In a Builder’s Market, Ankr Forges Ahead With Web3 Construction

It may be easier said than done sometimes, but we must avoid allowing the tumultuousness of the markets to distract us from noticing which projects are actively building things. One such project is Ankr (ANKR), which describes itself as “the fastest-growing infrastructure provider in the Web3 space.” If you want to dive into the technical …

Cherub Fields – The Angelic NFT Collection That’s Recapturing Crypto’s Lost Innocence

The recent calamity in the markets, the ceaseless vulgarity of discourse, the phishing scammers, the soulless botnets, the shell corporations, and the rug pulls have all taken their toll on the crypto community recently. Minted in such precarious conditions, a delicate, sensitive and heartwarming NFT project like Cherub Fields might seem too pure for our …

Better Redd Than Dead! – How Reddcoin Could Experience a Revival

With the exponential proliferation of rug pulls, overhyped garbage projects and slimy developers in crypto the last couple of years, I’ve often wondered whether there would be renewed interest in so-called “boring” legacy coins like Digibyte, Litecoin, and Reddcoin. After getting bamboozled enough times, some people might wish to gravitate back toward projects which haveā€”at …

Blockchain-Powered E-Commerce Platform “Storex” Poised to Launch on Proton

Try saying that five times fast! I confess I hadn’t heard of Storex until they recently conducted an airdrop of their token (STRX) to Proton holders. At the time, it was only tradeable on an exchange called Alcor (no relation to the cryonics facility that freezes human corpses). Then just yesterday Storex scored its highly …

The Real World Appeal of “Mythical Beings,” an NFT Card Collection Game on Ardor

One of the more creative and avant garde projects in the NFT space is Mythical Beings, a blockchain based card collection game from Tarasca Art & Games.

Snipcoins – A Snappy New Social Platform For All Things Crypto

Continuing on my unprompted, unlikely odyssey into Proton’s budding young ecosystem, I stumbled onto a nifty social media platform called Snipcoins ($SNIPS). Founded by Jervis Dent, an experienced web developer from Orlando, FL, Snipcoins describes itself as “a place where NFT and crypto enthusiasts can connect, share, engage, trade and learn from each other.” More …

Mid-Century Modern Inspired NFT Collection “Mod Commodities” Launches Exclusively on Proton ($XPR)

Phoenix-based artist and poet Brandon Adamson is in the process of launching a new NFT collection called “Mod Commodities” on Proton’s NFT platform, Proton Mint. Currently, the easiest way to obtain Proton (XPR) is probably through the exchange, Kucoin. This particular NFT series consists of unique, mid-century modern inspired pieces of artwork. These one of …

Crescendo Poised to Launch Music and Arts Marketplace on Algorand

While perusing the list of projects running on Algorand, I came across one called Crescendo (CRSD) which got my attention. With a few notable exceptions like Lofty.ai, most of the assets on Algorand tend to be either ambitious defi applications, meme coins, or charity tokens. So it’s interesting to see something a little more avant …

Freshening Up the NFT Space With Proton Mint

One of the more promising layer 1 blockchains to rapidly emerge from obscurity has been Proton (XPR). Describing itself as “the payment blockchain,” Proton seems to place a heavy emphasis on speed, efficiency, and the ability to support high transaction volumes. Unlike with many other projects, Proton’s actual products are consistent with their branding and …
