A manufacturing company in Thailand is hoping to open up its factories to new visitors using VR technology

The post Manufacturing should use VR to enhance rather than replace appeared first on VRWorldTech Magazine.

His announcement comes two weeks before the launch of the protocol's NFT collection, the Cats and Watches Society collection. The event set to unroll on January 17 will also entail the launch of its V2 marketplace. 

According to Mr. Mihai, his first purchase from the BAYC collection is his way of showing his support towards NFTs. Furthermore, he considers it the best time to join the BAYC movement, before the launch of the DYP NFT collection.

So far, the BAYC collection has been making a name for itself in the market, holding some of the most coveted pieces in the space. According to a Dune Analytics report, the collection has garnered over $500 million since the start of its sales. 

The collection contains 10 000 of the Bored Ape NFTs, with some selling as high as over 700 ETH. Mr. Mihai is now among the many who have invested in BAYC, considering notable figures, such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Jimmy Fallon, Post Malone, Steve Aoki, and more.

The Cats and Watches Society Collection

The Cat and Watch Society collection is a brainchild of the DYP protocol, leveraging the support of the Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche network, and Ethereum blockchain. The collection, also dubbed PAW, will be inclusive of 10 000 cats with 182 traits for any interested party to choose from, including clothes, color, watches, to mention but a few.

To avoid bias during the sale, the protocol will ensure that every PAW NFT sells at the same price; that is, $250 dollars for every Cat, while eliminating price tiers to prevent price differences. 

Owning a Cat gives you exclusive access to members-only benefits, including access to the marketplace and a Society Account. However, you need to own a Metamask wallet account for the process to be complete. Additionally, Cat holders will receive rewards from 20% ((10% from minting fees and 10% from selling fees) of all sales made every week.

DYP Could be the Next Big Thing in NFTs

DYP and its team are taking advantage of the greener pastures that the NFT market is laying out for crypto enthusiasts. While the step by its founder could seem like a rash decision, it stands as an indicator of his faith in the sector.

Furthermore, the creation of the Cats and Watches Society collection can open more doors for the protocol as a viable investment opportunity. As it stands, it has managed to bury its roots into the DeFi industry, offering lucrative yield farming opportunities while protecting its investors from market manipulation.

The collection wishes to speak of novelty through its NFTs while offering watch enthusiasts a chance to make the most out of the trendy elements present. Nonetheless, there is more to come, which means greater potential for the PAW collection. 

Soon, the cryptoverse should expect more, including a PAW metaverse, a Play-to-Earn opportunity for holders, PAW staking options, free watch minting, and more. These steps combined with its marketplace will make DYP a crucial part of the current and future NFT market.

VPNs have become a vulnerability that puts organizations at risk of cyberattacks.

Zero trust may be one of the hottest trends in cybersecurity, but just eliminating trust from networks isn’t enough to prevent successful organizational data breaches, says Wes Wright, CTO of Imprivata.

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. 

--  Arabian Camels, a tight-knit NFT community revolutionizing the movie business, today announced the launch of an ‘Antara Movie NFT' in partnership with Swapp Protocol, offering a groundbreaking NFT Farming utility that allows the movie NFT holders to get an almost 100 percent APY before the movie even gets released. The ‘Antara Movie NFT' seeks to grant buyers up to 50 percent of the intellectual property rights to “Antara,” a $50 million dollar feature film. Antara is based on the life of Antarah Ibn Shaddad, an ancient Arabian knight and poet, famous for his adventurous life.

Arabian Camels will partner with Swapp Protocol to produce the world's first decentralized feature film production NFTs with DeFi capabilities. The idea behind partnering with Swapp Protocol is to enable the use of their decentralized finance products to eliminate the monetary risk associated with movie funding and revolutionize the industry.

 Swapp brings a new dynamic to the NFT project. Their vast multidimensional capabilities within the DeFi space, allows Arabian Camels to integrate the movie industry with NFT technology.  Swapp Protocol is not only the leader in decentralized finance, but also a pioneer in the NFT space. Swapp's NFT Marketplace is home to exclusive, vetted, utility based NFTs, which aim to merge the worlds of art and blockchain technology.

 “My vision was to create a system to produce films that normally cost in excess of $50M, completely risk free,'' said Alexander Amaratei, the Producer of Antara. “In addition to eliminating funding risks, this system would allow films to be owned by the fans, the NFT owners. This feat would not have been possible without Swapp's innovative NFT Farming capabilities and blockchain/cryptocurrency knowledge and platforms.”  

 Swapp's NFT farming platform will allow Arabian Camel NFT owners to earn passive income on their NFTs.  The Farming allows the films to be funded, while simultaneously providing a direct monetary benefit to those who support the project, before the theatrical release. This paradigm shift moves the control of the industry away from traditional lenders and production studios, and into the hands of individuals/fans who support the film, which Swapp coined.

 The historical significance of this NFT drop cannot be overlooked.  For the first time in history, a feature film will be funded through the release of a NFT, and the Arabian Camels and the Swapp Protocol will pave the way. This NFT project will completely revolutionize and ‘de-risk' an entire industry.

 Leveraging Swapp's large real world data company helps provide insight, creating a competitive advantage as we replace the antiquated system of movie funding.  As a partner, Swapp has proven to be able to identify market opportunities and expeditiously implement/execute cutting edge solutions as seen through their NFT Marketplace, Decentralized Exchange, and Data Monetization App.

“With the power of community, speed of the internet, and dexterity of DeFi, we are generating a tectonic shift that will create waves of opportunity in the film industry.” – Tural Bayev (CEO, Swapp Protocol)

The movie is being directed by a world-class Hollywood director, who instantly agreed to join the project when they were introduced to the concept of Antara. Members from the Arabian Camel NFT community will share in ownership of the film, get roles in the movie, credit as producers, and join the production team for exclusive gatherings on the set in the Arabian Desert with the cast and crew. The differentiation of this NFT project is it's real-world utility, separating itself from the typical NFT projects inflated by hype alone. The Arabian Camel NFT is becoming a powerful symbol of what is achievable when crypto communities join forces, united by a common vision.

 The Arabian Camels envision merging Movies and NFTs with DeFi, Gaming, and the Metaverse, with a focus on community, extracting value from the booming transmedia space, and sharing the value entertainment properties with the Arabian Camel community. Prospective film distributors would pay the owners of the Antara Movie NFT to distribute the movie in theaters and/or streaming channels, tying the Arabian Camel community into millions of dollars worth of value in the real world. 

 Arabian Camels have also collaborated with Dominic Ryder, CEO of vEmpire, whose token has recently rocketed 1500 percent and reached a market cap of $100M. Dominic Ryder's protocol is in the process of designing and creating the ANTARA Play-To-Earn game, which has already gotten the attention of some prominent VC firms. The multiplayer raiding game is expected to plant the Arabian Camels brand and the Antara IP firmly into the Metaverse, and add another layer of value for Arabian Camels holders. The game is set to bring fun and reliable income to thousands of players in developing countries and will run off of a scholarship model. The Arabian Camels NFTs are now to be a commodity and have functionality within the game. In conjunction, they will also be launching their very own gaming token, the in-game currency that is set to be listed on major Cryptocurrency exchanges.

 The production of the movie was meticulously put together with the help of professors of Arabic Literature from Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, and the School of Oriental and African studies, meaning it's not another Marvel. It has a very rich, intelligent, and powerful historical appeal. It was originally set to be shot in NEOM, Saudi Arabia, but Abu Dhabi, as a modern tech hub, has also shown a keen willingness to accommodate the production, to be credited as the ones that helped to bring this epic story to the world. The production team is currently assessing which of the Middle Eastern regions can offer the best incentives and working conditions for the production.

 The story of Antara is reminiscent of both Alexander the Great and Romeo and Juliet, of the Middle East. His story has been told repeatedly for the past 1,500 years. He was a black slave in ancient/pre-Islamic Arabia, who won his freedom and became a lofty knight. He rose to stardom in the 5th century, not only due to his character and prowess on the battlefield but also, his miraculous talent as a poet. His poetry was held in such high regard, that it was actually sewn in gold, and suspended on the Kaaba in Mecca before the days of Islam. To this day, if one studies Arabic Literature in Oxford or Cambridge, the poetry of Antara is still studied and revered.
