Skychain Technologies Moving into the Rapidly-Growing Edge Computing Sector

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 3, 2021) –  Skychain Technologies Inc. (TSXV: SCT) announces preparations to expand its data centre services to provide Edge computing for cloud gaming and other high-data applications such as rendering for film and animation. Edge computing, considered the future of enterprise data processing, allows internet consumers to use more connected applications and devices with minimal latency/lag time and network congestion. By using the network’s “edge” (the geographical location where servers deliver functionality to customers most expediently), Edge computing promises major leaps in data processing.

The future of Edge computing appears lucrative, according to Gartner Research & Advisory. The firm predicts that by 2025, as much as 75 percent of enterprise data would be generated and processed through Edge computing. Cloud gaming will be a primary user. Grand View Research reports the global cloud gaming market size is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.2% from 2021 to 2027 to reach USD $7.24 billion by 2027. The proliferation of smartphones and 5G wireless networks across the globe is further expected to drive cloud gaming growth.

“Considering these powerful market trends, we’ve identified Edge computing as the next strategic step in our growth,” said SkyChain CEO Bill Zhang. “Skychain’s deep experience in cryptocurrency mining has resulted in development of our own unique high-speed equipment, venues and energy solutions suited perfectly to Edge computing. As a result, we can provide access to new revenue sources with only marginal costs of upgrading our facilities.”

Over the past three (3) years, SkyChain and MiningSky have provided Infrastructure As A Service (IAAS) for cryptocurrency verification. SkyChain’s facilities include a data centre, large megawatt electrical capacity and network to support the required high-volume data processing. Under a business plan in process, Skychain is conducting testing to upgrade the current IAAS to cloud-based IAAS for expanded applications.

Skychain believes its new Quebec and Manitoba data facilities, when fully upgraded and, in the case of Manitoba, fully online, are ideal service locations for the new services with the best electricity rates in Canada. Both facilities will provide close proximity to the users and best-in- class internet latency.

In concert with industry partners, Skychain is starting a Proof of Concept (POC) project at an estimated budget of $600,000 for the cloud IAAS. The partners, who are also SkyChain customers, will contribute capital. Skychain will contribute its IAAS platform, technical advice and management to the POC.

About Skychain Technologies INC
Skychain Technologies is a Vancouver based company providing Blockchain Infrastructure services and power solutions. Our vision is to become a leading player in the crypto/data mining hosting by growing to 100Mw of crypto hosting capacity. To learn more, visit www.skychaintechnologiesinc.com.

Introducing Adyen Uplift: The payment solution optimizing every transaction with AI

Published

on

introducing-adyen-uplift:-the-payment-solution-optimizing-every-transaction-with-ai
  • Piloted by 60 enterprise businesses including: Patagonia, On, Indeed, NordSecurity and Fubo
  • AI helps businesses increase payment conversion rates by up to 6% compared to legacy implementations

NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Adyen, the global financial technology platform of choice for leading businesses, announces the launch of Adyen Uplift. The AI-powered payment optimization suite will help businesses increase payment conversion, simplify fraud management, and reduce the cost of payments. Adyen’s customers can utilize data-driven, tailored performance recommendations and opportunities to test different payment configurations to maximize performance.

Saving businesses from trading off between conversion, risk, and cost

The complexity of payment management still holds businesses back from reaching their ambitions. They constantly need to compromise between conversion, fraud, and cost. Thanks to Adyen Uplift, businesses can optimize the full payments funnel with AI. AI-powered payment optimizations bundled in a single product suite are trained on Adyen’s global transaction dataset. Rather than navigating the complexity of payments in operational silos, the AI-first approach uses risk-based intelligence and automated conversion optimization to help businesses get more out of payments. The pilot has shown a significant effect on profits, with businesses seeing an overall uplift of up to 6% on their payment conversion rate.

“Balancing risk management, driving conversion, and minimizing cost has always required ineffective compromises – until now” said Carlo Bruno, VP of Product at Adyen. “Adyen Uplift changes the game by unleashing the depth and power of AI to solve for real-time payment optimization. This will transform cost savings and performance, redefining business efficiency in 2025 and beyond.”

$1 trillion+ payments data

Businesses and other providers rely on limited datasets, impacting their ability to recognize shoppers and payment behavior. With Adyen Uplift, companies benefit from AI trained on over a trillion dollars worth of global payments data from Adyen’s single platform.

“We’ve increased our conversion rate by up to 2% with Adyen’s AI, making a real difference to both our performance and cost efficiency, while keeping fraud under control,” commented Luca Spichtig, Head of Digital Operations & Projects at On.

Adyen has processed payments for over one billion consumers globally, giving its AI solutions a strong basis to differentiate good shoppers from fraudsters. When an Adyen customer encounters a new shopper, there is a high likelihood that Adyen has seen the shopper elsewhere on the platform. For a retail merchant on the Adyen platform, there is more than a 90% chance that Adyen has seen that shopper before. When a good shopper is identified, AI optimizations allow them to speed through checkout whilst shoppers and retailers also benefit from precise payment fraud mitigation.

“We’ve increased our conversion rate on customer initiated transactions by 10% by leveraging Adyen’s AI technology, which optimizes the entire payment funnel while maintaining control over fraud and costs,” commented Kes Saulis, Head of Payments at Nord Security.

The AI-first approach to fighting fraud

Today, the fraud control process is highly complex, requiring businesses to implement extensive manual rules to combat ever-evolving fraud techniques. With Adyen Uplift, businesses can automate fraud control by removing the operational burden from fraud management teams. The solution automates and refines risk management without relying on manual rules. This enables businesses to lower fraud levels and reduce false positives, depending on their risk appetite.

Businesses piloting the risk product have seen the impact firsthand. Adyen’s pilot enterprise customers have reduced their manual risk rules by 86% on average, and 35% of customers have completely eliminated manual rules saving valuable time and resources. 

Adyen’s customer Indeed, a leading job matching and hiring platform, was able to run AI-based optimization experiments that are tailored to the unique characteristics of its business. This translated into a reduction in operational workload by automating processes to drive efficiency.

Reduce payment processing costs by up to 5%

Today, businesses are more focused than ever on their bottom line, yet many still view payments as a commodity rather than a powerful cost-saving strategy.

Adyen Uplift has reduced payment cost by up to 5% for pilot customers in the U.S. Adyen’s AI selects the best routes with the best rates for transactions to help minimize total cost of payment. Pilot customers also experienced cost savings through Adyen’s optimizations, which tailored the shopper-facing checkout flow to their needs.
