It is also the management’s intent to seek the approval with the SEC in the US to allow the Company for 2022 to issue the “Creare Coin” to existing shareholders of the SMKG:OTCQB holding Common Class A stock during a specific period of the registration date. The company intends to issue the coin ratio to Common Class A equity holders with a ratio of coin to shares of 20:1. The Creare Coin will be used for cross-border, wallet payments, rewards exchange and compensation, escrow and digital realm purchases like unique Metaverses that will be launched.

The CEO of SMKG:OTCQB, Massimo Barone, stated, “2021 was a year to be excited about with developments and filled with strategic partners that include financial institutions in several key markets. This allowed us to build upon core payments and realizing commercial deployments. At the same time the year had its challenges with rolling lockdowns, remote work and a learning curves for governments, financial institutions and enterprises that saw significant budget cuts and in many cases reallocations of efforts and capital. We were affected directly, in some cases able to assist our clients by progressing with the projects during the dormant periods.

“We are definitely on the right path building our own tracks, as we have also been invited to discussions by several large Equity Firms and Enterprises with ongoing discussions of which have an appetite to acquire all or some specific intellectual properties in the SMKG portfolio. In addition, interested parties to invest strategic capital for growth in targeted markets. This gives us the mobility and limits dilution for the shareholders, allowing us to grow multiple markets simultaneously. We have expanded our Cross-border Payment rails with partners coverage in North America, Europe, Asia, China, LATAM, Philippines and have been working with partners covering a large segment of Africa.

“China particularly has been a difficult corridor to manage as tension between the USA and China has created many restrictions and imposed many shutdowns. We remain optimistic as our corridor and partner financial institutions work with us to meet the stringent new guidelines which have allowed to complete a significant digital path and expect the Newly Issued Digital Chinese Yuan to be part of this corridor as well for near future.

“In the Philippines, it has been an exciting year of developments as both capital and tech investments allocation from SMKG with Xpay have resulted in several key developments, licenses and permits within the Country by regulators – adding to that a robust growing pipeline of clients which includes incredible demand for Axepay cross-border payments.

“As 2022 is now upon us and we have not only commercialized several platforms, completed a heavy task load of integrations and certifications to meet compliance in several key markets – we have identified that our ISO and ISV partners will be very strategic in our growth.

xtalpi-unveils-xtalgazer:-a-comprehensive-ai-driven-polymorph-selection-platform

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — XtalPi Inc., a leading global technology company in integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to advance the discovery of groundbreaking medicine and innovative materials, announced today the launch of its proprietary comprehensive solid form discovery and selection platform, XtalGazer. This advanced platform aims to significantly improve the polymorph selection process for the pharmaceutical industry by integrating AI- and automation-powered experimental and computational approaches.

XtalGazer provides a total solution for delivering high-quality polymorph screening and selection methods to expedite drug development and mitigate risks. It represents a paradigm shift in solid-state research, moving from the traditional trial-and-error approach to a data-driven, design-led methodology. The platform provides an expansive suite of foundational tools to accelerate polymorph discovery, characterization, and selection process, empowering pharmaceutical companies to conduct thorough research with less active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in shorter development cycles.
A key component of XtalGazer is XtalCSP, a crystal structure prediction platform to perform global searches of crystal structures for target molecules and the other optional components in the corresponding searching space, offering a deep insight into possible stable forms. Furthermore, crystallization strategy recommendations will provide AI-backed experimental design to help avoid human bias. XtalGazer also utilizes MicroED to rapidly elucidate crystal structures from powder samples, reducing the need for growing single crystals.
XtalPi’s launch of XtalGazer marks another significant step in the company’s ongoing exploration of solid-state research. From crystal structure prediction platforms being one of the first products to launch at XtalPi, to today’s comprehensive polymorph selection platform, XtalPi will keep fulfilling its promise to solving challenging problems in this space. XtalPi will continue to deliver faster, more accurate, and more comprehensive approaches to building an ecosystem for the R&D process in solid-state, pre-formulation and crystallization.
