The concept of “Agentic AI” is currently dominating the tech landscape, with developers racing to integrate generative AI into various industries, and investors eager to back the most promising innovations. Perfect, a new startup based in Israel, is one of the latest companies to receive substantial funding in this sector, as its platform improves hiring processes using AI-based solutions. The firm has managed to raise $23 million in seed capital to develop its platform further and increase its coverage.
A New Recruitment Approach with AI:
Perfect is meant to serve as a co-pilot for recruiters, helping them craft job descriptions, identify the most suitable platforms to list openings, and effectively handle applicant responses. The platform competes with traditional tools from firms such as LinkedIn, Indeed, and Recruiter, as well as integrating with current recruitment systems to enhance their functionality.
Perfect’s AI technology saves recruiters as many as 25 hours per week, making them very efficient. In one year since it was started, the company has seen high growth with its client roster growing from an initial 20 companies to more than 200. Fiverr, eToro, McCann, and Coralogix are some of the big firms that are using Perfect’s technology to streamline their hiring.
From Facial Recognition to AI Recruitment:
Perfect was founded by Eylon Etshtein, best known for launching Anyvision, a controversial facial recognition startup that later rebranded and was eventually acquired. Etshtein’s inspiration for Perfect stemmed from his hands-on experience hiring at Anyvision, where he realized that scaling the recruitment process manually was unsustainable.
With his background in AI, Etshtein had the idea of creating a smart recruitment platform that could automate the recruitment process based on data-driven information. The idea was to build an AI system that could search for the ideal candidates quickly, much like how facial recognition systems can locate specific people in enormous databases.
Following his departure from Anyvision, Etshtein focused on recruitment technology to address inefficiencies in the hiring process. His background in AI-based solutions has made Perfect a leader in the emerging market of AI-powered HR tools.
What Makes Perfect Unique?
The AI hiring space is extremely competitive, with many startups creating solutions to make hiring better. But Perfect stands out by developing its platform from scratch, instead of using third-party Large Language Models (LLMs).
As opposed to several competitors who use integrated LLMs like ChatGPT, Perfect has built its own in-house proprietary AI model that has been trained on vector-based datasets acquired from third-party recruitment websites. By doing this, Perfect can carefully curate and clean data to make better predictions with increased accuracy.
“When we started Perfect, ChatGPT didn’t exist,” Etshtein explained. “There was no architecture available that could accurately analyze career trajectories, understand past experiences, and predict future career paths. That’s why we built our system from scratch.”
Etshtein further pointed out that LLMs are challenged to work with vast amounts of structured hiring data and therefore remain inefficient for specific hiring uses. Perfect’s model, however, works with highly detailed candidate records, enabling recruiters to make knowledge-based decisions with the help of annotated insights.
Funding and Investors:
Perfect’s $23 million funding round has been structured in two parts:
An equity investment of $12 million from Target Global, RTP Global, Pitango, and other early backers, was raised approximately a year ago.
An interest-free SAFE note, convertible to equity in a future round, from Hanaco Ventures, Joule Ventures, and Young Sohn (former president of Samsung and a board member at Arm).
Investor Confidence in AI-Powered Recruitment:
The recruitment sector has been in desperate need of genuine innovation for years, with most processes depending on legacy manual workflows or half-baked AI tools. Perfect is viewed by investors as a huge disruptor in this market.
Lior Prosor, Hanaco Ventures partner, showed firm belief in the startup and said:
“Perfect is utilizing proprietary datasets and integrating AI into industry-specific workflows to completely transform how recruitment operates. By automating a significant portion of recruiters’ daily tasks, the platform is delivering real, measurable impact.”
With inefficient hiring processes affecting companies globally, the need for AI-based “smart hiring” solutions is growing fast. Perfect seeks to fill this gap by automating candidate sourcing and selection, rendering the recruitment process more accurate and time saving.
The Future of Perfect: Enlarging AI Tools for Job Applicants
In addition to enhancing its AI hiring platform, Perfect is growing its offerings to job applicants. The company is creating a free tool that will assist candidates in optimizing job search tactics, resume targeting, and application procedures.
Not only does this enhance the job application process, but it also gives Perfect more data, which can be used to enhance its AI models for recruiters.
A Competitive Market with Room to Grow:
The AI hiring market is filled with competitors such as LinkedIn, HiBob, Workable, Maki, Mercor (worth $2 billion), Tezi, and SeekOut—some of which have seen both explosive growth and layoffs. Despite this competition, Perfect’s proprietary method of AI-based hiring makes it a formidable player in the market.
Based on a solid funding base, a rapidly increasing customer base, and an AI-powered hiring model, Perfect has the potential to reshape the way businesses acquire and hire workers in today’s workforce.

Cardano’s 2026 Summit in Singapore is off after the network’s treasury governance process failed to approve funding for it.
The official event page now says the Summit will not take place on Oct. 5-6 as previously announced. The cause is governance: Cardano Foundation said treasury-funded initiatives are subject to community vote, and the community decided not to proceed with the proposal.
A governance abstraction has turned into a public budget veto. A revised 7.8 million ADA request from the Cardano Foundation, already cut from an earlier bundled proposal, expired below the Delegated Representative threshold.
The proposal recorded 64.61% DRep yes support against a 0.67 treasury-withdrawal threshold. A related Singapore presence still survived the vote, as EMURGO’s separate TOKEN2049 sponsorship proposal passed.
The result is more specific, and more revealing: DReps blocked the dedicated Summit while allowing a related Singapore sponsorship to continue.
A Budget Veto With A Calendar Attached
The revised governance action had a defined business and community scope. It asked for 7.8 million ADA, based on a $0.25 ADA assumption, to fund a $1.95 million Summit budget.
It described a two-day event in Singapore with one Ecosystem Day for builders, DReps, governance sessions, and workshops. That would be followed by an Industry Day aimed at enterprise, institutional, and regulatory audiences.
The Foundation had already revised the ask after community feedback. The proposal said the budget was reduced by 22%, or $550,000, and separated from EMURGO’s TOKEN2049 sponsorship.
It also increased the Foundation’s expected internal resource contribution to reduce external vendor costs. The proposal’s targets show the work the cancellation now affects.
The Summit was pitched as a funnel for 1,200 attendees, 250 enterprise marketing-qualified leads, and 50 strategic meetings within 45 days after the event.
Those numbers were proposal goals rather than delivered results. They positioned the Summit as both a community event and a business-development vehicle at the edge of Cardano’s wider Singapore conference push.
ItemFunding AskStatusSignalRevised Cardano Summit 2026 Singapore7.8 million ADAExpired below DRep thresholdDReps blocked the dedicated event budgetEMURGO TOKEN2049 sponsorshipSeparate sponsorship proposalPassedDReps distinguished the sponsorship from the Summit budget
The threshold mechanics explain why a majority-support figure still failed. Cardano treasury withdrawals require Constitutional Committee and DRep approval, with DRep approval set at 0.67 and no stake pool operator threshold for that action type.

The treasury vote gives Cardano a live new test: can it turn Bitcoin’s idle capital into sticky DeFi liquidity?
Apr 8, 2026·Oluwapelumi Adejumo
The same 67% DRep pass threshold also appears in GovTool’s treasury withdrawal documentation. That design gave DReps the power to stop the withdrawal even after 64.61% yes support.
A funding action can draw majority support and still expire when the required delegated-stake threshold sits above the final vote total.
For Cardano, that is the point of the system and the source of the problem. Treasury governance is supposed to impose discipline on spending.
It is supposed to make institutions justify requests, split bundled asks, respond to feedback, and accept a result when the threshold is missed. This vote shows that machinery working.
It also converts budget discipline into an operational outcome: the Summit disappeared from the 2026 calendar.

The Governance Win Comes With Coordination Risk
Cardano’s broader 2026 funding fight has already been building. Input Output had reduced its annual treasury funding request to $46.8 million as the ecosystem moved away from single-entity dominance and toward community-controlled funding approval.
A later vote brought DRep resistance, abstentions, and concern that proposals tied to Cardano’s technical roadmap were struggling around the same 67% approval area.

Cardano founder warns network could lose its scientists in Input Output’s 33M ADA funding vote fails
Input Output faces an unprecedented funding crisis as decentralized governance members hesitate to approve the 2026 development roadmap.
May 22, 2026·Oluwapelumi Adejumo
The Summit cancellation turns that funding tension into a calendar outcome ecosystem participants can see. The proposal itself targeted builders, governance participants, enterprise leads, and strategic meetings.
Those audiences can now observe a planned event being removed by the same treasury system that Cardano is asking them to trust.
So it cuts both ways. On one side, it strengthens Cardano’s claim that on-chain governance has teeth.
The Foundation proposed, revised, and still had to accept that the treasury would withhold funding. The constraint is meaningful precisely because it applied to a request from one of the ecosystem’s central institutions.
On the other side, a governance system that can stop spending also has to prove it can fund high-value work on usable timelines.
If major initiatives repeatedly miss thresholds after late revisions, Cardano may gain budget discipline while losing execution speed. For events, that risk can appear as calendar uncertainty, weaker partner confidence, and fewer clear chances to use large industry gatherings as distribution moments.
The failed Summit vote also complicates Cardano’s institutional narrative. The revised proposal argued that Singapore would put Cardano in front of enterprise, financial, and regulatory audiences during TOKEN2049 week.
DReps could treat that strategic goal and the budget request as separate questions. Outside the governance process, the visible outcome is simpler: Cardano goes into 2026 without its dedicated Singapore Summit.
ADA’s market context gives the story a financial backdrop. On June 1, ADA traded near $0.23, a little more than 2% lower over 24 hours, with market capitalization around $8.4 billion and 24-hour volume around $360 million.
The vote shows how treasury scrutiny can shape the ecosystem’s public calendar as well as its balance sheet.
The next test is whether Cardano can turn this veto into a clearer funding process instead of another source of institutional drag. Future treasury proposals may face pressure to show tighter budgets, cleaner separation from adjacent sponsorships, and stronger evidence that spending creates measurable ecosystem value.
The Summit vote makes decentralization operational. DReps can now restrain core institutions in public.
The question is whether Cardano can pair that restraint with enough coordination to keep building, selling, and showing up where the next wave of users and institutions are making decisions.
Neutral-density (ND) filters are best known for their use in reducing the amount of light that reaches a camera sensor, which allows longer exposure times or wider apertures to be used even in bright lighting conditions. In theory, such filters should just lower the intensity of all wavelengths equally so that the color remains the same. However, in reality a number of ND filters have been found to cause slight shifts in their color balance.
Why Colour Shift Matters
The color shift is a transformation that is against the very basic idea of an ND filter: to keep the colors neutral. A filtered image that has been favored by certain wavelengths over others gets not only a tint but also the characters-blue, magenta, or green-that identify the type of the distorted colors. This is becoming a serious issue in professional photography, landscape work, or long‐exposure scenes where accurate color reproduction is critical. Color casts may make color correction more difficult, and thus more time may be spent in post‐processing, while in the worst cases, color casts may remain visible even after adjustments have been made.
How Colour Shift Arises in ND Filters
One of the leading causes of color shift is the different wavelength treatment of the filter. An appropriately made ND filter should reduce the intensity of the light in a uniform manner for all the wavelengths that fall within the visible range. If a filter can’t do this, it will let certain wavelengths (likely infrared or ultraviolet) pass more freely, causing unwanted tints in the image. When infrared is leaked, it causes magenta or red casts, whereas if ultraviolet is not adequately blocked, it will lend a cooler, bluish tone to the image.
Conclusion
The color shift of ND filters is the hidden cost that not only impedes their smooth operation but also compromises the fidelity of images. It results from spectral imbalance, substandard coatings, or materials of low quality-these issues become more apparent with heavy filtering or when using a high-resolution device. While white balance correction or post-processing can alleviate some of the symptoms, they cannot always bring back the original color, especially if the cast is uneven or of a high degree.

On Thursday, Chicago’s Cboe Exchange submitted four separate applications to the Securities and Exchange Commission, seeking approval to list and trade spot XRP ETFs from WisdomTree, Bitwise, 21Shares, and Canary.
Major asset managers are now vying to launch the first spot XRP ETFs in the U.S., following Bitcoin and Ethereum’s breakthroughs last year, even though some on Wall Street have yet to see “full-throated demand” for crypto ETFs.
And even with the increased attention from issuers, the world’s fourth-largest crypto has continued to fall, down 25% over the last two weeks after edging close to its all-time high just below $3.40 in late January.
It’s part of a broader crypto slump this year, which has continued to cool following a heady rally late last year following President Donald Trump’s victory to a second term.
In any case, Thursday’s filings, alongside others this year, would push XRP into uncharted territory, as the asset has yet to receive the clear regulatory status granted to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
All four applicants lean heavily on July 2023’s partial victory in the ongoing SEC v. Ripple Labs case, which seeks to establish whether XRP—a digital asset closely associated with Ripple—should be classified as a security under Federal law.
Cboe “believes it is applying proper legal standards in making a good faith determination that XRP is not under these circumstances a security under federal law,” the filings state.
The applications come amid an ongoing SEC appeal of the Ripple ruling to the Second Circuit, in which the regulator seeks to reverse the classification and overturn the decision that held that programmatic XRP sales to retail investors did not constitute investment contracts.
Unlike previous crypto ETF approvals, XRP lacks an established CME futures market, a key requirement that the SEC had sought during its approval for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
It follows Cboe’s filings for four separate Solana ETFs last week, which were submitted again after addressing the SEC’s concerns last year. Those included concerns centered on market integrity, investor protections, and regulatory uncertainty.
Asset managers are implementing protective measures to bolster their chances of regulatory approval, including sourcing the token from secondary markets rather than directly from Ripple Labs, according to the text of WisdomTree’s filing.
The move aims to distance the ETF from Ripple Labs, which remains closely associated with XRP but has no formal affiliation with the proposed fund.
Measures, such as surveillance and market monitoring, custody with licensed third-party custodians, holding XRP in cold storage, and a means to halt intraday trading, meanwhile, aim to shore up concerns previously flagged in the past.
The SEC has 45 days to review the applications once published in the Federal Register, with possible extensions of up to 90 days.

Blockchain sharding, worded in the most succinct way possible, is the division of network activity into smaller, more manageable parts, to enhance performance and scalability. Execution sharding, more specifically speaking, involves breaking down the execution of smart contracts into smaller, more efficient pieces. Tahir Mahmood, co-founder of KRNL, and kOS, the company’s flagship product, are disrupting the execution sharding landscape with a fresh, innovative, and breakthrough approach
Should KRNL’s approach genuinely differ from traditional methods, such as data sharding, network sharding, and other approaches to execution sharding, it would prove critical to the future of dApps.
Sharding in Web3
Execution sharding is typically done using co-processors or separate environments, which can introduce inefficiencies and centralization issues. “Currently, the way people implement the equivalent of execution sharding is they tend to do it from the wallet level, or a different layer and different network altogether, as a way of managing the execution,” Tahir explains. “What we’re doing within KRNL is happening natively on the node, so that way it’s part of the standard transaction flow. It’s not a separate network, and it’s not a separate environment.”
People currently consider execution sharding to be tied to co-processors, which are dedicated environments. KRNL has an alternative approach, Tahir explains, “What we’re doing is we’re bringing the concept that all these layer ones and layer twos with all this functionality built on them, can be exposed without having to create unique specific environments, which is actually what co-processors are,” Tahir adds.
KRNL’s breakthrough solution
KRNL’s approach to execution sharding is fundamentally different from others looking to solve the sharding dilemma.
“Some protocols and projects are sharding at the consensus layer of the blockchain. Others are doing it as a proxy layer in front-end of the wallet but this places it outside of the native Ethereum architecture. This leads to a solution that lacks critical security,” Tahir explains. “We are taking a different approach by doing it natively on the node. This is a best-of-both-worlds scenario, making you natively part of the transaction flow, while allowing you to run computation pre-transaction with the requisite security.”
This approach allows KRNL to create a more efficient and secure system with kOS. Tahir states that
“We’re creating something that is much more than co-processors, which are dedicated environments. What we’re doing is exposing the functionality on different chains without having to create unique specific environments.”
kOS is being dubbed the “Superconnector”, offering app builders frictionless access to functions natively on the chain, making it inherently different from the existing suite of execution sharding solutions on the market. Unlike what LayerZero (LZ) does for assets, KRNL’s Superconnector makes boundless functionality available anywhere and by anyone, but with a more decentralized and secure approach. This ensures that application builders can access and utilize functions across different chains with minimal overhead, enhancing both performance and security.
Taking execution sharding omni-chain
KRNL’s long-term vision, Tahir shares, is to create a holistic ecosystem that enables developers to build truly decentralized applications without the inefficiencies and centralization issues that come with co-processors and other existing solutions. Thus, by enabling the execution of functions across multiple chains, KRNL is paving the way for more efficient and secure dApp development.
“We’re able to utilize the whole plethora of all those environments natively as they are, without having to do the heavy lifting to create something that is unique and specific as a co-processor,” Tahir notes.

KRNL’s Superconnector, kOS, is a reimagining of how execution sharding should be implemented. By enabling frictionless access to functions natively on-chain, KRNL breaks down all barriers to omni-chain dApp building. Make note, this is a game-changer for worldwide, democratized, and streamlined dApp developments. Even more importantly for developers, they will be able to register and monetize the features they create on KRNL’s upcoming marketplace.
Tahir & KRNL’s Future Vision
Tahir aims to expand KRNL technology from Ethereum to other EVM and non-EVM chains, creating a holistic ecosystem. “We see developers and builders being able to build feature-rich real-world applications with very little work, almost no code, and low-code solutions,” Tahir states.
This approach will allow developers to build more robust applications more quickly and efficiently.
“You’re now able to say, ‘I want to do XYZ on chain and off chain in the Web2 world,’ because that’s what really brings real-world applications to life,” Tahir adds.
KRNL’s innovative approach to execution sharding through the Superconnector will redefine how we think about decentralized applications. The future of execution sharding lies in KRNL’s natively on-chain approach, which is set to revolutionize the Web3 landscape, making real-world applications more accessible and robust.
SASKATOON, SK / ACCESS Newswire / May 7, 2026 / Latch AI has officially launched its AI-native retention engine, designed to help businesses retain their existing clients and recover revenue otherwise lost through silent churn. Founder and CEO Alisha Esmail, with over 10 years of experience in brand building, customer experience, AI integration, and systems design, created the platform to address a critical gap in how businesses manage customer relationships.
Most businesses obsess over top-of-funnel sales while their existing clients slip away unnoticed. Latch AI was built to solve this gap by giving businesses a clear, real-time view of client health and the exact messaging needed to act on it before it’s too late.
The platform connects to a business’s existing tools including HubSpot, Stripe, Slack, GoHighLevel, ClickUp, Typeform, Freshdesk, Mixpanel, G Suite, Gmail, and more, to analyze client health signals. It categorizes every client into one of three health tiers: at risk, stable, or ready for expansion. Clients who are at risk receive immediate attention recommendations. Stable clients continue on their current path. Clients flagged as ready for expansion are surfaced for referral asks, renewals, or upsell opportunities. Every recommendation comes with hyper-personalized messaging suggestions, not generic templates.
Latch AI is designed to be lightweight and easy to implement. Unlike many tools that require lengthy configuration and overwhelm teams with irrelevant data, Latch AI connects to the tools businesses already use and handles the heavy lifting of configuring the system to their specific data. The platform currently serves marketing agencies, SaaS companies, coaches, and clinics, with plans to expand into additional industries.
Early results from beta clients have been significant. In one instance, Latch AI identified over $650,000 in missed opportunities for a single business during one quarter. Revenue that was walking out the door through neglected follow-ups and silent churn. Another client discovered nearly $500,000 in recoverable revenue through better retention practices.
Latch AI is like having a CS team in your back pocket without the overhead. Whether a business has a dedicated customer success team or not, Latch helps them focus on what only humans can do while handling the data analysis and follow-up recommendations.
As AI drives down the cost of services, commoditization becomes inevitable. The only sustainable differentiator becomes client experience and retention. Latch AI is built for this shift, helping businesses keep their existing clients while competitors race to the bottom on price.
