DevourGO leverages the power of web3 technology to create a more engaging and rewarding dining experience for both consumers and restaurants. Empowering food ordering and engagement beyond the traditional apps — in-game, in-entertainment and in-digital communities! With the addition of Coinbase Commerce, DevourGO unlocks a new level of convenience and accessibility for millions of crypto enthusiasts.

“Coinbase Commerce was created to provide new and more accessible avenues for businesses and consumers to transact with crypto,” said Lauren Dowling, Group Product Manager, Coinbase Commerce and Onramp. “We are pleased to integrate with DevourGO and provide convenient, seamless, and a borderless customer experience for restaurants and crypto enthusiasts.”

Benefits of the DevourGO and Coinbase Commerce Integration:

• Increased Revenue for Restaurants: Restaurants using DevourGO can tap into a new customer base of millions of crypto enthusiasts who are eager to spend their digital assets.

Azuro, the leading liquidity layer for onchain predictions, is using Olas, the principal network for autonomous AI agents, to leverage their AI stack for the development of an autonomous agent capable of operating across the Azuro ecosystem.

Azuro is the frontrunner infrastructure layer for sport and entertainment prediction markets within EVM chains. Over 25 apps are operational on the protocol, with many others already in the works. Its innovative liquidity pool design, sophisticated tooling and oracle solutions allow apps to deploy without upfront investment or running costs, saving them valuable development resources that can be directed to user acquisition, engagement and monetization instead.

Transaction volumes on Azuro have been expanding consistently and rapidly over the past year, standing at $350+ million as of this writing, along with a protocol revenue in excess of $3M+, thus becoming the number 1 revenue-generating protocol on Polygon recently.

Olas, known for its composable stack that supports the development of autonomous services, provides a framework for building advanced autonomous agent technology. These AI agents, while running off-chain, are represented on-chain by smart contracts.

This union offers Olas AI technology the opportunity to access the fastest-growing prediction markets ecosystem. The Azuro AI agent will be capable of learning how to accurately predict outcomes of sports events. To maximize its learning, the agent will be retrofitted with data from Azuro markets. This AI agent, once operational, will be able to autonomously analyze, and operate in prediction markets on Azuro, enriching the ecosystem with data-driven insights and predictive capabilities for all participants.

“We are setting the basis for the development of AI agents that can effectively integrate and operate within the Azuro ecosystem. Long term, this integration could unleash a new era in market analysis and empower new applications for prediction markets beyond sports, such as political forecasting, and other entertainment events,” stated Rossen, core contributor at Azuro.

This is an exciting advancement for developers and users of Azuro prediction markets alike. Aside from the creation of the AI agent, Azuro will host a hackathon to provide tools and frameworks for the development of new autonomous agents and the expansion of use cases in prediction markets.

Doggy AI (DOGYAI)has swiftly accumulated over $101,000 in its presale shortly after launch, and the DOGYAI team sees this as an encouraging start in the meme coin market.

Built on the Ethereum blockchain, Doggy AI combines meme culture with advanced AI technology. It aims to attract a broad community by offering daily staking rewards, with the potential for participants to enhance their holdings efficiently.

Presale Achievements and Allocation

The presale of Doggy AI has already surpassed $101,000, with no hard cap specified in the whitepaper. Thirty percent of the token’s 69 billion total supply is allocated for the presale. The allocation plan also designates 20% for staking rewards, 10% for community incentives, 10% for exchange liquidity, 20% for marketing efforts, and the remaining 10% for project support and expansion.

Users can purchase DoggyAI $DOGYAI here. 

Innovative Technology Meets Meme Culture: The New Era of Crypto Marketing

Doggy AI is rallying its vibrant community with the goal of ascending to the pinnacle of the meme coin market, showcasing a progressive model of modern community engagement.

This project caters to a wide range of investor profiles by integrating advanced AI technology within a meme coin format. It appeals to both traders interested in high-risk ventures and those focused on long-term value.

Doggy AI aims to emulate the success of similar ventures like Corgi AI and Turbo, which have effectively merged advanced technology with meme culture.

However, Doggy AI stands out from its predecessors in several ways. First, its playful name and branding capture the contrarian essence of memetic culture. Additionally, its staking rewards are designed to mitigate the volatility typical of meme coins.

Staking Rewards and Market Strategy

The staking supply will be gradually released over two years, initially targeting early participants for rewards. The team hopes these rewards will decrease as more users join the staking pool.

However, these significant rewards are reserved for early participants, as the staking benefits will diminish as more users join the staking pool. The team plans for the prices to rise progressively throughout the presale, rewarding early investors with greater value for their investment.

$DOGYAI is currently trading at $0.000289, but the next uptick will occur in one day or when the total raise hits $714,285.71.

Users can follow Doggy AI on X or join its Telegram to stay updated.

GBM Auctions has announced the completion of the first charity Bid-to-Earn auction for the Polkadot ecosystem. The event, which was hosted on the Moonbeam Network, raised over $92,000 for charity and showcased the GBM’s novel bidding mechanism.

On May 16, GBM Auctions commenced the week-long auctions that saw three unique Polkadot-related items offered to the public: physical copies of the Ethereum Yellow Paper, the Polkadot White Paper, and the JAM Gray Paper, each signed and annotated by Dr. Gavin Wood. 

Bidders used the native Moonbeam token GLMR for bidding, with funds from the event going to the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal charity. The auction utilized Moonbeam’s scalable architecture, which supports fast bidding and low gas fees. In the process, it demonstrated the versatility of the unique auction format pioneered by GBM Auctions.

With a Bid-to-Earn auction, every bidder earns an incentive in the event of being outbid. This provides incentives for greater bidding volume, helping to raise more funds for the project in question. In the process, it ensures that all participants make something from the sale, including the bidders who are eventually outbid.

Hugo McDonaugh, co-founder of GBM Auctions, shared his thoughts on the success of the auctions:“We are delighted with the outcome of the auctions and they surpassed all our expectations. The auction results prove just how powerful our GBM Bid-To-Earn system is.”

The Ethereum Yellow Paper ultimately sold for a top bid of 193,600 GLMR, the Polkadot White Paper for 116,160 GLMR, and the JAM Gray Paper for 60,000 GLMR. In addition to raising $92,000 for charity, the Moonbeam-hosted auction saw the bidders who were outbid collect $12,000 in rewards. The formula has the potential to support a wide range of use cases within the Polkadot ecosystem and the wider blockchain space.

Dr. Gavin Wood, the co-founder of Ethereum and creator of Polkadot, shared his thoughts on the auctions: ​​”I’m proud to have helped raise money for such a humanitarian charity and it’s great to see it happen on Polkadot’s Moonbeam network.”

GBM’s Bid-to-Earn design makes use of smart contracts to provide a transparent and provably fair bidding system. It incentivizes participation while making it easier for the public to bid for items whose fair value may be hard to determine in advance. Through allowing participants to start low and enter increasingly higher bids, the system ensures that a fair value is eventually reached while fairly distributing revenue to underbidders.

Since developing its Bid-to-Earn system in 2018, GBM Auctions has hosted over 70,000 auctions, earning bidders more than $6M in the process. The auction model has been used by leading crypto figures such as Vitalik Buterin and Dr. Gavin Wood to raise money for charity. It has also been harnessed by web3 projects such as Aavegotchi and Unstoppable Domains to distribute NFTs to their communities.

As well as hosting Bid-to-Earn auctions via a dApp, GBM’s system can also be used on secondary marketplaces which enables web3 projects to sell digital assets in a fair manner that eliminates unscrupulous bidding practices while allowing the whole community to participate in a rewarding and engaging experience.

About GBM Auctions

GBM Auctions is the developer of the world’s first Bid-to-Earn auction system. Using web3 technology including smart contracts, it ensures that bidders can make money even when they are outbid. With lifetime volume of over $200M and over $6M earned by bidders, GBM Auctions provides a fair and transparent bidding system for blockchain communities.
