Summary

This white paper provides an explanation of the WarRin protocol and related blockchain, point-to-point, network value, transport protocol, and encryption algorithms. The limited space will highlight the WRC allocation scheme and purpose of the WarRin Protocol Token, which is important for achieving the WRC’s stated objectives.  This white paper is for informational purposes only and is not a promise of final implementation details. Some details may change during the development and testing phases. 

1.  Introduction

Traditional centralized communication systems such as WeChat,WhatsApp, FacebookMessage,Google  Allo,Skype face a range of problems, including government surveillance, privacy breaches, and inadequate security, and the WarRin protocol proposes apoint-to-pointencrypted communications system that leveragesblockchain technology, combined  with Double Ratc het algorithms, pre-keys, and extended X3DH handshakes. The WarRin Protocol uses The Generalized Directional Acyclic Graph  and Curve25519,AES-256,  and HMAC-SHA256  as the pronamor, allowing each account to have its own unique account chain, providing unlimited instant communication between points and unlimited scalability, anonymity, integrity, consistency, and asynchronousness. 

2. WarRin Protocol communication system

2.1 Two types of communication

The Waring Protocol communication system divides chat channels into two types.

Image

Two modes of communication

  • General Chat mode: Using point-to-point encrypted communication, the service side has access to the key and can log in via multiple devices. 
  • Secret Chat mode: Encrypted communication using point-to-point can only be accessed through two specific devices. 

The design combines some of the advantages of raiBlocks    multi-chain construction with IOTA/Byteball  DAG, which we call the Waring protocol. With improvements, we have given the WarRin protocol greater throughput and faster processing power while ensuring the security of the ledger, and network nodes can store the ledger in less space and search their communications accounts quickly in the ledger.  When two users communicate, third parties contain content that neither manager can access. When a user is chatting in secret, the message contains multimedia that can be designated as a self-destruct message, and when the message is read by the user, the message is automatically destroyed within the specified time. Once the message expires, it disappears on the user’s device. 

2.2 How chat history is encrypted

2.2.1 MTProto  Transport Protocol

Image

MTProto transport protocol

The WarRin communication system draws on RaiBlocks’ multi-chain structure for point-to-point communication. Each account has its own chain that records the sending and receiving behavior of the account. For example, in Figure 1,   there are 7  accounts, each with 7 chain records of the account sending and receiving communications. On the graph, horizontal coordinates represent the timeline, and portrait coordinates represent the index of the account. 

Transferring information from one account to another requires two transactions: one to send a communication from the sender’s transfer content, and one to receive information to add that content to the content of the receiving account. Whether in a send-side account or a receiving account, a PoW proof of work with the previous communication content Hash is required to add new communications to the account.  In the account chain, poWwork proves to be an anti-spam communication tool that can be done in seconds. In a single account chain, the Hash field of the previous block is known to pre-generate the PoW required for subsequent blocks. Therefore, as long as the time between the two communications is greater than the time required to generate the PoW, the user’s transaction will be completed instantaneously. 

In such a design, only the receiving end of the communication is required for settlement. The receiving end places the received communication signature on the account chain, which is called accepted communication. Once accepted, the receiving end then broadcasts the communication to the ledger of the other nodes. However, there may be situations where the receiving end is not online or is subject to a DoS   attack, which prevents the receiving end from putting the receiving side communication on the account chain, which we call uncommoted transactions. The X symbol in Figure 1 represents an open transaction sent from Account 2 to Account 5.  

Image

Obviously, because only the sending and receiving sides of the communication are required to settle, such communication is very lightweight, all traffic can be transmitted in a UDP package and processed very quickly. At the same time, all communications in an account are kept in one chain, with great integrity, and the ledger can be trimmed to a minimum. Some nodes are not interested in spending resources to store the full communication history of the account;   They are only interested in the current communications for each account. When an account communicates, its accumulated information is encoded, and these nodes only need to keep track of the latest blocks so that historical data can be discarded while maintaining correctness. Such communication is only possible if the sending and receiving sides trust each other and are not the final settlement of the entire network consensus. There is a security risk in the absence of trust on the sending and receiving ends, or in situations where the receiving end is attacked by DoS without the sender’s knowledge. 

We have observed that although each account has a separate chain, the entire ledger can be expressed in the form of a WarRin object. As shown in Figure 2, this is represented by the WarRin astros trading on all accounts in Figure 1.  

Image

The first unit in the WarRin object is the Genesis unit, the next six cells represent the allocation of the initial token, and the other units correspond to the communication transactions between the account chains. We use the symbol a/b to represent a communication transaction, where the sender is a andthe recipient is b. The last  4/1 unit in Figure 2 is the last communication corresponding to Figure 1  – sending communication from account 4 to account 1. A transaction in Figure 1 is a confirmation of the latest block or the latest communication on the account chains of both parties to the communication, reflected in Figure 2 as a reference to the latest units of the account chains of both parties to the communication. Take unit 4/1, for example, where the latest  block on account 4 was the receiving block for 2/4  trades and the newest block on  account 1 was the send block for 1/5 trade. So on the DAG, the 4/1 cell refers to the 2/4 cell and the 1/5 cell. 

The WarRin protocol uses triangular shrapned storage technology to crack impossible triangles in the blockchain through the shrapghine technology, with extensive node engagement and decontalination  while maintaining high throughput and security:

  • Complete shraping of blockchain status;
  • Secure and low-cost cross-synth trading;
  • Completely random witness selection;
  • Flexible and efficient configuration

Complete decentralization ensures absolute security and scalability of the standard chain.

(Figures   above show seven Ling-shaped objects:2/1 one;3/2  one… )

2.2.2 Curve25519 Elliptic Curve Encryption Algorithm

Curve25519,  proposed by Daniel Bernstein, is anelliptic  curve algorithm for the exchange of The Montgomery Curve’s Difi Herman keys. 

Montgomery Curve Curve Mathematical Expression: 图片图片

Curve25519 Curve Mathematical Expression:图片

Curve25519  encryption     algorithms are    图片 used for standard private and public keys, and the private keys used for Curve25519  图片 encryption algorithms are typically defined as secret 图片 indices, corresponding to 图片public  keys, coordinate points, which are usually sufficient to perform ECDH (elliptical) and symmetrical  elliptic curve encryption algorithms. If one party wants to send information to the other party and the other party has the 图片 public 图片and private keys, perform the following 图片calculation:

Generate a one-time random secret 图片图片   图片 index, calculated using Montgomery, because the message is a symmetrical password encrypted using 256-bit  sharing, such as AES  using a 256-bit integer 图片 one-time public key,  as akey, and 256-bit integer is a 图片prefix to encrypted information. Once a party to   图片图片图片the public 图片key receives this message, it can start by calculating , that is ,图片the receiver recovers the shared secret and 图片is able to decrypt the rest of the information. 

3. Incentives

On the basis of the WarRin agreement, by adding the incentive layer, we can effectively avoid the whole network being attacked and eliminate spam. As long as honest nodes control most of the calculations, for an attacker, the network is robust because of its simplicity of structure, and nodes need little coordination to work at the same time. They do not need to be authenticated because information is not sent to a location. 

3.1 WRC Certificate

WRC issued a total of 2,500,000 pieces and continued to increment according to the WoRin gain function. 

3.1.1 WoRin Gain Function

4. The use

WRC is the native pass-through of the WarRin protocol, andWRC will assign to Genesis nodes according to the above allocation scheme, which together form the entire network, andWRC can be used in the following scenarios, including but not limited to:

Pay the network’s gas charges, i.e. for transferring money and invoking smart contracts;

System Staking tokens, used for node elections and token issues;

The capital is lent to the validator in exchange for the amount of the reward;

Voting rights for system proposals;

The means of payment for apps developed  on WoRin Services;

WoRin Storage is a means of payment on the decentralization storage;

WoRin DNS domain name and WoRin  WWW website means of payment;

WoRin Proxy agents hide the means of payment for body and IP addresses;

WoRin Proxy penetrates payment methods reviewed by local ISPs

……

5. Conclusions

Metcalfe’s Law states that thevalue of a network is equal to the square of the number of nodes within the network, and that the value of the network is directly related to the square of the number of connected users. That is 图片( the 图片value factor, the number of 图片users.)  That is, the greater the number of users on a network, the greater the value of the entire network and each computer within that network. The WarRin protocol also follows this law, and when the number of nodes reaches a certain level, the entire network becomes more robust.

Press Release

Quoin Pharmaceuticals Announces FDA Fast Track Designation for QRX003 for the Treatment of Peeling Skin Syndrome

Published

on

Ashburn, Virginia, September 22nd, 2026, FinanceWire

 First-Ever Fast Track Designation Granted for a Peeling Skin Syndrome Therapy

– Second Fast Track Designation Granted to QRX003, in Addition to Netherton Syndrome

– Fast Track Designation Facilitates Development and Expedites Regulatory Review of Therapies Addressing Serious Conditions with Significant Unmet Medical Need

– Follows July 2026 FDA Clearance of the First-Ever IND Submitted for Peeling Skin Syndrome

– Phase 2/3 Study Expected to Initiate in 2H 2026, Enrolling up to 12 Pediatric and Adult Patients in the U.S. and Europe

– Peeling Skin Syndrome Currently Has No Approved Treatment

Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNRX) (“Quoin” or the “Company”), a late clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on rare and orphan diseases, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation to QRX003 for the treatment of Peeling Skin Syndrome (PSS). QRX003 is an investigational topical serine protease inhibitor lotion. Peeling Skin Syndrome is a rare genetic skin disease for which there is currently no approved treatment.

Key Facts

  • Fast Track Designation applies to QRX003 for the treatment of Peeling Skin Syndrome.
  • This is the first ever Fast Track Designation granted for a Peeling Skin Syndrome therapy.
  • Peeling Skin Syndrome is the second indication for which QRX003 has received Fast Track Designation. The FDA granted Fast Track Designation to QRX003 lotion (4%) for the treatment of Netherton Syndrome on March 11, 2026.
  • The designation follows FDA clearance in July 2026 of Quoin’s Investigational New Drug (IND) application for QRX003 in Peeling Skin Syndrome. Quoin submitted that IND on June 2, 2026, and it was the first IND ever submitted to the FDA for the disease.
  • Quoin expects to initiate a Phase 2/3 clinical study of QRX003 in Peeling Skin Syndrome in the second half of 2026.
  • The IND submission was supported by clinical observations from an ongoing investigator-led pediatric study in a single subject. Significant improvements in skin appearance along with positive changes in pruritus and a number of quality-of-life measures have been recorded. Treatment is ongoing and has continued for more than 15 months, with no adverse events reported.
  • There is currently no approved treatment for Peeling Skin Syndrome.

“This is an important regulatory milestone for QRX003 and for a community that today has no approved treatment,” said Dr. Michael Myers, CEO and Co-Founder of Quoin Pharmaceuticals. “Quoin submitted the first IND ever filed with the FDA for Peeling Skin Syndrome, that IND was cleared in July, and QRX003 has now been granted Fast Track Designation for the disease. We expect to initiate our Phase 2/3 study in the second half of 2026, and we believe Fast Track status will allow us to work closely with the agency as we advance the first company-sponsored clinical study in this disease.”

Peeling Skin Syndrome Development Program

The planned Phase 2/3 study is expected to enroll up to 12 pediatric and adult patients with Peeling Skin Syndrome in the United States and Europe. In the study, QRX003 will be applied twice-daily to greater than 80% of patients’ body surface area (BSA) over a 48-week period, with an interim data review at 24 weeks. Quoin is targeting approval of QRX003 as a potential treatment for Peeling Skin Syndrome in 2028.

The IND submission was supported by clinical observations from an ongoing investigator-led pediatric study. The subject has achieved improvements across key objective severity endpoints, including the Modified Ichthyosis Area Severity Index (M-IASI), Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) as well as pruritus and a pediatric dermatology-specific quality-of-life measure (CDLQI). Treatment is ongoing, and after continued dosing with QRX003 for over 15 months, no adverse events have been reported.

About Fast Track Designation

The FDA’s Fast Track program is designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs that treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. A therapy granted Fast Track Designation may benefit from more frequent interactions with the FDA, eligibility for rolling review of regulatory submissions, and potential qualification for Accelerated Approval and Priority Review, if relevant criteria are met.

About Peeling Skin Syndrome (PSS)

Generalized inflammatory peeling skin syndrome (PSS) is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis caused by loss-of-function disease-causing variants of the corneodesmosin gene (CDSN), resulting in excessive shedding of the superficial layers of the epidermis. Patients generally suffer from a variety of conditions including severe pain and chronic pruritus (itch). There is currently no approved treatment for PSS.

About QRX003

QRX003 is an investigational topical serine protease inhibitor lotion in late-stage development for Netherton Syndrome and other orphan skin diseases. QRX003 has been granted Orphan Drug, Rare Pediatric Disease, and Fast Track designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and Orphan Drug Designation in the European Union and Japan for Netherton Syndrome. QRX003 has also been granted Rare Pediatric Disease and Fast Track Designation by the FDA for Peeling Skin Syndrome. QRX003 lotion (4%) is currently being evaluated in Phase 2/3 whole-body clinical trials in patients with Netherton Syndrome. Quoin expects to initiate a Phase 2/3 clinical study of QRX003 in Peeling Skin Syndrome in the second half of 2026.

Press Release

Why Starting Work at 14 Prepared William Stapleton to Sell a Company for $300 Million

Published

on

  • William Stapleton, President and CEO of Iron Rock Payments in Frisco, Texas, shares how early work shaped his path from private banking to entrepreneurship.

How did working from age 14 influence your career?

Texas, USA, Sep 22, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — “I have worked since I was 14 years old to support myself and used this work ethic into college,” Stapleton says. He grew up in a working-class household in Long Beach, California. His mother is from Ecuador and his father is of German and Polish descent. Starting work young built financial responsibility and shaped his approach to business.

He played varsity baseball and water polo while working through high school. He graduated with honors from Long Beach Wilson Classical High School near the top of his class. In college, he took an unpaid internship at Salomon Brothers while balancing his studies. “I graduated college with full honors, top of my class academically,” he says. He earned a double major in Rhetorical Theory and Global Economics from California State University, Long Beach in 2006.

What did you learn in private banking that helped you as an entrepreneur?

After graduation, Morgan Stanley Private Bank recruited Stapleton to work in New York. He later joined JPMorgan Chase, where he contributed to building what is now known as the Chase Private Client program. He spent approximately seven years in private banking and advisory roles.

Working with high-net-worth clients taught him how to manage relationships, assess risk, and structure solutions. Those skills transferred directly to running a business. Understanding client needs and delivering value became the foundation of his entrepreneurial approach.

How did you transition from banking to payments?

Stapleton founded PayFacto, a credit card processing company based in Montreal. He built the company from the ground up and grew it until Visa acquired it in 2019. The sale carried an estimated valuation of $300 million.

He did not wait long to start again. In 2012, he founded Iron Rock Payments, a credit card processing company based in Frisco, Texas. The company has been recognized as an Inc. 5000 company and employs 15 people. Stapleton serves as President and CEO.

What do businesses get wrong about payment processing?

Many businesses treat payment processing as a commodity. They focus only on rates and miss the bigger picture. The right processor can improve cash flow, reduce chargebacks, and provide data that drives decisions.

Stapleton emphasizes that service matters as much as price. Businesses need a partner who understands their industry and responds quickly when issues arise. A few basis points saved on fees mean nothing if downtime costs thousands in lost sales.

What lessons from your first exit did you apply to Iron Rock Payments?

Selling PayFacto taught Stapleton the importance of building systems that scale. He learned to hire people who are better than him in specific areas and to trust them. He also realized that culture drives retention and retention drives growth.

At Iron Rock Payments, he focused on creating processes that work whether the company has 5 employees or 50. He invests in technology that automates repetitive tasks so his team can focus on client relationships. He also prioritizes transparency with clients and employees.

What advice do you give to people thinking about starting a business?

Start before you feel ready. Waiting for the perfect moment means you will never start. Stapleton began working at 14 and took an unpaid internship in college because he wanted experience more than money.

He also advises entrepreneurs to stay close to their customers. The best product ideas come from listening to what clients actually need, not from guessing. Finally, he says to protect your reputation. Trust takes years to build and seconds to destroy.

If you do nothing else

  1. Start working as early as you can to build a strong work ethic and financial discipline.

  2. Take internships or entry-level roles that teach you skills, even if the pay is low or nonexistent.

  3. Spend time in an industry before you try to disrupt it so you understand how it really works.

  4. Build systems and processes that can scale as your business grows.

  5. Hire people who are stronger than you in areas where you are weak and trust them to do their jobs.

  6. Listen to your clients and let their needs guide your product and service decisions.

  7. Protect your reputation by delivering on promises and treating people with respect.

Share this Q&A with someone who is thinking about making the leap from employee to entrepreneur or who wants to understand how early work experience shapes long-term success.

About William Stapleton

William Stapleton is President and CEO of Iron Rock Payments, a credit card processing company based in Frisco, Texas. He founded the company in 2012 after selling his previous venture, PayFacto, to Visa in 2019 at an estimated valuation of $300 million. Before entering entrepreneurship, he worked in private banking at Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase, where he contributed to creating the Chase Private Client program.

Press Release

David Wayne Fish makes a personal pledge: one season, one sport, no missed games

Published

on

California, USA, Sep 22, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — David Wayne Fish is putting a specific commitment on the record. With six kids moving through baseball, football, and tennis across overlapping seasons, he says the easiest thing to let slip is presence. So he is naming the standard out loud.

“If one of my kids has a game or a practice, someone from this family is there,” Fish says. “That’s the whole pledge. It sounds simple because it should be simple. The hard part is building a life where you can actually keep it.”

Fish runs healthcare and wellness companies as a consultant and CEO, work that does not pause for a Tuesday scrimmage. He is not pretending otherwise. The pledge is not about having endless free time. It is about deciding in advance what wins when a calendar conflict shows up.

Why he is saying it publicly

Fish has coached football, baseball, and helped organize tennis for years. He says most parents do not fail their kids through some dramatic absence. They fail them through a hundred small ones that never get flagged as decisions at all.

“Nobody skips a game and thinks of it as a broken promise,” he says. “It just looks like a scheduling problem. I wanted to write my own rule down so it stops being negotiable case by case.”

He credits his own father, and the model of family life he grew up with in Michigan, for the instinct behind this. Fish says he was raised around the idea that a father’s job includes showing up, not just providing.

What the commitment actually covers

The pledge Fish is making has a few concrete parts:

Every game gets a family face in the stands. Not every game gets David personally, with six kids and overlapping seasons that is not realistic, but every game gets someone: him, his wife, or another family member who can stand in.

Coaching commitments get finished, not started. Fish says he does not sign up to coach a season and then quietly hand it off when work gets busy. If he takes a team, he finishes the season.

Conflicts get resolved before the week starts, not during it. Fish says he sits down weekly and maps which kid has what, so trade-offs get made on a Sunday with a clear head instead of on a Wednesday in a parking lot.

“I’d rather lose an hour on Sunday mapping the week than lose a moment at my kid’s game because I’m distracted by something I should have planned around,” he says.

What he is asking of himself, not other parents

Fish is careful to frame this as his own standard, not a lecture. He is not telling other families how to run their weeks.

“I’m not in a position to tell another parent what their life allows,” he says. “I know what mine allows, and I know where I’ve cut corners before without meaning to. This is me closing that gap for myself.”

He says the pledge will get tested immediately, since his kids’ seasons rarely line up cleanly. Two games at the same hour, in two different towns, is not a hypothetical for his family. It happens.

“When that comes up, the answer isn’t ‘we’ll figure it out.’ The answer is already written down: someone from this family goes to each one,” Fish says. “I’d rather have made that call in October than try to make it in the car in March.”

Holding himself to it

Fish says he plans to track the pledge the same plain way he tracks anything else he takes seriously: a simple log of games, and who from the family was there. No app, no public scoreboard, just a habit he intends to keep himself honest about.

“If I say I’m going to do something for my kids, I want a way to check whether I actually did it,” he says. “That’s the only accountability that’s ever mattered to me.”
