About The Show

RedKiteNFT is delighted to announce the imminent launch of their pioneering Humanity show, a unique NFT launch, the first of its kind, bringing together 33 artists to raise funds for refugees affected by conflict worldwide.

This groundbreaking show, marrying the worlds of NFTs and Fine Art for the first time, will consist of one artwork per artist, sold in limited editions of eight, with 256 NFTs on the Polygon blockchain available for sale.

It marks the beginning of a series of exciting drops orchestrated by RedKiteNFT, curating works from a community of contemporary artists to transcend traditional art collection and bring it to the NFT space on Web3.

“Humanity has been a voyage of discovery for us. The charities we’ve been working with have opened our eyes to the global refugee crisis and the amazing long-term support they provide. It’s compelling motivation to try and pull something off on this scale, so early in our journey.”

“The support and generosity of all the artists, partners and our discord community have been incredible. There’s a lot to be proud of, the artwork is spectacular and we hope to raise a significant amount to donate through this group show.” James Robbins, CMO of RedKiteNFT

The show’s catalyst is the current Ukraine conflict. Through the help and support of the wider art world, art collectors, creatives and fans alike, RedKiteNFT intends to bring awareness to this and other nations stricken by conflict worldwide.

Global crises have caused the displacement of thousands of communities, RedKiteNFT recognises this and wants to show their support through donating proceeds to the following charities:

  • The Refugee Council is a leading charity working with refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK. Founded in 1951, following the creation of the UN Refugee Convention, they exist to support and empower people who have made the heart breaking decision to flee conflict, violence and persecution in order to rebuild their lives here in the UK.
  • The Voices of Children Foundation provide emergency assistance to women and children – refugees from all over Ukraine – essentials, settlement and relocation;provide psychological assistance to children and parents affected by the war; arranging centers for group classes with children who were evacuated from the shelling areas; provide individual assistance to families with children affected by the war.
  • UNICEF UK, Children’s Emergency Fund The impacts of conflict, COVID-19, climate change, and other disasters are being felt around the world. And, as is so often the case in times of crisis, it is children and young people who are feeling these effects the hardest. UNICEF UK’s Children’s Emergency Fund (CEF) is helping to address this, providing a vital and urgent response before, during and after emergencies. Every year, thanks to the generosity of their supporters UNICEF UK responds to around 300 emergency situations. Not all of these will make the news and some will quickly be forgotten but all of them have an impact on children.

Of the 70:30 per cent split each NFT usually has with RedKite and artist collaboration, RedKite will be donating 25% to the charities, retaining 5% to cover costs. All collaborating artists will donate 35% with the voluntary option to donate more. With this and the help of the art world community, RedKite hopes to make a significant contribution to the aid provided by the supported charities.

“I think the recent news has touched us all in some way, leaving us feeling somewhat helpless. As with any global crisis, artists are some of the first to get involved to help out, and as an NFT platform with access to these artists and a means to raise funds, RedKite made the quick decision to put on Humanity, to aid refugee charities.”

“We have some fantastic artists in our line-up, most of whom jumped at the chance to be involved, turning around some brilliant works in a short space of time. This show will not disappoint.” Angie Davey, Founder and Curator, RedKiteNFT

NFTs will be dropped in editions of eight. NFT artwork will be available to view on the Humanity campaign site, soon to be followed by listing on the redkitenft.io marketplace with respective countdown timers to launch. Keep an eye on the RedKiteNFT Discord for the latest updates and sneak peeks. You’ll probably bump into some of the artists for a chat there too.

With varying prices, art enthusiasts and seasoned art collectors can come together to celebrate art and its evolution while knowing the money they invest is going towards a good cause.

Additionally, a donation button will offer collectors and fans the chance to donate any sum to the cause. No matter the amount, donors will receive a thank you NFT from RedKiteNFT that will grant them access to various benefits and bring a community of art lovers together through the kind act of supporting the cause.

From the RedKiteNFT Discord channel, verified Humanity NFT holders, including RedKite thank you NFT, will have access to the private HUMANITY Discord channel. Within which, RedKiteNFT will run exclusive regular promos with the collaborating artists to reward investors’ charity support.

By

Metarise is forging new paths in the metaverse landscape, building an immersive digital universe that blends high-quality, low-poly graphics with the robust capabilities of the M20 Chain blockchain, all powered by Unreal Engine. This innovative platform merges reality with virtual spaces to create an interactive environment where users can live, work, and play.

Vibrant Digital Ecosystems: Cityland and Funland 

At the heart of Metarise lies Cityland, the bustling urban core that serves as the central hub for commerce, art, and social interaction. With its vibrant streets lined with shops, showrooms, galleries, and more, Cityland is where creativity meets community. Not far from the urban excitement is Funland, a sanctuary of joy and entertainment, offering a retreat where users can engage in games, sports, and various leisure activities. Both these areas are anchored by the iconic Metarise Tower, a towering structure that stands as a testament to the possibilities of virtual architecture and the central node from which all activity in Metarise radiates.

The Role of Riser Token in Metarise 

The pulse of this digital universe is the Riser Token ($RIS), a metaverse utility token that facilitates not only commerce but also enables a variety of interactions and transactions within the Metarise ecosystem. From purchasing virtual land to trading goods and accessing exclusive services, the Riser Token is essential for navigating and leveraging the full potential of Metarise.

Empowering Users and Businesses 

Metarise is more than just a virtual space; it is a versatile platform designed to accommodate the diverse needs of individuals and businesses alike. Users can escape the monotony of traditional digital interactions and immerse themselves in a vibrant 3D environment that offers an enriched form of social connectivity. For businesses, Metarise provides a range of tools and spaces for virtual offices, allowing companies to maintain operations, host conferences, and interact with clients without geographical constraints.

Innovative Real Estate and Investment Opportunities 

One of the standout features of Metarise is its approach to virtual real estate. Through its Initial Land Offering (ILO), users have the opportunity to invest in virtual land, represented as unique NFTs on the M20 blockchain. This allows for the development of personalized real estate projects, from digital offices and private properties to commercial spaces, which can be further monetized through rentals or providing specialized services.

MetaRise is excited to announce the opening of our Initial Land Offering (ILO), a unique opportunity for early adopters to participate in the early stages of our expansive metaverse. This early phase of development offers potential for growth as the platform evolves, though it’s important to remember that all investments carry inherent risks and returns are not guaranteed. As you consider joining us in shaping the future of MetaRise, we encourage you to make informed decisions.

A Hub for Brands and Creators

It’s a platform where brands can interact with their audience in meaningful ways, leveraging the unique capabilities of virtual reality, augmented reality, and AI to deliver memorable brand experiences.

Metarise envisions a world where digital and physical realities converge to create a seamless universe of endless possibilities. It’s not just about creating a space for users to interact; it’s about redefining the essence of community and connectivity. As Metarise continues to expand and evolve, it invites users from all corners of the globe to explore its myriad offerings, engage with its vibrant community, and contribute to the ever-growing expanse of this digital frontier.

Unizen Announces Deployment of Enhanced Ethereum Gas Optimization and ULDMv3, Transforming DeFi Trading

Crypto Chain Wire

Published

May 2, 2024

By

Unizen has successfully deployed two pivotal updates that are set to transform the decentralized finance (DeFi) industry: Enhanced Ethereum Gas Optimization and ULDMv3. These advancements redefine efficiency and cost-effectiveness, greatly enhancing the trading experience for DeFi users.

 Enhanced Ethereum Gas Optimization is Now Live 

This update significantly reduces Ethereum transaction costs by 40-50% for all users and by 60-70% for integrators. By streamlining transaction processes, this optimization not only makes decentralized trading more accessible but also significantly reduces overhead costs, allowing traders to operate more freely and cost-effectively.

 ULDMv3: A Revolutionary Upgrade in Liquidity Distribution 

ULDMv3, the third iteration of the Unizen Liquidity Distribution Mechanism, marks a monumental shift in the way trades are executed on the platform. This isn’t merely an incremental improvement; it’s a complete transformation designed to enhance the trading framework significantly. Unizen CTO, Martin Granström, describes ULDMv3 as a “revolution in liquidity sourcing that sets new industry benchmarks.”

 Key Enhancements in ULDMv3 Include: 

Key Enhancements in ULDMv3:

  • Faster Quote Speeds: With ULDMv3, Unizen has dramatically increased the speed at which quotes are retrieved and trades are executed. This enhancement ensures that users experience minimal latency, making real-time trading more efficient and responsive. The ability to quickly process quotes is crucial in the fast-paced world of DeFi, where market conditions can change in seconds. 
  • Reduced Gas Costs: ULDMv3 builds upon Unizen’s already competitive gas fee structure by optimizing the underlying algorithms to further reduce costs. This is achieved through smarter contract interactions and streamlined transactions that minimize the gas required for each trade. This reduction in gas costs makes trading more affordable and sustainable, especially beneficial during high network congestion periods. 
  • Cross-chain Trade Splitting: A standout feature of ULDMv3 is its ability to facilitate cross-chain trade splitting. This functionality enables the mechanism to split trades across different blockchains, maximizing token output on the receiving chain. This is done through seamless token swaps that leverage the unique strengths of multiple blockchains, thereby optimizing trade value and efficiency. 
  • Enhanced Token Routing: The routing mechanism in ULDMv3 has been upgraded to select the most optimal paths for token transfers automatically. This ensures that users receive the best possible rates and outputs by navigating through the complex landscape of liquidity pools and trading pairs. This smarter routing translates to better returns and reduced slippage for users. 
  • Machine Learning Integration: At the core of ULDMv3’s advanced capabilities is its integration of machine learning technologies. These systems continuously analyze market conditions and liquidity pool interactions to refine and optimize trading strategies. By learning from each transaction, ULDMv3 adapts and evolves, offering increasingly efficient trade executions.

The development of ULDMv3, which spanned nearly a year, reflects Unizen’s commitment to innovation and quality. This upgrade not only optimizes the technical mechanics of trading but also introduces adaptive, self-improving algorithms that dynamically adjust to real-time market conditions.

With these updates, Unizen solidifies its leadership in the DeFi space, empowering its community with the very best tools available. These enhancements promise to deliver unprecedented value to Unizen’s users and set new standards in decentralized trading efficiency.

Experience these upgrades via our web-based application at www.zcx.com, or our recently released mobile app available on the google play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unizen_mobile_dapp

The ZCX Token:

$ZCX, as the core token of Unizen, significantly enhances the trading experience by maximizing profitability. It acts not only as a facilitator in this process but also offers users the chance to earn passive income through the platform’s Earn feature. This feature allows token holders to stake their $ZCX and receive rewards, adding an attractive layer of utility to the token. The integration of $ZCX into Unizen’s upcoming Layer 1 solution marks a significant leap forward. This integration is designed to elevate the functionality of $ZCX by embedding it deeper within the ecosystem, where it can play an even more central role in transaction processes and governance mechanisms.

Unizen’s strategic development of its own Layer 1 blockchain, which is currently in stealth mode, is a pivotal part of its expansion. This blockchain is tailored to support both programmable and non-programmable chains, thereby broadening its applicability and potential user base. The design aims to boost interoperability among different blockchain technologies within Unizen’s ecosystem, facilitating smoother and more efficient cross-chain transactions. This enhancement is crucial for driving wider adoption and easier access to web3 technologies, making them more user-friendly and integrated.

The introduction of Unizen’s Layer 1 blockchain is poised to redefine the way users interact with the platform, offering them more seamless, secure, and swift transactions. It promises to leverage the inherent strengths of $ZCX, ensuring that the token not only increases in utility but also in value, as it becomes an integral part of a larger, more interconnected ecosystem. This development aims to attract a diverse group of users, from seasoned traders to those new to the web3 space, enhancing their overall experience and engagement with decentralized finance.

Unizen is an entirely new category of DEX Aggregator with comprehensive omni-chain access and UTXO support. We offer unparalleled returns on decentralized trades industry-wide. Even compared to leading DEX Aggregators like 1inch, Paraswap, and Matcha.
