Despite being the most valuable part of the streaming ecosystem, the viewer has no direct input on, nor receives any compensation for the time spent watching shows. This is where Sator changes the paradigm.

Sator is a blockchain solution for broadcast television. It empowers the viewer to have direct influence on and interaction with content while receiving rewards for their participation. It also alleviates major corporations from static, artificial roles as middle-men to instead become unifying drivers of value in the community of content creators and viewers. Here’s how it works.

For those unfamiliar with blockchain technology, blockchains are the backbone behind cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Blockchains remove single, centralized entities from typical processes such as maintaining transaction logs or voting. This decentralization gives a level of democracy in online applications not previously obtainable while also providing a significantly higher level of security. These perks do come at a cost: cryptocurrency is the fuel that pays for these costs by rewarding users for participating in the blockchain network.

SAO is the cryptocurrency that fuels the Sator network. At a high level, television creators and distributors need SAO to have their product (e.g. network series) activated on the Sator platform and are rewarded by gaining engagement and growth of their viewership. At the same time, viewers that hold SAO are rewarded for interacting with the series content. In essence, this democratizes the typical television paradigm in which viewers generate the value of a show, yet centralized entities exclusively receive the payout. SAO tokens are distributed to viewers and content creators depending on their engagement with the system.

The goal of the Sator Network is to directly grow and maintain viewership of series by rewarding both viewers and content creators. How is this possible? Through the power of decentralization.

Individuals will need to stake SAO tokens in order to participate in the network. The more tokens an individual has staked and the more they interact with content on Sator, the more rewards they will receive. Not only does this staking mechanism drive demand for the token, but it also protects the network from malicious attacks such as spinning up thousands of “fake” accounts to watch and interact with a show at the same time (i.e., a Sybil attack).

Content creators/providers also need to stake tokens to have their content shared on the Sator platform. The Sator Network will prioritize suggesting series to viewers if the provider locks up more tokens. This incentivizes providers to lock up enough tokens to gain a large viewership. More exciting: content providers can initiate specific reward mechanisms for viewers that can distribute tokens to their own viewers. This is one of the best features of the network — providers must use tokens to activate their content no matter what; this simply allows them to determine how these tokens distribute rewards to their viewers and how much impact they create as they change hands throughout the network.

For example, a content creator may put a QR code hidden somewhere in their show. If this QR code is scanned (through the Sator App) at a specific time, it will initiate a smart contract to distribute rewards to that viewer.

Besides viewers and content creators, the Sator platform is specifically built to handle custom transactions with smart contracts that allow for unique utilization by third parties (e.g., advertisers or sponsors).

As an example of the network, you may expect:

This cycle then starts over, effectively acting as a positive feedback loop, aligning all stakeholders in content creation, consumption and monetization for a healthy and growing ecosystem.

We are very excited to get the Sator ecosystem running! So far, there is one partner producer prepared to launch a full length series along with the launch of the Sator network. Stay tuned for more details about the upcoming show, as well as more details on blockchain intricacies in articles to come.Until then!

The virtual world of Axie Infinity, where players play crypto games that pay money by winning fights, trading monsters, and staking or lending their digital assets, sparked this year’s gaming frenzy. Since many crypto enthusiasts are also keen gamers, the concept of integrating the two passions appeals to a broader set of people.

A fresh wave of games, including Splinterlands, Alien Worlds, and CryptoMines, has racked up hundreds of thousands of daily users in recent months. According to DappRadar, over 1,200 blockchain games are now, with roughly 70 new ones uploaded monthly.

How does a crypto game or crypto game rewards work?

All digital assets, such as XP, in-game cash, weapons, skins, characters, automobiles, and so on, are held by the creators in conventional gaming and development. On the other hand, in a crypto game, the user owns the objects obtained as the game progresses.

Because such games are built on blockchain networks, all linked computers have access to the same amount of data (all of it), decentralising information control and providing players and developers equal power and control. Additionally, all the crypto game rules are simple and easy to understand.

Blockchain technology may be used in crypto games for two reasons. The creators can utilise a blockchain to build the entire contest or only use it for the in-game cash. Every interaction inside the game is confirmed and saved in the form of new blocks in the blockchain in the first case. Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, can be utilised for in-game digital assets in the second situation.

Crypto gaming is based on play to earn. It is decentralised in which players may own unique in-game assets, crypto game tokens (which would be the game’s native token) and can sell them to anybody interested in fiat currency. To put it another way, digital assets may be swapped for cryptocurrency, which can then be converted into real money.

In a word, crypto games are created by storing information about unique assets held by players utilising a whole or partial blockchain system. This is how consumers can play crypto games and earn money.

Beyond understanding crypto games and how it works, there’s been a significant uprise of gaming pools, as well. CoinFantasy is one of those play-to-earn fantasy economies that has a gaming launchpad.

CoinFantasy allows high-quality early-stage businesses to collect funds by hosting a Game Pool, with the winners receiving IDO allocation. In exchange, CoinFantasy would launch NFTs of such projects for the game.

CoinFantasy is a healthy community that welcomes newer games with open arms. We also facilitate white label services for any platform interested in gamifying their community participation with CoinFantasy’s game.

And lastly, any project platform can utilise CoinFantasy to create gaming pools to engage their users/community. Users can avoid bots and receive a creamy layer of people who understand the market this way.

To sum up, Coinfantasy is truly a fantasy for a game developer, gamer, or someone who’s just a crypto enthusiast. With us, you rest assured that your crypto game investment, be it monetarily or timely, is worthwhile.

Do you know why?

Cause like Bitcoin, $AMPL is the pioneer of its own asset class — MultiVariable assets or MVA’s if you like.

$AMPL is the first rebasing currency to ever exist. $AMPL is the most successful rebase token implementation. $AMPL is the undisputed king of rebase tokens. Period.

I don’t say these words lightly… I really mean them.

You know, there were many attempts to create a better AMPL yet everyone failed along the way.

Heck, even the Ampleforth team itself tried different approaches:

Bonds, coupons, fractional reserve; all these mechanisms for so-called “algorithmic stablecoins” simply do not work.

Brandon Iles, Evan Kuo, and their team tried and tested the mechanisms that other algorithmic stablecoins are using today, but never had enough faith in their resiliency to actually launch with them.

As stated by Kuo in response to the Tweet above:

Now, here’s the thing: a risk-free asset does NOT exist. Not even the Dollar, or GBP, or Yen, or Euro in your wallet is risk-free in this rapidly changing world.

$AMPL’s founders realized that and are the reason why $AMPL is designed in such a way.

And guess what?

It works. It actually works.

The decentralized and censorship-resistant Ampleforth protocol automatically adjusts the supply in response to demand so that $AMPL’s price and stabilization can be 100% sustained by free-market incentives.

Since $AMPL went live on Ethereum’s mainnet, it has been running without issues, without intervention (Kucoin hack is a different thing) , and on average, it has maintained its target price of $1.03 (the 2019 CPI-adjusted US Dollar).

Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for other “algorithmic stablecoins”.

I love this ultra IQ quote from Brandon Iles:

“Groups will keep trying to build a risk-free algo-stablecoin, but a risk-free stablecoin is like a perpetual motion machine.”

“Just as energy can’t be created, risk can’t be destroyed. It can at best be re-assigned, hopefully as transparently and fairly as possible.”

The takeaway:

You simply can’t build a risk-free asset. Period. Yet this is what most of the so-called “algorithmic stablecoin” projects are trying to do… and that’s why they fail.

Even Ampleforth, (before they launched $AMPL), designed an algorithmic stablecoin protocol called Fragments which had 3 mechanics at its core: Bonds, Fractional Reserve, and Rebase.

According to Brandon, they never launched it because two of those mechanics (Bonds and Fractional Reserve) would eventually fail:

Apparently, other algorithmic stablecoin projects didn’t get the memo, because most of them still use different variations of Bonds and Fractional Reserve to form the basis of their protocol.

A few core examples of these failed algorithmic stablecoins are:

Basis Cash — Uses an algorithmic central bank that issues bonds/coupons which can be bought and redeemed for the stablecoin when the price goes below or above the $1.00 price target.

Empty Set Dollar — Uses coupons that are priced at a discount and can only be bought by burning ESD, shrinking the supply.

Dynamic Set Dollar — Uses coupons, but the premium from the discount is calculated depending on the debt ratio in the protocol.

Go ahead and click on any of these links to see by yourself, the actual price of so-called algorithmic stablecoins.

$AMPL remains as the undisputed king of rebase tokens because it has no collateral, it has no bonds/coupons, it has no fractional reserve or algorithmic central bank, it has no tradeoffs, and it’s not a risk-free asset.

$AMPL is just pure math and driven by 100% free-market incentives.

Its rebase mechanism sufficiently trades price volatility for supply volatility which then drives liquidity from free-market arbitrators who can capitalize on supply changes, which subsequently stabilizes the $AMPL price.

It really is a simple, beautiful, and carefully thought-out design that just works.

$AMPL’s elastic supply and rebasing mechanics do an excellent job at maintaining $AMPL price stability while at the same time, driving interest and demand from the free market, which translates to an increasing market cap, making $AMPL the undisputed king.

As the undisputed king of rebasing tokens, $AMPL is destined for great things.

Great customer service, free parking spots, 10/10 can recommend.

If you can’t already see that, make sure you stay with me and read my next article where I’ll explore the bullish case for $AMPL and how you (the free market) can capitalize on its bullishness.

The Teams are working hard to get all Documents in Superalgos translated. To organize and document the Progress of this huge task we use a google spreadsheet initially built by mARTin-B78. You can view the spreadsheet here.

The overall progress of all languages can be seen in the Table screenshot above. It is also split into Sections: Book, Concept, Nodes, Topics, Reviews, and Tutorials.

We focus most on the Tutorials cause this is the obvious Starting point for everyone that learns Superalgos, followed by the Documentation Book.

Up to now, the most diligent Team is still the Russian Team. They have translated 65,75% of all Documents to Russian so far.Containing 99% of all Tutorials and 93% of the Reviews! Followed by the German Team with 21,63%. So far 97% of all Tutorials have been translated to German.The Turkish Team has translated 16,78% of all Documents.

The translation Team had written their own POW this month by our translation team lead mARTin-B78. The following Section is about the Work that has been done in January 2022.

We have active translators translating Superalgos to Spanish, Russian, German, Turkish, Greek, and Indonesian.

The translations have been moved forward Word by Word this month. We still desperately need more contributors! If you are interested in helping with translations you can reach out in any of the main community channels, or on our dedicated translations telegram group.

In the Token Distribution event for the work of December, some members of the Translation Team did not manage to get their Profiles updated or submitted. They did not receive Tokens for their work.
