Bitget Wallet lance le kit de développement OmniConnect et relie un milliard d’utilisateurs Telegram à l’écosystème multichaîne Web3

VICTORIA, Seychelles, 01 oct. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget Wallet, l’un des principaux portefeuilles Web3 non dépositaires, a annoncé le lancement d’OmniConnect, un kit de développement logiciel qui permet aux développeurs de connecter de manière fluide les mini–applications Telegram aux écosystèmes multichaînes sur plus de 500 blockchains, y compris les mainnets comme Solana, TON et toutes les chaînes compatibles EVM. Cette intégration permet aux mini–applications Telegram d’utiliser Bitget Wallet afin de signer et d’effectuer des transactions sur plusieurs réseaux blockchain. Les futurs projets d’OmniConnect vont au–delà de la seule prise en charge des mini–applications Telegram. Ils visent à s’étendre aux plugins, aux applications mobiles et aux plateformes Web, pour permettre des interactions transparentes sur n’importe quelle blockchain.

Ce lancement représente une avancée majeure dans l’intégration des écosystèmes Web3 avec Telegram, car il offre un moyen simplifié et efficace d’interagir avec plusieurs blockchains à plus d’un milliard d’utilisateurs et de développeurs Telegram. Par son intégration à Bitget Wallet, Telegram se transforme en une passerelle complète vers le Web3 et facilite ainsi une transition plus fluide depuis le Web2. En offrant un point d’entrée accessible aux personnes qui n’ont pas encore interagi avec les technologies décentralisées, les mini–applications Telegram jouent un rôle crucial dans l’intégration des nouveaux utilisateurs au Web3. Cela est conforme au projet de Bitget Wallet qui vise à connecter un milliard d’utilisateurs de plateformes sociales à l’ensemble de l’univers Web3, démarche qui constitue un élément central de la stratégie plus large de Bitget Onchain Layer.

Alvin Kan, directeur de l’exploitation de Bitget Wallet, a souligné l’importance de ce développement en déclarant : « Auparavant, les mini–applications de Telegram ne pouvaient interagir qu’avec le réseau TON, ce qui rendait difficile l’interaction des utilisateurs avec d’autres chaînes publiques. Le kit OmniConnect de Bitget Wallet vise à combler cette lacune en permettant une interaction multi–chaîne fluide via Bitget Wallet. Nous sommes ravis de voir davantage de développeurs et d’écosystèmes blockchain nous rejoindre afin de créer un environnement Web3 plus ouvert et plus prospère sur Telegram. » En outre, Bitget Wallet devrait annoncer d’autres initiatives visant à renforcer l’écosystème plus large des mini–applications et à approfondir l’intégration avec Telegram, autant de projets qui devraient améliorer les capacités et la portée des deux plateformes et profiter à la communauté des constructeurs au sens large.

Bitget Wallet a déjà mis en place une intégration approfondie au sein des écosystèmes Telegram et TON en partenariat avec des projets majeurs tels que Tomarket, Catizen et Yescoin. La plateforme a été la première à étendre le portefeuille sans clé MPC au réseau principal TON, à développer des bots de trading pour Telegram et à proposer des fonctionnalités de trading multi–chaînes, des opérations sans frais de gaz sur les DApps TON et un accès aux cryptolargages de projets populaires. Grâce aux efforts déployés par Bitget Wallet, le portefeuille s’est positionné comme une infrastructure cruciale au sein de l’écosystème Telegram. Pendant le seul mois d’août 2024, Bitget Wallet a enregistré près de 2 millions de téléchargements, ce qui en fait le portefeuille le plus téléchargé au monde selon les données de l’App Store et de Google Play.

Avec plus de 30 millions d’utilisateurs dans le monde, Bitget Wallet s’engage à favoriser l’adoption massive du Web3 en simplifiant l’accès via son portefeuille sans clé MPC qui permet d’effectuer des connexions sécurisées à l’aide de méthodes courantes comme le courrier électronique, l’identifiant Apple, les comptes Google et Telegram. En tant que portefeuille de plateforme tout–en–un, Bitget Wallet continue d’étendre ses fonctionnalités dans des directions telles que « Wallet+Trading », qui permet aux utilisateurs de trader directement dans leurs propres portefeuilles, et « Wallet+Social », qui intègre des fonctionnalités sociales toute en se connectant à Telegram et aux écosystèmes multi–chaînes. Alvin Kan a ajouté : « Notre objectif est d’être la passerelle d’adoption massive du Web3 en facilitant, même pour les utilisateurs non Web3, l’accès à la DeFi, aux jeux sur blockchain et à l’écosystème cryptographique plus large ».

A Bitget Wallet lança Kit de Desenvolvimento OmniConnect, conectando um bilhão de usuários do Telegram ao ecossistema Web3 multichain

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Sept. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Bitget Wallet, uma das principais carteiras Web3 sem custódia, anunciou o lançamento do OmniConnect, um kit de desenvolvimento de software que permite aos desenvolvedores conectar Mini–Apps do Telegram de forma integrada a ecossistemas multicadeia, abrangendo mais de 500 blockchains, incluindo Mainnets como Solana, TON e todas as blockchains compatíveis com EVM. A integração permite que as Mini–Apps do Telegram utilizem a Bitget Wallet para assinar e realizar transações em várias redes blockchain. Os planos futuros do OmniConnect vão além do suporte aos Mini–Apps do Telegram, com o objetivo de expandir para plugins, aplicativos para celular e plataformas web, permitindo interações perfeitas em qualquer blockchain.

Este lançamento representa um grande avanço na integração dos ecossistemas Web3 com o Telegram, oferecendo a mais de um bilhão de usuários e desenvolvedores do Telegram uma maneira simplificada e eficiente de interagir com várias blockchains.\ Ao integrar–se com a Bitget Wallet, o Telegram se transforma em um portal Web3 completo, facilitando uma transição mais suave da Web2. Os Mini–Apps do Telegram desempenham um papel crucial na introdução de novos usuários à Web3, oferecendo um ponto de entrada acessível para pessoas que ainda não tiveram contato com tecnologias descentralizadas. Isso está alinhado com a visão da Bitget Wallet de conectar um bilhão de usuários de plataformas sociais ao mundo completo da Web3, formando uma parte central da estratégia mais ampla de Bitget Onchain Layer.

Alvin Kan, COO da Bitget Wallet, destacou a importância desse desenvolvimento, afirmando: “Anteriormente, os Mini–Apps do Telegram só podiam interagir com a rede TON, o que dificultava o envolvimento com outras blockchains públicas. O OmniConnect da Bitget Wallet visa preencher essa lacuna, permitindo uma interação multichain perfeita por meio da Bitget Wallet. “Estamos empolgados para que mais desenvolvedores e ecossistemas blockchain se juntem a nós na construção de um ambiente Web3 mais aberto e próspero no Telegram.” Além disso, a Bitget Wallet está prestes a anunciar mais iniciativas voltadas para capacitar o ecossistema completo de Mini–Apps e aprofundar a integração com o Telegram, o que deve aumentar as capacidades e o alcance de ambas as plataformas, beneficiando a comunidade de desenvolvedores em geral.

A Bitget Wallet já estabeleceu uma integração profunda nos ecossistemas do Telegram e do TON, formando parcerias com projetos importantes como Tomarket, Catizen e Yescoin. Foi a primeira a estender a carteira sem chave baseada em MPC para a Mainnet do TON, desenvolveu bots de negociação para o Telegram e ofereceu experiências de trading multicadeia, sem taxas de gás em DApps do TON, além de acesso a airdrops de projetos populares. Através desses esforços, a Bitget Wallet se posicionou como uma infraestrutura crucial no ecossistema do Telegram. Somente em agosto de 2024, a Bitget Wallet registrou quase 2 milhões de downloads, tornando–se a carteira mais baixada globalmente, de acordo com dados da App Store e Google Play.

Com mais de 30 milhões de usuários em todo o mundo, a Bitget Wallet está empenhada em promover a adoção generalizada da Web3, simplificando o acesso por meio de sua carteira sem chave baseada em MPC, que permite logins seguros utilizando métodos familiares como e–mail, Apple ID, contas do Google e Telegram. Como uma carteira de plataforma integrada, a Bitget Wallet continua expandindo suas funcionalidades em direções como “Wallet+Trading”, permitindo que os usuários negociem diretamente dentro de suas carteiras, e “Wallet+Social”, que integra funcionalidades sociais e se conecta com o Telegram e ecossistemas multicamada. Alvin Kan acrescentou: “Nosso objetivo é ser o portal para a adoção em massa da Web3, facilitando o acesso de usuários que não são da Web3 à DeFi, aos jogos de blockchain e ao ecossistema cripto mais amplo..”

Bitget Wallet bringt OmniConnect Dev Kit auf den Markt und verbindet eine Milliarde Telegram-Nutzer mit dem Multichain Web3-Ökosystem

VICTORIA, Seychellen, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget Wallet, ein führendes Web3–Wallet ohne Verwaltung der Schlüssel durch eine Drittpartei, hat die Einführung von OmniConnect bekanntgegeben, einem Software–Entwicklungskit, das es Entwicklern ermöglicht, Telegram Mini–Apps nahtlos an Multichain–Ökosysteme mit über 500 Blockchains anzuschließen, darunter Mainnets wie Solana, TON und alle EVM–kompatiblen Chains. Die Integration ermöglicht es Telegram Mini–Apps, Bitget Wallet zum Signieren und Durchführen von Transaktionen über mehrere Blockchain–Netzwerke hinweg zu nutzen. Die Zukunftspläne von OmniConnect gehen über die Unterstützung von Telegram Mini–Apps hinaus und zielen darauf ab, Plugins, mobile Apps und Webplattformen zu erweitern, um nahtlose Interaktionen über jede Blockchain zu ermöglichen.

Diese Veröffentlichung bedeutet einen großen Sprung in der Integration von Web3–Ökosystemen mit Telegram und bietet über einer Milliarde Telegram–Nutzern und –Entwicklern eine vereinfachte, effiziente Möglichkeit, mit mehreren Blockchains zu interagieren. Durch die Integration mit Bitget Wallet verwandelt sich Telegram in ein umfassendes Gateway zum Web3, das einen reibungsloseren Übergang vom Web2 ermöglicht. Die Telegram Mini–Apps spielen eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Einführung neuer Nutzer in Web3 und bieten einen leicht zugänglichen Einstieg für Personen, die bisher noch nicht mit dezentralen Technologien interagiert haben. Dies steht im Einklang mit der Vision von Bitget Wallet, eine Milliarde Nutzer über soziale Plattformen mit der gesamten Web3–Welt zu verbinden, und bildet einen Kernbestandteil der weiter gefassten Bitget Onchain–Layer–Strategie.

Alvin Kan, COO von Bitget Wallet, hob die Bedeutung dieser Entwicklung hervor: „Vormals konnten Telegram Mini–Apps nur mit dem TON–Netzwerk interagieren, was es schwierig machte, sich mit anderen öffentlichen Ketten zu verbinden. OmniConnect von Bitget Wallet zielt darauf ab, diese Lücke zu schließen und eine nahtlose Multi–Chain–Interaktion über Bitget Wallet zu ermöglichen. Wir freuen uns auf weitere Entwickler und Blockchain–Ökosysteme, die sich uns anschließen, um eine offenere und florierende Web3–Umgebung auf Telegram zu schaffen.“ Darüber hinaus wird Bitget Wallet weitere Initiativen ankündigen, die darauf abzielen, das breitere Mini–App–Ökosystem zu stärken und die Integration mit Telegram zu vertiefen. Es wird erwartet, dass diese Initiativen die Fähigkeiten und die Reichweite beider Plattformen verbessern und der breiteren Builder–Community zugute kommen.

Bitget Wallet hat bereits eine tiefgreifende Integration in das Telegram– und TON–Ökosystem etabliert und ist Partnerschaften mit wichtigen Projekten wie Tomarket, Catizen und Yescoin eingegangen. Es war das erste Unternehmen, das die schlüssellose MPC–Wallet auf das TON–Mainnet ausdehnte, Handelsbots für Telegram entwickelte und Multi–Chain–Handel, Null–Gas–Gebühren–Erfahrungen auf TON–DApps und Zugang zu beliebten Projekt–Airdrops bot. Durch diese Bemühungen hat sich Bitget Wallet als eine wichtige Infrastruktur im Telegram–Ökosystem positioniert. Allein im August 2024 wurde Bitget Wallet fast 2 Millionen Mal heruntergeladen und ist damit laut App Store– und Google Play–Daten die am häufigsten heruntergeladene Wallet weltweit.

Mit über 30 Millionen Nutzern weltweit ist Bitget Wallet bestrebt, die Massenakzeptanz von Web3 zu fördern, indem es den Zugang durch seine MPC Keyless Wallet vereinfacht, die sichere Anmeldungen über vertraute Methoden wie E–Mail, Apple ID, Google–Konten und Telegram ermöglicht. Als All–in–One–Plattform–Wallet erweitert Bitget Wallet seine Funktionen in Richtungen wie „Wallet+Trading“, die es Nutzern ermöglicht, direkt in ihren Wallets zu handeln, und „Wallet+Social“, die soziale Funktionen integriert und sich mit Telegram und Multi–Chain–Ökosystemen verbindet. Alvin Kan fügte hinzu: „Unser Ziel ist es, das Tor für eine massenhafte Web3–Akzeptanz zu sein und auch Nicht–Web3–Nutzern den Zugang zu DeFi, Blockchain–Spielen und dem breiteren Krypto–Ökosystem leicht zu machen.“

Technology Pushes the boundaries of online payments in 2024: MDC examines biometric payments

WATERFORD, Ireland, Sept. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new phenomenon in 2024 is taking digital payments to the next level – biometric facial and fingerprint verification. Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC) – a division of the OneTwenty Group – decided to analyze this technology in September 2024 and found it was reshaping how people make payments, especially at regulated online casinos.

“This is without a doubt a next–generation experience. With a simple glance or touch, players can easily verify their identity when making deposits and withdrawals. This magnifies convenience for players by eliminating cumbersome steps and long waiting periods – truly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible,” said Miranda Raaff, Head of iGaming Information at MDC.

“We’ve seen a shift in how players choose to make deposits as low as $1. With the demand for faster, more secure transactions growing worldwide, biometric payments have become a game–changer, banishing the need for passwords and PINs, and setting a new standard across the global online casino space. And this could not have come at a more prudent time, when Halloween (#1 October 2024) is around the corner.”

While speed and convenience are crucial, the security of digital payments cannot be overstated. The ecosystem is built on cutting–edge mechanics that ensure financial information is protected with the highest standards of security. Advanced military encryption methods, multi–factor authentication, and blockchain technology ensure that transactions are not only fast but also safe from potential cyber threats.

“The technology that powers this payment solution is nothing short of remarkable. Blockchain particularly adds an extra layer of protection which makes it nearly impossible for transactions to be altered or tampered with. Players can now make secure transactions in seconds without worrying about remembering passwords. It’s the future of digital payments, and it’s happening right now before our eyes,” said Raaff.

As the digital payment ecosystem continues to evolve, MDC emphasized that regulated online casinos were embracing it with open arms.

About MDC

MDC, a division of the OneTwenty Group, is a global iGaming resource portal that reviews and recommends the most trusted and regulated online casinos to players. MDC analyses every aspect of online casinos from checking gaming license details to security, responsible gambling tools, and fair gaming practices, before recommending them to players.

Will the UN’s Pact of The Future Modernize the World’s Outdated Multilateral Systems?

UNITED NATIONS, Sep 30 2024 – While most world leaders who attended the United Nations inaugural Summit of the Future—a two-day high-level event at UN headquarters in New York meant to address the most pressing global challenges of the 21st century—agree that the world’s aging multilateral system needs modernizing, not all agree on how to get there.

“We will not succeed in overcoming our existential challenges if we are not prepared to change the global governance structures that are rooted in the outcome of World War II and have become unsuited to today’s world,” said Mia Mottley, the prime minister of Barbados, at the summit on September 22. “What the world needs now is a reset.”

For the countries that make up the global South—while not a monolith—the path to reform begins with overhauling the current international financial architecture that has trapped developing countries in an untenable cycle of debt. Still, there is doubt that the blueprint for reform presented in the summit’s non-binding outcome document, the Pact for the Future, goes far enough to rally the political will needed for change.

Despite months of fraught negotiations and a last-minute amendment tabled by Russia that was rejected, the pact was adopted by consensus on the first day of the summit.

“The Pact for the Future designed an excellent building, but it didn’t leave that many instructions for the construction of the building,” said Tim Hirschel-Burns, policy liaison for the Boston University Global Development Policy Center.

With its 56 action items, the pact, a 42-page document, addresses five areas of global concern: sustainable development and financing, international peace and security, digital cooperation, youth and future generations, and global governance. It also includes two separate annexes, a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations.

But while Hirschel-Burns describes the language in the pact as “weak” and “fairly vague,” he told IPS there is still room for some optimism considering that “the pact is signed from leaders [and] heads of states representing the peoples of the world,” and so “you have a really high mandate” for action, he added. Notably, no leaders from the P5 countries—the United States, United Kingdom, France, China and Russia—spoke at the summit.

One promising action item in the pact calls on signees to close the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) financing gap—estimated at 4.2 trillion annually—in developing countries. Established in 2015, the SDGs act as a blueprint to eliminate a wide range of global challenges, including poverty, hunger and inequality, by 2030.

However, progress on the SDGs has fluctuated for countries drowning in debt and who are without sustainable options for affordable financing. The most recent SDG report estimates that “only 17 percent of the SDG targets are on track,” in some cases, progress has stalled or even regressed.

Still, Hirschel-Burns told IPS, “Even if the Pact for the Future doesn’t have a clear roadmap for addressing unsustainable debt, the bigger outcomes pledged in the pact [including SDG funding] won’t happen unless there is meaningful action on debt relief.”

When accessing financing, global South countries are traditionally met with much higher interest rates than their neighbors in the West. According to the latest UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report, “developing regions—in Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa—borrow at rates that are 2 to 4 times higher than those of the United States and 6 to 12 times higher than those of Germany.”

This dynamic has led to developing nations racking up USD 365 billion in external debt—money owed to foreign investors, governments and multilateral institutions in 2022.” The report found that 3.3 billion people “live in countries that spend more on interest payments than education or health.” That is nearly 40 percent of the total global population of 8 million.

A separate 2023 report published by Debt Justice, an organization based in London that aims to end unjust debt practices, found that “lower-income country debt payments in 2023 hit their highest level since 1998.” And external debt payments “for 91 countries will average at least 16.3 percent of government revenue in 2023, rising to 16.7 percent in 2024, an increase of over 150 percent since 2011.”

In addition to high interest rates and lack of political will, however, there are additional structural causes for developing countries’ high debt levels, said Iolanda Fresnillo, policy and advocacy manager for the European Network on Debt and Development (EURODAD), such as unfair trade relations, technology dependence on China and the global North, along with the impact of exogenous shocks such as major climate events, pandemics and war.

When countries already drowning in debt do not have the tools to deal with the consequences of a hurricane, an earthquake or a change in oil or other commodity prices, they have to borrow more, Fresnillo told IPS. So, to repay their growing debt, countries cut health and education expenditures and investments in climate adaptation and mitigation, leaving them unprepared for the next major climate event. “We call it the debt and climate vicious cycle,” she said.

Notably, it is the countries of the global North that emit an excess of the emissions that drive climate change, but it is the underdeveloped nations of the global South that suffer consequences that compound the debt cycle.

“The international community [must take] much more ambitious action to address this climate crisis,” said Ralph Gonsalves, prime minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, at the Summit of the Future on Sept. 22. “Otherwise, all of us here—we are going to go to hell in a handbasket. You know it, and I know it.”

Meanwhile, Fresnillo told IPS that before any multilateral system or blueprint for the future can tackle the issue of debt reform, a “common framework” must be established. “So when we say that the debt architecture needs a reform, what we mean is that we need a debt architecture,” as there are no rules when developing countries face a crisis and need to restructure their debt.

“It’s crazy,” Fresnillo said. “When a company goes bankrupt, there are rules that the company has to follow in order to address that bankruptcy,” but that doesn’t exist for countries. “It’s terribly unfair because then who bears the burden is the people in the country.”
