  • Available on mobile or PC in 170 countries and supporting 9 languages (including English, Japanese, and Thai)
  • Tokens and characters can be minted to trade and swap for digital assets from six blockchains including Avalanche, Ethereum and Polygon (and vice versa)
  • Month-long “Festival of the Night” celebration features check-in events, missions, ranking rewards, prizes like “Dawn’s Lustrous Weapon Style Summon” and exclusive mount** styles

Wemade, in collaboration with MADNGINE, today announced the official global launch of their highly anticipated MMORPG (massively multiplayer online roleplaying game), NIGHT CROWS. Now available to download on mobile or PC in 170 countries and supporting 9 languages (including English, Japanese, and Thai), NIGHT CROWS is poised to redefine the genre with its use of Unreal Engine 5’s cutting-edge graphics including a fully dynamic global illumination and reflections solution, innovative multi-tokenomics, and a thrilling blend of history and fantasy. 

Here’s what fans can expect:

Time to Battle

To ensure uninterrupted gaming, Wemade is deploying a total of 24 servers, structured across 3 regions – ASIA1, SA (South America), and NAEU (North America & Europe) and 8 server groups. Each group comprises 3 Servers (Rook, Bishop, and Knight), and a Unified Exchange that will facilitate seamless gameplay and economic interactions within each server group. That also means smooth and uninterrupted “Battlefront” mode, a server group-based conflict where players from each server gather to engage in intense battles.

Exceptional and Unique Tokenomics

The game’s main token, CROW, is minted with Value Added Diamonds, or vDIA for short, which are obtained as the result of players putting time and resources into playing the game. CROW can be traded for other item tokens and Character NFTs, or swapped for WEMIX$, connecting the in-game and real-world economies through the CROW tokens. What’s more, this being Wemade’s first multi-chain game, means that players can choose to swap not just WEMIX$, but digital assets from any of the 6 supported chains including Avalanche, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Kroma, Polygon, and WEMIX3.0 for CROW.

To create a true blockchain economy, items like the other 6 tokens that can be minted in NIGHT CROWS are no longer restricted to in-game transactions but can also be traded on the PNIX Decentralized Exchange (PNIX DEX) on the WEMIX PLAY blockchain game platform. Last but not least, NIGHT CROWS also supports the minting of player characters as assets in the form of NFTs that are created with character abstraction technology which compresses character data into easily identifiable attributes. What’s more, character NFTs can be traded for CROW on the WEMIX PLAY marketplace, and then swapped for WEMIX$ or vice versa, giving players the freedom to collect, mint and trade assets both within NIGHT CROWS and across multiple games and chains.

Celebrating NIGHT CROWS’ success with fans

NIGHT CROWS soared to immediate success during its South Korean launch, topping daily sales charts on both Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Generating over 151 million USD in sales within just 7 months and amassing over a million pre-orders, NIGHT CROWS quickly established itself as one of Korea’s top mobile games of 2023 and a cornerstone IP for Wemade. This phenomenal performance sets the stage for continued success with NIGHT CROWS Global.

To mark this global milestone, players can participate in the month-long “Festival of the Night” celebration, featuring check-in events, missions, ranking rewards, and exclusive prizes. Players will be rewarded with items like “Dawn’s Lustrous Weapon Style Summon” for completing missions and reaching certain levels during each event. Additionally, the top 3 characters ranked by level and Distinction Insignia* will be given exclusive mount** styles.

  • Check-in event “Festival 1: Answer to the Call,” 
  • Mission event “Festival 2: Birth of a New Member,” and 
  • Ranking event “Festival 3: News from the Night Crow Perch”

“With its groundbreaking omnichain gaming experience, and exceptional, advanced multi-tokenomics, NIGHT CROWS is poised to revolutionize web3 gaming. Its success will drive growth and innovation not only within WEMIX PLAY but across the entire WEMIX Mainnet ecosystem,” said Wemade CEO, Henry Chang.

They can be exchanged for various items through the Battlefront Merchant. Additionally, the amount of Distinction Insignia held determines Battlefront rankings, which update every hour. Ranks, determined by victories in Battlefront and Distinction Insignia, provide different rewards, including beneficial buffs.

How Bitcoin’s price rise has increased the number of cryptocurrency payments 

Published

on

NOWPayments Announces Significant Gain in Crypto Payments

NOWPayments, a leading crypto payment gateway, is excited to announce the significaте Increase of Crypto Payments since the beginning of November. 

Why Bitcoin took a new ATH in November?

Starting in January 2024, Bitcoin’s price was around $48,717, marking a period of cautious optimism following a tumultuous 2023. Throughout the first half of the year, Bitcoin experienced significant fluctuations as market dynamics shifted, driven by regulatory developments and increased institutional interest. By November 2024, Bitcoin had reached a pivotal moment, hitting an all-time high (ATH) of $75,000 on November 8 and then surging to $89,000 shortly thereafter.

This remarkable growth didn’t go unnoticed by the business world. Companies across various industries quickly recognized the massive business opportunity Bitcoin presented. The ATH sent a clear message: Bitcoin was no longer just a speculative asset but a powerful tool for transactions, store of value, and an entry point into the broader crypto economy.

Businesses’ interest in Bitcoin grew for several reasons:

  • Increased Institutional Adoption: Major financial institutions rolled out Bitcoin-based services, providing legitimacy and opening doors for mainstream use.
  • Global Payment Integration: Bitcoin’s borderless nature appealed to businesses seeking efficient, low-cost cross-border transactions, particularly as inflation and currency instability impacted traditional fiat systems.
  • Hedge Against Inflation: As global economies faced ongoing inflationary pressures, Bitcoin became a preferred asset for protecting wealth, especially for businesses looking to diversify holdings.

Climbing to $75K

The journey to $75,000 began with a series of positive developments in the cryptocurrency market. Following the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETFs and increased institutional buying, Bitcoin’s price steadily climbed. On November 7, 2024, Bitcoin reached approximately $76,999 before closing at around $75,820. This surge was fueled by a bullish market sentiment as investors reacted positively to the election results and anticipated regulatory clarity under Trump’s administration.

Breaking Through $80K

Following its initial surge to $75K, Bitcoin quickly surpassed the $80,000 mark on November 10, 2024. The momentum continued as traders rushed to capitalize on the positive sentiment surrounding the cryptocurrency. By this point, BTC was trading at approximately $80,976, reflecting an increase of nearly 9.64% from the previous day.

Approaching a New BTC All Time High at $90K

As of November 12, 2024, Bitcoin’s price soared to around $89,000. This represents a staggering increase within just a few days following the election and highlights the cryptocurrency’s volatility and potential for rapid gains. The combination of strong demand from both retail and institutional investors has driven BTC prices higher as they anticipate further growth.

How has the new ATH for BTC led to an increase in crypto payments?

We decided to analyse how the rise in the price of the main cryptocurrency – BTC affected the number of payments. NOWPayments team took the number of payments before the U.S. election and compared it with the data after the Trump has won. The result exceeded all expectations. Thanks to the growth of BTC from $72,729.89 to $90,750.94, the number of payments increased by as much as 8%. This significant change indicates the increased interest in cryptocurrency and the correlation of BTC price and cryptocurrency usage.

  1. Correlation Between BTC Price and Crypto Payments:

The 8% increase in the number of payments demonstrates a clear correlation between Bitcoin’s price growth and the rising adoption of cryptocurrency for transactions. As BTC’s value surged, so did user engagement with crypto payments.

  1. Increased Interest in Cryptocurrency:

The significant rise in payments highlights growing public and business interest in cryptocurrencies as a viable payment method, especially during moments of market optimism fueled by events like the U.S. election.

  1. Market Events Drive Crypto Adoption:

The post-election Bitcoin rally, combined with its ATH, underscores how political and economic events can directly impact crypto adoption, encouraging more users to explore cryptocurrency as both an investment and a practical payment tool.

Digital Assets Underinsured: Report Identifies $19 Billion Coverage Deficit, Less Than 3% Secured

Published

on

A recent report, Furthering Digital Assets 2024: Pioneering Insurance Solutions for the Web3 Era, highlights a substantial coverage gap in digital asset insurance, revealing that only 3% of digital assets are currently insured. This gap leaves billions at risk, with an estimated $19 billion in losses from fraud and security breaches since 2011.

The report emphasizes significant incidents that illustrate the vulnerability in the sector. These include a $650 million breach at Ronin in March 2022 and a $614 million loss from PolyNetwork in August 2021. As investments in digital assets increase, so does the call for comprehensive risk management solutions, particularly from institutional stakeholders.

With more than 90% of crypto hedge funds expressing a desire for mandatory insurance on exchange-based assets and around 40% of institutional investors now holding cryptocurrency, the demand for tailored insurance products is clear. Further Ventures, the report’s creator, points to a growing interest from institutions seeking ways to protect their digital assets through robust insurance policies.

The report also sheds light on recent regulatory responses. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), for example, has set mandates for digital asset custodians, requiring 50% insurance coverage on cold storage and 100% on hot wallets. Despite these initiatives, high premiums remain a challenge, with average rates around 0.5%-5% for custody insurance and 5-10% for slashing events and Directors & Officers (D&O) policies.

According to the report, addressing the insurance gap in the digital assets industry will likely require innovation in policy structure, more accessible premium rates, and a regulatory environment that supports the development of effective, comprehensive solutions. As the sector evolves, insurance options may play a critical role in fostering institutional confidence and broader adoption of digital assets.
