SANTA MONICA, CA, Feb 28, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Power of One Foundation ("POOF") has entered into a partnership with Legacy Block (BLCK:Pancakeswap). BLCK is an operating division of Peerless Exponential Partners, LLC (PXP). By way of the partnership POOF will use Legacy Block's BLCK governance token as the governance token for a series of new blockchain based projects targeted at ending hunger in the United States. These projects will materially increase POOF's reach and efficiency in addressing its goal that aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) - Zero Hunger.
Legacy Block ("BLCK") is the governance token of several protocols seeking to address some of the world's greatest challenges. "We believe we can use our token to solve some of the world's pressing challenges," says Joel Plasco, Co-Founder of Legacy Block. "When we set out to do this in Nigeria we were met with pessimism, what we now know is people will invest their time in what we call Personal Natural Resources ("PNR") to help themselves and their community. Blockchain and tokens are a very helpful tool for documenting and rewarding people for their participation."

Through the partnership POOF will work with Legacy Block to create new food security solutions leveraging the power of Blockchain. POOF's expertise and capabilities have been tested and honed over the duration of the Covid Pandemic. In 2020, as the effects of Covid halted the economy and devastated the income for tens of millions of Americans, POOF stepped up to feed over 3 million people in California and distributed over 10 million lbs of food earning it 2020 California Nonprofit of the Year.

"We learned during the height of the pandemic that new blockchain based tools could have possibly helped us increase the number of people we fed and could have helped people in need get other vital services. We believe we can use PNR to convert time and other intangible assets into tokenized monetizable assets," says Andre Roberson, CEO of Power of One Foundation.

By working with POOF, Legacy Block believes in the acquisition and utility of cryptographic assets available to everyone on the planet. Legacy Block has signed up 100,000 members in Africa who have pledged more than 5 million hours of their time to help social innovators who solve real world problems. These members are using PNR to eliminate extreme poverty. Legacy Block has agreed as part of this partnership to provide training and start-up capital to 50,000 POOF members which will allow those members to use PNR to reduce food insecurity.

"Applying PNR to food securities issues in the USA is the next step in creating a global PNR ecosystem capable of reducing financial inequalities," says Master Node Holder Lou Zant.

"We are excited to work with Legacy Block to help 50,000 of our community members activate their Personal Natural Resources ("PNR") to achieve permanent food security and to have access to the Legacy Block BLCK governance token and the great minds gathering to solve real life problems using blockchain," says Andre Roberson.

About Legacy Block

Legacy Block is an operating subsidiary of Peerless Exponential Partners, LLC, a company headquartered in the USA. Its purpose is to provide a framework for governance and coordinate the Legacy Block Initiative. This will foster transformative social impact through decentralized technologies in support of financial inclusion. The goal is the elimination of extreme poverty to ensure universal basic opportunities exist for every citizen on the planet.

It is standard for DeFi platforms to offer over-collateralized loans, in which borrowers deposit more in assets than they withdraw. Some DeFi platforms (like AAVE) support a newer type of loan, the flash loan. When a loanee takes out a flash loan, no collateral is required. This is achievable because flash loans are repaid within the same transaction that they are taken out – a smart contract is used to rapidly perform a series of transactions that result with the loanee ultimately repaying the loan.   Flash loans are atomic, meaning that they are only processed if all included transactions are executed. If they are not, they are rolled back. This enables individuals to borrow massive sums with almost no risk. It is common for borrowers to withdraw tens of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of dollars at once, albeit for a brief period.   What Are Flash Loans Used For?   Flash loans have three primary uses: trading arbitrage, collateral swapping, and self-liquidation. Here’s an explanation of each:   Trading Arbitrage: Different exchanges may charge different prices for certain assets, opening opportunities to purchase and sell the same assets on different exchanges for a profit. This process is called “trading arbitrage”. While it can be done manually, doing so usually doesn’t yield much of a profit, since the prices of these assets usually only differ by a fractional amount. Flash loans can be used to automatically execute large arbitrage orders, quickly turning a much larger profit.   Collateral Swapping: Changing the base collateral used in DeFi loans can be frustrating and time-consuming, especially for those who diversify their collateralized assets. Flash loans can be used to quickly pay off loans in order to free locked assets, then swap those assets for others.   Self-Liquidation: If a traditional DeFi loan’s base collateral decreases in value too greatly, it will be liquidated. Meaning, collateralized assets will be sold at a discount in order to repay the loan, yielding a loss for the borrower. Flash loans can be used to self-liquidate, fully paying off the loan and withdrawing the collateralized assets without a loss.   What Are The Real Risks of Flash Loans?   Because flash loans are atomic, they are risk-reduced. However, they are not entirely risk-free. Flash loans incur network fees regardless of whether or not they succeed. This exposes loanees to front-running, in which other parties execute identical flash loans while paying higher network fees. Front-ran flash loans are processed first, often leaving original loanees with nothing but network fees to pay.   Most flash loan platforms use the Ethereum Network because it was the first major DeFi-supportive network to gain mass adoption. With Ethereum gas fees as high as they are, front-running has become a major issue for those seeking flash loans.   The use of Ethereum for flash loans poses another serious risk. Ethereum smart contracts are vulnerable to reentrancy attacks, during which hackers withdraw all funds stored within a smart contract. This is done using an external smart contract that withdraws funds multiple times before the withdrawn balance is confirmed.   Ethereum smart contracts are uniquely vulnerable to reentrancy attacks due to Ethereum’s Solidity programming language. Technical jargon aside, Ethereum smart contracts are only secure if coded in a very specific way. Minor mistakes can leave them highly vulnerable. In fact, a single misarranged line of code allowed hackers to steal USD 60 million of Ether in the infamous “The DAO” hack.   How To Avoid Flash Loan Risks   If a reentrancy vulnerability is found within the smart contracts of popular Ethereum-based DeFi platforms, flash loaners could lose millions. Needless to say, many are looking for DeFi solutions outside of the Ethereum Network. One alternative that has been gaining popularity recently is White Whale, the first cryptocurrency project to offer flash loan UST arbitrage within the Terra ecosystem.   Flash loans on Terra are much more secure than flash loans on Ethereum. This is because Terra is built using Cosmos, which powers several other popular projects like Binance Chain. Cosmos’ smart contract engine (CosmWasm) does not allow calls to external smart contracts, and Terra’s smart contract language is far more forgiving than Ethereum’s. This makes White Whale’s arbitrage system immune to reentrancy attacks.   As for frontrunning, it is an inescapable risk. The best course of action is to reduce its likelihood and the damage that it causes. Most front-running attacks are performed on the Ethereum Network by bots, which take advantage of Ethereum’s high and volatile gas prices. Switching to a network with lower and more stable network fees can greatly reduce frontrunning risk.   White Whale offers a sleek and easy web-app interface that makes arbitrage accessible to everyone.

TOKYO, Feb 28, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - NTT DOCOMO, INC. announced today that it has begun allowing overseas mobile operators to access its Shared Open Lab environment, located in DOCOMO's R&D Center in Yokosuka, Japan, to verify their virtualized radio access networks (vRAN), effective immediately. The lab is one of the initiatives of the New window5G Open RAN Ecosystem (OREC) project under which DOCOMO and 13 leading global vendors* are working to develop truly flexible Open RAN capable of incorporating interoperable equipment of multiple vendors.
Since its establishment last October, the Shared Open Lab has deployed virtualized base stations made with equipment from multiple OREC partners. The verification environment is now open to remote access by global operators, eliminating their need to prepare in-house verification environments.

DOCOMO believes the lab will help operators to greatly reduce overall costs, including constructing in-house labs and/or traveling to vendors' labs, for the verification of base station functions and performance prior to commercial deployment.

DOCOMO, which has been a leader in the development of Open RAN for many years, became the world's first mobile operator to launch a commercial 5G service via Open RAN in March 2020. The company's 5G Open RAN currently includes more than 10,000 base stations and more than 10 million subscribers. Furthermore, within fiscal year 2022, DOCOMO expects to commercialize highly flexible and scalable vRANs for international mobile operatorsa, including by leveraging the know-how and integrated strengths of its OREC partners.

DOCOMO looks forward to deepening its cooperation with an expanding range of stakeholders, including overseas mobile operators, via the Shared Open Lab. DOCOMO is committed to working with its OREC partners to develop further technologies and know-how for the increased adoption of Open RAN, vRAN and other open networks capable of responding flexibly and quickly to diversifying needs in the worldwide mobile communication market.

The rise of blockchain technology has led to a paradigm shift in the gaming industry. Non-Fungible Tokens(NFTs) and cryptocurrencies allow for Play-to-Earn mechanics that let players earn revenue through in-game activity, turning the traditional Pay-to-Play model on its head. The King is dead, long live the King! Play-to-Earn games are one type of blockchain game in which players earn unique NFTs through in-game advancement. In blockchain gaming, players have complete control over their digital assets. In traditional games, the player may lose access to their collectible items if the server is shut down. However, blockchain gaming allows gamers to trade their items, sell them, or potentially use them across different games. The Play-to-Earn industry is on the rise. According to Forbes, Play-to-Earn games are generating billions of dollars through transactions involving NFTs. Popular games such as Axie Infinity, owned by the Vietnam based company Sky Mavis, boast 2.5 million daily active users. Axie was the first Ethereum based NFT game to reach 1 billion USD in sales last August. The major game studio Ubisoft also incorporated NFTs in its latest release, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon. With the introduction out of the way, here are the top Play-to-Earn games to look out for in 2022. Apeiron A cross between god-game simulations and card-based Action Roleplaying Games (ARPGs), Apeiron has many perks that put it high on the list. Inspired by classic god games such as Populous, Black and White, and Spore, the game incorporates a dynamic alignment system that allows players to choose what kind of god they wish to be in what they describe as a “mystical and variegated universe”. One strength of the game is in its tri-token structure. Many popular NFT games have two tokens; one that serves as an in-game currency and a limited Proof of Stake governance token that acts as a company share. Apeiron introduces a third form of currency to promote high-level gameplay. The third currency rewards team play and Guild level competitions, staving off deflation with seasonal large-scale events and allowing for a dynamic economy in the late game stage. Another strength is the game’s integration into the NFT Metaverse. Apeiron has sights set to an integrated virtual world where players will be able to use their assets from other web3 projects in Apeiron. Lastly, Many popular games require the purchase of NFTs to enter the game, whereas Apeiron will be introducing a new Free-to-Play, Play-to-Earn ethos that allows for new players to join free of cost and earn their way through the game. With its solid fundamentals, forward vision, and flashy design, Apeiron has earned its spot on this list. Cradles: Origin of Species Promising to disrupt the entire blockchain gaming world, Cradles: Origin of Species is a virtual reality game that allows the player to immerse themselves, take the form of any species, and explore their vast virtual world. In addition to roleplaying features, the game allows the player to build an entropy-increasing world. Players must ensure the normal operation of the whole world ecosystem and urban area or they risk chaos and disorder. Comprised of a Main city and Adventure zone, the game promises unsurpassed freedom and creativity. The player travels between zones and through time to gain, trade and craft items to advance their character and their city. You can also be a dinosaur – a key reason why it’s made its spot on this list. BlockLords This grand strategy game set in medieval Europe allows players to create heroes, amass an army, and conquer the metaverse. Through trade, conquest, and earning taxes on sales, gamers can create in-game, player-run governments. The limited number of cities on the map ensures fierce competition among players. The game’s grand strategy outlook and stark medieval vibes earn it a definite spot on this list. Metasoccer  This game combines the lucrative worlds of video games, soccer, and sports betting to create an intriguing entry into the blockchain gaming industry. It allows two different roles for the player: owner, and manager, each with unique gameplay mechanics. It also allows players multiple paths for generating revenue. Including finishing the season on top, selling players, renting your stadium, betting, and of course, winning matches. With its popular subject matter, sleek design, and myriad avenues for earning crypto, Metasoccer is sure to make an exciting debut into the metaverse in 2022. Blast Royale This game pits players against one another in a survival-style match in which players fight using pre-selected equipment. The equipment is in the form of NFTs and is essential to determining the success of a player within a match. Blast Royale includes billions of pieces of unique equipment that players can deploy, all of which affect the performance and character of players. Players can create new equipment through two equipment pieces, repair equipment, earn experience for their equipment and upgrade equipment. Blast Royale’s metaverse allows for an infinite number of possibilities, and we are all in.
