Something New in the ICO/NFT/Airdrop Aggregator Calendar Field

Nowadays dozens of ICOs take place everyday making it really hard to pick the ones that will give you those precious Xs. Spending loads of time doing research might set you off the track, whereas having too little knowledge will definitely affect your decision effectiveness. It is no surprise, investing in crypto is very risky and people lose money all the time here. That is where aggregator platforms with like minded communities come in handy.

There are multiple ICO/NFT/Airdrop aggregators but they usually focus on one of these three. How that usually works: there is a list of upcoming events, you just scroll and pick the ones that caught your attention with their name or a logo. What if you could get opinions of others on the spot, saving your time and money? Well, I guess there is such a service now – www.hodlers.pro

What would I call Hodlers.pro? A Crypto Investment Social Network. It looks like a modern forum where people discuss different crypto events like ICO/IDO/NFT/Airdrops and more. New projects in amounts of around 3-6 are posted daily. They give you the most important information on a project such as the date of an ICO/mint, price of a token/NFT, exchange, used blockchain type etc. But it isn’t just the admins who can post projects – everyone can apply to be featured on their site, all for free! Of course, there’s moderation and only the best projects are posted. I see people debating in the comment section, giving the projects ranks, as well as giving meaningful info on how to earn more / get a wl etc. You can also follow any of the threads.

What also impressed me is their Discord. Their server seems very lively with people discussing different topics including relevant crypto news, DeFi and GameFi. Users ask questions and do get answers. Everyone is definitely united by one idea – making more money. Their roadmap says that they are going to implement a rank system to Discord, giving you a higher rank for helping others with their questions. I tried asking some questions about an NFT collection in their Discord and got several answers from multiple users in like 30 seconds! This is something that I have never seen before.

There’s also a blog with up-to-date news about cryptocurrencies as well as pretty well thought out analytics. They explain crypto terms in very simple words, so if you are a novice in crypto, getting on the track will certainly become much faster and smoother. As an example, one of their recent blog posts was on the risk to reward ratio. The topic was well explained in very simple language with relevant examples shown. The blog itself deserves a place in your bookmarks, that’s how good it is!

What we understood from their roadmap is that at some point of the project development they will mint their own token $HODL on Fantom blockchain. Users will be rewarded for insightful and valuable comments in $HODL. However, keep in mind that you won’t be able to abuse the system – a moderator will be checking all incoming comments, which is surely a nice feature that will prevent the project from becoming a huge spam pit. A rank system will be added to the site as well. Not sure if the rank on Discord and the site will be connected though I would suppose so. All the information about ranks, experience of community members and the voting algorithm of the website will obviously be stored on the blockchain.

Another great feature that we noticed, while exploring their roadmap is the ad system. A project will be able to run ads on their site, increasing exposure. A feedback widget, a fully customisable launch page and the ability to organize the mint of your own tokens will also be added to the site. Allowing people to make money from the website would make projects invest in the project’s tools, thus creating a perfect money loop, where everyone stays profitable. We have already seen many examples of projects failing just because they lacked that.

Mobile devices weren’t left out either – Hodlers.pro will appear as an application in the Apple Store/Google Play, making the use of all the features, such as communication, voting, investing and receiving urgent notifications even more convenient and therefore significantly increasing the project’s audience!

If anything above got you interested in Hodlers.pro then I would recommend you to keep an eye on their Discord announcements – https://discord.gg/hodlerspro , since their 5,555 NFTs are coming real soon! Each NFT will differ in appearance and rarity. Happy owners (I’m minting) of these NFTs will get free access to the website in the future. Holders were also said to have a privileged role on the site and the Discord server, unlike other roles, whose access will be partially restricted.

The project we have here is something fresh that will benefit creators, investors and project owners big time. Having someone that you can discuss your future investments with is priceless. With the upcoming NFT collection Hodlers.pro is surely a product that if you pay close attention to, could bring you income right from the start.

MRHB: Exclusive Web3 Partner of World Halal Summit, Mints Soulbound NFTs for Attendees

MRHB.Network, the world’s first decentralized finance platform devoted to halal crypto asset solutions, is joining the World Halal Summit as an official Web3 partner and will be providing ‘soulbound tokens’ (SBT) for the thousands of expo attendees.

The World Halal Summit, taking place this year from November 24-27, 2022, is the largest halal conference in the world – the last World Halal Summit attracted over 31 thousand attendees from 96 different nations. The conference is held annually in Istanbul, Turkey, and is focused on contemporary challenges and opportunities in the halal industry. This year’s primary theme is “For a Sustainable Trade: Explore All the Aspects of the Halal Industry”. Topics that will be covered at the summit’s many keynote addresses and panel discussions include current trends in the halal sector and new directions in the halal market.

“We have always been big supporters of halal expos around the world, and are proud to be Official Partner of the World Halal Summit this year,” said MRHB DeFi CEO and founder Naquib Mohammed. “There has been tremendous interest in crypto and digital assets by Muslim communities in recent years. MRHB is the world’s first Web3 platform offering decentralized financial services that are truly halal from the ground up and we are truly grateful for the opportunity to share these solutions with the community of the World Halal Summit.”

Notable speakers at this year’s World Halal Summit include the Head of the Turkish government’s Department of Participation Finance, the Acting Department Head of the Turkish Halal Accreditation Agency, and the Director of the Turkish government’s Department of Participation Finance. Dozens of other speakers from a wide variety of industries and countries will also be present.

Get Soulbound NFT Tickets Minted by MRHB DeFi
As the exclusive Web3 partner of World Halal Summit, MRHB (pronounced ‘Marhaba’) is the sole producer of NFT tickets to the event. The NFT tickets are more than just collectible pictures – they provide real utility as verifiable proof that the conference-goers have purchased tickets to the World Halal Summit.

MRHB is minting NFT tickets which are soulbound tokens – non-transferrable NFTs that cannot be sold or traded with other people. Originally conceived by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, soulbound tokens act as identity and reputation tokens in a decentralized society.

USD10K worth of Gold tokens to be won on TijarX Gold Rush
To celebrate their newly launched commodities exchange TijarX, MRHB DeFi is also awarding a total of US$10 thousand in Gold Standard ($AUS) halal tokenized gold to lucky winners of their ‘Gold Rush’ Campaign. To participate and have a chance to win physical gold-backed tokens (ticker ‘AUS’), users must purchase a minimum of US$100 worth of AUS on TijarX, MRHB DeFi’s decentralized commodities exchange or DEX. The gold tokens are backed by the physical gold bars held in the vaults of MRHB’s regulated (since 1974) bullion partner – Ainslee Bullion.

TijarX can be accessed on Sahal Wallet, a multi-chain, multi-asset self-custodial halal crypto wallet available on iOS and Android. Prizes will be distributed in AUS as follows:

$5K prize to the highest AUS net buyer
$3K prize to the second-highest AUS net buyer
$1K prize to the third-highest AUS net buyer
10 X $100 prizes to 10 lucky draw winners

The MRHB Vision: Empowering, Ethical and Easy
MRHB DeFi’s halal decentralized finance platform empowers the world’s 1.8 billion Muslims and those looking for a more ethical gateway into the opportunities of web3 and digital assets, The Islamic Finance market is US$3 trillion in size and promotes ethical, transparent and fair business practices .

“The cryptocurrency space is a risky place with limited or no halal crypto asset options,” Naquib said. “I founded MRHB DeFi to be a one-stop-solution for users searching for more ethical and non-interest-based approaches to DeFi solutions. I am confident our TijarX Gold Rush campaign will attract summit attendees who are looking for an easy way to invest in physical gold, silver and crypto assets via their phone.”

Sahal Wallet acts as a super App for all of MRHB DeFi’s halal finance services, including the SouqNFT marketplace – where World Halal Summit NFTs are minted and halal compliance NFT certificates are also hosted – as well as the TijarX commodities exchange, home to tokenized precious metals by Gold and Silver Standard. Every token and product on the platform undergoes a strict halal vetting procedure to ensure all assets are Shariah compliant. The world’s first halal crypto income and staking solution will both launch in the next few months, with four more launches scheduled for 2023 including interest-free financing, decentralized philanthropy (DePhi), an entrepreneur launchpad and decentralized autonomous governance.

The company launched their $MRHB token last December in an oversubscribed IDO, raising over US$4.5 million. The majority of their investors came from their enthusiastic community of over 70 thousand ethics-conscious supporters from 106 different countries. The company has since gone on to win the 2022 Global Brand Awards as the “Best New Islamic Crypto Platform”. Nasdaq and InvestorPlace have also featured the MRHB token as a “killer crypto” to invest in.

MRHB DeFi is supported by a number of partners and investors, including Polygon Technology, Sheesha Finance, Australian Gulf Capital, NewTribe Capital, Blockchain Australia, Mozaic, Contango Digital Assets, ZKSync, Acreditus Partners, EMGS Group, Sinofy Group, Sukhavati Protocol and MKD Capital, amongst others.

About MRHB.Network
MRHB means ‘welcome’ and is the world’s first Web3 platform that empowers the community with an ethical and halal approach to decentralized finance. By following values-based financial and business principles, we are creating a trusted ecosystem where both experts and novices can safely and easily access the full power of DeFi.

Go From Crypto Curious to Confident With Just One Book, Say Authors

As cryptocurrencies continue to dominate the news, more and more people are interested in hearing the ‘real deal’ from veteran insiders. However, many don’t know where to start, especially when experts are using unfamiliar terms like “altcoin,” “Web3,” and other jargon.

Experienced investors in the crypto market want to level the playing field and pave the way for new investors. Such is the case for Mike Kimelman and Charlie Shrem, co-authors of the new book Mastering the Basics of Bitcoin and Crypto: Go from Crypto Curious to Crypto Confident With Just One Book.

The book promises to be a revolution in the way the typical reader sees and talks about cryptocurrencies. Both authors are highly respected minds in the crypto field with over a decade of experience.

This is a service that Kimelman and Shrem have been providing for years. Their company Dekryption provides consultations to elite level businesses about how they can implement blockchain technology into their business, and how they can use the crypto market to turn a profit. They’ve helped big names in the business world integrate crypto and other new tech into their business strategies, as well as healthcare companies and not-for-profit organizations.

As Dekryption assures visitors to their website, “With our team of ex-Wall Street and crypto experts, we help firms expertly navigate the Age of Disruption by providing cutting edge strategic advice, capital, marketing and other solutions.” This includes consultations on digital assets like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Now, through their new book, they’re sharing that knowledge with the rest of the world. Kimelman and Shrem want to eliminate the mystery that surrounds the world of crypto for outsiders. Their book is a plain English guide through all the jargon and complex terminology that plagues online conversations, cutting through the tech speak and delivering real results. As one reviewer noted, “This is the quintessential ‘Bitcoin for Boomers’ guide.”

If you’ve ever wanted to take your first steps toward investing in crypto, or if you’re a long-time investor who wants to learn more about the industry and how you can profit from it, Mastering the Basics promises to be an invaluable tool to add to your arsenal.

Moonstake Receives ssv.network Grant to Integrate Decentralized ETH Staking

Today, Moonstake is pleased to announce we have secured a staking pool integration grant from the DAO-governed SSV Network to integrate ETH staking on the Moonstake Wallet. Moonstake will be integrating SSV’s unique architecture to bolster Ethereum decentralization and ensure Moonstake’s validator infrastructure is as robust as possible. This will enable a seamless decentralized ETH staking experience for global users, and Moonstake and SSV will also work together to promote our ecosystems through this collaboration.

The ssv.network Grants Program is a community-led initiative to fund development teams building decentralized staking applications and services with the intent of promoting and accelerating development and innovation by developers building on top of the network. Proposals to the grant are evaluated on the technical design of the project, the overall quality of the team and its community, and more. Moonstake is thrilled to join the SSV Network Grants Program as a verified top 10 staking provider worldwide and soon support ETH staking.

As of 15 September 2022, Ethereum has officially become a Proof of Stake blockchain and the demand for ETH staking is higher than ever. Currently, ETH holders must have 32 ETH and build their own validator infrastructure in order to stake, which requires a high level of technical expertise and maintain a costly infrastructure. Alternatively, non-tech users could stake their ETH by relying on a custodian staking-provider service or centralized exchange. Moonstake and SSV aim to address this issue by providing users with a non-custodial ETH staking solution via Moonstake Wallet using SSV’s innovative technological infrastructure. We are proud to uphold our commitment of providing the best staking experience for users worldwide, as well as to finally take the next big step in our promised support plan for the Ethereum Merge and PoS ETH.

Mitsuru Tezuka, Founder at Moonstake, says: “Moonstake is happy to have received this grant from the SSV Network and partner up for ETH staking integration. The demand for ETH staking is higher than ever, yet users can only rely on custodial solutions at the moment which takes away from the decentralized experience of crypto and could potentially lead to many security risks. As a verified top 10 staking provider worldwide, we hope to be able to bring even more value to crypto users worldwide by providing a seamless ETH staking experience using SSV’s robust technology. We look forward to growing the Moonstake, SSV, and Ethereum staking ecosystems together, as well as promoting the staking industry as a whole through this great partnership.”

Moonstake started the staking business in 2020 with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, we have developed the most user-friendly Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS / Android) with support for over 2000 cryptocurrencies. After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake’s total staking assets have grown rapidly to reach $1 Billion, allowing Moonstake to become one of the top 10 staking providers globally. Currently, Moonstake supports 17 leading PoS assets including Cosmos, IRISnet, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, Polkadot, Quras, Centrality, Orbs (Ethereum and Polygon), IOST, TRON, Shiden, FIO, Everscale, and Oasis. Proof of Stake ETH will be the 18th staking coin supported by Moonstake once technical integration is completed.

SSV is a fully decentralized open Ethereum staking infrastructure. It provides an open architecture for anyone who wants to run an Ethereum validator; from individual users to staking pools and large institutional staking services. The SSV Network aims to address the main concerns faced with Ethereum staking which include: custody and management of private keys, liveliness and redundancy, single point of failure, security and encryption, as well as decentralization and network governance.

About SSV Network
Secret Shared Validators (SSV) is the first secure and robust way to split an Ethereum validator key between non-trusting nodes. The nodes do not need to trust each other to carry out their validator duties, and a certain number can be offline without affecting validator performance. The result is a reliable, decentralized, secure infrastructure for Ethereum staking.

SSV Network is the decentralized staking infrastructure running the SSV protocol that enables the distributed operation of an Ethereum validator. It is also a reusable and scalable ETH staking infrastructure developers can use to build new staking apps and deploy them quickly and easily. https://ssv.network/

Crypto Oasis Joins Algorand’s “Decipher” Conference as Regional Partner

Algorand Foundation, the organization dedicated to helping fulfill the promise of the leading carbon negative Layer-1 blockchain Algorand, has teamed up with the Crypto Oasis, the fastest growing crypto ecosystem in the world. The partnership will kick off with Crypto Oasis representing as the official regional partner for Algorand’s annual flagship Decipher conference, which will take place in Dubai from the 28-30 of November at Madinat Jumeirah, and continue throughout 2023 with the Algorand Foundation as an official Crypto Oasis ecosystem partner.

Moonstake Taps Strategic Partner RockX to Integrate SOL Staking

Moonstake is pleased to announce we are working with long-time strategic partner RockX to integrate SOL staking. Through this collaborative effort, Moonstake is leveraging RockX Solana validator to bring its users access to the Solana staking ecosystem so they can start earning from staking SOL. Together, Moonstake and RockX will accelerate the growth of Solana in the blockchain industry through staking. Since January 2021, Moonstake has also been working with RockX to support the Polkadot staking ecosystem. Today, Moonstake is a recognized top 10 staking providers in the world and a Verified Provider of the VPP family of the leading staking data aggregator, Staking Rewards. RockX is also a top 13 staking provider globally and also a Verified Provider of Staking Reward’s program.

Moonstake started the staking business last year with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, we have developed the most user-friendly Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS / Android) with support for over 2000 cryptocurrencies. After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake’s total staking assets have grown rapidly to reach $1 Billion. After Cosmos, IRISnet, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, Polkadot, Quras, Centrality, Orbs (on Ethereum and Polygon), IOST, TRON, Shiden, FIO, EVER, and ROSE, the highly demanded SOL will become the 18th staking coin available on Moonstake.

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. It is currently a leading node operator for popular blockchains like Polkadot, Solana, and Avalanche. Recently, RockX sponsored the global hackathon Solana Summer Camp through the explorer SolanaFM to enable developers of every level to get a headstart in the Web 3.0 space by developing with one of the world’s biggest blockchain, Solana. This event successfully took place from July to August 2022 and had up to 5 million USD in global prizes and seed funding.

Solana is a layer-1 blockchain that focuses on scalability, speed, cost minimization, and energy-efficiency. It uses a hybrid model of Proof of Stake (PoS) that combines a unique timestamp-based Proof of History (PoH) algorithm with a high-speed synchronization system. This lets Solana provide a high speed and low-cost experience to both users and developers, promising less than 0.01 USD for transaction fee and 0.001 seconds in transaction time. Thanks to these innovations, Solana has become one of the most popular blockchains for DApp developers and staking users. In fact, the SOL coin now sits in the ranking of the top 10 cryptocurrencies in terms of market capitalization.

Mitsuru Tezuka, Founder at Moonstake says: “We are very pleased to once again work together with partner RockX, one of Solana’s world leading node operators. Soon, users of Moonstake can access staking of SOL using RockX’s validator, just like before for DOT staking. By combining the market leading platforms of Moonstake and RockX, we are confident that we can support the ever-growing Solana ecosystem together, just like what we have been doing for the Polkadot ecosystem.”

Zhuling Chen, CEO at RockX says: “We are pleased to be partnering with Moonstake who is a top-10 staking provider and a user-friendly wallet. I am very happy to be extending our partnership from Polkadot to Solana. Moonstake and RockX will continue to push the boundaries together to improve access to blockchain services and focus further on the growth of our Solana ecosystem, just as we did before with Polkadot.”

Prontoblock and EPIC ESG Partner to Launch a DAO and Issue On-Chain Green Bonds to Finance Clean Energy Solutions

The on-chain tokenized green bonds issued by Prontoblock will be one of the first such offerings in the United States. Moody’s forecasts that the issuance of green bonds could total $1 trillion in 2022.

New York, November 8, 2022 — Prontoblock, an innovative blockchain and Web3 company, will partner with EPIC ESG to utilize smart contracts in the form of Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs), and introduce utility tokens to support the structure of on-chain green bonds for large-scale projects. Prontoblock will issue approximately $300 million in notional value in the form of on-chain green bonds to support EPIC ESG’s take out needs for the company’s clean energy projects.

According to a 2022 report by McKinsey, capital spending on physical assets for energy and land-use systems required to decarbonize the global economy and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 are estimated to be $9.2 trillion annually, and $275 trillion in total.

EPIC ESG’s clean energy, carbon sequestration and disruptive agricultural solutions address pressing green energy challenges within the United States. To fund and manage these solutions, Prontoblock will launch a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), an emerging corporate model that democratizes and automates governance utilizing logic embedded within smart contracts, to secure financing, streamline operations and improve reporting.

Powered by Prontoblock’s platform, this partnership will generate highly secure tokenized green bonds to open up market access for a broad spectrum of investors with increased efficiencies, and fractionalized ownership. This will help increase liquidity and decrease the cost of capital for all participants.

By issuing NFTs on a distributed ledger, the ownership rights of these green bonds will be easily traded on multiple centralized and decentralized crypto exchanges globally – delivering new and superior functionality with digital assets over traditional ones.

“We are very excited to be working with Prontoblock, given their capital markets and blockchain expertise, to advance our ESG initiatives,” says Kyle Barnett, CSO of EPIC ESG. “This partnership will democratize retail access to bonds and accelerate the rollout of critically needed clean energy projects.”

“The opportunity for Prontoblock to support worthy projects in the ESG space is a deserving use case for our technology,” says John Murphy, Co-founder and Chairman of Prontoblock. “The DAO and green bonds issued by our platform will significantly increase access to food supply, uninterrupted clean energy and the offsetting of carbon emissions. As the need for capital for climate-related investments in the coming decades will be immense, supporting EPIC ESG’s endeavors is a moral imperative for Prontoblock.”
