Published

on

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 15, 2020) – Skyledger Tech Corp. (CSE: SKYL) (the “Company” or “Skyledger“) announces that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI“) dated October 15, 2020 with 18526 Yukon Inc. (the “Vendor“), an arm’s length party, which sets out the general terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor (the “Target“) from the Vendor in exchange for the Consideration Shares and the Cash Payments, as further detailed below (the “Transaction“). The Target will own the Einarson (as to 70% with the balance owned by a third party), Rogue, Tosh, Cliff, Rainbow and Cynthia claims located in the Yukon (the “Properties“).

If completed, the Transaction will constitute a “fundamental change” of Skyledger pursuant to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE“). Upon completion of the Transaction, Skyledger intends to be listed on the CSE as a mining issuer and will principally focus on the exploration and development of the Properties. The resulting issuer that will exist upon completion of the Transaction (the “Resulting Issuer“) will continue to operate under the name Snowline Gold Corp.

The final structure of the Transaction will be determined by the parties following receipt of tax, corporate and securities law advice. The Transaction is an arm’s length transaction. Upon closing of the Transaction and the Concurrent Private Placement (defined below) (the “Closing“), it is expected that current shareholders of Skyledger will hold approximately 37% of the common shares of the Resulting Issuer, current shareholders of 18526 will hold approximately 32% of the common shares of the Resulting Issuer and new shareholders as a result of the private placement financings described below under “Financings” will hold approximately 31% of the common shares of the Resulting Issuer.

Further details of the proposed Transaction will follow in future news releases.

Terms of the Transaction

Pursuant to the LOI, the Company has agreed to acquire the Properties from the Vendor for total consideration of (a) 27,500,000 common shares of the Company (the “Consideration Shares“), (b) $1,000,000 in cash on Closing, (c) $250,000 in cash on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of Closing, and (d) $1,000,000 upon the Company announcing either a measured, indicated, inferred, or any combination thereof, mineral resource of at least 1,000,000 ounces of gold on a Property (the “Cash Payments“). The Vendor will retain a royalty equal to 2.0% of the net smelter returns in respect of each of the Properties.

Description of the Property

The Vendor currently owns the Einarson (as to 70% with the balance owned by a third party), Rogue, Tosh, Cliff, Rainbow and Cynthia claims located in the Yukon covering 66,528 Hectares (164,394 Acres). The Vendor is in the process of preparing current technical report on each of Einarson and Rogue, which are expected to be the mineral properties material to the Resulting Issuer. Further and more fulsome disclosure will be provided in subsequent news releases. The technical reports will be filed on the Company’s SEDAR profile once they have been finalized.

Financings

The parties have agreed that prior to completion of the Transaction, (a) within 60 days of the LOI, the Target will complete a non-brokered private placement of 8,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.15 per share for total proceeds of $1,200,000, and (b) within 45 days of the LOI, subject to the approval of the CSE, Skyledger will complete a non-brokered private placement of 2,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.15 per share for total proceeds of $300,000.

Concurrent with the completion of the Transaction, Skyledger expects to complete a private placement of units (the “Units“) of the Company for gross proceeds of $5,000,000 (the “Concurrent Private Placement“). Each Unit is expected to be issued at a price of $0.30 and consist of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant“). Each Warrant will be exercisable into one common share of Skyledger at a price of $0.50 for three years. The proceeds of the Concurrent Private Placement will be used for exploration and related expenditures respecting the Properties and working capital purposes. Closing of the Concurrent Private Placement is conditional upon completion of the Transaction. Further details regarding the Concurrent Private Placement will be included in a subsequent news release once additional details become available.

Conditions of Closing

Completion of the Transaction will be subject to certain conditions, including but not limited to: (a) the receipt of all necessary approvals of the boards of directors of Skyledger and the Vendor; (b) the receipt of approval of the shareholders of Skyledger in accordance with applicable laws, including the rules of the CSE; (c) the receipt of all required consents and approvals, including without limitation, approval of the Transaction by the CSE; (d) Skyledger satisfying the initial listing requirements set by the CSE for a mining issuer; (e) the completion by Skyledger of the Transaction Financing; and (f) the completion of satisfactory mutual due diligence.

The LOI may be terminated by either party if (a) they mutually agree; or (b) the definitive agreement with respect to the Transaction has not been executed on or before November 17, 2020 or such later date as may be agreed to by the parties.

Board of Directors and Management

Upon completion of the Transaction, it is expected that Scott Berdahl, a shareholder of 18526, will be appointed to the board of directors of the Company such that it will consist of four directors. The Company will consider such further changes as may make sense for the business of the Company going forward.

AuthID Inc. has formed a strategic partnership with the National Notarial Centralized Verification System (NNCVS) to integrate biometric identity verification into NNCVS’s online notary platform. NNCVS, a provider of nationwide online services for notaries, aims to transition from a local, in-person framework to a more secure, digital model. By leveraging AuthID’s platform, NNCVS will authenticate the identities of notarial agents and their clients using biometric checks that compare selfies with ID document photos. This enhancement ensures heightened security throughout users’ interactions with the service.

iVALT has introduced a mobile app called OnDemandID, designed to enable users to verify the identity of individuals during phone calls, video calls, or online interactions with a single click. The app employs multiple verification elements, including biometrics, device ID, and location-based parameters like geofencing and time windowing, to prevent deepfake attacks and identity fraud. OnDemandID prioritizes user privacy by storing biometric data locally on the device and refraining from tracking user movements. Additionally, iVALT offers integration into existing enterprise mobile apps, providing a solution to enhance caller verification processes within corporate environments.

Keyless, a company specializing in secure facial recognition, has partnered with EnQualify, an AI-powered Know Your Customer (KYC) verification provider, to enhance online identity verification. Keyless’s privacy-centric ZKB technology will integrate with EnQualify’s AI for initial user verification, enabling a seamless and secure authentication process. This collaboration eliminates the need for repetitive steps and data storage, offering a faster and more user-friendly verification experience while ensuring robust security measures.

Australian fintech Waave has launched its Wallet app to enhance security and convenience for online payments. Integrated with Waave’s Pay by Bank system, Wallet utilizes fingerprint or facial recognition for secure authentication, eliminating the need for passwords and card details. This approach addresses concerns about online fraud, providing a streamlined payment process for consumers and merchants alike. Additionally, Wallet will introduce expense tracking features later in 2024, further enhancing its utility for users.

BeatBit Wellness Lab has introduced the CUDIS ring, a wearable device focused on user-controlled health data management. Powered by Solana blockchain technology, CUDIS tracks biometric data and offers personalized health insights using AI algorithms. Users can contribute anonymized data to a research network and earn rewards, emphasizing data ownership and privacy. The CUDIS ring integrates securely with other Solana and Web3 products, offering users a comprehensive health monitoring solution within the decentralized ecosystem.

Worldcoin has unveiled World Chain, a new blockchain platform designed to prioritize verified human users over bots, aiming to reduce network congestion and transaction fees. Integrated with the Worldcoin protocol’s Proof of Personhood, World Chain provides verified users with priority blockspace and gas allowances. This Layer 2 solution, secured by Ethereum, offers developers access to a large pool of verified users for deploying utility applications. World Chain is set to be open source and permissionless, with plans for community-based governance in the future.

New South Wales (NSW) has launched an Australia-first trial to test digital birth certificates, involving over 18,000 children associated with specific educational institutions. Led by the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages in collaboration with the Department of Customer Service, the pilot explores the use of digital certificates with the same legal validity as traditional paper versions. Digital birth certificates aim to simplify administrative tasks and offer enhanced security and convenience, particularly in disaster-prone areas where paper documents could be compromised.

Tether USDT stablecoin goes live on TON blockchain

Published

on

tether-usdt-stablecoin-goes-live-on-ton-blockchain

Tether and Telegram’s Web3 ecosystem are aligning further with the launch of USDT and XAUT stablecoins on the TON blockchain.

Tether, the stablecoin operator, is deepening its integration with Telegram’s Web3 ecosystem by introducing its stablecoins, including Tether USDT and Tether Gold (XAUT), on The Open Network (TON).

The announcement was made on April 19 during the Token2049 event in Dubai, where Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino and Telegram founder Pavel Durov delivered keynote speeches.

Alongside the stablecoin launch, Tether also revealed a restructuring plan, introducing four new business divisions: Tether Data, Tether Finance, Tether Power, and Tether Edu. Ardoino emphasized the shared vision of TON and Tether for an open, decentralized internet and a borderless financial system.

The addition of USDT and XAUT on TON is a significant step for Tether, expanding its presence to 15 blockchains, including Ethereum and Tron. This move also holds importance for the TON network, which recently surpassed Dogecoin as the ninth-largest blockchain and cryptocurrency by market value.

According to Ardoino, USDT and XAUT on TON will facilitate seamless value transfer, boosting activity and liquidity while providing users with a financial experience comparable to traditional systems.

The integration of USDT into the TON ecosystem enables transfers between fiat and crypto, aiming to surpass traditional finance in efficiency and user-friendliness. Jack Booth, TON Foundation’s marketing head, highlighted the TON blockchain’s capability to provide simple, borderless peer-to-peer payments, catering to Telegram’s estimated global user base of over 900 million.

While USDT has been available on Wallet, a third-party custodial wallet for Telegram users, since at least 2023, its integration with TON marks a significant milestone. Halil Mirakhmed, Wallet’s chief operating officer in Telegram, confirmed that TON-based USDT will be offered alongside TRC-20 USDT on Wallet.

The move comes on the heels of Tether’s recent launch of a recovery tool for migrating USDT between different blockchains in March 2024. With USDT stablecoin crossing the $100 billion market cap milestone earlier in March, its expansion onto the TON blockchain signifies another step forward in the cryptocurrency’s ecosystem growth.

Crypto fans count down to bitcoin’s ‘halving’

Published

crypto-fans-count-down-to-bitcoin’s-‘halving’

Bitcoin enthusiasts eagerly anticipated the occurrence of bitcoin’s ‘halving’ on Friday, a pivotal event in the cryptocurrency’s protocol aimed at reducing the rate of new bitcoin creation. Programmed into Bitcoin’s code by its pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto at its inception, the halving occurs approximately every four years.

Chris Gannatti, Global Head of Research at asset manager WisdomTree, which offers bitcoin exchange-traded funds, described the halving as “one of the biggest events in crypto this year.” CoinGecko’s countdown clock indicated that the halving was slated to take place in the early hours of Saturday GMT.

For many cryptocurrency enthusiasts, the halving underscores bitcoin’s value as an increasingly scarce asset, as Nakamoto set a limit of 21 million tokens. Conversely, skeptics view it merely as a technical adjustment hyped by speculators to inflate the virtual currency’s price.

The mechanics of the halving involve reducing the rewards miners receive for creating new tokens, thereby increasing the cost of introducing new bitcoins into circulation. This comes following bitcoin’s surge to an all-time high of $73,803.25 in March, with the cryptocurrency trading at $63,800 on Thursday.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have benefited from excitement surrounding the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds in January, as well as anticipation of central bank interest rate cuts. Previous halvings occurred in 2012, 2016, and 2020, with some cryptocurrency enthusiasts pointing to subsequent price rallies as indicative of potential price increases post-halving. However, many analysts remain skeptical.

“We do not anticipate bitcoin price increases post halving as it has already been priced in,” wrote JP Morgan analysts this week. They predict a decline in bitcoin’s price post-halving due to being “overbought,” coupled with subdued venture capital funding for the crypto industry this year.
