Bitcoin, the world’s most trusted and decentralized cryptocurrency, now offers decentralized finance (“DeFi”) with the launch of RichSwap. Created by Omnity Network, RichSwap is designed to make Bitcoin trading faster, secure and easier for everyone.

What is RichSwap?

RichSwap is the first-ever platform ordering trades on Bitcoin directly without relying on bridges, custodians or off-chain software. This means that every order is secure, transparent and controlled entirely by the user.

For Bitcoiners this marks a significant leap forward. You no longer need to send your assets to a platform or worry about unverifiable risks. With RichSwap, everything happens directly on the blockchain and in your wallet.

How Does RichSwap Work?

Behind the scenes, RichSwap operates on a new toolkit called the Runes Exchange Environment (“REE”), also developed by Omnity Network. While the technical details are complex, here’s what you need to know:

• No Middlemen: build BTC orders fast, signed and verifiable with blockchain accounting
• Total Control: keep custody of your assets at all times, no need to deposit or withdraw
• Fast Transactions: up to 100x faster than traditional Bitcoin transactions

Why Does This Matter?

Until now, Bitcoin’s design has made it difficult to use in DeFi like lending or staking. RichSwap changes that by making orders easy and secure without third-party risk. Developers can now build tools and apps for any use case, enabling borrowing, lending, staking and more directly on the world’s most trusted blockchain.

A Tool for Developers and Innovators

RichSwap is more than just a trading platform; it’s an open-source blueprint for developers. Developers can use the same code on REE to share liquidity pools, copy/paste templates, and experiment with DeFi, all on Bitcoin. A public testnet for experimentation will be available late this month.

What’s Next?

This week Omnity also supported the launch of Odin Fun and Blockminer Fun with their tech, yielding two more candidates for REE DeFi tooling. Over 2000 tokens launched in 1 week and 50 succeeded through a bonded curve fundraise on Odin. More RichSwap-compatible projects are created daily, and they all utilize Omnity tech without knowing it. With $11m volume and $2.5m total value locked (“TVL”) Omnity’s stats look promising as they reach the one year anniversary. Their multichain bridge links Bitcoin to Solana, Ethereum, Doge, Osmosis, and 15+ other flagship blockchains.

Omnity Network’s vision goes beyond RichSwap. With the launch of the Runes Exchange Environment, they aim to redefine how Bitcoin is used, making it a cornerstone of Bitcoin DeFi. Multichain bridge development will continue alongside the development of REE.

• Better Resource Allocation: AI-driven insights help providers allocate resources where they are needed most, improving operational efficiency.

Healthcare systems that fail to adapt risk being left behind as government and private payers continue shifting toward value-based care models. But all of this requires an increased and efficient handle on data, providing more effective patient care and comprehensive cost control.

Adageis, a forward-thinking healthcare technology company reshaping patient care through flexible AI-centric software solutions for healthcare organizations, is helping providers streamline their transition to value-based care. Through its ProActive Care Platform, Adageis enables healthcare organizations to optimize patient care while maximizing financial performance (https://ibn.fm/Y5C6O).

Adageis’ solutions integrate directly with existing electronic health record (“EHR”) systems, ensuring a seamless transition without disrupting workflows. Its key features include:

• AI-Driven Risk Analysis: Identifies high-risk patients, allowing providers to intervene earlier and prevent costly hospitalizations.
• Value-Based Care Engine: Helps organizations meet value-based care metrics, unlocking new revenue opportunities.
• Proactive Efficiency Monitoring: Tracks patient health trends and alerts providers to potential issues before they escalate.
• Flexible Integration: Compatible with leading EHR systems such as AthenaHealth, Cerner and Epic.

By leveraging advanced analytics and machine learning, Adageis enables providers to shift from reactive to proactive care—essential for success in a value-based care environment.

Additionally, one of the biggest challenges in value-based care is accurately measuring and improving patient outcomes. Adageis addresses this by offering real-time data insights that help providers identify gaps in care and address them proactively, track patient engagement and adherence to treatment plans, predict health trends to optimize resource allocation, and benchmark performance against value-based care reimbursement models.

As the healthcare industry continues its shift toward value-based care, the organizations that embrace technology-driven solutions will have a competitive edge. AI-powered tools, like those developed by Adageis, will play a central role in improving care quality, enhancing efficiency and driving financial growth.

• The transaction value for the unique project, completed last year, included the sale and contracting agreement between Honeywell International and SolarBank, amounting to approximately $41 million.
• The 21MW DC ground-mount solar power projects, known as SB 13-1, SB 13-2 and SB-14, are located in upstate New York.
• The projects are expected to operate as community solar sites and be eligible to participate in the NYSUN program to receive NYSERDA incentives.

Disseminated on behalf of SolarBank Corporation

SolarBank (NASDAQ: SUUN) (CSE: SUNN) (NEO: SUNN) (FSE: GY2), a premier developer and owner of renewable and clean energy projects, specializing in distributed and community solar initiatives throughout Canada and the U.S., contracted for development of three solar power projects for Honeywell International in 2023 (https://ibn.fm/Ton0x).

The 21MW DC ground-mount solar power projects, known as SB 13-1, SB 13-2 and SB-14, are located in upstate New York. Developed as three separate 7 MW DC solar power projects, they have received positive interconnection results via a completed Coordinated Electric System Interconnection Review (“CESIR”). SolarBank is continuing to build the projects to commercial operation via an engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) agreement with Honeywell. The transaction, including the sale of the projects and the EPC agreement, amounted to approximately $41 million.

Supporting this major project is Honeywell’s own innovative remediation and redevelopment group, a team that collaborates with public and private entities to execute meaningful projects at industrial sites around the world. The group has completed several green remediation projects that include solar arrays (collections of solar panels) to minimize the impact to the electrical grid, minimize greenhouse gas emissions and support long-term treatment systems. This include these 21 MW DC SolarBank projects being developed for Honeywell on a landfill (https://ibn.fm/hMBzy).

Adding renewable energy capabilities to remediation sites is an example of what the EPA defines as green remediation: incorporating options to maximize the environmental benefits of cleanup actions. 

SolarBank and Honeywell have a funding agreement in place under which Honeywell has provided funding for deposits/advance payments for the advancement of the projects. The advances, totaling approximately $2.668 million, were offset against the $41 million transaction.

The three projects are also expected to be eligible for incentives under the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (“NYSERDA”) NY-Sun Program. Upon completion, the projects will be operated as community solar sites that will generate and feed clean energy into the local power grid. Depending on the size and number of panels the project has, dozens or even hundreds of renters and homeowners will be able to save money from the electricity that is generated by the project. By subscribing to a project, a homeowner earns credits on their electric bill every month from their portion of the solar that’s generated by the project, accessing the benefits of solar without installing panels on their home.

SolarBank expects that it will retain an operations and maintenance contract for the projects following the completion of construction, as confirmation of the close relationship and collaboration it has with Honeywell.

“The relationship between Honeywell and SolarBank continues to grow and these projects represent the largest to date constructed by the company for Honeywell,” SolarBank CEO Dr. Richard Lu commented at the time of the project sale. “We look forward to partnering and supporting the transition away from fossil fuels while reducing impacts to the electrical grid and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.”

“Thumzup is deeply saddened by the devastation these wildfires have brought to our community,” noted Robert Steele, Thumzup’s CEO.

“Small businesses and residents are the heart of Los Angeles, and we hope this initiative provides a tangible way to help businesses rebuild while also putting cash into the hands of the people who support them,” he added (https://ibn.fm/0FeLB).

Both existing Thumzup customers and those new to the platform can apply to receive the credits. Eligible businesses can receive up to $200 in credits per location, deposited directly into their Thumzup account. With the credits, they can pay customers cash for posts on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), providing immediate support to drive awareness and rebuild their operations.

“At Thumzup, we are committed to leveraging our platform to make a difference in times of need, and we will be dedicating additional resources to further aid recovery efforts,” noted Mr. Steele (https://ibn.fm/0FeLB).
