KryptoGO Launches AI-Powered One-Stop Web3 Cloud Solution
KryptoGO Studio Addresses the Three Major Challenges of Web2 Businesses Upgrading to Web3
TAIPEI, Sept. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, KryptoGO announces the launch of its new AI-powered cloud solution for diverse Web3 enterprise scenarios – KryptoGO Studio (hereinafter referred to as KG Studio). The solution offers a one-stop, secure, and compliant peer-to-peer marketplace application. It addresses the three key challenges faced by global Web2 businesses entering the Web3 domain: identity interoperability, technical security, and user experience, by providing intelligent solutions.
KryptoGO is one of the few industry players that drive innovation with a core focus on regulatory technology. Having gained support from the National Development Fund and launched a cross-chain wallet last year, the company is now upgrading its brand services to accelerate enterprise enablement. With KG Studio, KryptoGO aims to provide the customer journey and user experience required for entry into the Web3 market. The enterprise-level application offers rapid, secure multi-chain wallets, compliance technology, encrypted financial management, innovative NFT marketing tools, user management, and intelligent analytics. All these features aim to empower businesses to succeed in the era of Web3+AI.
Founder and CEO Kordan Ou stated: “Utilizing AI can accelerate the resolution of the pain points Web2 businesses encounter when entering the Web3 realm, serving as a powerful tool. KG Studio is not just a technical solution but also a strategic partner. It helps businesses take the lead in entering the Web3 era, reducing costs and accelerating market entry. The platform offers a user-centric design, robust security and privacy measures, and flexible cryptocurrency fund management, ensuring businesses maintain a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving Web3 world.”
AI-Enabled Solutions for Overcoming the Challenges of Transitioning from Web2 to Web3
During the launch event, KryptoGO identified three significant challenges that have deterred Web2 businesses from entering the Web3 domain: First, the issue of identity and data interoperability between Web3 on-chain and Web2 off-chain, a problem KryptoGO has been addressing through its KYC/AML compliant technology. Second, the high technical barriers around cryptocurrency management for Web2 businesses interested in transitioning to Web3. Third, the necessity for a better user experience in Web3 compared to Web2, which sets higher challenges for brand owners facing user retention and acquisition. These challenges have held back some Web2 businesses from entering the Web3 metaverse.
Kordan Ou believes that AI and the applications based on large language models (AIGC) are accelerating the digital transformation of all enterprises. The fusion of AI and blockchain grants new generational capabilities to various applications, leveraging unprecedented productivity growth brought by AI while combining the security and transparency provided by blockchain. This synthesis can offer stronger efficiency, trust, and management across different industries, from traditional financial investment and cross-border payment CeFi and DeFi applications to various GameFi scenarios based on game ecosystems, IP, P2E, social, NFT, etc.
According to data from Emergen Research, the global Web 3.0 market reached $3.2 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow rapidly, possibly reaching $81.5 billion by 2030. The rapid growth is mainly due to advancements in AI and blockchain technologies, increased usage of cryptocurrencies, and a demand for more secure transaction methods across various industries. By 2030, the market combining blockchain and AI could reach $9.807 billion. Companies pioneering new business models using these two technologies have the opportunity for rapid growth.
Primarily in technological transformation, AI accelerates learning and adaptation to new blockchain technologies, aiding developers in quickly mastering the required knowledge. In the security domain, AI can identify abnormal transaction patterns and potential security risks, enhancing the security of blockchain systems. In compliance, AI can automatically verify identities and data, reducing human errors and non-compliance, particularly important under blockchain industry regulations. Additionally, AI can analyze large volumes of data, provide insights, and assist operators in adjusting business models to align better with market demands.
KG Studio’s Five Key Features Addressing Three Major Challenges in Enterprise Transformation and Upgradation
KryptoGO is taking the lead in launching this one-stop service against such trends. KG Studio has formulated five major modules for front-end, middle-end, and back-end enterprise scenarios. The application of AI runs through each service, resolving the longstanding three major challenges and pain points. These modules and features include:
- User 360: Focused on user understanding and analysis, offering customizable analytics charts for enterprises to conduct deep data analysis and insights.

KG Studio Pro offers a comprehensive one-stop solution from customer journey to internal operations, including custom solutions based on diverse client needs.
Brand Upgrade and Comprehensive Empowerment
KryptoGO’s Founder and CEO stated: “KryptoGO has gained deep insights into the challenges faced in entering the Web3 space from long-term mutual growth with Taiwan and global users. Supported by national development and venture funds, we actively collaborate with industry partners, associations, governments, and regulatory bodies to drive innovation in compliance technology and AI research. Through KG Studio, we have achieved on-chain and off-chain integration, aligning with our vision for a decentralized omnichannel. In 2023, our collaboration with YGG Japan led to the launch of a GameFi asset management system, not only enhancing user control and asset security but also facilitating the rapid entry of new users into Web3.”
After its brand upgrade, KryptoGO focuses on three core businesses: First, continuing to offer KYC/AML compliant tech services for the financial and banking sectors to improve efficiency and ensure compliance; second, providing a one-stop solution for businesses transitioning from Web2 to Web3, helping them overcome market entry and technical barriers while offering the best Web3 experience to their brand users; and lastly, offering wallet services to end Web3 users to solve issues related to security and interconnectivity.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa met this week with Zambia’s former Vice President and Special Envoy Enoch Kavindele to discuss SADC’s candidate for the AfDB
President Mnangagwa, who is SADC Chairperson, reaffirmed his own country’s and SADC’s enthusiastic support for Zambian candidate Sam Maimbo
LUSAKA, Zambia, Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Special Envoy Kavindele released the following statement following the meeting:
“I am elated to witness the growing success and momentum of Sam Maimbo’s candidacy to become the next President of the African Development Bank. I am filled with gratitude to our friends across both SADC and COMESA for their continued support and good wishes.
Sam has garnered such wide consensus due to his being uniquely qualified to deliver the transformative change and empowerment our continent needs. Sam’s 30 years in development work is defined by driving outcomes, improving processes, and investing in people. The AfDB needs a hands-on leader who is laser focused on delivering results and who is unafraid of making tough decisions in order to best serve our continent. Sam is that leader. Sam has the track record and experience to drastically enhance the pace, scale, and impact of the Bank’s work in service of the people and governments of Africa.
Our region has a proud history of supporting fellow Southern Africans. For example, we all recall Lusaka’s role in hosting the African National Congress’ headquarters during the dark days of Apartheid oppression.
It therefore gives me no pleasure to observe my South African brothers, who have themselves leant on Zambia’s steadfast friendship over many decades, fail to rally behind both SADC and COMESA’s chosen candidate for the AfDB. Africa’s urgent economic development challenges demand transformational leadership at the AfDB, it is all of our responsibility to put forward the best candidate for the job. This is not the time or place for a government to act with narrow self-interest, we all must act in the continent’s and AfDB’s best interest.
I thank Sam Maimbo for his lifelong service to our entire continent, and I am eager to witness his enormous impact as President of the AfDB.”

According to Tickmill survey, 3 in 10 Britons in economic difficulty: Purchasing power down 41% since 2004
The people who have the most problems are women (30%) and are between 35 and 49 years old (39%)
ROME, Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The purchasing power in the UK has dropped by 41% over the last 20 years. Today, £100,000 left in a bank account since 2004 without being invested would now be worth £59,021.
This figure is one of the findings from a study conducted by Tickmill, an international online trading broker that compared the economic situation in the UK and the European Union through the infographic “Purchasing Power and Cost of Living: UK vs EU”.
The analysis reveals a slight decline of 0.4% in the UK’s purchasing power, which currently stands at £41,573. In contrast, the European Union has seen a modest rise of 0.1%, reaching £40,874.
Why is purchasing power declining in the UK? One key factor is the cost of living. If the UK were still part of the European Union, it would rank as the fifth most expensive country, behind Ireland, Luxembourg, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
Unsurprisingly, 3 in 10 Britons are struggling with the cost of living. Women (3 in 10, compared to 25% of men), those aged between 35 and 49 (4 in 10), households earning less than £15,000 (6 in 10), and single parents (1 in 2) are among the most affected groups.
Among UK nations, Northern Ireland is the hardest hit, with 34% of its population facing financial difficulties, followed by Wales (31%), England (28%), and Scotland (22%). In England, the North East has the highest percentage of people struggling, with 4 in 10 residents affected. Even in London, the high costs impact 1 in 4 adults.
In response to these challenges, Britons are making significant adjustments:
- 53% have cut back or delayed spending on smaller items like eating out, entertainment, subscriptions, clothing, toys, books, etc.;
- 52% have reduced household energy consumption;
- 48% have decreased their grocery spending;
- 41% have scaled back or postponed major expenditures, such as holidays, cars, and weddings;
- 26% are working longer hours, taking on overtime, or pursuing additional jobs to earn extra income.
The British also made changes on the financial side. One in four adults has been forced to dip into their savings or investments to cover daily expenses. Moreover, 44% have stopped saving or investing entirely or have reduced their savings and investments—a 4% increase compared to 2023.
The lack of investment is another critical factor contributing to the decline in purchasing power. It is estimated that 13 million UK residents hold £430 billion in cash deposits but do not invest. The reasons? Seventy-four percent say they cannot compare investment products effectively, and 43% are afraid of losing their money.
A lack of knowledge and fear are preventing many savers from taking advantage of an important opportunity: preserving or increasing their purchasing power in the long term.
