Lately, the crypto market has been hit by certain short-term impacts as a result of Anton Nell and Andre Cronje’s departure from crypto. As the market pins its hope on new projects, investors are also in an urgent search for promising projects. ViaBTC Capital, a rising star in crypto investment, has started to invest in new crypto categories starting from late 2021. It has focused on GameFi, a small category that may promise huge returns. Analyzing on-chain/off-chain indicators and the gaming fundamentals, ViaBTC Capital is looking for the next hit in GameFi.

New opportunities amidst current tensions

Although the market now remains sluggish, some promising GameFi projects are still emerging. Turning challenges into opportunities, ViaBTC Capital is exploring a new crypto category with great potential. At ViaBTC Capital, investment strategies are never confined to the immediate interest. Instead, the institution focuses on long-term development. For example, from a long-term perspective, it helps cryptocurrencies capture the spotlight in global finance, which brings both challenges and opportunities.

The same also applies to the GameFi market. Though 2022 is still waiting for the appearance of phenomenal projects with worldwide impact, the GameFi category is merely a start from the viewpoint of the entire gaming market. Along with the progress of technologies such as blockchain, AR/VR, the Internet of Things, and the metaverse, GameFi mechanisms will grow more diversified in the future. This, coupled with the P2E model, allows GameFi to integrate life, entertainment, and work, which will broaden its growth prospect.

Finding the next hit in GameFi

Having noticed the potential of GameFi, ViaBTC Capital has made fast moves and invested in emerging projects, including four new GameFi projects (STEPN, Edenbrawl, Infinite launch, and AAG).

1. STEPN

Official website: https://stepn.com/

STEPN is a Web3 lifestyle app with inbuilt Game-Fi and Social-Fi elements. Players will first need to purchase or rent NFT sneakers. In STEPN, you can make handsome earnings by walking, jogging, or running outdoors. STEPN is currently under the public beta phase.

With Game-Fi, STEPN aims to nudge millions toward a healthier lifestyle, combat climate change, and connect the public to Web 3.0 while building a SocialFi platform that fosters user-generated Web 3.0 content and promotes the Web 3.0 lifestyle.

2. Infinite launch

Official website: https://infinitelaunch.io/

Focusing on GameFi and NFTs Infinite Launch will be the first launchpad to have its own blockchain games to help new crypto adopters get acquainted with NFTs and Play-to-Earn models. Right now, three GameFi projects plan to go through IDO on Infinite Launch. In addition, the platform has also launched the NFT Whale Club.

3. Edenbrawl

Edenbrawl (formerly “Circuits and Shields”) combines the action combat of a brawler with the endless depth of a MOBA to create a “Mobrawler”. In Edenbrawl, players can kill or block their enemy or land the ball in the enemy’s “endzone” to win the 20-minute MOBA match.

4. AAG

Official website: https://aag.ventures/

AAG, a one-stop platform for players, guilds, and investors, aims to create economic freedom for the unemployed worldwide through the metaverse economy. It is also one of the fastest-growing guilds in the P2E industry. As of 2021, AAG covered seven countries and created an environment where players, guilds, and investors could interact seamlessly and make earnings through the services it provides.

AAG is not just a platform. It has built an all-new model. It has partnered up with many guilds, games, and investors, including ViaBTC Capital. Such a powerful investment network provides AAG with a strong business foundation and empowers it in fields that include gaming, blockchain, DeFi, and community building.

 A time of both challenges and opportunities

The GameFi market is shifting to second-generation and third-generation blockchain games. The market landscape of GameFi differs from that of other blockchain categories. Its relationship with the rest of the blockchain space resembles that between the metaverse and the Internet. GameFi successfully duplicates the financial sector, lending/borrowing system, and value-storing framework in the real world through its distributed structure and the confirmation of asset ownership via blockchain, which is also the reason behind its fast growth.

First-generation blockchain NFT games like CryptoKitties diminished due to the lack of long-term players. Second-generation blockchain games (P2E games like Axie Infinity) run the assets on Layer 2 blockchain networks and operate the game itself off-chain, thereby enabling gameplay with few costs and fast results. In such games, players can earn and monetize in-game tokens by playing the game for minutes. However, they still lack the advantages of conventional AAA games in terms of gaming experiences, game designs, and graphics. As such, second-generation blockchain games failed to build a mature market. ViaBTC Capital has captured the exponential growth of the demand for third-generation blockchain games that stimulate users through paid entertainment such as superior gaming experiences and gameplay, rather than P2E alone.

Having inherited all the advantages of blockchain technology, GameFi has brilliant prospects. In the future, ViaBTC Capital will continue to focus on the value-based investment of gaming ecosystems and engage in investment analysis and project empowerment according to the trend of game development. Meanwhile, it will push for the sound growth of GameFi and help build a prosperous ecosystem of third-generation blockchain games.

About ViaBTC Capital

An investment platform integrating capital, resources, and post-investment services

We believe that relying on the rich industry resources of ViaBTC Group and aggregating technologies, talents, projects, and capital in related industries around the world can accelerate the ecosystem development of the entire crypto industry. ViaBTC focuses on Web 3.0 and Layer 2 projects as well as DApps that feature DeFi, NFT, or DAO elements.

 

Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) Bee Network recently deployed two features. The first is a decentralized application (dApp) browser, and the second enables users to connect their Bee Wallet with external platforms, such as OpenSea.

Created as a unique blockchain, the Bee Network allows its users to earn rewards with its native token, Bee. Users can leverage the GamiFi experience to receive Bee with their mobile devices and become part of a community that has reached millions of users.

The Bee Network was designed to function like a hive, where each individual has a specific job and is able to operate within a close network without the oversight of a central authority. The project relies on its community members and contributors to advance and thrive.

As mentioned, the Bee Wallet can be connected, using WalletConnect, on marketplaces. In order for users to connect their wallets, they can select WalletConnect as their wallet provided when accessing the platform, as seen below.

Later, users can select the QR scanner function on their Bee Wallet to scan the code provided by WalletConnect. As the image below shows, this will allow the user to connect and then approve the connection to OpenSea or any other marketplace.

In addition, users will be able to interact with other dApps and Web3 experiences, like NFT games. As part of their dApp browser feature, this will remove friction from the process of finding and connecting to decentralized applications.

As seen below, when the user accesses their Bee Network App they can search and choose the NFT project. At the bottom of the screen, users will find the Square option where they will be able to access their favorite projects.

The process was created to be direct and simple, therefore, after selecting an NFT project, users only need to join the project and connect their Bee Network wallet. This feature will also provide additional information on the NFT game, its native blockchain, features, compatible operating systems, languages, and more.

Bee Network, Building An Open Internet With A Community At Its Core

In the future, Bee Network and its hive of contributors will work to make it the hub for the next phase of the internet, often referred to as Web3, and to grow its ecosystem. The project will introduce mobile games supported by the innovative GameFi Model, social media networks, marketplaces, and other services by levering the potential of blockchain technology.

Currently, and according to its Whitepaper, the Bee Network has over 1 million users, and moves at a fast pace surpassing its 10 million user milestone. There are over 18 million bees on the platform.

Unlike alternative blockchains, Bee Network has implemented a Know Your Customer (KYC) program that guarantees the safety of its users and prevents any bad actors from performing illicit activities.

Once the 10 million user milestone is reached, the project is moving to its final stage where it expects to onboard 100 million users with a native exchange marketplace and foster an open internet network on top of its community.

 

CoinMerge LLC, (CMERGE) is a Technology company based out of TX, USA that exists both on the ERC and BSC blockchain. Founded in 2021 this company began building the first Crypto Social Media Platform where users could come to chat, chart, trade, learn, and so much more all in one place on a single device. They have spent the last 8 months building the platform and community with the mantra of doing “The right thing, the right way”, always at the forefront of their business model.

Since 2021, they have released countless development updates on the CoinMerge.io platform and continue to improve on the utility and usability every day with crypto traders in mind. With over 9,600 users on their platform and over 160 projects listed, they are growing as quickly as they are building. Membership on the platform is 100% free, and listing YOUR crypto token on their platform is also 100% free.

A big part of what has their holders so bullish is not just the price action of their investment, but more so the fact that CoinMerge has 8 outside revenue streams that are put directly into buybacks on their token to increase holder’s wealth and value without the dependency on new holders, which ironically attracts new holders.

They also recently announced that they will be offering staking on their ERC token and redistribution of their Tokenomics to begin generating a buyback pool to raise whichever of the two tokens is lower.

CoinMerge is owned and operated by its CEO Mathew Goodhead, a Texas resident and recognized community leader. Their staff come from every corner of the USA with a global community. What Mathew and the team are building is absolutely needed in the crypto space, and more investors and users are jumping on board.

Users can now access CoinMerge through a web-browser, a pc app, the Google Play Store, and the Apple App Store. They recently developed customizable profile pages. Harkening back to the days of Myspace, users can customize the backgrounds, colours and fonts of their profile, pick their top 6 friends on the platform, and show off their favourite NFTs. They have partnered with another emerging company called DAR and officially partnered with Luna PR. CoinMerge also has a few notable investors, including: Joc Pederson, Pro MLB player, AJ Pollock, Dodgers Outfielder, and Todd Gurley, offensive player of the year in the NFL.

CoinMerge is poised for success, being the first to market on an all in one social media platform. With first-mover advantage, a dedicated team, and non-stop development improving the user and holder experience, CoinMerge is unlikely to stay at this Market Cap for much longer.

 

 

 

 

The crypto industry bears all the hallmarks of religion: the mysterious identity of bitcoin’s founder Satoshi Nakamoto has elevated him to the status of a spiritual force. The influence of spirituality or faith has been present since the genesis block of Bitcoin in 2009. It is not a new concept that has come out of thin air but the level of influence of religions is now evolving into something new, changing the blockchain and crypto sector.

With so many developments taking place in this space, the ”religion factor” is heavily influencing various projects. In fact, many projects are incorporating a religion-based approach to empower communities through blockchain solutions such as NFTs and the metaverse.

Imbibing this out-of-the-box approach, MetaKawn — an NFT and metaverse project — is making headway into the Web3 space. They are building the first Metaverse inspired by modern Muslims, and open to everyone who shares the same human values. Moreover, they are Bridging the gap between content creators from every niche while also benefiting their fans. And, to add an extra layer, a % of royalties from NFT transactions will go to the Kawn Fund in order to support Causes (Charity Programs) and Creators.

MetaKawn: Empowering Islam with Blockchain & Crypto

Cryptocurrencies have been developed to facilitate peer-to-peer transactions that operate independently from the central bank. They were designed for borderless transfers as they weren’t limited to one country or territory and there was no authority controlling the money mechanism of those assets.

Although they were designed as currency, it took no time leading to being a speculative asset for trading. Currently, there are thousands of cryptocurrencies available, and the majority of them are a gamble due to their large fluctuations in their prices. Adding to this, the introduction of NFTs has also sparked debate because of their speculative nature like cryptocurrencies. In fact, most of them are pump and dump that have drained millions of dollars of investors.

MetaKawn, on the other hand, is very different from other projects with its MetaKawn huffaz NFTs. It adheres to Islamic principles that forbid speculation and trading. It aims to enter the NFT and metaverse space respecting Islam social ethics. Moreover, it is creating the world’s first metaverse for modern Muslims who are proud of their heritage while embracing modern life around the globe. Ultimately, it is bridging the gap between content creators and their followers by ensuring fairness within the community.

Powering Islamic Creators Through NFTs and the Metaverse

By employing NFTs and the metaverse, MetaKawn is aiming to scribe Quran into the blockchain, by launching its first NFT collection, dubbed the MetaKawn Huffaz Club.

The collection includes 6,348 unique NFTs that represent a generation of modern Muslims, Huffaz Women, and Huffaz Men. The collection comes along with having meaningful and robust utility.

The inspiration comes from the concept of the Huffaz, who preserved the Quran since its inception and thus protected Islam’s values.

There are many similarities between the Blockchain system and the process of reserving the Quran. Back in time, the new verses of the Quran would be introduced to all the record holders (Huffaz) and let them know where the verse should be recorded in reference to other verses, thus slowly building the first Blockchain, the Quran.

The total number of avatars in the MetaKawn Huffaz Club is 6.348, corresponding to the sum of Ayats in the Quran. For every Huffaz NFT, one Aya will be dropped to its holder by the last 10 days of the month of Ramadan.

The MetaKawn Ambassadors Huffaz will power the MetaKawn Huffaz Club, which will include a wide range of categories. Moreover, many Ambassadors, celebrities worldwide known from various fields, will be selected to be a part of the program. The ambassadors’ goal is to strengthen their relationships with their audiences by providing exclusive benefits through the use of NFT and blockchain technology, and also by spotlighting modern Muslims’ success stories.

Making Room for Religions with Blockchain Solutions

Religions have a significant impact on the blockchain industry. In fact, this is only the tip of the iceberg, as more religions and cultures will undoubtedly join the NFT and metaverse craze going forward. And, projects like MetaKawn leading this innovation, it is evident that religious influence on blockchain projects is here to stay. NFTs and the metaverse have opened doors for innovations and new ideas. And, with more culture and religion influencing the blockchain space, it is right to say that we are on our way to a better future.

 

 

The NFT ecosystem is one of the most competitive in the blockchain industry, yet innovative projects always find a way to stand out from the crowd. One of such is Wall Street Chads which has grabbed the attention of collectors, crypto traders and NFT enthusiasts since its launch in July 2021.

Wall Street Chads is an NFT project that has created the first-ever decentralized community-run investment platform. NFT lovers and crypto enthusiasts can experience a seamless, frictionless and social community investing experience powered by Chads NFTs.

3,333 Chads NFTs sold out

Wall Street Chads took an innovative approach by breaking the record for the longest mint in history taking 179 days (Sept 12, 2021, to March 3, 2022)  to officially sell out its Chads NFT collection. Unlike other NFTs platforms, WSC opted for an organic mint while building out the product and strengthening its community, instead of spending heavily on marketing and hyping up the project.

This approach differs from other NFT collections which attract temporary investors looking to profit from pump and dumps, manipulative schemes that attempt to boost the price temporarily through fake hype or recommendations. WSC was able to ensure that its core community base believes in its long-term potential and this has brought great value and stability to its NFTs.

The current floor price for individual Chad NFTs is twice the mint price and its community is one of the strongest and most loyal in the space, which is exemplified through the fact that only 3% of holders have listed their NFTs for sale.

Wall Street Chads is a collection of 3,333 programmatically generated and unique characters living and thriving on the Ethereum blockchain as ERC-721 tokens. Chad NFTs are heavily inspired by the aura of the movie ‘’The Wolf of Wall Street” and the official WallStreetBets avatar, known as the ‘’Fuck Boy’’.

But, more importantly, ownership of a Chad NFT grants full commercial rights and access to the Corpo-Net, the official WSC investment portal. Chad NFT holders also have access to a fast-growing community of investors seeking to make greater profits.

A community-driven NFT ecosystem

The Wall Street Chads community currently consists of retail traders, entrepreneurs, Wall Street execs, bankers and general NFT enthusiasts. Furthermore, the community is also backed by blue-chip NFT holders like BAYC members and has attracted top players in the crypto space.

Wall Street Chads go beyond conventional NFT projects and redefine what community investing means, transforming retail investing to the next level with its product offerings. Unlike other NFT collections that raise money on the promise of creating products, Wall Street Chads has built a working product called the Corpo-Net, which consists of a gated Chad-NFT portal that grants several utilities to Wall Street Chads’ community members.

Members can create investment proposals, vote on them, and effectively coordinate an investment strategy based on community input. The Corpo-Net is officially live and has already started taking in investment proposals from the community.

Wall Street Chads also pioneered the Trade-To-Earn model (TEE) that incentivizes active traders and ensures that community members are rewarded for their efforts. In addition, the WSC treasury known as ‘ToDAOMoon.eth’ is designed to be sustainable. The treasury receives 50% of all funds raised during mint and 50% of royalties from secondary markets. Users can also access a sleek dashboard that visualizes all the assets in the WSC treasury and the performance of individual proposals, which are discussed in detail in various channels of their Discord.

More developments in the horizon

Wall Street Chads has an ambitious roadmap and intends to launch future products that will grow its community and treasury funds. Some of them include launching a future derivative collection and issuing its native token $WSC.

The WSC token will be airdropped to Chad NFT holders and will power its ecosystem. Holders will access innovative financial products and services. Furthermore, Wall Street Chads intend to become the information hub of everything finance, and members will derive great value from industry experts.

 

 

Here to change the way that artists and fans interact forever, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies are on tour in the music industry – from digital ticketing to distribution, NFTs are taking over. Let’s take a close look at the top four NFT platforms fronting the way: Centaurify, MusicArt, and Meteora.

Centaurify

Centaurify is a music NFT universe that helps music lovers connect with their favorite musicians on a new level, through NFT ticketing, live events, and official merchandise. Centaurify aims to revolutionize the music industry by taking control from scalpers, while giving it back to artists through the power of blockchain technology.

Today, scalped tickets go for massively inflated prices, with very little of their original sale going to performers. With the live event market expected to 10x by 2025, a massive amount of resources are being stolen from those who really deserve them. Centaurify is fighting back with tokenized tickets that are specially developed to prevent scalping by providing full transparency, thus empowering artists.

Another hugely important element is the official merchandise musicians produce, an essential component of artist-fan relationship building. While fans are able to collect cool mementos of concerts they attended or artists they support, musicians gain another revenue stream that allows them to continue producing their art. As a fan, it is important to wear the logo or symbol of their favorite band proudly, adding to the feel of belonging and knowing other individuals feel the same way. Centaurify will provide musicians the chance to sell their merchandise directly through their platform, removing any additional middleman costs. Simultaneously, fans can purchase merchandise confidently knowing that it will be original and will support the artist directly.

Although their platform is still in development, it has an impressive list of partnerships and backers from music and crypto, including the likes of Cardano, Ethereum, Solana, and Polkadot.

MusicArt

Aptly-named MusicArt is a planet-friendly NFT marketplace focused on music artwork. Introducing fans to artwork first the songs second, MusicArt gives music lovers a new way to discover music. Also, this focus on artwork re-establishes the importance of album art, and gives artists another way to earn by selling their visual outputs as NFTs.

All MusicArt NFTs are hosted on-chain, and are part of a fully open market – NFTs can be transferred out to external wallets or resold. Both auctions and fixed-price listings are supported, giving artists and resellers the flexibility to sell whichever works best for their products.

Meteora

Meteora is the NFT-based internet of music platform that brings together listeners, artists, and professionals into one metaverse. Its Lunaris.core industrial-grade layer-2 blockchain and protocol allows for instant and secure transactions across several blockchains, keeping the network scalable and the music going.

In addition to the freedom to own, sell, and trade music NFTs, Meteora offers listeners several unique benefits tuned to maximize their listening experience – to name a few: high-quality streaming, a state-of-the-art app, and an AI module that provides excellent listening suggestions.

With full publishing control, artists enjoy a feature set that truly empowers them and gives them the opportunity to maximally benefit from their creative work. Artists have the ability to choose between copy-based, streaming, master sale, and subscription models while setting their own pricing. After making sales, artists can either take payouts immediately or let their profits grow in their account in the form of Meteora’s $MRA token.

Lastly, Meteora also caters to professionals, creating a shared ecosystem for everyone involved in the creation and enjoyment of music. Meteora offers all of the tools necessary to create labels, manage rights and royalties, sell production services, manage events, administer licenses, and more – everything that professionals need to run their projects.

Although the metaverse is not a new concept, it has recently gained much more attention. Many are now becoming familiar with the idea, and are looking into what its future offers and how they can be a part of it. The metaverse will completely transform the current way of life for the average individual, affecting work, trade, entertainment, leisure, exercise, social interactions, and everything in between.

Apart from the retail players, big tech companies are also getting into the space. Facebook, the world’s most popular social media platform as of 2021, has recently rebranded to “Meta”, showing its commitment to this new space. According to an official announcement, rebranding was necessary because the company is shifting its focus to bring the metaverse to life. Footwear and apparel giant Nike is also preparing for the metaverse and has signified interest in creating its own space, as well as Adidas, another powerhouse brand.

The metaverse will transform many aspects of life by improving interpersonal interactions, establishing communities, and helping businesses grow. The climate required to create and operate a successful business will also change considerably. Firstly, the metaverse will allow businesses, regardless of size, to establish digital stores for their goods and services. A significant advantage of these capabilities for the average company is that opening a physical store is no longer necessary. This could significantly reduce overhead costs without having to sacrifice customer reach. In a virtual world, a company can tap into wider audiences beyond the physical boundaries imposed in a real-life setting.

There are also multiple metaverse use cases for the entertainment sector. For example, entertainment brands could use metaverse locations to preview music to excite virtual fans, holding mega concerts to listeners around the world. Furthermore, fans may also get the chance to meet and interact with their favorite celebrities, an opportunity rarely possible in the real world.

Additionally, people can gather for leisure activities in virtual parks to play or bond over shared interests and ideas. These locations could replicate attractions available in the real world, engaging all different types of users in the process. For instance, people can build teams based on varying activities, including everything from traveling, virtual combat, or playing chess. The metaverse will offer a slew of new opportunities for individuals and brands alike.

One of the less obvious but very promising advantages of the metaverse is the opportunity to capitalize on virtual real estate. Regardless of sector or industry, the shift to the metaverse still requires individuals and businesses to establish a presence on the metaverse; this is where virtual real estate comes in and plays its part.

All metaverse offerings, including commerce, healthcare, entertainment, and other sectors, must set up shop somewhere in the metaverse to reach their desired base. Individuals can also invest in virtual properties for various reasons, In parallel to the traditional real estate market, Investors can earn profit by purchasing properties and leasing them to businesses and other franchises. Investors can also simply buy virtual properties, hold them into the future, and later flip them for a potential profit. With 500 million dollars sold just in real estate in the metaverse, last year projections state that it will double this year!

The key to making the best out of a real estate investment is getting in early. As with everything else, early buyers catch on quicker and are in a better position to make a profit if and when the value increases. Investors are able to pick their property at floor price in a strategic approach that will allow the potential for a larger profit as well as an easier sale just as investors do in the traditional real estate setting. Users looking to get into digital real estate in the metaverse can start their virtual portfolio and begin with Ethereum Towers.

Ethereum Towers

Ethereum Towers is a community-centric vertical megastructure set in the Ethereum Worlds metaverse. Consisting of 4,388 separate apartments, Ethereum Worlds is a major player in the space available to investors interested in taking an early chunk of the metaverse real estate market as it grows. The apartments in the structure are in two identical towers, each with 101 stories. Each apartment is an NFT on the Ethereum network and is available as an ERC-721 token.

All owners in the Ethereum Towers can use their apartments however they please. Each owner can personalize their space how they wish, giving them full autonomy over their digital real estate asset. For this, the Ethereum Towers offers a marketplace with a wide range of accessories, furnishings, and ornaments that owners can purchase and set as preferred. Since each apartment is available on the Ethereum blockchain as an NFT, ownership is guaranteed and easily verifiable.

Due to the deliberate design, Ethereum Towers apartment owners and guests can explore the social benefits of a large community with similar interests. All residents partake in a virtual social experience supported by meaningful interpersonal interactions. Each tower possesses communal areas where owners can meet and interact, regardless of any preconceived boundaries that would limit interaction in the physical world. Through these interactions, users can build a strong sense of belonging and establish friendships along the way.

Perhaps the most significant advantage to Ethereum Towers is the investment opportunity it offers. In the metaverse, unlike in the real world, digital property assets usually have a much lower entry barrier, making it much easier for interested investors to get involved before the masses. The value of the apartments are projected to increase over time as meta living becomes more popular, providing early adopters a chance to capitalize on being first movers.

Getting In Early

Investors that have been able to identify ideas that dramatically impact the functionality of the future have always prospered. Those who understand the impact and utility around the metaverse too will have a major headstart within the benefits that this realm will offer. With Facebook being one of the largest and most successful companies taking action to rebrand itself as “Meta,” this should give investors a clear idea that a new significant era is on the horizon.

 

OVR has successfully completed the first phase of its two-phase migration to the Polygon Network. The move began in January and has already shown promising results for the project, with the second phase to be deployed in February. It announced that it has transferred the Merkle Proof and minting functions from the Ethereum network over to the Polygon network, allowing for NFT minting at low fees.

Furthermore, OVR also announced that Polygon network payments have been added to the Ethereum and BSC network payments currently available to users in the primary market. This will greatly decrease transaction costs while providing a higher scalability potential for the metaverse project.

But Why Polygon?

Ethereum may be the leading smart contracts platform in the crypto space but there is no doubt that it is an overcrowded and oversaturated network. This high demand on the network, coupled with the network’s inability to scale properly to accommodate its growth, has led to recurring scalability and fee issues, which happen to be some of the highest in space.

In light of these problems, OVR, a project initially built on the Ethereum network, has had to move operations to the Polygon network which can accommodate its growth and provide low transaction/minting costs for its users. The high rate of adoption of the Polygon blockchain and its closeness to the Ethereum network also helps to dramatically reduce the risk of ending up in “ghost chains.”

“The blockchain scalability landscape is vast and quickly evolving; choosing one solution over another is not a simple task, but it’s a multidimensional problem with many variables and forecasts to digest,” the website reads.

Polygon presents as the best choice for OVR given its low transaction costs, its decentralization trade-offs and project vision, adoption trajectory, and vicinity to the Ethereum network/EVM compatibility.

Trading OVR On Polygon

With the move to Polygon, trading OVR tokens has never been cheaper. Users can now easily swap their OVR tokens on the Polygon implementation of Uniswap V3. Gas fees for each swap are at $0.01 each as the move has made transactions easier and cheaper.

What’s more, is that OVR tokens can now easily move from Ethereum to Polygon and vice versa using the Polygon Bridge. It is a simple DApp that only requires a user to connect their wallet to it and they’re good to good.

Just as transaction fees have dropped with the move to Polygon, so have NFT minting fees. OVR users are able to mint their OVRLands for really cheap on the Polygon network compared to the Ethereum network. This capability is currently live and OVRLand holders can mint them as NFTs on the Polygon blockchain, which can only be sold on the OpenSea marketplace for the time being.

The second phase of the move to Polygon will come with even more exciting capabilities such as batch minting of all light minted OVRLands, direct minting of new primary market sales, an Ethereum <> Polygon NFT bridge, as well as a fully decentralized secondary market where users can sell their OVRLand NFTs.

It is up to each user if they want to mint their OVRLand on Polygon now or wait for the batch minting that comes with phase II. Those who choose to wait will have their OVRLands, which are currently saved as Merkle Proofs on Ethereum, minted directly to their wallets on Polygon.

There are currently more than 700,000 OVRLands in circulation owned by over 24,000 wallets. OVR is also pushing an update to its app to improve the AR experience of its users.

 

 

 

Cardano and its ecosystem have been implementing major improvements since Q4, 2020, and across 2021. Its users, stake pool delegators, and the company behind its development Input-Output Global (IOG), under the leadership of Charles Hoskinson, have been particularly focused on expanding Cardano’s smart contract capabilities.

Thus, the successful implementation of three Hard Fork Combinator (HFC) events, dubbed “Allegra”, “Mary”, and “Alonzo” have opened an endless field of possibilities for Cardano. Cardax, a decentralized exchange and automated market maker (AMM), built for this network is one of the many projects seeking to leverage Cardano’s new capabilities as the ecosystem moves to fulfill a vision of decentralization, financial inclusion, and sustainability.

Supported by the Cardano community via the ecosystem’s crowdfunding program Project Catalyst, Cardax is one of the AMM on this network aiming to provide its users with a secure and reliable product. On Ethereum, hackers have taken millions from users by leveraging security flaws.

The AMM on this network will fully support Cardano’s native token capabilities by allowing its users to trade with these digital assets, to trade with different native tokens in a single transaction and become liquidity providers with the Extended Automated Market Maker (EAMM) protocol.

These features make Cardax a more efficient, cost-efficient, and secure product set to compete with Uniswap, SushiSwap, PancakeSwap, and other AMMs in the industry as it will offer users unique functionalities. This will include the capacity to trade via Cardano’s Yoroi wallet, and liquidity provides the ability to earn fees collected on the platform.

Why Cardax Is A One-Of-A-Kind Platform For The DeFi Sector

Another unique characteristic about this platform is its hybrid model that will combine the benefits of an AMM and an order book, such as the one used in traditional exchanges, to enable trading. The end-user will be able to benefit from these dual models by leveraging efficient slippage and minimizing the risk of impermanent loss.

This is how Cardax will provide a practical solution to the most common issues present in almost every AMM currently operating in the DeFi sector. At the same time, projects building on the Cardano ecosystem will be able to access a native market for their tokens and boost their adoptions levels.

The DEX is being created in collaboration with Well-Typed, a top Haskell consultancy led by Duncan Coutts, and Mlabs, a Haskell, Rust, Blockchain & AI consultancy firm. It has also partnered with Tweag, a software innovation lab that concentrates on Haskell development for finance platforms and applications.

In 2022, Cardax will attempt to deploy its own native stablecoin to facilitate trading. Post-launch, the developers of this AMM will focus on working on its second iteration with even more features and functionalities.

As Cardano aims to become a fully decentralized and self-governor ecosystem, Cardax will be managed by its community. All CDX holders, the native token for this platform, will have a voice and say about the project’s future development.

The Cardano network and its developments have a strong community and persistent detractors. The latter claimed the blockchain has taken “too long” in deploying smart contracts, but loyal users have stayed due to its clear vision, roadmap, its security, and projects such as Cardax that could support the digital economy of the future.

 

LegendsOfCrypto (commonly known as LOCGame) is the first play-to-earn GameFi project of Rbl Labs, a company based in Amsterdam – it focuses on NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and bringing their use case to the blockchain gaming space. LOCGame is a pay-for-play and strategy card game that features several metaverse and play-to-earn features on a 3×3 battle grid.

The game’s metaverse is an acknowledgment of the history of the crypto space and the pop culture associated with them. It also features many instantly recognizable playable characters in the form of popular influencers and celebrities in the crypto space. Rbl Labs, the company behind the game, has stated that future metaverses will be coming to the platform and will be announced in 2022.

At the heart of this ecosystem is the $LOCG token. Let’s understand a little more about the project, the token itself, and why this asset has tremendous upside potential.

LOCGame: Creating A Buzz In The Crypto Space

The first-ever blockchain game to feature NFTs was CryptoKitties. Several other games also utilize NFTs, with another prominent example being Ethermon, which tried to build on this concept. LOCGame leverages the same concept, allowing individuals to buy NFTs and use them in a game featuring thousands of other players.

LOCGame is an NFT project repackaged as a collectible trading card game. Unlike many other collectible card game startups that cloned famous Hearthstone gameplay, LegendsOfCrypto developed its own unique core gameplay based on Triad Battle.  The game utilizes blockchain technology to create unique, non-fungible assets that pay homage to the members of the crypto space. Players in the game can win NFT items, while card owners are eligible for various rewards from prize pools. The game leverages DeFi and DAO governance and is powered by the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains.

Rbl Labs won a grant for Polygon as their layer-2 will power the game core, its DeFi economy, and its DAO governance model. It also makes cross-chain playability possible, enabling low transaction costs and high transaction speeds and acting as a bridge to the Ethereum blockchain. Used in tandem, both Ethereum and Polygon ensure the stability of the LOCGame ecosystem.

The $LOCG Token: Powering the LOCGame Ecosystem

The $LOCG token is the native cryptocurrency that sits at the core of the LOCGame ecosystem. The token brings the platform and game to life, acting as a governance mechanism and allowing users to earn rewards by playing the game or staking.

Let’s take a closer look to understand how the LOCGame token can be utilized:

• Indirect rewards in play-to-earn mechanics
• Payment mechanism
• Access to communities, discounts, and perks
• Staking for rewards
• DAO governance

The LOCGame ecosystem includes:

• Native NFT marketplace connected to third-parties on Polygon and ETH: https://marketplace.locgame.io
• Collectible strategy card game with free-to-play, play-to-earn GameFi features
• In-game reward token that can be used to purchase and upgrade playing cards – stake to earn $LOCG and other rewards
• The $LOCG token
• NFT collectible cards – the Genesis edition is fully dedicated to crypto industry famous characters
• Upcoming games complimentary to LOCGame
• Charity and social responsibility – 10% of NFT sales go to a good cause via Little Phil

The $LOCG token is available on top cryptocurrency exchanges such as Gate.io, HotBit, Uniswap, ZT, and KuCoin. It has a circulating supply of 50,209,206 $LOCG, with a total supply of 148,053,144 $LOCG and a maximum supply of 150,000,000 $LOCG.

Why $LOCG Could Be a Good Buy

The $LOCG token shows great potential at the moment due to several reasons working in its favor.

Rbl Labs just launched the demo version of the game on Dec 16, 2021, where the community feedback is overwhelmingly positive. The next Alpha 2.0 will be released in early Q1 2022, where there will be a basic play-to-earn functionality introducing a new in-game token as well as new reward utilities for the $LOCG token. As the game evolves further in 2022, the utility for $LOCG will be expanded, thereby increasing the demand.

The current market cap stands at only around $5.5 million, in comparison with $200 million+ market caps for working games such as Gods Unchained, Splinters, and other playable GameFi products. Typically, small caps are poised for huge growth once the product is launched.

Additionally, with the support of major blue-chip investors (such as Signum Capital and NGC) and huge designer partnerships with artists from brands like Burberry and Prada, the $LOCG token is set to take off!

The market is currently experiencing a frenzy in the play-to-earn space, and LOCGame will be at the forefront of this movement in 2022 with full functionality of the game on the horizon.

With the launch of the platform scheduled in December, players will need to buy the $LOCG token before the game’s launch so that they can purchase NFT cards to play the game. The $LOCG token can also act as a payment mechanism and gain access to discounts, governance, and staking.

Therefore, $LOCG has massive potential upside for 2022 and beyond.

The Future of Play-to-Earn NFTs

LOCGame is redefining the blockchain gaming space, bringing several new features backed by the platform’s cutting-edge technology. The LOCGame ecosystem is designed to give its users an immersive experience that takes a new spin on the utility of NFTs. On another note, LOCGame’s Genesis Edition NFT Sale took place on 4th of December, and with the launch of the game almost upon us, there’s an unbelievable amount of hype around the game.

Add to this mix words of endorsement from behemoths of the crypto space, Bitboy, Crypto Lark, Crypto Stach and Carl the Moon, LOCGame promises to turn the NFT gaming space on its head. The $LOCG token has a lot going for it, set to soar to new heights.

 

 

 

Ariane Capital, a traditional family office involved in the cryptocurrency market since 2014, is launching an ARBA SPIN, a certificate actively managed with a long-term directional objective.

The fund mixes the fundamental analysis of the crypto with the ability to seize opportunities identified within for best returns.

Over the past two years, the crypto industry gained mainstream attention and mass adoption, and traditional financial institutions increasingly started seeking exposure to this new asset class as well.

(Image Source)

With demand for crypto assets evolving, Ariane Capital noted that its clients have been seeking out long-term directional exposure, and to cater to this rising demand, the firm launched ARBA SPIN to offer absolute performance.

The ARBA SPIN yielded +12.5% in its first month after launch and in a bear market. Ariane Capital attributes this performance to the “alpha generator qualities of the management team, who were able to identify several significant opportunities.”

Despite being a conservative family office, it has been seeing “growing demand” from its clients, said Benjamin Guez, co-founder of the multi-family office Ariane Capital, in an interview. The fund applies a risk management methodology with existing tools such as options or futures.

“The market is now aware of the underlying assets’ volatility and wishes to have a dedicated risk allocation given the strong potential of the crypto asset class in this universe,” Guez said.

Being Early and Strong

Ariane Capital, one of the very few operators in the European financial market, already has its arbitrate fund ARBA FUND available, whose objective is to be decorrelated from the market. It was the first regulated and structured arbitrage fund on the market.

During the downturn of May last year, where the crypto market reported losses of more than 50%, the ARBA Fund had a monthly performance of 0.12%. But as the crypto sector evolves and continues to gain adoption, arbitrage gaps and opportunities are shrinking, resulting in a 15% return in 2021 compared to 2020’s performance of +41.75%.

The technology-focused family office, Ariane Capital, got into crypto at an early stage about eight years back. At the time, the cryptocurrency sector was still opaque and new, and it took a few years for the firm to open a bank account and offer liquidity to its clients.

The firm has since then gathered a team of financial market professionals and experienced fund managers specializing in a proper risk management approach to offer services ranging from legal structuring to the opening of depositories.

It now also has the internal capability to analyze the crypto universe, invest in it, and support its development.

Being early in the game means, “it allowed us to be ahead of and in sync with the whole crypto universe,” said Guez.

 

Q: Of the many ups and downs, CoinEx has gone through in the past four years, what was the most complicated challenge? How did you meet it?

Haipo Yang： Feeling lost was the most complicated challenge we had. We struggled to find the answers to many questions, including: What kind of exchange should we be? How do we realize this? Does the future look good for the crypto industry? Personally, I felt lost, but the team was even more so. Many start-up teams will be able to relate to this. Fortunately, we pulled through.

In my view, the most crucial thing when we face such a challenge is to have faith. We must believe that blockchain could change the world, that we could find a suitable direction for growth, that the team will grow stronger, and that the market will usher into a bright future. I’ve also kept improving myself in different ways to study CoinEx’s strategic goals and identify the right path while sharing my thoughts with the team.

Q: As we all know, you aim to turn CoinEx into a mainstream exchange. In your view, what is needed to achieve this goal?

Haipo Yang： Yes, my goal is to help CoinEx grow into a great exchange, as well as the infrastructure of the blockchain world. To achieve this goal, we need to build a strong, global team. On the one hand, CoinEx should provide safe, stable, simple, and easy-to-use products to meet the demand for crypto trades among investors. On the other hand, in the inherently globalized blockchain market, we need a global team for promotion in different markets so that CoinEx will be available to users in more countries and regions.

Q: Right now, most investors are only concerned with their immediate profits while ignoring their long-term interests. What is your suggestion for such investors? Why should they choose to purchase and hold these tokens over the long run?

Haipo Yang： Investment is a highly specialized field. We all know that one needs to learn how to swim before jumping into the pool. However, most people have had no training before diving into the investment market. Throughout the years I spent in investment, it has become clear to me that the failure rate of short-term trading, especially highly leveraged trades, is staggeringly high, and only a few extremely gifted investors win the game. For most people, long-term investment promises a higher success rate. However, this is not to say that you can sit back and relax after making a purchase. Instead, we need to stay updated on the developments of the target project. More importantly, we should embrace new developments and concepts that keep popping up with an open mind and capture the latest crypto trends by adjusting our investment portfolio.

Q: There must be an experienced team behind all the great features of CoinEx. Could you talk about your team and their background?

Haipo Yang： We do have rich experiences in the crypto industry. In the early days, I had worked as a software engineer at Internet giants like Tencent. After going into the blockchain space in 2014, I had been involved in the development of mining machines, mining pools, cloud hash rate services, wallets, exchanges, and public chains. To me, security and the relevant background are always a priority. As a result, CoinEx has never suffered any major security breach. I started my own company in 2016. Most of our staff are recruited and trained by me personally, and many of them have a strong background in their field. Over the years, the team has been fast-growing. Right now, CoinEx is powered by a team of more than 200 employees across the globe, over 60% of whom focus on products and R&D.

Q: After the launch of many games that support cryptos, will CET offer more support for games?

Haipo Yang： I have strong faith in the prospect of GameFi because games and blockchain make for a perfect combination. Last year, we built CoinEx Smart Chain (CSC), which adopts CET as its built-in token. To expand the CSC ecosystem, we have launched investment and support programs worth $50 million, with a focus on DeFi and GameFi. As the CSC ecosystem continues to develop, the value of CET will also grow higher.

Q: What sets CoinEx apart from the many exchanges out there?

Haipo Yang： If I was asked to summarize CoinEx in a few simple words, my answer would be secure, easy to use, reliable, and global. As the biggest threat in the crypto world, security is the top concern of CoinEx. Keeping your assets secure has always been our No.1 priority. Meanwhile, CoinEx is also striving to create products that are easy to use. We aim to offer improved user experiences and meet users’ needs for crypto trades across the board. Additionally, to ensure that each asset listed on CoinEx meets our listing criteria, and to provide reliable options for users, CoinEx conducts extensive reviews for all assets on its platform. In the inherently globalized blockchain market, we have continued to localize our products so that they will be accessible to every person in the world.

Q: Do you plan to create a CoinEx wallet where we can hold/stake CET and become long-term holders?

Haipo Yang： Apart from storing CET on CoinEx, we recommend using ViaWallet, which is a decentralized wallet developed by the CoinEx team that supports multiple cryptos. It allows users to manage multiple in-wallet assets on a single application. On ViaWallet, you can store and stake CET to get more benefits. Moreover, you can also tap into projects in the CSC ecosystem. In the future, as the CSC ecosystem matures, there will be a lot more scenarios where CET can be used.

Q: As a CET holder, I’d like to find out more about CoinEx’s launchpad.

Haipo Yang： The launchpad is a key product on any exchange. However, we are also very careful because investment involves great risks. To this end, we have made tons of preparations to make sure that the projects we launch promise high quality. What I can tell you is that launchpad is coming soon

Radix, the layer-1 cryptocurrency built specifically for decentralized finance, has launched a London-wide advertising campaign to coincide with the arrival of its Alexandria update, using the #RadixTakeover hashtag.

The Radix community has partnered with leading advertising agency S3 to orchestrate a campaign across the London Underground. The advertisements carry the message “Radix has arrived” and a link or QR code to a landing page with more information about the Radix network and token. The advertisements are displayed at thousands of individual Underground stations and are expected to receive millions of impressions. Londoners can share photos of the advertisements on Twitter with the hashtag “#RadixTakeover” for the opportunity to win 20,000 XRD, which is equivalent to roughly $5737 at the time of writing. There is also a bonus prize of 5,000 XRD to someone who Retweets the Tweet.

Physical cryptocurrency advertisements have been a recent hot topic, with projects ranging from serious layer-1 cryptocurrencies such as Avalanche to “meme coins” such as Floki advertising in locations such as outdoor billboards and on buses. In November, the UK’s advertising watchdog launched an investigation into the Floki ads after receiving several complaints. While TfL (Transport for London) does not ban crypto advertisements, it does place them under additional scrutiny before approval.

The community-funded Radix campaign coincides with the release of Alexandria, which provides “early access” to smart contracts for DeFi developers before the Babylon update in 2022 when smart contracts will go live on the mainnet. Developers can already start building with Scrypto, the smart contract language based on Rust and specially designed for DeFi.

Although Radix does not yet have live smart contracts, it has already attracted a host of projects, including Radix Collection (which awards badges based on participation in the Radix network), Samuskycoin (a meme coin built on Radix, which raised over $70,000 in its seed round, and Ociswap, which aims to be the first decentralized exchange on Radix after the launch of Babylon in 2022.

The project has drawn the attention of significant players in the crypto space, including the YouTube channel Altcoin Daily, which has produced several videos extolling the superiority of Radix as a technical solution for DeFi. Radix has been favourably compared to other coins such as Avalanche, Solana, Cardano and Ethereum, and has attracted investment from investors and venture capitalists including Saul Klein, Taavet Hinrikus, and Willy Woo.

The Radix Tube ads are expected to run until 3 January, generating large publicity for the Radix network and raising the project’s overall visibility.

Colexion stays at the forefront to empower India’s gaming enthusiasts to shape their future and provide multiple growth opportunities. Launching the world’s biggest NFT drop of 30 celebrities on 12th December IST.

Being the second-most populous country, India has the largest number of mobile gamers in the world. And with the advancement in blockchain and VR/AR technology, the gaming industry is paving its way to disrupt the industry with rapidly increasing users each passing day. Video games have considerably evolved in the past few decades. In fact, the global gaming market, which was valued at USD 173.70 billion in 2020, is predicted to reach USD 314.40 billion by 2026, with a CAGR of 9.64% between 2021 and 2026.

The fact that people can earn while playing and then sell it to other people is what has been the driving force behind the popularity of gaming. Today, people are trying different ways and tactics to channelize their creativity and explore all the futuristic opportunities in the virtual world.

Therefore, it’s imperative to understand the basic differences between crypto gaming and NFT gaming. While crypto gaming stays outside all the disadvantages of centralization, NFT in gaming allows users to enjoy ownership rights of their exclusive games. This further adds value to gaming, making it much more popular within the gaming world. To simplify this, Crypto gaming uses cryptocurrency to earn and transact with other players. On the other hand, NFT gaming offers a much more complete experience focused on using native currency to generate and collect unique gaming assets that can be used in the game for special actions and powers.

Colexion is built to provide infinite opportunities to emerging digital artists where users collect, battle, and earn tokens or rewards while playing. Play-to-earn is a whole new paradigm based on creating real-world value out of in-game items and other forms of digital goods using non-fungible tokens, cryptocurrency and other blockchain technologies.

The platform is launching its first set of NFT trump cards featuring 30+ legends from the entertainment and sports fraternity on December 12th, 2021 at 12:12:21 pm IST. The Trump Cards will enable users to play and win games. In addition, NFTs will contain voice-overs of profound celebrities to make fans feel more connected to them.

With its NFTs, Colexion will provide a chance for users to meet their stars in person and win their signed merchandise. Positioning itself at the intersection of innovative NFT digital collectibles, this initial NFT drop will serve as a model for celebrities who wish to offer fans verified ownership of their digital currency along with perks embedded in the Colexion ecosystem.

As traditional gaming requires a more complex setup, virtual gaming has been evolved to make the overall user experience seamless and unified. And Colexion, through its easy-to-use interface, will empower individuals to strengthen their community and earn recognition among others. With the rise in popularity of NFTs in 2021, virtual gaming brings digital assets and identity into the player’s hands, riding on the push for decentralization in the gaming industry. Investors have taken notice of the trend, with Polygon being a major investor.

Speaking about the future of gaming, Founder Abhay Aggrawal says, “NFT gaming is emerging as a gigantic sector that has enormous potential. We offer our users a virtual and real-world experience through the latest innovation and technology. We provide an opportunity to play with NFTs and earn revenue through it. Our NFT marketplace will also provide the gathering of trading cards as NFTs to set up your NFT card collection. While it is no secret that the NFT market is growing to become a billion-dollar industry, games are one of the best-suited use cases of NFTs that have enormous potential for growth”.

Having said that, Colexion manifests a new generation of games, where gamers will get the freedom to explore different opportunities and operate from a place that is free of any restrictions and earn rewards for the same.

 

Fresh off the sale of his “I will flood you with my flowers” NFT, artist and actor Jordi Mollà is renewing his affiliation with Raini and Krew Studios.

Mollà, whose on-screen credits include Jack Ryan, Blow and Bad Boys II, is joining forces with the NFT platform and creative studio to conduct an NFT drop called Masks. The collection features a range of unique digital masks based on a collection meticulously hand-painted by the self-taught Spanish artist, with the drop scheduled for December 8.

Demystifying Mollà’s Masks

As an actor, Mollà has worn many faces and the collection was influenced by the personas and characters we all inhabit in our daily interactions with the world. Some 10,000 masks have been 3D-rendered, animated and tokenized, with a percentage receiving physical as well as digital redemption rights. The mint will go live for a two-hour presale window on Wednesday, December 8 at 8 pm UTC, with a public sale following from 10 pm UTC.

The winner of Mollà’s previous work automatically gained five whitelist spots for the latest collection, as well as an invite to a swish NFT event that is being hosted by Krew Studios on December 4. The Art Basel show in Miami Beach, which is part of the city’s annual Art Week, will educate attendees on the various ways in which Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) tech are being integrated into the upcoming drop.

An emerging NFT launchpad, Krew Studios is currently pursuing a raft of exclusive artist and gallery partnerships as it seeks to bridge the gap between physical and digital art. Ahead of the Masks drop, the Studio has distributed 50 Members Only whitelist passes to community members, entitling holders to access to upcoming Krew drops and events (including the Masks party), community voting, and airdrops.

As well as 50 such golden tickets, 1,000 of the Studio’s Discord members have also been whitelisted for the Masks NFT sale. The Krew team has thrown down the gauntlet to the wider public by encouraging them to join Discord and acquire their own whitelist privileges.

Raini, whose products include yield farming, a play-to-earn trading card game, and a curated NFT launchpad and marketplace, is also furnishing its token stakers with special access to the sale: some 500 mask NFTs will be made available to those who supply liquidity or stake $RAINI via the platform’s Unicorn and Rainbow pools.

Disrupting the Art World

Synergies between the worlds of art and NFTs continue to form, with commentators now wondering whether Quarter 3 trade volume ($10.7 billion) will be surpassed in Q4.

Blockchain’s disruptive influence on the traditional art market has been one of the year’s biggest stories, bringing works to the attention of a broader demographic of buyers while providing a tangible use case for distributed ledger technology (DLT).

Back in March, digital creator Beeple became the third richest living artist after selling his tokenized work The First 5,000 Days for $69 million at Christie’s. The event aroused unprecedented interest in the NFT market from millionaire art collectors and consortiums, as well as artists seeking to bring their creative talents to the blockchain.

 

 

Decentralized applications (dapp) are becoming a popular technology in the investment market, especially when it comes to cryptocurrency. What makes dapp different is that even though they offer a similar layout and functionality to a standard phone and web application, they do not run on corporate servers.

Instead, dapps run on a blockchain or peer-to-peer network. Thus, no single company or user is controlling them as they are community-driven. With no central authority running the dapps, this platform is independent of interference by corporations, governments, and individuals.

Moreover, decentralized applications eliminate the downtime, meaning if a server shuts down, another network takes up the load and keeps the dapp working. Therefore, the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem is majorly dependent on dapps these days. They have been a game-changer for the Blockchain world.

BNBMatrix For Yield Farming

Every day a new dapp offers new earning opportunities and numerous benefits to crypto investors. Now, with multiple dapps out there, one stands out as the best, i.e., BNBMatrix.io – a yield farming smart contract on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

Yield farming is one of the biggest growth drivers of the Defi sector and, currently, the hottest topic in the crypto space. So, what is yield farming? It’s an investment strategy to grow crypto and earn more.

DeFi Yield Farming continues to boom in the crypto space and so far in 2021, the investors have gained over 60% returns! (Source: Medium)

The Idea Behind BNBMatrix

BNBMatrix.io is a Smart Contract-based platform on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). It promises high ROI (Return on Investment) in minimal time and resources. You can get high profits on daily investments of as low as 0.01 BNB. As the name suggests, this dapp allows you to deposit only one type of crypto asset, BNB, to earn high interest.

Return On Investment on BNBMatrix

BNBMatrix yield farming gives the users the opportunity to earn daily rewards. They can generate a daily return on their deposits from 7.8% to 17% depending upon the deposit period they choose – 7 to 30 days. Thus, the total ROI ranges from 119%-234%!
