Moonstake Wallet Now Supports Staking of Centrality’s CENNZ

SINGAPORE, Feb 26, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Today, staking of Centrality's native token, CENNZ, is officially available on Moonstake's Web Wallet. CENNZ is the native token of Centrality, our strategic partner. Moonstake became the first staking provider in the world to launch staking services for CENNZ.



Now Moonstake's wallet users can hold, send and receive CENNZ and are able to stake through the Moonstake wallet and receive CPAY as staking rewards with one simple click with the best user experience. After Cosmos, IRISnet, Ontology, Harmony, Tezos, Cardano, Qtum, Polkadot, Quras and Centrality became the 10th available staking coin on Moonstake Wallet.

Moonstake wallet provides 3 CENNZ staking validator options for users with an average commission fee of 5%. To celebrate our milestone as the world's first wallet to support staking of CENNZ, one of the 3 validators will offer zero-staking fee for the first 3 months from today until 31st of May so that CENNZ holders can enjoy free staking on Moonstake wallet.

Moonstake started in the staking business last year with the aim to create the largest staking network in Asia. Since then, Moonstake has developed the most user-friendly wallets for both Web Wallet and Mobile Wallet (iOS/Android) that are compatible with over 2000 cryptocurrencies. After a full-scale operation launched in August 2020, Moonstake's total staking assets have grown rapidly to reach USD 600 Million in staked assets in 6 months.

Moonstake and Centrality entered into a strategic partnership in August last year. Aaron McDonald, CEO of Centrality has joined Moonstake as an advisor and both parties are actively developing for the implementation of CENNZ (Centrality's token) through Moonstake staking platform. During a joint webinar last year, both parties shared details about the progress of the partnership and product development, including an announcement regarding the launch of CENNZ staking on Moonstake. Based on joint marketing and technical collaboration, Moonstake Wallet achieved another milestone as a world's first wallet to support CENNZ and CPAY enabling users to send, receive, and hold ERC-20 based CENNZ and CPAY tokens and the world's first wallet to support staking for CENNZ.

How to stake CENNZ on MS Wallet

Here's a simple 4-step process to stake CENNZ with Moonstake Wallet:

1. Register your Moonstake Web wallet (https://wallet.moonstake.io)
2. Deposit 10,000 CENNZ and an appropriate amount of CPAY to your Moonstake wallet. (10,000 CENNZ is the minimum amount required to stake)
3. From the wallet screen, select CENNZ and click the "Stake Now" button.
*If CENNZ and CPAY are not displayed, click on the + button on the right to add them.
4. Confirm the staking information, then click the "Staking" button and enter your wallet password.
*Once the staking operation is completed, the amount of CENNZ will be displayed in the column Staking.

How CENNZ Staking Works

A minimum threshold amount of 10,000 CENNZ needs to be locked in and stake for both nominators or validators. To stake CENNZ with Moonstake wallet, you need to be a "Nominator" and select a "Validator". Up to 16 or more validators can be selected. If the chosen Validator is elected and performs their duties correctly, Nominators receive a portion of their resulting CPAY reward.

*Nominators are CENNZ token holders who stake a portion of their CENNZ behind a Validator.
*Validators are node operators who each store a copy of the blockchain and must perform certain functions to keep the system secure.

How to get Rewards of CENNZ staking

The APY (Staking Reward Rate) BASE rate for CENNZ will initially start at a minimum of 8-10% APY in CPAY. This can increase based on network activity. You will receive a staking reward approximately every 24 hours.

For example, if you stake 10,000 CENNZ, you will receive 800 – 1,000 CENNZ worth of CPAY per year, which will be divided and distributed as a reward.

How CENNZ unstaking works

There is an unbonding period when you unstake CENNZ, which serves as a cooldown. This period will take 28 days on CENNZnet and your CENNZ will be locked. After 28 days, you can redeem your CENNZ and start to use or transfer them. During the unbonding period, you will not receive any staking rewards.

Mitsuru Tezuka, Founder at Moonstake says: "Moonstake is pleased to be the world's first wallet to support staking of CENNZ and the first validator for CENNZnet. We completed API connection for CENNZ staking to provide extensive support for the CENNZ community. With this collaboration, Moonstake and Centrality will continue to accelerate the strong growth of the staking ecosystem while providing the best staking service for CENNZ."

Aaron McDonald, CEO at Centrality says: "Centrality is on a mission to bring decentralised technology to consumer mass markets and Moonstake will help us do just that. E-wallet is the most convenient and friendly solution for modern day money management, in both the real world and the crypto world. Making the crypto usage experience seamless while still fully secure to mass consumers is what Moonstake excels at and we're happy to bring about CENNZ staking on this leading staking platform."

The global staking market capitalization has grown exponentially over the last year from $10 billion to $133 billion. During this period, Moonstake has also become part of the top 10 staking providers in the world in terms of total staking value and is continuing to expand non-stop. Through CENNZ's staking, we are committed to providing more people in the world with valuable staking opportunities at their convenience and contributing to the development of the blockchain industry.

Blockpass and UREEQA Bring Identity Verification to Creators

HONG KONG, Feb 25, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Blockpass is proud to reveal another new partnership this week which will see the integration of Blockpass' KYC solution into a brand new platform. This new expansion of KYC coverage comes to the UREEQA platform, which protects, manages and monetizes creative work. Both companies will work together to ensure that creators of unique works can identify themselves and claim ownership of their compositions, opening up greater opportunities for people to conduct business and pursue their goals.



On UREEQA, users can pay a small fee to stake claim to their creative works, such as music, videos, eBooks, source code, art etc. In the future, UREEQA will expand to other forms of work including patents, trademarks and industrial design. Validators work to ensure that creative content on UREEQA is original, earning URQA tokens and a UREEQA Validator Rating (UV Rating) based on their performance. Once a creator's work has been successfully validated, a non-fungible token is generated; this token is the creator's immutable claim to the creation. The NFT then enters the UREEQA Premium Protected Collection – a dynamic online platform where the creation will be showcased, enabling users to buy, sell, distribute, license or complete a legally compliant STO. The UREEQA Premium Protected Collection also includes a social element where users can rate, comment on and like creative work, or contact each other to discuss collaboration opportunities.

Blockpass is a digital identity verification provider which provides a one-click compliance gateway to financial services and other regulated industries. Through Blockpass, users can create, store, and manage a data-secure digital identity that can be used for an entire ecosystem of services, token purchases and access to regulated industries. For businesses and merchants, Blockpass is a comprehensive KYC & AML SaaS that requires no integration and no setup cost. You can set up a service in minutes, test the service for free and start verifying and on-boarding users.

"UREEQA is an excellent example of how blockchain technology can enhance a specific industry and improve people's choices and opportunities," said Adam Vaziri, Blockpass CEO. "Creative works represent peoples' unique talents and often their most prized work; helping UREEQA to prove that and to validate ownership, alongside creating new avenues for people to buy and sell and collaborate, are exactly the kind of benefits that blockchain and Blockpass exist to facilitate."

"As we work on providing decentralized services to help protect creative works, identity verification is an important first step to ensuring that we are engaging in consulting arrangements with known entities. We evaluated multiple KYC service providers and Blockpass was the clear winner. The platform is easy to use and the support has been stellar," said Harsch Khandelwal, CEO of UREEQA.

Robert Eccles, UREEQA COO, noted: "UREEQA is deeply committed to providing our customers with high quality services and products. Invariably, in doing so we have to rely on partners in some areas. Therefore, we are extremely careful and discerning in who we partner with. We evaluated multiple KYC service providers and we concluded that partnering with Blockpass was the clear choice. Their platform is easy to use and the support has been stellar."

Blockpass has grown significantly in size and use since its inception, both in the number and range of users and organizations it has partnered with, and the scope of its work. Blockpass continues to develop its digital identity protocol with updates and additions to improve the compliance experience. The existential need for DeFi projects to be regulatory compliant and the recent integrations have led to a surge in interest for Blockpass' On-chain KYC(TM) solution which promises to change the way blockchains enable compliance.

With a current 90%+ discount on its services, a fact made possible due to the unique reusable nature of its verification method, and put in place to help as many people as possible access KYC in the current pandemic, there has never been a better time to explore the potential of Blockpass. The Blockpass App is available from the App Store and Google Play.

Bitcoin Latinum Launches Tesla Roadster Special Edition Global Giveaway

PALO ALTO, CA, Feb 19, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Bitcoin Latinum ( https://bitcoinlatinum.com/ ), the next generation Bitcoin fork, is announcing the worldwide giveaway of a custom, new edition Tesla Roadster. As a tribute to honor the innovation of Tesla and Bitcoin Latinum, eight custom, new edition Tesla Roadsters will be created to celebrate Bitcoin Latinum's milestones in coming to market later this year.



The official giveaway entry form can be found on Bitcoin Latinum's newly launched merchandise store: https://shop.bitcoinlatinum.com/

Bitcoin Latinum is an enhanced Bitcoin fork. The Bitcoin Latinum algorithm and infrastructure break barriers and speed limits that have prevented some virtual currencies from achieving practical, real-time use. The Bitcoin Latinum tokens are a part of a blockchain ecosystem being adopted by companies in media, gaming, storage, cloud, and telecommunications. Bitcoin Latinum sold out its initial public presale in November 2020.

Elon Musk, founder of Tesla Motors described Bitcoin in a podcast interview with ARK Invest: "It [cryptocurrency] bypasses currency controls. Paper money is going away. And crypto is a far better way to transfer values than a piece of paper, that's for sure."

Slated to become the world's largest insured digital asset, Bitcoin Latinum has appointed Marsh & McLennan, one of the world's leading specialty insurance brokers and risk advisers, to arrange a comprehensive insurance program for the new cryptocurrency through their Asia division, Marsh Asia. The contemplated insurance coverage will protect Bitcoin Latinum holders in case of external theft and internal collusion, potentially up to the full value of their holdings.

Adopting Bitcoin Latinum is Academy Award-winning studio Cross Creek Media. Cross Creek has grossed over $1.7 billion at the worldwide box office, as co-financier/producer of such films as Oscar-winner "Black Swan" and "The Trial of the Chicago 7", nominated for five Golden Globe awards including Best Picture of 2020. Timmy Thompson, CEO of Cross Creek Media stated, "We are very excited about Bitcoin Latinum and its capabilities as an insured token, as we continue developing award-winning properties. Cross Creek's portfolio of new media technology investments perfectly position us to take advantage of the digital asset sector in Media and Gaming."

The giveaway entry deadline is set for April 30, 2021 at 11:59 PM PST. No purchase necessary to enter. The drawing will be held later this year after the Bitcoin Latinum hard fork.

FOR EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY; NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE. Any Bitcoin Latinum offered is for educational and informational purposes only and should NOT be construed as a securities-related offer or solicitation or be relied upon as personalized investment advice. Bitcoin Latinum strongly recommends you consult a licensed or registered professional before making any investment decision.

Seascape Network NFT Store Now Online Ahead Further BSC Integration Announcements

SINGAPORE, Feb 18, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Seascape Network, NFT and DeFi gaming platform supported by Binance, has unveiled its native NFT Store with their NFTs named Scapes, complete with minting and staking capabilities. Users are now able to mint or stake Seascape NFTs on their currently released games, or collect the NFTs as collector's items.



In redefining the traditional sense of NFTs, Seascape Network, a gaming platform founded upon NFT and DeFi economies, has officially launched its homegrown NFT store. This announcement follows the successful launch of its native token, Crowns, or CWS. The new development marks another milestone for the Binance-backed NFT and DeFi gaming platform in their current roadmap.

According to their Medium article, the Seascape Network NFTs, Scapes, differ from its predecessors in that it aims to venture beyond the traditional functions associated with NFTs as collector's items, as seen with the most expensive NFT in history sold to date from CryptoKitties. These NFTs can be minted and staked on Seascape DeFi games for rewards. Like the NFTs in the typical sense, the NFT can be collected. Apart from this, Scapes may be accumulated and leveled up, or lent out for accrued interest. This offers users the opportunity to use NFTs as real financial assets in the Seascape ecosystem.

Scapes can now be obtained either from the Seascape Network official platform's DeFi games, or acquired on Opensea. Participants need only set up their MetaMask wallet with a sufficient amount of ETH to take part in auctions and direct purchases, trades and sales. All Scapes have a name and personality, displayed in their Opensea character profile. They also have a quality that is linked to their rarity, which influences their market value. The public currently has an opportunity to grab a free NFT by playing in the first Seascapes DeFi game, The Profit Circus.

Seascape Network aims to make NFTs a critical part of the DeFi economy by ensuring that NFTs act as a means of generating profit for their holders. In the future, subsequent generations of Scapes could be collateralized for loans or leased at variable rates.

For further information about Scapes, please visit its official page. https://opensea.io/collection/seascape

Blockpass Foundation to Roll Out $PASS Liquidity Mining Initiative

HONG KONG, Feb 18, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Today the Blockpass Foundation is excited to introduce a new initiative, developed based on customer feedback and requests, designed to improve liquidity for $PASS users. At Blockpass our main goal is the provision of faster, simpler and more efficient KYC and AML services, taking the pain out of regulatory compliance, but we also aim to provide as engaging and rewarding experience as possible around this mission. In order for us to be happy with the service and options provided by Blockpass, our users have to be happy.





As such, we have listened to the feedback and questions of our excellent community members and, as a result, have decided to promote development of solutions to facilitate liquidity mining for $PASS. As part of this initiative, we intend to prepare a liquidity mining campaign based on the input and suggestions of the community – those users and advocates of Blockpass who have been discussing such options on the Blockpass telegram and twitter channels, or who have e-mailed in feedback and suggestions.

The starting point for all of this is the development of a number of liquidity tools. To facilitate these, the Blockpass Foundation is announcing the provision of a grant for developers to build those tools. Any developer with experience can apply here ( https://forms.gle/7JyQ7H6cLaQQY7uM9 ). Payment for developers will be in $PASS, the magnitude of which will be given over to the community to agree on. Voting and feedback requests from the community will be carried out via the Blockpass Telegram Channel. Please note that the Github usernames and proposals by developers will be shared with the community in order to facilitate this process. The ultimate decision of this endeavour will be down to the Blockpass Foundation who will approve any grants.

The purpose of the Liquidity Mining program, which will focus on the existing Liquidity Pool on Uniswap for the price pair USDT/PASS, will be to add liquidity to that pool. The overarching method for this will be collecting liquidity mining 'receipts' (liquidity tokens) and staking those 'receipts' in return for $PASS. The precise percentage of $PASS to be made available to stakers in the system, as with the developer rewards, will be determined in conjunction with the community, based on their feedback. In addition Enterprise customers of Blockpass who are using its Identity Verification system will benefit from a 10% credit on services whilst staking $PASS. Note that $PASS has a token activation requirement, so staking is only permitted with users who have activated their tokens.

"We really value the dedication, engagement and insight of our discerning user base," said Adam Vaziri, CEO of Blockpass. "This new initiative is as a direct result of questions and requests which have been made by the community over the past couple of weeks. We really do read and take on board all feedback in an effort to provide the best possible services and experiences, to merchants and end-users alike. We'd like to thank all of those who have contributed to this development through their passion and suggestions. We hope this is a positive step for users and that they will continue to engage with us through any channels."

Blockpass has grown significantly in size and use since its inception, both in the number and range of users and organizations it has partnered with, and the scope of its work. Blockpass continues to develop its digital identity protocol with updates and additions to improve the compliance experience. The existential need for DeFi projects to be regulatory compliant and the recent integrations have led to a surge in interest for Blockpass' On-chain KYC(TM) solution which promises to change the way blockchains enable compliance.

With a current 90%+ discount on its services, a fact made possible due to the unique reusable nature of its verification method, and put in place to help as many people as possible access KYC in the current pandemic, there has never been a better time to explore the potential of Blockpass. The Blockpass App is available from the App Store and Google Play.
