– Members will get access to the XelebX club through tradable NFTs
– XelebX will launch with a community of 200+ million existing fans across the Eros ecosystem

MUMBAI, INDIA, Sept 14, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Eros Investments, a leading Global Media, Entertainment & Technology portfolio of ventures, and Xfinite, a decentralized entertainment ecosystem, have partnered with veteran entertainment and tech entrepreneur Calvin Cheng, to launch ‘XelebX’, the world’s largest Web 3.0 members-only celebrity fan club. The partnership will introduce over 200 million existing fans of global influencers and celebrities associated with Eros’ ecosystem and its group companies to the new metaverse with NFTs and Fan Tokens.

XelebX will be accessible only through NFT memberships. The NFT membership holders will get access to various benefits, including exclusive access to virtual meets with the influencers, exclusive content, virtual backstage passes, and celebrity NFT collectibles.

XelebX, at a later stage, will launch fan tokens that track an influencer’s popularity and will be tradeable on major exchanges allowing holders across fandoms to trade and exchange value freely. This will also enable influencers and celebrities to collaborate and grow their fanbase in a way native to Web 3.0 interoperability and composability.

Existing Community Key to Success

Calvin Cheng says, “Web 3 is all about community building. Other platforms have tried this in the past. They built the tech but struggled to build the community – the key to Web 3’s success. We already have the tech expertise and an amazing community of hundreds of millions of fans. We will now onboard them into the Metaverse using the latest digital asset and Web 3 technologies.”

Next Evolution of Media and Entertainment

Kishore Lulla, Chairman, Eros Investments, says, “Over five decades, Eros has built one of the largest media and entertainment businesses enthralling millions of fans and launching some of the biggest stars in India.

The metaverse and the immersive Internet are the technological tides that will carry us forward for the next 50 years. Eros is committed to being at the forefront of its adoption.”

Swaneet Singh, CEO of Xfinite, says, “With Xfinite, Eros has already gained invaluable experience in media built upon virtual assets and the blockchain. XelebX is the next natural innovation to bring the global community of entertainment fans into the metaverse and unlock immersive interaction with the influencers they follow.”

Various celebrities from Mad Influence have associated with XelebX for the launch. Gima Ashi (Garima Chaurasia), an Indian-origin actor, model, and social media influencer with 14.6 million followers on Instagram and a part of Mad Influence’s ecosystem, says, “I am super excited to join XelebX. The platform will facilitate better engagement with my fans and allow both fans and I to monetise our relationships through digital assets like NFTs and Fan tokens.”

Crypto Valley Association Joins Hands with The Crypto Oasis to Boost Blockchain Development in the Middle East

DUBAI, UAE, Sep 8, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Crypto Valley Association, the Switzerland-based association of blockchain corporates and crypto professionals, has partnered with Crypto Oasis, Dubai to connect the growing blockchain communities in both Switzerland and the Middle East. Sharing several of the same goals for the growth of a thriving global blockchain ecosystem, Crypto Valley Association joins forces with Crypto Oasis to boost the development and adoption of blockchain technology.

Ralf Glabischnig, founder of the Crypto Oasis is fully focusing on connecting the Crypto Valley to the Crypto Oasis and growing the wider Inacta Group with Venture Capital and Venture Building structures in the UAE. The goal is to replicate the unique ecosystem growth strategy from the Crypto Valley into the Crypto Oasis. Inacta is also one of the founding members of the Crypto Valley Association and believes the time is ripe for this collaboration to bring the two regions closer together and bridge the geographic distance.

The Crypto Valley Association is based out of Zug, which is Europe's crypto capital. The Association was founded to benefit from Switzerland's strengths to connect startups and established enterprises and foster blockchain – & cryptographic tech innovation and adoption. The alliance with Crypto Oasis will help build bridges, share knowledge and enable an exchange between crypto-passionates in Switzerland and in the Middle East.

Emi Lorincz, President of the Crypto Valley Association says: "I am thrilled to help accelerate the global growth of the Crypto Valley Association. After opening our CVA Latin America Chapter, the Middle East, as a hub – with already 1000+ organisations – is the fitting next step for our expansion. We are delighted to partner with the digital economy in the Middle East with our focus on blockchain technology and we're excited about this flourishing partnership with Crypto Oasis that will help us foster blockchain adoption at a global scale."

Faisal Zaidi who is a co-founder of Crypto Oasis will lead the Crypto Valley Association chapter for the Middle East. He says: "We are excited to announce our new alliance with the Crypto Valley Association. The two entities will play complementary roles and expedite our mutual aim to establish a leading global blockchain ecosystem. This alliance will connect a fragmented blockchain world by connecting Switzerland, which is at the forefront of disruptive technology, with the Middle East which is all set to become the new hub for crypto and blockchain."

To initiate building the bridge between Dubai and Switzerland, the Crypto Oasis is inviting the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) to visit Crypto Valley in Zug, Switzerland. During their visit, they will identify blockchain organisations in Crypto Valley that have the potential to migrate to Dubai to further enhance the Crypto Oasis ecosystem. These crypto companies will get a chance to explore the plethora of opportunities in this region and witness a friendly jurisdiction that welcomes disruption in the digital space. Further of these visits with other major organisations like DMCC, DWTC and ADGM are planned for the future.

The heart of the fastest-growing blockchain ecosystem in the world is Dubai, which is emerging as a citadel of blockchain innovation and has the potential to back great blockchain enterprises. Crypto Oasis catalyses the growth of organisations in the crypto space and like the Crypto Valley Association, it brings together investors, start-ups, corporates, researchers and government entities. The cooperation and collaboration between both will aim to advance the digital economy in the Middle East and bring distributed ledger technologies to the mainstream.

Crypto Oasis Launches Groundbreaking arte Talks with TODA for Web3 Awareness

DUBAI, UAE, Sep 5, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Crypto Oasis has teamed up with the Theatre of Digital Art (TODA) to launch arte Talks, a first-of-its-kind bi-monthly initiative that will bring Web3 into the mainstream. These series of talks will be based around the innovations, developments and solutions Web3 is bringing to the digital world. There was a massive turnout at the first event, held on August 28th, attracting people who wanted to know more about developments within Web3 and blockchain.

Crypto Oasis wants arte, a Web3 Meta-Community initiative, to become a global platform that will foster creativity, entrepreneurship and collaboration across borders, by shining a spotlight on prominent voices from the art and crypto communities. The series of talks also seeks to expose some of the myths that surround Web 3 and decentralised technologies by educating a large target audience about the cultural phenomenon of NFTs, the Metaverse, and Blockchain. TODA, using its state-of-the-art technology, comes in to present a sophisticated and cutting-edge way of seeing NFTS and Blockchain art and at the same time, creates an oft-missed link between digital and traditional art forms.

"We are thrilled to be partnering with TODA," commented Ralf Glabischnig, Founder of Crypto Oasis. "arte Talks will bring together like minded individuals and Web3 communities to create an environment that will enable individuals in the art and technology space. We expect this partnership to bring us one step closer to spreading Web3 and Blockchain adoption and awareness."

The pilot event featured exciting speakers who explored NFTs through unique lenses. The first talk was given by award-winning artist Amrita Sethi, whose claim to fame is being UAE's first NFT artist and visionary. Amrita turned her back on corporate life to pursue a deeper calling, leading to the creation of a new multimedia art form, called "Voice Note Art", which is now called "SoundBYTE". Her thought-provoking talk included topics like human behaviour and their understanding of art and technology. She talked at length about brand adoption and how NFTs and the Metaverse can seamlessly integrate into our lives, much like the Internet.

The second arte Talk was given by Patrick Mortiz, or PRM, the creator of Dubai Peeps, an avant-garde NFT project. His artistic speciality is moulding ultra-realistic sculptures out of clay. PRM shared deeper thoughts on the digital art space and how it can provide opportunities for both digital and traditional artists.

arte Talks has been launched at a crucial time as the world becomes increasingly tied to the digital asset market since the rise of NFTs in 2020. NFTs and the Metaverse are set to transform our futures and will continue to disrupt both the digital and traditional art worlds. arte offers exciting opportunities for creatives, visionaries and artists who seek to grow their brands and advance the regional digital economy. TODA is the ideal partner in arte's journey to seamlessly connect the art community with blockchain and finance professionals.

Daria Prodaevich, Managing Director of TODA said: "At TODA it is our mission to make complicated concepts easier for everyone. We strive to educate our community and increase awareness of the utilization of WEB3 space. arte Talks enables us to bridge the gap between the art sphere and the decentralized domain of blockchain- as well as the opportunities within it."

arte Talks will bring together the crypto community of Dubai again this month for another fascinating talk and it will spotlight some of the most exciting, emerging voices in art and blockchain.

DUBAI, UAE, Aug 29, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – For the first time in history an NFT project has made it to the top spot trending on twitter in the MENA region. Newly founded Middle-East based project Crypto Arabs is making headlines with their NFTs.

Tweet: bit.ly/3e3cTsV

Crypto Arabs have already received significant media attention by announcing their partnership with the cartoon loved by millions, for 16 seasons – Shaabiat Al Cartoon. The pair will be turning the Arabic cartoon into an NFT collection for the first time.

The NFT project attracted attention last month when announcing big players such as; Sheikh Humaid bin Khalid Al Qasimi and Princess Nejla bint Asem of Jordan as some of the first members of the community. Once again they are turning heads. On Friday August 26th, 2022 Crypto Arabs was trending number 1 on twitter in the UAE and Kuwait.

The attention didn't stop there. Regional influencers, celebrities and NFT artists including; Sharifa AlBarami, Hamoody Bumby, Angie Gegg, Amrita Sethi, and Georgia Fairweather began supporting the project's success via their social media channels. Led by Mohamed Al Banna, CEO of Lead Ventures, Ralf Glabischnig, Founder of Crypto Oasis DMCC and Adi K Mishra, Founder of Karma Innovations, Crypto Arabs is a collection of 9,999 pieces of unique Non Fungible Tokens (NFT) artworks, designed in partnership with beloved Arabic cartoon creation, Shaabiat Al Cartoon.

Paribus (PBX) Announces Multichain Integration and Partnership

MIAMI, FL, Aug 25, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – As our regular readers know we've been using the extra time our testnet deployment afforded us to equip Paribus with the optimal conditions for our mainnet launch. As part of that process, we're absolutely thrilled to share with the community that we've partnered with Multichain so that our PBX token can now be bridged to Arbitrum, Milkomeda, and Polygon.

Cross-chain interoperability has always been at the heart of everything we hope to achieve and it's incredible that we've already reached this milestone. Development teams from both Paribus and Multichain have worked tirelessly to ensure the success of this move, going above and beyond our wildest expectations.

Multichain is a leader in terms of security, cross-chain speed, and costs. Since its foundation, it has evolved from a 1:1 cross-chain bridge to an innovative cross-chain router system that interconnects multiple chains. It offers an advanced and real-time Cross-Chain Router Protocol (CRP) system that supports the interoperability of tokens, NFTs, and general data across multiple chains.

For PBX holders the minimum volume required for a cross-chain transaction through the router is between 2,847 PBX and 9,412 PBX depending on which chain the bridge is between. Likewise, the maximum amount per transaction is 180,000,000 PBX to 2,747,026,344 PBX, again depending on the chain that's being bridged to.

The transaction speeds are incredible too, with most transactions arriving within 10-30 minutes. Larger transactions may however take up to 12 hours to arrive. The definition of a large transaction varies from 1,000,000 PBX to 549,405,268 PBX depending upon the chain that it's bridging to.

For those unfamiliar with Multichain, they may remember its previous name, Anyswap, which was founded in July 2020. Anyswap started life as a cross-chain decentralized exchange, however, seeing the strength of its development in cross-chain solutions it pivoted to specialize in bridging infrastructure.

They now provide a cross-chain router service that has a strong track record in terms of both speed and security, having quadrupled their speed of transactions over time. Significantly for Paribus, they also operate a non-custodial approach using Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology. In practical terms this enables users to keep their full private key secret during interactions with the bridge. Because Multichain is non-custodial it means that it can't take control of users' assets, which is something we've seen happen with other platforms.

As our CTO Simon recently explained in relation to DAOs controlling users' assets, "Deciding to control another person's wallet without their permission isn't something that I feel should be acceptable." As such it was hugely important to us that the bridge provider we partner with operates on a non-custodial basis and we're delighted things have worked out so well with Multichain.

Another crucial factor for us is the approach that Multichain takes towards its security. As we all know nothing in the blockchain space is ever 100% secure. Exploits and vulnerabilities are regularly exposed and as such, we take a very cautious approach to security.

In addition to being audited by TrailOfBits, SlowMist, PeckShield, DEDAUB, and BlockSec, Multichain also operates a bug bounty program and a security fund. The bug bounty program incentivizes the reporting of bugs from the community and the security fund is intended, "to provide protection for system operation and financial security in the event of unforeseen risks". Their security audits are available for anyone to review:
GitHub: https://github.com/anyswap/Anyswap-Audit

We're sure you'll be as delighted as we are to welcome our new strategic partnership with Multichain. Together we can help drive forward the future of interoperable DeFi.

New Perspectives for Creators and Collectors: How Stars.Art is Changing the Global NFT Arena

DUBAI, UAE, Aug 24, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Nonfungible token (NFT) sales topped $4.4 billion in January and have noticeably decreased in the following months. The May market crash accelerated the decline and caused sales to plunge to $1 billion by June – a 65% drop from January. Ostensibly, the revenue earned by NFT holders is at frustratingly low levels, which through restrictions, market manipulation, and flat-out security vulnerabilities of centralized platforms, can only go as far as exacerbate.

Despite all this, some key data indicate that it isn't as apocalyptic as how others made it sound. Despite recent turbulences in the overall market environment, long term perspectives look promising: The global NFT market size is expected to reach $130 billion in 2030, registering a revenue CAGR of 10.7%, according to Emergen Research.

Boosting the NFT economy's revenue

Aiming to make earning revenue more favorable for NFT holders Stars.Art NFT Marketplace has introduced a number of exciting features: One is by offering low to zero trading commissions. Sellers only pay a maximum commission of 0.75% per transaction, while buyers don't pay fees at all. This starkly contrasts with the 2-3% per sale that are charged by leading NFT marketplaces. Aside from this, NFT creators can also customize royalties between 0% to 15%.

The other way is by letting users earn passive income through staking features that Stars.Art will soon introduce. NFT staking allows users to generate rewards, usually in the form of tokens, by locking up their NFT assets to either a platform or a liquidity pool. Users would then be able to earn income from their priced NFT possessions without actually selling them. Vladimir Perov, founder and CEO of Stars.Art said, "Our main goal is to remove some common barriers in the user journey and ensure the best conditions in the NFT market for the Stars.Art community. We aim to be the world's number one platform, where the real power will be in the community's hands, which is the principle of decentralization.The Journey of Stars.Art began in 2021, when the NFT and Crypto Market were booming. As a result, the world of blockchain technology is constantly evolving and we are adapting quickly to it by launching Start Art."

Decentralization at its core

One of the main downsides of centralized platforms is that decision-making is vested only in the party controlling the scene, making crucial changes happen abruptly. There have been times when minting and the amount of NFTs that can be created has been limited and certain collections delisted. Worse, centralization has also led to instances of insider trading. All of this happened with the larger community staying uninformed.

Stars.Art is shaping up to be an outlier. The platform is DAO-based and community-centric. This means that users have a hand in the decision-making activities of the platform and grants them the power to vote on critical changes once its governance token, STAR, has been launched.

Free minting

Stars.Art also started a free minting campaign wherein artists can mint Polygon (MATIC) NFT collections and start selling without having to pay the corresponding minting fee. The only cost to the user is the gas fee, which is only applied when an NFT is sold and is moved to the blockchain.

In order to reward the most talented artists, Stars.Art will cover the cost of Polygon MATIC gas for those who have an account on the platform linked to their crypto wallet, and an NFT collection listed. Welcome onboard and mint your NFT's for free on Stars.art!

About Stars.Art

Stars.Art is a 100% secure and reliable platform with a focus on DeFi and Web3. It strives to build a diverse ecosystem with cross-chain architecture that facilitates interoperability. Firstly Stars.Art will operate on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchain. But we keep optimizing the customer journey by making upgrades and improvements. In the near future, the platform will also support several additional blockchains.

IKONIC Releases NFT Esports Platform

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Aug 22, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Announcing the launch of IKONIC, the World's First Dedicated NFT Platform for Esports and Gaming Collectibles. The IKONIC platform will be a full-service NFT marketplace that will serve pro-players, gamers, teams, and content creators within the gaming industry; a dedicated marketplace where they can create unique and rare digital items for their fans.

IKONIC platform allows esports players and gamers to create NFTs with their gameplay.

The IKONIC team realized that some of the most amazing moments in gaming were vanishing just as fast as they were created, and until now, there has not been a way for a player or a fan to own and benefit from fantastic gameplays. IKONIC's ambition is to fuel each gamer's creativity by giving them the ability to turn their passion into profit.

Through today's blockchain technology, we can turn esports moments into digital collectibles that will last for eternity. We have so much more than that on the roadmap, because we aim to empower the creator economy, which will open new revenue streams for gamers and esports players. We will merge the cryptoverse and esports, and for the first time, players and fans will – OWN THE MOMENT.

There are thousands of esports events every week all around the globe. Still, players cannot get the recognition they deserve. Some of them make better plays than top esports players, but they cannot reach their audience because of the system that is in place. Each player has some fantastic moments, and with IKONIC they can immortalize those moments and earn from their gameplays.

We do not forget pro-players; they are our heroes; we cheer for them; we live through them. Ikonic will make it possible for top players to connect with their fans. A place where fans can collect the best gameplay moments.

Players will be able to create unique NFTs of their gameplay with a few clicks, and with a click or two more, they will be listed and ready to trade on IKONIC's marketplace. But IKONIC will be much more than that. When we progress into advanced development, the existing marketplace infrastructure and its community will become the foundation for a broader marketplace for game-linked digital assets.

The $IKONIC Token will be the key to unlocking rewards for players and fans. Through the $IKONIC Token users will get discounts and have access to specific bonuses within the platform.

Soon gamers will have a chance to see our video editing software for advanced NFT creation. The revolutionary NFT Transaction & Performance Analytics will allow every user to analyze data much more effectively — and efficiently. This year, we will also reveal our Indie Game Launchpad for NFT Games.

UREEQA’s partnership with La Flor Dominicana for an unprecedented NFT campaign with real world utility – Sells for $90,000

ONTARIO, CA, Aug 22, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – UREEQA teamed up with renowned cigar manufacturer La Flor Dominicana for an exclusive, limited-edition NFT drop. And so far, it's been a tremendous hit.

Earlier last week, La Flor Dominicana and UREEQA launched a first of its kind NFT drop that provides an opportunity for seven people across the world to become the exclusive buyers of the Andalusian Bull – The Golden NFT, allowing them to purchase up to 70 cigars per month. The original buyers of these seven NFTs will also receive a personalized 50-count Gold Bullion Humidor filled with cigars.

Auctions for five of the seven have been completed, with prices hitting $90,000. The auctions themselves are taking place on the UREEQA marketplace and can be accessed at https://bit.ly/UREEQAXLFD.

Those who purchase The Golden NFT on the UREEQA Marketplace won't just be comforted by the fact the digital asset and related utilities have been protected by UREEQA's patent pending validation service, but they'll also gain the exclusive right to buy the newly created Andalusian Bull — a special LFD cigar that is not available on the cigar market.

What is The Golden? It is a never-before released Lonsdale version of the famed Andalusian Bull; which pays homage to Spain, the birth country of company founder Litto Gomez and was named Cigar Aficionado Magazine's Cigar of the Year in 2016.

"Personally, it's my favorite cigar," said Tony Gomez, Vice President of La Flor Dominicana. "There is just something special about the Lonsdale, I think it's the most beautiful cigar size, and when combined with the Andalusian Bull blend there emerges an elegance and depth of flavor that is nothing short of spectacular."

The 42" x 6.25" Lonsdale has, until now, been a private blend that Litto Gomez and his son Tony have kept for themselves and their friends. That is changing; altogether, seven NFTs will be minted and auctioned off. Those who purchase an NFT will gain the right to buy up to 70 of these cigars per month for as long as they own the NFT. La Flor Dominicana guarantees that these seven NFT owners will be the only people in the world who can buy The Golden directly from them. Owners of the NFTs will be allowed to re-sell the digital asset in the future, transferring the right to purchase the cigars to a new owner.

"La Flor Dominicana is an adventurous, creative brand entering uncharted territory with an NFT release that is historic and unprecedented in their industry," UREEQA Chief Marketing Officer Shannon Powell said. "We're happy that they've recognized we can offer LFD and their clients the ultimate protection and guidance for their highly anticipated release. This is the beginning of something big!"

UREEQAs patent pending validation service verifies the authorship, ownership and originality of any asset that can be tokenized. From cigars to digital art, the integration of people, processes and technology works in tandem to maintain the integrity of an NFT. This creates more value and trust for sellers and purchasers; especially for an industry navigating into the unfamiliar world of digital assets.

"Our industry is rather old school, and we realize that this idea will expose a lot of people to a totally unknown world," said Gomez, "so being able to provide a safe, secure platform for bidding and purchasing that offers assurances regarding authenticity is extremely important. The way we see it, these NFTs aren't just access to a special cigar — they are an investment and UREEQA's validation services provide protection on that investment."

It doesn't get much more important than that and to the Gomez family and the LFD brand, it's personal.

La Flor Dominicana was founded by Tony's father, Litto Gomez, and his stepmother, Ines Lorenzo Gomez in 1994. In a relatively short lifespan, the brand has managed to compete with generational cigar brands that have been around for lifetimes. Still, the company's focus has always been on quality over quantity.

"We never make more cigars than we can," Tony Gomez said, "even if demand far exceeds production, which it always does. And we control the entire process behind our products, which includes owning both our own farm and factory."

That is being employed in full force for La Flor Dominicana's Golden NFT release, resulting in one of the most unique and secure NFT drops in history. You still have a chance to jump in!

NFT release schedule:
Each NFT will be released one at a time with a 48-hour window.
#1 – 8/11 – Completed at $85,000
#2 – 8/13 – Completed at $78,000

DUBAI, Aug 22, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – W Motors, the leading manufacturer of Luxury Hypercars in the Middle East, is all set for its entry into the Metaverse and Web3 space. With Tokengate as a crucial partner, the company will become one of the first car manufacturers to use the Metaverse and create a pioneering immersive, innovative, and inclusive experience around their hypercars.

In a pioneering move, the iconic manufacturer of Luxury Hypercars is stepping into the Metaverse, in partnership with Tokengate.

– As W Motors' trusted partner, Tokengate will ensure a smooth and seamless transition into the digital world.

The W Motors Metaverse will constitute a hub where like-minded members can come together as part of a digital community, offering users a digitally native update to the age-old experience of designing cars, building models, and playing racing games.

A unique collection of 10,000 "HyperWolves" NFT Profile Pictures will serve as a gateway for the W Motors Metaverse and digital roadmap. These NFTs will represent the spirit animal of the W Motors cars, the Wolf.

In addition, NFT holders will be awarded a virtual car designed by W Motors. The car will be selected from a series of exclusive, rare, and never-seen-before hypercars, including 110 Fenyr SuperSport and 7 Lykan HyperSport models, from which the latter were featured in the Fast and Furious 7 blockbuster movie. HyperWolves owners will eventually be able to customize their hypercars and integrate them into the web3 blockchain games. At a later stage, W Motors is planning to create its own metaverse and game for NFT holders.

The W Motors Metaverse will enable the company to push the boundaries of performance and design and create distinctive, limited edition car designs on a brand-new digital landscape, without any constraints.

The Metaverse is blurring the lines between our physical and digital worlds and W Motors is ready for its limitless potential to create user-driven, captivating experiences that prioritize ownership, creativity, and inclusivity.
