Veno Finance Launches First ETH Native Liquid Staking Protocol on zkSync

Cronos

Veno Finance, Cronos’ leading liquid staking protocol, announced its launch on the zkSync Era Layer-2 blockchain scaling solution. With its launch, users on zkSync Era can now stake their ETH tokens directly and receive Liquid ETH (LETH) tokens that open the door to new possibilities for yield farming in its decentralized finance ecosystem. The Veno protocol enables zkSync users to support the Ethereum network in a simplified way. It works by bridging ETH tokens between the zkSync Era and Ethereum mainnet, automating the process of staking and withdrawing ETH on behalf of users. When zkSync Era users stake ETH natively, they'll receive an equivalent amount of LETH tokens they can use to earn additional yield on its DeFi protocols. To incentivize LETH liquidity providers, Veno is planning to introduce its native VNO token to the zkSync Era blockchain as part of its roadmap. VNO token holders are encouraged to provide liquidity for LETH in a number of ways. They can lock their VNO into the Fountain and earn additional VNO as rewards, determined by the amount and duration they commit to locking up their tokens. Alternatively, users can lock their VNO into the Reservoir and receive Real Yield rewards in ETH, which constitute 50% of all the ETH staking commissions earned by Veno. An additional incentive mechanism allows zkSync Era users to deposit their LETH-ETH-LP tokens into Veno Garden to earn additional VNO rewards. Moreover, Veno offers further opportunities by providing users with an NFT receipt whenever they withdraw their LETH tokens, effectively making it possible for users to access their unstaked assets immediately. As a proof of withdrawal, this NFT provides a way for users to utilize their funds before they become available. It's expected that this feature will become increasingly useful over time as the Exit Queue for staked ETH grows. If this happens, withdrawals of staked ETH might take weeks or even months to process, meaning those tokens are not being utilized for extensive periods of time. "Veno's latest LETH withdrawal NFT brings unprecedented advantages to the liquid staking arena. Users gain the ability to seamlessly manage their finances by transferring claim NFTs and tapping into their value through borrowing, all while protecting themselves against market uncertainties. This launch is a testament to our ongoing commitment to provide liquidity and amplify the utility of users' staked assets," said Zimfony, Product Lead of Veno Finance. “As one of the most promising Ethereum scaling solutions, zkSync Era is the perfect vehicle for us to expand our vision for cross-chain liquid staking.” The announcement means Veno becomes the first native Ethereum liquid staking protocol to support native staking and withdrawals of ETH on the zkSync Era blockchain. By obtaining this first-mover advantage, Veno is poised to grow a protocol that has already witnessed significant expansion over the last year. For instance, the total value locked (TVL) on Veno has doubled over the last 3 months, while its number of unique stakers has increased by 10x over the past year. The expansion to zkSync Era represents another key milestone for Veno, following the launch of its Veno Gardens platform that provides various options for VNO token holders to maximize their earnings potential. Other recent developments include Veno becoming the first to enable ATOM staking on Cronos, and the introduction of its CRO Liquidity Strategy, which automatically harvests and compounds incentive rewards for users. zkSync Era is one of the fastest-growing L2 scaling solutions for the Ethereum blockchain, enabling the world's most popular decentralized network to scale to untold heights. Its pioneering use of zero-knowledge proof technology enables zkSync Era to perform rapid and secure transactions while reducing fees to a fraction of the cost, and has played a key role in growing its adoption. About Veno Finance Veno Finance is a liquid staking protocol on the Cronos chain and was recently launched on zkSync Era. Veno enables its users to stake their $CRO, $ATOM or $ETH and receive an Auto-compounding, yield-bearing receipt token $LCRO, $LATOM or $LETH respectively on each chain. The receipt $LCRO token is designed to maximize composability by automatically accruing CRO, ATOM or ETH staking yield value and can be used freely across the Cronos and zkSync Era DeFi ecosystems. Veno Finance offers an NFT receipt during the waiting period that can be traded on NFT platforms within the Cronos and zkSync Era ecosystems, providing an additional liquidity channel for users. Positioned as a vertically integrated liquid staking protocol, Veno Finance aims to achieve cost savings by leveraging its own node infrastructure and/or that of its partners. Key points of differentiation include: enterprise-grade node set-up, deep expertise in running node infrastructure, and an insurance module to help secure user funds in the unlikely event of a slashing penalty. Veno Finance is incubated by Cronos Labs - the blockchain startup accelerator that helps builders to create user-friendly applications on the Cronos chain and to drive mainstream adoption of Web3.

Beyond Diagnosis: Cardio Diagnostics' Actionable Clinical Intelligence Platform Provides Personalized Insights To Help Prevent Heart Attacks

Cardio Diagnostics Holdings, Inc

By Jeremy Golden, Benzinga An artificial intelligence-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company named Cardio Diagnostics (NASDAQ: CDIO) has launched a first-of-its-kind platform called Actionable Clinical Intelligence or ACI, that offers new epigenetic and genetic insights to clinicians prescribing the company’s Epi+Gen CHD and PrecisionCHD tests. Epi+Gen CHD is a powerful test that predicts the three-year risk for a coronary heart disease (CHD) event – a heart attack – and PrecisionCHD is a test for the detection of CHD. These AI-powered integrated genetic-epigenetic clinical tests only require a simple blood draw that can be performed at home or in provider settings without the need to wait weeks or months to get tested. Results from both of these laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) are coupled to the ACI platform. By merging LDT results with a patient’s unique epigenetic and genetic biomarkers and clinical information, ACI can provide deeper and actionable insights to clinicians about factors driving the patient’s CHD. Insights include the relative contribution of each of the patient’s biomarkers to CHD, evidence on the role of these biomarkers in CHD pathogenesis and changes in the measured biomarkers over time in response to lifestyle and therapeutic interventions. With the goal of improving patient outcomes, this evidence-based information is tailored to each patient to help elucidate areas of concern and aid a clinician’s independent assessments. “With ACI, we are expanding the tools available to healthcare providers, enabling them to make personalized, data-driven decisions that are informed by a patient's unique genetic and epigenetic profile,” said Tim Dogan, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer of Cardio Diagnostics. “Empowering clinicians with insights, such as those offered by ACI, furthers our pursuit to help improve patient outcomes towards realizing a future where heart disease can be more effectively prevented, managed, and treated.” In addition to providing deeper insights to providers, ACI also has the potential to benefit employers and health plans. Health plans can leverage personalized insights from ACI to risk stratify and identify individuals in need of additional interventions. These heightened and targeted interventions may serve to reduce costly utilization and avoidable hospitalizations while helping improve chronic care management. This can reduce healthcare costs. For employers, adding the PrecisionCHD and Epi+Gen CHD tests with ACI into employee wellness programs can promote proactive management of factors contributing to CHD, which could improve overall employee health, reduce absenteeism and lower healthcare expenditures. Heart disease imposes significant costs on the U.S. healthcare system and workforce. According to the CDC, heart disease results in $147 billion per year in lost productivity. The condition leads to around 655,000 deaths annually – 1 in 4 of all deaths in the U.S. Given the widespread impact and high costs of heart disease, innovative solutions for prevention and early detection can provide significant value. For example, one study found that Cardio Diagnostics' Epi+Gen CHD test for assessing coronary heart disease risk could reduce costs by up to $42,000 per quality-adjusted life year compared to standard testing. With the ability to identify individuals at risk earlier and enable more personalized treatment plans, the company's epigenetic and genetic testing paired with the Actionable Clinical Intelligence platform aims to help mitigate the effects of heart disease – potentially saving lives and reducing strain on the healthcare system. Widespread adoption of such innovative approaches has the potential to significantly reduce the prevalence and consequences of heart disease nationwide. "Many at risk for or who already have coronary heart disease do not have traditional risk factors, signs, and symptoms,” said Meesha Dogan, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founder at Cardio Diagnostics. “By harnessing the power of epigenetics, genetics, and AI, we now have the ability to personalize the management and treatment of heart disease at the molecular level, where biology happens. That is the promise of Precision Cardiovascular Medicine." Cardio Diagnostics is an artificial intelligence-powered precision cardiovascular medicine company that makes cardiovascular disease prevention, detection, and management more accessible, personalized, and precise. The Company was formed to further develop and commercialize clinical tests by leveraging a proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven Integrated Genetic-Epigenetic Engine (“Core Technology”) for cardiovascular disease to become one of the leading medical technology companies for improving prevention, detection, and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Savi Raises $12M in Series A Funding for Cloud-First Video Platform

Savi Solutions

Savi, the cloud video and AI operations platform for distributed enterprise teams, today announced a $12M Series A funding round led by Next Coast Ventures, with participation from Rock Creek Capital and existing investors. The funding comes on the heels of Savi’s rapid growth due to customer demand for a true cloud video solution that not only meets the increasing demands of security and loss prevention teams but unlocks the power of video for the entire organization. As brands and restaurant, retail, hospitality, and convenience store operators look to the future unlocks that video is beginning to bring to their organization, they need a solution that meets their needs today but enables future technology adoption without onsite infrastructure changes. “In the hospitality industry, it’s essential to understand the culture and behaviors driving things at a store level,” said Josh Boshard, the COO of Savory Fund, who is responsible for the operations and technology teams at all of Savory’s 175 portfolio restaurants. “Savi is one of the few technologies that we deploy across all brands because their platform allows our entire organization to gain insight into store-level operations, and since they are truly cloud-based they’ve allowed us to adopt new advancements in video-related technologies affordably.” Other high-growth brands and operators like Savory Fund have chosen Savi to unlock the power of their video data at thousands of locations throughout North America, including Marco’s Pizza, Scooters Coffee, Good2go Gas Stations, Invicta Stores, and more. Savi will use this funding to expand into new markets, grow partnership and reseller channels, and continue innovating as the leading cloud video and AI platform today. Brock Weeks, the CEO and co-founder of Savi said, “Video has been trapped in onsite servers to serve as an expensive, reactive insurance policy for far too long. By fundamentally rearchitecting video to be cloud-first and free from deprecating on-site servers, Savi has affordably and permanently opened the door to video-centric operations today, and seamless adoption of future AI advancements.” As other technologies continue to advance at record-setting speed, Savi is leading the way in video-centric operations that combine true cloud video, connected data, and computer vision AI into a single platform to help modern multi-site teams transform physical and IT operations, increase profitability, and drive growth. Savi partners with industry-leading security integrators, MSP, and other IT resellers–united in a shared pursuit of providing their customers a platform to assist in growing efficient, sustainable, and durable businesses.
