ARAX Brief Company Update
ARAX Holdings Corp. is investing in decentralized technologies and blockchain-based solutions. The first step has been taken by signing an Acquisition LOI and Deal Terms with Core Business Holdings (known as Core Group), which focuses on developing revolutionary FinTech decentralized applications based on the recently released Core Blockchain (as of May 6, 2022). This layer-1 blockchain uses Edwards curve ED448 cryptography and is focused on PoDE (Proof-of-Distributed-Efficiency)—an energy-efficient Proof-of-Work using IoT devices.
ARAX believes the ongoing development—with Core Business Holdings nearing its first software release—marks a paradigm shift beyond Web3, bringing changes that could be seen as Web4.
The software includes the following achievements reached by the development team throughout the year:

Final Words
Management looks forward to the new year and believes 2023 will bring further achievements with new strategic acquisitions currently in the pipeline. The team plans for ARAX to capitalize on resetting insecurities and turmoil brought by centralized trading and asset-management platforms.
