H.E. Justin Sun discusses the seamless Web3 future

/////

Geneva, Switzerland, 19th September, 2022, Chainwire


H.E. Justin Sun, Founder of TRON, spoke about the Seamless Web3 Future at Binance Blockchain Week in Paris. Sun was the key speaker at one of the most anticipated panel discussions with Eowyn Chen, CEO of Trust Wallet, and Jorn Lambert, Chief Digital Officer of Mastercard. The panel discussed important topics such as Web3 and its universal definition, key tools, critical issues, safety concerns, and other pressing matters concerning the industry’s future.

The discussion on Web3 and its technical definition kicked off the conversation. All panelists agreed that Web3 was already here, but mainstream adoption of Web3 is what will lead to the creation of more use cases. While Chen and Lambert expressed interests similar to Sun, Chen expanded upon Sun’s future vision of what Web3 is and what it could become.

Sun expanded on key tools to help create a more seamless Web3 experience, such as digital wallets, revenue and reward tools, and more efficient logistics and supply chain operations. Sun proceeded to discuss the unique utility and tools that stablecoins can provide and how Trust Wallet, MasterCard, and TRON can work together on improving the user experience of payment protocols.

Chen elaborated on the glaring difference between Web2 and Web3 by using Apple Music as an example of how many barriers to transferability and ownership exist in the current marketplace. Lambert followed up by discussing how tooling in Web3 can help current Web2 businesses to scale more efficiently by conducting the right amount of UX research. User optimization is essential and must be done correctly for mass adoption to allow companies to scale.

Mass adoption was a consistent talking point, and the panelists had varying opinions. Sun’s main topics focused on education and creating digestible content for users. Your Web3 experience is similar to your “gaming experience,” this is critical when addressing “ways to help mainstream crypto adoption.”

Chen led her response with this statement and concluded that the best way to educate users is by utilizing social media and a proper UX needs to be established by product designers to make them frictionless. Lambert focused on how security is vital for mass adoption to occur so that users aren’t “looking over their shoulder” as they navigate the Web3 space. Sun later responded with how important it is to be wary of scammers that will come about and addressed the concept of protocols and major institutions to help fight against this by filtering out scammers and verifying real users by implementing Know-Your-Customer policies.

The panel also discussed the aspect of security and safety as an essential part of Web3, maybe even the most significant. Helping create a chain agnostic ecosystem can help bring vibrant projects with fewer barriers of entry for them to succeed, which offers more users that these projects can attract. Another key theme echoed was the importance of regulations.

Making sure governments regulate the crypto space properly can help speed up the growth of blockchain technology. To assure protection in an anonymous digital environment, users can utilize frictionless and easy-to-use payment protocols that won’t allow them to connect their crypto wallets on non-verifiable NFTs or marketplaces. Lambert continued the discussion on security by inspiring developers to find pragmatic solutions.

Sun alluded to UI/UX being important for protocols to adopt to continue with efforts toward creating a more secure ecosystem. Sun also conveyed the importance of adopting other infrastructure platforms like Etherscan to help validate transactions properly. Chen focuses on working with large layer-1 blockchains like Binance to help with creating proper compliance and by using Artificial Intelligence to audit smart contracts properly. She suggested a civil society political theory and believes blockchain ecosystems will similarly become more educated and “civilized” organically, allowing fewer scammers to be successful and much more infrastructure to be feasible.

Lastly, the panel members talked about the current situation with Web3 and what projects are leading the space. Sun brought up the diverse qualities that different types of projects can bring and led with finance-based protocols followed by DAOs, GameFi, NFTs, and educational platforms which have paved the way for the current landscape of Web3. Lambert mentioned that “commerce makes the world go round,” It is imperative to create verification protocols that allow safe and verifiable physical transfers from user to user.

Chen agreed with this concept and added that the industry must establish a specific level of trust for these transactions to occur. Sun agreed with the other panelists and added that institutions must hire the right people who understand the heart of this issue, establish this level of trust for users, and communicate educational content properly.

He finished on how the crypto community is becoming much more mature, and you can see that happening with how crypto users and fans are starting to dress a bit more professionally.

The panelists agree with pushing toward privacy, security, and more robust verification methods that will allow users to feel safe with their money and identity. Sun concluded his panel discussion on the exponential adoption of crypto due to its decentralization and utilization and how Web3 must continue to stay decentralized to reach its full potential.

Changelly DeFi Swap gets a boost from Yet Another Defi

/////

Throughout seven years of operating on the market, Changelly has been well-known as an aggregator of centralized exchanges (CEX). The list of our CEX partners includes OKX, Kucoin, FTX, Huobi and many others. Such a variety of liquidity sources makes it possible for us to find the best offers among centralized exchanges and provide better rates to our users. 

As so-called decentralized finance (DeFi) applications boomed in the summer of 2020, the market has pivoted toward a new direction. DeFi makes financial products and services available to everyone who has access to the internet.

Moreover, it helps eliminate third-party involvement in people’s businesses and private lives by creating fully secure and anonymous financial services. Next, DeFi empowers users to truly own their funds and utilize various tools to lend, borrow, stake, earn interest and more. 

We are thrilled to announce that we are taking the first step toward introducing DeFi possibilities to our users with Changelly DeFi Swap powered by Yet Another DeFi.

Yet Another DeFi is a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator that encompasses all the advantages of DeFi and optimizes transaction costs. The Smart Router by YAD finds the best way for a swap among different liquidity providers and suggests the most beneficial split to proceed with the transaction.

What does this integration mean to our users?

  • 1,000+ available tokens
  • Best rates via DeFi
  • Lower transaction costs compared to industry leaders.

At present, any user can swap various Ethereum-based assets with just a few clicks. However, many more chains will become available in the near future, including BNB Chain, Solana, Fantom, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Tron and others.

The Changelly team is committed to the goal of becoming the leading CEX and DEX aggregator on the market. We believe our seven-year experience of working with CEXs combined with limitless opportunities of DEXs will make it possible to provide even better rates and lower fees to our users. With the integration of DEXs, we get one step closer to enabling seamless anything-to-anything swaps, regardless of blockchain, wallet connector, etc.

Ex-US Secretary of Treasury to speak at upcoming AIM Summit in Dubai

/////

Lawrence Summers, the renowned American economist who served as the 71st United States Secretary of Treasury from 1999 to 2001 under Bill Clinton, as well as the director of the National Economic Council from 2009 to 2010 under Barack Obama, will be offering his insights into the global economy and financial markets during the 13th edition of AIM Summit being held on Nov. 21 and 22, 2022 in Dubai.

AIM Summit is the region’s leading forum for providing insights on investment developments and global market conditions. This year, special emphasis is placed on the current global economy, inflation, stagflation and recession. Summers will provide his views on why the U.S. will likely be headed into a recession within the next two years, then he’ll discuss how globalization, trade and technology will play a pivotal role in the future of the global economy. Summers will also be sharing his views on crypto and blockchain.

As the leading voice in the national debate on inflation, Summers repeatedly called out the potential for inflation in the U.S. in 2001, while the U.S. Federal Reserve and many economists viewed rising prices as transitory.

Commenting on his participation at AIM Summit, Summers stated, “Investors in alternative assets must navigate a challenging macroeconomic environment today and anticipate how it will impact their portfolios tomorrow. At the AIM Summit in Dubai, I will address some of the most pressing questions investors should be asking: Will the Fed’s newfound hawkishness lead to a painful recession, or will they engineer a soft landing? Will we return to the post-2009 era of secular stagnation, or a new paradigm? Will prognostications of China’s economy overtaking America’s prove similar to those of Russia and Japan, which look ridiculous today?”

Raha Moradi, CEO of AIM Summit, stated:

“We are honored as organizers of AIM Summit to be welcoming a well-renowned economist and top U.S. official such as Lawrence Summers. His views on the U.S. and global inflation, recession, and world policies will offer our audience valuable information that will benefit their policies and strategies moving forward. Investors and policy makers alike across the GCC and MENA region are invited to join us as we hear Summers’ predictive insights.”

The AIM Summit gathers and connects global industry leaders with investors in hedge funds, private equity firms, venture capital organizations, digital assets and fintech. This year, the summit will cover topics pertaining to portfolio construction, emerging markets, frontier markets, private credit, hedge funds, the future of digital assets, NFTs, the Metaverse, crypto mining, ESG, impact investing and Web 3.

Registration for the event is open now, while those interested in sponsorship and speaking opportunities can send an email.

About AIM Summit

AIM Summit began over seven years ago with a mission of connecting people, connecting ideas and connecting markets in alternative investments. AIM Summit is the leading alternative investment management summit covering hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, digital assets and private debt, gathering the best minds in the alternative investment industry with the largest allocators.

CropBytes continues impressive user growth despite bear market

/////

CropBytes is a farming business game built in a real-world economy, with digital game assets and real markets. Building for over four years and improvising the game over multiple market cycles have resulted in over 650,000 signups with an average of 9,000–12,000 daily active users.

The game is available on iOS, Android and web application with an average rating of 4.3 in app stores. CropBytes hosts one of the oldest crypto gaming communities that’s spread over 16 regional groups, each of which is managed and moderated by players.

Focus on fungibility and sustainable economics 

The decision to move away from nonfungible token (NFT)-only assets to fungible assets was made by the team in the last bear market of 2019 and has helped in maintaining liquidity in all game asset markets, thereby benefiting players over the long run. The focus has always been on the sustainability of the game economy. CropBytes is the first contributor to Tegronomics, which is an open-source framework that is being adopted by many crypto games. 

CBX is the currency of the CropBytes metaverse, which is a cryptocurrency on the Ethereum blockchain. CBX follows a deflationary supply protocol similar to that of Bitcoin (BTC), and players can mine CBX by conducting daily farming activities. 

Asset mining, the most awaited feature release

CropBytes’ assets are highly sought after, limited in supply and backed by the economics of fungibility. This has led to game asset value growing over 100x since they were first released. With the recent launch of asset mining, players are able to generate a new supply of these game assets. With the launch, other items like extracts and utilities in the game produced by farmers have found more use cases. 

On average, 1 million assets are traded on the in-game exchange daily, and the numbers are growing with the release of asset mining, as there is now a new use case for related assets. 

Fun gameplay and sustainable economics will always be at the heart of CropBytes. The team has lined up some exciting and much-awaited feature releases for 2022. 

CBX Mining v2: A new method of CBX mining will be introduced with new logic. With the new method, users will also have a chance to receive a bonus for mining. The changes planned here will result in a higher burn rate for extracts and utilities. Farmers will be able to craft various items using their extracts, which will be used to mine CBX. Power will also have extra utilities for CBX mining. 

Tokenization of assets: CropBytes’ assets will soon be launched on the Polygon blockchain. Users will be able to track live mining data in the game, which will also open up doors to the entire gaming community on Polygon. 

Gaming jobs in the CropBytes metaverse: CropBytes is spearheading the next evolution in Web3 gaming. By developing a service economy model, CropBytes is making play-to-earn sustainable. The service economy will make CropBytes a free-to-play-and-earn game. 

“The concept of a service economy can be applied to all aspects of life, not just video games. The general idea is that those with money will want to pay others to do things for them that they don’t have time for. In CropBytes’ context, this could be something as small as paying someone to grow crops or feed animals. In the world of video games, it’s not uncommon for players who are loaded with in-game cash to outsource some of their playtime to others who might have more time on their hands.”

“Before the end of this year, the first-ever service economy feature in Web3 games will go live in CropBytes.”

Read more about the service economy model here: https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/35157 

Raising Series A and previous rounds 

CropBytes is now raising capital as a part of its Series A round. The funds gathered will be utilized toward improving the game experience and adding more layers to the economy that will make it easier to play and earn sustainably in the game. 

In November 2021, CropBytes raised $2.67 million in a pre-sale seed round for its CBX token. It is also backed by crypto industry entrepreneurs, including Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon; Siddharth Menon, founder of Tegro; as well as VC firms Draper Dragon, Exnetwork Capital and Master Ventures.

Visit CropBytes’ official website along with the white paper and its Telegram and Twitter channels for more information and regular updates. There’s a lot coming in CropBytes, so make sure to add CBX to your watchlist on CoinMarketCap.

The theme of SFF 2022 is “Building resilient business models amid volatility and change.” With the global economy experiencing a surge in inflation and facing risks of a significant slowdown in growth, many fintech firms are striving to stay resilient and viable.

Key stakeholders comprising government leaders, regulators, financial services leaders, entrepreneurs, investors and technology leaders will take stock of the drivers of change and examine three key questions: 

● Viable: How are organizations building and redefining business models that can be more resilient to volatile market conditions? 

● Responsible: How are organizations balancing corporate responsibility and profitability in order to achieve greater stakeholder satisfaction and engagement? 

● Inclusive: How are organizations designing inclusive business models that cater to the needs of the unbanked and underbanked? 

Conference 

The conference segment of SFF 2022 will comprise a series of global and knowledge plenary sessions, and an Elevandi insights forum: 

● Global Plenary sessions will focus on leaders and organizations addressing the core construct of resilient business models.

● Knowledge Plenary sessions will feature breakout sessions on Web3 and payments; environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria; banking for businesses; insurance and pensions; international growth markets; and fintech regulation. 

● The Elevandi Insights Forum will consist of small, deep-dive roundtables which bring the public and private sector together to address challenges faced by the financial sector and identify actionable outcomes. 

Exhibition 

SFF 2022 will see the return of a physical exhibition featuring over 500 leading organizations, including fintech firms, financial institutions, technology firms and policymakers, showcasing their latest innovations and developments in the fintech space. 

The exhibition will include free-to-access Ecosystem Stages for attendees to get up close with the newest technologies, products and launches from industry players. The Ecosystem Stages will feature product announcements and product showcases from exhibitors, a specially curated ESG Impact Zone, country and sector deep-dives in the World Fintech Festival and finalists’ showcases from the MAS Global Fintech Hackcelerator and Polyfintech100 API Hackathon.

Other Highlights 

Debuting at SFF is the Elevandi Global Founders Network, an exclusive global influencer program that identifies exceptional founders on an annual basis who are building sustainable and resilient businesses with a positive impact in the world. The global founders will be chosen through a nomination process, honored at the SFF and will share their 10-minute insights at the Founders’ Peak. 

Participants can also look forward to the winners’ showcase at the SFF Global Fintech Awards and curated networking sessions including an investors’ summit powered by Elevandi Connects. 

Sopnendu Mohanty, chief fintech officer at MAS and chairman of the board at Elevandi, said: “As the leading global knowledge platform for fintech, SFF 2022 will focus on bringing best-in-class experts to share industry insights to build business models that remain viable and resilient amid the crisis. The format this year has been enhanced to add numerous intimate and interactive sessions, to foster deeper discussion between the public and private sector stakeholders. The return of an in-person SFF will energize all stakeholders in the fintech community to stay strong and purposeful despite the strong headwinds ahead of us.” 

Jean-François Quentin, group CEO Constellar, said: “We are delighted to bring the global fintech community together in Singapore, home to world-class events including SFF. The SFF community is a special one that has continued to connect and collaborate on our hybrid event platforms over the past two years. With live events back in full capacity, the return of SFF in-person will enable personalized and immersive event experiences to catalyze new innovations, strengthen networks and build impactful partnerships.”


Planetarium Labs announces mint date for NFT project of Nine Chronicles

/////

Singapore, September. 12, 2022 — The world’s first open-source, fully decentralized role-playing game, Nine Chronicles, developed by Planetarium Labs, has launched a new nonfungible token (NFT) project, Decentralized Cat (D:CC). The minting of the profile pictures (PFPs) will be on September 21st. The NFT project unlocks exclusive features to owners, including rewards, benefits, special in-game items and an invitation to alter their identity within the Nine Chronicles multiverse. 

Nine Chronicles is a fully decentralized RPG powered by the players, based on Norse mythology, and the first game to be developed by Planetarium’s serverless Libplanet network library. After receiving funding from industry leaders, such as Animoca Brands, Nine Chronicles is ready to expand its products to support the players and the community further.

The art is produced by Sangmi Seon, Art Director and NFT project Creative Director of Nine Chronicles with over 11 years of experience leading art direction for Asia’s top game companies. The newly revealed NFTs are garnering attention thanks to the exceptional quality of the art. 

With extreme detailing, the PFPs tie in with the theme of the cat character in Nine Chronicles and their new concept of the D:CC. The story centers around a secretive religion serving the character of Cosmic Cat God the Great, who decentralized itself and sent avatars to the Nine Chronicles universe. Owning a D:CC-issued PFP will welcome you into a clandestine society with the eternal blessings from the Cat.

The D:CC NFT collection will have a total supply of 4,000 unique NFTs, 2,800 of which will go to users who have been accepted into the Pionyan Program by Nine Chronicles, with 200 to be allocated for the internal team. 

The first and second presales will be done with Wrapped Nine Chronicles Gold (WNCG).

WNCG is a 1:1 NCG-backed ERC-20 token that offers the power of NCG with the flexibility of an ERC-20 token. WNCG is available on various exchanges, such as OKX, KuCoin, MEXC Global, Balancer, SushiSwap and Bitfinex.

The Pionyan Program allows users who hold a minimum of 1,000 WNCG in their wallets to go directly into the Allowlist for the mint. The first presale will enable users from the Allowlist to mint one NFT each for 999 WNCG. The second presale will include users from the Pionyan Program who are in both the Allowlist and Waitlist to mint the NFT competitively. The raffle for the Pionyan Program begins on September 17, with the raffle winners being announced on September 19. 

The mint for D:CC begins on September 21, with the winners from the raffle given priority to the mint before it opens to the public.

The PFP is not just a regular profile picture — it will allow users to have access to additional and exclusive cryptocurrencies, vote on future collaborations and more in the expansive Nine Chronicles world. 

Planetarium Labs launching its own NFT collection is only one of many future steps it is taking to constantly grow its economy.

Content focused Web3 project Contentos expands into Europe and plans to issue ‘Soulbound’ tokens for certified creators

/////

Paris, France, 14th September, 2022, Chainwire


Contentos, a content-focused Web3 project with more than a million active creators, will be participating in Binance Blockchain Week Paris 2022. Optimistic about Europe’s high acceptance of NFTs and blockchain applications, Contentos plans to expand into the European market.

In addition to this news, Contentos Foundation Co-Founder & CEO, Mick Tsai revealed that in the near future, certified creators will be able to issue ‘Soulbound Tokens’ on the Contentos Mainnet and on COS.TV, Web3 video distribution and digital assets management platform, to provide an extensive Web3 experience for content creators.

Invested by Binance Labs, Contentos Foundation focuses on building the infrastructure of the Web3 content economy via COS.TV, which has a huge community of creators and users from Latin America and Southeast Asia, and has strategic partners such as Dailymotion, a well-known French video-sharing technology platform. 

COS.TV has also recently partnered with Binance Connect, enabling the purchase of COS tokens using fiat such as Euros within the platform using credit cards, simplifying the fiat-crypto conversion process and making it easier for fans to support their favourite creators.

Before the NFT and Metaverse craze, Contentos Foundation focused on building an extensive digital collectibles environment for its pioneering creator community by supporting DeFi. In 2021, plans for the COS.SPACE Metaverse was announced, and privileges were granted to Contentos ecosystem builders, with holders enjoying privileges such as exclusive NFT collections, and the ability to use COS.TV NFT Profile Pictures, VEST lending and pledge rewards, and COS.SPACE mining rights.

Mick expressed: “As Instagram’s digital collectible display function gradually extends to the public, we are witnessing the rise of decentralisation as individuals are no longer bound by centralised platforms. Regardless of the platform or game, an established identity, along with its assets, is free to be transferred and verified in Web3.”

Following this trend, COS.TV has developed functions to display digital collections on personal accounts, paid Pay-per-View subscriptions for exclusive audio and video using crypto, one-stop NFT creation and publication on OpenSea for video and audio content, and content creator gifting functions.

Contentos Foundation Vice President of Marketing, Ava Wen, further mentioned “Europe leads the world in diversity and inclusivity, and these characteristics are the core of decentralisation. Contentos looks forward to collaborating with creators who are as passionate about the Web3 content economy as we are.”

About Contentos 

The vision of Contentos is to build a decentralized digital content community that allows content to be freely produced, distributed, rewarded and traded, while protecting author rights. Contentos strives to incentivize content creation and global diversity and return the rights and value of content to users. A decentralized video platform, COS.TV is built on top of the Contentos mainnet, which now serves over 1 million global users monthly around the world. Creators can earn not just block rewards with their videos but can also receive direct support from fans via watching ads or sending Gifting Votes. These revenue models generate profit for creators and the COS.TV platforms are just like ads on YouTube today. In 2022, Contentos released a roadmap to build a metaverse around content creation and consumption. Starting with COS.SPACE “virtual real estate”, Contentos’ metaverse will be a place where COS.TV users can create their virtual home experience.

TRX is available to send, receive, buy, sell, swap, and earn rewards in the Blockchain.com Wallet and to deposit, trade, and withdraw on the Blockchain.com Exchange, making TRX more accessible for people to use worldwide. With this addition, Blockchain.com is striving to grow the Web3 landscape by attracting more notable layer-1 public blockchains.

Blockchain.com is one of the original cryptocurrency companies that began as the first Bitcoin blockchain explorer in 2011 and later created a cryptocurrency wallet and exchange. In addition to its consumer offerings, they provide a one-stop shop for institutional clients that includes OTC trading, custody, and lending capabilities. With its robust balance sheet, technology, and market expertise, they partner with institutional clients to create bespoke solutions tailored to specific objectives. The oldest crypto platform has a track record of helping increase liquidity for newly listed tokens as it becomes available to millions of users.

Over 37 million verified users worldwide and 84 million wallet holders use Blockchain.com products, opening up exposure to TRX among a large community of users. There are millions of dollars worth of volume each day on the platform and multiple different features, including Rewards Accounts where users who hold their TRX with Blockchain.com will be able to earn up to 8% in annual rewards.

TRX is a TRC-20 utility token that enables the authority of the TRON protocol and its dApp ecosystem. TRON strives to become a framework for the decentralized web. By providing users with fast and low-cost transactions, its network is optimized for speed and scalability. As the mainnet native token of TRON, TRX is used to power smart contracts, pay transaction fees, and serve as a unit of account across the TRON ecosystem.

The listing of TRX on Blockchain.com and on other major platforms has been a common theme for TRON DAO throughout the year. Staking rewards, enhanced liquidity, and widened user reach have all helped expand the TRON ecosystem into becoming much more mainstream.

The efficient delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism and its wide range of utilities for business and developers to build on its network have helped TRON become one of the largest public chains in the world, with 2,000 TPS, over 110 million accounts, and more than 3.8 billion transactions. This latest listing makes TRX more attainable for the public to utilize on TRON dApps to further grow the ecosystem.

About TRON DAO

TRON is dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps). Founded in September 2017 by H.E. Justin Sun, the TRON network has continued to deliver impressive achievements since MainNet launch in May 2018. July 2018 also marked the ecosystem integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services boasting over 100 million monthly active users.

The TRON network has gained incredible traction in recent years. As of August 2022, it has over 110 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 3.8 billion total transactions, and over $13.2 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN. In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin across the globe, overtaking USDT on Ethereum since April 2021.

The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed DAO. Most recently, the over-collateralized decentralized stablecoin USDD was launched on the TRON blockchain, backed by the first-ever crypto reserve for the blockchain industry – TRON DAO Reserve, marking TRON’s official entry into decentralized stablecoins.
