Sushi deploys to Kava, debuting major UI overhaul

/////

San Francisco, United States, 28th September, 2022, Chainwire


Sushi completes deployment to the Kava blockchain with a liquidity pool eligible for KAVA and SUSHI token rewards.

Earlier this year, Kava shook up the L1 industry with its Ethereum Co-Chain launch, sparking the fastest growth of protocols on any blockchain in 2022. Today, tier-1 DeFi protocol Sushi combines its deployment to Kava with an up to $7M matching rewards plan alongside their elegantly redesigned Sushi 2.0 user interface.

Providing liquidity to Sushi’s wKAVA/USDC pool deployed to the Kava EVM will be eligible for KAVA and SUSHI token rewards. Sushi’s deployment also enables users to create new pools with other asset pairs, especially after the Kava 11 upgrade and the Ethereum bridge later this year. These actions position Sushi as the primary decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Kava EVM.

“Kava is a 100% growth-oriented blockchain fueled by the Kava Rise incentives program. Sushi has believed in this program from the start and was an early pioneer. Today, I’m excited to announce that Sushi also chose Kava to premier a one-of-a-kind DeFi user experience. Kava aims to onboard and engage more protocols than all the other L1 networks. Kava will reach that goal with visionary partners like Sushi.” – Scott Stuart, CEO of Kava Labs.

“We are grateful to be a part of what we consider an exciting new blockchain infrastructure. We are humbled to be included as one of the first DEXes on the Kava chain. We believe Kava’s focus on growth and connecting with all kinds of projects to help them grow through the Kava Rise program is the best approach. Unveiling our new UI at the moment of this deployment is a testament to the importance of combining our forces.” – The Sushi team.

Sushi and Kava’s partnership milestone is made possible by Kava Rise, a $750M rewards program designed to push 10x growth on the Kava blockchain. Being a part of Kava Rise means all Sushi pools on Kava will accumulate programmatic, on-chain rewards for the Sushi protocol.

Alongside its deployment to Kava and introduction to the Kava Rise program, Sushi implements a new UI designed to improve the user experience, improving the user experience for Sushi’s most-used apps — Trident, Furo, and BentoBox. All of these dApps will be accessible from the Kava EVM and eligible for accumulating Kava Rise incentives for the Sushi protocol.

Sushi is an Ethereum-based decentralized protocol that delivers a robust suite of DeFi applications. The Sushi ecosystem currently holds over $1.5B in Total Liquidity with more than 150K Sushi token holders and 15.68K asset trading pairs. Users can interact with Sushi on 20+ wallets and 15 supported blockchains.

/////

Singapore, Singapore, 27th September, 2022, Chainwire

By partnering with Huobi Ventures, Magic Square will be able to continue to develop its platform, accelerate the adoption of its technology, scale up user acquisition, and expand global reach.

Huobi Ventures is a strategic investment arm of Huobi with a strong focus on supporting blockchain projects. Magic Square is excited to further expand its magic suite of blockchain-enabled applications with the full-on support and resources offered by Huobi Ventures.

MetaMask integration unlocks Decentralized Social for millions of Ethereum users

/////

Denver, Co, 26th September, 2022, Chainwire


DeSo, a new blockchain-backed by Coinbase, Sequoia, and Andreessen Horowitz, has announced its integration with MetaMask. As a result, millions of Ethereum users can now enjoy one-click access to encrypted on-chain messaging and a full Twitter-like feature set.

DeSo’s integration with the leading web3 wallet effectively turns MetaMask into a full-fledged decentralized social network. It also paves the way for DeSo to become the cross-chain social layer for all web3.

DeSo Founder Nader Al-Naji said: “Existing blockchains cannot store content efficiently. It costs about $50 to store a 200-character Tweet on Ethereum and about fifteen cents to store it on Solana, Avalanche, or Polygon. In contrast, DeSo is one ten-thousandth of a cent, making it the first blockchain capable of disrupting storage-heavy applications like social.”

MetaMask users will gain access to gas-less profile creation, posting, following of other users, a fully decentralized on-chain follow graph, and much more. Thanks to the integration, a MetaMask user on Compound could send an encrypted message to someone currently on Uniswap and that user would receive the message via DeSo.

Similarly, a user on OpenSea could leave a comment on an NFT and have it appear on other platforms where that NFT is listed like Rarible or SupeRare. This system works even if one user is on Polygon network and the other is on Ethereum.

Social media today is controlled by a handful of private corporations – but that could change as wallets like MetaMask expand from handling just money to social identity and social interactions. Having gained a presence in the Ethereum ecosystem, DeSo plans to expand to Solana next by integrating with Phantom wallet. 

About Deso

DeSo is the the only layer-1 blockchain designed to build and scale decentralized social media apps to 1 billion users. Notable DeSo holders include Sequoia, Coinbase Ventures, a16z, Winklevoss Capital, and Alex Ohanian.

OKLink ‘confident of becoming a hub in the Web3 era’

/////

Blockchain data and information service provider OKLink has strengthened its product development this year by releasing a series of upgrades to its product line, including several remarkable changes to its multi-blockchain explorers. These are viewed as critical steps that could help realize its parent entity OKG’s ambition of becoming a Web3 conglomerate.

A highlight of OKLink’s blockchain explorer pre- and post-Ethereum Merge

“We are confident of becoming a hub in the Web3 era as demand for blockchain data has increased substantially along with the constant development of the crypto world,” said Hermione, head of the multichain explorer product team at OKLink.

Hermione’s confidence is not groundless. Not long ago, she and her teammates witnessed a growth of four times in website traffic around the Ethereum Merge on Sept. 15. “We had prepared a countdown page for the Merge pretty early so that our users could always know when it would happen,” added Hermione. As the Merge drew near, the team’s efforts started to get noticed when more and more people began to post screenshots of the page here and there.

Another thing that Hermione felt delighted to talk about was that OKLink was the first to launch a reliable EthereumPoW (ETHW) explorer in the industry and is now the only official provider of blockchain explorer for ETHW, a forked blockchain of Ethereum after the Merge.

User-driven design and globalization: OKLink’s strategy for its multichain explorer development

It was no accident that the market gave positive feedback on OKLink’s products. “We’ve made tangible progress in developing and honing the multichain explorer this year due to our adopted strategy,” explained Hermione. “When the opinions from our users value more in the decision-making process, we’re encouraged to strive to make blockchain data understandable and accessible for a wide and varied audience interested in blockchain and crypto.”

The multichain explorer developed by OKLink incorporates a multitude of different blockchains into one search engine. Users can filter blocks, transactions and content by various criteria over blockchains. It currently supports 18 public blockchains, all of which are of broad concern in the market: Solana, Polygon and Avalanche, to name a few. Moreover, at least eight more explorers for public blockchains, such as Optimism, Arbitrum, Fantom and Aptos, are waiting to roll out. 

Besides, the open APIs provided by OKLink’s multichain explorer have granted developers and researchers full access to the data contained on four blockchains. All blockchain explorers will support API access in the future. The API feature may aid numerous analytical queries, such as filtering, sorting and aggregating up-to-the-minute blockchain data. Businesses could also benefit from connectivity and query options that tailor and aggregate meaningful data in many ways to provide the best product for traders, custodians, exchanges and private investors at fast speeds and reliability. 

Furthermore, for the convenience of users from around the globe, OKLinks multichain explorer could switch between 12 languages. And also, blockchain data is mostly well visualized in charts or diagrams to match users’ needs for comparing trends across blockchains. 

The new normal: Multichain explorer as a vital entrance to the Web3 world

For any crypto market participant, whether a trader, a crypto wallet service provider or a crypto exchange, a blockchain explorer would be a must to understand what is happening on the blockchain in real-time.

There has been a broad consensus that search engines are now the critical Web2 infrastructure. And we are all getting used to finding data or information by “Googling” around. While in the era of Web3, most data would be stored on the blockchain, a ledger that contains all the transactions ever processed. Consequently, finding one particular data entry would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. The easier way to examine and explore on-chain data and information would be to use a blockchain explorer. This would also gradually become Web3 users’ new normal.

With the ongoing development of the blockchain industry and the introduction of new techniques (especially the interoperability between blockchains), a significant trend has formed where the multichain explorer is becoming more and more popular. 

Just like dining in an all-you-can-eat restaurant, one may access data and information from various blockchains at the same time through the help of a multi-blockchain explorer. Furthermore, the service provider may add additional functions and features to the explorer, such as in-depth research and analysis of the crypto market. 

About OKLink

As OKLink’s parent company, OKG is one of the earliest blockchain companies founded in China. It has now developed into a conglomerate and a leader in the blockchain industry. Established in 2013, OKG has been committed to the research and development and commercialization of blockchain technology. OKLink has been one of OKG’s subsidiaries dedicated to blockchain data and information services since 2018. Visit the website and Twitter for more information.


MMORPG Zalmoxis to launch on MEXC

/////

From 16:00 on Sept. 23 to 15:59 on Sept. 27 (UTC), the cryptocurrency trading platform MEXC will hold the latest event on its launchpad. The event project is Zalmoxis (KOSON), a AAA-level massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) game developed by Wenmoon Studios Ltd.

It is known that MEXC’s launchpad is specially launched for MX holders, and MX holders can get the opportunity to participate in the project early. A total of 1 million KOSON will be released in this event, and the price will be 0.1 Tether (USDT). During the event, anyone with MX or USDT holdings of more than 10 USDT can sign up to participate.

The launchpad will still implement the sharing mechanism, and users can share KOSON by registering for this event. The maximum single exchange amount of KOSON is limited to 100,000 MX or 1,000USDT.

According to the introduction, Age Of Zalmoxis is a third-person MMORPG based on the Elrond blockchain built with Unreal Engine 5. The game is set in an ancient fantasy world inspired by European folklore with dungeons and thousands of quests. Players create characters and gain experience through combat, narrative content, events, crafting, dungeons and other means to grow and create a fantasy version of the kingdom of Dacia.

Players can obtain two different types of nonfungible token (NFT) characters for free from the marketplace or from guilds. Players can develop their game characters by gaining combat experience, creating different stories, winning tournaments and many other ways.

The game has two narrative models: adventures and organic content. The adventure narrative guides players to grow and obtain corresponding rewards according to the growth of the character; other players create unique new content through the newly generated content of the game. Players can also build different structures, such as castles, by acquiring a certain number of land plots. These can be used throughout the game or staked to generate tokens that drive the game economy.

In MEXC’s previous launchpads, several projects such as GameFi projects Genopets (GENE), CropBytes (CBX) and decentralized sharing platform Dtravel (TRVL) were launched. They all performed well after their launch on the secondary market.

In addition, according to the MEXC event announcement, KOSON will be launched on the secondary market after this event ends. KOSON’s trading and mining activities, namely the trade-to-earn mechanism, will be launched as well. During the event period, users who trade KOSON will receive KOSON rewards.

GameFi platform BinaryX launches strategy game CyberChess with $500,000 Prize Pool

/////

Singapore, Singapore, 23rd September, 2022, Chainwire


BinaryX, a GameFi development platform, announced today the launch of CyberChess, one of the first free-to-play, play-and-earn auto chess strategy games in the P2E dominant GameFi space. CyberChess offers people on Web3.0 new entry points into the world of GameFi. 

$500,000 worth in BNX Prize Pool and Heroes Giveaway for CyberChess Launch

To celebrate the launch, BinaryX will commence Season 1 of Ranked mode battles, where players will stand a chance to win up to $500,000 USD worth of prizes in the first 8 weeks of launch. Over the same period, BNX airdrops will be announced and given away via Discord and Twitter

To get a headstart, players can also stand to receive additional 2 heroes and 2 skills when they enter the code ‘4morechess‘ under the settings option in the game menu.

New Free-to-Play, Play-and-Earn Model

As a free-to-play, play-and-earn web3 game, CyberChess differs from most play-to-earn games, and is designed to allow players to start playing the game without having to make an initial investment. When new players connect to the game for the first time, they can summon 5 free heroes and 2 free skills to start participating in matches with other players. 

Players can also recharge or make in-game purchases to summon new heroes and acquire new skills. This model lowers the barrier to entry for players new to GameFi and allows players to enjoy the game for its own sake, potentially earning in-game tokens in the process. 

Robust and Transparent Tokenomics 

As the third game in the Cyber series, CyberChess adds to the utility of BNX as it offers a new avenue for BNX token holders to consume in-game gold. 

The gold consumed in CyberChess goes back to funding the development of our games and to support DAO functionalities for community and resource management in the entire ecosystem. BinaryX provides a transparent look into how the funds are being used on their website. 

Explosive Battle Modes and Strategy-based Gameplay

As GameFi continues to mature and evolve as an industry, BinaryX plans to accelerate mass adoption of GameFi by making GameFi games more fun and challenging for players. This includes adding more complicated features and difficulty settings for gamers who want a solid strategy-based gaming experience as well as the earning potential of GameFi. 

The gameplay for CyberChess pays tribute to the popular auto chess game format in traditional gaming and is designed to elevate the gaming experience for players in GameFi. Players can participate in two battle modes – Ranked and Arena mode

In Ranked mode, players get to go head to head in a PvP match to accumulate in-game gold. On the other hand, players battle it out with other players to rise to the top of the leaderboard and take away an attractive prize pool of $BNX in Arena mode.

Read the CyberChess Wiki to learn the gameplay 

Addition of In-Game Marketplace

CyberChess comes with its very own in-game marketplace where players can list in-game assets such as heroes and skills in exchange for gold. This means that players have more avenues to upgrade or accumulate more gold. 

‘BinaryX created CyberChess to stand out amongst games in the play-to-earn genre. It comes with a more complex gameplay, which makes the game more challenging and fun for players who enjoy traditional strategy games. We’re excited for our fans to start playing CyberChess and to immerse into the new world we created,’ said Chun S., Global Head of Business Development at BinaryX.  

Launching as IGO Platform

Earlier this year, BinaryX announced its first IGO partnership. With the launch of CyberChess, BinaryX is poised to roll out its ambitious plans to serve as both a GameFi developer and IGO platform. 

‘The goal is to be a home ground for gamers, developers and investors to access and interact with GameFi. We aim to be the frontrunner in the space and we have a ton of exciting IGO projects coming up. Launching our IGO platform is the next step,’ Chun said.

Blue chip NFT raffle project ‘Bored & Lucky’ joins Yuga Labs IP Ecosystem

/////

US, NY, 22nd September, 2022, Chainwire


As the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) continues to reign the NFT space and going well beyond towards the mass adoption, we see the rise of projects using the full potential of renowned jpegs – as BAYC owners have full intellectual property rights over their NFTs. Recently the ecosystem has attracted a lot of big names that utilize IP offered by BAYC, like Snoop Dogg and Eminem who smashed the VMAs rocking their ape personas like nobody’s watching.

Now the Yuga Labs IP ecosystem is joined by the Bored & Lucky, the world’s  first Bored Ape raffle platform. The platform offers everyone a fair chance to win blue chip NFTs and join some of the most exclusive NFT-gated communities in Web3, like BAYC, MAYC, and CryptoPunks.

How it works

The whole process is fully transparent – all Bored & Lucky raffles are Ethereum smart contract based. The NFT prize and the funds received from the ticket sales are locked in the contract and the only way to release them is via a raffle process that is 100% fair for all parties involved.

The winning ticket is determined in a completely random and fair manner. To guarantee transparency and unbiased approach the winner is determined by smart contract via transaction on blockchain using Chainlink VRF to independently generate a random number to draw a winner.

There are currently 3 open raffles featuring a MAYC, a BAYC, and a CryptoPunk, with the very first DeadFellaz #1175 NFT already raffled away to a new winner.

Who is BAYC #4619

BAYC #4691 is an incredibly lucky ape who has made his fortune on smart crypto investment choices. A real connoisseur of art and all things classy, he’s now chasing away the boredom by spreading the luck and organizing raffles with life-changing blue chip NFTs.
