However, fragmented API environments, inconsistent client libraries, and complex migration paths can slow down development and introduce operational risk. By working with Siebly, Bitget is helping developers reduce integration complexity while supporting both its new Unified Trading Account architecture and existing V2 Classic workflows.
Siebly.io provides ready-made developer tools that help trading teams connect to crypto exchanges without building every API connection from scratch. For developers and algorithmic traders, especially those built with JavaScript and TypeScript, they can connect to Bitget faster, reduce technical errors, and spend more time building trading strategies, bots, and market data tools instead of managing complex API integrations.
“UEX is about delivering a better trading experience for users and developers worldwide independent of the assets they trade,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Collaborating with Siebly makes it easier to build reliable tools across Bitget’s unified account architecture, helping traders spend less time on integration and more time building strategies on Bitget.”
Siebly’s SDKs provide comprehensive coverage across Bitget’s ecosystem, including spot trading, futures trading, copy trading, public market data streams, and private account management. For latency-sensitive strategies, the SDK also supports WebSocket API functionality, allowing developers to execute REST-like request-response patterns over a persistent connection and reduce request overhead without the added complexity of managing WebSockets manually.
The SDK also includes built-in support for HMAC, RSA, and Ed25519 authentication, helping developers securely interact with Bitget’s infrastructure while maintaining flexibility across different authentication standards. With consistent development patterns across supported exchanges, Siebly’s tooling is designed to help developers move between platforms with less friction and shorter implementation cycles.
“Developers building automated trading systems need SDKs that are consistent, secure, and tested in production environments,” said Tiago Siebler, Lead Developer at Siebly.io. “By collaborating with Bitget, we are making it easier for developers to integrate with one of the industry’s leading trading ecosystems.”
Bitget’s UEX framework is strengthened with this collaboration by improving the infrastructure layer that connects developers, trading systems, and Bitget’s unified account environment. By making API access more efficient across spot, futures, copy trading, and real-time data, Bitget continues to expand the tools available to retail and professional developers building the next generation of crypto trading applications.

Today, Gradiant announced the early completion of ultrapure water and water recovery systems for a €5 billion semiconductor facility in Dresden, supporting expanded European chip production, improved water efficiency, and stronger supply chain resilience. |
KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 (Bernama) -- Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater solutions, has completed its work for a major new semiconductor manufacturing facility in Dresden, strengthening Europe’s capacity to produce technologies powering an increasingly digital and electrified world.
Representing an investment of approximately five billion euros, the new facility is one of Germany’s largest industrial projects and a significant expansion within Silicon Saxony, Europe’s leading semiconductor cluster. (1 Euro = RM4.65)
The project doubles manufacturing capacity at the customer’s Dresden site and is expected to create approximately 1,000 highly skilled jobs, according to Gradiant in a statement.
It is supported by approximately one billion euro in public funding programmes, including the European Chips Act and the Important Project of Common European Interest. The investment will strengthen European semiconductor supply chains and improve the resilience of industries that depend on advanced chips.
Built for production on 300-millimetre wafers, the facility will manufacture power semiconductors and analogue and mixed-signal technologies that are essential to artificial intelligence (AI) data centres, electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, power grids, and industrial applications.
Gradiant supplied ultrapure water and water recovery systems for the facility, with solutions engineered to meet the stringent purity, reliability, and process consistency requirements of advanced semiconductor fabrication.
The rinse-water recovery systems supplied by Gradiant enable water from selected production processes to be captured and reused for appropriate applications within the facility, supporting efficient resource use and strengthening the resilience of large-scale manufacturing operations.
The facility uses industrial water rather than drinking water for its operations, helping conserve valuable drinking water resources. Internal recycling processes allow production water to be reused multiple times, with a target water recycling rate of up to 45 per cent by 2033.
Gradiant completed its project scope three months ahead of schedule, reflecting close coordination among the company, the customer, and the broader project team, as well as Gradiant’s ability to execute complex infrastructure projects under the semiconductor industry’s rigorous quality, safety, and scheduling requirements.

IFLYTEK LAUNCHES GUIDEX INTELLIGENT INTERACTION AGENT FOR PUBLIC SERVICES
KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 (Bernama) -- iFLYTEK has launched GuideX, an intelligent interaction agent for public service environments, at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2026.
Unlike conventional digital humans that only answer questions, GuideX is built to complete tasks based on three capabilities, namely omnimodal, self-regulation and empathy-driven, according to iFLYTEK in a statement.
The first capability, omnimodal perception, lets GuideX work in crowded venues by fusing voice, face, position, lip movement and spatial context to identify who is speaking, from where and why. It supports more than 30 languages, with 97.35 per cent English recognition accuracy.
In addition, it delivers 95.12 per cent end-to-end accuracy, alongside more than 200 avatars and over 100 ultra-realistic voices. The full chain, from wake-up to response, takes 0.42 seconds even under heavy load.
Meanwhile, the self-regulation capability turns conversations into completed tasks. Once a task is identified, a dual-track mechanism determines how to handle it, with routine cases following fixed policies while complex cases move to adaptive reasoning. Both draw on SkillHub, iFLYTEK's skills platform, which now carries more than 10,000 skills and can be extended without coding.
The empathy-driven capability enables more human-like interactions by reading emotional context and responding accordingly. With users' consent, GuideX combines facial recognition with scene memory to retain service context and preferences, allowing returning users to resume where they left off.
Deployed across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia, Latin America and Africa, GuideX runs on smart terminals, all-in-one machines, transparent displays, web and mobile apps.
iFLYTEK said it also launched the GuideX Navigator Program with eight ecosystem partners spanning government services, transportation, hospitality, tourism and smart commerce.

“With eight satellites now in orbit, seven progressing through commissioning, and initial imagery returning from the May launch, the system is performing as expected,” said EarthDaily Chief Executive Officer, Don Osborne.
Like each spacecraft in the EarthDaily Constellation, EDC-08 carries 16 imagers collecting data across 22 spectral bands, providing the system with the spectral depth and imaging capacity needed to support consistent and comparable measurements across regions, seasons and time.
The latest launch follows the deployment of EDC-02 to EDC-07 in May, with the satellites now progressing through commissioning and returning initial imagery that provides an early indication of system performance.
Purpose-built for broad-area change detection, the EarthDaily Constellation is designed to deliver globally consistent, calibrated daily measurement of the planet. Its imagery is designed to work with EarthDaily's automated change detection analytics to identify meaningful changes across wide areas.
As additional satellites prepare for launch, the constellation is advancing towards daily global land coverage, providing a continuous measurement layer to monitor changes across sectors, including defence and security, agriculture, natural resources, climate resilience and infrastructure.

The milestone marks Launch III for the EarthDaily Constellation and brings the system to the satellite count required for commercial operations, expected later this year, according to a statement.
“EDC-08 reaching orbit and establishing initial contact is another important step in the disciplined deployment of the EarthDaily Constellation.

Booster Robotics' Humanoid Robots Claim All Championship Titles at RoboCup 2026
SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 9 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At RoboCup 2026, the world's premier robotics competition, teams competing on Booster Robotics' humanoid robots swept all championship titles across the Small, Middle and Large divisions. This year, a total of 59 teams from around the world participated in RoboCup 2026, 38 of which competed on Booster robots, including but not limited to Badger Bots (USA), Bahia Robotics Team (Brazil), Berlin United (Germany), B-Human (Germany), HTWK Robots (Germany), HULKs (Germany), Inha-United (South Korea), KURA (UAE), NUbots (Australia), Pumas (Mexico), RedbackBots (Australia), RFC-Tsudanuma (Japan), Rhoban (France), RoboEireann (Ireland), Robo-Erectus (Singapore), Ruhrbot Devils (Germany), rUNSWift (Australia), SPQR Team (Italy), Tech United (Netherlands), UT AustinVilla (USA), whIRLwind Amsterdam (Netherlands), and others.
- Large Division: Champion, Tsinghua Hephaestus; Runner-up, CAU Mountain&Sea; Third place, BISTU Water. All competed on Booster T1.
- Middle Division: Champion, B-Human; Runner-up, HTWK Robots; Third place, Rhoban. All competed on Booster K1.
- Small Division: Champion, Invic; Runner-up, Hamburg Bit-Bots; Third place, GeoHBots. Invic and GeoHBots competed on Booster K1 Air.
The Champion Behind Champions
This widespread adoption signals a fundamental shift in what robotics competitions measure, from "who can build the robot" to "who can make the robot smarter." In past years, teams spent much of their R&D resources building the robot itself from scratch, with significant effort going into mechanical design, hardware development, and basic locomotion control. This year marked a clear inflection point: leading teams focused almost entirely on pushing the boundaries of perception, real-time decision-making, and multi-agent coordination, while Booster Robotics served as the underlying platform, continuing to advance the robots' core leg and foot locomotion capabilities, improving reliability in high-speed running, sudden stops and turns, fall recovery, and sustained motion. This separation of hardware and software lets complex code perform reliably in the real world.
Booster Robotics Builds a Global Embodied Intelligence Ecosystem
Booster Robotics recently launched Booster Studio, the world's first integrated development environment (IDE) built for embodied intelligence, giving engineers, researchers, and developers worldwide a unified platform to program, simulate, and deploy humanoid robot behaviors more efficiently. At the same time, the company officially launched the Booster Champion 3v3 Soccer Tournament (champion.booster.tech/?lang=en), inviting developers and embodied intelligence enthusiasts around the world to compete, collaborate, and help build the future of embodied intelligence together. The competition will expand into more real-world scenarios going forward.
One of the youngest teams at RoboCup 2026 was from Pui Ching Middle School (Macau). Using Booster Studio, these young developers were able to develop, train, and validate their algorithms in a highly realistic digital environment before seamlessly deploying them onto real robots. From top research universities and leading labs to everyday developers and student teams, an open, shared ecosystem for embodied intelligence development is taking shape.
