Kampela Secures Polkadot Network Investment, Becomes First Fully DAO-Funded Hardware Wallet

Kuopio, Finland, September 12th, 2024, Chainwire

Kampela, an innovative hardware startup, has successfully secured funding through a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) on the Polkadot network, marking a significant milestone as the first hardware project to be fully backed by a DAO in the Polkadot ecosystem. This achievement demonstrates the power of decentralized governance in supporting tangible technological innovations and opens new possibilities for hardware development in the blockchain space.

Kampela’s device leverages NFC technology and operates without the need for wired charging or a battery, showcasing a novel approach to secure, user-centric hardware wallets. The company’s innovative strategy consolidates both the design and production processes within a single integrated platform, enabling the delivery of highly differentiated solutions to the market.

Key Highlights:

– Funding secured through Polkadot Referenda #62, #370, and #886, totalling approximately 253,000 DOTs (around $1 million USD at current DOT price)

– Transparent, community-driven decision-making process

– Establishes a new model for supporting hardware innovation in the blockchain industry

– Battery-free operation powered exclusively by NFC during active use

– Secure NFC-only connectivity, eliminating vulnerable USB interfaces

Kirill, ex-CISO of Parity and Kampela’s Co-Founder, stated, “Not only is Kampela one of the very few fully open hardware wallets on the markets (you can get everything, up to the precise machining instructions for the casing, from our GitHub), but the project is also a brilliant example of the power of DAOs in the new, blockchain-enabled economy: the project was funded via the Polkadot Treasury (one of the biggest DAOs in the world right now), and it is thanks to this funding that our designs are so uncompromisingly open, free, and democratic.”

The successful funding of Kampela through a DAO on the Polkadot network showcases how community-driven funding can fuel advancements in secure, user-centric devices. This achievement is expected to attract attention from blockchain enthusiasts, hardware innovators, investors interested in decentralized funding models, and Polkadot community members and stakeholders.

Kampela’s hardware design features several enhanced security measures, including battery-free operation and secure NFC-only connectivity. The device remains completely powered down when not in use, deterring physical access or tampering, and its NFC-only communication provides an additional security layer compared to traditional USB interfaces.

With six hardware revisions conducted and 54 components in its design, Kampela represents a significant leap forward in blockchain hardware innovation. As the first fully DAO-funded hardware project in the Polkadot ecosystem, Kampela sets a new precedent for how hardware startups can leverage decentralized funding and governance to bring cutting-edge products to market.

Accredited Solutions Reaches Agreement With 100% of Promissory Note Holders for 60-Day Lock-Up and 6-Month Leak-Out on All Conversions

2024-09-18T12:00:00Z

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Accredited Solutions, Inc. (OTC: ASII) ("Accredited Solutions" or the "Company"), the parent company of Diamond Creek Water, is pleased to announce it has successfully reached an agreement with the holders of 100% of the Company’s outstanding variable price conversion securities for a 60-day lock-up and 6-month leak-out on all conversions, as an interim agreement toward full cash redemption.

This interim agreement marks a significant milestone in the Company’s path toward a complete redemption of all outstanding variable price convertible instruments, thus avoiding the issuance of significant additional shares. As part of the redemption plan, Accredited Solutions intends to use proceeds from its upcoming Reg A offering to redeem the variable price convertible securities, thereby avoiding any need for conversion into the Company’s common stock. This strategy is designed to achieve a much lower cost of capital and dramatically limit shareholder dilution.

"We are incredibly humbled by the renewed trust from our financing partners, who are now demonstrating their confidence in our long-term vision," said Eduardo Brito, CEO of Accredited Solutions, Inc. "This agreement is a testament to our strong relationships and commitment to creating shareholder value. The trust placed in us by our financing partners positions them for our exciting future, and we are excited about the path ahead as we work toward our 5-year growth strategy.” This favorable approach not only provides the Company with a cost-effective solution to manage its capital structure but also is expected to provide the platform for necessary capital for future acquisitions and organic growth. Accredited Solutions remains focused on its ambitious 5-year growth plan, which aims to achieve $750 million in annual revenue through both strategic acquisitions and organic expansion across its telco/fintech and beverage divisions.

“We’re excited to move forward with this flexible and highly supportive, balance-sheet-friendly plan,” Brito added. “These agreements set the stage for us to continue our acquisition strategy while strengthening our financial foundation. With the ongoing confidence of our stakeholders, we are firmly shaping our strategy on our way to achieving our $750 million revenue target over the next five years.”

Please be attentive to the 8-K filing relating to these agreements and stay tuned for exciting updates on our progress.
