Kadena Announces Partnership with Lurk Lab to Build ZK Bridge

Published

on

Kadena, the world’s only scalable Proof of Work blockchain, announces a partnership with Lurk Lab to build out a Zero-Knowledge tech stack on the Kadena blockchain that will pave the way for provably secure cross-chain messaging.

Kadena and Lurk Lab are developing a robust ZK roadmap that includes a ZK bridge between Ethereum and Kadena. In total, there are two milestones that are expected to be accomplished in the second half of 2024, and a third milestone that will be completed later.

Given Lurk’s comprehensive and unique approach, John Wiegley, Kadena’s Chief Technology Officer, is excited about the robust capabilities being developed for ZKs on Kadena by Lurk Lab.

“We’re excited to work with Lurk Lab to integrate their zero-knowledge technology into Kadena, particularly for the impact it will have in enabling zero-knowledge cross-chain messaging,” said Wiegley.

John Burnham, Co-Founder and CEO of Lurk Lab, also shared in the enthusiasm for the partnership and bringing ZK to Kadena.

“It’s now generally accepted in Web3 that zero-knowledge cryptography is critical to building a world of fast, reliable, and interoperable blockchains, but what’s not yet as widely understood are the tremendous performance and safety advantages unlocked by defining zero-knowledge proofs – and blockchain infrastructure in general – using functional programming techniques. Kadena has long been a leader in this space, and we’re thrilled to be working together to achieve this shared vision of the functional future,” said Burnham.

New Web3 Community Platform Aims to Improve Product Feedback and User Engagement

Today, LCA announces the launch of Propeller, the first decentralized application (dApp) built on the open-source communications protocol, River. Propeller is set to transform the way product teams engage with their users, gather meaningful product feedback, and build community.

LCA, renowned for collaborating with top brands like Nike, Reddit, Dropbox, Opensea, and Moonpay, has been consistently developing innovative, community-centric products. Propeller represents an opportunity for legacy social platforms to step into the next phase of community collaboration, emphasizing purpose-built online spaces designed to meet the unique needs of specific communities.

“LCA was founded with the mission of connecting the disconnected through products that bring people together,” said Greg Isenberg, CEO of Late Checkout. Propeller is all about helping early-stage product teams connect directly with users who love (and hate) them. We’re thrilled to see Propeller launch on the River Protocol, focusing on privacy, security, and giving users real ownership in the community. It’s a new era for feedback.”

Propeller challenges the status quo of one-way user feedback systems by facilitating dynamic conversations between users and product teams. On Propeller, users can interact directly with team members, share ideas, and engage with other power users, all while being rewarded for their valuable input. This community-driven approach ensures that feedback is not only collected but acted upon, fostering a sense of belonging and investment among users.

Brian Meek, co-founder and CTO of HNT Labs, the web3 venture studio behind the River Protocol, highlighted the significance of this launch: “The River Protocol was designed to empower communities with enhanced privacy, security, reputation, and ownership. Propeller is a perfect example of how these principles can be applied to create a more engaged and valued user base. We are thrilled to support Propeller as the first dApp on our protocol and look forward to seeing its impact on community engagement and product development.”

With River’s token-gated memberships and on-chain verification, Propeller ensures that product feedback comes from verified community members. Each membership exists as a non-fungible token (NFT), providing proof of early adoption and enabling users to gain reputational value. This integration allows for exciting future opportunities, such as gifting and airdropping rewards based on reputation, granting access to exclusive communities, and offering new feature previews to top contributors.

Propeller is a community platform aimed at enhancing user engagement and collaboration between users and product teams. By leveraging the capabilities of the River Protocol, Propeller is creating a new standard between companies and their most dedicated users, ensuring that every voice is heard and every contribution is recognized.

In a groundbreaking development, Undeads Games has commenced a $50M Paired Staking initiative alongside a staggering $2M airdrop, setting a new standard in the blockchain gaming community. This new staking model is already live and introduces enhanced rewards and deeper engagement opportunities for the game’s enthusiastic player base.

Empowering the community with paired staking

Undeads Games is pioneering an exciting staking system where players can pair their UDS tokens with exclusive Undeads Zombie NFTs to maximize their earnings. By locking in UDS tokens for periods ranging from 1- 24 months, participants can earn up to an impressive 50% APR. The rewards potential escalates with the rarity of the NFT paired, offering up to 80% enhanced shares of the rewards pool.

Seamless integration and user-centric design

The Paired Staking program is designed to be accessible and user-friendly, allowing community members to easily select their desired staking period and rewards via a dedicated dashboard. Once the staking period concludes, tokens along with accrued rewards are immediately unlocked and returned to the user, ensuring transparency and reliability through a comprehensive system that not only gives significant returns but simultaneously builds trust among the community.

Celebrating community commitment with $2M UDS airdrop

Undeads Games also distributed its ground-breaking airdrop of 2,500,000 UDS tokens. This huge airdrop – part of a four-year initiative – rewards Undeads Zombies NFT holders annually, scaling the distribution according to the rarity of each holder’s NFT. This approach not only enhances the value of holders’ digital assets but also solidifies their investment in the evolving game ecosystem.

Strengthening player trust and engagement

This airdrop underscores Undeads Games’ dedication to its vibrant community of gamers and NFT enthusiasts. By intertwining substantial rewards with player involvement—through social media airdrops, the Viral Game, and play-to-earn opportunities—Undeads Games aims to foster a rewarding environment that acknowledges and compensates its most committed players, and by extension further deepen their engagement with the platform.

Understanding the offering

The Paired Staking system has been designed by the Undeads’ team to reward the trust and commitment of avid enthusiasts within the community. By choosing to participate, users agree to lock their assets for the specified period, and this commitment is irreversible until the unlock date – underscoring the significant trust users place in the project, and ultimately rewarding this trust in turn.

As such the staking mechanism stands as a testament to the committed partnership between Undeads Games and the community, ensuring that their most loyal supporters – who understand the project and actively engage with the platform – receive the maximum benefits from their investments. In an industry full of projects that simply see their investors as a means to increase their own revenue and status, this impressive offering represents a refreshing offering from a company already showing exceptional promise.

Covalent Announces Airdrop Campaign Into Its Massive +225 Chain Ecosystem, Starting With Taiko and zkSync Participating Communities

Published

on

Covalent is excited to announce the launch of its new Covalent Ecosystem Airdrop Program as part of The New Dawn initiative, aimed at upgrading the network and further decentralizing its infrastructure for Long-Term Data Availability. The initiative focuses on improving infrastructure, optimizing staking mechanisms, and launching incentive campaigns to drive participation and growth. It also aims to reward CQT token holders who have staked for their unwavering support, participation and contributions to the Covalent ecosystem.

Covalent’s Ecosystem Airdrop Program

Covalent’s Ecosystem Airdrop Program is more than just a token distribution; it is a strategic effort to catalyze market dynamics and foster deeper engagement amongst participants of the Covalent community. Participants can access Covalent’s airdrop portal here, offering a glimpse into the eligibility criteria and potential rewards.

Long-Term Partnerships with Taiko and zkSync

As part of this initiative, Covalent reveals that the first shortlist of tokens is from long-term partners Taiko and zkSync. Covalent has been closely aligned with the projects since their testnet phases, collaborating to ensure seamless integration and mutual growth. Stay tuned for more updates as Covalent continues to expand and enhance this initiative, bringing more opportunities and rewards to the entire ecosystem.

How to Get Involved

Participating in the ecosystem airdrop is straightforward. Here’s how you can join in:

  1. Become a CQT Staker: To qualify for the airdrops, individuals must stake their CQT tokens. If you haven’t already done so, please refer to the comprehensive staking dashboard for a step-by-step guide on how to stake your tokens.
  2. Access the Airdrop Portal: Once you are a CQT staker, visit the Airdrop Portal to view the tokens you are eligible for based on your staking contributions.

By following these simple steps, participants can unlock additional utility and value through the airdrops, enhancing their participation and involvement in the Covalent ecosystem.

Overwhelming Demand For CQT Staking

In May 2024, the Covalent Network activated a governance proposal to increase the max multiplier due to the delegation room being full. Now, 99% of the delegation room is full once again. This level of demand has surpassed expectations, indicating a robust interest in Covalent’s staking program. To accommodate this demand, there are three tools available to introduce more delegation room, all of which require a governance process:

  1. Increase the Max Multiplier: Currently set at 34x, increasing this multiplier can provide more room for delegations.
  2. Onboard More Operators: This is an ongoing process to ensure the ecosystem remains decentralized and efficient.
  3. Allow Operators to Increase Self-Stake: Although not ideal during the bootstrap phase, this option is available for consideration.

Those who haven’t staked and are interested in participating in the ecosystem airdrops program campaign will be able to do so once more delegation room becomes available. Stay tuned for more updates.

Join the Excitement

The New Dawn Airdrop Campaign marks a pivotal moment for the Covalent Network and its community. By rewarding loyal supporters and network participants Covalent continues to pave the way for a robust and dynamic blockchain ecosystem.

Electrocoin Launches Its New Cryptocurrency Exchange Platform, Electrocoin Trade

Published

on

One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchange services in Croatia, Electrocoin, has recently launched their new cryptocurrency exchange platform called Electrocoin Trade, providing services for natural and legal clients in the EU.

The platform includes two core services – cryptocurrency exchange and trading service without prior registration to the platform, and cryptocurrency exchange and trading service for registered users. This way, and following the recent regulatory development in the area of crypto regulation, Electrocoin introduced the new custodial model to their service, allowing them to act as a custodian for the assets clients chose to hold on their Electrocoin Trade accounts. By registering with Electrocoin Trade, users get to entrust their cryptocurrencies for safekeeping to a highly regulated platform, as they also get access to additional trading and user experience benefits such as lower trading fees and cryptocurrency portfolio monitoring.

Regardless of the new service, Electrocoin decided to keep the old service as well – any adult citizen in the EU can buy, sell, or trade cryptocurrencies up to 1000 euros without verification or prior registration on the platform. This way, Electrocoin wanted to ensure their existing and future users had an option where they could still access crypto even if they would rather not register with the new platform. This service is possible due to regulatory approval for KYC-less money exchange under certain thresholds.

The platform supports cross-chain transfers and coin-to-coin swaps through a variety of protocols, including ERC-20, Polygon, BEP-20, and many more. Furthermore, with the release of the new platform, Electrocoin has also introduced one new service – paying bills with cryptocurrencies. Users of the platform can use their cryptocurrencies to settle any invoice that can be paid by bank transfer within the EU/SEPA zone. That being said, utility bills such as electricity, water, or internet, or even personal expenses such as vehicles or even real estate, can be paid with cryptocurrencies – as long as the payment recipient has a bank account number.

Electrocoin was founded back in 2014 and has since become an industry leader, introducing PayCek, a crypto payment processor, in 2018. and now the new cryptocurrency exchange platform. The company is committed to communication with the regulator and today, they count over 250,000 successful transactions, along with 24/7 available customer support with an average chat response time of one minute. Electrocoin Trade positions itself as a competitor to other top-tier European cryptocurrency exchanges, with the feature enabling the cryptocurrency exchange without prior identification specifically standing out.
