As Stricter Regulations Loom, Ink Finance Can Build DeFi Protocol’s Infrastructure Of Transparent And Compliant Governance

Ink Finance

By Rachael Green, Benzinga In the wake of the collapse of the world’s third-largest crypto exchange, FTX, the entire centralized crypto finance regime is facing intense scrutiny. Not only the exchanges, but also crypto lending entities, such as Genesis, are being litigated by authorities. What is particularly alarming is that such heavy handed regulatory scrutiny is likely to be extended to the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, as the official language of “just the beginning” suggests. This has brought renewed debate to the tricky question of how to incorporate stronger regulation into a space built on the concept of decentralization and autonomy. There are no easy answers just yet but one thing is for sure: the decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) in the DeFi space might need to be ready for adaptation to new compliance requirements at a moment’s notice. Ink Finance, an all-in-one DAO toolkit designed with financial DAOs in mind, is here to make that adaptability possible. Here’s a quick overview of some of the Ink Finance features that bring enhanced transparency, traceability, and accountability to financial DAOs facing an uncertain regulatory future. A Smart Contract Factory with Built-In Security, Compliance, and Risk Management Ink Finance bills its platform as a smart contract factory where DAOs can choose the most relevant organizational and operational modules on its preferred network. These modules make it possible for a financial DAO to sub task compliance and KYC to a network of regional DAOs, each with its fully autonomous governance schemes and self-regulated policies. Through such an organizational setup, a financial protocol DAO gains scalability when facing regulatory challenges. Since all user DAOs’ operations are fully demonstrable on-chain, regulators can easily trace and verify their individual compliance practice. The protocol can mitigate the risk of shutting down due to unpredictable irregularities arising from bad actors. Each one of these self-regulated user DAOs can elect and verify their trusted professionals to act as their managers, and choose their trusted KYC facilities. A range of different identity and background verification methods including biometrics and legal identity verification can be imposed upon managers and investors, to meet compliance requirements. The entire process of making such choices and the KYC/KYB “watermarks” will be fully implemented on-chain, and integrated into the DeFi protocol’s transaction framework. If the financial protocol wants to implement certain risk management rules regarding the traded products, the rules can be proposed and voted into resolution by the entire meta community, once again showing its decentralized nature. Such rules, once enacted, will be imposed on the product issuers, who must make all disclosures according to the rules. In the case of forced liquidation of collaterals, the issuers must allow the protocol’s elected representatives to hold the controlling positions that allows for collateral disposal. Plug-and-Play Agility Ink Finance’s modulated platform integrates both governance and financial functions, allowing financial DAOs to build, manage and adapt their structure all in one platform. This all-in-one solution closes a lot of the gaps that leave DAOs exposed to a lot of inevitable risks if they have to integrate multiple different dApps. DAOs can pick and choose different management units, like a treasury committee, investment committee, or funding committee, without worrying about how to piece them together into one governance structure, which itself can be customized to fit their mission and stage of growth. As the DAO evolves, it can add and remove these components as needed, adapting the structure to keep up with the DAOs dynamic needs. That includes the flexibility to adapt to changing regulatory frameworks without having to completely dismantle the structure. The DAO can simply add or customize the relevant pieces as needed to meet compliance. A Balance of Power Across Stakeholders As some of the recent investigations and lawsuits sweeping the DeFi world have shown, the integrity and security of a DAO often hinges on accountability. To address this, Ink Finance delegates voting power using the principle of stake-to-govern. In order to vote, members must stake the DAO’s token so that they are financially invested in the integrity of the DAO. While establishing “having skin in the game”, this mechanism also effectively raises the barrier to Sybil attacks. To further prevent whale attacks, Ink Finance offers the ability for each sub-DAO to set up badges. Badges allow each sub ecosystem to establish its own requirements for who can vote, and the badges are typically earned or assigned according to the sub DAO’s predefined metrics. The end result is a robust yet agile platform for building and managing a financial DAO that’s capable of addressing a lot of the risks made apparent in the slate of recent investigations and lawsuits. This is meant to empower them to adapt to new regulations quickly. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. Ink Finance is a DAO governance toolset, enabling all kinds of ecosystems to establish governance economy, manage internal finance, and connect with DeFi investors everywhere, through a no-code user experience. As a Financial SaaS built on blockchain, Ink Finance has the most comprehensive financial engineering tools to support on-chain issuance, settlement, clearing, and analysis of Non-Fungible Financial Products.Ink Finance is backed by heavy weight eco builders such as Republic Crypto and DeFi Alliance, partnered with cutting-edge solution providers such as Humanode, Astra, SolvFinance, Polytrade and deBridge, etc. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

8 Best Web3 Crypto Projects to Invest in 2023

Finance News

The next generation of the internet, web3, will incorporate a range of exciting technologies such as blockchain, NFTs, iOT, and the metaverse. Therefore, now could be a great time to build a portfolio of web3 crypto coins for the future development of this niche market. So, in this article we discuss the 8 best web3 crypto projects to invest in 2023. Web3 Crypto List - Top 8 Web3 Coins for 2023 Looking for an up-to-date web3 crypto coins list? Check out the 8 Web3 projects listed below: MEMAG - Overall Best Web3 Cryptocurrency Project with P2E Rewards Fight Out - Web3 Project With Move-to-Earn Rewards on the Blockchain C+Charge - Bridging the Gap Between Carbon Credit Rewards and EV Charging RobotEra - Futuristic Web3 Metaverse With Virtual Land Ownership Calvaria - Battle Card Games Enter the Web3 via Blockchain Rewards Lucky Block - Web3 Casino Suite With Anonymous Gambling Accounts Tamadoge - Play-to-Earn Gaming Ecosystem With Virtual Pets Ethereum - De-Facto Blockchain Framework for Web3 Projects Best Web3 Crypto Coins to Buy Now - Full Analysis Below, we discuss a selection of the top web3 crypto projects that have every chance of playing a major role in how we engage with the internet in the coming years. 1. MEMAG - Overall Best Web3 Cryptocurrency Project Meta Masters Guild (MEMAG) is an exciting new project that is bringing mobile gaming to web3. This project already has a headstart in the web3 gaming space, considering that it has already commissioned three titles from a range of genres, including racing and exploration. MEMAG does not build its own games. On the contrary, MEMAG is partnering with proven gaming developers that have solid experience in blockchain-based titles. This means that the MEMAG ecosystem will suit gamers of all types. This web3 crypto project will host play-and-earn gaming titles that can be accessed from any smartphone. The idea here is that when gamers play a MEMAG game, they have the opportunity to earn rewards. Rewards are distributed based on specific in-game accomplishments, such as winning a race against another player. While MEMAG games will support the PvP (player vs player) mechanism, players will also be able to compete against AI. Either way, rewards are paid in GEMS tokens, which are native to Meta Masters Guild, The primary token, however, is MEMAG - which is currently available to buy via a presale launch - more on this shortly. When earning and accumulating GEMS, the tokens can be used to purchase in-game assets. Any in-game assets purchased by players are owned by the respective individual. Each in-game asset is represented by an Ethereum-based NFT. This is in stark contrast to traditional mobile games, where purchased items are owned and stored by the developer. GEMS can also be converted to MEMAG. This will suit players that wish to cash in their in-game rewards for other crypto assets, such as ETH or USDT. We also like that Meta Masters Guild will enable players to stake their MEMAG tokens and this is also the case for NFTs. This option will suit long-term investors that wish to earn a passive income on their digital assets while the gaming guild is being developed. Based on the fact that MEMAG has already raised over $3.2 million in presale funding, this illustrates that many investors believe that this is the best Web3 crypto project to invest in. The current price of MEMAG is $0.019 per token. The presale is, however, about to enter stage six, which means that the price will rise to $0.021. This acts as an incentive for investors to complete their presale purchase early. After the MEMAG presale has finished, this web3 crypto token will be listed on a crypto exchange. Visit MEMAG Presale 2. Fight Out - Web3 Project With Move-to-Earn Rewards on the Blockchain Fight Out is another web3 cryptocurrency project that - although recently founded, has already secured validation from the broader investment market. The reason for this is that Fight Out has already raised almost $4 million via its ongoing presale. This feat should not be understated, considering that the presale only went live in late 2022. Fight Out is building a global fitness ecosystem that will incorporate many emerging web technologies, such as the metaverse and blockchain. Moreover, the Fight Out ecosystem will also offer users move-to-earn rewards. The overarching concept is that by completing workout routines, users will be paid crypto rewards. This process will be achieved via the Fight Out app. The only way to accumulate move-to-earn rewards is by subscribing to the Fight Out app, which requires users to stake FGHT tokens. This is the primary utility token backing Fight Out and the digital asset currently available to buy via the aforementioned presale. Fight Out also has a secondary token - REPS. This is the token that users will earn when performing exercises, whether that’s walking, running, weightlifting, yoga, or playing sports. This ensures that users can earn rewards when engaging with their preferred routine. In the coming months, Fight Out will also be acquiring a portfolio of gyms across multiple regions. Fight Out gyms will run in conjunction with the project’s metaverse world and mobile app. In other words, users will be able to earn REPS when working out in a Fight Out gym. The Fight Out presale moves in stages like the previously discussed MEMAG. At the time of writing, FGHT tokens are available at a discounted price of $0.0201. Considering that FGHT will be listed at $0.0333 after the presale, this is an attractive discount of almost 40%. Visit Fight Out Presale 3. C+Charge - Bridging the Gap Between Carbon Credit Rewards and EV Charging C+Charge is also a solid option to consider from this list of top web3 crypto projects. Electric vehicle (EV) ownership continues to grow at a rapid pace as each year passes, and renewable energy, in general, is expected to play a major role in the future of web3. C+Charge is looking to solve an existing web2 problem when it comes to charging EVs, insofar as currently, consumers do not receive any carbon credit rebates. Instead, only large corporations - such as EV markers and charging station networks, do. C+Charge is incorporating blockchain and decentralization into its framework, which will subsequently enable consumers to earn tokenized carbon credits after completing and paying for an EV charge. C+Charge will partner with leading EV networks as well as a broad selection of startups and local alternatives. 1% of each EV charging transaction will be used to purchase carbon credits from the open market. This will then be distributed to the respective EV owner. To gain access to this innovative EV rewards system, consumers will need to acquire the project’s native web3 token - CCHG. CCHG can be used as a payment method when using one of the C+Charge’s partnered stations. We also like that C+Charge is building a user-friendly mobile app for iOS and Android, which offers everything that EV owners need to track their carbon credit earnings. The C+Charge app also provides lots of useful information on partnered charging stations that are within distance. Green investors that believe C+Charge could be one of the best web3 coins of the future can head over to the presale dashboard right now. As of writing, the presale is still in stage one - which means that investors will lock in the lowest price possible. Visit C+Charge Presale 4. RobotEra - Futuristic Web3 Metaverse With Virtual Land Ownership Another segment of the web3 concept that is expected to dominate in the coming years is the metaverse. In its most basic form, the metaverse connects the bridge between the ‘virtual’ and ‘real’ worlds. One of the best web3 tokens in 2023 to gain exposure to the metaverse is TARO. TARO is the native crypto token of the RobotEra metaverse world, which has just launched its respective presale campaign. One of the most intriguing aspects of RobotEra is that users can invest in the metaverse by purchasing virtual plots of land. This works much the same as buying traditional land - but ownership is represented on the blockchain via an NFT. This means that RobotEra plots can be bought and sold safely and transparently. All metaverse transactions are conducted in TARO, which ensures that this web3 token has an actual use case. RobotEra gives land owners the freedom to build whatever they wish, such as a house, condo block, museum, stadium, shopping mall, or casino. In the RobotEra metaverse, virtual landowners will also be able to monetize their investments. For instance, one such idea is to build a blockchain of condos and rent each unit out to other RobotEra users. The RobotEra metaverse, as the name suggests, is themed around robots. Each person that enters the metaverse can create their own robot avatar. RobotEra avatars can be personalized, and extra wearables can be purchased via the online marketplace. Additional features that we like about RobotEra include the ability to build and play games, host virtual events, and socialize with other users. RobotEra has launched its much-anticipated presale campaign, where stage one investors can buy TARO tokens at a 25% discount. This is because stages one and two are priced at $0.020 and $0.025 respectively. As each stage passes, the price of TARO will continue to rise. Visit RobotEra Presale 5. Calvaria - Battle Card Games Enter the Web3 via Blockchain Rewards Another innovator in the web3 gaming space that we like the look of is Calvaria. This project is developing a multiverse ecosystem that enables players to explore and earn. There are multiple worlds to navigate and players can earn rewards by playing battle card games. Before getting started, players will need to mint some NFTs, each of which represents a Calvaria battle card with random traits. The more strengths that a battle card has, the better chance the player will defeat other users. In doing so, the player will earn RAI tokens, which backs the Calvaria ecosystem. Although the Calvaria roadmap is still in its early stages, the game is already making great progress. This sentiment is backed by the crypto community, considering the success of the presale. Put simply, the Calvaria presale sold out in the days prior to writing. The presale successfully sold all of the 150 million RAI tokens that it listed, raising more than $3 million in the process. There will, however, be another chance to invest in this web3 crypto coin. A specific date is yet to be announced, but the first exchange listing of RAI is set for Q1 2023. And what's more, Calvaria has already formed partnerships with major exchanges like Gate.io and KuCoin, so the future potential of this web3 token could be unprecedented. Visit Calvaria 6. Lucky Block - Web3 Casino Suite With Anonymous Gambling Accounts Gambling in the web3 era will represent a major sea-change from the industry’s current framework. At the forefront of this are privacy, anonymity, and enhanced fairness to the player. This is where Lucky Block comes in, which is one of the best web crypto projects to consider. Lucky Block has launched its web3 casino suite, which supports popular digital assets like Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Cardano, Litecoin, and more. Players do not need to provide any personal information when registering with Lucky Block, as its web3 casino supports anonymity. Furthermore, players at the Lucky Block casino suite can deposit and withdraw funds near-instantly. Unlike the current state of the online gambling industry, this ensures that players receive their winnings in minutes rather than days. Although Lucky Block incorporates web3 technologies, its platform is user-friendly and can be accessed on laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Moreover, not only does Lucky Block support casino games, but a comprehensive sports betting platform too. Lucky Block is backed by one of the best web3 crypto coins for 2023 - LBLOCK. This utility token will soon be supported by the Lucky Block casino and sportsbook for the purpose of making deposits, wagers, and payouts. In the meantime, LBLOCK trader at various exchanges and when compared to its prior all-time high, is available at a notable discount of over 90%. This offers a great entry point when building a portfolio of web3 tokens for the future. Visit Lucky Block 7. Tamadoge - Play-to-Earn Gaming Ecosystem With Virtual Pets Tamadoge is also one of the best Web3 crypto coins to buy in 2023. This project is not only building a wave of fun play-to-earn games that come with monetizable rewards, but in the very near future, access to Tamadoge will be possible via the metaverse. In fact, the Tamadoge roadmap also confirms that the project will incorporate augmented reality (AR) into its play-to-earn products which, again, is another technology that is expected to have a major say in the future of web3. Tamadoge gaming products come in the shape of arcade-style titles and the first game has already been launched. Super Doge is a game that requires players to avoid so-called evil SECKnights while simultaneously collecting TAMA tokens. TAMA is the web3 token that backs the Tamadoge metaverse. Another really innovative feature of Tamadoge is that each player is represented by a unique virtual pet. Each pet is backed by an NFT. Moreover, Tamadoge pets can be trained by the player to improve their traits. Crucially, the more strengths that a Tamadoge pet has, the higher the chance of the player defeating other users via in-game battles. There is a Tamadoge leaderboard that rewards winning players with additional TAMA tokens. Tamadoge completed its presale launch in late 2022 - with the web3 project raising more than $19 million. TAMA is now available to buy from multiple crypto exchanges at a favorable entry price, considering the small market capitalization on offer. Visit Tamadoge 8. Ethereum - De-Facto Blockchain Framework for Web3 Projects All of the web3 cryptocurrency projects discussed today have one thing in common - they are all built on top of the Ethereum blockchain. The reason for this is that Ethereum facilitates fast and secure transactions, not to mention smart contract agreements. And as a result, it makes sense that Ethereum should also be considered when building a portfolio of the best web3 crypto coins. Ethereum is continuously improving its underlying framework, especially when it comes to scalability and fees. This means that Ethereum will have everything it needs to host existing and new web3 projects in a seamless manner. Moreover, Ethereum is trading at a fraction of its former all-time high, so now represents a great entry point for new investors. Conclusion The transition from web2 to web3 is moving at an unprecedented pace, so investors from both the traditional and digital asset spaces are already building a portfolio of suitable tokens. Meta Masters Guild and its MEMAG token are especially popular, considering that it has already raised over $3.2 million via its presale campaign. Web3 investors still have time to purchase MEMAG at the discounted presale price of $0.019 per token. Visit MEMAG Presale Contact Details Finance News Alex Brown alex@financenews.com

Chairman & CEO Joshua Sodaitis Announces Annual Letter to Shareholders

Peer to Peer Network

McapMediaWire -- Peer To Peer Network a.k.a MobiCard Inc. (OTC: PTOP ) today released the following annual letter to shareholders: Dear Fellow Shareholders: Each year, I make it a priority to write to you on behalf of PTOP. I believe that a clear and concise strategy outlined at the beginning of the year helps keep the company focused on the strategic objectives that we aim to achieve. Although I know that each of you has different priorities, we all want the same thing, the value of growth and the company to succeed in our goals. In the year 2022, we faced challenges at every turn: a lingering pandemic, unprecedented government actions, a highly polarized congressional U.S. election, mounting inflation, a war in Ukraine, and a dramatic economic funding shortage that short-changed PTOP. We lost a member of our advisory board who decided to be involved in negotiating the MOBICARD™ 2.0 tech contract and then disappeared after having promised to pay for the contract. We hope he is okay and will return for the new year. Adding to the disruption, these events were unfolding while we learned that DWAC eligibility would not automatically make PTOP shares accepted for transfers to existing brokerage firms. Ultimately, we could only afford half of the strategic objectives we had laid out for the year 2022. Since I have been CEO dating back to 2018… 2022 was the 1 st year in which I was not able to knock down all of the strategic objectives I had laid out in my annual letter at the beginning of that year. But during this difficult time, we have a moment to put aside our differences, offer solutions and work with shareholders who may not have been as active previously. In the year 2023, we have an opportunity to come together in defense of PTOP & MOBICARD™ 2.0’s future. We have seen in many years prior that the shareholders of PTOP have come together previously during instances of conflict and crisis. I am optimistic that we can reengage with previously disgruntled shareholders, & long-lost advisors, for all of our interests collectively. This juncture is also a moment when our company needs to work together to achieve the mutually beneficial strategic objectives, I laid out ahead for the year 2023. Although I began this annual letter to shareholders in reflection of 2022’s challenging landscape, I remain proud of what our company, our employees, & 1099 independent contractors have achieved, collectively and individually. As you know, I have long championed the essential role of transparency, and honesty in our community — MOBICARD™ 2.0 has the potential for bringing people together, enabling companies and individuals to reach for their dreams, and being a source of strength in entrepreneurism. Throughout this past challenging year, we never stopped doing all the things we should be doing to serve our shareholders and remain true to our transparent financial reporting requirements. Looking back on the last year and the past 4 years — starting from my time as CEO in late 2018 — it is clear that my financial discipline, constant investment in innovation, and ongoing development to better the company, is what enabled us to persevere in our steadfast dedication to help shareholders and maintain our financial reporting requirements. I’d like to note some steadfast principles that are worth repeating. The first is that our management team goes to work every day recognizing the enormous responsibility that we have to our shareholders. Maintaining our ability to be listed on the OTC Markets Pink Sheets is the top priority. Second, while I don’t run the company worrying about the stock price in the short run, in the long run, our stock price is a measure of the progress we have made over the years. This progress is a function of continual investments in our people, systems, and product, in good and bad times, to build our capabilities. Whether looking back to 2017 when I first got on the board and the stock was at $0.0001 per share, or in the years since, Peer To Peer Network’s shareholders' investments have resulted in our stock’s significant improvement. These important investments that many of you will make directly into PTOP in the weeks and months to come will also drive our company’s future prospects and position it to grow and prosper. I have no doubt in my mind that 2023 will see the release of MOBICARD™ 2.0 and its debut will lead to significant improvement in the appreciation of our stock price, and of the value of the company overall. In 2022 we announced the Kick-off of a complete front-end overhaul. We completed that goal. We also announced a complete redesign that would include improvements to our web apps, and mobile apps, and make MOBICARD™ easier to understand, faster to use, and add additional functionality. We were calling it MOBICARD™2.0. We are $30,000 short of having MOBICARD™ 2.0 completed. That is why I am discussing with our tech team the idea of perhaps releasing MOBICARD™2.0 in stages. This will allow the app to be out and gathering users while we push out updates to add the other additional functionality and features. This will be a big decision for 2023 that will greatly depend on the capital available to the company come to the end of February. We have consistently described to you, our shareholders, the basic principles, and strategies we use to build this company — from maintaining a fortress balance sheet, constantly satisfying regulators, continually improving risk governance and controls, and serving shareholders. We are proud to announce that our Q1 financials will be completed soon, and we will continue to clear debt off of our books, while not accepting any form whatsoever of any toxic debt. In 2022 we applied and were approved for DWAC eligibility. In 2023 we plan to hold a majority vote to effectuate key corporate actions with FINRA that will better suit the company and enable further investment from existing shareholders. Namely a restructure. I hope to conclude this vote in the next week and will make an announcement accordingly. In 2023 we plan to file a form C with the SEC. This will enable Reg CF or Crowd Funding. This will enable PTOP to seek the much-needed funding to achieve strategic objectives. Crowd Funding allows for an unlimited number of unaccredited investors and also allows for PTOP to advertise and promote the purchase of our stock directly through the company on social media and online. We plan to work with a specialty company that will host it on their site as well as promotes us to a list of their investors. In 2023 we need to complete a PCAOB compliant audit in order to clear both the Reg CF and in our opinion the corporate actions/ restructure. If PTOP is able to obtain the funding necessary to complete these objectives, our stock should be well over a penny and there most likely will be an entirely new shareholder base interested in our company right in time for our MOBICARD™2.0 apps to drop. We also plan to file an entirely new patent based on our MOBICARD™2.0 solutions. This should build momentum. The plan is for 2023 is simple. Make a press release after the following completed strategic objectives: Complete a Majority Vote Engage a Crowd Funding Company Engage & Fund an Auditor Pay our Tech Team to get out Mobicard™2.0 into the stores Complete the PCAOB audit File with FINRA for a stock re-structure File form C with the S.E.C. for a Reg CF = Crowd Funding / Get approved Engage with Investors Hub (Home Take over Page placed adds) Release Mobicard™ 2.0 Promote User Growth through a well-funded PR & Marketing campaign. If you look deeper, you will find that PTOP’s success and accomplishments are founded on our commitment to EACH-OTHER. Shareholder value can be built only if you maintain a healthy and vibrant company, which means doing a good job taking care of funding requirements, employees, and shareholder interests. Conversely, how can you have a healthy company if you neglect any of these stakeholders? As we have learned in 2022, there are myriad of ways that each stakeholder is dependent on the other. Adhering to our basic principles and strategies allows us to drive forward, and properly manage our capital, as we have consistently demonstrated over the past year. Finally, the basis of our success is our people. Our shareholders and new prospective shareholders that pay to build the company and maintain the regulatory requirements, PTOP’s CEO who makes the strategic decisions, manages the risks, determines our spending priorities. Whatever your view is of PTOP’s complexity and the risks and opportunities ahead, having a great team of people — with guts, brains, integrity, and an enormous capability to navigate personally challenging circumstances while maintaining high standards of professional excellence — is what ensures our prosperity, now and in the future. If I can round up the $150,000 necessary to move the company forward in the next two months we will clear more than half the list within 6 months. We will all be able to experience the BEST year PTOP has ever had! I plan to answer a bunch of shareholder questions on the PTOP message boards on Thursday so I encourage anyone with any comments questions, or concerns to reach out at www.ptopnetwork.com Just think about where the stock can go if we knock down the objectives I have outlined. It will come down to funding to get those initiatives accomplished. together we can make this by far the best year ever.
