TWO TWO and the City have partnered to invigorate the Downtown Arts District. With immersion, interaction, NFTs and multiple forms of reality, TWO TWO's collaborations with some of the world's finest artists, composers and engineers are representative of the inspiration behind creativity, focusing on the expansion of artistic vision and disrupting the entire industry. Reimagining mediums, TWO TWO transcends all current artist experiences. As the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas recognizes the need to exhibit art in a manner that remains relevant to future generations. 

“TWO TWO is a perfect partner to help us re-invigorate our Arts District to attain world class status,” according to Tammy Christensen, Senior Economic Development Officer of the City of Las Vegas. “We look forward to hosting the transformation of the art world happening in our amazing City.”

As the bohemian jewel of downtown Las Vegas, the Arts District is already prominent. An absolute Mecca of food, music, fashion, and of course art, the area is home to the city's most exciting venues, boutiques, restaurants, bars, and art galleries, serving up the best culture Southern Nevada has to offer. From the hippest bars like ReBar, which is a combination of a bar and antique shop where literally EVERYTHING is for sale, to the most delectable restaurants like Esther's Kitchen, founded by Michelin five-star chef James Tree, the Arts District is the true cultural hub of Las Vegas. “Everything about the Arts District is independent and free-spirited,” says Trees. “Unlike the big hotels on the strip, where everything fits nicely into a theme, the Arts District is its own entity. That's what makes it so fun and exciting.”

You can shop for the most vibrant modern and vintage fashions at places like Glam Factory Vintage and Del'la Couture, or enjoy the best theater this side of Broadway at The Cockroach Theater or the Vegas Theater Company. Cocktail lounges like The Velveteen Rabbit and high-brow coffee shops like Makers and Finders are more New York Soho chic than Vegas Strip kitsch, and craft breweries like HUDL Brewing and Able Baker are making names for themselves by churning out the tastiest and most unique craft brews in the country. Popular venues such as Ninja Karaoke offer up a full throttle Tokyo karaoke experience, with themed rooms that are perfect for hosting your next birthday or business party, while trendy salons like The Atomic Lounge can give you the most stylish classic looks from the 1950s to today.

But of course, what would the Las Vegas Arts District be without the art.You don't even have to set foot in one of the district's many remarkable galleries in order to peruse the murals that beautify the walls of almost every building in the area. Whether in search of a limited-edition print, the perfect piece to tie a room together, or the ideal artist to bring a custom commission to life, the Arts District's galleries are treasures troves for both the casual and serious art lover alike. The Arts Factory is a sprawling converted warehouse that serves as home to the city's most celebrated local artists' studios, and Helios Fine Art is another renowned venue known for pushing boundaries and challenging the viewer.

For those seeking vintage collectibles, furniture, knickknacks, and tchotchkes, Retro Vegas is a total time machine of Vegas kitsch, specializing in the best remnants of the bygone era. Still, perhaps the most exciting aspect of this burgeoning Vegas cultural phenomenon is their renowned First Friday events. On the first Friday of every month, the Arts District hosts a huge block party where the city's best musicians, artists, food vendors, and clothing designers come together to showcase their trend-setting work.  It is the best party in town. Although best known as a monthly event, the First Friday Foundation extends its community outreach efforts well beyond the first Friday of each month.

As a non-profit organization, the First Friday Foundation serves to empower local arts, culture, and education through artistic opportunities for thousands of students in the Clark County School District. This directly aligns with TWO TWO's own mission statement, to connect and enrich the global community through arts and entertainment. As the first immersive art gallery in the district, TWO TWO will become the touchstone from which all future galleries and art will emerge. So forget your tired old Las Vegas strip, and welcome yourself to the city's best kept secret, located in the southern downtown within walking distance to Fremont St.

“If you want to learn about history, you could read history books but that's a single perspective that may be tainted by class or politics,” according to Steven W Meistrich, Co-Founder and CEO of TWO TWO. “In my opinion, if you really want to understand and embrace history, one needs art, music and literature because that represents truth; the heart of a society, a generation, a culture. That understanding, offers a true sense of the meaning of history which is fundamental to the grown of humanity. Art, music and literature are not erudite. They are oxygen and it is incumbent upon us to educate.” 

TWO TWO, the City of Las Vegas, partners in Art Without Boundaries. 

ABOUT TWO TWO

TWO TWO is the world's first Interactive Art Gallery. It blurs the boundaries between physical and virtual art, exhibiting and selling the works of visionary, established and emerging graffiti, pop and street artists. See more at www.twotwoart.com.

- Multi-chain community-driven launchpad Starter (https://starter.xyz), today announced it will host the Initial Dex Offering (IDO) of ANOMUS, the 100 percent decentralized news protocol providing the public with access to transparent and fairly distributed news worldwide.

ANOMUS sets out to remedy fake news, which has often distorted reality and divided society creating turmoil and conflict. It aims to dismantle the suppression of speech and blacklisted topics encountered by communities around the world. As a blockchain protocol, every published content piece will be tamper proof and minted as an NFT on the blockchain. 

“In our ever-increasing digital world, more and more individuals are capturing their news online, where information flows 24/7 and can be quickly accessed and looked up. However, only recently has the media adopted the practice to fact-check sources and tidbits of information,” said Lionel Iruk, Special Counsel at Starter. “ANOMUS Protocol will be the blockchain antidote to fake news, available to fact-check and report news globally and ad-free without executive oversight culminating in community governance to deliver legitimate and accurate news.” 

In the initial phase, anyone will be able to become a content creator, by staking the ANOMUS token. Each approved article will become a minted NFT and will increase the reputation of the writer as a trusted source. 

For auditors, the initial voting reputation will also be predefined by staked amount, however, each content audit will be rewarded. Auditors can also increase their reputation by initializing fake news voting, by completing fact-challenges within the protocol and by suggesting edits to make the ecosystem more informative and by adding opposing views or an opinion to maintain a neutral balance.

Those consuming the news have the option to reward publishers for their contributions using the ANOMUS token or by liking and commenting on the published content. Readers will have the chance to earn ANOMUS tokens by reading and engaging with the ecosystem.

Additional incentive programs will reward content creators and auditors to validate stories and challenge misinformation. Stored on IFPS and Web 3.0 compatible, ANOMUS  will be easily accessible by anyone in any part of the world and cannot be restricted by a government entity. The native token will create shared community ownership of the platform, in turn creating a diverse, multifaceted governance and self-sustaining system that will encourage member participation. 

During the Initial Dex Announcement (IDO), 40,000,000 $ANOM tokens will be made available for purchase at $0.003 USD. Users taking the governance token will be able to participate in platform improvements to receive ANOMUS rewards and will have the opportunity to vote for protocol changes in the future.

Starter's community has provided hassle-free funding to many well-known IDO launches and now adds Anomus to its list. For more information on Starter's IDO launch of Anomus, please visit https://starter.xyz/.

-- Recently crowned #1 launchpad by average ROI, Starter (https://starter.xyz), today announced it will host the launch of $APEF, a Decentralized Finance (DeFi) token of ApeFarmer (https://apefarmer.com/), an advanced yield aggregator and optimizer, constructed on the Binance Smart Chain. 

Ape Farmer will offer "Safe Ape" and "Degen Ape'' sections allowing for increased yield farming profits on their already owned tokens. Deflationary measures will be implemented in the protocol to maintain a steadily increasing market cap, as it aims to be the go-to DeFi platform to offer increased yields for Binance Smart Chain, Cardano (TBA) and Polygon (TBA) enthusiasts.

Unlike other projects that neither list their entry and exit fees, nor display where their fees are being allocated, the yield aggregator will list all entry, exit fees and their destinations. Additionally, while most pools implemented into decentralized exchanges require manual compounding, 99 percent of ApeFarmer's vaults will auto compound- allowing increased yields when collecting rewards. The initial vaults will be handpicked by the ApeFarmer team and its partners. With the addition of DAO, ApeFarmer holders will also be entitled to vote on adding and removing vaults.

“DeFi is growing at a very rapid rate, with projections to grow tenfold in the next 5-10 years. During the quick growth spurt, more and more crypto holders will need a yield aggregator such as Ape Farmer that is suited to feed the holder and not just one specific project,” siad Lionel Iruk, Special Counsel at Starter. “Ape Farmer has created a protocol that captures the DeFi, NFT and governance sectors, is transparent, low cost uses time weighted average prices to mitigate flash loan attacks and other implementations to better benefit the end user.” 

The ApeFarmer Token will have no maximum supply, however, will have auto-burning functions and underlying utilities, including yield farming, where $APEF holders can stake their to earn more Tokens and wrapped Binance coins. Users can also participate in the $APEF lottery every week to earn rewards, apart from using their tokens to trade limited edition Apefarmer.com NFTs. Also, holders staking $APEF token will be able to propose changes to the ApeFarmer protocol including emissions, burn rates, new pools, yield farms.

During the IDO, 250000 $BUSD tokens will be made available for purchase at  $0.75 USD. ApeFarmer's smart contracts automate yields in a cost-efficient manner while utilizing some of the largest DeFi players like Pancakeswap, BBQswap and Babyswap.

Standpoint Finance (STF) announces its resolve to establish its Bitcoin mining farm, hinting that negotiation is ongoing. The farm will house high-powered computers that would solve complex computational math problems. According to Investopedia, a leading source of financial content on the internet, Bitcoin mining is the process of creating new bitcoin by solving those computational maths puzzles. Tom Wood, Standpoint Finance's VP business development, stated in a statement on Friday that the company decided to join other companies that already own or are planning to own their Bitcoin mining farm. The decision comes after the company deliberated on a report submitted by the company's team of crypto market analysts. The company's analyst team had earlier been charged with a responsibility to investigate the prospect in the Bitcoin mining business.

“After carefully examining the crypto ecosystem in general and specifically the bitcoin market, we can see long-term constant growth in the daily trading volumes as more and more general services, online e-commerce as well as a traditional offline business willing to accept crypto as a legal tender. We believe that this constant rise in demand will inevitably lead to a rise in price which we believe will send bitcoin beyond the 100,000 USD marks in 2-3 years” Tom Wood said.

From the report submitted, Bitcoin price is projected to continue to rise, as available market statistics show a long-term upward trajectory. STF market analyst team projects that Bitcoin price will surpass the 100,000 USD mark in the next three years. Owing to that projection, the group of analysts believes that Bitcoin mining would become a top-flying investment opportunity. STF intends to harness the opportunity by owning a Bitcoin mining farm. As part of the ongoing negotiation, the company is considering the possibility of a joint venture or independent initiative.

Although it is unclear how STF will eventually proceed, the company has opened its doors to investors and other companies that would be interested in partnering to own a Bitcoin mining farm. One clear thing is that the company intends to replicate the success it has recorded so far in its brokerage business in this new venture. Tom Wood further stressed that the company would be employing the best hands to ensure the Bitcoin mining farm do not only come to fruition but be successful.

-- Recently crowned #1 launchpad by average ROI, Starter (https://starter.xyz), today announced it will host the Initial Dex Offering (IDO) of StripFinance (https://www.strip.finance/), a decentralized platform protocol for easing liquidity in the NFT space. 

As the Non-fungible token (NFT) space continues to vastly expand on the blockchain, hundreds of thousands of creators and enthusiasts interact daily, creating millions of dollars in value within the NFT space. The growing transfer and value of NFTs has created a liquidity challenge in the market that will be solved by StripFinance. The protocol will allow users to provide loans against the value of NFTs as collateral and unlock millions of liquidity currently locked away in ‘Blue Chip NFTs.'

“StripFinance will be offering something we have yet to see normalized in the NFT space: NFT collateralization. Their DeFi protocol will add another staple to NFT utility by allowing lenders and borrowers to use NFTs to conduct transactions and provide additional utility, “said Lionel Iruk, special counsel at Starter. “It's great to be a part of StripFinance's process to see how the protocol will further push the boundaries of the blockchain!”

Within the DeFi protocol, lenders will be able to provide stable coins as liquidity, matching lenders to borrowers who are interested to borrow against their valuable NFTs. The lenders will have control over the interest rate and the Loan-To-Value (LVT) they are willing to offer borrowers. 

The value of the collateralized NFT will be directly retrieved from the NFT Marketplace, creating a fair and transparent collateralization process. Once accepted, the NFT will be transferred and held in escrow. If the installments are paid within the timeframe, the NFT will be returned to the original owner. However, If there is a default, the ownership rights are transferred to the lender. 

Additionally, users will have the option to opt for a pool, where investor and lender funds and NFTs will be pooled and create a stronger collateral and better security for all parties involved. 

StripFinance is founded by veterans of the industry including Varun Satyam, Yuvraj Chhibber and Yash Jejani. So far, the protocol has recently completed a $1.5 million raise so far from LD Capital, Old Fashion Research, Nothing Research, Tenzor capital, Exnetwork Capital, Valhalla capital, Block0, Shima Capital, Lancer Capital, MEXC Global Exchange, Kryptos Research, The NewField Fund, ZBS Capital, Starter Capital, J10M Capital, Wave 7, among others. 

During the Initial Dex Announcement (IDO), $STRIP tokens will be made available for purchase at $0.40 USD. The tokens will offer additional leverage value in the event of the NFT price reduction into the risk threshold. Additionally, $STRIP will function as a native platform utility token to pay fees for other platform services and will be considered within the project governance regarding decisions for project updates, airdrops, burn schedules and developer and community grants. 

Starter's community has provided hassle-free funding to many well-known IDO launches and now adds StripFinance to its list. For more information on Starter's IDO launch of StripFinance, please visit https://starter.xyz/.
