Midnight Evergreen Technologies, Inc. (Midnight) dares to reimagine the role of an AA game publisher, with a mission to fundamentally reshape how we play together. Midnight is building The Evergreen, the first (of-its-kind) publishing platform designed as a deconstructed, composable MMORPG, delivering immersive, cross-genre experiences that seamlessly span across various platforms, pushing the boundaries of how games are played and enjoyed.

The Evergreen fuses enduring player progression with constantly evolving gameplay, creating an interconnected arcade of games that offer the reach, engagement, and monetization of a traditional MMO—without the risks of a single theme, game narrative, or prolonged production cycles.

Midnight proudly announces the launch of the first of its 26 planned core games in this Deconstructed MMO: The Evergreen: Midnight Market. Set to release on Web, Mobile, and Telegram, and built in partnership with Aptos Foundation, Midnight Market is a daring game of risk and reward where every spin teeters between fortune and mischief. Combining the thrill of crypto gaming with the reliability and scalability of Aptos’ Layer 1 blockchain, Midnight Market sets a new standard for decentralized gaming.

Players will find themselves in a high-stakes world of chance, crafting items, earning tokens, and navigating encounters with the elusive Night Pig. How far will you push your luck in pursuit of the ultimate prize?

“Our partnership with Aptos Foundation marks a significant tipping point,” said Steve Wade, Founder & CEO of Midnight. “Aptos’ innovative Web3 infrastructure aligns perfectly with our strategy to focus on player participation in the ecosystems they engage with. Specifically, we’ve solved for interoperability between games, and Aptos makes that solution a reality.” Wade further explained, “We believe in the creator economy and see Web3 as the next logical step—empowering individuals and communities to shape the ecosystems they interact with. With Aptos, we envision a world where players’ stories matter and endure long after the game is over.”

Key Features of The Evergreen: Midnight Market

• Engaging, Unpredictable Gameplay: Players experience unpredictable rewards or unexpected encounters, with every spin holding the potential for either fortune or a surprise interaction with the Night Pig. This element of suspense enhances the gameplay experience with an entertaining, high-stakes twist.
• Decisive Risk-Reward Mechanics: With each turn, players must choose between pushing their luck for higher rewards or banking their earnings. This gameplay design adds strategic depth, enhancing engagement through meaningful player choices.
• Aptos Powered Player Economy: Midnight Market features a blockchain-powered economy, enabling players to craft items known as Keys and earn tickets that can be redeemed for the native ecosystem token or other exclusive merchandise. This player-driven system ensures that every reward has tangible value, heightening the stakes and making the game’s risk-reward mechanics even more impactful.

The game is the first major title to utilize the Aptos high-throughput blockchain, which boasts low latency and high transaction speeds, creating a seamless gaming environment for thousands of players worldwide.

“Powered by the speed and security of the Aptos blockchain, we’re excited to see Midnight’s ambitious vision for The Evergreen brought to life,” said Bashar Lazaar, Head of Grants and Ecosystem at Aptos Foundation. “Players can expect an immersive, genre-spanning experience where every move shapes their unique journey, and the time they spend leaves lasting echoes within the game’s universe and control over the assets they acquire. This isn’t just a step into the future of Web3 gaming—it’s a bold leap forward, placing players at the heart of a dynamic ecosystem, where every moment they choose to spend has a meaningful impact on the worlds they explore”.

The Evergreen: Midnight Market is in closed beta now and available to players globally November 13th. For more information visit Midnight.io and join our discord .

This acquisition will enhance the governance features for all existing and forthcoming web3 communication platforms built on the River Protocol.

River, the first-of-its-kind protocol for securing communication for end users, today announced its acquisition of Llama, a protocol designed for decentralized governance. Llama’s technology will be integrated into River to further enhance its offerings for users. Earlier this month, Towns, an end-to-end encrypted on-chain communications platform, launched on River, cementing it as River’s largest project to date with 125 thousand unique users onboarded and 81 thousand Towns created. The acquisition will benefit all existing and forthcoming platforms built on the protocol, including more robust governance tools for DAOs and expanding their use cases.

The protocol is focused on expanding its technical capabilities and shaping the future of web3 communications. The integration will enhance River’s token governance capabilities and provide built-in governance contracts for users creating spaces within the platform. Additionally, Towns will benefit from a new tech stack, allowing users to build customizable governance systems.

“The acquisition of Llama aligns perfectly with our vision at River to offer more decentralized governance and customization for our users,” said Patrick Fives, Chief Protocol Officer and Co-founder of the River Protocol. “Our goal is to build the future of communication, and this integration will streamline decision-making, creating more accessible and efficient on-chain governance.”

Llama’s governance system is powered by open-source smart contracts, providing flexibility and customization for users. It allows DAOs to define specific roles and permissions for executing on-chain transactions, or “actions,” such as protocol upgrades, fund transfers, parameter adjustments, and emergency pauses. By allowing users to determine who can propose, approve, or execute these actions, Llama incorporates robust checks and balances through advanced permissioning strategies. This granular control is important for securely managing complex operations and adapting to changing requirements.

“The River team has been at the forefront of on-chain governance innovation from the start, quickly adopting advanced features like multi-token voting and multi-chain governance,” said Austin Green and Shreyas Hariharan, co-founders of Llama. “Their integration of these tools has set a new standard for decentralized communication platforms, and we’re excited to see how they’ll continue using our technology to create even more customizable and powerful governance solutions for their users.”

In 2023, Llama raised a $6 million seed round led by Founders Fund and Electric Capital and notable investors including Elad Gil, Sandeep Nailwal (Polygon), and Stani Kulechov (Aave).

About River

River is the first-of-its-kind protocol for securing communication for end users. It unlocks the same experience you would expect from web2 communication platforms, while providing the security of web3. The River Protocol is an EVM-compatible L2 chain, leveraging decentralized off-chain stream nodes and smart contracts that are deployed on Base, to build programmable communication tools in a permissionless manner. River’s utility token, RVR, is delegated to Node Operators to help secure the platform. Launched in May 2024, River’s clients include Propeller.chat and Towns, the a16z-backed on-chain communications platform that launched in October 2024.

About Llama

Llama is a fullstack platform for onchain access control and governance. The Llama protocol is designed for decentralized governance, consisting of open-source, fully deployed smart contracts that offer a comprehensive on-chain governance system with flexible requirements. The platform allows clients to securely take action using onchain policies and custom execution strategies. In 2023, Llama raised a $6 million seed round led by Founders Fund and Electric Capital and notable investors including Elad Gil, Sandeep Nailwal (Polygon), and Stani Kulechov (Aave).

SingularityDAO has concluded a community vote to determine its proposed merger with Cogito Finance and SelfKey. SDAO holders voted overwhelmingly in favour of the merger, enabling SingularityDAO to press ahead with plans to form Singularity Finance, an EVM Layer 2 for tokenising the AI economy.

The proposal to merge with Cogito Finance and SelfKey and combine technologies to create Singularity Finance was put to SDAO holders via Snapshot, the popular governance framework. More than 15M SDAO were used in the voting process with 94.78% of the tokens utilised approving the merger.

SingularityDAO Co-Founder Mario Casiraghi said: “We’re grateful to all SDAO holders for participating in this pivotal governance vote and having their say on the future of SingularityDAO. With their approval, we will now move ahead with the proposal to create Singularity Finance as an L2 that combines the best elements of SingularityDAO with those of our partners SelfKey and Cogito Finance to accelerate DeFi and AI innovation.”

Following the governance vote, SingularityDAO is poised to proceed with the merger pending an imminent community vote on behalf of KEY holders that will determine SelfKey’s position. The creation of Singularity Finance would enable the three projects to align to develop solutions across all stages of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) value chain.

Singularity Finance has been conceived with the goal of supporting an array of AI-driven financial services including RWA tokenisation and onchain identity management. Through positioning itself as a leader in the rapidly growing AI economy, the Layer 2 will attract developers and users seeking to gain exposure to the new use cases and assets the industry supports.

Cloris Chen, CEO of Cogito Finance, shared in a quote: “The overwhelming community support for the SFI merger is a powerful testament to the shared vision we have for the future of finance. By combining our expertise and technologies, we are poised to unlock unprecedented opportunities at the intersection of AI and DeFi. Singularity Finance will be a leading force in driving innovation and accessibility in this dynamic landscape, empowering individuals and institutions alike.”

The existing AI-powered portfolio management services SingularityDAO currently provides will be enhanced by the incorporation of compliance and RWA tokenisation solutions courtesy of SelfKey and Cogito Finance respectively. This will include financial tools that enhance and automate analysis, portfolio, and risk management leveraging SingularityDAO’s AI-driven DynaVaults and other technologies.

The proposed merger will see a leadership council for Singularity Finance established to oversee operations of the newly merged financial ecosystem. The council will be led by Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET and the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance; Cloris Chen, CEO of Cogito Finance; and Mario Casiraghi, CFO of SingularityNET and Co-Founder of SingularityDAO.

Cloudbet sportsbook data shows Trump still crypto favorite; Harris probability dips to record lows.

With just a few days left until the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, the crypto betting market and traditional polls continue to diverge on the race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Cloudbet, a leading crypto betting platform, reports Trump’s odds at 1.56, indicating crypto money is piling into what many believe is an all but certain second term for Trump.

As final polls rolled in over the pre-election weekend, Harris seemed to be holding on in several crucial “blue wall” states. The notable exception was Pennsylvania, with CNN polling showing the candidates tied at 48%. “Given only the polls, there is no way the odds would have moved this far to Trump,” a Cloudbet spokesperson said. “I’m not saying there’s not a high chance he’ll win, but it’s hard to imagine a lot of crypto bettors aren’t betting on their personal hopes here.”

On election day in 2020, Cloudbet reported that 84% of bets placed favored Trump. “It was so one-sided the oddsmakers were double and triple-checking everything coming in,” said the spokesperson. “They couldn’t believe how few people were backing Biden to win.”

In 2024, Cloudbet believes the added weight of a “crypto voter” voting block may be a contributing factor to the bullishness on Trump, who has repeatedly weighed in with pro-crypto talking points. Cloudbet’s odds for Trump imply a 64.1% chance of him winning the election, with Harris’ odds sometimes dipping below a 40% chance of victory. 

Cloudbet users have also been bullish in state-by-state bets for Trump, moving implied probability close to 80% in North Carolina and to almost 60% in Wisconsin (as of October 31, 2024):

• Arizona: Trump to win at 78.13%
• Florida: Trump to win at 97.09%
• Georgia: Trump to win at 74.07%
• Michigan: Harris to win at 58.14%
• Nevada: Trump to win at 68.03%
• North Carolina: Trump to win at 75.19%
• Pennsylvania: Trump to win at 60.24%
• Wisconsin: Trump to win at 58.82%

Odds, of course, may tighten. The final days of the campaign have been marked by high-profile endorsements and controversies. Puerto Rican reggaeton star Nicky Jam withdrew his support for Trump after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s disparaging remarks about Puerto Rico at a rally. Meanwhile, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger announced his endorsement of Harris, joining a growing list of Republicans crossing party lines.

Per Cloudbet, this all adds up to a wild ride for bettors: “It’s going to be a wild last few days here. Crypto bettors often jump in at the final hour, and we expect a ton of people to be looking at the moving odds on our politics page right up until polls close.”

About Cloudbet

Founded in 2013, Cloudbet is the longest-running crypto-betting platform in the world. It has processed millions of bets across its sportsbook and casino platforms, serving hundreds of thousands of users globally. As a licensed operator, Cloudbet maintains institutional-grade custody solutions and a decade-long track record of zero security breaches.

Players can bet using 35+ cryptocurrencies, from Bitcoin and Ethereum to stablecoins and emerging altcoins. Available in 18 languages, Cloudbet features live sports betting across major leagues, esports, and 3,000+ casino games from premier providers.

Chorus One, a leading provider of staking infrastructure for over 60 networks, today announced the launch of TON Pool, a new staking solution designed to simplify and optimize Toncoin staking for institutions and investors. With a focus on addressing the limitations of current staking models on the TON blockchain, TON Pool offers a flexible, cost-effective, and scalable staking solution that meets the needs of custodians, exchanges, wallets, and institutional investors.

A solution to Toncoin’s current staking limitations

The TON blockchain is gaining traction as a powerful platform for decentralized applications, but existing Toncoin staking mechanisms—such as the Nominator Pool and Single Nominator contracts—present significant limitations for institutional players.

According to the team, high minimum staking requirements, limited delegator capacity, and the operational complexity of managing multiple pools are key challenges that prevent large institutions from efficiently staking Toncoin at scale.

Currently, they add, the Single Nominator contract requires a minimum of 300,000 TON, limiting accessibility for many institutions. Moreover, both staking models restrict the number of delegators and require manual management, resulting in higher transaction fees and reduced yields due to complex pool monitoring.

Recognizing these limitations, Chorus One developed TON Pool, a solution specifically tailored for large-scale staking operations that eliminates inefficiencies and provides a more seamless staking experience.

Key benefits of TON Pool

• Optimized potential yields: By consolidating stakes and reducing transaction fees, TON Pool can maximize potential yields for institutions and their clients.
• Unlimited delegators: Unlike traditional staking models that limit delegator capacity, TON Pool allows institutions to stake on behalf of an unlimited number of clients.
• Low minimum stake: With a minimum of just 10 TON (vs. 300,000 TON in other models), TON Pool makes staking accessible to a broader range of users.
• Effortless integration: Institutions can easily integrate TON Pool into their platforms, simplifying staking management and improving user experience.

A simpler staking flow with TON Pool

Compared to traditional staking models, TON Pool offers a much more streamlined staking process. Instead of requiring operators to create and manage multiple pools, TON Pool consolidates all staking into a single address. Customers delegate once, pay one transaction fee, and the platform handles all the technical complexities of distributing and managing the stake.

“TON Pool is our response to the challenges institutions face when staking on the TON blockchain,” said Brian Fabian Crain, CEO of Chorus One. “We built this solution to remove unnecessary steps, lower costs, and provide a scalable option for institutions that require a higher degree of flexibility. TON Pool makes staking more accessible, which we believe is essential to driving the TON ecosystem forward.”

How to contact

For more details about TON Pool and to get exclusive discounted commission rates, users can reach out at staking@chorus.one, and sign up now to be among the first to experience streamlined, scalable Toncoin staking.

Chorus One is a leading institutional staking provider, operating infrastructure for over 60 networks, including Ethereum, Cosmos, Solana, Avalanche, Near, and others.

Mawari Network, a spatial computing DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network), has announced a limited node license sale. Already a pioneer in immersive content, the node sale will make Mawari’s 3D streaming technology more scalable and accessible for content creators and developers. This node sale will help create a global, decentralized spatial computing infrastructure as the market for extended reality devices like the Apple Vision Pro, Meta Orion, and Meta Quest 3 is projected to reach more than 100 million units in the next five years. As demand for immersive experiences grows, Mawari is building a network that can grow with it. 

Mawari’s infrastructure is optimized for the demanding needs of immersive experiences, positioning Mawari as a key actor in the emerging multibillion-dollar spatial computing market. Called “a sleeping lion” by Samsung Next, Mawari is redefining and building the future of spatial computing. Its solution comprises the Spatial Streaming SDK and the Mawari Network. The SDK, supporting the Unity and Unreal engines, empowers developers to create seamless, immersive experiences. The Mawari Network, working in parallel, leverages a globally distributed network of GPU nodes to ensure low latency and optimal performance. The node license sale’s objective is to help scale the network, optimize its global performance, and ensure its resiliency.

“This node sale allows node operators to help bring 3D content to the world, and be rewarded for their efforts,” Luis Oscar Ramirez, Mawari’s Founder & CEO said. “The current cloud services didn’t allow us to scale our proprietary spatial streaming technology, we researched ways to scale immersive content and found DePIN was clearly the best option. Now, we can allow our global community of node operators to participate in building out our critical node network alongside our community of developers and content creators.”

Mawari has worked with industry leaders, such as Deutsche Telekom, KDDI, Telefonica, Magic Leap, Netflix, Qualcomm, T-Mobile and dozens of other clients. The Solana Foundation recently selected Mawari for a grant, endorsing its roadmap for decentralized spatial computing. Backed by investors including Anfield LTD, Borderless Capital, 1k(x), and Samsung Next, and with veteran DePIN and web3 operator, Sean Carey, a co-founder of Helium, also joining its board, Mawari is the clear category leader. 

Node Sale Details

The node sale is scheduled for Q4 2024, building out the Mawari Network’s ability to perform compute-intensive tasks and efficiently deliver immersive 3D content on a global scale. The Mawari Network will be leveraging specialized GPUs around the world for advanced computation and streaming tasks, but a set of Guardian Nodes are needed to verify their work and the performance of the network overall as it serves multiple simultaneous immersive experiences. The node sale is for licenses to operate these critical Guardian Nodes.

More specifically, Guardian Nodes’ responsibilities include assessing critical performance indicators like latency, bandwidth, and content quality to maintain the high standards necessary for immersive, real-time experiences. By monitoring the Mawari network, the community-run Guardian Nodes will make it more performant and more resilient, ensuring it can scale securely as it grows.

Details of the node license sale will be announced soon.
