‘Moonrise’ Initiative Signals Next Phase in Evolution for New-Look Moonbeam Network in Polkadot Ecosytem

Singapore, Singapore, June 5th, 2024, Chainwire

Ambitious 2024 Roadmap Includes 8x Improved Throughput, zkAuth for Web2 ID, Major Grants

Moonbeam Network, a smart contract platform for building cross-chain connected applications, announced the ‘Moonrise’ initiative anchored by a 2024 Product Roadmap that includes the introduction of parallel processing to improve throughput by 8 times, upgrading ecosystem integration, improving the developer and user experience, and more. Moonrise signals the next phase in evolution for Moonbeam and canary network Moonriver, which is incorporating Axelar bridging technology.

More than two years since its mainnet launch in January 2022, Moonbeam is well-established as the leading solution for integrating networks such as Polkadot, Ethereum and the broader EVM ecosystems. The 2024 Roadmap demonstrates Moonbeam’s dedication to continually improving its cutting-edge performance and experience for developers and users.

The Moonrise initiative is reflected in a comprehensive rebrand of Moonbeam’s look, underscoring how Moonbeam is more than a chain. It’s a hub for developers, Web3 enthusiasts, interoperability supporters and more.

“We’re beyond excited to reveal Moonbeam’s new look in conjunction with our ambitious plans for 2024. This year we are implementing improvements, upgrades and announcements to all facets of the Moonbeam and Moonriver networks,” said Aaron Evans, Head of Operations at Moonbeam Foundation. “As our passionate community of supporters knows, Moonbeam is a modern blockchain with features for developers and users that are still just a dream for other networks that remain in testnet phase.”

A lynchpin of the 2024 Roadmap is enhancing the core protocol with the introduction of asynchronous backing, a form of parallel processing that will quadruple block space and halve block times to 6 seconds, resulting in an 8x increase in overall throughput for Moonbeam.

More improvements include ensuring compatibility and seamless interoperability with Ethereum’s gas-saving Dencun upgrade, substantial upgrades to the UX for Moonbeam Routed Liquidity, and improvements to governance mechanisms.

Other highlights include:

  • Ecosystem Integration: Glacis integration for reliable cross-chain transactions, Tanssi integration for appchain deployments, revitalized Moonriver with Axelar’s Amplifier program for bridging and a v3 AMM liquidity program.
  • Developer Tools: Governance tracks for dApps, support for EIP-4337 Account Abstraction, expanded tooling integration for ease of development, deployment, and debugging/monitoring.
  • User Experience: Zero Knowledge Initiative (zkAuth) for Web2 authentication, tokenomics incentive updates, and streamlined stablecoin flows.

The series of initiatives will begin rolling out immediately and will continue to be deployed through Q3 and Q4 of 2024, and into 2025.

Australia to Launch First Spot Bitcoin ETF

//

Australia is set to launch its first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), which directly holds the asset, on Tuesday.

The Monochrome Bitcoin ETF (IBTC) will begin trading on the Cboe Australia exchange on June 4.

While Australia already has several exchange-traded products offering Bitcoin exposure, Monochrome Asset Management is the first to receive approval under a new crypto asset licensing category established in 2021 under Australian Financial Services (AFS) licensing rules.

This new category allows the ETF to directly hold Bitcoin.

Monochrome ensures that IBTC’s holdings are stored offline in a device not connected to the internet, utilizing a crypto custody solution that meets “Australian institutional custody regulatory standards.”

“Before IBTC, Australian investors were only able to invest in ETFs that indirectly hold Bitcoin or through offshore Bitcoin products, both of which don’t benefit from the investor protection rules under the directly held crypto asset AFS licensing regime,” Monochrome stated.

Unlike its U.S. counterparts, which are cash-settled, the ETF allows in-kind redemption from investors.

Monochrome CEO Jeff Yew expressed optimism about the new ETF, citing the consistent growth of indirect Bitcoin ETF products in recent months.

He told Cointelegraph that he anticipates “strong interest” in the firm’s ETF and confirmed that Monochrome is prepared to launch an Ether ETF, which will also hold the asset directly.

“We are also exploring other thematic opportunities within the digital asset sector to meet investor demand,” he added.

The launch of IBTC follows the introduction of four spot Bitcoin ETFs in Hong Kong on April 30.

However, three of the four Hong Kong ETFs have experienced cumulative net outflows since their launch, with the exception of Bosera’s spot Bitcoin ETF.

In contrast, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have seen better performance, with cumulative inflows of $13.9 billion, although this is offset by $17.9 billion in outflows from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust.

Yew noted that Australia is a “very crypto-heavy country” and predicted that local spot Bitcoin ETFs could generate between $3 billion to $4 billion in net inflows within the first three years.

Introducing Mandala Chain, The Polkadot L1 Targets 10M+ New Wallets in Indonesia

Bali, Indonesia, June 5th, 2024, Chainwire

Mandala Chain: Real World Utility & Adoption, Starting in Indonesia

Mandala Chain, a Polkadot parachain that seamlessly integrates government and enterprise applications with public and retail sectors, has released details on their initial partnerships and use cases. The inaugural use case, IDCHAIN, is in collaboration with the entity overseeing Indonesia’s top-level .id web domain. This initiative aims to introduce over 10 million new wallets, significantly impacting digital identification in Indonesia.

IDCHAIN: Pioneering Digital Identity Solution

IDCHAIN, built on top of Mandala Chain, is designed to create secure digital identity infrastructure on the .id domain, allowing users to store identity documents and interact with government and enterprise portals. 

The implications of this are profound. Indonesia’s second-level domains .go.id (government) and .co.id (business and banking) currently have over 100M active unique users. IDCHAIN turns these second-level domains into web3-enabled portals that prompt users to create their digital ID when interacting. Applications include banking, healthcare, insurance, and academic institutions – revolutionizing multiple economic sectors across SE Asia. 

IDCHAIN forms a crucial data infrastructure layer for Mandala Chain that will support a host of new use cases. Several pilot projects have already been secured that will leverage the technology stack for other DApps and L2s to launch on Mandala Chain. These include:

Banking: Mandala Chain is collaborating with over 90 banks to place data and transactions on-chain, initially adding 40,000 new wallets.

Healthcare: Partnering with 20+ hospitals to secure medical data and insurance on-chain, projected to add 900,000 new wallets to start.

Gold Tokenization: Working with a major Indonesian gold corp with $500M in gold reserves to explore tokenization options, onboarding approximately 300,000 new users.

Infrastructure: MOU signed with the largest Indonesian data infrastructure providers to explore multiple blockchain applications.

Product Authenticity: Collaborating with BKRAF to create authentication certificates for artist IP and products, a TAM of over 80 million products.

Awakening Southeast Asia’s Sleeping Giant

Mandala Chain has elected to focus on Indonesia as the initial market for rolling out their initial use cases. With the fourth largest population globally, Indonesia is projected to have the fourth largest GDP by 2040 behind only China, India, and the USA. The potential for growth here is nearly unparalleled.

The Indonesian government has prioritized blockchain as a core infrastructure in its Digital Vision 2045 framework. With an average age of under 30 years, Indonesia has a young, tech-savvy population likely to adopt blockchain technology. Mandala Chain is positioned to be at the forefront of this explosion in blockchain adoption.

About Mandala Chain

Mandala Chain secured a Polkadot Parachain in April 2024 with over $1.2M bonded by the public at the time of auction. Testnet will be live in June, and a token generation event is planned for September 2024, strategically timed for when Mandala Chain will be a co-title sponsor at Coinfest, one of SE Asia’s largest Blockchain conferences.

Polkadot Enhances Decentralization in Ecosystem Growth With the Launch of PolkaPort East in Hong Kong

HK, HK, June 5th, 2024, Chainwire

Web3 Foundation, the entity supporting the growth of the Polkadot ecosystem, has awarded a grant to PolkaPort East. The Decentralized Futures (DF) grant is designed to help further decentralize Polkadot while spearheading technical, community, and broader ecosystem adoption.

PolkaPort East is an independent entity leading investor relations and growth initiatives for Polkadot centered on Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. The DF grant from the Web3 Foundation is the first such award to be received by an organization working in Asia.

The grant will support PolkaPort East’s goals of leading investor relations and growth for Polkadot in the region. Its mandate also includes promoting Polkadot and its technology, and acting as a key regional driver of capital into the ecosystem.

Max Rebol, co-founder of PolkaPort East and CEO of Harbour Industrial Capital, a Polkadot-focused VC fund, said: “The launch of PolkaPort East comes at a crucial moment for Polkadot. It represents a critical step towards increasing the network’s decentralization while strengthening the ecosystem’s strategic position in Hong Kong. Thibault Perréard, also a co-founder who heads up strategy for Bifrost, a leading Polkadot parachain added: “With the support of the DF grant, PolkaPort East will be tapping into the thriving innovation hubs of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area while engaging and fostering relationships with local governments, global enterprises and capital allocators of the region.” 

Vincent Chan, the third co-founder of PolkaPort East who formerly led growth initiatives at Parity Technologies, explained that following the receipt of the DF grant, the initiative will seek to attract participants to the Polkadot ecosystem across Asia. These include projects and developers looking to build on Polkadot, Polkadot-native VCs, funds, and capital allocators, as well as general web3 investors. It will also target Asian university blockchain collectives and associations, fintechs seeking to enter web3, and local government exploring the use of blockchain technology.

Speaking on behalf of the Web3 Foundation, David Hawig, the Director of Ecosystem, stated “The Web3 Foundation is thrilled to support the Polkaport East initiative through a Decentralized Futures grant. This project exemplifies our commitment to fostering decentralized access and innovation within the Polkadot ecosystem. We believe Polkaport East will play a pivotal role in enhancing connectivity and empowering the community in Hong Kong, driving forward the vision of a truly decentralized internet.”

About Decentralized Futures 

The DF initiative developed by Web3 Foundation is designed to kickstart independent teams and initiative that will drive Polkadot’s success. It was established in 2023 following the restructuring of Parity Technologies which offloaded responsibilities for investor relations, growth and marketing to focus solely on technical development.

Through the DF program, funding is available for Polkadot-focused organizations that aim to generate profit, as well as for non-profits that have a strategy to secure ongoing financing through Polkadot’s onchain treasury system. An initial $20M plus 5M DOT tokens have been allocated to Decentralized Futures to expand the Polkadot ecosystem.

About PolkaPort East

Based in Hong Kong, PolkaPort East is an organization tasked with spurring adoption of the Polkadot ecosystem in Asia with a focus on Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. By working with different entities ranging from developers to investors, PolkaPort East will help to fuel adoption of web3 technology and onboard new users to Polkadot.

EU Elections to Shape Future of Crypto Regulations and Spot Ether ETFs

/

The upcoming European Union elections this week could significantly impact crypto regulations and the approval of spot Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The EU parliamentary elections, scheduled from June 6 to June 9, present a pivotal moment for future crypto regulations, according to Jag Kooner, head of derivatives at Bitfinex. Kooner told Cointelegraph:

“The elections could see a major shift in the political landscape, with right-wing and populist parties expected to gain substantial ground.

“This shift could influence regulatory stances, potentially leading to more stringent controls or, conversely, more supportive policies depending on the composition of the new parliament.”

Right-wing parties are anticipated to gain more influence during the 2024 elections.

This trend could lead to increased protective measures for the crypto industry, as noted by Marina Markezic, co-founder and executive director of the European Crypto Initiative (EUCI). Markezic told Cointelegraph:

“The right-wing trend will likely leave its mark on the Commission’s activities, including the expected portfolios of the upcoming Commissioners, which might present more visible protectionist tendencies.”

However, Markezic also highlighted that these right-wing parties could become unexpected allies for innovation-friendly crypto regulations:

“This political shift might lead to the adoption of the generally counter-status quo rhetoric of the crypto industry by representatives from the (far) right, presenting a new and unexpected ally for the crypto advocacy topics in Brussels and Strasbourg.”

The election outcomes could also impact the implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) bill, the EU’s first comprehensive regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, set to take full effect in December 2024.

Despite the potential for more conservative crypto regulations, spot Ether ETFs are gaining traction in Europe.

This follows the U.S. SEC’s approval on May 23 for eight spot Ether ETF issuers, allowing their listing and trading on respective exchanges.

This decision has boosted confidence among European financial institutions regarding Ether ETFs. Kooner from Bitfinex remarked:

“The approval of Ethereum ETFs in the EU is gaining traction… VanEck and Franklin Templeton have already listed their ETH ETFs on the DTCC in anticipation of regulatory approval.

This move sets a strong precedent for the EU, where the regulatory framework provided by the MiCA regulation could facilitate similar approvals.”

Some of Europe’s largest banks are entering the crypto space due to the clarity offered by the MiCA bill.

For instance, Germany’s largest federal bank, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW), announced it would provide crypto custody services to institutional clients starting in the second half of the year.

Additionally, Austria’s largest community banking group, Raiffeisen, partnered with Bitpanda at the end of April to offer digital asset services to retail banking customers.

iExec Launches Enhanced DataProtector: Revolutionizing Web3 Monetization & Ownership

Lyon, France, June 4th, 2024, Chainwire

iExec’s latest dev tool empowers Web3 developers to build apps that enhance user control over their digital assets and maximize monetization potential.

 iExec, the company with the platform to build, own, and monetize in Web3, has announced the release of an upgrade to their DataProtector dev tool, dubbed the ‘Monetize Version’. This latest innovation introduces an upgrade that offers new methods for Web3 developers, DApp users, and content creators to manage and monetize their digital assets.

Since its inception in 2016, iExec has been a pioneer in offering solutions that prioritize data protection and ownership. The updated DataProtector ‘Monetize Version’ reaffirms iExec’s dedication to innovation, delivering powerful tools that give developers the means to return control over digital assets to their users. The enhanced tool enables decentralized application (DApp) users to maximize the monetization potential of their data, content, and other digital assets.

Simplifying the Development of DApps with Enhanced User Ownership and Monetization Control 

Building on the original iExec DataProtector developer tool, this new version introduces the DataProtectorSharing module. This expands the toolkit with new SDKs offering a range of monetization strategies that simplify the sharing, distribution, and earning from digital assets. Transactions are secured by Confidential Computing hardware encryption and orchestrated via iExec’s specialized DataProtectorSharing smart contract. Monetization is streamlined through the use of RLC, iExec’s native cryptocurrency, ensuring secure and transparent transactions on the network.

The DataProtector ‘Monetize Version’ Puts DApp Users in Control of Their Data 

  • Ownership: Users can encrypt their data with ownership registered on the blockchain, ensuring they maintain control.
  • Sharing: Users can grant access to authorized apps and share data securely without exposure.
  • Monetization: Users have options to rent, sell, or bundle their digital assets in subscriptions, allowing flexibility in how they monetize.

This upgrade introduces advanced monetization options designed to enhance the value of digital assets while maintaining control and security. Users have the flexibility to engage in secure sharing of their digital assets with authorized parties without compromising ownership. Moreover, assets can be rented out for specified durations, allowing data or content owners to earn while maintaining ownership rights. Secure selling options enable users to transfer ownership of data or digital assets to interested buyers, who then assume full control over their use at the blockchain level. Subscription bundle aims for a potential income by granting access to curated data collections for a predetermined fee. These versatile monetization options aims for Web3 users to extract maximum value from their data, or any other digital assets, while ensuring continued control and security.

““The DataProtector developer tool aligns perfectly with our mission to empower Web3 users to optimally monetize what they own. Developers can create truly unique Web3 apps that prioritize user ownership, privacy, and monetization. It revolutionizes the Web3 experience, and sets a new standard in the decentralized economy.”  – Gilles Fedak, iExec CEO

What distinguishes this upgrade is its streamlined approach to sharing protected data and earning RLC. Distribution channels are set up in advance, allowing users to initiate smart contracts independently, removing the need to manage each transaction personally. This process leverages a combination of blockchain and Confidential Computing, utilizing Intel SGX Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) to ensure data remains end-to-end encrypted and secure, even during processing.

Impact on the Web3 community

The new ‘Monetize Version’ of DataProtector dev tools significantly enriches the Web3 community by boosting greater interaction and collaboration. This innovation supports a more dynamic and interactive ecosystem, where users can confidently manage, share, and monetize their digital assets. By promoting a culture of collaboration and innovation, this tool contributes to the collective growth and dynamism of the Web3 landscape.

About iExec

iExec is for Web3 builders who believe that users should have full control over the ownership of their data. By creating cutting-edge decentralized developer tools, iExec empowers developers to build Web3 applications that prioritize data ownership, privacy, and monetization.

With transparent access to TEE infrastructure (such as Intel SGX) and advanced Confidential Computing, iExec ensures that data remains secure during processing, even from the operators of the nodes themselves. This secure framework provides users with full control over their data, dictating who can access it and for what purpose. iExec also facilitates data ownership through NFTs, enabling users to monetize their digital assets via selling, renting, or offering subscriptions. With direct monetization built into the protocol, developers earn RLC every time their app is used. Compatible with popular programming languages, iExec offers the flexibility and robust security essential to pioneer the future of Web3. For developers valuing privacy, ownership, and monetization, iExec presents a compelling platform.

Developers and creators can visit the iExec Developer Portal for detailed documentation and tutorials on the DataProtectorSharing module.

Developers and creators can also follow iExec on X to stay up to date on developments and developer funding opportunities.

SNPad Announces Uniswap Listing and Plans to Transform TV Advertising with AI-Powered Platform

Bucharest, Romania, June 4th, 2024, Chainwire

SNPad, a new Web3 platform integrating AI and blockchain for personalized TV advertising, announced the upcoming listing of its SNPAD token on Uniswap on June 4, 2024 at 12:00 UTC. The event represents a significant milestone in the project’s ambitious roadmap and will enable it to raise liquidity for SNPAD token trading.

SNPad is a groundbreaking advertising platform that seeks to revolutionize how people interact with TV commercials. Users can install SNPad as a free app on their smart TVs, replacing traditional TV channel ads with personalized advertisements from the SNPad platform. These ads start and end simultaneously as the TV channel ads, ensuring a seamless viewing experience. The displayed ads are tailored to the user’s preferences, allowing them to see the desired products. Additionally, ad viewers are rewarded with up to 70% of the ad revenue in SNPAD tokens for their attention.

SNPad features a TV app for ad display and a mobile app for profile setup and crypto wallet management. This dual-application approach provides a secure and comprehensive user experience without affecting TV viewing habits. Notably, the SNPad application runs separately from the live TV broadcast and does not alter the TV content.

The beta version of the SNPad TV app is now available, allowing LG and Samsung TV owners, as well as Android and iOS mobile users, to test it on their smart TVs and mobile devices. Their experiences and feedback are invaluable to the SNPad team in refining and enhancing the app’s features.

SNPad uses cutting-edge AI technology to detect when a TV program breaks for commercials and seamlessly replaces the original advertisement broadcast with user-personalized ads. This provides users with a bespoke viewing experience and considerable earning opportunities. For example, users can earn up to 70% of the advertiser’s reward in SNPAD tokens for each ad they watch. Moreover, the ads on SNPad have interactive features, such as QR codes, direct purchases, and other activities or information via the remote control.

The platform uses a proprietary cloud network to guarantee high availability and redundancy for its backend services. Also, the team established strategic partnerships with Interlan Internet Exchange, Limitless, University Politehnica Bucharest, Incertrans SA, and Lirapay to enhance SNPad’s reach and functionality.

SNPad caters to TV viewers as well as to small and medium businesses. The latter now have the opportunity to showcase their products and services to specifically targeted audiences. The platform enables companies to “communicate” with the customers most likely to be interested in their offers based on location, interests, and viewing habits. More importantly, they no longer waste money on unseen ads. Instead, they can track their ads’ performance on the blockchain and clearly see what they need to improve.

About SNPad

SNPad is a revolutionary Web3 project that is the first to replace traditional commercial broadcasts on cable and satellite TV channels with personalized ads. The project received the “Best Blockchain Startup” award at the Crypto Expo Europe (CEE) 2024.

The platform aims to tap into a vast and unexplored market boasting over 1.72 billion homes with TVs worldwide. Its innovative service has an enormous potential for growth and user engagement, rewarding both viewers and advertisers.

SNPad will use up to 70% of the commercial business revenue to purchase SNPAD tokens from the market and reward users. The project has already minted all SNPAD tokens and made them available on the market, with no future minting possible.

The upcoming listing of the SNPAD token on Uniswap on June 4, 2024, at 15:00 UTC, could mark a historic moment for the television advertising landscape and its imminent integration with AI, blockchain, and other Web3 technologies.

Apu Apustaja Memecoin Launches High-Visibility Billboard Campaign in New York City

Phoenix, USA, June 4th, 2024, Chainwire

Apu Apustaja, the memecoin exciting the entire crypto industry, is also a new sensation in the busy streets of New York City, where flashy billboards advertise the project to passersby and onlookers. The famous frog memecoin appears on 13 billboards set at various stops in Manhattan, including one in the bustling Times Square, possibly the best-known intersection in the world with skyrocketing commercial appeal.

New York is one of the biggest economic centers globally. It is home to Wall Street firms, powerful banking institutions, and a well-established crypto community. Advertising within this city marks a notable milestone for Apu Apustaja, broadening its visibility and reach. The delightful meme-inspired coin can now reach a wider audience and onboard new people who are passionate about the project and its future.

The Apu Apustaja billboards in New York are part of the project’s extensive marketing campaign to boost brand awareness and recognition. The team’s marketing efforts include publishing web articles and interacting with its growing community on various channels, including X(Twitter), Telegram, and Instagram. Above all, the team says this is just the beginning of what they have planned for the project’s evolution and its backers.

Since its release, Apu has experienced a series of important developments. For instance, the project listed its token, $APU, on MEXC, Bitget, Bitmart, Gate.io, BingX, CoinEx, and LBank Exchange. It also secured a market maker and passed an audit with Metatrust.

More importantly, the project purchased APU.COM, which will become its official website with an imminent move from the former Apu.community domain. This epic event delighted its loyal supporters, including over 12000 coin holders and 15000 Telegram channel members.

About Apu

The project is inspired by Apu Apustaja, a popular internet meme that translates to “Help Helper” in English and originates from a Finnish imageboard. Its appearance resembles another popular meme, Pepe, which also inspired a renowned memecoin. The two are part of an emerging trend in the memecoin niche, which sees frog-inspired memecoins replacing dog-inspired coins, such as Shiba Inu and Dogecoin.

Apu takes a laidback, humorous approach to crypto. It rose from humble beginnings to internet fame and, now, public advertisements in New York. The team refers to this growing community as “frens”. It pledges its commitment to a fair and transparent evolution for Apu.

The $APU token is currently for sale on Uniswap, where interested buyers can purchase it for ETH simply by connecting their wallets.

If one is in New York, it is essential not to miss the adorable Apu popping up on a commercial billboard nearby.
