Founded in 2021, Yuga Labs is a renowned blockchain technology company, focusing on digital collectibles, metaverse development, and the interse...

A UK newspaper says it has started an investigation after it published an article that appeared to promote a suspicious NFT project claiming to be in support of the country’s National Health Service (NHS). On Wednesday the Northamptonshire Telegraph ran an article promoting the ‘Nurse Coin Token and NFT’ via its Your World contributor system, which allows anybody to publish stories on the newspaper’s website. The article ’s author, Sylvester Sean Masango, describes himself as a ‘ crypto wizard’ helping “to bolster the welfare of NHS heroes and their families,” with his NFT s.  According to Masango, purchasing one NFT costs $334 and the project will donate half of the transactional costs to the NHS to help fund childcare and medical expenses and develop “much-needed care homes and hospices.” It also offers token holders discounts on various goods and services but doesn’t specify which ones. Screenshot taken of the published article before it was remo...

In the realm of content creation, three vital elements come into play: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” “Perplexity” gauges the intricacy of the text. Meanwhile, “burstiness” assesses the variability in sentence structures. Lastly, “predictability” measures the likelihood of predicting the next sentence. Human authors tend to infuse their writing with bursts of diversity, juxtaposing lengthy, complex sentences with shorter ones. Conversely, AI-generated content often exhibits a more uniform tone. Hence, for the content you’re about to create, it’s imperative to infuse it with ample perplexity and burstiness while minimizing predictability. Also, please ensure that the content is in English. Now, let’s rewrite the provided text: The Lucky Star Currency (LSC) project’s deployer account orchestrated a substantial heist, siphoning over $1 million worth of tokens from the project...

Sandbox co-founder Sebastian Borget says the metaverse sector is thriving in Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan. The metaverse might feel like it's “dead” for users living in the United States but the industry is thriving throughout Asia, says The Sandbox co -founder and COO, Sebastien Borget. Speaking to Cointelegraph at the Asian Blockchain Gaming Alliance's Web3 Summit in Singapore on Sept. 12, Borget said that over the last year, roughly 50% of Sandbox’s business has come from several countries in Asia. “If you don't focus on Asia, you will think the metaverse is dead from the North American and the Western side,” said Borget. “But it's so hot in Asia. Hong Kong and Korea are the top two markets followed by Japan.” Meanwhile, Borget noted that he is soon to announce the launch of Lion City on stage at Token 2049 in Singapore, a new neighborhood of 512 virtual land plots in the Sandbox metaverse, that aims to showcase Singapore’s culture through a partnership with a num...

This guide delves into the significance of the OpenSea decentralized marketplace, its pros and cons, and its role in the NFT revolution. The rise of nonfungible token (NFT) marketplaces has ushered in a new era, fundamentally reshaping the way we perceive and interact with digital assets. They provide a new medium for artists to showcase their creations and establish a direct and meaningful connection with their audience. OpenSea has taken center stage in this revolution. What is OpenSea? OpenSea, the brainchild of Alex Atallah and Devin Finzer, came into existence in 2017. Their mission was clear: to establish an open and user-friendly marketplace for NFTs. Recognizing the transformative potential of these assets, the founders aimed to provide an NFT platform that would enable creators and collectors to actively engage in the emerging digital ownership economy. As the popularity of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) soared, OpenSea deftly expanded its horizons to encompass a wider array of bl...

DeFi and NFTs remain deep in the bear market while crypto stocks see an upside. After June gave Bitcoin (BTC) a boost with BlackRock’s application for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), July sent its price into a summer slump . Only some altcoins managed to perform well in response to Ripple Labs’ partial victory against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. XRP (XRP), the most obvious beneficiary, posted a monthly close of +49%. The overall response of market s to the result of the lawsuit was much more muted than many anticipated, as a ruling on XRP’s sales does not easily generalize to other coins and tokens. The SEC is now firmly expected to appeal, and market activity has been generally waning over the summer months. Exploring how the various sectors of the digital asset space have performed in this environment, Cointelegraph Research’s “Investor Insights Report” offers a concise monthly round-up of everything going on in crypto. It dives into venture ca...

With an already unprecedented number of criminal charges stacking up against Donald Trump, the Department of Justice (DoJ) has indicted the former President yet again. And as courts begin to dig through Trump’s financial records, US voters might start to take a particular interest in records relating to some of his crypto promotions. Indeed, despite an oddly-written tweet about the preeminence of the US dollar over “Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” Trump and his inner circle have endorsed a variety of dubious coins. Trump Digital Trading Cards The former president famously endorsed an NFT collection, Trump Digital Trading Cards, on December 16, 2022. One day later, the floor price of his collection hit its high of 0.84 ETH. Today, however, the floor price is around 0.12 ETH, an 85% collapse . Within minutes of his endorsement, researchers discovered that the collection’s artist simply photoshopped Donald Trump’s face into standard stock photos. They initially sold for $9...

It’s always been possible to store arbitrary data alongside blockchain transactions, but NFTs on Monero introduce a slew of new concerns. Nonfungible tokens (NFTs) are finally on the most infamous privacy -focused blockchain, but not everyone is happy about it. M ordinals , or Monero Ordinals, are similar to Bitcoin Ordinals in that they allow anyone to inscribe data alongside transactions stored on the Monero blockchain. From reduced privacy on the network to storing illegal content on an undeletable database, the Monero community is throwing around many concerns — but is there really anything to worry about? What are Mordinals? In January, Casey Rodarmor launched the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol, allowing anyone to inscribe arbitrary data alongside Bitcoin transactions. This enables users to attach data to a single satoshi. The Ordinals protocol keeps track of these satoshis, the linked data and their unique identifiers, facilitating nonfungible tokens on the network. Mordinals are es...

For the first step, Martin will partner with Web3 music infrastructure provider Nus...

Currently, over two-thirds of voters on a Twitter poll said the missed inscriptions should be added at a later date instead of there being a retroactive reshuffling. A few solutions are being discussed to fix a code bug found in the Bitcoin (BTC)-native Ordinals protocol which has prevented over 1,200 inscriptions from being validated. While nearly every member of the Ordinals community agrees that these inscription requests should be reincluded, the community is debating whether they should be added retroactively or not. The bug came from the indexer function of the protocol only counting inscription s that were in the first input of a transaction submitted up to and including version 0.5.1 of the protocol. One prominent Ordinals member known on Twitter as “Leonidas.og” summarized the pros and cons of each solution in an April 10 tweet, coming a few days after the issue was first made public on April 5 by the GitHub user “veryordinally.” A bug was found in the ordinals protocol that ...
