Japanese Soccer Star Honda Paid in Crypto to Promote Exchange

Published

on

As cryptocurrencies remain continuously popular in Japan among the younger generation, companies believe they can improve their image by collaborating with strong and sustainable public characters to familiarize the image of cryptocurrency.

Earlier in August, it was the Japanese professional soccer player Shinji Kagawa, who made a deal with GMO Internet Group. Kagawa has signed a contract with GMO to support its corporate brand and products as the group decided to challenge business overseas. GMO is developing mainly internet infrastructures in South East Asia through the global brand Z.com by concluding individual sponsorship agreements with the most popular professional soccer players in each country. Kagawa has reportedly been active as a brand ambassador for Z.com since 2016.

The amount in cryptocurrency for which they contracted with the Japanese super star was not mentioned, however the press release confirms that the payment was made in cryptocurrency. “Regarding the theme of the promotional movie, I thought there was a part that matches my own personal goal in life, that is to aim every day at becoming the world’s best [player],” Honda said in a statement. “The Hollywood shooting crew was also very nice, I really enjoyed it.”

bitpoint

In June of this year, Bitpoint received a business improvement order by the FSA and had been refrained from operating marketing campaigns that leads to “aggressive business expansion,” Bitpoint said in a statement. “We are working on the execution of the business improvement plan we submitted on July 23rd as our top management priority. With this promotional movie featuring Keisuke Honda, we wanted to show the public that we are currently strengthening our management system.”

Born in 1986 in Osaka, Honda attracted the world’s attention for shooting 2 decisive goals during the 2010 World Cup, in South Africa. Honda has been active recently at the 2018 Football World Cup in Russia with the Japanese national team, and professionally active at Melbourne Victory. In June 2016, Honda was also named Global Advocate for Youth, by the United Nations Foundation and reportedly opened more than 60 soccer schools in Japan and worldwide.

Industry Heavyweight Asymmetric Research Enters the Stacks Ecosystem As Core Security Contributor and Signer For sBTC

Published

on

Today, the Stacks Foundation announced that leading security firm Asymmetric Research has joined the Stacks ecosystem as a security contributor to the leading Bitcoin L2. The team is already making significant contributions to the ecosystem, acting as an embedded security team during their audit of the upcoming sBTC asset and joining the Stacks signer network through our delegation program.

Asymmetric has a proven track record of securing some of the industry’s most prominent protocols. It is the security partner for leading bridge Wormhole, Jump Crypto, several top DeFi projects, and leading protocols such as Solana, Cosmos, Berachain, and others. Asymmetric is also a core contributor to Solana’s highly anticipated new validator client, Firedancer.

Signers play a critical role in the Stacks network, securing the deposit and withdrawal process between BTC and sBTC, ensuring a seamless and secure transfer of BTC to the Bitcoin L2 ecosystem. Asymmetric will join other industry leaders in supporting the network and overall security of sBTC, including BitGo, Blockdaemon, Copper, Figment, Kiln, Luganodes, Chorus One, and more than 30 other institutional node operators, making the Stacks Signer network the most robust in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

The release of sBTC, expected in Q4 of this year, will offer developers a trust-minimized, decentralized, programmable Bitcoin asset. The asset is 1:1 Bitcoin-backed and will allow developers to leverage the security, network effects, and 1.2T in latent capital of the Bitcoin network. Among other use cases, sBTC will enable more secure forms of Bitcoin DeFi which is expected to be a major catalyst in activating the Bitcoin economy.

For any project, layers of security are crucial, and Asymmetric Research represents one more major addition to Stacks’ overall security program. This program already includes sBTC’s decentralized network of validators/signers (removing the need to entrust a single entity and mitigating counterparty risk) and sBTC’s design to include 100% Bitcoin finality, securing sBTC at the consensus level of a $2.5 billion network.

In addition to numerous audits, including Asymmetric Research’s audit efforts, other initiatives this year have added to a well-rounded approach to Stacks security. This includes direct and ongoing testing with the aforementioned leading Signers, the onboarding of Hypernative, the emergence of a dedicated whitehat security program, a consultation agreement with the Staking Defense League, an ongoing Immunefi bug bounty program, and dedicated Stacks Foundation Residents focused exclusively on fuzz and penetration testing throughout 2024.

“The value of building on Bitcoin comes down to security. It’s not enough to simply build on Bitcoin— ecosystems must prioritize securing activity at all layers as we collectively look to unlock the Bitcoin economy. With Asymmetric Research, the Stacks ecosystem is adding yet another high-caliber entity to the mix of industry leaders collaborating to make sBTC the best version of programmable sBTC available. Stacks core developers and Asymmetric share a commitment to protecting users and developers, and in addition to being a match in technical pedigree, are culturally aligned groups that will enhance each other’s thoughtful and rigorous approaches.” Mitchell Cuevas, Executive Director at The Stacks Foundation said.

Jonathan Claudius, Chief Executive Officer at Asymmetric Research added, “Asymmetric Research is proud to participate in the Stacks ecosystem as it pioneers trust-minimized, decentralized assets like sBTC.”

Please join us in welcoming the Asymmetric Research team to the Stacks Ecosystem, and look out for more information in the coming weeks about how you can engage with the work they will be doing.

About Stacks

Hashnote brings USYC to the Canton Network to offer the first tokenized money market fund with built-in privacy

Published

on

Hashnote, the on-chain first digital asset manager backed by DRW and Cumberland, and Canton Network, launched by Digital Asset in collaboration with more than 30 financial industry leaders, announce that Hashnote’s yield-bearing US Yield Coin (USYC) is now available on the Canton Network. USYC on Canton benefits from the network’s unique privacy properties, enabling USYC holders to hold and deliver collateral across the Canton Network without anyone other than the issuer and the holder knowing.

“What particularly stands out for us, and for many of our clients, is the privacy of your assets and transactions when using Canton, which can be crucial for trading use cases. The setup allows us to reduce counterparty and settlement risks and optimize capital efficiency without sacrificing privacy. Furthermore, USYC is fully composable on the Canton Network, so participants can create additional utility around USYC by including it in their trading, cash, and risk management workflows,” said Leo Mizuhara, Founder and CEO of Hashnote.

Hashnote’s USYC invests in reverse repo activities on government-backed bonds. It is designed to offer tokenized short-term risk-free rate returns, leveraging the benefits of rapid on-chain transaction speed, transparency, and composability. USYC’s AUM is at $300 million and growing (https://usyc.hashnote.com/). The Canton Network’s Global Synchronizer allows risk-free and privacy-protected value exchange across apps in the Canton Network via atomic transactions.

“Access to tokenized real-world assets on-chain has been steadily on the rise and we are now seeing demand from institutional investors who want to utilize these assets across daily margin, cash, and risk management activities,” said Eric Saraniecki, Co-Founder and Head of Network Strategy at Digital Asset. “Privacy is required to make this a reality, unlocking cash equivalents for use as collateral 24/7, in real-time, and connecting Hashnote’s customers to the largest and most diverse network for tokenized real-world financial assets.”

Hashnote is one of the early movers leveraging Digital Asset’s Canton asset tokenization utility, enabling firms to securely and quickly bring digital assets to institutions connected on the Canton Network. The utility provides an asset registry application with out-of-the-box smart contracts to create tokenized assets with embedded privacy, and a credential management capability to onboard investors, manage permissioning, and ensure direct investor ownership and control over assets.

The Canton Network’s Global Synchronizer implements an economic model centered around Canton Coin, a native utility token. Apps that provide value to the Canton Network can earn and mint their own rewards. Hashnote is one of the first apps approved by the Global Synchronizer Foundation to be able to mint Canton Coin via application rewards, and USYC holders on Canton can earn validator rewards when interacting with USYC on the Network.

About Hashnote:

Hashnote is the world’s premier on-chain asset manager, employing the best parts of blockchain technology with the most trusted parts of traditional finance.

Invest in your travel experience and more with DeTrip

Published

on

DeTrip Network is reshaping the travel industry by introducing a Web3 platform tailored for crypto enthusiasts. Imagine platforms like Booking, Trip, Expedia, or Hotels—but with a crypto-friendly twist. DeTrip currently offers access to over 2.5 million hotels worldwide and accepts payments in more than 160 cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC. For those who prefer traditional methods, it also supports over 16 fiat payment options like Visa, Mastercard, Alipay, WeChat Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

Price-conscious travelers will be pleased to find that DeTrip often provides significant savings compared to major booking platforms. In many European cities, DeTrip’s hotel prices are generally 10-25% cheaper, frequently outperforming competitors like Booking.

Earning While Booking

What sets DeTrip apart is its generous cashback program. The platform offers up to 5% cashback on any booking made through its service. For instance, if you book a three-night stay in Amsterdam for €500, you’ll receive €25 worth of cryptocurrency as a reward. These cashback rewards are distributed in stablecoins like USDC, the MoFi token, and other tokens from premium partners.

The flexibility doesn’t end there. Travelers can use these tokens to pay for future bookings, offering more versatility than traditional hotel loyalty points. Unlike conventional point systems that lock you into a specific platform or hotel chain, DeTrip’s crypto rewards can be traded on secondary markets or held as an investment, potentially increasing in value over time.

A Glimpse into the Future

The DeTrip team has hinted at exciting developments on the horizon, including but not limit to anonymous booking, hotel listing feature, P2P payment etc. Originating from the MobiFi project, they currently utilize the $MoFi token as part of their rewards system. However, plans are underway to introduce a new token designed to better fit their expanding ecosystem. Unverified sources suggest that this new token will not only enhance the value of the current $MoFi token—allowing for a 1:1 swap for existing users—but also create broader utility within the travel industry.

Accolades and Recognition

DeTrip’s innovative approach hasn’t gone unnoticed. The team recently received two prestigious awards at the ETHGlobal Hackathon in Brussels: the Best ZK dApp from Polygon and the Most Creative Use Case from Worldcoin for their unique anonymous booking solution.

Conclusion

Traveling doesn’t have to drain your finances anymore. With DeTrip, you can explore the world while earning crypto assets, turning your travel expenses into potential investments. As the platform continues to evolve, it stands poised to offer even more value to travelers worldwide.

Web3 Social Phaver Launches $SOCIAL Token to Power the Creator Economy of the future

Published

on

Phaver, the leading multi-protocol Social app on Lens Protocol and Farcaster, has announced the much-anticipated launch of its token Phavercoin, carrying the easy-to-understand ticker $SOCIAL. With over half a million users, Phaver is the first mature app in the ecosystem to launch a native token. Premarket is now live on Aevo, with spot listings across exchanges next week.

Phaver’s native token $SOCIAL is designed to capture and redistribute value in a meritocratic manner to those who actually create it, the users. Phaver envisions a future where creators can natively monetize, and users are both owners and beneficiaries of their valuable social graph.

To combat the swarm of bots and multi-account farmers that often plague crypto projects and social apps alike – Phaver has validated all the Airdrop recipients based on a privacy-safe facial scan or the credibility of their wallet content, resulting in an audience of genuine users. And while the early adopters receive a 4% Phairdrop on Base during the TGE, an additional 25% of the token reserved for monthly Points-to-Tokens redemptions, ensuring both early users and newcomers remain engaged and fairly rewarded for their contributions.

Social media is one of the few clear value exchanges in the internet world: Creators, curators, and moderators create value for the audience, and the audience’s attention and admiration are also valuable. This means that, unlike many x-to-earn models, it’s actually possible to create a long-term sustainable token economy in SocialFi, which rewards those creating value and monetizes attention, premium content, and the desire for additional visibility or premium features in a way that can scale and prosper without the “ponzinomics” still prevalent in crypto, said Joonatan Lintala, CEO and co-founder of Phaver.

The $SOCIAL token will be tradeable on multiple exchanges such as Bybit, starting September 24th, with multiple launchpool opportunities to earn additional tokens. Phaver has also launched its second NFT collection, the Cred Passes, which are mintable on OpenSea until TGE, providing the most efficient way to reach and hold higher Levels on Phaver, unlocking more tokens in the monthly redemptions for next month and onwards.

Phaver’s unique approach to social media combines the best parts of Decentralised Social (DeSoc) and SocialFi. Phaver’s Supergraph enables free and seamless posting on both Lens and Farcaster, which, as decentralised protocols, help users to back up their social graph and content in places where they own it, ensuring they are never at the mercy of individuals, companies, or governments deleting their accounts. SocialFi, in turn, offers a novel way to gamify the experience,making it faster and easier to grow an audience, while fairly rewarding the best contributors with real value, not just exposure or Karma.

After building the DeSoc features and becoming the largest app on Lens and the largest 3rd party app on Farcaster, Phaver is doubling down on SocialFi following the token launch. Soon, users will enjoy gasless experiences using $SOCIAL inside the mobile app, featuring a built-in wallet for use cases such as tipping, gated content, gamified boosts, and item collection. Near-future updates also include a Web3-era ads model in partnership with Spindl, where users opt-in, get rewarded with Points, and can get a revenue share from sharing the Frames-based ads to their followers, privacy-safe wallet-based targeting and no invasive tracking. Furthermore, Phaver Perks will unlock numerous partner benefits from airdrops to discounts to Phaver’s validated users.

Phaver will also continue expanding the collection of native utility NFTs, which play a key role in the ecosystem and offer users ways to not only pay service fees, but also own and trade tangible assets that provide the same benefits.
