September 13, 2022, marks the date of an unprecedented Learn&Earn campaign led by a recent Web3 Unicorn Unstoppable Domains and a leading global crypto educator BitDegree.
Companies join forces to distribute up to $50 million worth of NFT domains to all students who complete any Web3-related course on the BitDegree platform.
“BitDegree and Unstoppable Domains have agreed to reward people who invest their time learning about crypto and Web3, incentivizing them to learn more and attracting newcomers to Web3 through learning. Web3 adoption will happen faster if we make the crypto community deepen its knowledge. So, we have decided to launch a massive campaign to capture the world’s attention – which we believe is the biggest Learn&Earn campaign in the history of crypto. In particular, we want our students to learn about the Web3 identity as the time is ripe for its adoption,” – Danielius Stasiulis, CEO and Co-Founder of BitDegree.
The 30-day Learn&Earn campaign aims to bring Web3 closer to the people by educating the existing crypto community and industry newbies. Students who completed any Web3 course before this campaign will also be able to claim a free NFT domain.
To signify the importance of the Web3 identity and its potential, BitDegree developed a dedicated LearnDrop course: NFT Domains: The Future of Web3 Identity. It is dedicated to educating students on the issues related to digital identities and solves a global lack of learning opportunities covering this topic.
“Web3 is still in its dial-up days, and education is the key to getting more people started. That’s why we’re so excited to help more people start their Web3 journey through this campaign,” – Sandy Carter, SVP and Channel Chief of Unstoppable Domains.
In Web2, our likes, comments, purchases, passwords, and posts are controlled by a handful of large tech companies that gather this data. Web3 identity enables individuals to have a single login and a portable digital identity that they own and control.
As an advocate of decentralization, Web3 identities, and user empowerment, BitDegree also supports Login with Unstoppable, a single-sign-on product by Unstoppable Domains. Login with Unstoppable allows BitDegree students to log in with their NFT Domain and keep control of their data.
This partnership with Unstoppable Domains is the most recent for BitDegree. The company’s goal is to educate the crypto community about exciting crypto businesses and projects through the prism of the issues they solve. In the near future Unstoppable will be delivering profile badges to BitDegree students that have finished a web3 course.
Earlier this year, BitDegree announced transitioning into Learnoverse – the first crypto learning metaverse. All current and future crypto content and features developed by the Web3 learning platform or its partners will be transferred to Learnoverse.

Tron is thrilled to announce that Wintermute is now the official market maker for TRX and a strategic partner of the entire Tron ecosystem. In this capacity, Wintermute will provide liquidity for major TRX pairs across various exchanges, boosting greater accessibility to the TRX token. This strong alliance will foster further growth of Tron as the go-to global layer-1 blockchain.
“This latest partnership between Wintermute and Tron is an extension of our efforts to partner with leading DeFi projects and offer our support through what we do best: making markets more liquid. We’re thrilled for the opportunity to contribute to the Tron ecosystem as a liquidity provider.” – David Micley, director of business development at Wintermute.
Earlier this month, Wintermute became the latest whitelisted member to join the Tron DAO Reserve, gaining access to minting and redeeming USDD, the overcollateralized decentralized stablecoin powered by the Tron network.
Wintermute provides liquidity for digital assets and, as a leading global market maker, has helped a multitude of high-profile projects. Wintermute has a selective approval process before it begins partnering with a particular digital asset. Accordingly, Wintermute has a track record of working with the most prominent projects, which is further strengthened by its partnership with Tron and USDD.
Other market-making initiatives that Wintermute will provide for Tron’s native utility token, TRX, include providing coverage across centralized and decentralized exchanges, fostering more competitive spreads during all types of market conditions, offering insights on market conditions to help create a sustainable liquidity model and more. Wintermute will also provide strategic guidance to help better the Tron ecosystem.
Every major project in the Web3 space needs a reliable and innovative market maker. Wintermute aims to drive a tailored model, using the initiatives mentioned above, to reduce market takers or crypto whales’ influence over asset prices.
Such an approach leads to a more decentralized ecosystem that allows for greater user autonomy. Wintermute is lowering barriers for general market participants by providing liquidity on major exchanges, which, in turn, reduces disruptions and slippage during trading.
Tron is proud to partner with Wintermute strategically and looks forward to continuing to work toward their shared goal to decentralize the web.
About Tron DAO
Tron is dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and decentralized applications. Founded in September 2017 by Justin Sun, the Tron network has continued to deliver impressive achievements since the mainnet launch in May 2018.

Organizers of Europe’s most-anticipated Ethereum hackathon confirmed that applications for ETHLisbon 2022 are officially open, and the first badge of hackers will be notified of their admission by the end of this week. Between Oct. 28 and Oct. 30, Ethereum builders will get together in teams to earn sponsor bounties or kick-start their own idea. Applications will be open right up until the event; hackers have the chance to secure their spot here.
What is Lisbon Blockchain Week and why is it a must?
Hosted by some of the most legitimate names in the industry, the hackathon aims to provide the best possible experience to builders.
Lightshift Capital, 1kx and Activate are partnering up to take hackathons to the next level. In 2021, this successfully attracted thousands of crypto enthusiasts from all over the world to Portugal. Subsequently, Lisbon Blockchain Month was started as a community initiative for everyone who wanted to get involved and plan a complementary side event.
Not unlike ETHDenver, the event turned into an opportunity to meet and build alongside some of the biggest names in the industry: Austin Griffith, Stani and Protolambda participated as judges and mentors during the hackathon.
This makes an equal or better 2022 lineup promising. Although judges and mentors are not announced yet, the 2022 edition will be sponsored by even more quality projects: Wallet Connect, ZKsync, IPFS/Filecoin, Euler Finance, Gnosis Chain, Ledger and, according to the organizers, more to come.
Lisbon, which was already a paradise for entrepreneurs and digital nomads quickly accelerated into a European crypto hub following Lisbon Blockchain Week. The rich culture, developed infrastructure, climate and proximity to the ocean attract talent from all over the world. Simão Cruz, managing partner of Lightshift Capital, described it as the following: “We can definitely feel the growing network and community spaces for crypto enthusiasts. People are coming here to be part of something bigger and events like ETHLisbon are important to use these new-found synergies and create more opportunities for everyone.”
How can you participate?
Hackers can apply to hack through the official website. Non-coders and those who want to contribute in other ways can start their own side event and submit it to the Lisbon Blockchain Month website — the organizers strongly encourage diversity and participation during these days.
Most importantly, Lisbon is the perfect city to travel to for learning, networking and experiencing a unique, in-person community movement.

The team at Magpie Protocol is pleased to announce that its $3-million Seed round has been completed.
With Jump’s assistance, Magpie Protocol is poised for success and is additionally supported by notable investors, such as Sandeep Nailwal, GSR Markets, ParaFi Capital, Republic Capital, Big Brain Holdings, Serafund, Faculty Group, MH Ventures, D1 Ventures, ArkStream, Apollo Capital and more.
After seeing what Magpie Protocol is developing and offering to the crypto space, Jump Crypto — which looks for projects full of passion for decentralized finance (DeFi), focused on innovation and is full of engineers, investors and traders consumed by building the future of DeFi — made the decision to cement itself as the lead investor in the project.
“As the crypto infrastructure landscape expands multichain, Magpie’s cross-chain liquidity aggregation protocol and array of other cross-chain microservices offer the much-needed abstraction layer and seamless execution for the end-user.” — Saurabh Sharma, head of investments at Jump Crypto
Next is GSR Markets, which partners with brave and brilliant entrepreneurs who are building the future of finance. GSR works with cryptocurrency projects at crucial points in their life cycle, providing robust liquidity that helps enable their technology. Together, we’re going to change the landscape of DeFi and the global economy. We’re very excited to be supported by them.
“We’re excited to be working with the Magpie Protocol team as they continue expanding decentralized liquidity provision to clients through bridgeless, cross-chain liquidity aggregation.” — GSR Markets
Republic Capital selects investments based on business fundamentals with a focus on unit economics, strategy and the opportunity to disrupt a market. Everyone believes in Magpie Protocol to be a part of this changing of the future of DeFi and the global market.
“We are thrilled to be early backers of Magpie and its team. Interoperability is a key component of the crypto ecosystem, and we believe Magpie’s solution is one of the most elegant and easiest to use in the space.” — Republic Capital
Magpie Protocol is a decentralized liquidity aggregation protocol for cross-chain swaps aiming to provide the best deal on any asset across top blockchains without the need to bridge assets independently. Instead, our novel architecture uses bridges primarily as a data transfer layer to communicate swap signals between chains. The result is an extremely fast and secure solution to cross-chain swaps.
Bridge security concerns are at the forefront of DeFi at this time, being a crucial component in promoting the trustless and inclusive foundations upon which DeFi is built. Most bridges are custodial, meaning users must entrust their tokens with the security of the bridge by locking assets in a smart contract. This centralization of bridged assets creates single points of failure, which can put multiple ecosystems in danger if they are exploited.
A recent report by Chainalysis, a blockchain data platform, estimates a total of $2 billion in cryptocurrency has been stolen from cross-chain bridges in 2022 alone. This goes to prove that creating a secure cross-chain bridge solution is a must in DeFi.
Magpie is a project that was incubated by Saxon, which helps idea-stage crypto entrepreneurs to launch game-changing DeFi and infrastructure projects. They provide holistic support, spanning from product market fit and business development to tokenomics and fundraising.
“It’s been a pleasure working with Ali and the wider Magpie team to bring this disruptive approach to cross-chain swaps to market. With the launch of a new generation of L1s just around the corner, the timing could hardly be better.” — Ultan Miller, Saxon managing partner
Magpie’s architecture uses bridges to communicate swap signals between chains, without the need to lock, burn or mint assets on or within a bridge. By combining an off-chain liquidity network and bridge liquidity with a proprietary liquidity aggregation protocol, Magpie is chain-agnostic, meaning it is compatible and able to initiate swaps for the desired token on any chain, without limiting factors as other aggregation protocols, and whether or not the chain is Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible or not. Not only does this result in near instant finality for users but it also enables Magpie to be fully noncustodial by keeping assets in control of the user rather than a third party or bridge, which greatly improves the security of users’ assets.
“I’d like to personally thank all of our investors and team members for your support in Magpie. We’re all incredibly proud of the work the team has done thus far, but it’s only the beginning. Now the work begins for the next round of funding as well as preparing to launch our private and public alpha testing events in the coming weeks. It has been an amazing journey so far, and we have a lot in store for us in the coming years.” — Ali Raheman, CEO and founder of Magpie Protocol
At the time of writing, Magpie Protocol is compatible with many established chains and DeFi protocols, including Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche and BNB Chain. Additionally, we have announced plans to expand to Fantom, Solana and other blockchains in the near future.
On the back of this successful raise, Magpie Protocol will continue expanding strategic relationships and partnerships once its private alpha testing has concluded.

BIFROST, a universal multi-chain technology platform, enters the native cross-chain lending market with a plan to eliminate widespread reliance on wrapped tokens.
BIFROST Finance (BiFi) is a multi-chain, decentralized money market that offers lending services across the Ethereum, Avalanche, BNB Chain and Klaytn networks. The release, unlike other decentralized finance (DeFi) services, relies on BIFROST’s interoperability technology to make it more scalable and transparent, while simultaneously enabling BiFi to natively integrate Bitcoin (BTC) into the Ethereum-based market.
The result is that with its release, users can borrow Ethereum-based assets against their BTC native to the Bitcoin (BTC) network, without having to trust issuers of wrapped tokens, such as Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC).
Effectively, by enabling an efficient cross-chain money market, as well as other DeFi apps, the primary use case for wrapped tokens will be virtually eliminated. Preserving a design that relies on native tokens allows users to keep the security guarantees of the underlying network that, to a large extent, makes native assets valuable in the first place. Wrapped tokens, on the contrary, are only as secure as the multi-signature wallet that is used for the custody of the bridged assets.
Steps towards a multi-chain future
The BIFROST team’s announcement about BiFi comes at a pivotal time. Consider that the industry as a whole is trending toward a multi-chain future, a reality indicated by the rise of activity on alternative Layer-1 solutions following last year’s DeFi summer. It was then that the world saw the benefits of DeFi applications on Ethereum sidechains, and L1s started gaining traction for two reasons: the high Ethereum gas fees that priced out many users and the exposure of users to new ecosystems.
These new ecosystems presented significant opportunities, often fueled by incentives that were put in place. Unfortunately, many of these users also wanted to keep exposure to their assets that are native to the Ethereum network.
For instance, an Ether (ETH) holder wanting to get exposure to the Avalanche ecosystem, which is incentivized by the Avalanche Foundation, would bridge their Ether to the Avalanche network first. Then they would borrow stablecoins on Aave against the Ether and buy Avalanche (AVAX), or some other token native to the Avalanche network, that they could use in other DeFi applications.
As bridges attracted tens of billions of dollars in total value locked, they also became the most lucrative targets for hackers, and a series of exploits followed shortly thereafter. According to Rekt.news, four out of the five largest crypto hacks recorded are due to vulnerabilities related to token bridges, for a total of more than $1.5 billion in capital lost.
While smart contracts also have vulnerabilities that led to exploits, the consequences were typically the same. As the smart contract on one chain was drained, the wrapped assets issued on the other chain became worthless too, since the collateral backing them was stolen.
The logical conclusion to these vulnerabilities is simple — a solution like BiFi that allows users to borrow native tokens, resulting in a significant reduction of risk. Even in a worst-case scenario, users would still have control of the native tokens they borrowed.
A native lending network that keeps growing
Now, with the BIFROST network’s mainnet launch around the corner, BiFi is preparing to gradually add native lending on other chains, starting with Polkadot, BNB Chain and Avalanche. The BIFROST team is excited to provide this novel technology to solve an ever-present weakness in the current state of DeFi.
About BIFROST
Founded in 2016, BIFROST was born when a team of experienced finance, computer science, quantitative trading and fintech developers came together with the goal of turning the promise of blockchain into a widespread reality. The team, which now comprises trusted advisors from Coinplug, Blockwater Management, Block Crafters and Kaist engineering, has since turned this mission into creating a truly multi-chain technology. To display the platform’s full potential, the team continues to build out its leading DeFi offering, BiFi, completely powered by BIFROST.
ZeeroZone and Ethereum are two platforms leveraging blockchain technology to address issues associated with traditional games. These decentralized platforms offer NFTs, which improve the experience of online gaming.
Similarly, NFTs address the problem of centralized ownership of assets which causes gamers to overspend in traditional gaming.
Zeerozone and Ethereum profer solutions to limited payment systems that have secluded gamers in regions where the payment platforms do not function.
ZeeroZone and Ethereum
Zeerozone (ZEZO), like other blockchain games, has made gaming a commercial activity. Here, players explore the ecosystem and use spaceships for hunting for treasures.
Further, they increase their chance of success by allying with other players. If the alliance succeeds, they can mint whatever treasures they find into NFTs and sell them on the NFT marketplace.
Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) is an open-source platform that provides solutions like decentralized finance, digital currencies, and decentralized applications (e.g., blockchain games).
After Bitcoin, Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency project in terms of market cap. Moreover, Ethereum’s smart contract framework allows developers to launch NFTs.
How ZeeroZone and Ethereum revolutionize gaming with NFTs
Centralized gaming platforms spend lots of time, energy, and resources building games. Therefore, they always control all in-game assets and currencies. Also, they use every opportunity to bill players and recover their expenses.
Players usually purchase cosmetics and items to boost their game characters to progress to the next level. Despite the amount spent on these items, the developers eventually retain the money and value of the assets.
