The Polkadot Brand Is Evolving, Community Decides Its Future

The Polkadot network is launching its first major decentralized branding initiative supported by the platform’s treasury. This trailblazing project shows just how capable Polkadot’s governance is in decentralizing social coordination in order to run complex initiatives.

In another act of decentral authority, the community chose four bounty curators to spearhead the project. Specifically, this includes the Co-Founder of Acala — Bette Chan, and Head of Marketing at PureStake — Katie Butler. In addition, the Design Lead at Web3 Foundation — Ignasi ‘Iggy’ Albero, and VP of Marketing at Parity Technologies — Kaye Han, will join them.

Furthermore, they will be accompanied by the bounty implementor — Koto Studio. Thus, with this team in place, the Polkadot Brand Update project is ready. Thereby, to power the network’s brand strategy, the team will consult deep insights from community research. Read More


 

Understanding the Fundamentals of Coinovy: Crypto-to-Fiat

Universality remains to be crypto’s greatest characteristic, but acceptability, ironically, is still largely absent. While we can point out many reasons for that, it all comes down to the ease of managing crypto assets and converting them to fiat for everyday use. If we succeed with that, crypto users will outgrow the FinTech crowd and join this new economy.

The Key to Global Acceptance of Crypto - Mainstream adoption will be possible when people are given bank-like features without needing bank access, and that can be done with a proven crypto-to-fiat (C2F) model. It is a reliable method to onboard more users that simplifies daily crypto transactions in a cost-effective manner. Read More


 

City of Liverpool takes interest in blockchain-powered food delivery platform

Peepl seeks to enhance adoption by rewarding users with new tokens for every food delivery order.

On Monday, Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region Steve Rotheram announced a 700,000-pound investment ($955,957) into food delivery service Peepl. The software aims to act as a cost-efficient alternative to food delivery giants for local restaurants. Peepl is powered by the Fuse blockchain, which boasts having fast transaction times and low fees. It is the first major application of Fuse's open-source money toolkit designed to benefit local communities.

Peepl claims that it can save restaurants up to 50% on the commissions typically charged by food delivery platforms through its technology and partnerships. In addition, the Peepl platform promises to give consumers back 5% to 10% on each order's value in the form of Peepl Tokens (PPL). However, they will be locked within the network for at least four to five years. Read More


 

A play-to-earn blockchain envisions a revolutionary token economy through the ‘perfect combination’ of DeFi and NFTs

A multichain encryption game has integrated DeFi and NFTs so that players can earn revenue from liquidity mining, trading digital collectibles, and battling dragons.

The new era of blockchain-based games involves more than advanced graphics and sophisticated gameplay. Through the advent of technologies that enable decentralized finance (DeFi) and nonfungible tokens (NFTs), in-game incentives can turn into real-life financial rewards.

Dragon Mainland is a play-to-earn game that combines PvP (player vs player) and PvE (player versus environment) warfare, breeding dragons, free commerce, and collecting NFTs. By absorbing other dragon skulls, players can level up their own dragons and earn cryptocurrency in the game. The platform takes the experience one step further by offering players the opportunity to earn more by trading NFTs collected in-game and engaging in DeFi activities. Read More

Singapore is aggressively pursuing policies that will help the cryptocurrency sector grow.
