How Modular Blockchains May Become the Popular Trend in 2023 – Cryptopolitan

Blockchain technology has been around for more than a decade, and it is becoming more evident that it has the potential to transform a wide range of businesses. However, it is continually changing, as is any technology, and recent developments emerge all the time. Modular blockchains are one such invention that we predict will become more popular in 2023 and beyond.　　Modular blockchains represent a fundamental shift in how blockchain technology is designed and deployed. Rather than a monolithic blockchain that handles many transactions, modular blockchains comprise individual modules that can be combined to create a custom blockchain solution for specific use cases.　　Now that we understand the concept of modular blockchains, lets dive deeper into how they work. At a high level, modular blockchains comprise individual modules that can be assembled in different configurations to create a custom blockchain solution.　　Consensus methods, platforms for smart contracts, and storage options are just a few examples of the many diverse components that these modules could have. The ability for developers to mix and match these modules to construct a blockchain that is customized to their particular requirements is one of the primary advantages of modular blockchains.　　A company that wants to build a supply chain

Ford CEO on EV transition: Batteries are the constraint

Companies such as Ford (F) are collectively pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into electric vehicles (EVs).　　But as the industry transitions toward zero carbon emissions, battery supply chains could stand in the way of those ambitions.　　“First of all, batteries are the constraint here,” Ford CEO Jim Farley told Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “Both lithium and nickel are really the key constraining commodities. We normally get those from all over the world — South America, Africa, Indonesia. We want to localize that in North America, not just the mining but the processing of the materials.”　　Farley pointed out that even raw metals mined in the U.S. often get sent back to China to be processed, something the U.S. is actively trying to counter through grants and additional investments.　　“The big change is going to be onshore all that capability of processing but also mining back in the U.S.” Farley added. “It will be a huge job, just like it has for semiconductors.”　　In 2021, electric vehicles made up about 10% of all vehicle sales globally, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). By 2030, BloombergNEF projects that half of all U.S. car sales will be EVs, spurred on by Inflation Reduction Act tax

US contemplates expanding emergency lending facility for banks: Report

United States authorities are reportedly deliberating on extending an emergency credit line for banks, “in ways” which may provide First Republic Bank with a time buffer to address its balance sheet concerns, according to people with knowledge of the situation.　　In a March 26 Bloomberg report citing unnamed sources, it was reported that U.S. officials have not decided on what support, “if any,” they can provide to First Republic, however an “expansion of the Federal Reserves offering” is one of the options being considered.　　First Republic was reportedly deemed “stable enough to operate” by regulators without the need for “immediate intervention,” while the bank and its advisers attempt to “shore up its balance sheet.”　　The sources noted that while the Feds liquidity offerings would be reportedly expanded in accordance with banking law, which stipulates that it must be “broadly based” and not aimed at benefiting a specific bank, they also warned that the alteration could be “made in a way” that ensures First Republic Bank benefits.　　It was reported that despite First Republic facing structural challenges with its balance sheet, “the banks deposits are stabilizing” and is not at risk of experiencing “the kind of sudden, severe run” that led regulators to close down
