Cardano-Bitcoin DeFi are all over crypto headlines this week as Cardano brings decentralized finance to Bitcoin in a big way. The buzz follows this week’s Bitcoin-2025 conference in Las Vegas, where Cardano unveiled live DeFi integration, letting Bitcoin holders push and pull assets with Cardano’s smart contracts. That innovation has sparked discussion across Twitter and crypto forums. Yet, there’s a quietly brewing contender—one described with sharp adjectives for its utility-first design and real-world payout potential rather than hype. Live Bitcoin DeFi Bitcoin: Cardano’s Bold Step Forward Cardano’s new Cardinal protocol lets BTC flow into its DeFi system for lending, trading,…
Stellar has been trading between $0.44 and $0.46, holding firm despite market volatility. Large investors have been making notable moves, including a 245 million XLM transfer in just five minutes. Such whale accumulation suggests growing confidence in Stellar’s potential to rally toward $1. Institutional interest is also increasing. Blockchain payment solutions are drawing more attention from both centralized exchanges and decentralized platforms. Analysts see this as part of a broader shift toward Payfi solutions solving real-world issues with low gas fees and cross-border efficiency. Remittix Is Leading the Pack as the Best Presale of 2025 Alongside Stellar’s growth, Remittix is…
Cloud-native is the new standard. Over 90% of organizations now use some form of cloud computing, according to O’Reilly. Yet as cloud adoption accelerates, so do the costs, catching many businesses off guard. The assumption that cloud computing is inherently cost-effective has begun to unravel. Instead of predictable capital expenditures, organizations now face fluctuating operational costs. Poorly optimized workloads, hidden fees, and vendor lock-in have led to ballooning cloud bills. The rise of AI-driven workloads has only added to the financial strain. Josson Paul Kalapparambath, Software Engineering Technical Leader at Cisco specializing in architecting scalable platforms and solutions, has seen…
Artificial intelligence has crossed a major threshold. Nearly three-quarters of organizations report using AI in at least one business function, a sharp rise from just half in 2020. As adoption picks up, industry conversations have shifted from performance at the model level to how companies can reliably and efficiently deliver these intelligent services and platforms. Without a solid infrastructure foundation, even the most advanced AI models struggle when faced with the unpredictable reality of production environments. To better understand these demands, we turn to Karthik Puthraya, a Senior Software Engineer at Netflix who specializes in high-availability infrastructure for AI and…
Wi-Fi has become the foundation of modern digital life, powering everything from high-frequency trading and telemedicine to smart factories and autonomous transportation. As demand for faster, more reliable networks accelerates, the industry is responding with a wave of innovation: advancements in Wi-Fi 6E/ Wi-Fi 7, AI-driven network optimization, and adaptive wireless architectures are transforming how businesses and consumers stay connected. Few understand these challenges better than Kshitij Mahant, a leader in enterprise networking innovation. Early in his career, he helped deploy sustainable wireless solutions in underserved regions, including rebuilding connectivity for Haiti’s state university system after the 2010 earthquake. Now,…
From the outside, food delivery seems simple: tap your phone, get your meal. But under the hood lies one of the most complex, fast-paced engineering ecosystems in modern tech. Routing, order batching, driver dispatch, real-time fraud detection, payment reconciliation, and live location updates all depend on backend systems designed to function at near-instant speed—often under massive, unpredictable load. In this domain, engineering isn’t just about uptime; it’s about trust, safety, and user confidence at scale. Omung Goyal, a Senior IEEE member, understands what most people don’t see when they tap “Order Now.” As a software engineer at DoorDash, he works…
AI-Based Player Profiling in iGaming Digital gaming platforms continue to expand their services. Personalised engagement is now a key part of success in iGaming. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are helping operators improve how they track and understand their users. AI-based profiling is no longer a secondary feature. It allows gaming platforms to tailor promotions, interface, and user paths based on data patterns. On platforms like the Bizbet Africa site, profiling tools guide how games are offered and which bonuses are shown to different players. Understanding how profiling works Player profiling uses algorithms that track in-game behaviour, transaction history, and response…
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a massive shift in digital behavior, accelerating the development and adoption of online applications across nearly every industry. From healthcare to entertainment, education to gaming, online platforms were forced to evolve rapidly to meet the changing demands of users who were suddenly confined to their homes. As the world slowly moved toward a new normal, the habits formed during lockdown didn’t fade away—they evolved. Today, post-pandemic apps are more efficient, interconnected, and user-centered than ever before. Telehealth and Remote Medical Services One of the most significant transformations occurred in the healthcare industry. Telehealth platforms, once seen…
The dredging industry continues to evolve with modern technologies reshaping how sediment is managed, rivers are restored, and coastal infrastructure is protected. From advanced slurry pumps to adaptable dredge units, innovation is addressing challenges like environmental sustainability, precision excavation, and system reliability. As demand grows across sectors such as mining, construction, and marine maintenance, Pump & Dredge manufacturing is pushing boundaries through smarter equipment and integrated systems. In this article, we explore key technological developments in the dredging sector—starting with Pump and Dredge Africa, followed by notable contributions from five other manufacturers operating in the region and beyond. Pump and…
Enterprise growth today is not about brute-force expansion. It is about precision—the ability to align resources with real-time market signals and operationalize strategy quickly. Revenue operations, once a back-office reporting function, is now becoming the strategic foundation of go-to-market design. Few leaders have shaped this shift more directly than Roshin Unnikrishnan. As Senior Director of Growth and Revenue Operations at Cisco and a member at Operators Guild, Roshin has helped reimagine the RevOps model at scale. With over a decade of experience across North America, Europe, and Asia, he has led a transition from isolated insights to systems-based intelligence. His…
