NEW YORK, NY, December 16, 2021 - Publicis Sapient, a digital business transformation company, today announced its partnership with Portion, the premier online art marketplace connecting artists and collectors through blockchain technology, enabling members to easily sell, invest and own art and collectibles with complete transparency. Publicis Sapient and Portion will collaborate on two initiatives that will allow Publicis Sapient's clients to extend their brands into Web 3.0, including the metaverse, and evolve the customer experience. 

The metaverse is an interconnected structure of digital and physical products and IP – a platform where individuals can interact within a virtually rendered world. Publicis Sapient and Portion will architect a first-of-its-kind metaverse-based experience that will act as a conduit for legacy channels to expand their brands into this new digital frontier. The collaboration will empower companies to evolve and appeal to a new generation of consumers who have a higher expectation for the user experience, including how transactions are processed, products are tested and digital interactions are recorded. 

The first initiative will focus on tackling one of the biggest and most expensive challenges Publicis Sapient's clients are facing today: identity resolution – or building a cohesive, omnichannel view of a single consumer. This will be achieved by the development of a turnkey platform that allows Publicis Sapient to facilitate the creation and fulfillment of transactions with NFTs of physical products. 

The second initiative creates an experience that's an extension of any brand's ability to deliver dynamic product experiences in the metaverse, connecting both Web 2.0 and Web 3.0. The metaverse economy is an untapped market where innovators will be able to create ongoing value.  Among other endeavors, Portion will be constructing an initiative within the metaverse that will act as a direct channel for brands to expand their sales and service channels.

The NFT market is rapidly expanding.  There is a $2 trillion of crypto net worth and investors are looking for new experiences, new technology and new markets.   Last quarter alone, $10 billion was transacted in NFTs. 

“Portion offers a seamless customer experience that users can trust. As the world becomes increasingly entwined with the digital metaverse, and data takes center stage, this level of trust is paramount between users and organizations,” said AJ Dalal, Publicis Sapient's GVP, Data Strategy & Consulting, North America Lead.  “As a leader in digital transformation, we are continuously evolving and exploring avenues of innovation. We look forward to a long and exciting partnership with Portion and the novel capabilities our collaboration will produce.” 

When Portion launched in 2016, concepts like DAOs, token-based metaverses, community owned financial protocols and NFT art were small scale experiments. Today, the platform's proven technology provides thousands of users with a decentralized marketplace, ensuring complete transparency, verification of authenticity, proof of ownership and frictionless settlements. 

“The power of the immutable blockchain technology, which allows the creation of products that are digitally permanent and completely singular, is what makes our platform unique,” said Jason Rosenstein, founder of Portion. “Our engagement with Publicis Sapient gives us a seat at an innovative table to develop these unique experiences that also provide incredible utility to customers.  As a team, we are creating two dynamic designs that are readily adoptable for companies, at any stage of their digital transformation, that are looking to become part of the Web 3.0 revolution.”

- Multi-chain community-driven launchpad Starter (https://starter.xyz), today announced it will host the Initial Dex Offering (IDO) of ANOMUS, the 100 percent decentralized news protocol providing the public with access to transparent and fairly distributed news worldwide.

ANOMUS sets out to remedy fake news, which has often distorted reality and divided society creating turmoil and conflict. It aims to dismantle the suppression of speech and blacklisted topics encountered by communities around the world. As a blockchain protocol, every published content piece will be tamper proof and minted as an NFT on the blockchain. 

“In our ever-increasing digital world, more and more individuals are capturing their news online, where information flows 24/7 and can be quickly accessed and looked up. However, only recently has the media adopted the practice to fact-check sources and tidbits of information,” said Lionel Iruk, Special Counsel at Starter. “ANOMUS Protocol will be the blockchain antidote to fake news, available to fact-check and report news globally and ad-free without executive oversight culminating in community governance to deliver legitimate and accurate news.” 

In the initial phase, anyone will be able to become a content creator, by staking the ANOMUS token. Each approved article will become a minted NFT and will increase the reputation of the writer as a trusted source. 

For auditors, the initial voting reputation will also be predefined by staked amount, however, each content audit will be rewarded. Auditors can also increase their reputation by initializing fake news voting, by completing fact-challenges within the protocol and by suggesting edits to make the ecosystem more informative and by adding opposing views or an opinion to maintain a neutral balance.

Those consuming the news have the option to reward publishers for their contributions using the ANOMUS token or by liking and commenting on the published content. Readers will have the chance to earn ANOMUS tokens by reading and engaging with the ecosystem.

Additional incentive programs will reward content creators and auditors to validate stories and challenge misinformation. Stored on IFPS and Web 3.0 compatible, ANOMUS  will be easily accessible by anyone in any part of the world and cannot be restricted by a government entity. The native token will create shared community ownership of the platform, in turn creating a diverse, multifaceted governance and self-sustaining system that will encourage member participation. 

During the Initial Dex Announcement (IDO), 40,000,000 $ANOM tokens will be made available for purchase at $0.003 USD. Users taking the governance token will be able to participate in platform improvements to receive ANOMUS rewards and will have the opportunity to vote for protocol changes in the future.

Starter's community has provided hassle-free funding to many well-known IDO launches and now adds Anomus to its list. For more information on Starter's IDO launch of Anomus, please visit https://starter.xyz/.

-- Telos (www.telos.net), one of the most active blockchain platforms in the world according to Blocktivity, today announced that a group of six prominent crypto investors, led by John Lilic, ConsenSys and Polygon investor, co-founder and board member of Code to Inspire, have invested eight million USD into a strategic deal, which will provide a major capital breakthrough as Telos launches the most advanced Ethereum Virtual Machine platform to date. 

To date, the Telos blockchain has funded itself entirely from bootstrapping with no large investors. With this sale, Telos aims to secure a firm source of liquidity and ongoing funding for development and marketing without needing to resort to TLOS token sales in the event of a prolonged bear market over the next year. In addition to the eight million raise, the investment group will provide Telos with deep industry connections and deal-making expertise to accelerate the whale-less network's inroads into the crypto establishment. The Telos community will reap the benefits of the wealth of skills, expertise, knowledge and relationships brought in by five proven investors as Telos continues to ramp up for major new exchange listings and a flourishing DeFi ecosystem with Telos EVM that is now completing its mainnet launch.

As a uniquely grassroots project that never had an ICO or VC investment round before or since its 2018 mainnet launch, this strategic deal represents the first large investment in Telos by any group, with approximately 1.7% of the total Telos token supply being purchased. The investors entered the agreement via a community liaison when $TLOS tokens were trading at $0.90 USD and agreed to pay a $0.10 USD premium on the market price. In total, eight million tokens were sold at a price of $8 million USD and split between investors, with a maximum of two million tokens available to any individual investor within the group.

“Telos has walked a challenging path over the last three years without engaging the well funded, well connected investors common to other blockchain networks. While this preserved our identity as an egalitarian, self-governing community, it left us exposed to the risks of continuing to fund our explosive growth through extended bear markets. With this strategic investment, Telos welcomes partners who see our long term value, provide crucial connections and guarantee our ability to continue building our real-world-ready tools regardless of market conditions. At the same time, it further de-risks the ability for Telos to grow without sacrificing token support or community sustainability,” said Douglas Horn, Telos chief architect and whitepaper author. “I'm grateful for every single new Telos founder who joins us, but the investing track record of this group is particularly impressive. It's been rewarding working with them already, even before the deal was consummated. I see John and his group as true believers and partners in Telos's unbridled success. Frankly, these guys are badasses who have picked winner after winner, so it's thrilling to believe that they see the same potential in Telos.”

The funds sold were originally approved by a community vote in December 2020 and allocated by the community-elected Telos block producers as part of the Telos T-Bond NFT sale of January 2021 valued at $0.20 per TLOS. The community-selected stakeholders overseeing this allotment unanimously agreed to release the remaining funds for the strategic sale at five times the originally approved price, given the alignment provided by this investment round and the overall benefits to Telos. The arrangement enjoyed unanimous support from both the Telos Core Developers and Telos Foundation who recognized the strategic benefits of bringing in experienced investors.

The eight million USD in funds has been distributed to the network's Ethereum gnosis safe. Fund will primarily be disbursed to the Telos Foundations for marketing, Telos Core Developers for development and the community-managed Telos liquidity fund, which will provide a massive boost to its ecosystem as a whole via increased development, marketing and network liquidity.

The full Telos Technical Roadmap 2021 can be viewed here.
