• Recent Lightning Network statistics show over 17,000 active nodes with more than 87,000 payment channels facilitating a capacity of over 4,500 BTC worldwide
• LQwD is currently leveraging the Lightning Network with nodes active in the United States, Ireland, India, Germany, Brazil, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sweden, South Korea, South Africa, Bahrain, Indonesia, Italy, Australia, Japan-Osaka, England, Japan, France, and Canada
• LQwD anticipates increasing node coverage to 24 countries by the end of the current quarter

The Lightning Network is a Layer 2 protocol designed to help scale Bitcoin’s base layer. It comprises nodes consisting of payment channels that help facilitate affordable, fast, and more secure payments. As awareness increases, so does the growth of the Lightning Network, with recent statistics showing over 17,000 nodes that exceed 87,000 channels that support a capacity of over 4,500 BTC worldwide (https://ibn.fm/o5Mc4). Nodes in the United States make up more than half of the current capacity with 2,300 BTC currently locked in the Lightning Network, followed by Germany with 355 BTC and Canada with 151 BTC. LQwD FinTech (TSX.V: LQWD) (OTCQB: LQWDF), a financial technology company focused on creating enterprise-grade infrastructure to drive bitcoin adoption, is leveraging the Lightning Network in pursuit of expanding the capabilities of bitcoin, with 19 active worldwide nodes on the Lightning Network. The company released its first node, US-West, in November 2021, and the node has since grown to a capacity of over 6 BTC and more than 100 active channels. Other LQwD nodes on the Lightning Network include Ireland, India, Germany, Brazil, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sweden, South Korea, South Africa, Bahrain, Indonesia, Italy, Australia, Japan-Osaka, England, Japan, France, and Canada. The company anticipates expanding its worldwide coverage to include a total of 24 countries by the end of the current quarter. Several countries worldwide have used the Lightning Network to their advantage, opening up payment opportunities that would not have existed otherwise. Last year, El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as a legal tender, using the Lightning Network’s capability to process millions of transactions to facilitate the purchase of everyday goods. The June 2022 Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland’s paper “Lightning Network: Turning Bitcoin Into Money” describes El Salvador’s bitcoin adoption as a cornerstone moment for the technology and network use by top-named companies, including merchant transactions. (https://ibn.fm/6I7vS). Other countries are making Bitcoin payment more accessible, adding payment options in the cryptocurrency to everyday transactions – like getting a cup of coffee – as described by Paco de la India, who committed to traveling 40 countries on a personal bitcoin standard. His travels are documented on YouTube and Twitter, where he talks about his journeys. “Kenya was one place where I bought a book for bitcoin, got a massage for bitcoin, got food with bitcoin, paid for my guide with bitcoin, and found a pool table, a game of pool that you could play with bitcoin,” de la India explains, adding that he was also able to buy a cup of coffee with Bitcoin in Singapore (https://ibn.fm/foNIk). Kenya and Singapore are not the only countries openly accepting Bitcoin – Guatemala, Costa Rica, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa have all recognized the benefits of accepting Lightning Network payments to better the economic standing of their respective countries. As nodes are formed, and channel numbers grow, more countries worldwide are becoming a part of the payment network. According to Markets and Markets, the cryptocurrency market size reached US $1.6 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% through 2026, resulting in a value of US $2.2 billion (https://ibn.fm/3QewN). Transparency, digital ledger technology, and growth opportunities in emerging and developed markets are driving the industry’s growth, bringing new opportunities to the landscape, especially where micropayments are concerned. As a public company, LQwD aims to leverage its position within the industry to enhance the micropayment experience.

• Recent report notes a significant increase in cyber incidents
• CISO is dedicated to “pulling disparate technologies, teams and vendors together to help clients simplify and accelerate their journey to cyber resilience”
• Cerberus Sentinel works closely with clients to integrate compliance and security into an organization-wide culture of cybersecurity

Considering what the government calls “a growing threat to the nation’s power grid,” the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) will provide $45 million in funding to support next-generation cybersecurity research, development and demonstration projects (https://ibn.fm/GiiZZ). That’s good news for companies, including Cerberus Cyber Sentinel (NASDAQ: CISO), who excel in the space, providing essential protection to core U.S. energy infrastructure. “The North American Electric Reliability Corp. in July said that reports of cyber incidents — including vulnerabilities, phishing, malware, denial of service and others — ‘increased significantly’ in 2021,” reported a recent Cybersecurity Dive article (https://ibn.fm/KcVhb). “While reliability was maintained, the organization warned that nation-state adversaries and organized cyber criminals have the ability to disrupt critical infrastructure.” With that in mind, the DOE announced $45 million to “create, accelerate, and test technology that will protect our electric grid from cyber-attacks to seamlessly help deploy clean and cheap energy to Americans,” the statement read. “Cyber threats to American energy systems can shut down critical energy infrastructure and disrupt energy supply, the economy, and the health of American consumers.” The DOE statement continued: “Combined with the additional grid upgrades funded in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, the United States will have an opportunity to build greater cyber defenses into our energy sector. Today’s funding will support up to 15 research, development, and demonstration (“RD&D”) projects that will focus on developing new cybersecurity tools and technologies designed to reduce cyber risks for energy delivery infrastructure.” An industry leader in cybersecurity and compliance services — the company was named in a TechRounds list of top-10 cybersecurity companies (https://ibn.fm/3lqQa) — Cerberus Sentinel has established a reputation for its integrated approach to reduce noise and bridge common silos that often limit the effectiveness of cybersecurity programs. The company is dedicated to “pulling disparate technologies, teams and vendors together to help its clients enjoy a simpler and more successful journey to cyber resilience. Since 2019, Cerberus Sentinel has worked to rapidly expand by acquiring world-class cybersecurity and compliance businesses with top-tier talent who utilize the latest technology to create innovative protection solutions.” A firm believer that cybersecurity is a culture rather than a product, Cerberus Sentinel works closely with its clients to integrate compliance and security into an organization-wide culture of cybersecurity.

• Cross-border shipping solutions developer Freight Technologies Inc. is a B2B marketplace builder focused on providing the commercial trucking industry with transparent and efficient automation to simplify necessary communications, coordination and paperwork
• Freight Technologies, also known as Fr8Tech, upgraded its brand and ticker symbol earlier this year following its reverse merger with Hudson Capital Inc.
• Amid the upgrade, the company is reporting new record quarterly revenue that grew by 60 percent over the previous quarter and 45 percent YOY
• The company expects improving market conditions as the nation continues to rebound from COVID’s economic effects to drive long-term growth

At the height of the COVID pandemic two years ago, a large number of people found themselves out of work — many because of economic factors that ravaged day-to-day business cultures and others because they apparently decided it was a good time to choose more satisfying work (https://ibn.fm/gXIpx). The commercial trucking industry’s personnel shortages were a major factor in generating supply chain bottleneck frustrations that have further impacted the economy with retail product insecurity, but as vaccines have helped to drive a reopening of the labor market a newly diverse cadre of truckers, including minorities, women and family partners, has taken to the roads (https://ibn.fm/JAs21). The new blood in the trucking industry, as well as the ongoing challenges created by worker shortages, underline the need for using technology to simplify processes and eliminate inefficiencies in the movement along the supply chain. Over-the-road shipping technology innovator Freight Technologies (NASDAQ: FRGT) (“Fr8Tech”) has developed a AI-powered marketplace solution for optimizing and automating the supply chain process to help keep trucks moving with minimal obstacles. The company’s Fr8app B2B marketplace is its flagship product in a suite of communications products powered by artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning technology that helps connect shippers with qualified carriers as a real-time broker portal. Freight Technologies is concentrated on cross-border and intra-national shipping within North America’s NAFTA trade area, and its efforts to upgrade its brand and ticker symbol earlier this year have helped establish a new identity that is producing rising revenues. In the company’s Q2 2022 financial report, Fr8Tech noted that quarterly revenue for the period ended June 30 grew 60 percent over the Q1 report and was up 45 percent for the period YOY, establishing a new record for the company. “The growth reflects greater traction in each of our dedicated capacity product, Fr8Fleet, and our U.S. domestic Fr8App services,” Fr8Tech CEO Javier Selgas stated in connection with the report (https://ibn.fm/xnjGf). “Fr8App offers many advantages including time and cost savings that benefit shippers and carriers. Even when macro-economic challenges persist, goods still need to be delivered in a timely and costly manner, and Fr8App makes the whole process easier. As such, we continue to broaden our customer reach.” Selgas stated the company anticipates steady long-term growth, especially as market conditions improve and fuel prices stabilize. Fr8App’s focus on transparency and efficiency is a significant driver in helping smaller carriers, particularly those working to meet Mexico’s tight CFDI 4.0 freight law deadline for companies registered in Mexico’s Tax Administration Service. The legal standard was set to take effect as early as 2021, but industry concerns led to an extension of the deadline to January 2023 (https://ibn.fm/CSRaD).

• EverGen remains primed for a catalyst-rich second half of 2022; appears on track to boost RNG production to satisfy Canada’s swelling demand as consumers flock to the renewable natural gas space

“We have positioned EverGen as a leading RNG platform with a core operating portfolio and pipeline of projects in Canada set to deliver significant RNG volumes and accelerate the energy transition,” were the words of Chase Edgelow, CEO of EverGen Infrastructure (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF) as the company reported financial results as at and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 (https://ibn.fm/CboZ3). Second quarter updates and highlights include milestones such as expansion across Canada, where the company now boasts a presence in three of the country’s four largest jurisdictions for RNG. Remaining laser-focused on its commitment to cater to the ballooning demand for renewable natural gas, EverGen has continued to execute its rapid growth strategy in Q2 2022. As a result, the company acquired a 50% interest in a portfolio of RNG development projects in Ontario called Project Radius – a strategic move that marks its inroad into Eastern Canada after establishing a notable RNG foothold in Western Canada. The construction of this late-stage portfolio of three high-quality, on-farm RNG projects with the combined capacity to produce approximately 1.7 million GJ/year of RNG is expected to continue throughout 2023 and 2024 (https://ibn.fm/1ng14). Following the acquisition of Project Radius, the company acquired a 67% interest in Alberta’s Grow the Energy Circle Ltd. (“GrowTEC”), a sustainable agriculture venture centered around a farm-scale biogas facility that converts biodegradable waste into biogas and generates renewable power. The project is currently in the first phase of a core RNG expansion expected to be completed in Q4 2022. EverGen will work with GrowTEC to expand facilities this year to process the biogas and upgrade it to RNG to be fed into the local pipeline network. With an offtake agreement secured with FortisBC, this project appears well positioned to reap the benefits from a long-term purchasing agreement with British Columbia’s largest energy provider. Offtakes are often key to ensuring that producers have guaranteed buyers for their future products and to helping them have better access to finance (https://ibn.fm/Mx07m). EverGen’s growth aspirations continued to achieve external validation throughout Q2 with new financing arrangements that ensure full funding of its near-term Core RNG Expansion Projects. The company signed a term sheet with Scotiabank’s subsidiary Roynat Capital and Export Development Canada for a $31 million syndicated senior term loan to support the funding of its Fraser Valley Biogas and Net Zero Waste Abbotsford projects. With an increasing number of consumers seeking RNG solutions in a bid to mitigate their carbon footprint, Chase is beaming with optimism about the company’s prospects for the rest of the year. “Having achieved key milestones in our core expansion projects, we have a clear path to deliver increased RNG production in excess of 2 million GJ per year and are primed for a catalyst-rich second half of 2022.”, he said as he revealed the company’s lofty goals for the future.

• D-Wave has announced first ever demonstration of large-scale coherence in quantum annealers
• New research findings open the door to simulations of exotic phases of matter (unusual states of matter, outside of liquid, solid or gas, that make up the universe)
• The company is further exploring the potential of annealing quantum computing for future products, services, and software applications

D-Wave Quantum (NYSE: QBTS), a leader in quantum computing systems, software, and services, is focused on delivering customer value via practical quantum applications for problems such as logistics, artificial intelligence, materials science, drug discovery, scheduling, fault detection, and financial modeling, and is the only provider building both annealing and gate-model quantum computers. Through its products, the company is unlocking commercial use cases in optimization today while building the technologies that enable new solutions for tomorrow. Quantum annealing technology is a quantum computing method used to find the optimal solution to problems with many possible solutions by exploiting properties specific to quantum physics. Quantum annealing uses a cooling process, where the temperature is replaced by quantum energy, and the lowest energy state (global minimum), is found through the annealing process. D-Wave has demonstrated coherent evolution through a quantum phase transition in the paradigmatic setting of a 1D transverse field Ising chain, using up to 2,000 superconducting flux qubits in a programmable quantum annealer. The experiments conducted by the company, and recently published in Nature Physics, demonstrate that large-scale quantum annealers can be operated coherently and can pave the way to exploiting coherent dynamics in quantum optimization, machine learning, and simulation tasks. The company has concluded that by tuning the parameters of a programmable quantum annealer, it has simulated quantum critical phenomena in 1D chains of up to 2,000 spins. The results provide the foundation to support coherent quantum simulation on a previously unattainable scale. The experimental results give insight into coherence that is expected to support D-Wave’s development of annealing and gate-based quantum computers. D-Wave’s annealing and gate-based computing represent two different approaches to applying quantum technology to provide solutions to the problems being processed. The company’s relentless pursuit of practical quantum computing has resulted in the technology being used today by some of the world’s most advanced enterprises – more than 25 of the Forbes Global 2000 trust D-Wave’s quantum computing technology to solve some of their largest computational problems. D-Wave’s commercial customers include blue-chip industry leaders like Volkswagen, Accenture, BBVA, NEC Corporation, Save-On-Foods, DENSO, and Lockheed Martin. The company boasts an extensive IP portfolio featuring over 200 issued U.S. patents and over 100 peer-reviewed papers published in leading scientific journals.
