Pessimistic Donkey College, The First College Themed NFT Project Prepares for Launch

///

New York, United States, 27th December, 2022, Chainwire


With sales of non-fungible tokens falling for the 6th straight month, and falling by 60% in just Q3 to Q4 this year, it’s understandable to say the market is feeling pessimistic. A number of factors contribute to this such as interest rate increases cooling the economy and the novelty of purely aesthetic NFTs failing to attract investor attention. 

Pessimistic Donkey College, hopes to rally the bear market by introducing the NFT project that provides a new investment opportunity with a focus on long-term growth of an investor community. This new project will be launching on January 15, 2023.

In order to help support investors, the project is also going to be run on a royalty-free model to encourage trading and participation in the project post-launch. This is in line with the innovative stake system being developed to run alongside it. 

As an addition to launching the NFT, Pessimistic Donkey College will be producing a weekly mental health podcast to raise awareness and educate their audience on the increasingly important topic. This approach of pairing an NFT with a socially conscious project is a new step for the industry and demonstrates that NFT projects can be used for the public good. 

The evolutionary goals of the project and their commitment to bringing pessimistic investors together in the bear market show an understanding that NFT projects need to change and develop past tools of investment and move into community-driven environments and can enact a positive social impact. 

About Pessimistic Donkey College
Pessimistic Donkey College is a new NFT project by co-founders: JAY, Draco, DEL, TT, and their teams. One of the project’s major goals is to reinvigorate interest in the face of the bear market by offering a new collection of images as well as utilities and a royalty-return system.

The plans for this project are to take another step in the NFT space beyond previous competitors.  

In addition to the minting of NFTs, the project will also produce a weekly mental health podcast.

How do I get a crypto license in the UK?

///

Are you interested in starting your crypto exchange in the UK and obtaining a crypto exchange license requisite for your project? Are you afraid of possible failures because of the too-complicated regulatory framework? You are right at some points – the risk of rejection due to the failed compliance requirements is huge here. But, this risk can be minimized thanks to the tested experience of professional lawyers.

At the same time, the opportunities for raising big funds are enormous in the UK as well. The country has one of the biggest capital markets in the world. So, if you wish to start your own exchange or any other crypto startup and are called to obtain a UK crypto exchange license for that purpose, lawyers of Prifinance company are ready to guide you through the procedure to ensure a winning application in the end.

Steps to Get the So-called Crypto License in the UK

Why does the “so-called” license? That is because authorization in the UK is anticipated only – the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) ensures that. This registration is some kind of alternative procedure that is implemented instead of licensing in its traditional meaning. Still, without authorization from the FCA, it is impossible or extremely risky to close any crypto deals within the UK territory.

In order to validate a crypto license in the UK (as we call it conditionally), it is necessary to pass these preliminary registration steps:

  1. Incorporate a separate UK legal entity that will serve as an authorized person for the purpose of arranging crypto deals.
  2. Open bank and/or EMI accounts.
  3. Find the company’s officers with the respective qualifications. In particular, it is necessary to emphasize the role of a compliance manager.
  4. Gather all the particulars of the company’s founders and affiliate entities. Precisely, natural persons need to share copies of personal IDs; and legal persons have to provide copies of their statutory documents and the confirmation of good standing. Providing the financial statements is also required.
  5. Form the registration package, providing among others:
  • properly filled registration form;
  • business plan;
  • organizational chart;
  • monitoring, risk management, AML, record tracking, and reporting policies;
  • description of IT facilities available (the standardized templates are provided).
  1. Paying all application fees.
  2. Handling all the negotiations with the FCA officials, including providing extra documents and details that may be requested.

A registration plan may vary from case to case. Prifinance lawyers are ready to assist with your case and draft a personalized plan that will maximize the chances of success.

How Prifinance Lawyers Can Facilitate You

If you wish to start your crypto project exactly in the UK, Prifinance lawyers are ready to facilitate you with the easiest practical realization of this business objective, including:

  • evaluating comprehensively your commercial background and particulars to find the best solutions for your future UK crypto project;
  • registering a separate legal entity in the exact legal and organizational form to serve as a future crypto exchange;
  • guaranteeing the overall compliance with the risk management and AML/CTF demands, developing all the required policies for this purpose;
  • opening any bank and/or EMI accounts;
  • handling all the required local negotiations with state officials;
  • supporting with resolving all possible issues that may come on the agenda in the course of the next functioning of your crypto UK project. 

Provide the details of your current business situation to get a more precise assessment and business solutions to the point. Prifinance lawyers are ready to share with you tested registration expertise to facilitate your project’s success.

Maincard Expands Web3 Sports Prediction Market To Myria And Launches NHL Sportsbook

///

Los Angeles, California, 15th December, 2022, Chainwire


Web3 Sports prediction app Maincard and Myria are joining forces to expand the appeal of NFTs. Maincard will benefit from Myria’s scalability focus as a trusted Ethereum L2 solution through the partnership. 

Maincard recently announced its main net launch on the Polygon network. The Web3 sports prediction game went live the day before the 2022 Fifa World Cup kicked off. Core benefits of the platform include novel gameplay dynamics, NFT support, and the ability to earn rewards.

In late November, Maincard unveiled its first prize fund draw. A total of 6,000 MATIC tokens were distributed to the top and most active players on Maincard.io. Users who own a Maincard NFT can place wagers on upcoming events supported by the platform. Whether one wants to place many bets or a few small ones, all options are available within a fair and transparent ecosystem.

Although Maincard is built on Polygon, it is fully compatible with other EVM blockchains. In addition, the collaborative effort with Myria, a trusted Ethereum L2 solution focusing on growth and security, marks a significant milestone. Moreover, Myria is designed to focus on the future of gaming and unlocking the various benefits blockchain technology provides to that industry. 

Several games exist under the Myria banner, including Metarush, Metakart, and Block Royale. Adding a Web3 sports prediction app highlights the potential of Myria and its overall scalability. Moreover, the team is confident NFTs represent much more than virtual art. Non-fungible tokens can serve utility and entertainment purposes, as illustrated by Maincard. 

The play-and-earn nature of Maincard caters to a global audience of sports fans and enthusiasts. Users earn cryptocurrency for correct predictions involving sporting fixtures. Users who earn the most MainCoins receive their share of the prize fund. However, those who make inaccurate predictions will see their Maincard NFT’s life decrease. Restoring life is possible with MainCoins. The currency will also make its way to various exchanges in Q1 2023. 

The partnership with Myria coincides with Maincard adding an NHL sportsbook to its Web3 sports prediction platform. Other support sports on the app include soccer, basketball, and the League of Legends esports scene. More sports will be added over time.

About Maincard

Maincard is a fantasy sports platform deployed on the Polygon network. The app enables gamers to speculate on the outcome of sporting fixtures against one another, receiving rewards via cryptocurrency or NFTs for making correct predictions. The application launched its main net after thorough testing just six months after its founders came up with the idea to spur Web3 adoption via gaming. Maincard hopes its innovative game mechanics will help encourage Web3’s mass adoption among the more than five billion sports fans worldwide.

DeFi Yield Protocol Rebrands as Dypius to Help Users Embrace Metaverse Opportunities

///

Bucharest, Romania, 12th December, 2022, Chainwire


After experiencing success in the crypto space, DeFi Yield Protocol announces a complete rebranding to Dypius. The experienced team conducted several months’ worth of research to come up with the best way to represent what they had evolved into over the years.

Dypius has the suffix of the nebulae in the galaxy. Nebulas are the formations of gas, dust, and other materials that “clump” together to form denser regions in the universe. They attract further matter and eventually become dense enough to form stars, planets, and planetary system objects. Dypius is the place of creation of stars, planets, and life. This is Dypius, a place to create and shape the future!

DYP began as a DeFi protocol at the dawn of decentralized finance, offering earning opportunities on three different blockchains. However, it was clear from the start that it would be developing into much more than that. In fact, the team sought to build a decentralized ecosystem with multiple DeFi products and services.

Soon, DYP expanded to include 12 unique products bringing value to the crypto market and its users. These solutions include the advanced analytics DYP Tools offering real-time data, market insights, breaking news, and updates on the latest market trends to empower users to make better-informed decisions.

The newly-rebranded Dypius keeps the DYP Tools as one of the ecosystem’s most lucrative features. The same goes for the Dypius Launchpad, which supports new projects by helping them raise capital in a decentralized environment and get exposure to Dypius’ global community.

Additionally, the team is developing the Dypius Metaverse, a unique metaverse platform integrating the CAWS NFT collection. This engaging and convenient platform offers an immersive experience with exciting environments to explore, real-time user interaction, user customization, and much more. The platform will include a standalone application and a PCVR) play-to-earn (P2E) game allowing players to use their NFTs as companions in various adventures or to check their crypto portfolios.

Users can take advantage of the Dypius Metaverse to bring their real-life businesses into a virtual space. Moreover, users can access unique opportunities to earn rewards and in-game assets. This platform offers unlimited possibilities for regular users and businesses through sustainable growth and constant innovation.

The DYP founder Mihai Busica commented on the protocol’s rebranding to Dypius:

“From the beginning, I have always envisioned a project that users can benefit from in an accessible and secure environment. I am extremely proud of our expert team’s dedication and the project’s journey from a simple protocol to an advanced decentralized ecosystem. I urge our users to enjoy exploring our ecosystem and embrace each opportunity.”

About Dypius

Dypius, formerly DeFi Yield Protocol (DYP), is a rapidly developing DeFi ecosystem incorporating numerous versatile solutions, including yield farming, staking, NFTs, analytical tools, and Metaverse gaming. The project runs on unique smart contracts using the protocol’s proprietary anti-manipulation functionality.

The protocol’s token, DYP, is listed on top-tier exchanges, such as Coinbase, Huobi Global, KuCoin, Gate.io, MEXC Global, Bitrue, Poloniex, and others.

The upcoming metaverse-based P2E game allows players to socialize in the open virtual world through features like the Mall, an NFT Marketplace, a DYP Shop, and a Trade Station. Furthermore, the game will feature a balance section, enabling players to deposit DYP and iDYP tokens to their wallets, withdraw rewards, or transfer credits.

Virtua expands its metaverse with the launch of the Monster Zone

///

London, United Kingdom, 12th December, 2022, Chainwire


Games metaverse Virtua has announced the launch of the Monster Zone. The first area to be released on Virtua Island, a key region of its home planet in the metaverse – Virtua Prime. 

The launch of Virtua Island follows the successful launch of Cardano Island in the Virtua metaverse and both will form parts of a 3D world in the virtual space.

The Monster Zone draws together elements of the metaverse and gaming in ways never before possible and will be populated with amazing creatures from well-known IPs and new exciting brands. Through challenges and events, players will be able to acquire, craft, and trade various resources and creatures, to gain out-of-this-world riches and rewards.

Virtua is no stranger to working with monsters in the metaverse, having collaborated with Legendary Pictures on a number of exclusive digital collectible initiatives. The first of which was alongside the theatrical release of Godzilla Vs Kong in 2021, and more recently the launch of the Godzilla Vs Kong Legacy collection.

Land Plots and Condos are now available in the Monster Zone, unlocking a range of exciting features including access to the free-roam Monster Park, the Monster Hub, and specially themed cribs to store digital collectibles.

There are a fixed number of land plots to buy across Small, Medium, and Large sizes. Also launching is the Giga plot allowing owners to build their own tower in Virtua, and the popular metaverse Condos, which for the first time will be available to purchase on the Virtua iOS and Android app.

5,002 plots and 1,000 condos are available to purchase via the Ethereum network using ETH or Virtua’s native token TVK, those purchasing land with TVK will automatically receive a 10% discount. There are an additional 500 plots available to Cardano users, available to purchase in ADA.

Every land plot will include mineable resources that can be crafted into items to play, trade, or sell. Rarer plots include slots for land bots to help mine and explore, plus access to rarer resources and non-playable characters.

Further playable features are planned for the Monster Zone as well as a monster breeding programme which will include unique generative drops and revenue share opportunities for landowners. All landowners will get early access to all new Virtua Prime launches planned for the months ahead, plus chances to grab valuable items like relics, loot boxes, game cubes, and much more. 

Virtua CEO and co-founder, Jawad Ashraf said: “In developing Virtua Prime we’re focused on tangible utility through blockchain technology, creating compelling reasons for individuals and brands to participate and own land in the metaverse. We want to answer the question; ‘Why own land in the metaverse?’ For us, it’s all about creating lots of fun and utility, and the Monster Zone is no exception. 

“With high fidelity graphics, world-leading industry expertise and an exciting roadmap for continuous development, we are developing a genre-defining games metaverse. We can’t wait to welcome everyone into Virtua Island Monster Zone to experience Monster Zone and the Virtua metaverse.”

During the first day of the Monster Zone mint event, users will be able to mint Large Land Plots and Gigaplots only – and everyone who mints a Large Land Plot will also get a free Monster Zone NFT reward. Over the course of this mint week, everyone who mints a Small, Medium, or Large Monster Zone Land Plot will receive an exclusive metaverse-ready NFT vehicle. Prestige members and Virtua VIPs will have exclusive access to the first pre-mint stage.

Virtua Prime’s Monster Zone land sale, which goes live at 5 pm GMT, is accessible on laptop, desktop, and on mobile in the metamask app browser. Following the launch of Virtua’s all-new mobile app for iOS and Android, users can easily purchase metaverse Condos – a world first, giving fans and collectors an easy way to own their own home in the metaverse. To buy land on mobile, users will need to use in-app V-Credits.

Virtua Island is the second island after Cardano Island was announced on Virtua Prime. There are plans for further zones on the island based on interests, such as sports, music, automotive, and for third-party partners.

About Virtua
Founded in 2017, Virtua is a games metaverse that provides immersive Web3 gaming and digital collectible experiences – through its curated marketplace, interactive virtual environments, and exclusive brand partnerships.

Amidst the Bear Market, New Math Startup Nillion Assembles ‘Avengers Team’ and Raises $20m+ From Over 150 Strategic Contributors

//

New York, New York, 12th December, 2022, Chainwire


Web3 startup Nillion has closed a $20m+ fundraise from strategic partners and investors. The project is based on a new mathematical innovation, invented by cryptography professor Dr. Miguel de Vega, called Nil Message Compute (NMC) which enables the creation of a non-blockchain decentralized network that aims to open up new, non-blockchain, decentralized use cases. 

Since its founding in November 2021, Nillion has bootstrapped to a headcount of over 40 with no external funding. Members of the Founding Teams of Uber, Indiegogo and Hedera Hashgraph, as well as key executives from Coinbase and Nike have joined forces at Nillion to build the platform. The company aims to become the first non-blockchain decentralized network designed to enable new decentralized use cases while providing the private and secure transfer, storage and computation of data. 

Nillion CEO, Alex Page, reports that raising $20m+ from over 150 investors was a conscious decision to prevent typical concentrated ownership amongst a small number of venture capitalists who may have adverse incentives to ‘dump’ in the long-term: 

“We’ve seen so many web3 projects suffer because their network was owned by early investors with excessively concentrated holdings. That’s exactly why we passed on certain Silicon Valley VCs who wanted over 5% of tokens to simply lend their name to the project. Instead we carefully invited a widely distributed pool of early contributors who love, support and add value to the project.” 

The round was led by Distributed Global, and includes investment from Big Brain Holdings, Chapter One, GSR, Hashkey, OP Crypto, SALT Fund and 150+ others. 

David Gan, GP of OP Crypto said, “It’s very rare to have a truly novel math innovation being built by an elite ‘Avengers level’ team. Nillion could open a new universe of use cases blockchain never imagined. What proof of work did for blockchain, I think NMC may do for Multi-Party Computation as a technology.” 

Another investor, Alex Klokus of SALT Fund states, “Nillion is a world-class team

pursuing an extremely ambitious,order of magnitude improvement over existing MPC technology. If they pull it off, it could be revolutionary.” 

NMC enables the fragmentation and dispersion of data across the Nillion network of nodes which creates privacy while still allowing the underlying data to be computed on quickly. A key feature of the technology is that this process occurs without the need for communication between the nodes. 

According to the team, company website and online materials, NMC technology unlocks new utility in web3, such as decentralized credit scoring, decentralized trusted execution environments, private NFTs and decentralized secure storage services. Other potential use cases promised outside of web3 include storing healthcare records on the network while being able to run analysis on the records without jeopardizing an individual’s right to privacy. 

Nil Message Compute (NMC) was developed by Nillion’s Chief Scientist, Dr. Miguel de Vega, who has authored more than 30 patents in the fields of machine learning, data optimization and mathematics. In addition to Dr. Vega, Nillion’s leadership team includes: 

  • Chief Technology Officer Conrad Whelan, the Founding Engineer of Uber.
  • Head of Cryptography Dr. Elizabeth Quaglia, a senior lecturer at Royal Holloway, University of London, one of the world’s leading cryptography institutions.
  • Chief Executive Officer Alex Page, an ex-Goldman Sachs investment banker and Hedera SPV General Partner
  • Director of Crypto Tristan Litré, previously CTO of a DeFi platform acquired by AQRU.
  • Chief Business Officer Slava Rubin, the Founder and former CEO of Indiegogo.
  • Chief Strategy Officer Andrew Masanto, who started two of the top 100 cryptocurrencies – Hedera Hashgraph and Reserve.
  • Head of Ecosystem Mark McDermott, previously the Lead of Innovation Partnerships at Nike.
  • General Counsel Lindsay Danas Cohen, the former associate General Counsel at Coinbase and a legal counsel at Bloomberg.

Nillion is prioritizing ecosystem development from an early stage in protocol development and reports significant interest from both web2 and web3 participants. 

“We’ve had expressions of interest from over 120 companies wanting to test applications or build on Nillion, which shows the need for a commercially viable private computation network. Data stored on the Nillion network is not only safe, but it can be used for extremely fast, private computations,” says Alex Page, CEO of Nillion. 

About Nillion 

Nillion is new internet infrastructure for the secure storage and computation of data. It is a decentralized network (albeit not a blockchain) that utilizes a novel mathematical innovation called Nil Message Compute (NMC) which represents a generational leap in a technology known as secure multi-party computation (MPC). Nillion facilitates the fragmentation of data across a network of nodes, while allowing the underlying data to be computed on at commercially viable speeds.

Huobi Announces Partnership with Tafabot

///

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 9th December, 2022, Chainwire


Revolutionary Artificial Intelligence trading and portfolio management company, Tafabot, has partnered with China’s leading Crypto exchange company, Huobi, to provide automated trades to crypto enthusiasts. 

What started as an idea during the COVID19 lockdown in 2020, is today one of the leading solutions in the crypto industry today. Having been in the beta phase for nearly 2 years, Tafabot finally went live on September 12th 2022 on the iOS and Google App Stores. 

The automated non-custodial trading bot has its operational headquarters in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, With across-border utility to serve millions of crypto professionals, newbies, and enthusiasts, Tafabot is the world’s pioneer bot system enabled for futures, spot and arbitrage markets combined. Both Huobi and Tafabot view their partnership as a strategic step towards improving the easy adoption of crypto and blockchain knowledge across communities around the world.

 Samuel Benedict and Dr. OVO (Otubo Victor), co-founders of Tafabot, said, “our primary motto, especially for now, is excellence and speed. We are glad that in just 50 days of going live, we have already closed a strategic partnership with one of the largest players in the industry. For us, it’s reassuring that what we are doing is really having a noticeable impact.”

Samuel Benedict, Tafabot’s CTO, expressed confidence in the ability of the partnership to unlock rapid inclusion and economic opportunities for all. “We didn’t like the traditional trading methods that existed out there. People had to constantly be on screens all day just to trade. Of course, this has discouraged a lot of interested persons from really getting their hands on crypto. And yes, there are also some other bots that came before us, but just like the exchanges, their processes are complex and do not bring in any simplicity.
