Xandeum to Unveil Solana Scaling Solution, XAND Token Launch and Liquid Staking at Breakpoint 2024

LAS VEGAS, United States, September 19th, 2024, Chainwire

 

Blockchain storage layer Xandeum has announced that it will reveal its blueprint for scaling Solana storage at Breakpoint 2024 on September 20, 2024. At the flagship Solana conference in Singapore, Xandeum will also share details of its new storage-enabled liquid staking program and officially announce the launch of the XAND token.

Designed to overcome the limitations of Solana’s current storage model, Xandeum’s technology will allow dapps to scale by accessing virtually unlimited storage. Solana can be looked at as a “world computer”, and Solana accounts are its “RAM”. At Breakpoint 2024, Xandeum will share its vision for adding the “hard drive” via their scalable storage layer, the missing piece to a full-fledged world computer. This innovation enables a Cambrian Explosion of storage-enabled dapps.

The smart contract native storage layer introduces “Xandeum buckets,” an exabytes+ scalable file system integrated directly into Solana RPC nodes. Storage will be offloaded to a decentralized network of hundreds of thousands of storage provider nodes (pNodes), supervised by Xandeum-enabled Solana validators. pNodes, validators, and liquid stakers will earn additional rewards in SOL, thanks to highly dynamic fee markets designed to optimize storage efficiency and profitability.

“A low-cost, decentralized storage solution will drastically expand the application landscape.” says Tommy Johnson, early Solana builder, co-founder, and lead engineer at Armada. “It can unlock a new revenue stream for SOL validators and stakers. The Xandeum solution will have an enormous impact on the growth of the Solana ecosystem.”

More details of Xandeum’s Solana scaling solution will be shared at Breakpoint 2024. In addition, Xandeum will use the event to announce its storage-enabled liquid staking platform. Scheduled to go live on October 29, the platform will capture future Xandeum storage fees for xandSOL stakers. Early adopters who stake with Xandeum will be eligible for boosted rewards of up to 10x with more details at https://xandeum.network

As an event sponsor, the Xandeum team will have its own booth at Solana Breakpoint 2024 in Singapore, with community members able to learn more about key initiatives including the liquid staking pool, XAND token, and forthcoming airdrops. The first airdrop snapshot will take place on October 8, with the XAND token launch scheduled for October 29.

Xandeum’s development of new storage primitives to enhance Solana’s programming model will solve the issues with the current storage system, known as “accounts,” which has proven insufficient to hold even a few gigabytes per dapp. These limitations threaten to stifle the growth of web3 applications on Solana.

Xandeum lead developer Xandeum Labs has raised $2.8M to build out its scaling solution and has seen significant interest from Solana’s builder community, with over 4B transactions completed on its community-run devnet. Xandeum will support a new wave of scalable web3 dapps while maintaining Solana’s security and decentralization.

About Xandeum Labs

Xandeum Labs is a web3 startup dedicated to building the scalable storage layer for Solana. As a major contributor to the world’s first storage-enabled liquid staking platform, operated by the XAND DAO, Xandeum has already raised $2.8 million from its community and is on track to launch its pNode network in early 2025.

NEW YORK and DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Sept. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biz2X®, a global fintech headquartered in New York City whose small business finance platform is used across countries like the U.S., India and Australia with over $10 billion USD funded to date, today announced that the technology platform is powering a new SME financing program from food & beverage platform company, Watermelon Ecosystem.

This strategic partnership will pair Biz2X’s leading small business financing platform with Watermelon's digital ecosystem of restaurateurs and other F&B entrepreneurs, a growing sector in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Through the Biz2X® digital platform, food businesses that are part of the Watermelon ecosystem will have access to business financing to fuel their growth. Biz2X will generate funding offers for businesses that use the Watermelon platform.

Businesses that use the platform to purchase ingredients and inventory for their restaurants or other food business will be prequalified for access to capital to simplify their purchases, increasing average order value and making transactions more efficient. Merchants that are selling inventory and other goods or services through the Watermelon Ecosystem will be able to finance their outstanding invoices, ensuring they can reinvest faster in their business growth.

Platform financing offers are based on Biz2X’s leading underwriting technology using proprietary data about merchant transaction history derived from purchasing behavior by Watermelon’s clients.

“This deal pairs Biz2X’s leading financing technology platform with Watermelon's digital ecosystem of restaurateurs and other F&B entrepreneurs,” said Omar AlShamsi, founder of Watermelon Ecosystem. “Together, we will support digital access to financing for SMEs to power economic transformation and food security in the region while we support the ambitions of business owners.”

  • Data-Driven Finance Offers: The Biz2X® platform uses a merchant’s history of processing transactions with Watermelon to prequalify them for financing, minimizing document requests and expediting approvals.
  • Seamless Invoice Financing Process: Merchants that want to finance outstanding invoices will enjoy a fast and seamless loan onboarding process, facilitated by the integration of Biz2X’s lending solutions within Watermelon’s platform.
  • Multi-Lender Finance Ecosystem: Merchants will be matched with top offers from multiple lenders, including various banks and alternative finance providers.
  • End-to-End Loan Lifecycle Management: Lenders gain access to continuous digital monitoring of their active loan portfolios, enhancing regulatory compliance and minimizing risk exposure.

MENA lenders that partner with Biz2X can now offer financing thanks to this embedded finance partnership.

With access to Biz2X’s comprehensive data ecosystem, they can quickly obtain detailed financial transaction data for each applying merchant, expediting precise credit decisions. This is the latest in a series of Biz2X embedded finance partnerships in the Middle East, highlighting the platform’s wide impact globally.
