Black Radiance Launches Beautyverse App as First Step into Beauty Tech Space

Black Radiance

Black Radiance, one of the first inclusive beauty brands, is excited to launch its first augmented reality app, Beyond Radiant. Available now in all app stores, Beyond Radiant empowers women of color with the confidence to be their best selves by seeing the unlimited possibilities in the avatars. Beyond Radiant stands at the intersection of augmented reality technology, beauty, and empowerment. Unlike traditional beauty apps that focus solely on makeup application, Beyond Radiant offers an immersive experience surrounding four diverse avatars, each with unique personalities and professions, to inspire women of color and foster a community of confident, empowered women who see themselves in the achievements and aspirations of the app’s avatar. “Black Radiance has always stood on the cutting-edge of the intersection between beauty and race,” said Sherry West, Brand Marketing Manager at Black Radiance. “We know the way of the future is to embrace technology in new and unique ways, especially with the increasing presence of AI in the beauty industry. We’re excited to step into the future in an inclusive way that holds true to Black Radiance’s long-standing mission of empowering women of color.” Beyond Radiant Augmented Reality avatars are inspired by history-making women who have blazed new paths for Black women, like NASA Astronaut Jessica Watkins, and record-breaking ice skater Starr Andrews. Jessica Watkins is the first Black woman to complete an International Space Station long-term mission, while Starr Andrews is the first African American woman to win a Grand Prix medal in the singles discipline. The dedication, creativity, imagination, and fortitude of these women can be seen in the four avatars: The Boss Babe, The Champ, The Content Creator, and The Innovator. “In a world where beauty standards often feel limiting, Black Radiance dares to redefine what beauty can mean for women of color,” said K. Parris MacDonald, Vice President of Marketing at Black Radiance. “The Beyond Radiant App feels like a natural progression to further offering space to women of color to be their authentic selves and see themselves reflected in the narratives of achievement and success.” The Beyond Radiant app is available to download in all app stores now and at www.blackradiancebeauty.com.

Halving of BTFS Storage Rewards

BitTorrent

Singapore, May 28, 2024 – To sustain the growth and success of the BitTorrent ecosystem, BTFS is set to implement a halving on the next round of rewards for storage miners on the BTFS network. From 00:00 (UTC) June 25, 2024, the daily rewards for storage miners on the BTFS network will be halved from 15 billion BTT to 7.5 billion BTT. The BitTorrent File System (BTFS) is a decentralized file storage system that utilizes blockchain technology and peer-to-peer transmission. It allows users to store their files across multiple nodes in a distributed manner, enhancing file security and reliability. BTFS also offers rapid file transfer and access, giving users greater convenience in managing and sharing files. By integrating key features of the BitTorrent Chain (BTTC), such as cross-chain connectivity and multichannel payment options, BTFS significantly enhances user experience. Currently, the BTFS network is experiencing rapid growth with over 8 million nodes across the network, including more than 6 million super miners, according to BTFS SCAN. To support the efficient operations of these nodes, BTFS initiated a rewards program and has provided an aggregate of 25 trillion BTT since the launch of BTFS Mainnet in 2019. Every two years, the BTFS rewards halving will occur causing the rewards for all storage miners across the network to be cut in half. (Halving roadmap) Moreover, halving will also prompt miners to improve node performance by optimizing node operation and reducing waste. In addition, an upgrade of the official website for the BTFS technical community and the release of BTFS v3.0 Mainnet will be scheduled in sync with the halving. These developments are expected to improve the efficiency of the BTFS protocol, expand the user base, and enhance its overall functionality. Looking ahead, BTFS is committed to continuously refining its storage rewards strategies. The goal is to expand the network of nodes participating in file storage on BTFS, providing developers with an efficient, secure, and reliable storage solution boosting both the capacity and the transaction efficiency of the BTTC network. About BTFS The BitTorrent File System (BTFS) is both a protocol and a web application that provides a content-addressable peer-to-peer mechanism for storing and sharing digital content in a decentralized file system, as well as a base platform for decentralized applications (Dapp). The BTFS team has been working on the latest network operations and BTT market sentiment, etc., to make a series of dynamic adjustments such as upload prices and airdrop reward schemes. About BitTorrent Founded with a leading peer-to-peer sharing technology standard in 2004, BitTorrent, Inc. is a consumer software company based in San Francisco. Its protocol is the largest decentralized P2P network in the world, driving 22% of upstream and 3% of downstream traffic globally. Its flagship desktop and mobile products, BitTorrent and µTorrent, enable users to send large files over the internet, connecting legitimate third-party content providers with users. With over 100 million active users, BitTorrent products have been installed on over 1 billion devices in over 138 countries worldwide. Since November 2018, TRON (TRX), Binance (BNB), and Bitcoin (BTC) holders have the opportunity to purchase one-year subscriptions of BitTorrent or µTorrent products, including Ads Free and Pro for Windows. Pro includes anti-virus and anti-malware screening, file converting and playability in HD. Users can visit bittorrent.com or utorrent.com to learn more.

How Blue Nile Keeps Costs Down While Offering Ethical, High-Quality Engagement Rings And Jewelry To Suit All Kinds Of Customers

Benzinga

By Mangeet Kaur Bouns In the ever-evolving landscape of fine jewelry, Blue Nile has emerged as a premier destination for those seeking not only quality and good craftsmanship, but also transparency and ethical sourcing. As the wedding bells ring louder in the post-pandemic world, Blue Nile has positioned itself to cater to the increased demand for engagement rings and fine jewelry. Unwavering Commitment To Quality And Ethical Practices At the heart of Blue Nile's philosophy is a staunch commitment to quality and ethical sourcing. The brand takes pride in its high-quality diamonds and gemstones, which come from suppliers who strictly adhere to ethical and environmental standards. This commitment not only caters to the judicious buyer, but also appeals to those who prioritize sustainability in their purchases. In addition to natural diamonds, the company boasts an impressive collection of lab-grown diamonds. These gems, certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), are chemically and optically identical to their natural counterparts and offer a more affordable, ethical and sustainable alternative without compromising quality or beauty. Empowering Consumers Through Education Blue Nile's strategy extends beyond direct sales – it is a pioneer in consumer education within the jewelry sector. The company's detailed guides on the "Four Cs" of diamonds – cut, color, clarity and carat weight – equip customers with the knowledge to make informed purchasing decisions. This educational approach fosters a transparent relationship with customers, enhancing their confidence and trust, which is crucial in an industry often clouded by complexity. This approach sets Blue Nile apart from its competitors. Revolutionizing Jewelry Shopping With Technology, Convenience And Customization Since being founded in 1999, Blue Nile has been at the forefront of combining technology with traditional jewelry retail. The company’s online platform is designed for optimal user experience, offering detailed product descriptions, high-resolution images and interactive design tools. These features make it easy for customers to find and customize their perfect piece of jewelry from the comfort of their homes. For customers who prefer a more hands-on shopping experience, Blue Nile has also integrated physical showrooms across the U.S. These showrooms complement the online experience, allowing customers to see, touch and feel the jewelry before making a purchase, thus bridging the gap between online and in-store shopping. The brand’s commitment to customer service is also evident in its round-the-clock support offered via phone, live chat and email, ensuring that help is always available. This level of service, provided by non-commissioned experts, is instrumental in ensuring that every customer interaction is personalized and reassuring, making the purchasing process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. The company’s engagement with customers extends beyond direct service channels. Blue Nile actively utilizes social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram to connect with clients – offering updates, engaging content and responsive customer service that caters to the digital habits of modern consumers. Moreover, the company enhances customer satisfaction through a flexible 30-day return or exchange policy, accommodating the needs and preferences of its diverse client base. For those seeking a highly personalized shopping experience, Blue Nile offers scheduled virtual appointments. Customers can engage with personal jewelers in a virtual showroom setting, which features a sophisticated studio equipped with multiple cameras that showcase each jewelry piece from various angles – providing a detailed and interactive viewing experience akin to an in-person consultation. Customization stands at the forefront of Blue Nile's service offerings. The company provides a vast array of customization options, allowing customers to select the ideal diamond, setting and metal type. This flexibility makes it possible to design distinct and meaningful engagement rings or other jewelry pieces that perfectly align with personal tastes. This emphasis on personalized jewelry is a cornerstone of Blue Nile’s mission, reflecting its dedication to helping customers craft not just jewelry but also memories. Competitive Pricing Without Compromise Operating predominantly online, Blue Nile can offer competitive pricing without compromising quality. By minimizing the overhead costs associated with traditional physical outlets, the company is able to offer an extensive range of premium jewelry at more accessible price points. This cost-effective model enhances affordability and broadens its appeal, increasing access to fine jewelry in a way many traditional jewelers may not be able to match. Offering Quality With Convenience In A Resurging Post-COVID Wedding Market The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the wedding industry, leading to widespread postponements and cancellations as global restrictions took hold. During 2020, the earliest phase of the pandemic, the number of weddings in the U.S. plummeted to nearly 1.7 million, marking the lowest figure recorded since 1963. However, as the world has begun to recover and restrictions have eased, the wedding sector is witnessing a rebound. The most recent data from the CDC indicates a notable recovery. Approximately 2.1 million weddings occurred in 2022, surpassing about 2 million registered in 2019 during the pre-pandemic period. The global wedding ring market is poised for growth amid this revival. Straits Research projects this market to reach $132.6 billion by 2032, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% from 2024 to 2032. This growth is expected to be driven by the increase in weddings and evolving consumer preferences for unique and custom wedding jewelry. Blue Nile is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this growth and cater to the needs of its customers as the wedding industry continues to flourish post-pandemic.
