Aligned allows fintechs and institutions to build financial products on Ethereum, with one-click solutions for wallets, rollups, interoperability, and zero-knowledge services.

Today, Aligned, a full-stack Ethereum infrastructure project, has launched $ALIGN*, the native token of its ecosystem, with listings on major exchanges. Aligned is working to turn Ethereum into the world’s financial backend, and its ecosystem is the single integration fintechs, institutions, and enterprises use to build financial products on Ethereum.

Less than one percent of the world’s assets are onchain, and most of what has moved sits on Ethereum as stablecoins, tokenized treasuries, and wrapped assets. Building on top of them is still harder than it should be. A fintech going onchain usually signs with multiple vendors, one for wallets, another for scalability solutions (including rollups and proving systems), then spends months wiring them together and keeping them in sync. There is no standard way to ship a financial product on Ethereum yet.

Aligned was built to fix that. It’s built in close collaboration with LambdaClass, a company behind key contributions across the Ethereum ecosystem, including work on Starknet, zkSync, Polygon Miden, and EigenCloud (formerly EigenLayer), as well as Ethrex (the execution client which powers Aligned’s Rollup-as-a-Service) and lambdaworks, a cryptography library written in Rust. By integrating with Aligned, users can access wallets, rollups, interoperability, and zero-knowledge services through a single stack.

Aligned ships the stack one piece at a time:

• Proof Aggregation Service: live on mainnet alpha. Batching the proofs a rollup generates so verification stays cheap as Ethereum scales.
• Wallet-as-a-Service: MVP already launched. Users sign in with Google or Face ID and get a real Ethereum wallet, with no seed phrases, extensions, or gas fees.
• Rollup-as-a-Service, the LambdaVM, and the interoperability protocol: in development. The LambdaVM is Aligned’s RISC-V zkVM (zero-knowledge virtual machine), built in collaboration with LambdaClass and 3MI Labs. Each ships as it’s ready.

The world’s assets are moving onto Ethereum, and Aligned is creating the stack that makes it easy to build on. In the future, $ALIGN will be available as an option to pay for the services across that stack, from Proof Aggregation to Wallet-as-a-Service. As more teams build on Aligned, it will be the asset they use to pay for that usage. It is a utility token. It is not equity, a share, or a claim on revenue or dividends, and it does not promise a yield or a price.

$ALIGN has a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens, with about 16% circulating at launch. The full allocation and the Genesis airdrop are laid out in the ALIGN tokenomics. The airdrop was distributed across several waves spanning developers and researchers, the Discord and Galxe communities, distinguished contributors to Ethereum and ZK such as Protocol Guild, L2BEAT, ZachXBT, and ZK Podcast, and holders of ecosystem tokens including Starknet, Mina, zkSync, Polygon, Scroll, Taiko, and EigenCloud.

Aligned is committed to Ethereum by choice, focusing all of its efforts on it. Through the rest of the year, the team plans to ship the remaining pieces of the stack and grow the number of products built on it. The longer-term goal is to make building a financial product on Ethereum a single decision, not a systems-integration project.

About Aligned

Aligned builds the tools that turn Ethereum into the world’s financial backend. It gives fintechs, institutions, and enterprises one integration for wallets, rollups, interoperability, and zero-knowledge services, so they can build real financial products on Ethereum instead of assembling a stack from separate vendors. Users can learn more at alignedlayer.com.

*$ALIGN is the native asset of the Aligned ecosystem, built on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token and also available on Base, with a fixed total supply of 10 billion and an initial circulating supply equal to approximately 16% of the total token supply. It will be used across the Aligned stack. $ALIGN is not equity, a share, or a claim on revenue or dividends. This announcement is informational only and is not financial advice.

Florida Addiction and Recovery Center has released a localized guide to help Fort Lauderdale families identify early warning signs of substance use disorder before a life-threatening crisis occurs. Led by Founder Myers Forrest, the 24/7 facility aims to bridge the gap between early awareness and life-saving, specialized addiction treatment.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States, 21st Aug 2026 — Florida Addiction and Recovery Center, a premier addiction treatment facility based in Fort Lauderdale, has announced a new community awareness guide aimed at helping local families recognize the critical warning signs of drug and alcohol dependence. As South Florida continues to navigate a complex behavioral health landscape, early identification remains the single most effective tool in preventing fatal overdoses and long-term harm.

“Waiting until someone hits ‘rock bottom’ is a dangerous misconception that puts lives at risk,” said Myers Forrest, Founder of Florida Addiction and Recovery Center. “Our goal with this initiative is to give Fort Lauderdale families the tools to spot warning signs early so they can get their loved ones high-quality, compassionate care before a situation becomes catastrophic.”

Recent behavioral health assessments show that roughly 60% of individuals struggling with substance use disorder only receive professional intervention during an acute medical or legal emergency. Florida Addiction and Recovery Center emphasizes that intervention during the earlier stages dramatically improves long-term recovery outcomes.

5 Early Warning Signs of Substance Use Disorder

1. Unexplained Changes in Routine or Energy: Dramatic shifts in sleep schedules, sudden exhaustion, or uncharacteristic bursts of hyperactive energy.
2. Behavioral Shifts and Secrecy: Increased isolation, withdrawal from family gatherings, defensive behavior when questioned, or secretive habits.
3. Neglect of Personal and Professional Responsibilities: Declining performance at work or school, unkempt personal hygiene, and abandoned hobbies or passions.
4. Unexplained Financial Issues: Unclear expenditure, frequently borrowing money, or sudden missing valuables in the household.
5. Physical Health Changes: Sudden weight changes, bloodshot eyes, tremors, or persistent physical ailments without a clear medical cause.

For residents in Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas, Florida Addiction and Recovery Center offers 24/7 support and personalized treatment plans tailored to individual recovery needs.

With the South African summer season roughly six weeks away, Designer Pool Covers is asking a simple question: is your pool summer ready?

Germiston, Gauteng, South Africa, 21st Aug 2026 — With the South African summer season roughly six weeks away, Designer Pool Covers is asking a simple question: is your pool summer ready? The company, which serves pool owners through branches in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape, is encouraging homeowners to service their covers and check their equipment now, before the warmer months drive up pool usage. According to the company, an uncovered pool loses heat from its surface, requires more filtration and chemicals, and loses substantial water to evaporation — costs that a well-maintained cover can largely prevent. Designer Pool Covers recommends an annual cover service ahead of the summer season to protect that investment.

Designer Pool Covers designs, supplies and installs four cover systems for both new and existing pools: thermal blankets, pet and child safety covers, slatted automatic pool covers and automatic vinyl safety covers. The company’s PoolDeck system retracts neatly into a deck-mounted cassette, while the vinyl safety covers provide a firm, secure surface for families with children and pets. Regional teams in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape provide on-site, face-to-face customer service, with quality construction and direct access to replacement parts through the company’s annual service programme.

The science behind the summer-readiness message is straightforward. Studies cited by the company show that a high-quality pool cover can reduce water loss due to evaporation by up to 95 percent. Beyond conserving water, covers trap heat at the pool’s surface, which lowers heating costs; they also keep leaves and debris out of the water, reducing the time, filtration and chemicals required to keep a pool clean. With high temperatures and strong sun across the country in summer, Designer Pool Covers says a correctly fitted and serviced cover is one of the simplest ways to keep a pool usable, affordable and welcoming all season.

“For pool owners across South Africa, the question of summer readiness starts long before the first hot day,” said Willem de Wet, regional manager at Designer Pool Covers. “An annual service ahead of the season ensures the cover, tracks, motors and seals are in working order, so the pool is ready when the family is.”

In practical terms, the company recommends that pool owners book their pool cover maintenance during spring, before peak-season demand. A service visit covers inspection, cleaning and replacement of worn parts — steps the company says prevent small problems from becoming expensive repairs mid-summer. Pool owners can book a service or request a quote through the Designer Pool Covers website, where the full range of thermal, safety and automatic options is detailed by product.

About Designer Pool Covers: Designer Pool Covers has been a supplier and installer of automatic and manual pool covers in South Africa since 2012, with more than a decade of industry experience and branches in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape. The company offers thermal blankets, pet and child safety covers, PoolDeck slatted automatic covers and automatic vinyl safety covers for new and existing pools, with regional service teams and annual maintenance programmes.

B&W Productions, the 33-year-old event management company that has delivered more than 10,000 events across South Africa, today announced the launch of the Amazing Events guide.

Randvaal, Gauteng, South Africa, 21st Aug 2026 — B&W Productions, the 33-year-old event management company that has delivered more than 10,000 events across South Africa, today announced the launch of the Amazing Events guide, a new website feature profiling the country’s upcoming expos, festivals, races and concerts for the 2026-2027 season. The guide consolidates dates, venues, audience profiles and recommended activation angles for dozens of major national events, from Test rugby to music festivals and industrial trade shows. It is designed to help marketing and brand teams identify where their target audiences gather — and plan brand activations months in advance.

The guide’s launch edition spans fixtures through February 2027, including sports events such as the Springboks v All Blacks Test Series, the Absa RUN YOUR CITY Tshwane 10K, the Isuzu IRONMAN 70.3 and the Betway Summer Cup; music events including Galaxy 947 Joburg Day, the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz and Up The Creek; cultural fixtures such as the Cape Town Minstrel Carnival, the Hermanus Whale Festival and MACUFE; and business gatherings including Electra Mining Africa, AI Expo Africa, Investing in African Mining Indaba and African Energy Week. Each listing includes dates, venue, expected audience and the “activation angle” — guidance on how a brand can show up meaningfully at the event. Users can mark the events they plan to attend and request a scoped proposal directly from B&W.

“Brands consistently ask the same question: where should the budget go this season?” said Bibi Burness, founder of B&W Productions. “The Amazing Events guide is built from that conversation. It takes the guesswork out of calendar planning by showing every expo, festival, race and concert worth putting a brand behind this year, with the audiences and activation angles attached.” [Quote is a draft for client approval]

The guide is underpinned by audience research conducted by the company: B&W analyzed 820 TikTok posts across 34 of the 56 events measured to gauge audience engagement and reach. The analysis found, for example, that In The City Johannesburg generated more than 2.2 million TikTok views across 32 posts, while the Festival of Motoring drew 751,000 views across 18 posts and the Galaxy 947 Joburg Day 683,000 views across 26 posts. That intelligence feeds the audience profiles published in each listing.

The launch extends the company’s track record of more than 10,000 events and 150,000 brand executions delivered for more than 500 corporate clients, including South African Breweries, AB InBev, Castle Lite, Unilever, Distell, ABSA, MTV, GSK and Powerade. B&W was named Top Event Supplier 2025 by South African Breweries, and its concert-production credits include infrastructure and bar services for Pharrell Williams, Usher, Post Malone and Kanye West. The company operates from a 2,000-square-metre warehouse with a fleet of 10-plus trucks and a team of more than 30 professionals, working nationally across Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and Polokwane.

“South African brands need a clear view of the season ahead to commit budgets with confidence,” Burness added. “This guide puts the full national events calendar in one place, so decisions are driven by data rather than hunches.” The company plans to refresh the guide each season and expand the number of events measured. Brands are invited to mark the events they plan to attend and request a proposal through the website.

About B&W Productions: Founded in 1993 by Bibi Burness and headquartered in Randvaal, Gauteng, B&W Productions is a South African experiential events and brand activation company. It has delivered more than 10,000 events and 150,000 brand executions for corporate clients including South African Breweries, AB InBev, Castle Lite, Unilever, Distell, ABSA, MTV, GSK and Powerade, with concert production for artists including Pharrell Williams, Usher, Post Malone and Kanye West.

Homeowner-focused solar support company is building a carefully selected network of licensed, bonded and insured independent professionals committed to quality workmanship, honest communication and long-term customer care.

United States, 21st Aug 2026 – Solar Lumen Systems today announced a national expansion effort focused on developing relationships with respected solar contractors, electricians and service professionals throughout the United States. The company is seeking qualified independent partners who meet applicable licensing, bonding and insurance requirements, maintain strong reputations in the communities they serve and share a commitment to putting homeowners first.

The expansion supports the mission behind Solar Rescue, the company’s homeowner-support initiative for people who need assistance with an existing solar system. Many homeowners invested in solar expecting reliable performance and long-term support. Years later, some cannot reach their original installer, have lost access to monitoring, are concerned about declining performance or need help understanding whether aging equipment should be repaired, replaced or upgraded.

Solar Lumen Systems was created to help homeowners find a more responsible path forward. The company focuses on listening first, helping homeowners understand their systems and concerns, coordinating evaluations and connecting eligible projects with appropriately qualified independent professionals.

“A homeowner’s need for support does not end when the installation is complete,” said Abraham Gardner, co-founder of Solar Lumen Systems. “The panels may remain on the roof for decades, but companies close, technology changes and a family’s energy needs can grow. Homeowners deserve clear answers, honest guidance and access to professionals who will treat their homes and their investment with respect.”

Rather than attempting to build the largest possible contractor list, Solar Lumen Systems is focused on developing the right relationships. Prospective partners are expected to demonstrate appropriate credentials, relevant experience, financial and operational reliability, strong communication practices and a record of responsible customer service. Licensing, registration, bonding, insurance and permitting requirements vary by state and project, and participating professionals must satisfy all applicable requirements for the work they perform.

“We are not looking for just any contractor,” Gardner said. “We are looking for the right partners. A license is essential, but it is not the entire standard. We also care about reputation, responsiveness, workmanship and how a homeowner is treated before, during and after a project. Our name and the contractor’s name are both attached to that experience, so trust must come first.”

Solar Lumen Systems is particularly interested in connecting with established professionals capable of supporting services such as solar system evaluations, monitoring and performance concerns, inverter replacement, electrical improvements, battery backup, system modernization, maintenance and repair.

For selected partners, the relationship is designed to offer more than a traditional referral. Solar Lumen Systems supports homeowner education, marketing, initial communication, appointment coordination and sales development so qualified professionals can focus more of their attention on technical evaluation, project planning and quality execution.

The company believes the strongest partnerships are built around shared accountability. Homeowners should understand who is responsible for each part of the process, what work is being proposed and why it may be appropriate. Contractors should receive accurate project information, clear expectations and professional communication. Solar Lumen Systems intends to create a structure in which each party understands its role and the homeowner remains at the center of the relationship.

This approach reflects a larger purpose. Solar Lumen Systems is not simply pursuing new installations. Its mission includes helping protect investments homeowners have already made. Many existing systems still have years of potential value, but homeowners may need education, monitoring assistance, maintenance, updated equipment or a qualified professional willing to evaluate a system installed by another company.

“There is an entire group of solar homeowners who feel forgotten,” Gardner added. “Some have called multiple companies and been told that no one will service a system they did not install. Others do not know whether their system is working as expected. We want those homeowners to know that losing contact with the original installer does not necessarily mean they are out of options.”

The national partner search will be conducted carefully and market by market. Solar Lumen Systems will evaluate potential relationships based on applicable credentials, service capabilities, reputation, communication standards and alignment with the company’s homeowner-first philosophy. Participation is not guaranteed, and prospective partners may be asked to provide licensing information, proof of insurance, references, service history and other documentation relevant to qualification.

Solar Lumen Systems also welcomes conversations with reputable regional contractors and electricians who have strong crews and technical capabilities but want support generating and developing new project opportunities. The company’s objective is to create long-term partnerships that can grow responsibly while maintaining consistent standards for homeowner communication and project quality.

Qualified solar contractors, electricians and service providers interested in being considered for future opportunities can contact Solar Lumen Systems at info@solarlumensystems.com or visit solarlumensystems.com. Homeowners seeking help with an existing solar system may also visit the website or call (877) 471-6555.

Service availability varies by location. Work requiring contractor registration, trade licensing, permits, contracting, installation, repair, inspection or warranties is performed by appropriately qualified independent contractors or service providers.

ABOUT SOLAR LUMEN SYSTEMS

Solar Lumen Systems helps homeowners understand, protect and improve their existing solar investments through education, solar health evaluation coordination, monitoring and performance support, battery backup and system-upgrade planning, referrals and appointment coordination. Through Solar Rescue, the company seeks to provide a responsible starting point for homeowners who have questions about an existing solar system or no longer have access to their original installer.

Brendale 4500, Queensland, Australia, 21st Aug 2026 – Cafe Solutions, a renowned supplier of café and restaurant furniture, has outlined the bar table and bench seating options available to hospitality operators planning venue fitouts, following sustained interest from café, bar and restaurant owners seeking to make better use of perimeter walls, standing zones and narrow floor areas.

The information covers the categories the company stocks for elevated dining formats, including poseur tables, bar height tables with a range of base styles, and bench seating configured for both fixed and freestanding installation. Cafe Solutions has stated that the material is intended to help operators compare specifications before committing to a layout, rather than to promote any single product line.

Bar height furniture has become a common feature of Australian hospitality venues over the past decade, particularly at sites where floor space is limited or where operators want to separate casual drinking areas from seated dining. Tables at bar height generally sit between 1050mm and 1100mm, compared with the 720mm to 750mm standard used for dining tables. The difference allows venues to accommodate patrons standing or seated on stools within the same footprint, and to adjust that mix through the course of a trading day.

Bench seating serves a related purpose. Fixed benches running along a wall or window can seat more patrons per linear metre than individual chairs, and they remove the need for circulation space behind each seat. Cafe Solutions stocks bench units in timber, upholstered and powder coated steel finishes, with options suited to indoor dining rooms as well as covered outdoor areas where exposure to weather is a consideration.

“Operators planning a fitout are usually working to a fixed floor area and a fixed budget, and decisions made about table height and seating type have a direct effect on how many covers a venue can turn over,” said Russell Crawford, Spokesperson of Cafe Solutions. “Setting the specifications out side by side gives owners and designers a clearer basis for those decisions than a product list on its own.”

Base selection is among the questions raised most often by operators specifying elevated tables. Cafe Solutions carries disc bases, cross bases, cast iron pedestals and twin pedestal frames, each of which distributes weight differently. Heavier bases reduce movement at bar height, where the raised centre of gravity makes stability a more significant consideration than it is with standard dining tables. Cross and disc bases suit tighter arrangements because they limit obstruction around a patron’s feet, while twin pedestal frames are more commonly specified for longer communal tables.

Tabletop materials are a further point of comparison. The catalogue includes commercial grade laminate, compact laminate, solid timber and aluminium slat surfaces. Compact laminate and aluminium are typically specified for outdoor and semi covered areas because both resist moisture and ultraviolet exposure, while timber and laminate remain common indoors. Surface choice also affects cleaning routines, an operational factor that hospitality venues weigh alongside appearance and cost.

Cafe Solutions has also drawn attention to layout matters that arise once furniture has been selected. These include the clearance required between tables for staff and patron movement, the provision of seating at accessible heights within a venue, and the interaction between fixed bench runs and any future reconfiguration of a floor plan. Operators fitting out a site under a lease with limited tenure often favour freestanding benches, which can be relocated or removed at the end of a term without alteration to the building fabric.

Delivery timeframes form part of the same planning process. The company ships across Australia and maintains stock holdings intended to shorten the interval between order and installation, a factor that carries weight for venues working to a fixed opening date or scheduling a refurbishment between trading periods.

“Venue design continues to move toward flexible layouts, and the expectation is that demand for furniture that can be reconfigured will hold steady over the coming years,” said Crawford. “Stock ranges will continue to be reviewed against what operators are specifying, with the emphasis remaining on availability and durability rather than on turnover of styles.”

Brendale 4500, Queensland, Australia, 21st Aug 2026 – Cafe Solutions, a respected supplier of café and restaurant furniture, has reported a steady increase in demand for aluminium seating from hospitality venues across Queensland over the past twelve months. Orders have been drawn from a mix of coastal cafés, hotel courtyards, licensed venues and food precincts operating outdoor dining areas, with the trend recorded consistently across both metropolitan and regional postcodes.

Aluminium seating has become a recurring specification in outdoor dining fit-outs throughout the state, where humidity, salt air and extended periods of direct sunlight place sustained pressure on furniture. Powder-coated aluminium frames resist corrosion in these conditions while remaining comparatively light, allowing staff to reposition and stack seating during weather events or when floor layouts are altered between service periods.

The uptake follows a broader pattern in Queensland hospitality, where operators have expanded alfresco capacity in response to sustained demand for outdoor dining. Footpath dining permits, covered courtyards and rooftop terraces have all contributed to the shift. Furniture specified for these settings is generally assessed on durability, weight and ease of cleaning rather than appearance alone, and material selection has become a more prominent part of the procurement process for venue operators working to fixed refurbishment budgets.

Cafe Solutions holds aluminium seating in a range of frame finishes and slat configurations, including stackable models frequently selected by venues that store furniture overnight or clear floor space for functions. Replacement cycles reported by operators vary according to exposure, with fully uncovered settings typically requiring attention sooner than sheltered courtyards. The company supplies both partial replacements and complete outdoor fit-outs, which allows venues to stage expenditure across multiple financial periods where required.

“Queensland venues are dealing with conditions that test outdoor furniture year round, and aluminium has proven itself as a practical answer to that problem,” said Russell Crawford, Spokesperson of Cafe Solutions. “What stands out in the order data is how consistent the demand has been. It is not concentrated in a single season or a single region. Operators are making material decisions based on how long the furniture will last in an exposed setting, and that has shaped the pattern seen over the past year.”

Distribution is handled from the company’s Brendale premises in Brisbane’s northern corridor, with orders dispatched to venues in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and regional centres including Toowoomba, Rockhampton, Townsville and Cairns. Fast shipping is available across Australia, and stock holding at the Brendale site allows commonly ordered lines to be despatched without extended lead times. Order sizes range from small replacement batches of a few units through to multi-room fit-outs for recently refurbished venues.

Outdoor seating is commonly paired with complementary furniture from the wider catalogue. Table bases and tops rated for outdoor use are ordered alongside seating in many cases, while bar stools and bench seating are specified for venues incorporating counter service or communal dining formats. The catalogue also extends to indoor furniture and commercial sinks, which allows operators to source front of house and back of house requirements through a single supplier.

Practical guidance provided to venues covers measurement of available floor area, spacing between tables to maintain circulation, and the storage footprint of stackable models. Maintenance recommendations are straightforward and centre on routine cleaning with mild detergent, periodic inspection of glides and fixings, and prompt attention to any surface damage that exposes the frame beneath the powder coating. Venues in coastal locations are generally advised to increase cleaning frequency to manage salt accumulation.

“The expectation is that demand for outdoor seating will remain steady as venues continue to make use of alfresco areas throughout the year,” said Crawford. “Planning for the coming period is focused on maintaining stock depth in the most frequently ordered finishes and configurations so that lead times remain predictable. Operators working to refurbishment schedules need certainty around delivery, and that will continue to guide how inventory is managed.”

Cafe Solutions supplies café and restaurant furniture to hospitality operators throughout Australia from its base at Brendale in South East Queensland. The catalogue covers chairs, tables, bar stools, bench seating and sinks for indoor and outdoor settings, with shipping available nationally. The reported uptake in aluminium seating reflects ordering patterns recorded across the Queensland customer base over the past twelve months.

Lido-powered platform automates document extraction, eligibility review, deadline tracking, and packet preparation for Federal IDR claims under the No Surprises Act.

United States, 21st Aug 2026 – IDRClaimsProcessing.com has launched a workflow automation platform for provider teams processing Federal IDR claims under the No Surprises Act. The platform, powered by Lido, is designed for hospitals, physician groups, revenue cycle teams, and billing companies that manage recurring out-of-network reimbursement disputes and currently handle that work through spreadsheets, shared drives, and manual document review.

The platform accepts claim exports, EOBs, EOPs, remittance documents, and payer PDFs and extracts structured claim data from those files. It then applies rules to identify IDR-eligible claims, flag missing fields, detect duplicates, and surface date issues. From there it generates work queues organized by deadline and status, prepares case packets for negotiation and arbitration support, and tracks filing windows, entity selection deadlines, RFI responses, determinations, and payment follow-up.

The launch coincides with a reduction in the Federal IDR administrative fee to $15 per party per dispute for disputes initiated on or after June 11, 2026, down from prior levels. The lower fee makes a broader range of lower-dollar disputes economically viable to pursue, though the operational bottleneck for most teams shifts to throughput rather than filing economics. Finding eligible claims, extracting the relevant data, and preparing a complete packet within the applicable window remains a manual and time-intensive process for teams without automation in place.

IDRClaimsProcessing.com is positioned as document and workflow automation software rather than an outsourced IDR service. Provider teams that already have reimbursement staff, an IDR partner, or a legal strategy in place can use the platform to support that existing operation. It works from the files and exports most billing systems already produce and does not require replacement of existing RCM infrastructure.

The platform is operated by Lido and is available by demo request.
