World’s Largest Metaverse Builder Community SandStorm Launches Build Proposals for Brands

Published

on

Tampa, United States, 1st August, 2022, Chainwire

Leading metaverse builder community SandStorm has released its highly anticipated “proposal and bid” platform. This metaverse construction market pairs brands with builders from top virtual worlds including Decentraland and The Sandbox, allowing brands to deploy assets and experiences on demand. Its decentralized approach aggregates the best builders to provide unparalleled quality and cost savings to brands pioneering the metaverse.

Similar to on-demand marketplaces like HomeAdvisor and Upwork, SandStorm has already become a hub for thousands of the world’s best metaverse builders to find work. By connecting brands, individual builders, and full development studios of all sizes, SandStorm provides an innovative solution to how legacy brands like Walmart, Panera, and McDonald’s will enter the open metaverse.

SandStorm CEO Steve McGarry said: “Physical location for work has become much less important for many of us over the last two years. At SandStorm, we believe the future of work will be primarily driven by an individual’s skills and their ability to work on a team within the metaverse. As we move into a more digital society, asset creation skills for multiple virtual worlds showcased on a SandStorm profile will level the playing field for finding work.”

The SandStorm platform highlights builders based on Skills, Availability, Communication, Quality, Deadlines, and Team Cooperation. It can be analogized to building a dream home in the physical world, but instead of hiring one local real estate development firm, choosing the best architect in Korea, the best roofer in London, and the best electrician in Canada. Operating in the virtual world, brands can select contractors based on their portfolio of previous work.

Brands can submit a proposal to create an experience in The Sandbox, Decentraland, and soon five additional virtual worlds. Individual builders and development studios from all over the world then place bids using their SandStorm profile. Brands can then select their desired team with the guidance of SandStorm. Once the build is complete, a Transaction NFT (TNFT) is sent to all the involved builder profiles. This allows builders to share their role in the project and promotes the brand’s build to their followers. Brand partners and builders review one another after the build is complete to ensure that all parties have the highest quality experiences.

SandStorm CBO Matt Saricicek said: “SandStorm aims to lower the barrier to entry for brands as the minimum budget to submit a proposal is $1,000 USD for a small group of assets. Once these proposals are approved, they go live in front of over 2,000 verified builders to submit bids on projects of all sizes.

“This is only the tip of the iceberg; there are countless other intelligent and creative individuals all over the world who are unaware of web3 and who will eventually multiply the present community and experiences on web3 by a factor of a thousand. The work of these incredible artists excites us, and we are thrilled to be contributing to this movement.”

JP Morgan has projected the metaverse will be an $8 trillion market by 2030 and there is a massive need for builders and creators to generate content inside all virtual experiences. As SandStorm continues to organize the open metaverse construction market with an enormous amount of pricing data, builder education will play a vital role.

By offering weekly interviews, workshops, and tutorials live streamed directly from their platform, SandStorm welcomes an average of 25 new builders into the space every day. As an on-ramp for eager new builders, SandStorm expects growth to be between 130 to 170 new builders per day by mid-2023.

“We believe that the key to unlocking the potential of future generations is to establish an open platform where anyone can ‘build’ their own destiny by being a creator in the metaverse,” said SandStorm COO Evan Stafford.

Web3 Builders Look to Alternate Growth Model with BNB Chain as Bear Market Funding Drops by 84%

Published

on

DUBAI, UAE, November 23rd, 2023, Chainwire

BNB Chain, the community-driven blockchain ecosystem that includes the world’s largest smart contract blockchain, is highlighting the compelling growth stories of the projects that emerge from its project development program, starting with its hackathons. This comes in the wake of BNB Chain’s Istanbul Hackathon, which saw the emergence of a number of strong projects.

The focus of the bear market is building quality Web3 projects – this is a time for developers to concentrate on identifying what real use cases need solving. However, quarterly funding for Web3 startups has dropped by approximately 84% this year. Against this backdrop, thousands of founders have looked to alternate ways to develop their projects to the point of launch readiness.

By providing constant guidance, in addition to routinely incentivising innovation with its global hackathons, BNB Chain mentors these projects through the various stages of their development journeys as they strive to realize the immense potential of Web3. 

Below are the steps that projects can expect to partner with BNB Chain on as they work to realize their vision:

  1. Ideate and develop a killer idea at a BNB Chain hackathon
  2. Win a reward at the hackathon that allows for initial development
  3. Develop further with constant guidance from BNB Chain
  4. Get introduced to incubators who can supercharge your project
  5. Launch your project on-chain 

BNB Chain Hackathon winners also receive referral codes to apply to the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) to potentially increase their funding. The program – run by BNB Chain and Binance Labs – helps projects develop and grow through mentorship, funding and network support*.

BNB Chain’s recent Istanbul Hackathon saw a number of exciting projects start on this journey, with a number of the winners sharing how they plan to utilize their winnings to advance their projects. 

MoveSpace, an on-chain data labeling and marketplace powered by a vector database, is addressing the data transparency issue in AI training to incentivise human interactions with data with BNB Greenfield. Using the funds they won at the BNB Chain Hackathon, they are further refining their concept – making data tradable as a regular commodity or asset – to make data ownership meaningful, setting them up for success at their first round of fundraising.

Another winning project exemplifying the practical applications of blockchain technology is ZeroX, a Web3 Gaming platform with a core mission of onboarding users to Web3 through gaming. Offering SDK and API services for traditional game development, they are lowering the barriers for traditional game developers and gamers to enter Web3. They will allocate the funds they won at the Istanbul hackathon to accelerate their growth and incorporate BNB Greenfield into their product, putting them in a leading position for their first funding round and upcoming public product launch. 

Learn more about all of the winning projects, their experiences of BNB Chain Hackathon Istanbul and how it is accelerating their growth here.

Tomasz Wojewoda, Head of Business Development at BNB Chain, said: “The quality of the projects that emerged from the BNB Chain Istanbul Hackathon was truly remarkable. It has been great to see their Web3 spirit on full display and to see how they are leveraging opBNB and BNB Greenfield to accelerate their development. Myself and the BNB Chain team look forward to being by the developers’ sides and providing guidance as they continue to build towards realizing their vision.”

*Disclaimer: There is no guarantee that projects will be accepted to the MVB program.

BNB Chain Sees 1-year Transaction High; Demonstrates Network Reliability After BSC Surge

Published

on

DUBAI, UAE, November 22nd, 2023, Chainwire

  • November 19 saw BSC record more than 9.5M transactions in a single day
  • Earlier in the week, BSC demonstrated gas price stability during a similar surge

On November 19, 2023, BNB Chain, the community-driven blockchain ecosystem, saw its highest traffic rates since May of 2022 with transactions exceeding 9.5M for the day. More than 7M of the 9.5M daily transactions were attributed to inscription minting transactions on BNB Smart Chain (BSC).

The 1-year high comes amid a week of traffic surges on BSC. November 17 likewise saw a spike in traffic, with gas prices on BSC remaining consistent during the surge. On November 17, with TPS (transactions per second) reaching almost 250 at the peak, gas prices remained consistent at the $0.016 threshold.

While TPS rose to almost 250 on Nov. 17, gas prices on BSC remained steady at $0.016.

BSC’s very large block size is what allows it to handle spikes in traffic smoothly while maintaining a stable gas price. With TPS at around 200, the usage of the block is only at around 15-20%, meaning that the network still has plenty of space left to handle further traffic.

Mining Contracts From $10: How To Invest And Earn Passive Income With Mining

Published

on

By

m

As more players enter the cryptocurrency market, mining becomes more complex and requires more computing power. As a result, many people who previously used their own equipment for cryptocurrency mining now find it unsustainable: high electricity bills and wear and tear on the equipment. Therefore, cloud mining is becoming an increasingly attractive option.

In the partner material, we go into more detail about its features and how it will help increase passive income.

What is cloud mining

Cloud mining is a mechanism that uses leased cloud computing power to mine cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. Hardware setup and startup, no software installation required.

Cloud mining companies make mining even more affordable by allowing you to open an account and participate in cryptocurrency mining remotely at rock-bottom prices. Since mining takes place in the cloud, there are fewer issues with equipment maintenance or direct electricity costs.

How to start cloud mining

Here are the basic steps you need to take before getting started.

Step 1: Choose a Cloud Mining Provider

CGMD Miner is a popular and powerful cryptocurrency mining platform and an excellent resource for passive income. CGMD Miner is a free Bitcoin mining program that allows you to passively earn Bitcoins without any strings attached, regardless of technical knowledge or financial resources. Once $12 worth of Bitcoins are mined, they can be transferred to your account and traded. Any profits are yours and you can withdraw them to your personal wallet.

Platform advantages:

Get $10 immediately after registration;

High levels of profitability and daily payout;

No additional services or administrative fees required;

Other currencies can be generated;

The company’s Partner Program allows you to invite friends and earn up to $3,000 in referral bonuses;

McAfee security? Cloudflare® security protection;

24/7 technical support.

Step 2. Register an account

Go to the provider of your choice and sign up to create a new account.

CGMD Miner offers a simple registration process: all you need to do is enter your email address. After signing up, you can start mining Bitcoin immediately.

Step 3. Purchase a Mining Contract

Miner CGMD offers a variety of mining contract options: packages ranging from US$100 to US$5,000, each package has its own return on investment and a certain contract validity period. Right now:

The day after the contract is purchased, the revenue starts flowing in. When $100 is reached, the money can be withdrawn to a crypto wallet or continue to purchase other contracts.

Step 4: Earn passive income

Cloud mining is a great way to increase your passive income. Cryptocurrency capital can be grown via “autopilot” mode with minimal time outlay – less than any type of active trading. Passive income is the goal of every investor and trader, and with CGMD miners, achieving it is easier than ever.

CGMD Partner Program

Miner CGMD also offers an affiliate program, a platform that allows you to earn money by recommending the site to others. You can make money even without investing. A fixed one-time bonus of up to $3,000 will be charged for inviting positive referrals.
