New York, NY

RUNWAY SHOW VIDEO

SKYNEA, a new name in advanced augmented reality eyewear and connected accessories, made its global debut during New York Fashion Week on the runway of The Blonds’ 20th Anniversary Show, introducing its technology to the world through one of fashion’s most theatrical stages.

Three customized SKYNEA AR eyewear designs were created specifically for the runway, with each style developed to coordinate with the spectacular fashion looks conceived by designers David and Phillipe Blond. The result brought technology directly into the visual language of the collection, transforming the glasses into statement accessories rather than traditional wearable tech.

The anniversary runway brought together an eclectic cast of personalities, including Paris Hilton, Aquaria, Gigi Gorgeous, Dominique Jackson, Emira D’Spain, Susanne Bartsch, Brooklyn Van Zandt, Aqua and Lion Babe, celebrating two decades of The Blonds’ signature glamour, spectacle and fearless self-expression.

RUNWAY IMAGERY

For SKYNEA, the runway marked the first public introduction of a brand built around the convergence of fashion, augmented reality and connected wearable technology.

Within 50 grams, SKYNEA’s AR eyewear integrates a powerful suite of technology into a fashion-forward frame. The glasses feature Qualcomm Snapdragon processing, a MicroLED display with up to 1,500 nits of brightness, 640 x480 resolution and a 26-degree field of view, allowing digital information to be viewed directly within the wearer’s line of sight.

Among the eyewear’s most distinctive functions is real-time language translation. The wearer can select the language they need translated, then converse naturally with someone speaking that language. As the other person speaks, the translation appears in real time along the bottom of the lenses, allowing the wearer to follow the conversation without looking down at a phone or separate device.

A built-in Sony IMX681 camera captures high-resolution photography and video, while a five microphone array and two high-fidelity ultra-linear speakers support hands-free communication and audio. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, voice control, multifunction controls and touch gestures further extend the glasses’ capabilities, with compatibility across Android, iOS and HarmonyOS platforms.

The eyewear offers up to approximately six hours of active use, combining visual technology, photography, audio and connectivity in a lightweight design intended for everyday wear.

The glasses are only the beginning of SKYNEA’s vision for wearable technology.

The company is preparing to introduce an expanding collection of connected accessories, including smart rings, brooches and bracelets designed to communicate with the AR glasses and control specific functions directly from the accessory. The approach creates an interconnected fashion ecosystem in which jewelry and eyewear work together, allowing users to interact with technology through pieces designed to be worn as part of a complete look.

Rather than separating technology from personal style, SKYNEA is developing its products around the idea that advanced wearables should function as desirable fashion accessories in their own right.

Making the brand’s first global appearance on The Blonds runway underscored that philosophy. The custom glasses were designed as part of the fashion story, coordinated with individual runway looks and presented alongside the crystal embellishment, sculptural silhouettes and high-impact glamour for which The Blonds are internationally recognized.

With plans to launch on Kickstarter soon, SKYNEA’s New York Fashion Week debut signals the beginning of a broader global rollout of its AR eyewear and connected accessory collection, with additional product launches and availability details to be announced.

Additional fashion show sponsors included Motorola razr, Christian Louboutin and Commando.

The audit, conducted by Consensys Diligence, adds independent verification to an account model where clients hold the keys to their own assets

St. Peterbursg, FL

New Market Trading, a non-custodial onchain wealth management firm, has completed an independent security audit of its client account infrastructure, conducted by Consensys Diligence, one of the industry’s most established blockchain security auditing firms. The audit covered the non-custodial architecture behind every NMT client account, built on Safe’s implementation of the ERC-4337 standard, infrastructure that already secures more than $100 billion in crypto assets industry-wide.

Built On Client Control

Every New Market Trading account is a Safe smart account that the client opens, owns, and controls directly. NMT is granted permission to execute investment strategies inside that account. It cannot withdraw funds or redirect them anywhere else.

That structure is the foundation of the company’s approach to security.

“New Market Trading is the first of its kind,” said Frank Hepworth, founder and CEO of New Market Trading. “We use non-custodial technology to connect investors to the onchain economy in a way legacy institutions cannot. Our clients always maintain full control of their own funds, while still benefiting from the professional management and investment strategies of our team.”

Independently Verified

NMT sought independent, third-party verification of that structure. Consensys Diligence, active in blockchain security auditing since 2017, reviewed the non-custodial account infrastructure that underlies every NMT client account.

The infrastructure itself carries its own track record. Accounts on the platform run on Safe’s implementation of the ERC-4337 standard, technology used industry-wide to secure more than $100 billion in crypto assets. NMT built its account model on that established, widely used infrastructure.

A Continuous Commitment

New Market Trading said the audit is one part of a broader, ongoing security posture. The company also uses AI-driven monitoring on client accounts, designed to catch the kind of mistakes that typically cause self-custody losses, like an unfamiliar signature request, a suspicious transaction, or an approval that doesn’t match a client’s normal activity.

“AI monitoring flags and blocks suspicious transactions before they execute,” Hepworth said. “That takes most self-custody mistakes off the table. They can advise you. They can’t stop you.”

NMT also named Ajdin Kahrović as Chief Technology Officer in August 2026, the same day the company opened publicly to new clients, placing the architect of the platform’s security in that role from day one. 

Kahrović previously built defi.app from launch to more than $40 billion in cumulative trading volume, and now leads all of NMT’s engineering, sets the technical roadmap, and owns the security and reliability of the platform as it scales. Hepworth has said the hire was about giving the company’s technology, and its security, a single owner from the outset.

The company said it will continue to invest in third-party verification and account-level safeguards as its client base grows.

About New Market Trading

New Market Trading is the first wealth management firm to move the investment account itself onto the blockchain. NMT clients own their account via ERC-4337 smart account technology, delegate trading management to the NMT team, who can execute strategies but never withdraw or redirect funds, and gain immediate access to 10,000+ onchain assets, yield products, and active strategies that no legacy provider can offer.

Local roofing experts share insights into the qualities that help homeowners make confident roofing decisions, from proven workmanship and customer satisfaction to communication, accountability, and long-term protection.

Longwood, Florida

John Keller Roofing Highlights the Growing Importance of Reputation, Communication, and Local Expertise for Homeowners Across Central Florida

As homeowners continue to invest in protecting and improving their properties, many are placing a greater emphasis on trust, communication, and local expertise when selecting a roofing contractor. John Keller Roofing is encouraging homeowners throughout Longwood, Orlando, and Central Florida to look beyond price alone and focus on the qualities that contribute to long-term roofing success.

A roof is one of the most important components of any home. While roofing materials and installation methods are important, homeowners are increasingly looking for contractors who communicate clearly, understand local conditions, and have built a strong reputation within the communities they serve.

“Homeowners deserve to feel confident about who they hire,” said John Keller of John Keller Roofing. “Choosing a roofing contractor is about more than repairing or replacing a roof. It’s about working with a company that understands your concerns, communicates throughout the process, and stands behind the work being performed.”

Florida homeowners face unique roofing challenges throughout the year. Heat, humidity, strong winds, heavy rain, and seasonal storm activity can place significant stress on roofing systems. These local conditions make experience and regional expertise especially important when evaluating roofing contractors.

For many homeowners, customer reviews and testimonials have become a key part of the decision-making process. Positive customer experiences provide valuable insight into a company’s professionalism, reliability, communication, and workmanship. Homeowners are increasingly using reviews to determine whether a contractor has a proven history of serving customers successfully.

In response to these trends, John Keller Roofing recently launched a new online homeowner resource focused on helping homeowners understand why trust, communication, reputation, and craftsmanship matter when selecting a roofing contractor. The resource provides information designed to help homeowners make informed decisions when evaluating roofing companies.

The company believes that homeowners should feel comfortable asking questions, comparing options, reviewing customer experiences, and understanding the roofing process before moving forward with a project.

“Trust is earned through consistency and customer service,” Keller added. “Our goal has always been to provide homeowners with quality roofing solutions while building relationships based on honesty, transparency, and professionalism.”

John Keller Roofing serves homeowners throughout Longwood, Orlando, and surrounding Central Florida communities with roofing services that include roof repair, roof replacement, metal roofing, storm-related roofing services, and new construction roofing.

As roofing decisions continue to become more important for homeowners, John Keller Roofing encourages property owners to evaluate contractors based on reputation, communication, local expertise, and overall customer experience in addition to pricing considerations.
