Introducing: $SIMP, the #1 Entertainment Token

Published

3 years ago

on

$SIMP offers a unique solution to the issues faced by creators and consumers. By using blockchain technology to power their payment processing service for content providers, $SIMP aims to restore the freedom of content platforms to excite and entertain in an online social setting without interference from traditional financial institutions.

Ending Chargebacks and Extortionate Fees

To circumvent high-percentage transaction fees charged banks and payment providers for processing adult transactions, the $SIMP Token: 

  • Creates a bridging transaction between creators and banks, preventing transactions from being labelled as “high risk,” and protecting creators from the exorbitant fee structures that come with such designations.
  • Offers consumers the ability to protect their identity when purchasing content online and secure their right to privacy. Once the tokens are moved from an exchange to a DeFi wallet, they cease to be attached anything bearing the $SIMP holder’s personal information.
  • Eliminates the potential for “friendly frauds,” chargebacks, and illegitimate refunds by denying any third party the ability to move tokens between any two users without their owner digitally signing off on the transaction at the time it occurs.
  • Removes the ability of malicious third-parties to execute the theft of financial information through the use of legitimate-looking payment forms on deceptive websites designed to capture and fraudulently use credit card information.

The Core Team

The $SIMP team boasts a roster of highly dedicated, capable and skilled professionals who have publicly stated in the project’s whitepaper their plans for $SIMP to reach a minimum market capitalization target value of $150m, and expressed optimism about the token reaching significantly higher values in 2022 and beyond.

As of this writing, the team consists of:

CEO Ben Sansom: Ben has worked with some of the biggest names in corporate, sports, and entertainment over the course of his 8 year marketing career, with his primary focus being the setup and explosive growth of start-up projects.

COO James Hague: James is a qualified accountant with experience in numerous industries including commodities, gaming, and high-end sports cars. James brings with him the strong network he’s developed throughout his career, including through his work with some of the highest-performing McKinsey consultants in the Transformational sector.

Lead Developer Thomas Sileghem: Thomas has 7 years of experience in Web & Software Development apart from being involved in blockchain development for over 6 years, Thomas was responsible for building PocketStars & RocketStars and led the integration of $SIMP onto both the platforms.

Angel Investor: $SIMP’s anonymous investor has built and scaled businesses that are collectively worth billions of dollars. Having been a key component in multiple Silicon Valley startups, this investor offers highly valuable consultation to the team, and continues to leverage their extensive network within the tech, finance and crypto sectors to support the continued expansion of $SIMP.

$SIMP’s Rapidly-Developing Network

Having been integrated as a payment method on two content platforms, PocketStars and RocketStars, since its’ October launch, $SIMP has demonstrated its’ viability both as a stable payment processing tool and as a sustainable crypto token in a notably volatile market. This network of partnerships continues to grow with the recent announcement that popular retailer Phreak will also begin accepting the token as payment on their website. 

Additional partnerships include the digital business card provider Slink and xxxNifty, which controls a large NFT marketplace.

These brands offered some remarks on their partnerships with $SIMP:

SLINK – Your Digital Business Card

“Many PocketStars content creators were already using the Slink Platform, so it only seemed like a natural progression to build and develop our partnership with $SIMP. For the future, deeper integrations between ourselves will see $SIMP being pushed to our mainstream users as a simple and reliable payment service.”

PHREAK – Adult Fantasy Toys

“We are delighted to be partnering with $SIMP, bringing more pleasure to a wider Phreak community. We’ve worked with PocketStars creators several times before, so it was important for us to support and help them with the amazing work they’re doing, but also important to know how these guys see the world and how much they care about providing quality products and services.”

In late November, $SIMP began trading on BitMart, a Top-40 centralized crypto exchange by volume, and the development team announced yesterday that the token will also be listed on LBank, a truly trusted CEX.

Content creators have expressed a dire need for a secure, anonymous payment method that will allow them to earn a living on fair terms and protect consumers’ right to privacy; $SIMP is uniquely positioned to offer solutions to problems within the industry that have been, until now, unavoidable.

Magnetizing Talent

In addition to the many brand relationships the $SIMP team is cultivating, they have found themselves receiving numerous correspondences from $SIMP holders with great interest in joining the team on their mission.

In the last month, two new recruits have joined the team full-time: 

Head of Talent, Poppy Evans: With a following of over 100,000 generated over just two years in the adult industry, Poppy has developed a strong passion for the income security of fellow creators. Her perspective allows the team to examine its’ development course from a creator’s perspective and ensure that the team’s actions are perpetually in line with its’ stated mission and values.

Director of Content, Matthew Killinger: In addition to his writing talent, Matthew brings with him the flexible planning and organizational abilities developed over the course of his building management career, and consistently enables the simultaneous execution of multiple projects with efficacy.

Powering the Payment Processing Solution

The $SIMP team is constantly evaluating means to improve their already-functional payment processing system, and have embarked on a campaign to optimize it for ease-of-use, convenience, and efficiency as they pursue mass adoption across their host platforms.

The most imminent upgrades, announced in the company’s recently-released Whitepaper 2.0, will bring: 

  • The addition of an on-ramp, allowing credit cards to be used on platform for fiat-to-crypto transactions without the need for a crypto exchange 
  • A $SIMP/USD toggle, allowing creators and retailers to split their earnings between USD and $SIMP at a percentage of their choosing 
  • UI improvements, and several new interfaces designed to make every interaction with $SIMP as simple and intuitive as possible.

NFTs and expansion into the Metaverse

In addition to building a cryptocurrency token, $SIMP has announced the development of an NFT marketplace, where they intend to collaborate with PocketStars creators to mint NFTs tied to real-life content creators and underpinned by collectability, customization mechanics, and gamification to offer a truly unique product in an emerging market.

The optimized payment processing solution will be the bedrock that $SIMP’s adult Metaverse is built upon. Once established, the world will include NFT marketplaces, merchandise stores, and social hangouts such as the $SIMP Lounge. 

Upon the injection of their core community and 16,000+ content creators, it will become a living, breathing world; the $SIMP Metaverse, first of its’ kind.

The Whitepaper

In keeping with their dedication to transparency, the $SIMP team has published one of the most well-written, cohesive, and in-depth whitepapers seen in the market to date. If you would like further details on the project, they can be found within this 37-page document at https://letsallsimp.com/SIMP_Whitepaper.pdf.

Conclusion

Content creators have expressed a dire need for a secure, anonymous payment method that will allow them to earn a living on fair terms and protect consumers’ right to privacy; $SIMP is uniquely positioned to offer solutions to problems within the industry that have been, until now, unavoidable.

æternity Integrating with BitcoinOS Bringing Scalability, Smart Contracts, and dApps to Bitcoin

Published

November 28, 2024

By

The æternity-BitcoinOS integration will bring DeFi, scalability, and cost-effectiveness to Bitcoin users while unlocking Bitcoin’s vast liquidity to the æternity ecosystem

æternity and BitcoinOS are joining forces, unlocking new DeFi and dApp possibilities for Bitcoin users and bridging two powerful ecosystems to drive real-world blockchain adoption. Bitcoin holders know the frustration of owning a powerhouse digital asset without the means to put it to work in DeFi or dApps. As the world stands on the brink of mass blockchain adoption, interoperability between blockchains is no longer optional—it’s essential.

BitcoinOS is a groundbreaking infrastructure layer designed to give Bitcoin a new level of functionality. By enabling Bitcoin to “see” and interact with other blockchains without the need for oracles or trusted 3rd parties, BitcoinOS acts as a universal operating system that lets Bitcoin serve as more than just a digital asset—it becomes an intelligent layer for cross-chain interactions. This allows Bitcoin to securely access DeFi, dApps, and other advanced applications, tapping into the capabilities of other blockchains without compromising its core security and simplicity. Soon, most blockchains will be connected to the Grail bridge – BitcoinOS’s zero-knowledge solution for moving assets between Bitcoin and other chains with cryptographic integrity, with æternity being one of the first chains trusted to spearhead this game-changing technology.

æternity’s partnership with BitcoinOS follows the recent Cardano-BitcoinOS integration but adds even greater scalability and flexibility to Bitcoin through the use of Hyperchains. This alliance opens real DeFi opportunities for BTC users and leverages æternity’s advanced blockchain technology—including the FATE Virtual Machine, state channels, and integrated oracles—to enhance scalability and enable smart contract functionality within the Bitcoin ecosystem.

It’s a win-win: BTC’s $1.5 trillion liquidity can now be put to work across diverse applications, while æternity’s ecosystem thrives with access to Bitcoin’s extensive user base. This partnership is about giving BTC the utility it deserves while upholding the utmost standards of decentralization that both the Bitcoin and æternity communities stand for.

æternity and Bitcoin: A Natural Fit

As æternity’s core philosophy has always been akin to the principles upheld by the Bitcoin network, this integration comes naturally. Beyond that, Bitcoin and æternity share a fundamental architectural compatibility, making this partnership especially powerful. æternity’s consensus protocol, Bitcoin-NG, is directly inspired by Bitcoin’s foundational model, adapted to enable higher transaction throughput and scalability without compromising security. This makes æternity an ideal match for integrating with Bitcoin’s robust, proven network.

By aligning with BitcoinOS, æternity can leverage this shared protocol foundation to create a seamless flow of assets and data across both chains, bridging Bitcoin’s unmatched liquidity with æternity’s flexible smart contracts and high-speed processing. This compatibility allows Bitcoin holders to tap into DeFi and dApp ecosystems effortlessly while maintaining the integrity and trust they rely on from Bitcoin.

Through its upcoming hyperchains consensus upgrade, æternity will soon allow anyone to permissionlessly launch their own æternity-like sidechains for either private or public use. With this, businesses will be able to leverage æternity’s technology to launch blockchains tailored to their needs. 

The BitcoinOS x Hyperchains Effect: Unlocking Decentralization for Enterprise

This integration will significantly enhance Bitcoin’s utility, enabling BTC holders—from individuals to institutions—to leverage their assets across DeFi and dApps, all while remaining within the security perimeter of the Bitcoin network. With the addition of æternity’s Hyperchains, BitcoinOS can now access scalable, secure, and customizable blockchain networks optimized for enterprise needs.

Imagine an institution holding substantial Bitcoin reserves, now able to leverage those assets without the usual complexities. Through its upcoming Hyperchains consensus upgrade, æternity will soon allow anyone to permissionlessly launch their own æternity-style sidechains for private or public use. This flexibility means businesses can leverage æternity’s technology to create blockchains customized to their specific requirements, opening up endless possibilities for industry applications. Through Hyperchains—side-chains tethered for security to major blockchains like Bitcoin—institutions can directly engage with decentralized applications tailored to their needs. This integration allows them to deploy Bitcoin liquidity in institutional-grade lending, real-time cross-border transactions, and tokenized asset management, all within a secure, trustless framework. Hyperchains provide scalability and efficiency without sacrificing the security and integrity of the Bitcoin network, empowering institutions to put their Bitcoin to work while avoiding intermediary risks and high fees.

For æternity, this partnership has the potential to catalyze a surge in adoption and attract substantial liquidity to its ecosystem. With Bitcoin liquidity flowing through Hyperchains, the demand for AE coins could see a significant increase, echoing the bullish momentum witnessed by Cardano’s ADA following its own BitcoinOS integration. This partnership enhances æternity’s utility and positions AE as a valuable asset in an interconnected Web3 landscape, drawing both users and developers to its expanding ecosystem.

The æternity-BitcoinOS collaboration redefines what’s possible with Bitcoin in enterprise environments. With Hyperchains, enterprises now have access to configurable privacy, compliance, and performance options—essentials for sectors like finance, supply chain, and logistics. Imagine a multinational corporation wanting to streamline cross-border payments or track a global supply chain: Hyperchains enable them to do so using Bitcoin’s trusted network, combined with the flexibility of æternity’s infrastructure, without relying on custom or centralized solutions.

The Future of Blockchain: Interoperable, Decentralized, Scalable, and Secure

The æternity-BitcoinOS integration isn’t just about adding new features—it’s about changing the landscape of blockchain adoption. This collaboration allows Bitcoin to serve as a foundational layer of trust while enabling æternity to deliver highly scalable, feature-rich applications while preserving the principles of decentralization. 

The broader blockchain industry has long sought a solution that combines Bitcoin’s security with next-generation functionality. With the æternity and BOS integration, the global community finally has the opportunity to adopt blockchain without compromise.
