Consider the case of a smallholder farmer in rural Africa, not able to receive a loan due to the lack of a verifiable national ID. Or a woman entrepreneur in Latin America, swimming against bureaucratic red tape just to register her business. This is not merely an inconvenience, it is...
DeFi. Decentralized Finance. It’s supposed to be our fintech revolution, after all, isn’t it? Untethered from the scrutinizing gaze and necessarily heavy hand of these centralized institutions. But here's the uncomfortable truth: the rush to inject AI into DeFi identity verification is a dangerous game. We’re not debating an inconvenient...
And these laws have compounded the failure in Australian real estate, which is under siege. Not from rising interest rates, but from something far more insidious: cyber fraud. We’re about stopping these scams, which are ripping off Australians to the tune of millions but are fuelling transnational organized crime. Mosley...
The world is quickly becoming more digital. Digital ID systems are being adopted nationally more than ever, increasing efficiencies of service delivery, enhancing security, and boosting economic development. The emergence of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools, most notably deepfakes, represents the most dangerous risk. These trends continue to erode the...
Picture this— you walk into a bank, not in person, but as a detailed avatar of yourself in a new, nearly realistic metaverse branch. Looks like a plot from a terrible sci-fi flick, doesn’t it? Wrong. The metaverse isn’t just a new digital frontier for gaming and virtual concerts. It...
DeFi promised us a revolution. Financial freedom for all, a world without gatekeepers this time. Let’s be real — how many of your friends are using DeFi right now? Probably not that many. Why? As it stands now, DeFi is still a walled garden. It primarily draws the early adopters...
The UK government is making big plays toward modernizing the UK’s digital infrastructure. To add further value to the service offered to citizens, they’ve just launched the Gov.uk Wallet.

The UK's Data (Use and Access) Bill (DAU Bill) is about to become law, and it feels like we're sleepwalking into a Philip K. Dick novel. Picture a world in which every one of your online moves is cast in stone. Imagine your purchases and consumer profiles and internet usage—all...
The value of real estate—the bedrock of American wealth and security—is constantly being undermined by waves of complex identity fraud. Eloise Grant is interested in how blockchain may be used to develop digital identity. On the ground, she’s seen a concerning uptick in scams targeting prospective homeowners.

Remember the early days of the internet? Wild West, right? That’s how DeFi seemed just a few years ago. “Rug pulls” started entering the broader crypto lexicon. That’s starting to change and for the better. We know regulation can be a buzzkill but it’s the only way to find out...
The crypto world loves a good narrative, and Humanity Protocol's H token is dripping with one: a fairdrop revolution. Yet the promise is unmistakable. We will fight to reclaim airdrops from the arms of the bot armies and restore them to actual, live human beings. The method? Palm scans. Yes,...
A billion-dollar valuation for the ability to palm scan? No joke. While everyone’s chasing the next crypto unicorn, I can’t shake the feeling we're blindly galloping towards a future where our bodies are the ultimate key – and the ultimate target. Humanity Protocol’s H token has skyrocketed, partially fueled by...

The fulfillment of digital utopia, being in touch with everyone on planet Earth through expansive online metaverses, creating prosperous virtual societies? It sounded revolutionary. Now, look at Horizon Worlds. Clunky avatars, digital tumbleweeds, and a...
Zuckerberg wants AGI. Personal superintelligence, he calls it. An AI that essentially runs your life. Sounds convenient, right? Maybe. But let's be brutally honest: entrusting the keys to your existence to a single, centralized entity – especially one with Zuckerberg's track record – is a recipe for disaster. Well, it’s...

DeFi might seem like a remote world, but I’ll never forget being at a DeFi conference last year. The typical panicky lunge for registration lines, relatable uncomfortable small talk… but then, wait, what’s this. Rather than needing to keep up with a paper name tag, I simply scanned a QR...
