The next time a skeptic questions the momentum of the blockchain gaming market, kindly inform them that the industry had attracted over 1.5 million users by the end of 2021, with daily trade volume from gaming dApps climbing as high as half a billion dollars. Then cackle with satisfaction. The breathless rush by gamers, developers and investors into the gamefi (gaming finance) space was triggered by the potential for profit via play-to-earn (P2E) mechanics, but also by the opportunities for rich gameplay thanks to the deployment of blockchain and NFTs (non-fungible tokens). To date, most blockchain games have offered up simple 2D worlds based around turn-based mechanics, focusing on earning potential rather than fast-paced gameplay. But thankfully, that is starting to change… Epic War, Entrancing Gameplay Epic War is the first blockchain-based FPS (first-person shooter) that provides Triple-A graphics and gameplay in delivery of its virtual reality (VR), free-play-to-earn (F2P2E) metaverse. Interestingly, the fully 3D blockchain shooter is just one part of the envisaged Epic War universe, which will expand to include a series of comic books and films. The gaming narrative sees players take part in battle royales where they must contend with other gamers as well as hostile NPC creatures on a treacherous foreign planet. Other notable elements include team battles featuring up to 16 players (8v8) in a single session. Boss battles test players’ abilities even further, and come in three different difficulty levels: normal, hard, and super hardcore. The native token of Epic War ($EWAR) is used to create new in-game characters, weapons, gears, battle maps and purchase NFT items. It can also be used for governance purposes, giving holders decision-making privileges on the future of the project. EWAR tokens are awarded to players and teams who triumph in battles, and these tokens can subsequently be used to improve the attributes of player-characters or sold to the highest bidder on exchanges. Both winning and losing players will have the ability to earn unique NFTs after each session, with tokens representing in-game items like weapons, gears and maps. Such artefacts can be sold, traded or rented to other players for profit, and they are also dispensed upon the completion of challenging in-game quests. Epic War’s game engine was built from the ground up using C++ code, and leverages the acclaimed Unity Engine as the technical foundation of its gameworld. The Unity Engine is employed by many mainstream, Triple-A game publishers, and has been used in such releases as Escape From Tarkov, Cuphead, Wasteland 3, Subnautica, and many more. Future Milestones The team behind Epic War hails from Vietnam, where they have years of collective experience in game design, blockchain development and full-stack coding. They also partner with Japanese studios to develop Open World gameplay and VR metaverse phase. By mid Q2 2022, the team aims to release a beta version of the PvE and PvP game modes, alongside its DAO governance system, where players will be able to have a say in future development decisions. The IGO (initial game offering) for the native EWAR token will also take place before the end of Q2. Ongoing roadmap milestones portend a full game release and multi-chain integration by the end of Q3. Multiple blockchain ecosystems will play host to Epic War when it is complete, including Binance Smart Chain, Solana, Polygon, and NEAR, in an effort to give players the maximum number of benefits offered up by various networks (speed, low fees, access to native stablecoins, etc). Gamers can also look forward to Epic War’s Beta Test launch coming this March. The long-term goals of Epic War include integrating VR support and building out an expansive metaverse world where players can interact with the game in a virtual 3D space. Epic War builds on the promise of gamefi by extending blockchain gaming to the level mainstream gamers expect, while integrating crypto and NFT rewards for the benefit of successful players.

March 9, 2022, 8:00 am ET Starter.xyz (https://starter.xyz), the leading IDO launchpad, incubator and investor network, which has raised over $40 million in seed, private and public rounds for 50+ projects across multiple blockchains, is celebrating its first anniversary. Starter.xyz is natively deployed on multiple top blockchain platforms: BSC/Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Ethereum, Avalanche, Fantom.
 

Since its inception, Starter has had rocket development, taking first place as the go-to IDO launchpad after just one year and making it a milestone enabler for countless DeFi projects. As such, it's a key resource for both investors and startups. Key innovations it has introduced at record speed: Vetting, Investor Protection and Interoperability.

Within less than one year of its launch, Starter was named the leading IDO launchpad by ROI in Q4 of 2021 by CryptoRank, creating more than 50 times growth for its launch projects at their high point (53.3x ATH). How does a startup achieve that kind of result so fast? 

Starter's COO, Suvi Rinkinen, observed: “As a launchpad conceived to enable the widespread growth of DeFi, Starter was designed to ensure trust and provide quality for investors. This explains the rapid success that it has enjoyed early on.”

Blockchain has faced three main challenges which Starter has successfully solved with its innovations. These are:

1. Identifying the legitimate, high-potential projects in an ever-growing pool of countless startups. 

2. Protecting investors from scams. 

3. Providing enterprise-grade, scalable technology and interoperability. 

As a safeguard, all projects that conduct IDOs on Starter are curated and vetted by the community, ensuring objectivity and using systematic criteria to assess their quality. The vetting looks at all relevant project activities – assessing tokenomics, marketing, the roadmap, and team history.

To prevent “rug-pulling” – when a project conducts fundraising and absconds with the funds provided by investors –  after a raise on Starter, an IDO's funds are locked in liquidity pools and vested to bring yield in $START and $VEST in a win-win scenario for the investors and projects. 

Starter began on BSC, which works with Solidity, the programming language used by Ethereum. That's one of the reasons why the BSC platform has grown so fast, offering an alternative technology to ETH and the latter's scalability impasses and high gas prices. Starter consciously chose BSC to start its launchpad/integrator while targeting the bulk of DeFi on Ethereum, and then quickly added interoperability with four more major blockchain platforms, thus vastly increasing the accessibility, value, and user friendliness of individual projects and their offerings, beyond the potential locked on Ethereum.     

In response to solving these key challenges, Starter has seen considerable traction early on. Within its first year, it has completed 50+ in sales (seed, private, IDO), some of which sold out in seconds, raised $40M+ for hosted projects, created an incubator fund amounting to $17M+ in assets under management, and has almost 160 projects using their Liquidity Locking Service, StartVesting.xyz, which has over $40M TVL. Starter incubated and created the popular, Tamagochi-inspired PlayToEarn game, “Starchi”, offering revolutionary staking opportunities with up to 898% APY. As a result of Starter's early success, a second launchpad is in the making and soon to be announced. 

To celebrate its first anniversary, Starter held a virtual birthday party and inaugurated a metaspace that will become an interactive digital meetingplace to enable community engagement, live since March 1, 2022. As this short film shows, the forum will enable a new kind of virtual community interaction, inviting viewers to discuss everything from tokenomics to governance and new trends in digital assets. 
The kickoff is Starter's first native metaspace event at 11:00 am ET on March 10th, 2022. Participants are invited to join the event here. Access will be granted on a first come, first served basis five minutes before the event starts. The interactive program agenda will cover how projects like Cake Monster and Project Oasis worked with Starter to strategize their successful IDOs, and what advice they have for peers.

The fast-growing sector in the crypto industry now boasts nearly $78 billion locked in multiple protocols, per the latest data from DeFiPulse. The DeFi movement has shown no signs of slowing down over the past year as new protocols continue popping up regularly. These emerging platforms leverage decentralized networks to transform traditional financial products into trustless protocols governed by smart contracts.  

Yield farming aggregator platform DeFi Yield Protocol is leading the charge in the new world order for the financial system by offering rewards in native tokens such as ETH, BNB, and AVAX. The project opens the door to a booming decentralized finance economy that brings crypto proponents options to put their coins to work in a safe and secure environment.

Crypto investors on the innovative platform can earn rewards across the Ethereum, Avalanche, and Binance Smart Chain networks. DYP users have to choose the contract that best serves their needs and watch their wallets grow without the disadvantages of impermanent loss.

The DYP Team Unveils Their Rebranding Plan!

Following up on the launch of their new smart contract that optimizes the buyback, farm, and staking solutions, the DeFi solutions provider has now announced their complete rebranding process. The plan aims to integrate new and cool stuff that gives the DYP ecosystem fresh air and a unique perspective that will significantly impact the crypto and DeFi community.

Mihai Busica, the DeFi Yield Protocol founder, has unveiled part of the features scheduled for launch this year to create a strong brand and take the project to the next level. The team is building a new logo, website, and Dapps for users to give DYP a new face. They also intend to launch new smart contracts for yield farming, staking, borrowing, and lending that allow the community to benefit from high rewards and maximize their profits.

Moreover, the dedicated team will integrate new exciting products, including a Monthly Lottery and a ‘Special Staking Pool' to bring more utility for the DYP Tools and generate revenue for the platform.

The fully decentralized lottery will reward DYP Tools users and participants who purchase tickets with bonuses from the Special Staking Pool. The new functions generate sustainable rewards for all users, proving that the DYP protocol is here for the long haul.

The DYP developers reiterate their commitment to creating an original project that builds its product and smart contracts from scratch, giving the project an edge over competitor platforms that copy or use ideas from existing platforms.

DYP is developing a Metaverse Play-to-Earn Game

The DeFi Yield Protocol team is currently designing a Metaverse platform that features the Cats and Watches Society NFTs collection as one of the main characters. The super cool cat digital collection dubbed ‘CAWS NFT' will bring many benefits to users and have excellent utilities in the upcoming Metaverse.  

Crypto enthusiasts who purchase the super cool cat that collects luxury watches will hold much more than a simple collection of digital art. They will enjoy plenty of advantages on DYP, including the ability to mint an additional stand-alone watch NFT for free.

CAWS NFT holders will also have access to ‘'THE SOCIETY BENEFITS”, allowing them to receive a share of 10% minting fees that will be redistributed to the other NFT owners. 

Holders of the Funky Cat will also receive 2.5% royalties on all secondary sales after the minting process is over and access a special staking pool. CAWS members will also be able to leverage their unique NFT Cat character to gain exclusive access to the Metaverse platform and all DYP products.

Furthermore, The DYP team plans to develop a virtual play-to-earn game, which will be the main attraction of the DYP Metaverse. The V.R. game allows DYPians to enjoy a unique GameFi experience, interact with their peers, make alliances, discover treasures, and earn rewards. Gamers can invest in upgrading their tools and equipment to dig faster for treasures and collect more bonuses.

How DYP is changing the Future in Crypto Earnings

The DYP protocol gives yield farming and staking new perspectives, empowering crypto users to earn even more passive income with their diverse range of products. Per a recent tweet from the team, the protocol has paid a total of 9194 ETH, 9949 BNB, and 25201 AVAX in rewards to users.

The project offers an APR of up to 320% across multiple chains, backing up DeFi market participants with the capacity to lend, borrow, stake, earn interest, and much more. The unique platform grants everyone with an internet connection access to transformational financial solutions such as yield farming, staking, NFTs and DYP Tools.

The latest offering from the leading protocol brings a new DYP Earn Vault that is now ready for action. The product introduces exciting features with compound integration and support for ETH, WBTC, USDC, USDT, and DAI. The contracts have no lock time and deliver 10% APR for ETH and BTC deposits, as well as 15% APR for USDT, USDC, DAI deposits.

The project also has a launchpad, which is an IDO platform for launching new tokens and coins. Furthermore, users can create initial token sales with reflections and profit-sharing mechanisms.

Ezillion's mission is to solve the problems currently hindering public access to crypto custodial services. It will achieve these goals by integrating security, simplicity, and accessibility cryptos into one platform.

The Ezillion Ecosystem

Ezillion strives to put "cryptocurrency in every portfolio." The platform establishes a break in the ecosystem to attract more people into digital assets to achieve this. By holding the Ezillion tokens for a long time, users may generate passive income while maintaining their privacy, authority, security, and autonomy. 

Notably, the ecosystem is based on reasonable monetary regulations and a robust decentralized foundation, and it is divided into a launchpad, staking platform, NFT marketplace, and BEP-20 token.

Ezilion Staking 

Ezillion is launching a staking platform that will allow investors, even newbies in blockchain, to stake Ezillion tokens. The platform offers a double rewards staking system that is profit-sharing utilities and token reflections.

Ezillion integrates on the Binance Smart Chain. Binance holding ensures the protection of its customers' funds by deploying unique security techniques and providing a Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU). The platform's staking method is arguably one of the safest and most environmentally friendly ways to generate passive revenue.

Ezillion NFT Marketplace

Ezillion NFT is a critical component of the NFT ecosystem. Ezillion Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs) are one-of-a-kind, non-transferable assets created on-chain. These tokens can be associated with anything, including digital EZI.

The crypto business has struggled with transparency, verification, ownership, provenance, copyright, and forgery for a long time. Furthermore, the sector has traditionally been confined to the privileged who can afford to invest millions of dollars in a single work of art.

Ezillion NFT marketplace can create, mint, sell, buy with multichain options. Users can select their preferred chain such as Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain. Meanwhile, Ezillion NFTs cannot be replicated and transferred without the user's permission, hence secure. 

Ezillion Token

EZI is a BEP-20 decentralized cryptocurrency based on the Binance Smart Chain. EZI is the currency needed to transact on the various distribution modules associated with the Ezillion decentralized application. Token owners have the option of staking their tokens in the Ezillion wallet to receive special rights and rewards within the network.

Tokenomics

The EZI token has a total supply of 1,000,000,000,000,000. Ezillion will burn 50% of the tokens to reduce the supply of the tokens to increase demand. Another 20% will go into liquidity to keep the tokens in supply. 

The presale will use up to 20% of the tokens. Furthermore, the unlock will use up 10% of the tokens, with a private sale taking up 3%, the airdrop 0.5%, team vesting 5% (Locked for 365 days) and CEX listing 1.5%.

About Ezillion

Ezillion is a protocol established and designed to directly reward holders while increasing value and liquidity on the Binance Smart Chain. Dubbed 'The People' s Launchpad', its objective is providing investors with innovative, user-friendly one-stop-solutions. They can find everything they need to buy, sell, and hold and make a more informed choice about whether or not to invest in Ezillion.

Ezillion's smart contract will be audited by Spywolf.co, and its KYC and private doxxing overseen by Pinksale finance. The project's presale will take place in April.
