SINGAPORE, Jan 20, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - 2021 was a huge year for the cryptocurrency market, with huge strides in growth and adoption of digital assets, NFTs, and blockchain worldwide. It was also an incredible year for Moonstake as we rose to the top rankings of global staking providers, reaching a total staking assets of $1.8 billion thanks to the support of our users and partners worldwide. As we begin the new year 2022, Moonstake as well as our strategic blockchain partners have many exciting news and programs in store for you as our platforms scale and evolve. To welcome our user community into the exciting new year, we're creating a series of articles in collaboration with our strategic partners on what you need to know about them in the year 2022, starting with Cardano (ADA).
Since August 2020, Moonstake has been a strong staking provider for ADA staking, Cardano's native cryptocurrency, as a strategic partner of EMURGO, the official commercial arm of Cardano. Recently, the group leading Moonstake's development, Infinity Blockchain Group, was acquired by EMURGO to strengthen EMURGO's strategic resources & accelerate research into the interoperability of Cardano with other blockchains.

As for Cardano, last year the blockchain underwent tremendous development updates and accomplished many great milestones. The network became fully community-governed and operated in April and launched public support of smart contracts and thus, DeFi applications in September with the launch of Plutus and the gradual rollout of the Alonzo update. In this article, we will be interviewing our partner EMURGO about what is in store for the Cardano ecosystem and its user community in 2022.

Q1 Which 2021 achievements are you the most proud of?

As mentioned, 2021 was a tremendous year for EMURGO and the Cardano ecosystem, with highlights such as the successful rollout of smart contracts to Cardano's network, a big increase in Yoroi Wallet adoption, and plans to release new EMURGO products such as Yoroi's dApp Connector which will greatly facilitate Cardano ADA user interaction with Cardano ecosystem dApps such as DeFi and NFTs.

In particular, EMURGO is proud of establishing a $100 million Cardano ecosystem investment vehicle comprising two entities - EMURGO Ventures and EMURGO Africa - to invest into early startup and growth stage companies that will build Cardano-based solutions.

EMURGO Ventures focuses on developed markets outside of Africa to facilitate the building of solutions and services on Cardano with seed investments into a variety of Cardano-focused startups and middleware solutions companies, including those building decentralized financial services (DeFi), non-fungible token (NFT) projects, blockchain developer education tools, and other decentralized applications.

EMURGO Africa's goal on the other hand is to ultimately support more than three hundred African startups through seed funding and incubation, and have Cardano's blockchain adopted as the technological platform standard in Africa for socially impactful solutions. For its launch to achieve this goal, EMURGO Africa partnered with Adanian Labs, a successful venture building studio operator in Africa, to support impact driven startups expanding the Cardano ecosystem across the continent; and Adaverse, a Cardano-focused joint accelerator program in Africa.

EMURGO's new Cardano investment vehicle will greatly enhance and support the development of socially impactful solutions utilizing Cardano's green blockchain technology, ultimately providing benefits to both developers and society.

Q2 What measures are you going to take in 2022 to further increase adoption of Cardano?

EMURGO has many exciting things in store for 2022, including the official release of Yoroi's dApp Connector, and more cool features for Yoroi to enrich the Cardano ADA user experience in a rapidly expanding Cardano dApp ecosystem.

We are also highly looking forward to cultivating the Cardano NFT ecosystem and community with the launch of our own Cardano-based NFT marketplace, Fiborite, scheduled to come soon in early 2022.

Artists and musicians are encouraged to pre-register for the launch of Fiborite by going to the official site here (https://www.fiborite.io/) and follow Fiborite on Twitter at @FiboNFT.

As a founding entity of the Cardano blockchain, EMURGO's Cardano NFT marketplace Fiborite is uniquely positioned to offer the Cardano community and global artists the chance to easily mint, buy, and sell NFTs using Cardano ADA directly on the marketplace. Those unfamiliar with NFTs will be able to easily use Fiborite's simple and user-intuitive UX to either mint, buy, or sell NFTs of their choosing.

Additionally in 2022, EMURGO will also provide DeFi services built on Cardano directly through Astarter, including decentralized exchange (DEX), IDO launchpad for token projects building on Cardano, and more to come. This will provide more liquidity and utility for Cardano ADA users and make it easier for projects to utilize Cardano.

Q3 What can users expect from Cardano in 2022?

Users can expect Cardano to continue its consistent development with new dApps and technical upgrades now that Cardano has become fully decentralized with staking rewards given and smart contracts supported. Cardano is also looking to introduce Layer-2 scaling solutions such as Hydra to increase throughput and allow easier mainstream adoption of Cardano's scalable, sustainable, and interoperable third-generation blockchain. Users can follow Cardano's development roadmap with status updates at https://roadmap.cardano.org. EMURGO will also continue to support the development of Cardano's ecosystem through solutions development, Yoroi Wallet feature upgrades, developer education courses, and investments. Please follow EMURGO on Twitter @emurgo_io to always receive the latest news.

Moonstake is proud to be strategic partners of EMURGO and the Cardano blockchain. We will continue to maintain strong support for the ever growing and developing Cardano ecosystem and hope to bring even more great value to ADA and crypto users worldwide in 2022 to help accelerate adoption of the Cardano and Moonstake ecosystems together.

London, UK, Jan 20, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Realbox is launching one of the world's first blockchain-based real estate tokenization platforms. Their technology gives retail investors the opportunity to share ownership in global real estate investments, without incurring expensive costs and going through complicated transactions.

Blockchain technology has taken the world by storm via the decentralized finance sector and also transformed the real estate sector and the way we invest in tangible assets. Through tokenization, the tangible asset can be divided into digital tokens that represents fractional ownership of the asset. These tokens would be traded securely on a blockchain ledger and are made accessible to worldwide investors. The smart contract in each token would ensure every owner receives their share of the asset's net rental income.

Realbox's blockchain-based real estate tokenization platform offers numerous advantages over traditional methods of dealing in real estate. These include increasing liquidity and transparency, enhancing security, and simplifying management. The project aims to create an ecosystem for real estate tokenization, bring together a solid combined experience in real estate development, fund management and blockchain technology. The project is the beginning of a new way to invest, own and connect to our existing and future tangible assets. Through the concept of asset tokenization, all types of investors will now be able to take part in the real estate market.

Democratizing access to real estate investment

2021 was the year Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) went mainstream. Artists, collectors and investors have found fertile ground in the blockchain space, where they can trade and speculate on the price of intangible assets. More importantly, do it seamlessly without auctioneers or any other middlemen. This is where Realbox's real estate solution comes in. With as little as $100, any user can simply purchase the fractionalized NFTs called REB NFT and be invested in the real estate market.

The vision for Realbox is to capture real estate capital growth, rental income and secure the same for other valuable assets that can be tokenized. This also includes the transaction fees and advertising traditionally associated with the management of these assets.

Globally experienced management team

The management team is combined by both traditional businesses as well as technology and blockchain development. Realbox's management team has held senior positions in multinational companies worldwide, such as CBRE, Colliers International, KPMG, etc… In addition, Realbox partners include some of the largest property developers, real estate agencies, and financial institutions in Southeast Asia, Australia, Dubai, Europe, and the USA.

A comprehensive ecosystem of services

The project is a tokenization platform that facilitates the conversion of real estate into non-fungible tokens (NFTs), before tokenizing them into security tokens which are backed by real physical assets. Realbox also provides diversified offers to investors including:

- A real estate metaverse where Realbox facilitates the creating, buying, and selling of virtual property along with a full suite of services that are provided by the Realbox ecosystem.

- A marketplace that facilitates the trading of asset-backed tokens (security tokens) including real estate and other real, physical assets. The exchange increases the tradability and liquidity of the security tokens.

- Asset Management services include property management, building operations and maintenance, facilities management, lease administration, property accounting and financial reporting, contract management and construction management.

Realbox Smart Invest is an automated, algorithm-driven platform enabled by AI to help investors select the best investment opportunities based on their risk and return profile.

Investment Management services include real estate analysis, asset selection, monitoring of existing investments, as well as portfolio strategy and implementation.

Governance and security tokens

Realbox offers two types of tokens: a utility token (REB token) and security tokens.

Governance token (REB) is the native utility token of the Realbox platform. REB is used to pay for service fees in the Realbox ecosystem including listing, subscription, transaction, borrowing fees and paying dividends. Holders can have unlimited upside potential due to high transaction fees from increasing assets under management over time. Furthermore, holders can receive a discount to purchase security tokens and earn profits from staking.

Security tokens represent a tokenized share of a property and entitles its holder to a share of profits in the property. The property could be an individual property or a portfolio of properties. The holders have the right to receive monthly rental income reports from underlying properties and a certificate of the trust agreement to represent the ownership of the security token.

The IDO is expected to be launched in Q1 2022

Since its launch in 2021, Realbox has been getting a lot of attention in the community. Eager investors will be able to purchase REB in Q1 2022. "Realbox is a pioneer in real estate tokenization through blockchain technology. We aim to become a global investment platform for real estate globally," said Dr. Alex Pham, Realbox Co-founder.

Hanoi, Vietnam, Jan 20, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Slime Royale, the NFT game project with an adorable 3D graphics style - announces to receive strategic investment and incubation support from Appota Group.

A Trustworthy Partnership To ensure the growth potential of Slime Royale

In early 2022, the NFT game project Slime Royale officially announced that it had received strategic investment and incubation support from Appota Group - one of the largest mobile game publishers in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

Although a new NFT game, Slime Royale has proven its tremendous potential by passing many rigorous appraisal rounds to receive investment and incubation support from Appota Group. A representative of the Slime Royale project said that the Appota Group's investment and companionship would help Slime Royale access Appota Group's ecosystem of more than 50 million users. Additionally, with their experience in game publishing, Appota Group will provide appropriate strategic advice to make Slime Royale reach more users worldwide.

The development team will use the investment from Appota Group to establish Slime Royale with a long-term vision, bringing blockchain technology closer to everyone and helping more people pursue their passion for enjoying the games and making money.

Fun and challenging gameplay for players

Slime Royale is a game that combines exciting gameplay and the decentralized financial model: DeFi, allowing players to both enjoy the game and earn money from their skills. Since its official announcement to the market, Slime Royale has quickly attracted the gaming community's attention thanks to its in-depth gameplay system.

Compared with other NFT games, in Slime Royale, players need to have squad arranging skills based on lineups, tactics, classes, and the game control ability to win the match. As the Slime Royale's representative shared with the community: "Games are interactive experiences, and they are ways for players to immerse themselves in a different world. Unlike a movie where you just sit down and watch, a game must give the player complete control. Slime Royale gameplay will be challenging for the players. So we intend to create a game experience that when players complete a level or mission, they can feel like they have to work for it and accomplish something. And first of all, we want to create a game that we will love and want to play."

Slime Royale has a new approach to solve the "inflation" of NFT games.

A critical issue that every game on the gamefi market is facing is the inflation of NFT price. To solve this problem and build a sustainable economic system, Slime Royale chose a new strategy: attract both play-to-earn players and pay-for-fun players.

In a traditional game, revenue from pay-for-fun players is most of the system's revenue. Players will pay directly to the game company, and trading between players is not recommended.

While with Slime Royale, the team aims to create a game that encourages pay-for-fun players to trade with play-to-earn players. Slime Royale will work as a platform, supporting players to create, own, and exchange their NFT assets.

To accomplish this mission, Slime Royale has 2 essential principles are:

All NFT items in Slime Royale must be a hard cap at a minimal quantity, which will protect the economy and the NFT Slime owners' benefit from NFT inflation.

The game must be fun and attractive to pay-for-fun players. The more exciting and engaging the game, the more players will want to play, thereby increasing the demand for NFT Slimes.

As a commitment, Slime Royale will release only 10,000 Purity Slimes - the first NFT Slimes of the game. In other words, Purity Slimes are capped at 10,000 total and guaranteed by a smart contract. All of the other NFT slimes will be created by the Purity Slime owners.

In conclusion, Slime Royale's mission is to create a fun NFT game with a balanced economic system, where all players with different purposes can enjoy the game and achieve benefits for themselves. Whether you are a Free-to-play, play-and-earn, play-for-fun, pay-for-fun, or invest-to-earn gamer, your desire will be satisfied in Slime Royale.

Paris, France, Jan 20, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Recently, CheckDot has announced the launch of its platfrom which will save the crypto industry. CheckDot is a platform where a large number of projects are listed and rated according to criteria such as age, social network verification, code quality, ease of finding information, transaction fees and many other features. Many services are publicly available right now, including the ability to request advice or perform audits on specific projects. Other services are under development, covering the entire blockchain sector.

In the speculative and disorderly world of crypto, one thing is for certain: there are lots of new projects. The crypto-currency industry will continue to grow at a rapid pace. There is no shortage of projects in the crypto-currency industry that make outlandish claims about how their project will go "to the moon".

It can be tricky trying to decide which projects are worth investing in. To make this choice, many crypto-currency enthusiasts turn to social media or the online community for opinions on various projects. Others choose to painstakingly read project white papers. Anyone with a basic understanding of blockchain technology and code can develop their own cryptocurrency. Not everyone who creates a new coin or token is doing it in good faith. Some developers create projects to steal the investor's money.

The overall problem in crypto is that no one is evaluating the validity and legitimacy of these new projects. However, a solution to this problem has emerged with CheckDot. CheckDot is a blockchain technology company that launched the first ever decentralized trust protocol in November 2021.

How CheckDot works

CheckDot performs the very important function of determining the value and legitimacy of cryptographic projects for the community. This includes smart contracts, NFTs, projects, etc. This is done anonymously to protect the privacy of users while providing access to information about certain projects.

CheckDot's mission is to help projects and companies improve trust by allowing people to anonymously validate and verify their value. Built on the Binance Smart Chain Network, CheckDot also acts as an opinion platform and collects information from several individuals on the blockchain. It then calculates and publishes this information on the official CheckDot website (www.checkdot.io). Crypto investors can see the objective evaluation and opinions about a project easily which makes doing your own research (DYOR) much quicker.

The bursting of the ICO bubble around 2018 and the many pump-and-dump projects that came and went eroded public confidence and led to a trust deficit in the market. With CheckDot, this lack of trust can be corrected.

Anyone wanting to participate in the CheckDot verification process will get rewarded and paid in CDT. CheckDot has compiled a list of many different blockchain activities: smart contract audits, KYC audits, NFT trust indexes, rare objects, anonymous forms, e-commerce pre-audit notifications, business audits, e-document audits and service trust analysis. Anyone who engages in any of these activities will receive a reward in the form of CDT tokens, CheckDot's own native token. Users are expected to hold a certain amount of CheckDot tokens and will receive more upon completion of these activities. Investors and individuals looking to participate in the verification process can purchase CDT on centralized and decentralized exchanges. More information about CheckDot can found on the official website www.checkdot.io

Make sure you protect your investment. Always look for the CheckDot score before investing in any crypto project.
