Inaugural ZENCON a resounding success

Published

on

Over 200 participants and attendees of the 68-Hour-Hackathon produced 24 projects across 5 categories on the newly introduced ZENIQ Smartchain. Conference to return next year.

It wasn’t only the views that were breathtaking. Once the virtual dust had settled, so were the results of the inaugural “ZENCON Technology Conference and Innovation Awards Hackathon” at the Grand Hyatt Hotel conference location in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Under a strict time limit of just 68 hours the attendees of the Hackathon event produced stunning results that made the high-caliber jury of Shahin Kamran (Vice President Blockchain Product Development & Innovation at Mastercard), Oderli Ferriani (CEO TUPAN.io a S.E.C regulated token), Rodrigo Espinosa (DIRECTOR at Greentech cluster & International Cleantech network), Mag. Erwin Dokter (CEO of ZENIQ(R) Technologies Ltd.) and Fernando Unzue (Business Technical Director in Data Loyalty) wonder if it would be fair to declare winners.

“We knew we arguably had some of the brightest minds in blockchain development on site here in Mexico. But then these hackers came storming out of the gates and the results were nothing short of spectacular,” said Dokter, co-founder of ZENIQ, the company behind ZENCON. “It’s exactly what we hoped for – an in-person event that would spark creativity and showcase what the ZENIQ Blockchain and Smartchain really are capable of.”

It is fair to say that the conference checked both boxes. In total, 200 developers and innovators attended the conference, making the inaugural event a resounding success. 24 projects were created across five categories. Eventually, the jury had to make a call and awarded these projects prizes ranging between 10,000 and 20,000 USD.

The second inaugural “ZENCON Technology Conference and Innovation Awards Hackathon” will be held in June 2023. The location will be announced at a later point in time.

The Key to Mass Adoption: QuantumFusion’s Developer-Friendly SDK

Published

on

  • Why dApps Haven’t Reached the Mainstream

Blockchain technology has long promised to revolutionize our digital interactions, yet widespread adoption remains slow. Other than the battle for regulatory clarity necessary for institutional capital to flow into DeFi and other utility sectors, there are three key fundamentals we believe are currently inadequate for mass adoption:

  1. Speed
  2. Cost
  3. Reliability

Ethereum has the largest DeFi market cap by a significant margin; according to DeFiLlama, over 60% of the total value locked in DeFi is on Ethereum, even higher if you bundle in its Layer-2 solutions, like Arbitrum and Optimism. 

But nobody can reliably use Ethereum at a reasonable cost. Data from Etherscan gives an average of $23.36 per swap as of 11/18/2024, completely unfeasible for the average user. Additionally, Ethereum’s time to settle a transaction (finality) of 12-15 minutes and the very low transaction per second the network can handle (15-30 TPS) is not up to the task of mass adoption. 

We’ll give Ethereum its due; it is extremely reliable, and this is a contributing factor in its dominant position within the DeFi space. Everyone wants to build on Ethereum, but relatively few can afford to use what is being built. 

You might have heard people say, “Solana has none of the issues facing Ethereum; it’s cheaper and faster!”

And they’d be correct, but only on the speed and cost front. 

One of the critical issues facing Solana is reliability. Blockchain outages cause the near-complete shutdown of all on-chain activities. During these outages, many are left helpless, watching themselves get liquidated and unable to do anything about it. To put it simply, fast and cheap is only useful if you aren’t left with your pants down when the network crashes. 

All of this is to say the user experience for most dApps is not where it needs to be: useable but nowhere near the standard of Web2. As seen in the case of Ethereum, utility developers want to build on a chain that won’t break, has excellent performance characteristics, and, most importantly, is developer-friendly.

We don’t have to reinvent the wheel. No advancement in computing is required; we’re not talking about a theoretical, futuristic concept that will take decades to realize. 

Henry Ford didn’t invent the car, he just figured out how to make them faster and more efficiently than everyone else.

QuantumFusion is to the blockchain industry what Ford was to the auto industry.

But how?
High Transaction Throughput for a Seamless User Experience

QuantumFusion’s infrastructure revolutionizes transaction speed and cost, addressing the limitations of slower blockchains like Ethereum. Powered by the SPIN (Short-term Parallel Incremental Network agreement) consensus protocol, it achieves 0.1-second block finality, enabling real-time transactions without bottlenecks or delays–essential for applications like gaming or high-frequency trading.

Faster, cheaper transactions significantly enhance user experience, reducing frustrating wait times and making blockchain applications practical for everyday use. Scalability is central to QuantumFusion’s design, supporting high-demand, real-time applications without congestion. 

With 100-millisecond finality and targeting 10,000+ TPS, QuantumFusion enables a plethora of blockchain applications:

  • Real-time social networks with real-time posts and interactions.
  • Blockchain gaming with secure, verified assets and actions.
  • Financial applications with fast, reliable settlements comparable to centralized exchanges.
  • Collaborative tools for seamless decentralized teamwork; on-chain Google Docs.

Unlike networks that struggle under heavy loads, QuantumFusion embraces them by balancing speed, cost, and reliability, enabling a robust ecosystem for developers and users alike. 

QuantumFusion sets the stage for blockchain’s mainstream adoption.

QuantumFusion’s Native-First SDK: Simplifying Development for Mass Adoption

For blockchain to achieve mass adoption, developers need tools that are powerful, intuitive, and designed with real-world usability in mind. QuantumFusion’s native-first SDK aims to redefine how dApps are built, focusing on seamless integration and superior performance in both desktop and mobile environments—where users increasingly interact with technology.

Most crypto participants are using their mobiles; as of January 2024, 63% of visitors to Kraken’s website accessed the platform via mobile devices, while just 37% used desktop computers.

To meet market demand, it is essential to cater to mobile users. To do that, the infrastructure must build a development environment with that in mind. QuantumFusion has built its SDK utilizing light clients like Smoldot to provide mobile users with real-time, low-latency experiences.

Unlike many existing platforms that prioritize web-first development, QuantumFusion’s SDK delivers a native-first approach, enabling dApps to feel as intuitive and responsive as traditional Web2 applications. 

Additionally, through Smoldot, QuantumFusion’s SDK supports WebAssembly, enabling developers to work in their preferred programming languages–this acts as a talent multiplier; the pool of potential developers is huge. Empowering the creation of complex, scalable applications from DeFi platforms to real-time gaming is half the battle; attracting the creators is key.

The goal of the SDK is to create a future-proof environment where developers can create dApps for the end-user without being forced to optimize for desktop in a world where everyone is using mobile. Bridging the gap between user-friendly tools and blockchain innovation ensures developers can focus on building dApps that not only perform but also captivate.

QuantumFusion’s SDK is more than a toolkit—it’s the key to unlocking the QuantumFusion blockchain’s potential, paving the way for mainstream adoption with simplicity, efficiency, and accessibility at its core.

Join the QuantumFusion Revolution

Web3 has immense potential, but the issues of speed, cost, and reliability are barriers to a smooth user experience. No one will use infrastructure that only works sometimes, and even when it does, it costs a small fortune and an unreasonable length of time to do anything worthwhile.

If the Web3 experience isn’t at least on the same level as Web2, then how are we going to attract mainstream attention?

QuantumFusion is breaking through these limits with an ecosystem designed from the ground up to deliver what users and developers have long been waiting for: seamless, scalable, and accessible blockchain solutions.

That’s it; that’s the goal. 

Through their SDK, QuantumFusion equips developers to create dApps that feel as intuitive as the best Web2 applications. Whether for mobile or desktop, this toolkit empowers innovation with real-world usability and future-ready performance. Paired with 0.1-second block finality, QuantumFusion makes real-time, cost-effective transactions a reality.

This is more than just incremental improvement; it’s a reimagining of what blockchain can achieve with a roadmap of how we can get there. QuantumFusion’s infrastructure unlocks opportunities that have only been half-realized so far. It isn’t just solving old problems—it’s setting a new standard for what blockchain technology should deliver.

Explore QuantumFusion, follow their progress, and help us build a decentralized future for everyone.

MemeSparks.com Launches Innovative Service Integrating Web3 with AI Text-to-Video Technology

Published

on

MemeSparks.com, a revolutionary Web3 platform, announced the launch of the first-ever platform integrating Web3 with AI-driven text-to-video technology. This innovative platform has the potential to drastically reduce the time, cost, and resources of video production. Its goal is to help memecoin developers and teams produce high-quality products faster and at substantially lower costs. The newly-launched service is available in exchange for the $MEMEKS utility token and Solana (SOL).

MemeSparks.com harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to transform written scripts into prime video content. The platform relies on the transparency and security of smart contracts to facilitate safe transactions between creators and consumers. This technology ensures creators receive fair compensation for their work and clients engage in digital transactions within a secure environment.

The platform will be available globally, allowing creators from various backgrounds and geographical locations to receive appropriate financial reward for their content. More importantly, anyone in the world can become a video producer even if they lack the necessary skills but have an idea for video content.

MemeSparks.com is steadily building a powerful, decentralized ecosystem with a digital marketplace at its center. Here, creators can rent out or sell their content produced via the platform’s AI text-to-video technology. The marketplace will support two tokens, $MEMEKS or SOL coins. The generated profit goes to the Community Wallet, which is controlled by the developers. The latter have already pledged to give monthly reports on its use and will only get a 10% share from the wallet for their services. Another 10% will go toward the platform’s marketing and the $MEMEKS coin development. The platform’s website maintenance will receive 20% while the remaining 60% will be used according to the votes of $MEMEKS holders.

The platform will also have a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), allowing members to vote and decide marketing strategies, partnerships, airdrops, etc. Purchasing $MEMEKS tokens will automatically make users part of the DAO. The organization will function via two entities, the Council of Creators and the General Assembly. Every proposal advanced for voting will require a minimum quorum of 20% of total $MEMEKS. Lastly, the voting process will be 100% transparent to all members, and it will feature pre-voting discussions and clear rules to ensure complete fairness.

The advent of AI technology will reshape numerous industries, including video production. MemeSparks.com aims to spearhead the technological revolution in this field by delivering a user-friendly service for developers and creators. This platform fuses Web3 with AI text-to-video technology  to democratize video content production, and boost interactivity and engagement for audiences. It also uses a transparent and effective decentralized governance model to give consumers unmatched control over the digital art they create and the platform’s development.

Jay Chambers, CEO, Core Developer and founder of MemeSparks.com, commented on the platform’s mission:

“Our vision was to create a platform where creativity meets technology in its purest form. By integrating Web3 with AI text-to-video, we’re not just launching a product. We’re setting the stage for the next generation of digital content creators and consumers. This is about empowering people with tools that were once exclusive to large studios or tech giants.'”

The platform’s development does not end here. MemeSparks.com plans to introduce more features, including AI-driven editing tools, enhanced creator monetization options, and more interactive viewer experiences. Ultimately, the platform should become the meeting place for creators, investors, and technology enthusiasts, where they can innovate via a unique integration of Web3 and AI.
