24th August 2021, Douglas, Isle of Man—FUNToken.io has announced the launch of DPLAY.Casino as the first stand-alone casino to accept the FUNToken (FUN) and ONLY the FUNToken. As such, it’s completely anonymous, requiring only an Ethernet wallet that can accept your FUNTokens (you can use Metamask or Changelly if your wallet doesn’t support FUN yet). And you could win a trip to Vegas just for playing.

Adriaan Brink, FUNToken’s CEO says,

“This is just the beginning for FUNToken utilization. Our partners operating DPLAY understand the importance of de-centralizing their games and making them provably fair. Watch this space for further announcements as we move FUNToken off the chain with a new layer two coin.”

From an online casino player’s perspective, DPLAY ticks all of the boxes.

There are four versions of Blackjack, four versions of Baccarat, four versions of Poker-style games, with Hold ‘em Poker the most like playing a real heads up game, and Classic Roulette, with one green zero spot, European style—better odds than the American zero/double zero wheel.

And some local favorites, such as Wheel of Fortune, Andar Bahar and Dragon Tiger.

For slots enthusiasts, prepare for a NEW experience. Your favourite Microgaming or Pragmatic Play games are NOT (yet, at least) on the site, but you’ll find some NEW favourites from the supplier OneTouch. Less well known than Playtech, but their slots games are of surprisingly high quality!

Neon2077 is an early favourite on the site, with a medium volatility and a good RTP of 96.29%. Cyberpunk-ish with a 1024 ways to win and a 4000x max win, easy to see why early adopters are opting for this game.

Wild Wild West 2120 is another futuristic, but steampunk rather than cyber style, that’s caught the eye of players. High volatility with about a 95% RTP and with 30 lines.

Looking for more ways to win? Flexing Dragons has 117,649 ways. This high volatility game with an RTP of 96.05% brings on cave-dwelling dragons for a max win of 10,000x+. That max win is the same as the unusual Loot or Boot game—hit the I button in the game for instructions on how to play across its five levels of difficulty. Looking for a LOW volatility game? Try Steam Vault, Tiki Terror or Golden Stripe.

All the OneTouch game look beautiful on the desktop but they are designed to be mobile-first, unlike most of the game suppliers. You can find out more about them at OneTouch.io.

Live dealers, for roulette and baccarat, are only a “sprint” away, according to DPLAY’s developers. 

Every time you play, you’ll also be entered into a contest for a trip to Vegas. The winner will be drawn mid-September from tickets awarded with every FUNToken used. Full details on the site: DPLAY.Casino.

From a crypto-perspective, DPLAY.casino is the base for building the first properly decentralized casino. Posting-up and leaving your hard-earned tokens will be a thing of the past.

18th August 2021, Basel, Switzerland — For the first time in history, NFTs are being used for a transfer of IP ownership in medical research. This unique milestone is a result of a partnership between biopharma IP marketplace Molecule, and VitaDAO, a decentralized collective (DAO) funding longevity research, and the University of Copenhagen. This innovation is enabled by a groundbreaking data storage solution developed by web3 technology innovator Nevermined.

VitaDAO, Nevermined and Molecule Overcome Biopharma Industry Challenges 

Early-stage biopharma research is the lifeblood that fuels advances in medicine. However, many domains in biopharma suffer from chronic underfunding or commercialisation challenges that prevent innovation from reaching patients. Legal complexity, illiquidity of IP assets and lack of access to investors contribute to the problem for researchers. 

By applying Web3 technology, Molecule is enabling a world where researchers get access to an open marketplace that makes novel research and IP discoverable, universally fundable and distributes ownership. Nevermined’s data storage and access control frameworks create entirely new ways of how the data rights surrounding this IP can be transacted with and accessed.

VitaDAO recently became the first benefactor of this advancement. The collective used Molecule’s protocol and IP NFT framework to acquire IP resulting from longevity research run at the Danish Scheibye-Knudsen Lab and transferred ownership to VitaDAO.

Molecule CEO Paul Kohlhaas stated: 

“This NFT transfers marks a historic milestone for both the NFT and biopharma space. It’s the first time real-world pharma IP is transacted on a blockchain, while also moving into custodianship of a DAO.”

Combining Legal Frameworks with Web3 Interoperability

The early-stage research phase is plagued by a phenomenon coined the Valley of Death – where funding is hard to obtain, meaning many promising discoveries never make it to market. Molecule is building a marketplace for biopharma IP. 

A specialised technical framework combines legal agreements such as IP licenses with the novel technology of NFTs and decentralised secure data storage networks that are coupled with the NFT. By ledgering ownership rights on Ethereum, Molecule is building a marketplace for liquid biopharma research data and IP via NFTs. Researchers and biotechs list their projects and discoveries, receive funding via DeFi and can connect directly with patients. Paul Kohlhaas added:

“IP NFTs could effectively replace patent models and become new value drivers thanks to Nevermined’s data storage frameworks. We hope to enable a myriad of use cases like this, first focusing on longevity and mental health and then broadly becoming a sort of “OpenSea” for Biotech NFTs that helps empower new research organizations like VitaDAO.” 

Simultaneously, new vehicles to collaborate and fund research are forming in the web3 space. VitaDAO is a “Decentralised Autonomous Organisation” that collectively funds early longevity research projects via its community contributors. In June 2021, it raised $5 million from hundreds of individuals via a Gnosis batch auction – placing the organisation directly into the hands of its community. Now it is on a mission to finance the most promising longevity research endeavours and decentralise their ownership.

Want to Live Forever? There’s an NFT for That

The complex requirements for storing, transferring and accessing IP-related files require more than just a standard NFT. Nevermined implemented its Access Control module to create NFTs on steroids with Molecule. These novel NFTs enable the transacting parties to engage with the underlying protected research data via federated access control. This use case has a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical industry.

 Nevermind CTO Aitor Argomániz stated: 

“Access Control allows creators and owners of digital assets to attach conditions to an NFT. Think of things like pricing, verified users, privacy parameters, etc.. At the same time, it acts as a Gateway to guarantee that only parties that fulfill certain conditions can get access to the underlying documents.”

The module is also cross-tech-compatible. This allows apps to make secure, critical connections between Ethereum, the cloud (e.g AWS) and decentralised hosting (e.g Arweave). This is the only way to guarantee a Certificate of Authenticity with permanence, traceability and privacy built-in..

AscendEX, a global cryptocurrency platform, is excited to announce our newest listing: iTrust token (ITG), under the pair USDT/ITG on AUG 17 at 1 p.m. UTC. In celebration of the listing, AscendEX and the iTrust Finance team will jointly launch three limited-time promotional events providing participants a chance to share 50,000 USDT in ITG rewards! 

iTrust Finance is a capital allocation solution for DeFi insurance projects. Entering into a blue ocean market, iTrust aims to improve the capacity of insurance protocols for different DeFi insurance projects and commit themselves to helping DAO users and users of various insurance protocols enter the market under better conditions. The platform also provides them with a variety of income strategies according to their risk appetite.

iTrust Finance operates as a Decentralized Autonomous Organisation (DAO) focused on alleviating the existing pain points in the DeFi insurance sector. They focus on three factors to enhance efficiency and drive growth for DeFi insurance protocols: efficiency, returns, and simplicity.

iTrust Finance provides a win-win solution for all parties of the DAO and underlying insurance protocols. Being Managed Yield Aggregator for the DeFi insurance industry, they operate as a capital allocator, working with underlying insurance protocols to build essential “cover capacity.” iTrust Finance creates a mutually beneficial relationship between stakers and insurance protocols by maximizing rewards and growing cover capacity for all DAO participants in the wider DeFi community.

What differentiates iTrust from the competition is that, rather than providing individual cover, they are increasing the amount of available cover supply for other protocols to provide premiums, users to purchase premiums, and stakers to earn network rewards. At its core, iTrust enables more efficient and fluid issuance of insurance cover for the benefit of the entire ecosystem.

Overall, iTrust seeks to improve efficiency and usability in the DeFi insurance marketplace for individuals and insurance service providers by leveraging the staking of their native token, ITG.

AscendEX, a global cryptocurrency financial platform with a comprehensive product suite, is excited to announce the listing of PolkaFoundry token (PKF) under the pair USDT/PKF on Aug 10 at 1 p.m. UTC. 

PolkaFoundry is a platform for building borderless and frictionless DeFi and NFT dApps on Polkadot. PolkaFoundry aims to be the most convenient platform for developers to build DeFi and NFT dApps with easy access to mainstream end-users. PolkaFoundry will achieve this by utilizing Polkadot’s interoperability and scalability and integrating various DeFi-friendly services with the platform. In addition, PolkaFoundry focuses heavily on the ease of use for the UX and features of their dApps, promoting mainstream adoption.

The native token PKF has several utilities, including payment for services and transaction fees in the PolkaFoundry ecosystem and payments for PolkaFoundry’s partners’ services. In addition, PKF is used for staking and governance so users can earn shares of block rewards and participate in the on-chain governance process to vote on proposals for additional rewards.

PolkaFundry believes that the most significant barrier to blockchain adoption is the complexity of the UX on most platforms and dApps. The average person has difficulty engaging with crypto projects because many projects did not design their UX’s for mainstream users. Concepts like wallets, private keys, coins, exchanges, etc. require education and can confuse new users, hence leaving many dApps with a small active user base. Polkafoundry has spent years researching dApp UX’s and has used their research to build the UX into PolkaFoundry for  novice users and professionals to access and use the platform easily.

Polkadot promises a fast-growing ecosystem with security, scalability, and interoperability, so PolkaFoundry decided to build its platform on it. To enable dApps to port from Ethereum, PolkaFoundry is EMV-compatible. PolkaFoundry’s foundational goal is to bring the benefits of blockchain to the masses by making its products and services accessible to people outside the crypto community.
