1/ $FINE @refinableapp (refinable.com)
-The premier NFT Marketplace on BSC
-Innovative NFT creation and discoverability features
-@binance and @MrBeast (60M youtube subscribers) as early investors👀
-Launching tomorrow (April 23rd) with an initial circ mcap of $900k
2/ Refinable is well positioned to establish itself as the reference NFT platform for BSC, and it will be much more that just an “OpenSea for BSC”, as it’s bringing innovation on all sides including Minting, Discovery, DeFi <> NFTs, and incentives around it’s $FINE token
3/Creators minting NFTs through Refinable will be able to set the usual parameters including scarcity and re-sale royalties, but also advanced features including custom preview options, bundling multiple NFTs into one + storing private files that can only be seen by the NFT owner
4/ Refinable’s design philosophy is to be content agnostic, so it will cater not only to the traditional image / video / audio NFTs but also to NFT game items, tokenised domain names, file bundles, and even tokenised real estate (partnership announced with @labsgroupio)
5/ Refinable will also act as an NFT launchpad acting as a tech partner for other NFT projects to create and host their content. Basically, Refinable aims to cover all possible aspects of NFT minting and distribution, being a “one-stop shop” for creators.
6/ The platform will also have a strong focus on discovery / “searchability” which imo is one of the main pain points in existing NFT market places.
For example, it will include sections for similar themed NFTS, public and private “collections”…
7/ … it will have featured content curated by the Refinable team but also by $FINE token holders through governance voting…
We can imagine artists with a passionate following getting the help of their fans to vote their art up and have it featured on the Refinable front page.
8/ And Refinable will also have a strong focus on social features, including easy sharing of content to external applications, following/bookmarking of favorite creators/NFTs, and verified profiles (the equivalent of the twitter blue checkmark) for the most prominent creators.
9/ On the trading side, Refinable will allow creators to decide which token they wish to get paid in, while allowing buyers to pay with any token and doing the necessary token swaps in the background (thanks to low fees on BSC, this is possible without any material added cost)
10/ On top of all these features, Refinable also intends at a later stage to integrate many DeFi oriented solutions for users to leverage their NFTs, such as NFT fractionalisation, NFT lending, and borrowing using NFTs as collateral.
11/ Refinable will likely be the first to integrate all these NFT related products into a single place, which should help position it as the undisputed NFT platform on BSC. The fact that @binance itself is an early investor in the project certainly seems to support this thesis...
12/ $FINE will be both a utility and governance token for the platform, with innovative incentives for $FINE holders such as:
-Boosted NFT listing exposure (this alone should create strong demand for the token)
-Increased re-sale royalty limits
-Discounted platform commissions
13/ $FINE holders will also get access to special item auctions, exclusives drops, etc. And on the governance side, $FINE holders will be able to submit and vote on proposals for the team, as well as voting on featured NFTs, as mentioned earlier.
14/ The max supply of $FINE is 500M, with the allocation split and unlock schedule as per the chart below. Initial market cap will be $899k, which as you can imagine, means this will fly at listing given the project’s ambitions and list of early backers.
15/ Speaking of listing, Refinable will be the first BSC exclusive IDO to launch on @polkastarter, which imo helps confirm just how high profile this launch will be.
IDO and PancakeSwap listing will take place tomorrow (April 23rd) at a time to be announced.
16/ Refinable also has an impressive team with strong blockchain and entrepreneurship experience, and counts @boxmining and @ekhqc409 as advisors.
2/ This whole thread could be filled with just the incredible list of backers and partnerships EPNS has in place, but let’s start with the product.
I suspect this is a product that will get so much adoption that a year from now it will be hard to believe it didn’t always exist.
3/ EPNS, or “Ethereum Push Notification Service”, is a decentralised notification protocol that enables users (wallet addresses) to receive notifications directly from decentralised or centralised services in a privacy preserving manner.
1/ $DOUGH @PieDAO_DeFi (piedao.org)
PieDAO offers fully decentralised market weighted token indexes (the equivalent to crypto ETFs), some serious innovation such as PieVaults and Ovens, a major partnership with NFTX, and is still only at $14M mcap...
2/With PieDAO, you can for example invest in a weighted portfolio of DeFi bluechips ( $AAVE, $MKR, $SNX, $YFI ..) through the $DEFI+L token, in a basket of smaller/high growth DeFi names ( $BAL, $REN, $UMA, $LRC ) through the $DEFI+S token, or on a 70/30 mix of both with $DEFI++
3/ Another PieDAO favorite is $BCP (Balanced Crypto Pie), with the ultimate “buy it and forget it” portfolio allocation: 1/3 $WBTC, 1/3 $WETH and 1/3 $DEFI++.
I seriously suspect most people would do better by just buying and holding $BCP than by actively trading…
1/ Looking forward to the @polkadomain $NAME public sale taking place tomorrow. PolkaDomain is a Decentralised domain name service (DNS) powered by Polkadot, through which users can convert their hexadecimal blockchain wallet addresses into unique readable .pd addresses.
2/ Where @polkadomain stands out compared to existing DNS solutions such as ENS, is that it leverages Polkadot’s cross-chain architecture to allow for .pd addresses to be used across multiple blockchains and easily support cross chain transactions.
3/ So for a tx among .pd domains where the sending and the receiving addresses are on different chains (eg from Polkadot to Ethereum), PolkaDomain automatically generates cross-chain data using Polkadot’s XCMP, completely abstracting the cross-chain mechanics from the final user.
Mixsome will be a user friendly, low-fee solution to go from fiat onramp to deploying complex DeFi strategies in a few clicks, making DeFi more accessible to the general public.
2/ Mixsome will allow the execution of investment strategies (“DeFi flows”) by wrapping up multiple transactions into a joint transaction executed by a single smart contract. And where it gets very interesting is that Mixsome will use xDai to execute part of these transactions
3/ By using xDai, they will drastically reduce gas fees for users. A strategy that would usually involve 3 or 4 gas hungry txs on ETH L1, will now involve two simpler bridging txs (to get in and out of the xDAI sidechain) and all the remaining complex txs will happen on xDAI.
2/ For starters, anything from weapons, to armour or spells will be represented by NFTs that can be earned through in-game events, slaying monsters, etc. These NFTs can be bought & sold both through in-game auction houses or through the usual off game NFT market places.
3/ $MIST is the in-game currency which can be used to buy NFT items, buy farmland or businesses to earn yield from them (quite the literal definition of yield farming), and much more
$MIST can be earned by completing missions, slaying monsters, selling NFTs, etc
1/ $AC @NUTSFinance (acoconut.fi).
Here is a low-cap gem that is bringing cross chain liquidity and yield aggregation to $BTC, with a platform already live on Ethereum and BSC, and more blockchains to come.
This is a <$10M MCap, $BADGER ($326M) meets $MTA project...
2/ Just looking at the team and some of the project’s backers, we can see that @NUTSFinance has high ambitions. The team includes former managers/partners/employees of S&P Global, China Growth Capital (VC fund with over $1.2bn AUM), Google and Yahoo, to name a few.
3/ Angel investors include the co-founder of $DODO and the former head of Apac for @Ledger, and in February the project received a $500k strategic investment from @Block_Ark. Considering this was an under $5M MCap project at the time, this is a major vote of confidence.
