vEmpire DDAO: The Fight for Decentralization Begins as Its NFT and Token Launch Looms
The word decentralization applies in almost every detailed project currently involved in the crypto-verse. However, there’s practically no ideal situation where the word should coexist with centralization in any way. Sadly, we live in a world where Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have willingly sunk into centralized concepts. If Satoshi were around to see the future decentralization at the moment, would he jump in joy? This is where vEmpire comes in.
vEmpire is a Democratic Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DDAO) that plans to revamp fairness and decentralization back to DAOs. The project lives by the word that rewards belong to those who portray loyalty and honour in decentralized organizations. It is calling out those going astray, who give the power to their own pockets rather than their communities.
Everyone Seems Fine; Why Fight for Decentralization Now?
Founders and big-time investors in the Metaverse & DAOs today control significant aspects of decentralized communities, including monetary features. Other parameters such as voting rights, issuance of NFTs, and coins mainly depend on how deep the investor’s pockets seem. If you take a step back, you will realize we are continuously drawing ourselves back to centralized governance in a ‘decentralized world.’
Although unnoticed, the essence of control belonging to the community slowly skids away. Centralization essentially means people with higher positions have a more prominent voice within a community, a feat Englishmen call Capitalism.
vEmpire would like to remind stakeholders in DAOs that everyone should have a say. Token holders are just as important as they stand, and without them, an organization is meaningless. Its first target is the Metaverse group, where big players slowly get away with reaping profits from centralized practices.
vEmpire: Amplifying the Voices of the Unheard
Decentralized projects such as Decentraland, Decentral Games, Sandbox and Upland operate in ways where decisions lie in the hands of stakeholders. Surprisingly, not many people notice these projects have somewhat become a monopoly of the Metaverse group.
For instance, Metaverse Group has a digitized Real Estate Trust program where users sell their properties, and the former mischievously sells the land back to them at massive premiums. vEmpire identifies the unfairness and firmly suggests these atrocities must stop at once. The project plans to invade these “Decentralised” Metaverses by allowing staking of Metaverse tokens onto its platform, these will then be used continuously to buy land, monetising then reinvesting to gain an overwhelming presence in any Metaverse they set their sites on.
Eventually vEmpire wishes to birth a Metaverse of its own, a home planet where token holders who stake their tokens, just like MANA, will have the potential for massive yields while upholding true decentralization.
Users can also earn profits by participating in games using the Empire’s gaming token VEMP or by solving the project’s NFT puzzle, besides staking and selling the assets.
The VEMP Token: Fueling the Conquest of Decentraland
The VEMP token is the native token of the Empire. It is also a currency for trading NFT card battle winners, stakers, liquidity providers and the DDAO at large. Since vEmpire targets the heads of decentraland, VEMP is a perfect way to lead MANA token holders back to decentralization.
Moreover, since decentraland only involves MANA, the Empire plans to integrate VEMP and MANA into the ecosystem.vEmpire aims to buy the virtual assets from Decentraland, including Estates and Land, and monetize as well as customize them in the likes of the Empire.
This initiative will help decentralized communities get back control. All proceeds collected after the sales of properties will be distributed back to the DDAO. Learn more about the Fight against Decentraland here.
Token Presale and Tokenomics
The journey begins as vEmpire stands as an incubated protocol on Unicrypt, a protocol that has hosted about 450 projects with only four of them passing the strict criteria to become incubated. Users can participate in the Public Sale of vEmpire’s Gamer Token VEMP on Unicrypt’s ILO scheduled on 31st August at 2000H BST.
The initial total supply of VEMP stands at 90M. Minting of VEMP tokens will then proceed as follows;
- After one to three years,VEMP will be minted at 20 per block
- In the next four to twelve years, the number comes down to 15 per block
- After that, in thirteen to nineteen years, it comes to 10 per block
- In 20 to 21 years, the minting will stand at 5 per block
With all parameters tallied in, the total supply stands at 810,720,000 VEMP.
xVEMP: Governance to the DDAO
Users can stake their VEMP tokens to earn xVEMP, which immediately enables them to earn rewards and hold voting rights positions. xVEMP holders earn the right to collect profits from card battles and monetized land. This subsequently and automatically should skyrocket the value of xVEMP tokens which can be redeemed for VEMP at any time.
The Empire’s voting involves each token holder having one vote, unlike most DAOs where big pockets equal more voting rights. However, to make decisions, the threshold for owning one vote stands at $1000 to send away bots and prevent Sybil attacks.
vEmpire’s goal is to reward its users with high profits by rerouting Land and NFT proceeds back to them instead of taking it to stakeholder’s pockets. All the Profits earned within the Empire are shared among all staked token holders. Furthermore, with the incentives given by the owners of xVEMP, voting rights belong to the community. For that reason, vEmpire is a democratic ecosystem, a DDAO, and not just any regular DAO.
Users can receive rewards from staking after unstaking from the DDAO as the profits received from battles and monetized land. Notably, the rewards come bearing a yield. Click here to find out more about yields from the VEMP and xVEMP tokens.
vEmpire NFTs Presale
The vEmpire platform is offering NFTs. They fuel the gaming community, specifically The Founding Soldiers. The NFT fee revenue, after initial development, will be collected and shared among users who stake their VEMP.
The project has already launched its first 100 NFTs, dubbed The Cataphracts, on 1st August at 9 PM BST the auction for vEmpire’s first ever NFT ends with the current bid at 1 Ethereum. The remaining number of NFTs are up for grabs on OpenSea.io at a fair price of 0.1ETH to benefit early supporters. Please take advantage of the sale as it is needless to say the prices are lucrative: you may not get a better signal to buy ever in your life that is as clear as this due to vEmpire stating that these will be the cheapest prices they ever list NFTs at.
Why You Should Join the vEmpire NFT Craze
vEmpire have found a way to make the experience exciting. Cataphracts, according to vEmpire, harbour 99 scrolls left by the Emperor, which carry clues to a quest whose end comes bearing gifts. The Empire hid these scrolls from the 2-100th NFTs in the Presale.
For those die-hard puzzle game lovers, each of the 99 NFTs(Cataphracts) on the Presale has distinct letters and numbers that lead players to influencers on social media. These influencers carry with them clues that show users a pathway to another clue. The first clue has already been released by @CathyHackl with only six left with; @intocryptoverse @Jihoz_Axie @DCLblogger @SpartanBlack_1 @themooncarl @DENTOSHI
The cycle continues until one captures all the clues, and the winner gets 1% of VEMP’s total supply. If VEMP’s total supply nears even half that of MANA, you are looking at a prize of $5M. That sounds interesting, right? CEO Dominic Ryder(Romulus) assures you it may very well take years to solve.

WOM Protocol: Pioneering the Future of SocialFi with a Powerful Layer 1 Solution
WOM Protocol was early to the SocialFi space back in 2020 – when the path to revolutionizing marketing wasn’t easy. SocialFi faced hard times in recent years, with many “to-earn” models failing to match the user retention seen in Web2 social networks. But through relentless innovation, WOM has shown remarkable persistence. Thanks to its engaging daily reward mechanism, users didn’t just stick around – they grew. Now, with the numbers to prove its impact, WOM is making its boldest move yet: launching a powerful EVM Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure redefine authenticity, trust and community in a decentralized world.
And the Timing Couldn’t Be Better
Traditional ads are fading – and consumers are tuning out. People are tired of ads, and the numbers say it all. 70% of millennials and Gen Z have stopped watching TV ads, 65% skip YouTube ads, and 86% are blind to banners and pop-ups. Even influencers are losing credibility, with 43% of consumers finding their content fake. Traditional advertising isn’t just annoying; it’s ineffective. It’s time for a new approach that feels real, builds trust and actually connects with people.
The WOM Solution: Rewarding Authentic Advocacy
WOM Protocol leverages blockchain to reward genuine peer-to-peer recommendations, replacing intrusive ads with authentic user-generated content (UGC). The protocol’s ecosystem includes:
- Creators: Share authentic product recommendations and earn WOM Tokens .
- Authenticators: Verify content authenticity, creativity, and positivity .
- Platforms: Integrate the protocol and monetize through WOM rewards instead of ads .
- Brands: Access genuine, peer-validated recommendations to connect authentically with consumers .
This decentralized ecosystem ensures that everyone—from content creators to validators to platforms—has aligned incentives to maintain authenticity and quality.
The Power of Authentic Content in 2024
Recent statistics highlight the growing importance of authentic, user-generated content (UGC) in the marketing landscape:
- 60% of consumers trust UGC more than any other type of content when making purchasing decisions.
- 40% of shoppers say UGC is critical to their buying process.
- 93% of marketers report that UGC performs better than branded content.
- 90% of consumers are influenced by UGC when making a purchase.
These insights underscore the effectiveness of genuine peer-driven content in driving brand engagement and sales. In an age where consumers crave authenticity, WOM Protocol provides the infrastructure to capitalize on this behavior.
WOM Protocol’s Achievements
Since its launch, WOM Protocol has demonstrated consistent growth and sustainability:
- Over 281,000 Peer-Reviewed Videos
- Daily Transactions: The ecosystem handles between 50,000 to 200,000 daily transactions, including content creation, staking and reward distribution.
- Sustainable Rewards: WOM Protocol has distributed rewards daily over the past few years to a growing user base of creators, authenticators, and platforms who continuously contribute to the network.
- Powerful Tools: The WOM Campaign Manager allows advertisers to access authentic UGC and run targeted campaigns. The WOM Authenticator App enables users to validate content from the BULLZ app, ensuring no piece of content goes unreviewed. This validation process has led to an impressive +40% retention rate among users.
- BULLZ App Success: The BULLZ app, dedicated to web3 and crypto recommendations, has grown to over 158,000 users and generated more than 12 million views. The app also features a separate BULLZ campaign manager for web3 brands to request videos directly from the BULLZ creator community.
This sustained reward distribution and suite of innovative tools ensure that participants are consistently incentivized, reinforcing a thriving and collaborative ecosystem.
Why WOM Needs a Dedicated Layer 1 Blockchain
The success of WOM Protocol has shown the need for a scalable, efficient infrastructure to handle rising transaction volumes and to reduce fees for its growing user base. To achieve this, WOM has developed in 2024 its own EVM based Layer 1 infrastructure, capable of processing 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) with fees as low as $0.0001. This powerful EVM ensures fast and seamless interactions for creators, authenticators, platforms and advertisers. With a public testnet launching in Q1 2025 and a mainnet in Q2 2025, the WOM Chain will drive full decentralization, paving the way for community-driven governance and the transition to a DAO where users collectively shape the future. WOM Protocol is more than just a marketing tool – it’s the engine of a decentralized, authentic and user-driven economy.

0xFútbol Announces Exclusive $FUTBOL Presale to Celebrate XDC’s Strategic Investment
For decades, fútbol’s ecosystem has upheld a status quo that leaves fans disconnected—without a voice, a stake, or a meaningful way to be part of the game they love. Despite fútbol’s global popularity, there has been no unified platform that truly empowers fans or brings them closer to the sport in transformative ways.
Founded by visionary builders from Uruguay and Argentina, 0xFútbol is changing the game. By leveraging blockchain technology, they are creating a digital hub for the world’s 4 billion fútbol fans—a place where they can connect, compete, and even own a piece of fútbol’s future. 0xFútbol transforms watchers into owners, redefining what it means to be a fútbol fan in the modern era.
From watchers to owners
The fútbol community is vast, yet fragmented. 0xFútbol’s mission is to bring it together by delivering engaging experiences that resonate with every fan. From games to tools, every product is a step toward building a thriving, interconnected community.
0xFútbol recently acquired MetaSoccer, the first fútbol manager game, and has been actively working to improve and expand its features. Now in its private beta phase, MetaSoccer has already captivated over 40,000 fans with its innovative approach to managing teams and competing using blockchain-based assets. Alongside MetaSoccer, 0xFútbol is developing additional products like Fútbol PM, a prediction market where fans can showcase their knowledge, and Wonderkid, a hyper-casual Telegram game designed for quick, competitive fun.
Every new fan strengthens the community. With each voice added, the collective power of fútbol fans grows, paving the way to shake up the status quo. Together, 0xFútbol isn’t just building products—it’s building a movement.
“Imagine millions of fútbol fans united in one ecosystem. The energy, the culture, the shared passion—this is the future 0xFútbol is building. It’s a future where fans actively shape the game they love, not just watch from the sidelines.” Says Agu Rodríguez, CEO.
$FUTBOL Presale with XDC Network
In a significant milestone, the XDC Network has joined 0xFútbol as a strategic investor, recognizing the platform’s potential to transform fútbol through blockchain. This partnership represents a major step forward in 0xFútbol’s journey to create a unified and interactive fútbol ecosystem.
As part of this collaboration, 0xFútbol will host an exclusive presale for the XDC community starting on December 16th. This presale offers early supporters a chance to acquire the $FUTBOL token, which powers the entire 0xFútbol ecosystem.
The $FUTBOL token is more than just a digital asset—it’s the backbone of the platform. It enables users to access key products like MetaSoccer and Fútbol PM, participate in governance, and unlock future opportunities as the ecosystem grows. With $FUTBOL, fans are empowered to move from spectatorship to ownership, shaping the future of fútbol while engaging with innovative products and experiences.
This collaboration with XDC highlights the growing recognition of 0xFútbol’s potential to revolutionize how fútbol fans interact with the sport. By combining blockchain innovation with fútbol culture, 0xFútbol is positioning itself as a leader in the Web3 fútbol space.
