London, United Kingdom, May 6th, 2024, Chainwire

GBM Auction (https://gbm.auction), the Bid-to-Earn Auction company, is thrilled to announce a historic collaboration event with Dr. Gavin Wood, co-founder of Ethereum and the founder of Polkadot and Kusama, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the publication of the Ethereum yellow paper and the recent release of the JAM grey paper. 

This event will feature three auctions for iconic pieces of blockchain memorabilia, representing pivotal moments in the world of blockchain technology. The online auctions, hosted at https://gavinwood.gbm.auction are slated to commence on May 16th, 2024, during the ‘Decentralized Lugano’ conference in Switzerland and will run for seven days with the proceeds from these auctions supporting the DEC’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal: (https://www.dec.org.uk/appeal/ukraine-humanitarian-appeal).

This groundbreaking set of auctions will be hosted on the Moonbeam blockchain, a parachain on Polkadot, utilising Glimmer (GLMR), the native currency of the Moonbeam chain, for bidding.

The remarkable items to be auctioned are:

• An Ethereum yellow paper annotated and signed by Dr. Gavin Wood, featuring the EIP-150 revision version crucially addressing the aftermath of the infamous 2016 DAO hack attack.
• An original “Draft 1” version of the Polkadot white paper annotated and signed by Dr. Gavin Wood, presenting the vision for the Polkadot network protocol.
• A “Draft 0.1.0 Dubai” unreleased version of the JAM Grey Paper annotated and signed by Dr. Gavin Wood, of which only 200 copies were ever made and gifted to his inner circle by Dr. Wood himself. This Grey Paper introduces a visionary step towards a more scalable, efficient, and dynamic blockchain network.

Each item represents a unique piece of blockchain history, personally annotated and signed by the author and luminary who coined the universally recognised term “Web 3.0”. The auctions will be run by GBM Auction, known for its innovative Bid-to-Earn system, which has revolutionised the auction experience for the blockchain space and seen over 70,000 auctions ho​​sted and $6M earned by bidders to date. GBM Auction’s Bid-to-Earn system incentivises participation by rewarding bidders when they are outbid. This unique approach ensures an engaging and popular auction experience, benefiting both sellers and bidders alike. 

Hugo McDonaugh, co-founder of GBM Auction, expressed his enthusiasm for this unique opportunity to celebrate these three foundational steps in the journey of Ethereum, Polkadot and blockchain technology with this historic auction. “The Ethereum yellow paper laid the groundwork for a decentralised revolution that has reshaped industries and empowered millions worldwide. The Polkadot white paper introduced a vision for a scalable, interoperable multi-blockchain network, and the JAM grey paper addresses critical issues that have challenged previous decentralised systems with a new protocol facilitating a more connected and coordinated ecosystem”, said McDonaugh. “This auction is a tribute to the pioneers who contributed to Ethereum’s journey and a celebration of its enduring legacy ten years on”.

As a gesture of solidarity and support for those in need, Dr. Gavin Wood is donating the proceeds of the auction to the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC). The DEC provides essential assistance such as food, water, shelter, and healthcare to families in Ukraine and refugees in neighbouring countries. Known for its transparency, the DEC ensures that funds are utilised effectively to address the urgent needs of those affected by crises. GBM Auction invites esteemed technology and blockchain collectors to participate in this historic event while making a meaningful contribution to humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.

Protocol launches, growth trajectory, and industry-leading technology point toward more success to come

On the first anniversary of Sui’s Mainnet launch, the Sui community is celebrating a landmark year that saw it rise from a nascent ecosystem to the top tier of Layer 1 blockchains, amassing household name partners and shipping multiple technology breakthroughs in the process. In the build-up to its launch in 2023, the chatter around Sui reached a level of excitement that has not been matched by any chain that has launched since. The first anniversary of Sui represents a culmination of the remarkable milestones achieved by the network in its first year.

While centralized institutions face growing public distrust due to decades of anti-competitive and anti-consumer behavior and legacy blockchains lack the speed and technology to solve the problem, in a single year, Sui has emerged as the decentralized solution most capable of disrupting the status quo at scale. The innovations of Sui begin with Sui’s novel programming language, Move, which was created by Mysten Labs Co-founder and CTO Sam Blackshear. Move introduced a new architecture centered around objects, enabling performance and functionality that was simply not available on existing blockchains. The result is a blockchain that is singular in the industry — the universal coordination layer for intelligent assets.

“Like many transformative innovations before us, we knew the problem we had to solve and built the technology to solve it without applying labels, but a year after launch, it is clear that Sui is a vibrant developer ecosystem,” said Evan Cheng, Co-founder and CEO of Mysten Labs. “Developers are taking advantage of Sui’s performance, and its scalable, composable, on-chain storage, and native accessibility features to build sustainable business models with a consumer ownership-first approach. While the Network’s achievements to date are remarkable, the road to onboarding the next billion users to web3 has just started.”

Technology Innovations

The results Sui has achieved have validated the team’s approach. In addition to not experiencing a single minute of downtime or instance of degraded performance since Mainnet launch, in the last 12 months, Sui has achieved:

• Lightning-fast transaction speeds — time to finality clocked at just 400 milliseconds
• Massive scale — 297,000 peak TPS in a controlled environment
• Record-setting Mainnet performance — 65.8M transactions executed in a single day, the most of any blockchain ever
• Extremely low fees — predictable, stable transaction fees even during high usage

Yet technology improvements are a constant at Sui. In recent weeks, including at its first global in-person conference, Sui Basecamp, Sui unveiled Mysticeti, which significantly shortens Sui’s end-to-end time to finality, and Pilotfish, which enables nearly unlimited horizontal scaling by enabling individual validators to use multiple machines to extend their capacity.

Sui has also introduced unique implementations of technologies that make adoption easier and make the blockchain accessible to mainstream users, both at the enterprise and retail levels. zkLogin is on-chain authorization with traditional OAuth providers like Google and Twitter, allowing all users to directly operate on-chain with the single sign-on process they have become accustomed to, removing the hurdle of managing wallet addresses and seed phrases. zkSend is an application exclusive to Sui that utilizes zkLogin to enable users to send and claim tokens simply by sharing or clicking a link. Sponsored transactions, enabled by Sui’s extremely low fees, empower builders to remove a final hurdle for engagement. Finally, Enoki, which was announced at Sui Basecamp, removes requirements for enterprises looking to incorporate blockchain technology with a turnkey solution that gives them access to build seamlessly on Sui.

“The rate at which the ecosystem’s deep and talented developer community has shipped powerful protocols and industry-first technology breakthroughs has been breathtaking, and it’s only a year in,” said Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-founder and CPO at Mysten Labs. “Sui’s purpose is to redefine how individuals and businesses collaborate to create, grow, and share value in a digital-first economy and since its mainnet launch, Sui has demonstrated important and unique capabilities in that regard.”  

Network Momentum – Sui is a destination for DeFi, Gaming and Commerce

Also owing to the strength of the network and especially notable for an ecosystem so early in its development, Sui has quickly become one of the preeminent destinations for DeFi activity. Within 9 months of its Mainnet launch, Sui ranked in the Top 10 of all blockchains in TVL. A month later, Sui’s DEX volume also achieved top 10 status. Throughout, Wormhole stats show Sui as a top destination for bridging from Ethereum, including over a 30-day period where Sui saw more inflows than all other blockchains combined, and more than twice as much as the next closest blockchain. In each of these cases, Sui eclipsed numerous well-known networks that have existed for far longer.

Builders and enterprises integrating with Sui are also adding to the growing momentum. Bluefin, a derivatives exchange that had already executed billions in transaction volume in its first iteration on another chain, shut that integration down to build on Sui. Solend, a leading lending protocol on Solana, chose Sui for its first integration beyond its initial network, launching the Suilend protocol which has already amassed over $30M TVL. Additionally, First Digital Labs, creator of FDUSD, the fastest-growing stablecoin in crypto with over $4B in market cap, chose Sui for its first expansion since its launch on Ethereum and BNB.

“As we mark the first anniversary of Sui’s launch, the growth and innovation within the Sui ecosystem have been sensational and Sui has quickly ascended to the forefront of Layer 1 blockchains,” said Greg Siourounis, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation. “Sui’s global footprint has continued to expand at a remarkable rate as more and more builders see Sui as the best platform for enabling real world solutions aimed at addressing the world’s most pressing challenges.”

Gaming is another focus for Sui that will continue in the coming months and years. With low, predictable fees that allow game developers to build with confidence and dynamic objects that make games built on Sui more expressive, Sui is the optimal blockchain for gaming studios. Dozens of development teams are currently building games on Sui, including established studios such as NHN (Pebble City), ONBUFF x SNK (Samurai Shodown), NDUS Interactive (Xociety), Orange Comet (The Walking Dead: Lands), and Ambrus Studio (E4C: Final Salvation). Leading professional esports team, Team Liquid, will leverage Sui for the relaunch of its fan loyalty program, and at Sui Basecamp in April, Sui joined gaming infrastructure developer Playtron in announcing SuiPlay0X1, the first handheld gaming device with native blockchain capabilities to wide acclaim.

Other notable ecosystem partnerships achieved in Sui’s first year include those with Alibaba Cloud and Google Cloud, which focused on enhancing security, scalability, developer tools and user experiences across a range of Web 3.0 and AI-powered applications. BytePlus, the web3 arm of ByteDance, partnered with Sui ecosystem partner Mysten Labs to explore collaboration on data warehousing, AI recommendation algorithms, and AI visual algorithms in web3 game platforms and socialFi projects on Sui. 

The crowds that gathered for Sui Basecamp 2024 represented the culmination of Sui’s arrival, as over 1,000 projects, partners, investors and enthusiasts from 65 countries around the world came to Paris in April to celebrate Sui at the vaunted Layer 1’s inaugural global conference.

Humanode, a Layer-1 blockchain built with Polkadot SDK, has become the most decentralized blockchain network to date based on the Nakamoto Coefficient. With 706 active validator nodes, the Nakamoto Coefficient for the Humanode is 236, shooting past the prior number one, Mina, which has a Nakamoto Coefficient of 155. Polkadot now holds the 3rd place. 

The Nakamoto Coefficient is a measure that represents how many node operators will be required to control the share of a layer-1 blockchain which is enough to shut down the network if validators coordinate to do so. The greater the number, the more decentralized the blockchain is.

“Proof-of-Stake blockchains tend to centralize around the biggest validators or staking protocols, like Lido, which actually hold the infrastructure. If Lido goes down once, people will start questioning the decentralization of Proof-of-Stake networks. They may have millions of nodes, but the real control over consensus is in the hands of few. We always wanted to change this,” says Humanode co-founder Victor. “In Humanode, one person can only launch one node, which is verified with cryptobiometric technology. All validators wield equal power, meaning that the Humanode chain decentralization increases proportionally to the number of human nodes. Imagine what kind of Nakamoto Coefficient will be achieved when we hit 10,000 nodes or 1 million nodes!? This makes a coordinated attack almost impossible. No project will be able to claim that it is more decentralized than Humanode.”

Humanode will soon unveil its governance protocol where one human node has only one vote, creating the first democratic DAO which will control the further development of the core protocol and its ecosystem.

About Humanode

Humanode, built on Polkadot SDK as an EVM Compatible Layer-1, is the first cryptobiometric blockchain where one human = one node = one vote. It utilizes private facial recognition which protects against multiple accounts and bots taking advantage of retroactive airdrops, DAOs, DeFi, NFT mints, GameFi, and more. After just a year from mainnet launch, Humanode boasts 500,000+ users and 70+ projects utilizing its cryptobiometric technology.

Three days into its existence, $ROCKY, the latest meme coin to hit the Base blockchain, has surged to a remarkable $20.6 million market cap in a predominantly red market. Launched quietly on a Saturday by MetaWin’s founder, Skel, the rise of $ROCKY has achieved growth without the benefit of prior hype or a pre-sale event. Surprisingly, even the internal MetaWin team was unaware of the launch, waking up to the news only as it began trending among users in the Arena Discord.

Skel promptly rallied a task force from MetaWin’s 80-strong team to devise a robust strategy for $ROCKY’s future. Enhancements have been rapid and impactful, with the team securing a partnership with a renowned Hollywood art studio to bolster their social media campaigns, integrating $ROCKY into MetaWin’s platform for token-gated competitions, and leveraging their in-house network of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) effectively.

In a bold move on X (formerly Twitter), Skel projected a $100 million market cap for $ROCKY, offering to provide exit liquidity at a $5 million valuation – a commitment that saw the token’s price quadruple within just ten hours.

“The wider market was downtrending, and $ROCKY was initially part of that slump. I dislike seeing our community disheartened. Although I was undecided about throwing our full support behind the project, at MetaWin, when we commit, we go all in,” stated Skel. “Seeing the enthusiasm from our community has solidified $ROCKY as MetaWin’s unofficial meme coin, and we are now unified in the vision of reaching a $100 million market cap.”

This Friday’s prize draw, a staple event on the MetaWin platform, is now valued at $15,000 due to the value of the $ROCKY prizes.

“With the formidable team we have and the unwavering support of the MetaWin community, I believe we can achieve extraordinary things. $ROCKY is now the fastest growing meme coin in the history of the Base chain. While the road ahead is promising, with potential to scale towards the likes of Pepe’s $3 billion market cap, we always remind our community about the high-risk nature of cryptocurrency investments,” Skel added.

The inception of $ROCKY drew its initial spark from an unlikely source – a picture of Skel’s Pomeranian, also named Rocky, perched on a pile of money. This image, processed through ChatGPT’s DALL-E AI image generator, became the inaugural graphic identity for the token across social media and various DEX tools.

In a display of commitment to the coin’s longevity and their community’s trust, the MetaWin team has locked up their token allocation for a minimum of one year, ensuring that they stand firmly alongside their community in this venture.

As $ROCKY’s journey continues, the market watches with anticipation, marking an extraordinary chapter in the annals of cryptocurrency’s vibrant history. With its current trajectory, $ROCKY is not just a token; it’s a testament to what the community can achieve when united behind a visionary leader and an innovative project.

Users can participate in $ROCKY daily competitions on BASE or with an NFT purchase.

For the latest updates and to embark on the $ROCKY journey users can visit www.RockyCoinbase.com or X.com/rockycoinbase.

About MetaWin:

Founded by Skel, MetaWin stands as the premier platform for on-chain prize competitions and instant win games, offering a diverse array of entertaining challenges for users. Through the utilisation of cutting-edge blockchain technology, MetaWin ensures a transparent, fair, and secure gaming environment, making it the preferred destination for blockchain enthusiasts and gamers alike.

Santa Clara, California, April 27th, 2024, Chainwire

CARV, the largest modular data layer for gaming and AI, today announces its highly anticipated debut node sale. This is another major milestone towards CARV’s mission to maximize data innovation while ensuring individuals can share the value created in a user-owned internet.

Starting May 13, users worldwide can become part of CARV’s decentralized data network, contributing to the redistribution of value and earning rewards by running lightweight verifier nodes.

The What And Why Of Nodes

Imagine a future where your data is truly yours – a future where users have the power to own, control, and monetize all personal data generated. Thanks to CARV’s groundbreaking data-value exchange platform, this vision is becoming a reality. With its modular data layer, CARV is revolutionizing how personal data is used and shared across gaming, AI, and countless other sectors, paving the way for a user-owned internet where individuals can rightfully profit from the value their data creates.

Over 2.5M users have already joined this data revolution, making CARV one of the largest ecosystems by unique active wallets (UAW) of 650K+ across multiple blockchain networks, including zkSync, Linea, opBNB, Ronin, and 40+ more chains.

As the CARV ecosystem continues to expand, running verifier nodes is crucial to maintain integrity and security in its decentralized data processing environment. Verifier nodes validate attestations produced by Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) nodes, ensuring the data processing is executed securely and as intended. A majority of honest verifiers exceeding 50% is crucial for accurately verifying and recording attestation results on the blockchain, thereby maintaining protocol reliability while preserving privacy.

The Benefits Of Running Nodes With CARV

CARV’s debut node sale makes this possible by offering a limited supply of 100,000 verifier nodes through a multi-tier pricing system starting at sub $500. In return, node operators will earn a significant portion of the network’s native $CARV tokens. 25% of the total supply is allocated for distribution to verifiers, to be released over time. 

According to the release model, which sees a reduction of 25% every six months, approximately 50% of the tokens are expected to be released in the first year alone. With 700+ games and AI companies integrated, rewards also come from ecosystem partners. Verifier nodes are designed to be simple to run, as light as getting it up and running with just a few steps. There is also a one-click solution to delegate to node as a service providers as well. 

This bold step towards decentralization empowers users to become active participants in the new data economy that respects user autonomy and privacy.

“We’ve reached an inflection point where users rightfully demand ownership and compensation for their data,” said Victor Yu, CARV Co-Founder. “Our node sale is a big step towards realizing that vision by allowing everyone to become active stakeholders in a truly decentralized data ecosystem.”

The CARV node sale will be conducted in phases:

• Institutions / Organization Sales: May 3, 2024, at 12PM UTC (e.g., via launchpads, syndicate DAOs, NFT communities and more)
• Whitelist Node Sale Launch: May 13, 2024, at 12PM UTC (available for 48 hours) 
• Public Node Sale Launch: May 15, 2024, at 12PM UTC

The first major contemporary artist to adopt the Bitcoin blockchain

LiveArt proudly unveils Human by Yue Minjun, the first-ever Ordinals collection from a contemporary art giant.

This pioneering collection of 1,200 unique digital masterpieces on the Bitcoin blockchain chronicles the pivotal moments defining our digital age. With over $150 million in physical and digital art sales, Yue Minjun’s iconic laughter echoes louder than ever.

“Bitcoin blockchain has the credibility and permanence that is unmatched in the crypto universe. We are bringing Yue Minjun to Bitcoin Ordinals because the art world’s blue-chip artists belong on the crypto world’s blue-chip blockchain,” says Boris Pevzner, CEO and Co-Founder of LiveArt. Human is backed by a narrative that’s scored millions at auction and smashed records with “Gweong-Gweong” fetching $6.9 million at Christie’s Hong Kong. 

Yue Minjun shares his vision, “After my initial venture into NFTs with ‘Boundless,’ I’ve grown even more fascinated by the potential of Web3 technologies. The dynamic evolution of Bitcoin and the broader landscape of decentralized finance have inspired me to interpret the world’s history from a digital perspective. ‘Human’ embodies this vision, melding my art with significant contemporary narratives.”

Set to launch on May 8th, 2024, Human represents an inflection point for art on the Bitcoin blockchain. It is published exclusively on LiveArt, in partnership with top-tier Ordinals communities, including the Ordinals Council, Sparks, Xverse, Pizza Ninjas, and Ink, among others.

“Yue Minjun’s ‘Human’ Ordinals collection is a significant milestone for the Bitcoin blockchain. As the first major contemporary artist on Bitcoin Ordinals, Yue Minjun will be forever inscribed as a pioneering artist in the history of the Bitcoin blockchain. The Ordinals Council is proud to support this groundbreaking project, which paves the way for the future of art on Bitcoin,” remarks Serge Ajamian, founder of the Ordinals Council.

This collection is set for a rapid sell-out during the ‘allowlist’ event exclusively for LiveArt Partners and Members. Get ready to witness a monumental shift in the art-meets-Bitcoin universe.
