What is FIO? Everything You Need to Know about FIO Protocol

Welcome to this edition of 101 article exploring one of the staking coins on Moonstake. This time, we’ll be looking at FIO Protocol and its native coin FIO.

A Brief Introduction to FIO and FIO Protocol

FIO (short for Foundation for Interwallet Operability) was founded in 2020 and aims to enable easier, safer and more joyful crypto transactions on any type of token or coin. The FIO Protocol is designed to ensure the cryptocurrency user experience is uncomplicated and lays the foundation for cryptocurrency mass adoption. Long complex addresses have been replaced with user-customized FIO Crypto Handles such as “user@fio” that enable decentralized sending, receiving and payment requests (invoices, order carts, etc.), as well as, cross-chain end-to-end encrypted metadata (the information for those invoices, order carts, etc.) that can work across all blockchains.

FIO Protocol utilizes Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) to achieve network consensus. Block Producers (BPs) are chosen by users who hold FIO tokens via onchain voting. Anyone can register to become a BP and produce blocks if they receive enough votes.

FIO’s Technical Milestones and Why Moonstake Supports FIO?

– In November 2019, FIO launched their Testnet enabling crypto wallets, exchanges and payment processors the opportunity to fully integrate the FIO Protocol ahead of the Mainnet launch.
– In March 2020, FIO Protocol Mainnet was launched and activated by a community of over 21 block producers.
– In July 2020, FIO launched their online store that serves as a proof-of-concept for their e-commerce tech plugin.
– By January 2021, FIO achieved over 100,000 addresses registered globally.
– In October 2021, FIO launched a $5 million Integrator Grant Program to accelerate FIO Protocol integration across wallets, exchanges, and crypto applications.
– In November 2021, FIO introduced their FIO NFT Signatures via integration with Unique.one’s NFT marketplace to protect NFTs created on any blockchain.
– In January 2022, FIO officially launched the staking functionality of FIO coin while setting the FIO activation date as 22nd February 2022, allowing early adopters to earn at an early access rate.

Based on these significant milestones, we can see that FIO is a highly promising coin and furthermore, the FIO Protocol is an innovative blockchain project with a great community and thriving ecosystem of valuable products. This makes FIO an attractive and strategic addition to the lineup of PoS coins available on Moonstake, and Moonstake has been supporting FIO staking since February 2022 via official partnership.

How does FIO staking and unstaking work?

As with any PoS coin, you can stake your idle FIO assets to earn passive income. Staking with the FIO Protocol is to participate in the network’s operations (validating blocks) by becoming a nominator who chooses the network’s validators.

While your FIO tokens are being staked, they remain in your wallet while you earn staking rewards. The Staking method ensures that stakers of FIO Tokens will always earn a positive return – meaning they receive more FIO Tokens back when they unstake than the number they staked. Meanwhile, if token holders want to send an asset that is currently staked, they will need to unstake it first. Unstaked tokens are locked and are unspendable for a period of 7 days. After that, they can be transferred as normal.

How to get rewards for FIO staking

Rewards are given in FIO tokens and users will have to claim rewards.

How to stake FIO on Moonstake Wallet
Here’s a simple 3-step process to stake FIO with Moonstake Wallet:
– Register your Moonstake Wallet via Web or mobile (iOS / Android)
– Select FIO from the “Wallets” screen and click the “Add Asset” button.
– Access the FIO screen to check your staking information. From the Staking tab, click the “Stake” button, input the amount to stake, and enter your wallet password to complete.

UREEQA Brings Validation-as-a-Service to the NFT Marketplace

  • The VaaS solution will help NFT marketplaces, NFT collection creators, auction houses and other online platforms to crack down finally, on fraud, piracy and theft.

UREEQA, a leading digital validation company helping creators to protect, manage and monetize creative work, has today announced the launch of its new Validation-as-a-Service (VaaS) solution, designed to tackle NFT fraud and protect NFT creators.

Certainly, any solution will involve validating a creator’s identity. However, Ureeqa was conceived of the notion that it was as important to validate the authorship and ownership of every creation as well, a factor lacking in current NFT marketplaces, most of which focus on the ease with which creative pieces can be initialized and sold.

UREEQA’s unique platform fixes this by employing its VaaS solution to generate a Package-of-Proof(TM) and a Responsibly Minted(TM) NFT, which come together to serve as evidence that the creator and the creation have been authenticated and are legitimate.

“The initial exchange models were adopted by NFT marketplaces on the fly, hurried and so demand-focused that it enabled bad actors to take advantage of the situation,” UREEQA CEO Kirk Fergusson said. “Efforts need to be made to curb the abilities to perpetrate fraud as easily in the first place. Then, we have the answer with a patented process and blockchain-based solution that can be integrated into most NFT platforms.”

UREEQA’s revolutionary system — which has been tried and tested by renowned artists on the company’s own marketplace — is a creator-centric hybrid approach to validation and IP protection. The platform’s patented validation process enables verification via a centralized model, while generating a Package-of-Proof on the blockchain for anyone to see in decentralized fashion.

Any ETH-based NFT sales platform can integrate the core components of the UREEQA platform into their marketplace, just like that. And so too can any auction house or creator association.

Participating marketplaces can visibly delineate creations that have gone through this thorough assessment process — highlighting the extra steps that creators have taken to instill confidence amongst prospective purchasers.

“Building scalable world-class NFT marketplaces to address early adopter demand has taken considerable effort over the past year,” Fergusson added. “At UREEQA, we’ve spent the last 18 months building a validation solution designed to support creators first and foremost — and this patented technology is now available to NFT marketplaces to eradicate fraud and instill trust in the creations they’re offering through their platforms. By leveraging our VaaS solution, NFT marketplaces can quickly work to stamp out fraud while preparing their marketplaces for broader mass market adoption.”

About UREEQA
Established in Canada in 2020, UREEQA is modernizing the inefficient and bureaucratic systems currently in place for copyright protection. By building a robust and compelling Package-of-Proof(TM) for source creative work, UREEQA only mints Validated NFTs to represent creative rights. This helps keep buyers safe by giving them confidence that the work they are purchasing was minted by the smart contract approved by the creator of the work and is therefore authentic.

The UREEQA platform strives to protect creators’ work, their rights and their revenue by harnessing the power of blockchain technology. UREEQA provides value and opportunities for its creators, validators and token holders via URQA, the token at the heart of the UREEQA ecosystem.

OKLink Insights: OKLink releases the Global Crypto Market 2022/Q1 Report

  • Monetary policy greatly affecting Cryptocurrency

The OKLink team released the Global Crypto Market 2022/Q1 report on April 10, which contains a thorough review on the market performance of various public blockchain as well as in-depth discussion of popular fields and topics in the first quarter.

OKLink: Preparing for a prosperous multi-chain era as Ethereum 2.0 is drawing near. [OKLink Global Crypto 2002/Q1 Report]

According to OKLink data, MicroStrategy is by far the largest holder of bitcoin amongst overseas listed companies. It has been hoarding bitcoin since August 2020 and held a total of $5.8 billion worth of 129,218 BTC by the end of the first quarter of 2022, an amount even more than the market capitalization of MicroStrategy itself and three times the position that a certain automobile company held.

OKLink: Preparing for a prosperous multi-chain era as Ethereum 2.0 is drawing near

For now, Ethereum ecosystem has the most dynamic and viable players of all public blockchains, yet its high Gas fee and network congestion has always been denounced, which results in its decision on moving to 2.0 stage in order to thoroughly solve the congestion on-chain and improve the scalability of the Ethereum blockchain.

Here the core change is the transformation from PoW algorithm to PoS algorithm. And 2022 is a crucial year for Ethereum’s plan on 2.0 phase, which could set the stage for Ethereum to become a world-class financial settlement layer and DApp infrastructure.

Staking of ETH is a key step in Ethereum’s transition to 2.0. According to OKLink data, more than 10 million ETH have been staked to ETH 2.0 contract. To be more precisely, as of March 31, ETH 2.0 contract has received a total of 10,989,186 ETH, which accounts for 9.3% of total ETH in circulation. This could be a sign that we may soon see an Ethereum that has greatly improved in scalability, security and sustainability.

In addition, several EVM (the core underlying component of Ethereum) based ecology such as Polygon and Fantom rose up to popularity as they promise a lower cost compared to Ethereum

OKLink emphasized in the report that Non-EVM based public blockchains would provide new options for users to move their assets by adding EVM compatibility; besides, this would bring more composability to the global blockchain ecology and accelerate the prosperity of multi-chain era by integrating widely accepted standards.

With the rapid development of global blockchain and crypto market, the processing and analysis of large number of diverse data on blockchains may help in grasping the trend of the crypto market. In this regard, based on self-developed technology platform and rich experience in blockchain data processing and analysis, OKLink has launched a series of data reports reflecting the development of blockchain and crypto industry, and will continue providing support for the development and prosperity of the blockchain industry.

Hatten Land Attracts New Partner for its Crypto Mining Activities With Additional 550 Crypto Mining Rigs that can be Installed and Operated in 2022

Hatten Land Limited (“Hatten Land”, “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) is pleased to announce today that its wholly-owned subsidiary Hatten Edge Pte. Ltd. (“Hatten Edge”) has entered into a Crypto Mining Facility and Support Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with a new business partner (“Partner”), where up to 550 crypto mining rigs can be added to the Group’s crypto mining activites and deployed across its crypto mining facilities in Melaka.

The Partner agrees to deliver 50 sets of S19J Pro as pilot batch machines by end of April 2022 for Crypto Mining operation to location(s) designated by Hatten Edge for the provision of Crypto Mining services. Produced by BITMAIN, the world’s leading manufacturer of digital currency mining servers, S19J Pro is the top-of-the-line model and considered to be one of the most productive and energy-efficient mining rigs in the market. Under the Agreement, the pilot batch of rigs will be delivered and installed by 30 April 2022 with the option of delivering additional 500 in 2022.

Since its strategic pivot towards the digital economy in late 2021, the Group has gained strong momentum in partnering with established crypto mining operators, including the Partner, who are attracted by the Group’s large-scale, high-quality mining facilities and collaborative business model. In addition, as an SGX listed company, there are added assurances on Hatten Land’s compliance and professionalism.

The Partner and its owner have hundreds of crypto mining rigs operating within Southeast Asia currently, including Peninsular Malaysia, East Malaysia and Laos, and endeavours to expand its crypto mining operations with Hatten in Melaka.

Both companies will share the net proceeds of the cryptocurrencies that are mined after deducting the related operational and management expenses. As such, the Agreement is expected to contribute positively to the net assets and financial performance of the Group for the financial year ending 30 June 2022, barring unforeseen circumstances.

The Group’s strategy is to leverage its existing physical assets to provide a secure and stable facility to host crypto mining activities without having to incur substantial capital expenditure or recurring cash outflow. Under this asset-light model, the Group will obtain a share of the net proceeds of digital assets being mined, with the crypto mining activities focused on Bitcoin (“BTC”) at the initial phase.

Since January 2022, the Group’s mining operation is smooth and stable within its converted facilities (reference pictures can be found below within the press release), despite the tightened border controls between Singapore and Malaysia. With a total of three such agreements for crypto mining activities and the reopening of borders between Singapore and Malaysia from 1 April 2022, the Group aims to target new opportunities with new business partners to utilise top-end crypto mining rigs to expand and scale up its crypto mining operations.

Dato’ Colin Tan, Executive Chairman and Managing Director of Hatten Land, said: “Since we started crypto mining operations in January 2022, we are now more well-equipped and better positioned than ever to expand our operations.

Large scale, high-quality, low-cost crypto mining facilities are highly sought-after in Malaysia. With our growing track record, we aim to build on this momentum to secure new partnerships and expand into one of the leading cypto currency mining service providers in Asia.”

Separately, in light of the full resumption of pre-covid land transportation and further easing of other modes of transportion between Singapore and Malaysia, from 1 April 2022, the Group will accept major cryptocurrencies, through a registered licensed partner, for property sale, retail and hospitality transactions under its property portfolio. With key properties primarily in Melaka, one of Asia’s iconic tourist destinations, Hatten Land’s current development portfolio comprises five integrated mixed-use development projects and retail malls that has a combined built-up area of 6 million square feet.

According to a report by World Economic Forum, the advent of cryptocurrencies has led to the creation and operation of new global, decentralized networks that have been used by over 100 million people across the world to transfer trillions of dollars of value.

Dato’ Colin Tan added: “With the popularity of cryptocurrencies, there is a growing trend by consumers to use it as a payment method for a range of products and services, both online and offline.

Together with the rise of digital economy in Asia, there are strong incentives for us to integrate cryptocurrencies in our business activities to access new demographic groups and liquidity pools.”

About Hatten Land Limited

Hatten Land Limited is one of the leading property developers in Malaysia specialising in integrated residential, hotel and commercial developments. Headquartered in Melaka, it is the property development arm of the conglomerate Hatten Group, which is a leading brand in Malaysia with core businesses in property development, property investment, hospitality, retail and education.

To potentially enhance the value of its physical assets as well as create digital assets at the same time, with sustainability efforts in mind, the Group’s new business strategies is to re-purpose the Group’s physical assets, in particular its malls, by identifying new uses, including but not limited to co-sharing office spaces, talent innovation hub, education-related activities, cinema operations, crypto mining and renewable energy activities.

The Group has obtained shareholders’ approval to diversify its business to include renewable energy, physical-digital malls, cryptocurrency mining and the Metaverse via an extraordinary general meeting on 30 December 2021.

With the various digital and renewable initiatives announced by the Group, there are opportunities for the Group to enter into new markets offering new business opportunities which would potentially provide additional and recurrent revenue streams and assist in continual growth of the Group.

Hatten Land Limited began trading on the Catalist board of SGX-ST on 28 February 2017 after the completion of the reverse takeover of VGO Corporation Limited.

Moonstake to Establish Moonstake Gaming Guild (MSGG) to Enter GameFi Business

Moonstake today announces the formation of the Moonstake Gaming Guild (MSGG) as the staking provider makes its full-scale entry into the GameFi market.

GameFi is a term combining the words “Game” and “Finance”, referring to games where you can earn from playing. Specifically, in-game currency, tokens, characters, and items backed by blockchain technology can be bought and sold by players on crypto asset exchanges and marketplaces. GameFi is a market that has been growing rapidly, led by the “Axie Infinity” GameFi project which has been especially popular in Southeast Asia since 2021. The GameFi domain is expected to exceed $68 billion* and is attracting widespread attention even outside of the crypto asset industry.

GameFi is creating new businesses with its innovative model and Moonstake will help create new jobs by establishing and operating gaming guilds. We will provide gaming know-how and lend strong characters and weapons through the global connections promoted by Moonstake. Moonstake hopes to address one of the major goals of the SDGs, “End Poverty,” via the creation of new jobs.

*What is a Gaming Guild?
Gaming Guild is a community for matching investors and practitioners. Investors can purchase NFTs and loan them to practitioners aka game players who use the NFT to play. Investors and practitioners will share the revenue generated by playing. The guild operator matches game players with investors and provides them with the necessary NFT assets, tools, and know-how to share a portion of the revenue earned in the game.

Why are guilds attracting attention?
Token holders, who currently hold crypto assets as investors, provide assets to the guild for players to purchase NFTs for use in their games. The guild then uses those NFTs to allow players to participate in the game. Players, many of whom have never been exposed to crypto assets, are currently generating revenue as the community of GameFi players expands in the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries. In this way, the creation of a new revenue model through GameFi has already been creating numerous new jobs and helping to build players’ economic power.

MSGG is currently recruiting game users through the scholarship program of JobTribes, a Play to Earn game that is being developed by Singapore-based GameFi platform DEA.

Moonstake plans to use JobTribes as a foothold to connect to a variety of GameFi projects and will work to create new employment opportunities primarily in Southeast Asia.

Moonstake launched its staking business in 2020 with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, it has 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 $1.5 Billion, allowing Moonstake to become one of the top 10 staking providers globally. Since last March, Moonstake has also entered DeFi with its newly launched DeFi platform, Muse.Finance, which has released a core DeFi product that will be integrated into Moonstake to offer users worldwide Advanced DeFi connectivity.

Mitsuru Tezuka, Founder of Moonstake, says: “We are very pleased to be able to explore new areas of business for Moonstake via the MoonstakeGamingGuild. With so many people still looking for work around the world, GameFi, a new and exciting industry which creates jobs for many people, has always been one of the things I wanted to challenge myself with. I have been fortunate to have a great opportunity to create and operate guilds at JobTribes, and I hope to use this opportunity to discover the various possibilities of GameFi that can synergize with Moonstake to bring even more value to users worldwide.”

BODASWAP: The First Decentralized Exchange Removing Slippage for Binance Chain Tokens

The Decentralized Finance space has boomed from success stories like DOGECOIN, SAFEMOON, SHIBA INU, BABY DOGE, KISHU INU and more who are bringing users to Decentralized Exchanges like PANCAKSWAP, MDEX, UNISWAP, SPOOKYSWAP, QUICKSWAP, and more, to trade their tokens. In just 24 hours PANCAKESWAP receives an average of $828,389,383 USD in Trading Volume. Followed closely by SPOOKYSWAP receiving an average of $510,961,838 USD in Trading Volume in 24 hours.

While everyone is scrambling to find the next big thing in DeFi, BODA Token has been working hard to build a unique and first-of-its-kind product for the DeFi sector. Boda Token is proud to announce its successful launch of BodaSwap! The First Decentralized Exchange to eliminate Slippage requirements when trading Binance Chain tokens. Unlike other DEX platforms like Pancakeswap, MDEX, UniSwap, SpookySwap, Quickswap, and many more, which require a minimum slippage input to trade tokens, BodaSwap is free from slippage. Slippage is often used to create a buffer when swapping two tokens on a Decentralized Exchange, and while not always charged as a fee, sometimes the slippage can cost the user a small number of tokens in the trade. By eliminating the slippage requirement, tokens traded on the BodaSwap DEX give the user more value for their swap. A DeFi trader who utilized Pancakeswap and BodaSwap, where two identical trades were made, was able to demonstrate that the gas fee on Pancakeswap cost the user $2.28 and the gas fee on BodaSwap only cost $1.69. Saving the user 59 cents in gas fees by using BodaSwap.

BodaSwap is a utility product that will provide added value to the native BODAV2 token, which is part of the Boda Company. Revenue generated from trades on BodaSwap will be utilized for buyback and burns of BODAV2 tokens. This process will help to increase the value of BODAV2 tokens and provide more BUSD Rewards to existing holders of BODAV2 Tokens.

Based on the average daily volume received on Pancakeswap at over $800 Million USD, the 0.2% fee per trade on BodaSwap could potentially generate $1.6 Million USD per day for BODAV2 Tokens. With 6% of that $1.6 Million USD, $96,000 USD, converted to BUSD rewards for token holders.

BODAV2 Token is the highest paying reward token on Binance Smart Chain, automatically rewarding its holders in the form of Binance Pegged BUSD. Since BUSD is a stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar it will never shift in price, making it a great choice for passive income. As a DeFi token that automatically rewards investors with a stable passive income for holding, BODAV2 helps to reduce the risks involved with cryptocurrency market volatility. Holders can keep earning during a crypto bear market as token price does not affect the BUSD rewards. Over time, holders can earn enough BUSD rewards to cover their initial investment, turning their investment into a cost-free asset.

No other smart contract is like BODAV2 as it has been built from scratch. An anti-whale and anti-dumping mechanism help to protect investors from heavy losses. BODAV2 has been audited by Certik, the leading Smart Contract Auditing Company in the world, which provides much greater security and peace of mind for BODAV2 holders.

BodaSwap is a real contender in the Decentralized Exchange sector as the first DEX to facilitate trades without slippage and with lower gas fees. Many users will find themselves turning to BodaSwap over other DEXs like Pancakeswap with the ease of trading tokens and paying less in fees.

In addition, BodaSwap is providing a Fiat On-ramp for customers to purchase cryptocurrency with Visa or Mastercard. This Fiat-to-Crypto feature is ideal for customers in locations such as America where purchasing crypto tokens such as BNB can be difficult.

With companies like Binance pushing crypto further into the mainstream audience, people finally realize the true potential of Crypto Currencies. It is this sentiment that will continue to bring BodaSwap & BODAV2 and its community to new and even greater heights.
