Blockpass and Vortex DeFi Enter Strategic Partnership

Blockpass is excited to announce Vortex DeFi, the one-stop simplified DeFi Asset management web-based application, as its latest partner. This new strategic partnership will see Blockpass’ unique KYC solution used to secure Vortexdefi’s platform and upcoming Initial Dex Offering. The two companies will work together to ensure that regulations are adhered to in the strongest possible manner to secure the space as they grow and expand.

Vortex DeFi is a web-based platform that works to realise any and all DeFi-related opportunities in one place. It is a one-stop gateway to manage your investments for protocols on Ethereum and Polka networks. The Vortex ecosystem will provide a suite of applications to enable activities such as NFT asset tracking, lending, insurance of crypto assets, borrowing, and easy (cross-chain) swapping from one crypto asset to another. Vortex DeFi will be launching an Initial Dex Offering on the DuckStarter platform on Sunday, 28th February 2021.

Blockpass is a digital identity verification provider which provides a one-click compliance gateway to financial services and other regulated industries. Through Blockpass, users can create, store, and manage a data-secure digital identity that can be used for an entire ecosystem of services, token purchases and access to regulated industries. For businesses and merchants, Blockpass is a comprehensive KYC & AML SaaS that requires no integration and no setup cost. You can set up a service in minutes, test the service for free and start verifying and on-boarding users.

“We’re delighted to have this new opportunity to work with the DeFi space,” said Adam Vaziri, Blockpass CEO. “The recent slew of announcements that we’ve been privileged to make proves how serious the crypto and blockchain communities are about creating a safe and compliant environment for businesses and users, and the team at Vortex DeFi have shown us how much our values coincide. We’re thoroughly looking forward to working with them.”

“The Vortex DeFi Team feel great to have Blockpass working with us to help us KYC all our public sale participants. We think they are the leader in this space and have tremendous experience to ensure Vortex lives up to the expectations of worldwide KYC and AML laws,” noted Rahul Singh, CEO of Vortex DeFi.

Blockpass has grown significantly in size and use since its inception, both in the number and range of users and organizations it has partnered with, and the scope of its work. Blockpass continues to develop its digital identity protocol with updates and additions to improve the compliance experience. The existential need for DeFi projects to be regulatory compliant and the recent integrations have led to a surge in interest for Blockpass’ On-chain KYC(TM) solution which promises to change the way blockchains enable compliance.

With a current 90%+ discount on its services, a fact made possible due to the unique reusable nature of its verification method, and put in place to help as many people as possible access KYC in the current pandemic, there has never been a better time to explore the potential of Blockpass. The Blockpass App is available from the App Store and Google Play. About Blockpass

Maculus Therapeutix welcomes Privity FZ LLE and Prepares Capital Raise for Novel Drug Delivery Platform

Maculus Therapeutix, a preclinical-stage biopharmaceutical company which has developed a SINGLE injection delivery platform for diseases such as wet AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration) and DME (Diabetic Macular Edema) instead of the standard 8-12 monthly injections, is pleased to welcome Privity FZ LLE as a partner and advisor for upcoming fundraising activities. Maculus plans to raise USD3 million with a USD8 million valuation for a 12-18 month period, including initial in-vivo animal studies and completion of in-vitro / in-vivo drug elution studies.

Maculus achieved the breakthrough using a patented novel tunable biodegradable proprietary product, MacuBloc, capable of delivering any FDA approved drugs for Wet AMD / DME to the site of the disease, with unique suitability for targeted and extended delivery of drugs to the back of the human eyes, MacuBloc offers significant benefits to Wet AMD patients: a single intravitreal injection that lasts a year rather than the current monthly injections, and a potential reduction in inflammation, infection, doctor visits and total cost of care, compared to current practice.

Syed H Askari, PhD, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and CTO of Maculus Therapeutix, said, “We are very excited to welcome Privity in developing this unique product, which can bring such transformative treatment to those suffering from wet AMD and DME. Our product is designed to solve each of the challenges while significantly reducing the total cost of care. More importantly, our product makes it possible to replace the 10 injections with ONE injection for any FDA approved drug, a leap ahead of the current standard of care.”

The approach will change the lives of 200 million patients worldwide who suffer from debilitating eye diseases. Current standards of care (8-12 monthly injections to the eyes for AMD and for DME) have numerous challenges: pain, inflammation, infection, loss of vision. Our product is designed to solve each of these challenges while significantly reducing the total cost of care. More importantly, our product makes it possible to replace the 10 injections by ONE injection for any FDA approved drug, a significant leap ahead of the current standard of care.
