SYRACUSE, NY, DECEMBER 1, 2021 – Upstate Interactive, a women-owned Web3 software development and consulting company, recently partnered with Creaticles to help launch the Creaticles NFT Marketplace on the blockchain.

Building off of Creaticles' existing back-end foundation and list of ideal features, Upstate Interactive leveraged its unique combination of UI/UX design, Web3, and smart contract development experience to help build and launch the marketplace on Ethereum. The custom NFT platform — notably the first of its kind — allows users to connect wallets, make requests for custom NFTs, submit proposals, confirm winners, and transfer cryptocurrencies.

“The NFT space is no longer only about transactions, but about community and creativity,” said Trevor Keith, CTO at Creaticles. “Our marketplace is encouraging collectors and artists to collaborate and bring new ideas to life in a fun, engaging way. Thanks to our combined efforts with Upstate Interactive, the marketplace is easy to navigate and enjoyable to use for everyone who joins the community.”

Previously, NFT collectors didn't have an outlet to request custom NFTs from artists as traditional art collectors do. The Creaticles NFT Marketplace allows collectors to request custom NFTs and have them minted, rewarding artists via cryptocurrencies. 

In addition to connecting collectors with artists, the launch of Creaticles' marketplace will contribute to the continued success of the NFT space — a market that's experiencing a significant increase in demand.

Accursed Share (https://accursedshare.art/), a production studio leveraging smart contract technology to push the boundaries of cryptoart, today announced the first NFT collection by photographer Frederic Auerbach. The collection provides an in-depth look at the methodology and process of Auerbach, a world-class fashion photographer known for his work with magazines and brands including GQ, Vogue, Hermès, and more.  The multi-part NFT drop will give exclusive insight into the artists' process and highlights Auerbach's work with five of Hollywood's most notable celebrities as well as 30 never-before-seen ‘process' photos culled from the working sessions with the stars.  

The NFT collection, “Captured Moment: The Master's Process,” is accompanied by exclusive video interviews with the photographer and insight into his inspiration, planning, setup, and in-studio process. The series details Auerbach's work with charismatic ‘triple-threat' and star of HBO's ‘Euphoria', Zendaya, as well as boxing heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and established Hollywood actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Natalie Portman, and Sharon Stone, 

One work featuring each of the celebrity subjects, deemed ‘The Master Series', will become available via auction in mid-December, but auction winners not only receive a high-resolution NFT version of the published work, but each Master Series set will also include a separate dynamic NFT. This NFT is powered by Accursed Share's proprietary technology - an internal ‘smart contract' innovation that is designed to randomly display an alternate edit of the final masterwork every few hours. Master Series auction winners will also receive a high-resolution autographed print of the photograph as well as a video NFT featuring an interview and ‘process commentary' with Auerbach. 

“We wanted to give fans, collectors, and students of Auerbach's work an internal view of his process and inspiration; we wanted to create a set of NFTs that really spoke to collectors and had engaging and intrinsic value.” Accursed Share CEO, John Connor, says of the project. The team's choice to highlight Auerbach was an intentional one, “Auerbach's ability to capture the charisma and character of his subjects is unique in the world of photography, and his uncanny ability to ‘summon the ineffable' in his images is very real. This is something that seems to be missing from the current popular perception of NFTs, and we hope that this project -and other subsequent Accursed Share NFT projects- will provide a renewed focus on high-quality NFT content and continue to push the boundaries of the medium.”

Connor references the fact that many ‘cryptoart' platforms and marketplaces treat NFTs as an almost utilitarian tool designed to simply transfer and monetize the display and ownership of exclusive art and digital images. However, he and his team are taking an in-depth look at how ‘non-fungible tech' can be used by creatives. Auerbach and the Accursed Share team worked together to create an outlet for alternate edits to the primary ‘Master Work' NFT Photos, and the rotating image NFT was a mutually-conceived idea meant to blend innovative technology and artistic vision.

In addition to the limited release Master Series (five 1:1 ‘sets'), Accursed Share is releasing “The Process Series” as an initial, more obtainable NFT drop that will be made available to fans and collectors who participate in the studio's whitelist referral program. This set of 1700 NFTs will be made up of six process photos of each of the five celebrity subjects. Totaling thirty unique images in all, these unseen selections from Auerbach's studio process will be released with varying levels of rarity - with the rarest image being limited to only 5 of the total 1700. The team is also airdropping a large number of these NFTs for free to early whitelist subscribers.

All collectors holding a Process Series NFT will be able to participate in the Master Series auction, and all ‘Process' NFT holders will be able to join Auerbach's upcoming NFT+photography Discord group.  All ‘Captured Moment' NFT holders will be invited into the Discord environment where the photographer and Accursed Share hope to foster an online community to like-minded collectors interested in photography, NFTs, and the intersection between the two mediums.  

Captured Moment's first selections from the ‘Process Series' will become available on December 5th, at which point early whitelist submissions will receive free airdrops of the first round; the remaining Captured Moments Process Series NFTs will roll out throughout the following week and will cost 0.05 ETH to mint. 

All 5 Master Series auctions will go live on December 17 and will have a starting price of 3.0 ETH; all bidding participants must hold a Process Series NFT.  In addition, one Master Series auction winner will be randomly selected to receive a private photoshoot with Frederic Auerbach in his Los Angeles Studio, a session valued at over $12,000.

For more information and to sign up for Captured Moment's whitelist, please visit the Accursed Share website at: https://accursedshare.art and click ‘Zendaya'.

The annual VR Awards recognized experiences, companies, and individuals in thirteen categories and the coveted Accenture Lifetime Achievement Award.

Three years ago, a cryptocurrency game got so popular that players brought the Ethereum Network to its knees just to win. Today, that game, Fomo3D is back, but instead of suffering the high transaction costs that plagued its predecessor, it--and its token counterpart, P3D--utilize the Binance Smart Chain to make the game more accessible to ordinary players. 

At the moment, the game has only been running since November 11th, but the prize pot has already surpassed 481 BNB, or $275,000 USD. The game's mechanics are somewhat simple: players buy keys to contribute to the pot, the pot is attached to a 24 hour clock that is continuously counting down, whoever buys the last key collects the jackpot. Every time a key is bought, 30 seconds are added to the clock and the price of the next key increases slightly. However, even if somebody else wins the jackpot, keyholders and token-stakers still collect passive income through dividends from key purchases. Furthermore, when the clock runs out, those still holding tokens receive portions of the jackpot proportional to their share of tokens. 

What makes the token itself even more enticing is its usage of a deflationary mechanism, every time a holder sells their share of coins, 10% are automatically burned. Since the launch of the P3D token, over 15% of its original billion coins have already been burned, which is great for investors. While other coins such as the extremely popular Shiba Inu token excitedly talk about their coin burning down until the value is .01 USD within five years, holders of P3D may very well see that sort of price point within a few months, if not weeks.

“We had a lot of burn even before the game launched,” said developer Smokey Nagata, “I think a lot of people saw some of the hype around the launch and thought it would be a good opportunity to make a quick profit, but I'm sure a lot of them are kicking themselves right now.”

However, it is exactly this kind of hit-and-run approach to cryptocurrency that made “Smokey” want to revive the game for 2021. 

“It's been a big year for cryptocurrency,” explained “Smokey,” “investment news channels talk about NFTs and Dogecoin with the same seriousness as they do the DOW and NASDAQ; but it's still the Wild West. People talk about Fomo3D as if it was just a game, but it was so much more than that. The overall project, the Proof of Weak Hands (PoWH) was originally designed as a commentary about the state of the cryptocurrency market back in 2018: it was mocking the jargony buzzwords and slapdash whitepapers that riddled the landscape back then. Ironically enough, it's probably more relevant today than even when it was originally launched.”

Keys for the lottery are available for purchase on the FOMO3D website and can be purchased using Metamask, TrustWallet, and WalletConnect.  As of now, the P3D token is exclusively available on PancakeSwap and Rubic Exchange, but the developers have eyes on expansion, if not outright global domination. 

“What do I think will be the endgame?” “Smokey” could only speculate, “maybe a few crypto billionaires will be left to fight it out, maybe nations will band together to win it all, or maybe the entire network will crash like in 2018. All I know is it's gonna be a bloodbath.”
