Canoo’s Oklahoma Plant Becomes First Automotive Foreign-Trade Zone In The State, Cutting Red Tape And Reducing Fees

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Canoo Inc. (NASDAQ: GOEV), the high-tech advanced mobility company churning out fully electric lifestyle vehicles, just got the final nod from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for its Oklahoma City operations to become the first automotive Foreign-Trade Zone in the state. Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZs) are specially designated sites close to U.S. ports that importers and exporters use to move goods in and out of the country. Companies operating in FTZs pay reduced or zero duties, taxes or fees. FTZs help U.S. companies to compete better on the global stage by streamlining logistics, minimizing regulatory hurdles and better controlling inventory. Perks offered for being In Oklahoma City’s FTZ include duty elimination on previously imported material, materials that are re-exported, rejected, scrapped, wasted or return-to-vendor imported material and sales of imported materials or finished products containing imported components to companies operating in other U.S. FTZs. Duties are deferred for manufacturing in the U.S. and selling domestically. Other perks include just-in-time delivery, quotas and reduced customs delays, as well as the ability to hold merchandise in a foreign-trade zone indefinitely. Canoo Bolsters Oklahoma Plant Canoo’s Oklahoma plant, which the company opened last April, occupies close to 500,000 square feet, with the ability to expand, and can employ over 500 people at capacity! Canoo recently added to the Oklahoma plant’s occupancy by migrating its engineering workforce from California to the state. Canoo said one of the main reasons for the move to Oklahoma is to have engineering and manufacturing under one roof. The company said the strategic decision will “drive operational efficiencies and foster greater collaboration as Canoo continues to meet goals towards its step level ramp manufacturing.” That’s becoming a reality thanks in part to its two tranches of new or like-new advanced manufacturing assets, formerly owned by Arrival Automotive UK Limited, at its facility in Oklahoma City. The received assets will bolster in-house processes and enable higher cabin line production volumes in 2025, the company said. “We thank Oklahoma City Customs Port Director Pequano and the Dallas U.S. Customs and Border Protection Area Port office for the work, support and direction for the activation approval. It's great to get this milestone completed as it's part of a larger strategy with more to come,” said Tony Aquila, Investor, Executive Chairman and CEO of Canoo. The company said the FTZ is a big deal toward “harmonizing” its supply chain and protecting it from the whims of other countries. Being in the FTZ also provides stability against a tariff landscape that has the potential to change in 2025. Reimaging Fully Electric Vehicles Canoo makes a suite of fully electric delivery vehicles (LDVs) that are built on a modular design. The modular electric platform is designed to maximize vehicle interior space, enabling it to be customizable across owners and applications. With a robust lineup of electric LDVs, including delivery vehicles, pickup and lifestyle vehicle (LV), Canoo is attempting to do to the commercial transportation market what Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) did to the consumer EV market with its lineup of sedans, SUV and truck. It doesn’t hurt that Canoo makes its LDVs with what it says are eco-friendly materials with the smallest footprint. Canoo’s delivery vehicles are designed to be modular, built for global roads and a variety of commercial uses. Canoo is focused on driving value for fleets by reducing total cost of ownership and maximizing utilization through software solutions and customized upfitting. It also sticks to a clean, minimalist shape that has gotten recognition, most recently receiving several Red Dot Design Awards. The Red Dot Award is an annual international competition recognizing excellence in design and among the world’s largest design competitions, validating Canoo’s approach to design.

OCEAN Restoring Bitcoin Mining Decentralization

Bitcoin Ocean,LLC

OCEAN, a leader in Bitcoin mining-pool innovation, is proud to announce the launch of DATUM (Decentralized Alternative Templates for Universal Mining), a revolutionary decentralized mining protocol designed to restore the original ethos of Bitcoin mining. DATUM empowers miners to reclaim control over block template construction, ensuring the Bitcoin network remains secure, decentralized, and resistant to centralization threats such as financial censorship. OCEAN’s lead investor and decentralization advocate Jack Dorsey applauded the news saying “Continued decentralization and permissionless mining are essential for Bitcoin’s long term health. OCEAN's latest innovation with DATUM makes decentralization easier for modern miners." What is DATUM? Bitcoin mining has drifted from its decentralized origins. Today, large mining pools dominate the creation of block templates—the structure that determines which transactions are included in a block. This concentration of power undermines the security and legitimacy of the Bitcoin network. DATUM changes that by giving individual miners, not pools, the ability to construct their own block templates while still participating in a pool for consistent rewards. Similar to Stratum V2 (Sv2), DATUM is designed to decentralize block construction and restore control to individual miners. Jason Hughes, VP of Engineering at OCEAN and author of the DATUM codebase, commented “DATUM is a leap forward in decentralized mining, making true mining available for everyone with as little friction as possible. It enables miners to be actual solo miners and to do all of the things miners were always intended to do for the Bitcoin network, while still reducing their variance through pooled rewards. The codebase is written in C. It is extremely lightweight and portable so it can easily run alongside a Bitcoin full node.” Why Does This Matter? With large pools now controlling more than 50% of Bitcoin’s hash rate, the network faces a serious centralization risk. This raises the possibility of transaction censorship, weakening the very foundation of Bitcoin. DATUM provides a solution by decentralizing block construction, helping to prevent 51% attacks and ensuring Bitcoin remains a free and open system. "The launch of DATUM is a pivotal moment for the Bitcoin mining community. We’re moving block creation back to the individual miners, just as it was intended in the original whitepaper," said Luke Dashjr, Co-founder of OCEAN. "With DATUM, we’re ensuring the security and decentralization of the Bitcoin network, safeguarding its future." About OCEAN: OCEAN is dedicated to advancing the decentralization of Bitcoin mining through innovative technology and cutting-edge solutions. With a focus on preserving Bitcoin’s original principles, OCEAN is committed to creating a secure, sustainable, and decentralized mining ecosystem.

WiSA's Datavault Technology Launches Academic Credential Verification Platform For Universities, Aims To Licence 20-30 To Institutions By 2025

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga The number of students graduating with either a bachelor’s, master’s or Ph.D. degree continues to increase, with over 2 million students graduating with a bachelor’s degree in 2022 and over 1 million students graduating with either a master’s degree or Ph.D. With more individuals attaining post-secondary education, the importance and need for ‘accreditation validation’ is growing. WISA’s (NASDAQ: WISA) Datavault technology offers a turnkey solution that universities and other stakeholders can utilize to verify academic credentials. Data Vault Holdings, which is under a definitive asset purchase agreement to sell its Datavault® and ADIO® IP and IT assets to WiSA, recently launched VerifyU, a platform developed in collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU) and its Luminosity Lab. VerifyU utilizes blockchain and artificial intelligence to provide secure, real-time academic credential verification. The platform's value proposition is its ability to efficiently verify and confirm the qualifications of individuals to stakeholder entities – such as educational institutions and prospective employers – or professional peer groups, such as research fellows. ASU’s Luminosity Lab, a think tank incubator dedicated to advancing technology and innovation, is VerifyU's inaugural partner. WiSA believes the platform’s focus on secure, efficient credential verification for students and external stakeholders resonates strongly with ASU as an academic institution. Executive Director of the ASU Knowledge Enterprise Mark Naufel stated: "VerifyU sets a new standard for secure, seamless credential verification that meets the essential needs of both educational institutions and employers. Our collaboration with Datavault has created a platform that combines academic institutions with practical, scalable solutions. VerifyU is helping to bring a much welcome change in the way academic credentials are verified by ensuring data integrity, reducing time and lowering costs for all parties involved." The global education verification service market is currently experiencing growth. In 2023, it was valued at $110 billion. By 2030, it is projected to reach $177 billion. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10% over 2024-2030. Current verification processes are often inefficient and vulnerable to fraud – research suggests that as many as 70% of job applicants provide false information on their resumes. VerifyU seeks to address this issue by offering real-time, secure verification of educational credentials, ultimately reducing both the time and cost associated with traditional verification methods and enhancing the process for employers, graduate schools and other interested parties. In monetizing the platform, Datavault aims to license VerifyU to 20 to 30 educational institutions by 2025, with the aim of revolutionizing the verification of academic qualifications. The initial contract with ASU is just the beginning of a broader rollout and will demonstrate how the platform can generate administrative cost savings and revenue. Additionally, VerifyU plans to charge students a one-time fee for lifetime access to the platform. WiSA’s Datavault promises to transform the landscape of academic credential verification in universities through the launch of VerifyU. By leveraging innovative blockchain and AI technologies, the initiative aims to provide a more reliable and efficient verification process, paving the way for partnerships with multiple educational institutions in the coming years. With the potential to save time and money, VerifyU could be set to become an essential tool for the growing number of graduates seeking employment and higher education opportunities.
