Algorand (ALGO) trends lower with the rest of the crypto market.

The platform has a catalog of properties, price ranges, addresses. In addition, an owner or potential investors looking to purchase a portion of this Algorand backed NFTs can view the percentage of equity available, of equity listed, and equity sold. Other features of the property are visible, as seen below. Vesta Equity is user-friendly and provides additional data as the property value forecast for up to 30 months, and its home price index (HPI) to estimate the property’s potential value over the coming years, and its expected returns. Algorand To Disrupt $23.6 Trillion Real Estate Market? The Algorand based platform attends to automatize and remove third-party intervention from the real estate sector by leveraging the power of NFTs. Thus, providing users with more access to property investments. Michael Carpentier, CEO, and Co-Founder of Vesta Equity said the following on the project: Imagine a world where with a few clicks of your mouse you can access the entire accumulated value of the equity in your home without incurring debt or selling and moving. At the other end, investors can participate by purchasing into the future appreciation of the property and build a portfolio of real estate assets like they do with stocks. Imran Rahaman, COO at Vesta Equity, called the launch of the platform an “innovation” in the home equity sector. In addition, Rahaman believes the project is a new use case align with the ultimate goal of blockchain technology: we become an example of a company using blockchain for what it was designed: to remove friction from traditional exchange of value systems, and to open up new financial opportunities for people everywhere.

LONDON, Mar 4, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - iLearn launches a new mobile NFT game app disrupting the education industry, gaming industry and pioneering Learn to Earn. iLearn, a learning incentivization platform, aims to use blockchain technology to create a rewarding, engaging, and fun way to learn. Eggheads will be the first program (game) launched on iLearn.

Founded by Edozie Izegbu, a software engineer who attended Oxford University with a focus on building socially impactful software from the get go. He worked at Blockchain.com and Carbon (Challenger bank in Nigeria).

iLearn has a distributed team hailing from PWC, McKinsey, Blockchain.com, Carbon and others, where they are committed to building decentralized ownership and reward architecture into the educational model.

The iLearn platform priorities incentivised learning, promoting engagement and motivation within a variety of subjects. The first of many applications to be released on the iLearn platform is Eggheads, a live puzzle quiz platform where players can win real prizes from crypto to NFTs to your favorite sports game tickets. Creating a new kind of "Edutainment" system for any web3 company to build on top of.

Platforms and release date

The Eggheads platform is coming to Desktop Web and Mobile Web in March and in Q2 for iOS/Android and allows players to keep all their crypto in the app with no knowledge of decentralized wallets or the wider crypto ecosystem necessary. If you know how to answer questions you can win real prizes.

How Does Eggheads Work

The Eggheads brain game trains the mind while also feeding the wallets with real cash, crypto, and NFT prizes. The application functions as an RPG puzzle platform that allows players to fight in Battle Royale (player vs. all) or PvP (player vs. player) trivia games. The goal of Eggheads is to provide a seamless live game show experience with everyone in mind. Crypto experts and novices alike will be able to compete. Play against your friends or top contenders in front of an audience.

Why Eggheads vs. standard play to earn course-based learning?

Eggheads won't replace standard course-based learning. Deep end-to-end education requires structure and guidance. However, Eggheads does fill the niche of incentivizing deeper and more targeted learning for individuals already interested in specific subjects.

Why doesn't course-based learning work for this use case?

The biggest issue is engagement. An engaging and fun mechanism is crucial for the continued learning of targeted subjects. In this sense, Eggheads will provide both a monetary and social incentive to participate in the ecosystem. Users will be enticed by the rewards but will ultimately remain engaged due to social interaction and competition with other people interested in the same educational topics.

Exciting Partnerships & What to Expect

The initial launch of Eggheads will kick off with Battle Royale style category-based trivia games. Users will compete against each other in a survivor-style game. Correct answers are rewarded, and the wrong answers could knock you out of the competition!

We mentioned exciting partnerships in the title and we meant it! The Eggheads pilot will be launched with revolutionary companies in the blockchain ecosystem. These first Battle Royale trivia games will be hosted by:

- Polygon
- Neon Labs
- Velas

We're looking forward to partnering with enterprises to power their learning incentivisation platforms with quiz games and courses.

Bitcoin recorded its largest single-day pump in a year as the Russian ruble tanked 20% in its value against the dollar amidst worldwide economic sanctions imposed in the country after their attack on Ukraine. Sanctions Pump Bitcoin The most influential countries in the world have imposed penalties on Russia aiming for its economic collapse to stop Putin’s efforts to invade Ukraine. However, it is not only politicians who are threatened by penalties but common citizens. State Duma deputy from the Communist Party Nikolai Arefiev commented to a local news portal that savings of Russians could be confiscated by the Russian government: “If all funds that are abroad are blocked, then the government will have no other choice but to seize all the deposits of the population – there are about 60 trillion rubles – in order to get out of the situation.” Both Russians and Ukrainians have recorded enormous increases in crypto trading volume as they run to use it as a safe haven for their savings and wealth and a financial tool that allows them to take their money abroad or avoid sanctions. Similarly, bitcoin also became a valuable tool to send donations to Ukrainian efforts. The cryptocurrencies that have recorded the highest trading volumes in the countries have been bitcoin and tether. Bitcoin’s original narrative seems to be winning amongst the people who need it and so, its price has increased while recording other historical marks. Related Reading | Bitcoin Soared 20% In Two Session With Crypto Demand As Haven The Pump As per Arcane Research data, the bitcoin price increased 14.5% on Monday, its largest pump since February 8th, 2021, when the crypto coin reacted positively being shot up to an ATH after Elon Musk announced Tesla had bought $1.5 billion in bitcoin. Furthermore, data shows that the digital coin was back at providing better returns after a rough month. Bitcoin’s 7-day volatility increased to 5.4%, its highest mark since June 2021. Arcane Research notes this proves that the digital coin “behaves opposite of the rest of the financial markets concerning volatility, as upwards price movements often cause the most significant volatility spikes.” Similarly, many were already used to the possible correlation between bitcoin and tech stocks, but that correlation has decoupled as bitcoin price increased 5% during the past day while equity stocks closed at lower prices. Bitcoin use case as a store of value might be making a return to the markets. Before Monday’s big pump, bitcoin trading volume reached over $10 billion last Thursday as a reaction to Russia’s attack on Ukraine. This is the highest level reached since December 4th.

BTC Price Arcane data further noted that the digital coin has returned to its $40-44k trading range and the resistance level of $44,000, found during early February’s rally, is an important mark since the coin has yet to convincingly break through that resistance. Data suggests that if BTC breaks through $44k again, then “$47,000 is the next resistance area to pay attention to.” Meanwhile, bitcoin was slightly up in the last 24 hours. At the time of writing the digital coin’s price is $43,894.

A popular analyst says that the bull case for Bitcoin (BTC) is gaining steam amid strong price action, and that crypto is becoming “serious money” following recent geopolitical developments. In the latest TechnicalRoundup newsletter, the pseudonymous analyst known as Cred says that Bitcoin’s reclaim of the $40,000 level bodes well for the top crypto by […]
