Fintech Pioneer Fuses Blockchain and Dedicated Content Delivery Network to Replace Broken 48-Hour Legacy Banking Rails with Instant, Ultra-Low-Fee Transactions

TaqFlow, a next-generation cross-border payment platform engineered specifically for Central Asian corridors, announced its official emergence from stealth mode and the public launch of pre-orders for its high-speed financial network. The platform solves the region’s most critical commercial pain points: slow settlement times, high transaction fees, and crippling currency volatility.

Unlike traditional financial institutions, the team behind TaqFlow is comprised entirely of digital nomads who have spent years traveling, living, and operating businesses across different countries. Having managed international operations on the move, the founders intimately understand the severe friction, predatory fees, and operational bottlenecks tied to cross-border capital movement.

“The spark for TaqFlow happened on a beach in Bali, of all places,” said co-founder Giorgi Beridze. “I was speaking with one of my eventual co-founders, who was venting about the sheer frustration of moving money between Georgia and Kazakhstan. The transaction took over two days to clear. In that short window, currency fluctuations ate away at the capital, costing him the equivalent of several hundred euros. It was a lightbulb moment for both of us. As nomads, we knew this pain intimately. We realized that the existing cross-border rails in Central Asia were fundamentally broken—exposed to systemic delays, unpredictable volatility, and unnecessary costs.”

TaqFlow eliminates these systemic bottlenecks by introducing a proprietary, dual-layer architecture built entirely from scratch. The platform is harnessing the innate speed and cryptographic security of the blockchain, layering it beneath a custom-built, dedicated content delivery network (CDN). This physical infrastructure will bypass standard public internet latency, allowing TaqFlow to route, read, and settle B2B transactions in mere seconds at a fraction of standard banking fees.

The rapid velocity of the platform removes the financial limbo that historically stifled trade along the historic Silk Road corridors, which inspired the company’s name. A “Taq” was the historic domed archway where ancient global merchants gathered to exchange currency; TaqFlow has modernized this concept into a digital gateway.

“As a young startup, our greatest asset is that we aren’t saddled by legacy systems or yesterday’s way of thinking,” a co-founder continued. “Traditional institutions are trapped inside layers of obsolete technical debt. This blank slate allows us to build cleaner, operate with zero friction, and pass those massive cost savings directly to our customers. We are already looking at how we can incorporate AI natively into our infrastructure to push processing speeds even higher and completely transform the cross-border customer experience.”

The launch arrives at a pivotal moment. Institutional investors from Europe, the Americas, and the Gulf region are increasingly turning their attention toward Central Asia’s rapidly growing economic landscape. TaqFlow aims to act as the primary financial bedrock that enables this influx of global capital to reach local markets seamlessly.

“The Central Asian economy has been overlooked for far too long,” co-founder Logan Jenkins noted. “When we look back five years from now, our greatest legacy won’t just be the volume of capital we processed; it will be the community of small businesses and startups we lifted up. We want to be the foundation that helps young enterprises get off the ground, seamlessly scale across borders, protect their hard-earned margins, and grow at velocities they never thought possible.”

TaqFlow is now accepting pre-orders from businesses and corporate partners across authorized Central Asian corridors. Enterprises looking to optimize their cross-border liquidity and eliminate transaction delays can learn more or request platform access by visiting TaqFlow’s launch page.

United States, 1st Aug 2026 – Across the United States, sobriety is increasingly being embraced as a lifestyle rooted in wellness, purpose, and authentic connection rather than simply as recovery from addiction. As more people choose alcohol-free living and openly celebrate their personal milestones, demand is growing for meaningful sober merch, thoughtful sobriety gifts, and premium sober clothing that reflect resilience, identity, and hope.

This cultural shift is taking place alongside the rapid growth of the broader sober movement. Today, the Loosid ecosystem—which includes its sober community, recovery resources, marketplace, and lifestyle brand—has grown to more than 450,000 installs, generated 21.8 million user sessions, and helped facilitate nearly 198,000 friendships, highlighting the increasing demand for supportive, recovery-focused communities.

Rather than viewing sobriety as giving something up, many Americans now see it as gaining healthier relationships, stronger mental well-being, greater purpose, and a more intentional way of living. That evolving perspective is also changing how recovery is celebrated, creating demand for products that recognize progress, encourage conversations, and remind people of how far they have come.

Helping lead that conversation is Get Loosid, the lifestyle merchandise division of the Loosid brand. Built by people with lived recovery experience, Get Loosid was created to help individuals celebrate recovery proudly through meaningful products that represent strength, perseverance, and personal transformation.

The inspiration behind the brand is deeply personal.

Loosid was co-founded by MJ Gottlieb, whose own recovery journey revealed a challenge faced by many people entering sobriety: maintaining an alcohol-free lifestyle in a world where social activities often revolve around drinking. After achieving sobriety, Gottlieb envisioned a community that would prove sober living is not the end of fun but the beginning of a healthier and more fulfilling life. That vision ultimately grew into the Loosid ecosystem and later expanded with Get Loosid, giving people meaningful ways to celebrate their recovery every day.

Today, that philosophy resonates with a growing audience. More individuals are embracing the sober lifestyle not only because of recovery, but because they value wellness, mindfulness, and authentic relationships. Friends and family members are also looking for thoughtful ways to recognize important milestones, fueling demand for recovery gifts, personalized sobriety gifts, and keepsakes that celebrate resilience rather than focusing on past struggles.

Recovery experts have long recognized the importance of acknowledging milestones. Whether someone is celebrating thirty days, one year, or decades of sobriety, recognizing those achievements can reinforce confidence, strengthen accountability, and encourage continued progress.

As a result, soberversary gifts have become increasingly meaningful. Rather than giving generic presents, loved ones are choosing personalized items that commemorate sobriety anniversaries, birthdays, and personal accomplishments with messages that carry lasting emotional significance.

Get Loosid has responded to this growing movement by focusing on quality, personalization, and purpose instead of novelty merchandise.

One of the company’s most popular offerings is its personalized sobriety-date jewelry, allowing individuals to carry a daily reminder of the commitment they’ve made to themselves. Each piece serves as more than an accessory—it becomes a symbol of perseverance, hope, and the promise of another sober day.

Another favorite is the company’s customized “Sober Since” apparel, including premium sober t-shirts and sober hoodies that transform important recovery milestones into wearable expressions of pride. Rather than simply displaying a date, these pieces encourage meaningful conversations while helping individuals celebrate achievements they once thought impossible.

Get Loosid also offers thoughtfully designed artwork inspired by recovery, resilience, and transformation. Through inspirational décor featuring recognizable recovery symbols and meaningful addiction art, individuals can create personal spaces that reflect optimism, gratitude, and continued growth. These pieces serve as daily reminders that recovery is not defined by what has been left behind but by everything that has been gained.

For many members of the recovery community, these products represent something much larger than merchandise. They become visible reminders that recovery deserves recognition and that every milestone—regardless of how big or small—is worth celebrating.

This message aligns closely with Loosid’s broader mission of helping change public perception surrounding sobriety. Rather than allowing recovery to remain hidden by stigma, the company encourages individuals to celebrate their journeys openly, inspiring others while helping normalize sober living as a positive and fulfilling lifestyle.

That mission has already helped build one of the nation’s fastest-growing sober communities. Through the Loosid platform, members can connect with peers, track sobriety milestones, access recovery resources, discover wellness opportunities, and build meaningful relationships within a supportive environment dedicated to long-term success.

As the sober lifestyle movement continues to expand, consumers are increasingly seeking brands that reflect authenticity, purpose, and community rather than simply selling products. Industry trends suggest this demand will continue as more Americans prioritize wellness, intentional living, and meaningful self-expression through the products they choose and the stories they share.

Looking ahead, Get Loosid plans to continue developing premium collections that celebrate every stage of the recovery journey while supporting the larger mission of the Loosid ecosystem. By combining thoughtful design with lived experience, the company hopes to inspire more conversations that replace stigma with understanding and shame with pride.

The future of sober living is no longer defined by what people leave behind—it is defined by the lives they build, the communities they create, and the milestones they celebrate together.

1.24 billion tokens. 12,000 model requests. 29 confirmed vulnerabilities in a platform hardened by a decade of independent audits. One of the most extensive public studies to date on LLM-driven vulnerability research.

Italy, 1st Aug 2026 –  What happens when you point a frontier AI model at real-world, battle-tested software and ask it to think like an attacker? ISGroup, the Italian offensive-security firm with two decades of experience in penetration testing and security research, set out to answer that question – and has now published the results in “What Can an Attacker Find With an LLM?”, a large-scale study that places Italy at the forefront of global research on AI-assisted security analysis.

The target was no soft one. ISGroup chose GlobaLeaks, the open-source whistleblowing platform trusted by newsrooms, corporations, and public institutions worldwide to protect sources – software refined over more than a decade and already subjected to multiple independent security audits. If AI could still find real flaws there, it could find them anywhere.

It did. Using frontier models from Anthropic and OpenAI, ISGroup processed approximately 1.24 billion tokens across 12,000 model requests, generating 110 candidate findings. Every single one was manually triaged by ISGroup’s researchers, who treated each model output as a hypothesis to be proven, not a conclusion to be trusted. The final tally: 29 confirmed vulnerabilities, 12 denial-of-service issues, and 42 hardening observations – all responsibly disclosed to the GlobaLeaks team before publication, with the most critical issues already fixed. The net result: stronger protection for whistleblowers and journalists around the world.

Beyond the findings themselves, the study delivers something the international security community has been asking for: hard numbers. ISGroup documents the real costs, the methodology – including a defined threat model, a taxonomy of software weakness classes, and strict evidence requirements – and the honest limitations of the approach: false positives, non-deterministic results, and the non-negotiable need for expert human validation.

The strategic implication is significant. Reviewing an entire codebase – an effort that until recently demanded weeks of specialist work and substantial budgets – can now be done more broadly, more continuously, and at a fraction of the cost.

“Artificial intelligence does not replace specialist expertise, but it increases the amount of code a team can analyse and reduces the cost of doing so,” said Francesco Ongaro, founder of ISGroup. “Experts still have the decisive role of distinguishing a plausible hypothesis from a real vulnerability.”

With this publication, ISGroup adds to a growing body of research that demonstrates how European – and specifically Italian – security expertise is shaping the global conversation on AI and offensive security.

The full report, including methodology, costs, and complete results, is available at: https://www.isgroup.biz/en/cyber-security/llm-based-code-security-review-costs-findings-methodology.html

About ISGroup: ISGroup is an Italian cybersecurity company specialising in offensive security, penetration testing, and security research, serving clients internationally with a research-driven approach to protecting critical software and infrastructure.

Notes for Editors

Francesco Ongaro is available for interviews and technical briefings. A one-page summary of the methodology and aggregated data on model usage are available upon request.

World of Doors is offering a $149 Back-to-School Garage Door Tune-Up with Safety Inspection for Chicagoland homeowners this August, with only 100 spots available and an Elite Club upgrade to lock in future annual savings and benefits.

New Lenox, IL, United States, 1st Aug 2026 – World of Doors, a New Lenox-based garage door company serving homeowners across Chicagoland, is launching its Back-to-School Garage Door Safety Special to help families prepare for busier morning routines, school drop-offs, sports schedules, and everyday garage use.

For a limited time in August, homeowners can schedule a Garage Door Tune-Up with Safety Inspection for $149, regularly $199. Only 100 August spots are available for this seasonal safety special, which is designed to help families identify worn parts, noisy operation, sensor issues, opener concerns, and other common garage door problems before the school year begins.

As back-to-school season approaches, many Chicagoland families rely on their garage doors multiple times per day. Kids may be moving bikes, backpacks, and sports equipment in and out of the garage, while parents are often rushing through tighter morning and evening routines. World of Doors is encouraging homeowners to make sure their garage door opens, closes, reverses, and operates safely before household schedules get busier.

“A garage door is one of the largest moving objects in your home, and small issues like sensors that are slightly out of alignment or springs under the wrong tension can turn into safety hazards fast,” said Sean McGuire, Lead Technician at World of Doors. “Back-to-school season is a great time for Chicagoland homeowners to get ahead of it, before the door is opening and closing a dozen times a day.”

The $149 Back-to-School Garage Door Tune-Up with Safety Inspection may include a review of key garage door components such as safety sensors, springs, cables, rollers, tracks, opener function, door balance, hardware, and moving parts. If the technician finds worn or unsafe components, homeowners receive clear repair recommendations.

Homeowners who want to continue receiving this special tune-up value in future years can upgrade to the World of Doors Elite Club Membership. The membership allows homeowners to lock in the $149 annual tune-up and safety inspection price for years to come, while also receiving added benefits throughout the year.

Elite Club Membership benefits include:

• 10% discount on all new door and operator packages
• 15% discount on all parts
• 50% off emergency service rate
• Surge protector on each opener
• Priority scheduling with a guaranteed appointment within 24 hours
• Annual battery replacements for remote controls and keypads
• Lifetime warranty on any part World of Doors replaces

Details and enrollment are available on the Garage Door Specials page.

World of Doors provides garage door repair, garage door installation, garage door opener service, garage door tune-ups, and safety inspections across Chicagoland, including New Lenox, Frankfort, Mokena, Manhattan, Joliet, Orland Park, Tinley Park, Homer Glen, Lockport, and surrounding suburbs.

Homeowners are encouraged to schedule their August garage door tune-up early, as only 100 spots are available for the Back-to-School Garage Door Safety Special.

Entry to Heaven: $7.77. Entry to Hell: $6.66. Both gates: $14.43. Closing-period pricing in effect. All sales are final, in this life and the next.

NEW YORK CITY, NY, July 31, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — The Church of Conceptual Art today announces the public sale of admission to the afterlife. Effective immediately, any person may purchase a named, non-transferable, never-expiring ticket to Heaven, to Hell, or, for the prudent, to both, at afterlife.churchofconceptualart.org.

People have always paid for their place in the next world: tithes, indulgences, endowed masses. The Church of Conceptual Art has made the transaction direct. Payment is the qualification. There is no assessment of conduct, no review of a life, no ceremony, and no waiting to find out. The purchaser selects a destination, the payment clears the world financial system, and the contract is complete for the named holder. Nothing else is asked of the holder, in this life or afterward.

Instruments available for clearing

TICKET TO HEAVEN (H-777). Standing schedule $777.00, clearing at $7.77 for the duration of the closing period. Your place, paid for in advance.

TICKET TO HELL (D-666). Standing schedule $666.00, clearing at $6.66. Your debt, settled in advance. Some people would rather choose it than be sent. This is how you choose it.

BOTH GATES (HD-1443). Standing schedule $1,443.00, clearing at $14.43. Covered either way.

Passes may be purchased for oneself or issued as a gift in another person’s name, with the payor recorded as the party who cleared the obligation. You may secure entry for someone who would never secure it themselves.

Tickets may also be issued to no name at all, admitting whoever holds them.

The record

Every cleared transaction is committed to a public, append-only register secured by a SHA-256 hash chain: each entry carries a hash computed over its own contents and the hash of the entry before it, so altering any entry breaks every entry that follows. The record is published in full, uses no secret, can be recomputed by anyone, and is never amended.

Salvation, for the first time, is independently auditable.

Five doors, one gate

The offering is sold through five storefronts, each a complete architecture of belief:

THE TERMINAL: afterlife.churchofconceptualart.org/terminal/ : a financial clearing interface. SKUs, settlement, specimen data. The afterlife as an instrument class.

GEOCITIES: afterlife.churchofconceptualart.org/geocities/ : a 1998 web shrine, complete with webring, visitor counter, and a page that is under construction and will be finished before the end. Best viewed in Netscape Navigator 4.0.

HEAVEN: afterlife.churchofconceptualart.org/heaven : the white door. HELL: afterlife.churchofconceptualart.org/hell : the black door.

THE MONOLITH: afterlife.churchofconceptualart.org/monolith/ : the door that does not explain itself.

The destination is identical through every door. The purchaser chooses the aesthetic of their conversion.

Statements

“Every religion in history has sold this product,” said Paul-Alexander Pissarro, co-founder of the Church of Conceptual Art. “We are simply the first to publish the price, the terms, and the ledger. The Church does not ask you to be good. It asks you to be a customer, which the record suggests is the more honest relationship.”

The respective afterlife administrations were contacted and did not respond by press time. Under the terms of sale, gate intake procedures, processing speeds, and secondary audits by spiritual gatekeepers remain solely at the discretion of those administrations.

Terms and classification

Named passes are non-transferable once issued. Bearer passes, issued to no name, admit whoever holds them and are the only transferable instrument. All passes carry no expiry and cannot be cancelled, amended, or refunded under any circumstance. A holder who wishes to secure the other destination may purchase that pass in addition; the existing pass remains in force regardless. While capitalism holds weight in the hereafter, earthly regulatory bodies require the Church to state that these passes are distributed as conceptual art objects, constitute no legally binding contract with any recognized terrestrial religious institution, and confer no rights, goods, or services in this life. All sales are final, both in this life and the next.
