Pepe The Frog

Meme Coins Skyrocket As Crypto Twitter Shifts From Dogecoin Craze

In early 2021, there was a surge of interest in crypto currencies and meme coins, and Pepe Coin was one of the meme coins that gained significant attention. In a matter of days, the value of Pepe Coin skyrocketed, rising by an astounding 21,000%. This sudden surge in value can be attributed to a shift in focus from the Dogecoin craze, which had dominated crypto Twitter for some time.

Pepe Coin, like many other meme coins, is inspired by an internet meme - in this case, the cartoon frog known as Pepe. The coin was created in 2016, but it wasn’t until early 2021 that it began to gain significant attention from cryptocurrency investors and enthusiasts.

CRYPTo VC FUnDInG

DOWN 82% COMPARED TO LAST YEAR

Venture funding dropped from $9.1 billion in Q1 of 2022 to only $1.7 billion in 2023

The significant shift in venture capital funding away from cryptocurrency projects has become glaringly apparent. According to a Crunchbase report comparing Q1 funding from this year and last year, there has been an 82% decrease in funding, dropping from $9.1 billion in the first three months of 2022 to $1.7 billion in 2023. Despite the decline in deal flow and sector funding, Kavita Gupta, the Delta

Blockchain Fund Founder, stated that there are multiple factors contributing to this trend. Many companies that previously raised funding at high valuations in 2021 and early 2022 are now attempting to secure extensions at the same valuations, but these efforts are failing. As a result, several companies are experiencing down rounds.

SURVIVAL GUIDE

How Spores Launchpad Can Help You Earn Profit During Crypto Downturns

As the crypto market experiences a significant downfall, investors are desperately seeking ways to profit during the bear market. IDO Launchpads offer them a unique opportunity to access promising projects before they become more widely known

in Bear Market Profit Opportunities

Amid the downturn of the crypto market, IDO launchpads have emerged as a rare option for crypto enthusiasts to earn profits.

Although it may be difficult to find projects with explosive growth rates of x30, x50, or even x100 as in the bull run, some launchpads still offer their communities favourable deals with returns of x2 x3. This is a reasonable rate of return in the current challenging market environment.

Besides, a "hibernating market" is a great time to seek out emerging projects that prioritize growth over market hype and are more likely to succeed and flourish later. Legitimate launchpads will know how to conduct due diligence effectively on behalf of their investors, and bring up hidden gems before they become widely popular and overvalued.

Spores Launchpads

Your Secret Weapon Against Crypto Downturn

Spores Launchpad is an example of a launchpad that ticks all the boxes for strong foundations and consistent development.

During this harsh bear market, Spores Launchpad has brought to its community many innovative Web3 projects with fine returns, namely: Get Kicks (40X ATH), Animal Concerts (8.44X ATH), Wizardia (7.2X ATH), Ookeenga (3X ATH), etc.

Each IDO at Spores typically yields a profit of 10-20%, and Spores Launchpad hosts approximately 2-3 IDOs each month.

Spores Launchpad also provides groundbreaking features and policies that benefit its loyal investors. For instance, all projects must undergo the Spores Safeguard program before they are considered for launching their IDO on the platform. In order to become “Spores Safeguard Guaranteed”, they have to meet our stringent criteria, such as a minimum liquidity lock-up requirement, mandatory lockups for team tokens, present distribution and vesting schedule compliance, audits from reputable companies, and a price fall threshold

In case “Spores Safeguard Guaranteed” projects perform poorly due to objective conditions, investors have an additional layer of protection with Spores Network's 24-Hour Protection policy.

24-Hour Protection is a policy that provides investors with protection against price drops for up to 24 hours after participating in a launchpad project. It allows investors to sell their tokens back to the launchpad at the price they paid before, thereby preventing losses. This policy is designed to protect investors

from sudden drops in price that may occur due to market fluctuations or other unforeseen events.

Besides, Spores Launchpad also boasts one of the most user-friendly staking policies. Most launchpads require users to stake a minimum of tokens worth around $200 for the lowest IDO allocation. In contrast, Spores Launchpad strives to keep the fees for participating in IDOs as reasonable as possible, with the lowest VIP Tier (VIP 1) requiring users to stake only 250,000 SPO (~$180). Additionally, the APR of the staking pool has been increased to 150% to reward loyal users.

In conclusion, while the crypto market may be experiencing a downturn, launchpads like Spores Launchpad offer investors a unique opportunity to invest early in promising projects with strong foundations, scalability, and growth potential. Innovative policies such as the Safeguard program and 24-Hour protection will definitely provide investors with a high level of financial safety and peace of mind.

WEB 3UnlEASHED

PUSH FOR ADOPTION AT SCALE

Fifteen years have passed since the inception of blockchain and Web3, with its promise of a more open, decentralized, and user-centric internet. As the renowned computer scientist and technology pioneer, Tim Berners-Lee, once said, ‘We need diversity of thought in the world to face the new challenges.’ Web3 has indeed brought diversity of thought to the forefront of the internet landscape, challenging traditional models of centralization. However, despite its potential, Web3 still grapples with barriers to widespread adoption.

Web3 technology is in its early stages of adoption and faces several challenges. These challenges include the lack of real-time utility for users, with existing products struggling to generate user demand or offer sustainable use cases due to being built on fads and hype without a solid value proposition. Interoperability and standardization are imperative, as the lack of interoperability among different blockchain networks, protocols, and platforms creates barriers for seamless interaction and asset transfer, hindering the creation of a connected and cohesive ecosystem.

Additionally, the core principles of ownership, noncustodial, transparency, and permissionless that underpin Web3 technology have not yet been universally adopted, posing challenges for ensuring true decentralization and democratization of Web3. Furthermore, the lack of diversity in Web3 applications, with many dApps catering to specific sectors, restricts the growth and potential of Web3 to create a truly decentralized ecosystem that caters to a wide range of users and use cases. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for realizing the full potential of Web3 as a transformative technology.

Amidst the growing wave of innovation in the Web3 space, numerous companies are striving to unlock the full potential of blockchain technology and drive mass adoption.

Algorand is one of the most powerful and decentralised blockchain platforms available to DeFi developers and users today. Boasting a combination of global scalability, decentralisation, high performance, and cryptographic security, the Algorand blockchain is well-positioned to be the platform for the future.

protocols, with considerations to scaling, uptime, and security.

At AlgoRai, we see great potential to lead the way for institutional DeFi adoption through traditional finance and investment strategies. Algorand’s promising outlook to DeFi innovators continues to grow, and Algorai by focusing on Algorand and providing cross-chain solutions creates synergistic value and strong network effects.

With strong security and full collateralization these strategies can be a great way to fully harness the output from an underlying asset’s volatility while maintaining exposure to one’s crypto investments.

Access to products or funds that offer structured crypto products often requires significant institutional complexity, expertise and operational capability. The team of professionals at AlgoRai take care of all these issues, offering easily navigable, transparent, competitively valued, and secure vaults.

Decentralised Option Vaults (DOVs)

AlgoRai’s Option Vaults will automate various options writing strategies for its users by implementing smart contracts. These vaults will be running a variety of strategies for BTC, ETH, and ALGO and Stablecoins which have weekly expiries. New Algorand Governance Vaults are being finalised which will incorporate the Algorand Governance rewards with Algorai’s DOV’s producing outstanding risk adjusted returns, effectively doubling the yield potential.

AlgoRai’s vaults are designed to be simple and intuitive for the user. Strategies are clearly

identified and easy to assess, while specific functional aspects including deposit, withdrawal and asset balances are easily managed and transparent.

Algorai only makes money on fees when vault depositors do, thus aligning objectives with growing investors’ assets. Algorai’s defining mission is to bring value to the DeFi customer, through consistently secure, robust risk adjusted returns and transparent DeFi structured products on Algorand’s ecosystem.

Uncovering Crypto’s

GEMS HIDDEn

The significance of hidden gems in the cryptocurrency market lies in the potential for high returns on investment. Because these cryptocurrencies are not well known or widely traded, they are often priced lower than more established cryptocurrencies with similar potential. This means that there is often a larger margin for growth and appreciation in the value of these hidden gems.

Investing in hidden gems can also offer investors the opportunity to be early adopters of new and innovative projects. By investing in a hidden gem, an investor has the potential to be one of the first people to support and benefit from a new technology or application that could eventually change the way the world operates. Additionally, investing in hidden

gems can help diversify a portfolio and reduce the risk of losses. Because these cryptocurrencies are not widely traded, they are less likely to be impacted by market fluctuations and can providea stabilizing effect on a portfolio.

It’s important to remember that investing in hidden gems carries

a higher degree of risk due to the uncertainty of their future growth and potential. Before investing in a hidden gem, it’s important to conduct thorough research and due diligence to ensure that the investment is based on sound fundamentals and has a realistic chance of success.

Beating CRYPTO’s HODL HODL HODL

BOOMBUST CYCLES

This mantra is repeated to crypto investors ad nauseam. But is it truly the best option for crypto investors/traders, considering the perpetual boom and bust cycles of crypto throughout its history, ranging from parabolic highs to, in some cases, 90+% retracements? “HODL HODL HODL” can be a tough pill to swallow.

Alphanumetri

pronounced Alpha-New-Metrics

AlphanumetriX trading system is an effective tool in the arsenal of traders/investors. Following in the footsteps of the late great Tyler Jenks, with inspiration and support from Tone Vays, the AlphanumetriX indicator utilizes a slew of metrics to aid in identifying trends in markets, as well as exhaustion points. AlphanumetriX was developed by traders, for traders, and is the go-to tool for hundreds of people worldwide, with its numbers growing daily. AlphanumetriX accurately called the past 3 bottoms for Bitcoin with its “GREEN DIAMOND SIGNALS,” at $166 in 2015, $3,188 in 2018, and $17,590 in 2022.

The beauty of AlphanumetriX lies in its simplicity. Get in at market capitulation, hold the position as long as possible, get out (or better yet, get SHORT) when the market turns bearish. Rinse and repeat. Sounds easy, right? But every trader knows how hard that is to do in reality. AlphanumetriX cuts out the noise.

But don’t take my word for it, “don’t trust, verify.”

Let's run through a scenario. Looking way back to the 1st of January 2018, Bitcoin had just come off its December 2017 high, just shy of 20k. For most people, this was the first time they'd ever heard of Bitcoin. Let's say you bought your first Bitcoin then. What would your time and money be worth after close to 2000 days? (As of late April 2023, the current price of Bitcoin is approximately 30k.) Around 80% return. Well, you've just beaten most hedge funds

and investors in the world. However, throughout those 2000 days, you have endured 3 70%+ market crashes and one hell of a rally that you watched melt in your hands like sand through your fingers. What if you had used AlphanumetriX during the course of the same period? Today, you would have realized an eye-watering 7,771% gain and be 100% locked and loaded in the current bull market.

Revolutionizing the Way We Interact With BLOCKCHAIN

zkBoost is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, built using zk-rollups. zk-rollups are a type of layer 2 scaling solution that allow for off-chain computation and storage, while still ensuring the security of on-chain transactions. zk-rollups use zero-knowledge proofs to ensure the validity of off-chain computations, while also preserving the privacy of transactions.

Blockchain technology has revolutionized the way we conduct transactions and exchange value. However, the technology is still in its nascent stages, and there are several hurdles to be overcome before it can become widely adopted. One of the biggest challenges faced by blockchain technology is scalability. Current blockchain networks are not able to handle the large number of transactions required for mainstream adoption. zkBoost aims to change this by introducing a new way to interact with blockchain technology.

With zkBoost, users can interact with blockchain technology in a more efficient and user-friendly way. The platform offers several features that make it an attractive option for both developers and users.

FEATURES

One of the key features of zkBoost is its fast and cheap transactions. The platform is able to handle a large number of transactions per second, while also keeping transaction fees low. This is achieved by offloading the computation and storage of transactions to a layer 2 solution, while still ensuring the security of on-chain transactions.

Another key feature of zkBoost is its interoperability. The platform is designed to be compatible with other blockchain networks, which means that developers can easily port their existing applica-

tions to zkBoost. This makes it easier for developers to build decentralized applications that can be used across multiple blockchain networks.

zkBoost also offers several tools and services that make it easier for developers to build decentralized applications. The platform provides a comprehensive set of development tools, including an SDK, API, and developer documentation. These tools make it easier for developers to build and deploy decentralized applications on the platform

The main aim of zkBoost is to improve the scalability and usability of blockchain technology.

In addition to its development tools, zkBoost also offers several other services to help developers build and deploy decentralized applications. These services include smart contract auditing, token issuance, and liquidity provision. These services make it easier for developers to build and deploy decentralized applications, while also ensuring the security and stability of the platform.

One of the unique features of zkBoost is its token model. The platform has a dual-token model, which consists of the zkBoost token (ZKB) and the governance token (gZKB). The zkBoost token is used for transactions on the platform, while the governance token is used to vote on platform governance decisions. This dual-token model ensures that the platform remains decentralized and community-driven.

Overall, zkBoost is a promising project that has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with blockchain technology. Its innovative use of zk-rollups, coupled with its user-friendly interface and comprehensive set of development tools, make it an attractive option for both developers and users alike. With its fast and cheap transactions, interoperability, and unique token model, zkBoost is well-positioned to become a leading player in the blockchain space.

NERDIEST EVENT AGENCY

Party Action People

is a Singaporean event agency that is making waves on the global blockchain circuit. Events are the lifeblood of Web3, because they’re the only place that the shadowy supercoders behind blockchain technology come out to play. Founded in 2019, Party Action People began as a simple party and event planner in Singapore, before 2 years of COVID-19 and a bull market gave the founders the time and resources needed to jump into the exciting world of blockchain events.

By degens, for purists, Party Action People events range from technical summits to raging afterparties. The company’s flagship events are the the Stable Summit and the Blockchain Oracle Summit. The 2023 editions of these events will be taking place July 15-16 and 21-22 respectively, with both taking place as side events of EthCC in Paris. Both events are highly technical in nature, featuring speakers from leading protocols like MakerDAO, Uniswap Labs, Curve Finance, AAVE, Balancer and more.

When organising events for clients, Party Action People shows how crypto native they really are.

BLOCKCHAIN ORACLE SUMMIT STABLE SUMMIT

The Blockchain Oracle Summit is aimed at educating attendees on the critical role that oracles play in the blockchain ecosystem. Attendees will learn about the latest advancements and trends in oracles, as well as the importance of security, privacy, and scalability in their design. Through their role in bringing external data onto blockchains, oracles play a crucial role in most of blockchain’s most exciting developments, including Real World Asset (RWA) Tokenisation, Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs) and more. At this year’s event, founders or leaders from at least 12 top oracle networks will present their work in the space.

The Stable Summit, on the other hand, will delve into the rapidly growing world of stablecoins. The summit will provide a deep dive into the technical and economic considerations of stablecoins and their potential impact on the finance industry. With experts from across the decentralised stablecoin ecosystem coming together for the first time alongside regulators, academics and economists from leading institutions around the world.

Beyond the opportunities to learn directly from the brightest minds in the industry, both summits offer some of the best networking possibilities on the blockchain calendar. With capacity limited to 200 tickets, both summits offer a better than 1:10 speaker:attendee ratio. With no ticket tiers or exclusive spaces, and a price of just 200€, summits by Party Action People are the most cost and time efficient way to meet leaders in a particular sector of the blockchain industry all at once. With both events being held as side events on opposing ends of EthCC week, attendees will not have to give up the chance to meet the wider blockchain ecosystem on the same trip to Paris.

With

PARTY ACTION PEOPLE

The company organised RaveQuest, the official party of DEVCON VI in Bogota, which saw more than 1500 attendees, a full line up of Colombian artists, performers and DJs, and many, many kilowatts of lasers.

When organising events for clients, Party Action People shows how crypto native they really are. Clients can choose to have unique wallet addresses for their events to track all spending, while invoices from suppliers are included in original form. All fees are agreed before the contract is signed, and there’s no sneaky markups or any other forms of funny business.

Whether they’re organising summits about dense mathematical or game theoretical concepts in blockchain, raves for developers halfway across the world or just organising a simple side event or hackathon, all Party Action People events have a keen focus on the latest event technology and the most high fidelity production. Sound levels are always balanced, screens are always visible, and the audience is always comfortable, when the Party Action People are on the case.

Advantages That Crypto Assets May Bring To

BAnKInG InDUSTRY

The world of cryptocurrencies has been rapidly expanding with new protocols and digital assets emerging to meet the growing demand for decentralised financial systems. Among these protocols, Ethereum and Cardano stand out as two of the most prominent blockchain networks, offering unique functionalities and use cases. Both Ethereum and Cardano operate on Layer 1 the underlying blockchain layer, which serves as the foundation for all transactions and interactions within the network.

In addition to Layer 1, there is also Layer 2, which refers to off-chain solutions built on top of the Layer 1 network. Layer 2 protocols aim to address the scalability issues faced by Layer 1 blockchains, enabling faster and more cost-effective transactions. As the adoption of cryptocurrencies continues to grow, the banking industry is beginning to explore the potential benefits and drawbacks of integrating digital assets into their traditional financial systems.

CBDC OPPORTUNITIES THREAT

Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) May Bring to the Banking Industry

Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a concept that is gaining traction in multiple countries all around the world.

The fundamental idea is creation of digital currency that is issued by the central bank such as the Bank of England or Federal reserve in the USA. Unlike traditional cryptocurrency, the CBDC is backed by the central bank and has a fixed value making it a viable alternative to presently used fiat currency.

This provides increased stability to the digital currency by greatly reducing the volatility, however, CBDC are centralised which could be both seen as an advantage or disadvantage. There are multiple pathways central banks can implement CBDCs, such as creation of wholesale and retail variants which would serve FIs or consumers and businesses respectively. There are multiple ways to provide access to the digital currency as well, either via keys that allow the benefit of anonymous transactions or via digital identification which could potentially reduce fraudulent activity.

As with each new disruptive technology there are the advantages and disadvantages. For example, since CBDC does not require intermediaries to facilitate transactions, this could negatively impact DI as they would not be able to charge various fees on transactions resulting in a loss of revenue streams. On the other hand, digital currency would result in increased financial inclusion, allowing the underserved population to conduct digital transactions with minimal associated fees and increase the revenue to the banks.

While there is a lot of potential in the technology, central banks would have to consider these and many other caveats to produce CBDC which would give the users a product superior to the currently used fiat.

This report will explore the current pipeline of CBDCs, as well as threats and opportunities that they could present.

Opportunities in CBDC

CBDCs can bring a set of benefits (McKinsey, 2023). Firstly, it can reduce cash usage rate and thus reduce costs and contribute to sustainability. The rise of CBDCs has reduced about 30% cash usage in Europe (McKinsey, 2023). This also tends to threaten to marginalise the sole source of central bank or public money and requires central banks to reassess their role in the financial system. Secondly, digital currency has been contributing to the decentralisation and encouraging private sectors to offer monetary value.

This helps private companies to act in the traditional role of central banks. This evolves

financial markets and contributes to diversifications in the markets. As a result, central banks have been issuing CBDCs to follow the market trends. Thirdly, CBDCs help central banks to have better trace of money flows and exchange. In return, this assists governments to improve tax administration and hit corruption. Corruption and tax evasion can be easily monitored with the help of CBDC.

For example, the Chinese government has been developing digital currency to improve tax administration, hit corruption, and enhance the efficiency and safety of the payment system.

CBDC have the potential to transform the banking industry in several ways, including:

Faster and Cheaper Transactions

Better Monetary Policy

CBDCs could provide a faster and cheaper way to conduct transactions. They can be sent instantly, and there would be no need for intermediaries such as banks or payment processors.

Financial Inclusion

CBDC can enable people who do not have access to traditional banking services to participate in the digital economy. This is because CBDC can be stored and accessed using a smartphone, which is increasingly available in even the most remote areas.

Improved Security

1 4 2 5 3 6

CBDC can provide enhanced security features, such as biometric authentication, encryption, and digital signatures. This can reduce the risk of fraud, counterfeiting, and hacking.

CBDC can provide central banks with more direct control over the money supply and interest rates.This can help them to implement more effective monetary policy and respond quickly to economic shocks.

Reduced Costs & Risks for Banks

CBDC can reduce the costs and risks associated with storing and transporting physical cash.This can free up resources for banks to invest in other areas, such as customer service and product development.

New Revenue Streams

Banks can potentially generate new revenue streams by offering value-added services on top of CBDC, such as loyalty programs, microlending, and wealth management.

Threats of CBDC

The harm caused to the banking sector by central bank digital currency (CBDC) is one of the potential concerns it poses. The competition it fosters is one of the biggest challenges that CBDC can present to the banking sector.

Forbes reports that the CBDC could cause banks to face intense competition from virtual currencies, which could result in a decline in their earnings. In addition, because CBDC is a digital payment system, there are other risks that could harm the banking sector, including cyber security attacks, account and data breaches and theft, forgery, and risks related to quantum computing. As a result, the banking sector must actively address these potential threats and take the necessary steps to maintain both its competitiveness and the viability of its operations.

Conclusion

The introduction of CBDC has the potential to substantially impact the banking sector, both with the opportunities it brings but also the threats associated with it. The key opportunities of CBDCs are that it has the potential to increase the efficiency of the payment system, promote financial inclusion, improve monetary policy and increase transparency. However, these benefits do not come risk-free as CBDC may pose risks to the banking industry such as disintermediation, privacy concerns, cybersecurity risk and implementation challenges.

As stated, the potential benefits of CBDCs are significant, however, it is important to note that they

will not come without challenges. Therefore, governance and central banks must work to address these challenges and ensure that CBDCs are implemented in a way that maximises the potential benefits whilst minimising the risks associated. In additions, CBDC must be introduced in a sustainable way in order for it to coexist with existing payment systems and avoid disruption to the financial system.10
