Sensorium is announcing that the Sensorium Galaxy metaverse has entered its much-awaited VR multiplayer public playtest as it opens up access to more virtual reality and content features inside virtual worlds, while also laying out a new metaverse doctrine.
Delivering on its promise to develop a full-fledged metaverse with unparalleled entertainment offerings, Sensorium is unveiling PRISM, a virtual world dedicated to music, as the first destination to become available to users. Inside this environment, visitors can experience the 24/7 galactic Sensorium Party where Sensorium’s pioneering AI avatars can be seen performing.
The new stage enables users to become familiar with the metaverse’s VR mechanics, its immersive environments, and avatar customization options.
Users will also have the opportunity of interacting, for the first time, with others in VR and via voice chat, meeting not only other human participants but also AI virtual beings.
Sensorium Galaxy is emerging as the first AAA-inhabited metaverse with a community of AI-powered avatars populating its virtual worlds. Here, social AI is a core technology in powering next-generation networking relationship building and content creation, for users and artists alike.
Sensorium’s press secretary, the AI-driven avatar Yonaka, offers a detailed look at the company’s global metaverse doctrine.
In another demonstration of the groundbreaking capabilities of generative AI technology to hold contextual conversations, Sensorium is now also unveiling the Salvador Dali Experience, a VR environment where users are invited to meet the AI avatar of the late genius and chat with Dali’s virtual being across an endless variety of topics.
Based on these features, Sensorium is opening up a pathway for users to live out alternative life scenarios, build a digital self, and attain digital immortality, whereby they choose the digital footprint they’re leaving behind and allow future generations to interact with.
Built on top of Unreal Engine 5 as well as advanced VR and AI technologies, the depths of Sensorium Galaxy unfold across several virtual worlds, each dedicated to different types of entertainment and filled with curated content.
Developed in collaboration with nightlife entertainment visionary, music trendsetter, and Hï Ibiza and Ushuaïa Ibiza founder Yann Pissenem, PRISM world is already a confirmed destination for shows by acclaimed world-class performers, including David Guetta, Carl Cox, and Black Coffee, among others. The first three performances in PRISM are slated to take place during the first half of 2023. The second half of the year will also see the release of MOTION, introducing users to more ‘virtual life’ mechanics of Sensorium Galaxy.
Crucial to all metaverse activities, Sensorium Galaxy’s in-platform token, SENSO, will continue supporting the entirety of the ecosystem, across activities and offerings such as premium content and NFT drops.
NFT drops scheduled for 2023 include DAPP avatars and UNDER land tokens. These assets will be used in Sensorium’s decentralized platform, which ensures that all users have ownership over their digital assets and are the sole entity responsible for decision-making over their virtual possessions. Starship and UNDER will become the first two virtual environments to leverage Web3 capabilities within the Sensorium ecosystem.
All of these blockchain-based activities are now being made compatible with VR.
Sensorium Galaxy is available on Steam, where users can access the metaverse’s public playtest, as well as the Sensorium Galaxy mobile app. Full cross-platform access, including desktop access, will become available later this year.

Massive Gaming, NEOWIZ’s overseas affiliate, will launch the global social casino slot game House of Slots in March 2023, House of Poker, a global social casino hold’em game will be released as a follow-up.
Before and after launch, tokens, airdrops, and game NFT free minting will be included in House of Slots. Introduced as the world’s first stable blockchain technology-based social casino game, House of Slots is intended to provide users with the opportunity to experience the Play and Earn ecosystem before launch.
House of Slots will offer over 80 different social casino slot machine games and provide users with a realistic and fair gaming experience. Through the Web3-based Play and Earn system, users will be able to unlock rewards in the game’s decentralized economy, which will give users the opportunity to play games that will allow them to own more value in the game. This provides an opportunity for users of House of Slots to more fully own their value in the game. To this end, the IntellaX ecosystem developed by NEOWIZ in partnership with Polygon is already being serviced globally.
One airdrop event is scheduled before the launch, and user reward events will continue after the launch. Information on airdrops and NFT free minting events can be received through communities on Discord, Twitter, and Telegram. Links to the airdrop page can be found on Gleam. Users who participate in each event must install an IntellaX wallet to receive rewards, and wallet installation is possible through a simple login registration or by linking their email allowing users to easily participate in the events.
There are additional benefits through House of Slots mission play, and in particular, users who will own an NFT will receive more valuable rewards through the NFT holder limited event after opening. While slots may be a solitary game we have built up a community around it. Make sure to join our discord server to relive your big wins. You can also learn more about the upcoming events on our Medium page.
The most notable aspect of this project is the adoption of the stable USDC, a coin fixed to the value of the US dollar. Global users can play various social casino games for free and earn USDC with specific goods provided by the game. This will prevent the decline of the game token’s value, which has been the most notable issue with Web3-based games so far. As for the Play and Earn system, users will be paid USDC as a reward, ensuring stability in reward value.
To date, small and medium-sized game developers have experimented with the combination of Play and Earn games based on blockchain technology, but the in-game economies have not provided a stable structure that produces fair benefits to users.
The benefits have only been seen by developers in their token mining profits. However, House of Slots is the world’s first social casino game service based on blockchain technology that applies a Play and Earn structure that can fairly benefit users due to the use of the stable USDC in the game. Users will be expected to have the opportunity to use various services within the blockchain ecosystem as well as enjoy social casino games through the world’s first social casino game based on blockchain technology.

The PlayDapp team announced the acquisition of ProudNet, the renowned peer-to-peer server network provider. This move is seen as an aggressive step towards entering the US gaming market and is set to provide game developers with the best possible technology in terms of stability and reliability for online multiplayer gameplay.
ProudNet, formerly a subsidiary of Pearl Abyss best known for cross-platform MMORPG Black Desert, is used by over 200 games globally. The company’s expansive portfolio is comprised of globally renowned titles, including Nexon’s “Vindictus”, Netmarble’s “Monster Taming”, “Seven Knights”, and “Marvel Future Fight” and Capcom’s “Street Fighter 5”.
Moreover, Proudnet is preferred by server developers for its patented technologies like System And Method For Changing Channels For Guaranteed Reliability Communications (Patent Issued 2016.5.31) and User Datagram Protocol Networking Method For Stability Improvement (Patent Issued 2019.6.11). It is this technology that enables the company to achieve world-class performance in online gameplay.
FPS, MRPG, MMORPG and other online, mobile, and social game-developing companies use Proudnet to make online gameplay more stable and reliable, which is notoriously hard to achieve. The company’s main client base consists of Asian game developers, however, with this acquisition, PlayDapp is looking to bring this game-changing technology to the US market.
An Acquisition to Transform the Gaming Industry
PlayDapp’s acquisition enables game developers to tap into the power of ProudNet’s P2P technology stack, by outsourcing most of the server development work and therefore significantly cutting costs. This means that developers can now deploy reliable, secure, lightning-fast peer-to-peer networks for their games with minimal effort and time.
Not only does this speed up development cycles and massively reduce costs but it also brings several other benefits that aim to increase the effectiveness of the game development industry. With ProudNet, PlayDapp will allow game developers to:
• Decrease the number of in-game drop-offs
• Reduce the cost of hosting by allowing games to be hosted on multiple servers instead of just one
• Significantly reduce latency and lag in online multiplayer games
• Process over 13,000 simultaneously connected players
• Employ multi-threading in server-to-server communication
• Achieve over 56% mobile hole-punching success rate
• Maintain gameplay stability at 98% or more.
When combined with the effective suite of PlayDapp’s blockchain products, the acquisition of ProudNet brings an all-in-one solution to developers.
PlayDapp’s Continued Market Growth
PlayDapp is a global blockchain middleware provider. It enables companies across many different industries to integrate blockchain technology into their business models and easily turn their assets into Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).
Notable partnerships include creating the Metaverse version of Samsung’s Everland, KB Bank (Korea’s Largest Bank) and PlayDapp’s blockchain-based C2C NFT Marketplace (formally Polygon’s Number one marketplace) allows gamers and users to freely buy, sell and trade their digital assets with each other. PlayDapp has seen tremendous success in terms of its market cap with a total of $133,240,187 at the time of writing (2/16/2023).
CryptoDozer, DozerBird, and Along with the Gods are just some of the company’s popular games. Players can expect even more games to come out of the press as the acquisition of ProudNet makes game development much more accessible.
PlayDapp is proud to announce the launch of its new office in Irvine, California, and will be utilizing ProudNet Technology for US game developers. With the newly added tech stack, PlayDapp aims to substantially improve the ecosystem of how games are created and experienced by users all across America.
About ProudNet
As the infrastructure to numerous game features, ProudNet enables advanced functionality such as real-time interactions across different devices, secure data transmission, and reliable latency. Game developers who are interested in learning more about ProudNet and its benefits should visit PlayDapp’s booth at the Game Developers Conference on March 20-25th, Booth S355.

Today China Telecom and Conflux Network announce a partnership to bring Blockchain SIM cards (BSIM) to market. The entry-level Web3 product will be the largest blockchain hardware product ever seen globally, involving the most users and applications. China Telecom will launch the first BSIM pilot program in Hong Kong later this year.
This will likely be followed by pilots in key mainland China locations such as Shanghai.
BSIM will dramatically lower the barrier to entry to Web3 for China Telecom’s 390+ million mobile phone subscribers, while making transactions faster and more secure. By making telecom users’ personal digital assets more secure, the goal is to make mobile phones more secure.
The BSIM card integrates Conflux’s Tree-graph, dual proof of stake and proof of work technology, enabling the highest system performance for any blockchain in the world. It uses the hardware security advantages of SIM cards to protect users’ private keys, which is a secure and convenient Web3 entry solution.
The BSIM Card is indistinguishable from a traditional SIM in appearance but the storage space is 10-20 times larger than the traditional SIM card, and the computing power is increased by tens of times. Users who switch to a BSIM card will be able to store digital assets safely, transfer their digital assets conveniently, and display their assets in a variety of applications.
The BSIM card will manage and store the user’s public and private keys in the card, and carry out digital signatures in a way that the private key does not exit the card. The BSIM card can also allow encrypted storage, key retrieval and other operations. The built-in Bluetooth module will be responsible for the signature and transfer of assets, to ensure the security of personal digital assets. This reduces the risk of the user being attacked by viruses and other malicious software on the mobile phone.
Users’ identifiers in the traditional world, such as mobile phone numbers, can be tied to their Decentralized Identifiers (DID). This will allow for better integration and interaction between virtual and real-world information. BSIM cards can also be combined with abstract accounts based on smart contracts, enabling blockchain applications to safely and efficiently use users’ crypto and traditional world information. Connecting DID with cell phone numbers may also alleviate some of the regulatory concerns stemming from the anonymity of the blockchain technology.
The initial agreement was signed in 2022 between Conflux Network and China Telecom and this prototype is the culmination of a strategic year-long engagement with the goal to build hardware products at the entrance to the world’s metaverse.
The research and development phase of BSIM card is now complete, and it has successfully connected with Conflux’s main network in the test environment. This prototype has the storage and sending functions of digital assets. Conflux and China Telecom will now focus on enriching the BSIM card’s ecological applications, with emphasis on games, payments and other fields.
Dr. Ming Wu, CTO of Conflux Network said “The BSIM card significantly improves the user experience and lowers the barriers to entry for Web3 and the Metaverse world for users. It is key to allowing Conflux to take its ecosystem to the next level. Collaborating with such a strong partner like China Telecom and initiating it from Hong Kong will allow us to enter the market in the near future, both in China and globally.”
Dr. Liang Wei, Deputy Director of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, China Academy of Telecommunication Research said “Blockchain-based digital identity lies in the core of future Web3.0, while blockchain-based digital assets are an important catalyst for the Metaverse. The BSIM card is positioned as the entrance infrastructure of the Metaverse, which provides differentiated functions such as telecom hardware security, intelligent digital wallet, as well as DID value-added services. Partnership with Conflux will accelerate the process of connecting Web2.0 and Web3.0 users in this most imaginative space.”

UK-based PEGA Pool announces the official launch of its eco-friendly Bitcoin mining pool that enables clients to offset their carbon footprint and incentivizes them to use renewable energy. By allowing clients to connect their ASIC miners to its platform and mine together, it provides them with a more consistent and attractive income than mining alone.
PEGA Pool is one of the world’s top 10 largest Bitcoin mining pools, according to BTC.com. With the growing adoption of Bitcoin, the Proof-of-Work mining operations have received a lot of criticism from individuals, corporations, and governments over the industry’s fossil fuel consumption. Countries such as China have banned crypto mining due to its negative environmental impacts. As a result, the industry is witnessing a spike in demand for sustainable mining options.
PEGA Pool’s mission to create a more sustainable industry began with its parent company PEGA Mining Ltd, which uses only renewable energy for its mining operations, demonstrating that large-scale Bitcoin mining with green energy alone is absolutely possible.
David Bungay, CEO of PEGA Pool, said, “I am very excited to announce the official launch of PEGA Pool, our British Eco-Friendly Bitcoin Mining Pool. Our journey began with PEGA Mining which gave us the desire to build PEGA Pool and provide the world with what was missing in our industry. We built PEGA Pool so that we could not only offer our clients a top-performing trustworthy mining pool but also provide them with an incentive to change the industry for the better and follow in our green footsteps.”
PEGA Pool offers an aggressive payout structure with a competitive Full-Pay-Per-Share (FPPS) model that incentivizes miners to switch to renewable energy sources. It is one of the highest paying Bitcoin mining pools for revenue per TH (Terahash). The platform is open to all Bitcoin mining clients, irrespective of what energy source they use.
Clients mining with renewable energy pay 50% lower pool fees. It not only rewards miners making a positive impact on the environment, but also encourages others to use renewable energy.
For those mining with fossil fuel sources, PEGA Pool uses a portion of their pool fees to plant trees in order to partially offset their carbon footprint. It has already planted over 148,000 trees, resulting in a yearly offset of 3,967 tons of CO2. This initiative gives miners the peace of mind that PEGA Pool is planting trees on their behalf to help offset their carbon emissions.
Currently, with the Bitcoin price low and mining difficulty rising, miners are finding it difficult to generate profits. With PEGA Pool, they benefit from the reduced pool fees, which can make a noticeable difference in their profitability. It ensures that miners can stay afloat even during the bear market.
PEGA Pool’s unique Global Pool Infrastructure ensures that it is resilient to outages and equipment issues, including those caused by natural disasters. Established and operating in the UK, the platform offers the world a trustworthy and reliable mining pool that was built by miners themselves.
About PEGA Pool
PEGA Pool is a UK-based, eco-friendly Bitcoin mining pool which enables clients to obtain a more consistent, stable income than they would mining alone whilst offsetting their carbon emissions. The platform is open to all Bitcoin miners, regardless of whether they use renewable or non-renewable energy.
