Ushering in a New Era of DeFi 

DeriW pioneers gas-free decentralized derivatives trading using Rollup technology and a seamless Layer 3/Layer 2 architecture. It inherits Ethereum-level security with full on-chain transparency.

With its array of novel functionalities, DeriW distinguishes itself within the decentralized exchange (DEX) arena. It is further bolstered by the technical expertise and reputable brand that CoinW provides.

Recognizing the need for user-friendly decentralized platforms, CoinW’s technology team spent years developing DeriW to provide a smooth, centralized exchange experience in a decentralized space.

Key differentiators:

  • Gas-Free, High-Throughput Trading: Eliminates gas fees while achieving 80,000 TPS and millisecond confirmation speeds, rivaling centralized exchanges through optimized on-chain mechanisms.
  • PendulumAMM for Optimal LP Returns: A proprietary automated market maker dynamically allocates liquidity, delivering up to 80% APR for LPs and enabling zero-slippage trading across hundreds of assets.
  • Secure, High-Leverage Platform: Offers up to 100x leverage trading with non-custodial wallets and audited smart contracts, ensuring institutional-grade security across diverse asset offerings.
  • EVM-Compatible Layer 3 Ecosystem with Cross-Chain Potential: Enables one-click token launches and smart contract deployment, with future cross-chain bridges promising seamless interoperability.

DeriW’s innovative approach to trade mining goes beyond simply breaking DeFi technology barriers. It actively returns value to CoinW ecosystem participants.

The platform acts as a bridge connecting CoinW’s centralized and decentralized services for users of all levels. It opens new pathways to increase wealth.

The integration system releases DeriW ecological potential

To celebrate the launch of DeriW, we are launching the Bonus Points campaign, which aims to distribute $6,600 DER points through user transactions, further incentivizing community engagement and contributing value back to the CoinW ecosystem. Aimed at the average user, the campaign is simple to understand and rewarding:

The activity is divided into two modules: ladder task and basic airdrop. After the user completes the corresponding task, it will be airdropped to the user’s address after the main network is online:

1. Basic task Level 1: Users only need to connect the wallet or create Deriw wallet, receive test coins, and complete the first transaction ≥ 1000 USDT, to get 100 DER rewards;

2. Ladder task: Divided into three levels according to cumulative trading volume and holding days:

a. Level 2:500 DER tokens for trading volume ≥ 100,000U and holding position for 1 day;

b. Level 3: Trading volume ≥ 500,000U, holding position for 2 days, reward 1000 DER tokens;

c. Level 4:5000 DER tokens for trading volume ≥ 1 million U for 4 days.

Through the integration activities, DeriW organically combines user trading income, LP capital pool return and commission incentive to build a multi-win ecological closed loop. All of this can not be achieved without CoinW’s technical and operational strength as an industry leader.

DeriW Rewards participants will not only enjoy the technical dividends of DeriW, but also be deeply integrated into CoinW’s global layout and share the growth opportunities of the DeFi 2.0 era.

The Future of Decentralized Trading is Here

DeriW’s launch not only signifies a technological advancement for CoinW in the field of decentralized trading. It also serves as a catalyst for on-chain ecosystem growth.

It delivers an unprecedented DEX experience and invigorates the CoinW ecosystem with its trade mining program. DeriW integrates zero-cost trading, high-speed performance, and an open ecosystem.

From users pursuing low-cost transactions to on-chain experts seeking to expand their income through generous rebate programs, or DeFi enthusiasts optimistic about the future, DeriW and CoinW open doors to a world of possibilities.

With the 2025 mainnet launch and $DER token listing imminent, DeriW is set to redefine decentralized derivatives markets. CoinW invites participants across the blockchain spectrum to join this new era of value creation as it bridges centralized and decentralized finance.

Telechips(054450/KOSDAQ), a leading fabless automotive semiconductor company, has introduced Korea’s first automotive AI accelerator, ‘A2X (TCA2000/TCA1000)’, accelerating AI innovation in the era of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs).

The A2X is a highly integrated solution, combining sensor interfaces, data preprocessing, and AI acceleration into a single chipset. It delivers peak AI processing power while simplifying development timelines and lowering system costs. Notably, it is equipped with the largest-ever NPU (Neural Processing Unit) in a domestic automotive AI accelerator, ensuring exceptional AI controller performance and maximizing system efficiency.

Traditional autonomous driving and ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) rely on a single SoC (System-on-Chip) to handle all processes, from sensor data input to image pre-processing, AI computation, vehicle prediction, and control. This approach often leads to inefficiencies in data flow, increased computational load, and over-dependence on high-performance SoCs, resulting in higher power consumption, escalating costs, and increased system complexity, ultimately burdening automotive manufacturers with lengthy development timelines.

The A2X overcomes these challenges with its 200/100TOPS NPU and 100K/50K DMIPS CPU, providing unmatched AI computation performance. It features key preprocessing blocks like De-warp, Multi-scaler, and Point Cloud Accelerator, reducing the load on the main SoC and enabling real-time AI processing at peak efficiency. The A2X also offers seamless integration with ADAS and IVI processors, boosting system scalability and reinforcing the competitive edge of SDVs. It will soon support on-device AI features, including LLM/sLLM.

The automotive semiconductor market is growing rapidly. According to Global Information, the market was valued at $19.89 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at an annual rate of nearly 30% through 2030, with the share of AI semiconductors increasing each year. Major global competitors in this sector have primarily focused on high-performance SoCs with integrated AI capabilities rather than dedicated AI accelerators. With the launch of A2X, Telechips aims to aggressively expand its presence in both domestic and international markets, targeting white space opportunities in the automotive AI accelerator segment and creating sustainable growth opportunities through strategic promotions.

JK Lee, CEO of Telechips, stated, “A2X is a groundbreaking solution that combines flexible architecture with powerful AI processing capabilities, allowing customers to accelerate their technology roadmaps. As AI semiconductors become a key determinant of future mobility competitiveness, Telechips is committed to leading the automotive AI accelerator market and establishing a distinctive market position.”

Starting April 1, Telechips will provide engineering samples (ES) of A2X to customers, preparing for mass production. Meanwhile, the company continues to expand its AI product lineup for SDVs.

Medicus Pharma Ltd Announces Positively Trending Interim Analysis for SKNJCT-003 Phase 2 Clinical Study to Non-Invasively Treat Basal Cell Carcinoma of the Skin (BCC)

The Interim Analysis Showed Complete Clinical Clearance of More than Sixty (60%) Percent

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – Newsfile Corp. – March 6, 2025 – Medicus Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: MDCX) (“Medicus” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a positively trending interim analysis for SKNJCT-003 Phase 2 clinical study to non-invasively treat basal cell carcinoma of the skin (BCC).

The SKNJCT-003 clinical study is currently underway in nine (9) clinical sites in United States and is expected to randomize 60 patients. The interim analysis was conducted after more than 50% of the targeted 60 patients in the study were randomized.

The interim analysis shows the clinical study SKNJCT-003 is trending positively with a proportion of subjects with complete clinical clearance of more than 60%. The analysis also shows the investigational product, D-MNA was well tolerated for both dose levels, a low-dose group receiving 100ug of D-MNA and a high-dose group receiving 200ug of D-MNA in all participants so far enrolled in the study, with no dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), or serious adverse events (SAEs). In addition, there were no systemic effects or clinically significant abnormal findings in laboratory parameters, vital signs, ECGs, and physical examination. The findings of the interim analysis are preliminary and may or may not correlate with the findings of the study once completed.

The Company plans to submit the interim analysis to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part of a package seeking a Type C meeting with the FDA in Q2 2025. The purpose of the Type C meeting is to formally discuss the product development and gain further alignment on the clinical pathway. The Company’s aim is to gain FDA’s consent to fast-track the clinical development program.

“We are immensely encouraged by the positively trending interim analysis,” stated Dr. Raza Bokhari, Executive Chairman & CEO. “The interim analysis brings us one step closer to delivering a novel, non-invasive treatment for BCC.”

Clinical Trial Design

The clinical study is designed to be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (P-MNA), multi-center study enrolling up to 60 subjects presenting with BCC of the skin. The study will evaluate the efficacy of two dose levels of D-MNA compared to a placebo control. The participants will be randomized 1:1:1 to one of three groups: a placebo-controlled group receiving P-MNA, a low-dose group receiving 100μg of D-MNA, and a high-dose group receiving 200μg of D-MNA.

The high-dose, 200μg D-MNA, proposed in the study is the maximum dose that was used in the Company’s Phase 1 safety and tolerability study (SKNJCT-001) completed in March 2021. SKNJCT-001 met its primary objective of safety and tolerability. The investigational product, D-MNA, was well tolerated across all dose levels in all 13 participants enrolled in the study, with no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), or serious adverse events (SAEs). Furthermore, there were no systemic effects or clinically significant abnormal findings in laboratory parameters, vital signs, ECGs, and physical examinations. The study also describes the efficacy of the investigational product, D-MNA, with 6 participants experiencing complete responses. The complete response is defined as the disappearance of BCC histologically in the final excision at the end of study visit. The participants profile demonstrating complete responses was diverse, and all participants (6/6) had nodular subtype of BCC.

The Company also has submitted a clinical design (SKNJCT-004) to United Arab Emirates (UAE) Department of Health (DOH). The study is expected to randomize 36 patients in four sites in UAE, which are Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi (CCAD), Sheikh Shakbout Medical City (SSMC), Burjeel Medical City (BMC), and American Hospital of Dubai (AHD).

From virtual reality and interactive installations to multimedia storytelling and immersive art, the festival will examine how cutting-edge technology enhances sensory engagement and redefines audience participation.

New AI-generated content category

This year’s festival marks the first dedicated AI-generated content category, encouraging creators to explore the role of artificial intelligence in media production. Submissions must incorporate AI tools in the creative process, with at least 50% of the final work generated using AI technology. Eligible formats include experimental films, narratives, documentaries, animation, music videos, variety shows, science fiction, and VR experiences.

Professor Qian Liu, Dean of the Academy of Film and Creative Technology, says the festival reflects the growing integration of creative media and technological innovation.

“Creative technology is reshaping artistic expression and media production. At MEGA, we are not only showcasing outstanding creative works but also fostering interdisciplinary talent that will drive innovation in digital content creation,” he says. “By incorporating AI, immersive experiences, and interactive storytelling, we are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in media and entertainment.”

A platform for emerging talent

Last year’s MEGA received 829 submissions from 175 universities and 14 professional media organisations across 20 countries. Previous winners have praised MEGA for its international exposure and opportunities to connect with industry professionals.

According to Xiang Li, last year’s winner of MEGA’s Best VR Award, the festival benefits those new to the industry.

“Having a platform like MEGA that values experimental narratives and new media is crucial for young creators,” says Li, whose winning entry critically examines the role of empathy in virtual reality. “The festival not only recognises innovative storytelling but also fosters meaningful discussions about the future of immersive experiences.”
