LONDON, Jan 31, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Verofax, a Smart serialization and traceability solution provider, has joined forces with children's STEM app Twin Science and LikeToBe in sponsoring a scientific expedition to Antarctica to research the effects of microplastics on life, the environment and the melting of ice caps.
Verofax, Twin Science and LikeToBe share the common aim of providing "Tech for humanity", and partnered in support of the scientific expedition to Antarctica. Polar Explorer Antony Jinman, the twelfth Briton to have skied to the geographic North Pole and skied solo to the geographic South Pole, led the expedition in December 2021, and spent 2 months in Antarctica gathering data on how microplastics are affecting the environment and wildlife.

The aim of this partnership's collaboration is to inspire young children to act responsibly by re-educating them on responsible consumption in line with UNSDG goal #12, through gamification and turning children into advocates of sustainability for influencing older generations.

Antony documented the expedition and answered children's questions in a series of interactive videos via the Twin Science app for children aged 7-12, hoping to encourage them to seek answers to questions such as "What are Microplastics, where do they come from and how does it affect life and the environment?", "What would happen to the Antarctic habitat if all the ice caps melted?" and "What can we all do as responsible individuals?"

"This expedition to Antarctica is really promising and aims to provide insights on microplastics impact on life and the environment," stated Antony. "We are happy to be partnering with Twin Science and Verofax to engage children on the expedition and the many challenges we faced to collect scientific evidence. Twin Science' in-app education and Verofax' sustainable lifestyle tracker are great vehicles to drive awareness on how to act responsibly and opt for greener choices."

Wassim Merheby, CEO of Verofax, explained, "Our solution enables transparency and auditability on consumer goods' sustainable credentials. Sustainable brands can now engage with consumers and retailers and upsell their certified "Green" range of products, while retailers and consumers are empowered to check and validate product lifecycle assessment before purchasing, interact with the product and advocate sustainable brands among peers. We believe this process begins naturally with sustainable education for youth, and as gamification which is a very powerful medium."

Asude Altintas, CEO and co-founder of Twin Science, says "This is a new approach to education. First, it excites us immensely to bring young 'Twinners' through our Twin Science app, along for this incredible journey to Antarctica and have them overcome challenges with Antony in real-time. Secondly, with Verofax, we want to not just tell, but show children how real climate change is, and that they themselves can take action to combat this.

"In the Twin app, all our content aims to show children how to use STEM for good, and we believe this is a great opportunity to do so. To date, we have had over 500,000 children use our STEM kits and STEM apps or attend our STEM workshops, and we have seen them use their know-how to invent earthquake detectors, reforestation robots, or ocean cleaning ships. We hope that what they experience on this journey will inspire them to revert the effects of climate change one day."

Prof Dr Ger Graus OBE, the Project and Education Advisor to this partnership, explained, "As someone who is a firm believer in introducing children to the wonderful role models who provide inspiration and aspiration, I am confident in this partnership's ability to have true social, environmental, and sustainable impact."

Cryptocurrencies and the meals trade may not look like essentially the most intuitive pairing — one based mostly within the digital realm and the opposite firmly rooted within the bodily.

In the last few years, several crypto futures and derivatives platforms have exploded into the mainstream crypto domain. This has provided traders and investors with an excellent opportunity to have different choices as per their goals.  Below, we have mentioned a list of the best cryptocurrency exchanges and derivative platforms for buying and selling digital assets. Continue reading to discover the best options for you. However, before that let’s understand the term derivative trading.  Derivative Trading  A contract or product whose price is determined by an underlying asset is referred to as a derivative. Derivative assets include currencies, exchange rates, commodities, stocks, and the rate of interest. The customer and vendor of such contracts can make predictions about the long-term value of their transactions. Each party bets on the future price of the underlying assets to benefit. Derivative Trading in Crypto Any cryptocurrency token can be used as the underlying asset in the trading of crypto derivatives. Two parties sign into a money contract to speculate on the value of a cryptocurrency at a later period. Throughout the contract’s first phase, the perimeters agree on a selling/buying value for the cryptocurrency on a particular day, regardless of its value. As a result, investors will take advantage of fluctuations in the underlying asset’s value by purchasing the currency at a lower price and selling it at a higher price. The Most Popular Types Of Derivatives In Crypto Futures: A futures agreement is a legal contract between two parties to acquire or sell an underlying asset at a specific price and date in the future. The contract is effectively implemented on a standardized exchange. Options: A trader with a contract has the option, but not the obligation, to acquire or sell underlying benefits at a specified future date and price. Perpetual contracts: Unlike futures and options, perpetual agreements do not have a settlement or an expiration date. Traders will keep their positions open forever in certain conditions (for example, if the account holds a particular amount of a cryptocurrency). Swaps: A swap is a contract between two parties to exchange money flows at a later period according to a set of rules. They’re similar to forwards in that they’re unlisted (over-the-counter) contracts that don’t appear to be traded on exchanges. Top Crypto Derivative Platforms Now that we know enough about derivative trading, let’s take a look at four great platforms that offer participants various aspects and benefits for their trading experience.   Binance Futures  When it comes to trading, traders have a tremendous number of options with Binance. The top platform not only provides spot dealing, but also allows users to engage in the margin, options, and futures trading 24/7. Buying and selling cryptocurrency has never been easier or more accessible than it is now. It has become one of the most liquid derivatives exchanges in the industry due to its large selection of trading pairs.  Traders can always anticipate their buy and sell orders to be filled quickly and without having to worry about slippage. Another appealing feature of Binance Futures is its extremely cheap cost structure, which ranges from 0.000% to 0.017%. It offers a generously wide range of leverage for accounts with balances ranging from $0 to $50,000, allowing any trader to expand their portfolio regardless of their account balance. What’s even more exciting is the opportunity to make money regardless of the market’s direction. SynFutures SynFutures is a platform that allows traders to exchange derivatives in a centralized and open manner. Furthermore, it enables them to create their markets by constructing their own synthesized contracts on a wide range of assets, including Ethereum compatible assets, cross-chain assets, and off-chain assets. Synthetic assets are a brand-new feature in DeFi. Simply put it this way, they represent a quality such as a stock, bond, currency, cryptocurrencies, options, futures, NFTs, and interest rates, and trading them on a platform like SynFutures means that all contracts, both existing and newly synthesized, have deep liquidity, and users don’t have to worry about holding and storing the underlying assets. It is a blessing in disguise for individuals who haven’t had to go through the arduous process of enrolling and onboarding with a variety of exchanges and hence owning wallets. ByBit Exchange ByBit Exchange is an excellent platform for experienced cryptocurrency traders looking for a platform with more advanced features. There are a lot of simple exchanges available right now with simple interfaces to help new investors get started in the crypto market, but they’re usually not suitable for serious traders.  With a fully-featured platform that provides spot swap, derivatives trading, and margin trading with up to 100x leverage, ByBit alleviates the stress of the discerning crypto trader. The advanced charting interface is incredibly detailed and packed with options, but it’s still easy to use. ByBit … Continued
