PayYoda analyzing the Blockchain payment characteristics and putting forward the Blockchain payment security reference

Published

on

The industrial circle and academic circle have begun to realize the importance and value of Blockchain payment security, and have carried out active exploration now. However, the current Blockchain payment is still in the early stage of industrial development with systematic study lacked. PayYoda analyzes the Blockchain payment security demand characteristics and defines the Blockchain payment security boundary, laying the foundation of Blockchain payment security reference frame.

Blockchain payment problem: Serious security privacy problem and lack of trust between both parties of the transaction

The traditional payment way is always of high risk, poor efficiency and many restrictions. Especially for the international trade, the buyer shall transfer money to the supplier’s account which needs to be confirmed by many international banks midway with complicated formalities and a long time taken (varying from several days to ten days and a half months) after a deal is closed. More importantly, the account is often frozen for no reason and the high service charge needs to be paid in the whole process because all countries have strict regulations on the amount and types of transactions when international payment. Furthermore, the centralized settlement system is with non-transparent data and unsafe hidden dangers, so the personal information may be disclosed.

Based on the problem, PayYoda puts forward the solution:

I. Credit-driven ecosystem

PayYoda constructs the credit-driven ecosystem by the credit scoring system to solve the security payment problem. Various payment security accidents (including merchant fraud, malicious user attack, phishing site and privacy disclosure) happen to the online payment and offline payment. How to create a safe payment environment becomes the high-priority tasks of all the payment networks.

The PayYoda ecosphere is credit-driven. To achieve the goal, related measures (including credit-driven ecology, merchant caution money, safety fund, privacy protection, credit score, and decentralized risk control anti-fraud) shall be taken to ensure the user asset security in many fields thoroughly.

II. Publicity, transparency and traceability

In addition to this, PayYoda’s strategy is solving the data source and data trust problems by its hardware equipment with machine language, and ensuring the data authenticity of the whole chain based on Blockchain characteristics-decentralization and immutability. The PayYoda’s design ensures the payment transaction data security in the process of acquisition, transmission, storage and computation with stable and reliable technology platform provided for data transmission and value circulation on the digital asset trading.

III. Decentralizing the payment on the Blockchain

After PayYoda implements the actual scenario of digital currency and realizes the integration with payment transactions via Blockchain, it won’t rely on the system in the central position for fund clearing and trading information storage any longer, but can transfer the value directly based on consensus mechanism which doesn’t need any trust coordination. The mechanism transformation result is as follows: On one hand, the huge service cost and maintenance costs of the third party of the third party institution are saved, the business process is simplified and the business costs for banks and customers are lowered; On the other hand, the flattening of the process increases the transfer speed and realizes the real-time transfer, and the security of the whole system can be ensured even though multiple nodes are attacked because a complete set of data copies is stored at each node of the system.

IV. Secure trading system based on artificial intelligence

The PayYoda secure trading protection system is based on multi-core concurrent technology, integrated safety engine technology, zero-copy technique, and other high performance architectures. It integrates ten layers of fine filtering function based on data header and data content (including DOS defense, user authentication, application control, intrusion prevention, site classification and filtering, virus filtration, web application defense and data leak prevention), forms the integrated security defense system from the network layer to the application layer, and realizes the clean flow delivery.

On the basis of artificial intelligence, PayYoda provides such abilities as data analysis, knowledge extraction, independent study, intelligent decision and automatic control which can create the innovative applications in the fields of network information security (such as network protection, data management, message audit, intelligent security and financial risk control).

V. Construction of sustainable payment ecosystem

The sustainable evolution of the platform (as the basic payment network) is of great importance. And the continuous evolution of the platform happens due to sustainable innovation ability in the premise of abiding by common rules. The common rules of the platform are ensured by the governance mechanism and consensus mechanism. As for the innovation, the development history of e-payment in these decades clearly shows: As long as the power is given to the innovators closest to the market, there will always be an endless supply of ideas. In terms of governance mechanism, PayYoda adopts the fully open ecological model so that the ecosphere participants can focus on the tasks they are best at and maximize their respective profits by the corresponding incentive mechanism with innovation driven via the market end.

PayYoda will continue to be rooted in the Blockchain-fertile soil and cooperate with various financial institutions and entity industries to build the decentralized payment ecology together based on Blockchain in the future!

Asante Babers Warns of the Everyday Cybersecurity Habits Putting Millions at Risk

Published

on

Cybersecurity engineer Asante Babers, based in the United States, is encouraging people to review their everyday digital habits before a simple mistake becomes a costly problem.

Colorado, USA, August 12th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Most people believe cybercriminals are only interested in large companies or wealthy individuals. According to cybersecurity engineer Asante Babers, that misconception is one of the biggest security risks people face today.

After more than 20 years designing and strengthening security systems across enterprise, government, and mission-critical environments, Babers says the majority of cyber incidents begin with ordinary decisions made by ordinary people.

“The biggest threat isn’t always a sophisticated attack,” Babers says. “More often, it’s a simple habit that someone never thought needed to change.”

Industry research supports that view:

  • More than 80% of data breaches involve stolen or weak passwords.

  • Over 90% of successful cyberattacks begin with phishing or social engineering.

  • Nearly 60% of people reuse passwords across multiple accounts.

  • Around 70% of security incidents involve some form of human error.

  • More than half of internet users have not enabled multi-factor authentication on their most important accounts.

Babers believes those numbers show that cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue.

“Every online account, every mobile device, and every email inbox is part of your personal security,” he says. “The habits you develop every day matter more than most people realise.”

The Mistake People Keep Making

One of the most common misconceptions Babers sees is the belief that installing security software is enough.

“Technology helps,” he explains. “But software can’t replace good judgement.”

He says many people unknowingly create unnecessary risk by reusing passwords, delaying software updates, or clicking on links without taking a moment to verify where they came from.

“Cybercriminals don’t always break into systems,” Babers says. “Many times, they’re invited in because someone trusted the wrong email or reused the wrong password.”

A Simple Cybersecurity Self-Check

Take a few minutes to answer these questions honestly.

  • Do you use a different password for your most important online accounts?

  • Have you enabled multi-factor authentication on your email and banking accounts?

  • Do you regularly install updates on your phone and computer?

  • Would you recognise the warning signs of a phishing email or text message?

  • Do you know what you would do if one of your online accounts was compromised?

  • Have you reviewed your online security settings within the past year?

  • Do you regularly back up your important files?

  • Are you careful before clicking unexpected links or downloading attachments?

What Your Answers Mean

If you answered yes to most of the questions, you have built strong habits that reduce your exposure to common cyber threats. Continue reviewing your accounts and stay informed as technology changes.

If you answered yes to about half of them, you already have a good foundation, but there are still opportunities to strengthen your security. Focus first on creating unique passwords and enabling multi-factor authentication wherever it is available.

If you answered no to most of the questions, now is a good time to take action. Start with your email account, update your passwords, enable additional account protection, and make sure your devices are running the latest software.

What to Do Next

Babers recommends focusing on a few practical habits rather than trying to solve everything at once.

Start by replacing any passwords that are reused across multiple accounts. Turn on multi-factor authentication for your email and financial accounts. Keep your devices updated, and pause before opening unexpected emails, text messages, or links.

“Security isn’t about becoming an expert,” Babers says. “It’s about slowing down long enough to make better decisions.”

He also encourages people to have conversations about online safety with family members, especially those who may be less familiar with today’s digital threats.

“One simple conversation can prevent a serious problem,” he says. “Awareness is still one of the strongest forms of protection we have.”

Call to Action

Take this self-check today and identify one cybersecurity habit you can improve this week. Then share it with a friend or family member. Small changes made consistently can significantly reduce your risk and help create safer online habits for everyone.

Press Release

Knot and Venmo Team Up to Make Venmo the Effortless Way to Pay

Published

on

New York City, NY, USA, August 12th, 2026, FinanceWire

Knot, the leading merchant connectivity platform, today announced they are partnering with Venmo to make it easy for millions of users to set Venmo as their saved payment method wherever they shop. Knot lets Venmo users make Venmo the way they pay at some of their favorite merchants, directly from the Venmo app and without manually entering their details.

Putting Venmo Balances to Work

From the Venmo app, users add Venmo as their saved payment method at the places they already shop in just a few taps, with no need to update payment information site by site. Depending on the merchant, users can either link their Venmo account to Pay with Venmo at checkout or save their Venmo Debit Card,¹ enabling a fast and easy way to spend with Venmo, all powered by Knot.

For Venmo, getting placed as the default payment method at high-frequency merchants keeps it top of wallet and helps drive everyday spend. It is one of the most direct ways to move Venmo from an occasional choice to a user’s go-to way to pay, deepening engagement across the Venmo ecosystem.     

A First for Knot

The collaboration marks the first time Knot has provisioned a proprietary checkout solution as the default payment option. With Pay with Venmo, Knot extends the card-on-file capability behind CardSwitcher to a native wallet, letting users set Venmo itself as the saved way to pay, not only the card tied to it. It is a meaningful expansion of what merchant connectivity can enable and a template for bringing other proprietary payment methods to the merchants where people shop.     

Value Across the Payments Ecosystem

The relationship reflects how Knot creates value on all three sides of a transaction. Users get a simpler, more connected way to pay. Collaborators like Venmo drive adoption of their payment methods and capture more of their users’ everyday spend. And merchants benefit from having a payment method on file, which means fewer failed payments and less involuntary churn.

Knot works with financial institutions and fintechs of every size, from large banks and credit unions to fast-growing fintechs, on card switching. The Venmo collaboration extends that footprint to one of the most widely used consumer payment brands in the country.

*The Venmo Mastercard is issued by The Bancorp Bank, N.A., pursuant to license by Mastercard International Incorporated. Card may be used everywhere Mastercard is accepted. The Bancorp Bank, N.A. is issuer of the Card only and not responsible for the associated accounts or other products, services, or offers from Venmo.

About Knot

Knot is the leading merchant connectivity platform, simplifying how consumers, merchants, and financial institutions interact. CardSwitcher is the foundation of Knot’s product suite, letting users update and manage card-on-file payments across hundreds of merchants. Building on the same connectivity infrastructure, TransactionLink delivers SKU-level transaction data, and SubManager gives users a single place to view and manage their subscriptions. By removing friction at every step, Knot helps financial institutions grow engagement, loyalty, and spend.

Face HIIT Celebrates Thousands of Women Who Have Embraced Healthy Aging Through Facial Fitness

Published

on

Growing community highlights the power of education, consistency, and shared experiences while introducing a new resource featuring participant testimonials.

New York, NY, August 12th, 2026, ZEX PR WIREFace HIIT is celebrating a growing global community of women who are embracing healthy aging through facial fitness, education, and consistent self-care. As interest in natural, non-invasive wellness continues to grow, the company is also expanding the ways prospective participants can learn about the Face HIIT experience by introducing a dedicated testimonials page featuring firsthand stories from women who have completed the program.

Founded by anatomy expert Sadie Nardini, Face HIIT has helped more than 75,000 women build sustainable facial fitness routines while growing a community of more than 2 million followers. Rather than promoting quick fixes, the program focuses on helping women understand how facial muscles, connective tissue, posture, and daily habits work together to support healthy aging.

“One of the most rewarding parts of this work is hearing women talk about what they’ve learned,” said Sadie Nardini. “Many people come to Face HIIT expecting to learn a few facial exercises. What they often discover is a completely new understanding of how their face works and how small, consistent habits can make a meaningful difference over time.”

Unlike many beauty trends that emphasize temporary solutions, Face HIIT encourages participants to build practical routines rooted in anatomy and movement science. The program combines targeted facial muscle exercises with myofascial release techniques to help women better understand the relationship between muscle health, facial tension, and overall facial wellness.

Research has shown that adults lose approximately 3 to 8 percent of muscle mass per decade after age 30. While discussions about aging often focus primarily on the body, or skincare, Face HIIT teaches that healthy facial muscles and reduced tension also contribute to facial support and expression.

Participant testimonials consistently reflect similar themes regardless of age or experience level. Many women describe gaining a better understanding of facial anatomy, becoming more aware of everyday tension patterns, and developing routines they genuinely enjoy maintaining. Others share that the greatest benefit has been feeling more confident because they better understand how to care for their own faces.

“Education changes everything,” Nardini said. “When women understand why they’re doing each movement, they’re much more likely to stay consistent. Lasting confidence comes from understanding how things got the way they are, and how to change it, not from constantly searching for the next trend.”

Behavioral research has long demonstrated that small, repeatable habits are more likely to become lasting routines than dramatic lifestyle changes. Face HIIT embraces that philosophy by encouraging participants to practice consistently instead of striving for perfection.

The Face HIIT community has also become an important source of encouragement for newcomers. Members regularly share personal experiences, celebrate milestones, and support one another as they build healthy routines at their own pace.

As part of its continued commitment to education and transparency, Face HIIT recently launched a dedicated testimonials page where prospective participants can explore firsthand accounts from women who have completed the program. The new resource highlights recurring themes found throughout the community, including increased confidence, visible face and neck improvements, a deeper understanding of facial anatomy, and the value of consistent daily practice. For those researching Sadie Nardini reviews, the testimonials page offers a helpful place to learn about real participant experiences and better understand what they can expect from the Face HIIT method.

“As our community continues to grow, what inspires me most isn’t simply hearing about results,” Nardini added. “It’s hearing women say they feel empowered because they understand their faces in a completely different way. That knowledge stays with them, and that’s what makes this work so meaningful.”

Face HIIT remains committed to helping women embrace healthy aging through education, movement, and realistic wellness practices that can be maintained for years to come.

About Sadie Nardini

Sadie Nardini is the founder and creator of Face HIIT, an anatomy-based facial fitness method designed to help women support healthy aging through movement and education. Drawing on decades of experience studying anatomy, exercise physiology, and movement, she developed Face HIIT after recognizing that facial muscles deserve the same thoughtful training as the rest of the body. Today, Sadie educates women around the world on facial wellness, empowering them with practical knowledge and sustainable habits that help them age confidently.

About Face HIIT

Face HIIT is a facial fitness program that combines targeted facial muscle exercises, myofascial release techniques, simpler skincare, and educational resources to support healthy face and neck aging naturally. Built on principles of anatomy and movement science, the program helps women understand how facial muscles, posture, and tension patterns influence facial appearance over time. With more than 75,000 participants and a community of over 2 million followers, Face HIIT provides courses, coaching, and educational content that encourage women to build lasting wellness routines and embrace aging with confidence.
