128 Million Transactions Over 24 Hour Period

ZUG, Switzerland, Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — BSV Blockchain ecosystem member – Rekord, a leading IoT connectivity company – has achieved a groundbreaking new record as the primary contributor of over 100m transactions processed on the BSV Blockchain within 24 hours.

Rekord’s platform processed unprecedented on-chain transactions, challenging and surpassing the previous world record of 85Mn transactions. Rekord broke the 100m transactions per day mark with 128m transactions within the 24-hour.

This record-breaking accomplishment was part of a broader client proof of concept to test the entire workflow from collecting manufacturing data via IoT devices and placing the information on-chain.

The first record was then followed by a second world record by the Rekord team, where they carried out the most transactions in a single block. Block #804142 contained 7,126,502 transactions and cost 1.35 BSV (£33.52) equating to £0.000005 per transaction.

The two records were enabled due to Rekord’s collaboration with TAAL, which processed approximately 80% of the transactions and GorillaPool, which processed around 20%. During the build-up to the test and the test itself, Rekord spent approximately 50 BSV (£1,206) equating to an average cost of £0.000009 per transaction over the 24-hour period. Rekord is set to become the consistent largest producer of on-chain transactions on the BSV network due to contracts with data-heavy customers looking to leverage the scalable nature of the BSV blockchain.

James Marchant, Founder of Rekord, said: “We are thrilled to have reached this significant milestone in the BSV ecosystem. Our platform’s ability to handle such a high volume of transactions demonstrates the scalability and robustness of the BSV blockchain, and proving it is the only blockchain that can handle the data often required by IoT devices.”

With this record in hand, Rekord’s future looks promising. They are targeting $35m in revenue in their first 12 months of operation and potentially adding mining capabilities and building their node software to maintain control over data collection via IoT.

Rekord is a company building bridges between devices, machines and indeed anything with IoT connectivity and the BSV blockchain. Rekord IoT is a next-generation infrastructure company offering IoT as a service.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Kroll, the leading independent provider of global financial and risk advisory solutions, announced today that a multi-million dollar settlement between the liquidators of Emergent Fidelity Technologies, Ltd. and the FTX Estate has been approved by the US Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. This settlement involves the recovery of 56 million shares in Robinhood Markets, Inc., acquired by Emergent in May 2022.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) took control of the assets. The liquidators from Kroll worked with the DOJ to facilitate the repurchase of shares by Robinhood, securing over $626 million for the victims of the FTX scheme.

This settlement is part of the ongoing efforts to recoup assets back for the victims of Bankman-Fried’s scheme.

Angela Barkhouse, Head of Offshore Restructuring at Kroll commented, “The settlement is a significant step in the liquidation of Emergent Fidelity Technologies, Ltd., providing a fair and efficient resolution for all parties. It underscores our commitment to maximizing value and aims to resolve outstanding claims and facilitate the equitable distribution of assets to creditors.”

H&M Foundation – Tackling urgent challenges with anticipatory funding

Published

h&m-foundation-–-tackling-urgent-challenges-with-anticipatory-funding

H&M Foundation has announced a significant commitment of SEK7,500,000 (€660,000) to support Start Network’s disaster risk financing programme, Start Ready. This three-year commitment aims to strengthen the capacity of eight countries to anticipate, respond to, and recover from crises.

STOCKHOLM , Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — With climate as a strategic focus, the H&M Foundation’s mission is to support the textile industry in halving its greenhouse gas emissions every decade reaching net-zero by 2050 in a just and fair transition. However, there are also urgent climate related challenges such as climate disasters, that require urgent action. Over the years, climate related disasters have increased. Evidence suggests that around 55% of humanitarian funding goes to climate related crises but only 1% of this funding is organised in advance – despite this being a much more effective way of tackling these crises.

 

 

Targeting anticipatory measures in climate driven disasters can prevent or ease emergency catastrophes. That is why H&M Foundation now partnered up with Start Network, a global network of more than 100 organisations working together to shift from reactive crisis response to proactive early action, to support their financing mechanism Start Ready. Through Start Ready, funds are prepositioned for crises that happen with regular and predictable patterns of recurrence, like floods, droughts, and heatwaves. Start Ready protects an average of 700,000 people across eight countries annually. This partnership will enhance the capacity and coverage of current hazard preparedness systems in these countries.

Anna Gedda, CEO of H&M Foundation, hopes that this partnership can inspire other funders to invest more in preventive work: “Proactive measures are essential to prepare for, respond to, and recover from catastrophic events. We believe preventive funding can make a significant difference and ensure a safer future for all. We are proud to support Start Network in their vital efforts to prevent and mitigate the negative effects of disasters.”

H&M Foundation is privately funded by the Stefan Persson family, founders and main owners of the H&M Group. We use philanthropic resources to find, fund and facilitate disruptive innovations, initiatives and research that enable a socially inclusive and planet positive textile industry. To accelerate the transformation, we take on a holistic and open approach – bringing diverse partners together to co-create, and to share learnings and solutions. The H&M Foundation can also provide emergency relief. For more information visit hmfoundation.com.
