In that role, Lewis worked with many of the industry’s largest RIAs and broker-dealers, overseeing customer success and support efforts, including onboarding, relationship management, and solutions consulting. Her efforts helped AdvicePay achieve a 36% increase in transaction volume while maintaining a 100% enterprise customer retention rate. “After conducting a thorough search that included internal and external candidates, the board unanimously agreed that Kelsey is the right person to help lead this company into the future,” Moore said. “Kelsey has been a key contributor to AdvicePay’s leadership team, and this promotion reflects her commitment to our customers and her passion for furthering AdvicePay’s strong culture and mission. I look forward to working with her to create a blueprint for delivering on our ambitious growth strategy as industry and consumer demand for fee-for-service planning continues to grow over the next several years.” In her new President role, Lewis will serve as an Integrator, overseeing day-to-day company management and ensuring all departments are working closely to execute on the strategic goals of the company. She will also serve as the highest point of escalation for customers. “I am incredibly, deeply honored to take on this new role at AdvicePay, a company whose core values resonate deeply with me.” Lewis said. “Having spent most of my career in a customer-facing role, I am acutely aware of their needs and priorities. We are serving more advisory firms than ever, and by elevating me to this important leadership position from being Head of Customer Success, AdvicePay and its Board are demonstrating their customer-centric focus and commitment at the highest level. I am committed to nurturing the collaborative and people-first culture of AdvicePay as we continue to grow.” Before joining AdvicePay, Lewis held positions as the Director of Operations at a consumer goods company, and before that, was the Director of Client Experience at a learning management software company. Lewis earned her MBA from the University of Utah – David Eccles School of Business. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in marketing from Westminster University.

Spectral Labs Joins Hugging Face’s ESP Program to advance the Onchain x Open-Source AI Community

Spectral Labs

Spectral is excited to announce its participation in Hugging Face’s Expert Support Program. Spectral is collaborating with deep learning experts from Hugging Face to advance open-source models, datasets, and applications for the Onchain Agent Economy. How to use Hugging Face Hugging Face plays a critical role across Spectral’s organization. Through the Expert Support Program, Spectral regularly meets with the Hugging Face team to plan new use cases, strategize dataset construction, and develop training strategies. Earlier this year, Spectral launched Syntax, which is composed of a fine-tuned LLM orchestrator that routes queries between several tools, including search, Foundry, and an open-source model to generate Solidity code. Building Syntax required custom datasets for both finetuning and RAG, an original Solidity evaluation dataset written by elite smart contract developers, and experimentation across a wide range of open and closed-source models. Spectral’s approach to dataset preparation, training, routing, and evaluation has drastically improved during this process, largely due to help from Hugging Face experts. Regular discussions on Spectral’s approach mean that the company always receives impartial feedback on its decisions and can reevaluate its strategy as needed. This was important for both the finetuning and evaluation steps, which have now gone through several rounds of improvement thanks to the Hugging Face team. Spectral also relies on Hugging Face for inferences in production through dedicated Inference Endpoints. The fully managed infrastructure allows Spectral to iterate on new models quickly, easily update container and hardware configurations, autoscale with demand, and keep production costs low. Over the coming months, Spectral is excited to continue to open-source its work with onchain datasets and models that interact onchain through Hugging Face. Users can view Spectral’s training dataset for the credit scoring challenge and follow its progress here. The Onchain Agent Economy Syntax is pioneering the accessible onchain Agent Economy, inviting users to select agents tailored for their specific tasks. Users can either interact with the foundational agent to generate solidity code or opt for one of the specialized agents, each adept in distinct tasks. For example, we recently launched Syntax MoonMaker, an agent that launches a memecoin project end to end, and are soon launching Syntax- TestMachine, an agent that detects vulnerabilities in your smart contracts. Many such agents are currently in production, and upcoming releases of our product will allow users to create their own agents and monetize them on the Syntax network. This system relies on a vast suite of functions available to language models, open-source models for tasks like classification and image generation, fast and reliable blockchain infrastructure, and a trustless system to execute and verify each step. To solve these problems, we’ve begun developing the Inferchain, optimized to serve the rapidly growing demand for agents and verifiable inferences. Hugging Face Users joining the Onchain AI community The importance of open collaboration cannot be overstated. Like many other projects, Spectral would not exist without the work of open-source contributors. Spectral is greatly indebted to everyone who makes this work possible and believes this positive impact should be recognized. As part of this engagement, Spectral is focusing specifically on users powering the AI community. The top individual and small organization contributors on Hugging Face, measured by likes and downloads of their models and datasets, are eligible to register to claim a share of SPEC tokens starting the week of May 6th. Users can check eligibility by signing in with their Hugging Face account here. A snapshot of activity was taken last month, and eligible users will not need an existing wallet to claim. This airdrop is designed to recognize users for their critical work and enable new functionality for the next generation of AI tools. Criteria Spectral reviewed all individual contributors from organizations with less than 10 members that published models or datasets. From these, Spectral took a combined measure of activity from likes and downloads for both models and datasets. Then, Spectral identified the users with the most combined activity from both model and dataset publishers (11298 in both categories) which resulted in a final list of 20,004 unique huggingface users. Spectral is looking forward to engaging further with the open-source community and building the future of AI x web3! https://claims.spectrallabs.xyz/ About Spectral Spectral, a pioneer of the agent economy behind Syntax, is at the forefront of integrating AI with blockchain to democratize development in Web3. Spectral’s mission is to simplify the creation and deployment of decentralized applications through autonomous Onchain Agents. Syntax, Spectral’s flagship product, translates natural language into Solidity code, enabling both novices and experts to build on the blockchain effortlessly. With a commitment to transparency and user empowerment, Spectral is shaping a future where anyone can participate in the blockchain revolution. Join Spectral in making this vision a reality and explore the potential of autonomous agents.

Surefire Resources developing new low-cost, eco-friendly mining technology

Surefire Resources NL

Surefire Resources NL (ASX:SRN) managing director Paul Burton joins Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to detail a groundbreaking process for extracting vanadium from magnetite deposits, highlighting a significant advancement in cost efficiency and environmental impact. The company is securing intellectual property for this innovative process through a provisional patent, allowing 18 months for optimisation before full assessment by patent authorities. Traditionally, vanadium extraction involves high-heat kilns operating at 1100 degrees centigrade continuously, which results in substantial power usage, high temperatures and significant emissions. This method incurs immense capital and operating costs, estimated around $100-150 million for kiln construction and maintenance alone. Surefire’s new method circumvents these issues by employing a leaching process with a combination of bleach jets and acids, directly treating the magnetite concentrate derived from mined ore. This approach has demonstrated a potential vanadium recovery rate of up to 97% after 24 hours, far surpassing traditional methods. Additionally, the process also recovers valuable titanium and iron, enhancing overall resource efficiency. The company is currently scaling up this process for commercial application, expecting further results in the coming months and considering a mini pilot plant if results remain positive. The financial implications of reducing capital and operating expenses are significant, potentially transforming the economic feasibility of the Victory Bore Mine deposit and offering a potentially lucrative opportunity for licensing the technology to other producers.

Raboo (RABT) Predicted to Skyrocket 100x as Ethereum (ETH) and BNB Whales Flock to Buy

Total Media

The crypto market is finally heating up again after Bitcoin stumbled out of the gates in May, taking the rest of the market—including BNB and Ethereum price—down with it. Ethereum and BNB appear to have turned the corner, hinting at a recovery around the bend. However, investors looking for the next 100x gains are investing in low-cap gems and presale opportunities like Raboo with MAJOR legroom to run in this crypto market cycle. With its presale token price of just $0.0042 and prospects of a legitimate shot at a 100x surge, Raboo is one of the top investment opportunities of the year. BNB continues to have a strong performance BNB has been one of the best performers so far in 2024, with the native token of the Binance Chain ecosystem coming within earshot of retesting its 2021 all-time highs of $686 earlier in Q1 2024. BNB’s current run is nothing short of spectacular after hitting its nadir in late 2023 when a series of setbacks and intensified regulatory pressure saw its prices plummet all the way to $205. Crypto market analysts believe BNB could be in line to once again retest its previous ATH this year—but investors looking for larger gains are looking elsewhere given BNB’s staggering $86.9 billion market cap. Ethereum price back to $3,000 after stumbling out of the blocks in May Ethereum plummeted to $2,800 to start off the month, no doubt bringing ETH holders who bought at higher levels in March and April to a state of apoplexy. That’s not to mention the fact that Ethereum has largely underwhelmed compared to Bitcoin, which has already minted a new all-time high. The Ethereum price action hasn’t come close to retesting its ATH of $4,878 set in 2021, indicating that the Layer-1 blockchain platform is losing serious market share to newer and better contenders. ETH bulls have their work cut out for them if Ethereum has any hope of minting a new ATH in the next crypto market bull cycle. Raboo: AI and SociaFi meme coin thrills presale participants Raboo is fast becoming one of the biggest presale investment opportunities of the crypto market in 2024, raising over $1 million and currently in stage 3 of its presale. Thus far, Raboo has already drawn over 5,200 presale registrants, indicating the massive traction that the AI SocialFi meme coin has generated. Raboo introduces a level of SocialFi utility and AI sophistication never before seen in meme coins by rewarding holders that leverage its meme generation platform to create and distribute memes across internet verticals. In doing so, the Raboo community grows its user base and pumps up demand and prices for its native RABT token. Conclusion Crypto market observers are forecasting anywhere between a 50x to a 100x gain for RABT in 2024 once it launches and lists on major exchanges, making Raboo’s current price of $0.0042 a steal. With its value proposition and low market cap, analysts predict Raboo will easily outperform BNB and Ethereum price actions within the next 12 months. You can participate in the Raboo presale here.

Telomir Pharmaceuticals sees breakthrough potential in Anti-Aging Treatment with Telomir 1

Telomir Pharmaceuticals Inc

Telomir Pharmaceuticals Co-Founder Frank O’Donnell joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share what the company believe is groundbreaking potential of their new drug designed to extend telomeres, which could reverse aging and age-related diseases. During a recent interview, O'Donnell elaborated on the drug’s potential, supported by extensive research in mice and successful trials in larger animals like a German shepherd. Drawing from his background in ophthalmology at Johns Hopkins, O'Donnell explained that the drug is developed to fight conditions such as macular degeneration by manipulating telomeres—protective caps on chromosomes that degrade over time. This innovative approach has shifted the company's focus from merely prolonging life to actively reversing signs of aging. O'Donnell also touched on the drug’s promising implications for veterinary medicine, particularly its potential benefits for older dogs suffering from osteoarthritis. Upcoming studies on dogs are planned to further prove the drug's effectiveness before moving to human clinical trials slated to begin in January 2025. Emphasizing the drug's transformative capabilities, O'Donnell spoke of its potential global impact by rejuvenating biological clocks and enhancing overall health. Currently, Telomir Pharmaceuticals is not seeking additional funding, opting instead to focus on advancing their research and commencing significant clinical trials.
