Huobi Global announces Cube investment as part of Web 3.0 ecosystem strategy

Huobi Global

Huobi Global, a world-leading cryptocurrency exchange and blockchain solutions provider, today announced its investment in Cube, a public chain that provides innovative infrastructure for Web 3.0 and the metaverse. The launch took place at the Consensus 2022 Conference by CoinDesk in Austin, Texas, underscoring Huobi Global’s latest strategy to expand its Web 3.0 ecosystem. Cube (formerly Cube Chain) is a new, modular, permissionless and EVM-compatible public chain with a design based on multi-chain and layered architecture. It offers breakthrough technologies such as proprietary collaborative rollups, chaos consensus, non-linear infinite storage and an innovative Time Crossing protocol for the infrastructure of Web 3.0. Since its mainnet was launched earlier this week, Cube has garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback. To help more people transition to Web 3.0, Huobi Global is focused on embracing and developing the Web 3.0 infrastructure and the metaverse, where there is huge potential in the explosive growth of blockchain applications such as NFTs, DeFi and GameFi. “Huobi Global has picked Cube as one of the public chains we will invest in under our Web 3.0 development strategy. In the near future, we will continue to invest in more public chains as we are optimistic about Web 3.0 and are committed to improving its infrastructure,” said Lily Zhang, CFO of Huobi Global. It is widely acknowledged in the industry that Web 3.0 is the future of the Internet, with blockchain and public chains serving as the core technology and infrastructure, respectively. With the emergence of NFTs, DeFi and other blockchain applications, many public chains have launched in the market. However, the explosive growth of GameFi, DeFi and NFTs has resulted in an exponential increase in transaction volumes on these public chains. The early public chains have been unable to meet user needs in terms of timeliness or cost-effectiveness. For instance, Ethereum takes about 10 minutes to complete a transaction during peak periods, and the gas fee could reach several hundreds of dollars. In addition, how to solve the blockchain trilemma – a widely-held belief that decentralized networks can only offer two out of three benefits at any given time with respect to decentralization, security and scalability – has also been a common challenge for industry players. To better meet the needs of the industry, Cube uses a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain as the basis to solve the challenge of blockchain expansion, and offers users an efficient, low-cost and secure trading environment. It divides the blockchain vertically, applies a layered architecture, splits the settlement, execution and data availability of the blockchain, and optimizes them according to their respective characteristics. With a cross-chain protocol that supports cross-chain DeFi calls, Cube is compatible with the Cosmos ecosystem. Under its current design, Cube can process about 3000 transactions per second and the number is expected to exceed 5,000 by the end of September this year, and the data availability requirements of Rollup and NFT ensure an efficient and reliable full-stack solution for the development of Web 3.0. About Huobi Global Founded in 2013, Huobi Global is one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, with tens of millions of users across five continents and 160 different countries. We are dedicated to empowering financial freedom and creating new global wealth, having led the cryptocurrency industry in spot, derivatives, and Bitcoin transactions for many years. Our infrastructure, operations and offerings are built on processes and standards that prioritize user safety and industry compliance, backed by strong global customer support underpinned by local expertise. This lets us offer a unique trading environment that is truly customer-first, safe and sustainable for all users, enabling their long-term success.

New Survey Shows the Next Generation Embraces Remote Work for College to Career Transition

Velocity Global

Seven out of ten U.S. college-aged adults are likely to consider an entirely remote job One out of four never expect to hold a traditional 9-to-5 office job, and 85% see themselves holding a side gig Nine out of ten express anxiety about entering the workforce A survey released today by Velocity Global, the leading provider of global talent solutions, shows that U.S. college-aged adults embrace remote work in their career transition plans. The College to Career Survey examined 1,000 college-aged respondents’ attitudes on remote work and their work-life balance expectations as they prepare to transition into the workforce. “The next generation wants to work remotely, balance their ‘personal’ and ‘work’ lives, and prioritize flexibility and mental well-being. Companies should take notice: The old way of doing business is over,” said Sarah Fern, chief people officer at Velocity Global. “Put simply, students want the flexibility to work with anyone, anywhere, anytime, and they expect employers to meet them where they are.” Key findings on remote work: 69% of respondents are somewhat or extremely likely to consider a job that is entirely remote 80% of students would consider taking less money for their job if it allowed a remote option The majority (57%) say being remote increases their productivity Nine out of ten respondents report work-life balance as being either the most important factor (53%) or a somewhat important factor (37%) in selecting a career Fewer than 1 in 5 (18%) say they prefer to work from an office five days per week Fewer than half (44%) of respondents plan to have a traditional (Monday-Friday, 9-to-5) in-person job, and 1 out of 4 (23%) never expect to hold a traditional office job Impacts on emotional well-being: The survey also found a large impact on the emotional well-being of respondents as a result of the move to remote work and learning over the last several years. 56% of respondents acknowledged remote work/study negatively impacted their mental health “a lot” (14%) or “somewhat” (42%) 86% reported a high level of stress or anxiety about entering the workforce, including 35% who indicated they are “very” anxious about entering the workforce, and an additional 51% said they are “somewhat” anxious about doing so Participation in the gig economy: An overwhelming majority of students intend to supplement their primary job with a side gig. 85% of respondents said they either definitely (27%) or possibly (58%) expect to have a side gig in addition to their primary job “That number is staggering, and the C-suite needs to harness the possibilities of tomorrow’s workforce who have varied interests, skills, and allegiances,” said Fern. “Talent is telling us how they will succeed, and it includes full-time, part-time, contract, and freelance work - and sometimes a combination of these. It is entirely possible for you to get the best from your talent while they also pursue other interests. It works for both of you.” International results: The survey also gathered input from 500 students and recent graduates in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and 500 in Brazil, with very similar results. 72% in the U.K. said they would consider an entirely remote position, and a staggering 85% in Brazil say the same 84% of respondents in the U.K. and 82% in Brazil said they would be willing to consider a position that paid less money if it offered the flexibility to work from anywhere “These trends with college students and recent graduates in the U.S. are mirrored in other parts of the world, highlighting the accessibility of a global workforce. In the U.K. and Brazil — where Velocity Global clients increasingly seek supported talent — work flexibility is seen as one of the most compelling factors considered when entering the job market,” said Fern. Methodology: This survey was conducted on behalf of Velocity Global by Rep Data. All selected samples were subjected to stringent quality control standards, including technological controls such as automatic geographical IP detection, tracking and deduplication, open-end pre-screening, and re-captchas. Rep Data sourced multiple suppliers to ensure a representative sample, each supplier possessing its own unique recruitment model and incentive structure, which increased sample source diversity and quality.

Pencil partners with Adobe to bring AI-generated ads to brands & agencies

Pencil

Creative AI company Pencil has partnered with Adobe to bring professional-grade, AI-generated video ads to creative teams in brands and agencies. With the mass pivot to ecommerce over the past 24 months, brands have leaned heavily on online advertising to acquire new customers and grow their businesses. However, successful online advertising calls for massive volumes of on-brand, personalized content. Pencil has been using algorithms to help brands & agencies generate online advertising content at 10x lower time and cost, while improving results by 2x, since 2018. During the pandemic, Pencil saw the need for both automation and sustainability with respect to creative jobs as companies began to shift advertising operations online. By integrating Pencil’s AI-generated ads technology with Adobe After Effects, creative teams in brands and agencies now have access to tools allowing them to operate at scale – eliminating repetitive tasks so they can focus on more conceptual work. Powering higher production value AI content with Adobe After Effects capabilities One of the main challenges of AI content generation is the production quality – professional grade transitions, animations and video effects can make or break an ad’s aesthetic, which in turn affects customer engagement and return-on-advertising-spend (ROAS). The superior visual quality enabled by Adobe After Effects gives brands and their marketing strategies an additional edge over their competitors not using AI ads. Improving creative workflows and kindling inspiration with Pencil and Adobe After Effects Integrating Adobe After Effects into Pencil enables professional creative teams already working with Adobe to seamlessly adopt AI content generation within their existing workflows. The integration not only benefits creatives, but also small business owners who can now access professional grade advertising content at an accessible low cost. Whether you’re a professional creative, large brand marketer or small business owner, Pencil joining forces with Adobe After Effects enhances the scale, quality and performance of creative work that you’re able to achieve. Rob Carliner, Co-founder/COO of Angela Caglia Skincare, commented: "Pencil is by far the best way to create winning video ads at scale. By combining Oscar-worthy AI editing software (powered by Adobe After Effects) with AI learning algorithms it effectively eliminates the guesswork out of what makes for winning ad creatives." Will Hanschell, Co-Founder and CEO of Pencil commented: “ Our decision to integrate Adobe After Effects in our platform was an easy one. Being able to provide professional-grade AI content was originally an internal challenge but we were able to turn that around with Adobe After Effects network rendering. It has also allowed us to improve the processes and workflows of our creative users, and allowed them to focus more on shaping quality content rather than repetitive creative tasks.” In addition to its new Adobe After Effects integration, Pencil leverages proprietary technology to generate video, derive insights and make predictions, as well as integrating the OpenAI API to generate ad copy. The OpenAI API provides access to GPT-3, one of the world’s most powerful language models. Pencil is among the companies approved to use it commercially. This approval requires strict criteria in AI safety and ethics. About Pencil Pencil is a Creative AI company on a mission to generate unexpected ideas that get results. Pencil generates ads that learn to perform, delivering the return on ad spend that helps brands scale their businesses. Pencil’s AI-generated ads are a new way of making ads that algorithmically optimise for creative novelty, brand relevance and return on advertising spend. It always starts from a human brief and it always involves total human editorial control. Pencil’s Creative AI platform generates ads in minutes and has been shown to double returns for brands. Pencil was founded in 2018 with a team from Google, Meta and Uber and is backed by Sequoia Capital India’s Surge, Wavemaker Partners, Singapore Innovate and Entrepreneur First.
