Huobi Announces Partnership with Tafabot

///

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 9th December, 2022, Chainwire


Revolutionary Artificial Intelligence trading and portfolio management company, Tafabot, has partnered with China’s leading Crypto exchange company, Huobi, to provide automated trades to crypto enthusiasts. 

What started as an idea during the COVID19 lockdown in 2020, is today one of the leading solutions in the crypto industry today. Having been in the beta phase for nearly 2 years, Tafabot finally went live on September 12th 2022 on the iOS and Google App Stores. 

The automated non-custodial trading bot has its operational headquarters in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, With across-border utility to serve millions of crypto professionals, newbies, and enthusiasts, Tafabot is the world’s pioneer bot system enabled for futures, spot and arbitrage markets combined. Both Huobi and Tafabot view their partnership as a strategic step towards improving the easy adoption of crypto and blockchain knowledge across communities around the world.

 Samuel Benedict and Dr. OVO (Otubo Victor), co-founders of Tafabot, said, “our primary motto, especially for now, is excellence and speed. We are glad that in just 50 days of going live, we have already closed a strategic partnership with one of the largest players in the industry. For us, it’s reassuring that what we are doing is really having a noticeable impact.”

Samuel Benedict, Tafabot’s CTO, expressed confidence in the ability of the partnership to unlock rapid inclusion and economic opportunities for all. “We didn’t like the traditional trading methods that existed out there. People had to constantly be on screens all day just to trade. Of course, this has discouraged a lot of interested persons from really getting their hands on crypto. And yes, there are also some other bots that came before us, but just like the exchanges, their processes are complex and do not bring in any simplicity. This was part of what inspired us to build an easy to use, reliable software that both newbies and pros can enjoy. We did it in the background for 2 years and once the power of Tafabot  was realized, we opened it to profit everyone.”

In further describing the partnership, the co-founders stated among other things that more partnership conversations are currently ongoing and will be announced in coming months. “Currently we are compatible with all major exchanges in the industry, however this partnership offers more. Our users are easily identified by Houbi for exclusive benefits including reduction on trading fees and much more. We are in talks with some other exchanges that we are plugged into for similar partnerships and 2023 will be a big year for more announcements.”, Benefit and Victor added.

With 30 of the world’s most reputable exchanges already plugged into the Tafabot algorithm, the team believes this is one of the next big things in crypto. Tafabot provides what is today, the world’s fastest automated trading tool, with a bot speed of up to 5 seconds. It is also one of the most diversified bot systems, with bot options developed for optimal performance in trading bullish, bearish and sideways market conditions.

It doesn’t matter wheather users are beginners who wants to dive into the world of crypto trading or professional traders, Tafabot’s automated systems provide every tool they need at every level. The safety of user’s funds is one less thing to worry about also, as the capital and trade profits are always with them, in the user’s exchange and never with Tafabot. This way users have all the control they need, anyday and any time.

DeFiChain’s Much Anticipated ‘Grand Central’ Hard Fork Goes Live

///

Singapore, Singapore, 8th December, 2022, Chainwire


 DeFiChain, the world’s leading blockchain on the Bitcoin network dedicated to bringing decentralized financial applications to everyone, has officially activated the much-anticipated Grand Central hard fork on its network at 01 AM EST on Thursday, December 8th on Block Height 2,479,000.

The Grand Central hard fork is one of the biggest and most monumental updates for DeFiChain in 2022. It marks the rollout of four main features:

  • On-chain governance
  • Token consortium framework
  • Support for masternode parameter updates (owner, operator, reward address)
  • Pool commission and reward fixes

This hard fork addresses some of the long-awaited product debt and prepares the DeFiChain community for an accelerated growth in 2023.

U-Zyn Chua, Co-Founder of DeFiChain, said, “Grand Central marks a major step in DeFiChain’s governance structure since it is implementing on-chain governance. This makes the voting processes perfectly transparent, easier and strengthens the governance structure of DeFiChain. A major step for the whole ecosystem.

On-chain governance

To make changes in the DeFiChain ecosystem, community members can submit three types of proposals to be voted on by masternode owners:

  1. Community development fund request proposal (also known as Community Fund Proposal; CFP)
  2. Vote of confidence (also known as DeFiChain Improvement Proposal; DFIP)
  3. Block reward reallocation proposal

Currently, the process of creating a proposal and voting is largely done off-chain. With On-Chain Governance (OCG), any proposal which requires voting by community can be conducted directly on the blockchain. It will strengthen DeFiChain’s governance structure and ensure that there is complete transparency in the entire voting process for the DeFiChain community.

The voting results will now be available real-time on a dashboard on defiscan.live, which makes tracking the results much easier. For masternode owners, they will be able to generate a script to vote for each proposal via the dashboard, reducing the effort required for voting. Overall, this would result in higher levels of participation in the voting of proposals.

DeFiChain Consortium

In DeFiChain, tokenized digital assets are meant to be backed 1:1 by the actual asset in its respective ecosystem (e.g. one dBTC being backed by one BTC). However, this backing is currently not enforceable via the blockchain. The DeFiChain Consortium will give a proper structure to the backing of dAssets to ensure that all digital assets are backed.

Members of the Consortium (e.g Cake DeFi) will have their own dedicated key for the minting and burning of tokenized digital assets. Each member is required to back any digital assets they mint, regardless of whether they are minting for themselves or on behalf of users of their platform.

The Consortium members will also be required to pledge two days worth of collateral, in DFI or DUSD, that will be locked up in a smart contract. It is required on top of the backing of the tokenized digital assets. This collateral will determine how many digital assets a member can mint each day.

This additional collateral is meant to deter members from engaging in activities that are contrary to the interests of the community, and to pay for damages in the event where a member overmints digital assets or is unable to provide backing for tokenized digital assets.

The formation of the Consortium will enhance the governance structure and transparency in the DeFiChain community. It also provides a mechanism for the community to monitor the backing of tokenized digital assets, which deters overminting.

About DeFiChain

DeFiChain is a decentralized Proof-of-Stake blockchain created as a hard fork of the Bitcoin network to enable advanced DeFi applications. It is dedicated to enabling fast, intelligent, and transparent decentralized financial services. DeFiChain offers liquidity mining, staking, decentralized assets, and decentralized loans. The DeFiChain Foundation’s mission is to bring DeFi to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Metacade Presale for Web3’s First-Ever P2E Crypto Arcade Raises Over $670k in Under 2 Weeks

///

London, United Kingdom, 8th December, 2022, Chainwire


Metacade, the first-ever community-developed play-to-earn (P2E) blockchain arcade, has announced the launch of its highly anticipated $MCADE token presale. 

The sale of Metacade’s native utility token sold over an incredible $670k in under 2 weeks, with their Beta Sale stage now over 60% SOLD OUT.

$MCADE is available to buy on the official Metacade website.

Positioning itself as a Web3 community hub, this gaming-first platform is set to attract gamers, investors, and entrepreneurs alike by offering a multitude of ways to earn, play, and connect. It looks to be a central hangout for all of those interested in GameFi and metaverse. 

To ensure investor confidence, $MCADE has been audited by leading blockchain auditing firm CertiK, a security-focused platform that analyzes and monitors blockchain protocols and DeFi projects. Verification and approval from CertiK mean that the code behind Metacade is highly secure and has been scrutinized for any weak spots. 

Metacade harnesses the power of Web3 to take blockchain gaming to the next level. The project goes beyond play-to-earn and offers a place to discover what games are trending, view leaderboards, publish game reviews, and access the hottest and most advanced GameFi alpha.

Head of Product for Metacade, Russell Bennet said: “The crypto gaming space is crying out for a single destination where we can all go and learn, earn and play games with fellow enthusiasts without having to jump from platform to platform”.

Metacade isn’t out to just improve the existing P2E and metaverse worlds but also to foster the future of this space. The project’s hallmark feature is Metagrants, a source of funding awarded to game developers to bring new games to the Metacade. The Metacade community will vote on which projects get funded to turn the collective vision into a reality on the platform. The first game developed using the first Metagrant will be launched in 2024.

By the end of 2024, the project intends to transform into a DAO, handing over key roles and responsibilities to the Metacade community and achieving a fully community-staffed business. It looks to achieve this by deploying Play2Earn, Create2Earn, and Work2Earn functionalities with each of these initiatives giving a little more control of the project over to the community in the coming years. 

Reflecting on the core ethos of Metacade, Russell said: “We want to create a community that has zero barriers to entry whether you want to work in the space, launch a business or just hang, out, play, and have fun.”

$MCADE has a fixed supply of 2 Billion $MCADE tokens. Seventy percent of these (1.4 billion $MCADE tokens) are being made available during the token’s presale event. The remaining thirty percent will be used on exchange listings, during development, providing liquidity, and funding the competition pool. 

$MCADE is the utility and governance token powering the project. It plays a crucial role in the platform’s functionality as holders can use it to vote on the project’s future direction and new game proposals. It will be the main tool for interacting with the Metacade ecosystem: holders can use it to enter tournaments and exclusive prize draws, purchase merchandise, and many other things as the platform develops. 

Token holders will have plenty of opportunities to earn rewards through the project. $MCADE holders can earn from activities such as contributing content, reviewing and testing games, and generally engaging within the ecosystem. $MCADE holders may also stake their tokens in liquidity pools to earn rewards and APYs based on the amount staked. Staked rewards are paid in a stablecoin amount rather than in $MCADE to protect the value of the funds from inflation and price swings. 

To further promote a deflationary attribute to the token, Metacade plans on introducing a burn mechanism or a buyback scheme. Token burning will help the ecosystem permanently erase a given percentage of supply, thereby lowering the overall supply and boosting the value of $MCADE in the long run.

Right after the $MCADE presale is complete, Metacade will roll out the website and build a founding team. In Q1 2023, the goal is to list the $MCADE token on Uniswap and the top five centralized exchanges, along with popular crypto aggregators. With an ambitious road map, Metacade is on track to revolutionize how a traditional community hub is owned and operated.

The Metacade Beta sale has now sold over $670,000 worth of tokens in under two weeks and at the time of publishing has under 40% remaining. 

To buy $MCADE, visit Metacade.co and join the presale now. 

About GameFi
GameFi, one of the most talked about and promising sectors of Web3, creates a virtual gaming ecosystem that relies on the use of cryptocurrency, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and blockchain technology. At the core of the GameFi ecosystem is the play-to-earn (P2E) gaming model. Unlike the traditional pay-to-play model, P2E allows gamers to earn financial rewards by participating in challenges and tasks.

About Metacade
Metacade is the premier destination for gaming in the metaverse. As Web3’s first community arcade that allows gamers to hang out, share gaming knowledge and play exclusive P2E games. The platform offers users multiple ways to generate income, build careers in Web3, and connect with the wider gaming community. 

Metacade will be the one-stop destination for users to play, earn, and network with other passionate gamers worldwide. Once the project reaches the end of its roadmap, Metacade will be handed over to the community as a full-fledged DAO. After all, Metacade wants you to have a hand in shaping the GameFi world of tomorrow.

Polkadot co-founder gives keynote outlining network upgrades for 2023

//

Polkadot co-founder and Parity Technologies chief architect Gavin Wood joined hundreds of the most talented engineers and developers in Web3 at Sub0, the conference for Polkadot developers.

Wood gave an impromptu keynote address providing insights into how the various upgrades already flagged for the network would play out in 2023. In particular, he focused on XCM, the network’s cross-channel and cross-consensus messaging protocol, and OpenGov, the new agile, more decentralized governance process for the network.

A rapt capacity audience — around half of whom were new to the ecosystem and had declared an interest in building on Polkadot — were engrossed by Wood’s surprise address.

Parity’s newly appointed CEO Bjorn Wagner had earlier kicked off the two-day meeting at Lisbon’s LX Factory with an introductory talk before a busy agenda featuring breakout sessions, Q&As and developer workshops wound into gear. Many of the agenda items demonstrated the breadth of use cases being explored by Polkadot developers via XCM as they continue to be among the busiest in Web3. Data from Santiment shows over 14,000 developer contributions on the Polkadot network for every month between August and November 2022.

While some of the talks were explicitly targeted at developers with strong experience of Polkadot, its software development kit Substrate and the Rust programming language, there was also plenty of explanatory material for those still learning about the network.

Some of the event’s highlights include:

  • Focusing on the ambition for Polkadot to be a best-in-class offering for a strong user experience, Jakub Panik of Galactic Council spoke of the importance of respecting end users and keeping their requirements front of mind.
  • Hector Bulgarini of Parity Technologies provided a case study demonstrating how real-world assets can serve as collateral in the world of DeFi through XCM.
  • Sabine Proll of Supercomputing Systems AG explained how blockchain builds efficiencies when managing interlocking railway systems.
  • Seun Lanlege of Composable Finance explained some of the cryptographic and game-theoretical components of trustless bridges, and delivered an overview of cross-consensus trustless bridges.
  • Alberto Viera of Moonbeam provided details of useful scripts and monitoring tools to consider when exploring XCM for token transfers and remote executions.
  • In a talk followed by questions, Bill Laboon of Web3 Foundation explained what differentiates Web3 from Web2 in a philosophical and technical way.
  • Jonathan Dunne of Talisman discussed his experience of creating user-centric products with Substrate, including demystifying extrinsics with metadata and creating unstoppable connections with Light Clients.

About Polkadot

Polkadot provides the technical advances necessary to make blockchain technology practical, accessible, scalable, interoperable and future-proof, removing limitations and barriers to entry, and thereby fueling innovation, growing the decentralized technology space and bringing the Web3 vision to life.

About Parity Technologies

Staffed by some of the world’s leading blockchain innovators, core engineers, Rust developers and solutions architects, Parity Technologies has offices in Berlin, London and Lisbon. It launched Polkadot in tandem with Web3 technology.

About Web3 Foundation

Web3 Foundation funds research and development teams building the technology stack of the decentralized web. It was established in Zug, Switzerland by Ethereum co-founder and former chief technology officer Gavin Wood. Polkadot is the foundation’s flagship project.


The Fabricant Launches Wholeland: The Ultimate Web3 Fashion Experience

///

Amsterdam, Netherlands, 5th December, 2022, Chainwire


Pioneering startup The Fabricant has gone live with its boundary-pushing digital fashion storytelling project Wholeland, with a trailer that sets the scene for a provocative world that splices digital couture, mythology and the rave scene. 

The ambitious move is designed to raise the bar for the wider digital fashion industry, and lead a shift in focus away from the bear market to building Web3 experiences that create long-term, high-value engagement.

The OG digital fashion player is famous for its world-leading craftsmanship, gaining global prominence when it was founded as the world’s first digital fashion house in 2018. It sold the first-ever digital garment on blockchain for 54 ETH in 2019 ($9,500 at the time). Notable collabs with physical brands such as Off-White, Adidas and World of Women contributed to it raising $14M in Series A funding in April this year.

Wholeland is described as a digital fashion story and a visually rich journey of self-discovery that unfolds across 7 chapters. Each chapter includes digital couture, AR wearables, co-creation, fashion shows, metaverse meet-ups and airdrops.

Access to Wholeland can only be gained through minting one of The Fabricant’s pieces of AR facewear, called XXories, that act as a key to the wider experience. 

Anyone can apply to Join the waitlist to mint an XXorie through The Fabricant website.

The WHOLELAND concept asks participants to fearlessly express all that they are through digital fashion, exploring parts of their identity that they might not share in the physical world.

Digital fashion fans will see the story unfold as they journey through the different chapters, with the ability to take advantage of various benefits as they progress.

Wholeland’s opening chapter has multiple points of interaction for participants:

  • The XXories, 7 pieces of bold digital facewear that elevate virtual self-expression, and act as a key to the experience
  • The Kappers – headpieces that mix historic Dutch style with a contemporary clubland aesthetic ready for co-creation
  • The Looks, Couture garments that invite fearless digital fashion expression
  • Secret Drops and groundbreaking collabs with the hottest digital artists and innovative brands
  • And ultimately, the Wholeland metaverse – an immersive digital fashion world of highly crafted visual storytelling

It all starts with the mint of the XXories in February, so sign-up to the waitlist to get access to the most innovative fashion experience in Web3.

Through its co-creation platform, it is leading a digital fashion revolution that puts creators first and is committed to building a sustainable and equitable fashion industry where everybody thrives.

Dash 2 Trade’s presale to soon end amid ‘unprecedented investor demand’

//

Crypto-intelligence platform Dash 2 Trade continues to make waves after announcing that it will soon end its presale due to unprecedented investor demand.

With over $7.5 million in funding raised since the presale commenced, Dash 2 Trade’s team has opted to bring forward the platform’s release to aid traders and investors during today’s volatile trading environment. 

All eyes will be on the development team’s next move since major centralized exchange (CEX) listings and a dashboard beta are now confirmed.

Unprecedented market conditions prompt hard-cap revision

Most (if not all) crypto investors will be aware of the ongoing volatility stemming from FTX’s collapse. This volatility has created a challenging investment environment for everyone — but particularly for beginner traders. 

Due to this, Dash 2 Trade’s team has opted to cut the presale hard cap to $13.4 million. This means that the presale phase will end after Stage 4 rather than Stage 9, which was initially planned.

At the time of writing, Dash 2 Trade is still in Stage 3, meaning early investors can buy D2T tokens for just $0.0513. However, once the presale moves into Stage 4, D2T’s price will increase to $0.0533. Ultimately, this means that purchasing D2T now will enable investors to get in at the lowest price point possible.

Upcoming beta phase for Dash 2 Trade’s features

The creation of Dash 2 Trade’s crypto analytics ecosystem has gathered pace in recent weeks, with the development team revealing that the ecosystem will be ready to launch much quicker than initially anticipated.

As per Dash 2 Trade’s roadmap, certain features will enter a beta phase in the coming weeks, enabling traders and investors to get a taste of what the complete ecosystem will offer.

To this end, Dash 2 Trade has bought on board Ilyes Kooli as the project’s new chief technology officer. Kooli has extensive experience within the crypto market, having previously held a prominent role at ConsenSys.

By combining Kooli’s expertise with the experience of Dash 2 Trade’s team, there’s a genuine belief that the upcoming crypto analytics platform could reshape the trading experience for millions of investors worldwide.

Major CEX listings are already confirmed

However, Dash 2 Trade isn’t stopping there. Recently, major CEX LBank announced that it would list D2T tokens “soon.”

Not only that, but BitMart has also opted to get on board and will soon list D2T tokens.

LBank and BitMart are both listed by CoinMarketCap as two of the world’s top 25 crypto exchanges as measured by daily trading volume. With over 3.3 million weekly visits between them, the listing of D2T is sure to dramatically boost awareness.

However, as noted on Dash 2 Trade’s website, the team plans to make this just the beginning of a historical journey by facilitating additional centralized and decentralized exchange listings in Q1 2023. The liquidity these listings provide would be a significant driver of price, which is why investors worldwide are so hyped about D2T’s future.

An all-in-one crypto analytics ecosystem set to revolutionize the industry

But why are CEXs so eager to list D2T tokens ahead of the project’s official launch? The main reason for this appears to be Dash 2 Trade’s unique use case, which is needed more than ever following FTX’s collapse. 

Dash 2 Trade’s ecosystem has been specifically designed to help traders navigate challenging market conditions. The ecosystem’s features empower traders to identify trending cryptocurrencies and develop strategies to trade them effectively.

In addition, Dash 2 Trade will feature a custom-built presale scoreboard that employs an array of metrics to help traders assess whether a new project is up to scratch. The ecosystem will even offer regular trading signals and an exclusive Discord server where individuals can network and share ideas.

Since Dash 2 Trade is being developed by the team behind Learn 2 Trade, a 70,000-strong trading education company, there’s a fundamental belief that the platform could become the go-to for beginners and advanced investors.

New website and community manager highlight Dash 2 Trade’s ambitions

Dash 2 Trade’s development team hasn’t just been focusing on the analytics ecosystem — they’ve also made some huge moves from a marketing perspective.

Firstly, Dash 2 Trade has recently launched a brand-new website, complete with a breakdown of what the platform does and how investors can get involved in the ongoing presale. The website also provides access to Dash 2 Trade’s white paper and roadmap.

Moreover, Dash 2 Trade’s team has a clear focus on safety and reliability, evidenced by the contract code being fully audited by SolidProof. The team is also Know Your Customer-verified by CoinSniper.

Secondly, Trevor M. has been brought on board to expand Dash 2 Trade’s reach and grow its social channels. Trevor is a well-known video producer working for CoinMarketCap and runs a successful YouTube channel.

Trevor’s knowledge of the crypto market and ability to simplify complex topics will likely be invaluable when introducing new traders to the Dash 2 Trade ecosystem. For those already familiar with it, this is another massive step toward making Dash 2 Trade a global phenomenon.

How to buy D2T — A quick step-by-step Guide

Those looking to get involved in the Dash 2 Trade presale and buy D2T tokens at a discount can do so by following the four steps below:

  • Step 1 — Create a crypto wallet: Download and set up a MetaMask wallet (desktop users) or a Trust Wallet (mobile users). Once set up, import the D2T token contract address, which can be found on the Dash 2 Trade website.
  • Step 2 — Obtain Crypto: Buy Ether ETH$1,250 or Tether USDT$1.00 from a broker or exchange or using a credit or debit card directly through D2T’s website.
  • Step 3 — Link wallet to the presale dashboard: Click “Connect Wallet” and follow the instructions.
  • Step 4 — Buy D2T tokens: Click “Buy with ETH” or “Buy with USDT” and confirm the transaction.

US Intellectual Property Office Grants Full Patent Approval for Rewarded Video by Verasity

//

London, United Kingdom, 23rd November, 2022, Chainwire


Verasity, an open-ledger ecosystem designed to provide rewarded video services and prevent advertising fraud, announced today that it has received full patent approval for its rewarded video system and method in the United States (with international priority). The patent approval represents Verasity’s most significant milestone in protecting and licensing its rewarded video technology to date.

Rewarded video is any type of incentivised viewing that provides rewards to users for watching a video. The rewarded video format is particularly popular in mobile gaming, where users may receive in-game credits, items, currency, or even traditional cash as a reward for watching video content or ads displayed within an app. All of these types of rewarded video would now fall under Verasity’s patent, entitled ‘System and Method for Reward Video Viewing’, and for which license fees will be due.

Within the Verasity ecosystem, rewarded video is made available through a feature named Watch & Earn. Comprising a rewarded viewing video distribution module and a video player, Watch & Earn can present video content to a user and provide the viewer with marketplace credit based on the value of the video or advertisement they watch.

However, Verasity’s awarded patent more broadly covers any video in any digital format for which a reward is granted to the viewer – opening up a whole host of new business and licensing opportunities.

Highlighting the significance of the patent, R J Mark, Founder & CEO at Verasity, says:

“Rewarded video is a huge and rapidly expanding market. This patent is the culmination of years of hard work by the Verasity team to secure an internationally recognised patent for the rewarded video market. This patent covers all forms of video where a user receives any type of reward for watching a video on a digital platform. Rewarded video has already been deployed by leading games companies such as Blizzard Activision, and major video platforms such as YouTube which may now be infringing our patent. As Verasity has been awarded the US patent for all forms of rewarded video, we intend to use this patent to its full effect, pursuing license opportunities for all platforms providing rewards to video viewers, which is now protected by our patent. The revenue generated from these license deals will be used for VRA buybacks.”

The rewarded patent application can be viewed here. Verasity will now seek opportunities to license its rewarded video technology and ensure its intellectual property is protected within the scope of this patent for all forms of rewarded video.

About Verasity 

Verasity is an open-ledger ecosystem designed to fight advertising fraud, provide open access to infrastructure for publishers and advertisers, and reward users for watching video content. With product verticals in the advertising, eSports, and video player industries, Verasity ties together its ecosystem with its patented ‘Proof of View’ blockchain-based technology. The $VRA token, which is used for funding advertising campaigns, staking through VeraWallet, and distributing Watch & Earn rewards, is central to the Verasity ecosystem as a single utility token with a whole host of applications.

DeSo is the first layer-1 blockchain capable of supporting content-rich social applications, and has raised over $200 million in funding from Sequoia, Andreesen Horowitz, Coinbase, CAA, and others. DeSo is well positioned to power next-generation web3 apps that give more ownership, transparency, and control to both creators and their fans.

After years spent building the category-defining technology underlying the platform, DeSo has now hired Salil Shah to scale the business.  Shah has deep experience in business development, go-to-market, and partner ecosystems, most recently leading global go-to-market for Meta’s Fintech group.  

With Shah’s expertise, DeSo is primed to accelerate its mission to re-imagine the creator economy, and expand the scope of web3 from purely financial applications to creator-focused social applications.

“Empowering and supporting creators is a mission I’m deeply passionate about,” Shah says. Shah adds that DeSo has built “the first blockchain platform that allows social content to be stored directly on-chain, giving creators more ownership, the ability to engage with fans across platforms, and the opportunity to build direct financial relationships with fans.”

“I’m excited to join this incredible team and partner with Nader to build the business as the industry moves towards the next phase of the creator internet, powered by web3,” he continues.

Shah will complement DeSo founder Nader Al-Naji’s deep technical expertise with his extensive business experience as a tech executive and strategy leader.

Leading an Emerging Category

Shah joins as the emerging category of “decentralized social” is showing signs of early growth, with DeSo recently experiencing 120% month-over-month growth (following 160% growth the previous month).

“This growth is being driven by DeSo’s ecosystem of hundreds of third-party apps, which are now starting to find retention,” says Al-Naji. For example, Diamond and Desofy have earned creators over $20 million in their early days off of novel monetization primitives like social tipping, social NFTs, and social tokens.

Several promising apps have recently launched on the DeSo platform, including Pearl, a web3 Instagram, NFTz, a decentralized NFT marketplace, and DAODAO, a social Kickstarter-like fundraising tool.  And tools like OpenProsper, a social block explorer, provide data and insights into the growing DeSo ecosystem of developers, partners, and users.

“We’re seeing a flywheel start to form,” says Al-Naji. “Now that we have a seed of users and content, developers are building apps like never before, which is growing usage and content even more in a virtuous cycle.”
