Lagos, July 17, 2024 – Today, Jambo, the largest web3 mobile infrastructure bringing emerging markets on-chain, announced that it’s expanding to the Solana blockchain along with Tether to offer blockchain-enabled financial and educational technologies that cater to emerging markets.

Jambo Expands to Solana - 5

Central to this is the JamboPhone, a $99 web3 smartphone that has been powerful in onboarding all types of users on-chain in a mobile-first way. Combined with the Solana blockchain’s high throughput capabilities and Tether’s dominant stablecoin, USDT, access to web3 financial and educational products will be democratized to those who need them most in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Introducing the JamboPhone

Available in over 120 countries, the JamboPhone is targeted towards Gen Z consumers in emerging markets as their portal to the best digital products and opportunities globally. Users can engage with the global economy by utilizing the preloaded Jambo Ecosystem applications featuring DeFi, gaming, and web3 infrastructure applications. The JamboPhone aims to address some of the most challenging issues faced by emerging markets, such as a large unbanked population and limited access to smartphones. Users can purchase the JamboPhone with Solana Pay on JamboPhone.xyz.

The Jambo App: Empowering Users

The smartphone is equipped with the JamboApp, a comprehensive web3 platform that offers users a range of services including decentralized finance, gaming, and educational content, all designed with the emerging market user in mind. The JamboApp includes the JamboWallet, a non-custodial multichain wallet which includes support for Solana tokens and USDT. Jambo will be giving out rewards primarily in USDT, leveraging its broad acceptance and stability in emerging markets. Users will be able to complete quests sponsored by Jambo and Jambo ecosystem partners, ranging from educational initiatives to promotional tasks, with rewards now distributed primarily using SPL USDT. This initiative underscores Jambo, Solana, and Tether’s role as pioneers in bridging the digital divide, aiming to democratize access to digital financial tools and providing users with earning opportunities in emerging markets.

Leveraging Local Solana Communities

Additionally, Jambo will engage local Superteams to accelerate web3 adoption. Superteam is a global community of web3 builders who are passionate about Solana. Their mission is to help web3 talent learn, earn, and connect with the Solana ecosystem. These teams, composed of local experts and enthusiasts, will play a pivotal role in educating communities, fostering local development, and driving grassroots initiatives that ensure sustainable growth within the web3 ecosystem.

“Back when I was building earn.com in 2017, our vision was to build a product ‘where there’s a phone, there’s a job.’ Alice, James, and the Jambo team have realized that vision by developing web3 mobile infrastructure bringing financial access to emerging markets,” said Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation. “Jambo offers a gateway to web3 that is accessible to nearly anyone in the world, while Solana enables financial access for nearly anyone with an internet connection. Together, we are committed to making self-custody, financial opportunity, and educational resources accessible to millions.”

Why Emerging Markets

Emerging markets face their own unique set of economic challenges that Solana and Tether can address with their blockchain and stablecoin solutions. In emerging markets, the use of USDT (Tether) significantly surpasses that of other stablecoins, with over 34.2 million unique wallets utilizing USDT as of April 2024. This broad user base highlights the widespread trust and adoption of Tether in these regions. With Jambo’s game-changing smartphone, Solana’s fast transaction processing, low transaction fees, and Tether’s robust and widely-used stablecoin, users now have access to stablecoin and crypto payment rails, alternative banking access, and global earnings opportunities.

“We want to bring emerging markets on-chain,” said James Zhang, Co-founder of Jambo. “Bringing Jambo to Solana and Tether allows us to provide a comprehensive solution that addresses the unique needs of these regions.”

Bossjob Joins NVIDIA Inception Program to Advance AI Capabilities in Job Matching Platform

SINGAPORE, July 17, 2024 — Bossjob, an AI-Driven Talent Matching Next-Generation Recruitment Platform, proudly announces its admission into the prestigious NVIDIA Inception Program. This selection highlights Bossjob’s exceptional innovation in leveraging AI to revolutionize job-matching, marking a significant milestone in its journey to transform recruitment.

Header-image-depicting-partnership-Bossjob-Nvidia-s-Inception-Program

Why the Program

NVIDIA Inception is a program designed to accelerate the growth of startups by providing access to advanced technology and resources. Being accepted into this program validates Bossjob’s innovative work and positions it for continued success in AI-driven job matching.

“This participation in the NVIDIA Inception Program reflects the commitment to revolutionizing the job matching process through AI innovation,” said Quak Kiat How, COO and Co-founder of Bossjob. “In the era of Machine Learning and Large Language Models, Bossjob is privileged to build its own model on the shoulders of NVIDIA, constructing a new-generation talent matching engine. The H100 provides substantial support, and after two beta version tests, it will soon be deployed in Bossjob’s production environment.”

Advancing AI Matching Capabilities and Transition to Proprietary Models

Bossjob’s platform currently utilizes Amazon Personalize’s ML recommendation engine for its matching algorithm. While this scalable, public cloud-based framework has been effective, its customization capabilities presented some limitations in fulfilling Bossjob’s long term vision of becoming a best-in-class AI hiring solution. One significant drawback is that job recommendations are not based on real-time data, leading to new employers and job seekers not receiving timely recommendations. This limitation formed the impetus to seek a solution that is not only scalable but also a highly customizable ML framework that provides users with near-instant AI recommendations to ensure best-in-class job matching at unprecedented speeds.

As part of its future plans, Bossjob is developing an in-house recommendation model using machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow. Initial experimentation with a custom superserver powered by the Nvidia H100 Tensor Core GPU has shown promising results. This transition to NVIDIA’s state-of-the-art GPUs will allow the company to achieve faster, more robust, and cost-effective scaling across additional job markets.

The main benefits of developing a proprietary recommendation model include greater customization and control, enabling Bossjob to quickly adapt and expand into new regions. The NVIDIA H100 servers will significantly enhance Bossjob’s proprietary training model’s speed and robustness, ensuring that it continues to provide top-tier AI-driven job matching services. This enhancement will streamline operations, leading to more efficient job matches and a superior user experience.

The Journey to Hyperscaled AI

Reaching 3 million users and 10 000+ daily active applications in 2023 across the Philippines and Singapore job markets, the next step in scaling up Bossjob’s recommendation algorithm requires substantial data for machine learning frameworks to be effective at predicting relevant matches. These substantial datasets allow the algorithms to perform at optimal levels, ensuring high accuracy and relevancy in job matches.

Acceptance into the NVIDIA INception program is a crucial step in the AI powerhouse’s validation of Bossjob’s mission and vision. Bossjob is excited and proud to be part of this prestigious group, gaining deeper cooperation and access to NVIDIA’s suite of Enterprise AI infrastructure.

Next Steps and User Benefits

The company sets its sights on scaling its recommendation engine towards new job markets in Southeast Asia, as well as Japan, a leading G7 economy which is currently facing a growing need for job matching domestically and internationally. With the support of NVIDIA Inception, Bossjob will continuously refine its recommendation engine, improve operational efficiency, and provide users with faster, more accurate job matches, enhancing their overall experience on the platform.
