    Forgd, a token advisory and optimization platform, announced the launch of its free-to-use web platform, which provides blockchain projects unrestricted access to tools for tokenomics design, liquidity monitoring, cap table management, and financial planning. Forgd eliminates financial barriers associated with traditional Web3 Advisory and consolidates an otherwise fragmented services industry built to support blockchain projects as they issue a token.

    A token launch involves complex challenges, prompting many blockchain projects to hire multiple external advisors for tasks like tokenomics modeling, market maker engagement, and exchange listing. These engagements can be costly and often lead to operational inefficiencies, given that few advisors operate an end-to-end process. Forgd addresses these challenges with free software tools for executing all vital go-to-market activities and optimizing token performance post-launch. This “self-service” approach to Web3 advisory allows teams to execute at their own pace.

    “Many of the tasks involved in a token launch are outside the expertise of a typical tech founder, which is why we created a set of tools to streamline and simplify the process in an end-to-end application,” said Shane Molidor, CEO and Founder of Forgd. “Forgd was built in response to the recurring needs of founders we’ve observed in Web3. Our DIY software tools not only reduce costs but also allow teams to concentrate on product innovation rather than specialized capital market activities.”

    Shane Molidor is a 10-year cryptocurrency veteran who formerly operated as CEO of AscendEX, Head of Trading at FBG Capital, and Business Development Associate at Gemini. Forgd recently enhanced its capabilities by acquiring Tokenomics DAO, a research institution focused on tokenomics and novel protocol design. 

    For blockchain projects that haven’t yet launched their token, Forgd helps them design tokenomics, conduct cash flow analysis & prepare for fundraising, secure partnerships with market makers & exchanges, and navigate administrative tasks such as offshore company formation. For projects with a live token, Forgd provides tools for monitoring market maker performance & token unlocks, automated token streaming, and even non-custodial liquidity provision.

    In a strategic move, Forgd has aligned with the Solana Foundation to provide select tools exclusively for projects built on the Solana blockchain. This collaboration underscores the Forgd commitment to supporting scalable blockchain ecosystems and fostering project growth.

    “We are thrilled to collaborate with the Solana Foundation to offer our tools to Solana’s vibrant developer ecosystem,” said Florian Strauf, CTO of Forgd and Founder of Tokenomics DAO. “This strategic alignment highlights our dedication to creating public goods to support blockchain entrepreneurs, and we look forward to partnering with other blockchain base layers to create comprehensive cross-chain support.”

    Forgd reports that over 250 projects have already benefited from using its pioneering tools, such as “AMM²”, a non-custodial market making protocol that empowers projects to act as their liquidity provider across all major exchanges with automated rebalancing.

    “The positive response since our private beta launch in Q1’24 has been overwhelming,” commented Shane Molidor. “Our team is motivated to continue innovating and developing new tools to empower Web3 entrepreneurs aiming to launch and scale projects of their own.”

    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.
