Phantom, the leading crypto wallet in the Solana ecosystem, has bought Web3-focused browser extension wallet Bitski, the companies said on Tuesday. The Bitski team will be joining Phantom to bring embedded wallets to Solana, according to a press release. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The recent non-fungible token (NFT) boom, which Bitski enthusiastically supported, saw an expansion of the Web3 ecosystem towards mainstream users, and with it usability, challenges particularly when using mobile devices. Embedded wallets solve some of the issues around adoption, said Phantom's head of growth David Wu.

Hundreds of Kosovars rushed to Pristina airport to travel to EU countries on Monday after visas for Europe's open-borders Schengen zone were waived. Kosovo was the only country in the Western Balkans whose citizens still needed visas to travel to the EU, many of whose members are part of the programme "I do feel as free as a bird now that I can travel all over (Europe)," said Habib Spahiu who was travelling with his son for a two day visit to Vienna. He was part of a group of 50 people who won a state lottery, paid for by the government, taking the trip to mark the visa free process. Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti greeted travellers at the airport. "We have been waiting for to long, this has been a long injustice but finally we made it," Kurti said. The Schengen area allows more than 400 million people to travel freely between member countries without going through border controls.

The study by Coursera, a United States-based training and skills company, shows that the region has been experiencing exponential enrolment growth for professional certificate courses, growing at an average of 80% in the past few years. According to the report, University World News reported that Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, has enrolled 142,000 learners, behind the United States with 1.3 million and India with 654,000 enrolments. The report also noted that Africans are most likely to invest in technology skills like web development and user experience and data science skills like geo-visualisation or data visualisation software. Apart from Nigeria, other countries in the region have also recorded significant growth in enrolment figures. Cameroon, for example, leads in enrolling for technology courses, while those from Zambia lead in seeking studies in data science skills.

Israel has suggested that the long-term aim of its military campaign in Gaza is to sever all links with the territory. Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said that once Hamas had been defeated, Israel would end its "responsibility for life in the Gaza Strip". Before the conflict, Israel supplied Gaza with most of its energy needs and monitored imports into the territory. The statement comes as Israel continues its strikes on Gaza and aid remains blocked on the border with Egypt. The bombardments are a response to attacks by Hamas gunmen on Israel on 7 October, in which at least 1,400 people were killed and 203 taken hostage. Israel is now poised to launch a ground offensive.

The recent closure of Niger’s airspace by military leaders has sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s aviation industry, as airlines flying between Europe and southern Africa are forced to grapple with longer flight distances and increased operating costs. The airspace closure, citing the possibility of military intervention from neighboring states, has led to a rerouting of flights and raised concerns over its impact on travel times and ticket prices for Nigerian travelers. According to the NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) issued by Niger, all flights in the country’s airspace have been restricted, creating a complex challenge for airlines operating between Europe and southern Africa.

Nigeria’s state oil company is spending nearly three billion dollars to rehabilitate the country’s three petroleum refineries, but the petrol they will produce will fall short of the prescribed standard in Africa by 2025 due to high sulphur content.

Worldcoin is a cryptocurrency project that started in 2019 with very high ambitions. It is striving to create a global, decentralized identity system. This unique system is based on human iris scans. According to the project, the iris is a unique and immutable biometric identifier that could create a secure and privacy-preserving way to verify people’s identities. Although the project has been in development since 2019, it didn’t become prominent until 2022, when the AI hype took off. This is because the current CEO of OpenAI Sam Altman, has co-founded the project. OpenAI is the same company that created the innovative AI bot, ChatGPT. Hence it was the success of ChatGPT which brought Sam Altman’s crypto brainchild to mainstream attention.
Worldcoin launched on Monday in cities including London, where pop-up sites had people queuing up to scan their eyeballs using a silver orb. They receive some free cryptocurrency in return, and it's said to be the basis of a new form of digital ID designed for the AI era.

The founders said verified private digital identities will be crucial to distinguish humans from AI online.
