The Ambition of MEET48’s AI-UGC Ecosystem: AI-LLM and Web5 Architecture

Singapore, Singapore, September 16th, 2024, Chainwire

MEET48 is on the cusp of revolutionizing the Web3 entertainment landscape through a series of innovative products, interactive events, and technological advancements. Kai, COO of MEET48, emphasizes the role of UGC and the seamless integration of AI tools in enabling fans to actively create and share virtual performances. He highlights the importance of reducing content creation barriers, noting that their AI SaaS tool, AIShowBox, empowers users to produce their own virtual idol performances at minimal cost and effort. These creations can be shared on various social platforms, enhancing engagement and participation within the MEET48 ecosystem.

Looking ahead, Kai outlines MEET48’s grand vision for its metaverse, a holistic and interconnected community that operates in parallel with the real world. This metaverse aims to bridge virtual entertainment with real-world industries, drawing in diverse demographics. MEET48’s approach leverages idol-fan interactions as the entry point into this immersive metaverse, providing a pathway for greater social engagement and content-driven experiences.

MEET48 is also making significant strides in the Web3 space through successful fan economy integrations. As Kai describes, MEET48 builds on proven Web2 models, combining them with Web3 innovations to democratize the idol-making process. Unlike traditional idol management systems where fans have limited control, MEET48 enables deeper fan involvement in both governance and economic rewards through decentralized mechanisms. This transparency and inclusivity make MEET48 a pioneering force in the Web3 fan economy.

The platform’s ongoing events, such as the TOKEN2049 side activities, bring MEET48’s idols closer to fans through live performances and fan meetings. These events showcase how MEET48 blends AI and Web3 to redefine the idol-fan relationship, offering fans more meaningful ways to interact with and support their favorite idols.

MEET48 is set to roll out several highly anticipated products in late 2024, including AIShowBox, CoinIdols and CoinFish. AIShowBox allows users to create AI-generated virtual performances, democratizing the content creation process, while CoinIdols and CoinFish, built on the TON ecosystem, merges fan interactions with token-based incentives. These products not only lower the barrier for fan participation but also create new avenues for monetization, turning engagement into tangible rewards.

In summary, MEET48 is leading the charge in blending AI, Web3, and entertainment, offering fans innovative ways to create, engage, and benefit from their involvement in the idol ecosystem. Through its groundbreaking products and inclusive community model, MEET48 is shaping the future of entertainment in the metaverse and beyond.

MEET48 Becomes Platinum Sponsor of TOKEN2049 Singapore and Hosts a Major Web3 + AI Party on the Night of September 18th, Featuring a Roadshow and Fan Meeting with the GIPR2 Top 7 Idols

Earlier, TOKEN2049 officially announced that MEET48 would join as a Platinum Sponsor for TOKEN2049 Singapore. Additionally, MEET48 will co-host the large-scale AI + Web3 application side event “Back To The Streets” on the evening of September 18th, alongside Hape, with strong support from partners such as ModelZoo, TraditioNow, OneKey, and BNB Chain.

MEET48 will also feature the GIPR2 Top 7 idol group in a roadshow and fan meeting.

By deeply integrating Web3 technology with the real world, MEET48 has created a new model for online and offline interaction. The performances at the Edge Summit and the “Back To The Streets” series of events not only allow fans to engage with their idols up close but also further expand the application of Web3 technology in real-world scenarios. This large-scale innovation drives the mass adoption of Web3 technology, positioning MEET48 not only as a success in idol voting events but also as a global pioneer in the fusion of idol economy and Web3.

For MEET48, 2024 is not only a year of innovation but also a critical milestone in promoting the widespread adoption of Web3 technology. Through AI-powered user-generated content (AIUGC), NFT enablement, and product innovation, MEET48 is leading the idol economy into a new Web3 era.

About MEET48

MEET48 boasts a technical and R&D team of 500 members, with a regional operations network spanning Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo, Seoul, and Dubai. It is considered one of the largest Web3 application project teams globally. MEET48 aims to achieve mass adoption of Web3 technology by focusing on an AI UGC content ecosystem centered around AIGC (Animation, IDOL, GAME, and Comics) entertainment content for Generation Z, along with a graphical and intelligent metaverse social foundation.

Bybit Report Reveals Liquid Staking as a Driver for Solana’s Growth

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 12th, 2024, Chainwire

A new report by Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, reveals the Solana blockchain is having a break-through moment driven by its liquid staking model. This report examines the current state of liquid staking on Solana—particularly exchange-launched liquid-staked SOL, key players in the space, and why and how the liquid staking model is poised to mobilize the masses to the Solana ecosystem.

The leading proof-of-stake blockchain has been a popular destination for memecoins, grassroot projects and other DeFi protocols in 2024. However, limited by its current market cap and reach, the mainstreaming of Solana is still underway. Bybit’s report underscores the significance of liquid staking, particularly led by the rise of exchange-backed liquid staking tokens (LST), such as Bybit’s own bbSOL, in driving the next chapter of growth on Solana. 

Key takeaways: 

  • Guiding Retail Investors to Solana: Mainstream exchange-backed LSTs will break down barriers and become the de-facto bridge between casual users and the DeFi opportunities in Solana. Bybit is first-in-market having recently launched bbSOL, the world’s first exchange to launch a LST on Solana. 
  • Blending Growth and Potential: Report findings show that Solana’s innovative liquid staking model is a step ahead of traditional staking with more flexibility and liquidity, providing users with improved yield and access. Its potential also speaks volume with a current liquid staking ratio of only 6.5%, allowing significant room for growth. Additionally, various projections see the market reaching $6-10 billion soon.
  • The Power of Memecoin:  The rise of memecoins on Solana creates a space for retail investors and may open up DeFi opportunities, potentially driving liquid staking adoptions further upwards.
  • Challenges Ahead: Sustaining growth in the ecosystem will require better user education and addressing smart contract risks.

Overall staking on Solana far outpaces Ethereum with over $57 billion worth of SOL staked, equivalent to a staking ratio of around 68%. 

The report also offers an in-depth view of the liquid staking landscape on Solana and the dynamics between the driving forces.

Dune Becomes the Most Comprehensive Onchain Data Hub for Polkadot’s 50+ Parachains

Boston, Mass, September 11th, 2024, Chainwire

New Integration Expands Dune’s Coverage Across the Entire Polkadot Ecosystem, Delivering Unmatched Onchain Analytics

Zurg, Switzerland, September 11th 2024 Dune, the leading platform for onchain analytics, announces the integration of 50+ parachains from the Polkadot ecosystem. With this expansion, Dune solidifies its position as the most comprehensive data hub for Polkadot, offering unparalleled insights and analytics for developers, investors, and data enthusiasts alike.

Earlier this year, Dune launched support for Polkadot, Kusama, and six parachains. Now, the platform takes a major step forward by expanding coverage to include the entire Polkadot ecosystem. This integration enables users to explore, analyze, and visualize all onchain activities across Polkadot in real time, making Dune the go-to destination for data-driven decision-making.

Polkadot’s ecosystem, known for its diverse and innovative parachains, generates a vast amount of data. Navigating this complex network can be a challenge. Dune’s expanded support simplifies access to crucial onchain data, empowering users to gain deeper insights into Polkadot’s dynamic ecosystem.

The newly integrated parachains include Moonbeam, which specializes in smart contracts and cross-chain DeFi; Acala, known as Polkadot’s hub for decentralized finance; Phala, which focuses on privacy-first DePIN and AI solutions; and Mythos, a protocol bringing AAA decentralized gaming and hugely popular franchises to Polkadot. These integrations, along with dozens of others, position Dune as the most expansive source for Polkadot’s onchain analytics, allowing users to track transaction flows, analyze DeFi activity, and monitor developments in gaming and NFTs—all within a single, comprehensive platform.

FredrikHaga, CEO of Dune shared, “Polkadot and its Substrate-based chains form a vast and complex ecosystem. With this integration of 50+ parachains, our goal is to make that complexity easier to navigate. We want to give people a clear, accessible view of what’s happening across the network, so they can focus on innovation and building with confidence.”   

This milestone integration was achieved through Dune’s partnership with Colorful Notion. Together, the teams developed a streamlined process for integrating new parachains, ensuring Dune’s data remains comprehensive, accurate, and reliable.

Dune’s integration also includes enhanced functionality through the Dune API, allowing users to convert any query into a flexible API endpoint. This feature offers greater flexibility for developers and analysts, enabling them to seamlessly incorporate Dune’s data into their own applications.
