Matr1x Fire has been in production since 2021, as a game designed to onboard more users into the world of crypto and Web3. Character NFTs are one of the cornerstone assets in the Matr1x FIRE ecosystem, allowing players to participate in key activities such as gold-making and mining. With the introduction of the breeding feature, players now have the ability to create new NFTs, contributing to the game’s evolving virtual economy, as the Matr1x team continues to pave the way for the future of Web3 gaming

Commenting on the announcement, Madeira, co-founder of Matr1x, stated: “The launch of the breeding feature for Character NFTs marks another step in empowering our player community; moreover, it is a testament to Matr1x’s dedication to pioneering new economic models that prioritise user involvement and sustainable growth. Our team behind Matr1x FIRE continues to redefine what Web3 gaming can achieve, bringing unique value to players and creators alike.”

Matr1x FIRE’s sustainable model is designed to address prevalent issues in the Web3 gaming sector, such as inflation and economic instability. This breeding update exemplifies Matr1x’s commitment to enhancing player-driven experiences, pushing the boundaries of blockchain gaming innovation, and setting new standards for decentralised gaming.

The Matr1x platform has already demonstrated success through its innovative approaches, with total downloads of Matr1x FIRE now standing at 4.5M and seeing 80K daily active users. In conjunction with the launch of the breeding feature, the FIRE token, the utility currency that powers Matr1x FIRE’s ecosystem, has experienced a significant market uptick, underscoring growing market confidence in the Matr1x platform and its progressive economic framework.

Matr1x is steadfast in its commitment to expanding its ecosystem. Alongside Matr1x FIRE, the platform is developing Matr1x Battle, a battle royale version, while also integrating partner-developed games like Evermoon, a 5vs5 MOBA, and Castile, a Cthulhu-themed ARPG card game. This growth highlights Matr1x’s ambition in establishing itself as a cutting-edge Web3 entertainment platform, bringing together players, creators, and developers in a collaborative ecosystem.

The Olas Foundation, which was launched in late April 2024, is a non-profit that stewards an open-publishing protocol development, harnessing blockchain technology to democratise access to non-private information, with the goal of becoming the most trusted media platform on the internet.

The team, founded by Ciaran Muuray, are targeting the issues facing legacy media and knowledge systems, such as dwindling revenue, misinformation and distrust.

Founded in 2018, Nethermind is an Ethereum execution client available to be run on Windows, Linux, and macOS. In April of this year Nethermind announced its launch of the Starknet Grants program, created to provide grants to developers they feel have the potential to bring innovative, user-facing products to the ecosystem.

The total allocated amount in this fund sits at $1 million, and today’s announcement notes Olas as one of the new projects to be receiving a grant accordingly. This strategic investment by Nethermind looks to propel Olas’ mission further and drive innovation in the media landscape.

In addition to the grant amount of €100k, benefits that the Olas team will be able to avail of include access to the ecosystem, expert guidance from the ecosystem developers and consideration for future funding opportunities.

Olas aims to create a media platform with:

• A sustainable economic model using quadratic funding, offering an alternative to traditional advertising and subscriptions;

• Content from independent contributors, with payouts based on performance in review markets, with its decentralised structure preventing any single entity from having control, distributing power to users;

• Market and reputation-based protocols will promote accuracy, integrity, and reliability;

• Quality control mechanism that looks to encourage knowledgeable readers to review information, maintaining high standards in news and information production.

It is the team’s belief that such technology will be a viable solution to contemporary media institutions, providing value to readers of the news, researchers and journalists alike. 

With this grant, the Olas team will be focusing on the development of its Opinion Markets, which will serve as a platform where contributors to Olas offer diverse opinions and predictions on various subjects.

What sets Olas’ Opinion Market structure apart is the difference of its prediction market utilised from traditional prediction markets, with Olas’ looking to incorporate BTS (Bayesian Truth Serum) or SPA (Surprisingly Popular Algorithm).

This structure seeks to remedy current issues associated with traditional prediction markets, as bettors are currently more incentivised to bet on what they believe the majority believes to be true rather than what they know to be true themselves. 

In order to achieve this new prediction market, and from that the Opinion Market, the team’s efforts will be centred on:

• Developing a working BTS algorithm in Cairo for on-chain execution on Starknet.

• Devising a method for private or secret voting on Starknet.

Blockchain is the most disruptive technology that has been created since the emergence of the Internet in the last century. This technology was designed for decentralized data storage, in a public, secure and immutable way. Therefore, it is the technology behind Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

For years, large corporations and banks have explored its possibilities and applications in the real world, achieving several significant use cases. Blockchain technology is based on a chain of blocks that stores operations by stacking blocks in a continuous and decentralized manner.

This type of database has the advantage of being public and immutable, which allows third parties to verify the data stored there, in each of the blocks of the chain. Hence, its main usefulness is that it is seen as a large, unalterable, and shared accounting book with operations that a large number of computers record simultaneously.

While it is true that understanding this technology and managing it can be intimidating for some people, the multidisciplinary team at Unknown Gravity are true experts in developing applications under blockchain.

THE COMPANY THAT IS DRIVING CHANGE

Unknown Gravity is a revolutionary blockchain company that is changing the way this decentralized technology is viewed and used in Spain, offering top-level solutions to provide cutting-edge products and services.

Since it is also a 360 Blockchain Agency that provides services ranging from consulting, development, marketing, and graphic design to regulatory compliance, making it easier for companies to stop worrying about the challenges of creating blockchain applications to focus exclusively on generating wealth for its shareholders.

This company was formed from the alliance of a group of industry leaders in blockchain technology from Spain and specialists who offered comprehensive digital development and marketing services separately, which in 2023 decided to join forces to create a Blockchain 360 Agency.

Thanks to the experience in the world of blockchain of the multidisciplinary team of this Malaga company, they can create, develop and implement scalable comprehensive solutions in record time that improve the efficiency, security, and transparency of their client’s business processes immediately producing better operational results.

Likewise, marketing and design services, which include Content Creation, Social Media, Branding, and Search Engine Optimization (SEO), are designed to provide blockchain solutions and projects fully online and in the production stage.

With Unknown Gravity, companies that are starting to create projects based on blockchain will not have the need to invest time and resources in acquiring the know-how of this technology, so they will have more time to exploit its benefits.

For all this and more, Unknown Gravity is the company that is changing the way blockchain technology is seen and used in Spain, since thanks to its innovative and personalized solutions, companies can fully take advantage of the potential of this decentralized technology and benefit from its many advantages without complications.
