Amongst a collection of luxurious Hampton homes, this designer beach house capitalizes on its iconic locale and ocean views in the most glorious way

MONTAUK, N.Y., Aug. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Principal interior designer and architect Thierry Despont is well known for creating luxurious spaces that blend comfort and warm sophistication. So when his clients decided to renovate their oceanfront haven, they called on him to elevate the already lovely home. “Imagine moving into a turnkey oceanfront residence by none other than Thierry Despont, the French architect and interior designer involved with such storied properties as the Carlyle Hotel,” asks preeminent listing broker Tim Davis of Corcoran. “Sequestered on nearly 1.5 acres, 180 feet of pristine Atlantic Ocean, this stunning Montauk hideaway awaits its new chapter at the end of a long-gated drive.”

“This is one of the most extraordinary houses in the Hamptons, thanks to its incredible location,” says Thierry Despont. “With Daryl and Steve, we have completely transformed the original house to be the most unique beach house in the Hamptons. We created a double- height living room with a wooden ceiling reminiscent of the hull of a wooden boat. When you are in the house, you feel on the edge of the world, miles away from the bustle of Manhattan connected to nature.”

From the moment you enter this iconic beach house, it’s all about the views. The double-height great room with a wall of clerestory windows floods the room and illuminates throughout while allowing one to soak in the water views. Oversized sliding doors open up to an oceanside deck where one can enjoy alfresco living with the beguiling ocean breeze. Every room of the three-bedroom, four-bath estate is strategically placed to enjoy the endless captivating ocean views. Luxurious with understated elegance, the home features custom cabinetry, beautiful wood floors, high-quality finishes, and appliances.

When night calls, the primary suite draws homeowners upstairs to their own secluded wing. The voluminous suite features dual walk-in closets, a spa-esque ensuite with radiant heated floors and onyx surfaces. The private deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean is ideal for soaking in sunsets and sunrises.

Outdoors several decks and covered spaces provide ample space to entertain amongst the lush setting. Cool off in the large heated gunite pool or wander down a private pathway to the beach. A mere minutes from the famous Gurney’s resort, premier shopping, fine dining, and world-class golf facilities, this beach house appeals to the most discriminating tastes.

216 Old Montauk Hwy, Montauk, NY 11954 is offered at $16,500,000.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — dWallet Labs, a cybersecurity company specializing in blockchain technology, today announced it raised $5M in pre-seed funding led by Node Capital and Digital Currency Group (DCG), and joined by Amplify Partners, Lightshift Capital, Liquid2 Ventures, Collider Ventures, Lemnsicap, Heroic Ventures, Impatient Ventures, Zero Knowledge, Dispersion Capital, Token Bay Capital, Tykhe Block Ventures, Cerulean Ventures and Earl Grey Capital alongside founders and angel investors from Coinbase, Ethereum, Celo, AngelList, Alt, Spearhead, and others. With top cybersecurity experts and cryptographers, dWallet Labs is building solutions on top of the Odsy (pronounced Odyssey: od-uh-see) Network, a secure and programmable decentralized access control layer to all of web3. The funds will be used for building protocols and projects on top of the Odsy Network.

In its short lifetime, blockchain has already gone through several evolutions. The first phase began with the emergence of Bitcoin which introduced decentralized money. Ethereum ushered in the second phase which brought decentralized applications (dApps) to light with smart contracts. Through the implementation of dWallets, Odsy marks the beginning of the third phase, decentralized access control, bringing the industry back to true decentralization.

Web3 has a major access control problem. As the industry continues to grow, it becomes more fragmented with new protocols, assets, and chains, causing access to revert from being completely decentralized (holding the private key directly) to outdated, centralized ways that hold the assets or keys for users. Managing access to decentralized solutions in a centralized way undermines decentralization. This is where a new era of decentralized access control comes in.

dWallets

Dynamic Decentralized Wallets (dWallets) are the trustless access control solution for web3. dWallets are a new blockchain primitive that other projects can build upon and offer programmable access for any other blockchain. A dWallet on the Odsy Network is bound to Wallet Contracts, dedicated smart contracts that manage the access control and privileges for that dWallet.

The dWallet concept will transform how digital assets are stored, used, accessed, and connected to the real world by adding a fully decentralized layer of a dynamic and stateful access control. This will open the door to new possibilities including multi-chain DAOs, granular access sharing, and interoperable infrastructure for DeFi. dWallets will also allow for a full transfer of their ownership, which was impossible before.

“It is rare to witness a totally new decentralized infrastructure allowing many new use cases that were not possible before with the utilization of the dWallet concept,” said Amos Meiri, Founding Partner at Node Capital.

“We’re always looking for novel primitives that will unlock new use cases for blockchain technology. Soon after meeting the dWallet Labs team, we recognized the potential for their dWallet ecosystem to change access control for the better. In turn, dWallets may offer new ownership and transfer capabilities for a more expansive set of complex cryptoassets. We’re excited to support the team and help bring their vision to fruition,” stated Matt Beck, Director of Investments at Digital Currency Group.

Odsy Network

The dedicated blockchain that supports dWallets is the Odsy Network. In the Odsy Network, standard blockchain actions can be done only through dWallets, establishing them as a single, multi-chain access point to all of web3.

“Custody is just the tip of the iceberg, trustless access control is the missing piece of crypto. dWallets and the Odsy Network will connect crypto to the real world with so many new use cases,” says Omer Sadika, Founder and CEO of dWallet Labs, who has his roots in cybersecurity, where he developed the concept of API Security, and founded API Security unicorn, Salt Security. “Today, we find it trivial that we have the appropriate access control, whether that be for a note-taking app or a bank account. However, when it comes to crypto, we have to choose between poor access control we get from blockchains to centralized solutions that defeat the purpose of being decentralized in the first place.”

The Odsy Network was founded by Omer Sadika, David Lachmish, Sean Lee and Yehonatan Cohen Scaly, with the Zug, Switzerland-based Odsy Foundation that will support and develop the wider Odsy ecosystem. dWallet Labs will provide professional services to the Odsy Foundation, and support for organizations building on the Odsy Network.

“The Odsy Network is built as a security-first decentralized network, and it will be governed by the Odsy community,” says Sean Lee, previously CEO of the Algorand Foundation, who serves as Odsy Foundation’s Executive Director. “We are building the Odsy Foundation to support a vibrant Odsy ecosystem with builders and strategic partners to evangelize dWallet use cases for the next 10 years and beyond. The most innovative dWallet applications will come from the community and we will work together to imagine what is possible for the future of web3.”

ABOUT ODSY NETWORK & DWALLETS
The Odsy Network provides a secure, programmable, decentralized access layer to all of web3 through dynamic, decentralized wallets (dWallets). A dWallet is a signing mechanism paired to a public key and constrained by dynamic access control, that operates within a decentralized state machine (e.g. blockchain). dWallets can sign transactions on any blockchain network that leverages the universally adopted signing algorithms (e.g. ECDSA, EdDSA, etc.)

On the Odsy Network, dWallets are bound to Wallet Contracts, dedicated smart contracts that are stateful and Turing-complete, enabling the management of access control and privileges of the dWallets, and the implementation of any protocol on top of the Odsy Network. The Odsy Network is a security-first blockchain that allows for multi-chain interoperability with programmable and transferable wallets. Learn more about Odsy and dWallets at odsy.xyz.

ABOUT DWALLET LABS
dWallet Labs Ltd., based in Tel Aviv, Israel, a cybersecurity company specializing in blockchain technology, is building SingleWallet, the first interface to interact with dWallets on the Odsy Network. The mission of dWallet Labs is to build protocols and solutions on top of the Odsy Network. dWallet Labs will also provide professional services and support for organizations building on the Odsy Network. The team possesses deep knowledge and expertise in cybersecurity, cryptography and blockchain technology. Learn more at dwalletlabs.com.
