Kiki World, a Web3 Beauty Company Recently Announced $7 Million of Seed Round, Aims to Become Miss Web3’s Biggest Sponsor?

The integration of Web3 technology and values is becoming a new path for many traditional industries to break through bottlenecks and rapidly expand their reach. Players in the medical aesthetics industry are also working towards this goal.

According to a PR Newswire report, on April 9th, US time, Web3 beauty startup Kiki World announced the completion of a $7 million seed round of financing, with participation from a16z Crypto, New Incubation Ventures (Estée Lauder’s investment company), OrangeDao, and 2Punks Capital.

Kiki World is a blockchain-based open community platform for beauty products. Users can vote on the design and features of products before they are produced. Founded in 2023, Kiki World has previously launched NFTs, but with limited attention. Why was Kiki World, established for only about a year, able to secure a $7 million seed round with such a luxurious lineup of investors? Shifting our focus to South Korea, thousands of miles away from the United States, might provide the answer.

On the other side of the globe, the world’s first blockchain-based beauty pageant, Miss Web3, is kicking off in Seoul, South Korea, attracting global attention. Amidst the crypto bull market, Wall Street capital and top US research teams have recognized the potential of Web3 technology to fully showcase the value and charm of women. However, this trend needed a catalyst, and the timely Miss Web3 event provided these trend-savvy investors with a keen opportunity.

The deeper purpose behind US investors like a16z backing Kiki World is to empower women worldwide to redefine the right to beauty through blockchain technology and platforms. This will effectively activate the immense commercial value of the medical aesthetics industry and truly achieve Web3’s breakthrough. However, Kiki World’s shortcomings are relatively apparent, with its short establishment time and lack of a complete Web3 closed-loop ecosystem, making subsequent operations and promotion a significant challenge.

In this context, integrating with the Miss Web3 event and becoming a key component of its value ecosystem could enable Kiki World to achieve rapid brand fission and traffic explosion, thereby shortening its global exposure cycle and becoming a leading community for Web3 women’s beauty product design.

Therefore, it is rumored that based on the above judgment, the Kiki World project team has already begun preparations to collaborate with Miss Web3 officials. Core members of the Kiki World team may personally travel to Korea to leverage the Miss Web3 event’s popularity for brand exposure.

Furthermore, at the final stop of Miss Web3 in Las Vegas, USA, Kiki World officials have also expressed their desire to leverage their home-court advantage to become the event’s biggest sponsor. With a relatively sufficient publicity budget after the recent financing round, Kiki World’s backers believe that collaborating with Miss Web3 will be a significant opportunity for project development, and they do not rule out the possibility of additional large-scale financing rounds in the future.

MIT Female Ph.D. in Controversial Cryptocurrency Beauty Pageant MissWeb3, Rakes in Millions of Dollars in 2 Days to Earn Enough for 5 Years of Schooling

The insanity of the cryptocurrency world has changed the trajectory of many people’s lives. Some have been plunged into ruin, but there’s no stopping others from coming forward.

A few days ago, the Miss Web3 beauty contest in the cryptocurrency circle welcomed an “uninvited guest”. A female MIT doctor suddenly signed up, making the contest full of eyes and “mouths” even more lively. This MIT female doctor gave up the traditional academic path and unhesitatingly joined the cryptocurrency industry, embarking on a shortcut to seek financial freedom.

Intelligence can be a downward spiral when it comes to beauty contests. Before the finals began, the female doctor had already received a hefty bounty bonus. 榜⼀⼤哥(Bangyidage), the No.1 person who so generously enriched the pocket, gave the PhD’s pocket.

The mysterious female PH.D. claims to have been a Bitcoin enthusiast all along, and the goal of this contest is the coveted 1,499 bitcoins. She said that she would use her expertise and unique charisma to try and compete for this tempting prize with the support of her viewers.

The sudden appearance of the MIT female doctor has once again put the Miss Web3 beauty pageant on the map. This beauty pageant, created by the creative team of Roman Coin, is a counterpart to TikTok, combining virtual currency and the Internet celebrity economy. Users can support their favourite contestants using its official token(ROMA), exclusive to Miss Web3. The competition is set to have 300 finalists, with the ultimate winner taking home a staggering 1,499 BTC in prize money, nearly 800 million RMB.

The super prize pool attracted countless people to rush in as soon as it appeared. Global registration is hot; on March 6 registration,

the Rome Foundation’s central committee MissWeb3 registration website Singapore server, South Korea server went down, the registration portal system failed to work, and the system crashed due to large-scale technical failures. The MissWeb3 registration portal server is undergoing intense restoration, and the registration portal repair time is to be determined. Reports show that the pageant reaches 5.2 billion viewers through online platforms alone.

To ensure the fairness of the competition, the organizers even banned MCN celebrities with more than 5 million followers on TikTok from registering for the first Korean leg of MissWeb3.

However, this time, the organizers need to be more accurate. Some questioned that the MIT female doctor’s self-imposed aura made the competition unfair. Others have also expressed displeasure at the female doctor’s approach, saying she gave up a great career and chose to speculate.

However, the female doctor was very relieved about it. In her opinion, the fact that she raked in millions of dollars in two days as a webcam star, earning enough for five years of tuition and has left a deep mark on the blockchain and the beauty industry is ample proof that non-traditional paths can lead to extraordinary success.

The controversy over female PhDs continues, but with wave after wave of buzz, the Miss Web3 beauty pageant has accomplished many wealth creation myths. It has become the hottest project in the cryptocurrency world. It has also led to a continued rise in the value of Roman coins. Currently, Roman coins are selling like hotcakes in the South Korean market. ROMA tokens are expected to be listed on some major exchanges in the future, showing more excellent market value.

Will Party Planet become another Eggy Go in Web3?

Eggy Go went viral during the Early 2023 via live streaming platforms. The number of daily active users was over 30 million and the single-month turnover of Eggy Go on the IOS device in March reached 1.8 billion yuan, which had exceeded Genshin Impact.

My kid and all of his classmates were addicted to playing Eggy Go, which made me wonder why they’re so into it. He bet with me that if his test result reaches the demands, I should play the game with him. Finally he won and I started to play Eggy Go. Unexpectedly, I’m completely absorbed by the game! The several factors that Eggy Go can hit a success are summarized as follow:

1. Imitating the easy-to-play gameplay of Fall Guys, which with relaxing social property.

2. The adorable painting style, cheerful music and sweet voice are strikingly attractive to millennials and most of them are addicted to the game at the first time they played.

3. UGC map production is very grounded. It’s said that there are millions of creators in the game and the average number of new maps is more than 100,000.

4. Taking advantage of the community to heat the game up and the game influencers to make commerce on live-streaming platforms.

Come to think of it, Eggy Go’s sociability, UGC and community-driven approaches are exactly in line with the features of WEB3 games! Is there a WEB3 game like Eggy Go? After a period of research with my pals, we discovered that there are two WEB3 blockchain games like Eggy Go, which are named Puffverse and Party Planet.

Puffverse has been hot in the past few months and its recent fund-raising round has made good progress. Its gameplay is basically the same as Eggy Go. Although its delicateness and playability lose a little ground to Eggy Go, it should be a WEB3 hit game if its UGC function can reach 70% of the Eggy Go. There are a bunch of basic introductions of Puffverse online and you could search for them yourselves. Today we mainly introduce Party Planet, a recently-launched and relatively-niche WEB3 party game with sociability. It’s an easy-to-play game and the gameplay is more abundant than Eggy Go.

1.How to start?

There are some basic links of Party Planet:

Twitter:@SkylandNFTs

Telegram (English): https://t.me/Skytopia Community

Telegram (Chinese): https://t.me/SkytopiaCN

Its website is named Skytopia, which may be the name of the gaming platform. Party Planet is the first game series produced by the Skytopia platform. When I opened the official website for the first time, I was deeply attracted by its exquisite cartoon style and believe that the game was created by a WEB2 gaming team with some prior knowledge of design.

But why not design several entries on the top of the official website? I scrolled down for a long time to find the Go to Play to download the game pack. After downloading, the login window with email and password will appear. Then I returned to the top right corner of the official website and saw a CMP logo there. I checked that it was a public chain named EVM.

WEB3 users click directly on the “connect wallet” on the right of “CMP” and link to the official website with MetaMask. (Check here to set up a CMP network in MetaMask: https://medium.com/@SkylandNFTs/how-to-add-cmp-network-to-metamask-wallet-15369a41c668 ) Follow the steps to set up your mailbox and password and enter Party Planet by using the mailbox and password on the login page.

When writing this article, I was going to complain about the next two points: First, most PC games are for game enthusiasts, and why not play this easy small game directly with the web cloud gaming? Besides, users have to download the installation package and I think it could be further optimized. Second, users are required to register by linking their wallets and I believe that WEB2 users will be blocked from entering in WEB3. Why not allow users to register by mailbox directly and they can choose to bind their wallets when it’s necessary?

Then I found that the second one was fixed. Party Planet was updated on July 3 and WEB2 users are allowed to log in through third parties (Twitter/Google Email/Facebook), and users can login in the game directly by using their mailbox. At the same time the in-game store, where users can buy Tickets and SR Skins, also launched in Party Planet. It appears that the project side has been improving the product.

Well, let me hold back the other complaints and play the game first.

2.How to play?

As soon as you enter the game, you will see this interface. If you don’t have SR NFTs, you can click “Free Play” on the bottom right of the game interface and then one game will appear randomly. Currently there should be 6 games in Party Planet and the project side will release a new game every 1-2 weeks. I have to say that there is a rat race in WEB3.

Let’s take a look at each of these games.

Game 1: Mushroom Madness

Players will jump on the adjacent wooden stake after the countdown ends to eat mushrooms and gain corresponding points. If they happen to choose the same wooden stake with other players, they will collide and not receive any points. There are three types of mushrooms, and the more beautiful and numerous the mushroom, the more points the player will get.

This game is about strategy between players. Players want to jump on the stake with many mushrooms and this behavior will lead to their collision, so players need to take a gambling in this game. It’s the most difficult one among the 6 games in Party Planet because man’s heart is so unpredictable, and winning streaks of many players have ended in the Mushroom Madness.

Game 2: Football Frenzy

2 players team up and aim to kick the football into the opposing team’s goal, and each successful goal will earn one point for the scoring team. Players can use the X key to dash and steal the ball from their opponents. The game not only requires players’ cooperation with their teammates but also rapid and accurate movements.

Game 3: Candy Chaos

Each player holds plates on their heads, using arrow keys to control the movement to catch candies falling from the sky. Players will earn one point for each candy they catch and lose three points when catching a bomb.

At first I didn’t know the exact location to pick up candies. Then it turns out that all players have to do is to follow the shadow and use the X key on the keyboard to dash forward.

Game 4: Fugitive Finder

The cards will be flipped over in a certain order to show fugitive characters. Players are required to remember the position of the different characters within a limited time. After the officer reveals a portrait of the fugitive, players should find the fugitive card among the 16 cards as soon as possible and then hold it up.

Fugitive Finder is my favorite game at the moment, and it will test your memory and brain power! Sprinting with X key can also knock others away. Hum! How dare you grab with me?

Game 5: Word War

Players should step on the corresponding letters presented on their heads in order and press the Z key to spell the word and see who can spell the most words. It seems that children can play this game to learn English.

Game 6: Arctic Assault

Players are randomly distributed on a hexagonal slippery ice. They can push the opponents away for some distance by using arrow keys and X key.

It is worth mentioning that the slippery ice may cause players themselves to fall into the pool if they weren’t paying attention. Arctic Assault is a great test of the player’s timing and game control.

Each player has three chances of revival. All players need to do is try to live to the end. In addition, ice will continue to shrink over time and the movable range for players is also getting smaller. There is always tension in the game. Whether to survive or fight also tests players’ decision-making ability!

From the current six games in Party Planet, it can be seen that the project team’s engagement in game production is much stronger than those of general blockchain games:

First, the art style is unified in these 6 games. Skytopia is different from many blockchain games, which are completely a hodgepodge of casual games bought from various small studios outside.

Second, compared to the finger-operated gameplay of Eggy Go, Currently these 6 games meet various tastes and the needs of different players. Word War is suitable for parent and child to play; Football Frenzy is about the cooperation between 2 teammates; Mushroom Madness is about strategy; Fugitive Finder is about brain power; Candy Chaos is about the bigger picture and Arctic Attack is about game control. Diverse gameplay highlights the charm of casual games, which can be close to a larger user base with different interests.

Third, there are not too many people in WEB3 currently, so each game is a group of four and it’s easy to match. If these 6 games require 24 participants like Eggy Go, the majority of participants are estimated to be robots.

So from the production precision of casual games, Party Planet is really outstanding in blockchain. The team is worth our praise!

In addition to the Free Play mode described above, you can also click on “Competitive Party”, namely PVP mode, in the interface of Party Planet. But players need 1 ticket to participate in the Competitive Party. (Players could buy 1 ticket by consuming 100 $DPM, the subcoin in Skytopia, which currently can be earned by participating in Free Play, etc.).

The Competitive Party Mode announces the ranking on the leaderboard every Monday morning, with the Top 100 being rewarded with in-game token $DPM and Skytopia’s governance token $FPU.

There is a Season Mode on the top of “Free Play” and “Competitive Party” in the interface. (It’s removed temporarily in the latest version, so players can’t see it in early July.) You can click on it and go inside to pick up stars in the Tasks, and then go to Rewards to claim your rewards, including $DPM and Party Tickets, and even customized skins.

Finally, it is worth mentioning that Public Chat Room was launched in the latest version updated on July 3rd. It’s the most important component of casual social games because users are not only here to play competitive games, but also here to socialize with others.

3.Project Background

A.Team

From the introduction of members in the core team on the official website, the founder of Skytopia is a veteran in blockchain. Cofounders and game producer are professionals in the traditional gaming industry. The game producer, with 20 years’ work experience in gaming, worked in large companies like NetEase and Funplus and handled projects with a turnover of 1 billion.

Two of the core members are majoring in Art and Visual Design. No wonder this game has such great graphics!

B.Media Matrix

Twitter: with a high engagement, the official Twitter has 11o,000 followers (an increase of 50,000 this month) and keeps 2 updates per day or so. The pinning tweet was released on June 20th with more than 2,500 comments. I think there has been an ongoing event that increases engagement.

Discord:With an average engagement, currently there are 33,000 people and 300-500 of them are usually online. The engagement in the English channel is higher than that in the Chinese channel.

Telegram:With an average engagement, currently there are 18,000 people and 2000-3000 of them are usually online. The engagement has started to increase and we see newcomers join the community every day.

Medium: There is a high engagement in Medium. I’m used to observing the Medium of the project side and notice that the projects which are good at promoting themselves always only tweet crazily. Therefore, if there are continuous updates, some regular reports and the like on Medium, I believe that the project team is doing things steadily and has long-term planning. Skytopia’s Medium has been updated since May, 2022 with 1-2 articles coming out per week. Besides, the operating style is somewhat similar to that of Western game teams.

C.Story Background

The game is named Party Planet. From Skytopia’s website, it shows that Party Planet is only the first series of games on the platform followed by four other series of games: Mysterious Village, Cyber Racing Star, Dream Island, The City of Ruins. The cover drawings of each series of games on the official website is exquisite and worth a look.

D.Current Stage

From those chatting in the Skytopia community on Discord, the project should be developed for more than 1 year and started to mint NFT in the second half of last year. There have been two rounds of Free Mint and a total of more than 2,000 releases. You can click on “Go to Marketplace” on the official website and purchase them on Coinswap, the secondary market on CMP public blockchain. The current floor price of NFT is about 10U.

But I don’t understand why such a well-crafted game is going to be on Caduceus (CMP), a little blockchain. The CMP token keeps low prices now and always be on some second-tier leading exchanges. The main trading volume of the token is on Bybit and the current price is 0.03U. Did CMP give Skytopia a big Grant when it was developed? So it’s very understandable that the project has released the message that it is going to deploy to other chains. The magnitude of CMP in the public blockchain could not prop up the game quality of Skytopia.

IV. Economic Model

Finally, it comes to the economic model that I’m most concerned about. I have not found any information about the economic model on the official website and I think it is still being designed and adjusted. So I can only summarize the information I’ve got into a table for your reference based on the public information and its gameplay.

This project is clearly the style of the senior game team in WEB2. The team was concerned about the game quality. NFTs are not on sale but for Freemint and you won’t be played for suckers. Both tokens are currently only consumed or acquired in the game, and haven’t been listed on Dex or Cex. I don’t know when it will be listed, but I think it’s better to wait for an opportune moment in case squandering such a dedicated product developed for almost 2 years.

V. Project Summary

I always believe that in terms of the characteristics of the current users of WEB3 blockchain games, it’s not very suitable to create 3A games in WEB3. When 90% of the users come for money, hoping to certainly know a game in a few hours and when the users want to be the first players, it may be more likely for casual games to become explosive products, even just in the short term.

Eggy Go is the most successful game in WEB2 detonated by millennials’ social communication. Can “Party Planet” developed by Skytopia become the leader of WEB3 social blockchain games?

It appears that the following issues need to be addressed:

  1. Deploy as soon as possible on some public blockchains with a large user base, and it is definitely not appropriate to launch on such a small public blockchain;
  2. Imitate the success path of casual games such as “Goose Goose Duck”, “Among US” and”Eggy Go”, and try to expand popularity through social media influencers?
  3. Now the game is only available for PC, which is too heavy for users to carry with. Will the mobile and web version be launched in the future?
  4. The economic model demands more designs or nesting dolls, and the second layer of social narratives needs to be laid out.
  5. Overall, Party Planet has outperformed 95% of the blockchain games on the market in terms of art style and game smoothness. Looking forward to its performance in WEB3!

Talking about the popular sector Layer2, why is the layout of the encryption industry so?

Last week, an English Twitter SPACE with the theme “Looking for opportunities of ZK Rollup (Looking for ZK Rollup opportunities)” attracted widespread attention from overseas cryptocurrency circles.

浅聊热门板块Layer2,加密巨头为何纷纷布局?

The reason why this SPACE has attracted much attention is not only because several high-quality projects in the industry were invited to speak as guests, but the deeper reason is that the continuous development of Layer 2 technology has become an important development direction of blockchain technology, and the encryption giants The successive layout of the industry is also an important trend in the development of the entire industry.

The following are some excerpts compiled and translated by the editor for your reference:

host:

1) What is ZK Rollup? Why are they so important?

For Metas:

Explained in plain language, ZK rollup is like adding a superpower to the blockchain to make it more powerful. It enables faster transactions on the blockchain and reduces the fees required for transactions. You might be wondering why it’s called “zero knowledge”. This is because in ZK rollup, the transaction verification process uses a special technology called “zero-knowledge proof”. This technique can prove that the transaction is valid without revealing any transaction details. You can imagine a kind of magical magic that allows you to ensure the safety of transactions without requiring you to communicate or trust each other.

Unlike current Ethereum transactions that are entirely on-chain, ZK rollup also introduces off-chain functionality. This means that some transactions can be performed off-chain and the results submitted to the blockchain. This combination not only ensures security, but also improves transaction speed.

By using ZK rollup, you can enjoy many benefits. First, it can drastically reduce your transaction fees, making your wallet more cost-effective. Second, it can speed up the confirmation of transactions, and you no longer need to wait for a long time for the transaction to complete. Most importantly, it increases the security level of transactions, allowing you to trade with more confidence.

So, with ZK rollup, you can transact in a more cost-effective, faster and safer way. This is a big step forward for the development and popularization of blockchain, allowing more people to easily participate in it.

OpenLoo:

The full name of ZK is Zero Knowledge (Zero Knowledge Proof), which can prove the authenticity of a data transaction without revealing any other information. This concept is difficult to understand, we use an example to explain, ZK is like a very safe way to open the door without a key.

In Ethereum, Rollup is regarded as a key element of ETH expansion. Rollup’s solution is to move calculations and transactions off-chain and free up more space on Layer 1 to make it more secure and faster. I think Rollup is a really cool scaling solution. It is of great significance to fields such as DeFi, games, and social networking, because the user experience will be upgraded to the Web2 level, and no one will complain that DAPP is too slow or too stupid.

This is Layer2, which solves the problem of slow TPS and high gas cost of Layer1. Currently, mainstream Layer 2 project forms include Optimistic Rollups and ZK Rollups. The famous OP Rollups include Optimism and Arbtrium, and ZK Rollups include zkSync, StarkNet, and Linea.

host:

2) Are there any other projects worthy of participation in the future?

For Metas:

Personally, I have a positive view on projects like ZkSync. In the long run, ZK may become the best scalability technology, especially for some public blockchain projects like StarkNet and ZkSync. They have built a strong and complete ecosystem, providing users with rich functions and choices.

It should be noted that StarkNet is not a “zkEVM”, which means that smart contracts need to be written in Cairo, StarkNet’s own programming language. This makes developers need to adapt to the new programming environment, but also brings them greater flexibility and creativity.

As a participant, I also participate in some projects in these ecosystems. For example, StarkNet provides a variety of games, bringing users a variety of entertainment options; while ZkSync provides users with a wealth of DeFi products to help them realize asset value-added and management.

While there may be room for improvement in the user experience at the moment, I firmly believe that these projects will continue to be refined and optimized over time to bring users a better experience. We are in the early stages of the development of blockchain technology, and the advancement of these projects will bring more opportunities and innovations to the entire industry.

Openloo:

As I said, there are excellent Layer 2 projects such as Arbtrium and zkSync. They are very worthwhile projects. However, I personally highly recommend zkSync, StarkNet, and Linea, three well-known projects. This is because these projects have not yet issued tokens, and we have the opportunity to receive airdrops. In addition, many ecosystem DAPPs have migrated to these Layer 2 networks. I believe that everyone here has deeply realized the greatness of cryptocurrency.

host:

3) Do you have plans to deploy on any Layer2 projects?

For Metas:

certainly! We plan to deploy our platform on various second-layer projects in the future. We deeply understand the importance of scalability and cost-effectiveness in creating a great Web3 gaming experience. Through tight integration with second-layer solutions, we aim to provide users with faster transaction speeds and lower gas fees, thereby bringing them a smoother and cost-effective gaming experience.

Our team is actively exploring various second-layer projects, including ZkSync, Optimism, and StarkNet, among others. Our goal is to find the solution that best fits our platform needs and further enhance the user’s gaming experience. It’s been an exciting journey, and we’re doing our best to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each project, while thinking about potential partnerships to help us achieve our goals.

We are passionate about continuously pursuing innovation and enhancing user value in this ever-evolving field. We believe that by cooperating with excellent second-layer projects, we will be able to provide users with a more attractive and excellent gaming experience while contributing to the development of the entire Web3 ecosystem.

Openloo:

Currently, ZK Rollup is still in a very early stage of the ecosystem. And now is the perfect time for a blockchain team to build a project. Our product is a decentralized tool with on-chain data as its core. We are very optimistic about zk evm technology, so we will show you our strength in ZK WORLD. In the long run, with the further development of zk evm technology, it is believed that ZK will become the best solution for Rollup and the first choice for many blockchain projects.

NFT Market Braces for a Potential “CRASH!” – Attention NFT Investors!

The idea of NFTs has become popularized by the expanding metaverse industry and has emerged as the latest market favorite. As a subset of digital art, NFT art offers the digital age a new and varied aesthetic expression. It not only breathes fresh life into a number of established businesses, but also gives artists and innovators a brand-new platform from which to work and earn money. Additionally, it presents a brand-new investment possibility to regular investors.

However, what I want to highlight today is that there are problems concealed underneath the dazzling NFT industry. Your retained NFTs will lose value as more and more NFT platforms close their doors. The NFT market is currently contracting, and this is a trend.

What makes me say this? It’s critical to remember that despite the NFT market’s rapid growth, there is currently no regulation or standardization in place. The NFT market is threatened by problems like unending energy use, piracy, technological security issues, and legal entanglements. Let me elaborate on each of these problems.

1)Governmental repression and regulatory difficulties

For the NFT market, policies and regulations are of the utmost importance. Prior to now, the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in Hong Kong had issued warnings to investors regarding the dangers of NFTs. According to the SFC, NFTs have higher risks than other virtual assets, such as low secondary market liquidity, volatility, opaque pricing, hacking, and fraud.NFTs blur the lines between collectibles and financial assets, according to the SFC. The SFC mandates that NFTs that involve securities be governed and that NFTs that involve fundraising be granted licenses or authorizations by the SFC.

“I believe the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has provided very little clarity on NFTs, and there are many gray areas,” a U.S. SEC commissioner once said. They continued, “I believe that individuals need to exercise extreme caution in this scenario since there is so much uncertainty. This level of ‘regulation’ is not optimal.” This assertion underscores the skepticism with which regulatory bodies view the NFT sector. After all, there are dangers of financialization and securitization during the issuing and trade of NFTs because of their rarity and the possibility for investment. Some embed financial strategies into the underlying commodities of NFTs, using the NFT as an alias to evade regulation and engage in financial trading activities. For instance, presenting NFTs as financial goods, promoting or incentivizing speculation and trading, serving as an intermediary for financing and investments, using leverage, and other similar activities. Such corporate models will be subject to significant regulatory issues, whether they are domestic or global.

2)Endless Energy Consumption

The effects of NFTs on the ecosystem around the world have been made public by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The majority of NFT minting platforms use energy-intensive consensus procedures, such as Proof of Work (PoW), which results in high energy usage and carbon emissions, according to an EPA report that was published at the time. A typical illustration of this is the OpenSea platform.

The major energy consumption issue driving the NFT craze has been further confirmed by statistics from foreign sources indicating an NFT platform uses almost 421 kWh in a week, which is equal to the electricity usage of an EU resident for 1.5 months.

3)Rampant Infringement and Proliferation of Knock-offs

The contemporary NFT trading market for digital collectibles has grown massively. In China alone, there are at least hundreds of NFT trading platforms, not to mention the scenario elsewhere. Data can be used to verify the trading volumes of prominent platforms. Plagiarism is a problem in NFT digital collectibles on such a wide scale.

When it comes to NFTs, copyright and replica issues are very important. Many followers have shown that the majority of NFT works released on multiple platforms are made by making secondary changes to works from other platforms, and some works are even explicitly “copied and pasted,” which presenting serious copyright problems.

4)Technological Risks

Blockchain technology’s vulnerabilities originate from its immaturity and the architecture of blockchain processes and which are inextricably linked to the security of NFT transactions.

On the one hand, smart contracts, the essential technological foundation of NFTs, contain security flaws due to flawed program architectures. NFT encryption technology and storage keys, on the other hand, are vulnerable to viral attacks.

Blockchain’s intrinsic technological vulnerabilities pose hidden threats for NFT trading activity. Furthermore, the potential of privacy data leakage, such as identification information and transaction details, grows throughout the whole NFT bidding and trading process. If any leakage happens during the passage of NFTs, the security of participants’ assets may be jeopardized.

As far as we know, several NFT platforms in the market have never publicly revealed their contract audit information, implying that their underlying contracts have not been subjected to security audits. This suggests high asset risk as well as the possibility of covert operations.

In conclusion, according to the research presented above, many risk considerations exist behind the allure of NFTs, with regulatory impact being especially relevant. Remember the recent regulatory crackdown in the cryptocurrency business, when key exchanges Coinbase and Binance were sued by the SEC? Regulatory actions can occur at any time, and the current mixed bag of the NFT market could be the next target. When this occurs, the glittering bubble of NFTs will inevitably break.

Therefore, what is the future of the NFT market? The only way to know is to wait and see.

NFT Market on the Brink of a Sudden Halt: What’s Next for Leading Player REVA?

The idea of NFTs has just come to the forefront of public consciousness, propelling it to the position of market favourite thanks to the meteoric rise in popularity of the metaverse market. NFT art, which is a subgenre of digital art, has given rise to a new artistic practice that is rich in variety in this age of technology. Not only does it resuscitate a large number of historic sectors, but it also gives artists and producers a new outlet for their work and an additional source of revenue. In addition to this, it opens up a completely fresh investment opportunity for regular investors.

When we talk about non-fungible tokens (NFTs), it’s impossible not to think of REVA. In 2022, REVA disrupted the standard NFT trading paradigm and transformed the market with its unique collateralized lending method. This allowed REVA to address a variety of pain issues while also providing reliable profits for investors. Around the course of an astonishingly brief amount of time, it amassed more than 6 million members all around the world, solidifying its position as the market leader.

But today, what I want to say is that behind the glamorous NFT market, there are hidden risks to some extent, and which will lead more and more NFT platforms’ collapse in the future, and the NFTs you hold will only depreciate further. In other words, the decline of the NFT market has become a trend. Why do I say this? Well, the development of the NFT market has been rapid, but it currently lacks adequate regulation and standardization. Issues such as endless energy consumption behind NFTs, piracy, technological security, financial risks, and legal risks have always loomed over the NFT market like the sword of Damocles. Let’s take the example of the REVA platform to delve into this further.

1) Endless Energy Consumption

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States has made public information regarding the effect that NFTs have on the environment in general. The majority of non-fungible token minting platforms use energy-intensive consensus processes, such as Proof of Work (PoW), according to the EPA report that was published, which results in significant amounts of energy consumption and carbon emissions. In this way, the REVA’s case has surely proved the existence of harsh energy efficiency problems behind the scene of NFT booming.

2) Infringement, Piracy, and Proliferation of Copyrights

With hundreds of NFT trading platforms in China and countless more across the world, the digital collectibles NFT trading business is booming. Leading platforms’ transaction volumes are easily available and the problem of NFT plagiarism is becoming more widespread inside such a large context.

Take a closer look, the issues with copyright piracy and counterfeiting on the REVA platform are significant. A large number of REVA users and fans have revealed behind-the-scenes evidence suggesting that the vast majority of NFT artworks released on the REVA platform are based on secondary alterations of works originally released on other platforms. To be clear, there are serious copyright issues with the direct copying and pasting of some artworks on the market.

3) Technological Risks

The risks associated with blockchain technology stem from its immature state and the design of blockchain mechanisms, which are inextricably linked to the security of NFT transactions.

On the one hand, smart contracts, which serve as the foundational technology for NFTs, contain security flaws due to flawed program architectures. NFT encryption method and storage keys, on the other hand, are vulnerable to virus intrusion.

These inherent technical flaws in blockchain provide additional hazards for NFT trading activity. Furthermore, the risks of privacy data leaks, such as diverse identification and transaction information, continuously increase during the entire process of NFT bidding and transactions. If a leakage occurrence occurs during the flow of NFTs, the security of participants’ assets may be jeopardized.

According to current research, REVA has never officially revealed any contract audit information, implying that its underlying contracts have not been subjected to security audits. This indicates tremendous asset risk as well as the possibility of covert operations.

4) Financial Hazards

Risks such as financialization and securitization tendencies frequently occur throughout the process of NFT issuance and trade due to the scarcity of NFTs and the potential for investment possibilities. Some include financial techniques into the underlying commodities of NFTs, allowing them to avoid rules and participate in financial transactions while utilizing the NFT designation. For example, packaging NFTs as financial products, and encouraging speculative trading; financing and leveraged operations. REVA’s present model is a classic example, integrating financial management with the concept of NFTs to attract investors with high-yielding promises. In fact, many people are still unaware that this business strategy is subject to considerable regulatory hazards.

According to the evidence provided above, several risk factors exist beneath the glitzy veneer of NFTs, with regulatory impact being especially prominent. Remember the recent regulatory crackdown in the cryptocurrency space, when key exchanges like Coinbase and Binance were sued by regulatory organizations like the SEC? Regulatory actions could occur at any time, and the current mixed NFT market could be the next target. When this occurs, the glittering NFT bubble will inevitably explode.

We can only speculate on how REVA will respond.

Details: How does Polygon ZKP implement Zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) to improve users’ privacy?

With the rise of information capitalism, it is particularly important to find solutions that can ensure user information privacy and security. The increasing popularity of free internet applications used by billions of people worldwide has led to the majority of user information and data being controlled by large technology companies, often leading to the abuse of user privacy. Blockchain technologies such as Ethereum were created to return control to users, who also own user data. However, apart from pseudo anonymity, it does not have many methods to protect user privacy.

For example, if a user purchases something from someone using their wallet address, then their wallet address is now known to that person, and they will know what the user has done in the past and future, including what else they have bought or how much money they have bought, creating a real privacy issue for real-world purchases.

In order to solve this problem, Ethereum and various protocols are seeking to implement Zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) to improve users’ privacy. And Polygon zkEVM has emerged in the current trend of the times!

What is Zero-knowledge proof (ZKP)?

Zero-knowledge proof allows users to prove that they know or have information without disclosing information. The “prover” will use the information input from a certain system to create a proof, while the “verifier” will verify the calculation results of the proof, but cannot know the specific content of the information. Most importantly, Zero-knowledge proof can verify the validity of a data set and protect data privacy at the same time.

Why use Zero-knowledge proof technology to build a network?

Zero knowledge technology allows developers to not only take advantage of the security of underlying blockchains such as Ethereum, but also improve the transaction throughput and speed for dApp, and at the same time put users’ personal information down the chain to protect users’ privacy. The transaction will be packaged and uploaded onto the chain to reduce the usage cost for end users. Ultimately, the project can leverage these features to create advanced dApps that not only compete with Web2 systems in performance, but also maintain the advantages of Web3 decentralization.

What is Polygon zkEVM?

Polygon zkEVM is a decentralized Ethereum layer 2 scalability solution, which uses encryption Zero-knowledge proof to provide effectiveness and fast termination for off chain transaction computing (also known as ZK Rollup).

ZK Rollup transparently executes the smart contract by issuing zero knowledge validity proof, while maintaining the opcode compatibility with Ethereum virtual machine.

Since Ethereum is subject to the Trilemma of DLT (distributed ledger technology), it cannot expand beyond its transaction threshold without sacrificing decentralization or security. This is where Polygon zkEVM comes into play.

Polygon zkEVM is a virtual machine, which aims to simulate Ethereum virtual machine (EVM) by re creating all existing EVM operation codes, transparently deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts, and exponentially improve Ethereum scalability and trading volume per second (TPS).

In order to prove the correctness of off chain computing, Polygon zkEVM uses verifiable Zero-knowledge proof as the validity proof. Although the second layer of Zero-knowledge proof provides verification and finality for off chain transactions based on complex polynomial calculation, the validity proof is fast and easy to verify.

As a state machine, zkEVM executes state changes from the execution of the Ethereum Layer 2 transaction sent to the network by the user, and then generates a validity certificate to prove the correctness of the state change calculation executed under the chain.

Although adopting this revolutionary design method was a difficult decision, the goal was to minimize friction between users and developers when using the solution. This is a way to recreate all EVM opcodes to transparently deploy existing Ethereum smart contracts.

ZKP Partner

Polygon zkEVM is a new technology and the first zero knowledge extension solution equivalent to EVM, where existing smart contracts, developer tools, and wallets can work seamlessly. Polygon zkEVM uses Zero-knowledge proof to reduce transaction costs and improve throughput, while inheriting the security of Ethereum.

The transactions in the zkEVM network (L2) are compiled into batches, and then these batches are sorted in the Ethereum smart contract. Then their state transitions are proved and verified on Ethereum, reaching a trusted state.

ZkEVM has multiple operation layers:

Network layer: The place where Sequencers and Aggregators run.

ROM layer: zkEVM uses a new language called zkASM to implement EVM, making EVM state transactions provable.

Hardware layer: zkEVM uses a new language called PIL to create polynomial identities and constraints to ensure the integrity and good execution of zkASM ROM.

L1 Ethereum smart contract: bridge assets between networks and implement PoE (efficiency proof) consensus to ensure correct state transition of batches.

During the security review, the Hexens team covered the most critical attack areas, including smart contracts, PIL hardware, and unexpected differences between zkASM ROMs, EVMs, and zkEVMs.

Due to its complexity and composability, censorship requires extensive professional knowledge and thinking in different fields of cybersecurity. The final conclusion is that overall security and code quality are at a high level.

Why deploy ZKP on the Coin Security Chain?

Polygon zkEVM is the first zero knowledge expansion solution compatible with Ethereum virtual machines, integrating smart contracts and developer tools. As a Layer 2 protocol, Polygon is faster and more scalable than Ethereum; However, the introduction of zkEVM functionality will definitely make it more scalable.

The launch of zkEVM tool is an important milestone, which will definitely promote Polygon to take the lead in the competition of the top tier 2 protocol of Ethereum blockchain. From Optimism to Arbitrum, and more recently to Cobarium and Base of Coinbase Exchange, Polygon will now become the first L2 to launch zkEVM tools in encrypted systems.

Relatively, zkEVM has not yet achieved sufficient development on the coin security chain, and the market is relatively empty. At the same time, the development of ZKP requires users to continuously trade to verify its effectiveness and stability, so the Polygon team deployed ZKP on the top of Coin Security Chain, aiming to fill the temporary shortcomings of Coin Security Chain in zkEVM.

summarize

The combination of Zero-knowledge proof with the underlying blockchain and decentralized network is bound to promote the transformation of the blockchain industry. Polygon zkEVM will develop applications with high scalability and cost-effectiveness, while protecting user privacy. With the continuous development of the blockchain industry, Polygon zkEVM is bound to gain the favor of more individual users and enterprises.
