Datavault AI Partners with Rodney’s Comedy Club to Bring Digital Innovation to the Live Entertainment Scene with Live Joke Copyrighting and Industry First Laugh Index
Datavault AI™ expands its VerifyU credentialing platform and ADIO engagement technology in entertainment copyright and nightlife, a rapidly evolving market for authentic digital verification and real-time data monetization
PHILADELPHIA, Nov 7 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq: DVLT), a leader in data monetization, credentialing and digital engagement technologies, today announced a landmark partnership with Rodney’s Comedy Club, integrating its VerifyU, Joke Token, and ADIO® solutions to transform the way audiences and performers interact in live entertainment environments.
Through this collaboration, Rodney’s Comedy Club will become the first comedy venue in the country to offer verifiable digital credentials for performers and fans alike. Using VerifyU, comedians and event participants can securely validate their professional achievements, media appearances, and event credentials. Meanwhile, Joke Token, a blockchain-based engagement tool, allows fans to directly reward performers and participate in exclusive club experiences. ADIO, Datavault AI’s patented data-over-sound technology, seamlessly connects live shows to digital platforms, turning every performance into an interactive, data-driven experience.
Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault Ai stated, “As Rodney Dangerfield taught us, no one gets respect without earning it through sheer grit and good humor qualities that define New York's enduring spirit. I applaud Mark Yosef, the current owner of Rodney's, a place of family, friends and for keeping the city laughing amid these divisive times. Sometimes, all you can do is laugh; and if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. Our Joke Token made it to the streaming era from clubs like his and is evolving into a Web 3.0 revolution, where sound carries data, and data unlocks wealth and immersive experiences. Soon, Rodney himself will return in holographic form, and we'll laugh again with him at the lead with lightning quick wit and either an arrogance or humility that makes Rodney's the ultimate spot for that essential chuckle. I applaud Bryan Dromerhauser, the rookie of the year at Data Vault ® who drives with wit, humor and humility that delivers results, changing comedy to the next generation using blockchain to solve old problems in the oldest of industries that has always had problems caring for, honoring and remunerating its greatest talents. If we finish our Joke Token mission a whole new generation of artists will emerge. We will laugh harder than ever. Together.”
Nate continued, “Blockchain and tonal data technologies are democratizing the stand-up comedy landscape, transforming what was once an exclusive art form into an open, data-driven ecosystem. Through real-time joke copyrighting, valuation, and talent discovery, our patented token-exchange framework at Datavault AI connects comedians, writers, clubs, and producers in ways never before possible. These collaborations allow talented writers to see their material brought to life by skilled performers—turning every punchline into a shared, monetizable experience.
At Datavault AI, our agentic AI solutions function as digital promoters, protectors, and amplifiers—capable of acting as a holographic orator, matchmaker, and star launcher. We’re building a future that’s bright, hilarious, and equitable for irreplaceable creatives—the sharp, quick-witted individuals who keep us laughing in an increasingly serious and impatient world. Web 3.0 is redefining the comedy industry, creating a safer, smarter environment where creative voices can thrive once again. The resurgence of the comedy club scene reflects this transformation—where cultural perspectives, intellect, and humor intersect. As Rodney Dangerfield’s iconic character, Thornton Melon, reminded us in Back to School, filmed in part at Arizona State University: sometimes laughter is the best education of all.”
Industry observers acknowledge that intellectual property challenges—such as joke misappropriation, fragmented representation, and inconsistent compensation—continue to undermine the growth and stability of the comedy sector. The absence of standardized rights management and secure data frameworks has historically limited creators’ ability to protect and monetize their work. Datavault AI’s platform, supported by forward-thinking partners like Rodney’s Comedy Club, addresses these gaps by introducing verifiable digital credentialing, transparent revenue attribution, and secure data ownership models—empowering comedians to protect their creativity and fully participate in the value they generate.
Mark Yosef, owner of Rodney’s Comedy Club, added, “Comedy is about connection, and Datavault AI’s tools bring that connection into the digital age. Our performers can build verified reputations, and fans can engage in totally new ways, rewarding jokes, collecting digital memorabilia, and even verifying attendance at their favorite shows.”
Among the first to embrace the technology are Leo Dottavio and Danny Mullen, co-hosts of the Leo and Danny Show podcast and frequent Rodney’s performers. “This is the future of comedy clubs,” said Dottavio. “We’re not just on stage anymore, we’re part of a living digital ecosystem where every laugh, every appearance, and every moment can carry real value.” Mullen added, “Fans supporting us through Joke Token or verifying their attendance through VerifyU makes comedy more personal, and more powerful, than ever before.”
The partnership represents a growing vertical for Datavault AI, expanding its VerifyU credentialing platform and ADIO engagement technology beyond academia and enterprise into entertainment and nightlife, a rapidly evolving market for authentic digital verification and real-time data monetization.
Annual recurring revenue (ARR) can be generated from each club where the joke token is broadcast. AI agents tune into club activities, recording each joke as told along with the laughter generated throughout the joke and the punchline of each joke. Stats are privately shared with the artists and the clubs where they perform where rights are shared on each joke asset. Writers, producers and creators of all types can buy jokes for one time use or worldwide exclusive video smart contract tokens that the artist and club agree to mint. On top of ticket sales, ticket holders are granted exclusive rights to performance set content. When elected, the joke token can be sold to each ticket holder who receives a pristine, data rich, digital twin on every joke and performance they heard, indexed by each joke and accredited to every artist. Data Vault can pay each participating venue and performer using VerifyU, ADIO®, or Joke Token engagements under a structured licensing agreement that generates ongoing revenue for Datavault AI through credential issuance, token transactions, and data-driven engagement analytics. As the platform scales across entertainment and hospitality venues, these recurring revenue streams grow proportionally with user adoption and event activity. Clubs can monetize the set, patrons can remember in an immutable way and the industry can begin to heal and take care of its own. A big vision for the quick-witted jester that always has had a role to play.

(Graphic: Xsolla)
Buy Button For Android In The U.S., Adjustable Daily Rewards, Privacy-Compliant Segmentation, Creator Storefronts, Offerwall, And Extended Coverage Of MMPs to Help Acquire, Engage, And Retain Gamers
LOS ANGELES, Nov 5 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Xsolla, a global video game commerce company that helps developers launch, grow, and monetize their games, announces new features and capabilities to the industry-leading web shop solution. Arriving as the U.S. market moves toward a new open era for external payments, new enhancements to the Xsolla Web Shop and Buy Button provide developers with the tools to drive higher margins and more player engagement across iOS and Android.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251104283284/en/
The U.S. is now leading the push for more open app ecosystems, with similar moves in the UK, Europe, Japan, Brazil, and beyond to allow external payments. The Xsolla Web Shop enables studios to embrace this shift, increasing margins on every transaction as monetization options expand beyond app stores.
Key benefits of the new plug-in features in Xsolla Web Shop include:
- Unlock higher margins via seamless purchases with Buy Button*: Retain up to 95% revenue on iOS and Android transactions in the U.S by linking players directly from inside the game to a seamless, one-tap checkout.
- Higher retention and engagement: Boost player retention by 20%+ and Web Shop revenue by 15%+ with features designed to keep users coming back and spending more:
- Adjustable daily rewards can be launched with just a few clicks, encouraging repeat visits.
- Privacy-compliant segmentation drives purchase conversion by presenting the right offers to the right customers.
- Out-of-the-box insight system with expert-backed, actionable suggestions, helping teams launch best-practice campaigns with speed-to-impact.
- Extend Web Shop's reach into trusted channels: Grow incremental revenue and new payer growth by reusing a single Web Shop catalog across creator, community, and messaging platforms, including Discord.
- Creators become trusted growth channels. With auto-generated Creator Storefronts, they can promote your Web Shop offers through their own branded page, driving trackable sales, tips, and fan engagement, while studios capture incremental revenue through seamless revenue share.
- Communities become commerce. Discord channels double as storefronts, letting players purchase currency, bundles, and gifts directly where they already gather.
- Unlock new revenue from non-paying users with Offerwall: Engage a broader audience through Offerwall. This integrated marketplace enables players to earn in-game rewards by completing quests without leaving the storefront or compromising their player experience. Early results show that the Offerwall increases total Web Shop revenue by 5% and boosts overall payment transactions by 37%, unlocking meaningful incremental growth from non-paying users.
- Optimized ROI with the broadest coverage of MMPs (mobile measurement partners) on the market: Attribution where you need it. Seamless integrations with AppsFlyer, Adjust, Singular, and others provide reliable performance tracking and campaign optimization across devices and platforms.
“With this release, we’re not just shipping features, we’re giving mobile studios a complete D2C advantage,” said Chris Hewish, President at Xsolla. “As the U.S. market opens, mobile game developers need a way to keep more of every dollar while engaging players where they already are. Web Shop, Buy Button, and our creator and community extensions are designed to help teams seize this historic moment and scale smarter.”

Exclusive Distribution Commemorates First AI-Generated Data-Driven Draft Coin for both College Football and E-Sports Live Jan. 11, 2026, from AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas
PHILADELPHIA, Nov 4 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq: DVLT), a pioneer in AI-powered data valuation and tokenization, today unveiled plans for the highly anticipated Dream Bowl Draft, set to select top invitees for the Crusaders vs. Patriots matchup in the 2026 Dream Bowl presented by Scilex (Nasdaq: SCLX). This marquee event will culminate on Jan. 11, 2026, at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, where elite athletes will compete for the Dream Bowl Championship. Building on this excitement, Datavault AI will also host the professional Drone Racing and e-sports Championships, crowning the World Champion of Madden Football 2026 alongside two thrilling team e-sports titles. The first-of-its-kind collegiate bowl and e-sports event will showcase reigning world championship e-sports teams from around the globe, alongside the North American Madden 2026 champion, who will compete against the top contender for both prize money and the championship title.
Datavault AI remains firmly committed to shareholder value creation and continuous innovation. In collaboration with Scilex Holding Company, Datavault will commemorate the upcoming Dream Bowl 2026 through a special one-time distribution of the Dream Bowl 2026 Meme Coin to DVLT and Scilex stockholders of record as of Nov. 14, 2025, subject to board approval. Each holder will receive an exclusive commemorative digital collectible designed with utility features, including immutable proof of ownership, embedded ticketing details, and exclusive content related to invited athletes, game highlights, and event access.

"This distribution not only rewards our loyal shareholders but also positions Datavault AI and SCILEX holders at the forefront of tokenomics and highly intelligent systems that recognize talent and achievement through new comprehensive screening criteria for bowl participation. Giving athletes skills, capabilities, and potential rating through DataScore® and then a stable coin valuation through DataValue® we’ve changed how data value can be captured, minted and ultimately monetized in an unlimited number of ways. Through our agents DataValue®, DataScore® and Data Vault Bank® mirroring the transformative asset tokenization strategies championed by industry leaders like BlackRock's Larry Fink and JPMorgan," said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO and Co-Founder of Datavault AI. “Our meme coin initiative has the potential to deliver tangible engagement in the upcoming Dream Bowl and is just another example of how we are crossing over into Web 3.0 where experiences are the real treasures in life and data is our new currency.

AM BEST RATES DELTA’S AFFILIATES’ PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT EXCELLENT
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 3 (Bernama) -- Global credit rating agency, AM Best has affirmed the performance assessment (assessment) of PA-2 (Excellent) of Delta Insurance New Zealand Limited and Delta Underwriting Private Limited, Singapore.
AM Best in a statement said the companies are assessed on a consolidated basis under their parent, Delta International Limited (Delta).
With a stable outlook on the assessment, it reflects Delta’s strong underwriting capabilities, excellent governance and internal controls, strong financial condition, excellent organisational talent, and strong depth and breadth of relationships.
In AM Best’s view, the two affiliated companies exhibit several commonalities with one another and are regarded as strategically and financially important to Delta, providing access to businesses in certain geographic jurisdictions in the Asia Pacific region.
The credit rating agency assesses Delta’s underwriting capabilities as strong, as it has consistently recorded profitable underwriting results over the past few years across a wide range of product lines and geographic regions.
Delta has a highly specialised underwriting philosophy and risk selection process, supported by its in-house underwriting and claims management teams, which enabled the organisation to grow its premium base rapidly through product and geographic expansion over time.
Furthermore, AM Best considers Delta’s governance and internal controls to be excellent, as the company has implemented a sophisticated framework for selecting capacity providers, which elevates the products and coverage it provides to its policyholders.
Delta’s financial condition has been assessed as strong with its track record of profitable operations, stable income sources and positive cash flow. Its organisational talent was also viewed as excellent, and Delta’s senior management is highly experienced in the company’s lines of business.

SIAD To Supply 3,500 MTPD Air Separation Unit For Pacifico Mexinol Project
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 (Bernama) -- SIAD Americas LLC announced that SIAD has been selected to provide an air separation unit (ASU) for the Pacifico Mexinol ultra-low carbon methanol project in Sinaloa, Mexico.
The project, led by SIAD Macchine Impianti, will leverage SIAD’s global execution model, with engineering support from its centres in Bergamo, Italy; The Woodlands, Texas; and Hangzhou, China.
According to a statement, equipment will be sourced from the United States, China, and Europe, with fabrication carried out at SIAD facilities in Hangzhou and at the new facility in Porto Marghera (Venice), Italy.
“We are proud to partner with Transition Industries and contribute our expertise to what will be one of the world's most sustainable chemical facilities. Our selection reflects the strength of SIAD’s global engineering team and our commitment to delivering exceptional value to customers,” said SIAD Americas Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ed Hotard.
The ASU will have a production capacity of approximately 3,500 metric tonnes per day (MTPD) of high-purity oxygen, making it a critical component for the production of ultra-low carbon methanol. It will supply the large volumes of oxygen required for the project's gasification and carbon capture processes.
Once operational in 2029, Pacifico Mexinol is expected to be the largest standalone ultra-low-carbon chemical production facility in the world and one of the world’s largest producers of green hydrogen and green methanol.
Transition Industries is jointly developing Pacifico Mexinol with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.
The ASU will be designed to the highest standards of efficiency and reliability, supporting the project's net-zero carbon emissions objectives. The strategic sourcing of engineering and equipment from SIAD's global network is expected to optimise the project's execution schedule and cost.

MONEYHERO LAUNCHES CREDIT HERO CLUB IN HONG KONG TO BOOST CREDIT TRANSPARENCY
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 3 (Bernama) -- MoneyHero Limited (MoneyHero), a leading tech- and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered personal finance aggregation and comparison platform, has launched the Credit Hero Club in Hong Kong, powered by TransUnion.
The new offering marks a strategic milestone in MoneyHero’s ongoing evolution toward tech- and AI-driven product offering innovation, after the platform undergoes a successful beta testing phase throughout September.
The platform helps users better understand their credit position, identify financial products that align with their credit profile, and simplify the application process—all of which drives improved approval and conversion rates for partner banks and financial institutions, while delivering a more seamless and personalised experience for users.
“Moving beyond a comparison website, we are enhancing user engagement through technology and data. We are empowering Hong Kong consumers with free access to their credit profiles, enabling them to make more informed financial decisions.
“This allows us to offer special partner products and to significantly improve the user experience, marking a significant step in the digitalisation of the end-to-end purchase journey,” said MoneyHero Chief Executive Officer, Rohith Murthy in a statement.
By offering free access to credit scores and credit reports, Credit Hero Club empowers users to make better-informed borrowing decisions and allows commercial partners to acquire highly targeted and engaged customers.
MoneyHero’s loan application data for the first nine months of 2025 shows a shift toward more prudent borrowing behaviour in Hong Kong. Applications for loans below HK$100,000 rose from around 31 per cent in 2024 to approximately 38 per cent this year, indicating a stronger appetite for smaller loans. (HK$100 = RM54.01)
Meanwhile, medium (HK$300,000 to HK$799,999) and large (HK$800,000 and above) loan applications declined from nearly 32 per cent to almost 28 per cent and from about 16 per cent to some 13 per cent, respectively. Small loan applications stabilised at roughly 21 per cent.
This shift toward smaller loan amounts might also reflect heightened caution among banks in Hong Kong, which appear to be prioritising risk management and lower exposure, as the trend underscores the demand for clearer credit transparency in a more cautious lending environment.
