    The Next-Gen Enterprise and Opportunity Navigator (NEON) program will support global enterprises on their journey into web3, fostering innovation and widespread adoption of blockchain technology.

    The Aleph Zero Foundation, a pioneer in privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure, announces the launch of its NEON Program, a comprehensive initiative designed to support enterprises from various sectors in harnessing the power of blockchain technology. The program will deliver dedicated resources, expert guidance, and ease of access to innovative technology to facilitate deeper integration of privacy-enhancing blockchain technology across various business use-cases.

    The NEON Program goes beyond traditional enterprise support by offering a comprehensive suite of resources tailored to each member’s unique needs and ambitions in the web3 space. At its core, the program provides a team of dedicated business and technical experts who work closely with members to navigate the complexities of web3 integration. 

    The program caters to a wide range of companies, from those taking their first steps into web3 to seasoned players. This hands-on approach is complemented by a wealth of educational resources, in-depth workshops, and tailored support designed to keep members at the forefront of market and tech developments. By fostering connections with industry experts and exploring potential new revenue streams through ecosystem participation, the NEON Program empowers enterprises to not just adapt to the evolving digital landscape, but to actively shape it.

    “Blockchain technology is rapidly expanding into diverse industries, powering an ever-growing array of use cases,” said Antoni Zolciak, Co-founder of Aleph Zero. “As this landscape evolves, businesses need expert guidance to navigate and harness this technology effectively. We’re incredibly proud to launch the NEON Program, offering tailored support that empowers enterprises at all stages of blockchain adoption. Our goal is to foster innovation, drive adoption, and help businesses unlock the full potential of web3 in their operations.”

    Strategic Partnerships Across Industries

    Aleph Zero has already secured partnerships with global leaders in the telecommunications sector, including Deutsche Telekom and stc Bahrain, demonstrating the blockchain’s capability to meet the rigorous demands of large-scale operations. The program is expanding to include companies and organizations from various industries:

    • Pairpoint (A Vodafone and Sumitomo Company): Born from two leading multinationals, Vodafone and Sumitomo, Pairpoint enables devices to act as autonomous ‘economic agents’, allowing them to transact directly between them to create better user experiences. For example, electric cars can pay for their energy, delivery trucks can sell spare capacity, or smart meters can sell their solar production to their neighbors.
    • CAMARA Foundation (Linux Foundation): Launched in 2021 under the Linux Foundation and GSMA, the CAMARA Project aims to standardize APIs for telecommunications networks. Aleph Zero joined as the first blockchain General Member to develop and contribute to blockchain-specific initiatives. A key focus of this collaboration is the Blockchain Public Address API, which could revolutionize how users interact with blockchain technologies on mobile devices.

    “At Pairpoint, we’re exploring privacy-focused technologies in the evolving ‘Economy of Things,’ where devices are becoming smarter and more autonomous,” said Siva Balasuriyar, CFO and Web3 Lead at Pairpoint. “Joining the NEON program provides Pairpoint with the resources and partnerships we need to strengthen our own knowledge, whilst collaborating with Aleph Zero and others in navigating this groundbreaking landscape. Supported by this partnership, Pairpoint will deploy and operate validator nodes to enhance the resilience and security of the blockchain infrastructure.”

    Luxury Streetwear Brand Ryoko Rain® is an Official Collaboration Partner for Athlos NYC Track Event

    2024-09-20T13:15:00Z

    Olympian Alaysha Johnson will debut the company’s signature-designed shorts, shirt, and jacket before the premier all-women’s track event, featuring the fastest women in the world and awarding the largest prize purse ever for a women’s only track event

    NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ryoko Rain, the luxury sportswear brand synonymous with butterfly designs and distinct patterned mesh shorts, has partnered with Athlos NYC to launch an exclusive apparel collaboration collection for the upcoming all-women’s track meet taking place at Icahn Stadium in New York on September 26, 2024 at 7pm ET. The collaboration features a custom line of high-quality mesh shorts, a shirt, and a jacket designed by Founder and Creative Director Garrett James. Debuting the apparel line is Olympian track star and Athlos NYC competitor Alaysha Johnson.

    The collaboration between ATHLOS and Ryoko Rain celebrates the synergy of athletic performance and personal expression with Ryoko Rain’s deep-rooted cultural and design narrative and Athlos’ commitment to providing a platform for women athletes to shine on and off the track. The collection features three items: high-quality mesh shorts in Athlos NYC brand colors, a timestamp, a soundwave design, and Ryoko Rain’s logo mark with a butterfly; a limited edition Ryoko Rain cutoff shirt featuring Alaysha Johnson in full sprint surrounded by butterflies; and, lastly, a black work jacket—a Ryoko Rain signature item. Fans can purchase the limited edition shorts onsite at Athlos NYC, while the shirt and jacket will be available for a limited time on Ryoko Rain’s website.

    “This collaboration is a testament to how style and athleticism intersect, with gear designed for movement and a visual story inspired by the female athletes and Ryoko Rain’s origins,” said Kayla Green, CMO of ATHLOS. “We look forward to showcasing the speed, music and design of Athlos NYC with like-minded brands, like Ryoko Rain, to provide new opportunities for the women’s running community.”

    Alaysha Johnson and Ryoko Rain: A Perfect Match
    Johnson, an Olympic hurdler known for her incredible discipline and dedication, is the face of the new Ryoko Rain and ATHLOS apparel line. Her drive and passion align with James’ vision of luxury street and athleticwear. In the 100-meter hurdles, Johnson earned a spot in the Paris Olympic Games after running a personal-best time in shoes borrowed from a fellow hurdler and in a uniform she designed herself at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials.

    “I’m excited to team up with Ryoko Rain for this special line,” said Johnson. “The designs are not only stylish but also carry a deeper meaning. It feels empowering to wear something that reflects a sense of purpose, community, and the pursuit of excellence—values I live by in my sport.”

    Metamorphosis: The Ryoko Rain Story
    Ryoko Rain was founded by Garrett James in 2021, whose vision is shaped by the legacy of his Japanese heritage and the family values passed down from previous generations. This cultural influence is central to Ryoko Rain’s aesthetic and purpose, as each garment is designed to tell a story of transformation, resilience, and community. The brand’s signature butterfly symbol—representing growth, change, and new beginnings—embodies the essence of James’ family legacy, particularly inspired by the experiences of his two eldest daughters, River Ryoko and Alba Rain.

    James explains, “Ryoko Rain is about more than just clothes; it’s about expressing our roots and honoring the journey. Partnering with ATHLOS, we’re blending fashion, sports and music to represent something much deeper—our shared experiences, ambitions, where we all come from and where we are going.”
