Bware Labs Launches MVP of High Performance Decentralized Node Network

Bware Labs, a startup developing a decentralized API platform that aligns incentives between end users and node providers, has released the MVP, or functional prototype, of their platform to the public. Users can now set up a dedicated node endpoint with just four clicks, obtaining access to blockchain data through RPC or WSS APIs. As part of this release, the end-user will be able to connect to the app through a MetaMask wallet and generate dedicated endpoints allowing them to interact with Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, or Ethereum mainnets, all in just four clicks and less than 30 seconds. Although free to use, a maximum of three endpoints (one Avalanche, one BSC and one Ethereum ) can be generated for each MetaMask wallet. In the MVP release, nodes are provided by Bware Labs to ensure smooth user onboarding and established performance standards. Once the platform reaches maturity, Bware Labs aims to create a two-sided market of node providers and consumers, creating a decentralized alternative to Infura or Alchemy. While requests are currently limited to 25 per second, Bware boasts half the latency of equivalent free plans by competitors and offers a choice from more supported blockchains. In order to guarantee reliability in the Bware Labs ecosystem, node providers will be asked to stake native tokens which will be susceptible to slashing, if the node underperforms. To reach the required stake, node providers will have the option to accept delegations and share reward fees with delegators, the only decentralized API platform to do so. Node users will pay the operators with a subscription model delivered through the MetaMask wallet. This realigns incentives between node operators, who are often conducting an altruistic task at no gain, with the node data users who are unwilling to host their own infrastructure. “Running blockchain nodes is critical to ensure the security of the network, but without a proper incentive structure in place, especially in the PoW-based Ethereum, centralization occurs naturally as only major ecosystem players are able to devote resources for hosting nodes,” said Flavian Manea, Bware Labs Co-Founder and CEO. “As an advisor of Bware Labs, I am very pleased with the progress the team is making towards releasing a fully decentralized API platform. But, more importantly, I am very eager for the Avalanche ecosystem to have this easy to use and extremely convenient option of gaining access to blockchain data. I truly believe this will streamline development efforts on various blockchains, which ultimately will lead to increased adoption.” said Nicholas Mussallem, Ava Labs Head of Product. About Bware Bware Labs provides an interface between Blockchain APIs, consumers and node providers, with integrated payment options and verified reliability all embedded within our platform and protocol service. The Bware Labs team boasts a rich experience in blockchain and tech companies, including Ankr, Intel, Fitbit, Google and Ericsson.

BullPerks to Become the First Decentralized VC and Launchpad Project to Support Most Popular Public Blockchains

Bullperks is happy to announce it will become the first platform and launchpad to support the most popular public blockchains by the end of June 2021. As a decentralized VC investment platform and token launchpad service, cross-compatibility across different blockchains is essential. As a result, Bullperks will provide access to Binance Smart Chain, Solana, Cardano, Polygon, Tezos, Polkadot, Kusama, TRON, and many other ecosystems. This move will prove beneficial for projects on any of these blockchains looking to raise funds through the Bullperks decentralized venture capital solution. Projects on the supported blockchains can send Bullperks their own native tokens and have them distributed to the buyers. This approach removes the need for wrapped tokens or conversions from one asset to the next. In addition, streamlining the fundraising and token distribution approach will ensure more projects have a fair chance at raising the necessary capital. Bullperks co-founder Eran Elhanani says: “We aim to get our token holders the best projects to participate in either early stages through our decentralized VC or later in public round through our launchpad. In doing so we will look into projects on any chain and judge them based on their potential and not just the chain they are. This approach gives us an advantage and a much wider selection to choose from and will allow us to be even more picky and find the best projects out there no matter what chain.” In the current landscape, the vast majority of token launchpad providers offer support for one or two blockchains at most. This limited appeal creates numerous drawbacks, especially with the demand for cross-chain support sounding louder than ever before. Supporting multiple blockchains and continually expanding the list will bring a lot of positive attention to Bullperks and how its team approaches the broader industry. About Bullperks Bullperks is the fairest and most community-dedicated Decentralized VC and multi-chain launchpad. 2 projects under 1 roof using the same token and revolutionary tier system.

Edtech Disruptor Studyum Launches Stage Four of IDO Pre-sale

Studyum, the Singapore-based blockchain-powered e-learning startup, is announcing a Stage four IDO pre-sale, beginning on the 10th of June, closing on the 15th of June. According to the company, there is a fundamental problem in all areas of education brought about by antiquated and poorly resourced non-linear education systems. To Studyum, this is by no means a criticism — more an observation of a phenomenal opportunity to disrupt the education technology industry and provide students with the personalization and attention they need to thrive. Studyum aims to fix these various issues with a unique combination of a highly developed learning management system, state-of-the-art interactive learning management tools, and a tokenized rewards system. By way of the application’s tokenomics micro-economy, Studyum students will be able to ‘learn & earn’ through tokenized rewards called ‘STUD Tokens.’ The company also intends to incorporate NFT gamification and 2D and 3D content for its students. Educators will also create unique NFT collectible cards, which students can then buy, trade, and swap. This application of artificial intelligence, smart-chat, 3D avatars, and NFTfi all in one education technology platform makes Studyum genuinely unique. The company’s founder, Igor Dyachenko, suffers from learning difficulties. Not content with the traditional one-size-fits-all education he received at school, he developed a learning style that worked best for his needs. By the age of seven, he had applied this same kind of thinking to learn Karate, which resulted in him becoming a two-time world Karate champion. “Educators are failing students by only using one book from the shelf,'” says Dyachenko. He adds: “I called bullshit on the school teachers’ systems. I could feel it wasn’t right or natural for the other kids or me. Right there, I decided I wasn’t going to accept this type of education system.” The company’s market opportunity takes into account a vast array of industry verticals. With this in mind, just as Ripple’s XRP is the token ‘face’ of the payment solutions company, Studyum aims to have STUD become the standard tokenized rewards for education across institutions, corporations, and governments. The visionary edtech startup’s IDO (Initial Dex Offering) pre-sale has just two more rounds to go. Studyum’s IDO will take place on DEX exchanges on Wednesday the 23rd of June, where the Stud Token price will rise to $0.10.You can find out more about Studyum and their token sale on their website: studyum.io.

Solanax: Redefining the DeFi sector

Decentralized finance has undergone somewhat of a boom over the last year. The advancement in blockchain technology and a global distrust of the traditional banking system have meant that the DeFi sector, according to Statista, had more than $80 billion of crypto locked during May 2021, a sizeable leap from the $15 billion locked as of December 2020. Therefore, it is no coincidence that as crypto boomed, so has DeFi. More people, financial institutions and even governments have joined the DeFi evolution, with El Salvador most recently becoming the first country to adopt Bitcoin (BTC) as legal tender. DeFi continues to see innovations and new projects that make transactions faster, cheaper and more accessible. Among them is Solanax. Solanax is an exciting new decentralized blockchain-based automated market maker built upon the innovative Solana protocol. Its vision is to take DeFi to new levels by providing the fastest, cheapest decentralized exchange without the need for any third-party involvement, ensuring that users in the Solanax ecosystem can trade without censorship or risk losing ownership of their assets. The Solana effect Solanax manages to provide the solution to existing issues surrounding DeFi. Everybody knows that the Ethereum mainnet proof-of-work consensus has major design flaws. It is slow, hard to scale, and has high transaction fees. To fix these problems, Solana was chosen as the underlying blockchain because it is the fastest-growing ecosystem in the crypto world in 2021. With the ability to provide an incredible 50,000 transactions per second, this permissionless, high-performance blockchain based on a proof-of-history consensus enables low-cost and high-speed transactions like no other. No more high gas fees. By using Solana, the Solanax platform offers near-zero fees to provide liquidity to an AMM pool, farm the liquidity provider token, and harvest the rewards. No more liquidity issues. Because liquidity providers prefer one exchange over another, traders will not have to pay for any slippage on the decentralized exchange with its limited liquidity. Limit orders. Regular AMMs will allow you to state the number of tokens to be traded and the amount of slippage. However, should the conditions not be met, the order and gas fee are wasted rather than waiting for a transaction to proceed. And if anyone has any doubts about the long term viability of Solana, one just has to look at the $314 million invested into Solana’s latest funding round, which was led by Andreessen Horowitz, one of Silicon Valley’s most prominent venture-capital firms, and Polychain Capital, a crypto hedge fund that also does VC-style investments. This was the crypto world saying it believes in Solana, giving a well-backed nod to its long-term success and the belief that Solana is widely expected to establish the new crypto standard for DEX platforms. The Solanax ecosystem Although it’s still in very early stages, there are a clear roadmap and project goals for Solanax. Within the Solanax ecosystem, there is more than just a lightning-fast and cheap DEX. Liquidity providers are incentivized to provide liquidity to low-volume assets for higher rewards, as they receive a share in direct proportion to the volume they provide to the pool. The DEX fee distribution is 0.3% for the taker and 0.2% for the maker. Solanax, as well as providing the fastest DeFi protocol presenting AMM and DEX, uses a wormhole bridge to access the entirety of crypto assets generated on the Ethereum network. The Wormhole is not a blockchain network, so it can safely depend on consensus and finalization of the chains that it bridges. Solanax is truly decentralized. All guardians perform the same computation upon observing an on-chain event and sign a so-called Validator Action Approval. Should a two-thirds majority of all guardian nodes observe and sign the same event using their individual keys, then it is automatically validated by the Wormhole contracts on all chains and triggers a mint/burn. A Solana (SOL) wallet will be required to store your funds on the Solana blockchain and utilize with Solanax’s features  SOLD is the native token of the Solanax ecosystem. With a total supply of 80,000,000 SOLD tokens, the distribution is: 5% team tokens, 15% liquidity, 15% staking, 25% private sale and 40% public distribution. Get into Solanax early and secure the rewards The next-level liquidity offered by Solanax is already proving to be a hit in the crypto world. As soon as private sales were announced, a large, growing and enthusiastic community sprung up immediately. Early adopters are rewarded with platform incentives, with 40% of their total token supply allocated to them. The ongoing private and public initial DEX offering on Solstater has garnered a wealth of interest. It is worth checking its active social media accounts for further information on the airdrop, initial exchange offering and private sale. The private sale began on June 6 and ends on June 25. To enquire, you can contact: sales@solanax.org. In the first airdrop, 2,000 people will share a prize pool worth $50,000 of SOLD tokens, the details of which can be found here.

PlanetWatch Announces the Listing of the PLANETS Token on Bitfinex Exchange

 Planetwatch, a French start-up which decentralizes and incentivizes environmental monitoring, announced that its utility token, PLANETS, will be listed on Bitfinex on June 4th. PLANETS are the first Algorand Standard Asset (barring stablecoins) to be supported on a major international exchange. Claudio Parrinello, PlanetWatch’s CEO said: “This is a major milestone for PlanetWatch. Less than 18 months after company creation, and despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we have managed to demonstrate that our Smart City as a Service solution, based on community sensor deployment and crowdsourced air quality data, can deliver business-grade data feeds in a fast and cost-effective way.” PlanetWatch revolutionizes the way we measure air quality by using the Algorand Blockchain, IoT-enabled sensors and AI-based data analysis. PlanetWatch incentivizes citizens to operate air quality sensors and earn token rewards for data streams. Sean Lee, CEO of the Algorand Foundation, said : “We are delighted to see Bitfinex support the PLANETS token. The PlanetWatch team have shown outstanding vision and innovation in creating their “Smart City”aaS concept and choosing to create their utility token ecosystem on Algorand’s sustainable, carbon negative blockchain network. We are excited to see the world discover the amazing potential of crowd sourced air quality monitoring and the PLANETS token.” PlanetWatch is focusing on air pollution, because it causes over 7 million deaths per year (source: WHO). In addition, recent studies provide evidence linking long-term exposure to air pollution with an increase in mortality from COVID-19 infection, as well as a significant risk of infection via aerosol in indoor spaces, where air quality can be a proxy for infection risks. PlanetWatch is strongly supported by high-profile partners such as Algorand, the Algorand Foundation and CERN, the leading physics research lab in the world, where the Web was born. As provider of environmental data, PlanetWatch was naturally led to partner with Algorand which provides a highly scalable, decentralized and secure blockchain which is also one of the “greenest” for energy consumption. As far as CERN is concerned, PlanetWatch is the only company in the global blockchain ecosystem to be an official “CERN Spin-off”. PlanetWatch’s network is growing very fast. It currently comprises approximately 700 sensors, mostly in Europe and the USA. Based on the current installation pipeline, the 1,000 sensor milestone will be reached in a few weeks.
