Ternoa is a carbon neutral blockchain that is designed for minting NFTs. Specifically, it is a cross-chain NFT network and allows developers to build decentralised apps (dApps) and Web3 games on their network.
It is the first blockchain ecosystem that offers secure data encryption and transmission through the use of non-fungible tokens. As a result of this technology, users can gain full control over their private data, with the option of long-term storage of 20, 50, and even over 100 years.
Ternoa is powered by Polkadot, and it is one of the most promising cross-chain NFT networks in existence.

NAGAX is bringing its popular crypto trading hub to mobile users with the launch of its first Android and iOS apps today.
With them, NAGAX platform users will now be able to keep up to date on the latest cryptocurrency price fluctuations, trade, chat with other users and learn from anywhere through their mobile device.
Crypto traders love NAGAX because it’s one of the first-ever social trading platforms for the crypto markets. Social trading refers to a popular strategy among investors, where they simply copy the trades of other users, rather than spend hours trying to analyze where the market is going and generate a profit off their own back.
NAGAX can be thought of as a trading platform crossed with Facebook, with its main feature being the NAGAX Feed, where any trader can post anything they want related to the markets, their trades and strategy, and discuss their favorite coins and stocks.
Building on this social aspect is NAGAX’s centerpiece Autocopy feature, which enables users to copy another user’s trades with a zero slippage guarantee, for a flat fee of just $1. The idea with social trading is that it allows unprofitable traders to follow the strategy of seasoned users who do make regular profits from their trades. It means users can simply pay to succeed, rather than spend hours trying to analyze charts and trends.
The mobile version of NAGAX provides access to both of these features as well as more than 70 cryptocurrency trading pairs, plus additional markets such as stocks and derivatives. Users can open the app at any time and access their NAGAX Wallet, where they can manage their crypto assets and send and receive tokens to other wallet addresses.
Users can make a trade at any time through the NAGAX Exchange tab, whether they’re on the bus riding to work, drinking coffee in a cafe during their lunch break, or laying in bed about to sleep. Other features include a search function to quickly discover assets, and analysis charts that cover seven different time frames, designed to help users hone their trading strategies.
Just like its main desktop trading platform, the NAGAX mobile apps also provides access to NAGAX Academy, which is home to a trove of educational material. Here, users can read about various cryptocurrency assets, discover new trading strategies and learn how to analyze price charts properly to spot signals. The Academy also explores other aspects of the blockchain economy such as DeFi, GameFi, the metaverse and NFTs.
NAGAX said its goal with NAGAX Mobile is to build a user-friendly app that enables anyone to trade on the go. It will continue adding new features to the mobile version until it’s on a par with its comprehensive desktop app, with capabilities such as crypto staking set to be made available in the near future.

IoTeX is an Internet of Things (IoT) crypto and blockchain project based in Silicon Valley.
The open-source project was launched in 2017 and founded by Dr Raullen Chai, who previously worked for Google and more recently Uber.
The project focuses on empowering the machine economy and leading the transition to Web3, in a way that benefits businesses and consumers alike.
In late 2021, IoTeX launched MachineFi, in a milestone achievement that caused the price of its token to surge to an all-time high and attracted thousands of new retail investors.
IoTeX’s chief rival is IOTA – another open-source IoT blockchain project which was founded a short while prior to IoTeX.
What IOTX?
IOTX is IoTeX’s native token, and it is currently ranked as the 108th largest cryptocurrency in the world by market capitalisation.
IOTX reached an all-time high of circa $0.23 in November 2021 following the launch of MachineFi.

Its price has since dropped to $0.0349, according to CoinMarketCap data, as the crypto market as a whole has declined due to interest rate hikes (and the threat of further increases) and global political and economic uncertainty.
How can I buy IOTX?
IOTX is listed on a wide selection of centralised exchanges (CEX) and decentralised exchanges (DEX), including Binance, Huobi Global, Uniswap, and HitBTC.
It can only be purchased crypto-to-crypto, so you’ll first need to exchange some fiat for USDT, Bitcoin, Ethereum or BUSD, and then trade this crypto for IOTX.
New York Attorney General Letitia James has warned that cryptocurrency investors are suffering catastrophic losses amid heightened market volatility.
Specifically, in an investor alert published this week Thursday, AG James cautioned that crypto investors are “losing billions” and warned that even bluechip coins and tokens, such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETC), can plummet.
She went on to warn that the cryptocurrency market is “extremely unpredictable,” adding that, “Just last month, the market reached record lows and investors lost hundreds of billions.

“New Yorkers should be cautious and think twice before putting their hard-earned money into this unstable market.”
AG James’ warning comes amid New York pushing to to ban proof-of-work (PoW) crypto mining.
Should this bill get the approval of Governor Kathy Hochul, new mining operations will be banned, and existing mining operations with licenses will not be able to renew their permits under any circumstances.
This would affect BTC, as it is mined on a proof-of-work basis.
As of 4 June, Bitcoin is currently trading around $29,750 as per CoinMarketCap data, marginally up over the last seven days.
Ethereum, meanwhile, is changing hands at $1,780 and is slightly down over the last week.

Zerion, the leading DeFi and NFT portfolio manager, is launching the first generative NFT linked directly to users’ on-chain activity. As users explore Web3, this Dynamic NFT Avatar – or DNA for short – will evolve with them based on their actions and the assets they own.
“With our DNA NFT, users can express their web3 identities based on the tokens they own, networks they trade on, and communities they belong to,” said Evgeny Yurtaev, CEO and co-founder at Zerion.
Based on a series of attributes, users will be able to mint an NFT when they create a Zerion wallet that represents their on-chain footprint across the 10 networks Zerion supports. Every additional action users take will alter their DNA.
This announcement comes alongside evolving into a Web3-native Wallet that enables users to sign transactions within their mobile app, trade across 10 networks, and connect directly to any decentralized application in a few taps.
Starting today, users can create a stand-alone crypto wallet with Zerion or import existing wallets like MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet, with no limit to the number of private keys supported on the app.
Wallets can be grouped, allowing users to manage their entire Web3 portfolios, from DeFi tokens to NFTs, all in one place without having to manually add assets or constantly switch between different wallets.
“It’s still difficult to make crypto transactions on your phone, especially across different chains,” says Evgeny Yurtaev, CEO and co-founder at Zerion. “ The Zerion Smart Wallet scans every decentralized exchange on the market to make mobile trading accessible, affordable and easy for the next billion Web3 explorers.”
Before launching its wallet, Zerion conducted security audits with the two of the leading blockchain security firms, Secfault and Cure53 who both concluded that the company’s code base was safe and secure.
Since raising its latest round of funding in July 2021, the Zerion team has been working on turning the product into the primary interface for Web3.
They’ve made it easier for users to see the value of their NFTs, bridge across blockchain networks and invest in hundreds of protocols. Zerion was recently named one of the 50 most promising startups in 2022 by The Information.
To date, Zerion measures 220K monthly active users, has integrated over 500 protocols across 10 networks and has processed over $1.2B in transactions.

NFT marketplace OpenSea has announced this week the launch of a Web3 marketplace protocol that will allow users to barter non-fungible tokens with one another.
OpenSea unveiled its new marketplace protocol, called Seaport, on Friday.
They stressed that “OpenSea does not control or operate the Seaport protocol — we will be just one, among many, building on top of this shared protocol.”
The NFT marketplace added that, “As adoption grows and developers create new evolving use-cases, we are all responsible for keeping each other safe.”
The new marketplace protocol will allow users to “agree to supply a number of ETH / ERC20 / ERC721 / ERC1155 items” in exchange for NFTs, as it allows users to barter NFTs instead of just paying for them with Ether, for example.

Furthermore, Seaport market participants can specify criteria such as certain traits on NFT artwork or pieces part of a collection they want when making offers.
In the announcement, OpenSea revealed that they will allow tipping, but the amount tipped cannot be larger than the initial offer/purchase price.
This development comes after OpenSea announced last month that it had acquired NFT marketplace aggregator Gem, which they said would continue to operate as a stand-alone product rather than being consumed by OpenSea.
However, OpenSea said they are planning to integrate Gem features, including rarity-based rankings, into their own NFT marketplace.
OpenSea was launched in 2017, and it is currently one of the most popular NFT marketplaces in the world by monthly transaction volume.
