MetaFD is the world's first by-invitation-only STaaS (Staking-As-A-Service) that allows token holders to create sustainable earnings through stable staking and social sharing. 

MetaFD makes it possible for crypto investors to create sustainable earnings between 39% to 60% per year through stable staking and earn up to 20% profit sharing from your friends' staking returns. 

With no limit to the number of friends you can introduce, MetaFD provides an opportunity for MetaFD token holders to stake, share and earn. 

MetaFD makes it possible for token holders to participate in staking without needing the knowledge or expertise to do so, while receiving a profit-sharing fee for inviting their friends into this platform. 

User-Friendly

MetaFD takes the complexity out of staking for users by managing the staking process on their behalf. For MetaFD token holders, they can enjoy a simple user experience with the platform and leave the staking process in the hands of the Yield-Hunting AI Bot to invest in short-to-long term staking projects. 

This removes all obstacles for newcomers who often find the complex terminology and steps to participate in staking. 

With the dramatically reduced barrier to entry to get started with staking, ordinary crypto investors can get started with MetaFD with a few simple clicks. The rewards and profit sharing generated also go directly to users' wallets hosted by MetaFD, adding to their original capital investments. 

Removing Obstacles To Opportunities

While staking can be an excellent way to earn income on your cryptocurrency holdings, it is still a risky venture as the underlying cryptocurrency value can fluctuate wildly. Unlike most cryptocurrency, MetaFD is a stable coin that is tied to USDT value. 

The APY between 39% - 60% is highly dependent on market volatility and the time duration selected. This concept of arbitrage trading is nothing new for Wall Street types. MetaFD guarantees that any trade executed by its yield-hunting bot will make a profit as it is designed to find trading discrepancies across exchanges. 

As MetaFD is the world's first by-invitation-only STaaS (Staking-As-A-Service), you'll need to be referred by a token holder of MetaFD to stake on this platform. Your friend who refers you will earn 10% profit on whatever you successfully earn every month. And once you become a token holder of MetaFD, this will allow you to refer your friends and earn 10% profit on whatever your referral successfully earns as well. 

The Story Of MetaFD

In 2015, eight individuals decided to come together to analyze cryptocurrency projects, an asset class that was not known to many back then. 

Little did they know that this focus group has turned ordinary folks into multi-millionaires and changed their lives forever. Their friends and families started asking for help and they started empowering friends and families with the right knowledge to invest in the right cryptocurrency projects to create sustainable wealth. 

When DeFi started, the focus group started introducing crypto staking to their friends and families. However, due to the difficulty to analyze different DeFi projects, monitor staking performance, and troublesome process to stake on their own, most of them couldn't do it. This gave them an idea to launch a Staking-As-A-Service (STaaS) platform. Purely through word of mouth, they managed to raise $1.6 million. 

What started as a think tank of eight ordinary people coming together to achieve extraordinary results is now set to empower ordinary folks to create generational wealth.

Legendary UFC & Wrestling Champion and Hall Of Famer, Ken Shamrock will launch Valor Sports Coin (V$) on theBinance blockchain. Ken startedValor Bare Knuckle as a “fighter for fighters” promotion but created Valor Sports to support all sports athletes in part through direct engagement with their fans and the crypto world. Valor Sports Coin (V$) will be a reward token paying BNB rewards to its holders & already has partnerships with $GREED, TCG World &WallStreetBets. The world saw the power of the people when WallStreetBets and their community championed AMC and GameStop stocks against Wall Street hedge funds. Now they see the value of Valor Sports, $GREED, and TCG in the Metaverse and the Crypto world and are backing them in an exclusive strategic partnership.

Ken Shamrock's Valor Sports Coin: V$ : set to Launch as Dana White Challenges Fighters to start their own League.

The$GREED team has built the contract, will help deploy the launch from the Greed Launchpad and is leveraging the Greed Vault as a staking platform.  Additionally, Valor Sports Coin (V$) will be utilizing the Greed NFT marketplace, which is the first NFT site that can guarantee the artists will never lose their royalties. While Greed Music has recording artists and is building an amphitheater as well as galleries in Decentraland to showcase NFT's, Valor will also be able to live-stream their fights and utilize Greed's metaverse ecosystem for their NFT's as well.  Greed Lead developer, Captain Awesome has been working closely with Valor Sports Coin (V$) with their technology and building strategic partnerships. Don't be surprised if there are collaborations with Greed Music's Grammy Award-winning producers, Cool & Dre, or performances by their recording artists at the fights… Live in the Metaverse!

TheTCG World partnership allows for the Valor Sports Metaverse build to tie every utility together in the Valor Sports Ecosystem with much room to spare for our forward-looking projects.Epic Games CEO, Tim Sweeney says the Metaverse is a multi trillion-dollar opportunity. Valor Sports will be providing a high-tech multi-sports arena to showcase NFTs for all their athletes while incorporating crypto sports games and beyond. Ken Shamrock'sValor Bare Knuckle will have theBout Circle reproduced inside the Roman Colosseum where if your avatar dares to step into the circle, you better be prepared to fight your way out. What better way to showcase Hall of Fame wrestler & UFC Champion, Ken Shamrock's career than inside a lion-shaped building to represent the Lion's Den. The Lion's Den was the first fight club ever and was created by the world's most dangerous man himself.

In recent daysDana White was seen saying that if you don't like how the UFC pays their fighters then go start your own league. Challenge accepted and that's the inspiration behind Valor Bare Knuckle. Ken created it to give the fans exactly what they were looking for while protecting the fighters.“Stand them up”, was a common theme throughout his career so with Valor Bare Knuckle there's no grappling, no clinching, no takedowns, no ropes and/or cages or anything impeding your view of the Bout Circle. Valor Bare Knuckle and it's unique ruleset will produce faster and more exciting fights and is the future of true bare knuckle boxing.

• Featuring over 60 expert speakers, with a total online reach of 1.3 billion social followers, who raptured audiences

With a total of 60 international expert speakers and 32 Media partners educating 5,329 attendees over 3-days this was truly ‘not your typical blockchain event'.  Not only were crypto and blockchain enthusiasts and businesses present in abundance, Blockchain World's mission to educate everyone made the show truly unique by incorporating gaming, trading and entrepreneurial workshops and masterclasses into an engaging experiential led event.  The first XR studio was launched in the Middle East, the Helicon Studio, producing over 17 shows in less than 3-days totalling over 30 hours of studio quality video content.  Key global experts and speakers included: Jordan Belfort, "The Real Wolf of Wall Street"; David Shing, Aka ‘Shingy'; Christopher Travers, Offbeat Media Group; Brett King, Neo Bank, Moven; Isaac Serwanga, Speaker and Author.

Blockchain World Abu Dhabi welcomed local and international dignitaries and ministers.  The opening ceremony was attended by: H.E Sheikh Abdullah Bin Mohammed Al Hamed, Chairman of Department of Health, Abu Dhabi; H.E. Eng. Awaidha Murshed Al Marar, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy; H.E. Ahmed Mohammed Al Rumaithi, Undersecretary of the Department of Energy; Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNEC.  

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.
