THE LAUNCH OF HELICONNFT

At Blockchain World Abu Dhabi we witnessed the launch of a new era of online and blockchain gaming, the launch of HeliconNFT.  Placing the power back into the hands of the gamer, HeliconNFT is a new vision of how a DeFi, NFT and gaming platform should be.  HeliconNFT is a new online universe, combining a gaming Metaverse with an NFT buying & trading platform that provides real rewards where you can play, mine and earn to become the master of a new market.  Alongside the platform launch was the launch of Helicon Studio and Helicon Media, new wave content and information outlets designed to provide exceptional quality viewer content alongside industry-leading experiences.

At the launch HeliconNFT announced global partnerships with UK-based Bad Fox Studios and Fundamentally Games, met as HeliconNFT held recent discussions with the UK's gaming and interactive entertainment trade association Ukie, to provide custom gaming options for future players and integrate existing gaming greats into the platform.

BLOCKCHAIN AND THE FUTURE OF THE UAE

The UAE has always been a visionary throughout the last 50 years, driving innovation across both the region and the world.  Both Abu Dhabi and Dubai have been blockchain and fintech enthusiasts, aiming to save millions of hours of manpower whilst providing a more efficient, safer and greener form of government and administration, alongside providing key business drivers, such as the SCA and DWTCA agreement on crypto asset licensing, and investing in all things cryptoverse and metaverse.  Most recently, Mubadala Investment Company announced their interest in the crypto eco system, with CEO and Managing Director Khaldoon Al Mubarak stating an interview with CNBC, “I think it (crypto) is real. This is a business that had $200 billion worth of value two years ago, and is $2.5 trillion value today and growing. So while many people are sceptics, I do not fall in that category.”

Since 2013 when the “Smart Dubai Initiative” was first introduced by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai to transform Dubai into a smart city, his aim was to provide better quality of life to all by harnessing future tech, which we see now in the Dubai, Blockchain Strategy 2020 and Emirates Blockchain Strategy.

About DCS 2021

The Global Distributed Cloud Storage Summit (DCS 2021) will be held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Centre in the UAE on 15-17th December 2021. This meeting will gather relevant government departments, notable blockchain industry experts, industry investment institutions, related academic and research institutions, star project parties, and other parties together. This conference will provide the distributed storage industry with more policies, financial support, and a more significant influx of human resources.

About CloudTech

Headquartered in the United Arab Emirates with a subsidiary in Australia, CloudTech Group is the leader in Fintech and one of the world's leading blockchain technology groups, providing services covering every aspect of the blockchain industry. Our services range from cooperation with governments to technical research and legal and compliance consulting. In an effort to help establish the blockchain industry's ecosystem, we have formulated a complete industrial layout plan to explore the underlying blockchain technology.

-  Sekuritance (https://www.sekuritance.com/), the first multi-dimensional RegTech ecosystem delivering compliance-as-a-service, today announced the completion of a successful Initial Dex Offering (IDO) for Aimedis (https://aimedis.io/). Aimedis partnered with Sekuritance to launch their $AIMx token on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) on November 25th, 2021 via the Sekuritance portal, leading to an 3x oversubscription from its initial $200,000 USD raise amount.

Aimedis, the eHealth platform based on blockchain technology, plans to revolutionize the medical world by introducing the world's first healthcare platform with an integrated medical and scientific NFT marketplace. The platform will be complemented by the $AIMx native token, which will be launched with Sekuritance's blockchain regulatory solution support. The platform will ultimately guide and direct patients and caregivers into a medically approved social network, helping them avoid fake news by enclosing data in closed loops with hospitals, research facilities, pharma companies and AI companies for transparency and convenience. Additionally, it will offer a new revenue stream while transforming how medical data is gathered, distributed, evaluated and monetized. 

 “This was the first, but definitely not the last of IDO Public Sales for Aimedis that we helped promote to hundreds of participants, helping them reach their hard cap within just a couple of hours for the public sale of $AIMx,” said Jonathan Camilleri Bowman, CEO of Sekuritance. “I would say this was a foot in the right direction for Sekuritance's journey into the world of IDOs.” 

The $AIMx token will enable governance on future decisions within the platform, social and medical metaverse and the NFT Marketplace. Two percent of the total existing $AIMx tokens will be burned five years following the initial IDO via the Sekuritance platform. After five years, decentralized governance will decide about the continuation of the burning program. 

Aimedis concurrently completed an Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) via ProBit Global, which similarly sold out in record time.

“We are proud, happy and thankful to announce that both the IDO and IEO closed successfully, selling out all rounds in no time; and the IDO with Sekuritance was oversubscribed multiple times,” said Michael J. Kaldasch, Founder and CEO of Aimedis. “We are glad to have such a dedicated and great community behind us.”

While Sekuritance delivers compliance, regulatory transactions monitoring and identity management to individuals and business corporations, it has only recently released its platform. Since then, its compliance-as-a-service solution has already helped launch 25+ public sales, 40+ private sales and has verified over $70M utilizing it's KYC/AML Sekur.Transact engine, the proprietary compliance technology working to integrate Sekuritance technology with third-party launchpads. The Aimedis (AIMx) launch was the first launchpad that Sekuritance aided solely, without a third-party launchpad, helping the token pretty much launch itself by utilizing their compliance ecosystem.

About Aimedis

Aimedis - an eHealth platform based on blockchain technology, which has been developed since 2017 and released in the current version 2020 for web, iOS and Android. Aimedis combines all relevant eHealth applications such as health records, video chat with doctors, appointments, prescriptions, second opinions, wearables, medical social media communication, eLearning, a unique medical and scientific-pharmaceutical NFT marketplace, while displaying all relevant operations in a private blockchain, visible and transparent for the patient. The Aimedis platform also contains dedicated tools for professionals like the Aimedis Virtual Hospital information system and online rehab, integrating VR/AR into the process of rehabilitation.

The project developers leveraged the blockchain to build a nostalgic metaverse where players can experience some old-fashioned fun battling with dragons and demons. The game seeks to bring back the thrill and difficulty of fighting daunting enemies, as in old console games.

Players get a sense of accomplishment for battling and defeating resilient enemies and making money in the process. They can also level up their characters to increase their chances of defeating the adversaries and buy/sell NFTs on the in-built marketplace.

ChainColosseum introduces an innovative blockchain-powered virtual world with an attractive rewards model, sustainable tokenomics, and a long-term vision. The dev team hopes that their next-generation game can empower users worldwide to re-discover some memories while grabbing an opportunity to earn lucrative profits.

The ChainColosseum Double Token System

ChainColosseum utilizes a two token system in which native $COLOS and $SKILL cryptocurrencies make up the gaming world's economy.

$COLOS is the governance token for the ChainColosseum ecosystem. It serves as the medium via which players can level up their characters and create NFT items such as weapons and accessories. Each NFT confers an avatar owner with special powers and abilities that helps them defeat enemies and earn optimal rewards.  

The second token, $SKILL, serves as the in-game currency through which players can enhance their character, making them more likely to win duels.

There are two ways to strengthen characters using $SKILL. The first option, the 'Wallet Boost,' allows users to upgrade their character simply by holding $SKILL. The second option dubbed, 'Skill Boost', allows players in the metaverse to enhance their characters directly. Skill Boosts are ten times more effective than wallet skill boosts. 

The ChainColosseum integrates a three-round battle system in which users take part in several rounds of fighting using a single stamina point.

The first two rounds offer gamers $SKILL tokens, while the third round gives fighters the precious $COLOS as a reward. Gamers who utilize weapons with higher stars have a better chance of winning the third round and getting more rewards!

How to Access $COLOS and $SKILL Tokens

The ChainColosseum project offered 990,000 $SKILL tokens to early-bird investors in the pre-sale at a rate of 1 $SKILL per USD. Investors who missed out in the initial sale have a chance to bag $SKILL tokens in Giveaway campaigns held on Twitter.

50% of the BNB raised during the initial sale went into the ApeSwap liquidity pool, with 20% going to the Buyback function for $COLOS tokens. The remaining funds were distributed to the marketing, founder, and development wallets.

$COLOS, the main token of the game, was not offered during the pre-sale. Investors can access the coin by swapping $SKILL tokens into $COLOS after holding for 25 days. The project backers have also added the $COLOS-$BNB LP to ApeSwap, making it available for purchase by gamers/investors everywhere. 

$COLOS holders can stake their tokens to shorten combat time and quickly re-engage in new battles for a chance to bag more rewards. They can also design 'Bosses,' the most formidable opponents in the gaming metaverse. Boss creators earn extra rewards whenever their character defeats a player.

A Unique Token Allocation System

One of the main features that sets ChainColosseum apart from rival blockchain games is its unique token allocation designed to benefit the community in the long term. 

The project's smart contract reserves 100% of the token allocation to the AMM, guaranteeing no selling pressure from the management team after the initial listing.

The team's premise is that they do not seek excessive profits and will only take a small portion of the presale funds for project developments and labor costs. The project backers have bought back their tokens and do not hold any free tokens, eliminating any chance to dump their holdings.

ChainColosseum is a community-driven development project that encourages members to interact and share ideas. The best way to get in touch with community managers is via Telegram. Users can also connect with the broader community and learn about the gaming ecosystem and future phases via Twitter, Facebook, and Medium.

EternalDoge becomes the newest Doge-based token to enter the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network. Its name originates from the basis that Dogecoin is eternal since it lies on BSC. The previous Doge token varieties to get into the market were the likes of babydoge and minidoge. 

EternalDoge Features 

Rewards

Holders are rewarded 3% of EternalDoge on transactions to give back to their community. The project strongly hopes that the community will stay loyal and hold strong as the community grows.

Dev and Buybacks

The project uses a buyback mechanism. It uses 3% of the profits to buy back some tokens and burn them. The process will help support the growth and stability of the token. Ultimately, it will reduce the token supply making it more attractive to investors.

Eternal Reflections

EternalDoge transactions get charged a fee distributed among holders of the token. 3% of the transaction fees go into internal reflections.

Liquidity Pool

1% of the token goes into the eternal liquidity pool. The pool will allow users to buy and sell crypto on decentralized exchanges without the need for centralized market makers. Also, it will provide liquidity, speed, and convenience.

Tokenomics

• Total Supply (100%): 1,000,000,000

• Presale: 35%

• LP: 24.01%

• Airdrop: 23%

• Exchanges and Development: 10%

• Team: 7.29%

• Unicrypt Fees: 0.7%

What is Next?

EternalDoge is in the second phase of development. During the first phase, the presale marketing, contract deployment, listing on the Pinksale platform, and the official launch of the token have been successfully concluded. 

The second phase involves post-marketing, Twitter, and Telegram Growth in that order. The majority of the marketing will take place at this time. After all, marketing is the primary focal point of any crypto project to bring more investors to the platform. 

The third phase will involve an application for audit and listings. Also, there will be further EternalDoge growth. We can expect more details on what will happen from the announcements on their social media.

About EternalDoge

EternalDoge is a crypto with a fanciful side. The reason is, it is an offspring of its "father" Doge. The token rewards its users by distributing back 3% of the transaction fee to its holders. By holding, you can be sure to earn more EternalDoge over time. 

Notably, EternalDoge has an ample supply and low price. Over time, when the marketing is launched and fully operational, the price may grow. However, the token has a fixed supply, and a proportion will be bought and burnt to reduce the supply. Consequently, the value will increase over time.

Cryptocurrencies have facilitated the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi). However, not all of these protocols provide choices that are in the best interests of their users.

Blizz Finance capitalized on these flaws and devised a DeFi protocol that outperforms other well-known protocols.

Some facts about Blizz Finance

Blizz Finance is a decentralized non-custodial liquidity protocol that lets people lend or borrow. On its website, contributors may earn passive income while those in need can apply for funding in various ways.

It can exploit the Avalanche network's scalability and cheap cost per operation.

Unlike AAVE, Blizz Finance does not maintain governance systems and operates via central processes. Fees are used for token exchange and profit margins for users and liquidity providers, and are completely transparent.

Token BLZZ: Properties

Blizz Finance's token, BLZZ, emerges as the core of the dynamics inside its ecosystem and gives the idea that makes the DeFi protocol unique compared to other competitors.

That means 1,000,000,000 BLZZ will be created, with 50% of the profits going to the protocol's users, both lenders and borrowers. Unlike AAVE, which capitalizes all profits.

On the distribution of BLZZ, of the 1,000,000,000 units:

• 50% is destined for lenders and borrowers loan applicants, distributed over a period of five years.

• 20% earmarked as an incentive for BLZZ /AVAX liquidity providers through TraderJoe. This will also be done over a five-year period.

• 10% for Airdrop campaigns and incentives to other associated DeFi communities., this for a minimum of one year.

• 15% will be used to finance the development team.

• The remaining 5% will be part of the treasury.

DeFi 2.0: Dex Liquidity Property Protocol (BLZZ-PODL)

Furthermore, Blizz has already entered DeFi 2.0 by offering a novel liquidity method that outperforms prior DeFi protocols. It's about the protocol's liquidity, which guards against whale investor migration, fixing the present major issue of impermanent loss.

AVAX's treasury incentives are now sent to this new smart contract using the PODL module. This allows users to sell their tokens to the protocol for 10% more. This preserves protocol liquidity and makes BLZZ deflationary.

DeFi protocol fee comparison:

Liquidity mining

Users may stake their assets, and the prizes will be disbursed throughout the three months that the funds remain vested. The money is not unavailable, since the user has complete control over them, even if a fine system is employed for 50% of the assets.

This makes no sense since the penalty imposed on customers who need to withdraw their cash will be shared among those who maintain their funds for the specified period. This encourages stakeholder commitment, rewarding those who follow the rules and penalizing those who do not.

It is important to note that everyone who participates in the Staking program with BLZZ can claim their rewards at any time, without any penalty.

The lending system

Finally, the loan system enables users to lend their bitcoin capital to people in need of cash in exchange for a guarantee and agreed-upon interest.

Anyone seeking a loan must pay it back with the same asset plus interest. If you accept the duty, you should be informed that additional interest may accumulate and your guarantee may be liquidated.

Non-compliance with the conditions increases a certain indicator, which at a certain point demands the liquidation of the guarantee to compensate the lender. This seeks to establish fair conditions for all parties without using a third party.

Cutting fees in half

Unlike other DeFi protocols, Blizz Finance and the BLZZ token are fully decentralized, using the Avalanche network's scalability, dependability, and low operating expenses, cutting Fees for market-leading DeFi protocols in half.
