Giga-project chief John Pagano is adding another Saudi top job to his CV. He has been named managing director at AlUla Development Company and will perform the role alongside his existing job as group CEO of Red Sea Global. 

This makes Pagano responsible for three Public Investment Fund-owned developments: the Red Sea, Amaala and AlUla. He is also managing director of KAFD Destination Management Company and a board member at Neom. 

Pagano succeeds Fabien Toscano as boss of AlUla and will oversee four operational hotels and the Maraya Concert Hall at the development. Toscano is moving to Jeddah Economic Company as CEO.

“Pagano will steer our strategic direction across asset development, operations, partnerships and long-term initiatives, reinforcing our role as a key driver of AlUla’s transformation in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030,” AlUla Development Company said in a statement.

The 66-year-old Canadian, who was previously managing director of the Canary Wharf development in London, joined RSG as group CEO in 2018. Other giga-project chiefs have come and gone since then, while Pagano has held on. 

Earlier this year he was awarded Saudi citizenship, a rarity in the region. In October, he told Reuters he had joined the board of directors at Neom. 

RSG opened its first ultra-luxury resort in November 2023. Four more resorts opened in 2024 and five this year. Pagano has said it will open another 17 by May 2026.

“Our ambitions are beyond just the Saudi Arabian market,” Pagano said in October. He added that RSG was looking at a tourism project in Italy as its first venture abroad.

“That’s done, done, done, done,” said Pagano, when asked how far along the overseas deal had come.

AGBI has contacted Pagano via RSG for comment.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
