2023-03-03 20:03:34 Blur conquers new heights

Blur and OpenSea continue to fight for market share. But what does it look like from the inside?

According to the latest industry analysis from the DappRadar platform, NFT trading volume exceeded $2 billion in February. This is the highest since the dramatic collapse of Terra and its UST and LUNA tokens in May 2022.

While Blur is heavily outperforming OpenSea in trading volume-the platform is way behind in new customer inflows. Despite all the hype the company makes, it is designed for professional traders.

Since its launch in October, Blur has been focusing on traders who want to buy a lot of NFTs without having to pay any fees. It quickly gained popularity because it gave traders a reason to trade on the platform so they could get BLUR, its cryptocurrency, before it came out in February. Two days after the token went live, Blur had more trades than OpenSea, and it has since challenged the main marketplace’s dominance.

Not the least in this story were YugaLabs, who took over 30% of the total Ethereum-based NFT trades, all because of Dookey Dash, we wrote about them earlier.

2023-03-02 20:03:32 Binance and AI: 10,000 NFT in two and a half hours

Bissaco's limited beta testing, Binance's AI NFT generator, performed at full capacity generating 10,000 NFT in 2.5 hours after launch.

The platform is similar to its predecessors: in Bissace you can upload a photo and AI will process it or you can give instructions how to generate the art.

AI got quite a load, but the developers are working on it: Our team is currently working on increasing the server capabilities to reduce errors and make the mining process smoother."

Те who didn't get 10,000 spots in the beta can still sign up for the waiting list for the full version.

The world is changing and you don't need a huge development team or cool artists to create an NFT collection anymore. Maybe in the near future, after such a furore around AI, drawings made by people will be valued much more in Web3, but we can only guess about that.

2023-02-28 20:03:28 NFT on BTC is already here

The latest trends in the NFT world are as tight as possible with the new BTC-based collections

And that's where Yuga Labs comes into play. The backgrounder in the form of many collections and huge bonuses to NFT holders suggests that a super limited BTC-based collection will be something special.

Collection called TwelveFold: a total of 300 NFTs will be presented, and it's an initiative of the company's team of artists.

What is the next step of Yuga Labs?

Due to the high-profile nature of this release and the limited quantity of pieces available, TwelveFold will be made available in an auction-style environment, with all bids being made in Bitcoin. To participate, bidders will need a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet and an empty Bitcoin address to receive a piece if their bid is successful.

Hard to believe that NFTs are more than just a hype and a desire to make a name for themselves. They are great marketing campaigns and not a bad trend, nothing more.

2023-02-27 20:03:26 Court in Metaverse

Web3 and virtual space are much closer than you might imagine. Yes, perhaps the full transfer of our lives there is still a long way off, but Columbia Court has already made history.

With Meta's Horizon Workrooms platform, participants customized their avatars and used Oculus Quest 2 headsets to participate in the two-hour hearing.

Colombian Law 2022 Ley 2213 allows the use of advanced technology in the country's legal system, which is why such events are possible.

The lawyers and the judge were pleased after this experience and would like to see more investment in this direction.

To some, this may seem like just a showcase, but really, it's a big step in the direction of anyone who is not yet familiar with this kind of space.

2023-02-26 20:03:25 The biggest NFT sale ever

Of course, we won't mention here the most expensive NFT in the world or the best selling collection. It's much more interesting.

NFT whale Jeffrey Hwang, better known as Machi Big Brother, sold 1,010 tokens in 48 hours for a total of 11,680 Ether, or $18.6 million, according to Nansen.

Andrew Thurman, a Nansen expert, noted that this "may be the largest NFT leak in history."

Since such shenanigans, the florals of many collections. that have been sold have fallen by several percent:
#Blur #NFT #NFTdump7.77%, 9.2% and 8.16% for BAYC, MAYC and Otherdeed NFT respectively.

This is all due to the recruitment of points for another Blur airdrop. This is how one person's desire to get closer to first place can affect an entire ecosystem.

2023-02-24 13:03:20 Music continues to be introduced to Web3

It's no longer uncommon to see news about a Web3 music festival or buy an NFT that you can listen to rather than just look at it in your wallet. Music is a huge cultural layer of our society and the fact that this phenomenon now has its place in Web3 cannot be called a suprise

Spotify has begun testing token-enabled playlists: owners of specific NFTs can now connect their wallet to the app and listen to a song that's linked to a token.

Apoorv Lathey, KINGSHIP's CTO has already had a chance to show how you can try out the new Spotify feature

Some musicians have already had a chance to try out Web3, but for many it ended up simply selling their tokens and merch.

Even Spotify cannot be called an innovator in this field, because there is such a project as Audius. A streaming service that pays its users with AUDIO tokens, and musicians get paid directly for listening to songs.

2023-02-23 20:03:19 The collapse of Polygon and new rumors

No matter how young the idea of blockchain is, its implementation must be at the highest level if we consider it as a public and publicly available tool. When it comes to your finances, all you want is reliability and preservation of your assets. In this case, Polygon has let their users down a bit.

Many believed the Polygon blockchain was temporarily down due to an issue with the network explorer Polygonscan. It simply wasn’t the case.

Scaling Methods for Layer 2 PolygonScan data indicated that the blockchain has not processed a block in over an hour and a half, fueling speculation that the service was down for maintenance.

Concerns about a probable outage began to circulate on February 22. Some speculated that block production had ceased since Polyscan indicated that the last block and transaction on the blockchain had been executed at around 8:35 p.m. UTC on February 22.

At the moment, the team is taking all actions to restore the network, but as we already know, 20% of the staff (100 people) will be dismissed.

2023-02-22 21:03:14 51% Attacks in Blockchain: Understanding the Threats and Risks

Blockchain technology has gained widespread adoption in recent years as a decentralized and secure way to store and transfer data. However, as with any technology, it is not immune to attacks. One of the most significant threats to blockchain networks is the 51% attack

A 51% attack occurs when a single entity or group of entities controls more than 50% of the computing power or hash rate of a blockchain network. With this level of control, the attacker can potentially manipulate transactions, double-spend coins, and prevent other network participants from confirming transactions. In essence, the attacker gains the ability to rewrite the blockchain's history and control the network. The name "51% attack" comes from the fact that the attacker needs to control more than 50% of the network's computing power, which is referred to as the "51% threshold." This type of attack is generally considered to be very difficult to execute on a large blockchain network such as Bitcoin due to the decentralized nature of the network and the significant computing power required

However, smaller blockchain networks with fewer participants may be more susceptible to 51% attacks. For example, in January 2019, the Ethereum Classic (ETC) network suffered a 51% attack, resulting in more than $1 million worth of ETC being double-spent.

To execute a 51% attack, an attacker would need to invest a significant amount of resources in acquiring the necessary computing power. They would also need to maintain that computing power for an extended period to maintain control of the network. This makes 51% attacks financially impractical for most attackers, as the cost of acquiring and maintaining the necessary computing power would far outweigh any potential rewards from manipulating the network.

Developers of blockchain projects can implement various mechanisms to make 51% attacks more difficult. For example, some blockchain networks use consensus algorithms that require a certain level of participation or require multiple parties to validate transactions. These mechanisms can make it more difficult for a single entity to gain control of the network.

In conclusion, 51% attacks represent a significant threat to blockchain networks, particularly smaller networks with fewer participants. While they are difficult and expensive to execute, developers of blockchain projects should still take steps to mitigate the risk of 51% attacks by implementing robust security measures and consensus mechanisms. As blockchain technology continues to evolve, it is likely that new threats and risks will emerge, and developers must remain vigilant in their efforts to secure these networks.
