The Bazaars Project launches peer-to-peer marketplace app to Exchange goods, vehicles or property for crypto

British Virgin Islands, Jun 30, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - The Bazaars Project has launched its peer-to-peer marketplace app in the Apple App and Google Play stores. The app allows users to buy and sell goods, property, and vehicles with cryptocurrency. This milestone is significant for the Bazaars Project's mission to create a proof-of-stake blockchain network and a decentralized peer-to-peer marketplace."The crypto market value is more than $2 trillion.

The Bazaars Project is aiming to change this by providing a marketplace where people can buy and sell everyday products and valuable assets using cryptocurrency," said Cryptomoe, founder of the Bazaars Project.The Bazaars Project has also launched BZR, its ERC20 token. The token is now available on the Uniswap exchange, with other exchanges coming soon. Token holders will earn a percentage of the transaction fees collected from the Bazaars marketplace.Future phases of the project will enable users to create and deploy smart contracts and decentralized apps individually or in groups without the need for a third party.The Bazaars marketplace app is not bound by national or regional borders. Customers can shop securely and privately from any location. The Bazaars app does not collect, store, or track sensitive data. Users can register using their mobile phone numbers and email addresses and the app will only collect information required by the app stores."We believe in a world where anyone can buy products privately and securely, no matter where they live or what currency they use. Payments need to be easy, instant, and private. And the ability to trade needs to be in the hands of buyers and sellers," added Cryptomoe. "The future of commerce is online, with crypto. Bazaars wants to help make crypto commerce a reality."The Bazaars marketplace is using Coinbase Commerce for payments. Its delivery and logistics partner is Aramex, a global provider based in the UAE, one of the worlds' largest trading hubs.About Bazaars ProjectThe Bazaars Project was established in September 2021. It was set up by a group of experienced entrepreneurs and investors to provide a proof-of-stake decentralized blockchain network to drive crypto commerce adoption worldwide.

MC and Maruha Nichiro Agree to Establish New Joint Venture in Salmon (land-based) JCN Newswire

MC and Maruha Nichiro Agree to Establish New Joint Venture in Salmon (land-based)

TOKYO, Jun 30, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) and Maruha Nichiro Corporation (Maruha Nichiro) are pleased to announce our agreement to establish a new joint venture company, ATLAND Corporation (ATLAND), that will specialize in the land-based production of salmon. ATLAND will be established in Nyuzen town of Toyama prefecture in around October 2022.1 The investment ratio of ATLAND will be MC 51% and Maruha Nichiro 49%. Following the establishment of the company, a land-based aquaculture facility with a capacity of 2,500 tons (live weight equivalent) will be constructed in Nyuzen town, with the aims of starting operations in 2025 and completing the first delivery in 2027. MC and Maruha Nichiro have been discussing the joint promotion of this project since March 2021. This project is expected to help develop a sustainable and stable land-based production system, efficient digital-tech-based operations, local production for local consumption, and progress in decarbonization. Our companies are both dedicated to leveraging our strengths and businesses to simultaneously generate economic, environmental and societal value. Local Production for Local Consumption of SalmonThere are few suitable locations for conventional salmon aquaculture, due to the need for year-round low seawater temperatures, mild weather and wave activity. For those reasons, the vast majority of the world's farmed salmon is produced in Norway and Chile, but expectations are that global demand for this high-quality animal protein will continue to grow in the future. The aim of our joint project is to create a local-production-for-local-consumption business model in Japan's salmon industry. Low-Carbon, Carbon-Free / DigitalizationThis business model is expected to produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to the practice of importing fresh salmon to Japan by air from salmon-farming countries.In addition, land-based aquaculture that uses Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)2 is highly compatible with digital technologies. These systems use advanced water-treatment technologies to control and manage the farming environment. By employing these methods, we aim to take advantage of AI and IoT to stabilize production, and otherwise optimize our own salmon farming operations. Water Resources in Nyuzen TownATLAND's facility uses ground water originating from the Kurobe River and deep seawater3 from the Toyama bay. Deep seawater is characterized by its cleanliness and low, stable temperature, which makes it possible to operate the facility by reducing the amount of energy required to create a water environment suitable for land-based production. 1. Completion of this project is subject to the approval of the relevant regulatory authorities.2. This model of land-based salmon aquaculture involves using special technologies to circulate water in and out of tanks where the fish are raised. The water is treated, removed of waste, and cleaned before it is pumped back into the tanks. This creates a controlled environment that supports health and welfare of the salmon throughout the growth cycle.3. In Toyama prefecture, a large amount of low-temperature "Japan Sea Proper Water" exists at depths of 300m or more. Copyright 2022 JCN Newswire. All rights reserved. (via SEAPRWire)

Galaxy Survivor, a new 3D NFT Game, aims to foster the next blockchain gaming generation SeaPRwire

Galaxy Survivor, a new 3D NFT Game, aims to foster the next blockchain gaming generation

Hanoi, Vietnam, June 30, 2022 – (SEAPRWire) – Virtual Game Studio, one of the renowned game studios in the billion-dollar industry, has introduced a highly anticipated NFT game, Galaxy Survivor. Galaxy Survivor is a real-time strategy game that combines the competitive play-to-earn [P2E] model, well-thought-out role-playing, and NFT gaming technology. Leveraging blockchain technology, Galaxy Survivor allows gamers to enjoy an immersive, truly satisfying, and competitive game while completing missions, joining battles, and after that, receiving colossal and tradeable rewards. Galaxy Survivor aims to introduce a stable NFT gaming economy. Many NFT games are unsustainable and shallow – excess supply of tokens, unrealistic mint ratios, and the current fad of pumping and dumping tokens. Galaxy Survivor hopes to solve these sticking points and NFT devaluation by creating a brand-new NFT system called NFTism Balancing system includes NFT Recycle System, Rental Mechanism and NFT Quantity Limit System with DAO voting. Galaxy Survivor NFT Game Integrating a unique theme bordering galaxies and warships, all Galaxy Survivor NFTs are designed by strong in-house team from sketch to finish. The team’s decision to undertake this task aligns with Galaxy Survivor’s greater goal to showcase creativity and enthusiasm. One standout feature of the Galaxy Survivor NFT is the well-crafted, smooth 3D designs that deliver an unreal viewing experience for players. Galaxy Survivor employs different cinematic angles, giving players an unprecedented visual experience. Augmented Reality [AR] technology enhances the game visuals, allowing players to interact with game characters and artifacts, indirectly increasing NFT value. To curb the ongoing devaluation of NFTs, Galaxy Survivor presents NFT rental, voting, and recycling mechanisms. Galaxy Survivor NFT Types Galaxy Survivor integrates a divergent NFT system. There are 78 unique models of warships and over 300 models of wargears and gems. These idiosyncratic ranges of NFTs enable players to equip warships seamlessly. The varying NFTs in the Galaxy Survivor universe are – NFT Blueprints, NFT Warships, NFT Wargear, and NFT Legacy Gems. The NFT Warships are specifically for building the strongest team. This NFT type will have five unique rarity levels; Normal, Rare, Super-rare (SR), Super SR, and Ultra rare. NFT Blueprints will comprise a mysterious box containing a variety of NFT Warships that players can either buy or win by participating in several events. NFT Wargears are tiny parts of warships. Each will have individual stats and skill sets capable of boosting the power of the warships. The Wargear NFT type has three levels of uniqueness – Iron, Silver, and Gold. The NFT Legacy Gems, on the other hand, will have a direct attachment to warships. Gamers can utilize Legacy Gems to equip and strengthen their warships, dispelling the need to buy a new Warship NFT. The distinctive nature of the Galaxy Survivor NFT allows gamers to customize NFT holdings conveniently. By personalizing the Warship NFTs, these tokens will have more real value besides the obvious one – in-game character. Galaxy Survivor Solutions to prevent NFT devaluation As part of its long-term plans to address NFT devaluation, Galaxy Survivor incorporates an NFT recycling system, voting mechanism, NFT quantity limit, and a rental mechanism. In the Galaxy Survivor Universe, all NFTs such as Warships, Wargears and Legacy Gem will have a fixed-durability stat which will be burn down when being used. Along with that, each NFT also has a maximum number of times to be repaired (Warships, Wargears) or recharged (Legacy Gems). When those resources are used up, NFTs will be converted into “Broken NFTs” which only have collectible value and can no longer be used in the Game, except in NFT Recycle System. The NFT recycling system is where players can combine broken NFTs into a new NFT with a higher rarity and strength than the old NFT. This Gacha mechanism will attract many players to buy broken NFTs to try their luck and the marketplace will become more vibrant and create liquidity for broken NFTs. Galaxy Survivor aims to build a thrilling gaming universe where players can enjoy genuinely satisfying gameplay in a balanced game economy. To improve the game quality and the experience of gamers, the team constantly releases new versions and attracts thousands of registered accounts. Players can play the game HERE. That’s not all: Galaxy Survivor has launched strategic marketing campaigns that will keep gamers engaged with the project as well as share more about their diverse NFT system and innovative methods that make them one of the leading projects for the new generation of blockchain games. To fully experience the features and the well-designed NFT items, Galaxy Survivor will soon announce INO rounds in which the community can purchase their favorite NFTs for a strong formation when taking part in the battles. If you want to sign up for early participation, go to Galaxy Survivor Marketplace and purchase Ticket Sale to reserve whitelist slots and get discounts for the INO rounds with many other rewards: Special NFT items valued $2000, various kinds of NFT and in-game items, Oculus VR Headset, stable coins, and so on. About Galaxy Survivor Galaxy Survivor is the brainchild of Virtual Game Studio. It was designed to provide a fantastic gaming experience where players can enjoy exciting, strategic P2E-based, competitive battles and embark on adventurous missions. Employing advanced technology, Galaxy Survivor introduces a new concept capable of abating NFT devaluation in the P2E gaming industry.

CortDAO Racing W Series Team Launches NFT Initiative To Supercharge Women’s Participation In Motorsports ACN Newswire

CortDAO Racing W Series Team Launches NFT Initiative To Supercharge Women’s Participation In Motorsports

Hopes to raise GBP1million with initial release; proceeds go to team sponsorship and CortDAO's W Series investment LONDON, June 30, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Women have been historically underrepresented in motorsport due to the lack of funding and opportunity. CortDAO, in partnership with W Series, is looking to change that dynamic. By appealing to the Web3 community and a growing women's motorsports fanbase, CortDAO is launching its first-ever series of NFTs, with its proceeds to be invested in W Series. CortDAO was founded by Michael Livingston with the mission to build a community-led platform that could authentically promote female racers and further women in motorsports. The first step of its mission was to launch a team in W Series, the world's first free-to-enter single-seater motor racing championship for women. Unveiled in March, the CortDAO Racing W Series Team now competes in the 2022 season of W Series and is preparing for the upcoming round at Silverstone, UK, alongside the F1 Lenovo British Grand Prix this weekend. CortDAO is looking at new ways to involve the Web3 community in its crowdfunding ventures, as well as engage with corporate sponsors who believe in its mission. With W Series Round 4 around the corner, the focus is now on releasing CortDAO's first-ever NFTs (non-fungible tokens) to secure additional investment. Launching on 30 June - a total of 10,000 NFTs depicting two bespoke CortDAO Racing assets (5,000 NFTs of each design with a unique identifier from 1 to 5,000) will be issued. The two designs, created by Team Quantum Punks, will be 3D virtual depictions of the limited-edition racing helmets of team drivers Marta Garcia (21, ESP) and Fabienne Wohlwend (24, LIE). One-third of the proceeds from the sale of CortDAO NFTs will go towards sponsorship of the team, and two-thirds of the proceeds will go towards CortDAO's investment in W Series Limited at the last traded price. CortDAO is looking to raise GBP1milion in this initial release, and in time, CortDAO will offer purchasers the opportunity to convert each NFT into a token. Michael Livingston (Founder CortDAO) "We have had many people wanting to assist in growing W Series and women's racing and have tried to price our NFTs as affordable as possible to our fanbase. Our NFTs will bring fans closer to the action and allow them to feel a sense of pride as their money will go towards supporting women struggling to succeed in a male-dominated sport. CortDAO will not receive any profits from the sale of its NFTs, so our intentions are genuine. The proceeds after costs will flow to W Series so that purchasers will be helping not only CortDAO and our brilliant drivers, Fabienne Wohlwend and Marta Garcia, but also the whole W Series."
