Blockchain for IoT Minima to Develop Ledger-Embedded Microchips With ARM

Published

on

Minima, a blockchain designed to manage transactions across the internet of things (IoT) comprising mobile phones, cars and other devices is working with semiconductor giant ARM to develop a microchip with a decentralized ledger embedded in it.

Under the agreement, announced Tuesday, Minima will work with ARM’s <a href=»https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.arm.com/products/flexible-access/startup__;!!PKfFmjksEw!2wNqj9jrp5al_ZLY9WCrDCASXnD6aR6y7iSO170PruUs2BKc9ZjBQErits6P8V4qYckQLtdsqAEhUs31eWS7MO_7$» target=»_blank»>Flexible Access Program</a>, which gives 70 or so startups access to the hardware giant’s intellectual property portfolio and chip design system. The “Minima Chip” will provide each device with a secure node capable of verifying data, generating tokens, enabling peer-to-peer messaging and generally bringing “blockchain everywhere,” the companies said.

The concept of IoT and blockchain first emerged with <a href=»https://www.iota.org/» target=»_blank»>projects like IOTA</a>, and the idea has become part of a wider trend in crypto known as decentralized physical infrastructure networks (<a href=»https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2024/04/16/depin-is-venture-capitalists-latest-crypto-obsession-can-it-match-the-hype» target=»_blank»>DePIN</a>), which includes use cases around telecoms (Helium) and storage (Filecoin).

Much of Minima’s effort to date has been in the auto industry, working with companies such as Volvo, running full nodes within the head units of cars to underpin things like telemetry data attestation, battery passports and enhancing EV charging flexibility using tokens generated by private wallbox charging devices.

Blockchain-embedded chips offer a sleek and secure design approach, as opposed to initial testing phases in a sandbox, when it’s fine to download software, said Minima CEO Hugo Feiler. For live enterprise deployment, it’s preferable to isolate the operations of the blockchain from the complexity of an existing tech stack by having it captured on a chip, he said.

Having each device do proof of work also brings a guarantee of decentralization, although the actual mining happens in a much more collaborative manner using the Minima consensus system, Feiler said.

He used the analogy of a motorway as a “classic example of a permissionless network.”

“It’s the road that everyone has to use, and you’ve got Volvos, Audis and Teslas etc that don’t trust each other, but they have to be able to trust the information and the data that is coming from those devices,” Feiler said in an interview. “So it’s about enabling secure communication between those vehicles, and transparent value as well, such as deployment across EV charging infrastructure.”

Neil Parris, ARM’s director of partner success and business models, said the access program accelerates startup innovation and time to market.

“With ARM Flexible Access, new players like Minima gain a streamlined, cost-efficient route to prototype development, giving them the freedom to experiment and design with confidence,” Parris said in a statement.

A Small Food Firm Buys 21 bitcoin, Jumping on BTC Treasury Trend, Shares Fall Anyways

Published

on

By

DDC Enterprise (DDC), an Asian food company, has announced the acquisition of 21 BTC as part of a long-term plan to incorporate the cryptocurrency into its corporate treasury.

The company, led by founder and CEO Norma Chu, exchanged 254,333 class A ordinary shares for BTC, in a transaction valued at roughly $2.28 million, according to a press release.

The move positions DDC among a growing cohort of public companies using BTC as a treasury asset. Two more purchases totaling 79 BTC are expected in the coming days, bringing the company’s initial holdings to 100 BTC.

In a shareholder letter issued last week, Chu outlined plans to accumulate up to 500 BTC within six months and aim for 5,000 BTC in three years.

While companies adopting bitcoin as a strategic treasury asset often see major price rises, DDC saw the opposite. The company’s shares dropped more than 12% on Friday’s trading session, while the S&P 500 dropped 0.6% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 1%.

DigiAsia (FAAS), for example, saw its share prices surge more than 90% in a single trading session after announcing a $100 million BTC treasury plan earlier this month.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has stabilized following significant price volatility, establishing a consolidation pattern between $0.00001440 and $0.00001456.

The meme token faced intense selling pressure with volume reaching 1.72 trillion during peak decline, but multiple tests of support at $0.00001440 showed strong buyer interest.

Despite short-term fluctuations, blockchain data reveals remarkable holder loyalty, with over 1.13 million addresses maintaining their positions for more than a year, signaling confidence in SHIB’s long-term prospects.

The Shiba Inu ecosystem continues development with a significant Shibarium blockchain update focused on improving decentralization. This aligns with the team’s strategy to enhance utility beyond meme status.

While technical indicators show mixed signals with moderate bullish momentum but lacking strong breakout confirmation, AI predictions from platforms like Google’s Gemini suggest potential growth to $0.00003 by 2025, representing a possible 105.9% increase from current levels.

Technical Analysis Highlights

  • SHIB experienced a notable 5.4% price decline over the 24-hour period, with the overall range spanning from a high of 0.00001507 to a low of 0.00001424, representing a volatility range of 0.00000083 (5.5%).
  • The token found strong volume-supported resistance at the 0.0000146 level during the 23:00 hour when selling pressure intensified with volume reaching 1.72 trillion, significantly above the 24-hour average.
  • After the sharp decline, SHIB established a consolidation pattern between 0.00001440 and 0.00001456, with multiple tests of support at 0.00001440 showing buyer interest, suggesting potential stabilization before the next directional move.
  • In the past hour, SHIB experienced significant downward pressure, dropping from 0.00001448 to 0.00001440, representing a 0.56% decline.
  • The token faced intense selling between 13:54-13:57, with volume spiking to 16.45 trillion at 13:57, creating a local bottom at 0.00001430.
  • A brief recovery attempt occurred at 14:01 when price rebounded to 0.00001441, forming a potential support zone between 0.00001439-0.00001440, though momentum remains bearish as evidenced by the inability to reclaim the 0.00001445 resistance level.
