Blockpass Supports DuckStarter’s Participating IDOs With Compliance Services

Blockpass is excited to reveal it will be working with a number of new solutions and companies as it provides compliance options to Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) on the DuckStarter platform. As DuckDAO’s token sale launchpad, the DuckStarter platform is involved with a large variety of IDOs. With Blockpass and DuckDao working together, KYC and AML provision will be quickly and easily accessible to all participants, ensuring security and regulatory compliance in the space.

DuckDAO is a community-backed incubator powered by an expansive network of investors in the digital asset ecosystem. DuckStarter is a token sale launchpad where users can access both public and special rounds for high-quality crypto projects. DuckStarter will act as the final bridge between early-stage projects and the community before the project goes fully public. DuckStarter has a unique level system which requires users to lock-in a certain amount of DUCK tokens to participate in the launch platform. DuckStarter has already helped launch a number of projects and has many more lined up, including PolkaFoundry, keyTango, Lepricon, and Cash Tech.

Blockpass is a digital identity verification provider which provides a one-click compliance gateway to financial services and other regulated industries. Through Blockpass, users can create, store, and manage a data-secure digital identity that can be used for an entire ecosystem of services, token purchases and access to regulated industries. For businesses and merchants, Blockpass is a comprehensive KYC & AML SaaS that requires no integration and no setup cost. You can set up a service in minutes, test the service for free and start verifying and on-boarding users.

“We’re excited to be working with DuckDAO and the DuckStarter platform to bring KYC services to a huge number of people as we see a surge of interest in IDOs with this current wave of DeFi development,” said Adam Vaziri, Blockpass CEO. “Our goal at Blockpass is to remove the pain points of compliance and with the range and quality of users on DuckDAO’s DuckStarter platform we have the privilege to bring our revolutionary and efficient solution to a new and expanding audience.”

“As one of the premiere KYC solutions providers in the crypto space, Blockpass has helped to smooth access to the burgeoning, but sometimes inaccessible crypto industry,” said DuckDAO Co-founder Ken. “Blockpass has done an incredible job at ensuring our IDOs are secured by a real, quality user base.”

Blockpass has grown significantly in size and use since its inception, both in the number and range of users and organizations it has partnered with, and the scope of its work. Blockpass continues to develop its digital identity protocol with updates and additions to improve the compliance experience. The existential need for DeFi projects to be regulatory compliant and the recent integrations have led to a surge in interest for Blockpass’ On-chain KYC(TM) solution which promises to change the way blockchains enable compliance.

With a current 90%+ discount on its services, a fact made possible due to the unique reusable nature of its verification method, and put in place to help as many people as possible access KYC in the current pandemic, there has never been a better time to explore the potential of Blockpass. The Blockpass App is available from the App Store and Google Play.

Proof-of-Stake (POS) has become the topic of the hour since 2020 due the protocol receiving adoption by the biggest blockchain platforms like Ethereum, Cardano, and Polkadot, and has expanded rapidly over the past year. Polkadot, whose MainNet launched in May 2020, currently has $24 billion of its native token DOT staked, which is 64% of the total PoS market supply. Today, it is one of the fastest growing PoS networks and the second most active DeFi ecosystem after Ethereum.

Speakers of this webinar include RockX CEO and Founder, Alex Lam and Shogo Ishida, Senior Advisor of Moonstake. Moonstake and RockX entered a strategic partnership in January 2021 to support the Polkadot ecosystem and DOT staking on Moonstake Wallet.

RockX is a digital assets platform that offers risk-adjusted crypto investment for the masses and allows users to compound their crypto holdings through mining, staking, and other DeFi products. In September, they launched a USD 20 Million five-year investment program to strengthen the Polkadot ecosystem. The funding, capped at a maximum of USD 500,000 worth of DOT tokens per project, will be provided alongside technical support.

This webinar will be useful for those who want to learn more about Polkadot and other tokens from various PoS-based projects. There will be plenty of time for Q&A, so please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

UREEQA Welcomes Dean Drever, a Sculptor Who Has Produced Multi-Million Dollar Works of Art

You may recognize the work of the newest addition to the UREEQA Collection of Pledged Assets if you tuned in to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, or if you’ve ever visited Edmonton’s famed Epcor Tower.

Dean Drever

Dean Drever is an acclaimed Canadian sculptor whose minimalist and abstract work can be enjoyed at famous landmarks throughout the country, including Toronto’s Union Station and the Toronto Sculpture Garden.

Drever is a particularly exciting addition to the UREEQA Collection of Pledged Assets, as he is the first artist working in a physical art medium that we are welcoming to the platform. We are pleased that Drever’s pledged work can help illustrate the versatility of the UREEQA platform to protect artists from a variety of backgrounds and mediums.

As a Creator, Drever’s primary reason for joining the UREEQA platform is to protect his work throughout its many iterations and during the development process. This is one of the many challenges that Creators like Drever face, and a real life example of a problem that UREEQA can solve.

A creation starts as an idea, that idea is yours, and it deserves protection.

This is incredibly important to us and is at the forefront of our minds as we develop, launch and grow the platform. UREEQA will help alleviate the fear of bringing an idea to fruition, just for it to be stolen.

Although Drever’s work often ends up in physical form, it begins as an idea, and that idea can still be protected by the power of the Ethereum blockchain. Whether works are digital or physical, the Creator will be able to utilize the UREEQA platform to validate and protect their work. Though we may be seen as a blockchain company, we are utilizing this technology in a real-world application to empower Creators.

If you visit Drever’s YouTube page, you can see his creations come to life – from ideas to massive realities, and it’s easy to understand why he would want protection. For his Bear with Salmon sculpture at Edmonton’s Epcor Tower, Dean first designed the bear with illustrations – much like an architect would a building. The bear was then cast and assembled in a foundry in New York. Finally, the two-tonne sculpture was driven across the continent to Edmonton, Alberta. One could understand the many points along the creative way at which Drever’s work could be compromised.

Once a piece of creative work is hashed to the Ethereum blockchain through UREEQA, it is timestamped, giving proof of WHEN a Creator’s ownership was claimed. This means that as soon as you have an idea, you can stake your claim to your rights. A package of proof can then be built by our team of Validators through our Validation process.

We want to ensure that no idea goes unseen for fear of it being stolen, before it can even be realized by the original Creator. UREEQA will protect work from the smallest idea to the largest creations, including two-tonne sculptures.

Dean also looks forward to the social aspect of UREEQA. It will allow Creators, like Drever, to confidently share their work with fans and art lovers all over the globe, without the fear of it being stolen and having no recourse.

In this way, the UREEQA platform will be an empowering and inspiring place to share creativity. After all, our love of various forms of creative works is the one thing that binds us together as global citizens.

About Dean Drever
Dean Drever is a Canadian sculptor whose abstract, minimalist work is featured throughout Canada. Dean studied at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Alberta and currently creates art out of his studio in Toronto, Ontario. His most noted work is Pass the Hat (paper), which is a totem pole made up of nothing more than nearly 11,000 sheets of paper.

About UREEQA
The UREEQA platform harnesses the power of blockchain technology and the blockchain community to empower creators to protect, manage, and monetize their work. Established in Canada in 2020, UREEQA will modernize the inefficient and bureaucratic systems currently in place for copyright, patent, industrial design and trademark protection. UREEQA provides value and opportunities for its Creators, Validators and Tokenholders via URQA, the token at the heart of the UREEQA ecosystem.

Bit.com to Launch Industry’s First BCH Options

Bit.com, the secure and high-performance derivatives exchange by Matrixport, will be launching Bitcoin Cash (BCH) perpetual swaps and options. BCH options trading will go live on 01 Feb 2021, following the launch of BCH perpetual swaps on 20 Jan 2021.

Bit.com’s offering of Bitcoin Cash options is the first of its kind in the industry. Bitcoin Cash has been in the limelight as one of the major cryptocurrencies recognized by institutions, and constantly ranks No. 6 or 7 on the Top 10 list. However, there has been no options market for BCH and the liquidity of the perpetual swaps also has room for improvement.

To put things into perspective, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) derivatives market grew tremendously during the past few years, and so did their relative shares of the underlying spot trading volume. Currently, the cryptocurrency perpetual swaps market is dominated by BTC, which accounts for ~53% of the market share, while ETH attributes to 20%. BCH takes only 1% of the crypto perpetual swap market share, which is disproportionate to the relative market share of the underlying asset. Similar for options market, market is hugely dominated by BTC (accounts for ~90%) while ETH takes up the rest, the options market for other major crypto and/or altcoins are close to non-existent. In short, the BCH derivative market is far from maturity compared to its size and underlying price volatility. With Bit.com’s product launch, this gap in the market will soon be filled.

About Bit.com

Bit.com is an institutional-grade derivatives exchange launched by Matrixport, a one-stop financial services company based in Singapore. Since its inception in August 2020, Bit.com has launched BTC and ETH perpetual swap and options, which are greatly welcomed and actively traded by both institutional and individual users. In the first five months of its launch, Bit.com’s total transaction volume exceeded USD 6 billion and is on the way to take a bigger market share. At the moment, the exchange records between USD 100-200 million trading volume on a daily basis.

With industry-leading technology, security and risk management, Bit.com aims to provide users with a superior trading experience and best-in-class liquidity. The platform has strategically positioned itself to serve both institutional and individual users around the world that includes miners/hedgers, prime brokers, proprietary traders and hedge funds. This diverse customer base enables Bit.com to provide more efficient and representative price discovery, which ensures the most competitive spreads. In terms of security, Bit.com’s system is built by a world-class team of risk management and IT experts. Furthermore, funds of the platform are backed by a compliant institutional custodian–Cactus Custody, in pursuit of the highest grade of security.

With its first-in-class product offers and performances, Bit.com has been recognized as one of top cryptocurrency derivative exchanges. According to data from Skew, Bit.com is the second largest cryptocurrency option exchange in the world in terms of the turnover as well as the open interest.

Why did Bit.com decide to enter the BCH derivatives market?

As one of the major cryptocurrencies widely traded by institutions, Bitcoin Cash has good potential and huge market demands. Not only does BCH rank among top 10 cryptos in terms of market cap, the number of active addresses has also been growing overtime. More importantly, Bitcoin Cash is one of the major Proof-Of-Work coins that enjoys vast support from miners. Miners, on the other hand, are a key component of Bit.com’s clientele. The launch of BCH derivatives by Bit.com enables miners to hedge against risks associated with BCH volatility, which helps make their operation more stable and efficient. More specifically, miners can lock in profits in advance while generating additional cash flow by selling covered calls; or can hedge against downward price moves by buying protective puts. Users can make use of comprehensive derivative trading strategies made possible by liquid perpetual swap and options market to construct various payoff profiles to best serve their interests.

Being the first to launch the product will help Bit.com take a vantage point in this blue ocean market. The current cryptocurrency derivatives market is far from saturated and has great potential to grow in following years, we will continue to see the new pairs listing and improved liquidity, which leads to further expansion of the market. While trading platforms are playing catch-up, Bit.com is providing unique value by building an active BCH derivatives marketplaces on top of the current BTC and ETH markets and adding real users to the game.

The start of the new year proves to be auspicious for Blockpass and Matic as the two companies reveal Blockpass’ integration with Matic – the scaling solution for public blockchains. Providing fast, efficient and effective KYC services for Matic is the latest example of Blockpass’ pioneering of on-chain KYC. Signing an MoU before Christmas, the companies are hard at work to provide this new opportunity for the Matic Blockchain as soon as possible.

Matic is a Hybrid Plasma/Proof of Stake side chain which uses an adapted version of the Plasma framework, providing a solution for fast and low-cost transactions. Horizontally scalable, the network currently uses one side chain, with more able to be added when or if they are required. Matic is completely EVM compatible, providing users with the same options they would find or use on the Ethereum Mainnet.

Blockpass is a digital identity verification provider which provides a one-click compliance gateway to financial services and other regulated industries. Through Blockpass, users can create, store, and manage a data-secure digital identity that can be used for an entire ecosystem of services, token purchases and access to regulated industries. For businesses and merchants, Blockpass is a comprehensive KYC & AML SaaS that requires no integration and no setup cost. You can set up a service in minutes, test the service for free and start verifying and on-boarding users.

“Ever since the beginning of blockchain technology, scalability has been an issue on everyone’s radar,” said Adam Vaziri, CEO of Blockpass. “Not only does Matic provide a solution through its Plasma framework-based sidechains, but it also does so with fast, low-cost transactions which make it affordable to anyone. Blockpass is uniquely positioned to provide KYC for the speed and scale of their operations thanks to our reusable-KYC model. We look forward to bringing the benefits of blockchain technology and smart contracts to a huge audience at negligible cost.”

Sandeep Nailwal, Co-founder and COO of Matic Network said of the partnership, “KYC and AML are highly important tools that will bring further legitimacy to the burgeoning crypto industry. The way Blockpass reduces traditional KYC costs is impressive, and their recent on-chain KYC is definitely groundbreaking.”

Blockpass has grown significantly in size and use since its inception, both in the number and range of users and companies it has partnered with, and the scope of its work. Blockpass continues to develop its digital identity protocol with updates and additions to improve the compliance experience. Blockpass has seen rapidly increasing numbers of users in the past year as its identity verification solution is used for ICOs, STOs and IEOs, including supporting a number of successful fundraisers in the past few months. This recent integration with Matic is already leading to conversations with other companies and businesses around the topic of KYC provision. Matic is also a member of the Chainlink ecosystem of blockchains, and Chainlink is supporting Blockpass with the infrastructure on Matic.

With a current 90%+ discount on its services, a fact made possible due to the unique reusable nature of its verification method, and put in place to help as many people as possible access KYC in the current pandemic, there has never been a better time to explore the potential of Blockpass. The Blockpass App is available from the App Store and Google Play.

Moonstake Wallet Officially Commences Staking Support for QURAS

Today, Moonstake announced the support of staking Quras‘s cryptocurrency XQC in Moonstake’s Web and Mobile Wallets. In April of last year, Moonstake announced a strategic partnership with QURAS, and two companies have been working together on the Moonstake’s development of all necessary functions as a node.

QURAS is a next generation blockchain that enables anonymous, privacy-protected transactions. After three years of conception and development, their mainnet was officially launched on 19th December 2020. It features the benefits of blockchain while ensuring a certain level of confidentiality by providing privacy technology.

There are two coins in QURAS: XQC and XQG, a gas token. Users can earn XQG approximately every 18 seconds by holding XQC. XQG is designed to decrease for every 2 million QURAS blockchain blocks generated, and more XQG is allocated to holders who support QURAS through their holding XQC from early phases.

So far, Moonstake has supported Cosmos, IRISnet, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, and Polkadot for staking. All of these coins require staking steps in your wallet, but with XQC, you will be rewarded with XQG if you just hold QURAS in your Moonstake Wallet.

Here’s a simple 3-step process to stake XQC with Moonstake Wallet:
1. Register your mobile Moonstake wallet (https://wallet.moonstake.io) or download Moonstake Mobile Application
2. Add XQC and XQG with “Add New Asset”
3. Transfer XQC to Moonstake wallet

To receive XQG generated by holding XQC, please select XQC in the wallet and select “Claim GAS”. When you have finished receiving your XQG, your balance will be displayed in the XQG in your wallet.

Shigeki Kakutani, CEO & Founder at QURAS says: “We are very honored that QURAS has been selected as one of the coins for staking by Moonstake that only accepts staking of outstanding projects. Since our core philosophy is staking for the “Common Good” rather than purely for profit, we hope to grow with Moonstake and boost the staking industry together while expanding the future of public blockchain.”

Moonstake is looking forward to further cooperation with QURAS to increase its market presence and further enhance the staking of popular cryptocurrency coins to provide users with more choices.
