At the initial stages, aggregation will be available for Curve, SushiSwap, QuickSwap, Aave V2 and Cometh, while more protocols will be gradually added.
Polygon, a platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development, is widely believed to be vital for helping Ethereum keep up with the competition amidst the process of switching to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm.
Aiming to enable Ethereum to become a full-fledged, powerful multi-chain system, Polygon offers a high throughput of roughly 7,000 transactions per second. Unlike Ethereum’s original Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm, in PoS, block transactions are confirmed by validators.
“After the 1inch Network has expanded to Binance Smart Chain, there was a massive request from the community to make Polygon also available for swapping via 1inch. Currently, the 1inch Aggregation Protocol is already deployed on Polygon, while the 1inch Liquidity Protocol and the 1inch Governance Protocol are expected to expand over to Polygon in the upcoming few weeks,” says Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch Network.
To simplify the process of transferring assets between the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains, Polygon runs a bridge connecting the two networks and a dedicated wallet.Enjoy swapping on Polygon via 1inch and stay tuned for more updates to come!
If you thought that blockchain technology couldn’t get any further, you would be surprised.
Weentar is now developing a decentralized social media project that will make the most out of blockchain technology. Not just that, but it will make creators a pillar of the worldwide economy.
Did we catch your attention? Then read further and find out what they plan for influencers and artists around the world.
What is Weentar about?
Weentar is an in-development blockchain project that aims to be a great financial instrument for young generations. The team wants to create a platform that will turn social media content into a stable source of income.
Ok, here’s the deal.
Weentar invites any celebrity, influencer, or artist to join and start posting like usual. But this time, the posts are not going to get their creators, just likes and comments. They can instead launch these posts as NFTs.
That’s right.
Non Fungible Tokens are the stars of this spring, with some being sold for up to $69.3 million. And with Weentar, instead of thinking about how to make a stand-out piece of art, you can just take a picture in your favorite outfit, and that’s it.
Be creative. The more playful and bold your posts are, the more fame they can get – so the bids may go higher. Artists can also use the platform to sell social tokens – like merch or tickets for concerts.
It kind of sounds like Patreon, but with the difference that there’s no centralized entity that runs Weentar – which gives youngsters a lot more freedom. This will be a game-changer for millions of creators who want to make their voices heard and their colors seen.
How to join the Weentar platform
Weentar is built with blockchain technology, which means you will need a ticket to join – its core cryptocurrency, the WNTR.
The WNTR is now available on Presale, which is going to end on May 17th, 2021. The ICO started on April 20th, and until now, more than 4,000,000 tokens were sold.
To buy the WNTR token, you need to connect your Metamask Wallet and send BNB to the presale contract address. With just 1 BNB, you can get 25,000 WNTRs.
Besides being the ticket to the Weentar social media platform, WNTR also gives creators and fans an essential role in developing the project – they can vote on the next steps.
About the team
Weentar Project is backed up by four people – Eduardo Fonnegra, Sebastian Dine, Clinton Murphy, and Kailash Sharan Bara. They represent all the four pillars for a great business idea: Digital Marketing, Quality Assurance, Management, and Blockchain Development.
What would you need more?
Their goals reflect their optimistic view over the future of cryptocurrencies, which is truly inspiring. They already got a partnership with Lil Yachty, and they started negotiations with thousands of other artists.
Until the end of 2021, they aim to get no less than 500 celebrities to run the Weentar platform and get a place in the top 50 best worldwide projects.
These are massive goals, but they don’t seem to doubt their negotiation and marketing abilities. And frankly, they have all they need to achieve their goals.
They didn’t just stop at defining their target audience. Instead, they analyzed the younger generation’s interests, needs, and communication style. The result was a social media platform that gives them income, freedom, and recognition, all wrapped in a fully transparent system sprinkled with humor.
Are you all set?
If the answer is yes, then what are you waiting for? Join the Largest ICO for the future of Decentralised Social Media along with Lil Yatchy and other celebrities.
deFIRE, the decentralized smart order routing engine being built on Сardano, has raised $5 million in a pre-IDO funding round. The venture capital round comes shortly before the deFIRE token makes its debut through an initial DEX offering on the OccamRazer platform.
The successful close of this latest fundraising round is a key milestone for deFIRE in its journey to pioneer the Cardano’s DeFi landscape. deFIRE plans to spend the funds by expanding its infrastructure, growing its headcount, and scaling its operations through increasing the platform capacity.
deFIRE’s vision has attracted the support of many reputed angels, as well as new investors from every corner of the blockchain sphere.
The new capital injection was led by industry heavyweights such as Morningstar, Cryptodromfund, SwissBorg Ventures, Lotus Capital, MoonWahle, Hype Partners, Axia8 Ventures, Newtribe Capital, GenBlock, Sheesha Finance, IBA, Exnetwork, Nodeseeds, and CoinsGroup.
Mark Berger, President of the Occam Association said: “DeFi is growing at an accelerated pace. Cardano will be the go-to destination for massive flows of on-chain liquidity once smart contracts are released. To accommodate most seamlessly the order flow aimed towards the Cardano-DeFi ecosystem it is crucial to offer optimal, trustless order execution. We embrace this challenge by merging a rockstar tech team that has built its name in the Cardano ecosystem and the wide business network, other resources of Changelly to build the first optimal execution infrastructure for Cardano. Led by the best team and powered by the CWAP native token, deFIRE is light years ahead of competition.”
Eric Benz, Changelly’s CEO noted:
“We are thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of the private round led by some of the largest and most active investors in the rapidly expanding DeFi space. deFire leverages DLT and a contemporary market architecture to revolutionize the high-performance trading landscape by significantly and transparently enhancing order execution quality for institutions and individuals alike. Working alongside I am sure we will bring a lot of value and liquidity to the Cardano ecosystem.”
deFIRE is a DeFi project incubated by Occam.fi and powered by Changelly’s vast network and domain expertise. The platform was created to usher in a new paradigm where network participants can efficiently and safely gain access to optimal execution services across decentralised exchanges (DEXs). The offering covers token swaps, order routing services across DEXs, as well as providing intermediary services between order flow originators and ultimate execution venues.
From the market infrastructure perspective, deFIRE captures the middle of the order execution value chain, essentially being the value-generating middleman between those who seek execution and those who provide facilities for this execution.
The pre-IDO funding allows deFIRE to leverage token liquidity early in its life cycle, build strong community support early in their journey, and also get a sense of price discovery.
With fresh capital at hand, deFIRE plans to expand the scope of the Occam.fi and Changelly collaboration. It will be the first fiat on-ramp and swap platform for Cardano native tokens, allowing any token holder to swap one Cardano token for another directly.
Changelly merges forces with the Occam.fi team and ecosystem, helping to build a more efficient DeFi layer and catalyzing the liquidity of on-chain secondary markets for Cardano.
After concluding its upcoming IDO, the project will move towards decentralizing the governance of their DeFi ecosystem by introducing the deFIRE DAO, where the community of token stakers will be able to introduce and vote on proposals for changing system parameters. More details on this will be provided as deFIRE products are released on the mainnet.
Occam.fi offers the first IDO fundraising capability for high-quality projects looking to build for the Cardano ecosystem. Dubbed ‘OccamRazer,’ the decentralized fundraising launchpad enables new blockchain projects to raise funds as well as giving investors early access to the tokens or coins.
About deFIRE:
deFIRE is currently doing what few of its rivals in the space are creating – a low latency decentralized order router and offering its facilities to the growing network of Cardano ecosystem oriented institutional order flow originators and retail traders. Execution-wise, we connect to the deepest pools of on-chain liquidity out there and also, build one of our own.
About Occam.fi:
The Occam.fi ecosystem is managed and maintained by the Occam Association, a Switzerland-based entity operating from the crypto-friendly Canton of Zug. When the Occam.fi ecosystem grows sufficiently, Occam.fi will be governed and steered by a carefully designed decentralized autonomous organization. Occam.fi is the first decentralized launchpad designed for the Cardano ecosystem, built with expertise and care from a veteran team of blockchain entrepreneurs and professionals.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, May 13, 2021 — The Crypto Volatility Index project, an open-source decentralized finance protocol backed by COTI, is welcoming professor Dan Galai, the co-creator of the VIX, into its board of advisors. Prof. Galai will assist the CVI team in establishing the protocol as the market standard for a crypto analog of the VIX.
The CBOE Market Volatility Index, commonly known by its ticker VIX and often referred to as the “Fear Index”, is a financial instrument tracking the real-time implied volatility of 30-day S&P 500 options. It was initially designed by Dan Galai and Menachem Brenner in a series of papers published after 1989, where they envisioned the creation of a series of volatility indices for different asset classes, including stock markets but also interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The concept was later implemented by the Chicago Board Options Exchange in 1993.
“As advisor to the Crypto Volatility Index project, I’m looking forward to helping design advanced risk management tools for investors in this new, and often wild asset class,” said Prof. Galai. “I am confident the CVI team has the knowledge and capability to put theory into practice and build a truly useful product in the cryptocurrency space.” Prof. Galai has already reviewed the CVI whitepaper and offered valuable suggestions for its implementation.
Prof. Dan Galai is Professor Emeritus of Finance and Business Administration at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He is a world-renowned expert in risk management and financial derivatives, having obtained a PhD in Business Administration at the University of Chicago. In his long career, he served as consultant to the Chicago Board Options Exchange and American Stock Exchange. His academic career included Visiting Professor of Finance positions at INSEAD, HEC Lausanne, UCLA, UC Berkeley, and others.
The Crypto Volatility Index tracks the implied volatility in the next thirty days of major Bitcoin and Ether options markets. Implied volatility is a component of an option’s price representing the market’s expectation of future price movements for the underlying asset. Particularly high implied volatility suggests that the market believes a downturn is imminent, though the prediction does not always match reality.
The CVI, in addition to offering an invaluable indicator for assessing trading and investment strategies, can also be traded directly, offering an incredibly versatile tool for cryptocurrency traders. The volatility index can be used to hedge other crypto positions against downturns, or facilitate creative trading strategies based on market sentiment.
About CVI and $GOVI
Crypto Volatility Index (CVI) is a revolutionary and first of its kind decentralized VIX for the crypto market. The CVI allows users to hedge themselves against market volatility and impermanent loss. CVI is a full-scale decentralized ecosystem that brings the sophisticated and very popular “market fear index” into the crypto market. It is created by computing a decentralized volatility index from cryptocurrency option prices, together with analyzing the market’s expectation of future volatility.
About COTI
COTI is a fully encompassing “Finance on the blockchain” ecosystem, specifically designed to meet the challenges of both centralized finance (fees, latency, global inclusion and risk) and Decentralized Finance DeFi (fees, clogging and complexity) by introducing a new type of DAG based base protocol and infrastructure that is scalable, fast, private, inclusive, low cost and is optimized for finance.
COTI is developing CVI as an open-source decentralized product, governed by its users.
Happy Tuesday Everyone! The pandemic has affected many Countries and activities around the world, and our team isn’t left out. Either someone in our team or someone in their family/relatives are sick, we’re hoping for their speedy recovery but blockchain never sleeps and the rest of us are working hard behind the scenes, developing products, dApps, and services. From today we’re starting Bi-weekly Development Update’s for our community.
As you guys know Project Hydro is an open source decentralized project. No single entity owns Hydro. Couple of months ago, we gave grants to 2 companies to build their products on top of Hydro (Bloceducare & Eternity-Live). So, at the moment we have 3 Companies that are concurrently building their products on top of Hydro.
Let’s start with what Hydro foundation is working on;
Aegir Wallet
We were working on various bug fixes, also taking suggestions from the communities, and will continue to do so. We have built transaction history screens for TUSC, ETH, and ERC20 cards to display all of the past transactions. We have made some improvements on TUSC card like setting proper texts & state messages, and decimals correction. For the same, we are also taking notes from our partner- TUSC Network.
We will be working on Implementation of transaction history screens on BNB and BEP20 cards as well. Showing transaction fee estimation during withdrawals, just before sending the transaction. Displaying holding balance in Fiat currency, and also for the withdrawal transaction.
We also received a lot of feedback from our community regarding the wallet UI and you guys would be happy to know that we are working on revamping the UI/UX of Aegir wallet, we have prepared a user-friendly Prototype and beautiful Style guide for Aegir Wallet. Unfortunately, We cannot share new prototype with you yet as it’s not yet fully functional, but you guys can check out some of the screenshots of the new UI here:
Snowflake dApp Store
Our Snowflake dApp store was following the same UI for the last couple of years & we thought it’s about time our Snowflake store have a new UI. That’s why we’re working on overhauling Snowflake dApp Store UI, and making the new color scheme by following the new Style guide. This will also help us to ensure a similar colour scheme throughout the Hydro ecosystem.
Hydro Escrow Bridge
Some of you guys must be thinking what exactly is Hydro bridge?
It’s a Bridge that will allow the conversion of Hydro ERC20 tokens to Hydro BEP20 tokens or vice versa. Bridge has been in development for the last couple of months, and got deployed on testnet about 4 weeks ago. While testing we observed HIGH Ethereum gas fees and some other issues. We believed that high gas fees would scare or at least it’ll be difficult for some of our Hydro holders to swap tokens, So we decided to work on an alternative solution, where the bridge will use Hydro tokens instead of Ethereum as gas fees, we’re really excited to release it to the community. Be on a lookout for an announcement.
HydroSwap
HydroSwapis one of our biggest and major products till date. It will not just be a DEX (decentralized exchange), it will be a full-featured DeFi platform running on BSC (Binance Smart Chain) just like PancakeSwap. Development is still ongoing, we will share more info regarding it in our next development update.
Apart from these, We successfully redeployed Hydro token back in February, we also distributed the Phase 1 tokens, around 10k+ holders received the new Bep-20 tokens in their personal wallet (you guys can check the details here https://bscscan.com/token/0xf3dbb49999b25c9d6641a9423c7ad84168d00071) and we completed the Phase 2 distribution on CoinEx. As for phase 3 we’re working with the exchanges to complete it as soon as possible. At the moment we are about to distribute tokens to IDEX holders. We are also in contact with Mercatox, Stex & Bitmart to distribute tokens as soon as possible. Please be calm and wait for our further instructions through our social media platforms.
Bloceducare
As promised by Bloceducare, they’ll be developing dApps for our Snowflake store. To fulfill the commitment they’re developing Hydro Lottery Contract for Hydro Lottery dApp and also working on Hydro Chess dApp.
Hydro Lottery
How will the Hydro lottery work ?
To participate in Hydro Lottery, users will be required to purchase a ticket which is a sort of Hydro NFT and each ticket will assign 4 random numbers to the owner. Each round uses VRF oracles to generate 4 random numbers. There will be no maximum number of tickets for each round.
20% of all hydro spent on tickets will be burnt. For example, in a round, if the total hydro accumulated is 10000 hydro, so 2000 hydro tokens will be burnt and the remaining 8000 tokens will be shared to the winners respectively.
We’re really excited to see lottery dApp in action. We will be working closely with the Bloceducare team to release it as soon as possible. We will share more updates in our next development update.
Hydro Chess
The second product Bloceducare is working on is Hydro Chess. They’re taking a step back from developing an standalone app that users need to download on their PC which we started considering will affect mass adoption of the dApp. Instead of that, they started a redesign and will be building a web dApp. So Users can easily play this game directly from their browser. User’s will also be able to use Chess dApp on Aegir Mobile wallet.
Ethernity.live
The Ethernity.live team has been working on Remittance App, and Media Platform for the last couple of months. Read below in detail for each of the projects like what have been done during the past week(s) and what are the plans for next week(s).
Remittance App
Most of our community already knows aboutRemittance app, we released a teaser a while back through our social media outlets. There are still a couple of things to be done in the Remittance app, but most of the back-end side code is complete. For the next couple of weeks they will be working on overhauling the Front-end side(UI/UX) to make it simple yet beautiful and to have similar colour schemes throughout the Hydro ecosystem.
Media Platform
The Media Platform is one of the new products on which they have been working on since the last few months. This product is a combination of Youtube & Twitch.
Media Platform is all about events and live shows. Where creators will be able to perform or share their talents, plus users can interact with them directly. They have already included many features in this product like, Billboard, Ticketing system, Visor for shows, Selfies and videos mosaic, and Messages panel.
Media Platform is the multiple use-cases platform, and there will be a lot of features that can be added on it, for example, creators can convert their personalized art & albums in NFT’s & sell to their fans/audience. Camera map is the next feature in the pipeline that they’re going to Integrate.
These are all of the development updates ongoing on our platform.

12th May, 2021, San Francisco, California — Spring (formerly Teespring) and Bondly, premiere NFT solutions provider that empowers the next generation of NFT creators, announced today their new partnership to enable Spring’s platform for creators to sell both digital and physical product creation, unlocking a new wave of digital potential for the creator economy. Content creators will use Bondly technology on the Spring platform to create, mint and market NFTs.
In addition, Bondly will provide expertise to develop new digital experiences between creators and fans. More than $2 billion was spent on NFTs during the first quarter of 2021 — representing an increase of about 2,100% from Q4 2020*, so there is a lot of revenue that can be generated for individual creators. These new NFT capabilities will empower the creator to be the authentic creator of the initial digital product as well as rewarded for its creation.
Creators will now be able to simultaneously leverage Spring’s industry leading social integrations and combined with Bondly’s creation technology to sell NFTs, all accessible to fans globally at just the click of a button. Much like what they offer with their Digital Products, Spring will provide creators with a place to sell their NFTs, using their distribution channels to present fans with the opportunity to purchase them.
Bondly will power this next generation of digital collectibles and turn year-round fan engagement into a revenue center for influencers and others wanting to maintain ongoing fan interaction through embedded NFT perks and utilities. With the arrival of Web 3.0 which has been framed as the new ‘internet of value’, this value transfer has never been more clear than with the relationship between fan and creator. The partnership between Spring and Bondly will bring creators and fans closer together, as fans are now able to engage in a fandom that is exclusively between them and the creator via the sale of NFT’s on the platform.
Bondly opened the floodgates earlier this year, for mass NFT adoption by being the first to market with unique products in partnership with influencers and musicians and collaborations with gaming/collectibles creators. Bondly created and distributed YouTuber/Influencer Logan Paul’s first-ever limited-edition series of NFT collectibles for fans, generating $1.3M in NFT sales in the first 30-minutes.
And through Bondly’s core product, BONDSwap, singer, songwriter PelleK released and quickly sold out the first-ever NFT music album, earning $160,000. Two-time GRAMMY award-winning group and reggae royalty Morgan Heritage was the first reggae artist in history to introduce one new song and two digitally remastered titles via an NFT, along with rare digital art.
Spring’s platform enables creators to launch ‘social stores’ which allows creators to sell products via the social channels which have given them fame and followers, including TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. These successful partnerships resulted in explosive growth for the platform, with more than 450,000 verified creators signing up to the platform to build their socially integrated ecommerce stores as of January 2021.
2020 saw a spike of activity, with new creator growth exploding by 135%, alongside a 92% growth in the number of creators who are actively selling their products through the platform. Spring has seen more than 30 creators become millionaires as a result of selling on the platform.
CEO of Spring, Chris Lamontagne says:
“NFTs give creators the ability to produce and more importantly, own their digital creations. At Spring our goal is to put the power in the hands of the creator and that begins with ownership. This is an opportunity for creative people to sell their products on the internet in a way which has not been done before. Partnering with Bondly has been excellent, we have a shared vision of a creator economy combined with NFT capabilities at scale and both understand how truly powerful that can be.”
CEO of Bondly, Brandon Smith, said:
“Spring and Bondly are perfect partners because we see NFTs as a fan engagement tool and work to create tailored, perk-enabled NFTs to increase the market value for creators. We focus on quality first, so that each NFT will stand the test of time and maintain its value to the fan, ensuring their perception of each creator not only remains as good as before the sale, but also actually enhances how they feel about them.”

Max Denison Pender, a renowned London-based artist, is on a mission to go to space in 2023 alongside Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa, who is choosing eight crew members to join him on his SpaceX mission. Max wants to paint the Earth from the unparalleled view provided by the moon.
In his quest to paint the earth alongside the stars, Max has entered the Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) realm and traveled to Reykjavik, Iceland, with his crew to paint a self-portrait. This self-portrait is like no other, however. Using a volcano as a stepping stone to the moon, Max set shop near the steaming hot lava and began painting.
The extreme conditions make for a fiery show. Max can be seen in clad his spacesuit and ready to go on his journey to space. “TAKE ME TO THE MOON” can be read on the painting, along with the Icelandic saying “petta reddast” which can be roughly translated to “it’s going to be alright”.
The piece has been digitalized and it has been turned into an NFT on OpenSea which can be found here. The way that Max chose to dispose of, or better yet, part ways with its self-portrait was by dropping down into a steaming stream of lava. The incredible destruction of his work has been covered by national and international media, capturing the footage in drones and helicopters.
Speaking of its amazing journey, Max Denison Pender gave a brief how-to for all the ambitious artists out there. He stated:
“How to make an NFT of a volcano and get to the moon at the same time; Go to Iceland and climb the volcano with easel, canvas and paints. Paint the volcano – don’t get gassed… Get in a helicopter and fly as close to the volcano as you can. Find a drone man crazy enough to fly your painting into the volcano – don’t forget to take a picture of the painting – it’s going to be an NFT, remember? Make sure you ask Yusaku Maesawa to take you to the moon. Fly painting into the volcano and get on Icelandic news. Painting is now tokenized. You have your NFT.”
About Max Denison Pender
Since his first sold-out solo exhibition, The Heart of London, in Kensington, in the summer of 2019, Max’s work has gone from strength to strength, attracting new patrons and noteworthy commissions.
In the run-up to his solo show, he was the first artist in 30 years to gain access to paint the iconic exterior of 10 Downing Street. Following his exhibition, Max was invited to join Team GB as their Artist in Residence for the 2020 Olympics. He painted several known sportspeople, including the world champion boxer Anthony Joshua, in his gym during his training camp.
Max has also painted a series of everyday heroes, including the two critical care nurses who the prime minister singled out for saving his life. The pictures painted from life are currently displayed in Number 10 next to the Prime Minister’s office.
Max is on track to become the hottest artist of the 21st century and if he goes to space in 2023, we will be seeing a lot more about Max in the many years to come. You can find out more about the NFT and how to purchase it here.
