The Tokenization of Physical Assets Gains Further Validation

In the ninth edition of our newsletter, we alluded to the potential for both Gold and Bitcoin to continue to uptrend and outlined their direct growing correlation. Earlier this week, Paxos Trust Company announced the launch of PAX Gold (PAXG), an ERC-20 token which is redeemable for physical gold. PAXG acts as an asset-backed digital token, with each token backed by one fine troy ounce of London Good Delivery gold, and while the reserves are stored in London vaults, PAXG token holders actually own the physical gold which underlies the token.

📈 2Key Network In-Depth Review & Rating is online!

▶️ Read the full review at the following link: https://cryptocalibur.com/2key-network-review/

The team at 2key have created a social economy supported by blockchain technology that provides a new economic model for online sharing and rewards the various participants involved in the dispersion of online content and link sharing. 2key uses multi-step tracking technology that makes it possible to track and record each person involved in a link-sharing chain. The protocol also acts as a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum and incorporates Action Referral Contracts (ARCs) which are novel, patent pending solutions which see 2key’s multi-step tracking technology being natively integrated into the blockchain infrastructure. Each Contract run on the network issues its own batch of ARCs, which act as a native web 3.0 multi-step referral and conversion tracking mechanism, which can also be viewed and interfaced with by using any ERC20-compliant client. As a result, ARCs can perform self- tracking and play out 2key smart-contracts as they are distributed online using any web3.0 wallet which supports ERC20 tokens. Read more

2key Network is another intriguing project with a solid use case and the team are setting out to disrupt the online advertising and referral marketing sectors that have become entirely dependent on large centralized operators. The technology that supports the network is impressive and represents the innovative use of blockchain technology and smart contracts in our opinion. The ability to embed smart contracts into regular HTTP links greatly simplifies the revenue sharing model with regards to referral marketing and does away with the need for any intermediaries.

The project also contains a number of team members with specific industry experience and founders eiTan LaVi and Erez Ben-Kiki have significant experience in online marketing and the more complex aspects of administering and tracking online content. The project also incorporates a comprehensive token model with 2key tokens being used to pay for fees on the network, and engage in staking, and the team have also committed to locking up tokens long term which should prove to be beneficial.

Despite these positives, there are still areas of concern and some points to consider. Firstly, although 2key may be able to benefit from “first mover” advantage and gain serious traction, it may prove harder than expected to consistently attract users and draw people away from modern day giants such as Google and Facebook. Furthermore, while the digital marketing sector continues to grow at a fast pace and generate large amounts of revenue, blockchain projects operating in that niche are still trying to establish themselves with possibly only Steem and Basic Attention Token being seen as standout successes.
As a result, we are still unsure just how much value can flow into the network within its early stages, and with investors in the project only being given access to 15% of the token supply via tokensales, a significant amount of tokens are expected to be held by network participants. Furthermore, 40% of tokens will be held in reserve by the team and will require sensible management in order to guarantee the stability of the token economy. The project’s early success may very much depend on the team’s initial marketing strategies and partnerships which are still to be revealed, and the right campaigns will capture the crucial early adopters amongst the crypto and digital marketing communities. A successful tokensale will also give the team more of a runway, and allow the development of a “war chest” for taking on the established players. As a result, 2key Network is one to keep an eye on, and the project may become even more interesting as the team begin to detail their go to market strategy and plans for securing adoption.

The AMA with UltrAlpha Fund will begin in 30 minutes. Make sure you tune in 🙌

Bitcoin Displays its Sporting Chance

Earlier this week, news began to spread that Bitcoin sports betting site Sportsbet.io has entered into a sponsorship agreement with the English Premier League’s Watford FC. However, rather than wear a logo representing the betting company, Watford’s players are taking to the field with Bitcoin’s distinctive symbol printed on their sleeves. This has already proved to be highly successful in terms of generating attention, and highlights the fact that cryptocurrencies have generally been well received by the sporting world.

🔴 NEW PROJECT ON OUR RADAR 🔴

https://tokamak.network/

Telegram: https://news.1rj.ru/str/onther_blockchain

CryptoCalibur Interest Level: 🔥 HIGH 🔥

Listing: Currently there is no set plan for ICO/IEO as they are in the private sale phase.

Tokamak Network is a plasma based sidechain platform that makes use of the novel zero knowledge proofs in order to bring privacy and scalability to the EVM environment. Their solution is based on the plasma chain research, further developing the concept to include the EVM into the network, thus enabeling general states & computation features for running smart contracts on the Plasma architecture, and with the add-on of ZK proofs to enhance the privacy Plasma based chains. The team plans to continue and further expand the research on the Plasma chain technology and thus they have been awared the top prize from the Ethereum Foundation Grants Program due to their outstanding work in the field, and their solution being one of the first to integrate the EVM into the Plasma chain architecture.

Token Utility (ERC20 - mainnet)

▪️ Paying tx fees within the Plasma chains, the traditional account based model as in ETH.
▪️ Staking tokens as deposit by the Plasma chain operator when a Plasma chain is opened to guarantee accountability for block producing.
▪️ Possibility to delegate transaction fees, as a Plasma chain operator can choose to offer 0 fees on a chain by having a level of "stamina" that depletes as users make transactions and it replenishes within a set timeframe. This does not consume tokens as the operator stakes tokens on the Stamina contract and based on that stake, an amount of "stamina" is available.
▪️ Rewards for connecting and validating the blocks produced on the Plasma chain with the Main chain
▪️ Rewards for Challengers that find technical issues or malicious behavior on a Plasma chain

Future Growth

▪️ Zero Knowledge Proofs development
▪️ ZK-DAI on a Plasma chain to enhance the privacy and performance of DAI
▪️ ZK-DEX
▪️ Enterprise development with focus on privacy
▪️ They are the recipients of an Ethereum Foundation Grant and plan to expand on the work of Plasma and EVM, thus they want to tap into the dev base of the ETH ecosystem.

What We Like

✅ Novel solution that expands a complex sector, Plasma architecture, by integrating within the Plasma chain the ability to run Smart Contracts, thus continuing and enhancing the work of Vitalik's plasma concept.
✅ High experience team - big contributors to the ETH ecosystem especially in Korea.
✅ Live public testnet with various usecases such as the ZK-DAI, ZK-DEX
✅ Team focuses on a niche solution and recognizes opportunities by integrating and complementing their project with others, aiming to partner with industry leaders.
✅ Winner of the top prize of this year edition of Ethereum Foundation Grant program, essentially getting the blessing of Vitalik for their solution.
✅ Integrating of another novel technology Zero Knowledge proofs and getting a relevant usecase in the DeFi sector, enhancing the DAI stablecoin with privacy proprieties without changing the underlying structure of it.
✅ This will be integrated with the ZK-DEX to drive the required liquidity without sacrificing privacy.
✅ "No consensus is the fastest consensus" - leveraging elements of game theory economy and the security of the Plasma chain architecture and ETH mainchain to incentivize honest behaviour without requiring a consensus mechanism.
✅ Designing a very flexible network, where the Plasma chain fees are adjustable and dApps can easily migrate in order to suit their needs.
✅ They developed the concept of Minimum Gas Price, where a Plasma chain operator can set the minimum gas for transfer, thus improving the end user's network usability.
✅ Steady and sustained development, they are adding and expanding the features of both Plasma chain technology and their iteration.

This is not sponsored nor paid content. If we find a relatively under the radar project that we believe has potential we post about it.

Ethereum Developments Help to Stimulate Renewed Positivity

With Bakkt launching this week, there remains hope that any potential increase in Bitcoin trading will flow through the market and lead into the long awaited “alt season”. However, as most alts continue to stagnate, Ethereum has picked up in value for the second week in succession and a number of recent developments hint at a bullish near term future for the market’s leading smart contract platform.

These include the recent announcement that Banco Santander has issued the first end-to-end blockchain bond using the public Ethereum blockchain. This allowed Santander to securely tokenize the bond, and the cash used to complete the investment (on-chain delivery-versus-payment) and the quarterly coupons have also been tokenized. Banco Santander is the actual issuer of the $20 million bond, while Santander Securities Services is acting as the tokenization agent and custodian of the cryptographic keys, and Santander Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB), the bank’s global division acted as the dealer for the issuance.

We're excited to present you with our comprehensive and informative Report on Morpehus Labs: The Blockchain Platform-as-a-Service (BPaaS)

Find out more about Morpheus Labs (MITX) by reading our Report: https://cryptocalibur.com/morpheus-labs/

Conclusion:

Morpheus Labs is a project that is very much interesting us at this current time. The project combines a range of intuitive and robust integrated solutions that solve a number of real pain points that significantly hinder companies of all sizes from integrating blockchain technology. It also integrates both B2B and B2C solutions that should help it to secure a significant amount of revenue in the near future and this should translate in an appreciation in the value of MITX tokens as fiat sales will be used to purchase the token.

The team have also devised an internal economy that makes full use of their token and a wide variety of stakeholders including subnoscription paying customers, distributors, developers, and community node runners are all expected to lock up tokens in order to participate in the network. Read more

We're excited to present you with our comprehensive and informative Report on Howdoo: Blockchain’s Social Media Platform

Find out more about Howdoo (UDOO) by reading our Report: https://cryptocalibur.com/howdoo/

Conclusion:

Howdoo is a project that has flown under the radar somewhat, and one that we are becoming much more interested in. Howdoo operates in the almost ubiquitous social media sector and combines a wide range of features that have already proved to be popular with users of platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitch. These include live streaming, image sharing, messaging and all forms of media posting which appeal to lifestyle influencers and bloggers/vloggers of all types.

The project also contains a well thought out monetization model which sees content creators directly rewarded for the traffic and engagement they generate as well as being able to charge users for premium content and subnoscriptions. Users are also able to earn tokens by engaging with content on the platform, and by interacting with advertising and most importantly, UDOO tokens can be cashed out directly into fiat which does away with a layer of friction for anyone new to dealing with cryptocurrencies.

Macro Developments Show The Way Ahead

With the market stabilizing this week after previously experiencing a significant loss of value, we are able to shift focus away from crypto prices and look at some of the more significant developments that hint at the direction we may be taking as 2019 comes to an end.

The recent launch of Bakkt’s physically delivered BTC futures service alongside Binance US officially getting underway are two of the more positive recent developments, however, depending on your stand on the issue of Bitcoin ETFs, the SEC opting to delay making a decision on the Wilshire Phoenix ETF proposal allows us to assume that there is still a long way to go before a Bitcoin ETF proposal is given the green light. The fact that both VanEck and SolidX have withdrawn their Bitcoin ETF proposals from SEC review strengthens this view and the year may end without there being any obvious stimuli for bullish BTC speculators.

🗞 Insider Newsletter #16 | October 14th, 2019 🗞

We now have two scenarios based on the levels that we had before, and the local H12 SR that formed after we lost the July floor. Just like last week, if we do somehow manage to reclaim the H12 level (the one highlighted in blue), then chances are we shoot back into the July floor. Keep reading the analysis for this week.
