Lockchain.ai

A key differentiator is Lockchain's use of generative AI to rapidly consume and analyze thousands of data sources. This facilitates traders with: 1?? A real-time view of risk 2?? Instant notification of important on- and off-chain events 3?? Actionable and straightforward insights on the event's potential effects 4?? Predictive impact analysis of contagion risk 5?? An automation engine to respond to events with pre-built playbooks and exit strategies Here's what two of our early users, Sean Swift (GSR) and Aviad S. (Broadridge), had to say about the power of the Lockchain platform.

Today, Lockchain.ai announced a $5 million Series A, and we’re thrilled to be doubling down on our initial investment. Lockchain is the first SaaS platform of its kind to leverage advanced AI in order to bring speed, scalability, transparency, and security to the rapidly evolving digital asset management industry. Lockchain’s risk management solution is capable of transforming the unique challenges that face the blockchain ecosystem into straightforward and actionable insights. Since we first invested, Lockchain has garnered strong traction with major firms like Broadridge and GSR, and now provides risk management recommendations to portfolios with an aggregate of more than $2 billion. LH Partner Andrea Hippeau recently had the chance to talk to CEO Andrew Howard about the Series A, the present state of the company, and what they have planned for 2025 and beyond.

Beyond crypto markets, a groundbreaking exploration of digital identity is unfolding in Buenos Aires ?? The city has become the first government globally to implement zero-knowledge proof technology for citizen identity management - marking a significant milestone in blockchain's practical applications. Why this development matters: 1. 3.6 million citizens gain self-custody of verified government credentials 2. Integration of 60+ official documents into the blockchain system 3. Zero-knowledge proofs enable selective information sharing while maintaining privacy The most compelling aspect? This isn't just another blockchain pilot. It's a real-world demonstration of how distributed ledger technology can enhance both security and accessibility in public services. This implementation bridges the gap between innovation and governance, showcasing blockchain's potential to enhance rather than replace existing systems. As more institutions explore digital transformation, this case study offers valuable insights into practical blockchain adoption. #BlockchainInnovation #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfIdentity #ZeroKnowledge Source: Buenos Aires Government Announcement - October 24, 2024

Election Poll Update ?? Mainstream: Data shows Harris with a solid lead Polymarket: Data shows Trump has the edge Why so different? Larger bets on Polymarket can skew the odds and perception, unlike mainstream and traditional polling mechanisms where 1 vote = 1 vote. But average bet sizes are pretty even (which can be queried, given that it's on-chain): Avg Bet ?? Trump Wins / Harris Loses: $4,440.53 Harris Wins / Trump Loses: $4,389.08 We'll know which polls were the most accurate sentiment gauge in 11 short days...

Major regulatory shifts are coming to the EU’s crypto landscape ?? The MiCAR and DORA frameworks are set to transform how Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASPs) operate. Let’s break down what’s ahead and how you can stay compliant. MiCAR (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) will take effect on December 30, 2024. It’s the EU’s answer to the crypto industry's call for clear, unified regulation. Here’s what it means for crypto firms: 1. Regulatory clarity across the EU 2. Enhanced investor protection 3. Reduced compliance costs With MiCAR, CASPs will no longer need to navigate a patchwork of national regulations. A single licensing regime will allow firms to operate across the entire EU. And it doesn’t stop there... Next, there is DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act). This regulation, which will be implemented in early 2025, ensures CASPs have the necessary frameworks to manage operational risks. Here’s why it matters: 1. Stronger risk management 2. ICT incident reporting 3. Third-party risk monitoring Third-party risk is especially critical. DORA mandates that CASPs have strategies in place in case providers fail, which avoids major disruptions in the crypto space. With trust in the industry at stake, resilience is critical. But compliance comes with challenges. Manual monitoring and risk assessments can slow down growth. That’s where automation comes in. Lockchain.ai provides a scalable solution for real-time monitoring that reduces costs and improves efficiency by automating many critical compliance tasks required by MiCAR and DORA. This enables CASPs to focus on growth rather than paperwork. Read the full post ?? https://lnkd.in/gbrzj6jx
