vEmpire DDAO: The Fight for Decentralization Begins as Its NFT and Token Launch Looms

Avatar

on

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.

vEmpire DDAO Ltd is a UK-based entity that focuses on the true decentralization of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations. The startup, whose leader is Dominic Ryder as the CEO (Romulus), aims to wage war on DAOs that have decided to fixate centralization back into decentralized communities.

After setting up the campaign, it is immediately broadcasted to verified BULLZ creators directly within the app. Creators can view the details, discover the project and decide whether to submit to the campaign by creating and uploading a video about the project.

Depending on the campaign settings, content creators can also earn more rewards for sharing the content on Twitter and/or Instagram. This ensures the content creation and content distribution for web3 brands. After submitting to a campaign, creators receive the $WOM reward instantly in their wallet. Since the content is part of a brand campaign, it is labeled as “sponsored” within the BULLZ app to ensure transparency. BULLZ has already initiated first campaign use-cases with various crypto projects, including Jigstack, Mad Metaverse, and leading music NFT Marketplace ROCKI.

Videos are also a great medium to grab attention and bring awareness.”

Melanie Mohr, CEO & Founder of BULLZ: “This new feature for brands and creators will really fuel web3 marketing and community building to a next level. We know how hard it is for web3 related projects to market the amazing products they are building. Now they can easily set up campaigns as content requests in under 5 minutes and start seeing the first influx of content around their products. There is no selection process, as every verified creator sees the campaign and can personally decide to submit or not. This helps maintain authenticity and is seen within the content.”

Lyfe, the first music artist to debut its own Metaverse

Crypto Chain Wire

June 21, 2022

By

Miami-based entrepreneur Antonio Trincao, a.k.a. Lyfe, has unveiled the imminent release of his music album and the most innovative entertainment experiences and concerts in his own unique medium: The Odyssey Metaverse.

Introducing Lyfe from The Odyssey

After turning his career from being a tech entrepreneur to a full time music artist, Antonio Trincao a.ka. Lyfe shares how he got to do this transition in his career:

“My dream is to create music that becomes the bridge for anyone to start pursuing their own dreams. I believe that we live in a period in time that we are going through a global spiritual awakening, where people will actually want to break free. My generation wants to eat well, exercise, study, learn, dream and celebrate life in the most meaningful manner.

We want to make money and live our life by doing what we love.

I came to terms that I want to pursue what I love. And I found that one of the main pillars of this revolution of “pursuing what you love” will be the Metaverse. I think if done right, it will become the foundation that allows people to ideate, create and pursue their dreams, and develop their own businesses in a transparent and truly engaging online world.

The thing I’m proud, is that we actually have a Metaverse platform that works, has beautiful 3D graphics that provides a pleasant experience for fans, has engaging features that as an example allows fans to meet me virtually and see me, and works in any smartphone or laptop. No headsets needed.

On the other hand I also love real life. I love people. I love performing, but the power that a virtual world platform gives to you is unbelievable, because there is no limit of what you can do.

So I want to revolutionize the entertainment industry by co-ideating with my fans the most spectacular worlds, and perform the most unique concert experiences first in The Odyssey and then replicating in real life.”

Lyfe shared that he gained this knowledge after producing a virtual concert back in 2020 with super stars Farina and Toosii that had more than 40,000 attendees and 1,000,000 views across social media platforms.

The former tech entrepreneur shares also shared that the first step to be part embark on this journey is getting the Lyfe book.

“I decided to create a book with 6 chapters, with a strong focus on my life journey until now as an entrepreneur. Not from a place of ego, but more from a place of vulnerability so that people understand why I am doing this.

In 2020 I had one of the most turbulent years of my life after pivoting my first company (events marketplace) to a virtual events platform, face rapid growth and fail to deliver product to customers.

This led to a huge financial crisis and debt and something that was the catalyst to really ask what do I want to do with my life!

Building something out of nothing, and tell a story with true purpose, it’s probably one of the best feelings in life. You really feel like a pirate on the discovery of the unknown. Although my problem is that I never truly pursued the purpose I believed in, in the way that I’m truly made to pursue. In the way that I truly love, and in the way that I know I’m gifted. Through music.”

The Lyfe NFT Book

On June 20th, 2022, Lyfe unveils the real-life NFT book with a limited edition of 50,000 copies, that contains the journey for Lyfe fans including his story, the why of his music, and citizenship passes to access The Odyssey Metaverse entertainment experiences.

Lyfe journey to The Odyssey shared in the Book

Lyfe and his team have created a journey that serves the purpose of his music.

Empowering humans to bring their dreams to life.

Lyfe states “I feel that the world has lost its soul, and at the same time we are looking to feel more spiritually connected. My music and the type of concert experiences that I will create for my fans will help them discover their passions, and what they truly love. This book, the music and experiences that I create it’s all about helping you get there.”

The First Step

Lyfe is dropping the first song from his album, with the sole purpose of empowering his fans to pursue what they love in life.

Those holding Lyfe’s NFT book will also have a partial royalty on the song launch.

Lyfe shared “My dream is that the song translates the messaging behind the Lyfe Revolution, which serves has a daily ignitor and catalyst to help humans pursue the very best version of themselves.

On top of that, I believe this is the first time of the history of our civilization that we can actually break free, achieve the financial freedom that we always dreamed about and truly pursue what our heart and dreams wants. Therefore all the holders of the book should have a partial royalty, because this song was made for them. To support them. To empower them.” 

The Second Step

Lyfe is challenging all its community members to get the Galatian NFT a collection of 7,777 characters with the sole goal of doing the #lyfexercise a 5-day tech detox.

Galatians will have to turn off their smartphones, laptops, and hardware devices during this period. Instead of using their devices, they will have to connect with their inner spiritual soul by writing and thinking about various questions such as:

●  What makes them happy?

●  What are their fears?

●  What are their dreams?

●  What have they accomplished in the last 2, 3, 5, or 10 years?

●  What are they ashamed of?

After completing the challenge, members will be rewarded with an exclusive Lyfe metaverse video concert airdrop and special merch members only sale.

Lyfe shared “I want my fans to feel empowered from day one. I want them to think about what they truly love in life. And let my music be their daily friend that comes and says hi while they go on that journey.”

The Third Step

Lyfe will launch the y-Chains, a 2,000 edition in real life, and Metaverse chains, giving Lyfe fans “The Galatians” a citizenship pass in The Odyssey Metaverse. The citizenship pass will feature two elements:

●  Full features that come with the citizenship, including video calls, shopping in-world, events, so that Lyfe Fans “The Galatians” can meet Lyfe and other members, and participate in experiences

●  Access to the all areas of The Odyssey and discovery Lyfe’s most unique entertainment experiences.


Lyfe quotes:

“My vision is actually to create entertainment experiences designed by the fans. I want to co-build concerts with my fans and community. I want them to ideate experiences, create products, organize event experiences so we can build the most unique entertainment experiences that the world has ever seen.”

Lyfe shared with our team that, more chapters will be unlocked after the Chapter 3 y-Chains but as of right now remain in secrecy and will be only revealed upon completion.

Lyfe also states his wish to help shift from the culture of “addiction” and overuse of online platforms like Facebook or Instagram:

“One of the very first things I want to achieve with our community that we are creating is that my fans have a limit of 4 hours a day of usage in The Odyssey. My team and I think 4 hours will allow fans to experience the best entertainment experiences online, meeting other like-minded fans and still enjoy the outside world and spend time in real life.”

About Lyfe

Antonio Trincao, a.k.a. Lyfe, is an artist and entrepreneur based in Miami, Florida. 

“I see myself more as a Steward of the message: Pursue what you love. I want to create music that endures the purpose of this community. Now, I am actively recruiting to fill all executive positions, including CEO and COO to help operate The Odyssey which will be the playground for my fans and my concert experiences, while I focus on what I love… Music!”

The Odyssey aims to become a defining project in crypto, NFTs, and the Metaverse. Lyfe and his project will launch a summer tour of events, starting with the official launch during NFT NYC, where fans can meet Lyfe and get to learn more about his vision in person.

June 16, 2022

By

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.

CATEGORIES & WINNING PROJECTS

  • In the “Metaverse/Gaming” challenge, contrary to expectations, two extraordinarily exciting projects will share the $20,000 with $10,000 per project.
    • TeMe – An easier and more fun way to manage the information of the company’s employees (10.000$)
    • Netverse (A metaverse-project where the players can challenge each other for an amount of ZENIQ tokens) (10.000$)
  • In the “NFTs/Tokenization” challenge, the $20,000 prize money will be distributed to the N Farm project. N Farm is an NFT platform for the certification of food of animal origin that facilitates normative export.
  • In the Challenge “Decentralised Finance (DeFi) & Defi 2.0”, the $20,000 prize money goes to the True Commit project. The team builds accountability into finance and links investments directly to final purchases.
  • The $20,000 of “The world of Web 3.0/Tools & Infrastructure” Challenge was won by the team “Data Link”. The team focuses on incentives for data sharing and credential verification in the chain.
  • The category “B2B/B2C solutions on the ecosystem” presented a particularly exciting picture for all participants. The top prize of $20,000 went to DemeterGift. Their project focuses on fundraising as a service on the web3.

In addition, there were two special prizes that no one had expected. One was the Huitzil project, which simplifies the creation of smart contracts. The other was the FiDora project, which specialises in the decentralisation of real assets. Both projects were accepted into the ZENIQ Incubator Programme.
