Pedram Shahid, CEO and Co-Founder of CADAICO, explores intersection between CAD and such frontline technologies as AI and blockchain. Shahid: Only about 25% of an engineer's design work leverages their creativity. By automating routine tasks, AI enables engineers to dedicate more time to complex problem-solving tasks.

Zero-knowledge proofs (ZK Proofs) are revolutionizing the way we think about privacy and verifiability in digital interactions. These proofs allow one party to prove to another that they know a value x, without conveying any information apart from the fact that they know the value x.

Solana competes with BNB for the fourth place in the crypto world. Has the coin left all the problems behind?

Solidity nested mappings are versatile data structures that allow developers to organize and manage complex data within Ethereum smart contracts. Nested mappings facilitate efficient data retrieval and manipulation by associating multiple keys with corresponding values. They enable hierarchical data organization, empowering developers to create dynamic and structured storage solutions tailored to decentralized application (dApp) requirements.

The role of blockchain technology in Augmented Reality (AR) is sure to be significant, if user privacy is to be considered. If not, users will hand over their most intimate details to large multinational corporations the likes of which the world has never seen.  

Deloitte Tohmatsu Group leverages Astar zkEVM blockchain to introduce a baseball-themed NFT game, enhancing sports engagement and innovating service development. This initiative marks a significant shift towards integrating blockchain and NFT technologies in the sports industry, promising improved transaction efficiency and novel fan experiences.

Global interest in CBDCs is surging, promising a shift from the traditional system to asset tokenization. Private solutions, used for CBDC implementation, offer privacy control, centralized oversight, and high programmability with no transaction fees. Unlike public networks, private solutions operate 24/7 without third-party verification delays. Limited to selected members, private networks provide faster consensus. CBDCs optimize asset tokenization, enhance security, and enable efficient, secure...

DVT spreads out the tasks and risks related to the validation process in Ethereum's PoS system. It works by dividing and sharing a validator's key responsibilities among several entities, decreasing the chances of centralized control and eliminating single points of failure.
