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!

Said Abulafia on What a Bakery Founded in 1879 Can Teach Modern Businesses

Published

on

Tel Aviv–Jaffa business leader Said Abulafia shares lessons from a historic Arab family-owned bakery that has served customers for nearly 150 years.

Tel Aviv–jaffa, Israel, 22nd July 2026, ZEX PR WIRE Most businesses do not make it to ten years. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 34.7% of private-sector establishments born in 2013 were still operating in 2023. Family businesses face another challenge: only about 30% transition to the second generation, and roughly 12% remain viable into the third.

That makes Abulafia Bakery’s history unusual. Founded in Jaffa in 1879, the historic Arab family-owned bakery has operated for nearly 150 years through political change, economic pressure, shifting customer habits, and several generations of family leadership.

Said Abulafia believes the bakery’s long history offers practical lessons for modern businesses trying to survive.

“When people hear that the bakery started in 1879, they think about history,” says Abulafia. “I think about responsibility. Every generation had to make decisions that kept the business alive. That is the real lesson.”

Longevity Starts With Trust

For Abulafia, the bakery’s staying power begins with customer trust. Customers return because they know what to expect. They recognize the product, the place, and the experience.

Modern businesses often focus on attention. Abulafia believes trust matters more.

“A customer who comes once is important,” he says. “A customer who comes back with their children or grandchildren tells you something much deeper. It means the business became part of their routine.”

That kind of loyalty is not built by a single strong campaign. It is built through years of consistency.

Consistency Is Not Old-Fashioned

In a fast-moving business environment, consistency can sound plain. Abulafia sees it differently.

For a bakery, consistency is operational. Ingredients must be reliable. Production has to stay controlled. Service has to feel familiar. Small changes are noticed quickly.

“If something changes in the product, regular customers know,” he says. “They may not explain it in technical terms, but they feel it. That is why consistency is not just a nice idea. It is part of the business model.”

Adaptation Without Losing Identity

Abulafia says one of the biggest challenges for heritage businesses is knowing what to change and what to protect.

A business founded in 1879 cannot operate exactly as it did in earlier generations. Costs change. Customer behavior changes. Competition changes. Operations must improve.

At the same time, moving too far from the core identity can weaken what has kept the business going.

“You have to modernize carefully,” says Abulafia. “If you change everything, you lose the reason people trusted you. If you change nothing, you fall behind. The work is finding the line between the two.”

What Modern Businesses Can Learn

Abulafia believes the bakery’s history offers several lessons that extend beyond hospitality.

First, businesses need a clear core. They should understand what customers return for and protect it.

Second, growth should not come before stability. A weak system becomes harder to manage as it expands.

Third, businesses should listen to repeat customers. Long-term customers often notice operational problems before leadership does.

“People talk a lot about innovation,” he says. “But sometimes the best information comes from a customer who has been coming to you for 20 years and notices when something feels different.”

Pressure Reveals Weakness

The bakery has faced many periods of uncertainty, including the COVID-19 pandemic, supply disruptions, rising costs, and fluctuating demand. Abulafia says those periods forced the business to simplify and strengthen its systems.

“When conditions are easy, you can ignore problems,” he says. “When pressure comes, every weakness becomes visible. That is when you either fix the system or keep repeating the same mistakes.”

For Abulafia, pressure is not only a challenge. It is a test of how well a business is built.

A Call to Study Businesses That Last

Abulafia encourages entrepreneurs, operators, and family business owners to study long-running businesses, not only fast-growing ones.

Many modern business stories focus on rapid scale. Abulafia believes there is equal value in studying enduring companies.

“A business that lasts for generations has already answered questions many newer businesses are still trying to solve,” he says. “How do you keep trust? How do you adapt? How do you stay useful to people over time?”

Call to Action

Abulafia encourages business owners to take practical steps:

  • Identify what customers truly return for

  • Protect the parts of the business that create trust

  • Make changes gradually and measure the impact

  • Listen closely to long-term customers

  • Build operations that can survive difficult periods

“Longevity is not one big decision,” he says. “It is many small decisions made well over time.”

About Said Abulafia

Press Release

Knot Expands into Canada, Partnering with RBC, the Country’s Largest Bank

Published

on

New York City, NY, USA, July 22nd, 2026, FinanceWire

Knot, the leading merchant connectivity platform, has announced its partnership with RBC, Canada’s largest bank, to make RBC cards the default payment method for millions of cardholders wherever they spend. Using Knot’s CardSwitcher, RBC cardholders can set their RBC card as the saved payment method at their favorite merchants directly from the RBC mobile app, without manually entering card details. The partnership marks Knot’s first expansion beyond the United States.

Keeping RBC Top of Wallet

One of the hardest moments in payments is the first one. When a cardholder gets a new RBC card, putting it to use means hunting down every merchant where a card is already saved and updating each one by hand, so a new card often sits idle for weeks before it sees real spend. The partnership removes that friction. From the RBC app, cardholders add their RBC card to their preferred merchants in a few taps and set it as the saved payment method at the places they already spend, from the day the card is in hand.

For RBC, that means a card that goes to work immediately instead of waiting to be activated across a cardholder’s everyday spend. Placing the card as the default at the merchants cardholders use most keeps it top of wallet, turning a new RBC card from an occasional choice into a go-to payment method from the start and driving repeat spend and deeper loyalty to RBC.

Expanding into Canada with the Country’s Largest Bank

For years, Knot has built the merchant connectivity layer across the United States, linking the people, financial institutions, and merchants behind everyday spend. RBC is where that infrastructure goes international for the first time. Canada is Knot’s first market beyond the U.S., and launching it with the country’s largest bank sets the standard for every market that follows.

RBC did not become Canada’s largest bank by standing still. They move early, they invest in their clients, and they push the industry forward. That is exactly the kind of partner Knot wants to build alongside, and the reason RBC is the right first step into a new market. Bringing CardSwitcher to Canadian cardholders is the start of a longer roadmap, both for what Knot and RBC build together and for where Knot goes next.

About RBC

Royal Bank of Canada is a global financial institution with a purpose-driven, principles-led approach to delivering leading performance. Its success comes from the 101,000+ employees who leverage their imaginations and insights to bring the company’s vision, values, and strategy to life so it can help its clients thrive and communities prosper.
