FOMO BULL CLUB, a decentralized, community-driven platform, is thrilled to announce the launch of its inaugural meme coin launchpad on the Base blockchain. This pioneering platform empowers the community to play a pivotal role in meme coin creation, launch, and protection from scams and rug pulls. 

With the meme coin market experiencing unprecedented growth, rising scams, and rug pulls, FOMO BULL CLUB recognized the urgent need for a reliable launchpad that prioritizes community safety while fostering meme coin innovation. The launchpad is meticulously designed to encourage creativity, enable democratic decision-making, and safeguard against fraudulent activities.

In its first phase, the launchpad introduces eight exciting meme coins, each with unique characteristics and potential to disrupt the meme coin landscape. However, the real power lies with its launchpad members, who can vote on which meme coins will be launched, ensuring that community preferences dictate the selection process.

FOMO BULL CLUB’s commitment to community protection is not just a statement; it’s evident in every aspect of the launchpad. Smart contracts undergo auditing, and ownership is renounced to eliminate the risk of rug pulls. Additionally, the decentralized nature of the launchpad minimizes the influence of gatekeepers, ensuring fair and transparent meme coin launches.

“We are excited to introduce the FOMO BULL CLUB meme coin launchpad and empower our community to shape the future of meme coins,” said Jordan Charters, Head of Business Development of FOMO BULL CLUB. “With our decentralized approach and focus on community protection, we aim to revolutionize the meme coin space and foster innovation and creativity.”

Algotech (ALGT) has emerged in the limelight again with the milestone of raising $500,000 in a single day during its ongoing presale. In less than four weeks of the current presale, Algotech has raised over $3.5 million.

Algotech’s Journey 

Algotech was launched as an initiative by successful traders and technology experts who wanted to democratize access to advanced trading tools for layman users. The team wanted to provide beginning traders with the same high-tech tools that are used by hedge funds and large-scale investment firms. Combining this with the effectiveness of blockchain technology, Algotech has set its sights on becoming the leading platform by bridging together AI and blockchain technology in the trading segment. 

Bringing Together AI and Finance 

Millions of new users are embracing blockchain technology for its groundbreaking potential. However they still have to rely on traditional exchanges that design the ecosystem to favor institutional investors. Algotech is rectifying this challenge by introducing the first artificial intelligence (AI) based exchange that will allow users to have advantages in trading. The platform makes it simple for users to invest in cryptocurrencies and receive automated investment guidance. 

Algotech’s Key Features 

What makes Algotech a standout leader in the segment is the core features that have been introduced for traders. Imagine a trading landscape where regular traders have access to the same tools and resources as hedge funds and large-scale institutional investors. These tools conventionally have massive fees and are only available to a limited number of institutes. This is precisely the challenge that Algotech is working on addressing. 

Here are the core features that are making Algotech is working on:

Breakout Detection

The breakout detection feature relies on advanced algorithms that factor in over 1000 unique data points to identify breakout opportunities. These algorithms have been trained on H100 GPUs to ensure that traders can get accurate investment calls for high-precision calls. 

Hedging 

Algotech allows traders to minimize investment risk by monitoring funding levels, liquidity, and spread. These factors generate warnings and allow users to implement advanced risk management including automated stop-losses. 

High-Volume Arbitrage

This feature allows users to take advantage of the difference in pricing between different platforms using Algotech’s technical APIs. With high positioning sizing, users can handle trades with ease. 

The Growing AI Blockchain Segment 

The growth of the AI sector has been exceptional. In the past few years, the sector has grown multifold, and today, it has a market cap of over $25 billion, according to CoinGecko. In the coming few years, this number is expected to explode further as millions of new users are now looking for AI-based features in their day-to-day applications. One of the biggest sectors under the spotlight is the trading sector. The global cryptocurrency exchange segment is currently valued at over $45 Billion and is expected to reach $110 Billion in 2028. Additionally, beyond just cryptos alone, AI blockchain technology is also expected to serve as the backbone of the global trading ecosystem. This is where Algotech expects to bridge the gap by introducing AI-based trading features. These features will allow beginner traders to have an even playing ground against leading institutional investors and seamlessly invest using AI as their guide. 

About Algotech

As Algotech continues its journey to transform Decentralized Finance (DeFi) with its innovative products, it is exciting to see the community support for this mission. The platform is democratizing access to trading tools for individuals across the world by providing AI features. Additionally, Algotech is making investing inclusive for the broader community by making it simple for users to become an early part of the community by providing governance rights and profit shares. As the project moves through its phases, we can only look toward the achievements that are on the horizon for Algotech, a true AI-blockchain project.

LeverFi, a leading web3 innovation team, has launched OmniZK, a secure validation protocol for Bitcoin that enables developers to create complex, interoperable DeFi applications by shifting complex logic onto EVM networks and relay verified outcomes with zkOracles. The protocol’s modular design allows non-custodial, decentralized contracts to be settled natively on the Bitcoin network in a secure.

LeverFi is proud to announce the launch of OmniZK, a groundbreaking secure validation protocol for Bitcoin that expands the possibilities for DeFi and omnichain interactions. By allowing developers to shift complex computations onto EVM layers and relay verified event outcomes back to the Bitcoin network, OmniZK enables the creation of programmable, interoperable native applications on Bitcoin that are scalable and capable of handling complex scenarios.

Enabling Bitcoin DeFi and complex logic for Bitcoin

Bitcoin Script’s Turing-incomplete nature has long been a barrier to the development of complex applications on the Bitcoin network, making the development of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on Bitcoin especially challenging.

OmniZK solves this issue by providing a modular framework for constructing conditional, non-custodial Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs) secured by event proofs generated by zkOracles. OmniRelayers, running in a Trusted Execution Environment, are restricted to only transmitting and signing for verified event outcomes, thereby producing robust security for contract settlement within the Bitcoin network.

With the OmniZK SDK, developers can easily build and deploy DLC applications that utilize verified event data from any EVM network for contract settlement finality on Bitcoin. This empowers various interchain Bitcoin use cases, including non-custodial BTC liquid staking, cross-chain Bitcoin DeFi markets, decentralized asset bridges, and omnichain liquidity management.

“OmniZK is a significant step forward for Bitcoin DeFi and interoperability,” said Charissa K, Head of Developer Relations at LeverFi. “By enabling secure, non-custodial contracts that settle natively on the Bitcoin network and providing an alternative to centralized bridges, we’re unlocking a new era of possibilities for Bitcoin developers and users alike.”

Applications built using OmniZK are independent of yet complementary to Bitcoin L2s, as they interact with and communicate with L2s, but with final settlements done natively on Bitcoin, outside of the L2s. 

An example can be an application that issues a chain-agnostic wrapped BTC asset that can be freely minted, burned or transferred, without having the underlying BTC being custodied on a L2 multi-sig bridge.

This places OmniZK at an interesting nexus of the rapidly growing Bitcoin ecosystem and offer alternatives to developers and users who wish to build and settle within the native Bitcoin layer.

LEVER Staking Program and Benefits

The LeverFi ecosystem, which includes the OmniZK protocol, are powered by LEVER, its ecosystem token which is easily accessible on leading global exchanges including Binance, Bybit, Bithumb, Gate and more.

OmniRelayers who wish to participate in the security, functioning and governance of the OmniZK network are required to stake LEVER to join as operators to earn staking rewards and contract gas fees. There will also be a delegation program for users to stake with validators and enjoy the benefits of LEVER staking.

In addition to the above, LEVER confers a wide range of benefits including gated access to its LeverPro launchpad for high potential Bitcoin DeFi projects and reduced fees on its EVM-based non-custodial swap platform.

LeverFi invites developers and validators to explore the potential of OmniZK and start building the next generation of Bitcoin DeFi applications.

About LeverFi

Backed by world-class investors, LeverFi is a leading web3 innovation firm that continually reimagines the boundaries of decentralized finance. With its latest roadmap, LeverFi is set to break new ground and create new possibilities for Bitcoin and global web3 ecosystems.

George Town, Cayman Islands, April 3rd, 2024, Chainwire

The VGX Foundation, a Cayman Islands Foundation, has partnered with Genopets to integrate the VGX token as a reward in their popular move-to-earn NFT mobile game on Solana. The partnership introduces VGX as a reward token in the Genopets game, creating utility and rewards for using VGX within the Genopets ecosystem. 

VGX is a token that bridges multiple chains and is focused on bridging utility across GameFi and gaming ecosystems. 

Genopets launched in 2021 and is one of the largest games on Solana with more than 200k active players during their private beta. It’s a free-to-play mobile game where players summon digital pets (their “Genopet”), which evolve and grow as players move around and stay active in the real world. Each day players bank the steps they take in the real world to earn energy they can use to upgrade and customize their Genopet through stages of evolution. Now VGX can be awarded to players for the Energy they earn in the game.

The partnership starts with a series of competitions for Genopets players to earn VGX from a $150,000 prize pool by banking their steps daily and competing on the Energy leaderboard. The leaderboard competition is open to new and existing Genopets players.

Additionally, new players downloading Genopets can claim a special reward of rare food and toys for their Genopet by using referral code “VGX” when they sign up as a new user and bank their first steps during this campaign.

To further expand the partnership, players who earn VGX will also be able to take their VGX to Gala Games and use it to purchase a season pass for Voyager: Ascension, which will unlock further rewards in future games.

“We’re thrilled to announce a synergistic partnership with Genopets, an original leader in web3 gaming on Solana,” said Claire Abrehart, Director of VGX (BVI) Ltd. “This collaboration, alongside our recent success with Gala Games, further unlocks new possibilities for the VGX ecosystem. By integrating our token with both Genopets’s vibrant player community and the dedicated Gala Games audience, we’re fostering an innovative future for in-game rewards and experiences across the Web3 gaming landscape.”

“Partnering across foundations to bring new incentives to players in Genopets with leaders in Web3 Gaming like the VGX Foundation and Gala Games is a huge opportunity for our foundation,” said Jay Chang, Co-founder of Genopets. “Genopets was created to make living an active lifestyle more fun and rewarding by bridging physical and digital worlds and there couldn’t be better partners to grow our foundation’s ecosystem with.”

Earlier this year, the VGX Foundation also announced a partnership with Gala Games, using the GalaChain SDK to integrate VGX into Gala Games as a reward token used to acquire in-game items and unlock engagement opportunities. After integration is complete, gamers will be able to earn VGX-based rewards for in-game achievements within specific titles.

About the VGX Foundation

The VGX Foundation leads the evolution of decentralized gaming economies through its dynamic blockchain-based gaming token, VGX. Serving as an in-game currency and reward mechanism, VGX empowers diverse gaming communities. The VGX Foundation actively fosters growth by facilitating grants and partnerships for game developers and platforms, enabling the expansion of the token’s use case and nurturing a thriving VGX ecosystem.

About Genopets

Genopets is a Free-to-Play, Move-to-Earn NFT mobile game that makes it fun and rewarding to live an active lifestyle. A Genopet is a digital pet whose evolution and growth are inextricably linked to your own. The steps you take everyday power your journey through the Genoverse as you explore, battle, and evolve — earning crypto while you play.

Moreover, we aim to not only present sessions and speeches but also provide real Web3 experiences, showing impactful real-life use cases of blockchain through our official web app. This app is designed for ordinary audiences who may not be familiar with blockchain Dapps. We seek to inspire actionable initiatives and projects that address pressing challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities in Southeast Asia’s evolving blockchain landscape.”

The SEABW will be held on April 22-28 at the True ICON Hall in Bangkok, Thailand. While the main event will take place on April 24-25, there will be major side events throughout the week including ‘Token X Summit – TOKENIZATION’ on April 23rd, Game Day & Demo Day on April 24-25th and ‘ONCHAIN 2024’ on April 26-28th.

DEMO DAY TO SHOWCASE THE REGION’S INNOVATION

Besides the official VIP & Speakers Night, After Party, and Game Day, the SEABW organizers are particularly focused on the Demo Day that will be held on April 24-25th.
