d’Alba Premium Vegan Brand, White truffle first spray serum has exceeded 90,000 reviews

SEOUL, South Korea, March 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The white truffle first spray serum, the main product of premium vegan brand d’Alba, surpassed 10 million global cumulative sales in January this year. Despite the difficult market due to COVID-19 last year, the solid brand power in the domestic market allowed continuous increase in sales in the global market through e-commerce channels such as Amazon (USA), Qoo10 (Japan), Wildberries (Russia), and Shopee (Indonesia) etc.

d’Alba Premium Vegan Brand, White truffle first spray serum have exceeded 90,000 reviews
d’Alba Premium Vegan Brand, White truffle first spray serum have exceeded 90,000 reviews

The main product of d’Alba, the white truffle first spray serum, provides nutrients and hydration with a known superfood, avocado oil, and one of the rare and excellent antioxidants, white truffle infused essence, forming a double-layered structure. This all-in-one product can give both effects of a serum and a mist by simply shaking, so the oil and essence layers mix thoroughly, and spraying after cleansing. 

With its excellent ingredients, quality, and ease in use, d’Alba’s white truffle spray serum has recently achieved more than 90,000 reviews in “Naver SHOPPING”, Korea’s largest e-commerce channel. The record of 90,000 reviews for a single product is hardly found in other brands and other skincare categories, indicating that d’Alba has become a reliable brand for many consumers for a long time.

d’Alba is receiving good reviews not only from beauty creators but also from general consumers. During the year of 2021, a total of 1,262 beauty YouTubers in Korea voluntarily published a total of 24,510 unsponsored content with 4,221 brands. Among them, d’Alba ranked first in the skincare category, verifying that it is a brand loved by beauty creators. The d’Alba white truffle vital spray serum ranked first in the category after a fierce competition of 1,434 to 1.

The reason for the belief in d’Alba products from general consumers and beauty creators can be found in its excellent quality. Rare raw materials, especially the high quality Italian white truffles, are infused in all products, and all of them have completed hypoallergenic tests. Recently, it has been continuing its vegan campaign by obtaining the Italian vegan V-label certification, known for its pickiness, and releasing a ‘Suite Healing with d’Alba package’ through collaboration with Grand Hyatt Hotel, Seoul. Through this, d’Alba is ranked No. 1 in preference among vegan brands conducted by the Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute and is strengthening its branding as a premium vegan brand.

The d’Alba white truffle first spray serum is growing rapidly not only in Korea but also in United States. It has also been acknowledged in the U.S. market by receiving 455 ratings and 4.5/5.0 rating over the past year in Amazon. The d’Alba white truffle first spray serum entered TOP 100 of the Amazon ‘FACE MIST’ Category in December 2021. After an event was held in March to commemorate the 7th anniversary of d’Alba’s foundation, it ranked fifth in the ‘FACE MIST’ category.

Anycubic Unveils Kobra Series and Anycubic Photon M3 Series of 3D Printers

SHENZHEN, China, March 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Anycubic, a leading 3D printer manufacturer, today announced its Anycubic Kobra series and Anycubic Photon M3 series of 3D printers, featuring leading-edge Anycubic LeviQ auto bed leveling technology and Anycubic LighTurbo matrix light source that provides a radically improved user-friendly experience and superb print details.


“Anycubic’s brand-new Kobra series will debut two variations — Kobra and Kobra Max. With integrated structure and modular design, the Kobra series of 3D printers allow users to easily assemble the machine without requiring any soldering or complex mechanical assembly,” said James Ouyang, Vice President of Anycubic. “To further simplify the leveling process, we upgraded the automatic calibration system to Anycubic LeviQ auto bed leveling with 25 points. It will eliminate the need to calibrate the printer manually, making it easier to level your printer and yield more consistent results.”

 Anycubic Kobra 3D printer makes printing easy
The Kobra 3D printer comes with an integrated direct extruder, which allows the machine to quickly push filament into the nozzle, providing reliable extrusion and easy retraction.

Anycubic Kobra Max opens up the possibility of creating larger prints
The Kobra Max 3D printer features a build volume of 17.7 x 15.7 x 15.7 in. / 45 x 40 x 40 cm (HWD), which enables large-scale objects to be printed and the fun of releasing creativity to be explored. With the stable double Z-axis, the Kobra Max offers a more stable operation and even print.


“The Anycubic Photon M3 series will include three versions: Anycubic Photon M3, Anycubic Photon M3 Plus, and Anycubic Photon M3 Max. We have redefined the UV light of these resin 3D printers with the Anycubic LighTurbo matrix light source. With bright LED lights and a high light transmittance screen, the Photon M3 series can give a higher uniformity of light and strong light energy, thus producing great print details and faster print speed. In addition, the M3 series will continue to be equipped with laser engraved print platforms and replaceable anti-scratch film to contribute to higher print success rates and a longer screen service life,” added James Ouyang.

Anycubic Photon M3 3D printer offers a surprising amount of bang for customers’ buck

Anycubic Photon M3 Plus helps with the exploration of fun by remotely controlling and monitoring the 3D printing process
Apart from featuring an Anycubic LighTurbo matrix light source and 9.25” 6K exposure screen, the Anycubic Photon M3 Plus is also equipped with an Anycubic Auto Resin Filler. It can provide a resin backup whenever needed for the duration of printing, thus allaying concerns about running out of resin mid-print. Anycubic Photon M3 Plus is also the first machine that can support Anycubic Cloud. By connecting with Anycubic Cloud, the printing process of the Photon M3 plus 3D printer can be remotely controlled and monitored. 

Anycubic Photon M3 Max helps with realizing creativity with its large build volume and outstanding printing details
Anycubic Photon M3 Max is the most anticipated model in this product launch for its 13.6″ 7K monochrome screen and 6,480 x 3,600 pixel resolution. The large print volume of 30.0 x 29.8 x 16.4 cm (HWD) offers ample space for creativity. Anycubic Photon M3 Max is also equipped with the Anycubic Auto Resin Filler to prevent running out of resin in mid-print.

Anycubic also introduced the Water-Wash Resin+ series to reduce users’ costs in cleaning the prints. The resins are less odorous and can be washed in water without requiring isopropyl alcohol (IPA). This makes post-processing easier and reduces harm to the environment. In addition, the company has released Anycubic AirPure to reduce the odor produced from resin 3D printers and provides users with efficient purification and lasting freshness. Anycubic also announced its first-ever concept 3D printer, Anycubic Photon Nex. It marks the company’s breakthrough exploration in speed, smart printing, and science-fiction-inspired design and establishes the foundation for Anycubic’s future 3D printers with new functions and designs.

Blingy Launch New Beauty Application: Reauty

Reauty leads as an industry gamechanger to empower beauty seekers.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25, 2022 — Today, The Blingy Technology & Entertainment, Inc. (aka Blingy) breaks through the conventional rules of the beauty industry with the beta version of an innovative beauty rating application – Reauty. "Reauty was born out of the need to speak out against the status quo of the industry and address the beauty stakeholders’ pain points, including the beauty seekers, micro-influencers, and beauty brands," said Joy Yuan, Founder & CEO of Blingy.

Leveraging its scientifically based product analysis and easy-to-navigate ingredient safety scores, Reauty shed light on the lack of transparency and regulations in the beauty sector, diving deep into thousands of products to protect users from choosing unsafe, risky ingredients. Reauty’s product analysis function covers all products for beauty needs, such as cosmetics, hair, skin, nails, lips, and men’s care. Users will be able to navigate through their preferences for product attributes and discover clean, vegan, sustainable, and cruelty-free tagged products at ease.

With deep machine learning algorithms and the support of its strong database, Reauty acts as an information aggregator that serves as a beauty "kayak" to give effective solutions for user’s skin types and concerns within seconds. The database-powered search also empowers users with a personalized experience. Reauty features an AI chatbot, Baebee, to give each user a customized quiz that breaks down their skin types, targeted skin concerns, and preferences for products and ingredient tags, which aids Reauty’s smart search engine to generate bespoke top results. This feature paired with the barcode scanning system turns finding the best matches and top-rated products into a productive journey.

Personalization is taken a step further with the AI Skin Analysis feature. Reauty’s advanced AI engine has been trained on millions of face and skin images. It can swiftly and accurately evaluate the facial skin of users of various skin tones and identify over 10 essential skin health and beauty benchmarks. With image recognition technology, this one-of-a-kind AI analyzes facial skin problems and proposes personalized solutions, beauty tips, and product recommendations to customers.


Reauty’s purpose emphasizes transparency to empower beauty lovers.

In addition to the three main features,  Reauty fosters an authentic community that supports inclusivity. Users can easily find their preferred women-owned, BIPOC owned, and sustainable or inclusive brands. Reauty also features a transparent rating system that provides users with a genuine product score from 100% user-generated reviews. It brings together all beauty lovers with similar needs and concerns to express their honest views and experiences as consumers while helping and inspiring others in their skincare journey.

"We are genuinely excited to announce the launch of our signature mobile application; it has taken months of research, development, and testing," said Joy Yuan, "We are ecstatic about the results, and we promise our users a rewarding experience as they get familiar with Reauty."

Reauty aims to provide personalized, effective, and efficient results to help users navigate the complicated "jigsaw" of the beauty industry to make the best-personalized beauty decisions. With the first flagship product, Blingy looks to facilitate healthy relationships between like-minded individuals from all walks of life and create a more convenient lifestyle for all.

Matrixport Expands CeDeFi Offerings with ‘AMM Farming’


Access to yield farming made easier while affording wider choices for active crypto investors seeking to earn yield

SINGAPORE, March 23, 2022 — Matrixport, Asia’s fastest growing digital assets financial services platform, has announced the launch of the ‘Automated Market Maker (AMM) Farming’. The new product enables easy and secure access to quality DeFi liquidity pools for active crypto investors seeking more ways to generate yields.

AMMs are autonomous protocols that allow anyone to become a market maker on a decentralized exchange. Fees are earned by depositing two assets represented in the liquidity pool at the same time. The algorithm will always quote a bid or ask price anytime for these two assets.

Cynthia Wu, Head of Sales and Business Development, Matrixport said, "AMM is an amazing innovation of DeFi, as it enables decentralized market making which is a fundamental expression of crypto’s vision and decentralized nature.  Matrixport’s ‘AMM Farming’ pays homage to this decentralized way of market making. The product lowers the entry barrier, enabling a wider  base of users to participate in DeFi liquidity farming while earning attractive yields in a secure manner."

‘AMM Farming’ adopts a user-friendly App interface that removes the technical knowledge needed to navigate DeFi protocols, allowing users seamless one-click access to DeFi AMM yield opportunities.

Yield from the ‘AMM Farming’ is generated from two sources:

  • Liquidity Provider (LP) Fees: As a LP to the liquidity pool, users earn trading fees from the protocol. Matrixport will collect the trading fee and settle it in both currencies in corresponding weighting on behalf of users.
  • Token Rewards: Some DeFi projects issue token rewards to LPs. Matrixport will help users automatically sell token rewards (if any) in every period and settle or reinvest to boost earnings. Token rewards are generally settled in USDT or USDC (the currency with the lower market price in the liquidity pool)

Product sale window opens weekly, with a 7-day tenor, while the deposit window opens from 12:00 Friday to 12:00 Tuesday(UTC+8). Existing token pairings include ETH/USDT, ETH/USDC, BTC/USDT and BTC/USDC.

Annature announces global ID verification solution built on Stripe

BRISBANE, Australia, March 23, 2022 — In a remarkable first, Australia’s premier electronic signature, ID verification and payment solution, Annature, has taken its eSigning platform to the next level – announcing a fully integrated Identity (ID) verification solution powered by Stripe.

"Our expanded integration with Stripe gives any organisation or individual the prevention and protection technology they need for eSigning and more. And their customers an exceptional low-friction experience." Amreeta Abbott, Annature CEO
"Our expanded integration with Stripe gives any organisation or individual the prevention and protection technology they need for eSigning and more. And their customers an exceptional low-friction experience." Amreeta Abbott, Annature CEO

Built for the digital age on a highly secure blockchain model, the feature rich Annature eSigning platform is recognised for more than digital signing capabilities. Its ISO 27001 data management accreditation provides peace of mind for thousands of customers worldwide.

Previously, Annature has integrated Stripe Payment, Billing and Invoicing technology to easily accept subscription payments for its eSigning business growing at scale. Stripe is ideal for continued development of Annature’s billing and subscriptions engine, easily embedding its powerful Payment APIs – and now ID APIs, into Annature’s workflow for a holistic contract execution experience. 

Annature CEO Amreeta Abbott said: "For Annature, this is a groundbreaking development. We are particularly proud of the new integration of eSigning and Stripe Identity verification into the same workflow, providing greater value in lightning-fast seamless, secure service."

"eSigning is swiftly becoming the norm as the world continues to become more digital," says Hayley Hopwood, Head of Growth, Australia and New Zealand, at Stripe. "Like many other digital transformation trends, eSigning accelerated especially during Covid lockdowns when it was near impossible to get the right people in your office to put pen to paper and sign documents. We are thrilled to see Annature’s solution, powered by Stripe Identity, enable businesses of all sizes, from SMBs to enterprises, to confidently, securely and quickly verify their user’s identity with eSignatures, freeing up bottlenecks and allowing them to focus on other parts of their business."

Annature moved to provide identity verification after seeing Stripe successfully launch its identity product with an automated range of internal and client-facing processes.

Amreeta added: "As a technology company, we found that by using Stripe’s well-documented platform, we were able to easily embed their powerful ID and Payment APIs into our API-driven eSigning process – meaning we are now able to provide a complete contract execution experience of the kind required by many fintech, insurance and other companies."

"It’s not often that you’re able to plan such a big component to an application and have everything go to plan with no surprises. That’s because Stripe works perfectly. It does a huge amount automatically, behind the scenes."

The pandemic has accelerated the shift towards digital onboarding – and forecasters estimate the global market for Identity Verification will grow by more than 20 per cent over the next five years, with close to four billion digital identity verification checks conducted annually by 2026. Generating around $20 billion in revenue for vendors and service providers.

Annature is forecasting 300% growth in the next year – and expects additional major company integration announcements in Q1 2022.

Key software companies are expected to make Annature their default eSigning solution, attracted by its competitive price, bank-grade security and onshore data storage in Australia. Its reputation for ease of use and easy access to local customer support teams is praised for being more knowledgeable and responsive than overseas multinationals operating in many markets worldwide.

With enhanced ID verification and an embedded payment process, Annature’s multi-jurisdictional compliance and reporting capacity provides renewed focus on Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance.

The alignment with Stripe is expected to attract considerable uptake among accounting firms, where KYC/AML requirements are growing in demand.

"By partnering with Stripe, we are able to advance our mission of providing all organisations with the eSigning, ID verification and KYC/AML technology they need, with maximum prevention and protection to give them and their customers an exceptional low-friction and trusted experience,’ added Ms Abbott.

Launched in 2020, Annature already has thousands of direct and white label customers ranging from SMEs to Australia’s fastest-growing legal and accounting firms.

"The official name of VIVOTEK’s proprietary cloud-based VSaaS is VORTEX. VORTEX is a key component of our development strategy, which focuses on centralizing information, data, and video content in a secure storage space and breaking free from conventional spatiotemporal restrictions to enhance security and efficiency," says ShengFu Cheng, Vice President of Strategic Business of VIVOTEK. "VORTEX is intuitive and time/cost-efficient. Recognizing the tremendous potential[1] of hosted surveillance services, we have selected North America as the initial release location. VORTEX will be a strong competitor in the VSaaS market."

VIVOTEK’s VORTEX is easy to set up and use, smart, and flexible. No camera or back-end software configuration is needed. Just set up the user account and scan the QR code, and the camera will automatically connect to the cloud and start recording. Creating custom analytics rules is simple and intuitive. Alert notifications are set automatically for both app and web browser usage. The camera firmware, including analytics, can be maintained and deployed remotely after confirmation by the user. Because it incorporates deep-learning technology, VORTEX offers several major features that increase efficiency and effectiveness, saving both cost and time when operating the system. Users can receive alerts and review, archive, and share video footage through a mobile device anywhere, anytime. Video searches filtering attributes of people and vehicles across cameras can be done within seconds. By leveraging VIVOTEK’s expertise in the design and manufacture of network cameras, VORTEX provides a flexible VSaaS camera portfolio at an affordable price to help users meet a wide range of installation needs on a budget.

VORTEX is currently targeted at small and medium businesses, and is perfect for chain stores that are spread across multiple locations and looking for a centralized management surveillance system. VORTEX is a one-stop solution that allows managers to oversee multiple stores in real-time. The service can be set up effortlessly with minimal hardware and maintenance costs. Using the mobile app or web browser, users can monitor different sites simultaneously, precisely identify specific targets, conduct 24/7 video surveillance, and instantly back up data to the cloud. VORTEX ensures the integrity of stored data and employs deep-learning AI to increase the efficiency and accuracy of detection over time. Smart, effective, and easy-to-use, VORTEX is poised to become the preferred solution for SMBs in the VSaaS market.
