    After selling out their $16.4m presale, Metacade is now set to list its token MCADE on the well-known centralised exchange BitMart, which boasts over 9 million users.

    The listing is scheduled to take place on Friday, 20th April, 9 am UTC, at which point registered users of BitMart will be able to buy, sell & trade MCADE tokens.

    Metacade has seen strong momentum following numerous announcements and milestones. It sold out its huge $16.4m presale early, quickly followed by the 250m token 6-month staking pool selling out in under 5 hours. Furthermore, Metacade also announced a partnership with gaming company Metastudio, leading to a significant buzz amongst GameFi investors.

    At the time of writing, the price of the Metacade (MCADE) token is $0.0173, with a diluted market cap of over $35m and an average daily trading volume of $500,000 since launch.

    Russell Bennet, CEO of Metacade, commented:

    “After listing on Uniswap, we saw sell orders being instantly filled on the buy side and minimal selling pressure, which in this climate is a sign that we have something truly special. This was reinforced by our staking pool selling out in 5 hours! With our upcoming exchange listings, I hope we will see the positive price appreciation that usually follows, and from there, the sky’s the limit!”

    Following the listing on BitMart, Metacade has confirmed another top-tier exchange, MEXC, will be listing Metacade in early May. More exchanges are expected to be announced in the coming months.

    Swaap Closes $4.5M Seed Round and Announces Upcoming v2 Launch

    Paris, France, April 19th, 2023, Chainwire

    Swaap Labs, the company building Swaap, has successfully secured over $4.5 million in seed funding. Swaap builds the Next-Generation Market Making Protocol that leverages a combination of oracles and dynamic spread for sustainable yields and reduced trading costs. Its unique approach aims to offer liquidity providers (LPs) passive and profitable market-making strategies, addressing the critical issue of impermanent loss, prevalent in DeFi.

    Launched in July 2022 on Polygon, Swaap v1 has already proven that profitable market-making on-chain is possible. Its WBTC / WETH / USDC pool, powered by Chainlink price feeds, has recorded less than 0.1% of impermanent loss.

    Swaap v2 is set to revolutionize the DeFi landscape with its new enhancements and features, further improving v1. It employs the most advanced market-making models in DeFi, built by leveraging the AMM (automated market maker) simulator developed in collaboration with the Louis Bachelier Institute, a leading Math Research Institute.

    Swaap v2 further boasts innovative architecture that delivers a significant improvement in data latency, elevating the platform’s overall performance. Additionally, this new architecture empowers users with access to a diverse range of tokens, including yield-bearing options, further expanding the platform’s capabilities and solidifying Swaap v2 as a frontrunner in the DeFi space.

    The seed funding round was led by Signature Ventures with participation from high-profile investors including New Form Capital, C² Ventures, Kima Ventures, Pareto Ventures, Entrepreneur First (where Swaap’s co-founders met), and renowned business angels like Julien Bouteloup (Stake Capital), Pascal Gauthier (Ledger CEO), Richard Ma (Quantstamp CEO), Tegan Kline (The Graph), Meltem Demirors (Coinshares CSO), Frederic Montagnon (Arianee Co-Founder), and Thibaud Elzière (eFounders CEO). 

    Cyrille Pastour, the co-founder of Swaap Labs, said, “We are thrilled to have the support of our investors as we work to democratize DeFi and create a more efficient environment for Liquidity Providers. This funding will enable us to accelerate the development and release of Swaap v2, which promises to deliver even more value to LPs and traders in the DeFi ecosystem.”

    “We are proud to work with the outstanding team at Swaap Labs and to be a part of their journey. We think Swaap’s Market Maker protocol is a true game-changer for decentralized finance,” said Dr. Georg (Juri) Stricker, Tech Partner at Signature Ventures. “Building upon the progressively more scalable public chain infrastructure as well as more transparent and robust oracle infrastructure, Swaap is setting new standards in DEX efficiencies for liquidity providers and traders. By offering more stable yields and sustainable returns, we believe Swaap is an essential building block in the evolution of DeFi towards a financial system.”

  • Astar Network CEO Sota Watanabe To Shed Light on Why Japan is Embracing Crypto at Consensus 2023

    Astar Network CEO Sota Watanabe To Shed Light on Why Japan is Embracing Crypto at Consensus 2023

    Tokyo, Japan, April 17th, 2023, Chainwire

    Astar Network, a smart contracts platform for multichain, is delighted to announce that its Founder and CEO Sota Watanabe will be presenting at the prestigious Consensus 2023 event in Austin, Texas. He will be taking the stage on Thursday, April 27 at 11:00 – 11:30 CT.

    Sota Watanabe will be discussing why Japan is embracing crypto while regulators in other leading economies are struggling to figure out how to deal with crypto and Web3. He is a leading authority on the subject, having worked closely with the Japanese government in shaping the nation’s Web3 strategy. 

    As lawmakers and regulators from the US to Europe to Asia express increased wariness of crypto, Web3 promotion remains part of Japan’s national strategy. An early mover in the field, Japan learned hard lessons from the 2014 Mt Gox collapse and the record 2018 Coincheck hack and its approach to regulation has mitigated the impact of FTX’s collapse on Japanese users.

    “I’m excited to join this group representing Japan’s crypto community to share insights with the Consensus community. Being a founder of the first public blockchain in Japan has led me to become involved in planning a national strategy to use digital assets and develop Web3 solutions. I want to bring those lessons to the US and other countries,” said Sota Watanabe, Founder of Astar Network.

    Today, the Japanese government has made Web3 a part of its national strategy and Astar Network CEO Sota Watanabe is helping the government as well as the key business players on a path forward in Web3. Japan’s leading corporations including Toyota Motor Corporation and Sony Network Communications have teamed up with Astar Network to explore the opportunities in Web3.

    Consensus 2023, the coveted Web3 event from CoinDesk, is all set to kick off from April 26 to April 28. It is the world’s largest and most influential gathering that brings together all sides of the cryptocurrency, blockchain and Web3 community, including the developers, investors, founders, brands, policymakers and more. In its 2022 edition, the event saw over 20,000 attendees from 112 countries alongside over 500 thought leaders and speakers.

    Astar Network is the leading Layer-1 in Japan, having been voted the most popular blockchain in the country by the Japanese Blockchain Association. It is the go-to blockchain for developers and enterprises interested in exploring the Japanese Web3 space. Astar is also the first public blockchain from the country to be listed there despite Japan’s strict listing regulations. Astar’s native token ASTR is registered as a cryptocurrency, not a security, by the Japanese government.

    About Astar Network

    Astar Network supports the building of dApps with EVM and WASM smart contracts and offers developers true interoperability with cross-consensus messaging (XCM) and a cross-virtual machine (XVM). Astar’s unique Build2Earn model empowers developers to get paid through a dApp staking mechanism for their code and the dApps they build.

    OKX Survey: 83% of Community Expects More ETH Staking Around Shanghai-Capella Upgrade, 63% See New Record High by End of 2023

    Victoria, Seychelles, April 7th, 2023, Chainwire

    OKX, the world’s second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume and a leading Web3 technology company, today released the findings of a survey on the perceived market impact of the two-part Shanghai-Capella (a.k.a. Shapella) upgrade, which is slated for April 12 and will enable withdrawals of staked ether (ETH). 

    Key findings include:

    • 83% of those surveyed expect that more ETH will be staked in the next three months
    • 63% of respondents predict that ETH will hit a new record high of over USD5,000 by the end of 2023
    • 79% of those surveyed expect ETH’s price to react differently to Shapella than the Merge*: 
    • 59% think it will keep increasing before and after the upgrade
    • 20% believe ETH will move sideways
    • 33% of respondents think ETH will be over its current six-month high of USD2,000 in June 2023, but still below its 12-month high of USD3,000
    • 34% of those surveyed predict ETH at below $2,000, while 33% believe it will be at least $3,100 by June 2023

    17.9 million ETH was staked as of April 5, 2023. This was equivalent to over USD34 billion. The APR investors earn on staked ETH is currently 4.65%, a figure that decreases as the pool of staked ETH increases.

    OKX will begin processing withdrawal requests for staked ether within one week of Shapella going live, following the company’s completion of on-chain code audits to ensure customer safety.

    The survey was conducted by OKX from March 1-5, 2023 with 700 ETH traders, investors, and network developers at the ETH Denver conference.

  • TemDAO World Heritage Project Helps the Cultural Sector through Democracy-Fueled Donations

    TemDAO World Heritage Project Helps the Cultural Sector through Democracy-Fueled Donations

    Tokyo, Japan, April 11th, 2023, Chainwire

    TemDAO is a world heritage project that seeks to protect and preserve cultural assets through donations and democracy. The project, powered by the $TEM token, ensures the long-term sustainability of global cultural sites.

    Recently, TemDAO has made notable donations for preservation efforts in Ukraine, Turkey, and other regions worldwide. These actions aim to help communities preserve their existence and their global heritage.

    The team underlines the importance of recognizing the significance of preserving the world’s shared cultural history. TemDAO aims to positively impact global culture through its unique strategy and solutions.

    The Team’s Strategy for World Heritage and Cultural Assets Protection

    TemDAO has an innovative strategy for protecting world heritage and cultural assets. The project intends to empower individuals and organizations to stimulate projects that preserve these important resources.

    As a current initiative, the TemDAO team is working with Ninna-ji temple, one of the temples in Kyoto, Japan.

    There are many temples in Kyoto, but they have the problem of aging and need to be repaired or rebuilt. Ninna-ji Temple and TemDAO are working together to attempt to reconstruct the temple through donations.

    The project relies on transparent transactions in which all expenses are recorded on-chain, making corruption impossible and allowing for offering special utilities to collaborators who agree with their aims.

    The proposed utility is the right to stay in a special part of the temple. That room has an important historical significance, where an old emperor used to live. Wouldn’t it be historic to be able to stay in the same room and experience the same feelings?

    TemDAO is exploring the possibility of connecting the world of Buddhism at Ninna-ji Temple with the reality of their DAO to achieve sustainable protection and restoration of Ninna-ji Temple.

    A System Fueled by Democracy and the $TEM Token

    TemDAO is a platform that utilizes blockchain technology to facilitate the protection and maintenance of global heritage sites. It features two forms of democratic governance: off-chain voting, known as ‘soft’ governance, and on-chain voting.

    The $TEM token serves as the fuel for this system, with multiple use cases:

    1. It allows holders to lock $TEM. The operation enables the community to govern fundraising proposals and decide fund allocation.
    2. It enables the community to pay commission fees for IP-NFT trading.
    3. Staking $TEM creates a pool for fundraising and project reviews.
    4. Depositing $TEM allows users to become nodes that review projects while deterring cheating.

    The $TEM token distribution aims to provide incentives for all stakeholders in a democratic manner. Specifically, most of the tokens (62%) go to the ecosystem. This includes participants in World Heritage or cultural asset protection and funds for equipment and repairs.

    Additionally, 14% of the tokens help the team push its marketing efforts. The same quantity (14%) goes to developing the platform and its supporting services. The remaining 10% is in the hands of TemDAO stakeholders, such as the team, investors, prospective employees, and strategic partners.

    TemDAO’s decentralized governance mechanism preserves world history by balancing token utility and fund allocation.

    The Project’s Recent Donations for World Heritage Preservation

    The TEM project team has recently donated to several organizations to support the people and communities affected by global events. All of these donations were made from $TEM profits.

    In particular, they have donated funds to aid Ukraine following the Russian invasion of 2022. The team donated for relief efforts after an earthquake hit Turkey in February 2023. The team has contributed to NPOs and NGOs such as “Save the Children,” “Binance Charity,” and others through these donations.

    The project’s mission is to make sure that the world’s heritage is preserved and protected. In such a context, donations represent a direct way of contributing to this goal. The project team is committed to ensuring their donations are put to good use.

    About TemDAO

    TemDAO is a world heritage protection and development DAO accelerator. The project provides a large ecosystem of resources and support to fund, govern, and develop cultural properties worldwide.

    TemDAO uses a decentralized, democratic governance system powered by the $TEM token. This approach preserves and maintains world heritage sites through off-chain and on-chain voting processes and more.

    The team has recently partnered with the Giving Block, a popular name in the world of crypto charities. The Giving Block has gradually built a reputation as the go-to platform for nonprofits looking to accept cryptocurrency donations. This partnership is a great opportunity for TemDAO to enhance its mission of protecting the world’s precious heritage sites and accelerating its fundraising efforts.

    The project’s recent donations go in the same direction, providing relief and support to communities affected by global crises. By doing so, TemDAO ensures the preservation of the world’s heritage for future generations.
