Month: October 2021

Vilnius, Lithuania, 26th October, 2021,

The art platform superhow.ART is launching a special NFT auction. During a week-long event, a genuine oil painting, “Head with Legs,” by one of the greatest Russian surrealist artists, Oleg Tselkov, will be auctioned together with the corresponding NFT. 

Competition: Whales vs. Shrimps

During the auction, superhow.ART will host an experimental competition between big investors and the community of enthusiasts to see who has more power in their hands. 

Organizers are introducing two bidding sides: Whales and Shrimps. All bids placed by the Shrimps are accumulated into a pool, which will compete with the Whale’s bid. If a Whale wins, they get the actual painting, and the corresponding NFT is assigned to them. 

If Shrimps win, it will be split into multiple parts that correspond to the Shrimp bids and assigned to their wallet addresses. The painting will remain in the gallery but will become co-owned. 

“We want to check if whales are stronger than the community. Maybe the community will show that small market players with joint forces can win and become fractional owners of this beautiful investment asset,” explains Vytautas Kašėta, the CEO of superhow.ART.

The Future of Art

The NFT market is booming; however, the skeptics question the actual financial and artistic value of .jpg images claimed to be worth millions. By leaving the current NFT hype aside, the project encourages the art community to invest in an authentic, truly valuable piece of art and digital asset.

As blockchain technology is rapidly adopted, Kašėta and the superhow.ART team believe that this is a significant time for galleries and art investors to get on top of technological advancements to bring new ideas to the community and create hybrid solutions that bridge the physical with the digital.

“To tokenize fine art means you make it accessible to more people by implementing the partial ownership concepts used in superhow.ART. All this is making a huge impact on art investors. They need to evolve together with the market and become more flexible and liberal if they want to keep their positions,” claims Kašėta.

Blockchain, in its essence, empowers the community and decentralization. It can potentially alter power dynamics in the consolidated art market and bring a new level of transparency.

“We will always need experts for proof of authenticity, provenance, valuation, yet new technologies will help and automate the processes, bring much more transparency, social relations, social acceptance,” reassured Kašėta. 

Committed to Innovation

SUPER HOW? is an innovative research and development company committed to harnessing the power of blockchain for the advancement of society with next-generation solutions. The team strongly believes that blockchain, in convergence with other new technologies, is the backbone of almost all the prominent infrastructure with vast potential in many domains. 

Entering the art world is the next step for the company to enhance the adoption of blockchain technology and define the future for NFTs. According to the team, it should be about art and culture, not hype or low-quality images.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands, 22nd October, 2021,

Transient Network, a Smart Contract Global Marketplace, is thrilled to announce that it has raised $1.2 million via Initial DEX Offering (IDO) on two different launchpads – Genesis Pool and Lemonade. Transient ($TSCT) raised $1 million in an oversubscribed public sale on Genesis Pool and $200,000 via Lemonade. The Lemonade sale reached its $200,000 milestone in just 90 minutes!

Transient is building the “Amazon of smart contracts” – a global marketplace of decentralized applications (dApps) designed to help non-coders create smart contracts for specific use cases and industries. Individuals and businesses, even those with zero knowledge of coding, can use the relevant dApp on the marketplace to create self-enforcing and self-executing smart contracts.

Prior to the IDO public sale, Transient had raised $275,000 in a seed round that saw participation from Exit Forward — a venture capital firm supporting forward thinking projects — and a number of silent advisors. 

It had also raised $1.2 million in a private ($TSCT) token sale. Given the nature of the project, Transient decided to raise primarily from a group of individual investors rather than seeking greater participation from whales or prominent venture capitalists.

Speaking on the fundraising milestone, Transient Network CEO Beau Olson said, “After a long road to get here, we are absolutely thrilled and excited to have completed our private and public raises – with a number of keen investors and launchpads snapping up the opportunity to get in at the very beginning of our journey ahead – we particularly thank our seed investors Exit Forward and launchpad partners GPool and Lemonade. We at Transient can now focus on bringing the world our Smart Contract Global Marketplace, allowing coders and non-coders alike to leverage our smart contracts for anyone, anywhere, anytime.”

Since the launch of Ethereum, smart contracts have become one of the biggest components of the blockchain space. But until now, only people with programming skills could take advantage of them. 

Transient believes that the benefits of smart contracts – immutability, transparency, speed, accuracy, and hyper-security – shouldn’t be limited to transactions and agreements between coders. Enabling non-coders to create and interact with smart contracts could drive blockchain adoption at the grassroots level. 

The first four dApps on Transient’s marketplace are:

• TSC-Core: A standard smart contract creation and management app with features like transfer, deposit and digital signature.
• CryptoPool: Enables users to create their own pools for crypto price predictions and share in the winnings. 
• Esports: Builds an ecosystem of P2P market creation of your favorite competitions and a number of other services — taking social betting and content-driven experiences to the next level.
• NDA: Lets users create smart contracts that make it easier to work with clients and partners. Transient’s legal advisors ensure the contracts are bulletproof within the legal landscape.

About Transient

Transient is a decentralized ecosystem that gives non-coders the ability to create and manage their own Next-Gen Contracts in the digital world. Its Smart Contract Global Marketplace is built from the ground up to increase blockchain adoption across every sphere of industry and life by hosting and enabling the instantaneous creation and distribution of a wide range of self-enforcing and self-executing Smart Contracts.

Road Town, BVI,, 19th October, 2021,

OpenOcean positions itself as the go-to place for best-priced cross-chain swaps. Its combination of margin pools for greater capital efficiency and intelligent wealth management services have attracted institutional interest. There is a vast ocean of liquidity in the cryptocurrency world, and OpenOcean makes it possible for anyone to dive right in.

The launch of OpenOcean V2, dubbed OpenOcean Atlantic, introduces a lot of new features. OpenOcean Atlantic runs across aggregated networks, including Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Solana, and Fantom. There is also support for OKExChain, Tron, Ontology, and Heco. Later on, we will support Ethereum. Users will benefit from maximized returns outperforming any other DEX aggregator on the market. More importantly, all of these benefits are accessible free of charge.

OpenOcean Atlantic implements a superior algorithm and protocol upgrade set to trade for the best possible returns. The algorithm leverages multiple parameters, such as better price, lower gas fee & slippage, and optimized routing. As a result, users no longer need to worry about these aspects and potentially higher fees from exploring alternative routes. Instead, OpenOcean Atlantic will ensure you get the most out of each swap. 

The OpenOcean Atlantic solution underwent rigorous testing by the team. Over 4,587 test cases on BSC were conducted to determine if the higher-than-expected returns kept up. The result is showing Atlantic is better in 60% of the cases, giving it a strong competitive edge over other leading DEX aggregators. The OpenOcean team experimented with its native solution, ParaSwap, and 1inch across multiple batches with different trade volumes across different blockchains to conduct the tests. Even when tests were conducted in parallel, OpenOcean Atlantic came out top of the class rather regularly.

Beyond the OpenOcean Atlantic upgrade, the team has also enhanced the routing algorithm, front page, and roadmap. The trading terminals will be overhauled soon and offer enhanced features. For example, a future update will bring stop-loss and limit orders to OpenOcean Atlantic, removing the need for users to wait around or certain market conditions. Another addition to look forward to in the future is grid trading for volatile assets.

Furthermore, OpenOcean continues to make continuous tweaks and improvements to its products and services. The focus lies with improving spot trading and derivative aggregations, two features that will benefit traders globally. The team also explores opportunities for margin trading to enable greater capital efficiency in this trading segment. 

Launched in September 2020, OpenOcean has achieved numerous milestones since then. The technology stack has run smoothly for over a year and currently aggregates ten networks and over 50 exchanges. Moreover, there are over 350,000 active addresses on the platform. OOE, the native utility token, launched in July 2021 and is used for governance voting, trading function and services, and supplying liquidity. 

About OpenOcean

OpenOcean is a one-stop full chain aggregation protocol that acts as a bridge between DeFi and CeFi. It eliminates the fragmentation that exists within the DeFi ecosystem by giving users access to the entire crypto market via a single, user-friendly interface. Users enjoy full access to aggregated liquidity and best pricing from a wide range of centralized and decentralized exchanges.

Tallinn, Estone, 14th October, 2021, Chainwire

Leading digital asset wealth management platform grows assets to $339 million and sponsors West Ham United just eight months from public launch 

YIELD App, a FinTech company and digital asset wealth management platform, has published its Q3 report, showing the firm continuing on a strong growth trajectory over the third quarter of 2021, which saw it double its managed assets and strike a high profile partnership with Premier League football club, West Ham United. 

The quarter saw YIELD App’s managed assets increase by 107% from $163.6 million at the end of June 2021 to $339.4 million by the end of September, marking a bold first nine months for YIELD App following its beta launch in December 2020 and public launch in February of this year.

YIELD App said the increase had been driven in large part by the launch of its Bitcoin Fund in July, which reached its cap of 500 BTC in just a few days of its first fundraising round. The re-opening of the fund in August also saw one of the firm’s biggest days for new user sign-ups, with close to 1,500 new users joining on August 20th. 

Asset growth was further boosted by a growing number of corporate and institutional clients, with YIELD App reporting that it now serves well over 60 clients in this segment, ranging from blockchain companies to traditional investment vehicles to family offices across Europe, Asia, and Australia. 

The report states that the highlight of the three months to the end of September, however, was YIELD App’s partnership with West Ham United, a Premier League football club based in London in the UK. YIELD App is now the official Digital Asset Wealth Management partner of the club until the end of the 2021/22 season in June 2022.

YIELD App says the deal will see the digital wealth management platform feature throughout West Ham United’s communications with its 60 million fans across the world, significantly broadening the reach of digital assets to mainstream audiences.

The Q3 report also sees YIELD App enhance its transparency by significantly expanding its portfolio reporting to include extensive information on risk management, insurance pools, and how the firm invests users’ funds. The firm says it has contracted top blockchain auditing and accounting firm Armanino to report on its reserves, while it is also partnering with up-and-coming DeFi risk-modeling platform Credmark for further auditing. 

Commenting on the YIELD App Q3 Report, Tim Frost, CEO of YIELD App, said: “In the nine months since our beta launch in December 2020, YIELD App has gone from strength to strength, growing at an unprecedented pace. In the latest quarter alone, we have seen our managed assets more than double and secured an exciting new partnership with West Ham United that places us among the top tier of digital asset wealth platforms. 

“I couldn’t be more pleased with how the first nine months of our business have gone and I am thoroughly looking forward to the successes that await us in the last three months of the year, and beyond. With our strong and growing team and our market-beating proposition, I am confident YIELD App will become a leading platform for anyone interested in digital assets, anywhere in the world.”

United States, USA, 13th October, 2021,

The co-inventors of the early blockchain, Drs. Stuart Haber and W. Scott Stornetta, are joining with a team of industry-leading partners to commemorate the birth of blockchain technology, its past, present, and future. It’s a tribute to the journey and the community.

Today’s announcement marks the 30th anniversary of the public appearance of what might be called the “genesis block” of what is in fact the world’s oldest continuously running primitive blockchain, as explained here.

The celebration will conclude on January 03, 2022, the 13th anniversary of the Bitcoin genesis block.  Bitcoin’s design, as described in Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper, Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, relies on Haber and Stornetta’s mechanism for ensuring the integrity of all of its transactions.  In fact, three of Satoshi’s eight footnotes reference their technical papers. 

The history of the blockchain will be celebrated with a collection of NFTs that both involve and honor the founders, innovators, and thought leaders of the blockchain community. The NFTs, demonstrating the range and diversity of the blockchain ecosystem, will be auctioned through a novel mechanism and will involve a number of innovative layer-1 blockchains and their communities.

Jason Bailey, global thought leader in NFTs and founder of Artnome.com and ClubNFT, said, “Without the work of Stuart Haber and Scott Stornetta there are no NFTs, no Bitcoin, and no blockchain. I’m thrilled that they are using this opportunity to create an NFT with the goal of unifying everyone within the blockchain ecosystem in a way that I believe only they can.”

“Kadena is thrilled and honored to participate in Immutable Record’s celebration of blockchain,” said Stuart Popejoy, the co-founder and CEO of the Kadena blockchain and smart contract platform. “Immutable Record’s NFT offering drives the space forward with a multi-protocol approach that also exploits many of Kadena’s unique advantages such as institutional-quality provenance, entirely on-chain minting, and custom marketplaces.” 

Haber and Stornetta concluded with “We are happy to join the celebration of the blockchain, and will be announcing the involvement of other leading layer-1 blockchains and thought leaders. Stay tuned. The best is yet to come.”

San Francisco, California, 13th October, 2021,

San Francisco-based decentralized wireless network, Nodle grants Berty Foundation, a privacy communication protocol, $1 million in Nodle Cash in a bid to boost the development of its messaging Bluetooth peer-to-peer capabilities. The grant will be used in the development and advancement of Berty’s platform that enhances users’ privacy while chatting and sending messages across its network. 

Launched in 2018, Berty offers its users an alternative to instant messaging platforms, providing privacy-first solutions in the messaging world. According to its website, Berty provides users with a privacy-by-default platform ensuring that messages’ security and privacy remain paramount to all users. The platform is built by Berty Technologies “using the best encryption protocol available,” the website further states. 

Speaking on the grant, Micha Benoliel, CEO and Co-Founder of Nodle said, 

“We are thrilled to help and support the Berty Foundation to advance its privacy-first communication protocol. Privacy is at the heart of the Web 3.0 revolution and one of the core values of Nodle.”

The French startup does not store any of users’ data on a central server but rather on a decentralized platform despite data encryption. Additionally, on Berty only the needed metadata is actually collected, and they minimize collection to the greatest extent in the hope to create a messaging service that guarantees anonymity and confidentiality of all users. The platform targets privacy-focused groups, messaging apps, social network users, and general users looking to protect their data from third parties. 

With the latest grant, Berty Foundation aims to extend the development of its messages’ privacy and anonymity, a statement from the team reads:

“Thanks to Nodle for their trust, this donation represents a real breakthrough for Berty. It will allow us to move forward more quickly on our new decentralized secure messaging protocol and the ability to communicate even without an Internet connection. More importantly, it will help secure the future of our organization.” 

The grant from Nodle, the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) network connecting millions of Internet of Things (IoT), will accelerate the development of Berty’s privacy communication protocol. Nodle chose the platform as it is one of the most advanced endeavors in the field of decentralized communications and reinforces the privacy values that Nodle supports in security and privacy. The two firms are planning to leverage each other’s tech or ecosystem in the future, the statement further confirmed. 

Nodle is a citizen-powered decentralized wireless network that allows anyone with a smartphone to join the network and earn Nodle Cash crypto through its Nodle Cash app. Developers and publishers of mobile apps can also monetize their applications by installing the Nodle networking library. As the Nodle network leverages the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) standard, any existing BLE device or sensor can easily leverage the network.

With the latest grant, Berty Technologies aims to achieve its vision of creating secure communication tools and fighting censorship in order to create an opportunity to connect with people all over the free world.

About Nodle | The Citizen Network™: 

Nodle is building the largest decentralized wireless network on Earth to connect objects and sensors that could never be connected before in a secure, low-cost, and eco-friendly manner. The Nodle Network is powered by millions of Bluetooth-enabled smartphone users who earn Nodle Cash for providing connectivity to nearby Bluetooth-enabled IoT devices and sensors. App developers and publishers have the opportunity to monetize their applications via the Nodle networking library which enables them to generate Nodle Cash for helping the network grow. Nodle’s powerful privacy-first IoT stack allows for many use cases including connecting and securing physical assets, tracking lost or valuable items, capturing sensor data, security certificates, providing decision-making insights for consumer electronics manufacturers, enterprises, smart cities, and the finance industry, and much more. The Nodle Cash app is available for iOS or Android.

Dubai, UAE, 13th October, 2021,

Morningstar Ventures, the dynamic accele rator of ambitious ideas in the blockchain space, has announced a $15 million USD investment fund aimed at projects building with Elrond blockchain technology, as well as a new strategic Elrond Incubator in Dubai.

Morningstar Ventures is a blockchain innovation firm that drives the proliferation of decentralized technologies through strategic placements in startups that it supports with funding, advisory and ecosystem building.

Elrond Network is the internet-scale blockchain that is currently capable of processing 15,000 transactions per second and can scale beyond 100,000 TPS, thanks to its groundbreaking Adaptive State Sharding technology that enables it to scale with demand by adding new shards as needed.

The smart contracts execution platform is carbon-negative by offsetting 25% more CO2 than its network of 3,200 Validators spread all over the world is accountable for. This makes the Elrond Network a truly sustainable, decentralized and highly performant blockchain infrastructure for DeFi, NFTs, IoT and the new internet economy.

“Elrond’s rapidly evolving internet-scale blockchain technology is perhaps the most advanced in the space, which creates an asymmetric opportunity for Elrond to rapidly catch up with – and perhaps even surpass – the biggest blockchain ecosystems.” said Danilo S. Carlucci, Morningstar Ventures Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer. “We’re thrilled to take this opportunity and build alongside the hardest working team and most engaged community.” 

Morningstar Ventures is ready to mobilize significant resources to raise awareness about opportunities in the Elrond ecosystem and will invest $15 million USD into disruptive decentralized projects building with internet-scale technology.

The first project to receive a strategic placement from the Morningstar fund is holoride, the Audi-backed extended reality media platform that seeks to add new dimensions to every car ride through the use of Virtual Reality, in-motion sensors, and haptic feedback devices, with a fair, transparent and sustainable content economy running on the Elrond blockchain.

Morningstar Ventures’s Elrond Dubai incubator will be focused on seizing strategic opportunities for the Elrond ecosystem in the UAE and across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, where blockchain technology sees rapidly growing interest at institutional and government levels.

“The explosive growth of the Elrond ecosystem happened with an unstoppable team building internet-scale technology and an amazing community supporting them. Now, major players such as Morningstar Ventures are making significant long term commitments aimed at the rapid adoption of our tech.” said Beniamin Mincu, Elrond Network CEO. “This signals the start of the next explosive growth phase for the Elrond ecosystem, where driven builders will leverage powerful devkits to  innovate at the forefront of the blockchain Supercycle.” 

Extraordinary teams looking to build with Elrond technology, that are at least in an advanced ideation phase, can reach out to Morningstar Ventures to apply for funding and support by sending an email at elrond@morningstar.ventures

About Elrond

Elrond is the internet-scale blockchain, designed from scratch to bring a 1000-fold cumulative improvement in throughput and execution speed. To achieve this, Elrond introduces two key innovations: a novel Adaptive State Sharding mechanism, and a Secure Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithm, enabling linear scalability with a fast, efficient, and secure consensus mechanism. Thus, Elrond can process upwards of 15,000 transactions per second (TPS), with 6-second latency, and negligible cost, attempting to become the backbone of a permissionless, borderless, globally accessible internet economy.

London, United Kingdom, 12th October, 2021,

Developers on Ethereum, Wanchain, Avalanche, Moonriver and more can integrate DOT into their applications using Wanchain’s decentralised blockchain interoperability solution.

Wanchain, the world’s premier decentralised blockchain interoperability solution, is pleased to announce the integration of Wanchain’s decentralised, non-custodial crosschain infrastructure with Polkadot. Polkadot is a sharded heterogeneous multichain architecture created by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood and is one of the most popular blockchain projects in the world. Polkadot’s native token is $DOT.

This integration connects Polkadot to the larger crosschain DeFi world. Direct bridges connecting Polkadot to Ethereum, Wanchain, Moonriver and Avalanche are already deployed, meaning that developers on all these blockchain networks can now build decentralised blockchain applications using $DOT. In other words, the top-10 cryptocurrency by market cap, $DOT, can now be traded crosschain and used with EVM-compatible smart contracts.

Li Ni, Wanchain VP of Business Development and Operations, states:

“We firmly believe that blockchain technology will only gain mainstream adoption once assets, data, commands and users are no longer isolated on a single chain or constrained by a single standard. Last month, Wanchain deployed crosschain bridges connecting Moonriver and Avalanche to the larger crosschain DeFi industry. Now, Wanchain is connecting Polkadot to the rest of the blockchain world.”

The next phase of blockchain innovation will be marked by the crosschain interoperability of assets, data, and smart contract calls. The addition of Polkadot reinforces Wanchain’s position as the world’s most advanced crosschain solution and marks an important step towards building an interoperable multichain future.

About Wanchain

True DeFi is interoperable — Wanchain, the Wide Area Network chain, is the world’s premier decentralised blockchain interoperability solution. Our mission is to drive blockchain adoption through interoperability by building fully decentralised bridges that connect the world’s many siloed blockchain networks. This crosschain infrastructure empowers developers to build truly decentralised crosschain applications to power the future of DeFi.

Delhi, India, 12th October, 2021,

Derived Finance, a Multi-Chain Synthetics Trading Platform, successfully completed a funding round that raised over $3.3 Million across more than 30 venture funds.  Some of the biggest firms in crypto investment participated in the funding round, led by GSR and including AU21, Poolz, Nabais Capital, Dweb3, Occamfi, Genblock Capital, among others.

The venture firms participating were enthusiastic about the value proposition of Derived, as well as the development progress made to date.  At its core, Derived takes its name from derived (or synthetic) tokens, which are representative of real tokens, stocks, or assets.    This allows traders of the assets to own them without having to hold the underlying asset, and any asset with a reliable or easily trackable price can be traded using derived tokens.  The benefit of using derived tokens is that users can gain exposure to the assets, providing leverage to trade both digital and traditional assets while still staying in a decentralised blockchain ecosystem.  

Bharat Verma, CEO of Derived Finance, said in response to the successful funding round:  “We are thankful to all the investors who reposed their faith in us and joined the fundraiser. More than 30 Venture funds participated in the funding round, with over $3.3 million raised.”

He added, “Together we will use the synergies to build Derived Finance, which is the next-gen Multi chain Synthetics Trading Platform.”

With the funds raised, key features are being developed for the Derived Finance platform.  Multi Chain Support will be key for the platform to operate across a wide variety of crypto ecosystems, and the team plans to be the first and only multi-chain Synthetics trading platform. The current lineup of supported ecosystems includes Polkadot, Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Cardano, and Avalanche, with additional capacity planned for all major chains in the future.  Staking rewards for traders is another key draw, with the ability to receive rewards while still able to use the staked token to trade on the platform.  To support the global market, Derived will support multiple currencies, allowing users to trade in their native currency while being able to trade on global derivatives.  

About Derived Finance:

Derived is a Multi-Chain Synthetics Trading Platform that is leveraging the interoperability features of Polkadot to make the platform available across Blockchains. The Derived platform allows leveraged minting (up to 3x) to its platform users. 

Derived will also be the first platform that would allow its user unique features like the ability to create and trade Hybrid Tokens and allow access to features like Binary Options, Multiple native currency support, 0% Slippage Dex with Unlimited liquidity among many others. The IDO will be conducted on 13th and 14th of October 2021.

– General Director of SmartEcoSystem LLC Vladislav Ivanov

YAY Games

YAY Games provides a platform for decentralized games built on Blockchain technology. The games featured on YAY store all in-game data like achievements, objects, actions in the public domain. Thus, it’s completely impossible to twist game mechanics in favor of the administration or the players.

YAY took the best of gaming and crypto industries by adding innovative mining game mechanics, which include the incorporation of and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) tokens and Decentralized Finance (Defi) features. The platform was built to target both gamers, crypto enthusiasts, and newcomers to the decentralized gaming industry.

Through the use of blockchain technology, YAY creates games for players to easily immerse themselves in fascinating virtual worlds, earn in-game achievements, participate in battles both against humans and computer opponents, and at the same time earn money while playing. 

Our research-based commentary: “Based on the analysis results of the decentralized games market at the end of 2020, we realized that the threshold for entering Defi games projects is very high for ordinary users, both in terms of financial investments and in terms of technical literacy. Therefore, we decided to develop a technical platform which will allow ordinary players to get acquainted with the crypto industry and decentralized projects by creating a friendly game with a very low entry threshold.” This decision was the Bold Point. Bold Point is an NFT-based collectible card RPG game using innovative mining mechanics. Thanks to its own Sidechain technology, Bold Point allows players to dive deeper into the world of decentralized finance and crypto industry and get all the benefits of financial innovation without connecting their real wallets: in fact, Sidechain is a sandbox within the game’s circuit. 

Bold Point

In Bold Point, gamers will have an abundance of options. Level up your character, gain experience in battles, learn devastating skills, and improve characteristics, thereby making your character stronger enough to fight in the battle arena.

All characters and achievements are unique NFT tokens that can be collected, bought, sold, and exchanged on the in-game NFT market. The game is based on an innovative gaming model at the junction of the Play-to-earn and Free-to-play models, where players can earn money without investing their funds to start the game or increase the value of their virtual assets.

For such projects, Bold Point is incredibly easy to explore and play. It’s pretty easy for newcomers to enroll in the world of decentralized finance with the help of educational and game mechanics. The most friendly approach is used to start the game – upon registration, Bold Point will carefully guide you through all the necessary steps.

Singapore, Singapore, 11th October, 2021,

Ojamu is excited to announce the listing of its native OJA token on the Uniswap platform, after selling out its IDO in minutes in the first ever triple-IDO on the PAID/IGNITION Global, Asia and India platforms. The Uniswap listing marks an essential milestone for the MarTech platform which leverages Ai (Artificial Intelligence), NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), and Blockchain technology, enabling Brands to reach their digital marketing goals.

Ojamu, a MarTech platform bringing the power of Blockchain, Ai, and NFTs to empower Brands in both the Blockchain/Crypto and non-Blockchain business spaces, has successfully listed its OJA token on Uniswap, a leading  decentralized global exchange providing several potential trading pairs for the $OJA token. 

The OJA token has been successful throughout its early lifecycle thus far. Ojamu raised $1.7 million through an oversubscribed private sale earlier this month. The private sale participants included Ascensive Assets, A195, Protocol Ventures, Moonrock Capital, MarketAcross, Master Ventures, Morningstar Ventures, X21, Rarestone Capital, Waterdrip Capital, Chain Capital and others.

The IDO sale of $OJA occurred through multiple PAID/IGNITION launchpads. First, members of these platforms could acquire the token through an Initial DEX Offering (IDO) across Ignition, PAID Network India, and PAID Network Asia. Ignition is PAID Network’s decentralized swapping protocol to help Blockchain service providers organize private and public auctions for tokens. During the IDO, investors could acquire tokens for a price of $0.1180.
