Artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing researcher Sairam Madasu is utilizing new technologies to make a difference in dementia care. With a decade of experience focusing on enhancing efficiency to address real-world challenges, he is expanding his work to ensure a structured, effective approach to elder care. Expanding Into Healthcare to Make an Impact Today, Sairam works at Microsoft as a senior support escalation engineer and has extensive experience with enterprise-level Azure customers. His career is defined by a passion for technology-driven problem-solving that makes a social impact. “I have always been fascinated by how machine learning can enhance human lives,” Sairam explained, “particularly in critical areas like healthcare and eldercare.” The Foundation to Enhance a Healthcare Platform Sairam’s experience with Microsoft’s mission-critical applications provided him with a foundation in scalable automation, something he felt he could apply to a sector in need of innovation: healthcare. So, collaborating with the ThinkByte.ai team, Sairam implemented a personalized recommendation engine for dementia care solutions for Anvayaa, an AI-powered eldercare platform, to change the narrative around elder care. However, before he could integrate an AI model into Anvayaa’s systems, Sairam recognized that he would have to overcome some significant obstacles. In healthcare, precision and trust are key, but AI can be seen in a skeptical light. He needed to build an AI model that adapts in real-time to changing cognitive conditions, seamlessly integrates with a larger care ecosystem, and supports human caregivers. Taking Key Factors Into Account To accomplish this, Sairam prioritized continuous optimization, real-world testing, and feedback-driven improvements. These individual factors ensured that the model would fulfill its role with accuracy and trust at its core. Sairam’s AI-powered recommendation engine improves caregiver efficiency, reduces manual planning, and enhances patient well-being by increasing access to human care. When Anvayaa implemented the new AI systems, the change was evident. Sairam recalls that one of the most meaningful moments of his career came when caregivers first used the recommendation engine and shared how it improved their engagement with patients. “A caregiver mentioned how, previously, they had to manually plan engagement activities for dementia patients, often unsure of what would work best,” Sairam recalled. “With the AI-driven system, they received personalized, data-backed activity suggestions, saving them time and making a tangible difference in patients’ engagement and well-being.” AI as an Enhancement to Human Effort Sairam believes that AI is not meant to replace human effort but to augment and improve it. He demonstrates this sentiment clearly through his work, which improves access to human caregiving for patients and enhances a caregiver’s ability to engage with the patient. Where dementia care was faced with a lack of personal engagement, a high workload, and static solutions, Sairam’s AI-powered recommendation engine changed the game. “The story should not focus on the technology itself,” Sairam explained, “but on how it’s making a tangible difference in people’s lives.” A Leader in AI-Driven Healthcare Sairam has positioned himself as a leader in AI-driven eldercare, not by building flashy technology but by providing tools that improve the lives of others. At Microsoft and in his approach to elder care, he brings a wealth of experience that enables him to redefine what AI can achieve in healthcare.

AI Can Give Voice to Sign Language, Empowering the Deaf

Zug, Switzerland—March 24, 2025—Arcium, a leader in encrypted computing, today announced its Community Round in collaboration with CoinList. This initiative gives participants the opportunity to take part in Arcium’s mission of enabling data to move across the internet in a fully encrypted state. Arcium is redefining core industries like blockchain, finance, healthcare, defense, AI, and more, by computing sensitive information without ever exposing it, unlocking a new era of privacy, security, and collaboration. Empowering the Community with a Fair and Transparent Token Launch Historically, the combination of poorly structured vesting schedules and inflated valuation leads to the problem of “low float, high FDV”. Arcium takes a new approach, with the Community Round being 100% unlocked at the Token Generation Event (TGE). This ensures that the community—not VCs, early investors, or the team—holds immediate control over their tokens. Holders can fully participate in governance, contribute to the network, and stake their tokens from day one. Locked tokens will not be eligible for staking, reinforcing a fair and transparent launch structure. Fair Valuation and Strong Tokenomics Arcium enables its community to become true stakeholders, fostering decentralization and security while engaging freely in the network’s growth.Yannik Schrade, CEO at Arcium says: “At Arcium, we believe that real innovation happens when the community has ownership from day one. By ensuring 100% unlock at TGE, we are giving our supporters the freedom to fully participate in governance, staking, and network growth.” A high initial token float ensures the Arcium Network can function effectively from the outset, empowering entirely new use cases across various verticals. The Arcium token is required for node activation, network security, and staking, making broad and immediate distribution essential to decentralizing control and preventing supply bottlenecks.

CARV’s D.A.T.A. Framework Goes Open Source – Empowering AI Agents With Economic Self Awareness

This piece is inspired by a comment on Social Media by "Supi Mailei" whereby he specifically pointed out and I paraphrase "No one should get rich by working in the government civil service. If they want to be rich, they should be in the private sector." In my recent piece about postponing my parliamentary ambitions, I outlined my decision to work alongside the current administration rather than seeking immediate office by running for the Tongan Parliament in November. Today, I want to share my detailed roadmap for the next four years, a journey that goes far beyond traditional political aspirations to encompass a fundamental re-imagining of Tonga's systems and my own path to serving our nation. Beyond "Puhi Favai": A Foundation Built on Mathematical Proof When I speak of transforming Tonga into the Web3 Tech Hub of the Pacific, I'm proposing nothing less than a complete overhaul of our political, financial, and economic systems. The traditional foundation of "Puhi Favai",promises made by word of mouth, must evolve into a system built on cryptographic certainty and mathematical proofs. This isn't merely about implementing new technologies, it's about restructuring the very fabric of how our society functions and conducts its affairs. The Sovereignty Imperative History has shown us that the most effective political figures are those who enter public service from a position of financial independence. This isn't about wealth for its own sake, but about the freedom to pursue one's vision without compromise. Consider the example of Donald Trump, regardless of one's political views, his financial independence allowed him to pursue his "Make America Great Again (MAGA)" vision without being beholden to traditional political funding structures. This observation leads to a crucial truth i.e. entering politics primarily for financial gain is a fundamental misunderstanding of public service's purpose. The civil service sector is not, and should not be, a path to personal enrichment. Those seeking wealth should look to the private sector, as the abuse of political power often stems from misaligned expectations about financial rewards in public service. My 2025-2029 Road-map Over the next three years, my focus will be on achieving personal financial sovereignty before seeking a seat in the Legislative Assembly. This isn't just about personal success, it's about building a model for the kind of economic empowerment I envision for all Tongans. My roadmap consists of several key phases: Building Digital Infrastructure (2025-2026)


I am currently developing and implementing a blockchain solution, a proof-of-concept that can be implemented for governmental processes


Creating educational platforms for digital literacy


Establishing partnerships with global tech leaders while maintaining Tongan autonomy



Economic Innovation (2026-2027)


Launching pilot programs for cryptocurrency integration in local commerce


Developing frameworks for digital asset management


Creating sustainable revenue models for tech-based initiatives



Community Empowerment (2027-2028)


Scaling successful pilot programs to wider communities


Implementing training programs for next-generation tech leaders


Building coalition support for legislative framework changes



Pre-Parliamentary Preparation (2028-2029)

Finalizing and documenting successful initiatives
Developing comprehensive policy proposals
Building political alliances based on demonstrated successes The Mathematical Foundation The transition from "Puhi Favai" to cryptographic proof represents more than a technological shift, it's a fundamental change in how we establish trust and verify actions in our society. By building systems based on mathematical certainty rather than verbal promises, we create: Transparent governance mechanisms
Verifiable transaction systems
Immutable records of governmental actions
Automated compliance frameworks
Decentralized decision-making processes The Path Forward This roadmap isn't just about personal preparation for parliamentary service, it's about demonstrating the practical implementation of Web3 technologies in Tongan society. By achieving financial sovereignty first, I aim to enter parliament not just with ideas, but with proven solutions and the independence to advocate for them effectively. My whitepaper that I'm currently translating into Tongan will provide both the political model and the technical backbone for these initiatives, ensuring that our path forward is transparent, achievable and precisely defined. This isn't just about modernizing our systems, it's about leapfrogging current limitations to position Tonga as a leader in the digital age. Conclusion The journey to 2029 is not just about preparing for parliamentary service, it's about building the foundation for Tonga's digital transformation. By focusing on achieving financial sovereignty first, I aim to enter public service from a position of strength and independence, capable of implementing the radical changes our nation needs without compromise. A critical understanding driving this transformation is the relationship between economic specialization and prosperity. The reality facing many developing nations, including Tonga, is that economic diversity and specialization are essential prerequisites for sustainable wealth creation. You cannot have a large profitable economy without a high degree of specialization. This fundamental economic principle explains, in part, why many third-world countries remain trapped in cycles of poverty, they are often forced into singular specialty economies through IMF shark loans and similar financial instruments that limit rather than expand their economic possibilities. Our Web3 transformation strategy directly addresses this challenge. By building a digital infrastructure that enables multiple forms of economic activity and specialization, we can break free from the constraints of traditional development models. This isn't just about adding a digital layer to our existing economy, it's about creating new opportunities for specialization in areas like: Participatory governance


Digital asset management and trading


Blockchain development and maintenance


Cybersecurity services


Digital content creation and distribution


Smart contract development and auditing


Digital identity verification systems Each of these specializations creates its own ecosystem of supporting services and skills, leading to the kind of diverse, resilient economy that can sustain long-term growth and prosperity. By rejecting the single-specialty model often imposed on developing nations, we can build an economy that harnesses our people's full potential across multiple domains. As this roadmap unfolds, I invite all Tongans to engage with these ideas, challenge them, and help shape them. The future we're building isn't just about technology, it's about creating a new model of governance and economic prosperity that can serve as an example for the entire Pacific region. Through Web3 technologies and financial sovereignty, we can create pathways to multiple specializations that were previously impossible, transforming not just how we conduct business, but how we participate in the global economy. The path to 2029 is clear, and the work begins now. Together, we can build an economy that isn't just profitable, but truly sovereign, one that serves the diverse interests and capabilities of all Tongans, rather than the narrow constraints of traditional development models.

The Path to a Web3 Empowered Society Begins Now

Brands struggle to engage Web3 audiences due to the technical complexity of the space, the need for specific domain knowledge, nontraditional community dynamics, prior understanding of blockchain technology, and loose regulations. This complicates partnerships, fundraising, and even optics for Web3 products and services, creating a cycle in which breakout technology is consistently underfunded due to an asymmetrical demand/supply curve, making it harder to find qualified talent, harder to build use cases, and thus harder to secure funding and/or budget. The research is clear: 28% of social media marketers struggle to keep up with influencer marketing, and brand demand for specialists will continue to grow symmetrically with the field. Research and assessments are increasingly inadequate in finding Web3 influencers as few are in blockchain systems. Brands need accessible, on-chain solutions to bridge the gap. An increasingly popular brand audience engagement use case - crypto-powered loyalty apps - has proliferated to fill it. LunarCrush Social forces shape markets. In Web3, those social forces originate from community platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Discord. LunarCrush, a full-service Web3 social intelligence market data platform, analyzes social media conversations and tracks influencer activity to predict market movements. LunarCrush leverages these data to empower brands to make data-driven decisions, optimize influencer marketing campaigns, and increase ROI. LunarCrush insights empower brands to identify emerging trends, anticipate market shifts, and optimize their marketing spend to achieve maximum impact. The company presents a compelling opportunity in Web3 for blockchain-driven marketing solutions as demand for AI-driven marketing analytics platforms grows.

Nurturing fans and engaging long-term with target audiences using AI, CommunityOne helps brands establish a strong online presence and cultivate loyal customer followings, filling a growing demand for AI-driven community and engagement tools. Kazm: Gamifying Engagement for Long-Term Loyalty Web3 ventures need long-term user engagement to thrive. Kazm applies this principle to long-term user retention with gamified loyalty features like rewards, challenges, and personalized prizes. These encourage users to engage with brands actively, share their experiences, and become brand advocates within their networks. As gamified loyalty programs can increase customer engagement by up to 30%, incentivizing users to engage with brands with real-world rewards works. Their model has helped to lead client brands to differentiate their strategies and move past the otherwise prohibitive competition in the Web3 space. The Future of Web3 Influencer Marketing: A Data-Driven Odyssey Brands can win in Web3 using crypto-powered loyalty apps like these to accelerate and focus their reach while further monetizing their yield and increasing ROI parallel to reach. Whether solving for customer loyalty by leveraging social media, matching influencers with brands via AI, community management and moderation, or gamifying loyalty, use cases like these are shaping the future of influencer marketing.

Crypto-Powered Loyalty Apps Empower Brands to Enter Web3 

Imagine trying to manage a busy lemonade stand where you constantly adjust prices, reorder supplies, and keep track of sales—all while juggling homework and social life. For many users in the decentralized finance (DeFi) world, managing their digital assets can feel just as overwhelming. Enter ARMA, Giza’s latest innovation, which promises to simplify DeFi interactions by automating complex financial tasks on the Base network. Giza, a trailblazer in Web3 development, has unveiled ARMA on the Base network, setting a new benchmark for autonomous DeFi agents. ARMA, Giza's premier stablecoin yield optimization agent, is designed to handle sophisticated financial operations automatically, allowing users to achieve better financial outcomes without the need for constant manual management. Simplifying DeFi for Everyone Traditionally, participating in DeFi requires users to navigate multiple platforms, manage various investments, and make real-time decisions to maximize returns. This process can be complicated and risky, especially for those new to the space. ARMA changes the game by continuously monitoring the market, analyzing vast amounts of cross-chain data, and executing optimal strategies around the clock. Renç Korzay, CEO of Giza, explains, “Intelligence is becoming the arbiter of power in digital markets, yet most people remain limited by human cognitive constraints. Giza Agents are unlocking a new era of automated finance where machines handle the complexity of execution while preserving human sovereignty.” This means that users can benefit from advanced financial strategies without needing to understand every intricate detail themselves. A Leap Forward with Base Network The Base network, known for its high-performance infrastructure, provides the perfect platform for ARMA’s capabilities. With low transaction costs and deep liquidity pools, Base minimizes the chances of slippage—where the price at which a transaction is executed differs from the expected price. This efficiency allows ARMA to execute its optimization functions more effectively, enhancing capital efficiency and improving price discovery through specialized strategies. Since its launch, ARMA has already deployed over 7,000 agents, managed more than $300,000 in user assets, and executed over 10,000 autonomous transactions without human intervention. These numbers are expected to soar with the integration into Base, making advanced yield optimization accessible to a broader audience. Behind the Innovation ARMA’s success is built on Giza’s innovative approach to agent-driven DeFi. The platform integrates three core architectural advancements: Semantic Abstraction Layer: This layer transforms complex protocol interactions into standardized operations, enabling ARMA to execute sophisticated strategies seamlessly across different protocols.


Smart Account Infrastructure: With granular permission management through session keys, ARMA ensures non-custodial security and full user control over assets.


Decentralized Execution Network: By hosting agent operations through decentralized servers, Giza ensures that malicious behavior is penalized, fostering reliable and trustworthy performance. These advancements allow ARMA to operate efficiently and securely, providing users with a dependable tool for managing their DeFi investments. Looking Ahead Giza is not stopping with ARMA. The company is developing an SDK to enable other developers to deploy intelligent agents that can adapt dynamically to market conditions while maintaining user-defined security parameters. This move aims to further democratize access to advanced financial tools, making DeFi more accessible and user-friendly. Final Thoughts Giza’s ARMA represents a significant step forward in the DeFi landscape, making sophisticated financial strategies accessible to everyone, including young enthusiasts like Mia. By automating complex tasks and leveraging the robust infrastructure of the Base network, ARMA not only simplifies DeFi interactions but also enhances security and efficiency. As Giza continues to innovate, the future of decentralized finance looks brighter and more inclusive, paving the way for a new generation of financial empowerment.

Tap Protocol has partnered with the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) and the Dfinity Foundation to develop decentralized finance (DeFi) applications directly on Bitcoin’s Layer-1 blockchain. This collaboration aims to enhance Bitcoin’s functionality beyond its traditional role as a digital store of value. Bitcoin has long been recognized as a reliable digital asset, often referred to as "digital gold." However, its primary function has been limited to storing and transferring value, with most decentralized applications (dApps) and financial activities occurring outside its main network. This reliance on external solutions has posed challenges in fully utilizing Bitcoin’s potential for broader financial applications. Tap Protocol seeks to change this dynamic by enabling developers to create and deploy smart contracts—self-executing contracts with the terms directly written into code—on Bitcoin’s native blockchain. Unlike previous attempts that required third-party bridges, Tap Protocol’s approach eliminates the need for trusted intermediaries, ensuring a more secure and decentralized environment. A Milestone Achievement Since its launch, Tap Protocol has made strides in building infrastructure that allows for the seamless integration of DeFi on Bitcoin. One of its notable achievements is the launch of Taparoo Swap, the first decentralized exchange (DEX) built directly on Bitcoin. This platform allows users to trade cryptocurrencies without relying on centralized exchanges, enhancing security and transparency. Benny, the founder and lead developer of Tap Protocol, expressed his excitement about the partnership: “Working with ICP unlocks a huge amount of utility and functionality on Bitcoin. We’re looking forward to exploring how we can generate more value on-chain for both Bitcoin holders and the growing developer community.” How It Works The collaboration focuses on building smart contracts that operate natively on Bitcoin’s Layer-1, the foundational layer of the Bitcoin network where transactions are recorded. By avoiding the use of trusted bridges—external systems that connect different blockchains—Tap Protocol ensures that all transactions remain secure and decentralized. Here’s a simplified breakdown of the process: Development of Smart Contracts: Tap Protocol, in collaboration with ICP, develops smart contracts tailored for Bitcoin’s Layer-1.
Deployment on ICP: Tap Protocol operates a Bitcoin wallet on-chain, ultimately enabling co-processing to allow for decentralized applications to operate without relying on external platforms.
User Interaction: Developers and users can interact with these dApps seamlessly, enjoying the benefits of Bitcoin’s security and the innovative features of DeFi. A New Era for Bitcoin This partnership marks a pivotal moment for Bitcoin, traditionally seen as a stable and secure asset rather than a versatile platform for financial innovation. By integrating Tap Protocol’s expertise with ICP’s robust infrastructure, the collaboration opens the door to a more dynamic and functional Bitcoin ecosystem. For young enthusiasts and those new to the world of cryptocurrencies, this development means more opportunities to engage with Bitcoin beyond just buying and holding. It paves the way for new financial tools and services that are decentralized, transparent, and accessible to everyone. Final Thoughts The collaboration between Tap Protocol and ICP is set to drive significant advancements in the blockchain space. As more DeFi applications emerge on Bitcoin’s Layer-1, the network’s utility and adoption are expected to grow, attracting a wider range of users and developers.
