Curtain Falls on MIAM’s “Dream Space: New Wave in the Metaverse” NFT Art Exhibition

Published

on

 

The Metaverse Industry Association Macau (“MIAM“)’s first NFT exhibition, “Dream Space: New Wave in the Metaverse” (“the Exhibition“), wrapped up on 12 June. Debuted on 1 May at Lisboeta Macau’s H853 Fun Factory, the city’s first ever physical NFT exhibition greeted visitors with 37 artworks from the world’s notable artists and IPs.

Mr. Thomas Aofounder and President of MIAM, said, “Metaverse and NFTs were probably not on most people’s radar until just a year ago and now we are talking about Web3.0 and other revolutionizing themes – to some extent, we are presenting the future to people via this exhibition.”

The exhibition has featured 37 artworks from famed artists and IPs that included Macau’s own Álvaro Barbosa, Andreas Ivan (courtesy of Mr. Arnaldo Ho), BAYC (Bored Ape Yacht Club), CryptoPunks (both courtesy of Coinunited.io), David Yuan and Ting Song. The event also consisted video screenings from We Are What We Eat, a performance art feast for all five senses and the world’s only edible NFT dining experience (created by André Chiang), as well as METASENS, a large-scale metaverse theme park backed by Imperium Technology Group Limited (00776.HK). Meanwhile, visitors were invited to experience the fun of creating avatars and architecture at the Sandbox workshop, while the exhibition showcased multiple Sandbox creators’ works. The exhibition was curated by Mr. Cai Guojie, former Visual-Art instructor from Macau Art Museum.

“MIAM launched the first NFT exhibition in Macau because we want to initiate the metaverse conversation, probably demystify this space for some, and provide a platform for the likeminded in the region. The exhibition has marked a successful end, but it is the beginning of our mission, as we launch more initiatives to boost innovations and education.” Mr. Ao continued.

Earlier during the exhibition, MIAM hosted two online panel discussions that looked at some of the most trending topics, such as the relationships between web 3.0, NFTs, and the metaverse. The discussions were joined by representatives from industry players including The Sandbox and Beats by DRE.

In another effort to propel regional innovations, MIAM has set up a HK$1,000,000 Macau-exclusive creator’s grant fund that asks creators to create Macau-themed avatars, buildings, and games in The Sandbox.

“We would like to express our gratitude towards the visitors who came to our exhibition, H853 Fun Factory, Mr. Cai, all the participating artists and collectors who generously lent their art. We would not have been able to create a ‘Dream Space’ without their unwavering support. This is also an example of how we mobilize our resources to facilitate metaverse and NFT talk in the region.” Mr. Ao added.

Saakuru Leads the Gasless Blockchain Revolution, Disrupting the Industry

Published

on

saakuru-leads-the-gasless-blockchain-revolution,-disrupting-the-industry

Saakuru has recently achieved significant milestones in its development, positioning itself as a leader in the gasless blockchain revolution that is reshaping the industry. Within just nine months of its launch, the consumer-centric L2 protocol has entered the top 5 brands in its niche and records over 1.44 million weekly users, according to data from DappRadar.

The project is gearing up for the official launch of its Saakuru token ($SKR) by the end of April, supported by a successful private funding round that raised $2.4 million. Saakuru Protocol stands as a pioneering advocate of gasless technology, aiming to accelerate the adoption of Web3 into the mainstream by enhancing the user experience and reducing costs for both developers and end users.

Unlike traditional blockchain networks, which often suffer from high gas fees and security issues, Saakuru Protocol leverages Oasys High-Speed Optimistic Rollups to create a public-permission, gas-less L2 blockchain. This innovative approach eliminates gas fees, improves user experience, and introduces new tokenomics models, enabling the development of versatile decentralized applications with higher security standards, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use.

The Saakuru token serves as a multi-purpose token within the protocol, providing utility and governance. Its advanced burning mechanism gradually reduces the token supply while potentially increasing its value. The token is integrated into all operational layers of the Saakuru protocol:

1. Developer Layer (Saakuru Labs): Provides products and services with proprietary business models, burning 10% of profits.

2. DeFi Layer (Taffy DEX): Utilizes Taffy DEX technology, where 0.005% of transaction fees are converted to SKR tokens and burned.

3. Governance Layer: Enables token holders to participate in protocol governance, with 5% of tokens used for governance initiating the review process being burned.

4. Protection Layer: In the event of triggering the protection mechanism, SKR tokens are burned, with 3% of saved tokens being burned.

Through these innovative features and layers, the Saakuru token and protocol aim to drive adoption, enhance functionality, and provide sustainable value for users and stakeholders alike in the evolving blockchain landscape.

RFK Jr. Proposes U.S. Budget Transparency with Blockchain

Published

on

rfk-jr-proposes-us.-budget-transparency-with-blockchain

RFK Jr.’s innovative proposal seeks to revolutionize how the American public interacts with the national budget, leveraging blockchain technology to provide unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability.

Under this plan, every detail of the U.S. budget would be recorded on a blockchain ledger, accessible to the public 24/7. RFK Jr. highlighted the transformative potential of blockchain by emphasizing that “Every American can look at every budget item in the entire budget, anytime they want, 24 hours a day.” This approach aims to engage citizens in the fiscal management of the country, with the goal of ensuring that every dollar spent is visible and accountable.

The proposal promises several significant benefits. Firstly, it could substantially reduce corruption and misuse of funds by enabling real-time monitoring of budget allocations. Secondly, it could strengthen the relationship between citizens and their government, potentially fostering greater trust and civic engagement.

However, implementing such a system presents challenges. One major obstacle is the immense amount of data involved in transcribing the entire national budget onto a blockchain. This requires a highly robust and scalable blockchain infrastructure. Additionally, ensuring universal access and usability of this technology for all Americans may require extensive educational initiatives and improvements in digital infrastructure.

Moreover, there are concerns regarding privacy and security. While blockchain offers inherent security features, the continuous updating and review of vast amounts of data could pose vulnerabilities that need to be addressed to prevent breaches.

Nevertheless, the potential benefits of RFK Jr.’s proposal are compelling. If successful, it could serve as a model for other nations, demonstrating how blockchain can enhance transparency and public participation in government. Ultimately, this initiative has the potential to redefine the standards for accountability and transparency in government spending, marking a significant step forward in the management of public resources.
