Flicko has launched its ISPO Remastered that offers more rewards for staking. Following the success of its two IDOs, it is now moving to the next phase of the project. The ISPO Remastered is another way for investors to earn more income while supporting their media projects of choice. It will provide delegators with more rewards options than was previously offered.

The first-of-its-kind media incubator announced that ISPO Remastered will empower anybody to be able to generate passive income streams. This will come from films, TV shows, digital media, the written word, as well as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Delegators who stake their ADA in the Flicko ISPO Remastered will receive 0.33 FLICK tokens for every ADA in each Epoch. The ISPO has grown quickly and has already seen more than 15 million ADA staked. By delegating their tokens to this pool, users are able to stake their assets to create passive income, but will also be able to be a part of meaningful change in the media industry.

More rewards are up for grabs for both long-term and new delegators including bonus $FLICK tokens, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and exclusive access to content and behind-the-scenes activities.

Users who earn voting credits by staking their ADA are able to participate in Flicko voting rounds. These voting rounds will include various media projects of various forms which the community has to vote on. The projects that win the voting rounds get funded and head to production. The users who vote for successful projects continue to earn returns from the content they helped fund while allowing the creator to maintain full ownership of their art.

Flickto Announces Decentralized Media (DeMe)

Staying true to its nature of being a pioneer, Flickto has announced the creation of decentralized media (DeMe). DeMe is aimed towards creating open-source platforms that put people in control over their data. These users are able to control what media projects get funded and ultimately consumed by the public.

It will solve the issues created by the current media landscape which include wasted budget, creation of films/media that the audience did not ask for, and letting a few people with a lot of money control the media consumed by the audience.

The ISPO Remastered is the first step in securing a new future of media. It is the marrying of decentralized finance (DeFi) and the media industry to decentralize financing. Additionally, Flickto aims to decentralize the distribution of media projects, basically becoming the decentralized version of YouTube or Netflix.

FLICK tokens can now be purchased on MuesliSwap as Flicko recently announced a partnership with Cardano DeFi protocol. FLICK tokens can also be traded on Cardano DEX SundaeSwap.

Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated, three-dimensional depiction of a digital environment at its most basic level. The beauty of VR is that it may be any environment or simulation we want it to be, and we can be “in” it, engaging in a variety of ways, having multisensory experiences, and even doing things that defy logic.

Thanks to the creation of the metaverse, virtual reality is going to become much more than what we know it to be now,. VR’s future is bright, but before we get there, it’s vital to understand how it came to be and why it’s become such a major concern in recent years.

The metaverse is a shared virtual environment that people may enter over the Internet and is rendered lifelike via virtual reality and augmented reality. Most people would rightfully associate the metaverse with the various gaming worlds they enjoy playing in, and they would be correct – but with blockchain powering it, it can be so much more than that. For example, in Decentraland, we can purchase and sell digital real estate and trade it for real money while exploring and participating in its virtual world, or in The Sandbox, we may play, construct, own, and monetize our virtual experience.

RFOX VALT – RFOX’s very own metaverse – is another excellent and clear example of a metaverse maximizing the possibilities of virtual reality. It is a self-contained virtual environment with its own tokenomics, allowing users to use RFOX and VFOX tokens within the ecosystem. It’s also having public land sales, which are usually snatched up by big-name businesses who want to turn the property into their own shop where customers like us can check out, buy, and have their things delivered for real. The RFOX VALT metaverse also intends to feature an NFT exhibit, where we can see the trendiest NFTs on display in spectacular 3D models, as well as an events section, where we can attend concerts of our favorite singers with our friends no matter where we are or without leaving our house.

RFOX is Planning Livestreams, Metaverse, and More for the E-commerce Space

RFOX has set out to be a major player in the next generation of e-commerce, based on the breakthroughs of live streaming and the metaverse, as a firm that is always innovating through cutting-edge technology. RFOX has been developing an e-commerce streaming app, which will be bolstered by the launch of RFOX Media’s future RFOX TV streaming platform. This e-commerce program will connect to the RFOX VALT metaverse, allowing online sellers to reach a larger audience in the virtual world. Cashback and affiliate programs, as well as a 5% platform fee and money from KOLs, will all contribute to the app’s financial health and future growth.

A tract of metaverse real estate in The Sandbox sold for a whopping $4.3 million last November 2021, while another person paid $450,000 for a piece of metaverse prime land next to Snoop Dogg. During the initial property sale in RFOX’s very own RFOX VALT, one of the Callinova businesses sold for 2 million RFOX tokens (worth $177,000 at the time of writing). It’s difficult to ignore the growing demand for metaverse land, especially when people are prepared to pay millions of dollars for a piece of virtual real estate.

Virtual reality technology has advanced dramatically in recent years, making it more accessible to the public. Graphics are becoming more realistic, virtual reality headsets are becoming smaller and more affordable to the general public, new virtual reality accessories are being developed every day, and possibilities that have never been explored before are constantly being developed. The barrier between the actual world and the virtual world is likely to become increasingly blurred as alternate worlds such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and extended reality (XR) become more complex and integrated over time.

RFOX Metaverse Key Elements

Cyberpunk 2077, a video game, takes a unique approach to portray the future of virtual reality by experimenting with the concept of braindance. Putting dystopian visions aside (happily), VR technology is now used in a variety of businesses to improve people’s lives. In addition to the metaverse, virtual reality is particularly useful in situations where sensory experience is required but is unavailable, impractical, harmful, or even impossible to obtain physically.

Metaverse lands, like physical properties, can be used for a variety of purposes, which is a very appealing feature if you plan on starting your own metaverse business, being a landlord and leasing your properties to tenants, or even opening your own metaverse showroom to display your NFT collections. For example, RFOX VALT is separated into four sections, each with a different theme. Each quarter consists of 25 shops that are auctioned off to the general population. If you were one of the happy bidders who won a shop in RFOX VALT, you can either make it your own or lease it to someone else.

Other metaverse companies also offer different ways owners can use their metaverse real estate. Sports giant Nike, for example, unveiled Nikeland on metaverse platform Roblox, an entire world designed for Nike fans to connect, create, compete, and share experiences or even shop for Nike gears.

 

While the exponential growth of decentralized finance is evident from the increased awareness and utility, the industry still remains complex to navigate for new users. However, with the growing progress and growth, a new concept of decentralized finance has evolved as DeFi 3.0. DeFi 3.0 is a modular approach to decentralized finance in harmony with Web 3.0 with an aim to improve user participation using simplification.

DeFi 3.0 is an initiative taken by several projects to promote a community-centric approach where the investors and traders benefit the most. With the right approach and deployment, DeFi 3.0 has the potential to blossom into one of the most progressive aspects of the crypto industry. Moreover, DeFi 3.0 is solving several pain points of DeFi 2.0 that investors and users faced in various instances.

The Drawbacks of DeFi 2.0

While DeFi 2.0 paved the way for the innovative DeFi 3.0, it witnessed several instances where the investors were scammed out of billions of dollars. One of the biggest cases that came to light was with Wonderland. The top executive of Wonderland, Michael Patryn proposed the DeFi protocol that offers yields of 83,000% which unfortunately did not fall through

Wonderland investors were promised unbelievable APYs by showcasing a treasury balance of $675 Million. However, the TIME token price plummeted significantly from the high of $10,000 to a low of $335 in November last year. This price downfall caused the investors to lose significant investments.

Luckily, DeFi 3.0 is solving these pain points of the previous gen DeFi and projects like 4dot using its products such as Cross-Chain Farming and D3 Protocol.

4DOT – DeFi 3.0 Made Easy

4DOT is a decentralized finance ecosystem that offers innovative and easily accessible DeFi 3.0 solutions. The project has designed a set of DeFi 3.0 products that empower the ecosystem and its vision of bringing awareness to the masses. 4DOT has designed a buy, hold, earn model where anyone can participate despite their experience level.

The buy, hold, earn model is paired with a dynamic treasury via taxes and generates profit across different chains. Moreover, all 4DOT product smart contracts are fully audited, and the liquidity is locked prior to launch until 2024. 4DOT ensures that any protocol deployed on the ecosystem is audited and secured using fundamental and on-chain analysis. 4DOT ecosystem consists of these four products:

Cross Chain Farming ($CCF)

$CCF is a DeFi 3.0 Farming-as-a-Service protocol that helps users to receive reflections and dividends via a protocol-managed yield farming treasury.

D3 Protocol

D3 Protocol is a DeFi 3.0 index, where users can stake and earn from an auto-investing, auto-compounding treasury of yield-bearing DeFi 3.0 assets. The stakers of the protocols will receive reflections and $BUSD dividends.

Moreover, 4DOT will be launching a DeFi 3.0 Launchpad (4DOT Launchpad) and a DeFi 3.0 low-risk yield farming strategy (Hera Capital) soon to expand its suite of products.

Apart from these robust DeFi 3.0 products, 4dot will also introduce a liquidity lock, a Hashex Audit, excellent farming profits and a transparent team. 4DOT is a complete DeFi 3.0 ecosystem with robust products and an innovative approach, which will help the project disrupt the decentralized finance industry.

 

 

 

DeFi

DeFi (Decentralized Finance) burst into 2020 with resounding success, rising from a combined $900M market cap in January 2020 to $253B by the end of 2021. DeFi offered true decentralization of finance by automating transactions through the blockchain. DeFi also provides optional yet lucrative features such as staking. However, the cryptocurrency market moves quickly, with innovation always one step ahead. As 2022 began, Google search trends started to slow down for DeFi, with GameFi growing in popularity.

GameFi

GameFi expanded upon this by building DeFi and blockchain features onto the foundation of a game. These features capitalized on the growing population of professional gamers, E-Sports, Twitch streamers, and YouTubers. Previously, Esports streamers made income playing and competing in a game – Hobby becoming a career. This profession was not without faults. Professionals would be subject to the rules and popularity of their platform, strict advertising criteria, and trending games.

Thus, GameFi was born. Using DeFi, control is taken away from centralized companies and back into the hands of the investor. From the first-time investor to the professional gamer – GameFi welcomes all to take control of their assets and accrue wealth. An example of this is NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). NFTs are assets turned into holdable tokens. Due to this, DeFi features such as staking and renting, become usable on NFTs. Therefore, rather than money squandered on a virtual asset in a standard game, they are an ownable, financial asset in GameFi. Traditional video game companies have noticed this growing market and intend to capitalize on it. Ubisoft CEO Yvette Guillemot states: “We consider blockchain one of those revolutions… Play-to-earn will enable more players to… earn content, own content, and we think it’s going to grow the industry”.

FireZard

One project revolutionizing the GameFi and the P2E market is FireZard and its BSC (Binance Smart Chain) token $ZARD. A decentralized NFT Trading card game powered by blockchain technology that creates a wholly user-focused GameFi experience. The game revolves around investors forming a team of unique NFTs to battle other investors and gain further rewards. FireZard innovates on the limitations of GameFi competitors by removing entry requirements and ensuring consistent profit. Further, despite being a young project, the team has already procured a security audit through Solid Group. The rapid deployment of a security audit demonstrates how FireZard prioritizes investor safety and experience. Future goals include; an exclusive trading marketplace, battling other players, competitions, a mobile game, non-competitive gameplay, a web series, a free-to-play system, and more.

An investor begins their FireZard experience uninhibited by purchasing $ZARD to stake in their dApp. Doing so produces $FLAME – which has no dollar value and is not tradeable on an exchange and has an unlimited supply. This feature makes FireZard a unique and innovative product in GameFi. A limitation in competitors is the large entry requirement to playing, with many games requiring ownership of costly $1000 NFTs. FireZard invents a new system in which any player, regardless of investment, can create a FireZard NFT. Thus, any barrier of entry is removed, creating a more globally accessible GameFi product. The innovation continues as FireZard also provides ‘Instant win BNB’. When investors create (summon) an NFT, they expend $FLAME to produce it. If this NFT is above a common rarity, the investor is rewarded a set amount of BNB directly to their wallet based on the card rarity. The rates of BNB rewards are as follows: Common (0 BNB), Uncommon (0.1 BNB), Rare (0.25 BNB), Super rare (0.5 BNB), and Ultra-rare (1 BNB).

FireZard is an example of how cryptocurrency creates innovation. From Cryptocurrency to DeFi, to GameFi, and now FireZard. The project prioritizes investor security while providing a new, innovative take on the NFT based GameFi market. With no barriers to entry, compelling art, numerous future goals, and tangible BNB rewards – FireZard is set to explode into the booming GameFi trend.

 

Play-to-earn (P2E) is the talk of the town with plenty of games raising billions of dollars. This new model is changing the whole gaming paradigm. It is already creating waves in the crypto industry, with many projects launching new games daily. Although making money through gaming is not a new notion, it has been taken to a whole new level with the emergence of blockchain and, most importantly, with the recent boom of  NFTs.

The P2E era began with Ethereum since it was the only platform available in the early days. For several years, it was both the most proficient smart contract platform and a big developer and user community, which turned it into the greatest platform for blockchain games’ development. As a result, the community witnessed the birth of play-to-earn games like CryptoKitties and Decentraland, which allowed players to monetize their in-game efforts in a number of ways, such as breeding rare and sought-after CryptoKitties or swapping beautiful parcels of land in Decentraland.

With blockchain technology poised to disrupt this massive business, it is evident that play-to-earn is here to stay. With over 3.2 billion gamers already active in the market, P2E games have an edge in reaching a much larger audience. The P2E sector is now on the verge of widespread acceptance, with gamers embracing this new model as a method of earning money.

Leveling Up Gaming Skills to Earn more in P2E Games

Play-to-earn games are all about strategies and skills, and how players use them to get the most out of any P2E game. Many gamers have excellent skills and are in high demand in the market, but the majority of them have remained in the Web 2 environment, where they earn money mostly through streaming and gaming tournaments. The big change with P2E games is that they reward gamers depending on how they play the game strategically.

Popular games like Axie Infinity give players the opportunity to monetize their skills by playing games and not just by winning tournaments, etc. They reward every move made by the player with their native game tokens that can be converted into real money. These games have flipped the entire traditional gaming business model, from players looking for excellent games to earn to games looking for good gamers.

It is now more necessary than ever to have exceptional gaming skills in the P2E age, where gamers may make a lot of money simply by playing. Although skilled gamers are generating money with games like Axie Infinity and Decentraland, things are getting tougher as games seek new challenges to meet expanding demand in the crypto and NFT industry.

Finding the Right Games that Compensate Fairly

The P2E industry has expanded so much that it is now saturated with hundreds of games that offer a similar type of gameplay and reward model. Given the tremendous amount of fragmentation in the industry, finding play-to-earn games that players want to play has become difficult. In fact, there are gamers out there who spend their time and skills on games that pay them just a few bucks.

However, there are gaming companies eager to hire great players and compensate them decently for their time on the field, while players are looking for the best paying games.

In order to bridge this gap, platforms are working hard to provide a one-stop solution that will guide the relevant gamers to the right games. LUDO is one such platform that, through its application, is connecting the right gamers with the right games. It is developing a multi-chain platform with an emphasis on usability and a creator-centric approach. Ultimately, its goal is to steer players to the games that will give them the best earning opportunities.

P2E Games are Beyond Making Rich

Although P2E games might earn players a lot of money, it is also crucial to highlight that this model is paving the way for innovation. Platforms like LUDO, which are driving innovation in this field by tackling basic challenges, are revolutionary. The P2E model has given birth to new ideas, and putting them to use to solve real-world problems ensures that it is here to stay.

 

Blockchain technology enables quicker, lower-cost, and more secure payment systems, as well as a distributed ledger that can foster trust among participants. Although blockchain began as a support platform for digital currencies, it has now been implemented into a variety of industries, including payments.

In actuality, the traditional payment system has been riddled with flaws and urgently needs a revamp. In many circumstances, it might take days to conduct a transaction with additional costs and low security. This is why people are hesitant to use payment methods to keep or transact their funds.

Furthermore, a large percentage of the population lacks access to adequate banking and payment systems. In this aspect, blockchain payment services like Nexus Project are rising to the occasion to make a significant difference, providing efficient payment services while also significantly reducing all of the challenges in this industry.

Nexus Project is a payment gateway that leverages blockchain to provide a digital payment infrastructure that will contribute to economic development by increasing accessibility and encouraging consumption. Nexus Project deploys unique digital rewards/points services to enable merchants to implement a reward system for loyal customers, ensuring customer retention.

Exploring Nexus Project Digital Rewards/Points Services.

Nexus Project reward/point services are targeted at helping merchants increase payment transaction efficiency, and cost while ultimately retaining customers’ loyalty and patronage.

According to research, it costs five times as much to acquire a new client as it does to retain an existing one. This is why it is critical for small businesses to convert one-time clients into loyal, recurring customers. Customer loyalty programs are clearly the key to long-term business success and customer retention. According to an Advocacy Report, 40 percent of customers are willing to buy again from firms that reward loyalty.

To ensure consumer loyalty and also maximize income through repeat purchases, a well-functioning rewards system is a must-have. This explains why Nexus Project is deploying blockchain technology to provide merchants and business enterprises with an efficient, functional, and cost-effective loyalty payment infrastructure.

The Nexus Project, in collaboration with numerous firms in the UAE, has made the payment services readily available and can be used in many retail outlets, restaurants, and other establishments, primarily in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Stores can also become members without having to invest a substantial sum of money to install the system, as is generally the case with traditional point payment services.

Payment may be done conveniently at a variety of locations, including huge retail malls, supermarkets, food delivery, motels, and so on. The payment app is uniquely designed to display shop locations and recommended products, indicating that there are more appealing prices available to consumers at a good settlement rate.

Nexus Project Deploys Blockchain’s Smart Contract To Facilitate Large Transactions.

Nexus Project will also enable the signing and settlement of significant acquisitions such as real estate and other extensive properties, which has hitherto been impossible with traditional payment methods. Due to issues with identity verification and payment screening, there have been no businesses that go as far as settling real estate contracts with smart contracts up until now.

Blockchain technology, on the other hand, is being leveraged by Nexus Project to its maximum capacity to expedite the acquisition of real estate by integrating smart contracts, asset collateral, and personal identification systems.

To ensure long-term sustainability and growth, the project intends to evolve the digital incentive/digital point services as a Web 3.0 solution independent of the issuing firm by underpinning the value of digital points with a proprietary token called Nexus Token.

Nexus Token: The Utility Token Powering Nexus Digital Rewards/Points Services

Nexus Token, the token economy that fuels Nexus Project, will be issued as a multi-network token that will support a variety of networks. The Nexus Token will be deployed initially on Polygon, the largest and most efficient Layer 2 solution on the Ethereum network. This will enable rapid processing power and decentralization based on “Proof of Stake,” a next-generation consensus mechanism on which Polygon relies.

Polygon, an excellent Ethereum alternative, is extremely compatible with ERC and can be used for a wide range of Ethereum-based applications. The entire supply of Nexus Tokens will be fixed, and as further networks are introduced, an amount of Nexus Tokens on the existing network equal to the newly issued supply will be locked to maintain the original supply.

Final Thoughts

Blockchain technology has had a significant impact on the payments sector, and it is still evolving. Payments become incredibly safe when transactions are distributed among network nodes of computers, with no chance of tampering or data modification. Enterprises that deal effectively with the problems of centralized payment systems and build a committed and competent team to install a blockchain payment system in their organization may quickly reap its numerous benefits.

Being at the epicenter of this innovation, Nexus Project isn’t only deploying blockchain-powered payment services to merchants but rather it has integrated digital rewards/points services. Being one of the first movers in this innovation, Nexus Project is taking all the right steps to set the precedent for blockchain-based digital rewards/points payment services.

On the 16th of February 2022, CEO Michael Ein Chaybeh simulcasted a live AMA session to Youtube, and Twitch using MeiTalk’s multicast feature. As the CEO exclaimed the feature was made simple and user-friendly enabling everyone to multi-stream.

StreamCoin has 21 official telegram communities with members inquisitive about the ICO, its referral program, MeiTalk, and its features. This AMA session was held to respond to their inquiries. Before hosting the live streaming session community members were provided a chance to submit their inquiries. During the AMA session, Michael Ein Chaybeh responded to them one by one.

The most frequently asked question was regarding StreamCoin’s listing on crypto exchanges. The CEO explained to the viewers that disclosing the exact date would be non-compliant to the NDA between the company and the exchanges. He however stated that StreamCoin aims to be listed on more than 100 exchanges in early May.

Conversion of StreamCoin into fiat and if it could be purchased with fiat was another concern that came up. Michael explained that similar to other cryptocurrencies StreamCoin could be converted to fiat currency at the respective exchanges. He further stated that fiat conversion to crypto was still a thing for the future. Michael declared that StreamCoin which is predicted to sell at $1.3-$3 is set to run on its own mainnet within the coming 2-4 years. The CEO was questioned about the burning of StreamCoin, to which he responded that the unsold tokens from the ICO along with a similar amount from the team allotment would be burnt.

Michael described in detail many of MeiTalk’s features. After being asked if MeiTalk supported third-party software, he stated that presently, MeiTalk supported OBS studio. He also mentioned that MeiTalk doesn’t intend to penetrate the live streaming market, per se, it plans on supporting and bringing all the platforms together and connecting streamers and viewers, globally. When asked Michael explained that the platform wasn’t subscription-based. Moreover, Michael indicated that MeiTalk will manage content supervision with the help of a team of trained specialists and a reporting feature similar to other platforms. Michael listed out the ways streamers and viewers can earn StreamCoin via MeiTalk. Streamers have the opportunity to be endorsed by their viewers and can also earn via the NFT marketplace. While viewers can watch advertisements to earn StreamCoin.

Michael concluded by explaining the referral program of StreamCoin’s ongoing ICO, which has no limit and can be shared with several people. StreamCoin’s official ICO began on February 1st and will continue till April 30th. StreaCoin will be a part of the World Live Streamers Conference held in Dubai on March 25th and 26th.

After a steep contraction resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, sub-Saharan economies are expanding, leading to a boom in the logistics sector as the need for transportation rises. However, more than half of active vehicles in the region are inefficient 2-stroke petrol-powered motorcycles, primarily used in taxi and delivery services that drive hundreds of kilometers per day. The fuel they burn is costly for drivers and produces large quantities of toxic CO2 and fine particulate emissions.

Recognizing the need for cheaper and more efficient transportation solutions, Bob Eco Ltd., a rapidly-growing electric vehicle and clean energy company, entered the African markets with a line of orange-clad electric two and three-wheelers designed for the needs of taxi and delivery drivers. Since the first one hit the road in October of 2020, Bob Eco’s bikes create a total of 2.6 jobs per bike and save 5 tons of CO2 emissions from being released into the atmosphere every year.

Able to save on fuel costs, drivers who switch to one of Bob Eco’s vehicles nearly quadruple their take-home pay on average – enabling them to support their families and equip their homes with basic necessities like running water. Further, Bob Eco provides its bikes on a lease-to-own basis, giving drivers the chance to accumulate wealth once they pay off their rides.

Being the clear choice for both drivers and the environment, Bob Eco has attracted the attention of African governments, leading to several state-level partnerships, including an order for 232,000 vehicles from the Senegalese government.

Bob Eco signed a 200-million-dollar production deal with manufacturing juggernaut Jincheng Suzuki for annual volumes reaching 200,000 units to keep up with demand. Bob Eco has also recently opened a manufacturing facility focused on producing tricycles and Tuk Tuks, popularly used for comfortably transporting voluminous goods and larger groups of people. This facility has an annual production capacity of 1,500,000. The electric vehicles produced by this facility alone can save over 1,500,000 tons of CO2 emissions by 2024.

Using the UN Environment eMob calculator, scenario calculations show that 11 billion tons of emissions could be saved by 2050 with a global shift to 90% battery-electric motorcycles. Given the rapid growth of two and three-wheelers in Africa, Bob Eco is focused on areas where it can make the most significant impact.

However, Bob Eco is not fighting only for the environment. Bob Eco also runs several social programs in Africa serving people in need. These programs include feeding hungry children nutritious meals via planting fruit trees and rearing animals, building new water sources for local communities, providing schools with scholarships and resources, and providing shelter solutions for those without any.

To do good in more places, Bob Eco launched its BobCoin (BOBC) STO on the primary market in March of 2021. As Bob Eco sold 24% of all Bobcoins for tens of millions of dollars to investors in over 40 countries, the STO can be considered a massive success. Bob Eco’s drift to expand has led Bob Ultee (CEO of Bob Eco) to announce that Bob Eco is “going public” in March with an ICO-WA. Bob Eco will sell BOBC on the primary market in this second round of funding, which is already accessible to retail investors via presale on the reputable www.Knaken.eu crypto platform. The expected listing valuation is $1.45 billion to $1.5 billion.

 

 

Ekta is one of the trending blockchain protocols that bridges the physical and digital worlds. Named EktaChain, the mainnet leverages the power of blockchain in its tokenization of real-world assets. Hence, EktaChain facilitates the representation of physical assets and their real-world value as virtual analogs.

In its operation, Ekta aims to offer users a platform to build a profitable and robust portfolio of real-world assets, but on-chain, and for all budgets and types of investors. Its mission to tokenize traditional businesses, natural resources and real-world capital provides both brands and individuals the opportunity to grow using their assets.

Ekta NFT Marketplace

Following through on its roadmap, Ekta will soon be launching its own NFT marketplace. Non-fungible tokens are an emerging technology that has exploded into a major industry in short order. It’s now one of the main tools for brand marketing, advertisement, funding, and other purposes. However, NFTs only have sustainable value when backed by real-world use cases and assets.

Launched in August 2021, Ekta stands as one of the most focused decentralized protocols to align blockchain with the physical world. It is preparing a unique and transparent self-developed NFT marketplace for NFT enthusiasts to explore that value asset-backed assets rather than only digital art as NFTs.

In line with its vision, Ekta will create a cross-chain NFT platform for trading, staking, and exchanging physical assets with digital assets representation. The Ekta NFT marketplace will serve as a bridge where NFT developers and owners of the physical assets interact with other brands and individuals through their virtual collections.

Ekta’s Vision for its NFT Marketplace

Ekta’s mission is to bridge blockchain to the physical world and spearhead mass-market adoption. The protocol aims to achieve this goal by creating platforms that deliver real-world utility and benefit to people and communities that are not yet on-chain. In doing so, Ekta will fulfill its vision of creating profit with purpose through its NFT marketplace.

Here are some of the physical assets that could be represented as NFTs.

• Real estate
• Verified Carbon Units (VCU)
• Equity in startup companies

Generally, users will be enabled to tokenize different assets on Ekta, which range from properties to utilities irrespective of the location globally.

Moreover, Ekta supports project development that targets different industries such as smart tech, clean tech, alternative medicines, ocean start-ups, aquaponics, and permaculture.

The overall functionality of the Ekta ecosystem includes some features already launched like its own blockchain explorer (ektascan.io), its own bridge (bridge.ekta.io); and soon-to-launch platforms like the Ekta NFT marketplace, Ekta’s Hybrid Exchange (HYBEX), and Ekta Wallet. With all the available tools and functionality of Ekta’s blockchain mainnet, the protocol’s ecosystem empowers different partners and projects the right platform for development and profitability.

Is Ekta Safe?

Though EKTA tokens are non-mineable currencies, you cannot mine any new tokens from other sources as the mainnet already has pre-mined tokens. It entails that EKTA’s digital currency is not completely decentralized which poses a security concern. Given that, Ekta saves loads of energy due to its pre-mined token. However, users new to Ekta World should consider taking all the security measures, for instance, two-step authentication.

Why Should You Choose Ekta?

The best thing about Ekta that appeals to new users is the access to real-world assets. For instance, you can buy land and real estate in Indonesia through Ekta’s NFT Marketplace. In fact, the carbon footprint of Ekta is less than others because it has pre-mined digital tokens.

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.

 

 

The EUR50 billion global industrial cleaning product market is having a significant ecological impact. Harsh chemicals used for different kinds of cleaning are harmful to the environment and difficult to dispose of properly. SmartChem uses its patented chemical technology of intelligent fluids to provide a safer alternative to remove grease, dust and dirt with ingredients that are biodegradable and pH neutral.

To raise awareness and allow for ease of access to eco-friendly products, SmartChem is holding a token sale.

SMAC that Dirt Up

SMAC acts as the native utility token of the SmartChem platform. Unlike other tokens available on the market, SMAC is more than just a token for transactions. A part of the Change2Green campaign, it represents a holder’s desire for impact investing and working towards a cleaner and greener earth. Supporting the tokens means that individuals and firms represent:

• A commitment to a better earth.
• Sustaining the environment.
• Commitment to make a positive impact.
• Backing up the efforts of environmental NGOs.
• Raising their support of the UN’s Sustainable Development goals.

Other blockchain-based tokens only incite investors from a financial impact. While SMAC also has a monetary benefit, it has a fallback option where (even if the market value falls), it can be redeemed on the SmartChem platform in lieu of purchasing any cleaning product offered by Intelligent Fluids.

In this way, SMAC holders not only gain the opportunity to increase their wealth holdings but also use SMAC as reward vouchers. Using and holding SMAC also proves the commitment towards protecting the environment by employing eco-friendly products and a shift away from harmful and toxic chemicals.

How SmartChem Products Work?

A patented technology, intelligent fluids is a range of industrial cleaning products that are free from harmful and toxic substances usually found in traditional cleaning chemicals. It utilizes a physical cleaning effect rather than a chemical process. Instead of an aggressive chemical reaction to bind dirt and other unwanted remains, the oleophilic and hydrophilic nature of the cleaning materials means that all kinds of grease, dirt and other unwanted substances are removed without harming the surface material. At the same time, using eco-friendly ingredients makes it safer for the environment.

The SmartChem intelligent fluids can be used in a large variety of applications:

• General Cleaning: removing residue, stains and dirt from equipment, machines and floors.
• Degreasing Raw Materials: Preparing substrates for processing by removing grease, fats and oils.
• Stripping: Removing metal layers, color residues and photoresist layers.
• Adhesive Removal: Getting rid of glues, adhesives and other resins used to bind equipment, both permanent and temporary bonding.

UN’s Sustainable Development Goals Friendly

The UN has defined 17 different Sustainable Development Goals that the world has to achieve to protect itself. SmartChem products are in line with 10 of these:

• Climate action
• Clean water and sanitation
• Industry, innovation and infrastructure
• Decent work and economic growth
• Responsible consumption and production
• Good health and wellbeing
• Sustainable cities and communities
• Life below water
• Life on land
• Partnerships for the goals

Funds raised from the token sale will be used by SmartChem to develop and grow its network at a global level. The platform intends to use these funds to expand its operations in Asia, US and MENA. At the same time, it will also increase its production capacity exponentially to reach 13,500 tons per year from its existing 500.

With the project inception back in 2017, SmartChem has been the winner of numerous rewards for its innovative eco-friendly approach, including winning the BTC-TV Blockchain Stars Award and NOURYON Global Imagine Chemistry Award in 2019, Global Green Product Award for Circular Materials and Heraeus Global Accelerator Winner in 2021.

As the most recent advancement in the gaming industry, the concept of play-to-earn (P2E) gaming has garnered mainstream popularity, especially as gamers seek new income opportunities during the pandemic. Through P2E, individuals can generate passive returns while playing certain games. The concept has become so popular that scattered cases have emerged worldwide whereby players earn more than their ordinary salaries, leading to an unprecedented rise in the number of P2E games and players alike.

Among the flood of play-to-earn games, WonderHero, a recently launched P2E Mobile RPG, has turned out to be a highly profitable game for early adopters. Within just three weeks of unveiling, WonderHero players are already earning as much as $1,215 on a rolling basis since inception – exceeding the minimum salary in the United States.

In this blockchain-powered game, players can earn rare non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and then sell or trade them on a P2P NFT marketplace. Built by a team of professionals with leadership experience across some of the most prominent crypto exchanges, WonderHero maintains a balanced ecosystem where every participant gets access to income opportunities while having fun at the same time.

A Promising Revenue Source For Gaming Enthusiasts

Considering the ongoing bear market in cryptocurrencies, WonderHero offering an income opportunity averaging 1,215 USDT to its community is a clear indication that P2E gaming is set to become even more attractive over the near future.

This substantial income results from WonderHero’s ecosystem, which uses the combination of the platform’s native $WND and $HON tokens alongside NFTs. On average, each player earned a combined $WND and $HON token income of around 3.27 USDT. At the same time, the average NFT in every player’s account currently has an estimated value of 1,150 USDT.

Extremely popular across Brazil, the Philippines, Thailand, the United States, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Japan, WonderHero includes a built-in NFT marketplace as well as an ‘Earn’ section with dedicated DeFi (decentralized finance) tools. Powered by the $WND token, the WonderHero ecosystem enables players to complete battles and win in-game tokens and NFT drops. Since all in-game assets are tokenized as NFTs, players can trade them freely on the marketplace.

Within mere three weeks since its public release, WonderHero players have successfully generated over 200% ROI. Owing to the combination of unique gameplay and rewards, the platform has already amassed more than 11,000 daily active players, collectively recording a total of over 1.4 million battles played.

Based on the total user activity on the platform, the battles have generated over 22.2 million $HON tokens and 129,000 $WND for players. Meanwhile, the average NFT sale has yielded almost 51 USDT, leading to a combined NFT trading volume of $2.9 million USDT, further underlining the growing popularity of P2E games and this specific ecosystem.

According to the WonderHero team, the demand for weapons and hero skin NFTs is at an all-time high. To date, the most valuable weapon NFT was traded for 2,000 USDT, and the most expensive hero skin NFT bagged 1,999 USDT. On the other hand, equipment NFTs are moderately popular, and the highest sale price for equipment NFT is currently 400 USDT.

In addition to the in-game assets, WonderHero’s ‘Guilds’ feature and the player versus player (PvP) Arena are two of the most hyped additions designed to help drive the platform’s growth much higher. WonderHero is backed by a consortium of industry heavyweights, having already raised $1.845 million from several successful fundraising rounds ahead of its January launch.

BlockWallet has officially launched its privacy-oriented wallet for the burgeoning Web 3.0 ecosystem. This non-custodial wallet is compatible with several browsers, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave and Opera.

As per the announcement, BlockWallet will introduce privacy features for users in the DeFi market. This will enable anyone to send funds anonymously while concealing their financial status (account balances). A feature that is lacking in popular non-custodial wallets such as Metamask.

The project’s CTO Iman Hossini commented on the launch, noting that privacy is a core feature in setting the stage for the Web 3.0 economy,

“When users interact with Web3, it poses significant risks because now the financial data is also attached to the user. As we build Web3, we should not make the same errors as before but aim to create a truly private Web3 experience. BlockWallet launch is a significant step towards this goal.”

Notably, the BlockWallet ecosystem is designed for both market-savvy and new crypto users. This privacy-focused solution will enable crypto participants to avoid being tracked by potential hackers or authoritative governments. Simply put, BlockWallet conceals DeFi users’ on-chain trail hence giving back control over their data.

The wallet is able to achieve this level of functionality through cryptographic proofs and proxy integrations with privacy-built browsers such as Tor. BlockWallet’s smart contract infrastructure pools users’ funds into one pool, generating a new address for each transaction. This means that on-chain ‘analysts’ cannot track the sender’s original depositing address.

BlockWallet CEO Aleksandras Gaska was keen to emphasize the growing need to protect Web 3.0 users from privacy violations,

“In a world where privacy violations are commonplace, it is imperative to protect your privacy. However, not everyone has the skills or time to do that. I am happy that we can finally present a practical solution for the blockchain world that allows everyone and everywhere to take ownership of their privacy.”

With the DeFi ecosystem going mainstream, BlockWallet will enable participants to access multiple DApps that are hosted on smart contract blockchains such as Ethereum, Fanton, Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Avalanche. This non-custodial wallet will also integrate Metamask snap plugins to facilitate a smooth transfer of funds between the two ecosystems.

On the security front, BlockWallet underwent a rigorous beta testing round, featuring over 2,000 community members. In addition, there is an ongoing bug bounty program where white hat hackers can receive up to $150,000 depending on the vulnerabilities found. Future iterations of BlockWallet will include an enhanced security and user experience.

It is also noteworthy that BlockWallet has attracted prominent crypto investors, including X21 Digital, Wood stock, Spark Digital Capital and Four Season Ventures. The project raised $1.8 million in its private token sale round; the native $BLANK token now trading on several crypto exchanges with a market cap of $16 million as of writing.

 

And so it’s another significant feat achieved by OVRLand.

OVR (a non-fungible tokens – NFTs) metaverse has hit another milestone by minting over 778k NFTs in about six days to become arguably the biggest and most active gas burner on Polygon. Currently, OVRLand has the largest owners community, more extensive than the Metaverse incumbents like the Sandbox and Decentraland.

According to the team, OVR boasts the most active NFT community in the metaverse.

NFTs are basically digital assets that are situated on blockchain technology. Ideally, they’re a unique set of non-interchangeable tokens that offer individuals the power to own as well as fully control a digital item.

Every NFT comes with a specific digital identifier that can’t be copied, subdivided, or substituted. That way, together with the immutability that blockchain technology offers, makes NFTs valuable assets for not only certification of authenticity but also ownership.

Also, OVR is a decentralized structure for AR metaverse, whereby the physical space integrates with the digital world to come up with an excellent user experience that features unlimited possibilities.

There’ll be over 1.6 trillion OVRLands in the OVR metaverse. Every LAND measures about 300 sq. meters and has a hexagonal shape, given that the contact points between every hexagon are lateral with a similar distance always from the center.

OVR migration to Polygon Network means that now users can easily make payments, while other features have been made easy. Moreover, the transition means that Merkle Proof and minting functions have been transferred effectively from the Ethereum network to Polygon. Therefore, it means that users can mint OVRLands successfully on the Polygon Network for barely a few cents.

Interestingly, the cost of minting OVRLands is reduced by adding the Polygon Network payment to the BSC and Ethereum payment scheme in the primary market. That way, it massively lowers the cost of transactions.

Moreover, the secondary market is already up and running too. With it, users can enjoy several benefits like;

• Batch minting of every light-minted OVRLands.
• Direct NFT minting of the new primary market sales.
• Users who registered without the declaration of personal custody wallets will have an opportunity to generate one.
• The bridge of NFT from Ethereum to Polygon.

There’s much more on the cards; you just need to stay tuned!

 

2022 is shaping up to be a big year for big tech. Over recent weeks, Facebook has run into problems after the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call revealed its metaverse aspirations had caused a $10 billion hit to the bottom line. It’s hardly surprising given the lukewarm reception to its sanitized, centralized VR work meetings.

Shareholders will no doubt be worried by the fact that the firm is squaring up to Microsoft, which has spent years dominating in office applications, including its Teams app, and is now intent on launching its own enterprise-capable metaverse features.

However, this approach – to attempt to create a digital metaverse that will somehow upgrade or replace our time spent online is an odd one. Even more so, when you consider the vastly different approach being taken by rivals Google and Amazon. The most recent news from the Google camp is that the firm is hiring a “legion” of blockchain experts to help expand its business in blockchain applications.

Google’s idea seems to be to play alongside the players in the established blockchain space, an approach that has been in evidence in various moves over recent years. In 2019, the firm showcased how developers could use Chainlink oracles to bring its BigQuery data into blockchain smart contracts. The move ended up catapulting Chainlink into the top-ranking crypto projects.

Last year, the firm joined forces with Dapper Labs, the startup behind the hit NBA Top Shots. The collaboration was for Dapper Labs to use Google’s world-beating infrastructure to help scale and support the growth of the Flow blockchain, which Dapper Labs develops.

Google and Amazon Supporting Metaverse Development?

Google’s approach is similar to Amazon’s. The firm’s AWS infrastructure is widely deployed by node operators on blockchain networks. So much so that one analyst from the crypto investing arm of Andreessen Horowitz recently pointed out that “Amazon is doing more for the metaverse via node hosting than “Meta” or Microsoft will ever accomplish’ [sic].

It’s beyond question that blockchains and blockchain applications are more powerful with the backing of big tech firms. Not only do these firms have vast resources in terms of infrastructure and investment, but they also have unparalleled access to data, which can seriously level up blockchain capabilities.

Consider the afore-mentioned tie-in with Chainlink. Google’s willingness to engage with Chainlink as a middleware oracle provider demonstrated how a smart contract could receive price data from Google’s own BigQuery database. By 2021, DeFi was a booming market, powered in no small part by Chainlink’s decentralized price oracles, and the project now boasts national telecoms firms Swisscom and Deutsche Telekom among its node operating network.

Bringing AI On-Chain

Can other projects capitalize on this kind of success? While there’s currently much hype around metaverse-type projects and NFT drops, it’s more difficult to drum up excitement about infrastructural developments. But Oraichain is leveling up the blockchain oracle game with the introduction of AI. Oraichain provides a comparable service to other oracles, but with a focus on AI APIs and the quality of AI models – a kind of layer one for AI-based services and dApps.

Oraichain, an oracle service is live with its Data Hub feature already operational for AI providers. The Data Hub is a data-focused platform that offers both individuals and businesses a data marketplace, cloud services, data analytics, data request, and labeling service.

As part of Cosmos, Oraichain is already operating in an environment built around the principles of interoperability and cross-chain collaboration. It offers bridging functionality to other blockchains such as Ethereum and BSC. By bringing AI capabilities and data on-chain, Oraichain is available to support a wide variety of AI use cases, including DeFi, manufacturing, healthcare, academia, and more.

Based on the way events are panning out, it seems that we have two divergent scenarios playing out. At the front end, Facebook and Microsoft are going head-to-head against the decentralized Web3 ecosystem in a bid to secure supremacy in the user acquisition wars. However, behind the scenes, Google and Amazon are playing together with node operators and infrastructure developers to create a robust foundation of data and platforms capable of supporting the next generation of the internet.

Authtrail, the Moonbeam Network-based data integrity SaaS platform, has revealed its first invitation-only community round token event to spark even more widespread adoption of its platform. Per the Authtrail team, this community round is a one-time opportunity for investors and contributors to acquire the platform’s native $AUT token at a lower price than the upcoming public crowd sale.

Following its successful fundraising round in 2021, where it raised $3.6 million from a multitude of investors and venture capital firms, the Authtrail team aims to raise as much as $6 million from the community round by distributing 20% of the maximum supply of 150,000,000 AUT tokens. The upcoming community round empowers users to gain the first access to the AUT token at just $0.20 per token – half the issuance price of the token for the public crowd sale.

There will be two rounds in the community round event. The first round is only open to the first thousand whitelisted participants, with minimum contributions starting at $1,000 and maximum amounts capped at $5,000 per user. The second round is open to all whitelisted participants, with minimum contributions starting at $1,000. There is no upper bound for purchases during the second round, and the only ceiling is the total amount available.

Funds raised from the community round event will be used to increase mainstream adoption of Authtrail and its suite of products within global enterprises. However, the community round event is only accessible to Authtrail community members and requires whitelisting. If you’re already part of the community, you can register your account on the official website. Importantly, the community round isn’t open to residents from the United States, Canada, China, Cuba, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Singapore, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and the People’s Republic of Crimea Region of Ukraine.

Enabling Global Enterprises Leverage The Power Of Blockchain

As one of the few projects in the blockchain space able to bridge the old economy with Web 3.0, Authtrail is taking data management to a whole new level. By design, Authtrail offers a suite of blockchain-powered tools that enterprises can use in a user-friendly, intuitive, and cost-effective manner to ensure and inspect data integrity.

The Authtrail ecosystem offers a blockchain-based data integrity SaaS platform and adjacent

applications that facilitate a faster, safer, and more reliable way to verify enterprise data. At the same time, the platform also enables traceability of transactions by allowing users to track the execution of individual operations within the data generation process. As a result, it has positioned itself as an easy-to-use and highly affordable enterprise-grade SaaS solution.

To optimize their services even further, the Authtrail team recently migrated their product from Ethereum to the Moonbeam Network. Harnessing the inherent features of Moonbeam and Polkadot, Authtrail ensures fast transaction throughput, user-friendliness, and low transaction fees. Additionally, it also takes advantage of Polkadot’s embedded interoperability and shared security features, as well as Moonbeam Network’s on-chain governance, cross-chain integrations, and staking features.

Authtrail is powered by its native $AUT token, which acts as credits for executing transactions on the platform and also serves as the de facto utility token for the protocol. It is important to note that the AUT token model is deflationary. This means that when the tokens are burned after use, the total supply decreases. This, in turn, reduces the total amount of the utility token in circulation, helping bolster the value of the AUT token. As such, the community round is the most cost-effective method for community members to obtain the AUT token and join Authtrail’s journey towards becoming a go-to solution for enterprise data management.

After a steep contraction resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, sub-Saharan economies are expanding, leading to a boom in the logistics sector as the need for transportation rises. However, more than half of active vehicles in the region are inefficient 2-stroke petrol-powered motorcycles, mostly used in taxi and delivery services that drive hundreds of kilometers per day. The fuel that they burn is costly for drivers, and produces toxic CO2 and fine particulate emissions in large volumes.

Recognizing the need for cheaper and more efficient transportation solutions, Bob Eco Ltd., a rapidly-growing electric vehicle and clean energy company, entered the African markets with a line of orange-clad electric two and three-wheelers designed for the needs of taxi and delivery drivers. Since the first one hit the road in October of 2020, Bob Eco’s bikes have created a total of 2.6 jobs per bike, and saved 5  tons of CO2 emissions from being released into the atmosphere every year.

Able to save on fuel costs, drivers that make the switch to one of Bob Eco’s vehicles nearly quadruple their take-home pay on average – enabling them to support their families and equip their homes with basic necessities like running water. Further, Bob Eco provides its bikes on a lease-to-own basis, giving drivers the chance to accumulate wealth once they pay off their rides.

Being the clear choice for both drivers and the environment, Bob Eco has attracted the attention of African governments. This has already led to several partnerships at the state level, including an order for 232,000 vehicles from the Senegalese government.

In order to keep up with demand, Bob Eco signed a 200-million-dollar production deal with manufacturing juggernaut Jincheng Suzuki for annual volumes reaching 200,000 units. Bob Eco has also recently opened a manufacturing facility focused on tricycles and Tuk Tuks, popularly used for comfortably transporting voluminous goods and larger groups of people. This facility has an annual production capacity of 1,500,000. The electric vehicles produced by this facility alone have the potential to save over 1,500,000 tons of CO2 emissions by 2024.

Using the UN Environment eMob calculator, scenario calculations show that 11 billion tons of emissions could be saved by 2050 with a global shift to 90% battery-electric motorcycles. Given the rapid growth of two and three-wheelers in Africa, Bob Eco is focused on areas where it can make the greatest impact.

However, Bob Eco is not fighting only for the environment. Bob Eco also runs several social programs in Africa serving people in need. These programs include feeding hungry children nutritious meals via planting fruit trees and rearing animals, building new water sources for local communities, providing schools with scholarships and resources, and providing shelter solutions for those without any.

In an effort to do good in more places, Bob Eco launched its BobCoin (BOBC) ICO-WA on the primary market in March of 2021. A massive success, Bob Eco sold 25% of all BOBC for tens of millions of dollars to investors in over 40 countries. Bob Eco is now “going public” and beginning its second round of funding by selling BOBC on the primary market, currently accessible to retail investors via presale on the reputable www.Knaken.eu crypto platform. The expected listing valuation is $0.8 billion to $2.1 billion.
