Polygon and Reddit founders launch Web 3.0 funds

0

Polygon and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian want to support the expansion of social media and game development in Web 3.0. To do this, they are launching a $ 200 million fund.

The transition to Web 3.0 is reminiscent of David versus Goliath: On the one hand there are monopolists such as Meta, on the other there are decentralized niche projects that want to put control in the hands of the user.ย To rectify the imbalance and give Web 3.0 projects start-up support, theย Polygon teamย and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian set up a Web 3.0 fund with US $ 200 million.

If the Web 1.0 was still a collection of HTML pages, the age of communication and interaction dawned in Web 2.0. Corporations like Facebook built up huge network monopolies and made good money for the business of passing on data to advertising partners. Web 3.0 aims to remedy this problem. Social networks in which users retain control over data: That is the vision of the โ€œnewโ€ Internet. With the fund, the development should get an initial spark.

Web 3.0 is still a long way off

The aim of the fund is therefore to โ€œsupport the projects at the interface of social media and Web3 in order to research better ways of connecting people online,โ€ the press release said . The vision behind this would be โ€œthat a better version of the Internet is possible that gives users more power than the platformsโ€. Web 3.0 is thus also an answer to โ€œthe current version as it is represented by the giants of social mediaโ€ and which โ€œstrayed too far from the open source ideals of the early webโ€.

At least according to the idea. So far, Web 3.0 has been more of a wishful thinking. Projects suitable for the masses: Nothing. The fund is now supposed to take care of that, initially focusing on the development of social networks and games. Reddit co-founder Ohanian said: โ€œWe are still in the early days of Web 3.0, and the most obvious opportunities are currently in the area of โ€‹โ€‹games and social networksโ€. Corresponding platforms โ€œthat are based on polygons of scalable infrastructureโ€ are to be funded.

Mobox: MoMoVerse – DeFi became GameFi, now becoming a gaming universe

Out of all the GameFi products on the market, this is one that has been building and growing its ecosystem consistently since its launch in April. Donโ€™t expect anything like an MMO yet, but it also seems like everybody is making virtual worlds nowadays.

World of Sipheria – SIPHER is coming, NFTs are here, but no game yet

We expect to hear a lot more about the World of Sipheria next year. For now the availability of two NFT collections will have to do. Each of the characters in these collections will become playable characters in the full game. On December 6th the team will have a public token sale on their website, so be sure to check that out if you want to be early.

NFT in a VR environment enables a real-world experience with creativity & expression, facilitates socialization and the acceptance of feelings.

Pros and Cons of NFT Games

NFT is the scarce unique digital asset that has the opportunity for appreciation.

NFT-based video games like Axie Infinity have become more mainstream as emerging and established developers launch their NFT-based game titles. These games can provide a fun escape from reality. 

Advantages of NFTs

A Solution for Licensing Digital Creations: NFTs cannot simply be duplicated or copied indefinitely. Each of them is associated with a different value, as each non-fungible token exists in a decentralized digital ledger based on blockchain technology.

Possibility of Profiting from Digital Assets: Monetization is another potential benefit of NFT. Converting digital items into digital assets essentially means assigning them a monetary value. The early stage of non-fungible tokens is the monetization of digital works of art.

Various internet memes have also become digital assets, such as the viral video clip Charlie Bit My Finger, the Disaster Girl meme, the Nyan Cat YouTube video, and the popular Doge meme, which sold for $ 4 million in June 2021.

Collectibles, Fundraisers, and Games: Physical collectibles like baseball and NBA cards have become digital assets by generating their digital equivalents and displaying them with non-fungible tokens. The tokenization of these in-game assets can also form the basis for developing play-to-earn video games.

Investing and Trading Non-Fungible Tokens: The conversion of digital files into non-dispensable digital assets leads to delivery restrictions. Whatโ€™s more interesting? You can actually never play the game and still make money from NFT items.

As an example, the digital collectible โ€œCryptoPunk # 3100โ€ was first sold for $ 2,127 in 2017, when it was sold to another collector in 2021, the original collector made more than $ 7.5 million in return for the investment.

DISADVANTAGES OF NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS

NFT Hype and Concerns Over Uncertainty: Those who have bought NFT-minted digital assets believe that what they have is an investment. However, the current craze for buying these assets has led several experts to liken the phenomenon of an economic bubble that would eventually collapse in NFT investments. Of course, several non-fungible tokens have proven their worth and growth potential, but there is still scope for over-speculation and herding in NFT investments.

Environmental Issues of Blockchain Technology: A notable disadvantage of NFT is that the underlying blockchain technology that underpins its development, has a significant impact on the environment. Remember, the world still relies on fossil fuel consumption to generate electricity.

FAQs About NFT Games

Q1. How to enter the gaming space?

The new crypto paradigm allows players to invest time and /or money in securing NFT items within the game. You keep these items in your inventory or your NFT wallet, and as more people join the game, the demand for these items increases and you can sell them again for real currency. With gamers playing games on mobiles, consoles, and PCs both online and offline, the revenue generated from these NFTs goes towards funding the gameโ€™s play-to-earn feature.

Q2. What are Crypto wallets?

A crypto wallet is a place where you can keep your crypto assets safe. There are many different types of crypto wallets, however, the most popular are hosted wallets, non-custody wallets, and hardware wallets.

Q3. What are in-game transactions?

In-game transactions refer to items or points that a player can purchase to use in the virtual world to improve a character or enhance the playing experience. These in-game purchases are the primary means by which free-to-play games generate revenue for their creators.

The Conclusion: What NFT Game Should You Play or Invest In?

The above-listed NFT games have effectively merged into the gaming industry like a puzzle piece. Because theyโ€™re highly entertaining and lucrative, gamers enjoy some of their favorite game genres while also participating at the forefront of the current NFT craze. 

As of 2021, global crypto ownership rates have hiked at an average of 3.9%, with over 300 million crypto users worldwide.

According to study research, 38% of them are millennials aged between 21-38 years old, and they are the biggest age group.

NFT video games are a relatively new concept and people have been jumping onto the crypto bandwagon, mainly due to the good returns they guarantee in the real world. Scarcity, proven ownership, and the ability to transfer the assets to another player make it more demanding.

With the growing interest of billionaire investors and retail traders, there is an immense potential for cryptocurrencies to become more involved in the gaming industry.

There are many games in development in 2021 and a few are already on the market. 2022 has already planned several games for release. So, anyone who is currently in this space has an early mover advantage. It gets rid of the middlemen and brings us one step in the direction of the future.

Mobox to launch MoMoverse on Binance Ecosystem

0

Since first launching in April of 2021, Mobox has continued to expand their offerings of play to earn games and gameified staking. Recently updating their homepage with a map-based interface, Mobox announces the first phase of its MoMoverse, launching on the Binance ecosystem (only available through the Binance app).

Mobox began small, as a simple decentralized finance (defi) site with rewards in the form of cutesy NFTs that you could stake to earn more MBOX tokens. Since then they have expanded tremendously, adding several new mobile-oriented games centered around their MoMo NFTs and streamlining their defi options. But not content to stop there, Mobox just announced the first phase of the Mobox MoMoverse! Running on the Binance ecosystem, registrations began on November 30th, 2021 for their avatar-based, play to earn, daily quest system.

In the MoMoverse, the playersโ€™ avatars and MoMo companions function as a personal node on the โ€˜MOBOXchainโ€™ network. The MoboxChain will be an NFT POS blockchain network, that is controlled and governed by the game assets players own! The Mobox NFTs act as a personal node on the blockchain, allowing for lightning fast transactions. The MoboxChain has not yet launched. Until it does, the Mobox platform will continue running on the Binance Smart Chain.

How do I get started?

Until then, players access the MoMoverse through the official Binance app. Once youโ€™re in the app, drag down from the homepage to access the Marketplace and click on the Mobox logo to enter the MoMoverse! After creationg a MoMoverse account, each player receives a unique avatar representative. Players can mine MBOX with their avatar and stake MBOX for mystery boxes.

Mystery boxes contain MoMos which increase your hashpower, allowing you to mine even more MBOX tokens! In addition, to celebrate the launch, Mobox is hosting a giveaway of 5000 Mystery Boxes! Each referral to the MoMoverse provides one ticket and the drawing will be held on December 6th, 2021. December 6th also marks the launch of the MoMoWorld Alpha. During alpha players will be able to test the MoMoWorld game and receive MBOX rewards. Once the open Alpha is complete, the official version will launch, including an NFT marketplace. The app lists two other games, Block Brawler and Chainz Arena, but itโ€™s unclear when these two games will be available.

What is Mobox?

Mobox is a play to earn gaming ecosystem with a bit of decentralized finance on the side. The ecosystem offers several free to play games, but the main action requires owning one or more MoMo NFTs. MoMos are cute, box-shaped critters that can assist you in play to earn games like Token Master and Block Brawler. But they can also be put to work, mining MBOX tokens. Each MoMo has a hashpower that determines how much MBOX it can mine each day. With various upgrade options via MoMo merging and adding special gems, players can increase the hashpower of their MoMos and thus increase their daily earnings.

Players acquire new MoMos and upgrades through an in-app lottery system, or by purchasing them on the market.

Mobox supports and runs its own internal marketplace where players can buy and sell NFTs and upgrade items. With plans to expand onto their own chain. Mobox continues to build upon an already successful platform.

Mobox supports its own, fully integrated token, MOBOX (MBOX). Players earn MBOX by staking MBOX/BNB LPs, putting MoMos to work in the mines, and playing games.

This Saturday night, November 27, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, unified lightweight champion Teofimo โ€œThe Takeoverโ€ Lopez has everything to lose as he accepts the challenge of George โ€œFerociousโ€ Kambosos Jr. It has been over a year since Lopez added the WBA Super World Lightweight title and WBO World Lightweight title to his collection with his IBF World Lightweight title.

Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jr. FIght Preview

The stage is set for Kambosos (19-0-0, 10 KO) to make his first challenge for a major world title, and he has the opportunity to be the unified champion. From his perspective, thereโ€™s nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Fighting out of Australia, Kambosos has taken down every boxer heโ€™s faced. His record has survived split-decision results in his last two fights, a slight blemish by the judges on his resume of dominance. Internationally, heโ€™s held the WBA Oceania Lightweight title before and successfully defended it. Still, this is the biggest opportunity of his career at 28 years old. Heโ€™ll have a slight size advantage of fewer than two inches at 5โ€™9.5โ€, but his reach is half-an-inch shorter than that of his opponent Lopezโ€™s 68.5โ€ reach.

Just 24 years old, Lopez (16-0-0, 12 KO) claimed the lightweight division last October after earning a unanimous decision victory over Vasyl Lomachenko in Las Vegas. Just 10 months before that, Lopez had earned his first major world title, the IBF World Lightweight, with a TKO of Richard Commey at Madison Square Garden. Born in Brooklyn, Lopez has practically established a second home in The Garden, where heโ€™s won six fights.

With two knockout boxers, it wonโ€™t be surprising if Saturday nightโ€™s fight ends in fireworks.ย Per DraftKings Sportsbookย on Saturday morning, Lopez was favored -250 to win by KO, TKO, or disqualification. Kambosos, on the other hand, was +1000 to be victorious by any of those three methods.

Shiba Inu cracks a million users – despite the red numbers

0

The hype about the Memecoin Shiba Inu continues, although the course is on the downside: there are now over a million users.

The Memecoin Shiba Inu (SHIB) has succeeded in reaching a new milestone in adoption by crossing the one million mark. This is strange in that the SHIB course has been down for weeks. It is currently trading around 50 percent below its all-time high. However, the announcement of reaching the million mark on Twitter caused a short-term spike. Edward Snowden’s critical assessment of Shiba Inu and its Memecoin colleagues also apparently could not prevent the increased demand.

But the price is by no means the only parameter for Shiba Inu’s popularity. On November 23, the Bitfinex crypto exchange approved SHIB with Tether (USDT) -paired perpetual contracts for trading .

The dog currency is also finding its way into a South Korean stock exchange. There, Korbit is the first Korean exchange to list Shiba Inu. This means that the token is once again competing with Dogecoin. DOGE is currently the only memecoin that can be traded on the four major exchanges that are still legally operating in South Korea: Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone and Korbit. As a reminder, forty exchanges that failed to register with the Financial Intelligence Unit had to close in September. As early as June, several exchanges started removing high-risk altcoins from the list.

Shiba Inu and Dogecoin are in a head-to-head race

This makes SHIB one of the most popular memecoins ever, only behind DOGE. However, Shiba Inu even overtook Dogecoin at its all-time high. Both now rank among the top 15 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Inspired by DOGE, SHIB itself has many copycat coins. In total there are over 19 cryptocurrencies with โ€œShibaโ€ in their name. The Dogecoin meme also shows a dog of this breed.

Avalanche Price Prediction: AVAX crash to 108, will it reach 250$ in 2021

0
  • The price has risen by more than 95% over the past month
  • Although it’s currently down by around 4% over the last 24 hours
  • THE Avalanche cryptocurrency has attracted the attention of investors, boosting its value for the month of November.

AVAX price has seen a massive upswing over the last month, pushing its market value into the triple-digit territory. While Avalanche undergoes a short-term retracement, the upside is likely to improve if the bulls hold critical levels. A breakdown of the $97.38 support level will invalidate the bullish thesis.

But since the last day market crash to which people often say “Its was not a crash, it was a part of Black Friday Sale”, AVAX also responded to the market and dropped towards 102$ price with a quick recovery at 112$.

AVAX Price Prediction: Social Media Data by Lunarcrush statistics

Social Volume Rank: 66th (Down 23)

Social Engagement Rank: 62nd (Down 37)

The dapp platform is making some changes and in turn inviting developers in droves to come participate on the platform. The result is a series of upward bursts propelling the AVAX coin to new all-time highs. In turn, bulls are seeking out AVAX price predictions to see how much higher the coin can head in the future.

AVAX Price Predictions: Where Is Avalanche Headed With Newfound Popularity?

The network is also climbing the charts in terms of market capitalization, with its current $16 billion market cap making it the thirteenth-largest crypto network in the world.

The price of Avalancheโ€™s AVAX coin is seeing a new all-time high today, topping out at about $81. As it continues to surge, investors are curious about the future. Letโ€™s take a look at some AVAX price predictions to see whatโ€™s next in store for the coin:

  • DigitalCoin thinks AVAX still has plenty left in the tank to carry it past $100 in 2021. The siteโ€™s year-end price target for AVAX is $132.
  • CoinPriceForecastโ€™s year-end prediction is not quite as optimistic, expecting AVAX prices to reach $88.50.
  • The Economy Forecast Agency expects AVAX to see a price of $117.60 by the end of 2021. Its November 2022 prediction targets a value of $181.

Avalanche price predictions

The price of Avalanche is currently sitting at $127.65, according to CoinMarketCap.

It comes after it reached a record high of $144.88 yesterday, November 22.

Ava Labs recently announced a partnership with Deloitte, which has added fuel to its current price run.

The soaring value means it’s now competing with Dogecoin for the 10th spot in a list of cryptocurrencies arranged by market cap.

How the cryptocurrency’s value will change in the future is impossible to say for certain, but a value of $150 isn’t that far off.

Plenty of crypto sites have also made predictions of where the price will end up in the future.

For example, Wallet Investor expects the cryptocurrency to be worth $251.081 in a year’s time while it could soar to $724.457 in five years.

In comparison, Coin Price Forecast forecasts a value of $262 by the 2021 year-end.

The price could soar to $683 by the end of 2022 and $1,771 by the end of 2025, the site predicts.

It’s important to note that these predictions will likely change if the value of Avalanche crashes or soars in the near future.

JPMorgan says “Ethereum is a better investment than Bitcoin”

0

The US bank JPMorgan comes to the conclusion in a recent analysis that Ethereum is superior to Bitcoin in many respects.

JPMorgan analystsย recently released a report on cryptocurrencies and their respective growth potential,ย according to consistent media reportsย .ย The advantages and capabilities of Bitcoin are certainly recognized in it.ย However, the experts clearly see Ethereum as the leading crypto currency in the coming years.ย Bitcoin is still clearly ahead in terms of market capitalization.ย However, if interest rates rose, the tide could turn in Ethereum’s favor, the analysts said:

The rise in bond yields and the possible normalization of monetary policy are putting pressure on Bitcoin as a form of digital gold, just as higher real returns have put pressure on traditional gold

say the analysts at JPMorgan. If interest rates rise, investing in an asset that has stable value, the note says. The ever-increasing share of NFTs, gaming and stable coins on the crypto market makes a diversified portfolio more attractive. This is safer than betting solely on Bitcoin, which still has a reputation for great volatility.

JPMorgan anticipates Ethereum compliance with Bitcoin

Furthermore, the analysts at JPMorgan have of course also taken a close look at the price development of the two largest crypto currencies. They come to the conclusion that Ether has consistently performed better than Bitcoin year-on-year. The numbers for 2021 alone show a great advantage for Ethereum. If you compare the performance of both digital assets side by side, you can see that Ethereum is up more than 500 percent this year. With Bitcoin it was around 96 percent. 

If this trend continues, Ethereum could very well outperform Bitcoin’s market capitalization in the next five years, according to the experts.ย Aย report publishedย by JPMorganย aboutย four weeksย ago saw the โ€œfair valueโ€ for Bitcoinย at only USD 35,000.ย

The game reminds us a bit of Sid Meierโ€™s Pirates!, but than enhanced with a play-to-earn economy thanks to the CPR token. In order to set sail in beta. A savvy pirate needs to buy a pack of either Captain, Officer, or Soldier, in descending rarity. Each pack includes a ship, crew member(s), and a shovel to dig up your treasure.

Mines of Dalarnia

DAR token launch on Binance

Mines of Dalarnia has already attracted tens of thousands of players, but they havenโ€™t even really started yet. Their native DAR token can be farmed by staking BNB or BUSD in the Binance Launchpad. Tip! Mines of Dalarnia is a mining adventure game, as players race against time to mine exotic materials in hostile environments. They then use those materials to upgrade their equipment and abilities.

Neon District

Long-awaited and never forgotten

We can see Neon District as an oldschool blockchain gaming project, revived on the Polygon sidechain. Itโ€™s very likely that Blockade Games will give Trophy and Key holders early access to the V2 of Neon District in November, as the public version will also release this year. The End of Days expansion will add more items, more content, and the team is working on additional modes and of course campaigns. Neon District already has play-to-earn mechanics, but Blockade Games will add a lot more to it.

NiftyVille

Grand Theft Auto, the NFT experience

Onessus promised to very soon launch a first version of NiftyVille, but they didnโ€™t announce a date yet. However, they do have the exotic car sale coming up and the VIP passes for that are also on the market. So why did we add NiftyVille to this list? Because we have serious hopes to see something from this game in the coming weeks. Teasers on social media suggest that development has already progressed quite a lot. The roadmap promises a pre-alpha release in Q4 2021. With Christmas coming up, it makes more sense to do this pre-alpha release a few weeks before Christmasโ€ฆ so by the end of November. Fingers crossed!

How bitcoin bonds are changing the bond market

0

With the Bitcoin bonds, El Salvador is launching a completely new financial product. Can it work?

The bond market is in a precarious position.ย Fixed-income bonds hardly ever yield anything;ย Anyone who invests in safe government bonds such as federal bonds can even expect a negative return.

But with the new asset class that Blockstream CSO Samson Mow presented at the closing event of Bitcoin Week in El Salvador, at which BTC-ECHO was live, the investment market could change forever. We are of course talking about Bitcoin Bonds.

The Salvadoran state plans to issue government bonds worth one billion US dollars as early as next year.ย Half of it is toย flowย into the financing of theย Bitcoin Cityย megaprojectย .ย President Nayib Bukele wants to exchange the other 50 percent directly for BTC.ย And this is exactly where the crux lies.ย Because one half of the billion-dollar bond is supposed to secure the other half.ย The BTC with a total value of 500 US dollars thus serve as a kind of collateral for the bond.

Bitcoin dividends boost bonds

The bond structure is also special.ย In addition to a fixed return of 6.5 percent, investors receive a โ€œboostโ€, the so-called Bitcoin dividend, after five years.ย The liquidity that is supposed to fund the Bitcoin dividend comes from the sale of the originally purchased BTC holdings.ย Assuming that digital gold is worth more in five years than it is today, El Salvador can amply boost its bonds.

Bitcoin City

Since the bonds are issued on the Liquid Sidechain, the third-party risk is also excluded. Interest payments can be automated via smart contracts. Blockstream’s press release states:

With the Bitcoin bond, special dividends are paid out annually, which arise from the staggered liquidation of Bitcoin. The dividends are simply paid out to the bondholders via Blockstream’s Asset Management Platform (AMP).

Blockstream

With the BTC bonds, El Salvador is taking another step towards integrating the largest decentralized money network in the world. Bitcoin City may be an ambitious, if not overambitious, project. If this can be financed somehow, then with BTC bonds.
