The studio launched a variety of 2D and 3D RPG games with great success in the past. Now, the team has their eyes set on a bigger goal, bringing the play-to-earn gaming model to the market. The play-to-earn concept is simple. Players have the chance to earn rewards that can be converted to real-world assets. This business model incentivizes users to play more and unlocks all the effort, funding, and time put into gaming titles. 

GameFi

GameFi is the merger of gaming and finance. In the past, this merger consisted of MMRPG's (massive multiplayer role-playing games) originally as many now have working economies. These games have long offered fiat auction houses to let players unlock value. However, these centralized systems were slow and the players had no real way to verify the scarcity of the items they were purchasing.

The randomness of some NFT-based games can make it difficult to predict your income. Since NFTs are unique digital assets, their value is determined slightly differently than normal cryptocurrencies. 

Rather than reviewing the assets market cap, NFT's value comes from their capabilities, scarcity, and their personal connection with the collector. The more you play and the better your chances of securing major wins.

What Makes DarkShield Different

DarkShield is different than other gaming studios in a couple of days. For one, the studio only works with play to earn blockchain games. As such, the developers can direct 100% of their focus on making these titles as fun and profitable as possible. Additionally, DarkShield operates on a multi-chain infrastructure which helps to reduce the cost of playing and opens up the ecosystem for more players. 

DarkShield leverages the power of the Binance Smart Chain. The BSC is a fourth-generation blockchain that supports full DeFi capabilities including staking, farming, and lending. This multi-purpose digital asset can be used to send value, pay fees, staking, and as an in-game currency across multiple titles.

The DarkShield Marketplace

Users can collect valuable in-game assets in the form of cryptocurrencies and NFTs when they play DarkShield games. Once you have some treasure, you can head over to the marketplace to convert your winnings into other popular cryptocurrencies or digital assets. The DarkShield marketplace operates as a non-custodial peer-to-peer market for all digital assets acquired within the studio's titles. 

DarkShield Studios believes that blockchain gaming can be so much more. The team wants to bring AAA-level quality gaming to the sector with cross-chain capabilities. Users will be able to sell and trade valuable NFTs they earned through gameplay. Additionally, the system will support NFT lending.

P2P Lending

Peer-to-peer lending systems leverage large smart contracts called lending pools to provide a more democratic and open process. Unlike your local bank branch, there are no gatekeepers on these loans. Your approval is strictly based on your collateral. As such, it's a more transparent and just process that doesn't require you to jump through unnecessary hoops to access funding. 

About DarkShield

DarkShield has the business model and technology to provide users with a more robust and fruitful experience. The developers have been hard at work researching the best features to add to their titles. Now they are ready to begin releasing these next-gen titles to the public. For now, the group has just released a working demo of their first game, Zygut. Like all DarkShield games, you can earn some serious cryptocurrency playing and having fun.

As a gamer myself, I spend a lot of time (too much probably) imagining what the future of gaming will look like. I do have to admit that I have been very disappointed in the slower than expected advancement of gaming technology over the past 20 or so years. I remember playing Super Mario 64 […]

Mint Gold Dust (https://www.mintgolddust.com/), a digital ecosystem for connecting creators and providing provenance through smart contracts, announced today that it will “hack” Miami Art Week with augmented reality by creating a GPS scavenger hunt for NFTs. In partnership with Illust Space, Mint Gold Dust will be geo-dropping NFTs from their marketplace throughout Miami, allowing fair-goers to follow a map and use their phones to reveal the works hiding in plain sight. 

They plan to drop NFTs outside of Art Basel, SCOPE Miami Beach, Untitled, Art Miami, and at the Wynwood Walls, making a statement on the validity of digital art and NFTs, an underrepresented genre at Miami Art Week, despite its overwhelming success the past year. The pieces will be visible via Illust Space's online app, https://ar.illust.space. Discovery maps were released Tuesday, November 30th on Mint Gold Dust's Twitter and Discord, and will be visible December 1st through December 5th. 

Artists in the drop include Hackato, Svccy, Gisel Florez, Bard Ionson, and more. 

“Mint Gold Dust is not just a platform, but an ecosystem that functions to support artists and collectors. With the artists and collectors, plus the industries we have invested in and partnered with, Mint Gold Dust is a self-sustaining economy,” said Kelly LeValley Hunt, Founder and CEO of Mint Gold Dust. “Miami Art Week attracts artists and collectors from around the world. By ‘hacking' art fairs around the city, we are securing NFTs & Digital Arts for now and the future.”

This year's Miami Art Week is slated to return in a big way after 2020's fairs were called off due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Fairs and events will be taking place around Miami and Miami Beach all week to celebrate the return of in-person art events. 

Also, a part of the drop is $WHALE x BREEZY, an NFT curation of rare NFTs from $WHALE's famed collection, The Vault. Curatorial team BREEZY will be working with Decryptolorian, $WHALE's Head of Art, and Illust Space to geodrop over 20 works from the collection, giving people access to view this legendary collection in a unique and personal way. 

"The $WHALE Vault has been deemed by many as one of the most historically and commercially significant collections of digital art in the world,” said Whaleshark. “It's our pleasure to share the beauty of our collection with you as they come from the pioneers of a new digital era, empowered by true provenance and scarcity of blockchain tokenization."

Breezy founder and Vault curator Eleonora Brizi added, “When I heard about what Illust Space was doing through Mint Gold Dust, everything clicked into place. They have one of the best AR tools I've seen, so it was the perfect fit to bring light to these pieces and stories from the Vault that I want to share with the world. We're bringing the art directly to people, changing the shape of a city, and bringing people and physical experiences together through a digital medium. This is why I'm excited to be curating this collection and presenting artists like Hackatao, Pak, Giant Swan, Brendan Dawes, and more. Through AR, we are making this art more accessible for everyone by sharing it with the world.”

Mint Gold Dust is a curated NFT platform and ecosystem focused on highlighting artist and collector voice while promoting quality over quantity. The unique platform offers an always-on, 24/7 artist marketplace, a creative studio for NFT creators, and managed service Whitelabel solutions for digital and physical NFTs.

AjeVerse announces plans for the first African Metaverse project release enabling users to create and trade NFTs on the platform's proprietary NFT marketplace.

Additionally, AjeVerse will launch a unique charity program to donate 5% of its total token supply to police brutality victims.

AJE is a decentralized metaverse operating on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Its goal is to allow users to explore and trade in Africa's first-ever virtual space. There, participants can use the platform's native token, $AJE, to create, trade, and transfer NFTs.

This project seeks to fill the gap between the centralized, physical world and the virtual, open-source space. In this regard, it will use cryptographic protocols to manage the digital value of real-world assets on the blockchain.

The native utility token $AJE will act as the connective medium and means of accessing the AJE Metaverse. Also, it will provide AJE holders with voting rights on the platform. Therefore, the metaverse will become a member-governed decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

Lastly, AJE will donate 5% of its total token supply to a charity fund that the community holders will manage. Through it, victims of police brutality in Nigeria will receive helpful resources to improve their situations.

Alternatively, the fund will also donate to female victims in war-torn countries such as Sudan, Iraq, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, Kosovo, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The 5% allocation will be vested and released monthly for 3 years to support various communities within the beneficiary demographics.

The project's whitelisting process has started on December 1st, 2021.

About AjeVerse

AjeVerse is an African community-driven meme token that plans to lead Africa's metaverse and NFT revolution. Its mission is to create a well-organized community with self-governance and vesting powers to bridge the virtual and physical worlds.

NFT platform and curated marketplace ArtGrails (https://www.artgrails.com/), today announced that Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's notorious “fixer” and author of the New York Times #1 bestseller “Disloyal: A Memoir”, will display and auction the first page of his memoir backed by a non-fungible token (NFT) containing a video of Cohen writing the page at Miami Art Week this week. The ArtGrails NFT exhibition will run from December 1 through December 12. 

The successful bidder will receive the original manuscript, which was handwritten by Cohen while serving the first days of his federal sentence in New York's Otisville Prison, as well as a never before seen NFT-backed video of Cohen working on the memoir's first pages from his holding cell. The video, recorded by an unnamed colleague, was filmed just before the former Trump attorney was sent back to his luxury Park Avenue apartment to serve the rest of his term.

Bidding will begin on December 1 at 5 PM Eastern Time and will go on till December 12, 5 PM Eastern Time; the auction is accessible via www.artgrails.com. In addition to the manuscript, ArtGrails is releasing a set of fixed price Cohen's prison badge in an NFT Edition release on December 12 at 4 PM Eastern Time, which will feature three different levels of rarity - Open, Gold and Grail. 

ArtGrails is a curated NFT experience, and as such, we are working with some of the highest caliber creators and artists in the market today.”  Says ArtGrails.com founder, Avery Andon. “When Michael [Cohen] came to me after deciding to release his manuscript and federal prison badge, I knew this had to be a project facilitated by our platform. Integrating an NFT into the release of these one of a kind physical items, not only validates them using blockchain technology, but it also gave us the ability to incorporate some creativity into the release.” 

In addition to the NFT-backed physical manuscript page, written on Cohen's personal letterhead, and his actual Prison Badge from Otisville Federal Prison, the team at ArtGrails is making available limited release NFT versions of Cohen's Otisville Federal Prison badge.  These NFTs will be released in three different levels of rarity, “open”, “gold”, and “grail”. 

ArtGrails will host a VIP party and Q&A media event in Miami's design district on Friday December 3rd; the event will feature a live video appearance by MIchael Cohen who will read from his manuscript and also take limited questions from event attendees and media.

Mainland Chinese Truck Market Continues to Deteriorate, Supply Constraints Add to Production Woes

The policy-induced pre-loaded consumption has given mainland Chinese medium- and heavy-duty truck (MHDT) market a chill since July, with production cutting by nearly 60% as compared with the same period of last year. The current supply chain constraints caused by semi-conductor and power shortages will weigh on production activities into 2022. In our November 2021 forecast, we expect the mainland Chinese MHDT production to further loose around 25,000 units for the second half of 2021 and 15,000 units for the first quarter of the next year.

High inventories of China 5-level trucks remain the biggest dragger

Owing to the OEMs' price competition, the pre-buy activity in preparation for the China 6 emission rules were greatly amplified, resulting in an over-storage of China 5-level trucks across dealer channels in the first half of 2021. By the end of October, nationwide MHDT inventories are calculated at 260,000 units, still way higher than the typical rates of 150,000-170,000 units. Roughly two thirds of inventories are China 5-level trucks, despite a closure of registrations in major markets such as Hebei, Shaanxi, and Shandong. A part of the unsaleable trucks has flowed into the second-hand market with price depreciating up to 50%. Such price differential, coupled with common concerns over increasing usage cost, makes China-6 level trucks even less favorable. Although the final chance to register a China 5-level truck is set on December 31, 2021 in some regions, the high inventory pressure will likely deepen into early 2022 before the full clearance of new China 5-level trucks in the market.

Semiconductor shortage gets worse but under control

The global automotive semiconductor shortage has worsened by the pandemic resurgence in Malaysia and Vietnam since the summer months. To minimize losses under the tighter resources, some OEMs have prioritized production to bestselling models or new models that need to be pushed to the market, while some OEMs have placed orders of key accounts the first in line. Moreover, there have been cases of pausing acceptance of advanced orders because of the uncertainty about final deliveries. As a result, the average lead time of new trucks in most manufacturers are extended from one week to above four weeks. The sophisticated premium models that account for less than 10% market share suffered the most, with production line rates almost halved for several brands. We expect the semiconductor supply chain to stay gloomy for the coming months, but its impacts on the MHDT production should be manageable under sluggish sales of China 6-level trucks.

Power shortage risk may persist in the medium term

The coal supply disruption stemming from the mainland Chinese government's energy consumption control has triggered a severe power crunch across the nation, with more than 20 provinces experiencing different degrees of load shedding measures since mid-2021. Except for three northeastern provinces - Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang where the residential sector is affected, most provinces have kept power rationing measures within energy-intensive industries. Some energy-intensive industries such as aluminum, electronics, and steel are ordered to curtail capacity by 20-30% in the second half to meet carbon reduction commitments, posing more hurdles to automotive supply chain and industrial freight transport. On one hand, the softening demand for China 6-level trucks has hindered truck makers to pass the inflating producer cost on to retail prices. On the other hand, the continued downswing in industrial output will undermine the road freight recovery. Although the government has fine-tuned policies to ramp up coal production and reined in coal and power prices, an upturn is not likely to emerge until the second quarter of 2022 when the winter heating season ends. Given the government's anti-pollution ambitions, the supply disruption risks may sustain for quite a while.

With de-stocking of China 5-level new trucks, we predict MHDT inventories to rebuild from the third quarter of 2022, supporting some improvements in production. However, the expected slowing economy as well as economic reform measures including property deleveraging, financial de-risking, and industrial decarbonization will continue to act as a drag from the demand side. The recently released State Council's guideline on antipollution campaigns which highlight a nationwide elimination of China 1-3-level trucks by 2025 may bring a turn to the market, while its practical enforcement and impacts remain uncertain before the issuance of more specific measures.

Accursed Share (https://accursedshare.art/), a production studio leveraging smart contract technology to push the boundaries of cryptoart, today announced the first NFT collection by photographer Frederic Auerbach. The collection provides an in-depth look at the methodology and process of Auerbach, a world-class fashion photographer known for his work with magazines and brands including GQ, Vogue, Hermès, and more.  The multi-part NFT drop will give exclusive insight into the artists' process and highlights Auerbach's work with five of Hollywood's most notable celebrities as well as 30 never-before-seen ‘process' photos culled from the working sessions with the stars.  

The NFT collection, “Captured Moment: The Master's Process,” is accompanied by exclusive video interviews with the photographer and insight into his inspiration, planning, setup, and in-studio process. The series details Auerbach's work with charismatic ‘triple-threat' and star of HBO's ‘Euphoria', Zendaya, as well as boxing heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and established Hollywood actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Natalie Portman, and Sharon Stone, 

One work featuring each of the celebrity subjects, deemed ‘The Master Series', will become available via auction in mid-December, but auction winners not only receive a high-resolution NFT version of the published work, but each Master Series set will also include a separate dynamic NFT. This NFT is powered by Accursed Share's proprietary technology - an internal ‘smart contract' innovation that is designed to randomly display an alternate edit of the final masterwork every few hours. Master Series auction winners will also receive a high-resolution autographed print of the photograph as well as a video NFT featuring an interview and ‘process commentary' with Auerbach. 

“We wanted to give fans, collectors, and students of Auerbach's work an internal view of his process and inspiration; we wanted to create a set of NFTs that really spoke to collectors and had engaging and intrinsic value.” Accursed Share CEO, John Connor, says of the project. The team's choice to highlight Auerbach was an intentional one, “Auerbach's ability to capture the charisma and character of his subjects is unique in the world of photography, and his uncanny ability to ‘summon the ineffable' in his images is very real. This is something that seems to be missing from the current popular perception of NFTs, and we hope that this project -and other subsequent Accursed Share NFT projects- will provide a renewed focus on high-quality NFT content and continue to push the boundaries of the medium.”

Connor references the fact that many ‘cryptoart' platforms and marketplaces treat NFTs as an almost utilitarian tool designed to simply transfer and monetize the display and ownership of exclusive art and digital images. However, he and his team are taking an in-depth look at how ‘non-fungible tech' can be used by creatives. Auerbach and the Accursed Share team worked together to create an outlet for alternate edits to the primary ‘Master Work' NFT Photos, and the rotating image NFT was a mutually-conceived idea meant to blend innovative technology and artistic vision.

In addition to the limited release Master Series (five 1:1 ‘sets'), Accursed Share is releasing “The Process Series” as an initial, more obtainable NFT drop that will be made available to fans and collectors who participate in the studio's whitelist referral program. This set of 1700 NFTs will be made up of six process photos of each of the five celebrity subjects. Totaling thirty unique images in all, these unseen selections from Auerbach's studio process will be released with varying levels of rarity - with the rarest image being limited to only 5 of the total 1700. The team is also airdropping a large number of these NFTs for free to early whitelist subscribers.

All collectors holding a Process Series NFT will be able to participate in the Master Series auction, and all ‘Process' NFT holders will be able to join Auerbach's upcoming NFT+photography Discord group.  All ‘Captured Moment' NFT holders will be invited into the Discord environment where the photographer and Accursed Share hope to foster an online community to like-minded collectors interested in photography, NFTs, and the intersection between the two mediums.  

Captured Moment's first selections from the ‘Process Series' will become available on December 5th, at which point early whitelist submissions will receive free airdrops of the first round; the remaining Captured Moments Process Series NFTs will roll out throughout the following week and will cost 0.05 ETH to mint. 

All 5 Master Series auctions will go live on December 17 and will have a starting price of 3.0 ETH; all bidding participants must hold a Process Series NFT.  In addition, one Master Series auction winner will be randomly selected to receive a private photoshoot with Frederic Auerbach in his Los Angeles Studio, a session valued at over $12,000.

These pools arrive at a critical moment for DYP, which analysts predict will surge by orders of magnitude in the weeks to come. 

DYP's New Pools

According to a company statement, the Buyback pool will allow users to deposit various cryptos or tokens to begin earning. These include WBNB, BTCB, ETH, BUSD, or CAKE.

Upon deposit, assets are converted into a mix of DYP and iDYP tokens and placed into a staking contract. Users can then earn 30% to 100% APR, depending on how long they choose to lock up their tokens. All rewards are then distributed in DYP upon withdrawal.

Farming will provide another method for users to profit from their WBNB, ETH, or BUSD holdings. After depositing one of the platform's supported assets, users can start earning WBNB, ETH, and DYP as their rewards.

To protect from iDYP's price volatility, all pool rewards are automatically converted into WBNB. However, liquidity providers may also choose to be rewarded in ETH. Upon withdrawal, a user's funds will be 75% returned in the original deposit asset, and 25% returned in DYP.

Finally, staking lets DYP holders earn up to 50% APR with no impermanent loss. Like the buyback pool, the yield rate depends on how long users choose to lock up their holdings. It includes an integrated “reinvest” function, automatically distributing rewards back into the staking pool to compound one's earnings. 

The staking pool also features a referral program, which will grant 5% of the referred party's staked earnings back to the person who referred to the Defi Yield Protocol. This gives users the chance to profit from helping market Defi Yield Protocol to friends and family, at no gas fee.

Altogether, the buyback, farming, and staking pools accrued over $40 million in deposits within a week after launch. As a reward, DYP paid 15,867 AVAX, 7,997 BNB, and 9,032 ETH to its respective, amounting to $44,149,334 worth of tokens at the time, With such lucrative payouts, its clear to see why users – and analysts – would be bullish about the platform.

DYP Ready to Pump, According to Analysts

CryptoBusy and Crypto Hustle – cryptocurrency traders and YouTubers – released a collaborative analysis video earlier this month. They offered their predictions for which altcoins would see the greatest returns during this bull cycle. Trading for about $0.72 at the time, Busy said that DYP was “potentially a 100x altcoin or higher”.

“Great team, great whitepaper, great roadmap, and great technology behind this as well,” said the Youtuber. 

Busy called attention to DYP's anti-manipulation mechanism – which protects against the volatility of platform-native tokens used for rewards, such as BNB and AVAX – among other unique features.

Shortly afterward, DYP was deemed a “gem” investment pick by fellow trader CryptoRevolution, in his mid-November video titled “parabolic altcoin picks”. After investing in early November, the Youtuber personally saw 70% gains in DYP after only ten days.

Revolution anticipated that DYP would reach $1.28, or even $1.56 – over double its current market price. This is due to the large number of updates set to launch on Defi Yield Protocol in the weeks to come, which inspires the YouTuber's confidence in its future success. Besides an upcoming NFTs marketplace, DYP will also introduce NFT dapps, and specialized staking pools on Avalanche and Ethereum, equivalent to their new pools on BSC.

What is Defi Yield Protocol?

Defi Yield Protocol (DYP) is a multi-purpose platform for staking, yield farming, NFTs, and various trading solutions. 

Uniquely, DYP is the first Defi platform to reward users in Ether. It also features anti-manipulation protection that protects the rewarding stability for those being rewarded in not-so-stable platform native tokens, such as iDYP.

The platform primarily functions as a decentralized tool dashboard. It includes decentralized scores, trust vote systems, and yield farm data to help investors make informed decisions.

The protocol is set to release numerous features in the future, including staking, farming, and buyback pools on Avalanche and Ethereum.

The concept of the Brute Force Fight gaming network is to allow players to mine resources and conquer other planets. When conquering, the teams will attack, set base, and fight other bases. Once you and your friend (federation) conquer a planet, you can continue mining.

Aside from conquering, you can also get into trade activities with other federations, bases, and nations. More so, since this is an interplanetary game, you can search for contacts with other races.

The $BFORCE Token

To power the entire network, Brute Force Fight introduced a native token, $BFORCE. $BFORCE is a BEP20 token that will help in different services within this ecosystem. Among the services include payment and exchanges.

According to their documents, they have a maximum supply of 10 million $BFORCE tokens. However, in the coming presale, they cap a total supply of 10 million tokens. The network distributes the tokens as follows;

• 50%, 5 million go to the community during the ICO

• 4 million tokens, 40% go to 3 Month lock for Game NFTs Marketplace

• 0.5 million tokens, 5% will be released through vesting, 1% per week for marketing 

• 2% will help in marketing works.

• 2% for game development

• 1% for private sale airdrop

Other Features

Audit and KYC

Brute Force Fight had Solidproof audit their smart contracts to secure the player's and investors' funds. The idea of auditing contracts is to ensure they are not vulnerable to external or internal attacks. Auditors often check the code to ensure it's correct and has no errors. Hence, the contract will not be a threat to the gamers in this network.

Aside from the audit, Solidproof conducted a KYC scanning of the Brute Force Fight team. KYC, Know your customer, basically involves looking deep into the people around the project. In this case, the persons who are given a more profound look are the team members. The intention is to see whether the team members have any money fraud issues.

However, the audit and KYC report will be released once Solidproof is through with the process. The report will be available via the website and social media pages.

The BSC Base

The Brute Force Fight gaming network took its base in the Binance smart chain. But why? Ethereum, which provides smart contract support, is currently facing tons of issues, including lacking scalability.

However, BSC was developed to be the alternative for Ethereum. Hence it's scalable and has high speeds. The Brute Force Fight will therefore have an easy time expanding and serving more gamers globally. This gaming network is consequently looking into its future.

NFTs Shopping

The Brute Force Fight network also introduced an NFTs shopping in-game market. Users of this market will leverage $BFORCE native coin to buy and sell NFTs.

According to them, this online in-game marketplace will be available to gamers and everyone else.

Accordingly, the network will be airdropping NFTs to players. The trading platform will enable players to exchange the NFTs with $BFORCE tokens.

The Brute Force Fight team is made up of several people, all majoring in different fields. Among the tasks worked on by the team include, 

• Software Engineers
