    Sui joins an exclusive list of AWS-integrated blockchains

    Sui Foundation, the organization dedicated to the advancement and adoption of the layer 1 blockchain of the same name, today announced the integration of Amazon Web Service’s (AWS) Blockchain Node Runners on Sui, providing developers with a self-managed node deployment solution.

    Through this integration, builders on Sui will be able to easily set up and deploy Sui full nodes within the AWS environment, benefitting from the high availability, scalability, and reliability of AWS’s robust cloud infrastructure. AWS Blockchain Node Runners simplifies the process of running blockchain nodes, allowing users to easily deploy, scale, manage, and monitor secure blockchain nodes. As of today, Navi, a leading liquidity protocol, will be engaged as a Node Runner user to deploy full nodes on Sui.

    Kathryn Van Nuys, Global Head of Startups in Specialized Segments at AWS, said, “AWS Blockchain Node Runners was designed to support builders at all stages of the application lifecycle, offering blueprints to meet specific requirements, from enhanced security and compliance to ease of deployment and monitoring. We are excited to bring these and other features to empower developers to deploy and manage Sui nodes on the AWS cloud.”

    Node Runners offers several key technical advantages for deploying blockchain nodes. It provides validated, best-practice deployment templates for scalable node operations across multiple geographies. High availability is ensured through multi-node deployment options across different availability zones. The deployment code is fully open-source and available on GitHub, allowing users to review it before deployment. Integrated with the AWS Well-Architected Framework, Node Runners helps organizations build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient node infrastructures. Full nodes on Sui validate on-chain activities such as transactions, checkpoints, and epoch changes, as well as store the stake and history to better service client queries. By offloading query servicing from validator nodes, validators are able to focus on transaction processing and updates to the nodes when new transactions are completed.

    Navi, a leading liquidity on Sui, is one of the first users to engage with Node Runners on Sui, and have deployed their first node via AWS’s service as of today.

    As part of AWS and Sui Foundation’s commitment to empowering Sui builders, developers and startups who utilize AWS Blockchain Node Runners or are building on Sui may be eligible for up to $5,000 in Activate credits. Sui Foundation has also joined the AWS Web3 Provider program, which offers access to tools, resources, content, and credits to Sui developers

    Henrik Johansson, Global Head of Community at Sui Foundation, said, “The integration of AWS Node Runners on Sui marks a pivotal advancement to enhancing blockchain infrastructure. Sui nodes are fundamental to the operation and accessibility of Sui. This integration with AWS not only provides developers with more tools to simplify node deployment but also financial support to utilize and develop on AWS.”

    Bybit Bolsters Compliance with Appointment of New Chief Legal & Compliance Officer

    2024-09-30T13:18:52Z

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Sept. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert MacDonald as the new Chief Legal & Compliance Officer. With a distinguished career spanning both the public sector and traditional finance, Robert brings a wealth of expertise in regulatory compliance and combating financial crime, reinforcing Bybit’s commitment to legal integrity, principled compliance, and robust governance.

    Robert’s leadership will be instrumental in paving a sustainable and responsible path for Bybit’s continued growth. He began his career practicing criminal law as a barrister in London, specializing in the field of financial crime, before serving the U.K. Ministry of Justice. Over the next decade, Robert embarked on a cross-continental journey mostly in traditional finance and banking, working for global institutions including one of the world’s largest asset managers, South Korea’s most popular eCommerce company, and crypto exchange Binance. 

    In his new role, Robert will oversee a joint legal and compliance team in navigating the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. The team is comprised of a dedicated taskforce of legal counsels who cover a wide array of global legal issues and topical research, as well as a versatile compliance function including: a regulatory compliance function looking after licensing and registrations matters across jurisdictions and adherence to local requirements; a global compliance team of Money Laundering Reporting Officers; and specialists in compliance operations focusing on a safe and responsible client onboarding process including rigorous compliance controls throughout the user lifecycle.

    “Bybit’s vision is to build a company that stands the test of time—lasting a hundred years or more,” said Helen Liu, Chief Operating Officer at Bybit. “A strong foundation begins with a culture of compliance and a dedication to doing things the right way. We’re thrilled to have Robert on board, as his decade of experience and keen insight into evolving regulatory trends will be invaluable to our continued growth and long-term success,” she added.

    Robert said he sees inconsistencies in regulatory frameworks across jurisdictions as the key challenge to the industry. “There is a lack of uniformity in how cryptocurrencies are classified and regulated, which creates uncertainty for businesses and investors. Additionally, many governments are grappling with issues related to consumer protection, money laundering, and taxation,” said Robert MacDonald, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer at Bybit.“ The focus on stabilizing and regulating stablecoins and ensuring compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) regulations are also pressing challenges. These issues give legitimate crypto exchanges with the technical know-how and right culture an opportunity to change the digital asset industry for the better. For regulators, the evolving nature of the technology and the fast-paced growth of the crypto market is a pain point, and many acknowledge a growing demand for more comprehensive regulations and clearer guidelines,” he continued.

    Undeterred by the challenges, Robert said Bybit’s invitation presented him an opportunity to make a difference in the industry. “I am thrilled to join Bybit at this exciting time, this role brings together my legal, compliance and previous crypto experiences. Bybit is on an incredible growth trajectory, and doing this in a sustainable manner by ensuring we build a world-class legal and compliance function with adherence to local regulations is key.”
