iMining Technologies Inc. Enters the MetaVerse and Becomes a Publicly Listed Web3.0 Company

Published

on

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 15, 2021) – iMining Technologies Inc. (TSXV: IMIN) (the “Company” or “iMining“) is pleased to announce that it has become a publicly traded Web3.0 company, involved in virtual currency mining, digital asset staking and trading. In addition to its current operations, iMining has entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with 1850142 Ontario Inc. (the “Seller”), for iMining to acquire the Seller’s assets which include digital land in the Decentraland Metaverse (the “Transaction”). Through this acquisition, iMining is purchasing land in the Metaverse to develop the future of work and how organizations, professionals and employees will interact and work together going forward. This transaction will also provide iMining with a collection of 16 NFT assets of Crypto Kitties and NBA Top Shots.

IMIN will acquire the Assets in consideration of CAD $300,000 payable upon receipt by IMIN of regulatory acceptance of the transaction, and the issuance and delivery of 2,500,000 common shares of IMIN (the “Shares”) at a deemed price of $0.12 per share. The Shares will be subject to a four-month hold period, after which escrow conditions will apply whereby the shares will be released as to 25% every 3 months.

With this acquisition, iMining will complete the puzzle and will have developed an infrastructure to become a Web3.0 technology company. Web3.0 is the next evolution in computing and information technology, after the transition from Web1.0 to Web2.0, as early-stage applications of this technology are already here. Web3.0 will bring together the convergence of Augmented and Virtual Reality technology, IOT devices, distributed ledger technology (blockchain), Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning.

Web3.0 is a decentralized method of accessing the information on the Internet and it is built using the blockchain technology. Currently, large corporations and entities hold the data and information which is provided by individuals. However, in the new age of Web3.0, it is believed that the information and data will be held on the blockchain and individuals will control their own data. This way the benefits will be shared with the entire community rather than just the owners of the technology.

“We are on the cusp of major technological transformation and some people are oblivious to it entirely. The advent of new technology or the evolution of existing technologies, which changes how people interact with no clear future impact, is intimidating initially. However, we at iMining are working with our strategic partners to provide our investors and clients with an end-to-end solution so they can easily participate in the growth of Web3.0 and benefit from it,” said Khurram Shroff, President and CEO of the Company. “Web3.0 will entirely change how people interact with technology and with each other. This is an exciting time and I remain confident that iMining is positioned as thought leaders to assist this entire industry grow. iMining has established itself to provide public market investors exposure to Web3.0, the next evolution of Internet.”

Dogecoin Unveils Strategic Blockchain Movement

Expanding Beyond a Meme Coin

Dogecoin, often viewed as a lighthearted cryptocurrency, is making serious strides toward blockchain utility with a new strategic initiative aimed at expanding its use case beyond simple transactions. The Dogecoin Foundation has announced plans to integrate layer-2 solutions, smart contracts, and interoperability features, potentially positioning DOGE as a serious competitor in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.

This move signals a shift in the perception of Dogecoin, which has long relied on community-driven momentum. With the new strategy, DOGE could become an integral part of the growing Web3 ecosystem.

Web3 Companies Struggle with Domain Name Challenges

Decentralization vs. Traditional Domain Ownership

As blockchain companies push forward with Web3 adoption, many are encountering significant hurdles in securing relevant domain names. Unlike traditional domains governed by ICANN, blockchain-native domains such as .crypto and .eth exist outside standard regulatory frameworks, leading to disputes and accessibility issues.

Industry experts are calling for greater collaboration between blockchain projects and domain registrars to ensure seamless Web3 adoption while maintaining online accessibility for users.

From Apes to Humans: ApeChain Joins Humanity Protocol’s zkProofer Network to Scale Proof of Humanity

Published

from-apes-to-humans:-apechain-joins-humanity-protocol’s-zkproofer-network-to-scale-proof-of-humanity

Humanity Protocol, a leader in on-chain Proof of Humanity (PoH) and decentralized identity, is today announcing its partnership with ApeChain, the blockchain powering the ApeCoin ecosystem. ApeChain will join Humanity Protocol’s zkProofer network, a decentralized infrastructure for privacy-preserving identity verification. This partnership positions ApeChain at the forefront of integrating Sybil-resistant, human-centric identity solutions, enhancing governance, utility, and trust across the ApeCoin ecosystem.
Humanity Protocol has established itself as the leading identity layer for Web3 with over 2.5 million users onboarded during its testnet and an impending mainnet launch. Humanity Protocol leverages its Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) framework and PoH technology to deliver unique human authentication for decentralized applications. zkProofers, key components of this framework, validate identities using zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring privacy while maintaining trust. As a zkProofer, ApeChain will play a pivotal role in scaling this identity network, enabling privacy-preserving verification for its users without compromising personal data.
ApeChain, the blockchain underpinning the vibrant ApeCoin ecosystem, supports decentralized applications across NFTs, DeFi, gaming, and governance. Its commitment to scalability, security, and interoperability makes it an ideal partner for Humanity Protocol. By integrating PoH and becoming part of the zkProofer network, ApeChain is elevating its ecosystem with innovative identity solutions designed to bridge the gap between the digital and physical worlds.
With Proof of Humanity, ApeDAO governance will benefit from greater transparency and fairness. Verified human identities tied to voting will prevent Sybil attacks and foster genuine community engagement while maintaining user privacy. This partnership addresses longstanding challenges in decentralized governance, enabling ApeDAO to operate more effectively and equitably.
Terence Kwok, Founder and CEO of Humanity Protocol said: “Partnering with ApeChain as a zkProofer is a significant milestone in advancing decentralized identity. Humanity Protocol’s Proof of Humanity framework will enhance governance, unlock new utility for NFTs, and create privacy-preserving experiences that bridge digital ownership with real-world interactions. This collaboration represents a shared commitment to building secure, human-centric systems that drive innovation in Web3.”
Waabam, ApeCoin Special Council Member and ApeChain Director, said: “This partnership with Humanity Protocol represents a pivotal step forward for the ApeCoin and ApeChain ecosystem. By joining Humanity Protocol’s zkProofer network and integrating its groundbreaking Proof of Humanity technology, we are enhancing not only the security and fairness of our governance processes but also unlocking new possibilities for utility and engagement across our ecosystem.”
