation insulates us from loose dispensation and becomes an industry standard.

As we scale this across our partner network of over 60,000 doctors, we hope that this deployment would be a case example for companies around the world and more importantly we will have a large impact in our mission to fight the pain relief crisis. The future is integrative and absolutely must be Patient First.

In conclusion I would say the blockchain has a tremendous role to play in the medical profession and the question we must all ask ourselves as members of the medical industry, are we really keeping it honest?

“ A similar US type opioid crisis is looming in certain states of India with the same mix of unscrupulous clinics, off label sales and marketing push ”

这让我们想到了，释放这种邪恶（我们现在所知的药厂） 背后的重要现象。阿片类药物制造商的最后一站通常是在 小城镇——它们成为一个滥开处方的基地，阿片类药物被 存放在那里，并运往全国各地，或是作为某种无标示药物 的窝点，人们会开车去那里购买他们想要的阿片类药物。 这允许了规避监管——本质上使数以百万计的人对阿片类 药物成瘾。

阿片类药物贩子与无良医生勾结——绝对没有任何监督， 因而制造出一系列灾难性事件，每年造成的人口死亡更胜 车祸、枪支暴力或美国其他任何药物。

在过去一年半的时间里，城市州和联邦政府已经醒悟，并 采取了法律行动——通过对医生和诊所、康复设施和替代 性疼痛药物的刑事指控下手。

及。然而，区块链可以在负责任地配剂医用大麻上发挥更 大的作用。我将分享我们自己在印度的经验。

印度对慢性疼痛并不陌生。数亿人每天都生活在疼痛之 中，而且往往没有办法处理。很多在其他地方被禁止的阿 片类药物都已经进入了印度。与美国类似的阿片类药物危 机正逼近印度的某些州，同样混合了无良诊所、无标签销 售和营销推广。

这就是我们决定建立Hempstreet的原因。我们的目标是提 供负责可靠大麻药物配剂，主要目的在于缓解印度现有的 止痛危机，并阻止任何可能试图立足的阿片类药物危机。

虽然我们不是印度医疗大麻产业的第一个参与者，但就诊 所足迹而言，我们绝对是最大的，而且在可靠负责的配药 方面，我们也是迄今为止最成熟的。在这个假电子处方泛 滥、无标签药品用并不罕见的产业中，我们以正确的方式 来做这件事。

从一开始我们就决定，我们必须基于自己从全球阿片类药 物危机中所看到的经验教训来建立。负责任的配药必须是 任何一种止痛药的绝对支柱。

在超过90%开立阿片类药物处方的情况下，医用大麻一直 是提供疼痛缓解的方法之一。围绕医用大麻产业，有很多 的令人振奋的消息——有报告显示，到2025年将达到价值 400到450亿美元的市场规模。

随着缓解疼痛的医用大麻的出现，我觉得，我们有机会正 确地缓解疼痛。作为一种医疗产品，将药物配剂纳入医疗 产业至关重要。虽然几乎、甚至完全没有成瘾性，特别是 与其欲取代的阿片类药物相比，但负责任地配药仍然是关 键要点。

虽然区块链使用的话题并不新鲜了——就大麻的例子而 言，它已经作为 “压力示踪物”　在西方市场上得到了普

正是考虑到这一点，我们从一开始就部署了一个基于区块 链的解决方案，以便能够追踪我们的产品，从原材料到生 产过程，一直到我们的医生网络，以确保绝对没有药厂介 入，我们的产品是100%负责可靠地分配。我们的想法是 要保证这种自我监管，使我们免受散装药的影响，并成为 产业标准。

当我们在超过6万名医生的合作伙伴网络中进行推广时， 我们希望这种部署能成为全球公司的案例，更重要的是， 我们将在对抗止痛危机的使命中产生巨大影响。未来是综 合性的，绝对要做到患者至上。

最后我想说，区块链在医疗产业有巨大的作用，作为医 疗产业一员，我们都必须问自己一个问题，我们是否真的 保持诚实了？

“与美国类似的阿片类药物危 机正逼近印度的某些州，同 样混合了无良诊所、无标签 销售和营销推广”

AIBC

In line with a strong interest in tech and the growing value for companies looking to move into up-and-coming gaming markets, Malta is a leading hub for digital innovation and business, and carries a long-standing reputation for pulling off excellent networking events. The Maltese islands have remained remarkably resilient and nimble throughout the constantly changing regulatory environment - making this solid ground for this year’s Europe show.

AIBC Europe also makes up part of Malta Week - an idea culminating in a week-long series of networking events across complementary verticals in gaming, digital health and affiliate marketing.

EMERGING TECH STARTUP PITCH

The AIBC Summit is all about the future of the emerging tech sector, and our Emerging Tech Startup Pitch is the answer to keeping up with this innovative industry. For the past two years more than 200 startups have benefitted from this platform. Over 100 companies based in AI, Blockchain, Quantum Tech, FinTech, Big Data, and IoT will be selected to showcase their products and initiatives throughout the event. Each startup selected will have a 1x1m booth at the AIBC Summit. The selected 100 will also have the opportunity to be surrounded by top investors and mentors, being invited to lavish networking dinners as well as benefitting from online exposure. However, the Emerging Tech Startup Pitch is only open to startup companies, meaning recently launched startups that aren’t supported by a public company. The competition keeps getting fiercer as only the best 10, as decided by an independent panel of judges, will make it through to the Pitch during the final leg of the Summit. Taking part guarantees valuable insights and critical feedback from the judges although the prize package will give just one lucky startup a massive head start when it comes to expanding their business plans.

An IRRESISTIBLE and DISRUPTIVE FORCE 不可抗拒的颠覆性力量

LLOYD PURSER SITS DOWN WITH KEVIN SANTY TO DISCUSS HOW A NEW GENERATION OF PLAYERS ARE SHAKING THINGS UP. FROM PLAY-TO-EARN GAMES AND NFTS – BLOCKCHAIN IS SET TO DISRUPT THE GAMING SECTOR.

Lloyd Purser与Kevin Santy坐下来，讨论新一代玩家如何撼动一切。从play-toearn（边玩边赚）种类游戏到NFT，区块链将颠覆游戏产业。

THE DIVERSITY OF USE CASES OF BLOCKCHAIN IS CLEARLY AN ICEBERG AT THE MOMENT AND FUNFAIR HAS SHOWN ITS APPLICABILITY FOR GAMES. WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE IN PRACTICE?

The immediate future for games and blockchain is very much in the “play to earn” category. This is a clear use case enabling disruption where blockchain technology trumps the existing tech. Through a play to earn mechanic, a player creates value through absolute ownership of assets.

Playing games and earning/winning valuable items is not new. It’s been around in the free to play gaming market for a while now. The differentiator that blockchain offers decentralisation, the asset earned by the player is owned by the player and can be traded P2P in a decentralised marketplace.

Looking at this in practice, the most popular play-to-earn game in blockchain right now is Axie Infinity. Players can “buy in” or “earn in” to the game through play. Axie Infinity has +2m players worldwide. Yet the phenomenon is that they’ve

opened up new income streams for many players, especially in markets like the Philippines and Venezuela, where many players are now earning more playing Axie than they through their occupations.

This enables game developers in the decentralised world to flip traditional thinking on its head by not solely focusing on driving value from players in the game but focusing on how the game can deliver value to players. I believe this mindset change will make blockchain an irresistible and disruptive force in gaming in years to come.

区块链用例的多样性目前显然是一座冰山，而 FunFair已经显示了区块链也适用于游戏。将区块 链实行于游戏中是什么样的情况？

游戏与区块链近期的前景在很大程度上属于playto-earn的范畴。这是区块链技术表现出超越现有 技术的颠覆性的一个明显例子。在play-to-earn 机制中，玩家通过对资产的绝对所有权创造出了 价值。

通过玩游戏赚取/赢得有价物品并非新鲜事，这在 免费游戏市场上已经存在了一段时间。区块链带 来的区别在于去中心化，玩家赚取的资产归玩家所 有，可以在一个去中心化的市场上进行P2P交易。

让我们看看现行状况，现在区块链中最流行的 play-to-earn类型游戏是Axie Infinity。玩家可以在 游戏中 “买进” 或 “赚进”。Axie Infinity在全 球拥有超过200万玩家，该游戏形成了新现象，为 许多玩家开辟了新的收入来源，特别是在菲律宾 和委内瑞拉等市场，许多玩家玩Axie的收入高出自 身的职业收入。

这使去中心化世界的游戏开发者能够颠覆传统思 维，不再只关注于游戏中推动玩家价值，而是关 注游戏如何为玩家提供价值。我相信这种思维方 式的改变将使区块链在未来几年内成为游戏界不 可抗拒的颠覆性力量。

FunFair将iGaming从沉闷的老虎机游戏提升成了 复杂的多人游戏体验。如果它变得有点过度好玩 了呢？赌博游戏化如何与玩家保护相配合？

我永远不会说老虎机沉闷！如果你喜欢玩老虎机， 有一些奇妙的游戏和机制可以让你玩得很开心。我 们已决定不想在老虎机领域中竞争，那是个非常成 熟且饱和的市场，已经有大量的优秀内容。

FUNFAIR HAS STEPPED UP IGAMING FROM DULL SLOTS TO COMPLEX MULTIPLAYER EXPERIENCES. WHAT IF IT GETS A LITTLE TOO FUN? HOW DOES GAMBLING GAMIFICATION PAIR UP WITH PLAYER PROTECTION?

I would never say that slots are dull! If you like playing slots, there are some fantastic games and mechanics out there to enjoy playing. We decided that we didn’t want to compete in the slots arena. There’s already a huge amount of excellent content in a very mature and saturated market. We saw a new style of multiplayer to single outcome games, like crash, kicking off in the crypto space and decided to bring this and other formats to the regulated gaming world.

The games we produce are community-driven, highly engaging, yet very simple to understand. We do that on purpose to attract a new type of player into the regulated gaming space. So, if we can capture some of that anonymous, illegal, and unprotected player base into regulated operators, that’s a good thing for player protection.

Also, when it comes to the games themselves, our betting rounds are longer than slots, so we are not enabling players to bet more. One of the reasons our games do play longer is that we add gamification to create more of a community feel, focusing on collaboration and or competition. This is not aimed at driving higher losses or quicker play, just a more community-based experience, which many gamblers are looking for.

BUT IT’S NOT JUST FUN AND GAMES AT FUNFAIR, HOW ARE YOUR EXPERIMENTS COMING UP IN THE FUNFAIR LABS?

TELL US A BIT ABOUT NFT INGAME ASSETS.

As mentioned in answering the first question, play to earn

“ This is a clear use case enabling disruption where blockchain technology trumps the existing tech ”

mechanics in the casual/skill-based gaming space will disrupt the market. We do not doubt that. We have a play to earn, NFT-based racing game in development right now. In contrast to much of what’s out there now, it will be aimed at a wider audience than the current crop of blockchain gamers. We’re developing a user experience that will give non-blockchain savvy players the opportunity to play, earn, own and trade decentralised assets. We’re also looking at the interoperability of our NFTs across more than a single game and we add more to our portfolio. Blockchain gaming

is a fascinating place to be right now, and we cannot wait to share the plans and concepts for launch in the coming weeks.

THE BLOCKCHAIN AND IGAMING INDUSTRY HAVE BEEN FLIRTING FOR A VERY LONG TIME, WHILE FUNFAIR IS ONE OF THE MAJOR MAKERS OF ACTUAL BRIDGES. WHAT ARE YOU PREDICTIONS FOR THE FUTURE ON HOW THE SECTORS WILL INTERMINGLE?

There’s a clear use case for using blockchain in responsible gambling, KYC

and regulatory affairs. A real-time, open, distributed ledger of player transactions that regulators can interrogate as required could give immediate benefits to players, operators, and regulators.

There is potential for other blockchain use cases, like NFTs, but it’s not an immediate slam dunk like it is in casual gaming. I do not doubt that the benefits of blockchain tech will become part of the fabric of iGaming at some point in the coming years, but with high levels of regulation, it will be a slower process than lesser regulated areas.

我们看到了多人游戏到单一结果游戏的新风格，如Crash游戏，开始在 加密空间中流行，并决定将此以及其他格式引进受监管的游戏世界。

我们制作的游戏以社区为驱动力，具有高度参与性，但非常简单易 懂。我们这样做是为了吸引新型玩家进入受监管的游戏领域。如果 我们能吸引一些匿名、非法而不受保护的玩家群体前往受监管的运 营商，这对玩家保护来说是件好事。

此外，谈到游戏本身，我们的投注回合比老虎机长，因此我们并没 有让玩家投注更多。我们的游戏确实玩得比较长，其中一个原因是 我们增加了游戏化元素以创造更多的社区氛围，注重于合作和/或竞

争。这不是为了带来更高额损失或增加游戏速度，只是一种更基于 社区的体验，这也是许多玩家正在寻找的。

但在FunFair不仅有乐趣和游戏。FunFair实验室的实验进展如何？告 诉我们一些关于游戏内NFT资产的情况吧。

正如在回答第一个问题时提到的，play to earn机制将颠覆休闲/技 能型游戏领域市场。我们对这点毫无怀疑。我们现正开发一款基于 NFT的play to earn赛车游戏。相较于现有的许多游戏，这款游戏将 针对比目前区块链游戏玩家更广泛的受众。我们正在开发一种用户 体验，让不懂区块链的玩家有机会玩、赚、拥有和交易去中心化资

产。我们也关注自家NFT在多于一种游戏中的互操作性，我们会在投 资组合中加入更多游戏。现今的区块链游戏是个迷人的地方，我们 迫不及待地想在未来几周内分享推出的计划和概念。

区块链和iGaming业已经酝酿很长时间的互动了，而FunFair是建立 两造之间桥梁的主力之一。你对这两个领域未来会如何交融有什么 预测？

区块链在责任博弈、KYC和监管事务中的采用有明确的用例。推出一 个实时、开放且去中心化的玩家交易账本，让监管者可以根据需要 进行查询，这可以给玩家、运营商和监管者带来直接的好处。

其他区块链用例也有潜力，比如NFT，但这不像休闲游戏那样可以获 得立即的大成功。区块链技术的好处会在未来几年的某个时候成为 iGaming结构的一部分，对于这点我并不怀疑，但由于监管水平高， 区块链的采用过程将会比监管力度较低的领域更慢。

“这是区块链技术表现出超 越现有技术的颠覆性的一 个明显例子”

Brave NEW World 勇敢新世界

MARIA DEBRINCAT SITS DOWN WITH DANIEL SANTOS TO DISCUSS HOW WOONKLY IS BRIDGING THE TRADITIONAL WORLD WITH A NEW DECENTRALIZED FINANCIAL VISION.

BLOCK杂志采访了DANIEL SANTOS，讨论Woonkly 如何将新的去中心化金融愿景衔接传统世界。

HOW IS WOONKLY LABS BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN BLOCKCHAIN AND THE TRADITIONAL WORLD?

Woonkly is creating bridges between the tranditional world and a newly evolving economy with decentralised financial movements. Concurrently building a new economic world, yet still complying with all current regulations, applying KYV and AML regulations, so as not to break the rules of the traditional market. Alongside all this we are a major player in the new finance, based on blockchain technology.

YOUR FOCUS IS QUITE DIVERSE, FROM DEFI TO NFT’S, WHICH TRENDS ARE LOOKING TO DISRUPT THE MARKET OVER THE NEXT YEARS TO COME?

Absolutely, this technology is moving forward at an impressive speed, a few months ago DeFi was born and, even more recent was the explosion of NFT and crypto-art. Already we are on another great evolutionary path that will merge all blockchain technologies, DeFi and NFTs, converging in metaverses that will result in the creation of new gamified financial structures integrated into virtual worlds. There will be no limit to its almost infinite growth, without the limitations of the real world.

Woonkly Labs如何弭平区块链与传统世界之 间的鸿沟？

Woonkly正在传统世界与去中心化的金融行为 等新的经济演变之间打造一座桥梁，同时建立 一个新的经济世界，但遵守现有的所有法规， 实行KYC与所有反洗钱规定，在不打破任何传 统市场规则的情况下，得以作为以区块链技术 为基础的新兴金融主要参与者。

你们的关注面向蛮多元的，从DeFi到NFT接涵 盖在内，哪些趋势预期将在近年内颠覆市场？ 这种技术绝对正在以令人惊讶的速度向前迈 进， DeFi在数个月前诞生，而NFT与加密艺术 的爆炸性热潮更是在最近兴起。我们已经走在 另一个伟大的演化道路上，所有的区块链技 术、DeFi与NFT将融合，汇流成为元宇宙，最 终创造出新的游戏化金融结构体，整合进虚拟 世界。没有真实世界的限制，这种近乎无限的 增长将无可限量。

Woonkly is already working on lots of games related to metaverses, developing alongside some of the next big successes of the play to earn industry and many more options that are opening up in this gamification of the decentralized economy.

WITH A MARKET CAP OF MORE THAN $100M YOUR TOKEN WOOP IS LISTED ON 5 EXCHANGES, WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TO BE YOUR BIGGEST COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN THIS MARKET?

The biggest advantage is that we are the only DeFi that is compliant with the regulatory requirements of KYC and AML, and that looks likely to be the regulated project necessary to become the gateway for FIAT from the traditional world to link to the crypto world and so on, with tools that allow regulatory traceability and tax compliance to help its users.

Thanks to that, we will have the direct option to enter and exit the crypto world, quickly and automatically, complying with all relevant regulatory requirements.

THE NEW WOONKLY BLOCKCHAIN IS A FAST AND RELIABLE BLOCKCHAIN WITH THE LOWEST GAS FEES. TELL US MORE ABOUT HOW CLIENTS CAN BUILD THEIR OWN PRODUCTS ON TOP OF YOUR GAME-CHANGING AND UNIQUE WOONKLY CHAIN.

Thanks to the fact that our platform will be compatible with numerous blockchains such as BSC, Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, or Avalanche, all projects to be carried out on these blockchains will be 100% compatible with Woonkly labs.

Our platform also aims to be compatible with the most important blockchains of the blockchain ecosystem in the coming months, thus facilitating the integration and expansion of projects based on a particular blockchain, to be larger, thanks to the bridges that will be used in Woonkly labs and exponentially expanding its ambit of usability and application.

HOW DO YOU AIM TO INVEST IN CRYPTO STARTUPS AND HELP THEM SUCCEED?

We believe that the way to travel for the development of an idea or a product is usually very hard and with many obstacles that cause businessmen to give up and crash several times due to those obstacles.

Woonkly has already experienced that moment, and we trust in the necessity of helping other businessmen to achieve their success, enabling them to be part of that success by helping them directly to achieve it.

For that reason, we have created an accelerator of technological projects and a large investment fund, both focused on helping creators and businessmen. This is an accelerator that is already assessing numerous projects that need funding and mentoring to achieve their goals and that has already allocated ample funding for the development of these disruptive ideas.

WHAT WERE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES YOU ENCOUNTERED AS YOU LAUNCHED?

The biggest problems when launching a project are to get the necessary capital to be able to professionalise the team in charge of packaging the product. It is necessary to have a lot of human capital and to make the public aware of the importance of the objective and the product you want to launch.

Having the focus on doing the best possible and finding enough stability in the project has been key to the fortress of Woonkly and in being able to develop the idea.

“ We are the only DeFi that is accomplished with the regulatory requirements of KYC and AML ”

Woonkly已经着手开发许多与元宇宙相 关的游戏，同时与 “play to earn” 产 业中的一些大成功经验、以及在这个游 戏化的去中心化经济中更多的开放选择 共同发展。

你们的代币WOOP市值超过1亿美元，在 5家交易所上市。你认为你们在市场上最 具竞争力的优势在哪？

最大的优势是，我们是唯一完成了KYC和 反洗钱监管要求的DeFi，这看起来很可能 是成为法币从传统世界链接到加密世界等 网关所必需的监管项目，我们的工具允许 监管追踪和税务合规，用以帮助用户。

多亏了这点，我们将拥有出入加密货币 世界的直接选项，快速而自动，且达成 所有相关的监管要求。

新的Woonkly区块链是快速且可靠的区 块链，且矿工费低廉。请多与我们分 享客户如何能在你们改变性且独特的 Woonkly链上建立自己的产品。

由于我们的平台得以兼容如BSC、以太 坊、Polkadot、Solana或Avalanche等 数个区块链，所有将在这些区块链上进 行的项目都将与Woonkly实验室百分之 百兼容。

我们的平台也计划在未来几个月中兼容 内区块链生态系统中最重要的各个区块 链，而促进基于特定区块链的项目之整

合和扩展达到更大规模，这都多亏了 Woonkly实验室及将采用的桥梁，及其 可用性和应用范围的指数型扩大。

你的目标是如何投资加密货币初创企业 并帮助他们成功？

我们相信要发展一个点子或产品的历程 通常是十分艰难的，并且有诸多阻碍使 得企业家放弃、栽在这些阻碍上头。

Woonkly也遭遇过这样的时刻，并确信 帮助其他企业家达成自身的成功是必须 的，通过直接帮助他们获得成功，使他 们能够成为成功的一部分。

出于这个原因，我们创建了一个技术项 目加速器和一个大型投资基金，两者皆 专注于帮助创作人和业者。该加速器已 经在评估众多需要资金和指导以实现其 目标的项目，并已为这些颠覆性想法的 发展分配了充足的资金。

你们在推出时遇到的最大挑战是什么？

在启动一个项目时，最大的问题是获得 必要的资本、使负责包装产品的团队专 业化。拥有大量的人力资本，并让公众 意识到你要推出的目标和产品的重要性 是必须的。

专注于尽可能地做得最好，并在项目中 找到足够的稳定性，是Woonkly这座堡 垒以及该想法得以发展的关键。

“我们是唯一完成了KYC和反 洗钱监管要求的DeFi”

TRUST, EDUCATION, AND EASE OF USE 信任、教育与易用性

CEO JAMES GALE BELIEVES CASH IS A DYING TREND. HE SITS DOWN WITH BLOCK MAGAZINE FOR AN INTERVIEW ON HOW KODA CRYPTOCURRENCY IS SET TO REGAIN THE TRUST OF THE MASSES AND REVOLUTIONISE THE FUTURE OF FINANCE.

首席执行官James Gale认为现金是一种即将消失的趋势。他接受BLOCK杂志采访，

分享Koda加密货币如何重新获得大众的信任，并彻底改变金融的未来。

TAKE US THROUGH KODA CRYPTOCURRENCY’S JOURNEY SO FAR, HOW DID YOU GET STARTED AND WHERE ARE YOU HEADING?

I had been interested in the world of crypto for a while and learned that there is a vast lack of trust in something that is so advanced, powerful and which I believe is the future - cash is a dying trend.

This is how Koda Cryptocurrency first began back in May 2021, we wanted to build it around our core values, T.E.E. – Trust, Education, and Ease of Use. We are building a cross platform decentralised exchange and a never seen before staking model, rectifying the wrongs of previous tokens, and gaining back trust from the masses.

YOUR BUSINESS MODEL IS BASED AROUND TRUST, EDUCATION, AND EASE OF USE. TELL US MORE.

So, after seeing some obvious (and not so obvious) rug pulls and watching people get scammed out of their seed phrases, I wanted to do something about this, hence the creation of T.E.E.

TRUST - We do this by being as transparent as possible, including being open about mistakes we make and

rectifying them - therefore we are moving from V1 to V2 to fix the potential issues, burn all the excess tokens and make it better for everyone. This was based and acted on after we volunteered and paid Hashex for a full audit of our contract, V2 will be released this November!

EDUCATION - we have physical offices where we carry out sessions to educate people on how to trade Koda and other tokens safely. We will also help people research into a coin and show what we would look for to help educate them into make an informed decision when investing.

EASE (OF USE) - Crypto can be difficult at times to say the least. You find a project you want to invest in and you have your card there and just want to buy.

Then you have to work out how to deposit your fiat currency on centralised exchange, to transfer to a mainstream crypto (eg smart chain), send to an external wallet, navigate to a DEX like pancake swap, to link your wallet, find the right token address before finally swapping the token, not taking into account slippage rates and the amount of steps there are for potential errors! This is not attractive to the community, so we are working night and day with some incredibly skilled developers to simplify this process and make it as easy as one, two, three!

DESPITE A SURGE IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO, CRYPTO HAS YET TO REPLACE OR EVEN COMPETE WITH TRADITIONAL FIAT CURRENCIES. WHAT’S HOLDING THE FINANCIAL REVOLUTION BACK?

We feel it’s the lack of knowledge and understanding of crypto. It’s about trying to get people to understand that wealth is possible, knowledge is power and not to fear what they do not yet understand.

I’VE HEARD YOU HAVE AN AWESOME OFFICE SPACE, HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS TO IMPROVING RETENTION AMONGST EMPLOYEES?

Yes we do! It’s cool, comfortable, fun, and modern. But to be honest, I don’t think the style of the offices really matters for our employees as they know how good the project is and they know the direction of where we are going. It does help that we have a foosball table and an 8-pack gaming PC for staff to use when on breaks or after work!

YOU’RE GIVING AWAY LAMBORGHINIS... HOW CAN I GET MY HANDS ON ONE?

Easy peasy! Get your hands on some Koda and then enter your details on our website for your free entry! So many other cryptocurrency tokens have claimed to do this and as far as I am aware, never actually have. So as with everything we do, we decided to do what we say. We have the Lambo at our offices if anyone would like to see it! We are giving away one Lambo and 2 Nissan GTRs!

COMMUNITY IS A WORD THAT COMES UP OFTEN WHEN TALKING ABOUT KODA - HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO YOUR BRAND VALUES?

It’s huge. The community we have is incredible and the way they support each other is fantastic. It supports the brand values as we see ourselves as a people’s token and that is what we are truly working towards.

YOU’RE ALSO PUTTING A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON EDUCATING YOUR COMMUNITY...

Of course, whether they decide to invest in Koda, another token or not at all. It’s important that decision comes from them, they know the risks involved and they know how to avoid being scammed.

ANYTHING EXCITING IN THE PIPELINE THAT YOU CAN SHARE WITH US, WHAT ARE YOUR LONG-TERM PLANS?

Taking over the world! Our long-term plans are to crypto the un’cryptoed. Earn the trust of the masses. Educate them and make it easier for everyone to trade. The more people we can help, the better.

AND FINALLY - WHY SHOULD WE INVEST IN $KODA?

If the above isn’t enough for you, come in and see it all for yourself.

“ It’s about trying to get people to understand that wealth is possible, knowledge is power and not to fear what they do not yet understand ”

带我们了解一下Koda加密货币迄今为止的 发展历程，你们是如何开始的，前进方向 是什么？

我对加密货币的世界感兴趣有一段时间 了，并了解到人们对如此先进、强大的 东西极度缺乏信任，我认为加密货币是未 来——而现金是一种垂死的趋势。

这就是Koda加密货币始于2021年5 月之因，我们希望围绕自身的核心价 值 “T.E.E”——信任（Trust）、教 育（Education）和易用性（Ease of Use）——来建立Koda加密货币。

我们正在建立一个跨平台的去中心化交易 所，以及前所未见的赌注模式，改正过往 代币的错误，并赢回大众的信任。

你们的商业模式以信任、教育和易用性为 中心展开。请多说明一些。

这个嘛，在看到一些明显的（还有部份经 过包装的）骗局，以及一些人们在种子阶 段被骗后，我想对这种情形做些什么，因 此创建了T.E.E。

信任（Trust）：我们通过尽可能透明的 方式来做到这一点，包括公开我们所犯的 错误并纠正这些错误——因此，我们将从 第一版转到第二版以解决潜在的问题，烧 掉所有多余的代币，使其对每个人都更 好。这出于我们自愿，我们也已经付款请 Hashex对我们的合同进行全面审计，而后 采取行动，第二版将在今年11月发布！

教育（Education）：我们有实体办公室， 我们在这些空间开展课程，教育人们如何 安全地交易Koda和其他代币。我们也会帮 助人们研究币种，并向人们示范我们会着 眼的指标，以帮助教育他们在投资时做出 明智的决定。

易用性（Ease of Use）：我们至少可以说 加密货币有时很难懂。你找到一个自己想

投资的项目，你有卡，而且你只是想买进。

然后，你必须处理整个过程：将你的法定 货币存入集中式交易所、转移到主流加密 货币（如智能链）、发送到外部钱包、移 转到如PancakeSwap等的去中心化交易 所、链接你的钱包，在终于要交换代币之 前找到正确的代币地址——以上还没有考 虑到滑动率和可能犯错的几个步骤！这个 的复杂流程对社区没有吸引力。所以，我 们与一些技术精湛的开发人员合作，不眠 不休地努力简化这一过程，让它就像数到 三一样简单！

尽管加密货币在过去一年左右的时间里激 增，但还没有取代传统的法定货币，甚至 仍未能与之竞争。是什么阻碍了这种金融 革命的发展？

我们觉得主因是缺乏对加密货币的认识和 了解。这全然关乎于尝试让人们明白财富 的可能性、知识就是力量，不要害怕自己 还不了解的东西。

我听说你们有一个很棒的办公空间，这对 提高员工的留存率有多重要？

没错！我们的办公空间很酷、很舒适， 很有趣而且很现代。但说实话，我认为办 公室的风格对我们的员工来说并不重要， 因为员工们了解我们努力的这个项目有多 好，他们知道我们前进的方向。但我们有 一个桌上足球台和一台8-pack游戏电脑供 员工在休息或下班后使用，这确实有所 助益！

你们目前在赠送兰博基尼——我要如何才 能得到一辆？

这很简单! 拥有一些Koda，然后在我们的 网站上输入你的详细信息，就可以免费参 加活动。曾有许多其他加密代币都声称送 出名车，但据我所知，他们实际上从未真 的做到。因此，我们决定说到做到，正如 我们一直以来那样。如果有人想看的话， 我们的办公室里有台兰博！我们将送出一 辆兰博和两辆日产GTR！

在谈论Koda的过程中，社区是一个经常出 现的词，这对你们的品牌价值有多重要？ 这有巨大的重要性。我们拥有令人难以置信 的社区，他们有非常好的相互支持方式。该 社区支持品牌价值，因为我们将自己视为 人们的代币，这也是我们真正努力的方向。

你们也非常重视对社区进行教育...... 当然，无论他们是否决定要投资Koda或其 它代币，亦或是根本不打算投资。重要的 是，决定权在于他们，人们了解其中的风 险，并知道如何避免受骗上当。

你们有什么令人兴奋的内容可以和我们分 享吗，你们有哪些长期计划？

占领世界！我们的长期计划是将那些尚未 接触加密货币者进入加密世界。还有赢得 大众的信任。教育大众，让每个人都能更 容易地进行交易。我们能帮助的人越多， 就越好。

最后一个问题，我们为什么要投资于 $KODA？

如果以上内容还无法说服你，那么，请进 来亲自看看这一切。

“这全然关乎于尝试让人们明白财富 的可能性、知识就是力量，不要害怕 自己还不了解的东西”

BRIDGING the GAP

弥合隔阂

BLOCK SPEAKS TO AIBC STARTUP PITCH WINNERS, PALLETPAL, ON THEIR VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF SHIPPING AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN THE MENA REGION AND BEYOND.

BLOCK采访了AIBC初创企业擂台的获胜者PalletPal，分享他们 对中东和北非地区未来航运和供应链管理的看法。

CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING THE STARTUP PITCH HELD IN DUBAI THIS MAY - WHAT DO YOU THINK GAVE YOU AN EDGE OVER OTHER PARTICIPANTS?

It was already a privilege to have been selected as finalists, so this was the icing on the cake. We were all very pleased with the outcome. It’s an honor to have been among a crowd of talented entrepreneurs, many of whom were building groundbreaking solutions in their respective industries.

When it comes to boosting your chances of winning these types of competitions, it’s best to practice communicating your product or solution in a clean, simple, and concise manner. You have 3 minutes to wow a panel of 4 highly experienced investors - so it’s best not to get bogged down in the details. This allows you to shine by telling your story and showcasing how well you understand your ecosystem and capabilities.

恭喜你们赢得了今年5月在迪拜举行的初创企业擂 台——你们认为是什么让你们比其他参与者更有优 势？

能获选进入决赛已经很荣幸了，赢得擂台更是锦上 添花。我们都对这个结果感到非常满意。能在一群 才华横溢的创业家中脱颖而出是一种荣誉，他们其 中的许多人都正在各自的行业中建立突破性的解决 方案。

要想提高自己赢得这类比赛的机会，最好的做法是 练习以干净例落、简明扼要的方式来传达你的产品 或解决方案。你仅有3分钟的时间让4位经验丰富的 投资者赞叹不已——所以最好不要在细节上钻牛角 尖。讲述你的故事，同时展示你对本身的生态系统 及能力的理解，这么做将能使你大放异彩。

与蒂姆·德雷珀（Tim Draper）合作是什么感觉？ 你打算如何投资你的奖金，你是否有任何新项目 计划？

那绝对是不可思议的经验！蒂姆·德雷珀和他的团队 一直令人精神振奋，并且给予了许多刺激。我们期 待着与Draper Associates及其优秀的员工建立一个 持久、互利的关系。

我们计划利用这些资金将自身的产品与运营能力提升 一个层次。这表示我们将招聘正确的开发人员与运营 团队，并且在对的技术上进行投资，以达到服务传递 的新标准。五们也打算利用这些资金开始试行一些我 们更具影响力的增值服务。长期以来，物流领域一直 是高度分散的，消费者或托运人总是需要为他们供应 链运作中的每一项所需行动寻找数家孤立的服务提供 商。我们也希望通过弭平独立却互相依赖的各项服务 之间的隔阂，能够消除部份的障碍。

请与我们分享一下你对中东和其他地区航运和供应 链管理的未来有何看法。

供应链的未来植根于完全透明、高速以及最高效 率。我们已经看到在许多产业中，消费者已经习 惯了卓越运营的新标准，这给落伍者——如物流 业——带来了压力并开始追赶上来。PalletPal的目 标是实现这一愿景，达到这些新的标准，并在我们 未来的旅程中制定下一个标准。在未来，我们希望 成为企业管理其端到端供应链运作的首选平台—— 无论是通过自动化运输决策，重新调整采购决策， 还是优化贸易路线。

区块链技术已经成为一些行业的重要颠覆力量。利 用DLT背后的技术将如何彻底改变物流业，又有哪 些关键的好处？

区块链技术将在颠覆物流领域方面发挥关键作用， 这越来越明显。虽然某些协议、实验和试点项目已

经提点了一些物流业将借此受益的用例，但哪些将 在实体供应链中实行目前还没有定论。在未来的几 年里，我们将开始看到一些非同寻常的实验成为现 实，并开始大规模革新这个行业。

以PalletPal这个案例来说，虽然我们之中有许多人 都是区块链爱好者，但我们试图回避寻找区块链可 以解决的问题。相反，我们尝试了解客户所面临的 问题根源，并找到最能解决这一特定瓶颈的解决方 案。许多托运人发现，由于承运人集装箱价格的剧 烈波动，他们很难在全年准确预算与贸易有关的财 务。我们正在探索将DLT作为为我们的客户解决这 个问题的一种方法。

你们的平台提供什么样的服务？

PalletPal为企业提供了传统货运的替代方案。通过 我们的API和技术平台，托运人可以通过我们用户友 好界面的请求货运报价，从众多值得信赖的物流供 应商那里收到多个报价，并通过动态信用条款、保 险和海关代理等增值服务轻松启动货运。我们提供 的服务具有最大程度的谨慎和透明度。

这意味着没有模糊的报价，没有隐藏费用......你所见 的就是支付的内容。一旦货运开始执行，客户可以 坐下来实时追踪他们的货物，并进行自身分析，而 我们则负责其余的工作。我们的产品帮助托运人减 少采购周转时间和运营费用，同时也消除了不得不 掌握复杂的货运过程的头痛问题。

我们提供一个多合一且易于使用的航运平台，正是 这点让我们与众不同。我们不受某些运输方式或供 应链中某一节点的个别运输活动约束，并且根据客 户和市场的需求来定制我们的服务项目和功能。在 PalletPal，我们奉行为客户建立、让客户决定解决 方案的古老口号。因此，我们采取了白板做法，试 图从头开始重塑运输过程，而未来的客户则是我们 的指路明灯。

“我们采取了白板做法，试图从头开始重塑运 输过程，而未来的客户则是我们的指路明灯”

WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE WORKING WITH TIM DRAPER? HOW DO YOU PLAN TO INVEST YOUR PRIZE, DO YOU HAVE ANY NEW PROJECTS PLANNED?

It’s been absolutely incredible! Tim Draper and the team have been nothing short of invigorating and stimulating. We look forward to building a lasting, mutually beneficial relationship with Draper Associates and its wonderful people.

We plan on using the funds to take our product and operational capabilities to the next level. That means hiring the right developer and operations teams, and investing in the right tech, to meet a new standard for service delivery. We also plan on leveraging the funds to begin piloting some of our more impactful value add services. For too long, the logistics space has been highly fragmented - customers or shippers always needed to find multiple siloed services providers for every required action within their supply chain operations. We hope to address some of these barriers as well, by bridging the gap between separate but interdependent services.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF SHIPPING AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND BEYOND.

The future of supply chain is one rooted in total transparency, high speed, and maximum efficiency. Across many industries, we’re seeing customers get accustomed to a new standard for operational excellence and this is putting pressure on laggards - such as the logistics sector - to start catching up. PalletPal aims to realize this vision, attain those new standards, and set the next ones throughout our journey into the future. Down the line, we aspire to become the go-to platform for companies to manage their end-to-end supply chain operations - be that by automating shipping

decisions, recalibrating sourcing decisions, or optimizing trade routes.

BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN AN IMPORTANT DISRUPTOR FOR A NUMBER OF INDUSTRIES. HOW WILL LEVERAGING THE TECH BEHIND DLTS REVOLUTIONISE THE LOGISTICS SECTOR - WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS?

It is becoming ever more evident that blockchain tech will play a crucial role in disrupting the logistics space. While certain protocols, experiments and pilot programs have hinted at a number of use cases by which the logistics industry will benefit, the jury’s still out on which ones will be realized in the physical supply chain. Over the coming couple of years, we’ll start seeing some of these extraordinary experiments come to life and begin to revolutionise the industry at scale.

find the solution that best resolves that particular bottleneck. Many shippers find it difficult to accurately budget their traderelated finances throughout the year as a result of dramatic fluctuations in carrier container prices. We’re exploring DLTs as a means towards solving that problem for our customers.

WHAT KIND OF SERVICES DOES YOUR PLATFORM OFFER?

PalletPal offers companies an alternative to traditional freight shipping. Through our API and tech-enabled platform, shippers can request freight quotes through our user-friendly interface, receive multiple offers from a multitude of trusted logistics providers, and initiate shipments with value add services such as dynamic credit terms, insurance, and customs brokerage with ease. We provide our services with the utmost level of care and transparency.

That means no murky quotes, no hidden fees... what you see is what you pay. Once a shipment has been initiated, customers can sit back, track their shipments in real time, and explore their analytics while we take care of the rest. Our product helps shippers reduce procurement turnaround time and operating expenses, while also eliminating the headache of having to navigate the convoluted process of freight shipping.

In PalletPal’s case, while many of us are blockchain enthusiasts, we try to shy away from finding a problem blockchain can solve. Rather, we try to understand the root of the problems that our customers face and

We differentiate ourselves by providing an all-in-one, easy-to-use platform for shipping. We’re not bound by certain modes of transport or individual shipment activities at a particular node in the supply chain. We tailor our service offerings and features to customer and market needs. Here at PalletPal, we live by the age old mantra of building solutions for the customer, by the customer. So we’ve taken a blank slate approach and tried to reinvent the shipping process from scratch, with prospective customers serving as our guiding light.

MOE’S CURATION

PASSION AND SUCCESS COME FROM THE MOST UNLIKELY PLACES, AND THIS STORY IS ONE OF THOSE. MOHAMMED CARRIM GANEY WAS JUST A KID WHEN HE BOUGHT HIS FIRST ANTMINER S7. HE SPOKE WITH JEREMY MICALLEF ABOUT HIS JOURNEY IN THE EMERGING TECH SPACE.

激情与成功来自最不可能之处，而这正是这样的一个故事。在买下他的第一 台Antminer S7矿机时，Mohammed Carrim Ganey仍是个孩子。他与来自 SiGMA集团的Jeremy Micallef分享了自身在新兴技术领域的经历。

Moe has exceeded expectations every step of the way. He is a serial entrepreneur with a deep passion for Blockchain technology, as evidenced by his years of success.

“Making crypto as simple as it should be is what I stand for,” he explained during our introductory call.

Mohammed Carrim Ganey has come a long way since mining crypto in his home, both in his business ventures and personal life. We can see this through the various organisations he set up and runs on a day-to-day basis.

True to the entrepreneur label, Moe has his fingers in many pies. His main focus is Curate, where he is the Co-Director, CFO and Blockchain Architect. Here he reconciled his passion for Blockchain by bridging the gap between emerging technology and traditional finance.

Moe described Curate as, “The only truly Gasless NFT marketplace that’s easy enough for your Grandad to use!”

Through his leadership, they are focusing on developing a proprietary and industry-leading blockchain called “X-Chain”, including having added designed and implemented an advanced payment flow for the Curate NFT app, and completely overlooked blockchain agnostic capabilities.

“The Metaverse is the future of the Internet,” Moe insisted, adding that X-Chain is “the future of blockchains, paving the way to instantaneous transactions and finality”.

Before this current venture, he founded and directed Jumeirah Capital, where he set up and managed a remote management VPN system built specifically for Bitmain Miners. Undoubtedly a nod and continuation from his introduction into mining in 2015 when he bought his first Antminer S7. Eventually, he grew to the point where he was receiving offers to sell, and even take the company public.

His passion took precedence over money, and he kept his baby close.

Moe踏出的每一步都超乎预期。他是一位连续 创业家，有着对区块链技术深深的热忱，他多 年的成功正是明证。

“让加密货币尽可能如它应当的那样简单，就 是我的立场。” 与我们的初次通话中他如此 解释道。

打从他在自己家中挖矿这一路以

来，Mohammed Carrim Ganey无论是在企业 或个人生活皆取得了长足的进步。我们可以通 过他设立且每日经营的数家机构看出这点。

Moe不愧对创业者的标签，涉足了许多领域。 他主要专注于Curate，他现为该公司的联合总 监、首席营销官与区块链架构师。他在这里藉 由弥合新兴技术与传统金融之间的断层，折服 于自身对区块链的热爱。

Moe将Curate描述为 “唯一真正的Gasless NFT市场，简单到你祖父都会用！”

在他的领导之下，他们专注在开发一个专有 且业界领先的区块链，称作 “X-Chain（X

链）”，包括为Curate NFT应用程序增加设计 和实施先进的支付流程，并有鸟瞰式的区块链 跨平台能力。

“元宇宙是互联网的未来，” Moe如此坚 称，并补充道X-Chain是 “区块链的未来，为 即时交易以及终局铺平了路。”

“ Making crypto as simple as it should be is what I stand for ”

Through our Freeway platform and EU regulated brokerage, AuBit Prime, we are bridging traditional and digital finance to become the first and only asset management platform in the world that gives users more of the assets they own through the redistribution of fees and revenues.

This, of course, without taking into consideration the innumerable awards and speaking engagements he’s been presented with since making waves in the industry. Amongst them, the Enterprise Blockchain Award 2021 –Blockchain Leadership Award and the Best Crypto Investor – Crypto Awards 2021. His speaking engagements are quite a joy to watch as well, particularly when he spoke at Bitcoin Africa and Synopsis 2021 Summit in Russia.

Moe has also been featured in a number of renowned publications, including the likes of Entrepreneur Magazine, The London Economic and Techtimes.

But, Moe isn’t all about innovation and climbing the ladder. True to his roots, he’s engaged in some notable charity

He’s co-founded, co-ordinated and lead the construction of over 2,000 wells in South Africa via his non-profit WaterRelief.org. On an individual level, he’s been spreading the good word of crypto to young crypto enthusiasts in the

Overall, Moe has an illustrious future ahead of him. His big break came, and he latched on and never let go, and the world will be a better place for it.

BLOCKCHAINBASED Foundation

AS THE FINTECH REVOLUTION SWEEPS ACROSS THE GLOBE, WHERE DO YOU SEE DUBAI STANDING AS A REGION?

Dubai for us is a truly special place. We consider Dubai as a small village and the community in this village has been very accommodating and receptive towards the blockchain technology expansion, not just in the region but across the globe.

Dubai, as it celebrates its Dubai Expo this year through March 2022, has been instrumental in highlighting major progress in the industry and will become, if not already, one of the iconic places to be for anything to do with the Blockchain Technology market.

There is still a lot of work that needs to be done as far as licensing and legal structuring in the region for blockchain-based companies, but overall progress is heading towards a very bright future for the sector and for the people in the industry. This is one of the reasons why the Ruby Family will also be legally incorporated in Dubai.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOUR COMPANY CAN DO TO HELP SHAPE THE INDUSTRY?

The Ruby Family is currently fully engaged in the blockchain technology sector as a liquidity provider to one of the biggest decentralised exchanges in the market which is UNISWAP. This is our way of helping shape the industry as we see a real strong future in the decentralised financial sector.

We believe that we are assisting to create a bridge for ordinary people to slowly transition into the cryptocurrency industry. We are very grateful that our method has garnered an overwhelming support from the crypto community as well as from the traditional financial sector who’s looking to capitalise in this fast-growing industry.

ARE YOU WORKING ON ANY UPCOMING INTERESTING PROJECTS AT THE MOMENT?

Family Foundation platform, where 100% of the funds are allocated to the mission and 0% goes to management or personnel.

The foundation is looking to expand its initial allocated funds that can feed over 50 families daily which is in support of the gaming community in the blockchain sector. The foundation will also be releasing a series of NFT artwork showcasing our Ruby Ring worn by Royalties, UHNW individuals, influencers, ordinary individuals in the sector and children.

Secondly, we are developing a non-custodial platform for our liquidity pool protocol in addition to what we already have successfully. As a liquidity provider, we want to offer our liquidity partners options where they can choose to have full control over their digital assets and still have the benefit of receiving revenue through our very own smart contract layer integration with UNISWAP.

Third, the digitisation and fractionalisation of one of our real-world assets. Through our strong partnerships with other family offices, we plan to launch a platform of index highlighting real-word assets, precious metal, precious gemstones, etc. digitised and fractionalised with all the legal structures in place.

HOW IS THE RUBY FAMILY BRINGING SOMETHING NEW TO THE BLOCKCHAIN ECOSYSTEM?

The Ruby Family is hard at work in creating an ecosystem where real-world assets can be digitised and fractionalised to promote a better global wealth-distribution mechanism that comes with a proven and sustainable revenue model, our liquidity pool partnership.

Yes, we are looking to launch a few exciting platforms this year. First on our list is the Ruby

This, in turn, is a driving force for giving back to communities which is the Ruby Family Foundation biggest initiative. The Foundation will initially address the major issues of poverty and lack of essential needs including access to basic medical assistance specially for children and mothers.

“ We believe that we are assisting to create a bridge for ordinary people to slowly transition into the cryptocurrency industry ”

CLAIMING TO CREATE A BRIDGE FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE TO SLOWLY TRANSITION INTO THE CRYPTOCURRENCY INDUSTRY, VERLIN SANCIANGCO, CIO OF RUBY FAMILY OFFICE CAUGHT UP WITH MARIA DEBRINCAT TO DISCUSS THEIR PLANS FURTHER.

Ruby Family Office声称要为人创造一座桥梁，让他们慢慢过渡到加密货币产业，该公司 的首席信息官Verlin Sanciangco接受了Maria Debrincat的采访，进一步讨论他们的计划。

随着金融科技革命席卷全球，您认为迪拜这个地区处于 什么地位？

对我们来说，迪拜是一个真正特殊的地方。我们将迪拜 想成一个小村庄，这个村庄的社区对区块链技术的扩 展非常包容和接受，不仅仅是在该地区，而是在全球 范围内。

通过在今年2022年3月喜迎迪拜博览会的举办，迪拜在 凸显该产业重大进展有所帮助，也会成为（如果还算不 上的话）区块链技术市场有关的标志性地方之一。

你们目前是否正极力筹备任何将于近期推出的有趣项目？

是的，我们希望在今年推出一些令人兴奋的平台。我们 名单上的第一个项目是Ruby Family基金会平台，这个平 台上100%的资金将分配给任务，没有一丝一毫用于管理 或人事。

基金会希望扩大其最初分配的资金，每天可以养活50多 个家庭，这是对区块链领域的游戏社区的支持。基金会 还将发布一系列NFT艺术品，展示我们由由皇室成员、 超高净值人士、有影响力的人、该产业一般人士和儿童 佩戴的红宝石戒指。

其次，除了我们现有且运行成功的平台之外，我们正在为 我们的流动性池协议开发一个非托管平台。作为一个流动 性供应商，我们希望为流动性合作伙伴提供选择，他们可 以决定对自身数字资产拥有完全控制，同时仍然可以通过 我们自己的智能合约层与UNISWAP的整合获得收益。

在以区块链为基础公司的执照与法律结构方面，该地区 仍许多工作需要做，但总体而言，该产业与业界的人 士正在走向一个非常光明的未来。这也是为什么Ruby Family也将在迪拜合法注册的原因之一。

贵公司有什么可以帮助塑造这个产业？

Ruby Family目前正全面参与区块链技术领域，作为市场 上最大的去中心化交易所之一——UNISWAP——的流动 性供应商。这是我们尽一份力形塑产业方式，因为我们 看到了去中心化金融领域的真正强大的未来。

我们相信，我们正在协助创建一座桥梁，让普罗大众慢 慢过渡到加密货币产业。我们非常感谢我们的方法获得 了来自加密货币社区以及传统金融部门的压倒性支持， 他们希望在这个快速增长的行业中建立资本。

第三，将我们在现实世界的资产进行数字化和分割。通 过我们与其他家族办公室的强大合作关系，我们计划推 出一个指数平台，着重于现实世界资产、贵金属、贵重 宝石等的数字化和分割，而所有法律结构都已到位。

Ruby Family是如何为区块链生态系统注入活水？

Ruby Family正在努力创造一个让现实世界的资产可以被 数字化和分割的生态系统，以促进更好的全球财富分配 机制，该机制具有成熟且可持续的收入模式，就是我们 的流动性池伙伴关系。

这反过来也是回馈社区的动力，这是Ruby Family基金会 最大的举措。基金会将首先解决贫困和缺乏基本需求的 主要问题，包括让人们获取基本医疗援助，特别是儿童 和母亲。

“我们相信，我们正在协助 创建一座桥梁，让普罗大众 慢慢过渡到加密货币产业”

GLOBIANCE CEO OLIVER MARCO LA ROSA AND CO-FOUNDER IRINA LA ROSA SHARE THEIR STORY OF GROWTH, DISCUSSING THEIR AMBITION TO BECOME THE MOST EXPANDED EXCHANGE GROUP IN THE WORLD.

Globiance首席执行官Oliver Marco La Rosa和联合创始人Irina La Rosa分享了他们

的成长故事，并讨论他们欲成为世界上规模最大的交易所集团的雄心。

Globiance is a leading financial services group consisting of cryptocurrency exchanges and financial institutions situated around the world, including Argentina, Brazil, Australia, Singapore, and Estonia.

Making its mark with its impressive platform features, Globiance has developed a customer base of retail and corporate clients. The growing firm also facilitates the trading and exchange between cryptocurrencies like XDC, GBEX, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and fiat currencies such as the USD, SGD, EUR, HKD, GBP, and many others.

Creating a coherent platform for secure and fast transactions worldwide, Globiance is striving to become one of the most valuable financial service providers internationally. Its Crypto Payment Gateway allows merchants to accept cryptocurrency payments at lower fees and enables instant settlements while removing rolling reserve and chargeback risks.

Globiance是一家领先的金融服务集 团，由位于世界各地的加密货币交易

所和金融机构组成，包括阿根廷、巴 西、澳大利亚、新加坡和爱沙尼亚。

凭借其令人印象深刻的平台功

能，Globiance已经发展了一个由零售 和企业客户组成的客户群。这家不断 壮大的公司还促进了XDC、GBEX、比 特币、以太币等加密货币与美元、新 加坡元、欧元、港币、英镑等法定货 币之间的交易和交换。

Globiance为全球安全和快速的交易 创建了一个连贯的平台，正奋力成为 国际上最具价值的金融服务提供商之 一。其加密货币支付网关允许商户以 较低的费用接受加密货币支付，并实 现即时结算，同时消除循环准备金和 退单风险。

STORY OF STRONG LEADERSHIP

Mr. Oliver Marco La Rosa serves as the CEO at Globiance. In 2018, along with his wife, Irina La Rosa, and a small team of shareholders, Mr. La Rosa founded the Globiance project with the goal to merge the functionalities of a bank and a Cryptocurrency Exchange. Since then, the Globiance brand has grown noticeably. In 2019, the team launched their first licensed exchange in Estonia (Europe) and by the end of 2021, Globiance will have already launched over 9 legally operating platforms across the world including the US and Canada. By 2022, Globiance strives to become the most expanded exchange group in the world with a goal to serve everyone and connect all users on Globiance platforms irrespective of their location.

In recent times, the biggest challenge is around regulation. As an international firm with a goal to penetrate multiple markets worldwide, Globiance needs to comply with the laws and regulation in each region. As a result, they work with regulators globally to serve every individual around the world.

GBEX - FINANCIAL FREEDOM GLOBALLY

In August 2021, Globiance launched its own token called GBEX which is based on XDC (XinFin Network) - a revolutionary protocol (thirdgeneration) that features:

• More Transactions Per Second

• Lower Fees

• Lower Transaction Confirmation Time

• Less Energy Consumption

• Smart Contract Support

As a house token of Globiance, GBEX will be used on a daily basis on the Globiance global platforms and in the Crypto Payment Gateway. Additionally, the trading fees will also be discounted when using GBEX on the Globiance platforms. For the first time, an exchange token has been designed in a

deflationary way. The tax & burn model collects a 4% tax on each transaction, 2% are burned and the other 2% are distributed among the other holders, so the supply is decreased on a daily basis while the holders are rewarded with additional tokens. On top of that, huge burn events are scheduled, which will decrease the supply by 60% over the next two years.

GLOBIANCE PLATFORM

It’s noteworthy that Globiance has fully updated their platform UI and have added multiple languages. They have also launched their new app for a better user experience on mobile devices. Moreover, Globiance DEX is being released in November and will be the first Decentralized Exchange based on XDC (XinFin Network). Globiance has also built a rapid XDC token deployment system for their exchange which enables them to become the launchpad for all XDC based tokens.

With an aim to revolutionise the banking and cryptocurrency industry, the launch of the GlobianceBANK is also on the cards and will most likely happen in Q1 of 2022. The main banking platform is almost ready and will be launched shortly, in order for clients to preregister and apply for first accounts as soon as the rest of the setup gets completed. The GlobianceBANK will offer users all of the features and convenience that are provided by a digital bank and also the ability to integrate the crypto exchange. Moreover, users will be able to trade securities and Security Tokens, as well as enjoy new DeFi products which Globiance is set to launch.

Globiance works closely with their user community and continuously improves by listening to their users’ valuable feedback. As a result, the platform provides the best possible experience and plans on adding new features based on its user demands. For more news and updates, visit the Globiance website and stay informed about their new and exciting projects.

INVESTING IN TALENT

投资人才

ROBIN MACDONALD, CO-FOUNDER AND MANAGING PARTNER AT RUBIK TALENT ON HOW WE CAN BRIDGE THE DIGITAL SKILLS GAP BY EMBRACING DIVERSITY AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY.

Robin MacDonald是Rubik Talent的 联合创始人和管理合伙人，他讲述了 我们如何通过拥抱多样性和平等机会 来缩小数字技能差距。

TELL US ABOUT RUBIK’S VISION - WHAT ARE THE VALUES DEFINING YOUR MISSION?

We founded Rubik this year to address the digital skills gap facing the iGaming industry. Our Academy was developed to invest in a new generation of talent and provide our clients with access to highly skilled, trained consultants who can help deliver tech projects from the outset.

We are tapping into a huge talent poolparticularly those with STEM backgrounds and from diverse populations which have traditionally been overlooked.

Our defining values are all around inclusion – inviting more diversity into iGaming and supporting new skills into industry - so that the rocket ship (that is currently iGaming) can continue to accelerate.

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN OPPORTUNITY AND TALENT?

The crossroads between opportunity and talent is where industry, higher education and government have let young people down. As a bridge our Academy is investing in those with a high degree of analytical capability, but not necessarily previous coding experience. Take the story of Nafisa - one of our Rubik Consultants – she had an impressive Physics background with all the raw talent but lacked coding experience. Through our Academy, Nafisa shot up the learning curve and is now contributing as well as those with programming experience.

与我们分享Rubik的愿景——定义 你们使命的价值观是什么？

我们在今年成立了Rubik，以解决 iGaming业面临的数字技能差距问 题。我们的学院设立目标是投资新 一代的人才，并为我们的客户提供 高技能、训练有素的顾问，这些顾 问从最初就帮助交付技术项目。

我们正在开发一个巨大的人才 库——特别是那些具有理工背景、 以及传统上被忽视的多样人群。

我们的决定性价值都是围绕着包 容性——在iGaming中引入更多 的多样性，并支持新技能进入行 业——这样，火箭船（这里说的是 iGaming）才能继续加速发展。

缩小机会和人才之间差距的最佳方 式为何？

机会和人才之间的十字路口正是产 业、高等教育和政府让年轻人失望 的所在。作为一座桥梁，我们的学 院正在投资于那些具有高度分析 能力但未必具有编码经验的人。 以Nafisa——我们的Rubik顾问之 一——的故事为例，她有令人印象 深刻的物理背景，并富有自身天 赋，但缺乏编码经验。通过我们 的学院，Nafisa提高了学习曲线， 现在的贡献不亚于那些有编程经 验的人。

HOW HAS THE RECENT HEALTH CRISIS CHANGED THE WAY PEOPLE WANT TO WORK - PARTICULARLY FOR THE GAMING AND EMERGING TECH SECTOR?

My view is that the pandemic has provided an opportunity to redefine the ‘rules of work’. I’ve spoken with many companies over the years who’ve held onto their office culture -usually because those at the top do not trust their employees. There is now ample evidence to demonstrate that is simply a falsehood. By giving power to your employees, you will allow them to be more effective in the roles and become more productive. Flexible work environments allow you to tap into a wider talent pool, increase the diversity and inclusion of your firm.

WHEN IT COMES TO RECRUITMENT, WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE THE MAIN STUMBLING BLOCKS GAMING AND TECH COMPANIES ARE FACING AT THE MOMENT?

The European tech sector has grown over 1,000% in recent years and there are over one million vacancies. When you talk about traditional recruitment there’s a fundamental problem because you’re simply not increasing the talent pool. This approach creates a ‘merry-go-round’ which drives the cost to hire and employ up. Further, the Gaming industry specifically has suffered historically from an image and a responsibility problem.

At Rubik Talent we are presenting the iGaming industry to young groups of talented people who are keen to learn about this fastpaced, technologically advanced industry. Furthermore, we are equipping this diverse population with skills including Full Stack Software Development, UX/UI and Data Engineering to increase the talent pool and fill the digital skills gap.

最近的公卫危机如何改变了人们的工作方式，特别是在游戏和新兴技术领 域？

我的看法是，这场疫情提供了一个重新定义 “工作规则” 的机会。多年 来，我与许多公司谈过，他们一直坚持着自己的办公室文化——而这通 常是因为那些高层不信任他们的员工。现在有大量的证据表明，这根本就 是一个错误的说法。通过把权力移交给员工，你会让员工在角色中更有效 率，提高生产力。灵活的工作环境使你能够利用更广泛的人才库，增加公 司的多样性和包容性。

So much of my time is dedicated to speaking to CTOs and Talent Acquisition professionals who are feeling the pain of a talent shortage but unwilling to invest in new skills. Our clients, including FSB Technology, are now benefiting from a grassroots approach, a new generation of highly skilled software engineers with the support of our programme.

在招聘方面，你认为游戏和科技公司目前面临的主要绊脚石是什么？

欧洲科技产业近年来增长了1000%以上，有超过一百万个空缺职位。当我 们针对传统的招聘方式讨论，一个根本的问题是由于你根本没有扩增人才 库。这种方法创造了一个 “旋转木马”，使招聘和雇用的成本上升。此 外，博弈业过去还一直受到形象和责任问题的影响。

我们Rubik Talent正持续向那些渴望了解这个快节奏、技术先进的产业的 年轻人才群体介绍iGaming业。此外，我们也为这些多元的人群配备技 能，包括全栈软件开发、用户体验（UX）/用户界面（UI）以及数据工程 等方面，以增加人才库，并弭平数字技能的差距。

我的很多时间花费在与首席技术官和人才招聘专家的交谈上，他们正深切 感受到人才短缺的痛苦，但又不愿意投资于新技能。反观我们的客户，包 括FSB科技公司，现正受益于草根做法，拥有受我们公司计划支持的新一 代高技能软件工程师加入其人才库。

“ The crossroads between opportunity and talent is where industry, higher education and government have let young people down “

“机会和人才之间的十字路口 正是产业、高等教育和政府让 年轻人失望的所在”

RADICALLY

ACCESSIBLE

MACHINE LEARNING

彻底的可及性——机器学习

NEUROTHINK’S CEO BRIAN ROGERS, AND COO CHARLES DONLY DISCUSS THEIR RADICALLY ACCESSIBLE VISION TO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF SCIENCE BY MAKING POWERFUL AND SECURE MACHINE LEARNING TOOLS ACCESSIBLE.

Neurothink的首席执行 官Brian Rogers和首席 运营官Charles Donly 讨论了他们的Radically Accessible愿景：让强大 而且安全的机器学习工具 变得容易使用，借此推动 科学的界限。

WHY DOES NEUROTHINK STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD?

Brian: In addition to being radically accessible we have a unique and efficient way of virtualizing and then fractionalizing access to GPU compute power, which a couple of years ago didn’t even exist. For many years, companies have been fractionalizing CPUs. Now we have the ability, through partnerships and a complicated software stack, to be able to fractionalize the GPU’s, which is a game changer in this space.

Charles: The access to GPU servers that neurothink offers comes from building out the leading-edge technology with our partnerships. Our real differentiator has been our ability to bring together the right team to figure out how to unlock this type of technology. Staying in one environment and being able to seamlessly transition your work from an unlimited development environment to a powerful by the minute training environment requires a lot of development and orchestration on the back-end. This has not been done before in this space.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY “RADICALLY ACCESSIBLE”?

Brian: What we mean by “Radically Accessible” refers to how quickly and frictionless a data scientist can spin a project, select your required compute resource, and start to train your model. To start working in neurothink, you simply access the platform through the browser with no need to download any clients or libraries and no need to jump between the command line and GUI. Once signed in, you can start working on your model within minutes, not hours of trying to figure out how to configure your environment. And if you prefer to work from the command line, we provide that as well.

Charles: Beyond being able to stay in one environment - from selecting a dataset and model to reviewing the trained result, we have built in experiment management to help you get to your best result very quickly, the interface helps guide less experienced data scientists to learn about and work with data and models, and finally we are working with partners to offer (in the future) ways to test and explain their models because machine learning can solve problems very differently than humans think about them.

traditionally fallen on the shoulders of the data scientist. To address the frustrations with fragmented environments and inefficient GPU access, we have spent the last 18 months reviewing, collecting, partnering and working to assemble an architecture that works as soon as you get on the platform. Those resources have not been assembled before and we are getting press with our partners for assembling the team and collective solution that will soon be available.

NOW THAT NEUROTHINK HAS EMERGED FROM STEALTH, WHAT ARE YOU PLANS FOR THE NEXT TWO QUARTERS?

Brian: This fall we plan to roll it out to university students who will test and use the platform in their classes. We have made some amazing connections with some of the country’s top universities, bringing on students both as interns and as advisors. Sometime in early 2022 we will be doing our commercial release to individual data scientists and finally corporate teams of data scientists and groups of laboratory researchers.

Charles: Even though our platform is not officially live we are making use of our 4 petaflops of available resources. We already have partnerships out in the medical industry, non-profit space, and data at the edge. We are very excited to see the launch of ocean exploration that requires terabytes of data a day to be collected and turned into models onboard these unmanned submarines to categorize what they see. This project can be used to more rapidly build out green energy along the coast-line or monitor greenhouse gas absorption in the ocean.

WHY DID NEUROTHINK INVEST IN BUILDING THE ENTIRE ENVIRONMENT FROM HARDWARE TO THE USER EXPERIENCE?

Brian: It is still difficult and costly to make and understand these models, and the combination of all those resources has

In the medical space, we are also very interested in pushing models into the hands of doctors (Oncologists and Radiologists for example) who can be assisted by prediction on CT images, but they can also use their years of unique and nuanced feedback to improve the very models they are using which makes the models more helpful. We delivered a demo of this concept to a cancer center in September and will be speaking at a MedTech World this November in Malta. Our vision is to be involved in projects that will help improve the world.

“ There’s no question that there’ve been amazing advancements in machine learning but there are also great expectations “

Neurothink能够脱颖而出的原因是什么?

Brian：除了从根本上实现无障碍的可及性之外，我们还 有一独特而有效率的方式，将GPU的计算能力虚拟化，然 后进行分割，该技术在几年前甚至还不存在。多年来， 公司一直在分割CPU算力。现在我们有能力通过合作关 系和复杂的软件堆栈分割GPU算力，这对该领域来说是 颠覆性的。

Neurothink提供的对GPU

服务器的访问来自于与我们 合作伙伴共同建立的领先技 术。我们特别不同于别人的 地方在于，我们有能力将合 适的团队聚集在一起，藉此 找到解锁这种技术的方法。

呆在一个环境里，并且能够

将你的工作从一个无限制的开发环境无缝过渡到一个强 大、按分钟训练的环境，这需要在后端进行大量的开发 和协调。在这个领域，这一点以前还没有人做到。

你们所谓的 “radically accessible” 是什么意思？

我们所说的 “Radically Accessible” 是指数据科学家

能快速且无摩擦地转换一个项目，选择你需要的计算资

源，并开始训练你的模型。要开始在neurothink工作，你 只需通过浏览器访问该平台，不用下载任何客户端或资 料库，也不需要在命令行和GUI之间跳转。一旦登录，你 可以在几分钟内就开始处理模型，无需花上数小时去弄

清楚如何配置你的环境。如果你喜欢用命令行工作，我 们也能提供。

Charles：除了能够呆在一个环境中——从选择数据集和模 型到检查训练后的结果，我们还内置了实验管理，帮助你 快速获得最佳结果，界面将可以帮助指导经验不足的数据 科学家学习和使用数据和模型，最后我们正在与合作伙伴 合作，提供（未来）测试和解释他们的模型的方法，因为 机器学习解决问题的方式与人类思考问题的方式非常不同。

为什么neurothink要投资建设从硬件到用户体验的整个 环境？

制作和理解这些模型仍然很困难，而且成本很高，所有 这些资源的组合传统上都落在了数据科学家的肩上。为 了解决碎片化的环境和GPU访问不充分所带来的挫折，我 们在过去的18个月里回顾、收集、合作并努力组建一个 架构，让你一上平台就能使用。这些资源以前没有被组 建在一起过，我们与合作伙伴在组建团队和集体的解决 方案上渐有斩获，这样的解决方案很快就能实现。

现在，neurothink已经从 “隐形模式”中浮出水面，你 们对于下两个季度有什么计划？

Brian：我们计划在今年秋天向大学生推广，他们将在课 堂上测试和使用该平台。我们已经与一些国家的顶尖大 学建立了一些绝佳的联系，让学生以实习生和顾问身份 参与其中。在2022年初的某个时候，我们将会将平台向 个人数据科学家进行商业发布，最后则是企业的数据科 学家团队和实验室研究人员团体。

Charles：尽管我们的平台还没有正式上线，但我们正 在利用我们4 petaflops的可用资源。我们已经在医疗产 业、非盈利空间和边缘数据方面建立了伙伴关系。我们 非常期待看见海洋探索计划的启动，该计划每天需要收 集TB量级的数据，并将其转化为无人潜水艇上的模型， 让这些无人潜艇得以对所见事物进行分类。这个项目可 以用来更迅速地沿着海岸线建设绿色能源，或监测海洋 中的温室气体吸收。

在医疗领域，我们也非常有兴趣将模型推到医生（例如 肿瘤学家和放射学家）的手中，他们可以通过CT图像的 预测得到协助，但同时也能利用多年来独特且和精微的 经验反馈来改进他们所使用的模型，借此让模型更有助 益。我们在9月时向一间癌症中心提供了这个概念的演 示，并将于今年11月在马耳他举行的世界医疗技术会议 上演讲。我们的愿景是那将有助于改善世界的项目加入 其中。

“毫无疑问的，机器自 学的能力已有相当大 的进步，但仍有相当 的空间可以更好“

MASTERING the DLT DIVIDE

掌握DLT的界限

Alongside Director, Joshua Ellul, four academics, Dr. Mireille Caruana, Dr. Ioannis Revolidis, Dr. Denisa Kera, and Dr. Ian Cassar, share their perspective on the Multidisciplinary Masters in Blockchain and DLT currently being offered at the University of Malta.

Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies and all things DLT are challenging various professions and facets of social structures. Many challenges exist for the successful adoption of the technology from legal, business, financial, and a technical point of view and similarly solutions are typically proposed from isolated legal, technical, and business silos. Such solutions tend to leave gaps between the different perspectives - and gaps cannot be afforded when so much is at stake.

The Centre for DLT at the University of Malta was set up to fill such gaps by offering a Multidisciplinary Masters in Blockchain and DLT that enables students to gain literacy in the various disciplines whilst also supports students to dig deeper within their area of specialisation - be it Computer Science or ICT, Business and Finance, or Law and Regulation.

四位学者——Mireille Caruana博士、Ioannis Revolidis博

士、Denisa Kera博士和Ian Cassar博士——和总监Joshua Ellul一起，分享了他们对马耳他大学目前提供的区块链和 DLT多学科硕士的看法。

区块链、加密货币和所有与DLT相关的事物正在挑战各种 专业以及社会结构的各个面向。从法律、商业、金融和技 术角度来看，该技术的成功采用存在着许多挑战，同样 地，解决方案通常会由法律、技术和商业等不同孤岛提 出。这样的解决方案往往会留下在不同的观点之间的裂 口——事关重大时，这样的裂口是无法承受的。 马耳他大学DLT中心的成立就是为了填补这种裂口，该中 心提供区块链和DLT的多学科硕士学位，让学生能够获得 各学科的知识，同时也支持学生在自身的专业领域进行更 深入的钻研——无论是计算机科学或ICT、商业和金融， 还是法律和规范。

LAW AND REGULATION

法律和规范

Law is a traditional mechanism of trust. Social relationships operate upon the premise that actors behave irrationally, and the law shall make sure that mechanisms are in place so that social peace is guaranteed. While principles of law seem to be based on objective grounds, the application of the law is entrusted to institutions that can be tampered with. Laws are made by humans, observed, and applied by humans to regulate humans. In this sequence of events, the possibility of irregular behaviour in any block of the institutional chain of the law is high. Such irregular behaviour can quickly lead to a lack of trust.

Now, blockchain is the new trust architecture. It promises to create trust where traditional institutions fail to do so - a very attractive premise from a legal point of view. Yet it poses several questions: can blockchain be successful where traditional trust institutions have failed? What can the law learn from the blockchain? Can the law enable blockchainbased applications, or will it be an obstacle in realizing the potential of blockchain? These are some core legal questions that we discuss across the many different activities within the Centre for DLT, while observing the development of blockchain law as it happens.

法律是一种传统的信任机制。社会关系运作的前提 是，行为人的行为是非理性的，而法律应确保机制到 位，从而保证社会和平。虽然法律原则似乎建立在客 观基础上，但法律的应用却被委托给可以被操弄的机 构。法律是由人类制定的，人类奉行法律并应用法律 来规范人类。这一连串的事件中，法律机构链中的任 何一个环节都有很高的可能性出现不符合规范的行 为。而这种不合规行为会导致信任迅速缺失。

现在，区块链是新的信任架构。它承诺在传统机构 无法做到的地方建立信任——从法律的角度来看， 这是一个非常有吸引力的前提。然而，这也带出了 几个问题：区块链能在传统信托机构失败的地方取 得成功吗？法律能从区块链中学到什么？法律能否 促成基于区块链的应用，还是会成为实现区块链潜 力的障碍？这些都是我们在DLT中心的许多不同活 动中讨论的一些核心法律问题，同时观察区块链法 律的发展情况。

Dr. Mireille Caruana & Dr. Ioannis Revolidis

I coordinate modules on policy-related aspects, emerging creative industries and art, and undertake research on regulatory sandboxes and novel models for stakeholder and public engagement. Design and art with a hands-on approach, along with collaboration and prototyping foster an environment that facilitates ease of absorption - therefore we adopt a design methods approach (UX, service design, participatory design, design fiction) to implement ethical and regulatory guidelines into technical infrastructure, and to support decision-making through prototyping. A blockchain future needs to become more inclusive not only with the promises of decentralization but also better integration with existing institutions and culture.

POLICY AND GOVERNANCE DESIGN

政策和治理设计

我协调政策相关方面的模块，新兴创意产业和艺术，并进行监管沙盒和利益相 关者和公众参与的新模式相关研究。亲身实践方法的设计和艺术，以及合作和 原型设计培养出一个易于吸收的环境——因此我们采用设计方法（用户体验、 服务设计、参与式设计、设计幻象），将道德和监管准则落实到技术基础设施 中，并通过原型设计支持决策。区块链的未来需要变得更加包容，不仅要有去 中心化的承诺，还要与现有的机构和文化更好地融合。

Of course, being a technology, blockchain fundamentals are a must. You cannot regulate something you do not understand, and neither can you establish a business or economic framework without having knowledge of both the internal and external implications of the technology. For non-technical students we introduce various aspects of the technology and an overview of how it works, as well as delve into smart contract coding, whilst for the computer science/ICT students we delve deepe.g. by building a blockchain from scratch, and undertaking verification techniques on smart contracts amongst other aspects.

当然，区块链作为一项技术，对其基础知识的掌握是必须的。你无法监管自己不 了解的东西，如果不了解技术的内部和外部影响，你也无法建立一个商业或经济框 架。对于非技术专业的学生，我们会介绍该技术的各个方面，概述其工作原理，并 深入研究智能合约的编码；至于计算机科学/信息通信技术专业的学生，我们会深 入探讨。例如从头开始构建区块链，以及在智能合约和其他领域执行验证技术。

BUSINESS AND FINANCE

商业和金融

Dr. Ian Cassar

From the perspective of the Business and Finance Stream, in which I coordinate the Applied Economics and Tokenomics module, I find that students benefit greatly from being exposed to the other technical, legal and regulatory disciplines. This further enhances their understanding of the possible applications and the underlying challenges surrounding the use of DLT within the area of Business and Finance, and indeed the economy as a whole.

Blockchain has the potential to transform the functioning of a wide range of economic sectors. Its key features can increase transparency and traceability of goods, data and financial assets, facilitate market access and improve efficiency of transactions. Fulfilling blockchain’s potential, however, depends on a policy environment that allows innovation and experimentation, while balancing the risks of misuse.

从商业和金融流的角度来看，我在其中结合应 用经济学和Tokenomics模块，我发现学生在接 触其他技术、法律和监管学科的过程中获益匪 浅。这进一步增强了他们对于在商业和金融领 域内使用DLT的可能应用和基本挑战的理解， 也同时增进了对经济作为一个整体的理解。

区块链有潜力转变广泛经济领域的运作方式。 区块链的关键特点可以提高商品、数据和金融 资产的透明度和可追溯性，促进市场准入，提 高交易效率。然而，区块链潜力的发挥仰赖于 一个允许创新和实验的政策环境，同时须平衡 误用的风险。

MAKING a MODERN MONETARY SYSTEM

建立一个现代的货币体系

LOOK, IT’S A BANK! NO, IT’S A WALLET! NO, IT’S AN INTERNATIONALLY OPERATING E-WALLET AND BANK FOR BOTH FIAT AND CRYPTOCURRENCIES NAMED WALLEX.

SIMONE MAZZUCA, CEO AND FOUNDER OF WALLEX SAT DOWN WITH KEVIN SANTY TO DISCUSS CURRENT FINTECH AND COMPANY DEVELOPMENTS.

看哪，这是一间银行！噢不，不对，它是一个钱包！不不不，它是一家在国际上运营的电 子钱包兼银行，同时可提供法定货币和加密货币服务，名为Wallex。Wallex的首席执行官 兼创始人Simone Mazzuca与Kevin Santy接受了专访，讨论当前的金融技术和公司发展。

WHAT IS WALLEX DOING TO BEAT THE TRADITIONAL BANKS? AND WILL TRADITIONAL BANKING EVEN SURVIVE THE 21ST CENTURY?

Wallex provides the next level of full asset and digital asset management services. More than anything, we are fully digital and borderless. We provide the full benefits of the traditional banking system, enhanced with features like crypto deposit, withdrawal, exchange and custody of digital assets and tokenisation. We like to say that we are the bank of the future. As for the traditional banks, they will be forced to change, and upgrade their structure, just like they have done already before.

Wallex正在进行哪些项目以战胜传统银行业？ 更甚者，传统银行能在21世纪生存下去吗？

Wallex提供更上一层的全面资产和数字资产管 理服务。更重要的是，我们完全数字化且无边 界限制。我们提供传统银行系统的全部优点， 并通过加密货币存款、取款、数字资产的交换 和保管以及代币化等功能来做加强。我们喜欢 称自己是未来的银行。至于传统银行，他们将 被迫改变，并升级自身的结构，就如同过去传 统银行已经做过的那样。

IS WALLEX REALLY SAFER THAN A TRADITIONAL BANK? BOTH FROM A PRIVATE PERSPECTIVE AS WELL AS ECONOMICALLY?

Wallex is as safe as a traditional bank, as we have the same capital obligations and the activity is supervised by a central bank. Additionally, regarding the obligations a traditional bank has anyway, we have some of the best implemented features for asset protection, compliance and fraud detection due to our enhanced standards for AML and compliance.

One of the reasons we are safe from many different perspectives is also that we do not manage any cash funds. All of our services have specific mechanisms for protections – amongst them are crypto theft insurance for each individual wallet, safeguarding accounts for fiat funds and multiple security mechanisms for the users.

We are constantly reevaluating our system and services and implement additional measures in order to be on top of the market.

FINANCIAL OPERATIONS ON A GLOBAL SCALE MUST BE A LOGISTICAL NIGHTMARE, IS IT NOT? HOW IS WALLEX MANAGING MULTINATIONAL COMPLIANCE?

On the contrary, multinational and cross border transfers are what we essentially do, both for fiat transfers and for crypto transfers, and we are well prepared. In terms of compliance, it is much easier to manage our infrastructure when we are entirely digital, as opposed to a traditional bank which has physical presence and thus has to manage many more requirements.

Wallex additionally has a specific licensed entity for different countries, which provides services to the according market.

YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR WALLEX FOR 25 YEARS NOW, SIMONE. HOW HAVE DIGITAL CURRENCIES RESHAPED THE WAY MONEY IS HANDLED?

That’s simple - the change has been that money is handled from the physical wallet, to the smart phone. One thing that has changed is that now we live in a faster and borderless financial system, and we have passed from a physical management of the money, to fully digital.

PEOPLE OFTEN SPEAK ABOUT CURRENCIES WINNING AND COMING OUT ON TOP. WITH YOUR INSIGHTS AND EXPERIENCE, WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THIS DISCUSSION? WILL BITCOIN OR ETHER RULE THE WORLD? OR WILL DEFI DIE? PERHAPS THE WORLD WILL STAY PLURALISTIC AS IS?

For sure the fiat currencies will not die, at least not in the next 10-15 years. They have been around for a long time and are already established in many ways. On the other side though, I am confident that the crypto currencies are on the way to establishing themselves as a separate payment method, as their benefits are numerous and it’s a system which develops at the speed of the population’s needs. Change starts with stable coins, which are the middle ground between fiat and volatile crypto currencies.

“ We are constantly reevaluating our system and services and implement additional measures in order to be on top of the market ”

无论是从隐私或是从经济角度看，Wallex真 的比传统银行更安全吗？

Wallex和传统银行一样安全，因为我们有同 样的资本义务，而且由中央银行监督活动。 此外，在传统银行的义务方面，由于我们加 强了反洗钱和合规的标准，我们有一些最佳 的资产保护、合规和欺诈检测等功能。

从许多不同的角度来看，不管理任何现金资 金也是我们安全的原因之一。我们所有的服 务都有特定的保护机制——其中包括每个独 立钱包的加密货币盗窃保险，法币资金的保 障账户以及提供给用户的多种安全机制。

我们也持续地重新评估自身系统和服务，并 实施额外的措施，以站在市场的顶端。

在全球范围内提供金融业务一定是后勤的噩 梦，没错吧？Wallex如何管理跨国的合规事

宜？

恰恰相反，跨国和跨境转账是我们的主要业 务，无论是法币转账还是加密货币转账，我 们都做好了充分准备。在合规性方面，当 我们完全以数字形式提供服务的时候，管 理基础设施要容易得多，而传统银行则有

实体存在，因此必须处理更多的要求。此 外，Wallex还有一个针对不同国家的特定许 可实体，为相应的市场提供服务。

Simone，你为Wallex效力长达25年。数字货 币是如何重塑货币被使用的方式？

这很简单，变化过程是这样的——钱的处理 方式从实体钱包转成智能手机。已然改变的 一件事是，如今我们生活在一个更快且无边 界的金融系统中，我们度过实体管理金钱， 发展成完全数字化。

人们经常谈论何种货币会在竞争中胜利。以 你的洞察和经验，对于这样的讨论有什么 看法？比特币或以太币会统治世界吗？还 是，DeFi会死亡？又或者世界将保持多元化 的现状？

可以肯定的是，法定货币不会消亡，至少在 未来10到15年内不会。法币已经存在了很 长时间，并已经在许多方面确立。但另一方 面，我相信加密货币正逐渐成为一种独立的 支付方式，因为加密货币的好处很多，而且 是以人口需求的速度发展的系统。这种变化 肯定始于稳定币，它们处于法币和波动的加 密货币的中间地带。

“我们也持续地重新评估自身系统和服务， 并实施额外的措施，以站在市场的顶端”

STAMP of APPROVAL 认可的印记

ASIDE FROM MARKETING MALTA AS A CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE FOR TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION, THE MDIA IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFINING AND ENFORCING STANDARDS THAT ASSURE INTERNATIONAL COMPLIANCE. CHAIRMAN OF THE MDIA DR. JOSHUA ELLUL SITS DOWN WITH MARIA DEBRINCAT.

除了将马耳他宣传为一个卓越的技术创新中心外，MDIA还负责定义和执行确保国 际合规的标准。MDIA主席Joshua Ellul博士与Maria Debrincat进行了访谈。

THE MALTA DIGITAL INNOVATION AUTHORITY IS A REGULATOR, YET MANY DO NOT UNDERSTAND ITS ROLE, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE MDIA?

The MDIA is a technology focused regulator. Whilst I could say that it is a technology regulator, the MDIA does not mandate that certain guidelines and rules must be followed across the board.

Rather, the MDIA provides a technology regulatory framework which serves two purposes: (i) to support other lead authorities and where technology assurances are required such other authorities can mandate MDIA’s regulatory framework (for example the MFSA for certain operations require that an MDIA System Audit must be undertaken); and

(ii) it serves as a voluntary ‘stamp of approval’ for operators seeking to build trust with stakeholders that may find solace through

guarantees provided within legislation and a national authority’s oversight.

The Authority started by implementing a system audit and certification framework adequate for assurances required with respect to cryptocurrency related activities which make use of Blockchain, DLT and smart contracts, and further widened the regime to include safety-critical systems and specific guidelines for Artificial Intelligence.

WHILE REGULATION IS MDIA’S PRIMARY ROLE, HOW CAN THE AUTHORITY AID IN ATTRACTING INVESTMENT INTO THE COUNTRY?

Whilst the MDIA’s system audit and certification framework may be of interest to a number of technology companies, we always knew that the framework must support start-ups and smaller operations.

Therefore, we put in place the Technology Assurance Sandbox (TAS) which aims to support and facilitate start-ups and smaller operations to grow and scale up towards achieving the levels of assurances needed to onboard investors and consumers.

The TAS will serve as a suitable regulatory tool to onboard and attract companies specifically seeking to build trust with their stakeholders including for example Oracles in the DeFi space, Non-Fungible Token service providers, and other smart contract based operations. Furthermore, the TAS provides the Authority with a flexible regulatory tool allowing for it to quickly adapt to international regulation requirements such as that which will be required with respect to EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act which is part of the European Commission’s wider Digital Financial Strategy, and the Artificial Intelligence Act.

马耳他数字创新管理局是一个监管机构，但许多人 并不了解它的作用，您如何描述MDIA？

MDIA是一个专注于技术的监管机构。虽然我可以 称其为一个技术监管机构，但MDIA并没有规定必 须全面遵守某些准则和规则。

相反，MDIA提供了一个技术监管框架，目的有 二：一、支持其他主导机构，在需要技术保证的情 况下，这些其他机构可以指示采用MDIA的监管框 架（例如，MFSA要求某些业务必须进行MDIA系统 审计）；二、其自愿作为一个 “认可印章”，供 寻求与利益相关者建立信任的运营商使用，通过立 法和国家当局监督提供的保证，可能让这些利益相 关者宽心。

当局首先实行了一个系统审计和认证框架，足以作 为利用区块链、DLT和智能合约的加密货币相关活 动所需的保证，并进一步扩大了该制度，以纳入安 全关键系统和人工智能的具体准则。

监管是MDIA的主要角色，于此同时，该局如何帮 助吸引投资进入该国？

虽然MDIA的系统审计和认证框架可能会引起一些 技术公司的兴趣，但我们一直知道，该框架必须支 持初创企业和小型企业。

因此，我们建立了技术保证沙盒（TAS），旨在支 持和促进初创企业和小型企业的发展以及规模扩 大，以达到投资者和消费者所需的保证水平。

TAS将作为合适的监管工具，以接纳和吸引专门寻 求与利益相关者建立信任的公司，举例来说，其中 包括了DeFi领域的Oracles、非同质化代币服务提 供商以及其他基于智能合约的业务。此外，TAS为 管理局提供了一个灵活的监管工具，使其能够迅速 适应国际监管要求，如欧盟的数字经营韧性法案（ 这是欧盟委员会更广泛数字金融战略的一部分）和 人工智能法案的要求。快速反应力将使马耳他能够 在早期吸引这些希望与监管要求接轨的公司。

“ On the topic of regulatory burdens, the Authority should head towards a future that embraces technology to automate regulatory requirements through RegTech ”

Being able to quickly react will allow Malta to be in a position to attract such companies seeking to align with regulatory requirements early on.

WHAT’S THE NEXT STEP IN THE FUTURE OF TECH REGULATION IN MALTA AND BEYOND?

Well, we are still very early on. The MDIA is the first of its kind worldwide and we are now seeing calls and directions towards other jurisdictions to set up similar frameworks - so we are indeed already ahead of the game, and whilst it is great to be ahead we need to make sure that we keep sight of where others are going to ensure that we remain relevant and can align with other jurisdictions.

In the immediate future, the MDIA is undertaking work to streamline the regulatory framework so that it can easily support different technologies and sectors in line with preparation for EU’s upcoming Artificial Intelligence, Digital Operational Resilience and Cybersecurity related regulation.

With the introduction of the Technology Assurance Sandbox, we expanded the regime to further support start-ups, smaller operations, and less risky activities, yet we would still like to investigate how to provide other light-weight assurances. We will continuously monitor the framework in aim of minimising regulatory burdens.

On the topic of regulatory burdens, the Authority should head towards a future that embraces technology to automate regulatory requirements through RegTech. This will be a continuous journey to implement both new types of systems as well as regulatory tools to support such automation in aim of minimising both regulator and regulated entity operational overheads - whilst at the same time ensuring the same levels of assurances.

One such way to achieve this is through decentralisation. For example, smart contract code is guaranteed to do exactly what it is written to do, and if it handles an operation that typically requires regulatory oversight, then it should be possible to deregulate such oversight - since if the code is written correctly it will continue to do what it is written to do, and checking it would be superfluous. Therefore, the Authority should investigate such future potential avenues for regulatory automation and deregulation mechanisms that can still provide the same level of assurances.

在马耳他以及其他地方，科技监管的下一步是什么？ 这个嘛，我们还处于非常早期的阶段。MDIA是世界上第一 个这样做的单位，我们现在于其他司法管辖区看到了建立 类似框架的呼声和走向—因此，我们确实已经走在了局势 前头，虽然领头是件好事，但我们需要确定自己盯着其他 地方的发展方向，以确保维系自身的切要性，并与其他管 辖区保持一致。

对于临近的未来，MDIA正在开展简化监管框架的工作， 以便该框架能够轻松地支持不同的技术和部门，为欧盟即 将出台的人工智能、数字经营韧性法案和网络安全相关法 规做准备。

随着技术保证沙盒的引入，我们扩大了该制度，以更进一 步支持初创企业、小型企业和风险较小的活动，但我们仍 希望研究如何提供其他轻量级的保证。我们将持续监测该 框架，尽量将监管负担降至最低。

关于监管负担的问题，管理局应该走向一个拥抱技术的未 来，通过监管技术将监管要求自动化。这个过程将需要不 断实施新型系统和监管工具以支持这种自动化，目的是最 大限度地减少监管机构和受监管实体的运营开销，同时确 保同样的保证水平。

实现该目标的方法之一是通过去中心化。例如，智能合约 代码可以保证签署者完全按照其编写的内容来执行，如果 合约中订定的业务通常需要监管部门的监督，那么采用智 能合约应能免除监督——因为如果代码编写正确，合约将 持续按照编写的内容进行，而对于过程的检查将是多余 的。因此，管理局应该针对这种未来潜在的监管自动化和 解除监管机制途径进行检验，而这些做法在相同的保证水 平上并不会打折扣。

“关于监管负担的问题，管 理局应该走向一个拥抱技 术的未来，通过监管技术 将监管要求自动化”

BUILDING A CRYPTO PORTFOLIO 建立加密货币组合

CRYPTOPERFORMANCE IS A UNIQUE BUY AND SELL PLATFORM THAT IS OPEN TO OVER 140 COUNTRIES. THEY WILL BE PRESENTING THEIR NEW BLOCKCHAIN AT AIBC EUROPE, AS WELL AS THEIR NATIVE CPCOIN, THE ADVANTAGE AND AVERAGE PROGRAM.

CryptoPerformance是一个独特的买卖平台，向140多个国家开 放。他们将在AIBC欧洲会议上介绍自家的新区块链，以及他们 的原生CPCoin币，优势计划以及和平均计划。

THE CRYPTOPERFORMANCE PLATFORM

CryptoPerformance was launched in 2020 to solve current difficulties faced by new buyers. The platform is KYC and AML regulated and is open in 140+ countries. It is a unique buy-and-hold platform with over 10,000 users currently accumulating coins.

The native CPCoin has attracted a $10M investment in the first ten months, making it a great buy. CryptoPerformance presents twenty coins that represent optimal growth investment potential. After choosing the coin, the customer picks a set dollar amount ranging from $25 to $100,000 and proceeds to checkout. Payment is quick and easy.

THE IDEA BEHIND CRYPTOPERFORMANCE

The purchase process starts with API software, searching for the coins on twenty different exchanges linked to the CryptoPerformance website. It purchases the coins, brings them to the platform, and drops them in the customer’s wallet. CryptoPerformance customers don’t have to register on any other exchange in order to acquire coins.

STAND OUT FEATURES OF CPCOIN

Launched in December 2020, CPC has been listed on Coinmarketcap, Coinpaprika, and Coingeko and is trading on the Bitmart,

Exrates, P2Pb2b, and Alterdice Exchanges. Thus, presenting CPCoin enables all transactions to be processed and paid for via its usage while also promoting the entire ecosystem.

The CPCoin presents:

• With only 250 million coins and presenting valuable investment opportunities, the coin exceeds possibility opportunities.

• No pre-sale, no ICO, and no whales or dumpers! Every coin bought since December 2020 has come from the market for at least $0.22.

• Decentralized, secure wallet

Words by Horst Stäbler & Giuseppe Rimola

CryptoPerformance平台

CryptoPerformance于2020年推出，目标是解决 当前新买家面临的困难。该平台受KYC和反洗钱 监管，在140多个国家开放。它是一个独特的购 买和持有平台，该平台上目前有超过10,000名用 户积累各种币别。平台的原生CPCoin在前十个月 吸引了1000万美元的投资，使其成为一个很好 的买进标的。在CryptoPerformance上罗列了二 十种表现出最佳增长投资潜力的币，消费者在挑 选币种之后，选定从25美元到100,000不等的美 元金额，接着就能继续前往结账。支付过程十分 快速简单。

CryptoPerformance背后的理念

整个购买流程始于API软件，通过API在连接到 CryptoPerformance网站的20家不同交易所中 搜索币。该软件在买进币之后，将这些币带 到平台上，然后放进客户的钱包里。如此一 来，CryptoPerformance平台消费者无需在任何

其他交易所上注册，就能买进这些币。

CPCoin的突出特点

CPC于2020年12月推出，已在 Coinmarketcap、Coinpaprika和Coingeko上市， 并在Bitmart、Exrates、P2Pb2b和Alterdice交易 所交易。因此，提出CPCoin币，将使所有的交易 都能使用该币进行处理和支付，同时也促进了整 个生态系统的发展。CPCoin的特色有：

• 限额仅2.5亿个币，同时呈现有价值的投资 机会，该币超越了或然率机会。

• 没有预售，没有ICO，也没有鲸鱼或倾销 者！自2020年12月以来被购买的每一个币 都来自市场，价格0.22美元起。

• 一个去中心化且安全的钱包。
