This month has been a roller coaster ride for the Crypto World. While Bitcoin showed signs of
resurgence, there were certain Crypto Assets that tanked due to various reasons. Overall, the
Market has seen a happy ending in the month of January 2023.
With the changes coming in Crypto Pricing, even the market has started looking positive. With
this optimistic sentiment, the overall market perspective is seeing a change. There are some
hush-hush voices in the Investor Circles about the next Bull Run getting started.
But this all is just a phase. To our perception, this is just a long due positive move as a result of the
suppression of the genuine Crypto Market Valuation because of a series of collapses in the Crypto
Exchanges.
One interesting thing to observe here is that the projects that saw a downfall were not directly
related to Crypto Technology. They were all built on the long-standing desire of the human race to
play on the Financial Valuation of anything, which in this case was Blockchain Technology. So, to
sum it up, it was not the Blockchain Industry that went into a loss, it was actually the Financial
Companies, playing on the speculation of the valuation of Blockchain Technology, that suffered
losses and collapse because of their greedy adventures.
But there are a few technology companies that are working day and night to create an impact on
our lives with the help of Blockchain Technology. Coin Gabbar appreciates all the builders that
stand committed to the development irrespective of the negativities prevalent in the market, in
the hope of Sunny days ahead.

Bitcoin kicked off 2023 with a bang, as investors
eagerly anticipated a reversal of the monetary
tightening that had caused market panic in the
previous year. After a tumultuous 2022, the cryp-
tocurrency market experienced a remarkable
turnaround in January, with the tokens that had
suffered the most losses the previous year experi-
encing the most gains. Bitcoin's impressive
monthly performance resulted in significant gains
for APT, GALA, T, MANA, and SOL, making them
the top-performing altcoins of the month.

Mastercard and Binance have said that a
prepaid card backed by Bitcoin and other
cryptocurrencies will be available in Brazil.
Brazil probably has the largest economy in
Latin America. The Brazilian version will
"allow all new and existing Binance users in
Brazil with a valid national ID to make
purchases and pay bills with cryptocurren-
cies." As per reports, it will charge a 0.9% fee
for each bitcoin transaction. It will also offer
8% cash back on certain purchases and will
not charge for ATM withdrawals.

It was a tough month for crypto employees,
because this month, at least 14 businesses,
including Coinbase, Gemini, Digital Currency
Group, ConsenSys, and Blockchain.com,
announced staff reductions. At least 2,900
cryptocurrency employees were laid off in the
first month of 2023 across 14 different
cryptocurrency organizations as the industry's
businesses tightened their belts.

Ethereum Shanghai network upgrade is the next
major upgrade for the Ethereum network that
core developers have chosen to work on before
implementing upgrades related to the Surge. As
the Surge is an upgrade path that improves the
blockchain’s maximum transactions per second
(TPS), Ethereum developers stated that the
Shanghai upgrade will ensure minimal delays and
issues as they prepare for the Surge upgrade
In 2023, inflation worries will prompt the Fed
to raise rates again. US inflation is dropping,
according to recent data. In November, the
CPI reported 7% inflation, down from June's
9%.
It is almost certain that the Fed's policy-mak-
ing body will increase the federal fund's
target range to 4.50%-4.75%. That would be
a shift down to a 25-basis-point rise, which
was the FOMC's typical rate hike up until last
year when it was lagging behind in normaliz-
ing its ultra-loose monetary policy.
FOMC expects “continuing rises in the target
range.” Keeping "increases" in its policy state-
ment implies at least two more 25-basis-point
raises.
Recent Fed speakers have supported slowing
rate hikes, pointing to a 25-basis-point hike.
The announcement is to be made on 1st Feb.
Powell's press conference is yet to convey
exact signals.
Talking about the adoption of Cryptocurren-
cy in India, the IT Minister Gives a Green
Signal to Cryptocurrency in India. On January
19, an Indian government official Rajeev
Chandrasekhar spoke about cryptocurrency
at an event in Bengaluru. Rajeev asserted that
“cryptocurrencies are not illegal in India if
legal procedures are followed.”
The comments of the IT Minister are signifi-
cant since the Indian government will present
the annual budget for the upcoming fiscal
year on February 1.

The rally in the cryptocurrency markets
began in early January, with Bitcoin leading
the charge. Bitcoin has had an impressive
start to the year, with a 45.12% surge, making
it the best month since a 40% rally in October
2021 and its best January since 2013. This
remarkable performance has been a boon for
investors, as Bitcoin continues to
demonstrate its potential as a viable asset
class.
On January 1st, Bitcoin (BTC) began its first
day with a small green candle forming a low of
$16,500. The price then continued
it’s upward trajectory, closing near $23,125
on January 31st, representing a gain of
approximately 40%. During the month of
January, Bitcoin made a low of $16,500 and a
high near $23,960. The long-term resistance
line is in the $25,200 area, which is the high of
August 2022. If BTC breaks through this
resistance, it could open up the possibility of a
rally towards $30,000. On the support side,
$22,200 is the major support level; if the
price closes below this, the bears will regain
control and push the price toward the
$20,000 round number.

Price Updates for Cryptocurrencies in January

In 2022, cryptocurrencies were the most battered asset class. Over the course of the year, the
overall market capitalization fell by more than 63%. However, in January 2023, the broader
cryptocurrency market showed some positive optimism.
As per CoinGabbar analysis, the top five best-performing assets in January 2023 were Gala,
Solana, Apecoin, Aptos, and Fantom.
Apecoin (APE)
ApeCoin is an ERC-20 token that is used
within the APE Ecosystem to facilitate and
promote community-wide distribution across
the web3. This month, the APE token gained
tremendous traction from the NFT
community.
The price increase transpired because of a
rise in trading volume and the floor prices of
several NFT collections. Reports reveal that if
we compare the fundamental indicators of
the industry with the movement of APE on
the market, Apecoin benefited from the rise
of the NFT market.
Aptos (APT)
Aptos is a layer-1 blockchain that is highly
scalable and adaptable. The APT token has
grown in popularity over the past few
months. The APT price has surged significant-
ly after NFTs became more popular on the
blockchain, with more collections launching
on Aptos.
Furthermore, Binance contributed signifi-
cantly to the recent price movement. The
crypto exchange earlier announced the addi-
tion of two new cryptocurrency liquidity
pools (APT/BTC & APT/USDT).
Gala (GALA)
Gala is a blockchain-based decentralized
gaming ecosystem. The Gala token, the Gala
network's native virtual currency, is utilized
to fuel all transactions inside the ecosystem.
The recent price increase in the GALA token
is owing to the announcement of a new pivot
by the ecosystem's developers. As per
reports, the developers are currently working
on two projects with actors The Rock and
Mark Wahlberg, two of Hollywood's biggest
names. Experts believe that the token has
enormous potential to continue its bull run in
the near future.
Solana (SOL)
Solana is a community-based blockchain
technology that is aiming for long-term
viability. In the past few months, the token
suffered significant losses owing to the fallout
of the crypto exchange FTX. But in January
2023, the token reversed its bearish trend
and started a fresh bull run.
The price increase came after Ethereum
founder Vitalik Buterin expressed his support
for the Solana ecosystem. Another reason
driving the SOL price was the anticipation of a
new memecoin, BONK, development on the
Solana network.

Fantom (FTM)
FTM is the native token of the Fantom network, a smart contract platform designed to compete
with Ethereum.
There are various reasons for the FTM price increase, but the most significant overnight news for
the project is an "interchain" communication announcement that advances the Fantom
cross-blockchain interoperability.

Fortune favors the brave, especially if you are
brave enough to put your home at stake to buy a
virtual coin. This is the story of a software
developer, who decided to explore blockchain
during a gambling eve and ended up being the
biggest face of the industry.
Today, we are talking about Changpeng Zhao, CEO
of Binance Holdings Ltd., and how he laid the foun-
dation for the most successful exchange the crypto
industry has ever seen.
Binance has withstood everything from massive
hacks to the largest withdrawals the crypto
industry has ever seen. Nevertheless, nothing has
been able to challenge Binance's dominance in the
industry.

In 2013, CZ stumbled upon Bitcoin when his
friends asked him to invest 10% of his total net
worth in the cryptocurrency. As a software
developer, Zhao was captivated by the
concept and decided to liquidate his
apartment for a million dollars and invest the
entirety in Bitcoin. Unfortunately, the
investment didn't go as planned, as the value
of Bitcoin plummeted from $600 to $200
shortly after. However, CZ persevered and
held onto his Bitcoin, eventually making $17
million from his investments. He then joined
Blockchain.info and later OKCoin as the
project CTO, cementing his place in the cryp-
tocurrency world.
This was the time when CZ decided to build
his own exchange and that is how Binance was
founded in 2017. Binance became an instant
hit in the crypto industry with CZ becoming a
crypto billionaire within 8 months of the
launch of the exchange. The launch of the
Binance exchange was followed by the devel-
opment of Binance Coin (BNB) and later on
Binance Smart Chain in 2020.
After the successful initial coin offering (ICO)
of the BNB token, CZ raised $15 million and

There is no doubt about the fact that a large
number of cryptocurrency exchanges are
flourishing in the industry, but Binance is its
undisputed leader. You can get an idea of its size
by the fact that Coinbase, its closest competitor,
has a daily trading volume that is a mere tenth of
Binance's. This demonstrates the sheer
magnitude of Binance's success and its domi-
nance in the industry.
Since its inception, Binance has been committed
to bringing blockchain and cryptocurrencies to
the masses. With only 2% of the world having
adopted cryptocurrencies, Binance has achieved
an impressive annual trading volume of nearly
one trillion. Through its various products and
resources, Binance is striving to reach the
remaining 98%. This demonstrates the immense
potential of Binance in the near future, where
cryptocurrencies will become an integral part of
global commerce.

invested it in creating a robust infrastructure
for the Binance exchange. Within just 143
days of its launch, Binance had already
become the third-largest cryptocurrency
exchange in the world. However, due to a shift
in Chinese government policies, Binance had
to relocate outside of China.
The primary factor behind Binance's unstop-
pable rise was its ability to accommodate a
massive user base without any technical
issues. Binance can process up to 1.4 million
orders per second, allowing the exchange to
scale at an unprecedented rate.
The growth of Binance was not without its
challenges. Allegations, anonymous hacks,
regulatory crackdowns, and relocation
outside of China were all obstacles that had to
be overcome. Despite these hurdles, Binance
CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) was able to estab-
lish a dominant presence in the crypto indus-
try.
CZ also used various channels of communica-
tion, such as Twitter, to interact with users
and build trust in the exchange. The success of
Binance's native token BNB became the back-
bone of CZ's execution while also allowing
users to reduce their exchange fees by 50%.
However, the biggest challenge in front of
Binannce was to reach out to those societies
in the world that have never used cryptocur-
rencies before. Binance took the task in hand
and gained unprecedented growth by domi-
nating the countries that were relatively new
to the blockchain space. Binance ensured to
leverage this advantage and became the most
effective multilingual crypto exchange in the
world. Rather than being hindered by the
challenges it faced, Binance used them to its
advantage and developed them into
strengths.

The meteoric rise of Binance has attracted the
attention of government regulators, journal-
ists, and other industry stakeholders. Since
the rise of cryptocurrency, journalists are
particularly interested in the domain and the
sudden rise of Binance did not get unnoticed
by a constant watch. Apart from that Binance
has also given adequate fodder to the media
to dive deeper into questioning its
methodology.
It is to be noted, Binance is a completely
private company and is not bound to make its
accounts public. As a result, the net profit,
loss, cash reserves, and collective revenue of
the exchange are never shared with its users.
This creates a state of ambiguity in which
users of the exchange have close to no infor-
mation about the financials of the exchange
that is the custodian of their
cryptocurrencies.
Apart from that CZ is also accused of creating
an entirely new crypto exchange in the U.S. to
avoid the operations of the main exchange.
This had avoided Binance’s financial opera-
tions from being held accountable in U.S juris-
diction. This was a serious allegation on
Binance. Despite the claims of the exchange
that it has all the regulatory licenses to oper-
ate in Europe, Dubai, and Canada, it is still
under investigation by the authorities for
submitting scant information for legal
approvals.
The U.S. Department of Justice is investigat-
ing Binance's role in money laundering and
assisting economies in evading trade sanc-
tions. Adding to Binance's worries, most pros-
ecutors believe they have gathered enough
evidence to bring the exchange and its top
executives under scrutiny. John Reed Stark, a
former chief of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission's Office of Internet
Enforcement, has also claimed that Binance's
operations are worse than those of FTX, with
no public knowledge of its financials. This has
caused a great deal of concern among inves-
tors and regulators alike.
The FTX Fallout was an event that gained the
attention of the entire world, even those who
were not involved in space. The magnitude of
the loss was so immense that it sent shock-
waves throughout the market. However, the
role of Binance in escalating the entire FTX
fiasco has largely gone unnoticed. To recap, it
was Binance who first tweeted their concerns
about the financials of FTX and proposed to
dilute their $500 million worth of FTT hold-
ings in the market. To ensure that this mass
liquidation would not have a detrimental
effect on the market, Binance promised to do
it in an orderly fashion.
Unfortunately, the entire FTT holdings were
liquidated immediately, causing extreme panic
among investors. The fear, uncertainty, and
doubt that developed during the fallout were
blamed on Binance for allegedly fabricating
the situation to push FTX to its breaking point.
Some of the top minds in the market even
accused Binance of orchestrating the entire

scenario to eliminate a close rival from the
market. CZ also attempted to come forward
as a helping hand by offering a bailout of FTX,
but later retracted the offer after gaining a
closer look into its books in the name of due
diligence.
The demise of FTX at an unprecedented rate
also hurt badly to Binance as the fire of FUD
reached its shore very soon. Binance
witnessed billions of dollars of withdrawals
within the few hours of FTX's fall. Despite a
few minor halts, Binance could handle the
situation and liquidate the assets of its users
without much trouble. However, the entire
incident left many loopholes exposed in
Binance operations and valid questions were
raised on the claims of its cent percent
liquidity.
With trillions of dollars of trade volume and a
market valuation of over $60 billion, Binance
is the largest player in the market. Even imag-
ining the fall out of the biggest whale in the
sea is a trauma for many investors and could
potentially send the entire crypto market into
a tailspin. However, it is also true that a central
entity gaining this much muscle in the block-
chain industry goes against the very values of
the technology. The last market fall triggered
a minor test of Binance’s actual liquidating
capacity and it possibly could go worse.
But is Binance too big to fail? Well, the answer
lies in understanding the fact that no matter
how strong a centrally controlled organiza-
tion is, there is no point in fueling more to its
strength. Binance is a great example that how
strong the crypto industry could become, but
the ultimate goal of decentralizing the financ-
es does not entertain monopolies in the space.

Bringing Blockchain to the
Decision Makers
www.coingabbar.com
The world is well-acquainted with India
through the eyes of its diaspora. Not only do
they represent the nation, but they are also
the driving force behind its flourishing econo-
my. Indians are present in large numbers
across the globe, contributing to the nation's
soft power.
As the global economy continues to embrace
technology to improve its operational models,
India's FinTech sector is leading the charge in
innovation. Leveraging the power of block-
chain technology, India is now in the final
stages of testing its Central Bank Digital Cur-
rency.
It is now more important than ever to educate
not only Indians but the world, about block-
chain technology. This is why CoinGabbar has
stepped forward to become part of the largest
celebration of the Indian diaspora, the Pravasi
Bhartiya Sammelan-2023.
The Ministry of External Affairs proudly hosts
the Pravasi Bhartiya Sammelan to celebrate
the invaluable contributions of Non-Resident
Indians to the development of India. Pravasi
Bhartiya Diwas is commemorated on the 9th
of January each year to mark Mahatma Gand-
hi’s return to India from South Africa in 1915.
This year, the cleanest city in India, Indore,
hosted the Pravasi Bharatiya Sammelan with
the theme ‘Diaspora: Reliable Partners for
India’s Progress in Amrit Kaal’. This gathering
of innovators, thinkers, and entrepreneurs
provided Non-Resident Indians with a unique
opportunity to explore new ventures and
contribute to the nation's growth.
This event will work towards strengthening
the ties between India and its citizens living
overseas, reconnecting them to their roots
and honoring exemplary contributors of the
Indian diaspora with the Pravasi Bhartiya
Samman, the highest honor conferred on a
Non-Resident Indian.
On 9th January 2023, Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi and the President of Guyana,
Mohmed Irfaan Ali, inaugurated the event.
The award ceremony was presided over by
the Honorable President of India, Smt.
Draupadi Murmu, the following day, 10th
January.

Policy Changes In and Around the World

Changes in Policy
As the crypto market continues to grow and evolve, governments and regulators further imple-
ment new policies to address the risks and opportunities presented by cryptocurrencies.
In January 2023, several countries like India, the United States, the European Union, El Salvador,
Israel, and Japan amended or issued official insights regarding crypto regulations. So, let's take a
deep dive into each country's policy changes and examine their official remarks regarding upcom-
ing crypto regulations.
On January 19, an Indian government official,
Rajeev Chandrasekhar, spoke about crypto
assets at an event in Bengaluru. Rajeev stated
that "cryptocurrencies are not illegal in India if
legal procedures are followed."
This statement created a buzz in the Indian
crypto community regarding the upcoming
legal framework for cryptocurrencies.
Experts believe that the government will defi-
nitely take benefit from its G20 presidency.
To that end, India's federal economic affairs
secretary, Ajay Seth stated in December 2022
that the G20 countries will soon evaluate the
significance of cryptocurrencies in India. This
indicates that the Indian crypto community
might witness a legal regulatory framework
for crypto assets soon.

On January 24, New York's financial regulator
announced the implementation of strict mea-
sures to ensure investor safety in the after-
math of the FTX collapse. New York's senior
financial regulator stated that the state
government will soon issue new guidelines
requiring businesses to separate their
customers' crypto assets from their own.
Furthermore, lawmakers in two US states,
Mississippi and Missouri, have announced the
establishment of bills to safeguard and assist
bitcoin mining operations and node operators
in the respective states.
The proposed measures from the three US
states mentioned above indicate that the US
will soon become a global hub for crypto
adoption. Experts believe that the country's
stance towards cryptocurrency is favourable,
which may help native citizens in the near
future.
The United States Announces
Insights On Cryptocurrency
On January 23, the European Parliament's
economic affairs committee voted on a
proposal to bring clarity to the cryptocurren-
cy market. As per reports, the EU voted on
concessions reached by all parties. It was a
draft law that enabled authorities in adopting
Basel III's final components.
Basel III is a set of policies that world leaders
have agreed to. It implies that banks would be
required to set aside punitive capital amounts
used to pay for their digital asset holdings. In
one of the law's amendments, financial institu-
tions would have to give crypto exposures a
risk weighting of 1.250% of capital. By doing
so, they will be able to cover a loss.
In addition, recent reports reveal that the
Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA),
a vital element of new European Union legis-
lation, has been delayed due to technical
issues. However, the final vote will now have
to be delayed until April 2023.

On January 11, El Salvador's legislative
assembly approved a digital securities bill.
The bill authorizes the country to issue
Bitcoin-based bonds. The bill was initially
introduced in parliament in November
2022.
The bill is expected to establish a foundation
for a legal framework of digital assets. This
will give legal clarity for any transfer opera-
tions involving digital assets used in El Salva-
dor. Meanwhile, the bill's main purpose is to
make the issuance of volcanic bonds more
feasible.
El Salvador has received a lot of attention in
recent months as it switched to Bitcoin. The
country's president, Nayib Bukele, is so
confident in Bitcoin that he plans to buy one
BTC every day, despite media criticism.
Experts noted that the country is setting an

On January 03, the Israel Securities Authori-
ty (ISA) announced planned on establishing a
new regulatory framework for digital assets.
The ISA noted that the government intends
to amend the country's existing securities
regulations.
As per the proposal, the country's regulations
would be amended to incorporate digital
assets into existing securities regulations,
potentially classifying most crypto assets as
financial investments regulated by the ISA.
ISA noted that the goal of this proposal is to
protect investors while also allowing for the
distinctive features of cryptocurrencies.
Experts believe that the upcoming amended
crypto regulation would undoubtedly assist
the Israeli crypto market to expand even more.

On January 16, the National Tax Agency of
Japan issued guidelines for taxing NFT
transactions, including those involving
blockchain gaming. The guidelines were
issued by the authorities, and they offer a
simplified approach to taxing these large and
frequent transactions.
While Japan is taxing digital collectables, the
country is also interested in the web3 indus-
try. In recent months, several events have
transpired, including a proposed tax cut by
crypto enthusiasts in order to keep compe-
tence in the country. In addition, the country
is also attempting to revive its economy by
prioritizing the metaverse.
To sum up, the month of January witnessed
the continuation of policy reforms pertain-
ing to digital assets. The crypto community
believes that the increased regulation and
control have helped to reduce unlawful
activities like money laundering and fraud in
the near future. However, the reforms have
also made it more difficult for legitimate
businesses to operate in the sector.
Despite these challenges, the overall senti-
ment in the industry remains positive, as
many believe that these changes will
ultimately lead to greater mainstream
acceptance and adoption of cryptocurren-
cies. Overall, the crypto policy changes in
January 2023 have been a step in the right
direction toward building a more secure and
trustworthy cryptocurrency ecosystem.

I started my career in the early 90s as a
hacker. Those were the days of Solaris,
FreeBSD, Windows NT & Novell NetWare.
My lifelong love affair with Cryptography
started when I chanced upon David Chaum's
work on blind digital signatures and the
"Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by
Menezes, Oorschot & Vanstonemy.
In 1999, I co-founded the Asian School of
Cyber Laws. Over the next 16 years, I
worked in cyber investigation & cyber law. I
proudly count some of the best investigators
& lawyers among my students. I have also
had the privilege of assisting the Govt. of
India in framing draft rules under the Infor-
mation Technology Act.
My work spanned 18 countries and I have
investigated cyber crimes & data breaches
for hundreds of organizations across many
sectors - from aerospace & banking to law
enforcement, pharma & shipping. I also had
the privilege of leading the teams that devel-
oped "The Collaborative Online Investiga-
tion Network" & the "ASCL Volatile
Evidence Retrieval Tool".
I authored the Cyber Crime Investigation
Manual, which has been referred to as a
"bible for cybercrime investigators" by the
Times of India.
I authored the Cyber Crime Investigation
Manual, which has been referred to as a

In 2016, I co-founded BankChain - a commu-
nity of 37 banks plus IBM, Microsoft & Intel.
Our core product was a "self-building"
blockchain ecosystem with a web app, PWA,
and a Blockchain REST API service. The proj-
ect went into hibernation in early 2018 after
the Reserve Bank of India's ban on crypto. I
continued as a Blockchain Architect for
some very interesting projects.
In 2020, after the Supreme Court struck
down the RBI ban, I became actively
involved with the crypto industry. Currently,
I am the Chief Blockchain Architect of the
Hybrid Finance Blockchain (HyFi).

HYFI Blockchain is a permissioned Layer-1 Blockchain with distributed consensus between
identified block validators. It has full support for data privacy, KYC, AML, CFT & other regulatory
compliances.
HYFI's core product is FLIPs. A fractional License of Intellectual Property (FLIP), is a type of
digital asset that represents fractional ownership of a specific intellectual property, such as art,
books, movies, music, software & video games.
FLIPs are a new asset class that allows for the fractionalization & tokenization of intellectual
property rights on the HYFI Blockchain. This means that creators can now monetize their intel-
lectual property rights in a more efficient, cost-effective, and transparent way.
With the use of FLIPs, creators can now sell a small percentage of their intellectual property
rights to multiple investors, allowing them to raise capital while still retaining ownership of their
work. This also enables investors to purchase a small stake in a piece of intellectual property,
making it accessible to a wider range of people. Additionally, FLIPs can be traded on the HYFI
Marketplace, allowing for a secondary market for these assets to exist. FLIPs can also be securely
stored in the HYFI Wallet.

months studying bitcoin technology and setting up multichain blockchains. Since then it's been a

Yes, it's true! But I don't want to think about it anymore :-)
Is it true that you deleted your Bitcoins? How many did
you delete and do you regret doing that?
Q.
Anything can be hacked!
You can have the best security systems in the world and you still can get hacked! That
does not mean we give up on security. It means that we have to plan for the inevitable!
Would you like to share the wisdom you gained while
working as a cybercrime investigator & forensic expert?
Q.
All the projects I have worked on are awesome. But what I really like about HYFI is that
we are using blockchain to the maximum for solving 3 massive global problems:
- Traditional methods for managing & monetizing intellectual property rights in the art,
books, movies, music, software & video games industry are inefficient, costly, and lack
transparency.
- Creators are not connected to the end-consumers. This results in limited engagement
& monetization.
-Investors do not have access to high-growth Intellectual Property assets.
You’ve worked with multiple blockchain projects
in the past, how HyFi is different and better than
the rest of them?
Q.
I believe that there is only one blockchain
use case - Smart Asset Lifecycle Manage-
ment. This includes issuance, transfer,
exchange, escrow, reissuance, redemption,
one-way payments, atomic transfers,
multi-sig transactions, retirement, and
destruction. A blockchain smart asset is the
digital representation of a real-world asset
(e.g. gold, equity shares, fiat currency, copy-
right license, etc.).
The blockchain removes the characteristic
of infinite reproducibility from a digital
asset. It confirms that each unit of value
was transferred only once, solving the
long-standing problem of double spend-
ing. A blockchain can assign title rights
because it provides a record that compels
offer and acceptance. So any project which
relies on the Smart Asset Lifecycle Man-
agement capability of blockchains will do
well. Other projects will fail.
What do you think about the future of blockchains?

Misconception 1
Many people think that blockchain and cryptocurrencies are the same things. They do not
know that blockchain is a technology and cryptocurrency is a use case.
Misconception 2
Many people think that all blockchain tokens are the same and have no real-world value.
They do not know that there are many types of tokens - currencies, utility coins, gover-
nance tokens, subscription tokens, etc.
You have a long list of publications; what, according to
you, are the most common misconceptions people have
about blockchain and crypto?
Q.
I think India has taken a very good approach to blockchain and crypto regulation. Specula-
tive cryptocurrencies have been defined as Virtual Digital Assets (VDA) and taxed at 30%
with no offsets except the cost of acquisition.
But several solid tokens are not considered VDAs - gift cards & vouchers, mileage points,
reward points, loyalty cards, and subscriptions to websites, platforms, and applications
Where, according to you, does India stand when it
comes to blockchain and crypto regulation in
the country?
Q.
Think beyond crypto!
Blockchain is so much more than crypto. It's an awesome industry to work in and there
are phenomenal opportunities in WEB3 development, token economics, crypto crime
investigation, blockchain law, and community management.
Concluding statements with a message for our users.

Blockchain technology is no longer just a
buzzword associated with cryptocurrencies;
it is revolutionizing several industries world-
wide. It has a wide range of use cases, from
finance to supply chain management. Busi-
nesses are using blockchain to create new
revenue streams and secure their data. But
what makes this technology practical is the
consensus mechanism that lies at its core.
The consensus mechanism ensures smooth
functioning among participants in a block-
chain network.
Imagine a distributed network where every
vote is counted, with each participant having
the same rights. Also, every transaction is
verified by the decision made with a majority
of votes, and that too without any need for a
central authority. It's exactly what consen-
sus mechanisms enable in the world of
blockchain technology. Let’s explore consen-
sus mechanisms and some of the most com-
monly used options available.
What is Consensus Mechanism?
Consensus Mechanisms in
Blockchain
Here, "consensus” refers to a general agree-
ment or understanding among a group of
people or entities. For example, a group of
friends decides on a restaurant to eat at.
They each suggest different options, but
through discussion and negotiation, they
reach an agreement on one restaurant to go
to. Everyone agrees on the decision, and
that's their consensus.
n the context of distributed systems and
blockchain, "consensus" is the process of
reaching an agreement on the state of the
system among all the participating nodes.
For example, while verifying a transaction in
the blockchain, validators can reach a
consensus on the state that whether the
transaction is legitimate or not. Consensus
in a blockchain network is achieved through
the use of a consensus mechanism.
Consensus Mechanisms are algorithms or
protocols that are designed to ensure that
all nodes in the system agree on the same
state. These are simply the algorithms used
to reach consensus on a Blockchain. Differ-
ent nodes may have different views of the
system's state due to network delays,
failures, or malicious actors. A consensus
mechanism ensures that all nodes in the
system agree on the same state.

How does a Consensus Mechanism Work?
The consensus mechanism includes several steps to get a response from the access nodes.
Nodes need to validate transactions to ensure that they are legitimate. Transactions are
grouped into blocks and added to the blockchain. The consensus mechanism is used to reach an
agreement among the nodes on which block should be added next. An algorithm may require at
least 51% of nodes to reply to reach a consensus or agreement on a data value or transaction.
The purpose of the blockchain is defined by the consensus algorithm employed by it. Each
consensus mechanism has its own way to reach an agreement.
Commonly used Consensus Mechanisms

Feature Pros Cons Use cases
A consensus mechanism is a choice that organizations and blockchain developers make with
an understanding of the desired outcome. There are several different types of consensus
mechanisms, each having its own strengths and weaknesses

First, the validators are selected based on certain criteria, the block is added to the chain, and
then rewards are distributed to the validators in the form of native cryptocurrency. For exam-
ple, in Proof-of-Work (PoW), the node that solves a complex mathematical puzzle first (using
computational power) gets the right to add the following block and take rewards. While in
Proof-of-Stake (PoS), the node that holds the most coins gets the right to add the next block.
Whenever the next block is added to the blockchain, all nodes in the network update their
copies of the blockchain to ensure that they are all in the same state.

Blockchains are able to maintain a level of decentralization and scalability due to their
consensus mechanism. The consensus mechanism defines the fundamentals and proper-
ties of blockchain as well as its domain of application. It is like the heart of a blockchain; it
decides how the network operates, who has the power to validate transactions, and how
new blocks are added to the chain.
There are several consensus algorithms, each with its own set of pros and cons. But there
is no one-size-fits-all solution for all blockchains. Different types of blockchains will use
different consensus algorithms. Businesses and organizations should select a consensus
mechanism that fulfils their specific needs and objectives.

CoinGabbar News Bulletin  JANUARY finalz.pdf

  • 1.
  • 2. This month has been a roller coaster ride for the Crypto World. While Bitcoin showed signs of resurgence, there were certain Crypto Assets that tanked due to various reasons. Overall, the Market has seen a happy ending in the month of January 2023. With the changes coming in Crypto Pricing, even the market has started looking positive. With this optimistic sentiment, the overall market perspective is seeing a change. There are some hush-hush voices in the Investor Circles about the next Bull Run getting started. But this all is just a phase. To our perception, this is just a long due positive move as a result of the suppression of the genuine Crypto Market Valuation because of a series of collapses in the Crypto Exchanges. One interesting thing to observe here is that the projects that saw a downfall were not directly related to Crypto Technology. They were all built on the long-standing desire of the human race to play on the Financial Valuation of anything, which in this case was Blockchain Technology. So, to sum it up, it was not the Blockchain Industry that went into a loss, it was actually the Financial Companies, playing on the speculation of the valuation of Blockchain Technology, that suffered losses and collapse because of their greedy adventures. But there are a few technology companies that are working day and night to create an impact on our lives with the help of Blockchain Technology. Coin Gabbar appreciates all the builders that stand committed to the development irrespective of the negativities prevalent in the market, in the hope of Sunny days ahead.

After a tumultuous 2022, the cryp- tocurrency market experienced a remarkable turnaround in January, with the tokens that had suffered the most losses the previous year experi- encing the most gains. Bitcoin's impressive monthly performance resulted in significant gains for APT, GALA, T, MANA, and SOL, making them the top-performing altcoins of the month.

US inflation is dropping, according to recent data. In November, the CPI reported 7% inflation, down from June's 9%. It is almost certain that the Fed's policy-mak- ing body will increase the federal fund's target range to 4.50%-4.75%. That would be a shift down to a 25-basis-point rise, which was the FOMC's typical rate hike up until last year when it was lagging behind in normaliz- ing its ultra-loose monetary policy. FOMC expects “continuing rises in the target range.” Keeping "increases" in its policy state- ment implies at least two more 25-basis-point raises. Recent Fed speakers have supported slowing rate hikes, pointing to a 25-basis-point hike. The announcement is to be made on 1st Feb. Powell's press conference is yet to convey exact signals.

  • 6. The rally in the cryptocurrency markets began in early January, with Bitcoin leading the charge. Bitcoin has had an impressive start to the year, with a 45.12% surge, making it the best month since a 40% rally in October 2021 and its best January since 2013. This remarkable performance has been a boon for investors, as Bitcoin continues to demonstrate its potential as a viable asset class. On January 1st, Bitcoin (BTC) began its first day with a small green candle forming a low of $16,500. The price then continued it’s upward trajectory, closing near $23,125 on January 31st, representing a gain of approximately 40%. During the month of January, Bitcoin made a low of $16,500 and a high near $23,960. The long-term resistance line is in the $25,200 area, which is the high of August 2022. If BTC breaks through this resistance, it could open up the possibility of a rally towards $30,000. On the support side, $22,200 is the major support level; if the price closes below this, the bears will regain control and push the price toward the $20,000 round number.

BNB is currently ranked 5th in CoinGabbar's top cryptocurrency ranking in terms of market cap. At the start of the month, BNB price was trading at $246.30. The price of XRP also increased by 20% in the last 30 days. XRP is currently ranked 6th in CoinGabbar's top cryptocurrency ranking in terms of market cap. At the start of the month, XRP price was trading at $0.3389. The price of Cardano (ADA) has increased by 59% in the last 30 days.

  • 8. In 2022, cryptocurrencies were the most battered asset class. Over the course of the year, the overall market capitalization fell by more than 63%. However, in January 2023, the broader cryptocurrency market showed some positive optimism. As per CoinGabbar analysis, the top five best-performing assets in January 2023 were Gala, Solana, Apecoin, Aptos, and Fantom. Apecoin (APE) ApeCoin is an ERC-20 token that is used within the APE Ecosystem to facilitate and promote community-wide distribution across the web3. This month, the APE token gained tremendous traction from the NFT community. The price increase transpired because of a rise in trading volume and the floor prices of several NFT collections. Reports reveal that if we compare the fundamental indicators of the industry with the movement of APE on the market, Apecoin benefited from the rise of the NFT market. Aptos (APT) Aptos is a layer-1 blockchain that is highly scalable and adaptable. The APT token has grown in popularity over the past few months. The APT price has surged significant- ly after NFTs became more popular on the blockchain, with more collections launching on Aptos. Furthermore, Binance contributed signifi- cantly to the recent price movement. The crypto exchange earlier announced the addi- tion of two new cryptocurrency liquidity pools (APT/BTC & APT/USDT). Gala (GALA) Gala is a blockchain-based decentralized gaming ecosystem. The Gala token, the Gala network's native virtual currency, is utilized to fuel all transactions inside the ecosystem. The recent price increase in the GALA token is owing to the announcement of a new pivot by the ecosystem's developers. As per reports, the developers are currently working on two projects with actors The Rock and Mark Wahlberg, two of Hollywood's biggest names. Experts believe that the token has enormous potential to continue its bull run in the near future. Solana (SOL) Solana is a community-based blockchain technology that is aiming for long-term viability. In the past few months, the token suffered significant losses owing to the fallout of the crypto exchange FTX. But in January 2023, the token reversed its bearish trend and started a fresh bull run. The price increase came after Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin expressed his support for the Solana ecosystem. Another reason driving the SOL price was the anticipation of a new memecoin, BONK, development on the Solana network. 5 Best Performing Crypto Assets of January 2023 www.coingabbar.com January, 2023 07 Editorial Global Market Watch Features of the Month Changes in Policy Rendezvous with Founders Learn with Gabbar Gabbar Archives
  • 9. Fantom (FTM) FTM is the native token of the Fantom network, a smart contract platform designed to compete with Ethereum. There are various reasons for the FTM price increase, but the most significant overnight news for the project is an "interchain" communication announcement that advances the Fantom cross-blockchain interoperability. www.coingabbar.com January, 2023 08 Editorial Global Market Watch Features of the Month Changes in Policy Rendezvous with Founders Learn with Gabbar Gabbar Archives

This is the story of a software developer, who decided to explore blockchain during a gambling eve and ended up being the biggest face of the industry. Today, we are talking about Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance Holdings Ltd., and how he laid the foun- dation for the most successful exchange the crypto industry has ever seen. Binance has withstood everything from massive hacks to the largest withdrawals the crypto industry has ever seen. Nevertheless, nothing has been able to challenge Binance's dominance in the industry. www.coingabbar.com Features of the Month Is Binance Too Big To Fail ?

  • 11. In 2013, CZ stumbled upon Bitcoin when his friends asked him to invest 10% of his total net worth in the cryptocurrency. As a software developer, Zhao was captivated by the concept and decided to liquidate his apartment for a million dollars and invest the entirety in Bitcoin. Unfortunately, the investment didn't go as planned, as the value of Bitcoin plummeted from $600 to $200 shortly after. However, CZ persevered and held onto his Bitcoin, eventually making $17 million from his investments. He then joined Blockchain.info and later OKCoin as the project CTO, cementing his place in the cryp- tocurrency world. This was the time when CZ decided to build his own exchange and that is how Binance was founded in 2017. Binance became an instant hit in the crypto industry with CZ becoming a crypto billionaire within 8 months of the launch of the exchange. The launch of the Binance exchange was followed by the devel- opment of Binance Coin (BNB) and later on Binance Smart Chain in 2020. After the successful initial coin offering (ICO) of the BNB token, CZ raised $15 million and www.coingabbar.com There is no doubt about the fact that a large number of cryptocurrency exchanges are flourishing in the industry, but Binance is its undisputed leader. You can get an idea of its size by the fact that Coinbase, its closest competitor, has a daily trading volume that is a mere tenth of Binance's. This demonstrates the sheer magnitude of Binance's success and its domi- nance in the industry. Since its inception, Binance has been committed to bringing blockchain and cryptocurrencies to the masses. With only 2% of the world having adopted cryptocurrencies, Binance has achieved an impressive annual trading volume of nearly one trillion. Through its various products and resources, Binance is striving to reach the remaining 98%. This demonstrates the immense potential of Binance in the near future, where cryptocurrencies will become an integral part of global commerce.

Within just 143 days of its launch, Binance had already become the third-largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. However, due to a shift in Chinese government policies, Binance had to relocate outside of China. The primary factor behind Binance's unstop- pable rise was its ability to accommodate a massive user base without any technical issues. Binance can process up to 1.4 million orders per second, allowing the exchange to scale at an unprecedented rate. The growth of Binance was not without its challenges. Allegations, anonymous hacks, regulatory crackdowns, and relocation outside of China were all obstacles that had to be overcome. Despite these hurdles, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) was able to estab- lish a dominant presence in the crypto indus- try. CZ also used various channels of communica- tion, such as Twitter, to interact with users and build trust in the exchange. The success of Binance's native token BNB became the back- bone of CZ's execution while also allowing users to reduce their exchange fees by 50%. However, the biggest challenge in front of Binannce was to reach out to those societies in the world that have never used cryptocur- rencies before. Binance took the task in hand and gained unprecedented growth by domi- nating the countries that were relatively new to the blockchain space. Binance ensured to leverage this advantage and became the most effective multilingual crypto exchange in the world. Rather than being hindered by the challenges it faced, Binance used them to its advantage and developed them into strengths. www.coingabbar.com The Hurdles and the Hikes January, 2023 11 Editorial Global Market Watch Features of the Month Changes in Policy Rendezvous with Founders Learn with Gabbar Gabbar Archives
  • 13. www.coingabbar.com The meteoric rise of Binance has attracted the attention of government regulators, journal- ists, and other industry stakeholders. Since the rise of cryptocurrency, journalists are particularly interested in the domain and the sudden rise of Binance did not get unnoticed by a constant watch. Apart from that Binance has also given adequate fodder to the media to dive deeper into questioning its methodology. It is to be noted, Binance is a completely private company and is not bound to make its accounts public. As a result, the net profit, loss, cash reserves, and collective revenue of the exchange are never shared with its users. This creates a state of ambiguity in which users of the exchange have close to no infor- mation about the financials of the exchange that is the custodian of their cryptocurrencies. Apart from that CZ is also accused of creating an entirely new crypto exchange in the U.S. to avoid the operations of the main exchange. This had avoided Binance’s financial opera- tions from being held accountable in U.S juris- diction. This was a serious allegation on Binance. Despite the claims of the exchange that it has all the regulatory licenses to oper- ate in Europe, Dubai, and Canada, it is still under investigation by the authorities for submitting scant information for legal approvals. The U.S. Department of Justice is investigat- ing Binance's role in money laundering and assisting economies in evading trade sanc- tions. Adding to Binance's worries, most pros- ecutors believe they have gathered enough evidence to bring the exchange and its top executives under scrutiny. John Reed Stark, a former chief of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Office of Internet Enforcement, has also claimed that Binance's operations are worse than those of FTX, with no public knowledge of its financials. This has caused a great deal of concern among inves- tors and regulators alike. The FTX Fallout was an event that gained the attention of the entire world, even those who were not involved in space. The magnitude of the loss was so immense that it sent shock- waves throughout the market. However, the role of Binance in escalating the entire FTX fiasco has largely gone unnoticed. To recap, it was Binance who first tweeted their concerns about the financials of FTX and proposed to dilute their $500 million worth of FTT hold- ings in the market. To ensure that this mass liquidation would not have a detrimental effect on the market, Binance promised to do it in an orderly fashion. Unfortunately, the entire FTT holdings were liquidated immediately, causing extreme panic among investors. The fear, uncertainty, and doubt that developed during the fallout were blamed on Binance for allegedly fabricating the situation to push FTX to its breaking point. Some of the top minds in the market even accused Binance of orchestrating the entire The Shades of Grey Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt January, 2023 12 Editorial Global Market Watch Features of the Month Changes in Policy Rendezvous with Founders Learn with Gabbar Gabbar Archives

CZ also attempted to come forward as a helping hand by offering a bailout of FTX, but later retracted the offer after gaining a closer look into its books in the name of due diligence. The demise of FTX at an unprecedented rate also hurt badly to Binance as the fire of FUD reached its shore very soon. Binance witnessed billions of dollars of withdrawals within the few hours of FTX's fall. Despite a few minor halts, Binance could handle the situation and liquidate the assets of its users without much trouble. However, the entire incident left many loopholes exposed in Binance operations and valid questions were raised on the claims of its cent percent liquidity. With trillions of dollars of trade volume and a market valuation of over $60 billion, Binance is the largest player in the market. Even imag- ining the fall out of the biggest whale in the sea is a trauma for many investors and could potentially send the entire crypto market into a tailspin. However, it is also true that a central entity gaining this much muscle in the block- chain industry goes against the very values of the technology. The last market fall triggered a minor test of Binance’s actual liquidating capacity and it possibly could go worse. But is Binance too big to fail? Well, the answer lies in understanding the fact that no matter how strong a centrally controlled organiza- tion is, there is no point in fueling more to its strength. Binance is a great example that how strong the crypto industry could become, but the ultimate goal of decentralizing the financ- es does not entertain monopolies in the space.

In January 2023, several countries like India, the United States, the European Union, El Salvador, Israel, and Japan amended or issued official insights regarding crypto regulations. So, let's take a deep dive into each country's policy changes and examine their official remarks regarding upcom- ing crypto regulations. On January 19, an Indian government official, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, spoke about crypto assets at an event in Bengaluru. Rajeev stated that "cryptocurrencies are not illegal in India if legal procedures are followed." This statement created a buzz in the Indian crypto community regarding the upcoming legal framework for cryptocurrencies. Experts believe that the government will defi- nitely take benefit from its G20 presidency. To that end, India's federal economic affairs secretary, Ajay Seth stated in December 2022 that the G20 countries will soon evaluate the significance of cryptocurrencies in India. This indicates that the Indian crypto community might witness a legal regulatory framework for crypto assets soon.

Furthermore, lawmakers in two US states, Mississippi and Missouri, have announced the establishment of bills to safeguard and assist bitcoin mining operations and node operators in the respective states. The proposed measures from the three US states mentioned above indicate that the US will soon become a global hub for crypto adoption. Experts believe that the country's stance towards cryptocurrency is favourable, which may help native citizens in the near future. The United States Announces Insights On Cryptocurrency On January 23, the European Parliament's economic affairs committee voted on a proposal to bring clarity to the cryptocurren- cy market. As per reports, the EU voted on concessions reached by all parties. It was a draft law that enabled authorities in adopting Basel III's final components. Basel III is a set of policies that world leaders have agreed to. It implies that banks would be required to set aside punitive capital amounts used to pay for their digital asset holdings. In one of the law's amendments, financial institu- tions would have to give crypto exposures a risk weighting of 1.250% of capital. By doing so, they will be able to cover a loss. In addition, recent reports reveal that the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA), a vital element of new European Union legis- lation, has been delayed due to technical issues. However, the final vote will now have to be delayed until April 2023.

El Salvador has received a lot of attention in recent months as it switched to Bitcoin. The country's president, Nayib Bukele, is so confident in Bitcoin that he plans to buy one BTC every day, despite media criticism. Experts noted that the country is setting an example in the Arab region, which may On January 03, the Israel Securities Authori- ty (ISA) announced planned on establishing a new regulatory framework for digital assets. The ISA noted that the government intends to amend the country's existing securities regulations. As per the proposal, the country's regulations would be amended to incorporate digital assets into existing securities regulations, potentially classifying most crypto assets as financial investments regulated by the ISA. ISA noted that the goal of this proposal is to protect investors while also allowing for the distinctive features of cryptocurrencies. Experts believe that the upcoming amended crypto regulation would undoubtedly assist the Israeli crypto market to expand even more.

  • 21. www.coingabbar.com On January 16, the National Tax Agency of Japan issued guidelines for taxing NFT transactions, including those involving blockchain gaming. The guidelines were issued by the authorities, and they offer a simplified approach to taxing these large and frequent transactions. While Japan is taxing digital collectables, the country is also interested in the web3 indus- try. In recent months, several events have transpired, including a proposed tax cut by crypto enthusiasts in order to keep compe- tence in the country. In addition, the country is also attempting to revive its economy by prioritizing the metaverse. To sum up, the month of January witnessed the continuation of policy reforms pertain- ing to digital assets. The crypto community believes that the increased regulation and control have helped to reduce unlawful activities like money laundering and fraud in the near future. However, the reforms have also made it more difficult for legitimate businesses to operate in the sector. Despite these challenges, the overall senti- ment in the industry remains positive, as many believe that these changes will ultimately lead to greater mainstream acceptance and adoption of cryptocurren- cies. Overall, the crypto policy changes in January 2023 have been a step in the right direction toward building a more secure and trustworthy cryptocurrency ecosystem.

  • 23. I started my career in the early 90s as a hacker. Those were the days of Solaris, FreeBSD, Windows NT & Novell NetWare. My lifelong love affair with Cryptography started when I chanced upon David Chaum's work on blind digital signatures and the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by Menezes, Oorschot & Vanstonemy. In 1999, I co-founded the Asian School of Cyber Laws. Over the next 16 years, I worked in cyber investigation & cyber law. I proudly count some of the best investigators & lawyers among my students. I have also had the privilege of assisting the Govt. of India in framing draft rules under the Infor- mation Technology Act. My work spanned 18 countries and I have investigated cyber crimes & data breaches for hundreds of organizations across many sectors - from aerospace & banking to law enforcement, pharma & shipping. I also had the privilege of leading the teams that devel- oped "The Collaborative Online Investiga- tion Network" & the "ASCL Volatile Evidence Retrieval Tool". I authored the Cyber Crime Investigation Manual, which has been referred to as a "bible for cybercrime investigators" by the Times of India. I authored the Cyber Crime Investigation Manual, which has been referred to as a "bible for cybercrime investigators" by the Times of India. In 2016, I co-founded BankChain - a commu- nity of 37 banks plus IBM, Microsoft & Intel. Our core product was a "self-building" blockchain ecosystem with a web app, PWA, and a Blockchain REST API service. The proj- ect went into hibernation in early 2018 after the Reserve Bank of India's ban on crypto. I continued as a Blockchain Architect for some very interesting projects. In 2020, after the Supreme Court struck down the RBI ban, I became actively involved with the crypto industry. Currently, I am the Chief Blockchain Architect of the Hybrid Finance Blockchain (HyFi).

  • 24. HYFI Blockchain is a permissioned Layer-1 Blockchain with distributed consensus between identified block validators. It has full support for data privacy, KYC, AML, CFT & other regulatory compliances. HYFI's core product is FLIPs. A fractional License of Intellectual Property (FLIP), is a type of digital asset that represents fractional ownership of a specific intellectual property, such as art, books, movies, music, software & video games. FLIPs are a new asset class that allows for the fractionalization & tokenization of intellectual property rights on the HYFI Blockchain. This means that creators can now monetize their intel- lectual property rights in a more efficient, cost-effective, and transparent way. With the use of FLIPs, creators can now sell a small percentage of their intellectual property rights to multiple investors, allowing them to raise capital while still retaining ownership of their work. This also enables investors to purchase a small stake in a piece of intellectual property, making it accessible to a wider range of people. Additionally, FLIPs can be traded on the HYFI Marketplace, allowing for a secondary market for these assets to exist. FLIPs can also be securely stored in the HYFI Wallet. www.coingabbar.com Tell us about HyFi. What is HyFi and Why does the world need it? Q. HyFi can help budding artists, authors, filmmakers, musicians, and tech startups make more money. And how is HyFi helpful to a newbie? Q. I first heard of Bitcoin in 2011, when I was assisting the police in a case involving the drug mafia. I found the concept fascinating and even mined some bitcoins. And then I made one of my biggest mistakes. I "deleted" my bitcoins! In 2015, I decided to move into the blockchain space. I barricaded myself at home and spent 4 months studying bitcoin technology and setting up multichain blockchains. Since then it's been a When did you decide to dive into the blockchain space?

  • 25. www.coingabbar.com Yes, it's true! But I don't want to think about it anymore :-) Is it true that you deleted your Bitcoins? How many did you delete and do you regret doing that? Q. Anything can be hacked! You can have the best security systems in the world and you still can get hacked! That does not mean we give up on security. It means that we have to plan for the inevitable! Would you like to share the wisdom you gained while working as a cybercrime investigator & forensic expert? Q. All the projects I have worked on are awesome. But what I really like about HYFI is that we are using blockchain to the maximum for solving 3 massive global problems: - Traditional methods for managing & monetizing intellectual property rights in the art, books, movies, music, software & video games industry are inefficient, costly, and lack transparency. - Creators are not connected to the end-consumers. This results in limited engagement & monetization. -Investors do not have access to high-growth Intellectual Property assets. You’ve worked with multiple blockchain projects in the past, how HyFi is different and better than the rest of them? Q. I believe that there is only one blockchain use case - Smart Asset Lifecycle Manage- ment. This includes issuance, transfer, exchange, escrow, reissuance, redemption, one-way payments, atomic transfers, multi-sig transactions, retirement, and destruction. A blockchain smart asset is the digital representation of a real-world asset (e.g. gold, equity shares, fiat currency, copy- right license, etc.). The blockchain removes the characteristic of infinite reproducibility from a digital asset. It confirms that each unit of value was transferred only once, solving the long-standing problem of double spend- ing. A blockchain can assign title rights because it provides a record that compels offer and acceptance. So any project which relies on the Smart Asset Lifecycle Man- agement capability of blockchains will do well. Other projects will fail. What do you think about the future of blockchains?

  • 26. www.coingabbar.com Misconception 1 Many people think that blockchain and cryptocurrencies are the same things. They do not know that blockchain is a technology and cryptocurrency is a use case. Misconception 2 Many people think that all blockchain tokens are the same and have no real-world value. They do not know that there are many types of tokens - currencies, utility coins, gover- nance tokens, subscription tokens, etc. You have a long list of publications; what, according to you, are the most common misconceptions people have about blockchain and crypto? Q. I think India has taken a very good approach to blockchain and crypto regulation. Specula- tive cryptocurrencies have been defined as Virtual Digital Assets (VDA) and taxed at 30% with no offsets except the cost of acquisition. But several solid tokens are not considered VDAs - gift cards & vouchers, mileage points, reward points, loyalty cards, and subscriptions to websites, platforms, and applications Where, according to you, does India stand when it comes to blockchain and crypto regulation in the country? Q. Think beyond crypto! Blockchain is so much more than crypto.

  • 27. www.coingabbar.com Learn with Gabbar Blockchain technology is no longer just a buzzword associated with cryptocurrencies; it is revolutionizing several industries world- wide. It has a wide range of use cases, from finance to supply chain management. Busi- nesses are using blockchain to create new revenue streams and secure their data. But what makes this technology practical is the consensus mechanism that lies at its core. The consensus mechanism ensures smooth functioning among participants in a block- chain network. Imagine a distributed network where every vote is counted, with each participant having the same rights. Also, every transaction is verified by the decision made with a majority of votes, and that too without any need for a central authority. It's exactly what consen- sus mechanisms enable in the world of blockchain technology. Let’s explore consen- sus mechanisms and some of the most com- monly used options available. What is Consensus Mechanism? Consensus Mechanisms in Blockchain Here, "consensus” refers to a general agree- ment or understanding among a group of people or entities. For example, a group of friends decides on a restaurant to eat at. They each suggest different options, but through discussion and negotiation, they reach an agreement on one restaurant to go to. Everyone agrees on the decision, and that's their consensus. n the context of distributed systems and blockchain, "consensus" is the process of reaching an agreement on the state of the system among all the participating nodes. For example, while verifying a transaction in the blockchain, validators can reach a consensus on the state that whether the transaction is legitimate or not. Consensus in a blockchain network is achieved through the use of a consensus mechanism. Consensus Mechanisms are algorithms or protocols that are designed to ensure that all nodes in the system agree on the same state. These are simply the algorithms used to reach consensus on a Blockchain. Differ- ent nodes may have different views of the system's state due to network delays, failures, or malicious actors. A consensus mechanism ensures that all nodes in the system agree on the same state.

  • 28. www.coingabbar.com How does a Consensus Mechanism Work? The consensus mechanism includes several steps to get a response from the access nodes. Nodes need to validate transactions to ensure that they are legitimate. Transactions are grouped into blocks and added to the blockchain. The consensus mechanism is used to reach an agreement among the nodes on which block should be added next. An algorithm may require at least 51% of nodes to reply to reach a consensus or agreement on a data value or transaction. The purpose of the blockchain is defined by the consensus algorithm employed by it. Each consensus mechanism has its own way to reach an agreement. Commonly used Consensus Mechanisms Consensus Mechanism Feature Pros Cons Use cases A consensus mechanism is a choice that organizations and blockchain developers make with an understanding of the desired outcome. There are several different types of consensus mechanisms, each having its own strengths and weaknesses Proof of Work (PoW) Miners (nodes) compete to solve a difficult mathematical puzzle. The first miner to solve a puzzle using computational power adds a block to the blockchain and gets rewards. More secure, as it requires a significant amount of computational power to carry out an attack. Slow transaction processing. Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Dogecoin. High energy consumption. Centralization of mining power. Mining requires expensive computational equipment. Widely estab- lished and proven effec- tive. First, the validators are selected based on certain criteria, the block is added to the chain, and then rewards are distributed to the validators in the form of native cryptocurrency. For exam- ple, in Proof-of-Work (PoW), the node that solves a complex mathematical puzzle first (using computational power) gets the right to add the following block and take rewards. While in Proof-of-Stake (PoS), the node that holds the most coins gets the right to add the next block. Whenever the next block is added to the blockchain, all nodes in the network update their copies of the blockchain to ensure that they are all in the same state.

  • 29. www.coingabbar.com Proof of Stake (PoS) Nodes use their own cryptocurrency to participate in block validation. Then Validators are selected randomly based on the size of the cryptocurrency they stake in to participate. A higher stake means a higher chance of selection in the validating process. Highly scalable and enable faster transac- tion processing. Low energy consumption. Reduced risk of centralization. Cost-effective as there is no need for expen- sive hardware. Highly depen- dent on valida- tors to be honest. Vulnerability to reorganization attack. Inadequate security as an attacker can easily obtain a large number of coins and can control the network. Bitcoin, LitecEthere- um 2.0, Cardano, & Polkadotoin, and Doge- coin. Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) Users in the network use their stake or coins to vote for candidates or dele- gates. The top delegates are elect- ed to validate trans- actions and add new blocks. Increased speed and scalability. Low energy consumption. Less Hardware is required Less secure, and a 51 percent attack is easier to carry out. Possibility of vote buying. Trust issues related to Candidates Bitshares, Steem, Lisk, and Ark Proof of Burn (PoB) Nodes burn coins by sending them to an address from which they cannot be recovered. The validators are then selected at random, with the probability of selection propor- tional to the number of coins burned Secure and resistant to Sybil attacks. Energy efficient. Cost-effective and less hard- ware required a compared to PoW. Wastage of resources in terms of burned coins. Lack of incen- tives for burn- ing. More complex to implement. Slimcoin Editorial Global Market Watch Features of the Month Changes in Policy Rendezvous with Founders Learn with Gabbar Gabbar Archives January, 2023 28
  • 30. www.coingabbar.com Proof of Activity (PoA) Uses a hybrid approach of PoW and PoS. First, block is mined using the PoW approach. Then block is sent to a group of valida- tors, who use PoS to validate it and ensure that it is legitimate. If the block is valid, the miner is rewarded. A more scalable approach than PoW. Increased security and fault tolerance due to the combined approach. Less computa- tionally inten- sive than PoW. Complex to implement than other consensus mechanisms. Still requires computational power to mine blocks. Reliant on Validators Decred Proof of Capacity (PoC) Nodes contribute disk space to the network, which is then used for gener- ating a large number of hashes. The node with the most hashes will validate the block and get incentivized. A low-cost investment in terms of hard- ware, as it only needs a hard drive to store the hashes. More energy efficient. Mining data can be easily erased, and the drive can be reused for other purposes. Vulnerability to disk failure can affect mining activities. Risk of data breaches and manipulation. Burstcoin Proof of Authority (PoA) is Used in private blockchains where the organization controls and selects validators based on their identities. No possibility of malicious nodes or bad actors because partici- pation is only permitted after identity authenti- cation. Centralized validators are pre-approved.

  • 31. www.coingabbar.com Validators have the right to add the transaction to the next block and broadcast it to the rest of the network. Very high throughput. Fewer computa- tional resources are required. Not suitable for public networks as the identity of validators are accessible to anyone. Heavily reliant on validators Proof of History (PoH) Uses timestamps to validate transactions. Nodes generate a hash of the network's current state. These hashes are then arranged into a Merkle tree, with the root of the tree representing the network's entire state. This root hash is then used as the timestamp for the next block and is used by other nodes to validate transactions High through- put and the ability to handle a large number of transactions. More secure due to the timestamping used for valida- tion. Lower transac- tion fees. Limited use cases and adaptability. Less decentral- ized as the timestamping node may have more power and influence than other nodes Solana Proof of Elapsed Time (PoET) Network assigns a random wait time to each node. The node with the shortest wait time is selected to create the next block. Energy efficient, as it uses a random wait time algorithm instead of any computing power. Cost-effective for businesses. Only compatible with closed or permissioned networks. Less decentral- ized and can be manipulated.

  • 32. www.coingabbar.com Proof of Importance (PoI Nodes on the network are given an importance score based on several factors, including transaction history, network reputation, and other metrics. The node with the highest importance score creates the next block. This block is then broad- cast to the network, where it is validated by the other nodes Fairness due to the influence of several factors. Energy efficient. Identity-based Limited applica- tions. Centralized. Complexity in implementation due to the scoring system NEM Blockchains are able to maintain a level of decentralization and scalability due to their consensus mechanism. The consensus mechanism defines the fundamentals and proper- ties of blockchain as well as its domain of application. It is like the heart of a blockchain; it decides how the network operates, who has the power to validate transactions, and how new blocks are added to the chain. There are several consensus algorithms, each with its own set of pros and cons. But there is no one-size-fits-all solution for all blockchains. Different types of blockchains will use different consensus algorithms. Businesses and organizations should select a consensus mechanism that fulfils their specific needs and objectives.
