An exemplary method may include receiving a request and data at an onboarding service; sending the request and data to an initiator service; initiating, by the initiator service and at a workflow orchestration engine, a workflow, wherein the workflow is initiated based on the request, and wherein the workflow includes a plurality of activities; registering, by the workflow orchestration engine, the workflow in a unique namespace; generating a worker instance in an application-level container at a compute node; sending, to the worker instance, an activity of the plurality of activities for completion of the activity by the worker instance; communicating, by the worker instance with at least one service, indicating, by the worker instance and to the workflow orchestration engine, that the activity is complete; and persisting, by the workflow orchestration engine, state data for the workflow.

Abstract: Systems and methods for frictionless payments in Web 3.0 and the Metaverse are disclosed. A method may include a buyer bot: monitoring a buyer interaction with a merchant of a digital collectable via a buyer vault/digital wallet, the digital collectable having a cryptocurrency price in a cryptocurrency; determining a fiat currency price in a fiat currency for the cryptocurrency price; receiving, from the buyer vault/digital wallet, conformation of a purchase of the digital collectable at the fiat currency price; executing payment for the digital collectable in the fiat currency at the fiat currency price; transforming the payment in the fiat currency to a digital collectable concierge service designated account; engaging a fiat-to-crypto on-ramp to convert the fiat currency to the cryptocurrency; and providing the payment in the cryptocurrency to a digital collectable smart contract that mints or delivers the digital collectable to the buyer.

Abstract: The transcribing work of a typist is facilitated by a reading aid in the form of a copyholder which has a holder cylinder of transparent material into which a copy to be transcribed is insertable. A support provides for rotatably locating the copyholder substantially in the typist's line of vision toward the keyboard and the typed line. The hollow cylinder is rotatable either by hand or by a motor driven gear mechanism for stepping the cylinder from line to line of the copy. The copy is insertable either at one open end of the cylinder or through a slot in the cylinder jacket.
