Envoys to China visit Xiamen to help the World Heritage Convention

Published

on

The World Heritage Conference is about to be held. Fujian is ready to organize the conference at a high level to better show the world the Chinese style and tell the Fujian story. At the invitation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 22 foreign envoys were in Fujian from July 13th to 17th. They went to Xiamen, Longyan, Ningde, Fuzhou and other places to visit the Gutian conference site, inspect Ningde’s Xiaqi village, etc., to understand the economic and social development of our province. 22 foreign envoys arrived in Fujian. At the first stop, they came to Xiamen, known as the “Sea Garden”. The envoys admired the achievements made in the development of the Xiamen Special Economic Zone.

Visit the Yundang Academy to understand the practice and results of ecological governance and protection

After getting off the plane on July 14, the envoys went straight to Yundang Academy to learn about the practices and results of the ecological management and protection of Yundang Lake. Somalia’s ambassador to China, Awale Ali Kurane, also took notes seriously. The comprehensive management of Yundang Lake has promoted the black and smelly waters and the extinct fish and shrimps of Yundang Lake to become the “Xiamen City Meeting Room” with clear waters and green shores and the fragrance of birds and flowers. It has become a good place for citizens to relax. “I really appreciate Xiamen’s achievements in balancing economic development and environmental protection, which are also closely related to Xi Jinping’s thoughts on ecological civilization.” Samoa’s ambassador to China, Tapsaray Toomata, said Xiamen’s experience It is worth learning and learning from all countries. He who has been to Xiamen before has witnessed the changes in Xiamen with his own eyes: “The city is getting more and more beautiful, and its development is getting better and better. I also heard that Xiamen is an immigrant city. I believe that it can attract so many people and it is naturally unique. Charm.”

Set foot on Gulangyu Island and revel in the unique cultural atmosphere here

Afterwards, the envoys took the “Lujiang 99” passenger ship to visit the scenery on both sides of the Lujiang River and were excited about their upcoming visit to Gulangyu, the Museum of Architecture of the World. The Minister of the Syrian Embassy in China, Bruhan Al Khatib, has not put down his phone, and recorded video after video, “I will send these videos to my friends in various countries to let them know what a beautiful city Xiamen is. .” Set foot on Gulangyu Island, this is a cultural tour of Xiamen. Visiting the Gulangyu Historical and Cultural Exhibition Hall, Shuzhuang Garden, walking through the streets to the homes of local residents to listen to family concerts… The compact and substantial itinerary allowed the envoys to fully indulge in the unique cultural atmosphere of Gulangyu. “This afternoon was very beautiful. I fully felt Xiamen’s great emphasis on the protection of cultural heritage and its unremitting efforts in the inheritance of historical and cultural heritage.” Shang Mugan, Minister of the Malaysian Embassy in China, said that Xiamen is an important place for cultural heritage protection.

The charm of Xiamen is everywhere

Private envoys, just like many ordinary tourists who come to Xiamen, also like to “take freely”, but compared to other tourists, they are more obsessed with digging Xiamen’s local culture. For example, knowing that the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in Yundang Academy has a good meaning in traditional Chinese culture, the envoys named it “Lucky tree” and immediately triggered a wave of group photos. They appreciate Xiamen’s rapid development while retaining its own characteristics. There were also some interesting details at the scene. For example, the Mauritian ambassador to China Wang Chunwan wore a Tang suit, which stood out among the envoys. As a descendant of Chinese descent, he has a natural kindness to China, and this is also his fourth visit to Fujian. He said that Xiamen makes him feel particularly cordial because he has the same blue sea and blue sky as Mauritius. And Tapsaray Toomata, who has been to Xiamen many times, misses Xiamen’s sunshine and seafood in his heart. He said that Xiamen is one of his favorite Chinese cities. The moment he landed from rainy Beijing to sunny Xiamen, he really felt very good, “and I can eat Xiamen’s seafood again.”

Malaysia-Based ONE COMPANY Foundation Unveils ONE WALLET, a Keyless Telegram-Native Wallet on TON

Published

on

Foundation-backed Web3 wallet replaces seed phrases with 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share custody; publishes Whitepaper V1.0 covering product, security, and the $1 token utility model.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia ONE COMPANY, a foundation registered with SSM, the Companies Commission of Malaysia, today unveiled ONE WALLET, a Telegram-native Web3 wallet built on the TON blockchain. The foundation also published ONE WALLET Whitepaper V1.0, detailing the product, security architecture, and the utility model of its $1 token.

ONE WALLET targets the gap between custodial exchange wallets — easy but centrally controlled — and self-custody wallets, which are powerful but ask mainstream users to memorize twelve-word seed phrases and install separate apps. ONE WALLET inverts that order: users open Telegram, complete a lightweight device check, and transact. There is no seed phrase to write down and no app to download.

At the core is a 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share custody model. A user’s signing key is split into three shares — held by the device, the user’s Telegram account, and an offline recovery share. The wallet is designed so that no single party, including ONE WALLET, can move funds alone: any two shares are combined briefly on the user’s device to sign a transaction, then discarded. Any one share alone cannot reconstruct the key.

As a foundation-led initiative, ONE COMPANY frames ONE WALLET as the financial entry point to a broader digital ecosystem spanning fintech, AI, games, travel, and information services built on blockchain. The foundation’s stated mandate includes research and education for Web3, user protection and transparency, and regulatory-compliance systems.

“Most people will never write down a seed phrase, and they shouldn’t have to,” said James Kim, CEO of ONE COMPANY. “Our job as a foundation is to make self-custody feel as natural as sending a message — and to do it with security that’s honest about its boundaries. Opening private testing and publishing our whitepaper on the same day is a deliberate choice: we want users, partners, and regulators reading the same document.”

ONE WALLET’s roadmap moves from the core wallet (multi-chain send, receive, and swap) to a QR-based payments rail with merchant settlement, followed by the $1 token utility layer and an ecosystem of partner mini-apps. Whitepaper V1.0 is available in English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.

It replaces seed-phrase backups with a 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share custody model and is designed to combine a wallet, a QR-based payment rail, and the $1 token ecosystem in a single Telegram Mini App. Whitepaper V1.0 is available in EN, KO, JA, and ZH.

Confimarket Wins HackCanton Season 1 with Privacy-Preserving Consensus and Market Intelligence Infrastructure Built on Canton Network

Published

on

NEW YORK, NY Confimarket, backed and incubated by WebWise Capital, is pioneering confidential consensus discovery and information-aggregation infrastructure for institutional participants requiring strict privacy, robust market structures, and advanced financial workflows. Built on the Canton Network, the privacy-preserving market intelligence platform secured first place at the inaugural HackCanton Season 1 grand final, emerging victorious from a competitive global pool of more than 300 development teams across 15 countries.

Confimarket, a privacy-preserving prediction market built on Canton Network, has won first place at HackCanton Season 1 after advancing through a competitive field of more than 300 builders from over 15 countries.

The project was selected as the first-place winner following the grand final of HackCanton Season 1, an ecosystem hackathon organized by AppsFactory and focused on DeFi, RWA, DAO & Governance, and AI applications for Canton Network.

Confimarket is being developed as a prediction market for serious capital and demanding participants. Its core thesis is that prediction markets become materially more valuable when users can participate without exposing sensitive strategy, intent, or positioning to the broader market.

Prediction markets have already shown their ability to aggregate information at scale. However, many high-value participants — including professional traders, institutions, analysts, and organizations with sensitive views — may be reluctant to participate in fully transparent public markets. Confimarket is designed around that gap: market-based information discovery with privacy-preserving participation, credible settlement, and infrastructure suitable for more advanced financial workflows.

“Prediction markets are one of the most important categories in crypto because they turn information, belief, and probability into tradable markets. But the next stage of the category requires better infrastructure for participants who cannot expose their strategies or positions publicly,” said Alexander I, General Partner at WebWise Capital. “That is the opportunity we see with Confimarket: confidential prediction markets built for more serious capital, stronger market structure, and institutional-grade use cases.”

Canton Network is a natural environment for this model because it combines privacy, interoperability, and an architecture designed for synchronized financial markets. Canton describes itself as the first privacy-enabled open blockchain network, built to preserve privacy while allowing participants to exchange data and value across connected applications.

Canton Network has also been attracting prominent financial institutions and ecosystem participants. Official Canton materials list organizations such as J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BNY, BNP Paribas, Bank of America, and others in the broader ecosystem. For Confimarket, this makes Canton a strategically relevant foundation: the network is designed around privacy-preserving financial infrastructure rather than general-purpose public-chain transparency.

During HackCanton Season 1, Confimarket refined its product thesis, shipped core functionality, gathered user feedback, and strengthened the architecture behind the platform. The team used the hackathon as an early proving ground for confidential prediction market workflows on Canton Network, with a focus on market creation, trading logic, settlement flows, and the user experience required to make prediction markets accessible to higher-value participants.

The hackathon win represents an early ecosystem validation signal for Confimarket as the project moves from prototype development toward product readiness. The grand final and judging process provided feedback from Canton ecosystem leaders, venture investors, infrastructure companies, and industry participants.

Projects at HackCanton Season 1 were evaluated by representatives from the Canton Foundation as well as venture and industry participants including DWF Ventures, LongHash, Scytale Digital, Jsquare VC, Quantstamp, and Chainlink Labs.

Following the hackathon, Confimarket is focused on completing its trading engine, improving the user interface and onboarding flow, preparing private beta access, and working toward liquidity and ecosystem partnerships. The team’s next phase is centered on turning the hackathon-winning prototype into a product that can support real prediction market activity, privacy-preserving participation, and institutional-grade use cases.

Confimarket is also continuing to position itself within the Canton ecosystem as a prediction market layer for use cases where privacy, credible execution, and market-based forecasting are essential.

Brazil Digital Nomad Visa Weekly Inquiries Double Ahead of Carnaval 2027

Published

on

Inquiries for Brazil’s digital nomad visa have doubled since January 2026 as Carnaval 2027 approaches and the Florianópolis nomad scene logs a 96 percent jump in check-ins. With the festival eight months out and consulate processing running 30 to 90 days, applicants now have a narrow window to qualify. Rio de Janeiro immigration lawyer Camila Araujo Mota, who leads the only Brazilian law practice focused exclusively on digital nomad visa applications, says her team is reviewing more files in the first half of 2026 than in all of 2024.

Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil, 29th May 2026 – Brazil’s digital nomad visa is suddenly the hottest residency permit in Latin America. Weekly inquiries to specialist law practices have doubled since January, the Brazilian National Immigration Council has registered more than 3,800 nomads to date, and Florianópolis, the island city that just ranked seventh among the world’s fastest growing remote work hubs, logged a 96 percent jump in digital nomad check-ins during the first five months of 2026 alone. The next catalyst is already on the calendar: Carnaval 2027, scheduled for February 5 through 13, is forecast to surpass this year’s record 65 million revelers and 300,000 international tourists.

For nomads hoping to attend Carnaval 2027 as residents rather than visitors, the application clock has already started. Most do-it-yourself digital nomad visa applications take three to six months to process. The festival is eight months away. The window to qualify is narrowing.

A two-year build that just hit escape velocity

Brazil welcomed 9.3 million international tourists in 2025, a 37 percent increase over the previous year and the highest annual figure in the country’s tourism history, per Embratur. The Brazilian Ministry of Tourism is targeting 10 million for 2026, which would put Brazil among the fastest-growing major tourism economies in the Western Hemisphere.

The digital nomad share of that traffic is rising faster than the average. Tourism boards estimate digital nomads spent R$1.2 billion across Rio de Janeiro, Florianópolis, and São Paulo in 2025. The Florianópolis Tourism Observatory projects the city will host more than 10,000 long-term nomads per year by 2030, generating R$1.5 billion in annual local economic impact.

Globally, the digital nomad population reached 43 million in 2026, more than double the level of three years earlier, according to Nomads.com data. The services market built around them grew to US$54.5 billion this year at a 22 percent compound annual growth rate, per Research and Markets. Brazil sits in that market with the lowest income threshold for nomad residency among G20 economies: US$1,500 per month or US$18,000 in savings, against Spain’s €2,849 monthly requirement and Portugal’s €3,680.

The Carnaval 2027 trigger

Carnaval 2026 set the bar. The national festival drew 65 million people, a 22 percent jump from 2025, with 300,000 international tourists across the country and 110,000 to Rio alone. Rio’s local economy gained an estimated R$5.9 billion. Bahia drew 3.8 million tourists to its own Carnaval. Hotel occupancy in Rio hit 98 percent. International ticket purchases to Rio between February 13 and 18 ran 9 percent above the previous year, with Chilean demand up 41 percent and American demand up 11 percent.

What turns short-term visitors into long-term residents is not the festival itself, but what they find after. Embratur reports that 95 percent of international tourists who visit Brazil say they want to return. A growing share are now returning on a residency basis.

The lawyer who saw it coming

“What we are seeing in 2026 is a fundamentally wider applicant pool,” says Camila Araujo Mota, the OAB-licensed Brazilian immigration lawyer who founded GetBrazilVisa and is the only attorney in Brazil focused exclusively on digital nomad visa applications. “South Africans, Greeks, Singaporeans, and Australians are now applying alongside Americans, Brits, and Canadians. Brazil has become a year-round residency choice, not a Carnaval-week trip.”

Why Brazil out-positions the alternatives

The country’s competitive edge in 2026 is the combination of cost, infrastructure, and visa terms.

A comfortable digital nomad lifestyle in Florianópolis or Curitiba runs between US$800 and US$1,500 per month, depending on neighborhood. The same lifestyle costs US$2,700 to US$4,800 in Lisbon, the benchmark European nomad city, and US$2,200 to US$3,200 in Mexico City.

Internet infrastructure no longer poses the question it once did. Brazil ranks 26th globally for fixed broadband at a median 222 megabits per second, per Ookla. Brazil leads South America in mobile speeds at 260 megabits per second, nearly three times faster than the second-place country in the region. Fiber-to-the-home plans at 1 gigabit per second are available in every major city.

The visa terms hold up under comparison. The VITEM XIV grants one year of residency, renewable for a second year. Foreign-source income is not taxed in Brazil for residents staying under 183 days per calendar year. Spouses, children, and parents qualify as dependents at US$60 per month each. Total government fees, including the CRNM card fee that rose to R$204.77 on January 1, 2026, and the consulate visa fee that lifted to €120, range between US$433 and US$1,159 depending on nationality and route of application.

Portugal’s D8 visa, by comparison, requires €3,680 in monthly income, more than double Brazil’s threshold. Spain, which sits at the top of the 2026 Digital Nomad Visa Index, requires €2,849 monthly and levies a 24 percent local tax rate on Spanish-source income.

A service built for the moment

GetBrazilVisa was founded by Mota in 2022, the same year the visa was created under Normative Resolution CNIg No. 45 of 2021. The firm has processed more than 50 digital nomad applications to date, with a 95 percent approval rate and a 30-day average processing time. Do-it-yourself applicants average three to six months and roughly 85 percent approval. Every applicant works directly with Mota, with no paralegals, junior associates, or ticket systems between the client and the lead attorney. The firm serves applicants from 15 nationalities across five languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Arabic.
