All the details can be found in our medium article, Announcing AQUA Airdrop #2.

Exchanges have the option to take part in the airdrop, with a few changes to the rules due to the amount of XLM they can hold for their users. If an exchange registers their wallets with Aquarius, we lift the 10 Million AQUA cap on their wallets that hold at least 1 AQUA at the time of the snapshot.

Users of participating exchanges only need to hold XLM on the exchange to be eligible for the airdrop, as the exchange’s Stellar wallets hold 1 AQUA to signal the airdrop on chain. This also means exchange users can hold less than 500 XLM, as exchanges will distribute proportionally to their users. Exchanges will distribute AQUA to their users in accordance with their internal snapshot of users’ XLM holdings on January 15, 2022, at 00:00:00 UTC.

Exchanges can reach the Aquarius team at airdrop@aqua.network if they would like to participate. Participating exchanges will distribute AQUA to their users according to their balances on their exchange at the snapshot time. Aquarius will distribute equal portions of total airdrop rewards in intervals over three years.

If you’re looking for a way to make money with crypto, then this article is for you!

We’ll show you how easy it is to start investing in cryptocurrencies and make $5 million dollars starting with just $1000.

We’ll walk you through the steps of setting up your first cryptocurrency wallet and buying your first coins.

You can even set up an automatic purchase plan so that each month you buy more coins at a pre-set price!

Check out our blog post on “How To Make $5 M in Crypto Starting $1000” now!

Hi, The Crypto Cell is an education organization that helps newcomers learn about cryptocurrency investing so they can invest and trade responsibly and safely with our expert advice on diversifying your portfolio, buying low, selling high, and avoiding scams.

Cryptocurrency is a new way to make money. It’s not just for the geeks, nerds, and hackers anymore.

Bitcoin has soared in value this year as headlines of its meteoric rise were splashed across major media outlets all over the world.

There are now close to 1,300 different cryptocurrencies available today with prices ranging from a few cents to tens of thousands per unit.

You can buy them on exchanges like Coinbase or Gemini, which might be intimidating at first if you’re not familiar with cryptocurrency trading platforms.

But don’t worry — it’s actually easier than ever for newcomers and experienced investors alike.

If you start investing $1000 now and watch your investment grow without doing anything else at all…

you could end up making $5 million.

Why not start by choosing the most popular cryptocurrency of them all?

Bitcoin has been around since 2009 and it’s continuing to grow.

There are believers out there who believe this could be a long-term investment opportunity, while others think crypto is just another bubble ready for bursting at any moment — either way, you’re guaranteed an interesting ride!

Ethereum is one of the most promising coins on this list.

It has steadily increased in value over time and it’s only going up from here! Ethereum allows you to execute brilliant contracts with other users without trusting third parties like banks or governments for security purposes, which makes it so powerful because there’s no need for anyone can run their own node if they want to,

Plus all transactions are verified through blockchain tech meaning nobody will ever lie about what happened between two people who used these networks… Ever again!

You’ll never have any problems getting payments completed thanks

You’ve heard of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. But what about all those other cryptocurrencies?

Cryptocurrencies are a new form of currency that uses cryptography to secure transactions and control the creation of additional units in electronic forms such as cash credit cards etc.

The first cryptocurrency was created back when we were still using punch cards for our computers!

These days there’s RadeonCoin (yes really), Dark coin/Bitcoin couplets(which one depends on who you ask), and many more besides so I’ll give my two cents worth below…

There are many different exchanges out there to buy cryptocurrencies, but not all of them will have what you want.

Make sure that the exchange has low fees and wide coverage before spending any money on it because this can save a lot in future expenses if something goes wrong with your purchase!

Often, the best opportunities to buy low and sell high in crypto come when a coin or token has just had its price explode.

You might have missed out on your chance at purchasing Bitcoin in 2017 because it was so expensive but you still can get some great returns by buying into forks such as Bitcoin Gold (an alternative blockchain).

A few months ago there were predictions that Ethereum could crash back down below $1 per Ether; instead today they are valued at around $14!

This is our cue for getting involved now before prices go even higher…

Here are a few ways you can keep your coins safe.

First, use an offline device such as a hardware wallet for secure storage of digital currency or web browser-based accounts which provide protection through encryption technology and two-factor authentication features like text message codes delivered to smartphones every time someone wants to access certain information on their account (e-mail address).

Another option would be creating different passwords per website; this will make sure no matter what happens if one site gets hacked then others still remain untouched because nobody has full control over them all at once!

The best way to make money is by reinvesting profits.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies are a great place for this because there are always opportunities waiting!

You left your crypto investments in the hands of someone who knows what they’re doing and wants to make sure you don’t miss out on any potential growth.

You can reinvest profits for even more wealth, with our high yield ROI that pays off at 5%.

Buy low and sell high is always a great investment strategy, but it’s especially important when it comes to cryptocurrencies.

Many people missed out on Bitcoin in 2017 because the prices were too high, but buying into forks like Bitcoin Gold can still give you good returns.

SolidProof, a reputable blockchain auditing firm in Germany, has already conducted the contract audit. It has since received a contract audit badge to show it is secure and free of any vulnerabilities.

Gwaraverse is a simulated digital environment that creates room for user engagement on metaverse by utilizing augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and blockchain technologies.

Gwaraverse’s concept aims to create its community by utilizing essential enabling technologies to increase the quality of experience in the metaverse successfully. Through tokenomics, NFTs trading, and Gwara lock, it will give its participants control over their finances. It simultaneously maximizes experience through decentralized health care, gaming, and entertainment.

Gwara Lock is a product of the Metagwara project that will soon launch. Once launched, it will allow a lock-up of a specific MGT amount over a certain period to gain rewards. However, it would be best to have the $MTG token before staking it.

Through the Gwara Lock staking, you can directly contribute to the blockchain’s MTG ecosystem efficiency, security, and authenticity. Another advantage that staking has is it assists in shielding you from $MGT panic sales due to volatility.

Gwaraverse project was launched in 2021 and is currently witnessing exponential growth in the number of participants.

$MGT now has a total supply of 500 trillion tokens. The project recently carried out its presale on Pinksale that lasted for a day, raising 449.665 BNB. The presale saw a contribution from 528 people with I BNB equating to 40 Billion MGT. Notably, Metagwara set up the soft cap at 250 BNB while the hard cap was $500 BNB. After the launch, $MTG is currently trading on Pancakeswap.

According to the roadmap, the first stage will have the airdrop, presale, and Pancakeswap launch, which it has already achieved. There is also an estimation goal of 5000 holders and 15000 telegram members followed by CMG and CG listing, which is yet to be done.

Stage 2 will involve donations to charities, the Gwara Lock and Gwara Shop launch, and a Cetik audit. There is also a goal to reach 15,000 holders and 25,000 telegram members by this time.

Stage 3 will see the Gwara Swap, Gwara NFT, and CEX listing launch. During this stake, the team hopes to achieve 50,000 holders. Lastly, stage 4 will have a Shopping.io partnership, the launch of Gwara gaming, and the Gwara chain and Now payment.

Metagwara is a web 3.0 driven token in the meta/gamefi ecosystem created to bring into reality the Gwaraverse. It is a community-driven ecosystem that promotes financial interests and educates holders to manage their finances. You can catch more updates through their social media;

The biggest drawback of the Ethereum blockchain is that it is not yet developed enough to handle large volumes of transactions with ease. Transaction processing is slow, which can cause you to miss important opportunities. In addition, users have complained about the high gas fees. Gas fees are the costs that users have to pay in order for their transactions to go through.

When a user wants to make a transaction, they also have to pay for each action that they perform on the network. To counter these issues, users usually consider switching to other chains in the market. However, adapting to a new chain is always difficult because there are numerous challenges that come with it.

This is where Cronos World comes in handy. Users can find everything Cronos has to offer at Cronos World, all under one roof. If you already have Ethereum-based decentralized applications (DApps) or smart contracts, you can port them to Cronos without much modification. The platform serves as a Launchpad, an NFT marketplace, and an AMM DEX.

You need to find a way to make money from your NFTs. You don’t have the time or resources to do it yourself. CronosWorld is the perfect solution for you. It offers a simple and easy-to-use NFT marketplace that is designed with modern-day needs in mind. The Launchpad feature helps users launch their blockchain projects with the greatest ease and professionalism.

Developed by Crypto.com, Cronos is a sidechain. A sidechain is a separate blockchain that is linked up with the main chain. We can experiment, innovate and compete to improve existing protocols by creating a new blockchain that is linked to the native chain. Cronos offers the ability to port applications developed on any EVM-based chain onto its network. You can keep running all of your existing Ethereum apps on this chain for free. You do not have to reinvest all your existing investments in your app when you move to a new chain.

Once you’ve claimed your BANK tokens it’s time to participate in the DAO.

This is your guide.

If you have a Bankless Badge from 2020 or 2021 you can join the Bankless DAO at genesis. Those who’ve owned BAPs or given to Bankless Gitcoin grants in the past also have the ability to join at genesis.

For genesis eligibility details check the criteria at the bottom of the announcement post.

Here’s how to join and participate in the genesis season of the Bankless DAO.

1. Read the announcement post. Scroll to the end and see if you have an Ethereum address that fits under the Retroactive Distribution eligibility criteria. (Hint: any address that holds a 2020 or 2021 badge is eligible!)

2. Claim BANK tokens. If you have an Ethereum address that meets the eligibility requirements in announcement post go to the Bankless DAO website, connect your wallet using Metamask or WalletConnect, and claim BANK participation tokens.

3. Note: BANK tokens are valueless tokens — they are only used for access to the DAO discord and to vote in DAO proposals.

4. Join the Discord. The Bankless DAO discord is where DAO members congregate to discuss the talents they can bring to the DAO as well as to coordinate around governance and proposals. This discord requires a specified amount of BANK tokens to access all the channels.

5. Share your skills. Step up. Tell the DAO how you can help it achieve its mission. When you join the Bankless Discord go to the #intros channel and share your skills and how you can contribute to the DAO. We expect the DAO to need developers, planners, writers, content producers, analysts, meme artists, and community managers and who knows what else!

6. Vote on Genesis Proposal. After claiming BANK and joining the discord you can vote in governance proposals. The first item for vote is the Genesis Proposal which has been put forward by RSA and David Hoffman. Read the proposal and vote YES or NO using SnapShot.

7. The Bankless DAO Discord Channel is the core communication and coordination hub for the organization. Joining the Discord is the first step you can make towards helping the DAO succeed. But in order to access, you must hold 35,000 BANK.

8. Here’s how to join:

9. After you join discord as a Member stop by the #intros channel to share your skills and what you can contribute to the DAO.

10. New channels will unlock for you as you participate in the DAO. Initially, there are three levels of discord channel access.

11. We expect new access levels to be added and existing levels to be reconfigured over time. The overall goal of discord access stratification is to reward participation and curate the community into smaller squads who are accountable for key deliverables.

12. There’s no shortage of opportunity for the right people. The DAO will need content creators, media nodes, designers, builders, and people to manage all of these projects.

13. At genesis we want to learn more about your skills — what can you do for the DAO? Start by introducing yourself and sharing details about your talents to the #intros channel.

14. Then, start doing something for the DAO. Don’t wait to be told what to do. Jump in a write, build, create. When something you do aligns with the mission of the DAO it will find ways to reward your participation.

15. Some potential needs at genesis:

16. BANK represents the right to vote on governance proposals. All the proposal’s brainstorming, discussions, and signaling will occur in the Discord’s #proposal Section. You can monitor any new proposals that move to an on-chain Snapshot vote in the #snapshot-votes channel.

17. Here’s how to vote:

Greenheart’s Raise was affected by the sharp rise in price for Ethereum. The outcome of this was that while the price of tokens in ETH remained the same, the USD value of the token had risen significantly.

Originally the $500k raise would have meant:

500,000/0.075 = 6666666.66667 Holding Tokens.

During the Payment window, the price of $ETH was $3150 at “Open” and $3310 at “Close”. Taking a middle price of $3230, the total raise was capped at 224.375 $ETH giving a USD value of $724,731.25.

724,731.25/0.075 = 9663083.33333 tokens.

launchpool.medium.com

During the allocation and distribution phase, the take up of allocation from each pool was as follows:

Pool 1 (50 Limit) 84.46% = 1,877,778 Holding Tokens

Pool 2 (250 Limit) 87.72% = 1,949,333 Holding Tokens

Pool 3 (No Limit) 97% = 2,157,778 Holding Tokens

Total Holding tokens allocated = 5,984,889.

9663083.33333/5,984,889 = 1.61458.

Therefore, every holding token will receive 1.61458 CBD tokens.

Distribution of the Holding token will open at around 9am UTC, on Thursday, 6th of May 2021.

We understand the TGE and listing will happen later that day. The cutoff to receive the TGE airdrop will be one hour before listing. Listing time is still to be confirmed by the team, please follow their announcement channel for details (link in footer).

To honour commitments to our community, both teams at Launchpool and Greenheart have added an additional $25,000 worth of tokens at 7.5 cents to the pot to be distributed fairly amongst all allocation miners.

Thank you for being part of Launchpool!

Greenheart is a leading CBD tech company using DeFi, blockchain, and crypto to bring the agricultural industry into the 21st century. We equally passionate about both blockchain and CBD!

Implementing involuntary locking and vesting mechanisms prevents participants from instantly selling rewards gained within the protocol (mercenaries). It also gives the developers time to enhance the utility of its native token. Incentivising staking and locking, whilst penalising early exit improves the chances of a protocol to build a strong ecosystem where most early participants are supporters. This is our intention for Nereus.

Vesting

As mentioned in the Nereus V1 Whitepaper, Nereus will implement a vesting period for all rewards received within the protocol. This mechanism is used to discourage protocol participants from instantly selling rewards gained within the protocol, allowing Nereus time to increase the utility of the WXT token. Nereus plans to deviate from the industry standard by implementing a 75% penalty for the early exit of the vesting period. The team implemented this aggressive penalty after observing the significant price devaluation in the incentive token of the Blizz Finance protocol (BLZZ) despite a 50% exit penalty at origination.

Vesting within the Nereus protocol is automatically initiated when rewards are issued, with rewards vesting for 3 months. Community members can exit this vesting period, although they will incur the abovementioned 75% exit penalty. Vesting mechanisms should ensure participants in a protocol operate in a Pareto-optimal way (in a way that leaves all participants better off). In the case of Blizz, a single-player holds 48% of all Blizz Finance’s TVL at the time of writing, and this participant instantaneously sold all rewards received, regardless of the 50% exit penalty. This selling pressure drove the significant downward price movement of the BLZZ token, and negatively impacted all other protocol participants.

Locking

Nereus will implement an industry-standard locking mechanism, following a weekly classifying locking schedule. Once funds are locked within the Nereus protocol, it will not be possible to break the contract early. Lockers will be incentivised with 50% of all protocol revenues and 50% of all penalty fees charged to participants who decide to exit the vesting period early. This will allow community members to directly benefit from the protocol’s activity.

Staking

Nereus will implement a Staking mechanism providing protocol participants with the ability to generate high APY passive income on WXT. Voluntary stakers will be free to withdraw their funds at any time, with no penalties and will be incentivised with 50% of all protocol revenues. The staked WXT will be used throughout the protocol to add liquidity and enhance operations. This will allow community members to directly generate passive income on WXT, whilst supplementing the Protocol.

Mercenary Behaviour — A Case Study

A Pertinent example of this Mercenary behaviour can be found in the wallet 0xc5ed2333f8a2c351fca35e5ebadb2a82f5d254c3. This address deposits cryptocurrencies within high-reward protocols and employs recursive borrowing to leverage its capital within the protocol. The address owner has its own algorithmic bots to monitor and top-up positions preventing liquidation events. The leveraged positions farm incentive rewards from the protocol on the lending and borrowing markets. The positions are diversified across chains and protocols but concentrated on stablecoins and blockchain native tokens (ETHs and AVAX), yielding more assets that can be sold instantaneously to gain substantial returns. The positions can be naturally hedged as almost the same number of tokens are bought, supplied, and then borrowed to be potentially sold back in the market (likely FTX given the address ownership of FTTs).

BENQI: 87.3m WAVAX supplied — 111.9m WAVAX borrowed

AAVE: 80m WAVAX supplied — 70m WAVAX borrowed

BLIZZ: 9.5m WAVAX supplied — 3.2m WAVAX borrowed

TraderJoe: 37.5m WAVAX supplied — 21.2m WAVAX borrowed

Total: 214.3m supplied for 206.3m borrowed

The Blizz protocol unsymmetrically incentivises borrowing over deposits (supply). This strategy has been utilised by Blizz to inflate the protocol’s total value locked. Smaller participants are unlikely to remain in the protocol when the incentive rewards decline (this process has already begun). Overly incentivising borrowing also has the effect of lowering the overall health of the protocol, as it encourages participants to leverage their positions, lowering the total health factor of the protocol, and increasing the protocols exposure to market volatility.

Nereus is calibrated to Prevent Mercenary Capital

The Nereus team understands the challenge raised by the mercenary risk and intends to preserve its rewards for long-term participants using the features available in the first version of the protocol. The most relevant features of the first versions are the length of the locking period and the exit penalty level.

Nereus allocates incentive rewards equally to the lending and borrowing markets to mitigate risky behaviour. This incentive distribution model paired with the 75% vesting early exit penalty, should help mitigate the drastic reduction in TVL and native token price devaluation experienced by the Blizz Protocol at least until more helpful features (e.g. loyalty-driven rewards distribution) are released in the later phases of the Nereus protocol.

Low liquidity on the NFT marketplace leads to users undercutting each other below the “floor price”.

This makes it especially handy to have a Bot monitoring the market for good discounts.

In this example I’ll be using the Loaded Lions Collection. The bot searches the collection’s marketplace and notifies the user whenever a new listing is posted below floor price.

To start you can clone my Repo from this link.git clone https://github.com/jianminggit/NFT_BOT.git

3. Your app is now running, but it won’t work because it is missing some environmental variables.

4. Under the app settings, fill in the following Config_Vars.

5. BOT_TOKEN: The access code from the telegram bot

6. Heroku URL: https://<Application Name>.herokuapp.com

7. Restart the app to let your configurations take effect.

8. You now have your very own market alert bot!

9. You can skip this part unless you wish to understand how the bot works.

10. Let’s start off by using Node.js and Express to build a simple web server.

11. 1.) Web Server

12. We will be hosting this application on Heroku. To prevent the application from going to sleep on the free tier we do a self-call periodically.

13. 2.) Heroku Free Tier (inactivity sleep workaround)

14. By making a http request to our own heroku app, we prevent it from sleeping

15. 2.) Telegraf API

16. Here we will introduce the Telegram Bot. Here we are using Telegraf API. When the user types /start, it stores the chat ID as a subscriber.

17. 3.) Crypto.com NFT API

18. Crypto.com NFT marketplace does not have any official API but you can monitor the network in your Chrome browser to retrieve it.

19. Now that we have the API we are going to make a POST request at intervals to look for updates.

20. 4.) Putting it all together

21. Here we will put the above steps together. Additionally, I have included a JSON file of NFT rarity which can be found in my repository to help the user with decision making.

22. Congratulations on creating your very own bot!

23. Repository Link
