Special needs kids need special care and special ways of teaching. Easylore has designed comprehensive classes that help them march towards holistic growth and development like any other kid.

KAVA SWAP LISTS ON ASCENDEX

Singapore, Sept 1 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AscendEX, a global digital asset trading platform with a comprehensive product suite, is thrilled to announce the listing of the Kava Swap token (SWP) under the pair USDT/SWP on September 1st at 1 p.m. UTC.

Kava is focused on democratizing financial services and making them openly accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world.  Kava Chain is a decentralized, permissionless, censorship-resistant blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK. This means it operates much like other Cosmos ecosystem blockchains, and is designed to be interoperable with other chains. 

Kava.io is the first cross-chain Decentralized Finance (DeFi) hub providing applications and services to the world's largest cryptocurrencies. Kava’s platform operates as a decentralized bank for digital assets connecting users with products like stablecoins, loans, and interest-bearing accounts so that they can do more and earn more with their digital assets. For example, sers can deposit their digital assets and use them as collateral to borrow Kava’s crypto-backed stablecoin, USDX. The native swap token (SWP), launching Monday Aug. 30, allows users to swap and engage with multiple assets across different chains.

Kava Swap is a cross-chain liquidity hub for all DeFi apps and financial services. Its purpose is to enable the aggregation of capital where it can then be deployed seamlessly across different blockchain ecosystems, DeFi apps, and financial services. At its core, Kava Swap is a cross-chain Autonomous Market Making (AMM) Protocol that leverages the Kava platform’s DeFi infrastructure, cross-chain bridges, and security. Kava Swap delivers users a seamless way to swap between assets of different blockchains and deploy their capital into market-making pools where they can earn handsome returns.

The Kava Protocol is the set of rules and behaviors built into the Kava Chain that enables advanced DeFi functionality like permissionless borrowing and lending. Like most Cosmos ecosystem blockchains, the automated transaction behaviors known as “Smart Contracts” are hardcoded into the protocol. They are referred to as “modules” in the Cosmos Ecosystem. The Kava App uses a special kind of module called a CDP. Hard Protocol is an application that runs on Kava Chain. It does not have its own blockchain. It builds upon the Kava Protocol and adds new functionality, expanding the Kava Ecosystem to include an autonomous money market protocol. 

The HARD token is a unique token on the Kava Chain. It is given as a reward for supplying and borrowing on the Hard app. KAVA, the native token of the KAVA protocol, is used as a Proof of Stake (POS) staking asset, which ensures the finality and safety of loans on the protocol and also acts as the ‘lender of last resort’ in certain situations. The Kava Chain is secured by its native token KAVA and it is used across the full chain as a transport and a store of value. It is given as a reward for minting USDX on the Kava app. USDX is a stable coin loosely pegged to the US Dollar. It is minted when a Kava CDP is opened. KAVA, SWP, and HARD are all governance tokens, meaning holders can vote on the rules and proposed new features of the protocols.

AscendEX is a global cryptocurrency financial platform with a comprehensive product suite including spotmargin, and futures trading, wallet services, and staking support for over 150 blockchain projects such as bitcoin, ether, and ripple.

DECOM HOLDINGS PROVIDES SOLUTION TO MONETARY AUTHORITY OF SINGAPORE ON GLOBAL CHALLENGE FOR RETAIL CBDC

 HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Aug 5 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As a response to the Global Challenge for retail Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) solutions organized by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on 23 June 2021, a group of experts from Decom Holdings Vietnam has proposed innovative ideas and solutions to address 12 different problem statements raised by the MAS and partner organizations from all over the world. These statements are centered on three key areas: CBDC Instrument; CBDC Distribution; and CBDC Infrastructure.

All senior experts in different time zones and working environments have worked diligently together to come up with the most original and innovative proposal possible for this contest. With a group of experts’ expertise and experience in financial and banking, blockchain security, cryptography, and other blockchain applications, the team is very confident in contributing to enhance payment efficiencies and promote financial inclusion through the Global Challenge for Retail CBDC Solutions launched by MAS.

This project marks the first time ever to have an independent research team on blockchain in Vietnam, with members from a variety of fields such as finance, cryptography, technology, marketing, etc., work together remotely on a public project with an international scale.

“We are overjoyed to be a part of this competition hosted by the Singapore government. It is a great way to encourage organizations, groups and individuals across the globe to share their brilliant proposal for retail CBDC solutions,” said Trung Phan, Chairman of Decom Holdings Joint Stock Company, an expert in investment and DEFI solutions. “We learned about the competition only a few weeks ago, but we quickly put together a team and started the project right away.

To add on, Ms. Lynn Hoang, Director of Binance Vietnam and Blockchain expert of Vietnam Innovation Network, shared: “The challenge launched by MAS is extremely essential. Many central banks in China, UK, Germany, US and around the world are actively exploring the issuance of national digital currencies, while having to explore a range of policy and technology challenges.

Champion® athleticwear delivers 'KO' with Muhammad Ali Collection second capsule




KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 6 -- Champion, makers of authentic athletic apparel and Muhammad Ali Enterprises, has dropped the second, limited-edition capsule in Champion’s Muhammad Ali Collection. 

The capsule’s new designs and fresh colours are fabricated to evoke the ethos of the sports legend in his inspirational gold medal win during the 1960 Games in Rome as an 18-year-old.

“The second drop in this collection allows everyone from professional athletes to backyard sports enthusiasts and culture curators to truly be their own Champion by finding the joy in dressing for self-expression and feeling confident while being comfortable,” said group president of global activewear for HanesBrands, Jon Ram.

Champion is a brand of HanesBrands, according to a statement.

With details based on the 1960 Games historic location and team uniforms, the apparel features unique athletic accents, iconic silhouettes, luxe fabrics and voluminous draping.

The men’s and women’s collections, which retail from US$35-US$125 in the United States, spans sizes XS-2XL and includes Reverse Weave® hoodies, quarter-zip pullovers, joggers, shorts, graphic T-shirts, crop tops, bike shorts, hats and special satin boxing robe. (US$1 = RM4.216)

The pieces have legendary quotes from Ali, including ‘I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was’, along with Games-inspired brand decals.

The second drop in the brand’s multi-year partnership with Muhammad Ali Enterprises, owned by Authentic Brands Group (ABG) in conjunction with Lonnie Ali, a trustee of the Muhammad Ali Family Trust (MAFT), includes global integration across Champion’s brand platforms.

The collection is being distributed via Champion.com and Champion retail stores with distribution in the United States, Europe, Asia, Mexico and South America. A third drop is scheduled for later this year to be followed by additional capsules in 2022.

To celebrate the second drop of the Muhammad Ali Collection, Champion will be making a donation to the Louisville, Kentucky-based Muhammad Ali Center, a non-profit museum and cultural centre dedicated to honouring the man that meant so much to so many.
