Horst, Netherlands, January 29th, 2024, Chainwire

Casper Association is partnering with ‘Killer Whales,’ a reality TV show from HELLO Labs and co-produced by CoinMarketCap and AltCoinDaily, billed as ‘the Shark Tank of Crypto.’

The Casper Association is a not-for-profit organization based in Switzerland that oversees the Casper Network and supports its organic evolution and continued decentralization. The Association’s key focus is expanding the Casper ecosystem through major protocol updates, developer incentives, tools, and a dedicated growth fund. Casper aims to foster an ecosystem of decentralized and scalable projects. This vision aligns with HELLO Labs, which strives to build a decentralized, vibrant entertainment and gaming ecosystem for a global audience. Both platforms offer a seamless and secure way to engage with Web3 products and services.

The Killer Whales TV show will allow entrepreneurs to pitch ideas for new Web3 products and projects to a panel of judges and entrepreneurs, that include some of the most influential names in Web3 and Web2. The show will preview on HELLO TV and then roll out across a series of global premium streaming services in over 55 countries.

“From day one, we were impressed by the transparency, dedication, and vision the Casper team put in front of us, Killer Whales and HELLO are all about building together in a focused and innovative way. With Casper we believe we have found an Official Blockchain Partner that can assist, and nurture the show participants, with networking and technological benefits. Our launch party in Singapore during Token 2049 was a testimony to that” said HELLO Labs CEO Sander Gortjes in a statement.

Casper is the first L1 blockchain to join Killer Whales as an Official Partner and its core strength lies in its adaptable and upgradable foundation. Thanks to this architecture the network is able to seamlessly evolve in line with the needs of its users, partners, and the projects it supports. Casper’s shared goal with HELLO Labs is to enable projects that apply to be on the show to gain recognition, get feedback from industry leaders, and access funding and assistance for building their innovative Web3 solutions. 

As projects are reviewed and their audits are successful, they will undergo several rounds of interviews in Hollywood before the filming of season two begins in June 2024. The show will be broadcast across major streaming services, which will be announced in the next weeks, and HELLO Labs’ very own streaming platform, HELLO TV.

“I’m excited for Casper’s collaboration with Killer Whales, a front-runner in Web3 innovation. This partnership highlights our dedication to pioneering and cooperative efforts in blockchain. In alliance with HELLO Labs and Killer Whales, we aim to empower emerging entrepreneurs. Our focus is to actively shape revolutionary Web3 projects, setting industry benchmarks and driving transformative ideas,” said Steve Careaga, Managing Director Growth at Casper Association.

Killer Whales participants and the Casper Accelerate Grant Program

The Casper Accelerate Grant Program is a dedicated $25 million fund designed exclusively to support projects and creators building on the Casper Public Mainnet.

The program serves as a catalyst for strengthening the infrastructure of the Casper ecosystem. It is dedicated to identifying and supporting initiatives aimed at elevating interoperability and enhancing the competitiveness of the Casper blockchain. Prioritizing decentralized applications (dApps) that utilize Casper’s unique features, the program extends funding opportunities to DeFi, Gaming, NFTs projects, and Casper-specific crypto research. As part of the collaboration with Killer Whales, participants are welcomed to apply and get introduced.

Staex will enable DePIN building on peaq to easily keep track of the devices joining in and manage their data and services.

peaq, the blockchain for real-world applications, announces the expansion of its ecosystem as Staex joins to decentralize Internet of Things (IoT) network architecture. Staex, which began as a Deutsche Telekom project but is now an independent entity, is a secure peer-to-peer networking and software orchestration platform — a system ensuring smooth interplay between all the moving pieces in IoT interactions. It will arm the decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) on peaq with a set of powerful tools enabling smooth interactions between all the moving pieces, complete with interfaces and a demo app.  

A DePIN can include hundreds of thousands of devices located in dozens of countries around the globe and generating thousands of transactions every second. Behind every transaction — a payment for a vehicle charging session, energy from a private solar panel, or a drone delivery — are multiple exchanges of data. For the system to work smoothly, connecting service providers and their clients, it needs a robust, scalable, and dynamic data architecture powering it.

Staex, an experienced IoT solution provider whose other exciting projects include a Web3-powered business drone corridor in Berlin, joins peaq to provide the DePIN in its ecosystem with a powerful connectivity solution. Staex will provide an indexing pallet for peaq, enabling the community to keep track of the devices connected with the network. Complete with a handy user interface, the indexing service will also give developers an expanded toolset for managing peaq IDs on their DePIN.

Staex will also integrate peaq with ist Mesh Communication Component, or MCC. The MCC is protocol enabling devices on a decentralized network to communicate with one another, from anywhere to anywhere. It provides two core functions, enabling service providers to register their services in the network and allowing others to use these services. Its integration with peaq will leverage peaq access, peaq’s role-based access control function, which enables builders to set rules for interactions within the network. The MCC integration will include an interface and a demo application. 

The collaboration grants the DePIN building on peaq a versatile connectivity layer, making it easier for builders and the community to connect and manage entire machine fleets. It enables DePIN on peaq to scale faster, creating more value for the ecosystem, and expands peaq’s DePIN-focused capabilities.

“Decentralized networking is a crucial piece of the puzzle for making DePIN truly, end-to-end decentralized,” says Dr. Alexandra Mikityuk, CEO at Staex. “We are happy to provide the DePIN on peaq with a tool enabling them to manage their data and machines in a peer-to-peer way, unlocking greater security and scalability.”

“The capabilities Staex brings to the table will enable DePIN on peaq to build, deploy, and grow faster,” says Till Wendler, co-founder of peaq. “It is another crucial advantage that comes with building on peaq, the home of DePIN. We are thrilled to see Staex joining in and are sure that it will help boost the ecosystem to new heights.”

About peaq  

peaq is the blockchain for real-world applications. The peaq layer-1 blockchain enables anyone to build decentralized applications (dApps) and Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs) for car-sharing, street-mapping, Web access, and more, creating real-world value as part of the Economy of Things. On peaq, robots, vehicles, and other connected devices turn into dynamic real-world assets (RWAs) serving communities through fractional ownership. peaq works with industry-leading consortia such as Gaia-x moveID, a €20+ million project led by Bosch, to co-create the future of smart mobility, energy, connectivity, and other important real-world industries. By empowering everyone to own, govern, and earn from the devices and infrastructure they use, peaq is democratizing abundance in the age of AI-driven automation.

About Staex

Staex is a secure public network for IoT devices that can not run a VPN such as smart meters, IP cameras, and EV chargers. Staex encrypts legacy protocols, reduces mobile data usage, and simplifies building networks with complex topologies through its unique multi-hop architecture. Staex is fully zero-trust meaning that no traffic is allowed unless specified by the device owner which makes it more secure than even some private networks. With this, Staex creates an additional separation layer to provide more security for IoT devices on the Internet, also protecting other Internet services from DDoS attacks that are usually executed on millions of IoT machines.
