Seedify Taps Blockpass for KYC Provision in Blockchain Gaming & NFTs

Blockpass, the pioneer of On-chain KYC(TM), is excited to announce its growing partnership with Seedify, the gateway to blockchain gaming. Seedify will be using Blockpass’ proprietary KYC solutions to provide a safe, secure and compliant ecosystem where gamers and gaming enthusiasts can enjoy the benefits of blockchain and cryptocurrency.

Seedify is a blockchain gaming-focused incubator and launchpad ecosystem which provides support and opportunities for innovators and project developers through access to funding, community and partnership building, and a complete support system to help drive the future of gaming and blockchain. The project is assisting gamers as they begin to explore new avenues, spending time on games and taking advantage of opportunities to earn in-game item NFTs and tokens. Through holding $SFUND, users are able to buy game tokens before they’re listed on the market, by participating in IGOs (initial game offerings) on the Seedify Launchpad.

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. Currently with more than 160,000 verified user identity profiles, Blockpass facilitates instant onboarding, and to date almost 5000 services have taken advantage of this opportunity to get access to users with reusable digital identity profiles.

“Seedify is a leader in the blockchain gaming industry and we were delighted to work with them to bring our compliance technology to that space,” said Adam Vaziri, Blockpass CEO. “By bringing seamless and efficient identity verification to gamers we hope to facilitate a safe and secure ecosystem where they can play and earn.”

“Blockpass’ compliance software provides a vital solution, ensuring ease of use, along with a safe and secure KYC process,” noted Levent Cem Aydan, Founder and CEO – Seedify. “This gives us the ability to seamlessly and efficiently onboard new users, maintaining the integrity of our platform and giving our community confidence that their private data is protected.”

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. Through its recent work with Animoca Brands, Blockpass is developing the ability to provide KYC where the delivery of the verification result is provably sent and shown on a blockchain without sharing the underlying data. This represents a significant step towards the future Blockpass hopes to bring about where identity verification can be proved without revealing any personal information at all.

About Blockpass
Blockpass, the pioneer of On-chain KYC(TM), is a fast, fully comprehensive KYC & AML screening software-as-a-service for blockchains, Crypto, Defi and other regulated industries. With Blockpass, you get an unmatched set of benefits for any compliance service that includes pay-as-you-go, no setup cost, no integration necessary, free testing, immediate launch and at the lowest cost. Blockpass’ KYC Connect(TM) platform enables businesses to select requirements for customer onboarding that can include ID authentication, face-matching, address checking, AML ongoing monitoring and/or screening of sanctions lists, politically exposed persons (PEP), and adverse media. Through Blockpass, end-users easily create a verified portable identity that they can control and re-use to onboard with any service instantly. By integrating with Chainlink Network – a decentralized oracle solution – in early January, Blockpass introduced the first On-chain KYC(TM) solution that will service many blockchains in the years to come.

Hatten Land Signs Exclusive Agreement with EnjinStarter to Digitise Group Assets and Create New Digital Assets, including NFTs and Tokens Exchangeable with Current Loyalty Points Linked to its Malls and Hotels

Hatten Land Limited (Hatten Land) said today that its subsidiary Hatten Technology (S) Pte. Ltd. (Hatten Technology) has signed an agreement with Prakal Pte. Ltd. (known as EnjinStarter) to develop a dedicated token system and create digital assets, including non-fungible tokens (NFTs), to promote the development of a digital economy in Melaka where it has substantial hospitality and retail assets.

The Exclusive Framework Agreement is part of a strategic shift by SGX Catalist-listed Hatten Land. Hatten Land is re-purposing its extensive mall footprint in Melaka and pivoting towards digital and blockchain activities as the pace of digitalisation in the world accelerates.

EnjinStarter will develop a token strategy (“tokenomics”) that will allow tokens and NFTs to be exchanged or connected with the current loyalty point system of the Hatten Group as well as other participating hotels, attractions, malls and shops, starting with Melaka. EnjinStarter will also provide maintenance and support services for the Token System and Metaverse to be developed.

This project with EnjinStarter will start mid-October 2021 with delivery of the Token System and the crypto-related elements and/or components connected to the Token System and Metaverse due by end- March 2022. The initial term of the Exclusive Framework Agreement is two years and can be automatically renewed every two years unless the Agreement is terminated.

EnjinStarter has entered into an agreement with Enjin Pte. Ltd. (“Enjin”), that EnjinStarter is a Special Purposes Vehicle (“SPV”) set up to serve as a launchpad for the ecosystem development within the Enjin platform which powers many pioneering blockchain games, applications, and projects.

Also a marketplace for NFTs, Enjin has over 20 million users spanning more than 250,000 gaming communities. Enjin has backed over US$1.14 billion blockchain assets, which collectively contain 12.5 million worth of ENJ coins.

With substantial hospitality and tourism footprint in Melaka, Hatten Land and its parent company, the Hatten Group conglomerate, are the leading developers in this strategic historical city located along the Straits of Melaka that dates to the 15th century. The Group owns and operates retail malls with a combined built-up area of over six million square feet within Melaka, where it also owns or operates four hotels.

Under the Agreement, both Hatten Technology and EnjinStarter will collaborate to develop a Metaverse, starting with a digital ‘twin city’ for Melaka (“Digital Melaka”) that aims to promote physical and digital tourism in Melaka and accelerate the growth of the city’s digital economy.

Mirroring the physical world, Digital Melaka will feature the rich heritage, activities and key attractions in Melaka as well as Hatten Group properties in digital format. This will allow digital assets, including tokens and NFTs, to be created and monetised.

In addition, EnjinStarter will establish its regional headquarters in Melaka, both physically and digitally, to jointly operate a virtual game development incubator, a blockchain gaming showcase and arcade. EnjinStarter will also cultivate and promote Melaka artistic activities such as partnering with local artists for NFT creations, marketing and sales within Digital Melaka.

The EnjinStarter collaboration follows recent agreements signed by Hatten Land under which at least two parties will install and operate up to 3,000 cryptocurrency mining (“cryptomining”) rigs within its properties in Melaka. Hatten Land will leverage its existing infrastructure and lower energy costs in Malaysia. Such costs may be lowered further as Hatten Land installs solar panels on the rooftops of the malls to enable energy-efficient or ‘green’ cryptomining, accelerating its initiatives to create sustainable digital assets.

Hatten Land’s digital strategies include enabling tokens and NFTs as well as online-to-offline (“phygital”) commerce and gaming. Digital assets that emerge from these initiatives can achieve tangible and tradable value over time as creative activities are enhanced and built around a dedicated blockchain platform.

Dato’ Colin Tan, Executive Chairman and Managing Director of Hatten Land, said: “The Digital Melaka project is intended to be a major catalyst for our strategic shift to become a hub for blockchain and digital initiatives as we re-purpose our existing mall footprint in Melaka.

“We are partnering with EnjinStarter, which has a proven track record including a recent successful token listing. Together, we will build a dedicated Metaverse which will usher in a new era of blockchain, e-commerce and creative activities and where everyone can trade and live in.”

Mr. Prakash Somosundram, CEO and Co-founder of EnjinStarter, said: “We are really excited to partner Hatten Land. The Metaverse project brings a new dimension which allows us truly to explore ‘phygital’ opportunities. Hatten Land is a forward-looking partner that is also committed to assemble key stakeholders to work together and deliver this ground-breaking project. Beyond the sky’s limits. Together we are bringing Digital Melaka to the Metaverse and seeking to change the way people create, live, work and play.”

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.

Bounty Sports Enter into Agreement with SCCG

Bounty Sports, the first North American provider of paid fantasy pick’em, has entered into a partnership with SCCG Management to bring their platform, previously only available to Canadians, into the United States. Bounty has committed significant investment to expanding their peer-to-peer platform as a fan engagement tool to average sports fans, supported by SCCG Management and its network of key partnerships.

Bounty Sports hosts contests where fans compete against other fans in daily contests with the goal of picking winning teams. Users earn points for correct selections, where top ranking individuals win cash prizes. This user-friendly platform engages average fans who have grown tired of the costly and time-consuming traditional fantasy sports models. Bounty Sports provides a fun online community for users to connect with other sports fans, without significant cost and time commitments.

Jess Hodgson, CEO of Bounty Sports said, “Whether it’s online or at the office, you see the same few people winning traditional fantasy sports pools. Pros are making a lot of money off average fans, who spend countless hours building rosters only to lose interest. We knew that there was still a desire in the market for fans to engage with each other but had to build a tool to keep the stakes low and the fun high. Bounty has done exactly that. The results and feedback we’ve received so far has been incredible.”

The Bounty Sports team believes traditional fantasy sports models are geared towards experts and pros who dedicate a significant amount of time to learning the complex scoring systems and staying updated on regular roster changes across leagues in which they play. Bounty endeavors to create an entirely new way for fans to interact with and participate in fantasy sports, dubbed “Fantasy Pick’Em”. This brings together traditional pick’em style pools with the social element of fantasy.

Mark Broxterman, Cofounder at Bounty Sports, said, “Most fans have come to accept that playing fantasy sports is a negative sum game. Most online platforms are dominated by a very small minority of players who use complex models and algorithms. It’s no longer a fun game, it’s a business for experts and pros.”

Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management, said, “In order to support the largest number of fans participation in US sports, we need to be able to reach out to whenever and however they are ready to engage. Fantasy sports is a huge piece of the sports fan market, and just as traditional fantasy sports bridges and supports the traditional sports betting industry, the Bounty Sports DFS platform bridges and supports the casual sports fans. We are committed to growing the size of the tent for the U.S. sports fan.”

About Bounty Sports

Bounty Sports is a Daily Fantasy Sports company designed to level the playing field for casual sports fans by offering simple and user-friendly peer to peer sports entertainment contests. Headquartered in London, Ontario, and launched in 2020 by Jess Hodgson and Mark Broxterman, Bounty Sports is currently operational in two countries (Canada and USA), available in the following States, Provinces, and Territories: California, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Georgia, North Carolina, Massachusetts, Maryland, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Carolina, Kentucky.
