Coin Rivet is delighted to announce the launch of its highly-anticipated podcast, hosted by professional poker player and cryptocurrency enthusiast Jeff Gross.

February 23, 2022 - Metacurio (formerly known as 1ofOne), the leading NFT creative agency for A-list talent and global brands and the internationally renowned photo house Iconic Images announced that they will be releasing a limited collector's edition NFT on OpenSea featuring original negatives of the iconic photo of Sean Connery as James Bond golfing on the moon created by the world-famous photographer, Terry O'Neill. The NFT Collection will feature an array of different color variations and doctored edits of the original photos. The colors incorporated in the unique pieces were created by referencing NASA's own template to identify colors that might exist in space. These never before seen colorized images will not only indicate ownership of a rare photo that will never be sold in print, but will also allow holders to vote on upcoming releases from Iconic Images NFT, gain early access to purchase never before seen archival images, participate in the Iconic Images NFT community, and more.

Collectors can bid on the NFTs starting Friday, March 4 at 1pm PT/4pm ET on OpenSea.io.

The images are sourced from Iconic Images, a UK-based enterprise which is home to an extensive archive of millions of photos spanning the history of fashion, rock and roll, film, politics, royalty and pop culture. Last November Authentic Brands Group (ABG) a brand development, marketing and entertainment company announced the acquisition of Iconic Images adding a Fine Arts vertical to its portfolio of global media, entertainment and lifestyle brands

 

O'Neill developed the concept for this photograph while working on the set of the James Bond film, “Diamonds are Forever”, at Pinewood Studios in London during the Apollo 14 mission. During the historic moonwalk, astronaut Alan Shepard famously took a 6-Iron and two golf balls to Mars. The image of Shepard golfing on the moon inspired O'Neill to recreate the photograph with Connery on the backlot's moonscape set of the film. 

O'Neill is one of the world's most revered photographers with works hanging in national art galleries and private collections worldwide. No other photographer has embraced the span of fame, capturing the 20th century icons from Winston Churchill to Nelson Mandela,from Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley to  Amy Winehouse, from Audrey Hepburn,Brigitte Bardot to Nicole Kidman, as well as the James Bond actors from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig and many of their leading ladies. He photographed The Beatles and The Rolling Stones as emerging young talent in 1963, pioneered backstage reportage photography with David Bowie, Elton John, Eric Clapton and Chuck Berry, and his images have adorned historic rock albums, movie posters and international magazine covers.

Information Decentralized with Rewards on Earngine

Since the invention of the internet, major corporations have had a stranglehold on the web searching niche. These centralized search engines often abuse their power over internet searches to distort, censor, or secretly record user results.

Internet users thus lack a truly decentralized way to access content that goes beyond what big tech wants them to see. The rise of decentralized search engines allows users to access info that isn't driven by corporations with vested interests. 

Earngine introduces a new way for internet users to access decentralized, uncensorable websites. Furthermore, the platform offers users enhanced privacy and transparency via its distributed public ledger that is owned by everyone on the network.

The community-owned search engine brings Web 3.0 users a way out of unfair domination of traditional search engines over search results. In contrast with centralized search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, and the likes, Earngine enables access and exchange of content in a pure p2p pattern. The decentralized platform goes a step further to reward users for executing search actions.

The initiative will make cryptocurrency safe, making it an exceptional wallet.

Meanwhile, DiveWallet will soon be launching its next token phase after completing a successful private sale. Note that the project has plans to launch the token in three phases: private sale, ignite presale, and public launch. Most importantly, these phases of the token sale will be used to fund the wallet.

DiveWallet is Addressing Security Issues

In a space filled with scams and dangerous web3 dApps, the new cross-chain wallet, once launched, will provide a more safe crypto environment for both experienced and novice users. According to the creators, the new wallet will have some great new features that will help it become one of the safest locations to buy and exchange cryptos.

"We know firsthand that the crypto space presents an assortment of challenges for new and experienced investors alike. DiveWallet aims to address these issues with a variety of innovative tools to increase ease-of-use and asset security."

Sending alerts when a user's wallet is connected to any web3 address, logging Dollar-Cost Average (DCA), an initial amount invested are among the projected unique features. There will also be the opportunity to select the pricing source (CMC, DexTools, Poocoin, and so on), as well as a customizable, automatic total web3 disconnect (after a specified duration) and real-time dusting attack alerts.

DiveWallet Token

The DiveWallet token is a simple token with an initial supply of 1 quadrillion tokens that will create a DiveWallet community. It will also raise funds required to create the wallet to provide utility, which is the foundation of any token.

The token launch is divided into three stages: the private sale, the ignite presale, and the public launch. DiveWallet just announced that the presale phase of a token release began on February 17 and is now complete. Its goal was to raise funds needed to support the development of its innovative digital wallet.

As the project progresses, the team has pledged to provide more information on the stages and the whitelisted presale. As a result, it informs prospective investors that everyone who receives a whitelisted presale will acquire the maximum token quantity during the presale.

Tokenomics

DiveWallet has made its tokenomics distribution straightforward. The first allocation goes to a 15% transaction tax. The team believes that there is no need for a team or marketing tax because the team's wallet reflections will give all of the funds required. Any additional tax on top of the received reflections would be unnecessary.

The next allotment is for liquidity, which amounts to 2%. The final one is BUSD reflections with a 13% allotment. The BUSD reflections serve as a "bonus" to DiveWallet token holders while allowing the team wallet to accumulate capital without incurring a per-transaction fee.

Roadmap Details

DiveWallet has already completed the first phase of its 2022 roadmap. It has already released a whitepaper, carried out a private sale, launched its website and token contract.

Currently, it is working on building a community, marketing, and carrying out an Interfi audit. In addition, there will also be whitelist finalization, Pinksale presale, public token launch, and a CMC and CoinGecko application.

There will be more developers, a KYC audit, more marketing, and hire or onboard wallet for the second quarter. The third quarter involves the DiveWallet launch, reflections distribution, buy nack and burn with ad revenue, and finally, dApp products introduction.

Q4 of 2022 will see continued ad revenue reflection, continued buyback ad burn, and finally, expanding the wallet functionality.

About Dive Wallet

DiveWallet is a cross-chain mobile wallet that is all-inclusive and completely functioning. In a space filled with frauds and dangerous web3 dApps, the groundbreaking cross-chain wallet promises to provide a more safe crypto environment for both expert and beginner users.

2021 was one of the most prolific years for crypto as many companies, countries, and markets became closer to accepting Bitcoin as a payment tool. The development of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment is still rapidly growing.

The Aventus Network – the layer-2 blockchain protocol that brings scalability, speed and lower costs to Ethereum transactions – today announced the start of a long-term partnership with Scytale Ventures, a leading blockchain venture capital and consulting firm. Scytale will work to integrate Aventus Network (AvN) into the Polkadot ecosystem to provide interoperability between the two networks and help realise Aventus' vision of being fully embedded into the wider blockchain ecosystem.

Polkadot gives you the ability to interoperate with a wide variety of blockchains in the Polkadot network. Lack of interoperability in the blockchain space is one of the greatest barriers to adoption, leading to a fragmented industry where thousands of different tokens and networks are built on varying standards and consensus models. Polkadot works to ensure long-term cross-compatibility of these projects and simplify adoption by connecting and securing unique blockchains under common security guarantees.

For Aventus, this integration will enable smart contracts, decentralised applications (dApps) and other assets or utilities on the Aventus chain to be seamlessly and securely transferred between AvN, Polkadot, and a host of other compatible blockchains. Scytale, Polkadot and Aventus will develop a powerful new infrastructure that will maintain the utility and tokenomic model of the existing AVT token and staking model, whilst enabling Aventus to become a ‘parachain' (an integrated blockchain) of Polkadot.

Aventus' partnership with Scytale Ventures includes a sizable DOT (Polkadot's token) grant to help develop the necessary applications to plug into the Polkadot ecosystem. In addition, Scytale Horizon Fund II, has taken a significant position in AVT as a vote of confidence in the project.

Alan Vey, Co-Founder and CEO of the Aventus Network, said: “Imagine a world in which you couldn't send emails from Gmail to Microsoft – or you couldn't view the same webpage on both a PC and a Macintosh. That's the problem facing blockchain right now – thousands of different projects are built on different languages, and they cannot talk to each other. Polkadot is the solution to this - bridging different chains and giving them a common language. Integrating into the Polkadot family has always been an ambition for Aventus, and with Scytale's expertise and capital injection we have the rocket fuel we need to reach our goal of ensuring true interoperability with the wider blockchain community.”

Mark Cachia, Founder at Scytale Ventures added: “We are eager to support Alan and the team at Aventus to integrate more closely with the Polkadot Ecosystem. We invest primarily with strong teams with exemplary dedication and character, and I cannot think of anyone more committed to delivering useful, interoperable solutions than Aventus. Their organic decision to first build on Substrate because of the tech stack, then work with us to join the community dedicated to multichain interoperability, is a testament to the power of Substrate, and will unlock tremendous value for stakeholders. We're confident that – with our expertise and investment – Aventus will ensure true interoperability with the Polkadot ecosystem, setting an example for others in this space to follow.”

Gavin Wood, Founder of Polkadot, said: “The blockchain community has flourished over the last two years and so has the variety of services blockchains provide. The next challenge facing the community is making interoperability between blockchain networks a reality. This is precisely what Aventus' integration into the Polkadot network will enable, bringing the speed, security and long-term cross-compatibility required for Aventus to work seamlessly with the wider blockchain community. We can't wait to see where this takes Aventus – the possibilities are endless.”

Danny Masters, seed investor in the Aventus Network and Chairman at CoinShares International, said: “This partnership with Scytale marks a major step forward for Aventus and sets a clear path for growth and innovation well into the future. Solving the problem of interoperability is a top priority for many working in the blockchain space. Integrating with Polkadot will position Aventus at the leading edge of this effort. I am excited to see how Aventus, its token holders and clients will utilise the opportunities interoperability will bring.”

The Aventus Network is a 2nd-layer blockchain protocol that lets any organisation build on the Ethereum network without the typical limitations of speed, scalability, and price. Founded in 2017, Aventus makes building on Ethereum accessible for businesses and decentralised platforms through fairer transactions for all — enabling the broadscale adoption of public decentralised blockchain through blockchain interoperability.
