Cardano Foundation Targets $1.7B Data Breach Threat With New Privacy Tools
The Cardano Foundation has rolled out Veridian, a new open-source platform aimed at helping people and businesses manage their digital identities, according to a Friday release.
Alongside it comes the Veridian Wallet, a tool designed to keep personal info secure and let users prove who they are online without the usual hassles of sharing sensitive data.
This launch comes at a time when proving one’s identity online is more important and riskier than ever. Whether it’s for healthcare, banking, shipping, or school records, current systems often leave data exposed, and with smart devices and AI popping up everywhere, those flaws are getting tougher to fix, the Foundation said.
“From healthcare and financial services to supply chains and academics, identity verification serves as the cornerstone of trust,” Thomas A. Mayfield, head of Decentralized Trust and Identity Solutions at Cardano Foundation, wrote in the release. “Despite this, existing solutions often fail to provide adequate security and credential control, resulting in frequent data breaches. Last year alone, 1.7 billion records were compromised in the United States.”
Veridian tackles this by letting users take control instead of handing their information to a central authority. It uses open, shared tools to ensure legitimate communication and check identities without a go-between.
There’s even an option to link it to the Cardano blockchain for added assurance. The Veridian Wallet ties it all together, letting people manage their details safely from their phones.
The wallet application is built for individuals and businesses alike, with options for companies to tweak it for their needs.

Creators of DeFi Firm Aave Launch Social Media Developer Network Lens Chain
Avara, the parent company of decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Aave, has announced the arrival of Lens Chain mainnet, a fast and inexpensive Ethereum overlay blockchain for developing decentralized social media applications.
There are now several blockchain-oriented, or “Web3,” startups looking to provide users with an alternative to the giant, centralized social media companies like Facebook and Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter).
To offer better alternatives to existing social media giants requires a fertile protocol level, according to Avara CEO Stani Kulechov. This means offering a developer-friendly layer 2 environment, propelled by composable features designed to unleash the economic potential of decentralized “SocialFi.”
“The direction we have taken with Lens in the past 12 months is to bring the best developer tooling for building on chain social experiences,” Kulechov said in an interview. “We chose the optimal stack to run Lens Chain where we get the lowest possible transaction in cost, but a sufficient amount of security for these social transactions.”
Lens Chain, a system that uses mathematical proofs to check the veracity of batched off-chain transactions, has its own dedicated stablecoin, Aave’s GHO, to handle gas fees, and its own decentralized data storage. A range of application building blocks are on offer to create things like composable social graphs, custom feeds, token-gated communities etc.
The blockchain has cemented partnerships with several DeFi and infrastructure projects including Uniswap, Balancer, LayerZero, Circle, Consensys and Chainlink.

Now you can buy a language for less than a gumball
Learning a new language usually means sitting in a stuffy classroom, memorizing flashcards, or committing to an expensive app subscription, until Qlango arrived on the scene. If you’ve ever bought a gumball at the grocery store, you’ve paid more than this app charges to pick up a new tongue!
If you’re someone who prefers a laid-back approach, enjoys a good game, and wants to learn words that actually stick, this could be the language-learning app that actually teaches you something. The app includes 56 new languages, and lifetime access to Qlango is only $39.99—yes, under 75 cents apiece (reg. $119.99).
Turn pocket change into language skills
We don’t have to explain the benefits of picking up a second, third, or 56th language, but knowing you have lifelong access to such a wealth of knowledge in your back pocket opens so many doors. New skills for your resume? Check. Connecting with your community? Check. Speaking local languages for travel? Triple check.
Forget dry grammar drills and endless lists of vocabulary. Qlango ditches the textbook approach and turns online language learning into a series of fun, engaging mini-games. Think word matching, trivia challenges, and even a foreign-language twist on those popular word-guessing puzzles.
And if you find yourself stuck on a tricky word or phrase? Qlango throws you a lifeline with helpful hints, keeping you motivated and moving forward.
Here’s the real secret sauce: Qlango understands that true learning comes from repetition, not just a fleeting glance. Unlike apps that let you move on after a single correct answer, Qlango keeps those words coming back until they’re firmly planted in your memory—it’s a scientifically backed method.

But the real reason to grab this deal? It lowers the barrier to entry. For people who want to learn a new language but have been priced out or overwhelmed by other methods, this turns a “someday” goal into something you can start immediately—without subscriptions, pressure, or guilt for skipping a day.
