DIBA’s mainnet launch includes a Bitcoin-only tokens wallet using apocalypse-resistant storage technology via its partnership with the largest bitcoin mining company in North America
DIBA, the first Bitcoin NFT marketplace leveraging RGB smart contracts, launches on mainnet. The launch includes BitMask, a one-of-a-kind, Bitcoin-only wallet that can hold music and art unique digital assets (UDAs), and Carbonado, hosted on high availability storage and cloud services provided by Hut 8, one of North America’s largest innovation-focused digital asset miners and high performance computing provider.
Backed by notable bitcoin investors Tim Draper of Draper Associates, Bill Tai of ACTAI Unicorn Fund, Yasmeen Drummond of NIMA Capital, and Erez Kalir of Martial Eagle Fund, DIBA aims to bring Bitcoin utility to the masses through enabling the exchange of UDAs on the most decentralized, censorship-resistant network.
Gideon Nweze, Founder & CEO of DIBA, said, “It’s our view that Bitcoin is the only network that is positioned to become the foundation for the next world economy given its decentralized, censorship-resistant, Proof-of-Work design. Bitcoin is designed to be built in layers and this one reason is why we’re very excited to announce the launch of DIBA, which enables the exchange of Unique Digital Assets for the first time on Bitcoin. This marks a major milestone in the transition of the internet onto Bitcoin.”
Tim Draper, American Venture Capital & Bitcoin Investor, said, “The bull case for Bitcoin assets is in the ballpark of $10bn market cap over the next couple of years. What Gideon and the team at DIBA have built is a testament to the potential NFTs on Bitcoin hold in capturing the creative and sovereign spirit of this next generation. I am excited about DIBA’s launch and look forward to their future growth.”
Josh Rayner, VP of High Performance Computing at Hut 8, shared, “We are bullish on Bitcoin and the potential of Layer 1 and 2 protocols, and are proud to support DIBA’s Bitcoin NFT platform with high availability storage and cloud services on our HPC infrastructure, as part of that evolution.”
The DIBA marketplace uses RGB, a Smart Contract Protocol on Bitcoin that enables encrypted transactions, and the Lightning Network to offer free NFT mints, sovereign and private assets, as well as deterministic unhackable smart contracts.

GroundUp Studios, a forward-thinking, web3-focused music label today announced its Creative Council of professional veterans in the music industry, to accelerate the pace of web3 music and art creation among its community members. As part of the announcement, Derrick Sepnio, Fergus Chow and Jae Chong will become GroundUp Studios’ first wave of award-winning producers to support the label’s community of songwriters and musicians in their career development.
GroundUp Studios’ vision is to shine a light on the impressive pool of musical and artistic talent in the region. It plans to build a comprehensive web3 ecosystem using NFTs as an access pass, to attract NFT art investors; technology enthusiasts; music and art lovers; songwriters; producers; and artists of all disciplines. As members socialize and connect, GroundUp believes that this would inspire new artistic ideas, allowing them to re-imagine the music and art they are capable of creating.
Fast-tracking Web3 Music and Art With The Creative Council
The Creative Council is GroundUp’s longer term plan to bridge undiscovered and independent artists with top-tier industry professionals in music and art. The main responsibilities of Council producers are to connect and socialize with the label’s community members; pass on valuable knowledge about music creation and production; and generally broaden their artistic horizons by sharing great music within the community. As working professionals, the producers will also keep a close eye on emerging talent within the GroundUp community, and eventually find ways to collaborate directly with them.
GroundUp’s trio of producers represent some of the most seasoned and in-demand veterans working currently in Asia. Working closely with GroundUp, the producers will evaluate opportunity gaps in the traditional music industry and develop trailblazing initiatives and projects that will shape the future of digital art and music.
“GroundUp Studios is honored to work with Derrick, Fergus and Jae – arguably three of the best producers in Asia – to re-imagine music and art using web3 technology,” said Adrian Fu, co-founder and Creative Director. “In our view, web3 is not purely about technology; rather, we see it as a new way and attitude towards the creation and monetization of music and art. I look forward to working closely with the producers to evolve music from an artistic, commercial and technological standpoint. This will ultimately deliver unique experiences for lovers of new music and art.”

NEW YORK/PARIS/TOKYO, May 11, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The future of travel is here. After months of anticipation, Travelzoo META, a members-only service offering groundbreaking Metaverse travel experiences, is now accepting its first one million Founding Members. Launched by Travelzoo® (NASDAQ: TZOO), a global Internet media company, Travelzoo META will give Founding Members the opportunity to be the first to experience travel in the Metaverse.
Travelzoo META’s experiences are intended to allow its members to explore hard-to-reach corners of the world, like summiting Mount Everest, or travel back in time—to Ancient Rome, perhaps. They can also discover new spaces beyond imagination. All this is possible using a mobile or desktop device and a simple browser. Travelzoo META members can use their existing device as a portal to a whole new dimension.
With sign-ups now open, Travelzoo META invites those who share a vision of a world that ebbs and flows as far as the mind wanders to become Founding Members. Each Founding Member will be entitled to one of the world’s first personality-based, emotionally-driven Travel Companions (NFTs). To match their personal Metaverse travel style, Founding Members will be invited to pick their one-of-a-kind Travel Companion from an interactive gallery of one million unique NFTs. No two Travel Companions are the same. Once a Founding Member claims their special Travel Companion, no one else can travel with it in the Metaverse.
Represented as fantastical animals, the Travel Companions signify a world with no limitations, cages, bars, or borders. They encourage a freedom to enjoy a life of adventure brimming with extraordinary experiences.
“Travelzoo META is the future of travel,” said Arveena Ahluwalia, General Manager of Travelzoo META. “Not only does it remove limitations of physical ability and imagination, but it also allows us to bring people closer together through shared experiences.”
Social connection is one of the largest drivers of interest in the Metaverse, according to a study by global consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Travelzoo META members will be able to share experiences alongside their loved ones—no matter where in the world they are—or make new connections with likeminded travelers.
Travelzoo META Founding Members will not just be the first to experience the future of travel in the Metaverse; they also get to shape it. Founding Members can test beta experiences and share their feedback, contributing to how future Metaverse travel experiences are imagined.

“t quickly became apparent that BREATHE! was a bigger endeavor than any of us could possibly imagine,” said Vincent, Founder of Digital Nativ. “With the increasing demand of educators and networking opportunities, it was obvious BREATHE! needed to move venues to fully form its vision into reality. So many Web3 and Blockchain players like HIVE, NFT-TiX, and MetaKeep have already begun collaborating with one another around the globe thanks to BREATHE!”
Unique experiences are set to fully develop with BREATHE!, including the expansive launch of the BREATHE! App, allowing followers of the event to participate in activities and community-driven efforts for exclusive rewards, and the building of live metaverse integration with BREATHE! for the full effects of virtual reality and augmented reality in the BREATHE! experience.

Raffles will support its students and graduates through the partnership by facilitating access to the 1FAME ‘FAshion MEtaverse’, where participants can buy, sell, trade and play with diverse digital fashion NFTs. 1FAME will equip Raffles Designers with integrated tools, solutions, knowledge and expertise to support the development of a sustainable metaverse fashion ecosystem.
Access to the 1FAME ecosystem includes FAME Meta Studio & Lab, a platform for designers to transform their traditional designs into digital fashion garments. This is further integrated with FAME Fashion Launchpad, a platform to mint NFTs for digital garments which enables NFT-based IP portfolio development and value creation. These platforms reduce the barriers to launch new designs while providing Web3 solutions for monetisation.
Mr James Hong, 1FAME Chief Executive Officer, said, “As leading fashion brands were among the first to explore NFTs and other Web3 opportunities in the fashion metaverse, it is essential for today’s young designers to familiarise themselves with the latest technology platforms that can elevate their work beyond traditional boundaries to phygital worlds.”
Having successfully collaborated with South Korean designer brands famous for their collaborations with renowned K-Pop stars and celebrities, FAME ‘FA-shion MEtaverse’ is turning its attention to up- and-coming designers in Southeast Asia.
Mr Giuseppe (Joe) SPINELLI, Principal at Raffles, said, “Our partnership with 1FAME reflects our commitment to providing opportunities for Raffles Designers while future-proofing our academic courses to stay ahead of the latest industry innovations in Web3.”
Following the signing ceremony between Raffles and 1FAME held at Raffles Education’s campus, six Raffles Designers entered into a commercial agreement with 1FAME to produce their own digital fashion NFTs in connection with physical garments and real-world experiences.

The creators of a brand new cross-chain decentralized borrowing and lending protocol announce the release of their Mainnet v1. The launch marks the first step in their journey to be the go-to borrowing and lending platform for NFTs. Initially, the protocol will offer wBTC, ETH, and USDT, however, engineers are currently working on integrating NFTs into the next iteration of the protocol.
The unique approach Paribus takes toward these more exotic assets is to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) systems to assess an accurate value for every supported NFT collection.
Paribus key facts: – Initially launching on Arbitrum and building for Cardano. – The Paribus token (PBX) has now become a Cardano Native Token trading on WingRiders. – Supported by Charles Hoskinson’s cFund. – Focused on developing a method to use exotic assets as collateral (NFTs, LPs, Synthetics, etc). – AI/ML pricing model will allow instant loans rather than old-fashioned P2P models – User funds are always user-controlled, locked in smart contracts, and never held by the protocol. – Mainnet has passed two separate Hacken security audits pre-launch – The most recent audit was completed on March 16th. – Bug bounty program through Immunefi to ensure ongoing security updates
Paribus CEO Deniz Dalkilic said, “Liquidity is the “straw in the camel’s back” for NFTs. It is a point of pain and also a gap in the market. We believe liquidity with time, and with more use cases for NFTs, will drastically improve. 2023 seems like it will be a good year for NFTs and tokenized assets, i.e. physical goods/assets as NFTs. With such a growth in adoption, I believe systems like Paribus will become much more fluid and collateral friendly.”
Paribus COO Wilson Davis said, “Being a cross-chain borrowing and lending protocol, our goal with Paribus is to help bring liquidity and TVL from other ecosystems into the Cardano network. As soon as we have the functionality to integrate with Milkomeda we’ll be able to start bringing some of that liquidity across.”
