Dynamite Deploys AI-Powered Identity Technology to Deliver Institutional-Grade Security at Consumer-Level Simplicity

The Company’s Biometric AI-Driven Wallet utilizes Customer Identity to Unlock Digital Asset Self-Custody

VANCOUVER, BC, April 28, 2026 /CNW/ – Dynamite Blockchain Corp. (the “Company” or “Dynamite”) (CSE: KAS) (OTC: CRYBF) is pleased to announce that it will now be in a position to deploy AI-driven authentication technology to enable secure self-custody without traditional private key management, to its flagship non-custodial digital asset wallet product. The Company refers to this AI Driven Technology as the Dynamite Proof of Identity Engine and is powered by two verifiable properties: Proof of Personhood and Proof of Uniqueness.

AI-Driven Identity: A New Model for Blockchain Access

One of the most persistent friction points in digital assets is identity verification at the point of wallet access. Current systems rely on static credentials that can be lost, stolen, or compromised, particularly as much of this information is stored in centralized cloud environments, making it inherently vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Even though blockchain technology has matured significantly over the past decade, the user experience surrounding wallet security and identity verification remains complex and intimidating for most users.

Managing seed phrases, safeguarding private keys, and understanding cryptographic custody models are tasks that require a level of technical literacy that many potential users simply do not have.

For example:

Losing a seed phrase results in permanent loss of fundsStoring seed phrases digitally can expose users to hacks or malwareWriting them down physically introduces loss or theft riskMany users struggle to understand the responsibility of self-custody

These usability and security challenges have been widely cited as key barriers preventing millions of potential users from confidently participating in the digital asset ecosystem1.

The Dynamite Wallet addresses this problem by replacing complex cryptographic management with human-native authentication powered by artificial intelligence (“AI”).

The Dynamite wallet uses AI-powered biometric recognition to confirm that the person requesting access is a real, live individual and the same individual each time.

Authentication happens in real time. The AI does the work that users previously had to do themselves and the private key is generated on the device when needed. No keys stored, so no seed phrases to steal and no mnemonics to memorize.

Instead of memorizing seed phrases or managing private keys, users simply authenticate using their face, a process that is already familiar through modern smartphones.

By turning biometric identity into the cryptographic access mechanism, the wallet reduces the complexity of blockchain interaction to something as simple as unlocking a device.

This approach delivers a meaningful shift in how blockchain access works. The familiar act of looking at a device, already routine on modern smartphones, becomes the cryptographic event.

This means:

no credentials to manageno single point of failure to exploit and,no reliance on a custodial third party.

Dynamite Proof of Identity Engine

At the core of the Dynamite Wallet is an AI engine that performs biometric liveness detection in real time distinguishing a live individual from a static image, video replay, or deepfake attempt. This is not passive facial recognition; it is an active AI determination of both presence and uniqueness, made fresh at every authentication event. The system establishes two verifiable properties:

Proof-of-Personhood
Ensures that the person interacting with the wallet is a real human.

Proof-of-Uniqueness
Ensures that each wallet is uniquely tied to a single verified identity.

Together, these AI-verified properties create a human-bound cryptographic identity enabling secure blockchain transactions while also providing compliance-ready identity infrastructure suited to the requirements of businesses and financial institutions operating in regulated environments.

Where AI Security Meets Real-World Usability

Historically, there has been a trade-off between security and ease of use in the blockchain ecosystem.

Highly secure systems often require complex operational steps, while simpler systems frequently rely on custodial intermediaries that compromise decentralization. The Dynamite Wallet‘s AI-powered biometric layer is engineered to render that trade-off unnecessary

By anchoring authentication to a user’s real-time biometric identity, the system delivers self-custody security and institutional-grade authentication through an experience as seamless as unlocking a smartphone, positioning the Dynamite Wallet to deliver:

Self-custody securityInstitutional-grade authenticationConsumer-level simplicity

“Dynamite believes that AI-powered identity infrastructure is a prerequisite for mainstream participation in decentralized financial systems and that the Dynamite Wallet represents a practical, deployable expression of that infrastructure today”, explains Akshay Sood, Chief Executive Officer of Dynamite Blockchain Corp.

“With the Dynamite Wallet, AI performs in milliseconds what once required users to manage complex credentials, verifying in real time that you are who you claim to be, and that no one else can impersonate you. That is the foundation upon which a truly mainstream digital asset experience must be built,” exclaims Mr. Sood

Meridian Singapore Immigration Launches New Website to Simplify the PR Application Journey for Foreigners in Singapore

New online platform provides clear, structured guidance for Employment Pass and S Pass holders navigating Singapore’s residency and Permanent Residency pathways

SINGAPORE, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Meridian Singapore Immigration Pte. Ltd. has officially launched its new website at meridianimmigration.sg, a resource built specifically for foreigners living and working in Singapore who are exploring Permanent Residency or long-term residency options.

The platform arrives at a time when Singapore’s expatriate and foreign professional community is growing rapidly, yet many EP and S Pass holders report struggling to find clear, reliable information on the PR application process. Singapore’s immigration framework is among the most structured in Southeast Asia, with eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and submission windows that change frequently. For individuals navigating this process without professional guidance, the stakes are high and the margin for error is narrow.

Meridian’s website was built to address that gap directly. The platform offers detailed explanations of available immigration pathways, structured consultation options, and educational resources developed by the firm’s team of immigration specialists. Rather than presenting a services catalogue, the site walks users through the considerations relevant to their specific situation, whether they hold an Employment Pass, S Pass, or are planning for their family’s long-term residency in Singapore.

“We built this platform because we saw how overwhelming and confusing the immigration process can be for people who genuinely want to build their lives here,” said a spokesperson for Meridian Singapore Immigration. “Our goal is to be the trusted partner that walks them through every step with clarity and integrity.”

Singapore’s continued attractiveness as a regional hub for multinational corporations, financial institutions, and technology firms means the pipeline of foreigners seeking long-term residency options remains substantial. At the same time, the ICA’s PR application framework has grown more nuanced, with factors such as economic contributions, family ties, and community integration weighed during assessment. Applicants who proceed without a clear understanding of these criteria often submit applications that are either premature or structurally incomplete.

Meridian’s approach centres on preparation and transparency, helping applicants understand where they stand before they apply and what supporting documentation strengthens their case.

Meridian Singapore Immigration Pte. Ltd. is a professional immigration consultancy dedicated to guiding individuals and families through Singapore’s immigration process. Specialising in Permanent Residency (PR) applications, residency pathways, and compliance support, Meridian offers clear, structured solutions tailored to each client’s unique circumstances. Founded on the values of Guidance, Integrity, and Success, Meridian is committed to making immigration simple, transparent, and accessible for everyone. For more information, visit meridianimmigration.sg or contact info@meridianimmigration.sg / +65 8873 1113.

Socomec, Daitron team up to meet Japan’s growing power demands

Published

By

TOKYO, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Socomec, a century-old electrical group specialising in mission-critical energy, and Japan’s Daitron, an electronics components distributor, have signed a partnership to deliver power conversion solutions and service backup power and electrical-switching systems across Japan.

The deal combines Socomec’s equipment with Daitron’s on-the-ground engineering team, which has more than 74 years of experience in the Japanese market. The two companies will handle everything from project delivery to ongoing maintenance and spare parts.

The partnership covers three product areas: uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), which keep facilities running during outages; power conversion systems, which ensure the availability and continuity of high-quality energy; and static transfer switches, which automatically reroute power loads between sources without interruption.

Beyond equipment sales, the agreement includes training, spare parts, long-term service contracts and a full range of expert services covering prevention, measurement and analysis, consultancy, deployment and optimisation. Socomec will provide product and technical training to Daitron’s team, while Daitron handles installation, servicing and day-to-day client support in Japan.

The target market spans data centres, semiconductor plants, industrial facilities, hospitals and green buildings, all areas where even brief power interruptions can prove costly. Data center demand in particular is surging, driven by the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure, with colocation and enterprise facilities among the primary targets.

“Daitron knows the Japanese market inside and out. They have the people, the relationships, and the hands-on experience, and we bring the technology to match,” said Socomec Asia-Pacific CEO O’Niel Dissanayake. “It’s a natural fit, and together we can offer something neither company could deliver alone.”

“Japan’s data centres, chip factories and industrial plants all require power systems they can count on,” said Masaharu Kato, corporate officer of Daitron. “Socomec’s technology is exactly what these customers need, and our job is to make sure it’s installed, maintained and supported properly. That’s what we do best.”

The partnership comes as Japan faces a step change in power demand. Electricity consumption is expected to grow 5.3% over the next decade, driven by data centres and semiconductor factories, according to the country’s grid operator. Industrial energy demand alone is forecast to rise 18.3% over the same period.

That growth is creating strong demand for reliable power infrastructure. Data centres, for example, run around the clock and cannot afford downtime, making backup power and efficient energy management essential. Socomec’s systems are designed to reduce power consumption without sacrificing reliability, a balance that is becoming increasingly important as operators look to manage both costs and environmental commitments.

Both companies say project planning and bids are already underway, with a long-term goal of expanding the partnership’s reach across Japan as demand grows.

Multi-Destination Travel Surges Across Asia-Pacific This Labour Day, Trip.com Group Data Shows

Published

By

Multi-city travel across Asia-Pacific grew 35% year-on-yearMulti-city travel outpaces single-destination growth by more than 2xSoutheast Asia sees strong double-digit growth, with Thailand up to 52% YoY

SINGAPORE, April 29, 2026 /CNW/ — Multi-city travel across Asia-Pacific grew 35% year-on-year this Labour Day period, according to data from Trip.com Group. Several Asia-Pacific markets including Japan, South Korea, parts of Southeast Asia and Mainland China celebrate Labour Day, driving strong cross-border and domestic travel flows across the region.

Over 30% of international trips now span multiple destinations, highlighting a continued shift towards more complex, itinerary-led travel. This shift reflects a growing preference to maximise time and value with multiple destinations within a single trip rather than a single location.

Multi-destination trips become a defining travel pattern

While single-destination travel continues to account for most bookings, growth is increasingly driven by more complex itineraries. Multi-destination bookings are growing at more than twice the pace of single-destination travel, reflecting stronger demand for flexibility and deeper exploration.

Travellers are increasingly structuring trips across multiple cities to maximise both time and value, with popular combinations including:

Tokyo – Osaka – Kyoto (Japan)Seoul – Busan (South Korea)Bangkok – Phuket (Thailand)

These itineraries reflect a growing preference for multi-stop journeys that blend urban experiences with leisure destinations.

Southeast Asia sees fast growth in multi-destination travel 

Across Southeast Asia, demand for multi-destination travel is rising steadily, with strong growth across key markets of Thailand: 52%, Malaysia: 40%, and Singapore: 17%, according to Trip.com Group data.

Top outbound destinations across Southeast Asian markets include Japan (Tokyo, Osaka), South Korea (Seoul), China (Shanghai, Beijing), Thailand (Bangkok), Indonesia (Bali).

In other parts of Asia such as Hong Kong SAR, multi-destination travel also grew by over 50% year-on-year, highlighting growing preference for more complex itineraries over traditional single-destination trips, particularly in well-connected urban markets.

In Mainland China, domestic travel remains a strong base, while overseas journeys are increasingly shaped by multi-destination itineraries, with over 40% of outbound trips spanning multiple destinations and continuing to grow.

This suggests that travellers in this region are increasingly combining multiple cities within a single trip, supported by strong regional connectivity.

Japan’s domestic travel momentum on the rise

Japan is also seeing shifts in domestic travel behaviour, even as outbound demand continues to grow.

In Japan, domestic travel is growing rapidly, indicating rising interest in travelling within the country, accounting for one-quarter of all flight bookings, and to cities such as Tokyo, Sapporo and Okinawa.

Intra-Asia travel dominates Labour Day demand

The Labour Day holiday period continues to be driven by regional travel within Asia-Pacific, with travellers favouring destinations that offer ease of access, diverse experiences, and flexible itineraries.

The Group’s data highlights the continued strength of short-haul travel, supported by strong connectivity and shorter flight durations.

More broadly, the way people travel across Asia-Pacific is evolving. Travellers taking a more deliberate approach to how they plan their trips. While cross-border journeys are increasingly shaped by multi-city itineraries, domestic travel remains a strong and steady part of the landscape. Together, these patterns point to a more flexible and value-conscious mindset, as travellers look to make the most of both time and budget.
