    Aleph Zero will work alongside the world’s largest telecommunications organizations to help to develop standardized blockchain APIs for the industry

    Aleph Zero, a blockchain ecosystem engineered for speed, data confidentiality, and ease of development, has officially joined the CAMARA Foundation as a General Member. This strategic move marks a significant step towards integrating advanced blockchain technology with global telecommunications standards, particularly in the realm of Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs).

    As a General Member, Aleph Zero will work closely with global telecom and tech leaders within CAMARA to develop and contribute to blockchain-specific initiatives. A key focus of this collaboration will be the Blockchain Public Address API, which has the potential to revolutionize how users interact with blockchain technologies through their mobile devices.

    The CAMARA Project, launched in 2021 under the Linux Foundation and GSMA, aims to create standardized APIs for telecommunications networks. This initiative is designed to simplify network complexities and provide seamless access to network capabilities across different operators and countries. A cornerstone of this effort is the Blockchain Public Address API, which was initiated in June 2023 and is currently in version 0.1.0. The CAMARA Project now includes over 230 companies – including Deutsche Telekom, stc, Vodafone and Telefónica – and 650 individual participants.

    This API allows for the management of blockchain addresses associated with phone numbers, offering features such as retrieval of blockchain public addresses linked to phone numbers, and the binding and unbinding of these addresses. By utilizing blockchain public addresses as Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), the API enables telecom service providers to offer third parties the capability to pair phone numbers with blockchain addresses, thereby simplifying transactions for end-users.

    Aleph Zero’s expertise in zero-knowledge proofs and privacy-preserving technologies will contribute significantly to the further development and refinement of the group’s blockchain-related solutions.

    Antoni Zolciak, co-founder at Aleph Zero, said: “The integration of blockchain technology into mainstream infrastructure is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. Forward-thinking organizations across various sectors are recognizing the transformative potential of distributed ledger technologies. We’re looking forward to collaborating with various members of the Foundation and contributing to the telecommunications APIs from a blockchain standpoint.”

    Aleph Zero, known for its cutting-edge blockchain ecosystem, offers secure, scalable, and privacy-focused solutions for Web3 applications. With its zkOS and EVM Layer 2 network, Aleph Zero continues to push the boundaries of blockchain technology, focusing on privacy, scalability, and interoperability. Aleph Zero recently launched its EVM-layer, an exceptionally fast and efficient blockchain, boasting a block time of up to 250 milliseconds with near-instant transaction finality.

    Strengthening Crypto Security: Bybit’s AI Risk Engine Fortifies Hot and Cold Wallets, Screening $1 Billion in Withdrawals in First Half of 2024

    2024-09-20T12:29:38Z

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Sept. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is stepping up its security efforts, using cutting-edge AI technology to fend off hackers and bad actors. In the first half of 2024, Bybit protected users by executing 32 million withdrawals and prevented the loss of over $79 million in client assets by vetting close to $1 billion in suspicious withdrawal attempts. More than $37 million in project funds were also safeguarded.

    As part of its tiered approach to fund safety, Bybit’s focus on protecting hot wallets and cold wallets plays a critical role in preventing hacking and fraud. Bybit has strengthened its verification processes, applying extra scrutiny to large transactions and high-risk withdrawals. While most fraudulent attempts were prevented in the early stage, the exchange detected abnormal withdrawal requests involving over $940 million in cryptocurrency during the first six months of 2024, with over 8.4% confirmed as attempted fraudulent withdrawals.

    Fraud Prevention in an Evolving Threat Landscape

    As crypto adoption scales, fraudsters and hackers increasingly target individual users and institutional vulnerabilities. Bybit, as one of the leading crypto exchanges, stands as a critical line of defense against these threats, employing sophisticated AI-driven security protocols to foil illicit schemes. The rise of AI has emerged as an area of concern for security and risk experts, prompting service providers to reconfigure their security posture.

    Covering Every Vulnerability with AI-Driven Protection

    Bybit’s deployment of AI technology serves as a robust shield against evolving risks. From securing user wallet systems to detecting complex, AI-enabled fraud attempts, Bybit's enterprise-level AI fortifies each layer of its defenses.

    All Bybit users can opt into multi-channel verifications and biometric authentication to ensure that their identities are securely verified. For instance, Bybit's risk engine recently thwarted an attempt involving face-swapping technology aimed at bypassing facial verification in its Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Thanks to its live face detection and virtual camera detection, Bybit's system swiftly blocked the attempt by the hacker.

    With a proprietary risk control engine and user behavioral analytics models, Bybit streamlined fraud detection with a combination of both automated and human scrutiny. The wealth of data and algorithmic processes help the system and a team of over 50 risk and security experts detect irregular behavioral patterns and sound the alarm for suspicious activities. The approach significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, instructions and withdrawals.

    A “Safety-first” Approach to Trading

    “One of the main reasons users choose to use centralized exchanges is the high level of support and protection they offer. Bybit invests heavily in software, hardware and talent to ensure that our 40 million customers can trade with confidence, knowing that their assets are protected by the most secure blockchain security measures,” said Helen Liu, Chief Operating Officer of Bybit.

    “We are pleased to have kept the fraudulent rate in withdrawals below 10% in the first half of 2024, and we are committed to strengthening our first lines of defenses to ensure that every aspect of the Bybit experience is safe and secure,” continued Liu.

    Raising the Bar for Industry Security

    Bybit has recently announced a comprehensive upgrade of its security measures. Verified by blockchain auditor CertiK, Bybit’s state-of-the-art safety model helped it secure a 10/10 trust score on CoinGecko. By leveraging multi-faceted security frameworks and heavily guarded vaults, Bybit ensures its users’ assets are stored in infrastructures designed to withstand even the most vigorous hacking attacks.

    With its commitment to building lasting trust in the Web3 ecosystem, Bybit aspires to deliver the highest standards in security to set new security standards for the industry.
