Hong Kong/Sydney, Oct. 10, 2022 — Catheon Gaming, ranked as the No. 1 blockchain gaming emerging giant in the “2022 KPMG & HSBC Emerging Giants in Asia Pacific report,” is pleased to announce the official launch of the Catheon Gaming ecosystem, the Catheon Gaming white paper and the Catheon token.

The Catheon ecosystem is expected to be one of the industry’s deepest and most comprehensive, with four key pillars:

1. An industry-leading blockchain gaming portfolio through our developing and publishing business.
2. The Catheon Gaming Center (CGC), a chain-agnostic game explorer and launcher.
3. Our Catheon Labs advisory and consulting arm for Web2 companies looking to transition to Web3.
4. Catheon metaverse, the single unifying hub for all Catheon games.

Catheon Gaming is growing beyond the single-title approach of many existing projects by creating an ecosystem that will endure beyond the life cycle of any one game. Based on a unified platform and token, the ecosystem will connect the experience of playing individual games in a way that is only possible with blockchain technology and drive significant synergies between the different segments of the ecosystem. More information about the Catheon Gaming ecosystem can be found in the presentation and white paper and via the CEO’s announcement.

Catheon Gaming also announced the release of its universal utility token, Catheon, which will be used across the entire ecosystem. This will be done by an effective rebrand and relaunch of the existing SolChicks CHICKS token. With the entire Catheon Gaming brand and portfolio behind it, Catheon is expected to be the ecosystem token with more utility and development compared to any of the other similar blockchain gaming ecosystems.

There are several compelling drivers behind the rebrand:

1. The first and only token of its kind for a gaming ecosystem on the Solana and Polygon blockchains, with down-the-line cross-bridging to other major chains.
2. The token will have the position as the universal governance and utility token of the largest and one of the highest-quality blockchain gaming portfolios in the industry.
3. Ecosystem utility beyond the game portfolio to the Catheon Gaming Center, the Catheon Labs advisory business and the Catheon metaverse.
4. An imminent use case is given the largely complete and ready-to-release nature of the game portfolio, the expected release of the Catheon Gaming Center and staking benefits.
5. Governance over the future of one of the most complete ecosystems in blockchain gaming. 

As the Catheon network, community and the number of titles continue to grow, Catheon Gaming expects significant network effects and synergies that will help continue to accelerate the quality of the portfolio and ecosystem. With Catheon Gaming’s high-quality team and track record of rapid execution, evident in the company’s growth over the last 11 months, the company expects to continue growing rapidly as it builds out the ecosystem in the coming years. 

William Wu, founder and co-CEO of Catheon Gaming, commented:

“Since we started this project, what has also become apparent is that this project, and our vision, has expanded to be so much more than just a single game. Today, we are extremely excited to announce our biggest update yet. We have been hard at work over the last 12 months to build the foundations required for this update and are finally in a position to do so. Our vision is to build one of the most comprehensive ecosystems in the industry to truly revolutionize the way we play, live and earn. We have a lot of work ahead to execute on our vision, but we are confident that we will be able to help to revolutionize blockchain gaming.” 

About Catheon Gaming

Catheon Gaming, ranked by KPMG and HSBC as the No. 1 emerging blockchain giant in Asia–Pacific, is one of the world’s fastest-growing integrated blockchain gaming and entertainment companies. Catheon Gaming is the only end-to-end platform providing world-class technical, publishing and partnership capabilities for the world’s leading game studios, companies and brands seeking to navigate their path into Web3.

The biggest international crypto, blockchain and Metaverse exhibition, ICBM Expo, is just around the corner. Events360 Group has announced the event to bring exhibitors, traders, specialists and fans out of the woodwork. The major tech exhibition will be held on March 3 and 4, 2023. Conferences will take place for two consecutive days of the exhibition at a constant pace at the Festival Arena, Festival City Dubai, UAE.

ICBM Expo is the only enormous meetup opportunity for tech companies to come up with all their pioneering offers. Moreover, people visiting it are expected to know about groundbreaking technologies, intelligent and safe business, and investment opportunities. They will discover what products or projects companies have to offer and in which direction they are heading. ICBM Expo will feature more than 100 tech companies, 50 speakers and expects more than 10,000 daily visitors. Moreover, entry passes for ICBM Expo are real NFTs. An extensive network of Metaverse, cryptocurrency and blockchain professionals from various exchanges, payment, liquidity solution providers, NFT, ICOs, play-to-earn projects, the Metaverse, influential industry experts and executives will come together for the two-day event.

Most importantly, doors are open to all the trendsetters and new startups in the fintech industry that are looking to discover fresh opportunities. It is all about innovation. ICBM Expo is avidly looking for emerging tech companies revolutionizing the cryptocurrency, blockchain and Metaverse industries. Moreover, there is a separate startup village in which founders will get an opportunity to pitch their innovative ideas to investors and close massive investments.

Dubai has enormous potential for regulating events regarding technology and adopting cutting-edge innovation. The UAE government is making strides in building a robust digital economy and utilizing the advantages and benefits that come with it. Visitors will know how to interact with one another digitally and develop a sense of community by using avatars in the Metaverse.

At ICBM Expo, attendees will be able to enjoyably and aimlessly traverse the Metaverse using a virtual reality headset and controllers. They’ll learn how participants can confirm transactions using blockchain technology without needing a centralized clearing house. It is a peer-to-peer network of decentralized ledgers for all trades. NFTs can be used to show ownership of unique items. Similarly, things like works of art, valuables and even real estate can be tokenized. No one can change the ownership record of an asset or copy/paste a new NFT into existence, which is how the Ethereum blockchain secures the ownership of an investment.

These virtual worlds are incredibly engaging and have significant economic and social potential. By utilizing blockchain structure, people may access the larger digital economy and make virtual goods exchangeable for actual economic value outside the Metaverse. As this interest in learning about and participating in digital asset investment and business opportunities has grown significantly in recent days, ICBM Expo guarantees to be an event of new talks and networking for the emergence of institutional interest and the expansion of crypto-focused venture capital, among other things.

There’s also some great news for kids: Parents can create a cryptocurrency wallet for their child and set up periodic donations via Crypto for Kids, which will accept presents from relatives and friends that are put immediately into their wallets. 

ICBM Expo is an essential thought-leadership event, with a new lineup of key influencers leading talks about the future of relevant industries. It’s not to be missed, particularly because of the insightful and exciting conversations expected on new game-changing technologies (including blockchain, Metaverse and virtual assets), GameFi, DeFi, investing in virtual real estate, the future of the Web3 internet, digital payment solutions and getaways, talks on ICOs and STOs, progress in the crypto space, the role of AI and VR in the Metaverse and much more. A stellar lineup of conference speakers is already in the works, with some of the world’s most powerful influencers and officials expected to participate. Attendees see networking opportunities with significant industry executives, investors and guided business contacts.

Cudo Compute is revolutionizing the cloud industry by providing a democratic and sustainable alternative to the centralized cloud.

Why it matters: The cloud industry is growing rapidly as innovations in artificial intelligence, scientific computing, virtual reality and augmented reality tech continue to develop.

But the public cloud, as it exists today, is primarily owned by just three companies. This highly centralized cloud model faces several issues:

• Disruptive outages can take down key services for hours at a time due to a single point of failure.
• Sustainability issues result from energy consumption, water usage and electronic waste.
• Latency problems due to the distance between the data center and the end-user.

Through its distributed cloud marketplace, Cudo Compute is tackling these problems by providing an efficient, robust and cost-effective way to connect buyers and sellers of computing power.

Go deeper 

Cudo Compute allows companies and individuals to find and use available compute resources more efficiently, moving beyond the inherent constraints of on-premise and centralized cloud environments.

This radical new cloud model provides a host of benefits, including:

• Increased availability. Those seeking specific types of processing power — e.g., GPUs — can be easily matched with suppliers offering exactly what they need.
• Lower cost. Computing suppliers can improve their returns by reducing under-utilized capacity, with corresponding price reductions for buyers.
• Closer proximity. A geographically distributed cloud makes it far easier for those seeking computing power to find a location as close as possible to the point of delivery.
• Reduced waste. Building new infrastructure has an environmental cost. Just one data center can consume as much electricity as 50,000 homes. Instead, Cudo Compute will help to maximize existing resources and take advantage of the billions of dollars of under-utilized computing resources available across the globe.

At launch, Cudo Compute will offer a user-friendly cloud service allowing you to find and use virtual machines hosted by a wide range of data center providers around the globe. Key features include:

• A high-performance infrastructure offered at a fraction of the cost of existing cloud providers.
• Access to latest-generation processors, including Nvidia GPUs, Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC CPUs.
• Robust security through hosting in data centers with ISO 27001 security and ISO 9001 quality certifications.
• One-click solutions for businesses in a range of specialized applications, including data science, deep learning, rendering and more.

Solutions

At present, Cudo Compute focuses on the following use cases and applications:

• Artificial intelligence and machine learning — Use purpose-built images for machine learning with or without Docker using TensorFlow and PyTorch. 
• 3D rendering and motion graphics — Scale your video rendering to 100,000 GPUs and CPUs, which is faster and more cost-effective with Blender.
• High-performance computing (HPC) — Run all your HPC workloads without investing CAPEX on high-performance hardware sitting idle outside office hours using Parabricks and GROMACS. 
• GPU cloud — Access to on-demand GPU instances with per-second billing hosted in data centers with ISO 27001 security and ISO 9001 quality certifications.

The future

Cudo Compute will serve as the infrastructure backbone for Web3 by eventually integrating with its sister company Cudos. The 100% carbon-neutral layer-1 blockchain offers low-cost, fast transactions.

Since Cudos is interoperable, it will integrate with all other major layer-1 chains, bringing cloud and blockchain closer together. Think Filecoin but for the entire compute stack where developers can access resources on- and off-chain independent of the network where they launched. 

Enjoy the commercial and project acceleration benefits of expanding your access to scarce resources by contacting us or registering for an account at cudocompute.com.

About Cudo Compute

Cudo Compute is an ecosystem providing access to decentralized and sustainable cloud computing resources by leveraging under-utilized computing power on idle hardware globally. 

We are the Airbnb for sustainable computing. Like Airbnb’s marketplace, which allows owners to rent out their unused homes, we facilitate businesses and individuals to lend their hardware’s unused computing to users and organizations that might need it. Our platform allows organizations and developers to deploy, run and scale based on their cloud demands.

W3E — the first-ever live tournament for Web3 esports — will be welcoming the world of Web3 gaming to Istanbul Blockchain Week.

The event will take place on Nov. 17 at the ESA Esports Arena in the heart of Istanbul, and will also include game showcases, exclusive announcements from developers, demo testing and nail-biting competition in one of the world’s most popular Web3 games. W3E is managed and overseen by team lead Damian Bartlett and marketing strategist Thang Phan, a former member of FaZe Clan. Both are veterans and ex-pros of the gaming and esports world. 

Concurrently, W3E will also be hosting the world’s first Web3 gaming expo on the periphery of the W3E Tournament. Attendees will have the opportunity to see emerging projects, test upcoming Web3 games and network with the development team. 

EV.io, a first-person shooter set in a series of futuristic arenas — and the most popular game on the Solana blockchain — will be the event’s league partner and lead game for the tournament. EV.io was built from the ground up with low system specs in mind, and designed to be open and accessible to all players. The game has a fast-paced style of combat with a range of weapons to choose from and complete with a range of exciting abilities, including teleport and impulse grenade for an exhilarating gameplay experience. 

W3E will be inviting top-ranked European and Turkish teams for a live tournament in the heart of Istanbul. In an effort to expand the decentralized gaming ecosystem, W3E will also be inviting players of traditional Web2 FPS games to take part. 

Web3 gaming like you’ve never seen before

EV.io is also a free-to-play, play-to-earn game where players can earn the in-game token “e,” which can be converted to Solana (SOL$33) and fiat currency. Unlike many play-to-earn games, EV.io’s revenue is generated from advertising, not from new players.

EV.io will also be producing bespoke W3E-branded skins and weapons for players to use during and after the tournament.

“I am incredibly excited to be leading the team putting on the first-ever live Web3 esports tournament, alongside the first Web3 games expo,” said Erhan Korhaliller, founder and CEO of W3E and Istanbul Blockchain Week. “Web3 gaming is the next leap forward in this revolutionary technology. Watching it mature over the past few years has been incredible, but 2022 feels like the inflection point. It is a privilege to have our contestants play EV.io, and I couldn’t be more proud to welcome the world to what will be a history-making event in this space.”

“We’re excited to be part of Istanbul Blockchain Week and contribute to a growing Web3 esports scene,” said Chriss Scott, co-founder and game director of EV.io. “We’re huge fans of W3E and support their initiatives in moving the needle forward.”

Putting Web3 gaming at the heart of Istanbul Blockchain Week

The inaugural W3E event will take place during Istanbul Blockchain Week. First founded in 2020 as the brainchild of EAK Founder and CEO, Erhan Korhaliller, Istanbul Blockchain Week was brought to life in order to bring a high-quality Web3 event to Turkey.

W3E is the latest event brand from Web3 agency EAK Digital, and follows on from the successful BlockDown Festival: Croatia, which took place in May earlier this year. 

Media contact

W3E will be welcoming members of the media to attend the event, those wanting more information, or who would like to inquire about a media pass to Istanbul Blockchain Week should send an email.

Dubai will transform into the ultimate digital epicenter of the world next month as the UAE hosts the world’s largest tech show, converging the most advanced companies and best minds to deep-dive into the making of the Web3 economy. 

From Oct. 10 to 14, 2022 at the Dubai World Trade Center, Gitex Global returns for its largest-ever edition, featuring 5,000 companies spanning 26 halls and 2 million square feet of exhibition space. The size difference is an extraordinary 25% year-on-year increase, pushing its capacity limit at the venue.

The Gitex 3.0 edition in its 42nd year presents the most empowering curation ever with seven multi-tech themes experimenting in the Metaverse, a decentralized future of the internet, and a sustainable global digital economy. Gitex sets to wow with the year’s biggest and most immersive Metaverse experience across multiple sectors, from music, fashion and sports to lifestyle and business

Gitex Global 2022’s scale reflects digital ambitions of UAE and the region 

The five-day event’s record size and continued expansion mirrors the ambitions of the UAE and region’s digital transformation movement, as government initiatives such as the National Program for Coders, the Dubai Metaverse Strategy and Next GenFDI propels the UAE to the forefront of the global digital economy.  

This is amplified by Gitex Global 2022’s new launches of X-Verse sponsored by TMRW Foundation in collaboration with Decentraland — one of the world’s most immersive Metaverse journeys featuring 28 experiential brands — and Global DevSlam, the Middle East’s largest-ever coder and developer meetup, both of which sold out to a global audience within two months.

UAE companies also held the lion’s share of a record-breaking $2.6 billion in startup funding across the Middle East and North Africa in 2021, figures that underscore an additional hall and 30% increase to 1,000 exhibitors at Gitex Global’s startup event, North Star. 

His Excellency Omar Al Olama, Minister of State for AI, Digital Economy and Remote Work Applications, who delivered the welcome note at the official Gitex Global 2022 press conference today, said: “Gitex this year is bigger than ever. It spans 2 million square feet with over 5,000 exhibitors from more than 90 countries, which makes this truly the biggest tech show in the world. This year, my office has partnered with Gitex to ensure that we’re not just showcasing technology, but actually inventing and developing technology.”

In his speech, Al Olama also highlighted that the Global DevSlam event is poised to be one of the biggest developer events in the world. He concluded by thanking each and every single person that has believed in the UAE’s mission and who has supported the UAE.

Global interest accelerates UAE and region as a rising tech hub of the world 

Gitex Global 2022 will welcome an unprecedented 52% new exhibitors this year choosing the show and the UAE as the first-choice partner in their market access strategies.

The influx of global interest will see North Star hosting the biggest Unicorn meetup of the year in Dubai, with 35 Unicorns from 15 countries looking to explore new opportunities and expand in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.

Influential UAE entities inspire R&D in transformative technologies 

UAE companies are shaking up the global tech scene with their bold undertakings and commitments in tech R&D and inventions, including Technology Innovation Institute (TII) a leading global scientific institution and the applied research pillar of Abu Dhabi’s Advanced Technology Research Council. TII will have a significant presence at Gitex Global showcasing AI and Digital Science, Directed Energy and Autonomous Robotics Research. 

Gitex also unifies the participation of 250 government entities leading strategic digital projects and public-private partnerships, with Digital Dubai Authority and Abu Dhabi Digital Authority among the UAE government bodies advancing smart city and digital projects. 

More information is available on the website. 

About Dubai World Trade Center

With a vision to make Dubai the world’s leading destination for all major exhibitions, conferences and events, DWTC has evolved from being the regional forerunner of the fast-growing MICE industry into a multi-dimensional business catalyst, focusing on venues, events and real estate management. Complementary to the primary service offerings are a range of value-added services from media/advertising, engineering and technical consultation and wedding planning, security services and hospitality.

Cheelee is a short video platform with Watch&Earn mechanics that pays all users for viewing the feed. To get rewarded for watching the app’s smart feed, users will need a pair of nonfungible token (NFT) glasses.

The fundamental difference between Cheelee and other projects (move-to-earn or play-to-earn) is its focus on the social media market audience of 4.6 billion people rather than a limited crypto audience. Cheelee plans to attract the first billion people within four years, providing a growing monthly inflow of users.

The stability of Cheelee’s financial system is additionally secured by non-NFT-related income sources, including advertisements, in-game purchases and brand collaborations. These account for 30% of the total revenue, while in alternative projects, they only make up 1%. In addition, Cheelee will be directing 70% of advertisement revenue, in-app purchases and 100% of revenue from NFT sales and in-app transactions to the Stability Fund.

Another important advantage of the project is that users can earn by using Cheelee without having to make any investments at the beginning. Once the user registers their Web3 wallet in the application, they will receive a case containing Starting NFT Glasses. To earn more, users can upgrade their Starting NFT Glasses or buy new — even Rare —NFT glasses.

Rare NFT glasses, which generate more tokens than the Starting ones, can already be purchased. Starting on Oct. 24, the project’s team is giving away 500 pairs of Rare NFT glasses in cases. To participate in the giveaway, follow the link and complete the task. The results will be announced on Nov. 25 on the project’s social media accounts.

One innovative new Web3 project is seeking to break through new barriers by combining nonfungible tokens (NFTs) with real-world luxury Swiss timepieces, in-person masterminds and a vibrant digital community of visionaries, changemakers, high-net-worth individuals and blockchain enthusiasts.

The project, called Legion, consists of 333 NFTs. The mint happens on Thursday, Sept. 29, and demand was strong for this project during the presale phase. As of writing, over 110 NFTs have been sold by the founders through their personal networks. The price of each Legion NFT is 4.44 Ether (ETH) as of the mint.

“I call it a unicorn offer,” said co-founder Stefan Georgi, “because every time we share Legion with the right people, they want to be a part of it.”

Legion is the brainchild of futurist and exponential entrepreneur Jonathan Foltz, luxury watchmaker Craig Shah, entrepreneur and blockchain adviser Stefan Georgi, and genius brand creator Umer Hadeed. The team seeks to merge the worlds of luxury e-commerce, live events and digital communities in a way that’s never been done before. Further, their goal is to help drive society’s transition from Web2 to Web3 by getting everyday people to see how NFTs can have massive real-world utility.

“The use cases here are insane,” said Shah, founder of Craig Shelly watches in Beverly Hills and a partner in Legion, adding, “With many NFT projects, you’re getting some cool artwork and access to a Discord channel, but that’s it. With Legion, the watch alone is valued at $6,000 minimum. People routinely pay $25,000 to be part of good masterminds. And the community we’ve built around the project is second-to-none.”

How Legion plans to revolutionize the world of in-person masterminds and event

To partner Foltz, it’s the community and network aspect that’s most exciting. “For those who don’t know, masterminds are essentially just ‘get-togethers’ where like-minded people work together to achieve a common goal. In the case of Legion, our mastermind community is filled with leaders in Web3, e-commerce, investing, exponential technologies, real estate and other industries, all collaborating and sharing ideas and opportunities.

Here’s the unique part, though: Because membership is held through the Legion NFT, people can buy or sell a membership to this community at any given time on secondary markets like OpenSea. This hasn’t been done before in the world of in-person masterminds, but it’s going to become the norm.”

The Legion NFT reveal will be happening at a live party for all Legion holders on Oct. 8, 2022, in Las Vegas. For anyone interested in finding out more about the Legion project, including the team and its roadmap for 2023 and beyond, you can go to www.wearelegion.xyz.

“I’ve worked on some incredible projects with companies like Samsung, Coca-Cola, Nokia and Huawei,” said Hadeed, co-founder of Legion, adding, “But I don’t know if anything has ever had me more excited. This project truly has the potential to accelerate the transition from Web2 to Web3. And it’s going to be fascinating to watch.”
