London March 3rd, 2022 Smart Finance declares the launch of its avant-garde decentralized finance (DeFi) platform based on leading-edge artificial intelligence, machine learning and mathematical expectations. Coupled with its token, Smart Finance will ensure a safe and economical way of trading by optimizing profits on the cryptocurrency market. The 3 computer-aided technologies also allow for more efficient trading with optimal results and a safeguard against typical human errors.

During an interview with the Founder of Smart Finance TheZarchitect, said Artificial Intelligence is the ultimate game-changer in the crypto sector. AI provides a smart and powerful automated trading robot that can estimate crypto market values and automatically trade for you. This is the best crypto technology and the most efficient and straightforward method for trade monitoring and dedicated oversight. At any given time, you will know the status of your portfolio.

During market days, prices fluctuate rapidly, providing opportunities to generate consistent revenues. To maximize profits from these price movements, large volumes of data must be processed quickly. The Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning capabilities at the heart of Smart Finance offer its users a great advantage through processing large quantities of data quickly, and accurately.

Indeed, the most eminent assets of AI and ML are their abilities to reduce human error, besidesanalyzing large quantities of information in short time spans.

Smart Finance brings a plethora of unique features to its users, adding value and safeguarding the investor. The AntiScamAI is an AI-powered tool that analyses new token projects to determine and expose potential scams.

ASAI works on a three-step analysis:

The content of the project website is first analyzed, such as the text and images used. Additionally any white paper and related social media are checked. The AI analyzer checks and rates the content based on the writing fluency level, any plagiarisms, paraphrasing from other projects and any images that have been copied.

The token smart contract for the project will be checked for red flags and typical tests used during full audits are leveraged. It checks if the liquidity is locked, tests the token ownership, checks the maximum allowed taxes and whether a block from selling function exists.

The final step in checking the project is to search online content general for market consensus. Leveraging NLP (Natural Language Process), we check a defined scope of crypto-orientated news websites and discussion forums.

Another feature is our Whale AI Tracker, which can track the wallets of user selected whales. The AI engine will be able to monitor for transactions, and copy them before they complete. Utilizing this feature allows you to trade as the whales do, and profit when they do.

Finally, we have an auto-trading AI powered bot. A first in the crypto world to be powered by AI, it provides a loss insurance to the user.

A Smart Finance spokesperson explained, The main advantages of AI and ML are the ability to analyze large amounts of data, an amazing ability to learn, and benefits of taking action with accuracy and speed.

At the center of the Smart Finance AI platform are the neural networks. These powerful networks produce forecasts around the dynamics of the cryptocurrency market. The system monitors, compares and forecasts exchange rate variations during the trading day with accuracy of up to 90%. Smart Finances approach centers around technical and fundamental analysis.

In order to determine the mood of the crypto market, an investor requires analysis of a large amount of data. This includes articles, blogs, forums and even the comments that go with them. Our platform, which is built on artificial intelligence technologies, automatically performs the analysis and provides instantaneous, actionable results, added Neil Doody, CTO of Smart Finance.

The token underneath Smart Finance also comes with its own value-added tokenomics, designed to encourage and provide value to long term holders. On all buys and sells of the SMF token, a 11% tax is levied, and all existing investors are rewarded with 3% in USDT. This is a great way to reward our long term investors, who will accrue rewards through each transaction that is made.

We also offer staking, you can stake your tokens to receive daily compounding interest. When you stake your tokens, you will continue to receive rewards from the tax distributions in USDT.

By Brian Moir

At first, everyone is overwhelmed by new technology. Blockchain technology has been equated to when the internet was invented or even the wheel. Its a booming industry that is going to revolutionize the world as we know it.

This will be a basic level intro into the world of decentralization, technological revolution, and being in control of your own financial future. You can do anything from tracking the food you eat from farm to table (ripe.iohttps://ripe.io/about) to being able to pay anyone anywhere in the world in seconds basically fee-free (Ripple (CRYPTO: XRP),https://xrpl.org/). There are endless use cases for blockchain technology and we are just now getting started.

So the news is now being bombarded with new cryptocurrencies, ICO/ IFOs, blockchains, and NFTs. I am sure you have seen headlines of digital art ( that you would think you could just download from anywhere ) going for >$60 MILLION USD, or that even Charmin and Taco Bell( yeah that toilet taco combohttps://decrypt.co/62411/taco-bell-to-charmin-10-big-brands-jumping-on-nft-bandwagon) is getting into the NFT game, but Im not really here to get into the ins and outs of NFTs. I here to give you a breakdown of how to start down this wild rabbit hole that is Crypto. Im going to give you a birds-eye view of what makes blockchain technology work and the rundown of crypto investing in general. Im just an average guy who can break it down in easy-to-understand terms (hopefully at least). I wholeheartedly believe that the new phase of people investing in crypto is here to stay and keep rising. If crypto is something that I am seeing people in their 60s and 70s start investing in, when they have trouble with their Gmail account, I know damn well we have something of note on our hands. Now, I am not a full-on expert in blockchain programming, nor am I a financial advisor, but I have been in the game for long enough to understand what is happening and why. At the moment, I work for an investment/ stock market media company. In my role, I interact with our user base on a day-to-day basis, so I get a good sense of what people are watching and investing in as a whole. I am super passionate about crypto and blockchain technology, and as I said, I am just here to give you a breakdown of whats going on. I will give ideas on what to look out for, how to stay safe, and maybe get a better understanding of this whole new space, so you can finally understand what your grandson/ daughter or nephew/ niece has been going on and on about.

So let's start with the basics: what isthe blockchainand why is it beneficial? Well, the simplest answer is that on the blockchain there is a continuous and fungible ( or non-fungible, (NFT ( non-fungible token))) ledger ( on many networks around the globe ) of interactions that can be searched and viewed by anyone. This allows for an entity to keep records of anything, and that record can not be changed or altered.

Ablockchainis a decentralized, distributed, and oftentimes public, digital ledger consisting of records calledblocksthat is used to record transactions across many computers so that any involvedblockcannot be altered retroactively, without the alteration of all subsequentblocks. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain#:~:text=A%20blockchain%20is%20a%20decentralized,alteration%20of%20all%20subsequent%20blocks.)

This is HUGE for how we deal with banking, supply chains, transactions, healthcare, and an endless amount of use cases. Now that you have a basic understanding of what a blockchain actually is, lets move on to a few example of what some of these companies do.

Have you ever wondered if there was a way to check where you produce or meat comes from, every step of the way? What about a way to get access to GPU rendering power that only large production companies can afford, for a fractional cost and get paid to share yours? How about ways to get the highest APY on a savings account with no third-party bank, credit check, or institutional fees? Lastly, what about being able to send money to your family overseas whether they are studying abroad, or you are working in a different country and the fees to send money would cost more than what you are sending and could take days-weeks to arrive? Blockchain technology is the answer and solution to all of these questions and much. much more. I am only giving you the tip of the iceberg here.

Let's start with some examples of blockchain applications for supply chains.

Supply chain data is not always visible, available or trusted. IBM Blockchain helps supply chain partners share trusted data through permissioned blockchain solutions.

In times of disruption, this matters more than ever. Businesses and consumers want brands to guarantee product authenticity, while supply chain participants demand responsible sourcing and better visibility to minimize disputes.

Blockchain for supply chain solutions help supply chain leaders use data to handle the disruptions of today and build resiliency for the future. IBM is setting the standard for creating blockchain solutions for many companies. They have created a product that allows a company to implement their own supply chain onto a ledger that is searchable, scalable, and immutable. This is big because it allows full transparency for the company and its consumers. Builds trust, lowers disputes, increases profit margins, and allows visibility for tracking and transparency with ease. One very significant project that is using the IBM blockchain isAI vaccination distribution with Moderna. Blockchain can provide real-time visibility of vaccine distribution and chain of custody from manufacturing to administration, eliminating blind spots across public and private entities.

ForSupplier Management, using IBM blockchain allows for seamless onboarding, transparency for consumers and receivers, and is quick and of course immutable/ tamperproof.Delivering on your customer promises starts with suppliers delivering for you. No matter how strong your supply chain team may be, finding the right suppliers to meet your business needs is costly and time-consuming. Trust Your Supplier is changing all that with a secure, blockchain-based solution for identifying, onboarding and managing qualified suppliers, no matter what industry youre in. Find out why IBM uses Trust Your Supplier.

Finally to finish off just a small portion of what theIBM blockchainis capable of: following a retail product ( or produce ) from end to end and help boost sales.At the start of the pandemic, retailers faced challenges such as keeping products on shelves, supply chains moving, stores open and employees safe. As the world cautiously steps toward reopening, retail sales are increasing. Now is a decisive moment for the retail industry to use blockchain in addressing all the challenges of the new normal.

Now, again, these are just small samples of what IBM has going on with their Blockchain technology. They are totally revolutionizing the SaaS model for blockchain implantation to solve common issues that todays industries face, especially after a global pandemic.

Now that was a little bit of a deeper dive into just one company, but here will be a quicker, high-level view of some of the more niche blockchain companies, that are more focused on a specific solution.

The Render Network, through the use of RNDR tokens, is the first network to transform the power of GPU compute into a decentralized economy of connected 3D assets.

OTOYs vision is to distribute the framework of the existing rendering service in OctaneRender using RNDR, a digital token built on the Ethereum blockchain.

The Render Network is designed to connect users looking to perform render jobs with people who have idle GPUs to process the renders. Owners would connect their GPUs to the Render Network in order to receive and complete rendering jobs using OctaneRender. Users would send RNDR to the individual performing the render work and OTOY would receive a small percentage of RNDR for facilitating the transaction and running the Render Network.

Now all of these are what are called Defi ( Decentralized Finance ) apps. There is no one sole owner or decision-maker for these programs and they have been democratized and decentralized. There are controlled by tokens holders of tokens called Governance Tokens. This means you have to mine their proprietary token in order to have a say in how the application evolves. Each one has a different way to earn their token, and each one provides a different service. The one I wanted to spend more time on than the others is UniSwap, but I will get to that in just a second. The thought of decentralized finance is super appealing because it puts control of your finances into your own hands, and takes out a third-party of fees, regulations, and limitations. With no stipulations and open to anyone. The DeFi movement is groundbreaking because it gives everyone in the WORLD access to financial services that were limited to only certain areas or regions. It takes the power away from big banks monopolizing the market and paying fees while they profit from your hard-earned money. Now Defi is not for everyone, and there are some centralized crypto savings apps out there that are well established and can be actually safer than some defi ones (Coinbaseis a tried and true, safe exchange/ wallet, as iscrypto.comandBinanceUS (CRYPTO: BNB)I am going to do a separate article on these soon)**. Always make sure to do your research before putting your money into anything ( Ill dive deeper into this a little later).

Uniswapis a protocol for creating liquidity and trading ERC-20 tokens onEthereum (CRYPTO: ETH). It eliminates trusted intermediaries and unnecessary forms of rent extraction, allowing for fast, efficient trading. Where it makes tradeoffs decentralization, censorship resistance, and security are prioritized. Uniswap is open-source software licensed under GPL.Uniswap is one of the largest open-source and successful Dex/ defi programs out there. It can be a little expensive to swap tokens but has large liquidity and pools for high APY ROI. I wanted to give a little more info on this one because it is setting the standard for defi across the board.UniSwapis one of my top projects to keep up with and be a part of.

My last portion of blockchain/ cryptos to take a look at is payment processors specifically:

Stellaris an open-source network for currencies and payments. Stellar makes it possible to create, send and trade digital representations of all forms of money dollars, pesos, bitcoin, pretty much anything. Its designed so all the worlds financial systems can work together on a single network.

Stellar has no owner; if anything its owned by the public. The software runs across a decentralized, open network and handles millions of transactions each day. Like Bitcoin and Ethereum, Stellar relies on blockchain to keep the network in sync, but the end-user experience is more like cash Stellar is much faster, cheaper, and more energy-efficient than typical blockchain-based systems.I will let their description give you the jest of what it going on with them. I use them frequently for moving my crypto around and highly recommend their platform. As a former developer myself, I am always excited about amazing open-source projects that I can get behind and are making the world a better place.

Now that I have given you the rundown on what the blockchain is and on a few different companies with what they do, I will leave you with some safety guidelines for investing and how to maneuver around the decentralized web.

These key points will be crucial for being in this space. You can find them anywhere and they are pretty much common sense once you are familiar with this new wild west that is crypto.

That's pretty much the jest of what blockchain and crypto tech is. I know it was kind of a longer read, but I hope you enjoyed it and learned something. I wanted to make a disclaimer, that I am not a financial professional, and I do have affiliate links in some of the links with **. My goal is to bring crypto and blockchain to as many people as I can. I know there are a ton of people out here writing and doing the same, but I think that's a wonderful thing. If this is your first entry into this space, I hope you stay, make a better future for yourself, and give something back to this community. It's an amazing movement and I am thrilled to be a part of it.

The US government has launched a new initiative to tackle the use of cryptocurrency and assets to circumvent new sanctions imposed on Russia.

On Wednesday, Attorney General Merrick Garland, through the US Department of Justice's (DoJ) Office of Public Affairs, announced the creation of "Task Force KleptoCapture."

The team is described as "an interagency law enforcement task force dedicated to enforcing the sweeping sanctions, export restrictions, and economic countermeasures that the United States has imposed, along with allies and partners."

A range of sanctions has been imposed on both Russia and Belarus due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which is currently on its eighth day.

Sanctions include the removal of a number of Russian banks from the SWIFT global financial transaction system, travel bans, import and export bans on some goods, and asset freezes.

KleptoCapture will include "targeting" those who try to use cryptocurrency to avoid US sanctions and those who are trying to launder the "proceeds of foreign corruption" or to "evade US responses to Russian military aggression."

"The Task Force will be fully empowered to use the most cutting-edge investigative techniques -- including data analytics, cryptocurrency tracing, foreign intelligence sources, and information from financial regulators and private sector partners -- to identify sanctions evasion and related criminal misconduct," Garland says.

In addition, KleptoCapture will be tasked with preventing the "undermining" of sanctions by seizing assets "belonging to sanctioned individuals or assets identified as the proceeds of unlawful conduct" and by investigating alleged attempts to avoid Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and anti-laundering rules in the country.

"The Justice Department will use all of its authorities to seize the assets of individuals and entities who violate these sanctions," Garland commented. "We will leave no stone unturned in our efforts to investigate, arrest, and prosecute those whose criminal acts enable the Russian government to continue this unjust war. Let me be clear: if you violate our laws, we will hold you accountable."

Earlier this week, Ukraine's Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov asked cryptocurrency exchanges to restrict accounts belonging to users in Russia and Belarus. Furthermore, the government official has also requested information from the public on the "cryptowallets of Russian and Belarusian politicians."

On Wednesday, the US Senate approved new legislation that will force organizations to report cyberattacks impacting critical infrastructure to regulators within 72 hours. Senators Rob Portman and Gary Peters said that modernization of existing incident reporting laws is "urgently needed" due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

We've seen a spate of cyberattacks launched against Ukraine in the lead-up to Russia's invasion, and in response, Ukraine has attempted to form an "IT Army."
